Messi wins Ballon d'Or for record sixth time
By Daily Reporter
Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d'Or award for the world's best player for a record sixth time.
It is the 32-year-old Argentine's first Ballon d'Or since 2015 and comes after he scored 54 times for club and country in 2018-19, in which Barca won La Liga.
Virgil van Dijk was second – one of four Liverpool players in the top seven, including Sadio Mane in fourth.
Juventus and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won the award five times, was third in the voting.
England defender Lucy Bronze was beaten to the women's award, finishing second behind Megan Rapinoe, who was Golden Ball winner as USA claimed a second successive World Cup in 2019.
Liverpool keeper Alisson won the inaugural Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper, ahead of Barcelona's Germany international Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Brazilian compatriot Ederson of Manchester City.
Defender Matthijs de Ligt took the Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best under-21 player and selected by former Ballon d'Or winners.
The 20-year-old, who joined Juventus this summer after helping Ajax reach the semi-finals of last season's Champions League, beat Borussia Dortmund and England forward Jadon Sancho to the award.
Messi's win means the Ballon d'Or award has been won by a player from Spain's La Liga in each of the last 11 years, including last year's winner Luka Modric, who broke the 10-year Messi-Ronaldo monopoly on the prize.
"Today is my sixth Ballon d'Or. It's a completely different moment, lived with my family and my children," Messi said.
"As my wife said, you must never stop dreaming but always work to improve and continue to enjoy. I am very lucky, I am blessed.
"I hope to continue for a long time. I realise that I am very lucky, even if, one day, retirement will ring. It will be difficult.
"But I still have beautiful years ahead of me. Time goes very quickly, so I want to enjoy football and my family."
The Argentine forward recently notched up 700 appearances for Barca, during which time he has scored a phenomenal 614 goals while winning 34 trophies, including 10 La Liga and four Champions League titles, and a host of other records and awards.
What is the Ballon d'Or?
The Ballon d'Or has been awarded by France Football every year since 1956, with England's Stanley Matthews the first winner.
It was only for European players until 1995, when it expanded to become open for any player at a European club. From 2007 it opened up to the rest of the world.
The 30-man list of nominees is compiled by the editorial staff of the French magazine, with the winner voted for by journalists from around the world, with one representative per nation.
From 2010 to 2015 it merged with Fifa's awards, but they split and the world governing body set up its own awards again in 2016.

Should I visit a doctor?
Who was at fault for my fall?
How can I pay my bills while I miss work?
Does insurance cover my expenses?
There is no one correct answer to any of these questions. But a slip and fall accident lawyer in Middletown can help find the answers you seek. The attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC have served Pennsylvanian personal injury victims for decades. Call us at 215-642-2335 for more information regarding compensation you may be owed.
Collectable damages following slip and fall accidents are hard to assess. Your most immediate concern regarding compensation is probably the costs of the doctor's office visit the day you fell. This is a tangible upfront cost that is simple to quantify. However, few people consider the less tangible and long-term costs associated with slip and fall injuries.
Present medical bills: These medical bills mainly consist of your initial hospital visit, and current treatments and therapy resulting from the accident.
Long-term medical costs: Severe slip and fall accidents sometimes cause long-term, if not permanent, disabilities that require on-going treatment. Quantifying the cost of that treatment is not always simple but factors heavily into your settlement. We might discuss your accident with a medical expert to determine what you might expect in the long run.
Lost wages: You can recover compensation for any time you took off work to recover from your injuries. This can also include time you took off to attend doctor's appointments or days when your injuries kept you from working a full day.
Diminished earning potential: You may be entitled to compensation if your injuries forced you to retire, work less, or take a lesser-paying job.
Pain and suffering: Pain and suffering damages are not specific and vary depending on the accident, injuries, and the victim. We will determine how the accident has affected you (and your family) and use that to estimate a value for your pain and suffering.
Miscellaneous expenses: These damages are related to unforeseen costs related to your accident and treatment. For example, if your accident treatments required you to visit a specialist far from your home, your attorney could claim the cost of gas among your miscellaneous damages.
How Can I Recover Compensation for My Slip and Fall Injuries?
A hazard existed on the property (e.g., torn carpet in a department store).
The property owner or employee created the hazard, knew about the hazard, or should have known about the hazard and did nothing to remedy it (e.g., an employee tripped over the carpet, told the manager, the manager failed to fix the tear and did not warn customers of the hazard).
The hazard caused your injury (e.g., you tripped, hit your head, and sustained a traumatic brain injury).
We will investigate the accident to prove the three elements above. While we will make our best effort to prove you bear no responsibility for your accident, the property owner's insurance company and attorneys will do their best to prove the opposite. And Pennsylvania's comparative negligence laws only require them to prove that your actions or inattention contributed to your accident to decrease your settlement.
Say the sum of your damages totals $40,000. If the insurer proves that you were 25 percent responsible for your slip and fall accident, then you would be liable for 25 percent of the damages. The property owner's insurer would pay the remaining 75 percent of damages (i.e., $30,000). This would leave you paying $10,000 out of pocket.
These nuances in personal injury law make a capable slip and fall accident lawyer in Middletown that much more helpful. Cordisco & Saile LLC has fought for damages on behalf of countless personal injury victims over the years. In that time, our team has learned the tricks insurers employ to protect themselves from paying the damages you deserve.
Pennsylvania's statute of limitations requires you to file your personal injury claim within two years of the date of your slip and fall accident. While we cannot expedite your claim, we will do everything in our power to file your case within the time limits to get you the compensation you deserve.
Do not feel as though you need to handle a slip and fall case alone. Call Cordisco & Saile LLC at 215-642-2335 for a free consultation. And because we handle cases on a contingency basis, you owe us nothing unless we recover for you.

