God, Haeleigh [at Wrightstown] is outstanding!!! She found problem areas I didn't know that I had! Have made several more appointments with her. She liked that I was a 'challenge'. Great massage therapist!!!!
I just had my first deep tissue massage by Cassandra at Wrightstown and she was amazing! I've suffered with sciatica for over a decade and have chronic agitation and throbbing dull pain on my right side down to my ankle. Cassandra knew instantly where to work on. I left with no pain and the dull throbs were completely gone! My hour with Cassandra was better than any other massage, Dr., physical therapist, and chiropractic I've gone to! Thank you Cassandra!!!
I had never felt that massages were helpful to me in the past. However, I had gotten to the point that I needed some relief from my constant pain. Then I found Charlotte [at Rubs on Wilmot]! She is slowly chipping away at years of accumulated stress in my upper back and shoulders. After each massage, I can feel the difference in the tightness in my shoulders. She is great!
My husband & I just had our 1st couples massage. Kate and Charlotte [at Wilmot] were awesome! My husband is already planning his next visit! Staff and environment is great! Would definitely recommend anyone looking for spa treatment to make an appointment.
I have gone to Ravee [at Wilmot] over and over again. She is hands down the best there is! In the short amount of time in there, she gets to know your body on a completely different level and works her magic. Best experience ever!!!!
Kimberly [at Oracle] is one of the best at repairing your shoulders, neck, and hips. She is an angel with healing hands. I will recommend her to friends and family.
I have been going to Rub's for years now and the experience has been nothing but wonderful. After coming out of the hospital and a couple of weeks in rehab they got me back in shape. The experience has been made easy because of the staff. Melissa and the rest of the staff have always been very friendly & professional. I plan to continue to go every other week.
I attended Rubs quite often in 2007 when I was with the Guard assisting border patrol. I had a great massage therapist named Jenn. I am in Georgia now and I have had massages at several other massage facilities and none of them have given me close to the relief or service I had at Rubs.
We've been coming into Rubs regularly. There are many different therapists, so we've been able to try different sessions with different therapists to find the exact experience that we are looking for. The staff is always extremely friendly and accommodating. We always have good experiences at Rubs.
Come in tight, walk out loose!
My favorite part of any week is when I come to RUBS for a massage. Everyone is so pleasant, efficient, and caring above all. What a difference an hour makes! Go in like Sandpaper and come out like Silk!

Just one season of high school football increases the risks of brain injury.
You have probably already heard about the correlation between contact sports and brain injury, but perhaps you didn't quite realize just how strong this correlation is. A study by Dr. Joseph Maldijan from UT Southwestern showed that one season of high school football alone was enough to cause physiological changes in the brain.
In the study, two small groups of high school football players were monitored over the course of a season. Their helmets were equipped with sensors which could measure the number and level of impacts to the head. Moreover all players were given preseason brain MRI scans and cognitive testing and then received the same testing postseason. This, combined with Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI), revealed physiological and functional differences in preseason and postseason results.
"All this data is pointing to the same thing — that is that one season of football has an effect on the brain". Said Dr. Maldijan about the study.
As a sport with one of the highest levels of contact (including contact to the head), science is showing how such sports can contribute to brain injury. Fortunately, catastrophic brain injuries are relatively rare, even in football; however, they do sometimes occur.
Unfortunately, the correlation between football and brain injuries is not a new one, which is why the NFL set up the NFL Head, Neck, and Spine Committee in the 1990s. The Committee is focused on the neurological health of players and aims to reduce the incidence. And severity of brain (as well as neck and spine) injuries in the sport.

This gives us an upper bound on the time elapsed between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight of about a year. Most people estimate this to be about six to nine months.Directed by Christopher Nolan.

His official website announced: "It is with profound.Director Christopher Nolan has claimed The Dark Knight Rises, the final part in his DC Comic-based trilogy, will be his last. But Michael Caine, who plays butler Alfred, has not ruled out starring.
I thought the Dark Knight was good, but suffered from an identity crisis. It didn't know if it was a comic book movie or a serious and gritty interpretation of a comic. With the Dark Knight Rises, Nolan has finally decided how he wants to portray the Bat. With bleak and extremely serious undertones and a stubborn grimness that doesn't let go. Now, ordinarily I wouldn't have a problem with that.
The Dark Knight Rises shows us that only hope can conquer evil, but only when hope's object is true and good. Eight years after the Joker broke Harvey Dent, Gotham enjoys a new golden age. Crime is almost non-existent, and the city prospers. But no one knows that this peace and prosperity are built on a lie. Only Commissioner Gordon and the Batman know that Harvey is not the hero everyone.

The Dark Knight Rises Download For Indian Movie Lovers.
After seeing the Dark Knight Rises the first time in the cinema, I rated it one and a half stars and felt it to be a deeply flawed film. Well, not to my surprise, I still feel the same after this rewatch. I won't rehash my old review as all I have to say on the film is said there and many others have already worded their problems with this film much better than I ever could. What did struck.
In conclusion I feel The Dark Knight Rises is a well made blockbuster and a fitting end to the best trilogy of all time. Is it a masterpiece of course not, but it is a quality film overall in my opinion and I enjoyed every minute of it. Block or Report.
The Dark Knight was avidly dark, sinister and overall a not so happy movie, but due to this a masterpiece of it's own, different than the typical superhero action flick. The Dark Knight Rises still has something of this vibe, but it's made in a way that anyone in the family would enjoy it. It has a lot to keep you entertained with, and is probably the perfect ending to the trilogy. Give it a.

