Anoplocapros(3) Aracana(2) Caprichthys(1) Capropygia(1) Kentrocapros(1)
Family ARACANIDAE
Common name: Keeled boxfishes, temperate boxfishes, trunkfishes
A small family of oval to round fishes with bodies almost completely encased in a bony carapace formed from large thickened scale plates, usually hexagonal in shape and firmly sutured to one another; except the caudal peduncle which has isolated plates to allow tail movement. All species have very small mouths and often locate their invertebrate prey by blowing a jet of water onto the sediment. See Matsuura 2014.
Boxfishes lack fin spines and pelvic fins, and the short-based dorsal and anal fins are set far back on the body.
The rigid plates end before or on the tail base which is never completely enclosed in fused plates. The carapace has a series of longitudinal ridges, including a ventral ridge, and bear large fixed spines in some species.
Dianne J. Bray, Temperate boxfishes, ARACANIDAE in Fishes of Australia, accessed 18 Jan 2021, http://136.154.202.208/home/family/349
A small family with 12 species in six genera, with 9 species found in Australia.
Indo-West Pacific
Body nearly completely enclosed in a carapace formed of enlarged, thickened scale plates, usually hexagonal in shape and firmly sutured to one another (less so on the cheek to allow for breathing movements); the carapace with openings for the mouth, eyes, gill slits, and fins, and for the flexible caudal peduncle.
Body oval in cross section; scales large, hexagonal, fused into a rigid bony carapace, covering body in front of dorsal and anal fins; centre of each individual plate with a low tubercle and radiating low ridges connecting adjoining plates; surface features indistinct in large individuals.
Gill openings relatively short, vertical to oblique slits in front of pectoral-fin bases; mouth small, terminal, with fleshy lips; teeth small, conical, close-set, single row in each jaw; spiny dorsal fin absent; most dorsal-, anal- and pectoral-fin rays branched; pelvic fins absent.
Species are sexually dimorphic, and males often become brightly coloured and develop a hump on the head or elongate spines in some species.
Carnivores, usually feeding on invertebrates such as crustaceans. Temperate boxfishes have very small mouths and often blow a jet of water onto the sediment to expose their prey.
The sexes are separate and fertilization is external; eggs and larvae are pelagic.
Although of no interest to fisheries, temperate boxfishes are often taken as bycatch in commercial trawls.
No species are listed in Australia. Some species distributed elsewhere have been assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
Family Remarks
Although the flesh not poisonous, a mucous toxin, ostracitoxin, is present and some species can secrete the poison under stress. This toxin kills other fish and, eventually the boxfish themselves if exposed to it.
The precise location of this toxin in all species is not fully understood, and boxfish should be considered potentially toxic to humans and their consumption as food should be avoided.

It was Déjà vu all over again between the Santana Sultans and the Granite Hills Eagles as once again the Eagles prevailed late scoring four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to snag the victory.
Things right away went in favor of the Eagles in the bottom of the first inning when Staci Chambers (1-1, R, 2 RBI, HR) took the 1-1 offering from Madison Mendez (1-3, RBI) and hammered it over the center field fence to give the Eagles the early 2-0 lead. The homerun by Chambers scored Aylani Ottley (2R) who came into run for Haley Johnson (1-1, 2B) who had doubled.
Moving to the top of the third inning with the Sultans trailing they would take a 3-2 lead in the top of the third inning as Mackenzie Bennett smashed a liner up the middle to which scored Natalie Sims (1-4, R) and Krysten Service (1-2, R) who scored on the throw to tie the game at 2-2 and Marilyn Downing (RUN) would score on a wild pitch to give the Sultans the lead.
The Sultans would add to their lead in the top of the fourth inning on a two out base hit by Mendez which scored Emma Leggett (1-3, R) who had singled in the inning to make it 4-2.
Another run for the Sultans in the top of the fifth inning pushed their advantage to 5-2 as Ashley Madrigal scored when the Eagles committed an error on a ball hit by Shelby Holmquist (RBI).
Santana really could have broken the game open with some insurance runs in the top of the sixth inning. Things started with Service singling, Mendez hit into a fielder's choice in which Service was thrown out at second, Downing came into run for Mendez, Bennett hit a ball to second that was misplayed and was safe, Mackenzie Sims into run, Madrigal would single to center which loaded the bases with only one out.
With the bases packed and Chambers in the circle who came into relieve Catie Dobbs earlier in the contest the Eagles were in some trouble. Next up for the Sultans was Joey Barkhimer who hit a lined shot to center that looked like it was going to drop for a base hit but center fielder Bailey Wallace leaped out of her cleats forward and caught the ball for the amazing diving catch, Downing came into score or so she thought. The Eagles faithful was yelling throw it to third base and Wallace did and the umpire called out for leaving early and end the inning. This prompted Santana's Coach Arnold to appeal but to no avail.
Still trailing by three runs the Eagles knew they needed to do something as they were running out of time. Leadoff hitter Johnson managed to draw a walk, Ottley into run, Chambers followed with another walk, Erica Simon (RUN) into run, Wallace laid down a sacrifice bunt and actually reached on an error to load the bases. This time around things were looking up for the Eagles as they had the bases full and no outs. However Mendez was able to strike out the next two batters.
Only needing one more out to get out of the jam and the inning, Mendez was in control. However McKenzie Boehm (1-3, R, 2 RBI) had other ideas as she took the Mendez offering and laced it up the middle to center which allowed both Ottley and Simon to score to cut the deficit 5-4. With Boehm on second and Wallace on third and two outs up came Brooke Bertussi (1-3, 2 RBI).
Before her at bat in the bottom of the sixth, Bertussi had not done anything all day against Mendez. She was able to work the count to 2-2 and on the very next pitch she hit it to center field where it fell for a base hit which scored both Wallace and Boehm which gave the Eagles a 6-5 lead.
It was a lead that they wouldn't relinquish as Chambers was able to get the final two batters out to end the contest and complete the comeback.
For the Eagles it was déjà vu all over as they had won the previous two regular season league contests in the bottom of the sixth last season. The first time was at Santana when Rylee Omahen hit a homerun over the left field fence to propel the victory and the second time was a Wallace homerun over the right field fence to propel that victory.
In the loss for the Sultans, Mendez went the distance going 6 innings, giving up 6 runs of which only 2 were earned on 5 hits while walking 6 and striking out 7.
Starting the game for the Eagles was Dobbs who only lasted 2 innings in which she gave up 3 runs of which all were earned on 2 hits while walking 4 and striking out 2. Coming into relieve was Chambers who got the victory as she went 5 innings in which she gave up 2 runs of which 1 was earned on 5 hits while walking2 and striking out 4.
With the win the Eagles are the only undefeated team in league play and with the loss the Sultans four game winning streak comes to an end.
Grossmont's Jordan Brown (4-4, 3R, 2 RBI, HR) was red hot against the Wolf Pack on Friday as she went 4-4 scored three runs and drove in two runs as Grossmont stymied West Hills on the day.
The Foothillers got on the board first in the top of the first inning as Brown blasted a two run homer over the center field fence that scored Kati Contreras (1-3, 2R, 3 RBI, HR) to make it 2-0. A few batters later Candace Henderson (1-2, 4 RBI, 2B) roped a two run double that scored Jaime Medlin who came into run for Samaria Roope and also Aly Almann which made it 4-0.
West Hills answered with a run in the bottom of the first as Ashleigh Hartwig (1-3, R, RBI, HR) bombed a solo homerun over the center field fence to bring the Pack within 4-1. They would have more opportunities as Star Gaylord (1-3) followed with a single and Gabby Clippinger (1-3, 2B) reached on an error but Roope would get out of the jam.
After pushing across another run in the top of the third to lead 5-1. West Hills would threaten in the bottom of the third inning with two outs as Clippinger doubled and Savanah Henderson walked. However Roope once again got out of the inning. Grossmont would go on to add more in the top of the fourth on a three run blast by Contreras. The homerun scored both Katie Appenzeller (1-4, R) and Kimmy Bond (3-5, R, 2B).
Taking the loss for the Wolf Pack was Emma Bentley who only went 3 innings while giving up 8 runs of which 6 were earned on 9 hits while walking 2 and striking out 2.
Getting the victory for the Foothillers was Roope who went the distance for the complete game 7 inning victory, she gave up 1 run which was earned on 6 hits while walking 1 and striking out 7.

