What to watch on Showtime this Spring? Penny Dreadful, Californication, Nurse Jackie
Showtime is getting ready for a Spring to remember. After saying goodbye to the staple show from the cabler in Dexter, they are bringing tons of good and interesting contents.
Let´s see…
Penny Dreadful to premiere Sunday, May 11th at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
In PENNY DREADFUL, some of literature's most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula, all brilliantly reimagined in a whole new light – have become embroiled in Victorian London. The series stars Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down), Timothy Dalton (The Living Daylights, License to Kill) and Eva Green (Casino Royale). Reeve Carney (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), Rory Kinnear (Skyfall), Billie Piper (Doctor Who, Secret Diary of a Call Girl), Harry Treadaway (The Lone Ranger) and Danny Sapani (The Bill) also star. PENNY DREADFUL is a frightening psychosexual thriller created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar® nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Logan's Desert Wolf Productions, along with Oscar® winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, Call The Midwife), both of Neal Street. Of the eight episodes, the first two will be directed by J.A. Bayona, who helmed The Orphanage and the acclaimed film, The Impossible starring Naomi Watts in her Oscar-nominated performance.
Nurse Jackie new season premieres Sunday April 13th at 9PM
Edie Falco returns to her Emmy Award-winning and SAG-nominated role as Jackie Peyton, a strong-willed and brilliant – but very flawed – emergency room nurse. In the sixth season, Jackie returns to the demons of her addiction. It is a daily high wire act with no net. She's trying to cope with a real relationship (Adam Ferrara), an ex-husband (Dominic Fumusa), a daughter who is growing up way too fast (Ruby Jerins) and a sponsor who she can't seem to shake (Julie White). Something's gotta give. NURSE JACKIE also stars Merritt Wever, Paul Schulze, Anna Deavere Smith, Stephen Wallem, Betty Gilpin, Mackenzie Aladjem and Peter Facinelli. Special guest star Morris Chestnut returns and Laura Benanti guest stars. Emmy Award winner Clyde Phillips serves as showrunner and executive producer. Tom Straw, Richie Jackson, Liz Flahive and Caryn Mandabach also executive produce. NURSE JACKIE is a co-production of SHOWTIME and Lionsgate.
The final season of Californication premieres Sunday April 13th at 9:30 PM
CALIFORNICATION stars and is executive produced by David Duchovny in his Golden Globe®-winning role as the hedonistic writer who fights to balance the demands of his libido, his unpredictable career, and his ex-girlfriend/muse Karen. He's aided (and sometimes abetted) by best friend/agent Charlie and Charlie's bawdy wife Marcy. The seventh and final season will find him joining the writer's room as his never-released film "Santa Monica Cop" now becomes a television series of the same name. He's frequently riled by his boss, the show's old-school executive producer Rick Rath (guest star Michael Imperioli), and his fellow writing team members, including Goldie (guest star Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Alonzo (co-star Alonzo Bodden). But he's thrown by the reemergence of old friend Julia (guest star Heather Graham), whose arrival causes chaos in Hank's already hectic life, and with his on-off relationship with Karen (Natasha McElhone). Meanwhile, Charlie (Evan Handler) and Marcy (Pamela Adlon) grapple with the aftermath of their reunion and an enticing offer from her ex-husband, Stu Beggs (guest star Stephen Tobolowsky). Rob Lowe, Brandon T. Jackson, Oliver Cooper and Mercedes Masohn will also guest star. Tom Kapinos is the creator and executive producer.
Years of Living Dangerously premieres Sunday April 13th at 10 PM
YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY follows a star-studded roster of major film, television and renowned journalists traveling the globe, tackling an enormous range of subjects on the hot button topic of climate change. The correspondents are Jessica Alba, Mark Bittman, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, America Ferrera, Harrison Ford, Thomas Friedman, Michael C. Hall, Chris Hayes, Olivia Munn, Dr. M. Sanjayan, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ian Somerhalder and Lesley Stahl. YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY is executive produced by James Cameron, Jerry Weintraub, Schwarzenegger, along with Emmy-winning former 60 Minutes producers Joel Bach and David Gelber, and climate expert Daniel Abbasi. The series is co-executive produced by seven-time Emmy winner Solly Granatstein (60 Minutes and Rock Center with Brian Williams) and Maria Wilhelm (Avatar Alliance Foundation). Dr. Joseph Romm (ClimateProgress.org) serves as the chief science editor.

