The European Court of Human Rights is an international court based in Strasbourg. It consists of a number of judges equal to the number of member States of the Council of Europe that have ratified the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms – currently forty-five.
The Court's judges sit in their individual capacity and do not represent any State. In dealing with applications, the Court is assisted by a Registry consisting mainly of lawyers from all the member States (who are also known as legal secretaries). They are entirely independent of their country of origin and do not represent either applicants or States.

The European Court is a judicial body, established by the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The Court is based in Strasbourg, France and is a full time permanent body.
The Court is composed of forty-five judges, one judge for each state party to the ECHR. Article 20 ECHR establishes that 'The Court shall consist of a number of judges equal to that of the High Contracting Parties.'
'The judges shall be of high moral character and must either possess the qualifications required for appointment to high judicial office or be jurisconsults of recognised competence' (Article 21(1) ECHR).
The judges shall sit on the Court in their individual capacity (Article 21(2) ECHR).
Ad hoc judges: Rule 29(1) Rules of Court. '1.(a) If the judge elected in respect of a Contracting Party concerned is unable to sit in the Chamber, withdraws, or is exempted, the President of the Chamber shall invite that Party to indicate whether it wishes to appoint to sit as judge either another elected judge or an ad hoc judge and, if so, to state at the same time the name of the person appointed.'

European Court – Practical Guide on Admissibility. European Court of Human Rights [Internet]. 2014. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://www.echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=caselaw/analysis&c=#n1347458601286_pointer
This practical guide to the conditions of admissibility of individual applications is to be seen in the same context. It is designed to present a clearer and more detailed picture of the conditions of admissibility with a view, firstly, to reducing as far as possible the number of applications which have no prospect of resulting in a ruling on the merits and, secondly, to ensuring that those applications which warrant examination on the merits pass the admissibility test. At present, in most cases which pass that test, the admissibility and merits are examined at the same time, which simplifies and speeds up the procedure.
This document is aimed principally at legal practitioners and in particular at lawyers who may be called upon to represent applicants before the Court. All the admissibility criteria set forth in Articles 34 (individual applications) and 35 (admissibility criteria) of the Convention have been examined in the light of the Court's case- law. Naturally, some concepts, such as the six-month time-limit and, to a lesser extent, the exhaustion of domestic remedies, are more easily defined than others such as the concept of "manifestly ill-founded", which can be broken down almost ad infinitum, or the Court's jurisdiction ratione materiae or ratione personae. Furthermore, some Articles are relied on much more frequently than others by applicants, and some States have not ratified all the additional Protocols to the Convention, while others have issued reservations with regard to the scope of certain provisions. The rare instances of inter-State applications have not been taken into account as they call for a very different kind of approach. This guide does not therefore claim to be exhaustive and will concentrate on the most commonly occurring scenarios.

Violence against Women in the context of Political Transformations and Economic Crisis in the Euro-Mediterranean Region: Trends and Recommendations towards Equality and Justice. EuroMed Rights - Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network; 2014. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://euromedrights.org/publication/violence-against-women-in-the-conte...
On the occasion of International Women's Day (8th of March), the Euro Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) published today its regional report "Violence against women in the context of political transformations and economic crisis in the Euro-Mediterranean region; trends and recommendations towards equality and justice".
This report alerts that violence against women has dramatically increased in the Euro-Mediterranean region during the recent years, showcasing key patterns of violence against women, through case studies from Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Libya, France, Cyprus and Spain.
The report also underlines the alarming increase and severity of sexual violence in countries such as Libya, Syria and Egypt mounting to sexual terrorism. In Egypt, women protestors were subjected to systematic and seemingly planned harassment and gang rapes in Tahrir Square. In Syria, women and are subjected to trafficking and sexual exploitation girls in refugee camps.
The EU Rights of Victims of Trafficking in Human Beings. Belgium: European Union; 2013. Publisher's VersionAbstract
https://ec.europa.eu/anti-trafficking/eu-policy/eu-rights-victims-traffi...
In order to better assist practitioners and authorities in the Member States to deliver the assistance and protection to victims, the European Commission publishes the document 'The EU rights of victims of trafficking' in all official EU languages.
The EU approach places the victim and its human rights at the centre of its coordinated, multidisciplinary action to work towards eradication of trafficking in human beings.
This document provides a practical and comprehensive overview of victims' rights based on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, EU directives, framework decisions and European Court of Human Rights case law.
The overview will be used by victims and practitioners working in the field of trafficking in human beings and will contribute to the effective realisation of these rights by helping authorities in the Member States to deliver the assistance and protection that victims need and deserve. It does in no way constitute a binding interpretation of EU legislation. All rights need to be read within the context of the full legal provision and appropriate legislation.

The European Women's Lobby is pleased to unveil its 2013 Barometer on Rape in Europe.
Thanks to the work and expertise of the experts to the EWL Observatory on violence against women, the EWL has produced a strong policy document analysing the incidence of Rape in Europe.
The Barometer is a very important tool to get a European overview of national actions on violence against women and compare European countries with regards to their commitment to eradicate such violence.
Review of the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action in the EU Member States: Violence against women Victim support - Report. European Institute for Gender Equality; 2013. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://eige.europa.eu/rdc/eige-publications/violence-against-women-victi...
Domestic violence against women remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations of our time, and one of the biggest global problems. In the EU, 9 out of 10 victims of intimate partner violence are women. It harms women, families, communities and society.
The EU is committed to combatting violence against women. This commitment is affirmed in the Women's Charter (2010), the European Commission's Strategy for Equality between Women and Men 2010−15 and the Stockholm Programme for 2010−14. However, domestic violence against women still remains widespread and under-reported.
The current report aims to support policymakers and all relevant institutions in their efforts to combat and prevent domestic violence, by providing them with reliable and comparable data and information for effective, evidence-based decisions and policy improvement.

http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/pages/search.aspx?i=001-122375#{"itemid":["001-122375"]}
1. The case originated in an application (no. 74839/10) against the Republic of Moldova lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") by a Moldovan national, Ms Lidia Mudric ("the applicant"), on 21 December 2010.
2. The applicant, who had been granted legal aid, was represented by Ms D. Străisteanu, a lawyer practising in Chişinău. The Moldovan Government ("the Government") were represented by their Agent, Mr V. Grosu.
3. The applicant alleged, in particular, that the authorities had not discharged their positive obligations under Articles 3, 14 and 17 of the Convention to protect her from domestic violence and to punish her aggressor.
4. On 18 March 2011 the application was communicated to the Government. It was also decided to rule on the admissibility and merits of the application at the same time (Article 29 § 1).
5. Third-party comments were received from the Equal Rights Trust, a non-governmental organisation based in London, the United Kingdom, which had been given leave by the President to intervene in the procedure (Article 36 § 2 of the Convention and Rule 44 § 2 of the Rules of Court). The Government replied to those comments (Rule 44 § 5).

