New Historic Bike Tour
WE-cycle has bikes and we've got history. It's the perfect recipe for a historic bike tour. We've partnered with Aspen's bike-sharing system to offer a unique tour once a week. The pleasant 90-minute cruise begins at Paepcke Park, loops through the grounds of the Aspen Institute and winds through town to the original Lift One. Participants will learn about local history from a trained guide and will be able to see Aspen from a different perspective.
Join us every Tuesday at 9 a.m. The tour is $15 and includes a WE-cycle pass. It meets at Paepcke Park.

Ghost Towns Open this Weekend for Summer
Did you know that Ashcroft was once more populated than Aspen and home to more than 2,000 people? There were two newspapers, a smelter, a school and 20 saloons. But, after the area's shallow silver deposits proved to be disappointing, the miners left for greener pastures and endeavors (Aspen).
The relics of 10 buildings still stand in the ghost town, and you can take daily tours from one of our trained guides any time between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. At $3, it's some of the least expensive entertainment in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Driving over the Pass? Stop by the Independence Ghost Town to hear stories about a town that produced more than $190,000 in gold in just a year. Daily tours 10 a.m .to 6 p.m., and the town is just 16 miles east of Aspen.
Both ghost towns open Saturday, June 14 for the summer and will be open daily through Labor Day.

Q: Stacked/Percentile Bar Chart formatting There seem to be a lot of questions regarding the formatting of bar charts. Sadly, I couldn't find solutions to my problems, despite all the skimming. Apologies if I missed something. Problem information below.
Current code
labelFontSize = 24;
ticksFontSize = 16;

Module[{values},
values = RandomReal[{0, 1000}, {7, 3}];
BarChart[values,
ChartLayout -> "Percentile",
ChartLegends -> Placed[SwatchLegend[{"Crew mission IMLEO", "Cargo mission I IMLEO",
   "Cargo mission II IMLEO"}, LegendLayout -> {"Row", 1}], Below],
ChartLabels -> {Placed[Sort@RandomInteger[{200, 300}, Length@values], Below],
Placed[{"a", "b", "c"}, Center]},
ImageSize -> Full,
FrameLabel -> {Row[{"Roundtravel time/", Quantity[None, "Days"]}],
Row[{"Initial Mass in Low Earth Orbit (IMLEO)/",
  Quantity[None, "Percent"]}]},
FrameTicksStyle -> Directive[FontSize -> ticksFontSize],
LabelStyle -> {FontSize -> labelFontSize},
GridLines -> Automatic,
Frame -> {{True, False}, {True, False}}
]
]

Result

Issues
There are several things that I'd like to change:

*

*I want to use the numbers below each stacked bar (e.g. 200, 219...) as if they were ticks. This means having the same style as the ticks on the left. However, both these numbers and the labels "a", "b", "c" style are being dictated by the label style. How can I change these two into a tick style without interfering with the legend?

*The same numbers (e.g. 200, 219...) interfere with the frame label "Roundtravel time". I could manage a workaround by putting the numbers on top of the bars with the frame label also on top. Ideally though, I'd prefer to leave it below, by just padding the frame label and the legend downwards.

*The swatch legend is not acquiring the colours automatically. Is this due to a mistake in the code? If not, how can I give the swatch legend the same colour palette that is being used?

*In place of "a", "b", "c", I want to have the corresponding bar height. For instance, for the first stack (200 days) something like {35%, 15%, 50%} (with the exact values, I'm just eyeballing them) instead of {"a","b","c"}. Then repeat this for the remaining bars.
Edit (answer to JimB's suggestion)
The time here might be a bit misleading. My goal is not to show how each element changes with the travel time. Rather, it is just to show which are the heavier portions. To show the change with time, I have another plot (image below).

In this one, it should be easier to see how the global mass changes for different travel times. The blue dots are the available data, while the orange ones represent the Pareto front. The reason I'm using a bar chart for the components mass is because I'll have several Pareto fronts all in the same plot (to compare between different architectures). If I'd plot the components mass as well (as suggested in the linked answer) it would go sideways really fast. Besides, I only used three components here but the idea is to go one level deeper. That means about 10 components instead. 10 lines in a plot is already a bit messy, and I'd get at least 4 times that in the same one!
Summarising, one would use this last plot to see how much mass would be required for a designated travel time. Then, if one is interested in knowing the mass distribution for that time, one could go to that specific time in the bar chart.

ticksFontSize = 16;

