A&O's transatlantic woes continue as New York leveraged finance pair quit for Shearman

Strategic recruitment Allen & OveryShearman & Sterling
Allen & Overy (A&O) has suffered a fresh blow to its transatlantic aspirations following its failed US merger as two key leveraged finance partners depart for Shearman & Sterling.
Alan Rockwell and Michael Chernick are leaving A&O's New York office for the US firm just a month after A&O lost well-respected London corporate partners Simon Toms and George Knighton to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. That blow came only 10 days after the Magic Circle firm's long-winded merger talks with O'Melveny & Meyers came to nothing and was widely viewed as collateral damage from the failed tie-up.
A&O broke its lockstep to hire the two partners, with Rockwell joining as part of a four-partner team from White & Case in 2016 and Chernick as part of a three-partner team from Paul Hastings the following year.
Shearman senior partner David Beveridge said: 'The opportunity to add Alan and Michael to our team is significant for the firm as we look to further cement our position as one of the leading transatlantic leveraged finance firms.'
The New York exits come only a month after A&O's managing partner Andrew Ballheimer vowed 'more focus and speed of execution' in the Magic Circle firm's US recruitment push as new partners, including US lawyers, had recently been voted in by the partnership.
A spokesperson for A&O said: 'We thank Alan Rockwell and Michael Chernick for their contributions during their time at A&O and wish them all the best for the future. Our New York leveraged finance practice continues to be a robust and integral part of A&O's global offering.'
For Shearman, the hires follow high-yield star Ward McKimm famously in July 2018 returning to the firm after a three-year stint at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. The firm had taken the symbolic step to break its much-cherished lockstep to lure him from US rival Kirkland & Ellis in 2015, a move which exercised changes to the partnership ushered in the previous year to attract top US talent.

Revolving doors: Former Quinn white collar head sets up City boutique as Shearman and HFW make Paris corporate plays
Posted on 14 October 2019 10:11am 14 October 2019 10:17am | Muna Abdi
Strategic recruitment HFWQuinn Emanuel Urquhart & SullivanShearman & Sterling
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan's former white-collar crime and corporate investigations head in London Robert Amaee has launched a boutique – Amaee Law – in what has been a muted week for City laterals.
Elsewhere, firms have bolstered their European offices with Shearman & Sterling and HFW hiring corporate partners in Paris and Watson Farley & Williams adding to its employment bench in Munich.
Amaee's firm specialises in financial crime, government enforcement, international investigations and compliance. It advises on UK financial crime law for companies, senior executives and high net worth individuals on fraud, bribery and money laundering as well as on internal investigations.
Amaee also previously served as head of anti-corruption, proceeds of crime and international assistance at the Serious Fraud Office.
Meanwhile, Shearman has hired M&A partner Thomas Philippe to its corporate team in Paris. Philippe, who joins from US rival Mayer Brown, specialises in private equity, advising financial sponsors on their investments and leveraged buyouts.
Philippe told Legal Business: 'The firm has already created strong capabilities in private equity in other offices like London, Italy, German, the US and the Middle East. The idea was to complement this with a private equity specialist in Paris to be able to develop the network. I'll be able to bring my expertise and client portfolio to boost and enhance the Paris activity and the relationship with the other private equity professionals across the network.
Philippe pointed to a growing private equity market in Paris and the emergence of new players as key trends. 'There are a lot of deals on the Paris market and the higher the value is, the more competition there is. You don't have that many attractive targets for large value deals, so that makes the competition more intense than the small-cap market,' he added.
Also in Paris, HFW grew its global transactional offering with the hire of former Paul Hastings corporate partner Aline Poncelet. With 25 years' experience, Poncelet advises on French corporate, M&A and capital markets, share issues, takeover bids, financial services and corporate governance. She acts for listed and private corporations, insurance companies, financial institutions, fintech and investment funds. She will work closely with HFW's Paris finance team, including partners Diane de Mouy, Jean-Marc Zampa and Richard Jadot.
HFW said that the hire of Poncelet, the second transactional partner acquisition in the last two weeks after aviation finance lawyer Asheesh Das from Elix Aviation Capital, is part of a broader push in its corporate and finance practices.
HFW Paris office head Guillaume Brajeux told Legal Business: 'Aline's extensive experience advising and representing clients in complex M&A and corporate matters is a perfect complement to our existing practices. The strengthening of our transactional offer has been a priority for our Paris office, and Aline's arrival is an important contribution to its development.'
In Munich, Watson Farley & Williams appointed employment partner Philipp Byers from Lutz Abel where he was head of the employment law practice group, advising on workplace privacy and employment law compliance issues. He brings with him two associates.
Byers said: 'With its highly-regarded German employment law team and international focus, WFW represents a superb platform from which I can both improve the service I offer my existing clients and expand my practice. I greatly look forward to working closely with all my new colleagues, especially employment partners Nikolaus Krienke and Andreas Wiegreffe.'