Running Sydney to Disney – Making it count
June 14, 2016 by Sammie 48 Comments
I have what I call a cancer hangover but unlike a hangover of the regular variety, the cancer hangover never goes away. But on the flip side (because I believe that there is always a flip side) unlike a regular hangover, it's not all bad. And today I want to talk about the good stuff. There are many reasons why cancer has made my life richer, there are at least 9 others, but I think the most profound is how much value added I like to get out of life. Everything counts. As the great Muhammad Ali once said…
I couldn't have said it better myself.
There's no worse feeling than hearing a doctor telling you have cancer but there's no better feeling than hearing you haven't got cancer and knowing that you haven't got cancer every day you wake up after that… At least until your next check up.
I often wondered what it was like for David living with a person who had an insatiable appetite for life and wanted to see, eat and do all the things. Exhausting, I expect. But then David had a stroke and he developed an insatiable effort for life too. It was a wake up call of the most frightening but enlightening kind.
I don't want to get all doom and gloom here but let's face it, we've had two touches of cancer and one stroke between us and we're not even in our mid forties yet (almost, but not quite!) One thing is for sure though, we do like to pack it all in. Now I wouldn't say that we're living our life with any urgency, because if we were animals we'd be totally be part of the sloth family, but we certainly don't put off tomorrow what we'd like to do today. Because life is happening right now and we don't want to miss it.
In 2014, I went to Disneyland to run the half marathon, to get a Mickey Mouse medal and get closure on cancer. It was a dream fulfilled and a life defining moment. David didn't run the half, but he did join me in the 5k and he made a great job of being my personal half marathon photographer.
Fast forward two years and we're making a return to Disneyland. But his time we're running a 5km, 10km and a Half Marathon on three consecutive days and best of all we're running it together. This is pretty much my dream come true, running in my favourite place, with my favourite person and we'll be bringing home the bling.
But back to that old chestnut, of making things count. On a personal level, this is something truly special. We both feel very blessed that we are healthy enough to make this happen.
But we want it to be bigger than and count for more than that. So that's why we're running Sydney to Disney for the Stroke Foundation and we're turning fundraising into runraising. Our fundraising page is up and running (sorry couldn't help myself!) and just like every day, every penny counts.
If you can support us by splashing some cash, please do because donations make us run faster (kind of) but if you can't then some virtual cheering will be equally awesome. Because I really believe, that together we can make a difference.
Have you ever been to Disneyland? What should we do there when we're not running, of course? Do you have a favourite inspirational quote?

Villers-Farlay est une commune française située dans le département du Jura, en région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

Géographie
La commune est traversée par la Loue au nord et par le ruisseau de la Larine qui la délimite à l'est avec Mouchard et Cramans.

Communes limitrophes

Urbanisme

Typologie
Villers-Farlay est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
La commune est en outre hors attraction des villes.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (52,4 % en 2018), néanmoins en diminution par rapport à 1990 (53,8 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
forêts (39,6 %), terres arables (26,9 %), prairies (20,7 %), zones urbanisées (7,9 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (4,8 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Histoire

Le 14 octobre 1885, un jeune garçon de , nommé Jean-Baptiste Jupille, natif du village voisin de Port-Lesney, gardait un troupeau de moutons dans les pâtures communales de Villers-Farlay. Il fut attaqué et mordu par un chien enragé.

Le maire de Villers-Farlay, Pierre Joseph Perrot, ayant entendu parler du savant Louis Pasteur, mit tout en œuvre pour envoyer l'enfant à Paris où Pasteur lui sauva la vie en appliquant le vaccin antirabique qu'il venait de mettre au point.

Le jeune Jean-Baptiste est historiquement le deuxième patient après Joseph Meister à être sauvé par Pasteur. Ce fait historique fait l'objet d'une fresque murale exposée en la commune de Villers-Farlay, sur le mur de la mairie. Une statue de Pasteur est également érigée place Jupille à titre de souvenir.