Q: Adjusting position on discrete x-axis of two goups in ggplot I have a plot with a continous y-axis and discrete x-axis.
For the data I have a group factor with 3 levels and 2 meausement points, so 6 geoms are created
1
I would like to keep the width of the single geoms but adding space between the two measurement points, respectively the two groups of geoms. Like: 3 geoms - gap - 3 geoms. Is there any possibility of adjusting the position of a group of geoms on the x-axis in ggplot?
preferences %>%
  pivot_longer(c(F1_life_satisfaction_pre, F1_life_satisfaction_current), names_to = "variables", values_to = "ratings")%>%

    geom_violin(scale="width", adjust=0.5, width=0.8, alpha= 0.2, position = position_dodge(1)) +
    stat_summary(fun=mean, geom="point", shape=23, size=2, position = position_dodge(1)) +
    stat_summary(aes(group=fct_inorder(playing_preference)), fun=mean, geom = "line", size= 0.5, position = position_dodge(1)) +
    stat_summary(fun.data=mean_cl_normal, fun.args=list(mult=1),aes(x=fct_inorder(variables), y=ratings), geom="errorbar",
                 width=0.05, position = position_dodge(1)) +

    scale_y_continuous(breaks = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), limits=c(1,7)) +
    geom_segment(aes(x = 0, y=4, yend=4, xend=3), color="grey") +
    theme(axis.ticks.x = element_blank()) +
    labs(fill = "playing preference") +
    labs(x="life satisfaction") +
    theme(axis.title = element_text(size = 10))+
    theme(legend.text = element_text(size = 10)) +
    theme(legend.title = element_text(size = 10)) +
    labs(y = "mean ratings") +
    geom_boxplot(width=0.1,color="black", alpha=0.2, position = position_dodge(1)) +
    scale_fill_viridis(discrete=T)

A: TL;DR - play with width= and position_dodge(width=...) within your line for geom_violin and geom_boxplot to adjust the positions along with scale_x_discrete(expand=expansion(...).
The first point is that the resolution (and how close and far apart) things are on your plot will be related to the size of your window.  With that being said, the positioning relationship of the plot elements between one another can be controlled via ggplot.  In particular, you want to change the values of width= and position_dodge(width=...) in your geom_violin call (and your geom_boxplot call).
Example Dataset
I'll use an example dataset to illustrate the idea, where I'll plot boxplots... but the idea is identical.  The example dataset contains two x values ("Group1" and "Group2"), and each of those has subdivisions that are either "A", "B", or "C", containing a separate normal distribution of 50 datapoints for every x and x.subdiv.
set.seed(8675309)
df <- data.frame(
  x=c(rep('Group1', 150), rep('Group2', 150)),
  x.subdiv=rep(c(rep('A', 50), rep('B',50), rep('C',50)), 2),
  y=unlist(lapply(1:6, function(x){rnorm(50, runif(1,10,15), runif(1,0,7))}))
)

Width of position_dodge
Here's the simple boxplot, where I'll use 0.5 as the value for both width= and position_dodge(width=...).  Note that the first argument in position_dodge is width=, so you can just supply that number directly to that function without explicitly assigning to the width argument.
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + theme_bw()
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=0.5, position=position_dodge(0.5))

The rule to note here is:

*

*geom_boxplot(width=...) controls how wide the overall spread of box plots are around each x= value.

*position_dodge(width=...) controls the amount of spread (the amount of "dodging") for the groups around the x= aesthetic.
So this is what happens when you change position_dodge(width=1), but leave geom_boxplot(width=0.5):
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=0.5, position=position_dodge(1))

The width of each box remains the same as before, but the positioning of each box around x= is more "spread out".  In effect, each is "dodged" more.  If you set position_dodge(width=0.2), you'll see the opposite effect, where the boxes become squished together (because they are not spread out as much around x=):
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=0.5, position=position_dodge(0.2))

The interesting thing is how geom_boxplot(width=) and position_dodge(width=) are related:

*

*If geom_boxplot(width=) is equal to position_dodge(width=), the boxes will be touching

*If geom_boxplot(width=) is less than position_dodge(width=), the boxes will be separated from one another

*If geom_boxplot(width=) is greater than position_dodge(width=), the boxes will be overlapping one another
Width of the geom
The width= of the geom itself relates to how wide the boxplots are.  The point to keep in mind are these two points:

*

*The width= is the sum of all the widths of the individual dodged geoms for that particular x= aesthetic.