The Diamondbacks' offense could be a concern heading into the season.
Most are expecting the Diamondbacks to be challenged to score runs in the post-Paul Goldschmidt era. They have lived up to those expectations through the bulk of the exhibition season.
The Diamondbacks entered Friday with 120 runs scored in 27 games. No Cactus League team had scored fewer runs other than the Seattle Mariners (113 runs) and Oakland Athletics (92), who had played 21 and 19 games, respectively, a shorter schedule due to their season-opening series in Japan.
Spring training stats, of course, often are not predictive for a variety of reasons. For one, starters usually only get get two or three at-bats per game for the first few weeks of camp. Also, hitters tend to need a handful of at-bats before they feel comfortable and sometimes they use spring training games as a testing ground to work on mechanical adjustments or merely to get used to seeing pitches.
All that said, for a team that faces offensive questions entering the year, the performance of several of its top hitters hasn't done much to ease concerns. Left fielder David Peralta entered Friday with a .194 average and no home runs. First baseman Jake Lamb (.214, no homers), center fielder/second baseman Ketel Marte (.250, no homers) and third baseman Eduardo Escobar (.205, one home run) also are having sluggish springs.
Manager Torey Lovullo said he remains optimistic, in part, because of the work and progress he said he has seen his hitters make this spring.
"I'm not panicked about it because I know how spring training goes," Lovullo said. "I think when the switch goes on and they crank it up and show what they can do, I think it might be a little bit of a different story. That's obviously what I'm hoping for.
Lovullo again changed his tune on whether he plans to give right-hander Zack Greinke a personal catcher this season.
When camp began, Lovullo said he planned to have Greinke match up with one catcher. That would be consistent with the way the Diamondbacks have handled Greinke each of his three seasons with the team. Welington Castillo caught him in 2016 and Jeff Mathis has had the honor the past two years.
Lovullo briefly shifted gears in late February after Greinke suggested to reporters he would be open to throwing to different catchers depending on matchups. But, within days, Lovullo went back to saying he wanted Greinke to throw to a single catcher, a line of thinking he was committed to as recently as Monday.
But on Friday Lovullo said he "possibly" is thinking about playing matchups again.
Catcher Caleb Joseph was optioned to Triple-A Reno, leaving the Diamondbacks with three catchers on their roster: Carson Kelly, Alex Avila and John Ryan Murphy. It's unclear if the Diamondbacks will carry three catchers to start the season.
Infielder Juniel Querecuto and outfielder Matt Szczur were reassigned to minor league camp.
Left-hander T.J. McFarland is scheduled to throw off the mound on Saturday for the first time since he was shut down three weeks ago with shoulder tightness.
Lovullo said he and General Manager Mike Hazen "started some discussions" on the club's closer decision. "I let him know what was on my mind," Lovullo said. "I think we'll compare some notes here in the next couple of days." The team is deciding between Archie Bradley, Greg Holland and Yoshihisa Hirano. Holland and Hirano threw well in minor league games on Friday, Lovullo said.

EIB: the climate bank
In recent weeks, the debate has escalated in France: Europe must commit to combating climate change and the best way to do this would be to create a climate bank. This proposal is supported ardently and with conviction by two men in particular: the climatologist Jean Jouzel and the economist Pierre Larrouturou, co-authors of the book "Finance, Climat : Réveillez-vous !" ("Climate: Wake Up!").
They're right: the European Union fulfils its role when it sets about tackling climate change and helping its Member States to do so. EIB Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle thus met Pierre Larrouturou on Friday 1 February for a frank discussion on this key issue for our future.
This meeting provided an opportunity to reiterate that the EIB has made climate action one of its key areas of activity. Ten years ago, the Bank played a pioneering role on the green bond market by issuing the world's first "Climate Awareness Bond" (CAB). It currently dedicates at least 25% of its total investment to combating climate change. The EIB is the biggest financier of climate-related investment amongst all multilateral lenders worldwide. And its ambitions are particularly high. In keeping with the commitments made under the Paris Agreement (COP 21), the EIB will invest USD 100 billion in this field by 2020, which will reduce the risks for private investors and prompt greater commitment from them too.
Ambroise Fayolle specifically emphasised the concrete results of these billions. In Cestas in the Gironde department, the EIB has co-financed Europe's biggest photovoltaic power plant. It has also financed nearly all the tram and metro networks in France's cities. Furthermore, the EIB is supporting the energy transition of private and public buildings by funding third-party financing companies, which then provide loans accessible to individuals to refurbish their houses and apartments. Contracts already signed are reducing the cost of thermal refurbishments for more than 20 000 households in France. One of the best examples is SPEE in Hauts-de-France which received a EUR 23.5 million loan in 2015 to enable it to lend on attractive terms to individuals refurbishing their homes. The results are spectacular: with a monthly credit refund of EUR 147, households saved around EUR 100 in energy bills each month, not to mention the value added to their property.
In the end, following a lively exchange, Pierre Larrouturou and Ambroise Fayolle agreed on one observation and objective: Europe is already doing a lot, but it can – and must! – do even more. "That is our goal at the EIB", concluded the Vice-President.