On Thursday, the School of Music released the names of 14 alumni who will receive funding for music-related projects through the AlumniVentures program. The awards, which were established in 2008, are part of a program unique to the School of Music that gives money back to the School's alumni using money from alumni donations. This year's grants total $67,500.
"There is no other program like this in any other graduate level music school that I can think of," said Sarita Kwok MUS '09, a faculty member in the school who, for the past two, has years chaired the AlumniVentures committee that selects the grants' winners.
"For a school to fund the projects of its alumni is really a very impressive and creative thing," she said.
Kwok said this year the committee, which is made up of five alumni from different decades, received 170 applications. Grant winners are chosen based on how much the committee believes their project will "advance the cause of music," she added. In addition to this admittedly broad standard, Kwok said the committee considers the feasibility of a particular project as well as its budget and overall creative, artistic or scholarly merit.
The $67,500 being awarded this year will support 14 different projects, with each individual grant ranging in value from $3,000 to $8,000. The $8,000 grant, which went to Kelly Dehnert MUS '86, will fund the construction of new practice spaces for the only university-level band program in Malawi.
Dantes Rameau MUS '07 received a $7,500 award that will help support his new organization, "the Atlanta Music Project," a year-round, five-day-a-week afterschool youth orchestra program targeting low-income youth.
He said the AlumniVentures grant will help him start the Atlanta Music Project, allow him to purchase instruments and sheet music, in addition to assisting with the cost of teachers.
While Rameau's project has other sources of funding, Kwok said that AlumniVentures grants are what allow certain initiatives to get off the ground.
For example, Nicholas DiEugenio MUS '09 used a $4,000 Alumniventures award he received last year to put together a series of concerts performed at American military hospitals for recovering soldiers. So far, DiEugenio has hosted one such concert and two more are in the works.
DiEugenio, who has three brothers serving in the military, said he appreciates the School of Music's commitment to support projects that serve the unique passions of its alumni.
"I'm really thankful that Yale has something like this which is so broad and allows people to create their own proposals so people can further the cause of music in a way which they feel is most unique and personal to them" he said.
This year's winners also represent a variety of classes from the School of Music, with three winners who graduated in the '70s and one from the '60s. Over the past three years, the AlumniVentures program has awarded a total of $230,000 in grants to alumni.

TONIGHT 7PM: A BENEFIT CONCERT FOR AMP!


The last few years I've shown myself more grace. Instead of grand resolutions, I have chosen small habits that I thought would make a difference to my bigger goals (similar to The Happiness Project.) Get up early in the month of January. Get more sleep in February.
I have become such a huge fan of simplicity, that I am cutting back even on my small cumulative habits this year.
I see those goals as the shining start at the top of the hill – they light my way, and show me direction. However, I didn't spend hours making elaborate plans for achieving my goals. I'm following my rules: show up every day, do the next right action, be grateful for the opportunity, do it with joy and beauty.
So I took the month of January off and played with my boys. We traveled; we visited family. My only exercise was chasing them up and down slides and in and out of the pool. That's where I needed to show up this month – that was where the joy and beauty was to be found. Now I'm ready to show up to February with the energy to do the next right thing.
How would it feel if we gave ourselves a little grace period. Let's start a revolution. Let's be kind to ourselves. Just for today, show up. Be grateful. Smile.


