CAPE TOWN CITY BALLET
The Southern Hemisphere's oldest ballet company and one of the oldest in the world. 1934 University of Cape Town Ballet Company, 1964 CAPAB Ballet Company, 1997 Cape Town City Ballet (CTCB). Section 21 company, not for gain.
STAY UPDATED on news, productions and events by subscribing here
UNIQUELY SOUTH AFRICAN
The CTCB is renowned throughout South Africa and internationally for the diversity of works in the repertoire and the dancers for their inimitable energy and style – characteristics that stamp the company as uniquely South African. The CTCB has a long-standing practice of developing South African choreographic talent. Many of our foremost South African choreographers were given opportunities early in their careers to create works on the CTCB and its forerunners. These include Veronica Paeper, Christopher Kindo, and Sean Bovim, who still create extensively both here and abroad, and more recently Lindy Raizenberg, Kirsten Isenberg and Robin van Wyk. The CTCB is committed to the development of choreographers and to the creation of uniquely South African and African ballets.
The CTCB is governed by a Board of Directors, and is able to operate with a small staff, due to the high calibre and experience of the incumbent of every single post – both artistic and management.
There is a total of four people in the management team, and it currently employs 28 dancers on full-time contract. It uses students from its extensive development programmes to supplement the corps de ballet when necessary. One wardrobe staff member ensures that the costumes, some of which date back to the 1970s and are still being used, are in good order for forthcoming productions.
Dr Dulcie Howes, the founding Artistic Director of the company, was adamant that, from the moment of formation, this dance company would give opportunity to talent, irrespective of race or colour. She proved to be formidable in this regard and throughout her directorship, both the ballet company and the training programme gained a reputation for ensuring that opportunity for training and employment was open to all, despite the ruling laws of the time.
Professor David Poole, her successor, continued this tradition and the UCT training programme was one of the few in the country that graduated students from across all communities in the country. The Company has in the past been the home of such dancers as Mzonke Jama, Kevin Muller, Sharon Paulsen, Christopher Kindo, Laveen Naidoo, Jack Wyngaard, Llewellyn de Villiers and Desiree Samaai, all of whom have made names for themselves in dance overseas, as well as in South Africa. Under his guidance, the CAPAB Co reached international standards of production and direction, and enjoyed constant interaction with directors and teachers from abroad.
In her time as Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer of the CAPAB Co, from 1990 to 2005, Veronica Paeper wrote over 40 ballets, full-length and one-acters. Even after her retirement as the Artistic Director of the CAPE TOWN CITY BALLET in 2005, this Company retains her works and reproduces them regularly, to the delight of her many supporters. Her Orpheus in the Underworld, Don Quixote, Carmen, Camille and Cinderella continue to draw audiences, while her Drie Diere, to the music of South African composer, Peter Klatzow, remains the definitive South African balletic creation.
Under the Artistic Directorship of Robin van Wyk, the CTCB has intensified the original philosophy of opportunity for talent into one that actively searches for, and creates, training, performance and choreographic opportunities for young dancers from previously disadvantaged communities. In addition, the CTCB has a committed objective to ensure that the company is at least 90% staffed, both in the artistic and administrative spheres, by South Africans, which is driven by a policy to ensure the advancement of black South Africans.

