What are the new director compensation orders that the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 will introduce into the Company Disqualification Act 1986?
HFW
United Kingdom May 21 2015
In general terms, section 110 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 (the 2015 Act) amends the provisions of the Company Director Disqualification Act 1986 (the CDDA 1986) in relation to directors' disqualification.
One of the changes introduced is that the Secretary of State will be able to apply to the court for a compensation order against a director who has been disqualified where creditors have suffered identifiable losses from the director's misconduct1.
A "compensation order" is an order requiring the person against whom it is made to pay an amount to the Secretary of State for the benefit of creditor(s) or a class of creditor(s) as a contribution to the assets of company (amended section 15B(a) of the CDDA 1986).
The Secretary of State can apply for the compensation order within 2 years of a disqualification order being made against a director (amended section 15A(5) of the CDDA 1986).
Factors to be taken into account in determining the amount to be paid under a compensation order are:
The amount of the loss caused.
The nature of the director's conduct.
Whether the director has made any other financial contribution in recompense for the conduct.
Alternatively, the Secretary of State may accept a "compensation undertaking" from the relevant director instead of applying for a compensation order (amended section 15A(2) of the CDDA 1986). A "compensation undertaking" is an undertaking to pay an amount specified in the undertaking to the Secretary of State for the benefit of a creditor or class of creditors as a contribution to the assets of the relevant company (amended section 15B(2) of the CDDA 1986).
Comparison with the Insolvency Act 1986
Prima facie, the compensation orders introduced by the 2015 Act appear remarkably similar to sections 212 to 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986), which allow liquidators to apply to the court for an order that directors contribute to the assets of the insolvent company:
IA 1986 at section 212 provides that an action may be brought against someone who "is or has been an officer" of the company, if the company in which they held office is wound up. In these circumstances, a liquidator, shareholder or creditor can bring an action if that individual has "misapplied or retained, or become accountable for, any money or other property of the company or been guilty of any misfeasance or breach of any fiduciary or other duty in relation to the company".
IA 1986 at section 213(2) deals with fraudulent trading and provides that on the application of the liquidator, the court may declare that any persons who were knowingly parties to the carrying on of the business fraudulently are liable to make such contributions to the company's assets as the court thinks proper. "Fraudulent" is defined in section 213(1) as carrying on company business "with intent to defraud creditors of the company or creditors of any other person, or for any fraudulent purpose".
IA 1986 at section 214 deals with "wrongful" trading. As with fraudulent trading, the liquidator can apply to the court for a declaration to make a contribution to the company's assets. The conditions for"wrongful trading" are defined in section 214(2): the company must be in insolvent liquidation and an individual who was a director of the company at that time knew or ought to have known that there was no reasonable prospect that the company would avoid going into insolvent liquidation. There is a defence at section 214(3) if the relevant director "took every step with a view to minimising the potential loss to the company's creditors".
The principal difference between the IA 1986 and 2015 Act is that the 2015 Act does not specify that any "wrongful" or "fraudulent" activities are required in order for the application for compensation to be made. It merely requires a person subject to a disqualification order to have caused loss to creditors. Therefore, conduct might warrant disqualification and give rise to a claim for a compensation order under the 2015 Act, even though it might not reach the threshold of sections 213 or 214 in the IA 1986. For instance, disqualification for failure to maintain proper books and records.
However, in practice, it is difficult to imagine many situations where the Secretary of State would apply for a compensation order without an element of wrongful or fraudulent trading having been committed by directors.
The new Insolvency Rules are expected to come into force in April 2016. It is possible that the director compensation orders will be incorporated into these Rules given their similarity to the provisions of the current IA 1986.
What is the potential impact of the new director compensation orders upon D&O insurance?
There is some uncertainty as to coverage of D&O insurance if a director is subject to a compensation order made under the 2015 Act. However, in general terms it may be assumed that:
In the case of a compensation order for "wrongful" trading (i.e. a section 214 IA 1986 situation), D&O insurance would likely cover the order if it related to merely negligent activity.
In the case of a compensation order for "fraudulent" trading (i.e. a section 213 IA 1986 situation), D&O insurance would typically exclude fraud and therefore not cover the order.

New eco-friendly, decomposing construction foam unveiled
Written by Bonface Landi
Researchers have come up with a new, more eco-friendly and effective form of building insulation material. The new material was developed due to the shortcomings of the traditional polyurethane-based foam insulators. These traditional insulators harm the environment via the release of volatile compounds into the atmosphere.
A group of engineers from the University of North Texas College of Engineering led the research. The engineers, led by Professor Nandika D'Souza of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, have been working on the project since 2018. D'Souza's lab earned a National Science Foundation grant worth $302,285 to help find a solution to the shortcomings of the conventional insulators.
After much research, the team revealed a new type of insulation material, which is less harmful to the environment. By mixing corn-based polylactic acid with cellulose, in combination with supercritical carbon-dioxide, researchers found they could create an environmentally friendly product. This type of insulator is not only safe but also combustible and decomposable.
"PLA on its own was good, but we found it wasn't as strong as the conventional insulation, so we came up with the idea of mixing cellulose in," D'Souza said. "Cellulose is a degradable fiber and is often found as a waste in the paper industry, so not only is it stronger, but also is cheaper and easier to come by."
The team has already tested its new technology at the UNT Engineering Zero Energy Lab, a space designed to test alternative energy generation technologies. With the technology already tested and proven in the lab, it only has to go through trials in the construction industry to determine its viability.
Kayode Oluwabunmi, one of the doctoral students in DSouza's lab, says the undoing of conventional foam is its inability to break down once it's no longer usable. This means the foam lingers in the environment. "The conventional foams are not environmentally-friendly and do not break down once they are no longer usable. They can stay in the environment for 1,000 years," Oluwabunmi said.
Besides its ability to decompose, the new material is also long-lasting. It shares a similar lifespan with the conventional foam and allows a 12% increase in heating and cooling. In other words, this material will help control energy flow better and with fewer risks.