The weather is beginning to turn and we'll be knee deep in packing boxes very soon, and as we wave au devoir to the last of the summer sun, we're planning another family trip for the spring; this time to Wales. I've been taking a look at the best family days out in Wales so we have an itinerary for our stay.
We've decided to book a cottage again as with Elfin still protesting the notion of drifting into sleep like a normal person, let alone a full night without waking for regular feeds, it just makes sense for us. Having our own space is basically still an essential, and so I'll be using Wales Cottage Holidays to select family-oriented accommodation. Of course we're looking at a few months time so it's possible our situation may have changed, but I'd be a fool to assume so – better safe than sorry. So, our requirements include a minimum of two bedrooms (ideally three), and if it comes with a nanny then that's a bonus. I suppose I can forgo the help so long as there are wine glasses in the cupboard.
While I'd have love a last family trip before Christmas, with moving looming it just isn't practical. Besides, it's nice to have something to look forward to!
Unless you've been hiding under a rock you'll have heard of this place. It's said to offer some of the most spectacular views of Wales and be quite breathtakingly beautiful. Hubby and I will enjoy the majestic landscape, while the girls are happy anywhere they can run about and collect 'poking sticks' with which to inspect the local critters.
Towers; dungeons; fortresses – that's the husband taken care of, and Pixie will be fascinated too, because her father has the most wonderful way of weaving stories around the places we go which keep her utterly mesmerised. The National Trust medieval castle also offers an brilliant children's play area with giant outdoor games, gardens and woods to explore.
A magical world spread across eight acres, the Grottoes offers landscaped gardens along with tunnels, archways and sunken fern gardens. There are also artificial waterfalls and man-made pools, making the attraction a place of beauty, even if it's not au naturel. Much of what's on view at Dewston Gardens and Grottoes today was completely buried around the time of the second world war and has been painstakingly excavated and restored during the last decade. You can find more information about its history here.
With something to whet the appetite of children and big kids alike, this is a must for our family. There's a four storey interactive play area which should be suitable for both girls hopefully, as well a 30ft climbing wall which my husband would be super excited to get Pixie on if she's brave enough! Also featuring a family-friendly waterpark and a spa (not sure who that would benefit, ahem), this is a no-brainer.
An exciting heritage project, this place has villagers dressed in period costume and afford the opportunity to see the reality of medieval life. If there's dress up involved, Pixie will be content.
And finally, a zoo and theme park, because that's what you do with kids, right? With indoor and outdoor zones, Folly Farm is perfect whatever the weather. The girls will love the animals (including giraffes!) and the funfair.
And frankly, by the end of the week I fully anticipate it being a case of 'if they're happy, we're happy'.
Have I missed any of the The best family days out in Wales? Which are your favourites – please let me know if you have any other recommendations!

I recently visited Southgate Audi looking to purchase a 2017 Audi S3. We primarily dealt with Josh Heary in sales, Steve in management and Rob in finance. They all made the experience very good and the whole crew was very professional and easy to deal with. Very happy with the overall experience and I will definitely be recommending Southgate Audi to friends and family!
Jas was extremely helpful and accommodating with the purchase of our new vehicle. He went above the requirements of his job to make sure we were happy and satisfied. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase an Audi from this dealership.
Excellent Buying Experience We bought a used 2008 Audi TT last week from Southgate Audi. Our salesman Greg C. provided excellent service and answered all our questions from our initial test drive until the day we picked up the car. Greg ensured he was free to go over the car on pick up day to answer any final questions and check that all noted deficiencies were attended to. I would definately recommend Southgate Audi and Greg C. to others as it was a great buying experience.
I was traveling through, heading north and needed to replace a light bulb so visited the parts department. At the door I was greeted by Erin, with a warm hello. She lead me to the parts department and I was helped by Ken. Nice dealership with a convenient location.
I came in to shop around for a SUV and was looking at a SQ5. Hoi Wong came up to me and was very polite and courteous. He was very informative and gave a lot of product knowledge. It wasn't a typical high pressure sale he was friendly and approachable.
I stopped by earlier in the week and was treated respectfully and professionally by everyone from reception to the salesman, Xerxes. I made it known that I was a little ways away from purchasing but I was treated like I was purchasing right away. I will definitely go back when I am ready to buy.
I was in the store shopping for a replacement for my current SUV and was pleasantly surprised at the options available at Audi. The store was clean and salesperson was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely be back to buy my next vehicle from Greg.
Buying a car with Greg and Rick at Southgate Audi was a pleasure from start to finish. I'd recommend their superior service from the moment you arrive to begin your Audi experience through to the purchase of your Audi. They offer very personalized service, taking time to understand your needs and ensuring your complete satisfaction with every aspect of your purchase. I don't consider them staff, I consider them friends. I've never experienced such excellent service as I have with Greg and Rick!
I am in the preliminary stages of purchasing a vehicle and wanted information on an A3. I visited Southgate Audi and the salesman Xerxes Rodil professionally answered all of my questions. I am comparing several brands but will definitely go back to Southgate when I am ready to go further in the process.
Ron Kohlman was our sales person and he was knowledgeable, answered our questions and even came in on his day off so that we could do a test drive. He was friendly and made us feel comfortable in the car purchase process.