*width=1 is the width between two values on a discrete axis, meaning when you set width=1, the boxes will be wide enough to touch
That means that if we set geom_boxplot(width=1), the combined total of all the boxes for "Group1" will be wide enough to touch the boxes of "Group2"... but you would only see that if there were no overlap among the boxes (meaning that position_dodge(width=) would be equal to geom_boxplot(width=)).
So this makes the boxes wide enough to be touching, but position_dodge(width) is less than geom_boxplot(width)... so the boxes overlap, but "Group1" boxes are separated from "Group2" boxes:
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=1, position=position_dodge(0.8))

If we want everything to touch, you have to set them equal, and both equal to 1:
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=1, position=position_dodge(1))

Control both widths
In the end, it's probably best to control both.  If we go from the previous plot, you probably want the plots to have separation between "Group1" and "Group2".  That means you need to make the width of all boxes smaller (which we control by geom_boxplot(width)).  However, you probably still want the dodging to leave a bit of space between the boxes, so we'll have to set position_dodge(width) to be greater than geom_boxplot(width), but not too large so that we lose the separation between "Group1" and "Group2".  Something like this works pretty well:
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=0.5, position=position_dodge(0.55))

In your case, you have both geom_violin and geom_boxplot, so you'll need to adjust those together and work out the proper look.
EDIT: "Shift Left and Right" and "Squish"
If the width= and position_dodge(width= arguments are just not quite getting you what you need, there is another parameter that can work in concert with them to move things around.  This would be to use scale_x_discrete(expand=... to control the amount of space to the left and right of your x axis items.  Used together with width= and position_dodge(width=, this actually gives you precise control of where to position your data along the x axis while still respecting the automated plotting that ggplot2 provides.

*

*width= controls the whitespace between data along the x axis

*position_dodge(width= controls the amount of whitespace between subgroups in the data positioned along the x axis

*scale_x_discrete(expand=... controls white space to the left and right sides of the panel.
I'll demonstrate the functionality using the same dataset as before.  Note that proper use of the expand= argument for scale_x_discrete should call expansion() and you will need to provide a 1 or 2 length vector to either add= or mult=.  Play around with both and numbers to see the effect, but here's kind of what to expect.
The expansion() function takes either mult= or add= as arguments, which can either be a vector of length 2 (where 1 is applied to left side and 2 is applied to the right side, or length 1 (where the number is applied to both sides).  Numbers sent to mult= are multiplied by the normal expansion to give you the new amount, so the code below sets the extra whitespace to the left and the right equal to 30% (0.3 * normal) of the typical expansion for both sides:
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=0.5, position=position_dodge(0.55)) +
  scale_x_discrete(expand=expansion(mult=0.3))

Sending two values, you can adjust separately.  This sets the left side to be 100% (normal) and the right side to be reduced to 50% of normal:
p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill=x.subdiv), width=0.5, position=position_dodge(0.55)) +
  scale_x_discrete(expand=expansion(mult=c(1,0.5)))

Bottom Line: Seems like by using all three arguments for width=, position_dodge(width=, and scale_x_discrete(expand=expansion(..., you can theoretically place your x groupings anywhere along your plot.  Just keep in mind that the resolution and aspect ratio of your graphics device will change how things are laid out a bit, so additional control can be adjusted by resizing the graphics window.

The Whitecaps have completed a transfer for Uruguayan winger Cristian Techera from River Plate Montevideo.
Techera, the 5-foot-2 winger, arrived in Vancouver on loan with an option to transfer last April. He scored seven goals and added five assists in 22 regular-season games.
The Caps have used targeted allocation money, or TAM, for the move. MLS teams received $500,000 in TAM last season and have another $800,000 in TAM to play with in both 2016 and 2017.
TAM falls outside the salary budget and allows teams to add or re-sign players in the $457,000 to $1 million range. That means Techera's transfer fee and salary must have been more than $457,000 combined.
There is also a minimum budget (salary) charge of $150,000 for players whose signing involves TAM. Techera earned $85,000 last season, according to the MLS Players Union.

Q: Why can I use void(), but not void{}? Consider the following code:
void foo() { return void(); }
void bar() { return void{}; }

foo() compiles, but bar() doesn't (using GCC 8.2 and clang 7.0 on GodBolt).
Why?

A: void is an incomplete type.  Since it is an incomplete type the expression void{} is illegal.
void() however is granted an exception in [expr.type.conv]/2

[...] If the type is cv void and the initializer
  is (), the expression is a prvalue of the specified type that performs no initialization. [...]

Which can be/is useful in generic code.

There is an active issue on this and the current proposed wording for the C++20 draft is

[...] Otherwise, if the type is cv void and the initializer is () or {} (after pack expansion, if any), the expression is a prvalue of the specified type that performs no initialization. [...]

Which will allow you to do return void{}; if it is accepted.

Pawprint Series: Park Wood
It might come as no particular surprise to discover that Park Wood on the old London Road in Waterlooville was once part of the ancient Forest of Bere that covered most of southern England.
Nurtured today by a group of friendly and committed volunteers under the overall purview of The Woodlands Trust, Park Wood is a small area of semi-natural ancient woodland between Wallis and Queens Road, opposite Queen's Enclosure. It today consists of a core wooded area and two former meadows, now partly regenerating with native species. It is distinguished by its ancient yews and other fine feature trees and a wide variety of woodland plants.
Protected, Park Wood was always treated well by the families who owned it – firstly William Friend who purchased the land when the Royal Forests were disbanded and sold. His eventual estate numbered some 400 acres (the Hart Plain Estate) but Park Wood was kept as a pleasure garden for his family and guests. You can still see remnants of the old Walled Garden which was used to grow fruit and vegetables for the Estate.
The estate then passed onto another influential figure, Dr F E Beddow, who lived at Park Wood House until 1953 whereupon his housekeeper, Miss Ellis, lived there during her lifetime. In 1970, according to his will, the trustees of the estate were beholden to sell off parcels of land in order to build a public library either in Waterlooville or Milton in his name – it was built in Milton.
Fortunately however for us today, although much of the land was sold and Park Wood itself started to deterioate due to neglect, the immediate area of Park Wood itself was kept intact and saved when in 1991, Havant Council sublet the Wood to the Woodland Trust as management agents for 199 years.
So following their efforts and perhaps more especially, the volunteers of The Friends of Park Wood, paths were reopened, programmes of laurel, sycamore & holly clearances were undertaken, seats and information boards were added.
All the locals here in Waterlooville love Park Wood and it's a particular haunt of The Hound who regularly meets his friends there so of course, The Hound gives Park Wood his five paws award.