Non Obvious with Hugh Hansen
nonobviouspodcast
Episode Nine – Renata Hesse
In this episode, Hugh sits down with Renata Hesse, a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and co-head of their Antitrust Group. Prior to joining the firm, she served twice as Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice and worked in the division for over 15 years.
Hugh and Renata discuss among other things, her childhood in Berkeley, what it was like growing up in a "big caliber family," and her somewhat unusual entry into antitrust. They trade experiences working at the Antitrust Division and Renata explains how the division has dramatically shifted in terms of international cooperation and the sharing of information among global antitrust enforcers.
From there, they dive into China's track record on antitrust, theorize on potential outcomes of the DOJ's review of the consent decrees governing ASCAP and BMI, the effect of companies like Amazon and Walmart on the market and consumers, and why FRAND issues continue to arise. They reflect on the tension that exists between IP and antitrust and Renata's view that "both disciplines are really trying to get at the same thing. They both are trying to encourage innovation and competition… and to let people reap the rewards when they do something great."
They conclude by reviewing hot topics in antitrust: whether the consumer welfare standard is the right standard, how antitrust analysis should take data into consideration and, finally, whether antitrust is doing the job people expect it to.
Episode Eight – Nicholas Groombridge
In this episode, Hugh sits down with Nicholas Groombridge. a senior partner in Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, who over the past 25 years has been extensively involved in all aspects of patent litigation.
Hugh and Nick discuss a wide variety of topics, starting with his childhood in Birmingham, England, the long trail through Brazil and ending up in New York. They talk about why he started practicing in the patent field, the pros and cons of being a litigator and why he prefers jury trials in patent litigation, which aren't available in most of the world.
Nick and Hugh address the question of whether patent law in the U.S. is currently in crisis. They opine on the impact of Mayo and other Supreme Court cases on patent eligibility, especially claims covering medical diagnostics. They discuss the recent troubled relationship between the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court and what the future might bring. Nick predicts that the Supreme Court "may have no choice but to re-engage here" and points to the petition for certiorari that was filed by Athena Diagnostics in the beginning of October.
Episode Seven – William Kovacic
In this episode, Hugh sits down with former Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Prof. William E. Kovacic.
Bill is the Global Competition Professor of Law and Policy and Director of the Competition Law Center at The George Washington University Law School. Currently he travels back and forth each week to Kings College London, where he is its Dickson Poon School of Law visiting professor of Global Competition Law.
Hugh and Bill discuss a wide variety of topics starting with his idyllic childhood in upstate New York and his early cultural and familial influences. Not surprising that Bill was drawn to the law, and competition law in particular, with a family of lawyers and a very unusual year off from law school working in the U.S. Senate on its subcommittee on antitrust. You'll learn what has kept him interested in it all these years.
Bill had three separate periods working in the FTC, including one where he served as its Chair. These have given him valuable insights into the workings of the FTC. For instance, what role does the FTC administrative structure, including the fact that there are five commissioners, play? What is the current state of the FTC and its leadership? Is the pay-for-delay FTC approach of filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court better than the traditional administrative law model of ALJ opinion, full Commission opinion, appeal to federal court of appeals of party's choice?
Hugh asks Bill whether the long-standing existence in the U.S. of both the DOJ's Antitrust Division and the FTC makes sense today. Bill's answer might surprise you.
Next, Bill and Hugh look to the future and around the globe to discuss current effects on competition law including private actions, the gig economy, monopolistic tech giants, developing countries, the European Commission and China.
Finally, Bill states that competition law should shift away from its consumer-based framework and be reshaped to give more emphasis on real workers affected by price-cutting market competition. How likely is this to happen? They discuss the role that Congress and the judges play in shaping competition law and what this means for the future, including his suggested change in the law.
Episode Six – Etienne Sanz de Acedo
In this episode, Hugh sits down with Etienne Sanz de Acedo, the CEO of the International Trademark Association (INTA), an organization that is dedicated to supporting trademarks and related IP. INTA members come from more than 190 countries.
Prior to joining INTA, Etienne had several roles at EUIPO, formerly OHIM, including Head of the Communications Service. Before that, Etienne practiced as an attorney in Spain and taught law at the University of Alicante, Spain.
Hugh and Etienne explore how Etienne ended up at INTA after 15 years at EUIPO, the Association's goals and strategies, where the U.S. stands in terms of support of trademarks and IP in general and the Unreal Campaign. This campaign is aimed to educate teenagers about intellectual property rights and the risks of buying counterfeit goods.
They also discuss whether the Trump administration is good for IP, the evolving view of IP from the perspective of academics and why INTA is moving its China office from Shanghai to Beijing: "[A]t the time we opened that office [in Shanghai], the business was more in Shanghai. [T]he Chinese government was not that open. Since then, things have changed and we think it makes more sense to be closer to the government, to the officials. . . . They're clearly on listening mode and there are definitely things that have improved. But again . . . there is still a lot of improvement that needs to take place."
Episode Five – Sir Robin Jacob
In this episode, Hugh sits down with Sir Robin Jacob, the Hugh Laddie Professor of Intellectual Property Law and Director of the Institute of Brand and Innovation Law at University College London. Prior to UCL, Sir Robin served as a judge for the High Court (Chancery Division) and the Court of Appeals for a total of 18 years. Before that he was a barrister and "took silk" at the Intellectual Property Bar for 28 years. Being a "born litigator," Sir Robin talks about his life as a barrister including how he became one and what his typical work week looked like.
Sir Robin left the Court of Appeal at age 70. He looks back on his life as a judge and a jurist's perspective on IP litigation. He also discusses his current academic and arbitrator/mediator experience.
Hugh and Sir Robin discuss IP in different parts of the world, and it might surprise some to learn which country Sir Robin names as having "the poorest litigation system in the world." This discussion includes differing views on the value of a jury system and also what the future might hold for IP in general.
Sir Robin had been crucial in the creation of the idea and early discussion of a Unified Patent Court. It has had an interesting, if difficult incubation period. The EU Commission took over control and then abandoned it. It was revived by one bold Commission Head of Unit. Then came Brexit. Where is it now? Sir Robin discusses whether in his view it will at last become an important component of European patent law.
Episode Four – Stan McCoy
This week, Hugh sits down with Stan McCoy, President and Managing Director of the region encompassing Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) for the Motion Picture Association. He previously served as Assistant US Trade Representative for Intellectual Property and Innovation in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. They discuss Stan's time at the USTR, IP policies under the Obama and Trump administrations, and the effect of social media on passing IP legislation in the US and EU.
Episode Three – David Kappos (Part 2)
Hugh continues his two-part conversation with David Kappos, partner at Cravath, Swaine, and Moore LLP and former Director of the USPTO. Among other things, they discuss patent law and its relationship to other areas of intellectual property, the Supreme Court's record on dealing with IP issues, and why subject matter eligibility under Section 101 is still the most important issue facing the U.S. patent system today.
Episode Two – David Kappos (Part 1)
In this episode, the first part of two, Hugh sits down with David Kappos, a partner at Cravath, Swaine and Moore LLP and former Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). They discuss David's time at the USPTO and his role in passing the America Invents Act (AIA), the major players in U.S. intellectual property law, recent Supreme Court patent decisions and the future of blockchain technology.
Episode One: Judge Denny Chin
In this episode, Hugh sits down with Denny Chin, a judge in the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and a former district court judge in the Southern District of New York. They discuss Denny's different experiences in these courts, the role of dissents and en banc rehearings, and how the appellate experience has changed over the years. They also discuss a number of other issues, including diversity in the judiciary and Denny's numerous trial reenactments of key civil rights cases in U.S. history.
You can read more about Judge Chin here, and visit the Asian American Bar Association of New York's website to find out more about trial reenactments.

