The Quiet American review
By Total Film
Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
Saigon, 1952. London Times' correspondent Thomas Fowler (Michael Caine) has carved out an agreeable life for himself. Ostensibly on long-term assignment covering the Vietnamese fight for independence from French colonial rule, he's enjoying the bustling city and carrying on a splendid affair with local beauty Phuong (Hai Yen). Then well-intentioned US aid worker Alden Pyle (Brendan Fraser) appears on the scene. At first, Fowler is happy to befriend this polite, quiet American and show him around his adopted city. It's not long, though, before Pyle has intentions towards Phuong and his very presence threatens the stability of Fowler's cosy existence.
Graham Greene's novel was a red-hot piece of symbolic political prophecy in the mid-'50s, humanising and foretelling the catastrophic results of the colonial rulers' efforts to retain control of their exotic Asian prize. Not to mention highlighting the blundering interference of the Yanks in the name of liberation. It's a shame, then, that this adaptation is a bit of a yawn.
Which isn't to say there's nothing to like; on the contrary, there's plenty. Caine is good, taking a character easily written off as a dirty old bugger and making him sympathetic and credible, while Brendan Fraser is well cast as "innocent" interloper Pyle. Yen also deserves mention, bringing unspoken depth to her potentially one-dimensional role.
But, God, is Phillip Noyce's movie hard work. In the absence of Greene's narrative voice, the characters spend a lot of time delivering long-winded speeches illustrating how their individual positions mirror the broader issues facing the Vietnamese, the colonial French or the American government, none of which exactly set the screen alight. Surprises are few and far between too, with Pyle's "hidden" motives so obvious to a modern audience that Fraser may as well be wearing a flashing neon sign. Add to this soporific proposition some truly glacial pacing and The Quiet American feels like an overlong history lesson taught by a faintly tedious professor; informative but not much fun.
Evocative, interesting and grown-up, The Quiet American painstakingly recreates Graham Greene's vision of a fascinating time and place. Shame it's so bloody boring.

The Risks of Gambling Online
A togel hongkong is a game of chance in which a player bets on a set of numbers. The prize can range from a few dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are different types of lotteries, including draw games and sports betting. They have become very popular in the United States and other countries around the world. But there are also a number of risks associated with playing the lottery.
Historically, lotteries have been used to raise money for a variety of public purposes. For example, in the United Kingdom, a number of private lotteries were held to raise funds for the Virginia Company of London, a company that supported the settlement of America at Jamestown. Similarly, during the French and Indian Wars, several colonies held lotteries to raise funds for fortifications and colleges.
Several governments in the United States and Canada have instituted lotteries for public funding. The first modern government-run US lottery was established in New Hampshire in 1964. Currently, there are 48 jurisdictions that offer state-run lotteries to U.S. players, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Lotteries have also been found in many other countries, including Ireland, Finland and Germany. Each country has its own unique rules and regulations. However, most lottery tickets cost less than $10 and the top prize can be as high as $200,000. In addition, winnings are generally not subject to personal income tax.
In Spain, playing lottery has become a tradition over the last two centuries. The earliest recorded lotteries with money prizes took place during the Roman Empire. These lotteries were mainly played at dinner parties, where wealthy noblemen would distribute lottery slips. Often, the prizes included fancy dinnerware and other items of unequal value.
Lotteries have also been employed by some US states to fund colleges. For example, in 1755, the Academy Lottery financed the University of Pennsylvania. During the 18th century, various states held public lotteries to finance college tuition, fortifications, roads and bridges. Some towns in the Netherlands also held lottery games.
The Roman Empire used lotteries to fund repairs to the City of Rome. Similarly, several colonial American towns and cities also held public lotteries to finance their town fortifications, roads, and other public projects. Despite the popularity of lotteries in some colonies and states, they were criticized by some social classes.
One of the most popular lottery formats is a "50-50" draw. Players choose a number and hand over cash or a ticket. The numbers are then tallied. Depending on the lottery, winners may receive either a one-time payment or an annuity.
Several jurisdictions in the United States and other countries are considered to have a "de facto" national lottery. Examples include MegaMillions and Powerball. These two lottery systems are available in almost all US states. If you play, ensure that you choose a reputable online lottery site. You should also look for a secure environment and an official license.
In the United Kingdom, a lump sum of the prize is paid out tax-free. As a rule, the annuity payment is slightly less than the advertised jackpot because it takes into account the time value of money.
By adminss December 4, 2022
Buying a lottery ticket is a fun way to have some fun, but it also carries the risk of losing money. The average house edge is about 50% in most lotteries. This means that the odds are almost impossible for an individual to win the jackpot.
Several states have begun to legalize togel online. This is an opportunity for states to gain a direct profit from expanded gaming. The process of buying a ticket is similar to the process of buying an official lottery ticket, but the cost can vary. This is due to the fact that many lotteries prohibit credit card purchases. In addition, lottery providers often include a force majeure clause in their terms of service, which is a legal document that protects lottery providers from liability if a natural disaster disrupts lottery operations.
The North Carolina Education Lottery is one of 10 state lotteries that allow online ticket purchases. The lottery offers a variety of draw games, including Mega Millions and Powerball. The proceeds from the lottery are used for education programs and other public services. The lottery also offers a special game, Lucky for Life, which offers a life changing jackpot to one lucky winner.
Another lottery that allows online purchases is the Pennsylvania Lottery. Players must be at least 18 years old to participate in the lottery. Tickets can be purchased at gaming establishments, local stores, and at online sites. The lottery also offers online virtual sports games, which are played with virtual money. Some lottery players prefer betting on lottery draws, which is similar to purchasing an official lottery ticket. These players must follow the same rules and regulations as those who purchase an official ticket.
The New Hampshire Lottery has been around since 1964. It offers a variety of games, including Lotto, Mega Millions, and Mississippi Match 5. The lottery also offers a variety of draw games, including Powerball and Pick 3. The lottery is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association. The lottery's proceeds are used for education programs, road infrastructure, and natural resources.
The Oklahoma Lottery launched in 2005, and has several in-house games. The lottery also participates in several other multi-state draw games. The lottery also offers Powerball and Mega Millions, along with the state's own Lucky for Life game.
The South Dakota Lottery began in 1987 and offers four multi-state draw games. The lottery also raises money for natural resources, road construction, and public school construction. It also offers keno and scratch-off games for its residents. Those who live in the state of Washington can also participate in the lottery. In addition to lottery games, the state also offers a number of scratch-off games, including Mega Millions.
The Idaho Lottery, which launched in 1989, has several in-house games and participates in several other multi-state draw programs. The lottery also offers a variety of instant win games. The lottery proceeds are used to fund problem gambling treatment programs, wildlife habitats, and state parks.