As a global leader in culinary and hospitality education, with a network of more than 35 institutions in over 20 countries, Le Cordon Bleu has drawn upon over 120 years of expertise to create this new program.
This 4-level program covers a comprehensive range of topics to provide students with a full range of skills and knowledge relating to authentic Japanese cuisine. Students will embark on a journey to discover a whole new world of technical skills, cooking methodologies, specialist ingredients, equipment and tableware applied to over 200 recipes in traditional, regional and modern Japanese cuisine.
Each level of the program is complemented by unique industry research activities and interactive learning experiences. These activities provide real-life insight into the deep culture and etiquette behind Japanese cuisine.
Ilyoung HONG, Representative Director of Le Cordon Bleu Japan, states that Le Cordon Bleu Japan has been recognised as the first international culinary institute in Japan to issue the "Taste of Japan" certification for Japanese cooking skills in foreign countries which has been established based on official guidelines set up by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). Future graduates will receive "Taste of Japan" bronze and silver badges together with a Le Cordon Bleu Diploma, providing them with credibility and recognition in the culinary industry at a local and global level.
Recruitment has now commenced for the upcoming autumn term. The program is offered in English and instructors are leading Japanese experts from relevant fields. This 6-month, 531-hour program includes 4 certificate levels, ranging from Initiation to Superior.

Regular exercise – is it about motivation or discipline?
Would you like to create a regular exercise habit but struggle to keep at it? The intention is there. The motivation is there. But before you know it something changes and the habit is over, sometimes before it even began.
So how do you maintain an exercise habit? Is it a matter of finding what motivates you to move? Or is it simply about better discipline? Who better to ask about exercise habits than some personal trainers? They're on the fitness frontline working with real people every day to help them achieve their goals.
Personal trainer Alita Ashcroft runs a business, has three young children and exercises consistently, often training for events like ironman. She believes you won't always feel motivated to exercise.
"For me it's a habit that is as ingrained in my daily routine as brushing my teeth is. It's non-negotiable."
Personal Trainer Sally Roberts says it's important to set yourself small goals first. Once these small goals and changes have become a habit, then move onto a new focus.
"Most clients come to a trainer really motivated and excited or totally desperate, which usually means they want to change everything at once. But too much change at once is not sustainable," she says.
Kylieanne Farrell is a movement coach and she believes working out what you value most in life and understanding WHY you want to change are the keys to creating healthy habits.
"Working out what you value most in life is when you will be most disciplined, consistent and committed. This is when your goals will turn into a lifestyle."
Andrew Chadwick says we need to change our terminology and how we think about exercise.
The movement coach believes the the term 'exercise' is associated with strict guidelines and rules about what we must do, how we must do it and what we must wear.
"We should swap the term 'exercise' for 'move'. It liberates a lot of the rules and probably has more benefit," he says.
Personally I have days where I wake up feeling like an Olympic athlete ready to somersault my way to the gym while slurping a green juice. And other days I roll heavily out of bed and the thought of moving much at all is a distant memory.
I make plans to meet and train with other people (and I don't like letting other people down).
I sign up to short-term fitness based classes and courses where people are expecting me to turn up.
Group classes also help me to feel motivated when I see how much effort other people are putting in.
I try and make sure I'm doing what I enjoy. I've recently taken up trail-running and I can't get enough of it. It doesn't feel like structured exercise. It feels like fun, I'm moving my body and my overall health benefits.
For other tips and tricks about creating habits and exercise you can read How to adopt healthier behaviour and Are you stuck in an exercise rut?

On panel discussions: The Migrant and Refugee Crisis @ Oxford Martin School
Posted on November 6, 2015 July 14, 2016 by amandacellini
Interesting set up, really interesting result: The Oxford Martin School hosted a panel to discuss the migrant and refugee crisis + responses and solutions.
In her six minutes to address the panel, Bridget Anderson brought up issues around victimhood, agency and morals [@35:20] —
On September the 7th in response to the so-called 'refugee crisis in Europe ', David Cameron announced the extension of the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Protections scheme to operate alongside the regular asylum claim system. The UK won't accept for resettlement people who have reached Europe or its borders, but it will accept 4000 people a year from the refugee camps bordering Syria. People who are identified as being victims of sexual violence, the elderly, the disabled, orphaned children, and so on.
So this is what a genuine refugee looks like: living in a camp, helpless, a broken body, a broken mind, a broken heart, and no control over their lives. But one of the challenges of the refugee crisis – let's call it that for now, though I appreciate what Julien [Brachet] has said – lies in the refusal to be that deserving refugee who waits to be rescued from the camp. People are making choices to move, albeit within very constrained limitations. The reassertion of vulnerability as a sign of deservingness equates refugee with a very particular kind of victimhood that making decisions delegitimizes people's status as victims, and therefore as a refugee. Choosing to move from Turkey, Jordan, or Lebanon, especially if you can afford to pay people to help you move suggests that you're not somehow genuinely in need. Now of course, you all know that in practice refugees are not only helpless victims, but the broader truth is that .this determined.. focus on those who are believed to be the so-called 'most vulnerable' reveals that .all of our. models inevitably exclude as they include. The most vulnerable would in all likelihood not include the family of Aylan Kurdi. Even if we widen criteria to include all Syrians, we exclude all people from Afghanistan, Eritrea, and Iraq. If we widen inclusion to encompass all refugees, we exclude those attempting to cross the Mediterranean in rickety boats in order to build more sustainable lives. And this is a profound challenge to European claims to respect the moral equality of persons because we are living in a world of increasingly grotesque inequality both in terms of security and economic opportunity.
We don't have to only think about the horrors of Syria and Iraq. Research by the World Bank has demonstrated that while in the 19th century, what determined your place in the noble hierarchy of income was basically whether you were a worker or a boss, a master or a servant. And today, this is much less important than in the state in which you live. And lets not forget that this inequality is not a natural state of affairs but has historical roots, both recent – and we heard about the disasterous foreign policy, but also as Colin [Bundy] talked about, colonialism and imperialism. Indeed, perhaps, rather than a refugee crisis confronting Europe, what we are seeing is a European crisis confronting refugees. Like the apocryphal story that the Haitian slave revolution greeted the repressive French army by singing La Marseillaise, so some of the people walking along the motorways of Hungary and Austria are carrying the European flag. 'We share your respect for justice, freedom, and human rights, and here we are, we belong.'
This is where the potential power of where the refugees are welcome lies. Probably like many people in this room, I went to the demonstration in Oxford that was actually just outside this very building. It was an expression of humanitarian impulse, but more than that, it was an assertion that we, the residents of Oxford in this case, but also other cities, have the moral authority to include. It shifts the 'we'. 'You' might not welcome refugees, but we do. In this, it is a welcome contrast of the rejection of asylum-seekers and the demonization of non-citizens that has marked both the British and the European scene for many years. But who is the refugee we are welcoming – and to pick up on something that Cathryn [Costello] has said – does this refugee have to be a person who has the victim in premature or is it someone that we, the residents, has a genuine claim? The two are not necessarily the same. If we are welcoming the person on the road in Austria or risking the Channel tunnel in Calais, the emotional impulse must engage with the bureaucratic and legal process and move from the terrain from the moral to the political. For if refugees really are welcome, then something must be done at the European level about the Dublin system. But also at the national level. In Britain, each refugee welcomed counts against the net migration target, which is the critical measure of the government's immigration policy's success or failure. and if refugees really are welcome, there are plenty already in the UK and Oxford who are destitute and homeless. For we live in a country that has declared a hostile environment for unwanted migrants, including people who have been refused asylum but who cannot be returned because, despite the rejection of their asylum claims, it is acknowledged that their country of citizenship is too dangerous.
Furthermore, every refugee welcomed needs a place to live. Unfortunately, in the UK, homelessness and hunger are not confined to refugees. If the environment is to be truly welcoming for refugees, it is critical that they are not positioned as competitors for scarce resources – that is, welcoming refugees cannot be treated as an isolated social issue, and this makes it intensely political. 'Refugees are welcome' is indeed a very bold statement.