Give a Little of Your Love by Giving Back During The Holiday Season
Los Angeles Charity Giving Back Nonprofits Volunteering	No Comments
It's almost time to say goodbye to 2018 and hello to a new year. With just over a week until 2019 you may be wondering how you can give back during the holiday season. Yes, you can make a financial donation to a nonprofit cause near and dear to you, but here in Los Angeles, there are many ways you can lend a hand, too. From adopting a beach to reading to kids to helping with a delicious holiday dinner, a little of your time and charity can make a world of difference for those in need this and every season. Happy holidays! And be sure to check out sites like VolunteerMatch and LAWorks, where you can find nonprofits that fit your interests and skill sets.
Donate a book to kids in need
According to the Public Policy Institute of California, 19.9 percent of children in the Golden State lived in families who couldn't make ends meet in 2016. Better With Books provides age-appropriate literature to just such kids — sign up to help them set up their holiday book drive on Dec. 23, or donate some of your favorite kids' reading materials.
Host a donation party for baby items
Want to give back to the littlest guys this season? Host a donation party through Baby2Baby, which gathers items for infants, kids and families.
Shop. Yes, shop. At LA Original
LA is the creative capital of the world. As home to a growing creative community and as the largest manufacturing hub in America, LA is where new ideas are born and made. LA original provides a platform to showcase our diverse makers and promote locally designed, assembled, or manufactured goods through a line of LA-branded products—with proceeds supporting creative entrepreneur programs across Los Angeles. The LA Original program is dedicated to helping support creative entrepreneur programs across Los Angeles. Proceeds from the LA Original program received by the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles will go to supporting the Downtown Women's Center's "Made by DWC" program that teaches job training and maker skills to women transitioning out of homelessness. LA Original intends to support a variety of programs for LA's creative entrepreneurs and manufacturers in the future.
Support citizens transitioning out of homelessness
The 40-year-old Downtown Women's Center provides job training to homeless women, including in the field of product design where residents create stylish stuff like cards, candles, and T-shirts that you can purchase at one of its stores, other retailers around the city, or on the Made by DWC website. You can also check out what the center is in need of — everything from sleeping bags to shoes — and spend three minutes helping them stock up via their Amazon wish list. Nonprofit The People Concern (which was born out of the merger of two major LA social services agencies a couple of years back) provides health care, substance abuse services, and permanent housing to those navigating a path out of homelessness. To help, volunteer at either the Santa Monica or Downtown facilities, where the group is looking for folks to assist with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, donation-sorting as well as volunteers to teach creative writing, yoga, arts, and more. Also consider donating food, hygiene kits, and welcome-home packages to give residents a solid start.
Help a rescued pit bull
Pitties are still among the breeds most commonly dropped off at shelters, and it's no different here in L.A. Consider donating to Angel City Pit Bulls, which helps to rehab the loving animals and find them forever homes.
Provide underserved L.A. kids with toys
The Los Angeles Fire Department and ABC7 have partnered to put on a toy drive for kids in need. Spark of Love needs financial donations and toys, which can be dropped off at your local fire station.
Adopt-A-Family for the holidays
Families Forward Learning Center lets you give gifts and a holiday meal for a whole family. They provide services to low-income folks in Pasadena with young kids.
Put your art to work
The Art of Elysium pairs artists with communities or individuals in need, bringing the healing power of art as far and wide as possible. Donate your time, your talent or your money to help keep these programs going.
Teach computer science skills to the next generation of coders
The goal of Black Girls Code is a lofty one: to encourage girls of color to become innovators in STEM fields through exposure to computer science and technology at a young age… and train 1 million girls by the year 2040. To help the national organization accomplish it, sign on to volunteer with the LA chapter, which is often seeking experts in science and tech fields (we're looking at you, Silicon Beach crew) to lead and teach workshops to aspiring "tech divas." And if you're not the science-y type, there's always a need for non-tech volunteers, too.
Deliver meals to seniors on your lunch break
For homebound seniors and seriously ill adults, having someone bring a meal to their home is a literal lifesaver. The mission of St. Vincent Meals on Wheels is two-fold: Yes, the food part is obviously important, but the organization stresses that simply getting to chat for a few minutes with the friendly face dropping off a meal can make a big difference in the lives of those who live alone.
Support the LGBTQ community
The long-running Los Angeles LGBT Center provides healthcare, social services, housing, and more to members of the LGBT community in need, in addition to doing advocacy work. To learn how to get involved (the org needs help with both regular programs and special events), attend a monthly volunteer information session. You can also drop off gently used coats, casual clothes, and professional wear that can be used for job interviews along with new socks and underwear that the center distributes to homeless LGBT youth.
Read to kids
In order to encourage underserved kids to cultivate a love of reading and set them up for academic success down the road, you can sign up to read aloud to small groups of youngsters during Saturday reading clubs at area elementary schools organized by the nonprofit Reading to Kids. While that's happening, their parents are getting trained on tips and tricks to keep them reading at home, and the children get to take donated books home.
Clean up the beach
The environmental nonprofit Heal the Bay is focused on making LA's coastal waters safe, healthy, and clean through education, advocacy, and giving hands-on examples of what it's doing via the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium. One simple way to make a difference, though, is to participate in the group's monthly beach cleanups taking place at a different beach on the third Saturday of the month. You can also get your whole office involved through the Suits on the Sand private cleanups (just tell everyone they're going to the beach and get into specifics once you're out there), as well as Adopt-a-Beach, where you commit to ensuring a specific part of the beach is cleaned up multiple times a year.
Rescue a pet
Taking home a pet is a serious commitment, but it's also the absolute best thing in the world (hence why millions of us pick up poop on a daily basis). If you're ready for a furry new roommate, there are lots of rescue groups to consider, many of which frequently run adoption events, including LA Animal Rescue, Much Love Animal Rescue, and One Dog Rescue, which focuses on senior and special needs dogs. (These and more than 100 other rescue groups are part of the No-Kill Los Angeles coalition, all of which are helping homeless pets find their people.) Most of the organizations are also looking for foster homes for dogs and cats: Foster parents take care of pets temporarily and bring them to adoption events until they finally get their happy ending… via a home and human.
Have a safe and joyous holiday season! See in 2019!

