The battle of the wine in Haro, Spain is a Spanish fiesta like no other. It is messy, wet, hot and sticky but undoubtedly exuberant, crazy, juvenile and magnificent. Seriously, its total pure superfluous fun and frivolity in a totally unique location. This is an event everyone should aim to tick off their travelling wish list.
On Saint Peters Day (El dia de San Pedro), which is June 29th every year, the population of 11,500 in the central Rioja town of Haro swells to almost double that, and early on the morning of the 29th it descends into outright "Wine Warfare" in the chaotic and spectacular "Battle of the Wine". The history of Batalla del Vino dates back to the 6th century.
The Haro Wine Festival is held each year from the 28th to the 30th of June with the major focus being the Haro wine battle itself. Most combatants adorn the traditional red and white garb, then at 7am on the 29th, follow the mayor of Haro (who is on horseback) on a 7km procession out of town, up into the cliffs of Bilibio, to the Hermitage of San Felices. A flag is then ceremoniously located and a short mass is endured before red, wet carnage ensues and everyone covers each other with wine splashed from all manner of containers like buckets, cups, bottles, jugs and even water pistols.
The Haro Wine Festival was only proclaimed as a festival of both national and touristic interest in 1965 but it is roots can be dated back much further. In fact, it was way back in the early part of the 13th century that the seeds of the modern day Haro Wine Festival were sown when the neighbouring village of Miranda del Ebro and the residents of Haro were in dispute over town lines incorporating the nearby mountains.
Haro itself is famous for its fine red Rioja wine and accounts for a large proportion of all Riojas produced. It is also home to many of the great bodegas in Rioja and has an important architectural and cultural heritage. The picturesque buildings and small winding streets of the old town were declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1975 by the Spanish government and are kept well preserved.
Now you know more about this fantastic fiesta read more about the history of the wine fight, find out how best to get yourself and friends to Haro and where to stay in Haro, Spain.

ART SG, the new international art fair for Singapore and Southeast Asia, brings together over 150 leading galleries from around the world to Singapore on 12 – 15 January 2023 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre. Presented by Founding and Lead Partner UBS and organised by The Art Assembly, ART SG offers a meeting point in Southeast Asia for collectors around the world to convene in one of the most dynamic cultural landscapes globally. This marks the launch of the first fair of such scale and international significance in the region. ART SG has just unveiled the initial programme highlights, and First Release Tickets for the fair are now on sale.
As a key hub within the Southeast Asia region, home to some of the fastest growing economies in the world, Singapore has a dynamic cultural scene. As a gateway to the region, Singapore is a nexus for the region's extensive and knowledgeable collector base to connect with artists, curators and cultural stakeholders. Co-timed with Singapore Art Week, ART SG will be a critical meeting point for international galleries and collectors.
Across ART SG, visitors will be able to see exceptional artworks from the region and worldwide. In addition to the main GALLERIES sector, ART SG will present FOCUS, a contextualised sector featuring galleries presenting solo or duo artist programmes, or curated thematic presentations, FUTURES, a sector dedicated to supporting young galleries under the age of six years, presenting specially created presentations for ART SG, and REFRAME, for galleries presenting art that is engaged with, made or presented using digital technology, which includes digital painting, animation, immersive installations, augmented or virtual reality, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The fair will also present public art programmes of large-scale site-specific installations, a curated film sector, as well as critical and thought-provoking talks and education. For this year's edition, the Film sector will be curated by Thai curator Gridthiya Gaweewong, the Artistic Director of the Jim Thompson Art Center in Bangkok who was recently appointed the Artistic Director of the Thailand Biennale 2023. The Talks programme will be curated by Cosmin Costinas, former Executive Director of Para Site, and the upcoming Director of the Biennale of Sydney in 2024.
"The inaugural ART SG will showcase unmissable presentations from leading regional and global galleries. The different sectors across the fair demonstrate the scale and quality of Asia's cultural landscape, where international audiences can experience the best contemporary art from Southeast Asia and around the world. We are thrilled to be working with two leading curators this year, Gridithya Gaweewong and Cosmin Costinas, who will bring together some of the most exciting creative voices in today's international contemporary art community," said Magnus Renfrew, Co-Founder, ART SG.