The UK is second bottom in a league table ranking EU countries on the quality of their bathing water, stoking fears that the "dirty man of Europe" could be on his way home after Brexit.
96.4% of British beaches were found safe to swim in last year, but 20 sites failed the assessment in the annual survey by the European Environmental Agency (EEA) released on Tuesday. Only Ireland had a higher percentage of poor quality bathing waters at 4%.
And with Brexit casting doubt on the future of EU regulations that staunched runaway coastal pollution in the 1970s, some influential Brussels figures are warning of retaliation if the UK lowers environmental standards to allow the export of dirty factories, practices, or waste across the Channel.
Benedek Jávor, the co-chair of the European parliament's environment committee, said that if that happened "the EU could put pressure on the UK by saying that British products will not be allowed into EU markets unless they meet environmental standards".
Theresa May's government has said it will transfer all existing EU law into British statute under a planned "great repeal bill". After this has been done though, thousands of articles and provisions may then be amended or deleted without the approval of MPs.
Leaked government documents have suggested that the government plans to "scale down" climate and environmental laws to secure post-Brexit trade deals.
Molly Scott Caho, the Green MEP for the south-west, said the health of Britain's coastline was at risk and would now depend on the strength of government factions after next month's election.
In 1993, a European Court of Justice lawsuit forced the UK government and its newly privatised water industry to clean up infrastructure, and designate sufficient bathing water sites. However, the UK continued discharging raw sewage into the sea until 1998, longer than any other European country.
The number of UK bathing waters deemed unfit for swimming fell from 31 to 20 in 2016, because of increased infrastructure spending and better weather conditions, the EEA said.

After seeing it on Wendy from wendyslookbook.com, I love the understated leopard print. I prefer a darker jeans color because I have kids and I tend to get into very noticeable messes.
A Spring 2012 trend I want to try is floral denim. I have noticed that Citizens of Humanity has a pale floral denim but I have never worn Current/Elliot so I wanted to try it. Also Current/Elliot's floral print looks more muted and that's more to my style.
Another Spring 2012 trend is the High Low hemline. This Waterfall dress is also in multiple pastel colors that I have been madly in love with. If the dress fits well, I might be able to wear it to a Spring wedding (2 Spring weddings on the same day).
C.Luce Lovely Lady DressThis pastel pink dress looks very young, fresh, and Spring! I love the elasticized waistband with a little bit of frill. Hopefully between the Waterfall and the Lovely Lady dresses I will be able to pick one for the weddings I've been invited to.
This is a sweater jacket which I love. I have a Gap and Banana Republic sweater jacket in a blazer cut. This is like a tweed version. It also comes in a pinkish color.
I love embellished tees because they are comfy, easy to wear, and can instantly glam up your outfit if you want to.
My obsession with sweater dresses have evolved onto t-shirt dresses. I have been thinking about investing in an easy to wear t-shirt dress that's great for casual or even glam wear.
Lace is so timeless and classic. It can be turn a simple outfit into an extraordinary outfit. It would be a good investment piece.
Another item that is lace. I couldn't find anything else I would like to have at Ann Taylor besides their blouses. But I have too many blouses already. I'm not ready to purchase another one.
Those are my picks but it seems like I have been straying away from these retailers. I'm also looking at zara.com, anthropologie.com, and shopbop.com. Now I have to budget and pick which items I really want.
Did you see anything you would like to share?
These are all great selections! I also got a 20% disc to PIperlime. The coat was returned in today's post. I couldn't get it work, I tried a dress which resulted in a bulky look. I tried a pencil skirt which looked odd, and regular black slim pants that was just too drab.
Oh that's sad that it didn't work out. Can't wait to see what other outfits you have planned though!

Welcome to week 10 of the series!!! This week I completely took my hair all the way down, detangled, shampooed, conditioned, etc. For the past two weeks my hair has been braided up (which I think I enjoyed way too much) so I made sure to take extra good care of it this week. You always want to show your hair lots of TLC because when you show it love, it loves you right back! When you neglect your hair, it neglects you so treat your hair right!
Yes! Wearing wigs CAN help your hair grow!
This week I started by taking my braids completely down (see video below) and combing all the way through my hair from root to tip. Remember, your hair sheds daily whether it is braided or not, so when you take braids down it is important to comb all of that hair that was shedding completely out. Otherwise it will knot up on you and become a tangled, matted mess that you want no parts of. And the longer your hair is braided, the more hair it will look like is coming out but do not be alarmed! This is completely normal.
Don't be afraid to wear a wig, they can help your hair grow!
I love starting off with the Extreme Clean shampoo because everything that I put in my hair for the past two weeks will be removed with the Extreme Clean shampoo. Any dirt, any oils, any product residue, and anything from the environment (like smoke, or food smells (aka bbq) that magically made its way to may hair is taken care of with the Extreme Clean Shampoo. In my professional opinion, your hair grows faster when your scalp is clean which is why I always have this in my line up.
The Extreme Moisture shampoo allows you to start building the moisture back into your hair with the help of lots of silk and other moisturizing agents. Next, the Replenishing Conditioner adds even more moisture and softens the hair up which gives it that body and bounce that we all want in our hair. Lastly, I added the Leave-In Conditioner which serves three purposes. It detangles, adds moisture, and has a heat protectant agent inside. I love this because it is lightweight and will not weigh the hair down which allows me to be very generous with it and not lose any body in my hair.
After I blow dried my hair, I went and had someone braid it up for me. Then I came back home and oiled my scalp really well. Aim for oiling your scalp at least three times per week to prevent dryness and flaking.