August 22, 2011 by Rabbi Konigsburg
Ekev 2011s
Parshat Ekev Saturday Morning 2011
In this week's Parsha, Moses reminds the people of Israel that, no matter what they may think about their enemies and the military that is arrayed against them, no matter how many people the Canaanites may put in the field to oppose them, even if their opponents are the eight foot tall giant Anakites, no matter what the Israelites might see in battle, they should never forget that God fights with them and that, as long as they are faithful to God, God will be faithful to them and they will achieve victory.
This is the core promise behind the idea of a "promised land". It is the promise on which the modern state of Israel was founded. Israel was the land and the Jews were returning home. As the theme song from the movie "Exodus" reminded Americans, "This land is mine; God gave this land to me." For two thousand years the few Jews who remained in the Promised Land were despised and persecuted. They suffered bigotry and attack as well as famine and disease. No matter who conquered that land, Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, Arabs, Turks or the British, the land promised to the Jews remained a difficult place to live, and to earn a living. Over the centuries the other nations used up the soil and denuded the mountains of their trees. They took all the resources and left precious little for anyone who remained behind to use to earn a living.
But from the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Jews began to return to the land, suddenly it was possible to drain swamps and plant forests. Suddenly new cities could be founded and farms could produce food not only for the country but to export to Europe. The Jews who returned to their Promised Land found that the land was not a desert and a swamp; it was fertile land waiting for those with vision to restore her to her beauty and glory. When the State of Israel was founded, the land was already well on its way to be the miracle that it is today.
But in 1948, and even as early as 1929, there were those who wished to derail the miracle. There were people in Europe and in the Middle East who wanted to see the Jews fail. They attacked Jewish settlements forcing the Jews to fight back. There were civilians killed, doctors and nurses ambushed and a university under siege. But the Jews in Israel understood that if they failed in their determination to settle the land, there was no place else for them to go. World War II made it very clear that Jews were not welcome anymore in Europe. Israel was the nation that just had to be a success, where every other nation who tried to settle there, was not.
In 1947, the British were in charge of the "holy land". But the fighting between Jews and Arabs continued to get worse. The British took the side of the Arabs so the Jews began to fight against the British. Many soldiers and even civilian administrators died in that conflict. Great Britain finally had enough of the fighting and told the United Nations to sort out what they should do with this land of conflict. The UN came and held public meetings. They interviewed British, Jewish and Arab leadership. They created a partition plan; they would divide the land between the Arabs and the Jews who wanted to live there; a two state solution that was adopted on November 29, 1947 and was set to take effect on May 15, 1948. The Arabs and the British tried many tactics to undermine the Jewish side of the state. Both of them were resentful of the Jewish success in the land and their inability to push them out like others had been pushed out before.
In 1948 the Jewish part of the state came into existence. The Arab state never came to be. The Arabs were so intent on stopping a Jewish state that they never prepared at all to create the Arab state mandated by the UN declaration. Arab refugees found themselves in refugee camps unable to win control of the land from the Jews and no other nation would take these Arabs in. Many of these refugee camps from 1948 are still in operation today. In 1946 and 1947, it was the Jews who were in refugee camps in Europe. None of the nations there wanted them so they founded their own state and left Europe behind. Could you imagine what Europe would look like today if there were still Jewish refugee camps from World War II?
I remind everyone of this history because in the next few weeks, sometime in mid September, the refugees from the war of 1948 who have lived in refugee camps these past 63 years finally will go back to the United Nations and ask for a state of their own. Why the long delay? Why did they wait so long to take their case to the United Nations? Why ask for a new nation, why now demand what they once refused? The answer to that question is very important.
To this day, the Arab refugees, who have become known as Palestinians, have never accepted the State of Israel. They have worked for over 50 years to destroy Israel by war, by terror and by increasingly audacious demands. Israel has survived every attempt to undermine the country and undermine the government. In spite of all of this, of all the nations in the Middle East, Israel is clearly the most prosperous and democratic. Through it all, Israel has demanded that if there is to be a two state solution, it has to be a Palestinian state that is not a threat to Israel and the Palestinian leadership have to negotiate the details of the peace with the Israeli government. Other countries can help, support and push along the process, but in the end, the issues are between Israel and the Palestinians and these two parties must resolve their differences in order that the two states will be able to live together in peace.
This is why the unilateral declaration of independence is opposed by almost every western government, including the United States. In order for there to be a credible country, it has to be born of credible negotiations, not unilateral declarations. The Palestinian leadership, unable to bring themselves to accept the State of Israel wants the world to recognize their own state while they still refuse to recognize the right of Israel to exist. The declaration is a ploy to further evade meaningful negotiations. The fear in Israel and the United States is that this declaration will become like many of the other resolutions of the United Nations, another one sided document that will have to be pushed aside when the two parties finally gather to negotiate. It is an artificial negotiation strategy that takes fictions and makes them into facts that will make future negotiations more complicated. It does not resolve any of the important issues of Jerusalem, refugees, borders and settlements. In fact, this UN resolution may actually undermine previous peace agreements between the Palestinian leadership and Israel.
For this reason there is a petition going around that asks Americans to oppose this unilateral declaration of the Palestinians and to support the position of Israel and the position of the United States (affirmed unanimously in both houses of Congress and by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton) that the UN is not the place anymore for the Palestinians to demand a state. The petition affirms that the Palestinians should sit down to negotiate a peace plan with Israel in good faith. We do not seek to deny the Palestinians their right to their own state, only that the path to that state begins in the Middle East and not in New York. The petition has been created by the Jewish Community Relations Council in New York and is being presented to all the counsel generals who have embassies in this country, asking them to affirm that the Palestinian dream of homeland depends on their willingness to open meaningful negotiations with Israel.
Please go to the petition online, either at home or at the public library, or come into our office this week and put your name on the petition. It is not often we are called upon to do something this easy and this important to help our Jewish state. Since 1948 everyone has known that there will eventually be a Palestinian state in the Middle East. But it will be born of direct negotiations and not through unilateral declarations. Our goal is peace in the Middle East and this declaration will take us further from that goal. Sign the petition and put your name on the line demanding not a unilateral declaration but meaningful negotiations in order to bring peace and prosperity to all. Arab and Jews living in peace; that is a dream worth becoming a reality. This declaration, coming to the United Nations in September, will not bring us closer to realizing our dream.
May God help us make peace with our neighbors the old fashioned way, through building trust, negotiating the issues and making the difficult decisions with our enemies. The blessings come from conversations and compromise. May these be the blessings that bring us to peace as we say…. Amen and Shabbat Shalom