The lottery is a type of gambling, in which numbers are drawn at random. Some governments have banned it, while others have endorsed it and organize state or national lotteries. Some governments also regulate the lottery and make it easier to participate. There are many forms of lotteries. Here are a few examples.
Lottery is a form of gambling
Lottery is a form of gambling in which participants buy tickets and hope to win one of many prizes. It is a popular form of gambling, and the prizes offered by lotteries are usually very large. Players can win cash prizes, sporting team drafts, or even medical treatment. Most lottery companies togel hongkong are regulated and do not allow their products to be sold to minors.
It raises money
Lottery funds are an important part of many state budgets. These funds are used for a variety of state-run programs, such as public works projects and education. In Colorado, the lottery funds are also used to help fund outdoor recreation and senior programs.
It pays out in annuities or lump-sum
Lottery payouts are divided into two types: annuities and lump-sums. If you win the lottery and need money to pay bills, an annuity may be a better option than a lump-sum. Annuities can provide a predictable income for at least 29 years, which can be useful for budgeting purposes. Annuities can also save you a lot of money in taxes. The best part is that you won't have to pay a huge lump sum of money up front or pay more taxes over time.
It has a long history
While lottery fever started in the late 1800s, the lottery's history goes much further back. In the 1760s, George Washington conducted a lottery that helped fund the construction of Mountain Road in Virginia. Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock both supported lotteries during the American Revolution. The lottery's popularity waned, however, in the 1820s. In this time, lotteries were criticized as harming the public and became illegal in some states.
What is the Lottery?
By adminss June 2, 2022
The Lottery is a game of chance, which involves the distribution of predetermined prizes by lot or chance. It has become an extremely popular form of gambling and has been around for centuries. In colonial America, there were over 200 lotteries, which financed roads, bridges, libraries, and colleges. In the 1740s, Princeton and Columbia University were funded through lotteries, and in 1755, the Pennsylvania Academy Lottery was created. The French and Indian Wars were a time when several colonies turned to lotteries for defense. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts used a lottery to fund its "Expedition against Canada" in 1758.
Lottery is a scheme for the distribution of prizes by lot or chance
A lottery is a game of chance whereby participants have an equal opportunity to win a prize. While money is traditionally the preferred prize, other prizes are also available. Prizes may be in the form of lands, chattels, or some combination of all three. In the city of Albany, a statute passed in 1820 authorized the disposal of public lands by lottery up to $250,000. The laws of 1820 also denominate the distribution of lands as a lottery.
It is a popular form of gambling
While most forms of gambling are illegal, togel is an exception. During the lottery, players will be randomly selected from a pool of participants and given a chance to win a specific amount of money. The prizes can be cash or items, such as tickets for a major sporting event. In addition, the winnings can be used to pay for medical treatment, or even for the draft of a favorite sports team. In general, lottery is considered to be legal as long as the money is raised for good causes.
It is a game of chance
If you've ever played the lottery, you know that winning is based on pure luck. While winning is certainly an exciting and fun part of the game, the odds of winning are not a guarantee. The more people who play, the lower the chances of winning. The Powerball and MegaMillions draw odds are 175 million to one, and the chances of winning these games are significantly reduced when there are more players.
Lottery participation is a form of hidden tax, because the government keeps more money than it spends on it. While many people think of a lottery tax as a consumption tax, it is far from being that. It distorts consumer spending by favoring certain goods or services over others. And it is unfair! The money generated by the lottery is used to support the government's budget.
It has many formats
Various types of files may be stored in the same format. These file formats are usually categorized according to their type and content categories. The format category, on the other hand, is a general description of the type of format and its bitstream encoding. In addition to these categories, other facets of a format are defined by the Global Digital Format Registry. In the following sections, we discuss the most important format characteristics.