Have you ever felt like an extra in one of those zombie movies – you know, shuffling along each day being worn out both physically and mentally? You're very much alive, but not nearly as active and energetic as you used to be – or want to be. It's not that you're getting older; it's that your body is no longer producing as much HGH as it used to. The good news is that HGH injections get you looking and feeling young and healthy again by restoring your hormone level. Human Growth Hormone – or HGH – is the key to youthful looks and vitality. Secreted by your pituitary gland, it is responsible for organ growth and cell regeneration in your body. It's what made you the man or woman you are today. However, when you reach maturity your body starts to produce less and less HGH and typical symptoms of aging start to show: a lack of energy and stamina; a loss of skin elasticity; an accumulation of body fat and weight gain; a decline in memory and focus; thinning hair; joint and muscle pain; weaker eyesight, diminished sexual desire and performance; and more. That's not the way you're supposed to feel – no matter how old you are – and now you don't have to. Men, HGH injections get your mojo back. Women, HGH gets your groove back. Injectable HGH is the most effective way to replace growth hormones and make you look and feel alive again. No longer will you need several cups of coffee just to perk you up for a few hours. With an increase of your HGH level, you'll be far more energetic and have the strength and stamina to be active all day long. Forget about costly diets and grueling exercise programs – stubborn belly fat will simply disappear as HGH boosts your metabolism and increases your lean body muscle and bone density. Your sharper mind will enable you to not only remember the smallest details, but also stay on task until you successfully complete a project. You'll come down with fewer colds and viruses and heal a lot faster as HGH strengthens your immune system. You'll see better, look better, and sleep better at night – all thanks to the rejuvenating power of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Millions of men and women past 30 have already regained their vim, vigor and zest for life with doctor-prescribed HGH shots and you can do the same. HGH injections get you back in the saddle, back in the game of life, and back to feeling the way you used when you were young.
Healthy dieting and regular exercise may help to slow down the aging process, but it won't reverse it. The only thing that can is an infusion of growth hormones genetically identical to the ones your body naturally produces. Real human growth hormone for sale acts as a rejuvenating elixir to promote organ growth, increased muscle mass and bone density, and cell regeneration – especially for your brain, skin and other vital organs. How can you tell if the HGH you are purchasing is real? For one thing, injectable HGH is the only effective method of hormone replacement therapy – so effective that it is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and only available with a doctor's prescription. Don't be fooled by knock-off HGH products sold online as pills, drops, sprays and creams to get around federal regulations. These poor substitutes rarely contain HGH and those that do are ineffective because HGH breaks down in your digestive system if taken orally. And whatever you do, do not buy HGH injections on the black market or from foreign sources, which could endanger your health since these unreliable products are not regulated. Real HGH is prescribed in low doses so there are no adverse effects. Instead you'll experience a natural and positive transformation from feeling rundown to being imbued with the poise, power and confidence you haven't possessed since you were a young adult. HGH injections get your body back into shape by boosting your metabolism – so you lose excess fat – while increasing your muscle mass so you develop a more sculpted physique. At the same time, your bones become denser and your joints more flexible, providing greater mobility and the opportunity to lead a more active lifestyle. Your vision improves, your hair becomes thicker, and HGH hormones enhance your overall health. It also does wonders for your mental abilities. Your brain becomes sharper, your powers of concentration are stronger, and your sense of wellbeing and emotional stability is heightened. And as if that weren't enough, your libido comes roaring back to life. In other words, you become just as alert, vivacious and frisky as you were way back when. So why toss in the towel and learn to live with the limitations of aging when you can purchase real Human Growth Hormone for sale, reverse the trend and start living life to the fullest once again? Let us show you how simple and convenient it can be.
The human body's ability to reinvigorate itself is truly one of the wonders of science. There's no greater proof of that than in the rejuvenating power of growth hormone therapy. Once you know how to get HGH injections prescribed by a licensed physician, you can experience that miracle yourself.

Our fully licensed medical institute is staffed by specialists and trained clinical associates who can answer any questions you may have about hormone replacement therapy – aka HRT – and the many benefits of HGH Human Growth Hormone for sale. We will also set up an appointment for you to take an Insulin Growth Factor – or IGF-1 for short – blood test to measure your growth hormone levels and undergo a complete physical examination. Both will help confirm whether you have an adult growth hormone deficiency and the best way to deal with it. A certified HGH doctor will consult with you before sending a prescription for injectable HGH Human Growth Hormone to one of our local regulated pharmacies, which will promptly ship your HRT kit directly to your home or office. There you can follow your doctor-prescribed course of therapy over the next several months and, if or when necessary, contact our clinical advisers for support or guidance.
You'll soon discover that HGH injections get your metabolism firing on all cylinders to reduce body fat. HGH also helps build muscle mass and bone density to make you stronger and more agile. Within the first seven weeks of your treatment, you will experience a surge of renewed energy and stamina, as well as a more content state of mind. Shortly thereafter, you'll see an improvement in your complexion as your skin becomes smoother and your wrinkles less noticeable. Meanwhile, your hair and nails will grow stronger, your thoughts will become more focused, and your sense of wellness will never be better – at work, at home and in the bedroom. Now that you know where and how to get HGH injections, the only thing preventing you from reclaiming your youthful looks and vitality is procrastination. Call or write us today so we can help you realize your dreams of a healthier and more active future.
Marsha M. in Jacksonville FL asks: What is the difference between non-prescription HGH and real injectable HGH for sale?
There's a huge difference, Marsha. The HGH products you see online that don't require a doctor's prescription come in the form of pills, drops, sprays and cream – and for all intents and purposes, they're useless. Not only do many of them contain little if any HGH, but when taken orally HGH breaks down in your digestive system and is thus ineffective. The same goes for creams that are administered transdermally – absorbed through the skin. Hardly any hormones they might contain ever penetrate deep enough to enter your bloodstream. Injectable HGH is the only effective method of growth hormone therapy and only legal if it is prescribed by a licensed doctor. Contact our Growth Hormone Deficiency Center and we'll tell you how to obtain real HGH results in Jacksonville FL – or anywhere else in the U.S. – with affordable growth hormone injections for sale.

If so, your doctor will prescribe HGH that is genetically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces and a course of therapy that will boost your growth hormone levels and restore your youthful health and energy within a matter of months. So don't delay. Contact us today to find our how HGH Injections get you back into shape as soon as possible!

So I have been back and forth and back and forth over this decision........I am a huge fan of Bella Blvd and I desperately wanted to try out for their DT, but my little baby girl is not giving me any time to work on my submission. It has me thinking that this may not be the right time to add more Design work. It is disappointing but I really do have so much on my plate right now, I don't think that I could do there fabulous stuff justice. That being said I did create these two layouts as I hummed and hawed over whether or not to apply.
I love this one of my little girls first sleep in her beautiful bed.
and this one with her very loving brothers.
Lydia, these both are sweet and absolutely gorgeous! Good luck when you do have the time to apply for DT's that you love!
Totally get it - had the exact same conversation with myself actually! Lol! My 1 yo boy is REALLY hard work at the moment so I'll just let it go and focus on him instead! Gorgeous layouts though, thanks for sharing.
What an awesome page ! Adorable kids too!