It's time once again to vote for the PA River of the Year. The 2014 River of the Year voting period runs from now to December 27th. The winner will be chosen by popular vote.
For the past twenty years, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has annually recognized one river in the state as the River of the Year. This recognition is done to raise awareness of the important recreational, ecological, and historical resources associated with the state's rivers and streams.
The River of the Year is celebrated throughout the year. Events have included paddling trips, a speaker series, clean up days, photography contests, and more. Partnerships of community groups organize the events including a Sojourn paddling trip. In addition, the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers, or POWR, coordinates the production and distribution of a free poster celebrating the river.
The Brodhead Creek Watershed in the Poconos of eastern Pennsylvania drains an area of 312 square miles, emptying into the Delaware River just north of the Delaware Water Gap. Brodhead Creek is a 21.9-mile-long tributary of the Delaware and has long been regarded as the "birthplace of American fly-fishing." An important source of recreation and natural habitat, boasting reproducing wild trout, the Brodhead watershed also provides the drinking water for area residents and visitors. The creek and watershed are located within one of Pennsylvania's fastest growing counties, Monroe County, which has experienced an influx of new residents, many of whom are not yet familiar with the watershed, its natural treasures, and its importance as a water supply.
The Kiski-Conemaugh Rivers offer 80 miles of paddling along the borders of Cambria, Westmoreland, Indiana, and Armstrong Counties. The Conemaugh features the 1,560 feet deep Conemaugh Gorge and 1,308 feet deep Packsaddle Gap. It originates at nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, dropping to 967 feet at the mouth of the Kiskiminetas. The Kiski's deep pools give way to riffles and waves, calming and widening as it approaches the Allegheny. Once one of the most denigrated waterways in the Commonwealth due to abandoned mine drainage and other pollutants, the Kiski-Conemaugh is a true restoration success story.
The Ohio River is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Point State Park in Pittsburgh. It ends 981 miles downstream in Cairo, Illinois, where it flows into the Mississippi River. At this convergence, the Ohio is actually larger than the Mississippi. The Ohio River supplies drinking water and provides recreational uses for over five million people. Its name is derived from the Iroquois word, Oyo, meaning "the great river." Large rivers represent the most imperiled types of ecosystems in North America, and the Ohio is no exception. The Ohio and its islands have been named an important ecosystem for conservation. The Ohio River has additionally been named an Important Bird Area by the Audubon Society.
The Schuylkill measures 128 miles from its headwaters in Schuylkill County to its confluence with the Delaware River in Philadelphia. It is a river with a tremendous history and an inspiring environmental story. The Schuylkill was on the brink of becoming a wasteland until, in 1945, the state of Pennsylvania agreed to undertake the Schuylkill River Project. It was the first major government-funded environmental cleanup, and it dredged millions of tons of coal culm from the river. In roughly half a century, the Schuylkill has gone from being one of the nation's most polluted bodies of water to becoming a popular recreational destination for paddlers, trail users and anglers. The Schuylkill is a source of drinking water for 1.5 million people, and waterfront communities all along the river corridor are now using those waterfronts to bolster community revitalization efforts.
Starting as a narrow stream in the Allegheny Mountains, the West Branch Susquehanna River journeys 228 miles to its confluence with the North Branch at Northumberland. The river is recognized as a National Recreation Trail. Paddlers on the West Branch experience mile after mile of forested valleys with deer, bear, elk, and birds in abundance in Pennsylvania's Lumber Heritage Region. Conservation challenges include long-term water quality recovery from abandoned mine drainage and a legacy of unregulated coal mining that occurred before 1977. The river will host the National Canoe and Kayak Championships in 2014 near Lock Haven.
To vote for one of these rivers as the 2014 River of the Year, visit the website of POWR, which administers the River of the Year program. Local organizations submit nominations for this award which the POWR narrows down to several finalists. POWR also helps organize and support local watershed associations, as well as the groups who lead a dozen sojourns on rivers around the state each year.
A Vote for Peyton Manning is a vote for Junior Achievement Rocky Mountain, Inc.

The first three hours of the test were held in mostly dry conditions, with the exception of one shower, and Romain Grosjean was quickest at that point.
However, persistent rain after midday threatened to turn the rest of Tuesday into a washout.
With teams not nominating wet or intermediate tyres for the test they had no option but to wait for the weather to turn, with valuable hours passing by.
Eventually, conditions improved late in the afternoon to allow little over an hour of dry running at the end of the day.
Schumacher, the son of seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael, was quick to hit the track once it finally dried.
The Formula 2 rookie, making his F1 test debut, had only managed 33 laps before rain halted Ferrari's programme earlier in the day.
However, he was at least able to add another 21 laps to his tally at the end, as well as rise from eighth in the order to second using the softest of Pirelli's five compounds.
Schumacher's best time, a 1m29.976s, was half a second slower than Verstappen, whose own improvement – a 1m29.379s on the middle compound – after the rain beat Grosjean's benchmark by 1.6s.
McLaren driver Lando Norris took over from teammate Carlos Sainz Jr for the second half of the day but only got 17 laps thanks to the weather.
Using C3s like Verstappen, he was still able to join the Red Bull driver and Schumacher in leapfrogging Grosjean, setting a 1m30.800s to go third.
Grosjean ended the day fourth ahead of Toro Rosso's Alex Albon, with neither driver improving on their early C3-tyre efforts before the rain.
Bahrain GP winner Lewis Hamilton completed more laps than any other driver (71) and set the sixth-best time in the Mercedes, also using the middle compound.
On Wednesday his car will be driven by George Russell, who ended Tuesday slowest for Williams.
Fernando Alonso's first day behind the wheel of the 2019 McLaren comprised 50 laps of running as he got to work on Pirelli's tyre development.
The two-time world champion will be back in action on Wednesday, but again on Pirelli duty.


Mods and Rockers, Hippies and Skinheads, Goths and Gangstas: youth culture has always been dominated by the presence of allegiances, movements and tribes whose members identify and define themselves – or are identified and defined by the media – through their music, clothes and lifestyle. Street Culture explores the family tree of youth movements, examining the lines that tie Beatniks to Bikers, Punks to Emos, Goths to Metalheads. Illustrated throughout with over 100 black & white images, the book presents a sumptuous visual history of youth culture, and the style, behaviour and values of the groups who have defined it.