Sargizova J. Countries Work to Monitor and Implement Laws on Violence Against Women and Girls. UNFPA; 2013. Publisher's VersionAbstract

As part of The Advocates for Human Rights' work in creating the section on Developing Legislation on Violence against Women and Girls for UNIFEM's new website, the Global Centre to End Violence against Women and Girls (http://endvawnow.org), we recently asked our colleagues from around the world to share information on projects on advocacy, monitoring and implementation of laws on violence against women and girls that have worked well in their countries. In the next several VAW Monitors, The Advocates will highlight some of the responses we received. We thank all who sent us examples of their work. The scope of the work that dedicated activists accomplish each year to end violence against women is truly inspiring!
Haugli H. Tackling discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity. [Internet]. 2013. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://assembly.coe.int/nw/xml/XRef/Xref-DocDetails-EN.asp?fileid=19779&lang=EN&search=U2V4dWFsIG9yaWVudGF0aW9ufHR5cGVfc3RyX2VuOlJlcG9ydA==
Since 2010, when both the Parliamentary Assembly and the Committee of Ministers adopted far-reaching texts on how to tackle discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, important positive developments have occurred in some Council of Europe member States, including the introduction of specific legislative measures, action plans and strategies.
Despite this progress, however, prejudice against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons (LGBTs) is widespread in society. Discrimination against LGBTs remains a serious problem, as indicated by repeated infringements of the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and the authorities' failure to provide protection against homophobic and transphobic violence. The introduction of legislation or draft legislation on the prohibition of so-called homosexual propaganda in countries such as Lithuania, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation and Ukraine is at variance with these countries' legal obligations. It would also legitimise the prejudice against LGBTs which all too often is fuelled by inconsiderate discourse by politicians and other authoritative figures.
Council of Europe member States should take measures to prevent discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, promote equality and tackle homophobia and transphobia. The Republic of Moldova, Poland and the Russian Federation should give full execution to the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights.
The Committee of Ministers should continue to strengthen its activities in this area with a view to ensuring the full implementation of its Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)5.

http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5305/intelegamate.51.1.0106
The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (''Convention'')1 joins a small number of treaties imposing specific obligations on member states to prevent and address violence against women. The Convention is notable both for its encapsulation of best practices in combating violence against women and for its confirmation that all forms of violence against women, including domestic violence, are human rights violations for which states are responsible.

European Court – New Admissibility Criterion. European Court of Human Rights [Internet]. 2012. Publisher's VersionAbstract
The purpose of the current overview is to set out the case-law principles for the new admissibility criterion under Article 35 § 3 (b), as developed by the Court during the first two years of its operation. It is to be recalled that application of the criterion was reserved exclusively to Chambers and the Grand Chamber1 from 1 June 2010 until 31 May 2012. In accordance with Article 20 of Protocol No. 14, the new provision began to apply to all applications pending before the Court, except those declared admissible.

The table covers references made in any part of the Court's judgments (facts and law), including separate opinions of Judges. There are a total of 25 cases.
"He Loves You, He Beats You" - Family Violence in Turkey and Access to Protection. Human Rights Watch; 2011. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://www.hrw.org/reports/2011/05/04/he-loves-you-he-beats-you
This report documents brutal and long-lasting violence against women and girls by husbands, partners, and family members and the survivors' struggle to seek protection. Turkey has strong protection laws, setting out requirements for shelters for abused women and protection orders. However, gaps in the law and implementation failures by police, prosecutors, judges, and other officials make the protection system unpredictable at best, and at times downright dangerous.
Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. Council of Europe; 2011. Publisher's VersionAbstract
http://www.coe.int/en/web/istanbul-convention/text-of-the-convention
Stalking, sexual harassment, sexual violence and rape, physical, sexual and psychological abuse at the hands of intimate partners, forced marriage, and forced sterilisation are deeply traumatising acts of violence. The overwhelming majority of victims are women. Adding female genital mutilation and forced abortion as forms of violence that only women can be subjected to, shows the shocking level of diversity in cruel and degrading behaviour that women experience. If we consider the fact that most violence is carried out by men, it is just a small step to understanding that violence against women is structural violence – violence that is used to sustain male power and control. This is even more obvious if we look at the patchy attempts of the police, courts and social services to help women victims which is seen in many countries across the world.
The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence is based on the understanding that violence against women is a form of gender-based violence that is committed against women because they are women. It is the obligation of the state to fully address it in all its forms and to take measures to prevent violence against women, protect its victims and prosecute the perpetrators. Failure to do so would make it the responsibility of the state. The convention leaves no doubt: there can be no real equality between women and men if women experience gender-based violence on a large-scale and state agencies and institutions turn a blind eye.
Because it is not only women who suffer domestic violence, parties to the convention are encouraged to apply the protective framework it creates to men, children and the elderly who are exposed to violence within the family or domestic unit. Still, it should not be overlooked that the majority of victims of domestic violence are women and that domestic violence against them is part of a wider pattern of discrimination and inequality.