Санкт-Петербурзький залізничний вузол — найбільший залізничний вузол на північному заході Росії, другий за пасажиро- та товарообігом в Росії після Московського, є частиною ІХ міжнародного транспортного коридору. Розташований на території Санкт-Петербурзького та Санкт-Петербург — Вітебського відділень.

Вузол має 423 км колій. Залізничні колії та станції займають в Санкт-Петербурзі приблизно 4 тис. га території. Вантажообіг залізничного вузла досяг рівня понад 110 млн. т. на рік. На початок ХХІ сторіччя залізничний вузол міста багато в чому виконує функції сортувального центру для зовнішньоекономічних вантажопотоків та підприємств інших регіонів, спрямованих в бік Фінляндії, Прибалтики та портів Балтійського моря.

Основний немаршрутизованний вантажопотік на морські порти і прикордонні переходи проходить через сортувальну станцію Санкт-Петербург-Сортувальний-Московський, розташовану в південній планувальній зоні Санкт-Петербурга. За своєю структурою Санкт-Петербурзький вузол відноситься до залізничних вузлів напівкільцевого типу через розташованої на заході природної перешкоди Фінської затоки Балтійського моря. Десять залізничних напрямків практично радіально сходяться до центральної частини міста. Більшість з них двоколійні, а Московський напрямок триколійний.

До складу вузла входить 5 діючих вокзалів (Балтійський, Вітебський, Московський, Ладозький, Фінляндський; також існували 3 історичних), 2 сортувальні станції (Санкт-Петербург-Сортувальний-Московський, Шушари), 2 портові станції (Автово та Новий Порт), 10 пасажирських напрямків (Балтійський, Лузький, Вітебський, Московський, Волховстроївський, Ладозький, Іриновський, Приозерський, Виборзький, Сестрорецький).

Історія

Історія Санкт-Петербурзького залізничного вузла починається  а з відкриттям першої в Російської імперії Царскосельської залізниці, що сполучила Санкт-Петербург та Царське Село. Для цієї лінії в місті був побудований перший залізничний вокзал, що наразі має назву Вітебський.

У травні 1847 року відкрита перша ділянка Миколаївської залізниці, що сполучила столицю Росії з містом Колпіно, а за чотири роки — і з Москвою. Для цієї лінії також був побудований свій вокзал — Миколаївський (наразі — Московський).

У наступні роки були побудовані ще дві залізничні лінії: Санкт-Петербург — Гатчина (1853 рік) та Санкт-Петербург — Петергоф (1857 рік). Відправлення поїздів здійснювалося відповідно з Варшавського та Петергофського (наразі — Балтійського) вокзалів, споруджених для даних ліній.

В 1870 році була побудована п'ята лінія, яка сполучила Петербург та Велике Князівство Фінляндське. Для лінії було споруджено Фінляндський вокзал, а сама лінія була під орудою управління фінляндських залізниць.

Приблизно до 1880-х років всі п'ять ліній були окремими, сполучення між лініями було відсутнє. В 1880-х роках інженер та підприємець М.І. Путилов запропонував та спроектував вантажну залізничну лінію до вантажного порту. Лінія починалася від Миколаївської залізниці, по шляхопроводам перпендикулярно перетинала Царськосельську, Варшавську та Балтійську залізниці і далі по мосту через Єкатерингофку прямувала в порт; також було побудовано відгалуження до Вугільної гавані. Після завершення будівництва лінію стали називати Портовою, але в народі прижилося інша назва — Путилівська. Також її іноді називали Сполучною, так як від усіх пересічних ліній були прокладені сполучення з Путилівською залізницею. Путилівська залізниця стала першою непасажирською, а також першою лінією, яка поєднала чотири з п'яти залізничних ліній Санкт-Петербурга.

В 1892 — 1894 роках були побудовані ще дві залізничні лінії — Іриновська та Сестрорецька, які обслуговувались Охтинським та Приморським вокзалами відповідно.

В 1905 році від станції Обухово було побудовано відгалуження на Вологду.

В 1908 — 1914 роках побудували другу сполучну лінію, що дозволила зв'язати лінію фінляндських залізниць з іншими. Залізницю провели через Кушелевку та Пискаревку, далі на південь по далеких околиць міста та через новий Фінляндський залізничний міст сполучили з лінією Миколаївської залізниці. Тоді ж була прокладена невелика ділянка, що зв'язала безпосередньо нову сполучну лінію з уже існуючою Путилівською. Ще під час будівництва цієї лінії, була прокладена тимчасова сполучна лінія по лівому берегу Неви до Літейного мосту і далі, використовуючи існуючі трамвайні колії до Нейшлотського провулку. Після завершення будівництва постійної сполучної лінії, тимчасова лінія була розібрана, проте її ділянка приблизно до сучасної вулиці Моїсеєнко діяла як під'їзна до заводів до середини 1990-х років, а колії остаточно були демонтовані лише в 2010 році.

Приблизно в ці ж роки була побудована ще одна сполучна лінія, що з'єднала нову залізницю «Санкт-Петербург — Обухово — Вологда» з усіма іншими лініями, включаючи Путилівську. Лінія отримала неофіційну назву Південна портова залізниця.

В 1917 році до Петрограда була доведена друга лінія Фінляндський залізниць «Петроград — Хійтола», яку приєднали до сполучної лінії.

В 1920-х роках були демонтовані Охтинський та Приморський вокзали, відправлення поїздів були перенесені на Фінляндський вокзал, для чого були прокладені відповідні сполучні лінії. Тоді ж було прокладено лінія «Ржевка — Нева — ГЕС-5».

В 1930-х роках для розвантаження залізничного вузла була прокладена сполучна лінія «Руч'ї — Парнас — Парголово».

В 1940 році побудована стратегічна лінія «Дача Долгорукова — Гори».

В 1960-х роках коії Варшавської залізниці, що розташовувалися на південь від Путилівської лінії в межах міста Ленінграда, були демонтовані, а поїзди пущені коліями Балтійської залізниці. Для сполучення з частиною лінії, паралельно Південної портової залізниці були прокладені нові колії з подальшим сполученням зі старою ділянкою, що прямує до Гатчини. В 2001 році пасажирські відправлення з Варшавського вокзалу припинені, приміські поїзди перенесені на Балтійський вокзал, поїзди далекого прямування — на Вітебський.

В 2002 році станція Обухово увійшла до складу станції Санкт-Петербург-Сортувальний-Московський.