If you're headed out for a weekend full of camping, food and friends these Caramel Apple Jello Shots will be a great addition to the party. Having a few drinks and relaxing is a tradition at most campsites and jello shots are a great way to start the fun. These caramel apple shots are unique, instead of a cup you use real apples!
These jello shots, do take a bit of prep work that would need to be done prior to leaving. Unless you happen to have an oven at your campsite. The apples will need to be scooped out and baked with the filling. You can then put them in the fridge to cool. One word of advice is to not make these very far in advance as the lemon juice you put on the apples can only keep browning away for so long.
There are many, many versions of this recipe. We found the original and have been using it for a while on thatssomichelle.com. We promise you will enjoy it!

Charlize for President?
Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen, and the cast and director of Long Shot share their thoughts on comedic roles, presidential elections, and the plot for Long Shot 2.
Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) is a gifted and free-spirited journalist with an affinity for trouble. Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) is one of the most influential women in the world. Smart, sophisticated, and accomplished, she's a powerhouse diplomat with a talent for...well, mostly everything. The two have nothing in common, except that she was his babysitter and childhood crush. When Fred unexpectedly reconnects with Charlotte, he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte impulsively hires Fred as her speechwriter, much to the dismay of her trusted advisors. A fish out of water on Charlotte's elite team, Fred is unprepared for her glamourous lifestyle in the limelight. However, sparks fly as their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world romance and a series of unexpected and dangerous incidents.

4 August 2019 | by cruise01 – See all my reviews
Long Shot (4 out of 5 stars).
Long Shot is actually a funny romantic comedy film that delivers with Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen's performance. Involving a little story in the political world with a Secretary of Defense wanting to run for President. And try to help and change the world.
The plot follows journalists Fred (Seth Rogen) and his childhood crush Charlotte (Charlize Theron) who used to babysit him when he was a teen. She is now a Secretary of Defense and trying to run for President. She hires Fred to help her with her speech and trying to help be an influencing leader. While they both start falling for each other. While her team is against them having a relationship which he might be a bad reputation for her running as President.
I am not really a big political person. The plot does involve Charlotte trying to help save the planet and thinking more green. She is trying to save the world for the better. Fred is a democrat and coming from a case of being undercover in a White Supremacist club. Which he jumps out of a window in a three story building cause they found his cover. Fred has been closed minded about the other people's perspective in the political parties.
Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron are great with their roles. It was fun seeing these two on screen. Theron playing Charlotte, and getting high on a drug which she gets an emergency call to help negotiate with another political leader in a different country was a lot of fun.
Director Jonathan Levine and his witty script was a lot of fun. It had humor, charm, and the cast was great.