Administration December 10, 2014
2015 Year in Preview
Trends, legislation, regulations and litigation will continue to affect the retirement industry in 2015.
The retirement plan industry is an ever-evolving landscape, shaped each year by growing and emerging trends, as well as prior and new legal initiatives.
Tami Simon, managing director of the Knowledge Resource Center at Buck Consultants at Xerox, in Washington, D.C., says retirement plan sponsors are going to continue to focus on spending on their retirement programs, shifting from a shorter-term reactionary point of view to a more strategic perspective. They will look at how their plans fit with the goals of the company and try to restore confidence and a sense of financial well-being for their employees.
Plan sponsors will promote and offer services to help employees manage day-to-day finances, as well as help them understand how to save properly based on their standard of living at different ages, according to Simon. "Employers are stepping up to help employees manage longer-term finances, since employees are not saving enough for retirement," she says.
Rob Austin, director of retirement research at Aon Hewitt, in Charlotte, North Carolina, says Aon Hewitt is seeing that financial wellness is the No. 1 initiative plan sponsors will take on in 2015. "Saving for retirement is very important, but for some populations, retirement is way down the road and on the back-burner," he notes. "But, when we talk about how to handle student loans or how to save for different needs, that perks up their ears."
Debt management, credit score management, credit counseling, budgeting, comparing credit cards, and understanding the difference between stocks and bonds are all financial wellness issues, Austin says. Plan sponsors may provide access to financial planners or other help for employees to create broad financial plans that include things like saving to buy a house or car. He says financial wellness programs should appeal to employees at different life stages.
"Employers are doing this because it's a benefit. It not only helps employees, but makes them appreciative of the employer," Austin observes. He says employers can provide financial wellness services on a much bigger scale than individuals may get on their own.
In addition to financial wellness, plan sponsors are looking to do more with their retirement plans beyond providing a match contribution, Austin says. "They are asking, 'What else can we do that isn't necessarily putting hard dollar amounts into the plan, but will help participants get to a good retirement income?'"
Employers are focusing on getting money into the plan, optimizing investments and making sure participants are taking assets out of the plan at the appropriate time, according to Austin.
He notes that the use of automation has been going on for almost a decade, but emerging trends include changes in default rates used in automatic enrollment, more plan sponsors pairing automatic enrollment with automatic deferral escalation, and increasing auto-escalation ceilings. More employers also are relaxing eligibility requirements—either by including union, part-time employees or other groups previously excluded, or by eliminating waiting periods for entering the plan. "We used to see only about 50% of plan sponsors allowing for immediate eligibility; now about three-quarters do," he says.
According to Austin, more plan sponsors are adopting Roth accounts as well, in part because employees are unsure about what taxes will do in future, but also because of legislative proposals for further limiting the amount of pre-tax deferrals by participants. "Some employers are saying, 'If changes take place in Washington, our plan is primed,'" he says.
Providing investment help has shifted direction from offering target-date funds (TDFs) in plan investment menus to giving access to online advice, managed accounts and financial planners or advisers, Austin notes. Now, providing help is more the norm than the exception, with more than 50% of plan sponsors offering some kind of help. "I think individuals have made it abundantly known [that] investing is not their strong suit, or they don't have time to get into it," he says.
Austin also points out collective investment trusts (CITs) are making a comeback. He says plan sponsors are moving from mutual funds to CITs as a way to lower fees to increase employee outcomes.
"Plan sponsors are asking, 'What can we do to help individuals translate this big accumulation into sustainable income in retirement?'" Austin says. Aon Hewitt is seeing more interest in drawdown features and in annuities following the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)'s final rules about deferred income annuities in retirement plans.
Some companies are acting to curb retirement account leakage, Austin says. Plans that allowed for multiple loans now permit only one outstanding loan at a time, he explains, or plan sponsors have added a waiting period to take a loan. Austin says his firm does not see the same efforts being made to limit hardship withdrawals. "Plan sponsors think about a hierarchy of needs; saving for retirement is not more important than having a roof over one's head or being healthy," he says. "Plus, there are enough checks and balances with hardship withdrawals, but not with loans."
Simon adds that plan sponsors are expanding communication channels to reach workers, and social media will come more into play. And, for defined benefit (DB) plans, in 2015, more plan sponsors will conduct asset/liability studies to understand how different economic scenarios can impact their plans, and will examine the pros and cons of plan termination or risk transfer.
On the legislative front, Simon warns that tax reform has the potential to really affect retirement plans. She doesn't think the proposal put forth by U.S. Representative Dave Camp (R-Michigan) in 2014 will be enacted, but she believes future proposals will borrow from it. "Shifting half of the 402(g) deferral limit to after-tax and freezing deferral limits for 10 years will be big discussion points in Congress," she predicts.
At the state level, a number of states have moved to use their public retirement systems to offer retirement plans for private-sector workers (see "States Moving to Fill Private-Sector Retirement Plan Void"). According to news reports, Illinois is poised to be the first state to enact legislation to do so, as just last week, the Illinois House approved the state's Secure Choice plan proposal.
The Department of Labor (DOL) has been working on its re-proposal of a new definition of "fiduciary" since 2011. Now calling it the "conflict-of-interest rule," the agency still has the re-proposal slated for January 2015 on its most recent regulatory agenda.
Lisa H. Barton, a partner with law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, says she expects the re-proposal to be issued in 2015. She notes there is obviously a lot of industry concern about expanding the definition of fiduciary to include all investment advisers, as this could significantly impact the way retirement advice is given to participants, as well as costs and who is involved. "Probably one of the things that is going to happen if investment advisers are fiduciaries is that services will potentially cost more. Participants may have to pay more for advice they've gotten previously because advisers will be taking on more risk," she says.
Barton says plan sponsors can also expect guidance on self-directed brokerage accounts in 2015: guidance about the fiduciary responsibility for reviewing certain investment options in a self-directed brokerage account, and possible fee or disclosure requirements. In August, the DOL issued a request for information (RFI) about the use of brokerage windows, self-directed brokerage accounts and similar features in 401(k)-type retirement plans. The comment period ended in November. There is no anticipated date for a proposed rule in the DOL's regulatory agenda.
However, the DOL lists a September 2015 date for a final rule about a guide or similar requirement to help plan sponsors understand service provider fee disclosures. The DOL says the guide would ask covered service providers (CSPs) to provide a "roadmap [to identify] the document and page [number] or other sufficiently specific locator, such as a section, that enables the responsible plan fiduciary to quickly and easily find the [information]." The agency has recently asked for permission to issue a request for information and establish focus groups to get information about the effectiveness of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) Section 408(b)(2) service provider fee disclosures. Barton says a final rule would give more guidance about what service providers would need to include with fee disclosures. Specifically, she explains, the DOL has been concerned that because some of the fee disclosure information is provided in multiple documents or complicated formats, plan sponsors and fiduciaries may not be able to adequately understand the fees that are being paid by the plan. Formalizing a guide to reading the fee disclosures will help plan sponsors and fiduciaries understand how to read and interpret the documents being provided.
Barton also thinks plan sponsors can expect more guidance about lifetime income illustrations on benefit statements. The DOL issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking in 2013, which Assistant Secretary of Labor Phyllis Borzi, with the DOL's Employee Benefit Security Administration (EBSA), said is issued when the DOL thinks there is a problem but is not sure if a regulation would be the solution. Barton notes that a lot of providers already have this information on participant benefit statements, but may be using different assumptions for calculating it. She thinks the DOL's guidance would help to standardize the information and allow the data to be more consistent across the industry.
Although it's not on the DOL's latest regulatory agenda, Barton says she understands that the DOL is evaluating the level of disclosure required for target-date funds (TDFs). However, this does not appear to be at the top of the DOL's priorities, so any guidance or regulation would likely be issued late in 2015 or early 2016.
From the IRS, Barton says there has been talk about providing relief from nondiscrimination requirements for closed defined benefit plans. Legislators have appealed to the Department of Treasury for relief, saying nondiscrimination testing required to qualify a DB plan for tax-deferred status makes it difficult for companies to enact soft freezes on pension plans—even though soft freezes can result in better retirement outcomes for employees than simply closing a pension plan outright. The problem is that, over time, grandfathered employees in the old system typically build seniority and become more highly compensated than younger workers entering into a company's defined contribution (DC) plan. This widens the income gap between the two groups and inadvertently increases the likelihood that the DB plan will fail to meet nondiscrimination standards.
According to Barton, the IRS and DOL are also considering providing de-risking guidance for companies looking to de-risk pension plans by annuitizing part of benefits with an annuity provider. On October 24, 2014, members of the United State Senate sent a letter to the heads of various government agencies, including the IRS, DOL and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) requesting guidance. The letter addressed a number of concerns, including annuitization of pension liabilities and allowing retirees in pay status to elect to receive lump-sum distributions.
Finally, Barton says the IRS is looking at requiring more substantiation for hardship distributions from retirement plans. Currently, plan sponsors, fiduciaries and service providers may vary in what is required to be provided to substantiate hardship distributions, she explains. The concern is that participants may be taking distributions that might not adequately support a hardship distribution. The IRS guidance would likely more clearly explain what is required in order to take a hardship distribution from a defined contribution plan.
The IRS is also expanding pre-approved retirement plan document programs. The deadline for submitting pre-approved 403(b) plan documents is April 30, 2015. However, industry experts agree it will take at least a year for the agency to review them and decide which documents are approved. The IRS has also been preparing to expand its pre-approved defined benefit plan program to include plans with cash balance features. The agency said it is developing tools, which will be available before June 30, 2015, to assist plan sponsors in drafting these plans.
A number of lawsuits have been filed challenging the"church plan" status of retirement plans offered by health systems. Results of the lawsuits could affect 30 years of legal and regulatory precedents, so their progress will be closely watched in 2015.
As Barton notes, the Supreme Court's review of the Tibble v. Edison excessive fee case will also be closely followed. A U.S. District Court held that utility company Edison International had breached its duty of prudence by offering retail-class mutual funds as plan investments when identical institutional funds were available at a lower cost. The case involved mutual funds that were added to the 401(k) plan between 1999 and 2007, when the case was filed. The court limited its holding to three mutual funds that had first been offered to plan participants within the six-year limitations period provided under ERISA. The ruling was appealed to the 9th Circuit, but the appeals court upheld the District Court's decision to limit the plaintiff's claims to the three mutual funds adopted within the ERISA statute of limitations period. This led to a final appeal attempt from Tibble, endorsed by the U.S. Solicitor General, asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on whether such claims should be time-barred. According to Tibble and counsel, if the limitations period bars claims for funds still offered by the plan, it effectively eliminates the plan sponsor's duty to monitor and review funds placed on its plan's investment lineup more than six years ago.
According to Barton, if the Supreme Court decides a statute of limitations does not apply in the case, the court may provide additional information regarding the appropriate process for evaluating and determining plan investments and reasonableness of fees in light of the steps the fiduciaries did or did not take in this case. The impact would be to further provide reasons to formalize the investment review process, because plan sponsors and fiduciaries will not be relieved from their duty to monitor investments, including which asset classes are offered. If the court decides a statute of limitations does apply, it will not change the need for a prudent process, but it is likely these other issues will not be addressed, Barton says.
The effect of the Supreme Court's decision in Fifth Third Bancorp v. Dudenhoeffer may also be revealed in 2015, Barton adds. "Next year, we will be able to tell whether the absence of a presumption of prudence will increase the number of stock drop cases that are filed," she says. "Plan sponsors need to review their process for evaluating employer stock in light of the Dudenhoeffer decision."