У червні 2003 року на місці вантажної станції Дача Долгорукова був відкритий Ладозький вокзал, що частково розвантажив Московський та Фінляндський вокзали.

В 2017 році остаточно ліквідовані колії у Варшавського вокзалу, а музейні поїзда були перевезені звідти до нового музею у Балтійського вокзалу.

The controversial program already has the makings of a hit. The series premiere on July 1 drew half a million viewers in the U.K., driving BBC Three ratings up by 25% for the 9 p.m. time slot. That popularity will doubtless spur more debate over the show and its impact. Liz Carr, a comic who uses a wheelchair and hosts a BBC radio show on disability called Ouch!, applauds the series for presenting disabled women as beautiful and sexual, as opposed to broken and damaged. Still, she questions if reality TV is the proper platform to confront stereotypes. "I'm not sure that seeing disabled women prance around in lingerie and having their bodies objectified is the best way to change representation," she says.
True to reality TV form, the eight women live together in a crowded London penthouse, and, as the competition heats up, their claws come out. But their conflicts and insecurities, which often revolve around their disabilities, often reflect issues within the disabled community. Sophie, a 23-year old paraplegic and art student, resents the deaf contestants because they lack an obvious physical impairment. "As soon as she has the interpreter there, she's the same as any able-bodied person," she says of Kellie, a former Miss Deaf U.K. The deaf contestants have cause for their own resentment. When rushing to a 'go-see' — modelspeak for a job interview — the other contestants neglect to tell the two deaf mutes, who are nearly left behind.
Noticeably missing from the winner's prize package is a guaranteed contract from a top modeling agency, as offered on the CW's America's Next Top Model, the most popular TV modeling competition in the world; instead, London-based Take 2 Model Management has agreed to "consider" representing the winner. Those involved with the show remain realistic about the pace the modeling industry might change. "I don't think there's suddenly going to be a flood of disabled girls modeling," says O'Riordan.
But in a competition that requires courage as much as beauty, that may be beside the point. In episode three, five women perform in a fashion show alongside working models. Jenny, an American with partial paralysis stemming from a car accident, cannot physically balance in stilettos and struggles to control her limbs. Despite laughs in the audience, she mounts the runway. She braves three passes, her limbs shaking, and strikes her fiercest pose. She is beautiful.

DiGiCo console used on Danish singer's tour
A DiGiCo SD11 console was used on Danish singer-songwriter Mads Langer's recent tour, writes Paul Watson.
Danish singer-songwriter Mads Langer is now breaking through as an international artist, bringing his guitar-based ballads from his first major label release, Behold, to a wider audience. His recent end-of-year tour was aided by two DiGiCo SD11 consoles and Neumann digital microphones
Victory Tour Production provided a pair of SD11s and shared SD racks for the tour, purchased via DiGiCo's Danish distributor Soundware, with DiGiCo supplying AES42 interfaces.
"We wanted to use Neumann digital microphones and DiGiCo is one of only two manufacturers who currently offer the right interface, allowing us to have digital audio all the way from the microphone capsules to the loudspeakers," says FOH engineer Jacob Navne. "We were on a very tight budget and I needed something with a small footprint, as we were playing small venues in some of the territories where Mads is still to become a chart artist. I opted for the SD11 as it is incredibly handy and affordable."
Navne utilises 27 inputs – 16 from the digital microphones, plus a number of digital AES3 lines. The only analogue feeds were from two acoustic guitars and a ukulele.
"I mixed the show dynamically, going with the songs, the mood of the band and the capabilities of the room," Jacob reveals. "We were playing in anything from 300-capacity venues, to some holding over 2,000, so the PA and acoustics were very different from day to day. The system was very clear and transparent – they were great-sounding shows, even in small venues.
As well as the house sound, Jacob was responsible for the band's monitor mixes, which he says the SD11 helped him to do in an innovative way.
"We had no monitor engineer on the tour, so I made a rough mix for every musician at the three-day production rehearsal and used the Macro buttons on the console to make a button for every band member with his name on," he says. "When the button was pressed, the faders would flip to his aux send, which made it very easy to tweak the monitor mixes and still concentrate on a great FOH sound.

SHN GRUNDSTUECKSVERWALTUN...
SHN GRUNDSTUECKSVERWALTUNGSGESELLSCHAFT MBH & CO SENIORENRESIDENZ HOPPEGARTEN-NEUENHAGEN KG v HANNE, 2012 ABQB 624
ERB J
7.5: Application for judgment by way of summary trial
7.8: Objection to application for judgment by way of summary trial
7.9: Decision after summary trial
In Summary Trial proceedings, the Plaintiff sought recognition and enforcement in Alberta of a Judgment issued by the Berlin Regional Court of Germany, as well as the associated Costs Judgment. The Defendant raised a preliminary issue, arguing that Summary Trial proceedings were inappropriate to determine the enforceability of the foreign Judgment.
The Plaintiff argued that Summary Trial would be inappropriate because (1) viva voce evidence was necessary to determine the issues, (2) the translation of documents was unreliable, (3) expert evidence would be required to understand the German Court system, and (4) conventional pre-trial procedures and a full civil Trial were necessary to resolve conflicts in the expert evidence before the Court. The Court disagreed.
The Court affirmed that jurisprudence decided under the old Rules remains relevant in determining the suitability of Summary Trial. Thus the Court was guided by the test articulated in JN v GJK, 2004 ABCA 394, and the factors identified in Pecek v Fedun, 2007 ABQB 133 and Duff v Oshust, 2005 ABQB 117. Summary Trial is appropriate if (1) the Court can decide disputed questions of fact through the means available in a Summary Trial, and (2) It would be just to decide the issues through those means.
In determining whether the test for Summary Trial is met, a Court should consider, inter alia, the amount of money involved, the complexity and urgency of the matter, prejudice, costs, the import of Questioning in the context of the case, and whether resolution will depend on findings of credibility.
In this case, the Court found that although the Judgment for over €1.5 million put a large amount of money in issue, Summary Trial proceedings were appropriate. Erb J. found that the protracted nature of the proceedings resulted from the Defendant's conduct, rather than the complexity of the case. Noting that counsel for the Defendant characterised Questioning in this dispute as a fruitless exercise, the Court held that there was little likelihood that Questioning would bolster the Defendant's evidence. The Defendant had also failed to examine other potential witnesses when given the opportunity. Although there were differences of opinion in the expert Affidavits explaining the German legal system, the Court held that these differences were not sufficient to require a full Trial to resolve issues of credibility. Furthermore, Erb J. held that the conflict in the Affidavit evidence did not have to be resolved to determine the issues before the Court.