Genevieve Hudson's debut novel, Boys of Alabama, tells the story of Max, a shy German teenager with a rare magical power, who emigrates with his parents to Alabama (Hudson's own native state). There, Max finds a place rife with wonders and terrors beyond anything he's ever known. It's a slow-burning exploration of queerness and magic and toxic masculinity—of otherness and the yearning to belong—set against the landscape of the Deep South.
During the early days of the lockdown, Hudson and I talked about obsession, sentences that are more than mere load-bearing devices, and the innumerable definitions of the word "home."
One of my writing teachers, Noy Holland, gave me a piece of advice I'll never forget: "Write towards your obsessions. They're where the gold is." Do you feel you're always circling certain themes, ideas, questions?
I relate to that sentiment a lot. I think we all have these central questions that we're constantly trying to get to the end of, even if we never will. For me, these questions aren't always laid out so obviously that I know what it is that I'm asking. Then, I pull back and see these same ideas cropping up again and again throughout my work. For example, the idea of what it means to feel like an outsider even in a place where you're supposed to belong. What is it like to live with secrets? What is it like to desire something that feels just out of reach? I heard Alexander Chee once talk about how the queer experience can be that of a changeling; you kind of come into your new identity. In a lot of ways, you have bloomed into a new person with a whole new way of being in the world. That experience has endless fascination to me, and it comes up again and again in my work.
In the novel, Max is hypersensitive to everything—smells, sounds, the strangeness of the culture, even the particular quality of the air. There's a sense that he's an alien on a new planet. You grew up in Alabama—what was it like to write about it from the perspective of a foreigner?
I left Alabama when I was eighteen, and for a long time I wanted to put a lot of distance between myself and the Deep South. It was a complicated place for me that had brought me a lot of pain, and yet it still felt like home. When you talk about the South, there's a rich sense of tradition and music and food and civil unrest that comes up in our cultural imagination. There was something about my place there—what it meant to grow up somewhere with that history and that lineage of pain and oppression—that I really felt I needed to explore.
I lived in Amsterdam for six years, and I would go back to the South, and bring my partner, who was Dutch. I think going there with someone foreign and seeing it through their eyes threw it into this new, stranger light. Coming back to the South after being away allowed me to look at familiar things in an unfamiliar way.
There's an approach to writing called "defamiliarization," where you describe something very common or ordinary, like a stone. Viktor Shklovsky, the Russian formalist, talks about how defamiliarization is an attempt to "make the stone stony" again. A stone seems so familiar to us that if somebody says "stone," we don't even really register it. The smoothness, the way it feels in your hand, the way it appears on the ground; we don't even see it. So, how do you get a reader to be confronted with this familiar image in a strange way?
In Boys of Alabama, Max yearns to belong, yet in order to do so he believes he must erase those qualities that make him most special, which is something I think we've all experienced on some level, especially during our teenage years. Can you talk a bit about what it means to you to belong—to find a "home"?
This idea of home—where is home, what is home, and what does it mean to belong—is one of those circular obsessions that we talked about earlier. Periodically, especially when I'm engaging in more essayistic writing, I'll have moments where I'll dig through old journals and try to see what I was thinking at a certain point in my life, or what scenes were going through my head however many years ago. It's always a bizarre experience to see the same questions come up for me over the years, even as I change and evolve and deepen as a person. One that I see come up again and again is this question of "What is home?" I've realized that home is very much something that you take with you. It has to do with developing a really deep sense of self, and a deep sense of belonging, whether you're in the place that you were born or making a new space for yourself. In Alabama, where Max is a true outsider in a cultural sense, his sense of home is really thrown off. He is still grappling with this basic question of, "Who am I? What part of myself can I show to other people? What do I do with the secrets I'm holding?" As long as you're in this deep, internal conflict with these basic parts of yourself, it's hard to feel you can be a part of an external environment, or to feel safe enough to allow yourself to feel at home.
Let's talk about the character of Pan. When it comes to the social and cultural mores of Alabama, he's irreverent—and yet he's still, for the most part, accepted by these football guys, being someone who's "from" there. I found myself constantly revising my idea of who or what he was, whether he was "good" or "bad," how he fit in (or didn't), whether to trust him, whether he had Max's best interests at heart.
What I saw growing up in Alabama—though I don't want to generalize too much—was that no matter what kind of conservative or liberal family you came from, or what class, there was a sense that the kids you grew up with were familiar to you, and that familiarity also bred a sense of family. So, you could have a lot of difference in the way people were developing their identities, and there was a sense of protection and acceptance within that. Pan represents someone who was maybe on a path with these guys from the football team that was maybe going to lead to a more masculine, sports-oriented, God-fearing individual. But he, like a lot of people I was close to in Alabama, veered off onto another path. He became really critical of some of these traditions, and people in his community maybe laughed him off. There's a line in the book where one of the football dads says that he's just testing the limits of what's OK—it's just a phase he's going through. But at the core of it there's an acceptance. Pan is one of them, and there's a deep and abiding love that goes along with that. He is complex, like all of us—there are parts of him that can be trusted, and parts that can't. He is a young boy who is still figuring out what he thinks and believes, and how he's going to be in the world. He has a lot of pain that he's carrying in him, and a lot of fire, and I think he could be a dangerous person to get close to. That danger also comes from a sense of feeling outside of the place he's grown up in; feeling he's growing at a rate that's incompatible with his community with, and having heartbreak, and all of these things. He's trying to synthesize this, and find purpose, and it is coming out in ways that can be unpredictable. He's an unpredictable person for Max to get close to. In my mind, he's not a "bad" character, but he's also not a "good" character. And those dynamics that defy an easy answer are the most interesting things to pursue.
I'm curious about your process when working on a novel as opposed to short fiction. Do you find there's a considerable difference in the way you work when you know the project is going to be longer?
The biggest difference to me when I'm writing shorter pieces versus a novel is the scope of how you develop plot and how you pace things—those were the concerns that felt really new and exasperating and exciting to me, that I was trying to figure out and rework. Throughout all of it I was writing very slowly, and I was trying to think about sentences as I was also orienting myself towards these new, larger concerns of novel-writing. I care a lot about the sentences that I put down, and I think they really influence the way I move forward. Gary Lutz's lecture "The Sentence is a Lonely Place" talks a lot about the role that sentences play in writing and the energy they bring to the page. He says something like, "they should do more than be load-bearing devices that carry along plot." And he gives all these examples of ways that you can make sentences alive and unexpected and interesting and unusual. The sonics of sentences can propel readers forward in a similar way that plot can, by associations and sounds and rhythm. That lights something up in a reader that can create a forward thrust. I'm a slow writer because I'm constantly reworking my sentences. Each day that I sit down to write, I'll read what I wrote before, and edit it on a sentence level for sound and compression. When I move forward, I let the sentences that came before speak to what's coming next. A lot of it has to do with associations between sound and length, the consonants and the vowels, and how it's all working together. It feels almost like I'm putting down music and it can be harder when you're working on a longer piece, because it's easy to get trapped on a micro level like that.
What were you reading while you wrote Boys of Alabama?
To me, reading feels like the lifeblood of writing. It's so vital. It gives you the nutrients you need to be able to think about language in a way that would allow you to sustain a long writing project. I was at MacDowell while I was in the final editing stages of this book, and I read Sula by Toni Morrison. The language really inspired me in terms of strangeness and the integrity of sentences. That felt really important to sit with as I was editing, and to remember, "Don't be lazy." Every sentence needs to matter. Morrison's work felt so beautiful and so crafted and so transcendent that I could not even imagine touching what she did, but it felt important to have something like that to strive toward.
Another book that felt like it was in conversation with Boys of Alabama was Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson. There was something about the language there, also, and just the strangeness of that story, the magic, the longing, the desire, the mythology, that felt like it had resonance with my thinking about my book. I didn't actually read that while I was writing, but it felt like it was inside of me.

A big part of managing expectations in the workplace involves understanding deadlines and making them work for you. There's nothing that makes you look more unprofessional than missing an important (or even unimportant!) deadline—and few things break trust as quickly.
In order to manage such time targets effectively, you might have to proactively renegotiate them at times. Unfortunately, many professionals don't know how to properly do this so they end up creating new problems for themselves when they try. To help ensure this doesn't happen to you, follow these simple steps.
1. Don't agree in the first place.
If you know a deadline is unreasonable from the very beginning, don't accept it. It's your job to educate your colleagues regarding expectations. If they think a task takes much less time than it actually does, inform them of the reality. This will help them better gauge timelines in the future.
To be clear: This doesn't mean you should decline or renegotiate deadlines that stretch you. It's fine to accept something that pushes you past your comfort zone. In fact, that's a requirement in today's workplace. What we're talking about here are deadlines that simply don't make sense given the circumstances (other priorities, time constraints, etc.).
Then, skip to step number 3.
2. The sooner the better.
If you're working with an established deadline you've already agreed to, don't wait until the last minute to tell the necessary parties that it's next to impossible to meet. As soon as you realize there's a chance it can't be done, speak up. Lack of communication is probably the biggest problem most people have with deadline management.
3. Offer a reasonable alternative.
Instead of simply saying you can't meet a deadline, provide a reasonable alternative that can be met. Don't forget to give yourself some wiggle room in there. You can't always predict your workload and Murphy's Law ensures anything that can go wrong will. A good rule of thumb is to "under promise and over deliver." That basically just means your suggested alternative deadline shouldn't be too aggressive. You want to give yourself every opportunity to not only meet but exceed expectations.
Of course, there's no guarantee that your alternative deadline will simply be accepted. Be prepared for this to kick off a negotiation process. Both parties may need to compromise a bit to find a solution that works for everyone.
Keep in mind that you might have to reprioritize some other items to make room for this one within the required time frame. Obviously, it has to make sense to do so. Should it happen, let the other party know that you're going out of your way to meet their needs. This helps to create a feeling of camaraderie. If they know you're willing to shift things around for them, they're more likely to flex a bit on their end as well and they'll be especially appreciative of whatever you can offer.
Whatever you do, don't let yourself get talked into another unreasonable deadline.
Rarely is it acceptable to renegotiate the same deadline twice. Heed the advice in steps 3 and 4 to ensure you don't get stuck again. If it happens, the same rules apply as above. But this time, you absolutely must ensure you can and will meet the new deadline—no exceptions. Repeated renegotiation of a deadline indicates the task or project isn't a priority and perhaps it should be reconsidered.
The key to success in all of this is honest, straightforward and timely communication. There's no need to offer complicated excuses, place blame, or provide a litany of reasons for your renegotiation request. Keep the conversation simple and clearly define what you want/need to successfully resolve the situation. A concise explanation is often appreciated, but don't go overboard. Most people just want to know the bottom line. The question of "why" is less important than figuring out next steps.