A beautiful Catholic wedding with traditional Mexican flair best describes Allegra and Cesar's wedding day. They said, "I Do" on May 28, 2016, and will forever cherish the memories made with their family and friends. Allegra had a vision for her wedding day, and it was our job to help her find a gown that would complement every other detail.
After an unsuccessful bridal appointment at another shop, Allegra found herself at Ava's. Feeling a bit discouraged, she explained her wants and needs to her consultant. She was looking for an all lace gown, white or off-white in color, a decent train, and some sort of sleeve. Kelly, her consultant, pulled several styles for Allegra, keeping her requests in mind, and throwing in a few other styles to reinforce her original requests. Allegra was pleasantly surprised to have loved a number of these gowns, but still reverted to a gown that almost matched her vision exactly; Allure Bridals' Style #2800.
This gorgeous sheath gown showcases lace from top to bottom in a delicate design. The cap sleeves sit ever so delicately on the shoulders, and compliment the V-neckline. The back of this gown creates a striking look with a low back and lace scalloped train. We suggested swapping the ivory underlay for champagne to make the lace really pop and add a custom touch to Allegra's gown. She was so pleased to have found a gown that matched her style so closely. Most importantly, she said, "I could move in it very easily and it was soft. I'm really big on comfort and had no problems walking around, sitting, or dancing!".
The couple's wedding theme can best be described as organic minimalist. From the flower selection to the wedding venues, and details on Allegra's gown, this theme was carried out perfectly. Family and tradition are very important to Allegra and Cesar, so they took their time to ensure that both were represented all throughout the day. Holy Family Catholic Church in Fort Worth was the site of their ceremony. It was a beautiful full mass that represented the covenant of marriage and their love for each other. The couple and their guests then celebrated their union at Times Ten Cellars for a reception. Cesar's family is from Mexico, so they couldn't think of a better way to kick off the party then with some Mariachi.
Though the day was perfect, they were missing one very special guest; Allegra's father. He passed away prior to the wedding, but was still very much there in spirit. Cesar was able to track down a 1970s BMW 2002, an identical match to the one her dad drove for over 20 years. Allegra had so many fond memories from her childhood riding in her dad's car, and they all came flooding back that day. She was so touched that Cesar spent all that time to ensure that her Dad was honored in such a special way. It was the perfect getaway car at the end of the evening.
The gown featured in this blog has been discontinued. For additional gowns similar to this one, or to set an appointment, contact Ava's Bridal Couture at 817-732-4457 or visit www.avasbridalcouture.com.