Custom bike shop moves into old Buck's Muffler space
Patrick Anderson
When Kai Morrison bought his first motorcycle, a 1979 Harley Davidson Sportster, the first thing he did was cut in half.
He wanted to make the bike his own.
"I just couldn't leave anything alone," Morrison said.
Years later, the 40-year-old Sioux Falls business owner is still customizing motorcycles, building them from scratch, stringing them together from spare parts or just fixing them up for riders who need a repair.
His business, Kai's Kustoms, opened in August in the old Buck's Muffler location on Cliff Avenue after moving there from another location in southern Sioux Falls.
Motorcycles: Can police turn down the volume on noisy vehicles?
Buck's is more than double the size of his old garage, the move also means benefiting from increased traffic. He hopes to draw more customers into his shop and even increase the retail side of his business simply by being on one of Sioux Falls' busiest blocks.
While Mr. Bendo is gone, Morrison said he is prioritizing the shop's signage and has something tasteful but unique planned.
Substantial improvements went into the exterior, with new paint and siding, and Morrison also updated the inside of the garage and shop area, where a custom bike sits with a "for sale" sign, ready to greet customers.
"The building has had quite a fresh facelift," Morrison said.
Morrison, a Watertown native, has a strong fabrication and building background and in 2000 cofounded Twisted Chopper as an ownership partner. He spun off from the partnership in 2013 to start Kai's Kustoms.
Kai's Kustoms was operating out of a garage east of Minnesota Avenue and West 43rd Street before moving to its new digs.
"I thought that this would be a really good building because of the location," Morrison said.


"Humble hangouts over extravagant eateries any day."
I kind of don't like restaurants anymore.
Well, I never really liked them. Wine lists intimidate me, waiters annoy me and the white tablecloths just straight up humiliate me as I spill everything and anything onto the immaculately clean surface.
In my teens, my mum made me watch a movie on dinner party etiquette to ensure I would behave like a real lady in any fine dining situation. This VHS gem from the '70s explained everything from sipping soup to buttering bread, but the only thing I managed to retain was the placement of knives and forks. You use the cutlery from the outside in.
Now, as soon as I'm seated I seem to regress into a childlike state. I remember once as I was passionately delivering a story to a table of friends, gesturing wildly like us Italians do, a waiter pulled me aside and advised me to sit on my hands while I was talking to avoid any accidents. Low point.
Food from friends is full of love. It doesn't matter if you're eating cheapskate sausages or a pricey bit of steak, innate comfort and an uninterrupted flow of stimulating conversation is priceless.
I hate the awkwardness of it all; I never know whether to continue conversation while the waiter is in earshot and so, I end up trying to include them in our chat like an actual crazy person. I get embarrassed when asked to taste wine, and I have to Google fancy ingredients on a regular basis.
Luckily, my late twenties have become about dining with friends in the comfort of our collective homes and this suits me just fine.
Firstly, you can eat what you want when you want. My friendship group is full of great cooks with fine taste, who deliver delicious, nutritious spreads. I appreciate their cooking far more than any fancy pants degustation stuff. Anyone with allergies can bring their own bespoke dish to enjoy and not feel like an imposition to a restaurant team. Moreover, if you do have an allergic reaction, or just eat too much cheese for your lactose intolerant belly to handle (like me), you can hover over a friend's toilet free from judgement and let it out, literally.
We can also drink delicious wine with no exorbitant restaurant mark up, or consume custom cocktails if someone is feeling creative. And if the alcohol goes to your head and you feel worse for wear, you can have a little nap in your best friend's boudoir and re-join the party when the room has stopped spinning.
At our age we're all a bit skint, saving for something big; babies, cars, houses or holidays, and eating at home is a lot cheaper. Plus, food from friends is full of love. It doesn't matter if you're eating cheapskate sausages or a pricey bit of steak, innate comfort and an uninterrupted flow of stimulating conversation is priceless.
Humble hangouts over extravagant eateries any day.