A new party is pointless without passion
We need not just a Labour split but a realignment of the centre, with its thinking inspired by Attlee and Lloyd George
Jeremy Corbyn has united the Labour Party on one thing. The real fight starts on June 9. Once Mr Corbyn has completed his tour of seats with a large Labour membership and once the electorate has dispatched Labour, the real fight, the latest leadership contest, will have to begin. The way to think about it is to take three visits to a crucible of British politics — Limehouse, in the old London docks.
The first visit is the most recent and, for Labour MPs, the most infamous. In January 1981, Roy Jenkins, David Owen, Shirley Williams and Bill Rodgers had the courage to split the Labour Party and walk away. It was a chaotic event held near Dr Owen's home in Limehouse. Matthew Oakeshott, later…

Benjamin West
Birth Place : Springfield, Pennsylvania, United States of America
Died On : March 11, 1820
Zodiac Sign : Libra
Benjamin West Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Benjamin West was born on October 10, 1738. He was a history painter. He was the second person to become President of the Royal Academy in London. He died on March 11, 1820, at the age of eighty one.
Benjamin West was born on October 10, 1738, in Springfield in Pennsylvania. He was born to an innkeeper and his wife. Later, his family moved to Newtown Square in Pennsylvania. When he was growing up, Native Americans played a significant role in teaching him how to make paint by mixing clay from the river bank with bear grease in a pot. He did not have an excellent education because even in his adulthood he could not spell simple words.
Benjamin West's career as a painter started while he was still young. From 1746 to 1759, he mostly painted portraits in Pennsylvania. In 1756, he travelled to Lancaster and was encouraged to paint 'Death of Socrates' by his patron William Henry. His painting of 'Death of Socrates' became popular as was deemed unique from the original one. Dr. William Smith was intrigued by Benjamin's painting that he decided to become his patron.
William educated Benjamin and gave him connections to wealthy and politically connected persons who lived in Pennsylvania. Benjamin later met painter John Wollaston who taught him his techniques of painting. He then met Benjamin Franklin, and they became good friends. He later painted a portrait of Benjamin.
In 1760, Benjamin West travelled to Italy with painter Scott William Patoun where he conducted a grand tour. He copied the works of Italian painters such as Raphael and Titian. In 1763, he travelled to England where he was introduced to Richard Wilson. In England, he painted 'Angelica and Medora' and the portrait of General Monckton. In 1766, he painted an altarpiece for St. Stephen Walbrook. He later painted 'The Continence of Scipio' and 'Orestes and Pylades' which became famous.
In England, he was referred to as the 'American Raphael.' In 1772, he became a historical painter to the King's Court. At the court, he painted a lot of portraits including nine portraits of the members of the royal family. In 1791, he became the Surveyor of the King's Pictures; he held the position until his death. Other paintings he painted include 'The Death of General Wolfe,' 'The Battle of the Boyne' and 'The Death of Nelson' among others.
In 1792, Benjamin West was appointed the President of the Royal Academy. In 1805, he resigned from the post and was replaced by James Wyatt. In 1806, he was elected President again, a position he held until his death. Pupils who studied under him included Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully, Abraham Delanoy, John Green, Charles Wilson Peale, Samuel Morse, and Ralph Eleaser Whiteside Earl among others.
Personal Life and Death
In 1765, Benjamin West married Elizabeth Shewell at St. Martin in the Fields. They had children together. Benjamin West passed away on March 11, 1820, at his home in Newman Street in London. His remains were buried in St. Paul's Cathedral.

Earlier this month, I wrote The Best Bible App for iPhone and iPad...by Far, explaining that I had found in Olive Tree's BibleReader, a really powerful Bible study tool. I've been using it consistently for about three weeks so far and have some tips to share.
Since this is Practical iStuff, I don't really talk about games much. However, the concept of gamification, applying gaming techniques for real-world uses, is an interesting one. Using gaming motivators like accumulating points, earning achievements, and "leveling up" are greatly practical when applied to things like fitness. If you are like me, a person for whom exercise can be a tedious, er..."exercise", any additional motivation is good.
I was looking for a workout tracker for my iPhone that worked well for weight-lifting and tried several before discovering Fitocracy, an app that advertises itself as a "fitness social network. I have yet to tap into it's social potential, mostly because no one I know is on it yet, but I have been using it's game-like aspects as a motivator. Scoring points, leveling up, and completing quests help me want to do more. If nothing else, it encourages me to take the time to track my exercises.
I've had three Bible apps on my iPhone for quite a while: YouVersion, ESV Bible, and The Blue Letter Bible. All have had their strengths. YouVersion is great for Bible reading plans and I still use it for that. ESV Bible had page navigation, opting for scrolling instead of a book-like page turning. (I prefer the scrolling for passage placement.) The Blue Letter Bible had a lot of resources like commentaries but was a less satisfying user experience, where the screen controls would never get out of the way of reading.
Although these were all good, they still lacked something. If I was going to a Bible on an iOS device, I needed one that worked really well for serious Study, with better ways of marking up passages and taking notes. The others I had used only allowed me to highlight or make notes on a verse at a time, not part of a verse.
I found one by accident in Olive Tree's BibleReader. I knew of it but had looked at the prices of Bibles for it and found them to be expensive. When they put the ESV Bible (the actual Bible version, not to be confused with the app) on sale for free for Easter, I downloaded it and tried it. I was immediately impressed.