What is AutoEPAP?
AutoEPAP (automatic expiratory positive airway pressure) automatically adjusts a patient's expiratory pressure in response to flow limitations or obstruction of the upper airway.
AutoEPAP is now available in the United States, and already in use in other markets. It's an option when in Astral's iVAPS (intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support) mode that automatically adapts to a patient's changing pressure needs as their respiratory disease progresses.
Other upgrades
In addition to AutoEPAP, Astral users worldwide can now:
Easily change interfaces: Patients can easily change between a mouthpiece and a full face, nasal or pillows mask from a single limb circuit.
Customize program names: Clinicians can now name programs on a patient's Astral device for fast, easy access.

Lo, and Arpa called forth the great web of being. And from the web of being, the first stars appeared.
Sri Alkaid to Tau Mizar.
Norich drew another shallow, inconsequential breath. He had been lying to himself for sometime, now. Feigning devotion. There, in the basement of their gateway, he was disconnected. And he knew it.
The crisis began when he was passed over for promotion into Server, with the rector choosing the insufferable Whitehall instead of him. Sorrow mingled with his rejection when he was given the alternative assignment of the servlet class, which also interfered with his time spent in the directory. He needed to optimize. He needed to refocus.
He should've done a better job protecting his signal.
Norich's open palm passed along suspended droplets of wax as he brushed against the candelabras standing there in the dark. Unwanted packets, unconverted by the flame. He didn't want to admit he was sinning–at least not yet–he had a good reason to be down there. He was looking for the net of lights, to serve as an illustration for the new class. A better man, like Whitehall, would've done the proper thing and informed someone of his purpose. But Norich wanted to agonize over his faith in privacy.
The dirt from the floor had somehow already gotten between his toes and stuck there. It would contribute to his appearance of piety, next time they all prayed together. But Norich found the dirt irritating, and he considered lighting a candle just to find his way back out of the storage room. He longed for the cleanliness of the directory. He longed to search again. He hadn't felt Arpa's signal in sometime, now.
He wondered if he'd ever experience connection to Arpa ever again.
He knew what the other clients would say. "There is no personal connection." "Are you linking with others?" "You're meant to be a Node, not a Hub." "Come under our domain!" And so on.
Norich wondered if his doubt and uncertainty had begun earlier. If his desire to become a Server was really a desperate attempt to stave off uncertainty, and its accompanying questions.
He remembered the first axiom of his own servlet class–long before they modernized and softened the curriculum.
But such a truism was always spoken with a warning, too. All religions had ways of hedging their bets. Written truths were always qualified with verbal warnings. And this truth was no exception.
It was only months ago when Norich's devotion and fervour were at what he now suspected was their zenith. His former self would've zealously rebuked him. But Norich now realized his faith was animated and sustained by his time on the browser. He wasn't a gifted teacher, that was already certain. But if he didn't get his act together, he would lose more of his allotted time in the directory. Perhaps he'd be stuck teaching the servlets for the rest of his life. Perhaps he would be reduced to another nominal believer. Never a Server. Never a Node.
His childhood dreams of joining the Eurls of old were now so far away from him.
Norich found the net of lights in their appropriate bin and gathered them up in a bundle in his hands. He plodded up the stairs, pulling himself up along the crude metal railing in the dark. He pushed the door open with his back, unaware of the person who was passing by. Norich felt the door strike the man and knock him back, and this shook him out of his existential despair.
"Oh, sir–I'm sorry!" He said.
The man stood quickly and brushed himself off.
"No bother, none at all." He said, hastily. Then, recognizing each other, they clasped both hands together.
"Father Drummond!" He said, with greater regret than his initial apology.
Norich looked down at the tangled mess of wires in his hands. It was such a crude representation of Arpa's creative spirit. A necessary reduction, to be sure. But it fell short of even an approximation of the beautiful grandeur of the web of being.
"I haven't heard anyone call them that in some time, actually." Norich said.
Old Drummond had a sparkle in his eye. As always, Norich couldn't tell if the man was being cheeky, crude, or instructive. Perhaps he was always all of the above. Norich didn't have the energy to be offended.