Unfortunately, it's not always possible to carve time out of our schedules to visit the spa. So given the demand for in-home, professional-quality products, companies have started to release compact, personal-use versions of a number of traditional spa staples, such as hair-removal lasers and wrinkle-fighting LED machines.
Now, the latest of these gadgets is called ZIIP. Even with its compact size, this handheld device has the potential to do wonders for your skin, and it's all thanks to the magic of something called nano-current.
Simply put, nano-current is a steady, low-intensity stream of electricity. This small electrical current stimulates the skin and helps jump-start our bodies' natural regenerative process. Understandably, some people get a little nervous when they hear things like "electrical current," but there's nothing to worry about with this device. The electricity level in nano-current is perfectly safe. In fact, it's so low that you won't even be able to feel it. You will, however, be able to see the results.
What Does Nano-Current Do to the Body?
The low level of electrical current delivered by ZIIP provides a number of potential benefits to your skin. Nano-current increases your skin's circulation, allowing more blood to pass through the cells. This increased blood flow can result in an increased production of elastin and collagen, giving your skin a smoother, healthier appearance.
Not only does nano-current improve the overall health of your skin, but it can also help to reduce signs of aging. One of the most important parts of our skin is a cellular material known as ATP, which basically serves as a storage center for cellular energy. As we get older, this ATP starts to break down, which means that our skin begins to weaken, resulting wrinkles, sagging skin and lost elasticity. Nano-current devices, such as ZIIP, help to reactivate this ATP within the cells of our skin. Once ATP is restored, our skin cells naturally start to repair themselves, a process that can take years off of your appearance.
ZIIP is also a true next-generation product, as it makes use of an integrated app. Through the ZIIP app on your iPhone or iPad, you can upload different treatment options to your ZIIP device. This type of customization allows you to personalize your experience and pick a treatment that works best for your skin.
Maintaining your skin's health is one of the keys to looking your best. Nano-current devices, such as ZIIP, work with the natural rejuvenation processes of your body and can keep your skin looking healthy and young.

De har haft flera spelningar i hela USA och spelat på "Give It a Name"-festivalen i Storbritannien i maj 2008.

I oktober 2008 hade bandet släppt 2 EP, (Falling Into Place, Finch) och två studioalbum, What It Is to Burn och Say Hello To Sunshine. Efter att de avslutat sin sommarturné kommer de börja spela in nästa studioalbum. Back to Oblivion utgavs 2014. Bandet splittrades 2016. I början av 2016 bildade Linares, Pappas och Wonacott ett nytt band tillsammans med Buddy Nielsen från bandet Senses Fail som heter Speak the Truth...Even if Your Voice Shakes, men huvudsakligen benämnd bara Speak the Truth. Nate Barcalow bildade en elektronisk duo kallad Private Lives. Duon utgav albumet No Future i maj 2017,

Late Night Television
Paul McCartney Was Definitely Not Impressed By James Corden's Office Tour
By Megan McCluskey
August 15, 2018 11:00 AM EDT
After filming a special hour-long Carpool Karaoke with Paul McCartney in his hometown of Liverpool, James Corden decided to give the Beatle a tour of his own personal sanctuary: The Late Late Show production office.
"Everybody loved being in your childhood home, seeing the place where you first became a huge success," Corden explained. "So I thought I'd return the favor and show you the place where I first became a huge success."
Unfortunately for the late-night host, McCartney was less than impressed by Corden waxing nostalgic over the time there was no paper in the copy machine, introducing him to an accountant who he thought was named Paul, and demonstrating the proper ratio of peanut butter to almond butter to jelly in a sandwich.
"James, is this what you had me fly all the way out to L.A. for?" McCartney justifiably wondered.

Ryan Reynolds Dares to Try World's Grossest Drink on Fallon


I found this patterns in an Australian Quilters Companion Book #55 several years ago and put it aside until I mastered the art of Bargello quilts. I am delighted with the finished quilt.
The hatching chicks and egg applique are from Fat Cat Patterns. Hope a child likes it!
This is another one for the nursing home bingo prizes. I wanted to make this one appealing to a gentleman, so it has fish in some of the blocks, the rest is a Behind the Scenes charm pack from Moda, and the sashings, backing and border fabrics are from my stash.
My first appliqué quilt using satin stitching for the appliqué process. Third free motion quilt. Made for my other niece, who adores cats.
Stitched with love for my valentine. 60 x60 using twist template for the heart and then (as my mother used to say when cooking) by "guess and by "gosh" for the balance of quilt.
Colorful, fun print jelly roll + confetti on black border and backing + striped binding = Upbeat lap quilt. The longarmer quilted a loop design.