Q: Who is Monika van Zyl, could you give us a little insight into your background?
A: I have always had a strong passion for science, technology, and art from a young age. I grew up surrounded by books and games. I studied Theatre Technology back in the day before CGI, but then moved over to and multimedia. I worked for a post-production company for a few years before venturing off into the world of freelancing, eventually starting my own digital art studio in 2016.
A: I have been aware of blockchain probably for a few years, but never paid too much attention to it until early 2017 when a friend of mine forced me to sit down and take note. That was the beginning of the end for me and a start of a new passion.
Q: How was Waves African Exchange conceived, when did you start thinking about the concept, could you tell us more?
A: While exploring all the blockchain payment solutions available for existing businesses I became curious about issuing my own crypto, first as a novelty and pure experimentation. While doing research I heard about Waves Platform and its 3 min token creation process. This seemed too good to be true and I immediately started researching further and created my very first token on the Waves Platform.
I was impressed by the possibilities but was greatly disappointed by the fact that I was unable to make any fiat deposits or get my account verified and had to spend large sums on fees to deposit bitcoin to get onto the platform. The penny finally dropped when I once had to pay 40% of my transaction in fees using a credit card! Something had to be done, and urgently.
Q: How did you form your team, who are your team members & partners?
A: My team mostly consists out of freelances I have had the pleasure of working with for some time. My developing team is from the Black Turtle Waves Pool with whom I have joined forces on a few interesting projects such as Waves Platform payment notification services and blockchain voting prototypes. More recently I have been joined by Gordon Bishop, my technical advisor, who has been my right-hand man all the way through the token sale process. It is great to have such a well-formed team that makes work feel like play.
Q: Could you tell us more about Waves African Exchange and your vision in this regard?
A: Waves Platform represents everything that blockchain ever promised us, decentralized, fast, cheap, and useful tool to reshape the global economy. I want to bring this promise to Africa, empower its people and challenge the status quo. I want to stimulate entrepreneurs and give them the tools to bring their personal vision to life. Without gateways to this remarkable platform, blockchain remains a dream. I want to make it a reality.
Q: What other gateways are you planning other than the initial South African wZAR Gateway, what does the future hold?
A: As our bank gives us immediate access to 7 African nations, namely; Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia we will most likely focus our first gateways there. However, we have also received strong interest from Nigeria and Malawi. Our end goal, of course is to have a gateway for every single country in Africa.
Q: What are the major benefits of Waves African Exchange over other competing products & who are your real-world counterparts?
A: Currently there are a few centralized exchanges operating in South Africa, mostly focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum, but there are no gateway options for African nations to any decentralized exchanges. Waves African Exchange gives Africans the power of keeping their funds truly decentralized an in their control by simply providing a safe and secure bridge between native fiat currencies and Waves DEX. We are also opening the power of Waves NG and custom token creation directly to Africa without having to go through costly intermediaries.
Q: Do you have a working product or prototype?
A: It was extremely important to myself to first demo a prototype before developing any type of token sale. I needed to make sure I understood the processes, the technical requirements, and any possible obstacles.
We built a simple manual gateway and did a closed test with about 25 participants for a few weeks to work out the technical concept and economics. I am glad to say that is was a great success.
Once I knew it was possible and what we needed to go ahead to improve the gateway to a fully automated and secure system, I registered the company and the bank account for the final gateway.
Q: What are the planned business products on offer from Waves African Exchange?
A: The WAXEX Rewards program was created to fund the further development of the gateway and to create an economic stimulant for businesses to adopt the Waves Platform into their existing business models.
We aim to provide support and cost-effective marketing to any business who wants to access the blockchain business solutions and tools. It's a solution where everyone benefits; both business and customers.
Further down the line we also have a WAXEX Rewards mobile wallet planned that will verify and organize all your WAXEX rewards, providing useful information and accessibility to our participating WAXEX Rewards partner customers with store locator and special offers services.
Q: You are planning an upcoming token sale for WAXEX tokens, why a token sale and what is planned with the raised funds?
A: We have a token sale planned for 1–31 March '18. Token sales provide a unique opportunity for startup's and existing businesses to do effective crowd funding. It simplifies a lot of the processes and removes a lot of administrative burdens and associated costs. It provides a secure, easy to use and most importantly, an auditable system that is just not possible with traditional funding models.
Q: From an investor's perspective, what are the benefits of owning WAXEX tokens?
A: The benefits are two-fold. By contributing to the development of the gateway you bring access to millions of new customers that were previously side-lined. This includes investors, end users, as well as new start-ups and existing business. This gives a huge boost to the entire Waves blockchain ecosystem, where everybody wins.
On top of that, we offer these new and existing businesses an effective and cost-effective way to market themselves to a customer base that already understands the Waves Platform space and can maximize on their service and product offerings. In return holders of WAXEX tokens reap the benefits of these promotions through the distributed airdrops.
· When will the token sale be held?
· How can people participate in the token sale?
· Is whitelisting (KYC) required?
A: The pre-sale and private investment round starts on 1 Feb '18 and the main token sale runs from 1–31 March '18.
Investors can buy the WAXEX tokens directly on the Waves Platform Decentralized Exchange with Waves or alternatively contact us on info@waxex.africa to arrange for a private sale.
KYC is not strictly required for the purchase of WAXEX tokens via the Waves Decentralized Exchange(DEX), or through private with other cryptocurrencies sales, however purchases of $10 000 or more via direct bank deposits will require a basic form of KYC to comply with banking regulations.
Q: The SEC has been clamping-down on ICO's, how can you reaffirm the investor in this regard?
A: A lot of the scrutiny that ICO's have received is based on their specific business model and not related to the fact that they are offering tokens for sale. One of the first things we did was investigate the current regulatory framework, specifically South Africa's Reserve Bank statement regarding cryptographic assets and exchanges.
Our specific token does not rely on a dividends model or intention of making gains through specific price speculation, but instead serves to provide a functional rewards platform that is not strictly linked to the sales price of the token. The tokens provide a type of membership service to rewards in the form of special product offerings and discounts and is therefore not providing any type of shareholder rights with the intention of distributing dividends or company right to token holders.
Even though KYC is not strictly required for the crypto exchanges in South Africa, as it falls outside of the Financial Services regulations, we intend to keep a good relationship with any and all existing financial services such as banks, who do fall under the regulatory framework, by implementing KYC policies with the intention of providing good faith towards existing institutions and regulators.
Q: The Crypto ICO's are full of non-committal teams and scams, how can you re-assure the investor in this regard?
A: Waves African Exchange (Pty) Ltd is a registered legal entity in South Africa and therefore fully compliant with existing business practices and regulations. I have several years' experience in business management and running a start-up and I am actively involved with the operations of 2 other companies for several years. Most of our existing team have worked together on numerous successful projects within the tech space in the past and have managed to build a good relationship within the blockchain space, as well as inside traditional business space. We are open and transparent and can easily be reached on various social media platforms or direct contact via email or telephone in case of any reservations or queries and references can be supplied on demand.