"Pleasure connecting," Norich said, intending to move past Drummond.
Norich shifted on his heels.
Norich said nothing, sucking both his lips into his mouth.
Drummond said this with surprising levity.
"And 'the uncorrected becomes corrupted.' I know." Norich tried to shorten his breath to hide his contempt.
Norich felt pangs of guilt and fear radiate outward as though the old man had hooked and plucked a taut wire within him. Was there now malice in Drummond's eyes? Would he report Norich? Would he subject Norich for optimization?
Norich instinctively looked past Drummond, to see if they were being observed. He'd heard rumours of Drummond's willingness to bend the rules, but he'd never taken them seriously. Was the old man setting him up?
Norich remained silent. He would've remained so, forever, if not for Drummond's kindly smile. It reminded Norich of the way a fire looks, when the kindling finally overpowers the first small timbers and springs forth into life.
The sparkle in his eye transformed into something gentler, and more apprehensive.
"But something happened to me on my way to the Directory," he said, reaching past Norich. He decisively ran the back of his hand against the unfinished edge of the basement railing. His skin split open along a wet, red line, as his blood cells immediately began terraforming his ancient knuckles.
Norich looked at Drummond as though for the first time. His apprehension dissipated into ether, and his lower eyelids moistened.
"You would?" He asked the old man.
"Well, would you?" Drummond said, as the sparkle returned.
"Good, good." Drummond said, taking the tangled web of Christmas lights from the younger man. Drummond offered a parting smile.
Norich stood there in the hallway for a moment, trying to absorb the gift he'd been given. This was his one chance to reconnect. To restore his dying faith, while there was still something living inside him.
Drummond patted his pockets as though looking for a card. Finding nothing, and scolding himself with an inarticulate grunt, he reluctantly changed tactics.
Norich drummed two fingers back and forth on the back of his hand.
"No," Norich said, as fact.
Drummond looked down at his feet and noticed the blood on his robe. He berated himself again, and bundled the lights even tighter. Norich knew he would now have to hurry away.
Drummond shrugged and walked away, leaving Norich alone again.
This was a heretical idea, and both of them knew it. The fact Drummond could state such a thing so incontrovertibly was proof of his own renegade reputation.
And the Norich of just a few months ago would've reported the old man, without hesitation.
Norich laughed, and sighed, and felt shame. The midday sun was unobstructed by the clouds, and it was curling the edge of the thatched roof just outside the nearest window. He would have to–he would get to–head straight to the Directory. To avoid any questions, he wouldn't take the tunnels. He'd just have to momentarily suffer first.
A drop of Drummond's blood had fallen between Norich's thumb and forefinger, when they transferred the lights between them. Norich decided not to wipe it away.

"The Fed's work on the issue began several years ago with its support of the National Asset Scorecard for Communities of Color, a landmark survey co-written by Hamilton and Duke economist William Darity Jr. and funded in part by the Ford Foundation. The study measured wealth across racial and ethnic groups in five metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, Miami, Tulsa, Washington, D.C., and Boston. From the NASCC results, the Boston Fed published its 2015 report, the Color of Wealth in Boston.
According to a working group convened by the Boston Fed, understanding the ways in which communities of color have been systematically excluded from wealth-building programs is the first step in reversing that trend.
With that in mind, in late May, the group of 30 public, nonprofit, and private-sector stakeholders published its analysis of the research and recommendations for closing the wealth gap in Boston. The group included priority areas we'd expect to see in a paper addressing the wealth gap, like expanding access to quality education and homeownership opportunities, and ensuring that workers earn a living wage.
But the NASCC data show that for most people of color, more education and higher incomes do not correlate with increased net worth. While improving education and wages is certainly part of building assets among communities of color, the solution will be much larger in scope and must look farther down the line. Many people of color simply have not been able to accumulate enough liquid assets to safeguard against a catastrophic event like a job loss or illness—let alone pass anything along to the next generation. In fact, in the five cities studied, Hamilton, Darity, and their colleagues found that where whites typically have thousands of dollars socked away in case of a financial crisis, black residents only have an average of $200 in liquid assets."