Showers Knows Opportunity To Claim Temporary Backup Role On The Table
Nick Eatman
DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer / Senior Manager, Digital Media
FRISCO, Texas – The focus in the locker room on Sunday centered on a rookie named Dak. Although the Cowboys have yet to come out and say it just yet, it seems apparent Dak Prescott will be the starter for a while now that Tony Romo is out.
But what about No. 2? Right now, the only other quarterback on the roster is Jameill Showers, who is expected to get a healthy amount of the snaps Thursday in the preseason finale against Houston.
That was likely to be the case anyway, regardless of Romo's health. But now, as the Cowboys try to find a No. 2 quarterback behind Prescott, the opportunity is on the table for Showers to take full advantage of it. There is a chance the Cowboys will add a veteran, perhaps one that gets released in the next week.
Sunday at practice, Showers took most of the reps once again, something he's been used to this offseason.
"A lot more snaps for me," Showers said on Sunday in the locker room. "Whenever Tony would take a day off, we would all bump up. So Dak would get the 1s, and I'd get the 2s and 3s. That's what we did today."
[embeddedad0]Showers knew the opportunity would be there as soon as he saw Romo on the ground Thursday night in Seattle, with what is now being diagnosed as a fractured L1 vertebra in his back.
"You never want to see anyone go down," Showers said. "I hated it for Tony. Just to see him like that was a scary sight for us, knowing how hard he has worked to get back. So you feel for him. But at the same time, Coach Garrett always talks about opportunity. This is definitely an opportunity for me and I have to make the most of it."
And that will likely come Thursday night against the Texans, a game Showers could end up starting, if the Cowboys decide to sit Prescott.
"They haven't told us how much we will play Thursday but I have to assume I'm going to get a lot of the snaps, if not all of them," he said. "So I'll be ready for that. I'm excited for that chance. I know I can't put too much pressure on myself. I have to play within myself. But at the same time, I'll be prepared because I know this is an important opportunity for me."

Scientists have isolated human muscle stem cells and shown that the cells could repair damaged muscles, paving the way for potential treatments for severe muscle injury, paralysis or muscular dystrophy.
"We've shown definitively that these are bonafide stem cells that can self-renew, proliferate and respond to injury," said Jason Pomerantz, an assistant professor at University of California, San Francisco.
When muscles are badly damaged, they can lose the native populations of stem cells that are needed to heal.
This has posed a major roadblock for treating patients crippled by muscle injury and paralysis, particularly in the critical small muscles of the face, hand and eye, Pomerantz said.
Surgeons have shown remarkable success at restoring nerves in damaged muscles, but if the process takes too long the stem cell pool and capacity for regeneration is lost, these injured muscles fail to connect to the nerve tissue, causing their power to wither away.
So-called "satellite cells" dot the borders of muscle fibres and - at least in mice - were known to act as stem cells to contribute to muscle growth and repair.
Until now, however, it was not clear whether human satellite cells worked the same way or how to isolate them from human tissue samples and adapt them to help treat patients with muscle damage.
The researchers obtained surgical biopsies of muscles of the head, trunk and leg, and used antibody staining to show that human satellite cells can be identified by their co-expression of the transcription factor PAX7 with surface proteins CD56 and CD29.
This molecular signature enabled the research team to isolate populations of human satellite cells from the patient biopsies and graft them into mice with damaged muscles whose own muscle stem-cell populations had been depleted.
Within five weeks, the human cells successfully integrated into the mouse muscles and divided to produce families of daughter stem cells, replenishing the stem cell niche and repairing the damaged tissue.
This characterisation of human muscle stem cells and the ability to transplant them into injured muscles has wide-ranging implications for patients suffering from muscle paralysis, whose damaged muscles have lost the ability to regenerate.
"This gives us hope that we will be able to extract healthy stem cells from other muscles in the patient's body and transplant them at the site of injury," Pomerantz said.
The study was published in the journal Stem Cell Reports.

NHL playoffs full of intriguing storylines
Posted on April 16, 2014 by Taber Times
It's April, and with the coming of the rains and meltwater comes a flood of great hockey with the start of the NHL playoffs.
It's that time of the year when we go crazy over our sport, racing home from work, six-pack in hand, to catch the Eastern Conference games at 5 p.m. before settling in for the tougher western hockey that follows later.
As a Flames fan, I'll admit the playoffs aren't quite as awesome this year as they could be with Calgary in the mix, but my team had a great season as far as rebuilds are concerned. Anytime I start to feel a little blue about my team's prospects, all I have to do is look a bit further north to the hapless Oilers and it makes me smile. (Flames fans actually have another name for Alberta's other team that rhymes with "Oilers," but it's not fit to print in a paper as awesome as The Times).
Along with the great hockey comes the real reason I love pro sports. Believe it or not, it's the storylines! Not only do we get to watch rivalries and dramas unfold from game to game as teams battle it out for a chance at epic hockey glory, but there are a number of overarching storylines for this year's playoffs I'm really looking forward to.
For example, will the San Jose Sharks finally shake off their playoff demons and prove their reputation for being playoff flounders wrong once and for all?
Do the Montreal Canadians have what it takes to shoulder Canada's hopes and dreams in the east and rekindle some of the magic of hockey's most storied franchise?
Can the Chicago Blackhawks pull off a repeat of their Stanley Cup run last year and be the first team to win back-to-back Stanley Cups in nearly 20 years?
Just how long will Jarome Iginla's playoff beard get?
That last one is of particular interest to me, because I loved Iggy as the face of the Calgary Flames and was sad to see him go. I'm pretty conflicted though, because as much as I love Iginla, I hate his current team. The Boston Bruins are a bunch of thugs, in my opinion, and this isn't just spoken as a bitter Flames fan. It's also speaking as a bitter Leafs fan.
As much as I love playoff hockey, however, there is something that bothers me every year. In my previous life as a reporter in Claresholm, I had many conversations with my editor there about how the "let-them-play" mentality hurts the sport during the quest for the Cup.
I understand the reasoning behind it, and I can even appreciate it a bit. Nobody wants to see tough hockey tempered by an endless line of players headed to the box. Nobody wants to see a series decided by too many infractions called, or games where the teams spend all their time either attacking on the powerplay, or defending against them. By not calling the penalties, it's viewed as allowing the players to decide their own fates. And that's a pretty noble sentiment, but it's completely wrong.
By not calling penalties, the only thing happening is that everybody is playing from the position of the lesser- skilled players. In this lack of rules, players get injured, plays break down into chaos, and slower, dirtier players have a huge advantage over high-skill players.
Think about it. What takes more skill: to weave through a team's defence on your way to the net or to get halfway there and have your legs chopped out from under you by some guy who can't turn around fast enough? Worse, these plays then create scoring chances because the tripped player is on the ice and the puck is going the other way.
In my opinion, this is a big reason why so many high-skill players underperform in the playoffs, and why so many guys who do nothing in the regular season become playoff stars. They are finally allowed to feed lumber to their opponents and get their brick hands on the puck.
So the idea that refs not calling penalties is somehow a more pure form of the sport is a complete and utter load of Oilers. The refs are manipulating the play by allowing teams to cheat with impunity. Let's look at the Boston Bruins again. Take away their ability to bog down skill players by being nasty, and all they have left is Jarome Iginla and Zdeno Chara's ability to break feet with his slapshots. Like I said. Thug life, yo.
So if you catch me screaming at the television in the next few months, it's a sure bet that I'm yelling at the refs to get off the ice if they're not going to do their jobs.
Or I might be yelling at some neanderthal to dish the puck over to Iggy. Or I might just be yelling because a hoarse voice goes naturally with a full, rich playoff beard, hot wings and cold beer, and the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Remember kids: Pain is temporary, but Stanley Cup glory is forever!