My eldest son has been having piano lessons with Diane since he was 4 years old and has progressed tremendously and thanks to her encouragement happily plays in front of hundreds of people! His younger brother recently began drumming lessons with one of Diane's capable tutors and is loving every minute!
I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of Diane's music teaching skills. Both my son and daughter have benefited greatly from the classes that they attend each week. I would have no hesitation in recommending Diane to anyone who wants to develop and improve their musical skills.
My son Kaden has been attending guitar lessons with Diane Mitchell Music School for 4 years now and loves it. He enjoys the fun and interaction of the group lessons and is making real progress through the 1 on 1 lessons. Diane always makes learning fun for the kids.
Kaden loves working towards the end of the year show when all the kids get to perform in front of a live audience. Both Kaden and myself would highly recommend the Diane Mitchell Music School.
Both of my children have been coming to classes for over 6 months now. My daughter is making great progress in her guitar class , while my 6 year old son is enjoying his junior musicianship class too. The tutors in both of their classes are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable while being patient with them and ensuring that the classes remain fun. Maintaining the fun element of the class is important to keep them coming back as they can make progress and still enjoy themselves.
I have recently started drum lessons with Iain, and just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the school, in general, and Iain's approach, in particular. The school is a great resource for anyone wanting to try their hand at a new musical instrument. As a dad of three, my time is extremely limited, and I really appreciated your flexible approach towards accommodating me.
Prior to my first lesson, Iain contacted me in order to get an idea of what I was looking to achieve and how he could help me do this. Iain was very easy to talk to, and spent time finding out about the music I liked. During my first lesson, Iain wasted no time in getting me behind the drum kit. He made things fun and relevant, by using examples of drum beats from songs I liked. As a complete beginner, at the age of 40, I was given confidence by Iain's positive approach. Even when I was playing like a drunk octopus, he always found a good point to focus on.

West Morris Juniors Inaugural Kentucky Derby Outing Raises More Than $8,000 for Local Programs
By new_view_media on May 23, 2016 No Comment
The West Morris Junior Woman's Club (WMJWC) "Day at the Derby" held on Sat., May 7, at Tranquility Farms in Chester brought more than 75 derby-goers who donned their bow ties and big hats to watch live coverage of "the most exciting two minutes in sports" to raise funds for a wonderful cause. Guests had a chance to win amazing raffle baskets, and bid on unique silent auction items and the "winning horse," all while noshing on southern fare complete with signature mint juleps.
In addition to all the fun that was had, WMJWC's Day at the Derby raised more than $8,000. This event is the organization's biggest fundraiser of the year and proceeds from the event will go to serve the community through the many programs the club hosts each year including the Middle School Spelling Bee, the Mendham Seniors St. Patrick's Day lunch, high school and middle school scholarships, Mendham Seniors Luncheon, Halloween Poster Contest, and the Thanksgiving Food Drive.
This year, Juniors will also donate a portion of proceeds from the event to The Valerie Fund's Thomas J. Rice Grief Support Program. This program offers professional grief support to parents who have lost a child to cancer or a blood disorder.
"Day at the Derby replaced our much loved Taste of the Season Wine fundraiser. We were happy the community embraced this new theme and stepped up to support our cause through the raffle basket donations and sponsorships," said WMJWC co-president Anne Bergeron. "It's great to be part of a community that supports one another. We are grateful for the local business support. With their help, we are able to continue our mission to sponsor charitable, educational and civic activities in our community."
The club would like to thank all of the wonderful sponsors who made the event possible.
The West Morris Junior Woman's Club (WMJWC) is a service organization formed by and for the young women of the West Morris area that has sponsored charitable, educational and civic activities in the surrounding communities since it was founded in 1957.

Western Red Cedar has a beautiful red tinge along with a light-colored hue, which adds a nice aesthetic quality to your commercial fence as it ages to gray over time. Although this wood is strong, it is still soft enough for various fence styles, which is why it is often used with intricate, lattice designs.
This wood is sometimes stained and sealed to help maintain its appearance over time.
A commercial cedar wood fence is an affordable option compared to other lower maintenance materials.
We recommend using this wood when you want latticework or a distinctive pattern at the top of the fence for added height and / or decoration.
Wood fence repairs are usually less complex since any loose or damaged boards can be replaced individually instead of the whole panel.
Steel posts can be used to upgrade wood fences in high wind or wet areas.
Add the finishing touch to your fence design with a board top and / or post top design.
Matching Western Red Cedar walk gates and double drive gates are available to match most styles, sizes, and heights and include standard hinges and latch.
Upgrade the look of your gate with a different style of hardware and / or latches.
Wood fences need ongoing maintenance in order to maintain their appearance as they age. Learn more on how to care for a wood fence as well as learn more about how wood ages.
The product line is warrantied to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal and proper usage for three years from the date of installation. Learn more about our warranties.
Great experience. Job was done extremely well.


Grace Kelly was not the first American blue-blood to marry Monegasque royalty. And she was Jewish marrying two blue-bloods in the era of the Dreyfus affair.
According to her Wikipedia article, "Her first husband was the Duke de Richelieu and one of the titles of her second husband was the Duke de Mazarin; she was thus unique in bearing the titles of both Cardinal Richelieu and Cardinal Mazarin...She brought a strong business acumen, showing an understanding far beyond her years. Having helped put her husband's principality on a sound financial footing, she would devote her energies to making Monaco one of Europe's great cultural centers with its opera, theater, and the ballet under the direction of the famed Russian impresario, Sergei Diaghilev."