FUNimation Entertainment announced that it has acquired the North American home entertainment, broadcast, digital and merchandise rights to the animated sci-fi action film EVANGELION: 2.0 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE (Evangelion Shin Gekijoban: Ha, 2009) from international sales agent NTV (Nippon Television Network).
EVANGELION: 2.0 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE is the second of four "Rebuild of Evangelion" films by Hideaki Anno and Studio Khara based on the Gainax television series NEON GENESIS EVANGELION (Shin Seiki Evangelion, 1995), a long-running anime about teenagers defending the world from monsters and mass destruction.
The setting is Tokyo 3, an outpost in a future world devastated by the "Second Impact." Repeatedly attacked by shape-shifting mecha-behemoths known as "Angels", what's left of Earth is defended by giant "Eva" robots piloted by high school students. Selected for duty by NERV, a top-secret military organization, the children are linked to their Evas by a design feature that channels the spirits of deceased family members into the machine's circuitry. The lead pilot is Shinji (voiced by Megumi Ogata in the Japanese version), the troubled son of emotionally distant NERV scientist Gendo Ikari (Fumihiko Tachiki). Rebelling against his predestined path, Shinji is brought back into the fold by teacher-mother figure Misato Katsuragi (Kotono Mitsuishi) and fellow pilot Rei Ayanami (Megumi Hayashibara).
EVANGELION: 2.0 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE opened as the #1 film in Japan the week of its debut in October 2009.
FUNimation Entertainment will release the film on Region 1 DVD and Blu-ray in 2011.

Biografia
Nato a Pavia dal panettiere Agostino e da Maria Borsalini dei quali rimane presto orfano, vive fino alla maggior età presso l'orfanotrofio pavese.

Dal 1842 al 1855 studia disegno, incisione e pittura sotto la guida dell'incisore Cesare Ferreri e Giacomo Trecourt presso la Civica Scuola di Pittura di Pavia, dove è compagno di corso di Federico Faruffini e ottiene diverse medaglie d'argento per le sue opere.

Nel 1849 si perfeziona a Roma e in seguito a Venezia: espone a Brera nel 1853 con Cicerone scopre la tomba di Archimede e nel 1856 con Sant'Epifanio su commissione dell'ingegner Giuseppe Marozzi, primo mecenate del precoce talento pavese Pasquale Massacra.

Presso la Scuola di Pavia si aggiudica il Concorso Frank nel 1855 con Cristoforo Colombo col suo fanciullo alla porta del convento di Santa Maria di Rabida in Ispagna e nel 1861 con La morte di Giuseppe Pedotti nella Battaglia di San Fermo.

Muore improvvisamente a Pavia il 19 agosto 1867.

Stile
Fedele al modello di Giacomo Trecourt, basato su una pittura di stampo romantico con interesse focalizzato su temi storici e religiosi.
Diverse, infatti, le realizzazione di pale e affreschi presso chiese pavesi (Santa Maria in Betlem, Santi Primo e Feliciano, Basilica di San Michele Maggiore, Marcignago, San Pietro in Verzolo).