There are only a few steps involved in running a sketch on an Arduino board, and this post will take you through it step-by-step, making it quick and easy!
You'll need an Arduino board, a USB cable and Arduino software on your computer to follow along. Oh – and about 5 minutes of time.
Also, using a Lilypad Main board or Lilypad USB have slightly different details and they are covered in a different post.
Once a sketch has been loaded or written you need to upload it to your board. Grab your Arduino and your USB cable, plug both ends of the cable in – one to your computer and one to the Arduino.
Give your computer a moment to find the device and then in the Arduino Program we need to check we have the right board and port selected.
Yours will be similar. If in doubt : try one – if it is incorrect you will get an error message that the device can not be found.
or an error message is displayed asking you to choose the correct port when you try to upload the code overtop of the programming window.
All that is left to do is to upload your code to the Arduino.
The sketch will compile and upload to the board if all is well.
When the code is uploading, you will see the RX/TX lights on your arduino board flickering, this happens as it's transmitting data so that's often another good indication that something is happening! So be sure to have a look at your board if you're uncertain.
If there are errors it will list them in the bottom half of the window in red.
Some common errors is just making sure the correct board / port is selected, sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting also solves initial issues.
You may have just forgotten to put ";" at the end of a line of code!

Trademark And Cybersquatting Attorneys For Buy.com File Trademark Infringement, Lanham Act Unfair Competition And Cybersquatting Lawsuit To Stop Alleged Cybersquatter Of Domain Name In Santa Ana, CA
May 15, 2008 | Milord A. Keshishian
Santa Ana, CA – Trademark and anti-cybersquatting attorneys for Buy.com filed a trademark infringement, Lanham Act unfair competition, cyberquatting, and California Business and Professions Code §17200 lawsuit in Federal District Court in Santa Ana against an alleged cybersquatter of the buys.com domain name. Buy.com has been an e-commerce company since 1997 and has operated the website buy.com to market and sell products since at least 1998. Buy.com owns three relevant trademarks related to its business, which marks are registered on the Principal Register of the USPTO. Buy.com alleges that "throughout the past 10 years, Plaintiff has used the buy.com trademarks to build and establish considerable goodwill in the online retail industry. In fact, through the use of these trademarks, Plaintiff is universally recognized as a leader in e-commerce and as a provider of superior goods and services, and is visited by over 5 million US shoppers each month."
The complaint continues, "Defendant is the registrant of the Internet domain name buys.com [with an additional "s"]. Defendant uses the buys.com website to profit from the Buy.com trademarks. Specifically, Defendant's buys.com website contains numerous advertisements for and/or hyperlinks to a variety of products and services that compete directly with Plaintiff, such as eBay and Dell. Upon information and belief, Defendant receives a payment when Internet users click on one or more links or advertisements on the buys.com website . . . By using the buys.com domain name that is confusingly similar to Plaintiff's trademarks Defendant was and is creating, or attempting to create, an association between the buys.com domain name and Plaintiff, and has frustrated or diverted Internet traffic intended for Plaintiff." The complaint asserts the following causes of action: (1) Federal trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1114; (2) False designation of origin and unfair competition under section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a); (3) Cybersquatting under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d); (4) California common law unfair competition; (5) Unfair competition under California Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200; (6) Common law unfair competition; and (7) Declaratory Judgment under 28 U.S.C. §2201. The case is titled: Buy.com, Inc. v. Webmagic Ventures, LLC, SACV08-00510 JVS (C.D. Cal. 2008).

As with any sport, all sepak takraw training sessions should start with warm-up exercises. Often requiring a high amount of flexibility, agility, and strength, sepak takraw players should ensure that their muscles are properly warmed up before beginning any activities on the court.
Simple stretches would be a good way to start the warm-up session. Find a comfortable position on the ground, and sit cross-legged. Stretch out a leg in front of you and bend to touch your toes, all while keeping your body lengthened and pressed close to your knee, with your chin reaching out for your ankle as far as possible. Hold in this position for half a minute, relax, then repeat this stretch with the other leg.
After stretching, move on to running a simple obstacle course made out of cones, in order to train your speed and agility. Place five cones in a straight line and run, zig-zag, through the cones. Repeat this activity, but run backwards this time.
Having finished the basic drills, it is now time to work with a ball. Begin by familiarising yourself with the feel of the ball with some low inside kicks - that is, hitting the ball with the inside of your foot. Pass the ball from your left to your right foot while keeping it in the air at all times. Do so continuously for about a minute. Rest, then repeat.
Next, work on some simple passes. Pair up with a teammate, and stand opposite each other. Do some basic low passes using the inside kick. Increase the distance between the both of you with each pass for an added challenge. Team up with another pair after, say, fifteen minutes of activity. Stand in a square, with each player in a corner, and work with just one ball.
Having completed the simpler exercises, you may now progress to practising the more complex kicks and spikes. Have a teammate or coach feed you balls over the net and work on one type of kick at a time, till you are satisfied with your performance. Do the same with other variations.
Finally, split up into two teams and play a friendly match! This not only helps you to understand the rules of the game better, but also simulates real competition conditions.