"We are truly excited to celebrate the rich diversity of art not only from Singapore and Southeast Asia, but from all corners of the world. From new modalities of painting to contemporary practice in sculpture, installations and stimulating conceptual works, as well as experimentations in technology-driven art, we hope the inaugural edition of ART SG will provide collectors, galleries, and art-lovers alike a vital opportunity for discovery, exchange and discourse," commented Shuyin Yang, Fair Director, ART SG.

Marketing /
Australian company takes gold at prestigious awards
29 December 2019 Lyall Russell
Tucked away in London's Savoy Hotel, leading property companies gathered for the International Property Awards.
Brand & Co was recognised at the 29th annual awards ceremony with the best marketing development award for the Asia-Pacific region.
The strategic branding and design agency for prestige real estate was up against 76 other countries to become the first Australian company to receive this prize.
Industry talent from Australia was active at the London event, where nine awards were claimed.
Among Brand & Co's marketing opportunities was the chance to execute a strategic marketing campaign to launch the $50 million residential and lifestyle precinct, One Sydney Park.
"We saw this project as a unique opportunity to tell the story of transformation from an underutilised industrial area to an exemplar of biophilic design and urban greenery, on a level not seen before," Brand & Co managing director Anthony Moulton said.
The award from the International Property Awards could not have come at a better time, as the company marks its 20th year.
"Celebrating our 20th year in business, it's a fantastic way for our team to end another hugely successful year and to be recognised on the world stage for property marketing excellence," he said.
The company has strengthened its brand and gone global, as it has new, luxury projects in Vietnam and Hong Kong that will shape its direction.
"Brand & Co is at the apex of agency success due to both our team's deep understanding of consumer brand love and our ability to humanise technology-led, brand campaigns — keeping the technology real is crucial to future success," Mr Moulton said.

The time for glyphosate-based herbicides is over
In February last year a group of international scientists published a consensus statement drawing attention to the risks posed by rising levels of exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs), especially in the light of glyphosate's classification by the World Health Organization's cancer agency IARC as a probable carcinogen. The scientists noted endocrine (hormone) disrupting effects of glyphosate herbicides in test-tube experiments and called for more studies to clarify whether levels present in foods and the environment can cause such effects in living humans.
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) have harmful effects on experimental mammals that are widely used as human surrogates at concentrations as low as parts per billion (ppb) and below.
Later in the year, the New York Times reported that GM glyphosate-tolerant crops have significantly increased the use of glyphosate-based herbicides in the US. This news was closely followed by the publication of a report by Food Democracy Now and the Detox Project showing high levels of glyphosate residues in popular foods and drinks.
Regulatory inaction
Given the increasing risk to people posed by EDs, you'd expect regulators to be eager to take action. But sadly the opposite is true. The European Commission has been so tardy in regulating them that the European Court of Justice has declared that it has "unlawfully refrained from laying down rules".
This issue of GBH exposures has gained urgency from a new study in rats, which showed that Roundup caused fatty liver disease at the minute concentration of 0.1 ppb given in drinking water over a long-term period. The glyphosate daily intake level from this dose was 4 nanograms per kilogram of bodyweight per day, which is 75,000 times below EU and 437,500 times below US permitted levels. The concentration of glyphosate in the drinking water (50 parts per trillion) was 14,000 times less than the concentration allowed in US drinking water (700 ppb).
Tests have shown that most Americans have glyphosate in their urine at ppb levels, suggesting a daily intake of around 1000-fold above the level that caused fatty liver disease in the rats. However, further research needs to be done to establish the glyphosate levels present in various body tissues, especially within endocrine organs like the pancreas.
It's not certain that the fatty liver disease reported in the Roundup-fed rats was caused by the mechanism of endocrine disruption. But given the extremely low dose of Roundup that caused the effect and the known association between EDCs in general and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, endocrine disruption is one plausible mechanism. These observations call for urgent further research to be conducted to confirm Roundup/glyphosate-induced organ toxicity at real world levels of ingestion, and to provide insight into the mechanisms of toxicity, including ED effects.