Binary options trading can be scary, binary options trading can be complex, binary options trading can be time-consuming, but the truth is that it doesn't have to be any of these things. There really isn't a need to spend an enormous amount of time sitting at your computer every day and every night digging through mountains of research and fretting over every decision that you need to make, every trade that you initiate. You can make a smart move and do what other traders have learned to do and use a binary options robot to help you with your trading.
A binary options robot is actually not a robot at all, it's a small software application that operates on a website and uses highly sophisticated algorithms to analyze data and initiate trades within a preset range of parameters that you have chosen. This allows you to sit back and let the power of hundreds of thousands of pieces of historical trade and market data from the last few decades be put to work for you. The robot uses this mass collection of market and trading trend data as well as other information to analyze the best moves to make and initiate trades based on them. This allows you to take the best advantage of real-time, quick action trading that offers you the possibility of the highest yield with the lowest risk. While you may at first have a bit of trepidation about letting a machine take over some or all of your binary options trading activities, there really is no increased risk. In fact, in most cases, you are actually lowering the riskiness of your market moves by having better-informed information and the power of highly analyzed trend data being put to work in the decision making.
You could spend all day, every day working the market for your binary options trading like you always have, or you can be smart and use a robot. An option robot can make the decisions for you and free you up to have more time to do all of the other important things in your life, your business, and your trading activities. So how do you get started with binary options robots you may ask. It's simple, you just log onto one of the robot operators and select the best one for your needs. See, different brokers allow you to use different types of robots on their trade networks. You need to have the right robot for the broker that you work with. Services such as BinaryOptionsExpert.net offer you a wide range of robot choices so you can choose the one that works with the broker or brokers that you have accounts with.
The price of using a robot is actually very economical. Just like with any other convenience/informed expert tool the price I going to vary some from one provider to another and from one robot (operations package) to another. The important thing to remember though is that you are paying for the increased efficiency and better results that using a binary options robot can bring to your trading activities. In the end that is a value that is without a doubt priceless.
You could burn through throughout the day, consistently working the market for your twofold alternatives exchanging like you generally have, or you can be brilliant and utilize a robot. A choice robot can settle on the choices for you and free you up to have more opportunity to do the majority of the other essential things throughout your life, your business, and your exchanging exercises.

West Indies legend Brian Lara's record for the highest individual Test score was on the line when Australia opener David Warner played a sensational knock of 335 not out against Pakistan in the second match in Adelaide. David Warner could not break the record as Australia captain Tim Paine decided to declare their innings after the opener crossed the 334-run mark - the highest scores of former Australia captains Don Bradman and Mark Taylor. Brian Lara, who was in much appreciation for David Warner's knock, met the opener during the Australian Open Golf 2019. Lara posted a picture along with Warner on Instagram and captioned it "735 not out".
735 Not Out! @davidwarner31 congrats!! #AustralianOpengolf #AustralianG.C #lefthanders
A post shared by Brian Lara (@brianlaraofficial) on Dec 3, 2019 at 5:52pm PST
Lara's record of 400 came against England in 2004. Warner's best-ever Test knock helped Australia post a mammoth 589/3 in the first innings.
In response Pakistan were bowled out for 302 and bundled out for 239 runs after they were asked to follow on. Australia clean swept the Test series 2-0 against Pakistan.
Australia are currently second in the World Test Championship standings with 176 points. They will be touring India for a three-match One-Day International (ODI) series in January, 2020.