Restatements (excerpt of the Revised Style Manual approved by the ALI Council in January 2015)
The American Law Institute | October 30, 2017 | Inside The ALI
1. Restatements are primarily addressed to courts. They aim at clear formulations of common law and its statutory elements or variations and reflect the law as it presently stands or might appropriately be stated by a court.
a. Nature of a Restatement.Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines the verb "restate" as "to state again or in a new form" [emphasis added]. This definition neatly captures the central tension between the two impulses at the heart of the Restatement process from the beginning, the impulse to recapitulate the law as it presently exists and the impulse to reformulate it, thereby rendering it clearer and more coherent while subtly transforming it in the process.
The law of the Restatements is generally common law, the law developed and articulated by judges in the course of deciding specific cases. For the most part Restatements thus assume a body of shared doctrine enabling courts to render their judgments in a consistent and reasonably predictable manner. In the view of the Institute's founders, however, the underlying principles of the common law had become obscured by the ever-growing mass of decisions in the many different jurisdictions, state and federal, within the United States. The 1923 report suggested that, in contrast, the Restatements were to be at once "analytical, critical and constructive." In seeing each subject clearly and as a whole, they would discern the underlying principles that gave it coherence and thus restore the unity of the common law as properly apprehended.
Unlike the episodic occasions for judicial formulations presented by particular cases, however, Restatements scan an entire legal field and render it intelligible by a precise use of legal terms to which a body reasonably representative of the legal profession, The American Law Institute, has ultimately agreed. Restatements—"analytical, critical and constructive"— accordingly resemble codifications more than mere compilations of the pronouncements of judges. The Institute's founders envisioned a Restatement's black-letter statement of legal rules as being "made with the care and precision of a well-drawn statute." They cautioned, however, that "a statutory form might be understood to imply a lack of flexibility in the application of the principle, a result which is not intended." Although Restatements are expected to aspire toward the precision of statutory language, they are also intended to reflect the flexibility and capacity for development and growth of the common law. They are therefore phrased not in the mandatory terms of a statute but in the descriptive terms of a judge announcing the law to be applied in a given case.
A Restatement thus assumes the perspective of a common-law court, attentive to and respectful of precedent, but not bound by precedent that is inappropriate or inconsistent with the law as a whole. Faced with such precedent, an Institute Reporter is not compelled to adhere to what Herbert Wechsler called "a preponderating balance of authority" but is instead expected to propose the better rule and provide the rationale for choosing it. A significant contribution of the Restatements has also been anticipation of the direction in which the law is tending and expression of that development in a manner consistent with previously established principles.
The Restatement process contains four principal elements. The first is to ascertain the nature of the majority rule. If most courts faced with an issue have resolved it in a particular way, that is obviously important to the inquiry. The second step is to ascertain trends in the law. If 30 jurisdictions have gone one way, but the 20 jurisdictions to look at the issue most recently went the other way, or refined their prior adherence to the majority rule, that is obviously important as well. Perhaps the majority rule is now widely regarded as outmoded or undesirable. If Restatements were not to pay attention to trends, the ALI would be a roadblock to change, rather than a "law reform" organization. A third step is to determine what specific rule fits best with the broader body of law and therefore leads to more coherence in the law. And the fourth step is to ascertain the relative desirability of competing rules. Here social-science evidence and empirical analysis can be helpful.
A Restatement consists of an appropriate mix of these four elements, with the relative weighing of these considerations being art and not science. The Institute, however, needs to be clear about what it is doing. For example, if a Restatement declines to follow the majority rule, it should say so explicitly and explain why.
An excellent common-law judge is engaged in exactly the same sort of inquiry. In the words of Professor Wechsler, which are quoted on the wall of the conference room in the ALI headquarters in Philadelphia:
We should feel obliged in our deliberations to give weight to all of the considerations that the courts, under a proper view of the judicial function, deem it right to weigh in theirs.
But in the quest to determine the best rule, what a Restatement can do that a busy common-law judge, however distinguished, cannot is engage the best minds in the profession over an extended period of time, with access to extensive research, testing rules against disparate fact patterns in many jurisdictions.
Like a Restatement, the common law is not static. But for both a Restatement and the common law the change is accretional. Wild swings are inconsistent with the work of both a common-law judge and a Restatement. And while views of which competing rules lead to more desirable outcomes should play a role in both inquiries, the choices generally are constrained by the need to find support in sources of law.
An unelected body like The American Law Institute has limited competence and no special authority to make major innovations in matters of public policy. Its authority derives rather from its competence in drafting precise and internally consistent articulations of law. The goals envisioned for the Restatement process by the Institute's founders remain pertinent today:
It will operate to produce agreement on the fundamental principles of the common law, give precision to use of legal terms, and make the law more uniform throughout the country. Such a restatement will also effect changes in the law, which it is proper for an organization of lawyers to promote and which make the law better adapted to the needs of life. [emphasis added]

Der Langenbach, auch Backesbach genannt, ist ein 3,4 km langer, nordwestlicher und orographisch linker Zufluss des Eichelbachs im Mittelgebirge Taunus. Er verläuft im hessischen Hochtaunuskreis.

Verlauf
Der Langenbach entspringt im Östlichen Hintertaunus innerhalb des Naturparks Taunus. Seine Quelle befindet sich auf dem Westhang des Talkessels von Hasselbach – etwa 400 m nordwestlich vom Gipfel des Schinnkopfs (), dem Nordostausläufer des Kuhbetts ().