Glyphosate herbicides and endocrine disruption
In 2009, the International Endocrine Society issued its first warning about the dangers associated with chemicals that interact with, take the place of, or inhibit or stimulate the action of natural human hormones (EDs). Today, based upon highly credible research published in peer-reviewed journals by scientists around the world, there is little doubt that GBHs are endocrine disruptors at the relatively high doses tested thus far. Their endocrine activity at low, realistic doses is still uncertain and requires further research.
According to the International Endocrine Society, there is strong mechanistic and epidemiological evidence that endocrine disruption plays a role in a wide range of maladies, including obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease associated with diabetes, female and male reproduction abnormalities (abnormal sperm and reduced fertility), hormone-sensitive cancers in females, prostate cancer, thyroid diseases, and neurodevelopment diseases (IQ loss and hyperactive behaviour).
Scientists have calculated that in the US alone, pesticide EDs cause some 7,500 annual serious disability cases and generate annual medical and lost work costs of about $45 billion. A study (covering some endocrine disruptive chemical (EDC)-associated diseases within the European Union puts annual costs to health services within this region at €150 billion per annum and some $340 billion in the US.
Major international and national health and science institutions have recently documented their concerns about EDs, which include a need for improved testing, education, and research, as well as updated detection protocols and reduced exposures. These concerns have been expressed by the American Medical Association, American Public Health Association, the American Chemical Society, the International Endocrine Society, and the World Health Organization, among others.
Use of endocrine disruptors should be suspended
Accordingly, I am of the firm belief that use of EDs – potentially including GBHs – should be suspended until thorough, transparent, and mathematically robust human epidemiological toxicology analyses are carried out by an international panel of respected scientific experts. The panel members should be chosen by other academic scientists and not involve industry or government participants. An analysis by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has already linked glyphosate exposure with cancer in humans. Yet apparently this is not sufficient evidence to end the use of GBHs.
I am not aware of any robust epidemiology studies investigating the possible effects of GBH exposures on endocrine-related diseases such as cancer, IQ loss, thyroid hormone perturbations, and organ changes. As stated in the international scientists' consensus statement on glyphosate and its formulations, there are large gaps in our knowledge about such effects and more studies need to be carried out. Of course the absence of such published research is not a sign that GBHs do not cause endocrine effects. We have the technology and the scientists to do such work – but the latter apparently lack financial support and/or are worried about industry criticism and intimidation if the results show that GBHs should be banned.
Pesticide treadmill
Such additional studies of course will take time. In the meantime American farmers are fighting the failures of glyphosate technology to control weeds, with a concomitant loss of crop yields and farm profits. Industry's answer is to invoke the pesticide treadmill concept and tell farmers to use more pesticides, including GBHs, plus one or two other pesticides at the same time. These pesticides include probable carcinogens and/or endocrine disruptors, such as 2,4-D, isoxaflutole, neonicotinoids, and fungicides like triflumizole.
While selling more pesticides makes good business sense for the industry, for farmers and consumers it means increasing exposures and potentially serious environmental and health impacts. Little or no toxicological data are publicly available on the combined effects of GBHs when mixed with these other known toxic pesticides. This situation should worry everyone.
Short of a universal ban on GBHs in order to protect consumers who are exposed to and consume glyphosate in their food and drink, glyphosate applications should be highly restricted to approved licensed applicators only, under conditions of extreme agricultural need.
What good is it anyway to make multiple applications of GBHs when weed resistance is already a major problem? The only one to benefit is the industry that wants to sell the product. In this context regulators worldwide have steadily increased the allowable levels of glyphosate residues in crops and foods, apparently to accommodate increased levels of glyphosate being found in GM glyphosate-tolerant soybeans.
Such decisions do not enjoy public support, especially from those of us who believe that glyphosate herbicides do harm, may be endocrine disruptors, and are biologically active at levels commonly found in human urine.