I'm currently participating in my first IndieWeb Create Day:
Join us in the IndieWeb chat and in our Zoom room. Share ideas, create & improve our personal websites, and build upon each other's creations. Whether you're a creator, writer, blogger, coder, designer, or just someone who wants to improve their presence on the web, all skill and experience levels welcome. Breakout rooms available for those who want to collaborate on the same topic.
I'm using some free time today work in the same virtual space as others to add a new feature to my personal site: dark mode!
Work in progress: My portfolio page in dark mode
Cory Etzkorn has an interesting and elegant dark mode solution, wrapping all of the dark mode styles within a single mixin. I tried this approach, but changed course due to way my stylesheet is structured.
Revisiting my CSS in dark mode, I am seeing opportunities to use CSS variables for my root colors (background, text, supporting text, links, and hovers).
For my block classes and utility classes, I am including a @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) rule for any overrides on the relevant .scss files.
What it's like to be the target of a COVID conspiracy
This one really pissed me off. Three pretty ordinary people (a prop artist, a molecular biology professor and a physician) had their names, images and likenesses swiped in the service of COVID-19 conspiracy claims. Three ordinary people just using the internet to conduct and publish their research, to entertain, or to connect with others.
After my wife and I had a miscarriage earlier this year, Dr. Rockwell's story in particular makes me pretty furious. People post publicly about their vaccination statuses in an effort to encourage others to get the jab. People post publicly about their pregnancy loss in an effort to de-stigmatize something that a lot of people go through, but not a lot of people feel comfortable talking about. Dr. Rockwell could very easily be any number of women we know.
I get disgusted knowing that some anonymous people are making money by deceiving others. They are also leading people to an early, preventable death or infecting others during a global pandemic. Furthermore, this behavior gets rewarded by social media companies in the form of likes, shares and other engagement metrics.
You're not so terrific and that's OK
Kenny Shopsin doing some anti-Mister Rogers schtick
Not sure if it was all the 20th anniversary coverage of Sept. 11, but I felt like watching the 2004 documentary I Like Killing Flies this week. The film is about famed NYC cook Kenny Shopsin and his idiosyncratic family-run restaurant Shopsin's General Store. The film is not so much about the trauma of 9/11 in Lower Manhattan but the casualties of the real estate trends that change a neighborhood's character. In this case, the gentrification of Greenwich Village in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Eve Shopsin passed away during the making of the documentary, and Kenny died in 2018, but the restaurant is still around, run by the come of the kids at the Essex Market on the Lower East Side. Covid can't keep the Shopsin clan down, and their website says they are doing take-out and delivery (something you could not get in the 2002/3 incarnation of Shopsin's) to stay open.
I went in the Essex Market in 2014 trying to find the place, but I must have walked past the booth–I read it was tiny. There are a ton of vendors and its easy to get lost in the place. Not sure if I was secretly hoping to get kicked out by the famously cantankerous waitstaff or secretly relieved I saved myself the embarrassment of trying to fit in.
Not being in New York and able to eat at the place today, I could read daughter Tamara Shopsin's graphic memoir, Arbitrary Stupid Goal. It's about growing up in a larger than life family and the disappearing way of life of her 1970s/80s West Village childhood. Or I can pick up Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin, a cookbook that famously advises you not to follow the recipes too closely.
Essential reading, however, is Calvin Trillin's 2002 New Yorker profile of Kenny and Eve and Shopsin's General Store.
Bonus video: Kenny Shopsin shows Conan O'Brien how to make pancakes in 2008:
It's very strange to poke around at a piece of software that you have used daily for near 16 years and be lost and confused about what you're actually doing.

Open UI: Solving a Multi-Decade Problem
This presentation by Melanie Edwards and Greg Whitworth is a great introduction to the Open UI project and its goals.
Today, component frameworks and design systems reinvent common web UI controls to give designers full control over their appearance and behavior. We hope to make it unnecessary to reinvent built-in UI controls, but for those who choose to do so, we expect that these design systems will benefit from Open UI's specifications and test suites.
Long term, we hope that Open UI will establish a standard process for developing high-quality UI controls suitable for addition to the web platform.

With the sheer connectivity and externalization of interior emotion in the 21st century, there's probably a sharper awareness of the grand totality of angers flowing around at any given moment, and what it's like to feel, get indicted by, or caught up in them. The social platforms give us this neon cat's-in-the-cradle paradigm where you can see how X leads to Y, and pulling here tightens this over there. Whatever problems existed before the pandemic, they just seem to have been frozen in time and deepened, along with all the new iterations.

I also think the oft bandied about trope that: to disengage with social media is to retreat to some bourgeoisie bubble of privileged la-la-la-I'm-not-listening, is not only nonsense, but a dangerous framing. In fact, the main beneficiaries of staying with your eyes glued to the Doom Stream are the companies producing the streams. That's why they're so seductive. (Not because the streams are righteous, but because the streams are super duper profitable; the paperclip machine will make paperclips at all costs, will enchant you into the Church of Paperclip.) The greatest trick modern internet giants played on us was making us believe that political engagement — to be an ally, as it were — requires sacrificing our own health (physical and mental). When, in fact, the most capable (and, paradoxically, tuned into the world) and tangibly influential folk I know are those disengaged from that dopamine-cortisol loop.