Anfangs fließt der gänzlich im Naturpark Taunus gelegene Langenbach ostwärts in das Dorf Hasselbach, um sich dort etwa nach Süden zu wenden und entlang der Landesstraße 3337 zu verlaufen. Im Dorf, wo der Bach in einem kleinen Abschnitt verrohrt ist, passiert er das Kulturforum Hochtaunus (ehemals Backes), woher die Hasselbacher Bezeichnung Backesbach stammt. Weiter fließt er durch den Entenpark und am Westrand der Ortslage entlang. Nahe dem südlichen Ortsende, wo sich der Talkessel öffnet, mündet ein vom Berg Kuhbett kommender Bach (auch Langenbach genannt) ein, wonach der (eigentliche) Langenbach den Margarethenhof passiert. Fortan fließt der Bach durch das enge Langenbachtal in östlichen Richtungen entlang der Landesstraße 3030, wo linksseitig der Schneebach (benannt nach der Wüstung Schneebach) einmündet. In diesem Talzug befindet sich am Bach die Rumpenmühle, wo ein weiteres Fließgewässer, Lembach einmündet.

Etwa 800 Bachmeter unterhalb der Rumpenmühle mündet der Langenbach etwa westlich vom Flurstück Wehrholz in den dort von Südwesten kommenden Eichelbach, der 950 Bachmeter weiter nordöstlich die Weil speist.

Q: Python the last for loop in my code is always ignored I have a handful of for loops currently to test various things, and for some reason whatever for loop is the last one in the code, it is always ignored. I can rearrange the loops however I like, but the last loop is always ignored. And I have no idea why. There are two more loops before the code snippet but they are what create docsplit.
docsplit is a list of words taken from a document:
for word in docsplit:
    if "http" in word or "HTTP" in word or "Http" in word:
        #if it isn't already in the list
        docsplit.remove(word)

for word in docsplit:
    if "@" in word:
        docsplit.remove(word)

for word in docsplit:
    if "+1" in word:
        docsplit.remove(word)
    #find any websites in docsplit

#remove any strings that have a regex like XXX-XXXX or XXX-XXXX-XXXX
for word in docsplit:
    if re.search(r'\d{3}-\d{4}', word):
        docsplit.remove(word)

#remove any strings that have a regex like (XXX)
for word in docsplit:
    if re.search(r"\(\d{3}\)", word):
        docsplit.remove(word)

A: Use list comprehension, instead of changing the list while iterating over it (which is a bad practice):
import re
docsplit = ['http', '123-4567', 'foo']

docsplit = [word for word in docsplit if
            not ("http" in word or "HTTP" in word or "Http" in word)
            and not "@" in word
            and not "+1" in word
            and not re.search(r'\d{3}-\d{4}', word)
            and not re.search(r"\(\d{3}\)", word)
            ]

print(docsplit)

Seriously BT?
I was having trouble accessing my Burlington Telecom account online to pay my bill, and I don't seem to have any paper bills for the last couple of months, so I filled out their online "contact us" email form, and instead of emailing me back- they called my wife at home and talked to her. What is that? I don't even think I left my phone number on the contact form. I left my email. If I write to them, they should write back to me. Am I wrong?

The Irony of Fate
When I was a kid my greatest fear was getting nuked by the Soviet Union. They used to blare the air raid sirens as a weekly test at the Staniford Road fire station when I was a toddler. It scared the shit out of me. The cold war was strong stuff. Even as late as my freshman year of high school I remember being paranoid about Nicaragua becoming the latest domino to fall to the Soviet Empire.
My wife tells me that when she was a kid in the Soviet Union, her greatest fear was of getting nuked my America. As a very small child she waved the red flag at parades.
When the Soviet Union, which was supposed to be godless, fell apart, my wife's city of Baku Azerbaijan was besieged by roving gangs of young Muslim men intolerant of her family's Christian religion and ethnic Armenian heritage. Her family had to flee. First to Armenia, then Russia. Then here to Burlington.
Nearly six years ago now, I placed an ad seeking a roommate in the Seven Days classifieds. My wife took the apartment, and we were engaged within three days. Her family watches this old Russian movie called "The Irony of Fate" at Christmas time.
The irony of fate. You can't make this stuff up.
The Health Care Vote
The Tide of History
Any federal public option would presumably be recognized nationwide, which would be a tremendous advantage in a system where one state's private or public policies might not be recognized in a different state. Without to mobility of Medicare, there would probably be fewer retirees in Florida.
Any viable, low-cost public option will of course destroy all but a few exclusive private insurers with astronomical rates covering things like elective rhinoplasty. But that's fine. That's optimal. The more people in the system the lower the percentage dedicated to administration.
Republicans know people will vote with their feet en masse for the public option. Many people would do so automatically having no other prospects of health coverage now. And they are right to say the government is an unfair competitor in the "health marketplace." But that's fine because "Health Care" is not a commodity like gold or sugar. There is no dollar value for a human life. It's the private insurers who attempt to assign a dollar value when they deny coverage for "pre-existing conditions" and many other made-up reasons.
The number of Americans who desperately need the public option to pass (whether some of those dummies know it or not) is in the range of several scores million.
If I were a senate Republican I would be seriously considering the tide of history and my own legacy in it. To kill the public option is to literally kill any number of Americans who will die without it.
If we don't control costs America will decline. There's two ways to control costs. We could go with the public option, or start turning people away at gunpoint at emergency rooms.
Some things are not about money. It's a moral responsibility to care for the sick. It's very immature and self-defeating for public policy not to recognize that.
Barack Obama is Smarter Than You
"What went wrong with the president's sales job on health care?"
"Obama sold us out on the public option!"
"Why is he praising Chuck Grassley?!"
"Why is single payer off the table?!"
Blah blah blah. Will you people relax? Obama knows what he's doing.
You want him to denounce and reject? Fine.
Tyranny on The Caspian
It's very repressive to investigate people because of preferences in pop music. It's repressive and in this case it's also discriminatory. Thank you Dr. Maddow for reporting this last night.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
MADDOW: In this country, we have "American Idol," and its many spinoffs like "So You Think You Can Dance" and "America's Got Talent" and "Nashville Star," et cetera. In Europe, they have "Eurovision" which, believe it or not, is a way bigger deal.
"Eurovision's" been broadcast every May since 1956. It's one of the longest running TV programs of all time. Each of 43 countries picks a musical act to represent that country and then millions of people vote for the winner. We have "Eurovision" to thank or blame, depending on your perspective, for Abba, for Celine Dion, for Julio Iglesias, for Cliff Richard and even for the poor river dance who can't move their arms.
Although only Europe participates, "Eurovision" has gained fans and grown its audience worldwide because it frankly is an Olympic-grade display of truly over-the-top, "I can't believe this is really happening" kitsch.
But there's no news about this year's Eurovision contest that is way darker than your usual, you know, Belgium versus Holland, sequins versus satin shriek-off. Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a war 15 years ago over a region called Nagorno-Karabakh - don't worry, there's no spelling test here.
The important point is that both countries are still really sore about it. And they're right on top of each other and there's an Azerbaijan enclave right in the middle of Armenia, everything that is a sore issue between these two.
In the "Eurovision" contest this year, both of these countries did pretty well. Azerbaijan came in third. Armenia came in 10th. Here's Armenia from this year.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Now, you see why I'm into this. All right. This was the Azerbaijan entry.
MADDOW: So good. Sorry. Which of those would you vote for? Hard to choose. But the BBC reports today that now, three months after "Eurovision" - because remember, it happens in May, police in Azerbaijan have called in for questioning people who live in Azerbaijan but who voted for Armenia, the country's archrival.
Apparently, they know for sure somehow that 43 people in Azerbaijan voted for the dreaded Armenians. You vote by text message. And the Azerbaijani national security ministry has been calling people who voted for Armenia in for questioning.
The national security ministry has confirmed that they've done this to Reuters. They have confirmed that they are questioning Azerbaijanis for the crime of voting for the wrong song, which is, of course, another reason why "Azerbaijani Idol" is going to stink.