Joe (2013)
Nicolas Cage in David Gordon Green's Joe.
Dark and uncompromisingly grim, David Gordon Green's Joe is a wicked Southern Gothic tale of violence and vice in the heart of the Deep South.
Cage Fighter by Dave O'Flanagan
There's an undeniable irony in the fact that the titular character of David Gordon Green's latest film is responsible for poison and destruction. This irony is rooted in the fact that the character is played by Nicolas Cage, who himself has inadvertently spent the best part of the last decade poisoning and destroying his once illustrious career. Despite his penchant for questionable role choices, Cage has rambled onto a winner in Joe – it's a return to form of sorts for the Master of Internet Memes. Underneath its sweaty, grubby and unsavoury exterior, Joe is a touching story about a man with nothing to lose saving a boy with everything to lose.
Joe (Nicolas Cage) is an ex-con who lives a simple life in Southern Texas operating a tree-poisoning business. Living alone with his dog, Joe does his utmost to avoid situations that will land him back in the crosshairs of the law. When Joe employs drunken drifter Wade (Gary Poulter) and his son Gary (Tye Sheridan), he suddenly finds his relatively straightforward existence in jeopardy. Assuming the position of surrogate father to the good-natured Gary, Joe becomes hopelessly intertwined in the downward spiral that Gary's father has set in motion.
In a 2013 interview with The Guardian, Nicolas Cage was asked what bothered him most – he responded that it was his craft. He said that he was at a point in his career where he didn't want to act, he wanted to be "as naked as I can be as a film presence". Now, one year later, UK audiences will finally witness this new, more 'naked' Nicolas Cage. As disturbing as such an image is in reality, this figurative stripping down of Cage as a performer is a welcome departure from the likes of the truly awful Drive Angry, Season of the Witch and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. At the center of Joe is a lonely man, whittled down by experience, his face a permanent record of a volatile existence. Cage is perfectly cast in the role and imbues the character with raw physicality and pathos, shirking the more recognisable crazy Cageisms that we've all come to recognise.
Joe's lonely existence is magnified by the prevailing sense of claustrophobia in his surroundings. Gordon Green does a fantastic job of making small-town Texas feel even smaller. From the dimly lit interiors of Joe's house to the neon splattered rooms of a local brothel to the gloom of the forests that are to become graveyards – everything is dark and close and suffocating. In addition to this, the unsavoury and threatening characters that inhabit the town create an unsettling sense of foreboding. This ominous and wicked atmosphere is incredibly effective in putting the audience on the edge of their seats – even more so when Joe's young friend Gary is involved. Following a star-making turn in 2012's Mud, Tye Sheridan is impressive as the young man responsible for an alcoholic father, mentally infirm mother and psychologically scarred sister. It's a complex character for the young actor to bring to life, and Sheridan is convincing as the equal measures brooding and exuberant Gary.
A native of Arkansas, Gordon Green has an innate familiarity with the landscape described in Larry Brown's novel on which the film is based. Coupled with David Wingo and Jeff McIlwain's wonderfully atmospheric score, the Southern Texas landscape is adequately oppressive and suffocating. The director's familiarity can sometimes work against the film however – his patience in letting several scenes 'breath' result in them lingering on long after the viewers attention has waned. In the opening third of the film in particular, this leads to the film feeling disjointed and languid. The protracted pacing of several early scenes feels like a missed opportunity when you feel like you could have spent more time with Gary, Joe and other characters. Between Gary's snarling, drunk and abusive father (played convincingly by Gary Poulter) and Joe's fiendishly antagonistic enemy Willie-Russell (Ronnie Gene Blevins), you feel like the running time has been squandered by poor pacing.
All in all, assured performances from Sheridan and Cage are more than enough to make Joe worthy of your time. The overwhelming sense of malaise from the claustrophobic environments and intimidating characters guarantee that this is never an easy watch. The violence and evil at every turn is uncomfortable and sometimes too much to remain engaging, but the central relationship between Joe and Gary serves as a light in the deep dark. It's refreshing to see Cage take the reigns of such a complicated character, to deliver a stripped down, naturalistic performance with an ease that recalls his Oscar-winning turn as Ben Sanderson in Leaving Las Vegas. Somewhat similar to Joe's sense of duty – figuratively stepping in front of a force destined to obliterate Gary's young life – Cage may just have done something similar for his own career.
Joe is released on 25th July 2014 in the UK