Different realities
When You've Lost Someone to QAnon→
I'm still hoping to convince my parents to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but these conversations are getting more and more frustrating. It is becoming apparent that we inhabit two different realities.
Facebook and the Telegraph app are (still) particle accelerators of dangerous misinformation, and this weekend I heard elements of every conspiracy theory under the sun. It's tempting to write off the 30% of the country that believes the 2020 election results were fradulent or stolen. It's hard when that number includes members of your own family.
I reverse image search attachments in my email and use snopes.com to search key terms I hear from these phone conversations. Not necessarily to fact-check my family into changing their minds…that is unlikely to work. Tonight I re-read "Why Facts Don't Change Our Minds", by Elizabeth Kolbert. It's a review (published in 2017) of three books about confirmation bias and the possible evolutionary purpose of reason.
Instead, the fact-checking and debunking activities help me understand where some of these outlandish claims are coming from, and possibly the money behind them. At this point I don't want to argue about whether the moon landing was faked or if John F. Kennedy Jr. is still alive. I don't want to see someone I love willingly fall prey to a financial scam. I don't want them to die from or infect others with the coronavirus.
So I'm sharing this Psychology Today article if it helps anyone else with some rudimentary steps to being there for a loved one if/when they're ready to come back to reality.

This was a fun one to work on. And it went relatively quick. It started with Jackie, Eleanor and I catching up over lunch in Albuquerque and then a follow-up via email. The email brief:
We are still wanting to work on a website! We do not currently have a domain name. I can certainly do that to get us started but would love some direction on the best way to go about that. We are wanting a basic, easy to navigate site that can also link to our bandcamp page (link below) as that is how we sell all of our merch and music.
We had a working website on GitHub Pages a couple weeks later. And amazingly the dot com was available! Siteleaf is a great experience for editing markdown files. Pretty great way to host a site inexpensively with a good CMS without compromising quality or performance. I still love how easy it is to work with collections in Jekyll. This is also the first site I launched supporting light mode and dark mode.

Mr. Devandry and his wife recently moved to North Carolina. The stresses of a move, new job and overall new environment are expected, so Mr. Devandry didn't worry about his heartburn. Finally, after a few days, the pain was unbearable and 911 was called. Once on the phone with emergency medical dispatcher, Brandy Pender, it was quickly suspected that it might be more than heartburn. Cornelious Volunteer Fire Department and Medic units were dispatched to provide further care. Brandy provided instructions to Mrs. Devandry to provide medical care. Paramedics Jose Gonzalez, Roger Gomez, and Cornelious VFD arrived to provide patient care. Using their training, cardiac monitor, and years of experience, the team was able to determine that Mr. Devandry was experiencing a heart attack (STEMI). Mr. Devandry was taken to Novant Presbyterian to get advanced cardiac treatment. Medic's were able to send the ECG, administer medication, start IV's and notify the staff at the hospital of the situation. This teamwork between EMS and the hospitals saves time, heart tissues, and improves patient outcomes.


One of the standard rules of parliamentary reform is that there is an inverse relationship between the importance of any reform and the amount of media coverage it attracts. The decision to allow MPs to make a point of order during a division without wearing a hat attracted considerable media coverage; the introduction of automatic programming of legislation – which has had real consequences for the scrutiny of bills – came into being without almost any external discussion. So it was on 1 November 2006, when MPs voted on a series of reforms to the legislative process and to members' allowances. Many of the changes were passed without any discussion (or even mention) at all outside the House, including the wider use of the Special Standing Committee procedure for the consideration of Government bills, a reform which could do more to improve the quality of parliamentary scrutiny of bills than any other reform in the last twenty years.
Several of the changes – including the wider use of SSCs – passed without a vote. But in addition, MPs divided on four other issues, summarised in this short briefing paper (pdf, 44k).

Renowned Volleyball Coach Finds True Calling in STEM

From the Heart: Powerful Stories from Passionate Educators
Tina Garrett, STEM Coordinator, Garland Independent School District, Texas
Some teachers are born into education; they come from a family of educators and never really could see themselves becoming anything but a teacher. Others are inspired into education; they had a teacher who was so inspirational and so excellent, it changed their lives. Becoming an educator was a way to pay that forward.
But Tina Garrett's story is a little different. Garrett, the STEM coordinator for Garland (Texas) Independent School District, can still remember the names of teachers who she says were unpleasant and discouraged her from believing that she could succeed. The classes were unengaging as well.
"It was all lectures and drill and kill," she said. "I'm a very social person. I need to be able to do it."
So, after college, Garrett knew that she was going to become a teacher that inspired and excited students.
"I became a teacher to prove to everybody that they were doing it wrong," she said. "Someone has to show kids that they care about them. You're at school more than you're at home."
Her education career started in Louisiana, including stints as an elementary school teacher and a middle school math teacher in New Orleans. She then became a high school physics teacher in Mississippi, but it was something non-academic that made Tina realize she could do more in education.
While in Mississippi, Garrett served as a high school volleyball coach, and her team did very well, gaining recognition across the state.
"It showed me that I can engage a group and bring them together with a focus to do more than just have fun," she said. "It was an a-ha moment. I was really good at this but I needed a bigger purpose than just volleyball.
"Someone has to show kids that they care about them. You're at school more than you're at home." I needed to make a bigger impact in education."
When she returned to Texas in 2008, she went back to college to get her master's degree and soon became an instructional coach in elementary school science. She coached and motivated other teachers, helping them develop lesson plans that engaged students. She is now working in curriculum development, with an emphasis on STEM, helping teachers be their best in this critical part of education.
One area of focus for Garrett is helping teachers integrate technology into their lessons. She believes teachers recognize the power that technology has in the classroom, but the logistics can be overwhelming. That's why it is important for any school or district to have a strong infrastructure in place and lots of professional development opportunities before deploying devices and other technology. She also said that teachers must recognize that technology shifts the balance of power in the classroom.
"A big challenge is releasing control and allowing students to be creative and authentic," she said. "We're never going to grow the thinkers we need unless we allow them to solve problems."
That's one of the reasons she likes the Science Techbook — it puts control in the hands of students.
"We're teaching kids how to research effectively with a very strong reference bank from Techbook," she said. "It's student-centered which gives students power."
Garrett is finishing her Ph. D. in curriculum development, with a focus on STEM. And even though she isn't a classroom teacher anymore, she still works to make all students feel valued and important.
"Every child deserves a chance. Every child matters," she said. "Every child deserves someone to say 'I'm going to help you figure out your strengths and help you acquire the skills you need to be successful."
What Tina loves most about Techbook is how it's helping students become creators, not just consumers, and empowering them to own their learning.