Cigarette smoke, PCBs – and glyphosate herbicides
Industry claims that glyphosate is "safe" are reminiscent of similar claims made in the past over cigarette smoke, DDT, PCBs, thalidomide, diethylstilbestrol (DES), Agent Orange, atrazine, flame retardants, phthalates, bisphenol A, and artificial fragrances – all of which are endocrine disruptors.
Consumers are confused, and some are angry and frustrated with regulatory decisions dealing with the biosafety assessment of many commercial products. At the very least many of us feel that the influence of industry has been too strong in regulatory decisions.
Non-industry scientists should test chemicals for regulatory purposes
In the US, a series of poor regulatory decisions – such as allowing the continued use of atrazine, a toxic herbicide bannedin Europe many years ago – have set up the EPA for continuing criticism, political and budgetary punishment, and, heaven forbid, talk of abolishing the agency.
It is long past time for the US Congress to change the rules that now require industry to study and report risk evaluations to regulators prior to sale of new chemicals. Realities dictate that the opposite should be the case; i.e., regulators and government or academic scientists should conduct and study chemical safety parameters and report the independent results to industry. Funding for such determinations could come from an industry registration tax for each chemical being registered.
Consumers need and deserve better action from regulatory agencies to protect the health of our children and grandchildren and the environment they will inherit.
Today we need to know why the US EPA and other regulators around the world continue to make what many scientists and members of the public feel are decisions that lack common sense. In the US, I believe that we need publicly visible, politically courageous investigations within regulatory agencies, perhaps conducted by the Office of Inspector General, to attempt resolution of these crucial matters that affect the everyday lives of people around the world. Such legal investigations may be the only remaining hope to create strong, stable environmental agencies staffed with brave and courageous scientists and regulatory personnel who earn the support of their constituents through transparency, independence from industry, and common-sense regulatory decisions.

Sir Richard Colt Hoare (1759-1838)
A Journey of Sir Richard Colt Hoare through Wales and England
Sir Richard Colt Hoare [1, 2 and 3] was an eminent early nineteenth century English historian and antiquary. Following his wife's death in 1785 (only two years after they were married) he embarked on a tour of the Continent to "detach my mind from melancholy"
Sir Richard's spent about six the next six years or so away. He came back to England when the French Revolutionary War made it difficult for travellers, and he never went abroad again. He developed a particular fondness for Wales, and he spent long summer periods, between 1793 and 1813, touring the country. Among his published works was a translation from Latin of the 'Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin through Wales' and 'Description of Wales by Giraldus Cambrensis (Gerallt Gymro)'
Some travel-writers such as George Borrow walked through Wales, while others journeyed on horse back. Not so Sir Richard ; he was a very wealthy man, and would either hire or have his own chaise and driver [3], that is, whenever the roads permitted. Sometimes, for short day excursions, he would ride, but whatever his mode of transport, he always had a servant with him.
He had one permanent base in Wales – a fishing-lodge overlooking Bala Lake, where he spent two or three weeks each summer.
Some travel-writers such as George Borrow walked through Wales, while others journeyed on horse back. Not so Sir Richard ; he was a very wealthy man, and would either hire or have his own chaise and driver, that is, whenever the roads permitted.
Sir Richards's diaries make no specific reference to Pontrhydfendigaid, but he does give a short account of his visit to Strata Florida. This is worth including :
Tregaron, is a small village on the River Tivy, famous for good trout fishing, and affording tolerable accommodation (The Red Lion) for a fisherman (but no wine). Having refreshed myself and the horses I pursued the road to Strata Florida . . . a situation admirably adapted to the severe and recluse order of Cistercians; surrounded on three sides by mountains many of which still retain their sylvan clothing, open only to the west. The relic of this once-celebrated abbey are now trifling, but time has, fortunately for the lovers of antiquity, spared a most beautiful specimen of its architecture: a very rich Saxon doorway differing in its patterns from any I have ever met with. It is in the most perfect preservation, but being shut up within a garden is seen to great disadvantage.