March 2018 Update
Woah. March. So much to tell you about. Let's start with the readings!
First, we had this wonderful reading at Kirkwood Community College. There are three of of us at the college who are science fiction writers, so Dennis Green, Jed Petersen and I had a wonderful event. It was great.
Next, I journeyed to California. Chris Cornell, Karl Dandenell and I read at Fogcon and at Book Passage. I also had a good time hooking up with my agent Mary C. Moore.
As I write this, I'm at the TESOL conference in Chicago, so it has been a month of much traveling, and while I've been having a wonderful time getting out and about, I'm ready to stay home for a while.
Writing-wise, I've been pinning down my first draft of my middle-grade hopeful Abigail Rath Versus Mad Science. For those of you who have encountered Abby before, you can expect more encounters with the supernatural. Some of you also might remember Dr. Lila Blake from…places, and yes, she does make an appearance in this book. I am making steady progress. My fine beta readers are sending me feedback on The Pawn of Isis, which I'll work on as soon as the Abby draft is in hand.
So, April. What's happening in April? A whole lot of writing, and this event:
If you're in Ankeny, Iowa, please come and see me. I'll be selling The Vessel of Ra, and copies of The Abandoned Places Anthology from Shohola Press. Good stuff.

Fantastic History #1: What's Different and Who Knows About It? by Kate Heartfield
Chopping books into finer and finer categories of sub-genre should never become a dogmatic exercise. But sometimes it can be helpful, as writers and as readers, to have a sense of a book's internal logic. When I sit down to start planning a new historical fantasy, I ask myself: What's different about the world, and who knows about it?
There's something askew about the world I'm writing about, or it wouldn't be speculative fiction. It's our world, but different.
Next question: Who knows about this?
Option 1: Secret history. Only certain people know about the existence of magic or the supernatural element. It is not reported in the newspapers. World events unfold largely as they did in our own history. The fantastic element doesn't change the course of our history, it explains it. The author's invented plots happen behind closed doors, off the official record.
Option 2: Alternate history. Everyone knows about the fantastic element, whether it's magic, or dragons, or sentient IKEA furniture. People talk about it at the breakfast table. The historical record is already different from our own, so anything's possible.
An example of an alternate-history fantasy is The House of Shattered Wings by Aliette de Bodard, which posits a 20th-century Paris that has been ruined by a long magical war. An example of secret history is Hide Me Among the Graves by Tim Powers, in which the existence of vampire-like creatures explains real events in the lives of the Pre-Raphaelite poets and artists of the 19th century.
You can have alternate history that isn't fantasy. Alternate history answers the question, what if? What if the dodo never went extinct? What if Berlin was never divided? One great example of alternate history that doesn't contain any supernatural elements is The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon, which considers what would have happened if the United States had provided land in Alaska for Jewish refugees during the Second World War. All the laws of physics still apply, in this kind of alternate history. The only speculative element there is at a meta-level, in the positing of a different timeline.
You can also have secret history that isn't fantasy. In fact, most or all of what gets shelved as "historical fiction" falls into this category. All the big, documented events are unchanged, but the behind-the-scenes conversations may be invented, and to some extent, the characters and their motivations are the product of the writer's imagination. If a minor plot point deviates from history, it's for reasons of artistic license, not speculative world-building. Hilary Mantel's brilliant book Wolf Hall is an example of secret history without fantastic elements. It tells the story of Thomas Cromwell and the court of Henry VIII.
I write both kinds of historical fantasy.
My first novel, Armed in Her Fashion, is coming out in May, 2018. It is very much an alternate history; early on, this line appears: "In the year of our Lord 1326, a woman drove the beast called Hell up to the surface of the Earth."
My second novel, The Humours of Grub Street, is a secret history, scheduled for 2019 or 2020. It posits that real historical events in London in 1703 can be attributed to witchcraft, and that the true history has been kept secret.
Both approaches to historical fantasy—alternate and secret—have their appeal. Both explore the uncanny valley between the familiar and unfamiliar. In both cases, writers have to wrestle with how the supernatural affects the world. In alternate history, that often means applying the changes to the world itself. In secret history, that means coming up with reasons why the wider world hasn't changed, despite the existence of the supernatural within it.
Alternate history reminds us how fragile history is. It illuminates the strangeness of real history by showing that our world might not be as different as we think. Take the magician Jonathan Strange's rather fraught declaration (in Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell) that while a magician might be able to kill a man by magic, "a gentleman never could." Even in a world where everything's different, everything's the same.
Secret history reminds us that the causes that move history are sometimes private and unseen. It illuminates the strangeness of history by showing that supernatural explanations are no weirder than real life: take, for example, Dante Gabriel Rossetti opening his wife's grave to retrieve a book of poems, a real event that figures in Hide Me Among the Graves. Is it weirder to imagine that there was something supernatural going on, or that there wasn't?
Kate Heartfield is a writer in Ottawa, Canada. Her first novel, a historical fantasy called Armed in Her Fashion, is coming from ChiZine Publications in May. Her interactive fiction based on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, The Road to Canterbury, is coming this spring from Choice of Games. She has two time-travel novellas on the way from Tor.com, and is the author of one novella in the collection Monstrous Little Voices: New Tales from Shakespeare's Fantasy World, from Abaddon Books. Her short fiction has appeared in places such as Lackington's, Strange Horizons and Podcastle. Website: heartfieldfiction.com. Twitter: @kateheartfield