Marital Agreements
Jersey Shore Marital Agreements
Marriage is not just a personal agreement between two people to love and care for each other's needs—it is a legal agreement that creates an enforceable bond between two spouses. The end of a marriage often represents an end to a couple's legal obligations to support each other outside of mandated alimony and child support payments.
An important question in all divorce proceedings is how to divide the assets that each party holds. While family courts are empowered to divide the assets and debts of the marriage in an equitable manner, evenly splitting assets down the middle may result in an uneven distribution.
You can outline your needs in a marital agreement either prior to marriage, after the wedding, and even during the divorce process. When determining how to split assets, the court often accepts marital agreements as evidence of what both parties want. With our assistance, you can craft a martial agreement that outlines the expectations for your marriage, shortens potential divorce proceedings, and/or protects your assets.
Asset Division in New Jersey Family Courts
New Jersey family courts have an obligation to create an equitable distribution of property, debt, and funds following the end of a marriage, as outlined in New Jersey Revised Statutes §2A:34-23.1. Courts have great latitude in making these decisions. In lieu of splitting property 50-50, though, and in an effort to create fair terms of divorce, the court generally considers a number of factors relating to both involved spouses, including:
Marriage length
Standard of living established during the marriage
Outstanding debts of both parties
Contribution of each party to the marriage
Behavior leading to the divorce
Earnings of both parties
Debts incurred by either spouse
Ability to independently support one's self
Property accumulated during the marriage
The court's division of assets can lead to a distribution that negatively impacts one or both parties. A marital agreement can clearly define a couple's intentions and desires. These agreements can outline which assets each party would retain, the assignment of any debt, and—to a limited extent—support or custody arrangements in the event of a divorce. Without a martial agreement, courts are forced to determine equitable distribution based on factors alone, rather than the parties' agreement. Our team can help explain the purpose of marital agreements, provisions to potentially include, and how marriage contracts interact with family court laws.
Common Marital Agreements
The most common type of marital agreement is a prenuptial agreement, which is a contract entered by soon-to-be-married individuals that addresses how assets would be distributed if the marriage ends in divorce. A prenuptial agreement typically has no effect if the couple never divorces.
Why Might a Prenup Be Necessary?
While there is no obligation for people to enter into a prenuptial agreement, crafting one may prove advantageous to both parties. Without one, family courts will make an equitable distribution of all assets owned during a divorce, whether they were accumulated during a marriage or not. By discussing the future and planning ahead for it, you and your future spouse work together to identify the needs for your marriage and to protect the assets that you each bring to the partnership.
Upon divorce, a court may split all debt accumulated during the marriage. If one party enters the marriage debt-free and the other carries debt, the financial burden becomes the responsibility of both parties upon marriage. The court can split the burden evenly if the marriage dissolves.
A prenuptial agreement can address these concerns. The court typically assumes that the signatories of a prenup believe that the provisions in the agreement are fair, and the court may be hesitant to void an agreement without due cause.
Crafting an agreement prior to marriage often requires discussion and input from both parties. In working with our team, you and your future spouse can each examine your needs, plan for the future, and form an agreement that protects your assets.
A postnuptial agreement is almost identical to a prenuptial agreement, except for the fact that it is created after a couple is married. Even if you and your spouse choose not to create a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement can be beneficial. Whether it is done before or during your marriage, detailing in advance how a divorce might proceed could help you avoid potential conflicts later in life.
Many people think they only have the option to create a contract to secure their rights in a divorce before they are married. While agreements made prior to marriage are common, it is just as viable for two spouses to enter into an agreement at any time during their marriage.
Known as postnuptial agreements, you and your spouse may create contracts after your marriage.
As a knowledgeable attorney can explain, postnuptial agreements and prenuptial agreements function in the same general way. In both types of documents, spouses determine what to do if a marriage ends and a divorce becomes final.
While both agreements tend to outline similar key terms for a potential divorce, they are created at different times. As the name suggests, postnuptial agreements are made after two individuals are already married. It should be noted that with both types of contracts, the agreement only has a binding effect if the marriage comes to an end.
You may also choose to file a marital settlement agreement at the end of your marriage. If both you and your spouse agree to the distribution of assets, assumption of debt, and custody arrangements, a divorce may proceed much quicker.
For all marital agreements, though, consent of both parties is key. If a party argues they entered into a martial settlement agreement under duress, a court may reexamine the language in the agreement to determine its validity.
Give Our Team A Call Today
You may not want to take your chances with the whims of family court while going through a divorce. While the court is obligated to make an equitable distribution of assets at the end of a marriage, your lack of action could lead to an unfavorable split.
If you are married, are planning to get married soon, or are beginning the divorce process, it may be wise to discuss planning for your future with an experienced attorney. Our team of lawyers can work with you through the entire process of crafting a fair and enforceable marital agreement.
Getting professional legal help and making an informed decision about protecting yourself and your assets can benefit you greatly. Give us a call today to discuss marital agreements in further detail.

Home Marijuana News FBI Data Shows Pot Arrests Decline But Still Outnumber Busts For Violent Crimes
FBI Data Shows Pot Arrests Decline But Still Outnumber Busts For Violent Crimes
The report shows that in 2019, 545,602 arrests for cannabis-related offenses were made.
New data released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Thursday shows that arrests for marijuana offenses declined for the first time in four years in 2019, but still exceeded the number of arrests for all violent crimes combined. The data, as recorded by the national Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, is contained in the FBI's 2019 "Crime in the United States" report.
The report shows that 545,602 arrests for marijuana-related offenses were made by law enforcement officers in 2019. That total exceeds the 495,871 arrests for violent crimes by 9%, according to a release from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). Among the arrests for cannabis-related offenses, more than nine out of 10 (92%) were arrests for marijuana possession only. Arrests for marijuana offenses were least likely to occur in the West, where many states have legalized cannabis, and most prevalent in the Northeast.
Erik Altieri, the executive director of NORML, said in a press release on Thursday that the time has come for law enforcement to refocus its priorities, noting that opinion polls show that a majority of Americans are in favor of laws ending the prohibition of cannabis.
"Police across America make a marijuana-related arrest every 58 seconds," he said. "At a time when the overwhelming majority of Americans want cannabis to be legal and regulated, it is an outrage that many police departments across the country continue to waste tax dollars and limited law enforcement resources on arresting otherwise law-abiding citizens for simple marijuana possession."
Marijuana Arrests Down 18% In 2019
Compared to the previous year, marijuana arrests in the U.S. decreased by about 18% in 2019. The annual total for marijuana arrests peaked about a decade ago, when more than 800,000 pot arrests were made each year.
A major driver in the reduction in arrests for marijuana offenses was Texas, which saw a drop of about 50,000 arrests last year compared to 2018. With the legalization of hemp agriculture under the 2018 Farm Bill, many prosecutors across Texas and in other states announced that they would no longer file charges for marijuana possession offenses. Prosecutors cited the prohibitive cost of lab tests to determine THC levels of a sample, a necessary step to differentiate hemp from marijuana.
Last year, Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, while campaigning for his party's nomination for president, noted the disparities prevalent in the nation's criminal justice system.
"We have people that have criminal convictions for doing things that two of the last three presidents admitted to doing. And so, we have a justice system that is not equal justice under the law," Booker said in a Las Vegas television interview.
"We have people who can't get jobs, can't get business licenses because of nonviolent drug crimes," he added, noting the collateral damage associated with arrests for marijuana offenses. "And especially at a time when we're legalizing things like marijuana. In 2017, we had more marijuana possession arrests in our country than all other violent crimes combined. And so, I'm going to fight to end this."

Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Final Episode is part five and the final installation of a series of yakuza films directed by Kinji Fukasaku. In the wake of a big police crackdown, Akira Kobayashi's icily sun- glassed Takeda attempts to transform the Hiroshima yakuza families into a legitimate political organization: The Tensei Coalition. When the young Matsumura ascends to the chairmanship of the coalition, the older, hardened yakuza led by Jo Shishido (BRANDED TO KILL) seize one last opportunity to stir up chaos and bloodshed. Culminating with the arrests, deaths, or retirement of the first postwar yakuza generation, this milestone series draws to an ambivalent close.
Repeatedly beat to a pulp by gamblers, cops, and gangsters, lone wolf Shoji Yamanaka (Kinya Kitaoji) finally finds a home as a Muraoka family hit man and falls in love with boss Muraoka's niece. Meanwhile, the ambitions of mad dog Katsutoshi Otomo (Sonny Chiba) draws our series' hero, Shozo Hirono (Bunta Sugawara) into a new round of bloodshed, culminating with the tragic demise of the young Yamanaka.
The film is divided into three parts - the first two taking place in feudal Japan, the last segment being more "modern" and set in the late 1960's. All three deal with those that have broken the Yakuza code, and their subsequent torture and dispatch.
When Nick Davis leaves prison after one year in solitaire, he is hired to operate forklift in a warehouse in the harbor owned by the Japanese Yakuza patriarch Isshin Tendo. The place is assaulted by the Italian Mafia leaded by Dino Campanela and Nick rescues and saves the life of Shuji Sawamoto, who is the representative of Yakuza interests in America. Shuji hires Nick to work for Yakuza and becomes his godfather in the family after his oath to join Yakuza. However, Nick is a lonely FBI undercover agent assigned to penetrate in the criminal organization. When the FBI discovers that Campanela is organizing a massive attack to destroy the Yakuza, Nick's boss Littman calls off the operation to leave the dirty work to the Italian Mafia. But the connection of Nick with Shuji and his goddaughter Yuko forces him to help his Japanese family.
Ocho is accidentally captured by a drug trafficking cartel who use Chinese women to smuggle drugs into Japan by hiding it in their vaginas. She is tortured, and manages to escape, fighting both the male yakuzas and a gang of female thieves.
1950's New York City. A bad and bloody gang war is about to erupt on the dysfunctional streets of Brooklyn. The Deuces at war with the vicious Vipers. Scott Kalvert directs this tale of lust, drugs, mayhem and madness during one hot summer on the streets of New York.
When two Girl Bosses fight each other over territory, their enmity is difficult to solve - they are equals in looks, strength, determination, and power of their respective girl gangs. So, the way is open to a mischievous Yakuza Boss who invites them for a peaceful way to decide their feud: a sexual challenge for him to decide who is the better Girl Boss. Trapped, both are subject to the man's lust and sadistic assaults. They escape by joining forces against the yakuza gang, though it costs one of the young women her life - when she was friends already with her former enemy.
The sixth chapter of Jingi Naki Tatakai series With the endless power struggle. The extraordinary combination of Kinji Fukasaku and Bunta Sugawara, along with new ideas and a strong touch of realism, created the sixth movie of the series that describes 'The War of Hiroshima Gangsters' which had lasted almost 30 years after World War II. It can be called the Japanese secret post WWII history. It focuses on the ugly, violent inside struggle of the Yamamori Group of 1959 in Kure City, Hiroshima. Director Kinji Fukasaku, the master of portraying violence and humanity, said "Having making the five previous movies, I found those characters very interesting. So I took a deeper look into them this time." He made this shocking movie with high enthusiasm and revealed the core of gangster's struggle which has never been touched before.
A tough gang of teenage girls are looking for love and fighting for turf on the mean streets of the city! Bad girls to the core, these impossibly outrageous high school hoodlums go where they want ... and create mayhem wherever they go!
James Cagney star's as Tom Powers, a trouble-ridden individual who rises from the position of cheap thug to that of a powerful Prohibition gangster. When his best friend is murdered, Powers self-destructively seeks deadly retaliation.
The latest success by film-maker Giacomo Solaris is a crime thriller about a judge who gets too friendly with the Mafia and is murdered. A resentful Sicilian magistrate orders the film seized, but then he winds up dead, in a fashion just like that in Solaris's movie. Solaris realizes that corrupt political forces are pulling strings, for his friends begin to die in grisly ways. Will he learn the truth about the murder of the judge in time?
The film chronicles the rise and fall of a corrupt police force that Lee Rock becomes a part of.