When Dean A. Goetz lost a few feet of his Terramar back yard he got worried enough to get the permits to build a $500,000 concrete wall to "protect beach goers," according to a story in the North County Times. But at least one surfer didn't like that.
It will be interesting to see what happens on this one.
They should have never built those 2 houses on the bluff. After all the bluff failures in Leucadia, no one should have certified the ground there as safe to build huge mansions! The houses themselves are garish and now the sea wall will make it look even more overdeveloped.
The previous owner of all three lots had to allow access to the beach. The aforementioned owner was required to help fund beach access (stairs), which approved was approved by the costal commission. When the last two house where built, a person with common sense and no degree in structural engineering could logically concluded that the cliff stability was an issue. In fact, members of the local surf community at the break noted that the houses were beautiful but no one would feel comfortable living an instability environment. My hearts goes out to the owner of the property but they bought or built in an unstable area so buyers beware or build at your own risk. I feel it would be a social injustice if the retaining wall is built.
screw this wall, they should learn not to build in a place that is going to collapse, i saw the house go up, thought it was a bad idea, then i saw the wall go up, which is a even worse idea, just cuz u were dumb enough to build ur house next to a cliff doesnt mean we all have to put up with ur many mistakes, thanks for making the high tide backwash even worse… u gonna compensate us for ruining our wave?
You guys must really be choking on bitter grapes. Your responses are juvenile and idiotic.
If you actually owned a home you would do what you could do protect your property. And, BY THE WAY, you are on PRIVATE property when you are on the beach at Terramar. All you goons who think you're locals can go home from whence you came. These homeowners' backyards actually reach all the way out to the median tide line. So it is because of their good graces that they ALLOW you to trespass in what is essentially THEIR backyards. I say KUDOS to the contractor(s) who created a seawall that looks almost like natural bluff, with state of the art technology, including proper drainage.
Oh, also by the way, keep your dogs at HOME. It is illegal on EVERY beach in Carlsbad to bring your dog on to the beach, whether on a leash or not.

FC Platinum are assessing some foreign players, coach Norman Mapeza has confirmed.
The Zimbabwe champions are seeking to reinforce their squad as they face a busy a campaign with the CAF Champions League coming later in the year.
Speaking on Thursday without giving the names of the players, Mapeza said: "When we are talking of foreigners, we talk of someone who can bring something different from what we have here.
"It's true we have some guys we are assessing at the moment, but we always look for quality. We have to look for someone who will give us more, so it's still work in progress. We are still monitoring those guys, and if they impress we can sign them.
FC Platinum currently have one foreigner in their squad – Cameroonian striker Albert Eonde who joined the team at the end of 2017.

She's a former attorney, a trained art historian, a musician, and now she spends half of her Wednesdays talking to ECHO guests about forests, bears, and moose. Ruth Kassel has been a volunteer at ECHO for twelve years, making her a part of the first class of volunteers. Kassel found the aquarium through her son, who was on the fundraising committee at ECHO. She and her husband had recently retired to Burlington to be near family, and their son suggested the then new volunteer program to fill their time. The pair have been here ever since, though they don't come in on the same days; her husband works Mondays and Kassel takes Wednesday mornings.
"We have a cabin in Nebraska Valley, so I can really talk about what it's like living in the woods in Vermont, because we do it!" she said. The other half of her Wednesdays are spent at the sea life tank, where she teaches guests about creatures and lets them put their hands in the water. It's clear that Kassel loves what she's doing: when kids come up to the tank, she instantly smiles and takes out a tiny pink flashlight to show them sea stars, anemone and hermit crabs. She spouts off facts about new animals and plants and teaches kids the best way to handle sea life.

"Ruth has an enthusiasm for learning, and comes each day with a science fact," said Linda Bowden, guest service manager. "She comes to meetings with things she's read to share, which helps spur conversation about stewardship and the basin." When she's not at ECHO, Kassel keeps busy with a walking club, a book group, swimming at the YMCA, and singing in two choirs. Though volunteering at the science center is just one of many activities Kassel is involved with, it's one of her favorites: "I love coming here, it's like coming to summer camp."