Epic battle re trust monies results in misconduct finding against barrister
Victorian Bar Inc v DAP No. 6 [2006] VCAT 1226
A barrister banked $50,000 into his personal account, arguing that it was a "retainer" and not monies held on account of future fees. VCAT found that it could not have been a retainer because that is a modest fee paid to a barrister to prevent them from acting against the payer, and the barrister already could not act against the complainant at the time of the payment because of his close involvement as his counsel over many years prior to the payment. The difference between "wilful" and "reckless" breach of the Legal Practice Act, 1996 or rules of conduct was explained. The interlocutory decisions in this matter were digested earlier.
The charge was heard by Judge Bowman, Tony Southall QC and T Harper. It was one of misconduct under limb (a)(i) of the definition in s. 137, that is, a wilful or reckless breach of the Legal Practice Act, 1996, namely s. 178's prohibition against banking trust money otherwise than into a trust account. Such a breach is in fact a criminal offence justifying up to 2 years' imprisonment.
The barrister did a lot of work for the complainant at the rate of $250 per hour and, a few thousand dollars short of $50,000 worth, but before rendering a bill for the work, received $50,000 from the complainant which he banked into his personal account (like most barristers, he had no trust account, though his clerk presumably did).
Some of the money went to pay work done after the receipt and was therefore prima facie "trust money" as defined by s. 3 of the Legal Practice Act, 1996 (relevantly: "money given or paid to … a legal practitioner … on account of legal costs in advance of legal services to be provided in the course of legal practice in Victoria"). The Tribunal appears oddly enough to have relied at [5(ix)] on certain work done in England as making out the charge.
The barrister argued the money was a retainer which compelled him to take the matter to trial on behalf of the complainant and that if the complainant won at trial, the barrister could charge additional amounts. That argument was rejected at 21(g) for the reason mentioned above:
"We do not accept [the barrister's] argument that the payment was a 'retainer', or that it should be characterised as such so as to remove it in some way from the concept of trust money as defined, and even if part of the payment covered services not yet provided. It is certainly not a 'retainer' in the sense traditionally used at the Bar. Such a 'retainer' is normally constituted by a back sheet delivered by a solicitor to a barrister, usually marked at a modest fee, and intended to secure the services of that barrister on behalf of a particular client. The intended effect is that the barrister will not appear against that client. The fee attached to it is not in respect of, or off set against, future legal services to be provided by the barrister. The present situation is quite different. On behalf of Anderson, [the barrister] had long been involved in the matter. As submitted by Mr Pitt, he could not then accept a brief against Anderson in the litigation because of the obvious conflict situation which would arise. In any event, there is no suggestion that the payment was made in order to ensure that [the barrister] did not appear in the matter against Anderson. There is no suggestion that it was designed to ensure that [the barrister] abstained from involvement in the matter. The direct opposite is the truth. By reason of the payment, [the barrister] was to remain in the matter, continue to do work in relation to it, and, if necessary, run the matter to judgment. Therefore, it was a payment on account of legal costs in advance of legal services to be provided, and falls within the definition of 'trust money' contained in s.3 of the Act. The Act requires that such payment be paid into a trust account or given to an authorised or approved person. That did not happen."
VCAT explained the relevant part of the definition of misconduct and applied it at [21(v)ff] like this:
"In order for the contravention of s.178 of the Act to constitute misconduct as defined in s.137, the contravention must be wilful or reckless. …
(vi)	We are not satisfied that the conduct engaged in by [the barrister] represents wilful contravention of the Act. The meaning of the words "wilful or reckless" in the context of misconduct by a solicitor received careful attention from J.D. Phillips J in Zaitman v Law Institute of Victoria (delivered 9 December 1994). … His Honour pointed out that the words "wilful" and "reckless" are both used, and some meaning must be imported to each of them. In relation to the word "wilful" he stated:-
'… the word "wilful" … should surely be taken to make it an offence for a solicitor, who knows that it is a contravention of the Act (or the rules or regulations, as the case may be) for him to do or to fail to do some particular thing, intentionally to do that thing or fail or omit to do it.'
(vii)	In the present case, there is no evidence which establishes that, at the relevant time, [the barrister] knew that what was occurring was a contravention of the Act, but intentionally proceeded to do that thing (permit, or organise, for the money to be paid otherwise than into a trust account), or that he intentionally omitted doing what had to be done (paying the money into a trust account or giving it to an authorised or approved person). We accept that he was quite aware of, and indeed organised, requested, or demanded, what occurred. However, as was said in Zaitman, it is the contravention itself that must be wilful, and not the conduct. Thus, whilst we find that [the barrister's] conduct was deliberate and intentional, the evidence does not establish that his contravention of the Act was deliberate and intentional. Accordingly, we are not satisfied that any misconduct was constituted by the wilful contravention of s.178 of the Act.
(viii)	We are satisfied that his contravention was reckless, and that the charge of misconduct is made out accordingly. In Zaitman, J.D. Phillips J stated the following in relation to the meaning of the word "reckless":-
'On the other hand, the word "reckless" should be taken as requiring no more than that the solicitor be shown to have acted, not in the knowledge just described, but with reckless indifference, not caring whether what he does, or fails or omits to do (as the case may be) is a contravention of the Act, the rules or the regulations. The solicitor must, I think, have appreciated the possibility that his conduct (whether it be act or omission) might amount to a breach of the Act, the rules or the regulations …'
It is hard to believe that there would be any legal practitioner, however newly admitted, who was not conscious, at least in a general way, of the importance of trust accounts, the significance attached to trust money, and the fact that there is, and basically always has been, a keen regulatory interest and statutory provisions concerning such things. It is hard to believe that, for any legal practitioner, however recently admitted, some alarm bells would not ring in a situation where money on account of costs, particularly in relation to work which has not yet been performed, is handed over by a client or paid directly into the practitioner's private bank account. [the barrister] is not newly admitted. He has been a legal practitioner for decades. It strains the bounds of credibility that, as an experienced legal practitioner, he did not appreciate that there was a risk that having a client pay money directly into his private bank account, where at least part of such money was for work not yet done, might be a contravention of the Act. We do not accept this. In our opinion, [the barrister], being aware of the possibility that what he was doing or failing to do might be a contravention of the Act, then proceeded with reckless indifference as to whether it was or was not such a contravention.
Furthermore, as stated in Zaitman, there is a professional duty cast upon practitioners to keep abreast of the rules, at the very least in a general way. It is not desirable to put 'a premium on ignorance', to use the terminology employed by J.D. Phillips J in Zaitman.
(ix)	Needless to say, the approach adopted in Zaitman has been followed over the years by the Legal Profession Tribunal. One example of this, and a case involving s.178 of the Act, is Law Institute of Victoria Limited v Stapleton [2005] VLPT 11. Indeed, in addition to following the approach employed in Zaitman in relation to the word 'reckless', the decision in Stapleton contains a very useful and pithy summary of the requirements of s.178. It is as follows:-
'There are two fundamental requirements relating to the conduct of trust accounts that are relevant in matters of this kind. The first is that money received from a client for work yet to be done is trust money. The second is that trust money deposited into a trust account must not be applied to the practitioner's own account as costs until a bill of costs, or a statement of account, or a tax invoice or an appropriate statement of some other kind is delivered to the client.'
(x) … In Stapleton, the Tribunal found that the legal practitioner received trust monies when he did not hold a practising certificate authorising him to receive trust monies, and that the monies were paid for work yet to be done, or for work only partly completed, and were deposited into an office account. In relation to the legal practitioner's state of mind in the context of the meaning of the word "reckless", the Tribunal found as follows:-
'Mr Lovegrove, who appeared for Mr Stapleton, informed me that Mr Stapleton did not appreciate that monies paid by way of retainer for work yet to be done are trust monies … I accept that Mr Stapleton believed that the monies he received were not trust monies. On the other hand, it appears to me that Mr Stapleton did not carefully turn his mind to that issue, despite the fact that he received relatively large amounts of money by way of retainer for work yet to be done or only partly done. I am satisfied that Mr Stapleton must have been aware that he did not hold a practising certificate that authorised him to receive trust monies. It is a specific condition forming part of a practising certificate. Furthermore, I am satisfied that Mr Stapleton was 'reckless', as that word is explained in the authorities, in not making proper enquiry when he received large amounts of money as to whether those monies were trust monies. Instead, he simply deposited the trust monies into his own account.'"