The word Mortgage is often used to refer Mortgage Loan for buying a real estate item from a lender; mostly a bank. Here we will discuss pension mortgages which are a common interest-only mortgage type mostly common in United Kingdom.
A Pension Mortgage borrower is only subject to a payment of interest only throughout the lifetime of mortgage. Does not it sound too good to be true? The fact is that all pension mortgages can be backed with an additional investment plan in the form of borrower's personal pension; a stock market based investment subject to tax exemption and tax relief at the end of the retirement. To be precise, a pensioner will gain two things at the end of his retirement. Firstly, a lump sum handsome and tax free amount called personal pension, which is mostly used to pay off the mortgage at the end of the retirement. Secondly, a monthly taxable income which the pensioner might use for his survival for whatsoever life he has left! However, since the 2014 budget, the compulsory nature of buying an annuity with the remaining 75% is under scrutiny. Particularly, the rules for personal pensions & occupational money purchase schemes have seen a sea change!
Maybe a resurgence in pension mortgage will now be seen given the fact that someone can take the whole pension now as a lump sum, but subject to taxation.
The only advantage seen in pension mortgages is the tax exemption at the end of the retirement on personal pension but one only benefits from that if he falls under the higher end of taxable income. The lesser the income, the lower the tax exemption and benefit of a pension mortgage.
Given the pension amount inflates in the stock market and does not meet stock market bazaar nature, a pension mortgage might benefit the borrower at the end of the term. But the way stock market rates fluctuate nowadays, it is a tough call. Depending on your age, mortgage period can prove to be longer than expected, subjecting you to interest only payments for a longer than expected period. Also, age limit for pension mortgage is 60 years and above, during which your total mortgage debt remains the same.
An interest-only pensioner mortgage is not the only choice open to you in retirement or as you edge closer to retirement. In fact if you do not have enough in your pension account to pay for your pension mortgage there is an option. You can enter into some of the retirement mortgage options like lifetime mortgage. This would help clear any outstanding shortfall if one existed.
A retirement mortgage such as the likes of Hodge Lifetime offer, leaves the payment until the end of your life or you move to a care facility. Interest still adds on to this type of loan; however, the payment is not made until the end for interest either. The way this works is by using the equity in your home. You can use this equity to pay off any existing mortgage that might have dried out your pension or will dry it out.
Under a lifetime mortgage you still obtain tax free cash. You can use this cash as you wish and you can always set up a savings account to help repay it in the end. The main importance is that this type of loan is set up for retirees. It is designed to ensure you can afford your home throughout your life and enjoy your retirement.
Pension mortgages have their uses. They are also harder and harder to find due to the troubling economic situation. Lifetime mortgages are becoming more common. They do not use a savings fund to make payments in the end, but you can always set up an account and let it grow interest.
With equity release you can be 55 or older. This can be advantageous if you are about to retire and still have a mortgage payment you wish to get rid of.
Pension mortgage options as you read above have to repaid usually by 60-70, which can mean you enter retirement with full repayment of the mortgage.
You have to decide what is right for you and your family. You may end up having to sell your home. The pension mortgage can help guarantee the home sale is the last resort where lifetime mortgages cannot.
From this end of the table, we can confidently suggest that opt for a pension mortgages only if you can constantly monitor your pension fund's performance because at the end of the mortgage term your personal pension is your only source to pay off the mortgage and maintain a lifestyle during retirement.

High Point in Brockton closes young adult substance treatment program
Mina Corpuz The Enterprise mlcorpuz
CASTLE was High Point's first adolescent-focused program, according to the organization.
BROCKTON — After more than a decade of helping teens and young adults with substance use issues, High Point Treatment Center's CASTLE program has closed due to low participation and ongoing financial losses.
CASTLE, which stands for Clean and Sober Teens Living Empowered, was a two-week stabilization program where participants stayed at a 24-hour treatment facility based at High Point's Meadowbrook campus in Brockton. It was High Point's first adolescent-focused program, according to the organization.
"It's a bit sad. It was a lot of hard work to put this together," said Daniel Mumbauer, president and CEO of High Point, during a walk-through of the building Wednesday.
The program operated up until last week and had four participants and about 50 full- and part-time staff members, he said.
One participant who was under 18 went to an adolescent treatment program in Worcester, another was discharged and went home and two who were older than 18 transitioned into High Point adult programs, Mumbauer said.
Before making the decision, officials looked at whether there was an alternative to treating young adults. They found that providing home-based services would be a better option.
Instead of participants living in the residential treatment program, staff visit the young adults at home.
"Times change and needs change," Mumbauer said.
This shift in focus and cost were factors in why the CASTLE program closed, he said.
Over the years, the program had been operating with a deficit, including a $900,000 loss in 2019, according to High Point.
The closure comes around the same time that High Point closed its inpatient psychiatric services in Middleboro. A drop in admissions was a reason why that service ended, according to High Point.
Mumbauer said the building where the CASTLE program operated will serve as offices for High Point's preventative services staff and for the home-based services staff who previously rented space elsewhere in the city. The space is expected to be converted from a treatment facility into office space after Labor Day.
The program began 11 years ago. Originally, it had 24 treatment beds for adolescents under the age of 18.
Due to low demand, it began to serve those over the age of 16 and reconfigured to offer 18 treatment beds, Mumbauer said.
The program averaged about seven participants, he said.
CASTLE operated in a brick building constructed in 1893. Maintenance staff built a wooden gate outside to make it look more like a castle, Mumbauer said.
Although the program ended last week, the building still has signs of the young adults who temporarily lived there and staff who worked there.
Most of the beds no longer had sheets or personal belongings in the rooms, but some personal touches, like names of people written on white boards or laminated sheets outside the room remained.
Murals and inspirational quotes were painted on the walls. Several pianos remained in a music room. Files and office supplies sit in the counseling and case manager spaces.
"It's a bit bittersweet," Mumbauer said toward the end of the walk-through.

Cincinnati CBP Reveals Unique Seizures & Concealment Methods

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers and agriculture specialists stationed in Cincinnati routinely encounter unique concealment methods employed by smugglers of all types.
From dangerous narcotics, fake IDs, illegal steroids and smuggled cash, to agricultural pests and invasive or endangered species, the officers and specialists have seen it all.

Nationwide, CBP agriculture specialists discovered more than 352 pests and 4,638 quarantine materials and CBP officers seized more than 5,863 pounds of narcotics on any given day in fiscal year 2017.
"Our officers are very familiar with the many ways smugglers try to evade inspection," said Cincinnati Port Director Ron Cloud.
"Officers learn to think creatively about where things might be hidden because drugs can be anywhere—inside books, auto parts, spools of ribbon, crepe makers, study binders, food, statues, photo frames—if there is space inside an item it could contain something illegal."
Marijuana may be in soap bottles, wedged into CD cases, and tucked between folded bedsheets.

Sometimes the commodity shipped will be completely legitimate but drugs are injected into the box flaps of the packaging.
Canned goods could contain bottles of what appears to be antibiotics but testing reveals they contain synthetic marijuana.
Tortellini packages could hold prohibited lamb meat instead of pasta. Car mirrors and backpacks can be engineered with secret compartments that hold cocaine.
Often, enforcement areas overlap.