Request Brochure - Riads of Marrakesh & the Colours of Morocco
Riads of Marrakesh & the Colours of Morocco
Experience the magic and mystique of one of the most beguiling, most exciting and most enthralling cities on earth. Join us for a few unforgettable days in a place that's just a short hop from Europe, offers all the modern conveniences you'd expect from a major city, and yet still remains a world away. In Marrakesh and its surroundings, beneath the High Atlas mountains, you'll be transported to another realm - of warm sunshine even in the depths of winter, of maze-like half-roofed souks lined with a million different merchant's stalls, of hidden squares, ancient buildings and unforgettable food. Stay in the tranquil surroundings of a traditional Riad, where life behind the walls offers an oasis of calm arranged around a garden courtyard, and head into the city to immerse yourself in Marrakesh's mesmerising melting pot of colour and sound.
Stay in a traditional Moroccan Riad or a Riad hotel
Enjoy a guided tour of Marrakesh
Experience the night-time wonders of Djemâa El Fna – the World's Greatest Free Circus
See the exquisite Saadian Tombs and dazzling Bahia Palace
Head into the foothills of the High Atlas on an included tour
Encounter Berber farmers and herdsmen
Optional tours and activities, including a Moroccan cookery course
Five nights' bed and breakfast accommodation in a typical Moroccan Riad (upgrade Riad Hotel available)
A guided tour of Marrakesh
An excursion into the foothills of the Atlas Mountains
Return flights to Marrakesh
Coach travel and transfers throughout
Fully escorted by a friendly, experienced tour manager
Fly to Marrakesh, meet your tour manager and transfer to your Riad. Relax or, depending on the time you arrive, head out to take in the city's exotic atmosphere this evening.
Join your guide for an unforgettable tour of Marrakesh's historic centre, journeying back in time as you explore the city's ancient Medina. This restored Old City is surrounded by red ochre walls, centred on the great square of the Djemâa El Fna, and watched over by the great Almohad Koutoubia Minaret - the city's most famous monument. You'll also visit the exquisite Saadian Tombs, the dazzling legacy of the Sultan Ahmed el Mansour and the Saadian dynasty. Close by, the Bahia Palace is the restored former home of the Grand Vizier Bou Ahmed, and perhaps the city's most opulent building. Enter the labyrinthine maze of narrow streets and alleyways that house the souks, the fascinating collection of traditional markets, all arranged by craft or trade, and a cacophony of sound and kaleidoscope of colour. Your guide will introduce you to the centuries-old ways of the souks, and you can look forward to returning to them under your own steam. You'll then return to Djemâa El Fna, as it comes alive at the end of the day, changing into one of the world's most colourful night markets, with countless food and drink stalls. The vast square is also one of the world's most fascinating free carnivals - a mesmerising mix of snake-charmers, acrobats and contortionists, monkey-trainers, dancers and henna-tattoo-artists - where traditional storytellers ensnare the crowds around them – all against the backdrop of hypnotic, heady, rhythmic tunes played by troupes of traditional musicians. The Djemâa is unfailingly exhausting, and no doubt you'll want to take it all in from the terrace of the Café de France or the aptly named Café du Grand Balcon. Spend time just soaking up the wonderful atmosphere, then return to your riad with the sound of the Djemâa still ringing in your ears.
Journey into the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, the beautiful region that is the favourite playground of Marrakshis, who flock to the valleys to escape the summer heat, and to the peaks in winter to indulge in the improbable pastime of skiing in Africa. Leaving the city, it's a short drive to the foothills of the Atlas, a region of streams and waterfalls, dotted with Berber villages and hamlets, that's home to generations of farmers and herdsmen whose lives have remained unchanged for centuries. Stop at a Berber souk and enjoy a refreshing mint tea. Return to Marrakesh this afternoon, perhaps to explore one of the city's wonderful gardens. These oases of green and cooling shade include the Jardin Agdal and the Jardin Menara, both irrigated by waters fed from the distant Atlas by ancient underground channels, and the exquisite Jardin Marjorelle, pride of the late designer Yves St Laurent. This evening, join us for an optional traditional meal of tagine or mechoui (slow-cooked lamb) at Chahramane, during which you'll entertained by folk musicians and dancers.
Today brings a chance to journey west across the plains on a tour to the Atlantic resort of Essaouira. With its white-washed and blue-shuttered houses, craftsmen's workshops, galleries and sandy beach, Essaouira is a perfect resort for wandering around - whether onto its ramparts for the views, around the harbour, or into the colourful souks of the Essaouira's own Medina. Enjoy a dip in the ocean, or a camel ride along the beach, and perhaps stop for lunch before you return to Marrakesh via the celebrated Val d'Argan winery, founded in 1994, and steadily building a reputation for excellent vintages. Then, this evening, you'll have another chance to enjoy the excitement of Djemâa El Fna.
Head back into the Medina for some final sightseeing, or treat yourself from a choice of very special optional experiences, including the chance to take a Moroccan cookery course in the kitchens of the famed La Maison Arabe Hotel, or to experience a rejuvenating Berber massage. This evening, head back to the night markets, or join our 1001 Nights evening and enjoy music and a traditional meal amid nomad tents.
Bid farewell to Marrakesh, and return to the airport to catch your flight home.

Not in Florida anymore
A new life for Tim Starr
Luca Gorla, Reporter|December 18, 2018
Freshman Tim Starr (far left) joins in a pre-match ritual with the members of the tennis team.
Photo by c. burton
Tim Starr is new to Colorado's cold fronts and snowy winters, and he's also new to Conifer High School.
Starr moved here from Florida during last year's summer, and of course he misses home, but he's making the most out of it.
"I like it here; it's not a sucky place to move to," Starr said.
Starting at a new school is scary and challenging, especially if one is a freshman coming into high school.
"I had to make new friends, obviously, because I didn't know anyone, but overall I think I'm fitting in well. During the first week of school, my friends told me that I was the most 'likeable' person out of all of them, so I think I'm fitting in well," Starr said.
Starr has also been making friends in class as well as on the tennis court; he has been playing tennis since he was in the 7th grade.
Starr lines up with his teammates prior to the start of a match on August 30.
"I played for two years give or take back in Florida; I mainly took lessons. I'd say tennis is more competitive here, because in Florida I wasn't on a team, I just took lessons. I got to meet new people through tennis. I didn't know anyone in my math class, but now I do. Tennis just helped me meet new people," Starr said.
The tennis team hasn't been the only change in Starr's lifestyle. Colorado has been very different from Florida. Florida has golden sand beaches, while Colorado has merciless snow. However, this hasn't been Starr's first encounter with snow; he lived in New York prior to moving to Florida.
"Florida was different because I wasn't used to cold weather, and I've never taken the bus before. I miss Florida a lot; it's colder here and I have friends back there," Starr said.
Starr's family didn't move out here just because of the amazing ski slopes. A new future for his family was waiting for them here in Colorado.
"My dad got a new job here, and he also said the schools are pretty good and wanted us to move here," Starr said.
The pieces of Starr's life are slowly settling into place as he adapts to his new school and lifestyle. But, Starr has already planned for the future.
"I hope to go to college, get a good job, and basically just have a successful career and life."
Starr has already made it past the scary part when it comes to making new friends and fitting in. With his high school life just beginning, his new life in Colorado has too. Leaving the beaches and shores behind, Starr seems ready to take on the hurling snowstorms and challenges that Colorado and high school have for him.