M2M solutions applied in healthcare can save both time and money, as well as improve patients' overall quality of life. Moreover, in a rapidly digitalizing world, healthcare providers everywhere need to evolve to meet new demands.
When it comes to human lives, every second counts. That's why advances in technology and in the M2M sector could well have their greatest impact in the healthcare industry – compared to other verticals. Improving patients' overall quality of life and care with limited resources is one of the major challenges that hospitals and doctors are increasingly facing.
In today's world, doctors are expected to provide improved care despite having to cut costs. Luckily, there are efficient solutions that can help nurses and doctors care even better for their patients. One of the most important aspects of patient care is the constant supervision of the patient's current state of health and whereabouts – a task that can take up a lot of the medical staff's time.
Thanks to intelligent M2M solutions, medical improvements are becoming easier to achieve. Connecting devices to electronic health record (EHR) systems, for example, has reduced the time it takes to enter vital signs from up to 10 minutes to less than one minute per patient. Advanced bed and fall monitors can watch patient movements and alert staff as soon as there is a problem.
Different forms of tracking solutions allow constant patient checks – either at the hospital or at home, where patients can still be monitored after they have left the hospital. These tracking solutions mean that medical staff don't have to check on their patients in person every time, but can continuously monitor them using a tablet, hence reducing their workload and making time for more patients.
Furthermore, tracking solutions lead to increased security for patients due to the fact that doctors are immediately informed as soon as something happens, even when they are at home. So-called Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions enable patients and elderly people to lead self-determined lives and provide peace of mind to their relatives.
Polaris Medical is a private hospital in Romania that offers complex healthcare services. With a team of 150 medical doctors, nurses, and auxiliary staff, the hospital offers complete rehabilitation services including neurological, cardiovascular, psychological, and palliative care, as well as applying holistic therapeutic treatments adapted to each patient's needs.
The patient's well-being is the main concern at Polaris Medical, and its staff needs to be able to intervene fast in the case of an emergency. Therefore, it's important that patients' data is always accessible, and fast. Which communication solutions help them on their day to day activity? A fast and reliable Internet connection, secure data transmission, and GPS tracking of patients.
M2M solution provided by Telekom Romania allows medical staff to locate patients inside the hospital around the clock via tracking bracelets. A panic button is incorporated in the bracelets for emergencies. Pushing the button lets the staff know that a problem has arisen. They can then monitor the patient's whereabouts and intervene swiftly.
Thanks to this solution, the patients of Polaris Medical can move freely around the hospital during their stay, take a walk in the garden, visit community rooms – they no longer have to be permanently bedridden. At the same time, they can feel completely safe and confident that they will be taken care of immediately if something happens.
This real-time solution was entirely implemented by Telekom Romania, which is the only provider in the country offering professional equipment and expert consultancy. The single-network solution is also more cost-effective to operate and run compared to several networks being linked together. Additional services include fixed and mobile telephony as well as PBX equipment (a telephone system within an enterprise that switches calls between enterprise users on local lines while allowing all users to share a certain number of external phone lines), a Wi-Fi connection with separate connectivity for patients and medical staff.