Having sketched the doorway, Sir Richard continued his ride :
. . . over a most dreary tract of hills, through Rhosefair (Ffair Rhos) to Spitty (Ysbytty Ystwyth). On descending from this place the rich groves of Havod begin to make some compensation for the many tedious miles I had this day crept along over rough and dirty roads . . . Leaving Havod I had another sad interval of barren moors before I reached my quarters at Devil's Bridge . . . I found Havod Arms improved in one respect : that of keeping chaises and post-horses.

Q: raBinomial distribution with dependent trials? I need your help with following problem:
String with n characters is given. For each character in string there is probability p that it is wrong.
Now you take a sliding window of length k, k<= n, that slides over that string.
For the given parameters p,k and n one must must determine the mean and variance of the number of the moving windows without any error.
For n = 5 and k = 2
we have sliding windows that contain letters of sting on positions 12, 23, 34 and 45.
I was thinking that I may define discrete random variable that counts how many windows are there with out any error, but very soon it becomes quite difficult to count. I was also trying to define some sort of generating function, but i did not get far.
Thank you in advance!

A: Hint: In order to compute the expectation, use linearity of expectation. In order to compute the variance, compute instead the second moment $\mathbb{E}[X^2]$, where $X=X_1+\cdots+X_{n-k+1}$, and $X_i$ is the event that the $i$th window is error free. The idea here is to use linearity of expectation again:
$$\mathbb{E}[X^2] = \sum_i \mathbb{E}[X_i^2] + 2\sum_{i<j} \mathbb{E}[X_i X_j].$$
Since $X_i^2 = X_i$, the first sum is easy to compute. For the second sum, $\mathbb{E}[X_i X_j]$ depends on how much the corresponding windows overlap, which in turn depends on the distance between $i$ and $j$. The calculation becomes a bit messy, but you should be able to obtain a closed form solution after some work.

What is an integrated ticketing system and what are the benefits of using one? How is it different from other forms of customer support?
There are different ways to get in touch with the hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you will always find irrespective of which company you select is a support ticket system. It's the least complicated channel of communication for a number of reasons. In case no client care staff member is free at the moment and they're all occupied, a telephone call may not be replied to, but a ticket will invariably be received. Furthermore, you can copy and paste large bits of information without worrying about typographical mistakes, and if a specific issue needs more time to be resolved or a number of replies need to be exchanged, all the information will be in one place, so each party can always follow the steps taken by the other one. The negative side of using tickets to touch base with your hosting provider is that they are often separate from the hosting platform, which suggests that if you need to supply info or to follow instructions, you will have to use no less than two separate accounts and this number can rise if you would like to administer a number of domain names. Plus, a lot of hosting companies reply to tickets after a couple of hours, or even once in every 24 hours, and for you as a customer, this means wasted time whilst awaiting a response.
In stark contrast with what you may find with many other hosting providers, the support ticket system that we're using with our Linux shared web hosting plans is an integral part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with all hosting accounts. You won't need to remember several usernames and passwords, as you'll be able to manage your tickets and the web hosting account itself in one single place. So, if you have an inquiry or come across an issue, you can contact our support staff representatives instantaneously. Our ticketing system offers a clever search mechanism. This goes to say that even in case you've sent an immense number of tickets through the years, you will be able to find the one that you want without hassle. On top of that, you can check knowledge base recommendations for resolving commonly confronted problems.
If you've opened a semi-dedicated server account with us and you would like to contact our customer support team, you will be able to send a trouble ticket directly from your Hepsia Control Panel instead of going through a completely different customer support platform as you will need to do with the vast majority of web hosting providers on the market. Our integrated ticketing system will enable you to post a new ticket effortlessly and to search through older tickets using an intelligent search box. You'll also be able to check the relevant knowledge base articles that our system will present you with in accordance with the problem category that you choose for your new ticket. You can perform all the above-mentioned activities without signing out of your Hepsia Control Panel at any time, which means that if you run into any obstacle or have a question, you can get in touch with our technicians and solve the particular problem in no more than 1 hour through one single support platform.