Katy Weber's Prom Date
Katy Weber Abram was my date for the senior prom.
I just saw Lawrence O'Donnell sitting in on Hardball try to give Abram a hard time and get her to denounce Medicare as socialist. She did well not to bite, and he blew an opportunity to follow up on something she had just said which was incredible. That war is so common that it hadn't occurred to her to feel political about it. She said it seemed we were always having conflicts.
Incredible. The treasure and blood spent on war making is so much the background noise of existential hum in our country, as to not elicit a blip from this woman. She's obviously telling us the truth. War is normal. It's health care that's got her riled up.
But is it really? What do you think?
Eunice Kennedy
"Sister of John F. Kennedy dies." How does Ted Kennedy feel when he hears that? Did Joe have any other kids, or is Ted now the last? If he succumbs to brain cancer will Ted be remembered first as the brother of a president, or as a senator? I'm sure it's already been decided and written.
It's too bad I had to go straight back into my life after my trip to Armenia. I haven't had time to do the pure, immediate post journey things that would be ideal. A forenzinc documentation and duplication of every photo and video I took. A lot more writing about it while it's still fresh in my mind. Oragnizing and contacting my contacts there. That sort of thing.
Instead interrupting between Armenia and me now are Morning Joe, the unkempt people on Church Street. My job of course. And all the things about my regular life here in Burlington. And there is something different about everything now, almost as if everything has been replaced with an exact replica of itself. It's the same but different.

Gordons Dining Hall is good and all but sometimes there is a need for change or a slightly more romantic date spot than the booths next to the Flamingo Market. Although this spot is slightly more expensive than a meal swipe on the WisCard it truly will not disappoint you or your lucky date. Red Sushi is conveniently located just off of the square and a short walk down State Street on the corner of W. Washington Street and N. Henry Street. As soon as you walk in you will find a sleek Japanese themed spot for a unique but delightful spread of sushi and much more.
At Red Sushi the sushi is a huge hit and brings the biggest of crowds but if you're the kind of person to worry about eating raw fish don't be nervous the menu doesn't stop there. Red Sushi offers anything from Seaweed Salad, to Pork Short Rib or the delightful Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice. Coming from a frequent Red Sushi visitor and one to not hold back on the raw seafood, I strongly recommend going out on a limb and experimenting with a Firecracker or a Shrimp Tempura roll. With the plethora of options some more expensive than others there is something for everyone to find.
So with a big date night planned and a romantic dinner spot needed you may not want to count out Gordon Dining Hall but with Red Sushi just up the street, take the splurge and impress your date.