Man Club: T Cooper
By Martha Schulman |
The first thing prospective readers should know about T Cooper's new book is that, although Cooper writes about the experience of being born a woman and living as a man, Real Man Adventures (McSweeney's) is not the standard "trans narrative we know from TV and films," says Cooper. For one thing: it's not a memoir.
That's because Cooper—author of the novels Some of the Parts, Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes, and, most recently, the illustrated The Beaufort Diaries, about a polar bear who goes Hollywood (the book itself went Hollywood, becoming a short film with David Duchovny)—doesn't think "a 39-year-old needs to sit down and tell the story of his life." Nor does he think it's possible, even in a memoir, to tell the whole story, simply because there is no one complete story.
Instead, the book, which he started working on when he realized that he'd been "kind of dancing around" the topic for a while, is an episodic patchwork of styles and perspectives that, he says, came about organically. It originated as an article for the Believer and grew as he kept writing, stopping every so often to ask himself, "Am I done? Do I feel too exposed?" If both answers were "no," he kept going. The result is "a nonfiction book about masculinity with autobiographical elements."
Really? Really. And who better to talk about how masculinity is defined and expressed than someone who's made his way into what Cooper calls the "Man Club," knowing he could be cast out as an interloper at any time. Cooper's take on masculinity is that all of us—male or female, trans or cis (as trans people call those who stay in the gender column they were born into)—take it for granted, fail to question it, and thus are "complicit" with it.
Cooper's discomfort with the idea of a master narrative that's "jammed down our throats" shows in his inclusion of multiple voices. He interviews his wife and brother, other trans people and their parents, and an entertainer known as ReDICKulous, whose claim to fame is an enormous penis. Why ReDICKulous? Because, Cooper says, when it comes to defining manhood, most people are "pretty biological in their thinking," that is, they think "you can't be a man without a penis." Which is not only a problem for soldiers who get hit in the wrong place by an IED, it also means "the man with the big tool" has "the unspoken power position." All this biological thinking is part of why Cooper and other trans people grapple with how open to be.
Still, readers who pick up the book hoping to get the skinny on what it's like to transition from being seen as a woman (regardless of whether that's how you feel about yourself) to being seen (usually) as a man (regardless of whether you have all the body parts we tend to think are requisite) won't be disappointed. For one thing, Cooper provides lots of details about what he faces as a trans man. Like, for instance, the fact that before he could have his passport renewed, he had to prove to the Department of State that he'd had "complete sexual reassignment surgery." Or that, despite his lovely wife and the two lovely daughters he acquired when he married her, he wonders what could happen if his daughters' friends' parents find out that the guy supervising play dates wasn't born a guy. And then there are the fears that come with encounters with unfamiliar doctors and truck stop bathrooms.
There's a good bit of fear and anger in the book, a collection of interviews, mini-autobiographies, letters, essays, and memoirlike segments, but that first Believer article "came out funny," and so does much of Real Man Adventures. As Cooper writes through what he calls "this thing of mine," he conveys the dual reality of not having "the luxury of just being a guy" and a life in which he's not thinking about "what do I as a trans person want to do for my 40th birthday" or wondering about his "next trans project." Whatever that project is, and however trans it is or isn't, Real Man Adventures will make you think about masculinity, visibility, and what and when you disclose—and to whom. With all that, who needs "Eat Pray, Trans," as Cooper shorthands the book he didn't want to write.

Q: Cant do null check in sub query record I have done a parent parent to child query
List<Opportunity> opportunityList = [SELECT Id, Field__c, (SELECT Account__c,Contact__c,CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate, Description__c,Id,Note_Type__c,Opportunity__c FROM Child__r) from Opportunity where Id in: opportunityListId];

What I want to do is check if child rows have been returned or not
for(Opportunity opportunity : opportunityList){
        if(opportunity.Child__r != null){
            //Something happens
}

}

However everytime it is entering within the if. Is there something wrong with the code?

A: The child object sObject list, here Child__r, is never null if you perform a parent-child query on that relationship. If no child objects are present, the list will have zero size. You can check
    if (opportunity.Child__r.size() > 0) {

to determine whether to proceed with processing child objects.

Joe Biden: Warnock Votes with Me Nearly 100% – Don't Tell Georgia Voters That (VIDEO)
December 04, 2022 News
Joe Biden Friday evening traveled to Boston to participate in an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers phone bank.
Biden was a stuttering mess as usual.
At one point Joe Biden began talking about the Georgia Senate runoff.
Democrat Warnock is in a tight race against Republican Herschel Walker for Georgia's senate seat.
Radical Marxist Warnock won the senate run-off in January 2021 and now he's running to serve a full six-year term.
Joe Biden has not been invited to stump for Warnock and he accidentally blurted out why.
"I can't think of anything [Raphael Warnock] hasn't voted for with us," Biden said.
"They're running against him saying he votes 98% of the time with Joe Biden. I wouldn't tell [Georgia voters] that on the phone," Biden added.
Perhaps this is why Barack Obama took a shot a 'crazy uncle Joe' on Thursday while he campaigned for Warnock in Atlanta.
"We all know some folks in our lives…they say crazy stuff…Uncle Joe, you know what happened to him. They're part of the family but you don't give them serious responsibilities," Obama said.
Interesting choice of words.

Nature Letter: Brexit threatens biosecurity
by Des Browne, David Aldridge, Catherine Rhodes, William Sutherland
CSER researchers had a letter published in Nature:
"Biosecurity is likely to be seriously compromised by the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. Common rules and safeguards, backed by a common judicial system, have for decades protected human, animal and plant health against biological hazards. Even so, ash dieback still threatens 60 million UK trees, and African swine fever has spread to Europe (see I. Capua and M. Monti Nature 566, 326; 2019).
Despite the rush to pass the huge volume of secondary legislation required by the EU Withdrawal Act before the end of this month, it is almost certain that the mechanisms and operational capacities to replicate these protective systems nationally will not be in place (see, for example, go.nature.com/2tislyv). Establishing such mechanisms will take time — and, meanwhile, hazards will persist.
Although we might still exchange information with the EU in response to common threats, we shall no longer be able to access the relevant data systems. Even if we continue to collaborate in research and innovation, our contribution to biological security policies will dwindle. Our voice in strategic decision-making will be silenced."