It's been a harrowing, emotional roller-coaster ride.
Another mass killing by another gunman mowing down innocents.
As Le Devoir columnist Francine Pelletier astutely pointed out, Alexandre Bissonnette was all too reminiscent of Marc Lépine of the Polytechnique massacre: a young, white, male misfit with a murderous resentment and a well-thought out plan.
Only one man hated Muslims and the other women.
By week's end my feelings also included some pride, as Quebecers and Canadians stood up en masse with vigils and speeches of support for our Muslim community.
Many Quebec leaders are behaving like I wish they always did. Premier Philippe Couillard has handled the tragedy like a true statesman showing grace, compassion and strong principles — with no partisan one-upsmanship toward other parties.
He has been the premier I've missed for some time.
Quebec's Mayor Régis Labeaume seemed genuinely overwhelmed and soul-searching, for a man who's made some insensitive comments about Muslim clothing.
The same change in tone is true of CAQ's François Legault, of ban-the-burkini fame. Also former Charter warrior Jean-François Lisée, who's now admitted he shouldn't have talked about women hiding AK-47s under their burkas.
I hope their conversion sticks.
Most remarkable are Quebec City Muslims who've been forgiving and affectionate toward their adopted home town. People like Mohamed Khabar, a Quebec City barber in intensive care for a gunshot wound, who continues to say how much he "loves and adores" Quebec City.
Their dignity and generosity during this terrible week is a reminder of why immigrants are such a gift to our society.
A critic might add it's also given him a respite from controversies over Liberal Party financing and his Aga Khan free vacations. But it has brought out the best in him and us, at least for the moment.
The Quebec attack meshed eerily with the Trump government's travel ban on Muslims, announced only two days earlier — making it a grim week for xenophobia.
Meanwhile Trump's press secretary announced, incredibly, that the Quebec shooting was a 'terrible reminder" of why the U.S. needed its crackdown on immigrants from seven Muslim countries.
A Caucasian, born-in-Quebec gunman slaughtered innocent Muslims during prayers, and this somehow proves we should keep out Muslims?
Did Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric play any role in setting off Bissonnette, reportedly a big fan of the new president? … Who can know? Yet one thing is certain: leaders should be defusing tensions between cultures and countries, not inflaming and dividing them.
Similar questions are being asked here in Quebec about what if anything is to blame. Have our endless identity debates and trash-talk radio show rants about immigrants heated up the emotional climate – and made it easier to hate?
Let's hope the horror of the past week makes us all pause before opening our mouths the next time a daycare worker shows up in a headscarf, or a non-Muslim accidentally eats a mis-labeled halal brochette.
This week's coming-together is inspiring but can it last, and help us re-evaluate our "values"? Quebec has been exemplary in welcoming its Syrian refugees and more Muslims than any province in Canada.
But Quebec City's Muslim community has also revealed they've been turning the other cheek to many racist remarks and incidents.
Hate crimes toward Muslim-Canadians more than doubled in the past three years — and just this Thursday a Montreal mosque was vandalized. Each time we're indifferent to racist remarks, or a pig's head placed outside a mosque, we quietly encourage haters to go one step further.
In the U.S. every mass shooting leads to angst and heated discussion about gun control and lone wolves, and what can be done to stop the killing.
But I've long stopped paying attention to the debate because it just goes round in circles, while nothing changes. My hope for Quebec is that last week's tragedy does have a lasting effect.

The Genesis Nomad, also known as Sega Nomad, is a handheld game console manufactured by Sega and released in North America in October 1995. The Nomad is a portable variation of the Sega Genesis home video game console (known as the Mega Drive outside North America). It could also be used with a television set via a video port. It was based on the Mega Jet, a portable version of the home console designed for use on airline flights in Japan.

The Nomad was the last handheld console released by Sega. Released late in the Genesis era, it had a short lifespan. It was sold exclusively in North America, and uses regional lockout. Sega's focus on the Sega Saturn left the Nomad under-supported, and it was incompatible with several Genesis peripherals, including the Power Base Converter, the Sega CD, and the 32X. About 1 million units of the Nomad were sold, and it is considered a commercial failure.

History

The Sega Genesis was Sega's entry into the 16-bit era of video game consoles. In Japan, Sega released the Mega Jet, a portable version of the Mega Drive for use on Japan Airlines flights. The Mega Jet requires a connection to a television screen and a power source, and so outside of airline flights can only be used in cars equipped with a television set and cigarette lighter receptacle. On planes, the Mega Jet was connected into armrest monitors. It had a limited consumer release in Japanese department stores in 1994, but did not see success.

Planning to release a new handheld console to succeed the Game Gear, Sega originally intended to produce a system with a touchscreen interface two years before the Game.com handheld by Tiger Electronics. However, touchscreen technology was expensive at the time, so Sega instead released the Genesis Nomad, a handheld version of the Genesis. The development codename was "Project Venus". Sega hoped to capitalize on the Genesis's popularity in North America. At the time, the Genesis Nomad was the only handheld console that could connect to a television.

The Nomad was released in October 1995 in North America only. The release was five years into the market span of the Genesis, with an existing library of more than 500 Genesis games. While Sega Technical Institute's The Ooze was originally planned as a launch game, it was not included. According to former Sega of America research and development head Joe Miller, the Nomad was not intended to replace the Game Gear, and Sega had few plans for the new handheld. Sega was supporting five different consoles: Saturn, Genesis, Game Gear, Pico, and the Master System, as well as the Sega CD and 32X add-ons. In Japan, the Mega Drive had never been successful and the Saturn was more successful than Sony's PlayStation, so Sega Enterprises CEO Hayao Nakayama decided to focus on the Saturn, resulting in the end of support for the Genesis and Genesis-based products. Additionally, the Game Boy, Nintendo's handheld console that had been dominant in the market, became even more dominant with the release of Pokémon Red and Blue.  This meant the Nomad was not successful. By 1999, the Nomad was being sold at less than a third of its original price.

Technical specifications

Similar to the Genesis and the Mega Jet, the Nomad's main CPU is a Motorola 68000. Possessing similar memory, graphics, and sound capabilities, the Nomad is nearly identical to the full-size console; the only variation is that it is completely self-sufficient. The Nomad has a 3.25 inch diagonal backlit color LC display and an A/V output that allows the Nomad to be played on a television screen. Design elements of the handheld were made similar to the Game Gear, but included six buttons for full compatibility with later Genesis releases. Also included were a red power switch, headphone jack, volume dial, and separate controller input for multiplayer games. The controller port functions as player 2, so single-player games cannot be played with a Genesis controller. The Nomad could be powered by an AC adapter, a battery recharger known as the Genesis Nomad PowerBack, or six AA batteries, which provide a battery life of two to three hours. The Nomad consumed more power (DC 9V, 3.5W) than Sega's earlier portable gaming console, the Game Gear (DC 9V, 3W).

The Nomad is fully compatible with several Genesis peripherals, including the Sega Activator, Team Play Adaptor, Mega Mouse, and the Sega Channel and XBAND network add-ons.  However, the Nomad is not compatible with the Power Base Converter, Sega CD, or 32X.  This means the Nomad can only play Genesis games, whereas the standard Genesis can also play Master System, Sega CD, and 32X games with the respective add-ons.

Game library

The Nomad does not have its own game library, but instead plays Genesis games. At the time of its launch, the Nomad had over 500 games available for play. However, no pack-in game was included. The Nomad can boot unlicensed, homebrew, and bootleg games made for the Genesis. Some earlier third-party games have compatibility issues when played on the Nomad, but can be successfully played through the use of a Game Genie. Likewise, due to its lack of compatibility with any of the Genesis' add-ons, it is unable to play any games for the Sega Master System, Sega CD, or Sega 32X. The Nomad employs two different regional lockout methods, physical and software, but methods have been found to bypass these.