South Florida is one of the greatest places to spend the Fourth of July weekend. Towns on both coasts like Ft. Myers, Naples and Boca Raton all have all kinds of family activities planned. Many will attend cookouts, others will go to the park, and at the end of the night there will be spectacular fireworks displays. Our personal injury lawyers urge you and your family to stay safe, and we would like to take this opportunity to point out some of the most common causes of injury.
Drunk driving is one of the major causes of car accidents year after year over the Fourth of July holiday. It is an unfortunate fact that many people will spend the entire day drinking alcohol and then get behind the wheel. Drunk driving accidents often have tragic results. In a recent story in the Naples News, a man was sentenced to 17 years in prison for a fatal drunk driving crash. The defendant pleaded guilty to DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide. According to reports, the 59-year-old driver ran a red light and hit two cars. An 81-year-old driver was killed, and the victim's wife and the other driver were both injured in the crash. Following the crash, the defendant purchased beer at a local store and returned to the scene to drink the beer. His blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was .024. That is almost three times the legal limit of .08 grams per hundred milliliters of blood.
While this drunk driving crash involved someone running a red light, there are often signs you can familiarize yourself with to help stay clear of drunk drivers. The National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has published a list of clues of impairment to teach police officers during the DUI detection training. When driving this Fourth of July weekend, especially at night, you should watch out for drivers weaving in their lane, traveling the wrong way down a one-way street, traveling in the wrong lane, breaking and accelerating for no apparent reason, and having a slow reaction time at a traffic light. In addition to running red lights, as was allegedly the cause of this tragic case, many intoxicated drivers will simply sit at a green light. This is an indicator that the driver might be intoxicated. If you come in contact with a driver you suspect of being intoxicated, you should leave plenty of room.
In addition to the dangers caused by drunk drivers, we urge you to use care to stay safe on or near the water. Many will go to the beach to relax, fish, swim, or use personal watercraft like jet skis. While these are fun activities, you should also take some steps to stay safe. When swimming, only swim in the view of a lifeguard. While crossing the road to get to the beach, don't assume drivers will stop for you just because you are in the crosswalk. If you are going out on the water, avoid alcohol. Boating while intoxicated can be just as dangerous as driving while intoxicated.

This week in the Wonders reading program we will continue our focus on good citizenship, answering the question, "How do people get along?" We will continue to practice summarizing a story, naming pronouns, and learning more about suffixes. Our spelling pattern this week will be words with oy and oi.
In Math next week we will finish up an exploration within geometry. As well, we will take our end of Unit 7 math assessment. If we complete the assessment before the week is over, we will spend our extra math time focused on our STEAM project.
We continue to move forward with our STEAM project on erosion. The class identified that rock and plants may help keep soil in place. To test this theory, we have planted basil and daffodils. These two plants have a short germination period, so we are hoping to test our ideas at the end of next week. We will create a drip system (using a cup with a small hole) that is mounted with a ruler. We will observe the erosion of soil without rock, soil with rock, and soil with plants. We will also create landforms in our soil, and observe the erosion patterns that occur. This is an engaging way to tie our science learning together as we wrap up our learning.
Next week, some of the second grade students will be selling lemonade during snack time on Wednesday and Thursday. This is the culmination of an applied math project they have been working on. Lemonade will be 50 cents per cup. We would love your support!
As well, next Friday will be beach day at school. Earlier this year, Mrs. Howe's fourth grade class challenged the school to set a reading goal in honor of Read Across America week. All of the classes met their goal, and to celebrate we will drop everything and read from 1:30-2:00 in our beach gear (no swimsuits please). What a fun way to end the day before April vacation!

Future Lawn, Inc. v. Magee
United States District Court, N.D. Ohio, Western Division
Future Lawn, Inc., Plaintiff
Jeremiah Magee, Defendant
JEFFREY J. HELMICK UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
I. Introduction & Background
On July 22, 2013, the parties filed a Consent Decree and Judgment Entry of dismissal. (Doc. No. 29). Under the agreement, Defendant Jeremiah Magee agreed not to "operate, advertise or otherwise promote any business in which he is an owner, agent or representative, using the registered service mark 'xxx-TURF', from the date of [the] Order." (Id.)