International Finance Corporation Channels $20M Towards Egyptian SMEs
Invested through the country's largest private equity fund manager, Ezdehar, the funds will target high-growth sectors including consumer and retail, business services, education, healthcare and more.
Menna Shanab
Venture capital and private equity play a crucial role in supplying funding to markets where capital is scarce, uplifting SMEs and helping them build dynamic and successful businesses. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is looking to fill this gap in a number of emerging markets across Africa, including Egypt. The World Bank body is set to inject $20 million worth of investments into Egypt-based Ezdehar, a private equity fund manager with more than $250 million under management. The money will be distributed to SMEs through the Ezdehar Mid-Cap Fund II (EMF II).
This latest investment will support SMEs in the Egyptian market by providing access to financing and tools to recover from the pandemic and scale their businesses. The fund is set to also invest in a number of high-growth sectors including consumer and retail, business services, education, healthcare, and manufacturing. Aside from financing, the fund will also offer operational and management support to help them develop into market-leading enterprises.
"With this fund, Ezdehar was able to significantly expand its investor base to include a unique set of reputable regional and global institutions. This fund is setting Ezdehar as the preferred partner for deploying development capital to build homegrown private sector champions in Egypt," commented Emad Barsoum, Ezdehar's founder and managing director.
The fund saw support from numerous international investors including the likes of the Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries; CDC Group PLC; the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund; the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; the European Investment Bank; and FMO, the Entrepreneurial Development Bank.
IFC's investment in Ezdehar is its latest effort in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship in Egypt and offering support to struggling businesses impacted by the pandemic. Over the last two years, IFC has invested more than $716 million in Egypt.

Kim and Ethan Nedeau found strength in each other and now thrive on nontraditional running events.
It isn't supposed to work like this: Two runners who'd fallen out of love with the sport meet, fall in love with each other, start a family, and then become elite athletes. In 2004, the newly bonded pair discovered that going off the beaten path—literally—could be a formula for success: Slower, lower-impact mountain running mitigated injury issues that both had suffered, souring them on road running. Last year Kim, 37, placed second among women at the Mount Washington Road Race and was the top American at the World Mountain Running Championships, and Ethan, 44, won his third consecutive age-group title at the Obstacle Course Racing World Championships. Now with a 10-year-old, an 8-year-old, and a German shorthaired pointer named Scout in tow, the Nedeaus have settled in Leverett, Massachusetts, living near miles of trail—and a garage gym built by Ethan.
Ethan beasts the monkey bars at Berkshire East Bonefrog.
Kim conquers the 2016 World Mountain Championships in Bulgaria.
Work meets play: Inspired by trips to the playground, Ethan converted his garage into cross-training heaven.
Integrated into the slope of the roof at a 45-degree angle.
A mini-version of a wall one might find in a rock-climbing gym. "It's one of my finest creations," says Ethan.
Rising at a 45-degree angle, the hole-riddled board can be traversed using two wooden pegs.
Cut, trimmed, and sanded down from an oak tree from the backyard, it's used for hangs and pullups.
To help simulate swinging-style obstacles, Ethan drilled holes into lacrosse balls and PVC piping and suspended them from rope mesh.