Reception and legacy
Reviewing the Nomad shortly after launch, Game Players considered the price of $179 "a bit steep", but said it was the best portable system on the market, and recommended it over the stock Genesis since it could play all the same games in a portable format. In a 1997 year-end review, a team of four Electronic Gaming Monthly editors gave the Nomad scores of 8.0, 6.5, 7.0, and 7.5. They praised its support for the entire Genesis library, but criticized its hefty battery usage and noted that despite a recent price drop, it was still expensive enough to discourage interested consumers. While they generally complimented the screen display, they remarked that its small size makes it difficult to play certain games. Sushi-X declared the Nomad the best portable gaming system then on the market, while his three co-reviewers had more misgivings, saying it has merits but might not be a worthwhile buy. However, in their first 1996 review, reviewers from Electronics Gaming Monthly noted that the screen suffers from display motion blur, particularly during fast scrolling.

Blake Snow of GamePro listed the Nomad as fifth on his list of the "10 Worst-Selling Handhelds of All Time", criticizing its poor timing into the market, inadequate advertising, and poor battery life. Scott Alan Marriott of Allgame placed more than simply timing into reasons for the Nomad's lack of sales, stating, "The reason for the Nomad's failure may have very well been a combination of poor timing, company mistrust and the relatively high cost of the machine (without a pack-in). Genesis owners were too skittish to invest in another 16-bit system." Stuart Hunt of Retro Gamer, however, praised the Nomad, saying in a retrospective that Nomad was "the first true 16-bit handheld" and declared it the best variant of the Genesis. He noted the collectability of the Nomad, due to its low production, and stated, "Had Sega cottoned on to the concept of the Nomad before the Mega Drive 2, and rolled it out as a true successor to the Mega Drive ... then perhaps Sega may have succeeded in its original goal to prolong the life of the Mega Drive in the U.S." In 2017 a mod was developed to allow the Nomad to charge power using USB devices.

Valér Fábry, rodným jménem Valerián Fenyvési (28. května 1910 Budapešť - 25. října 1999 Praha) byl československý právník maďarského původu, zabývající se zejména právní úpravou zemědělských družstev, který v 50. a 60. letech zastával vedoucí pozice na Právnické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy.

Život a dílo
Narodil se 28. května 1910 v Budapešti do středostavovské židovské rodiny. Po vyhlášení Maďarské republiky rad s rodinou uprchl do Československa. Vystudoval reálné gymnázium v Kežmaroku a následně se zapsal na Právnickou fakultu Univerzity Karlovy. V roce 1931 vstoupil do Komunistické strany Československa. O rok později založil v Nové Bani místní skupinu Svazu přátel SSSR, v důsledku čehož přišel o místo solicitátora v advokátní kanceláři v Žilině, kde si přivydělával ke studiu. Z pražské právnické fakulty přestoupil na Právnickou fakultu Univerzity Komenského v Bratislavě, kde studium práv dokončil roku 1934. Poté pracoval jako pojišťovací úředník v bratislavské pobočce Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtá. Roku 1937 odešel do advokacie a začal pracovat jako advokátní koncipient.

Po vzniku Slovenského štátu uprchl do Velké Británie, kde se živil jako elektrosvářeč. Poté, co Německo zaútočilo na Sovětský svaz, se přihlásil do čs. zahraniční armády. Sloužil jako letecký technik u 312. československé stíhací perutě Royal Air Force. Byl vyznamenán Československou medailí za chrabrost před nepřítelem a medailí Za zásluhy II. stupně. Roku 1945 se vrátil do osvobozeného Československa a změnil si jméno na Valér Fábry. Ozbrojené síly opustil v hodnosti podporučíka letectva.

Od srpna roku 1945 pracoval v sekretariátu ministra zemědělství Júlia Ďuriše jako legislativní a národohospodářský referent. Působil také v zemědělském aparátu Komunistické strany Slovenska a v legislativní sekci právní rady ÚV KSČ. Roku 1950 začal externě přednášet na Právnické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy. V říjnu roku 1951 tu nastoupil jako odborný asistent na katedře správního práva. Věnoval se zejména otázkám zemědělské správy. Zasloužil se o to, že roku 1953 XII. sekce ČSAV uznala zemědělsko-družstevní právo za samostatné právní odvětví. Valér Fábry se stal jedním z předních odborníků na zemědělsko-družstevní právo. Byl považován za jeho zakladatele. Byl předsedou komise zemědělskodružstevního práva v Ústavu státu a práva ČSAV a členem poradního sboru ministra zemědělství. Když roku 1963 na pražské právnické fakultě vznikla samostatná katedra pracovního a zemědělskodružstevního práva, stal se Valér Fábry jejím vedoucím. V čele katedry zůstal do roku 1970, kdy byla katedra při reorganizačních změnách zrušena. Valér Fábry byl posléze převeden na katedru správního práva, od roku 1975 po dalších organizačních změnách přešel na katedru hospodářského práva. Oboru zemědělsko-družstevního práva se však věnoval i nadále. Přenášel také na Vysoké škole stranické při ÚV KSČ.

Roku 1956 dosáhl docentury na základě obhajoby práce na téma Zemědělsko-družstevní právo, která byla později vydána ČSAV a v Sovětském svazu vyšla i v ruském překladu. Jeho další významnou prací byly Základní otázky československého pozemkového práva. Roku 1959 byl jmenován profesorem. V letech 1958-1961 zastával funkci děkana Právnické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy, v letech 1966-1969 zastával na téže fakultě funkci proděkana pro vědeckou práci. Obdržel Vyznamenání Za zásluhy o výstavbu.

Instead couples appear to be foregoing such kitchen extravagances and poling to the slightly more practical. When answering their wonderful friends and family, who wish to give a little something, in a refreshing change to pointing them towards a list filled with lampshades and draught excluders, they are requesting a monetary contribution of some kind. This can be said to be for any number of things; new house, home improvements, car? …my favourite and I think most popular is the honeymoon. There's no getting around it, weddings are expensive and to then save for a fancy holiday after is sometimes stretching the budget a little too far. This can therefore be a great solution and a good way to free up some extra funds for the wedding itself! Though I would still suggest putting some money aside to start the fund off.
It's not only the boring financial benefits of having a honeymoon from the generosity of your guests but it sets you off into married life with a burst of spontaneity! You get to sit down and search for the perfect last minute deal and then head off, perfect! Not only that your guests get the pleasure of seeing your honeymoon pics and know they contributed to that happiness, what could be better?! Now I'm not saying the tradition of a gift list should be lost, for some the gifts are the perfect reminder of their special day and the guests that attended. For me I like the idea and spontaneity of a last minute holiday, not only that but actually using your guests gift and enjoying it.
Just know that there is more than one option out there. Anyway enough of me rambling on! Have a great day and we'll catch up soon!