There could be marijuana or federal noxious weeds in tea cans, and bags of candy could contain marijuana-laced sweets or prohibited pork, all packaged to look like innocuous treats.
CBP officers discover 37 wrapped packages of methamphetamine concealed in the spare tire, quarter panels and seats of a Honda Civic.
Sometimes the shipment is prohibited for multiple reasons, such as seeds and cocaine smuggled together in a finished wood product.
"Our agriculture specialists are trained to understand the current agriculture risks and disease status of every country in the world," said CBP Supervisory Agriculture Specialist Barbara Hassan.
"Any plant or animal product might be carrying a disease or a pest that could seriously damage the agriculture industry and our native plants and animals in the United States."
Since CBP officers and specialists screen all shipments and passengers that enter the U.S., they work closely with other government agencies to ensure the safety of U.S. citizens and wildlife.
CBP agriculture specialists ensure that imported produce is free of destructive hitchhiker pests.
Fifty pound boxes labelled as "ceramic tea set," "grinding wheel disc," or "clothing," could contain nothing but bags full of live blood clams.
Blood clams are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because these animals can live in anoxic environments and therefore can pass along diseases such as typhoid and hepatitis to those handling or consuming them.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) works with CBP to prevent the introduction of invasive species like live mitten crabs found manifested as "Trousers," "Shoes," and "Clothes."
Mitten crabs are considered a global threat and are listed on the Global Species Database's list of "100 of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species" because of their disastrous impact on native habitats.

Animals in the exotic pet trade make up a significant portion of the illegal wildlife trade in the U.S., and Cincinnati officers and specialists have rescued live tortoises, centipedes, and tarantulas.
They have also found primate skulls, crocodilian heads, and many smuggled animals, usually reptiles, which did not survive the long trip.
CBP canines play a significant role in foiling smuggling attempts.
Narcotics detector dog Freddy has found a multitude of hidden narcotics, such as cocaine inside a steel propeller shaft and more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana packed inside cable drums.
Nuggett, an agriculture detector dog, stays busy sniffing out prohibited plant and animal products. Some of his seizures include a suitcase full of fresh fruit and the remainders of pangolins.
Pangolins are scale-covered mammals, some species of which are critically endangered because of the unsustainable and illegal trade in their scales.

"Cincinnati CBP screens incoming passengers and freight from all over the world," said Port Director Cloud.
"Our officers and specialists are highly trained and work around the clock to protect the people, agriculture, and wildlife of the United States."
CBP conducts operations at ports of entry throughout the United States, and regularly screens arriving international passengers and cargo for narcotics, weapons, and other restricted or prohibited products.
CBP strives to serve as the premier law enforcement agency enhancing the Nation's safety, security, and prosperity through collaboration, innovation, and integration.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry.
CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

wood participated in Buildex 2012, International Architecture and Interior Design Exhibition, which took place at the Crocus Expo Centre in Moscow, Russia.
During this year's show, manufacturers and retailers presented products and innovations to the construction market. Among the new products showcased by Coswick Hardwood were the eco-friendly Arts and Crafts collection of wide plank flooring, the new Signature Oak collection, as well as 3 new designer colors from Classic Ash flooring collection.
Coswick new products were received very warmly by industry professionals and consumers alike. Arts and Crafts collection of wide plank flooring sparked the most interest. This collection is distinguished by use of eco-friendly oil and wax finishes, brushed rustic surface, unique designer colors, as well as plank width of 7 ½".
The second feature, Signature Oak collection of engineered flooring, is one of the most creative Coswick collections to date. All seven Signature Oak colors draw their inspiration from the Four elements in their various forms. Colors range from gentle Albatross white to deep North Sea grey, to extravagant Charcoal black. All floors in this collection have a low-sheen matte lacquer finish.
Three new colors of Coswick Classic Ash flooring collection were presented for the first time and sparked interest among interior designers. Ash Como, Tiger Eye and Pearl Grey combine natural wood texture with rich and nuanced hues.
Friendly and positive atmosphere, as well as enthusiastic attitudes on part of both industry professionals and consumers show that there is a clear demand for new designer flooring solutions, as well as high quality and eco-friendly products on in the world of floor coverings.


He's the former Pop Idol star who reinvented himself as a entrepreneur with his fledgling business, Cuppanut, featured in this month's box. When Pink Parcel caught up with Gareth Gates to find out more about his coconut infusion drink, it's clear that whether it's chart toppers or supermarket sell outs, he's still aiming high.
Cuppanut is free in this month's box – better get the kettle on!
Not that the 32-year-old has turned his back on performing entirely, "I'm constantly on tour. I'm currently performing in Footloose. So my office is on the road. I'm in different cities every week, in different apartments or hotels. I've got it sorted now. I work on the business during the day and perform at night.
"I love it seeing bars and restaurants using Cuppanut in different ways. I was at one of my favorite hotels recently, Rudding Park in Harrogate, and they've created a cocktail using our Cuppanut cranberry flavour. It had vodka, agave nectar, raspberry liqueur and egg white and it was incredible!


The coalition STOP THE BOMB calls on the Austrian Federal Government to follow the British, Dutch, French and German example and immediately recall the Austrian Ambassador Thomas Buchsbaum from Teheran in response to the storming of the British Embassy. STOP THE BOMB spokesperson Simone Dinah Hartmann calls yesterday's announcement by Austria, not to withdraw its ambassador, a scandal: "This is weakening efforts to make it finally clear to the regime in Tehran that for the West and the EU there are red lines, which already have been crossed by far. The time is more than ripe to downgrade diplomatic relations to a minimum, as announced by the British government yesterday. That would actually be an expression of European solidarity, of which Austrian Foreign Minister Spindelegger keeps talking about."
STOP THE BOMB also calls on Austria to support sanctions against Iran's central bank, as advocated for example by France and Great Britain, the sanctioning of Iranian oil and gas exports and more sharp restrictions on the supply of industrial goods to Iran at today's meeting of EU foreign ministers. Such sanctions may offer the only possibility to stop the Iranian nuclear and missile programs.
Madeleine Petrovic, former chairwoman of the Green Party in Austria and supporter of STOP THE BOMB, calls for stronger measures in light of the continued repression of the Iranian freedom movement: "I would hope that Austria plays a leading role when it comes to enforcing human rights."