[WITHDRAWN 9/16] A law firm staff member may not solicit business for the firm even if the non-lawyer is to receive no additional compensation for the service (because the staff member would be compensated with a regular salary for recommending or securing employment for the law firm). A lawyer may never delegate in-person solicitation to a non-lawyer, even acting under the lawyer's supervision. 10/25/1989
[WITHDRAWN 9/16] A lawyer should not open up a branch office to be staffed entirely by non-lawyers (with the lawyer expecting to visit the branch office two days each month), because a lawyer's supervision over non-lawyer staff "should be significant, rigorous and efficient." 6/14/1994
A family court self-help center facilitator (a lawyer or a paralegal trained in family law who volunteers to assist unrepresented customers) does not establish an attorney-client relationship with such customers, if the Customer Agreement "has the pro se litigant understand and acknowledge that the limited assistance provided by the Facilitator does not create a lawyer-client relationship, that no legal advice is given, that information will not be kept confidential and that the Facilitator may provide assistance to adverse litigants." (footnote omitted). A lawyer merely providing legal information and not legal services does not fall under Rule 6.5's provision governing "short-term limited legal services." "Merely providing sample pleadings or forms to a pro se litigant is not the practice of law; however, the completion of a form pleading or legal document for the pro se litigant would be." (footnote omitted). Rule 6.5 does not address conflicts arising after a lawyer provides such a limited representation, so the lawyer may be precluded from other representations adverse to the client the lawyer had assisted. Paralegals may not engage in the "unsupervised preparation of pleadings or other legal documents," so lawyers may not train paralegals to provide such unsupervised services. Various resources can help lawyers distinguish between providing "legal information" and "legal advice." [Approved by the Supreme Court of Virginia 11/2/16]. 5/28/2013
38-Fee Splitting
A law firm may not share profits with an advertising agency unless its employees are bona fide and regular employees of the law firm. [Approved by the Supreme Court of Virginia 11/2/16]. 10/21/1991
A law firm may pay legal assistants on a profit-sharing basis, and include legal assistants and other staff on the firm letterhead as long as they are properly identified. 1/17/1986
A law firm may pay secretaries a bonus based on the firm's profitability. 6/25/1986
A law firm may place legal assistants' names on their offices as long as it does not create the impression that the legal assistants are lawyers. 5/21/1973
A law firm may represent clients being prosecuted for traffic or criminal cases even though the spouse of one of the firm's associates is an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney. The same is true when a firm employs a paralegal whose spouse is the Commonwealth's Attorney. In both cases, the firm must advise its clients and the court of the relationships. 3/10/1980
A law firm may represent the defendant beneficiaries in a will contest even though a lawyer at the firm prepared the will and non-lawyer employees witnessed the will, because: (1) the lawyer preparing the will was no longer at the firm, and the witness-advocate rule only applies if the lawyer/witness still practices at the firm; and (2) the witness-advocate rule does not apply when non-lawyer employees are called as witnesses. 2/28/1996
85-Business Cards
A law firm's business manager and legal assistant may use business cards if their positions are clearly revealed on the card. 11/30/1979
A law firm's non-lawyer employees may use business cards if the cards indicate their non-lawyer status. 10/8/1979
A lawyer and a legal assistant may contact representatives of a potential adversary in a patent or trademark case because the lawyer has a duty to investigate any possible claim and it is not yet known whether any actual adversity exists.Legal assistants are bound by the Code when assisting lawyers with client matters. 1/4/1989
79-Communicating with a Governmental Adversary
A lawyer and the lawyer's employee may seek information under the Freedom of Information Act from the state, even if the lawyer is representing a client adverse to the state. 12/14/1992
A lawyer had a legal assistant interview a witness. When the witness told a different story at trial, the lawyer wanted to call the legal assistant to impeach the witness. The lawyer may call the legal assistant as a witness without withdrawing. 12/14/1992
A lawyer may arrange for a non-lawyer accountant to perform work for the lawyer's clients, as long as the accountant does not perform legal work and the client consents after full disclosure. 5/23/1988
A lawyer may enter into a compensation plan with a non-lawyer employee as long as it complies with the ethics code. 3/11/1987
A lawyer may hire a former client to help organize and manage other similar cases for other clients, as long as the lawyer fully discloses these facts to the other clients. 12/14/1992
A lawyer may hire a police officer as an investigator. 4/23/1980
A lawyer may hire an opponent's secretary but must assure that the secretary complies with the Code. A lawyer may not induce a non-lawyer to undertake activities that would violate the Code if undertaken by a lawyer. 12/4/1985
59-Disbarred and Suspended Lawyers
A lawyer may not: pay a lump sum to a disbarred lawyer to take over the practice; pay for the disbarred lawyer's yellow page advertisement; divide a contingent fee with the disbarred lawyer; employ the disbarred lawyer as a legal assistant on a set salary; and take over the disbarred lawyer's phone number and answer the telephone as "law offices." [To the extent it is inconsistent, this LEO was overruled by LEO 1218.] 6/16/1987
A lawyer may represent a client although a secretary in lawyer's firm will testify against the client, as long as the client consents. 4/1/1987
A lawyer may represent a client when the lawyer's adversary is represented by a law firm employing the lawyer's fiancée as a secretary. If the lawyer feels that the relationship with the fiancée might affect the lawyer's judgment, the lawyer must make full disclosure to the client and obtain the client's consent. 5/27/1986
A lawyer must be careful to prevent disclosure of confidential information when the lawyer's secretary is married to the head of a real estate agency and plans to become a real estate agent. 7/25/1989
A lawyer whose office administrator is married to a judge may appear before the judge, but may have to disclose these facts on the record. 2/27/1989
A two-member law firm hiring a secretary who until the previous week was the only secretary at another two-member law firm representing a litigation adversary will not be disqualified from the case, as long as the new firm: warns the secretary not to reveal or use any client confidences acquired at the old firm; advises all lawyers and staff not to discuss the matter with the new secretary; screens the new secretary from the litigation matter (including the new firm's files on the matter). Although not mandating any specific steps, the Bar recommends that the new firm "develop a written policy statement" regarding such situations, and note the need for confidentiality "on the cover of the file in question." 10/8/2004
A Virginia lawyer may enter into a partnership with a non-lawyer in the District of Columbia, because its ethics rules permit such partnerships (Virginia's DR 1-102(B) acts "as a conflicts of rules provision" allowing the more permissive DC rule to apply). Although the partnership (through a Virginia lawyer) may conduct activities in DC benefiting Virginia clients, it may not engage in the practice of law in Virginia, and the Virginia lawyer may not conduct any of the lawyer's practice in Virginia through the partnership. [Rule 8.5(a) now indicates that Virginia lawyers must comply with the Rules regardless of where they practice, and Rule 8.5(b) now provides a "choice of law" rule for lawyers licensed in more than one jurisdiction.] [Approved by the Supreme Court of Virginia 11/2/16]. 4/11/1994