Skillswise
School Radio
Could mindfulness really work for me?
BBC Teach > Secondary Resources > KS3 PSHE / GCSE PSHE
The word on everyone's lips
Mindfulness seems to be everywhere – TV, radio and in every Sunday newspaper. It promises to be everything from a cure for depression to a way to improve your sex life.
Put simply, mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment. It draws on eastern meditation traditions and was introduced as a clinical therapy in the 1970s by American professor Jon Kabat-Zinn. Therapeutically, it trains people to focus their minds and understand that negative thoughts may come and go.
But does science back up the claims and is mindfulness worth a try?
Effectiveness in depression
Adapted from Kuyken et al., Lancet 2015.
Participants in this study had a history of depression (three or more previous episodes) and were at risk of it recurring. They were not clinically depressed at the start of the study. The lines show the proportions who remained depression-free while on treatment.
WATCH: How to do it
The clinical form of mindfulness-based therapy is led by professionals. It's usually an eight week course. But most of us can incorporate mindfulness techniques into our everyday lives. Prof Willem Kuyken suggests how you could give it a try.
People with current depression, psychosis, post-traumatic stress disorder or substance dependence should speak to a healthcare professional before trying mindfulness.
CLAUDIA HAMMOND
So, Willem, first of all: how would you describe what mindfulness is?
WILLEM KUKYEN
Mindfulness is a capacity that we all have to bring awareness to our experience. But with particular attitudes of curiosity but also crucially of care. So for me a moment that I can really bring to full awareness is a moment where I held both my daughters for the first time. It's very easy to me to bring to mind the full experience of seeing them, holding them, smelling them and that's the sort of capacity that we can bring to any moment in our lives.
So is there a way that I can get a sense of what mindfulness feels like, right now?
One way we could do that is with some mindful eating. And one way I'd like you to do that is to take an object and to relate to this object in a way as if you've never encountered this object before. And we're going to start by looking at this object form a number of different angles.
Yeah so it's interesting, looking at this raisin. There's some very shiny parts of it and then there's kind of dark shadowy bits when you look more carefully.
OK and then we're going to play with the sense of hearing now. Maybe just moving it between the finger and the thumb and seeing what sensations come in at the ear.
You don't expect to be able to hear a raisin at all but actually if I squeeze it there's a very tiny crinkly squeaking noise.
We'll move to another sense now – the sense of smell. And just holding it underneath the nostril.
It smells very sweet but with bitterness or a sourness at the same time.
And now we're going to pick up the sensations of taste but do this very deliberately, very slowly. Just taking the object into the mouth and moving it around with the tongue.
Mmm you can really feel the rough bits on it. You can feel the ridges.
And whenever you're ready putting it between the teeth and just taking a bite into the object and very deliberately, swallowing the object.
Mmm that was fascinating – that's a completely different way of eating something to the way I would normally do it. It makes it very nice but there's also something calming about it. What else can you do to practise mindfulness in everyday life?
Two things that people have said they find helpful is the commute to work. That walk to bus stop is done with real awareness with all of the senses open to the weather and so on. Another example is the shower and instead of thinking about the day ahead or what's just happened actually being fully present to the sensations of the water, the smell of the soap.
If people want to get into this further, are there specific exercises and practises they can do?
Yes there are lots of good mindfulness resources online. One is the three minute breathing space and that's a very nice practice that sort of introduces mindfulness in three different stages.
The first stage is actually to get people to begin by just noting what's happening for them just now in their mind, in their body, in their emotional state. And then to gather the attention on the breath so very deliberately in the second step to come in and actually focus and follow through the breath for three four five breaths . And then in the third step people are invited to expand their awareness out to the whole of their experience.
Sounds great might give those a try.

Colgate University Awarded $10 Million From Alumni Couple
Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, has announced a $10 million gift from alumni Gretchen and Stephen Burke.
In recognition of the gift, one of two new residential facilities on campus will be named Burke Hall. Slated to welcome first-year and sophomore students this fall, the buildings will have classrooms, seminar rooms, and student lounges as well as native stone and design elements reminiscent of those found on other campus buildings. Burke Hall will join Jane Pinchin Hall as the first residential additions to the school's upper campus since 1927, when Stillman Hall was completed.
Members of the James B. Colgate Society — Colgate donors who have contributed at least $1 million to the school — the Burkes have supported the Colgate Fund, Colgate athletics, the Office of Undergraduate Studies, internships, strategic initiatives, the school's general endowment, and the renovation of the Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology. They also established the Stephen '80 and Gretchen Hoadley '81 Burke Endowed Scholarship and the Gretchen Hoadley Burke '81 Endowed Chair for Regional Studies. Gretchen Hoadley Burke joined Colgate's board of trustees in 2011 and served for four years as vice chair. Steve Burke is president and CEO of NBCUniversal.
"We are proud to be part of this historic moment and honored to see our name join Professor Pinchin's on the residential quad," said Gretchen Burke. "During my student days, she was a favorite faculty member and my thesis adviser. When Steve was a trustee, we knew her as an active interim president. These new facilities, bearing the names of those who have shared a lifelong love for Colgate, will advance the university's vision for its third century, supporting both the personal and academic growth of students for generations to come."

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This animated program has four educational goals: to celebrate the power of inventing imaginative stories, to introduce basic literary concepts, to help viewers develop listening and comprehension skills, and to enrich vocabulary through storytelling. Pinky Dinky Doo, a 7-years-old girl, lives in the "great big city" with her parents.When a problem arises, Pinky dances her way to a cardboard story box and uses a piece of chalk and her imagination to tell a story. During the made-up story, Pinky must "think big" at wich point she comes up with an often clever and wacky solution to the problem. To encourage listening skills, Pinky then invites children to play games where they review details about the story. Children are helped to increase their vocabulary with each episode's "Great Big Fancy Word", wich is featured several times during each episode.

Burnham Priory Publications was set up as an imprint of Bristol Folk Publications especially to reissue classic western and adventure novels by Shirehampton-based author, Hal Jons.
Jons had 15 western adventures published between 1960 and his death in 1983. These were joined, under the 'nom de guerre' of Harry Graham, by Channel Incident, a gripping, all-action WW2 adventure novel, and Pit Prop, an explosive novel taking in disaster, infidelity and incendiary emotions in a Welsh mining village.
In recent years Hal's books have undergone something of a reappraisal and have been held up as all-action 'genre exemplars', where good always prevails over evil and the hero always gets his best gal. All books have been republished in the year that celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth.