Bellway Secures $2M To Make Fiber Supplementation A Part Of Gen Z And Millennial Consumers' Regular Routines
Your fiber intake is probably far too low—and Max Dresse aims to do something about it.
The 29-year-old omnichannel prodigy who spearheaded Aloha's, HelloFresh's and Freshly's pivots from clicks to bricks has created Bellway, a natural supplement brand dedicated to making fiber a supplement staple for millennial and gen Z consumers, and secured $2 million to grow it online and offline. The funding is from Five Four Ventures, an incubation and venture capital firm spun out of Broadway Video Ventures, an arm of Lorne Michael's media company, and over 30 other undisclosed investors. Dresse is an SVP at Five Four Ventures, which previously backed contemporary furniture rental brand Fernish, cookware startup Caraway, and cannabis content and commerce destination Miss Grass.
"The average salad has only three grams of fiber, and we need 30 grams of fiber a day. We would have to eat 10 salads a day in order to get enough fiber. That's crazy," he says. "That's why 19 out of 20 people aren't getting enough fiber. We want to help you get your daily recommended amount of fiber." If even some of the 19 people not reaching their daily recommended amount of fiber close in on it through Bellway's supplements, it could spell huge sales for the brand. Dresse shares an estimate that the fiber dietary supplement market is projected to double from $4 billion in 2018 to $8 billion by 2026.
Bellway was incubated at Five Four Ventures, a venture firm that was among more than 30 investors funding the fiber supplement startup to the tune of $2 million.
"We incubated Bellway because we believe healthy fiber supplements can greatly improve everyone's diet and lifestyle," says David Birnbaum, managing partner at Five Four Ventures. "The fiber supplement market is a multibillion-dollar opportunity, yet the products currently dominating it don't speak to today's consumers, who are concerned about ingredient quality, and more and more live a mobile first, digital life. With Bellway, we're bringing a new approach to the transformative power of fiber supplements to the market."
As Dresse worked to place meal kit companies Freshly Hello and Fresh, and protein specialist Aloha, where he was director of retail, associate director of product innovation and director of business development, respectively, in chains such as Target, GNC, Wawa, Walgreens, H-E-B, Giant and Stop & Shop, he would repeatedly ask the retailers about areas on their floors that were stale. The fiber category came up again and again. He'd also gone on the Keto diet and dealt with constipation that's typical of it, prompting his doctor to recommend fiber supplements. Searching the available options, Dresse discovered most had sugar or artificial sweeteners.
"We want to own the fiber space, create this fiber movement and, ultimately, be the next generation of fiber."
"At some point, I realized the whole fiber shelf was kind of dead. When you think about it, there's only one leading brand: Metamucil. We jokingly call it 'grandma fiber.' It was invented in the 1930s and hasn't been updated since," he says. "So much has been updated—there are new glasses, new mattresses and new beauty products—but, in this area, there hasn't been an update. I couldn't believe it because of how much has been updated."
Dresse asserts Bellway doesn't attempt to directly undercut Procter & Gamble-owned Metumucil. Instead, it's zeroing in on younger customers not picking up Metumucil's products. Bellway doesn't replicate Metumucil's orange flavor. Rather, it sells comparatively envelope-pushing flavors lemon lime, raspberry lemon and mixed berry in tubs with 50 servings for $29.99 each. Bellway avoids aspartame and maltodextrin, sweeteners in Metamucil, and relies on fruits for its flavors. The brand not only ballyhoos digestive benefits, but promotes beauty benefits—clearer skin, for example—too. Bellway could stretch into a multiplicity of product formats: bars, pills, beverages and more are possibilities. Dresse says, "We want to own the fiber space, create this fiber movement and, ultimately, be the next generation of fiber."
Bellway CEO and Five Four Ventures SVP Max Dresse
He touts Bellway's organic psyllium, a form of fiber from the Plantago plant, as not causing people to feel bloated or immediately sprint to the bathroom. They stay on their "regular schedule," stresses Dresse. He continues, "There are so many trending supplement companies out there now, but the challenge with the supplement business is that, oftentimes, you don't realize a change until taking a supplement for a half a year. The beauty of fiber is that, you take it once, and you feel a difference the day after."
Bellway launched in beta mode in January and, so far, consumers have been incredibly enthusiastic. It's experienced month-over-month sales jumps of 314%. The early exuberance led the brand to sell out, and it was out of stock for three months. "You could argue it was a good problem to have, but I can tell you, especially when you are launching a brand and trying to get attention and traction, being sold out during a pandemic is actually a real challenge," says Dresse. His energy turned to shoring up Bellway's relationships with freight partners, backup suppliers and authorities in India, the source if its organic psyllium. The result is a stronger company, but it was tough to road to get there. Bellway's three current products are back in stock. The brand declined to reveal a forecast for 2020 sales.
"We designed the entire cost structure in a way that we can turn this business profitable pretty quickly."
Bellway recently expanded from its website to Amazon. In the second quarter of 2021, it plans to enter brick-and-mortar outlets. Dresse identifies natural food stores, drugstores and beauty retailers as distribution targets. As e-commerce accelerates amid the pandemic, he's been thinking extensively about the mounting importance of physical retailers' websites, previously mere fractions of their sales. Their rising status indicates direct-to-consumer players will have to increasingly pursue strategies to simultaneously perform on on retailers' sites and protect their brand sites. At Bellway, Dresse says, "You will see there will always be a subset of products that we will keep as exclusives for our own online shop, someone's dot-com or people's retail stores."
Bellway has a multipronged approach to customer acquisition touching upon Google, Facebook and Pinterest advertising, and postcards for older snail mail devotees. Lately, it's been branching out to TikTok as well. If Bellway were to stop its marketing spend, Dresse emphasizes it would be in the black. From day one, he indicates he paid attention to unit economics to ensure the brand would be a sustainable operation.
Bellway has three flavors: mixed berry, lemon line and raspberry lemon. Its tubs with 50 servings are priced at $29.99 each.
"I think that CPG companies have realized that turning an unprofitable company profitable is not that easy, and it's not just an issue of scale and thinking scale is going to make you profitable," says Dresse, mentioning employees from major CPG companies have been purchasing Bellway. "I really think it starts from the core and how you formulated the products from the get-go. That's why we designed the entire cost structure in a way that we can turn this business profitable pretty quickly."