Keith Urban's sixth album Get Closer hit stores yesterday (11/16) and to help promote it, the singer played surprise gigs at New York City's Penn Station and Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. The events were organized in conjunction with Amtrak, who transported Urban from New York to Philadelphia on one of its trains.
Urban played songs from Get Closer, including his current single "Put You In A Song" as well as a few bars of Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom" for the City of Brotherly Love. Pictures of the Philadelphia performance can be found at the Washington Post.
In other Urban news, he was scheduled for an appearance on The Today Show this morning (11/17), as well as CBS' The Early Show tomorrow (11/18). He will also travel to Chicago to tape a performance for the Oprah Winfrey Show that will air later in November.

Is it an advantage for Ligonier to have more kids in our school? No doubt it definitely is. However, it is my understanding that all of these kids are Ligonier kids. It's not like the coaches are recruiting from other schools, or we are a school that can pull kids in from all over the area. We also don't have kids coming to Ligonier to play with their AAU friends, like what goes on in high school basketball at private and public schools.
Furthermore, these kids have worked their tails off, and the coaching staff, like them or hate them, have created a winning culture that kids want to be a part of. We are also going through a phase, where we are blessed with some special athletes. As many others have said, we haven't been this good for that long. It has taken time for us to get this good. When our string of great athletes ends, we might not be this good anymore, but we will still be solid because of the winning culture that has been created.
I'm not sure why the Heritage would want rid of Ligonier. It's not like we have won that many championships in football, or any other sport for that matter. In order for your conference to be successful you need to have good teams. If Ligonier wasn't in the conference, Homer never would have been tested last year. I really don't think Homer beats Guilfoyle if they didn't have that game against Ligonier in the regular season. Homer playing Ligonier in the regular season helped prepare them to be able to beat Guilfoyle. In the Ligonier-Homer game last year Homer was shell shocked. They would have been shell shocked by Guilfoyle too, if they hadn't already played a Guilfoyle caliber team in the regular season.

You can tell a lot about a person or team by the level of competition they want (or don't want) in their conference. I'm impressed with Heritage Conference President Jody Rainey's perspective and desire to make the conference stronger. He's from Homer Center, so he knows the value of having Ligonier in the conference like ChrisKentRam was saying.

RamFan1,
I must have misunderstood Glenn Richards. He said that Ligonier's boys lift and that Saltsburg's kids don't. He said that the Trojans don't have the luxury. I made the assumption that they had no weight room.

The actually reality, which most people don't know, is that Ferndale is more financially stable than either of its neighbors that it would combine with (Westmont and Johnstown). So if anything, they should combine with Ferndale.

Johnstown should have 1 public school. Having Westmont, Johnstown, Ferndale, CV, and Richland is really something. Put all those schools together and you still don't have the Altoona enrollment.

Why stop in Johnstown. There's no real need to have 13 public high schools in Cambria County.

[font="Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]"I don't think Homer beats Guilfoyle if they didn't have that game against Ligonier." That's pretty laughable but if true, maybe Ligonier should follow the example and play schools at least their size or using that example play schools much larger. By following that theory maybe they get to a state championship game, something they've never done. Just shut up and play. That's why HC gets the respect they deserve win or lose. They go about their business like many schools do and worry about their own. You can't blame Glen Richards for looking out for his own student-athletes. [/font]
I wonder if Saltsburg will play their game against Penns Manor on Friday? According to Mark Bertig, of WCCS, Glenn Richards told him that the Trojans lost five players, due to injury, in their game last week. It is time for the BSSD school board to step up! They should require the Trojans to forfeit the remainder of their varsity games. If Glenn Richards, is truly concerned about the safety and welfare of his players, then he should agree with my assessment. It just isn't fair to the remainder of the teams on Saltsburg's schedule. Richards should at least give his team's remaining opponents the courtesy of finding a team to replace Saltsburgh on their schedule.

How would that work for playoff points? If a team were to find a replacement game? Do they still get points from the forfeit? Making the makeup game a gloried scrimmage. I was just wondering how that would work.

It's very rare for a brand new label to excite us as much as Alchemic Breaks does. Set up by a couple of friends of ours with very big intentions in mind, the label will be looking to push the deeper, darker side of drum and bass – which suits us perfectly here at The What. As regular readers know it's in our nature to promote fresh, underground labels so we had a chat with Ben, co-founder of Alchemic Breaks, ahead of the labels first release. Have a listen and read below!

Andrew Ibbotson
Great, quick service. Honest appraisal of our punctured tyre. They repaired when others might have sold us a new one. Nice clean waiting room, even though we didn't wait long. First class.
Barry Carlton
Brilliant helpful guys and great value for money service. Highly recommend
Michael Simpkins
Very happy with For Tyres for their quick and efficient service today to fit two Toyo's to my Mitsubishi PHEV. Would recommend highly
Richard Evans
Quite possibly the best tyre fitters I have ever used. If they don't have it in stock, it'll be ready for you the next day. Cars are treated with respect and not once have any of my wheels been marked. Recently had some Pilot sport 4's fitted at a great price. I will continue to use For tyres for all my tyre needs.
Ian Kinder
Top class service. Friendly, knowledgeable and they really looked after my car. My first visit, I'll be back.