A Virginia lawyer who practices in a District of Columbia office may maintain a trust account in a Virginia bank, and may arrange for a non-lawyer to handle the account as long as the lawyer supervises the non-lawyer and is ultimately responsible for the account. [Rule 1.15 required that a law firm office use a trust account bank in the same jurisdiction; Rule 8.5 determines which state's disciplinary rule would apply to violations.] 9/24/1985
22-Interviews with Prospective Clients
Although not bound by lawyers' ethics rules, law firms' secretaries must maintain the confidentiality of information they learn. Thus, a secretary who receives confidential information from a prospective client whom the law firm does not represent (because it wishes to or already does represent the prospective client's adversary) must maintain the confidentiality of that information. Lawyers in that firm can avoid disqualification from representing the adversary if the lawyers screen the secretary from the matters, instruct the secretary "that she cannot reveal to the lawyer any confidential information obtained from Ms. X [the prospective client]," and use another staff person to work on the matter. In addition, the law firm "should send a written communication to Ms. X or her lawyer that these measures have been taken." Such screens do not prevent imputed disqualification involving an individually disqualified lawyer, but can successfully avoid imputation of a non lawyer's individual disqualification. The firm may have to withdraw from representing the adversary if the screen is breached. The Bar "recommends that the firm train non lawyer support staff to minimize confidential information obtained from prospective clients before they can perform the necessary conflicts analysis." 5/10/2007
Federal regulations governing "the specific practice of patent law before the USPTO" preempt the Virginia ethics rules, and thus allow a Virginia licensed lawyer on associate status to form a partnership with non-lawyer patent practitioners (as defined in the CFR) and share legal fees with non-lawyer registered patent agents. 4/16/2008
33-Office Sharing with Other Lawyers
It is not per se unethical for lawyers sharing office space and secretaries to represent adverse clients, but they must be careful. 5/27/1986
Lawyers may outsource "legal or non-legal support" services as long as they bear various ethics requirements in mind -- mentioning outsourcing to foreign lawyers as only one example of outsourcing, along with "the use of a local photocopy shop" to copy documents, retaining a "document management company" in litigation, using third party vendors "to provide and maintain a law firm's computer system" and reliance on a "legal research service" to conduct research. Lawyers arranging for such outsourcing must ultimately assure competent service by anyone assisting in the lawyer's work for the client. Lawyers' duties under ABA Model Rule 5.1 and 5.3 "apply regardless of whether the other lawyer or the nonlawyer is directly affiliated with the supervising lawyer's firm" -- despite the reference to "a firm" in ABA Model Rule 5.1 Comment [1]. Lawyers arranging for the outsourcing must adequately investigate the people who will be conducting the outsourced work (including even such issues of confidentiality as "recycling and refuse disposal procedures." Lawyers arranging for overseas outsourcing should assess such issues as: the foreign lawyers' legal training and dedication to "core ethical principles" similar to U.S. lawyers, the possibility of confidential materials being seized in "judicial or administrative proceeding" and other threats to confidentiality. Lawyers arranging for outsourcing may have to alert their clients, if the outsourcing services will be performed independently of the lawyer (referring to ABA LEO 356, which deals with temporary lawyers). Because "ordinarily" the lawyer will not exercise a "high degree of supervision and control" over the work that is being performed, the lawyer generally will have to provide notice to their clients. Lawyers providing confidential client information to a third party may do so only with the client's consent, and the "implied authorization" to reveal client confidences in performing legal services "does not extend to outside entities or to individuals over whom the firm lacks effective supervision and control." Lawyers must be very careful to assure confidentiality, and "[w]ritten confidentiality agreements are . . . strongly advisable in outsourcing relationships." In fulfilling their duty to "minimize the risk of potentially wrongful disclosure," lawyers arranging for the outsourcing "should verify that the outside service provider does not also do work for adversaries of their clients on the same or substantially related matters." In charging fees for the outsourced work, lawyers should comply with the standards articulated in ABA LEO 420. Lawyers may generally add a surcharge to the cost paid to those performing outsourced work (without notice to the client), as long as the total fee is reasonable. Lawyers deciding to pass the cost along to the client as a disbursement may not mark up the cost, but may only bill the client the actual cost "plus a reasonable allocation of associated overhead, such as the amount the lawyers spent on any office space, support staff, equipment, and supplies for the individuals under contract." In the case of outsourced services, the overhead cost may include "a reasonable allocation of the cost of supervising those services if not otherwise covered by the fees being charged for legal services." Lawyers arranging for outsourcing must avoid assisting anyone in the unauthorized practice of law, although generally there should be no UPL problem if lawyers performing the outsourced work assist the lawyers (who remain ultimately responsible for the work) and do not hold themselves out as being admitted in the jurisdiction. 7/9/2008
LEO 1046 determines whether a full-time Commonwealth's Attorney may prosecute an embezzlement that involves a store owned by an employee of the law firm where the Commonwealth's Attorney formerly practiced. [Under LEO 1046, the prosecution would be proper if the lawyer could rebut the presumption that the lawyer had acquired confidential information from the law firm employee.] [Rule 1.11(d) would allow this representation if the lawyer were never "personally and substantially" involved in the matter while in private practice.] 3/18/1988
The name of a legal assistant may appear on a law firm's outside door if the label properly identifies the person as a legal assistant. 6/19/1979
The Virginia Supreme Court indicated in UPL 0p. 207 that non-lawyer social workers may assist small claims court litigants "with completion of the form document using language specifically dictated by the litigant," but would be engaged in the unauthorized practice of law if the social worker "selects the forms for the litigant or advises the litigant as to which forms are appropriate based on the litigant's particular case; or provide[s] any legal advice to the litigant." Based on this UPL opinion, the Bar explains that lawyers may not train social workers in undertaking any of the prohibited activities. The Bar notes the "critical distinction" between undertaking activities that require "knowledge of the law," and undertaking activities that amount to the unauthorized practice of law. Thus, lawyers may train social workers "on the law needed for performance of a job," but may not train social workers to engage in activities that amount to the practice of law. [Approved by the Supreme Court of Virginia 11/2/16]. 1/10/2006