MAYOR of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr John Boyle will host a series of events at the Guildhall on 11 November 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
The international commemoration of the centenary of the end of World War I – entitled 'Battle's Over' – will see a unique series of events taking place throughout the UK and countries around the world in remembrance of the millions of men and women who gave their lives or returned home wounded after 'The Great War' (1914-18).
The events being organised are part of a Mayor's Initiative that is being delivered in partnership with the Council's Museum and Visitor Services.
It will include a lunchtime lecture and talk, an exhibition, an interdenominational service at 6pm and the lighting of two beacons, one in Guildhall Square and the other in the Diamond, Castlederg.
Events will begin at 6am on 11 November with lone pipers playing 'Battle's O'er' – a traditional air played after a battle, and will include a lunchtime talk on the First World War by local historian Seamus Breslin as well as a temporary exhibition in the Guildhall depicting some elements of the current Creative Centenaries #MakingHistory 1918 Exhibition that is on show at the Tower Museum until the end of March next year.
Speaking ahead of the event, Mayor Boyle, whose grandfather fought and survived the trenches, said: "I think that it is appropriate to host this unique series of events to remember and honour those who died or were wounded during the dark days of the First World War.
"This event forms part of the Council's 'Decade of Centenaries' commemorations.
"It is important to reflect on the tragedy that befell so many young men and women and the families from this island at that time. They came from all walks of life and from every religious and political persuasion.
"I often think of my own grandfather, Jack Rutherford, who was just a boy of 16 years of age in 1914 when he volunteered to go to war.
"One year later in the autumn of 1915, he was in the trenches of the Western Front and ultimately was part of, and witness to, the tragedy and brutality of the first day of the Somme offensive on the 1st July 1916.
"He lost many good friends that day and on subsequent days. Of his company of 250 men of all ranks only 21 survived the first day of the Somme unscathed. Like so many Irishmen, Nationalist and Unionist, his was only one story.
Mayor Boyle added: "People can disagree with wars and the strategies and the purposes of war, but we should also recognise the circumstances and the conditions, the motives and the lack of choices of those who were put on the front line and in harm's way in wars.
Curator with the Tower Museum, Roisin Doherty said the Museum Service is delighted to be working with the Mayor to deliver this important commemorative event.
She said: "I am delighted that we will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War with events taking place throughout the City and District.
"The Mayor will then host a number of events in the evening – including a short Interdenominational Service in the Guildhall followed by the lighting of a beacon and the ringing of bells to celebrate the end of The Great War to include the symbolic 'Cry for Peace Around the World' event.
Those interested in attending the interdenominational service at 6pm are encouraged to register in advance with the Mayor's office to assist with catering arrangements.
They can email mayor@derrystrabane.com or tel. 028 71 376508.
A series of events are taking place across the Council area, most of which are being co-ordinated by the Royal British Legion.
Local churches are also organising events to commemorative the anniversary including the Parish of Glendermott and Newbuildings who are organising an exhibition in Glendermott Parish Church from 8-11 November.

Team building events can be an excellent way for your company to instill its mission, vision and values into staff as well as to cultivate bonding and camaraderie among those employees and managers who participate. In order for your team building event to succeed, it's important to plan out the day with purposeful activities and to make sure you stay within your budget for the event.
Before you do any event planning, make sure to review how much money your company has available and budgeted for the event. While it is possible to plan a team building event on a shoestring if necessary, you don't want to go over budget and run into accounting problems or run out of money without having covered all your expenses. Events that run longer than half a day usually provide food during a meal break for participants, so plan on adding the cost of a meal for staff to your expenses.
Once you know how much you can spend on your company's event, find a suitable location. This may be easy if your company has boardrooms or meeting rooms big enough for all your participants. However, it may be more difficult if you don't have ready access to such types of facilities. Hotels often have meeting rooms available for corporate events at reasonable rates. As you look for your ideal location, be sure to keep in mind anything you'll need to have in the room as a part of your event. Whiteboards, screens, catering tables, and laptop projectors are among some of the popular items you may need for your event.
A popular and useful way to begin your day of team building is by starting off with icebreaker exercises designed for people to get to know each other. For example, in a team building exercise for employees of a coffee shop, the day could start off with a game that requires participants to find out the favorite beverage of every other employee.
Ideally, your opening activities should give staff a chance to learn more about each other while at the same time affirming some aspect of the business's mission, vision, values or corporate culture.
Another popular way to start off a team building day recommended by Team Building Brisbane is by having the group divide itself up into pairs. Each member of the pair interviews the other person, and after 10 minutes, each participant introduces the person he or she was paired with. Companies often use this type of exercise to teach the importance of listening skills.
Participants can get restless, bored and contemptuous if they don't feel that they're gaining anything from the event or from specific exercises. Exercises should not take more that 30 minutes apiece, and the meaning of each exercise should be discussed once it's been completed. For example, one popular exercise that teaches non-verbal communication skills as well as leadership and collaboration is to have participants work in teams to put together a simple puzzle of various shapes without speaking. The exercise itself teaches collaboration and communication, but many participants won't understand how it ties in with their everyday work experience unless a discussion follows.
Team building events can do wonders for helping your company to create a team that works together effectively. However, the key to creating a successful event is to make the exercises meaningful and relevant to the daily work of each participant. Also, knowing the budget you have in advance will help you to plan out your location, your materials cost and your cost for any meals provided without running out of funds.

Pope Hopeful on Cluster Bombs
May. 19 2008 00:00
GENOA, Italy -- Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday said he hoped a Dublin conference on cluster bombs will outlaw the deadly weapons by agreeing on a strong international convention.
"I hope that, thanks to the responsibility of all the participants, a strong and credible international instrument can be achieved," he said during a visit to the northwestern Italian city of Genoa.
Representatives of more than 100 nations gather in Dublin on Monday to finalize an anti-cluster munitions treaty.
Cluster munitions open in mid-air and scatter as many as several hundred "bomblets" over wide areas. They often fail to explode, creating virtual mine fields that can kill or injure anyone who comes across them.