playground and school ground injuries, sports injuries and injuries related to bicycles. According to the Canadian Hospital Injury Report and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), 23% of all injuries occurring to children between the ages of 10-14 take place in or around the home. A further 22% and 17% are injuries in playgrounds and at schools respectively.1 Brain injury is the number one killer and disabler of children in Canada. A child who has suffered from such an injury will require extensive hospitalization, treatment and future care.
Representing a child in a civil proceeding is extremely challenging, complex and rewarding. Children may be witnesses to an accident, the injured party or a victim to alleged wrongdoing. In recent years these children are increasingly being called as witnesses in Canadian civil courts. All too often counsel must rely on "the school of hard knocks" when preparing their witness for a court proceeding, be it an examination for discovery, examination in chief, or cross-examination.
Much of the traditional Canadian trial advocacy literature focuses on children as witnesses in criminal proceedings.2 Since the late 1980's sexual assault of children and the way these children testify in court have received extensive attention from legal authors, the courts and social science researchers. There is now a body of research on the reliability and credibility of child reporting and the developmentally appropriate questioning of a child. There is also now a body of literature on how to question children in a criminal proceeding in a Canadian court.
While the legal literature on child witnesses in sexual assault cases is useful, such literature has only limited application to a personal injury action in the Canadian civil courts. The dynamic of the civil proceeding and the way the age of the child and their physical trauma affects their testimony, are absent from the traditional trial advocacy literature. The purpose of this paper is to provide practical information for the legal profession on how to prepare and examine a child who is a witness in a personal injury action.
More and more, lawyers in the civil context are called upon to consider the child as a witness in a civil proceeding. The child may be a victim of a negligent action. The child may be the only witness of a traumatic injury to a family member. The child may be a Family Law Act claimant who has lost the care, guidance and companionship from a family member. The trauma of a child injured is often compounded by factors other than their own injury, for instance the death of a parent, sibling or close friend, and the injury both physical and/or emotional of a surviving care giver.
In 1991 the Ontario Law Reform Commission, Report on Child Witnesses, indicated that among its aims were: "to ensure that the legal rules which apply to young witnesses are based on modern empirical studies respecting the testimonial capabilities of children and not on antiquated and erroneous notions about the frailty of children's evidence's" More recently the courts have unequivocally rejected the notion that children's evidence is inherently unreliable.
to apply adult tests for credibility to the evidence of children.
which characterize the evidence offered in the particular case.
In a personal injury action where a child is called as a witness, it is imperative that counsel adequately prepare the child to testify. Properly preparing a child can reduce the child's anxiety in testifying at an examination for discovery and trial. Likewise, preparation can improve the odds that the child will do well when examined.
Many parents feel directly responsible for the injuries to their child. They may blame themselves for failing to supervise the child, allowing the child to be placed in undesirable circumstances or failing to recognize the danger of the situation. As such, when counsel is meeting with the parent and child in order to prepare the child for the examination for discovery, counsel should be sensitive to the parents' reactions along with those of the injured child. Depending upon the age of the child and their needs, the meeting between counsel and the child witness for preparation for the examination for discovery should be conducted without the parents presence and/or free from their input.
At the meeting between counsel and the child witness, counsel should explain to the child that as their representative, counsel will be guarding the child from any misuses of the adversarial system during the examination for discovery. The discovery and trial process should be explained to the child in simple terms. An innovative, practical way to present this information would be by a well-designed videotape. Preparation should be directed to what testifying will be like, the lay out of the room and where testifying will take place.
Counsel should actively listen to the child and should liberally tolerate silence and pause because a child, depending upon his or her age may need more time than an adult to think or to decide how to express themselves.
Counsel should give particular attention to whether the child actually understands the question. The child should be instructed to advise at the meeting and examination for discovery if he or she does not understand the question.
Authors on advocacy such as Lee Stuesser in An Advocacy Primer, suggest in the criminal context that counsel should avoid asking a child why he or she did or did not take such action. The underlying rationale is that those type of questions imply criticism.14 Nevertheless, in the civil context the child witness should be prepared by their counsel to answer such questions at the examination for discovery. Questions as to why he or she did or did not take such an action are often asked of an adolescent witness at their examination for discovery.
There are two parts to effective understanding of a child's testimony: a basic understanding of children's language development in general, and an individual assessment of where that particular child fits into the general development scheme. The effective questioning of a child witness requires an understanding of the child's development in the linguistic, cognitive and emotional domains.
A distinction must be made between a child's ability to remember and a child's ability to relate what he or she has seen.
It will be self-evident to every observant parent and to all who have worked closely with young people that children, even more than adults, will have a better recollection of events shortly after they occurred then they will some weeks, months or years later. The younger the child, the more pronounced will this be. Indeed to state this simply expresses the observations of most Canadians. It is a common experience that anyone, and particularly children will have a better recollection of events closer to their occurrence than he or she will later on.
Physically painful events will be better recalled and related than one that is not. In one study of children's errors when recounting details of trauma injuries that result in hospital Emergency Room treatment, it was concluded that children are surprisingly reliable informants about stressful experiences when they are not misled or coerced. Children three years of age and older are accurate when recounting the events that cause them pain and stress, namely, details of their injury and of their medical treatment at the hospital, when interviewed in a non-leading manner within a few days of these events. Furthermore, they are highly accurate not only when interviewed shortly after the events, but also when re-interviewed six months later.
The language used in examination for discovery should be carefully crafted. A child's ability to relate events which they have witnessed can be hampered by their own limited language skills. Counsel representing a child witness should be guarding against any developmentally inappropriate questions framed by opposing counsel at the examination for discovery.
1. Keep questions short. Each question should have only one idea. Long sentences or questions should be broken down into shorter ones. The most difficult type of question for a child to answer involves multiple parts. As well, keep sentences in the subject verb object order. The main idea should be at the front of the sentence.
2. When possible use simple every day terms. Use easy words over hard ones and avoid legalese.
6. Use the active voice. Young children have difficulty comprehending the passive voice. If you are asking about the past, be sure the child understands that. If you switch to the present make sure this is also clear.
7. Avoid pronouns. Repeating the nouns when questioning children is always better.
9. Tag questions are confusing to children such as: "You did it didn't you." Or "Isn't it true that"
10. Avoid asking children directly about abstract concepts. Avoid the question of belief entirely. Young children have a tendency to be very literal and concrete in their language. Children under the age of 9 or 10 are not generally reliable in their estimate of time, speed distance, size, height and weight.
11. It is important to define the child's words. Once the child's words are defined, match your question to the child's choice of words and phrases.
12. Be weary of comprehension difficulty. Children are not likely to disclose to adults when they are not understanding a question. Watch body language for puzzled looks, downcast eyes, long pauses or irrelevant responses.
A child's stage of development will affect their ability to understand and answer questions. Children should be asked questions that are appropriate to their linguistic and cognitive skills. Counsel representing the child witness should object to developmentally inappropriate questions.
The experience of testifying is often intimidating especially for a young child. Counsel should inform the child as to what is going to happen in the court, who will be there and what the child will have to do. Counsel should provide a copy of the examination for discovery transcript of the child's evidence to the child well in advance of the trial. Where the child is quite young, the litigation guardian who is often the parent of the child should read the transcript to the child. Key portions of the transcript should be highlighted and reviewed with the child at counsel's office.
The child witness will have had the experience of being examined under oath at an examination for discovery. Counsel should provide instruction on the initial requirements of the oath at trial and understanding of the duty to tell the truth so that the child is prepared to deal with the court's questions about these matters. A courtroom tour a week before trial should be arranged. The child should sit in the witness chair and if possible counsel should conduct a brief mock examination in chief and cross- examination.
At the courthouse at the trial date counsel should help the child to relax. The child should be put on the stand as early in the day as possible to lessen the anxiety of waiting. Counsel should avoid snack or nap times when calling a very young child to testify. In addition, the courtroom setting can be adjusted to make the testimony more comfortable and less threatening for the child. A child should be seated comfortably in the witness stand and should be able to see over the witness stand. A booster seat may be of some assistance with a very young child. A young child may have a limited attention span. Counsel might consider discussing the matter of recesses with the court and opposing counsel in advance of the trial.
The examiner should open the examination in chief with simple questions designed to place the child at ease. In examination in chief, if the child is having difficulty in answering a question, in all likelihood the problem lies with the question and how it has been asked. Where a child is experiencing difficulty testifying due to fear, embarrassment, or confusion, a photograph or picture previously drawn by the child is useful in refreshing the child's memory. Demonstrative evidence is also a helpful technique to help the child to testify and to assist the jury to understand the child's testimony.
In R. v. F.(C.),  3 S.C.R. 1183, Justice Cory speaking for the Supreme Court of Canada points out that children, subjected to skilful cross-examination, may become confused in the witness box and inconsistencies to their testimony may arise on peripheral facts, even if they are telling the truth.
Cross-examination of a child witness is a difficult exercise in a civil proceeding, the importance of which cannot be over emphasised. The basic purposes of cross-examinations are to elicit testimony which is favourable to the cross-examiner's theory of the case and to undermine the witness's direct testimony by challenging the witness's credibility or his or her testimony. Unlike a criminal proceeding, the child witness will have already had the experience of testifying at an examination for discovery.
The child witness should be asked at the outset to stop opposing counsel who is conducting the questioning if they are confused. Language and sentence structure that is appropriate to the child's age should be used. Counsel cross-examining should as a check, ask the child what certain words used by the child mean to that child rather then take for granted that they know what the child means.
Counsel cross-examining should observe the manner in which the child's evidence is presented and observe the facial expressions and the non-verbal behaviour of the child. The use of adult sophisticated language or the repetition of phrases or entire answers may be indicative of testimony memorized. Counsel should repeat some of the questions asked in the examination in chief to see whether the identical answer was given.
Traditional methods of impeaching a witness may not work well with a child. Often the child will not understand technical terms such as "testify" which is traditionally used by counsel to impeach the witness. Counsel cross-examining should establish that the child was in a comfortable and trusting environment when he or she made a prior statement in order to bring out material inconsistencies between the child's testimony and prior statement.40 As well, counsel cross-examining should listen to answers that involve exaggeration and give the child a chance to elaborate on those aspects of the testimony so that the implausibility of the testimony is highlighted.41 In order to discredit a child witness counsel cross-examining should show that errors in the child's story exist despite proper questioning at cross-examination.
It is now increasingly more common for counsel in a personal injury action to represent a child in a civil dispute. It is also increasingly more common for defence counsel, as an opponent, to be faced with a child witness to be cross-examined at an examination for discovery and at trial.
All too often when confronted with a child witness, counsel in a personal injury action will rely upon their skills and techniques that they employ when dealing with adult witnesses. Due to the extensive empirical research in the last decade on child witnesses in sexual assault cases there is now a body of literature on the way young children testify in criminal proceedings. Unfortunately, Canadian trial advocacy literature to date has been silent on preparing, examining and cross-examining young children in civil proceedings.
Each year thousands of children in Canada are involved in accidents resulting in physical injury. Many of these children go on to be involved in a civil proceeding as a child witness. Counsel representing a child in a personal injury action must be careful to prepare and to guide the child through the examinations for discovery and the trial process. Counsel must be mindful that the child witness is a special witness and as such, counsel must employ unique skills and techniques. In the final analysis, counsel must recognize the special needs and capacities of the child witness in order to be an effective advocate for the child or an effective opponent/cross-examiner of a child witness.