Now, interestingly, we find a contemporary beauty in the art and architecture of the past ravaged by the passage of time or natural disasters. Although their beauty is considered decadent, it may be that the innate beauty of matter is reemerging from behind the mask of artificial embellishment. Ruins unexpectedly welcome us with warmth and friendliness; they speak to us through their beautiful cracks and rubble—which might be a revenge of matter that has regained its innate life. In this sense, we highly regard the works of [Jackson] Pollock and [Georges] Mathieu. Their work reveals the scream of matter itself, cries of the paint and enamel. These two artists confront matter in a way that aptly corresponds to their individual discoveries. Or rather, they even seem to serve matter. Astonishing effects of differentiation and integration take place.

Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. The act of breathing seems incredibly simple, but doing it properly can be surprisingly complex—and of vital importance to your clients' performance.
• When you inhale, air travels through your nose and mouth and on through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and smaller and smaller tubes called bronchioles (which are the thickness of a hair) to 600 million small sacs in the lungs called alveoli. Each alveolus is surrounded by a net of tiny capillaries, where red blood cells drop off carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen (a process called "gas exchange").
• Exercise increases respiratory system efficiency, but it doesn't significantly increase lung capacity.
✔ Clients with lung disease generally tolerate aerobic exercise at 40% to 60% of peak capacity, three to five days a week for 20 to 45 minutes.
✔ Consider circuit training in a Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) format of 8 to 10 exercises, with one set of 8 to 15 reps per exercise.
✔ Emphasize breathing control; schedule frequent rest intervals.
✔ Consider using a pulse oximeter during exercise to track oxygen saturation in the blood. Levels should be a minimum of 85% but preferably 90%. Below 85%, stop exercise.
Learn More in NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training, Chapter 16.
✔ For clients who tend to hold their breath, encourage them to count each rep out loud.
✔ If clients experience side-stitches while running, suggest exhaling during the left footfall (not the right).
✔ If your client can't catch his breath, have him stand tall with his hands behind his head to open the lungs and allow for deeper inhalations—don't bend over with hands on knees.
✔ To gauge exercise intensity, use the talk test: If the person can't talk much, they're in the high-intensity range. If they can carry on a conversation, the intensity is low to moderate.
✔ When cooling down or stretching, deep, slow breathing helps calm the body and aid in recovery.
In respiratory muscle training (RMT), participants perform breathing exercises, often using special devices, in the hopes of building up the muscles associated with respiration. In recent years, numerous studies have been done on RMT, and in 2013, University of British Columbia researchers performed a systematic review of thousands of them, narrowing those eligible for inclusion to just 21. Their conclusion: RMT can, in fact, improve sports performance—though researchers aren't certain why, as RMT wasn't shown to increase VO2 max. Some theorize that it may delay the onset of breathlessness, enabling athletes to push harder for longer.