On December 28, 2017, Plaintiff Future Lawn, Inc. filed a motion for contempt citation and for damages, claiming Magee had "flagrant[ly] disregard[ed]" the Consent Decree. (Doc. No. 31). Specifically, Future Lawn claimed Magee was not only continuing to use "xxx-TURF" in advertisements, but also attempting to circumvent the court's Order by using "xxx-xxxx (TURF)." (Id.). The parties began settlement negotiations to resolve this issue, and, on April 12, 2018, the parties filed a joint status report stating, "The parties can report that they have reached a settlement as to this issue, and are just finalizing the last of the terms." (Doc. No. 36). Hearing nothing to the contrary, the court inferred the matter had indeed been settled and terminated the motion for contempt on May 17, 2018. Although the docket states the motion was designated as "termed, " an internal term of art for the clerk, it should more probably be designated as "denied" and the clerk is ordered to effect that change. (Doc. No. 31).
Several months later, on October 16, 2018, Future Lawn moved for a hearing on the previously denied motion for contempt. (Doc. No. 37). In response, I held a telephone status conference. The parties represented there was a dispute as to whether an enforceable settlement agreement had, in fact, been reached on the matter of contempt. Because the motion for contempt was previously denied, I instructed Future Lawn to renew the motion for contempt. (Doc. No. 40). I also advised Magee to file a motion to stay the contempt proceedings and enforce the alleged settlement agreement. (Id.). Those motions are currently pending before me. (Doc. Nos. 39, 41, & 43).
II. Standard & Discussion
An agreement to settle claims between parties to litigation is a contract, and a court must enforce the agreement if the language of the agreement is clear and the parties enter the agreement voluntarily. Miller v. Prompt Recovery Servs., Inc., No. 5:11-cv-2292, 2014 WL 4230895, at *2 (N.D. Ohio, Aug. 25, 2014) (citing cases). Ohio law applies to the determination of whether the parties' settlement agreement is enforceable. See Bamerilease Capital Corp. v. Nearburg, 958 F.2d 150, 152 (6th Cir. 1992) (A settlement agreement is governed by the substantive law of the state in which the agreement was made.).
Under Ohio law, an unexecuted settlement agreement is enforceable if "there is sufficient particularity to form a binding contract." Tocci v. Antioch Univ., 967 F.Supp.2d 1176, 1200 (N.D. Ohio 2013) (quoting Kostelnik v. Helper, 96 Ohio St.3d 1, 3 (2002)). This is so unless "there is clear evidence demonstrating that the parties did not intend to be bound by the terms of an agreement until formalized in a written document and signed by both." Richard A. Berijian, D.O., Inc. v. Ohio Bell Tel. Co., 54 Ohio St. 2d 147, 151 (1978).
In this case, it is undisputed that, at one time, the parties agreed to the particular terms of the unexecuted settlement agreement. (Doc. No. 44 at 3 ("That is why Plaintiff was no longer willing to accept the settlement terms when the proposed agreement was finally signed by Defendant[.]")). The issue is whether the parties intended to be bound only after the settlement agreement was signed by both parties.
As the Supreme Court of Ohio has cautioned, "courts should be particularly reluctant to enforce ambiguous or incomplete contracts that aim to memorialize a settlement agreement between adversarial litigants." Rulli v. Fan Co., 79 Ohio St.3d 374, 376 (1997). In light of the history between these two litigants, especially regarding negotiations surrounding this particular alleged settlement agreement, I order an evidentiary hearing be conducted to determine whether an enforceable settlement agreement exists.
For the foregoing reasons, an evidentiary hearing regarding Defendant's motion to enforce the settlement agreement is scheduled for June 17, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. (Doc. No. 41). Because Plaintiff's motion for contempt citation and damages is dependent upon the outcome of Defendant's motion to enforce settlement agreement, Defendant's motion to stay contempt proceedings is granted. (Doc. No. 42).
Further, as stated above, the entry "term[ing]" Plaintiff's previous motion for contempt shall be amended to reflect denial of the motion. (Doc. No. 31). In turn, Plaintiff's motion for a ...