The Riot Compensation Bill will proceed. The back-story is that the text of the Bill is all but identical to the Home Office's draft Bill on this matter that was published before the 2015 General Election. In effect, it has strong Government support despite it being a Private Member's Bill in name.
The measures in the Bill will exclude non-material consequential losses (for example, business interruption and other economic loss) from the scope of riot compensation and set a £1 million cap per claim. Probably the key point for property insurers is to what extent these changes may affect rating and pricing of cover because of the cap on post-riot recovery of losses from police forces?
In contrast, the Negligence and Damages Bill is not going forward. It is also a Private Member's Bill but it has no Government support and was nowhere near high enough on the agenda (the Commons Order Paper) even to secure a debate about its substance. As a matter of formal procedure, it has now been added to the agenda for debate on 22 January. But given that some fifteen other Bills are already listed for that day this one is, effectively, dead in the water. Thus this tweet from APIL last Friday "Negligence & Damages Bill ran out of time today. New second reading date: Friday 22 January" is technically accurate but certainly creates, in my view, a misguided expectation that the Bill is going to get on in the New Year.
So why bother with it now if it stands no chance? The first reason is that one of the changes it proposes – moving calculation of the dependency multiplier, in fatal accident claims, from date of death to the date of assessment – will be argued before the Supreme Court anyway on 28 January, less than a week after the Bill's re-listed second reading. The case is Knauer v Ministry of Justice. The second reason is that other measures in the Bill – on reforming statutory bereavement damages and relaxing the law on secondary psychiatric injury – are high on APIL's reform agenda and are likely to hang around even when the Bill falls away. For example, implementation of the results of the recent consultation on bereavement awards in Northern Ireland could well provide another hook for further pressure and campaigning.
The issues in both Bills are therefore most definitely worth further analysis and close monitoring over the medium term.