Renovating is exciting & challenging, especially when it comes to costs but while you can do work yourself to save, not using a Licensed Electrician to do electrical work is not one of these jobs, as it requires you to meet certain legal and safety standards that require certification.
So what electrical work can you do and when should you call an Licenced Electrician?
You can carry out any electrical work that does not require you to touch the wiring in your home. If you have to plug in equipment, or the equipment is battery operated, you can carry out this type of work. You can also make holes in walls and in benches to fit appliances such as ovens, and air conditioners, but you cannot hardwire these to a power source.
If you carry out wiring work to a source of energy yourself, you may be fined. Penalties in Australia for individuals are around $55,000, and $110,000 for a company.
It is illegal and dangerous for you to carry out any electrical work that needs to meet Australian standards or wiring rules that are legislated by the government to prevent any serious accidents or possible death. Therefore, installations in your home that require wiring electrical equipment to a power supply will need to be fitted by a certified and licensed electrician.
A licensed electrician carries public liability insurance, and they are qualified. So before you hire an electrician, ask to see their credentials, confirming they have a valid licence, as this will cover you against any damage if anything goes wrong.
Rewiring – if your home is heritage listed or older than 20 years, it may be time to think about rewiring. Rewiring is necessary if the wires in your home become worn and don't operate as well as they should. An electrician has the tools to locate wiring problems quickly and fix these.
Installation of hardwired electrical appliances – if you want to install a pool, spa, oven or air-conditioner, an electrician can do these jobs fast and efficiently, with minimal disruption to your household.
Connecting sheds to power – an electrician understands how much power can be drawn from a source at once, without causing significant problems to other areas in your home, such as power outages or fires.
Call Austec Electrical and we can assist with your home renovation electrical work. Ask us for a quote and save.


From razors and makeup to healthy snacks and craft projects, it's possible to order nearly everything today through a subscription-box startup. Now, Cratejoy wants to make it easier for entrepreneurs to create their own subscription businesses with its online platform.
Through Cratejoy's site, Elaguizy said entrepreneurs can set up a customized online store displaying products or services for sale. Cratejoy will handle recurring payments, email customers about shipping and manage the other aspects necessary for online subscription businesses. Cratejoy's fees operate on a sliding scale; at the high end, Elaguizy said the company takes 1.25% of sales conducted through the site.
Elaguizy and co-founder Alex Morse participated in Y Combinator last summer, where they began to develop the Cratejoy concept. They sold their previous business, an Internet poker company, to Zynga in 2011 and worked there as division CTOs for two years before leaving to start Cratejoy.
Cratejoy's private beta launched in January and is already supporting 120 subscription businesses, such as Sumo Jerky, RootBizzle and A Little Bundle.
"We're trying to cope with the amount of demand … Finding more demand is not front of mind," Elaguizy said, adding that the company's current marketing strategy is based on word-of-mouth.
Unlike many other startups, Elaguizy said he's not looking for explosive growth. Instead, he and the Cratejoy team are focused on perfecting the relationship with their customers to help these new subscription businesses grow.
"If you think about it, this is their entire business, so there's no room for error. We can't screw anything up ever," Elaguizy said.

Q: I want to show images in paragraph but when i click to show images then text is moving up and down I have a paragraph I want to show images in the paragraph over some words like a horse, cloud, etc. The problem is this when I show images over words in a paragraph then words and lines move up and down but I want when I click on the button for showing images then paragraph lines and text should be fixed not move up and down.

   Charlie was so used to all his toys and various stuff, that he began to want something different.
   One of his uncles found a fine  horse  and he gave it to Charlie, as something unusual.
   Charlie was very excited at having a horse . He learned to ride, and was constantly on his horse, around the  farm .

   However, he treated the horse just as badly as he did all his other toys,
   and it soon started looking neglected and sick. For the first time in his life Charlie became truly worried.
   He loved the horse, and the fact that his family had offered to swap it for a new one meant nothing to him.

Screenshot of the paragraph.

A: How about a pure CSS solution?
Add the images as before pseudo elements and center them on top of the words. Make them invisible by default, but transition them into view when the story_div is active.
Here is a jsfiddle incase the snippet below doesn't work.

.pic {
  position: relative;
}

.pic:before {
  content: '';

  /* center */
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  /* scale */
  background-size: 50px;
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;

  /* hide */
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: visibility 1.5s ease, opacity 1.5s ease;
}

#story_div:active .pic:before {
  visibility: visible;
  opacity: 1;
}

.pic.horse:before {
  background-image: url('https://via.placeholder.com/50');
}

.pic.farm:before {
  background-image: url('https://via.placeholder.com/50');
}

      Charlie was so used to all his toys and various stuff, that he began to want something different.
      One of his uncles found a fine horse and he gave it to Charlie, as something unusual.
      Charlie was very excited at having a horse. He learned to ride, and was constantly on his horse, around the farm.

      However, he treated the horse just as badly as he did all his other toys,
      and it soon started looking neglected and sick. For the first time in his life Charlie became truly worried.
      He loved the horse, and the fact that his family had offered to swap it for a new one meant nothing to him.

A: If I understand your problem correctly, you can put your images in before pseudoelement added to each horse and farm classes. SCSS code below, you will have to play a little bit with positioning of images, but that should do the trick for you.
.horse {
  position: relative;

  &.displayImage {
   &:before {
     content:url('stories/hourse.jpeg');
     width: 55px;
     height: 53px;
     position: absolute;
     top: -10px // or any other value that would move image above text line
   }
  }
 }

and small change to JS code below. I replaced showImage and hideImage function with one which would do the trick- there was no point in having two separate functions, one responsible for adding classes, another for removing them.
function toggleImage() {
   $('.horse, .horse2, .farm').toggleClass('displayImage');
}

Of course, you will have to change HTML as well:

I hope that helps and I understood your problem correctly :)

Is A Siphonophore an Imaginary?
Query: I saw a news report about a purple deep-sea creature called a siphonophore that is made up of thousands of smaller creatures called zooids. It has a scientific name, but it looked so odd, I had to wonder if it was real or an Imaginary. How can you tell the difference?
Answer: Some creatures once thought to be Imaginaries are now classified as "real" because they have been assigned a taxonomic designation in the scientific classification of living things. The siphonophore is one of these.
Conversely, some creatures once thought to be "real" are now considered Imaginaries because people no longer believe in them, or because they are extinct, or because there are no reliable records proving their existence.
It's not the distinction between real and Imaginary that matters the most. It's whether we do our best to care for them, and treat them with the respect they deserve, that truly makes the difference.
Here at Iranigami, we encourage you to preserve, protect and defend all creatures, real or Imaginary, in any way that you can.