Last night I went to hear Bach's St John Passion at St Paul's Cathedral.
The cathedral is not the best acoustic environment for it, to be honest: there's a very long echo and the sound just gets incredibly muddy. Bach is better, I think, with some clarity.
who makes an end of all our weeping.
Sleep well, and on his breast sleep well.
Rest well and bring me, too, to rest!
I definitely like "rest" as being closer to "ruht" than "sleep" is, and "rest in God's safekeeping" seems to basically be made up. But the second translation is pretty awkward as English verse goes. I've not studied German so I can't nitpick too much, and I'm a poor translator in any case, but I would like something faithful both to the meaning of the words and the metrical form.
Despite these imperfections I was thoroughly glad I went. This movement echoed in my head as I cycled home, and will probably stay with me the rest of the week.

Shed Hunter Injured, Grizzly Bear Killed in Western Wyoming

A man hunting for shed antlers east of Dubois was injured Saturday in what wildlife managers described as a surprise encounter with a grizzly bear.
The man, who was not identified in a statement Monday from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, was taken to a hospital for treatment. His injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.
Officials say the man encountered a female grizzly bear with yearling offspring. The adult female bear was killed during the incident, which is under investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The incident occurred in the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission's Kirk Inberg/Kevin Roy Wildlife Habitat Management Area. State wildlife officials plan no further management actions, and say no bears were present when investigators arrived at the site of the attack.
"Our thoughts are with the individual who was injured, and we wish him a full and speedy recovery," Jason Hunter, Lander regional wildlife supervisor for the department, said in Monday's statement.
The man who was injured over the weekend is the second person this month to be hurt after a surprise encounter with a grizzly bear. The first incident occurred May 1 near Cody.
"Even those who are very comfortable and savvy in the outdoors can be surprised by a bear," Hunter added, encouraging anyone spending time in bear habitat to remain alert.

An overview of items that must be considered for any business crisis management plan.
All organizations should have a crisis management policy which is at the same level of importance as the mission statement and business plan. A proper crisis management policy can rapidly restore normality and confidence for workers in the organization. It also provides a good source of PR material for the media.
Is It A Crisis In The First Place?
dependent on the level of authority given.
It is not easy to handle a crisis if you are not aware of the all the facts. If your role is a leader, you have to be detached from the emotional side of the crisis and rationally take stock of how to move on. Again, this is not as easy as it sounds as you may have longtime colleagues who are involved in this crisis.
It is important to be able to meet up with the relevant team to discuss about the situation. This is to ensure that the team is able to analyse and make a united stand about handling this crisis. This team should also comprise of the authorities, if the crisis is serious.
You must construct a timeline and ensure that each process scenario is highlighted. This practice will be a check to prevent your team from spending too much time in one aspect of handling the crisis.
Is there an organizational situational manual that you can use for this situation? Are you able to recollect the tips that were given to you when you participated in a mock drill?
You should get external experts to access the situation if the crisis is totally unanticipated. However, you must have had a close-door meeting with your inner circle. This is essential, as you do not want to unnecessarily reveal confidential information to external parties.
It is important to prepare a press kit-which provides a full detailed report about the crisis. If you are comfortable to conduct a press interview, you have to ensure that you have the full details first.
You have to ensure that your communication style is in sync with the crisis. Remember to be forthcoming with reliable information and try not to speculate. This will also ensure that the victims' immediate families do not overly worry. It will also not help if you come across as very emotional in the media as you want to communicate that your organization has everything under control.
If the crisis involves the loss of lives, it is not unthinkable that your credibility and organisation's reputation is put into question. Assuming that the crisis was beyond your organisation's control, you have to stick to your best judgement and not be led into a debate that may open your organisation to possible legal action.