The complete internal strip-out of the existing structure is well underway, with public protection works expected to be carried out toward the middle of this month. This is in preparation for the the added levels to be built onto the existing structure.

It's been long haul getting to this point, but today we commence the sales pre-launch for 388 Lonsdale Street! http://www.388lonsdale.com.au. We have also commenced our display suite located on the ground floor of 388 Lonsdale St (entrance via Hardware Street).
Revised Planning Permit issued today as a result of last Friday's resolution at VCAT.
Today's VCAT hearing has resulted in a mediated outcome between Aurumstone and the Melbourne City Council. Council has agreed to an additional setback level (Level 18), Level 1 now as apartments, and the incorporation of revised layouts which positively provide for more natural light into living space for future purchasers. Aurumstone in return will need to change the use of the basement tenancy which is currently permitted as a nightclub, but notably we had already commenced the process of doing this in any case. This is a fantastic result for all!! In particular, our future purchasers who will benefit from additional natural light, and will need not have any concern of a nightclub outside the apartment complex entrance.
Our development at 388 Lonsdale Street will be branded "388". This has been decided upon in conjunction with our sales and marketing team, 360 Property Group and Tomorrow Agency, and of course our project manager First Urban.
Aurumstone has been granted a Town Planning Permit for the development of 388 Lonsdale Street. This follows the Future Melbourne Committee held on 7th October 2015 where all councillors voted unanimously in favour of the development.

"Even the "high speed broadband" offerings are providing only a small fraction of what is technologically possible and its asymmetricity is modeled after the television network, not the peer connectivity of the Internet. The failure to understand what the Internet really is deprives us of economic opportunity at a time when it is most vital. Giving a dead industry an exemption from antitrust so it can keep the future at bay is the way to maximize the damage to the economy. It is a tragic misunderstanding with real and immediate consequences."

Q: In oracle on delete set null is not working I have created two tables:
Create Table Dept
(Department_id number Constraint Depart_id_pk Primary Key
,Department_name varchar2(20));

Create table Emp
  (Emp_id number Constraint Empl_id_pk Primary Key
 ,First_name varchar2(10)
 ,salary number
 ,Department_id number
 ,Constraint depart_id_fk Foreign Key (department_id)
      References Dept (Department_id) on delete set null);

Then I have inserted some records in dept and Emp table. But when I try to drop dept table, instead of setting null in Emp.department_id column it shows error like this:
SQL> Drop Table Dept;
Drop Table Dept
           *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02449: unique/primary keys in table referenced by foreign keys

A: The foreign key's clause say "on delete set null". Delete is a DML operation, and had you attempted to delete rows from the dept table, the corresponding emp rows would have been updated with a null dept_id.
But this isn't the case - you tried to drop the entire table, a DDL operation. This isn't allowed, because you'd be leaving behind constraints on the emp table that reference a table that no longer exists. If you want to drop these constraints too, you can use a cascade constraints clause:
DROP TABLE dept CASCADE CONSTRAINTS

SEATTLE — The U. S. Coast Guard is releasing a Waterways Analysis and Management System report on the Umpqua River in Oregon which states that the Umpqua River Lighthouse is not required for safe navigation. This determination opens the door for the U.S. Coast Guard to begin the process to discontinue the Umpqua River Light as a federal aid to navigation.
The review included multiple surveys from local waterway users, as well as consultation with commercial towing companies, the Port of Umpqua, and other local entities. The majority of respondents indicated the Umpqua River Light is a secondary, or backup aid to navigation.
Specific plans for the disposition of the lighthouse will be made at a later time. There are currently no plans to remove the historic Fresnel lens from the lighthouse.
One possible future action is the transfer of ownership of a lighthouse via the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act (NHLPA) of 2000. This process was set up to transfer lighthouses to preservation groups who can preserve historic property. During the process, a determination is made as to which interested groups can best manage and preserve the property. Under NHLPA, the classical lens may be transferred with the lighthouse and used as a private aid to navigation or as a static display.
Rear Admiral Gary T Blore, Commander of the Thirteenth Coast Guard District stated: "The determination of navigational necessity of Umpqua River Light was made only after careful review and consideration. While this lighthouse may no longer be necessary as a primary, federally-maintained aid to navigation, I recognize and am sensitive to the significant community and economic importance of this historical structure to the local community. We are committed to the continued operation of this lighthouse until a transfer strategy is developed, and will ensure public comment is encouraged.