Shearman tight-lipped on City revenue amid reduced headcount and 4% global turnover rise
Posted on 21 February 2019 17:23pm | Marco Cillario
Financial results 2018/19 Shearman & Sterling
After rising by less than 1% in 2017, Shearman & Sterling's global revenue grew at a slightly faster pace last year to hit $955.5m as profit per equity partner increased 5% to $2.4m.
The New York-headquartered firm today (21 February) declined to disclose its London revenue for the second year running, although senior partner David Beveridge told Legal Business the City office grew at a comparable rate to the firm globally. The last time Shearman released London numbers they showed a 14% revenue uptick to $169.7m in 2016.
Last year's growth in City revenue came despite it reporting a drop of around 10% in lawyer headcount to about 160 from 178 the previous year.
'This is the normal ebb and flow of the practice,' said Beveridge. 'We shifted people back to New York in leveraged finance. We will see the number come back up this year.'
Meanwhile, the 4% rise in firm-wide turnover came amid 3% growth in headcount to 882 from 853, meaning revenue per lawyer rose by just over 1% to $1.08m. The firm's global revenue was up 27% on 2013.
Beveridge said the financial performance was 'in line with what we expected and we will see more growth this year', adding the firm was looking to achieve 'profitable growth' and pointed to a 53% increase in profitability over the last five years.
He said the firm was looking to grow in leveraged finance, mid-market private equity and M&A with a focus on energy, tech and life sciences. After concentrating its investment on the States in 2018 with the launch of two Texas offices in Austin and Houston, the firm will now look to 'grow disproportionately' in both the US and the City.
London remained the firm's second largest office after New York, which is home to around 350 lawyers, while the States account for 60% of the firm's workforce.
There were notable moves on the lateral front in London last year. Its high yield team lost guru Apostolos Gkoutzinis to Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy in January but managed to hire back Ward McKimm from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in July. The firm also added Tim Scheddick from Baker McKenzie to its corporate practice.
Key mandates for the office included advising Boston Scientific on its $4.2bn acquisition of BTG.
Beveridge anticipated 'consistent growth' of between 5 and 10% year-on-year over the next several years.
A number of US firms have posted strong financials for their City practice so far. Reed Smith hiked London revenue by 18% to $222m and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld by 28% to $123.5m. White & Case's London revenue rose 7% to $350m and Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy recorded a 25% increase in City turnover to $156m. Elsewhere, revenue for Goodwin Procter's London office grew 58%, while King & Spalding was up 12% and Cooley added 16% to reach $66.7m.

Shearman wins McKimm from Freshfields as Penn returns to A&O from Cleary
Posted on 27 July 2018 09:30am 24 July 2018 15:33pm | Nathalie Tidman
Two standout moves in June and July saw the Magic Circle and the Wall Street elite each lose and gain one in partner reversions in London.
Ward McKimm, one of thestra most upwardly mobile partners the City has seen, made good on a long-rumoured defection to Shearman & Sterling's capital markets practice, having previously worked there for some 14 years, becoming partner in 2005 and co-head of its corporate group in 2010.
Shearman and Mayer Brown retain fewer trainees than previous years' newly-qualified solicitor intake
Posted on 10 July 2017 11:38am 14 February 2018 17:05pm | Georgiana Tudor
Trainee retention Mayer BrownShearman & Sterling
Shearman & Sterling and Mayer Brown have recorded lower retention rates for their trainees due to qualify this autumn, from full retention last year to 87% and 73% respectively.
Shearman will retain 87% of its London trainees due to qualify in September 2017, as 13 out of 15 trainees were offered and accepted newly qualified (NQ) positions at the firm. This represents a drop from both its 2016 and 2015 retention rates, when all 13 of its September qualifiers accepted full-time positions at the firm's London office. This year's figure remains above its 2014 rates, however, when the firm retained 75% of its final-year trainees to NQ positions.
The US firm's September NQ lawyers join the mergers and acquisitions, finance, financial Institutions advisory and financial regulatory, project development and finance, and antitrust global practices. Three members of Shearman's NQ intake this year will take up international secondments in Brussels, Abu Dhabi and Singapore.
Meanwhile, Mayer Brown confirmed that it will retain eight of its 11 second year trainees who joined in September 2015, a 73% retention rate. This represents a fall in comparison to its 100% retention this March, when all of the firm's four second year trainees qualified. Two of its March trainees qualified into the firm's banking and finance team, and one each into the dispute resolution and insurance practices respectively.
The rate increased from 2016, when Mayer Brown announced a 67% September retention rate, recruiting six of the nine group into NQ roles. The firm recorded a 100% retention rate for its March qualifiers in 2016, however, with all four kept on in the corporate and securities, construction and engineering and antitrust and competition practice groups.
The Chicago-headquartered firm confirmed that of the 11 autumn NQ solicitors this year, ten second-year trainees applied, nine were offered jobs and eight accepted.
Of those eight, two will qualify into the litigation team, one into banking and finance, and one each into the corporate & securities, real estate, pensions, employment & benefits and intellectual property practices.
Mayer Brown training principal William Glassey said the firm is 'delighted' that eight trainees will be staying on in permanent positions. 'They represent our investment in the future of the firm and we look forward to watching their continuing development as they build their careers,' he said.
Other firms to have announced their retention rates for this autumn include Burges Salmon and Blake Morgan. Burges Salmon announced in April this year that it will retain 100% of its 28 trainees, while Blake Morgan will keep eight of nine trainees who will qualify this September.

Hogan Lovells hikes NQ pay by 5% in latest round of City increases

Salaries Hogan LovellsShearman & SterlingWhite & Case
Hogan Lovells' UK newly-qualified (NQ) lawyers pay has risen 5%, as the firm increases junior associates' salaries.
NQ pay jumped £3,500 to £71,500, while first year trainees' salaries rose by £1,000 to £44,000. Second year trainees have also received a £1,000 increase to £49,000.
The changes came into effect on 1 May.
Lawyers with one year's post-qualification experience (PQE) at Hogan Lovells have their pay determined by a merit based pay model with broad salary bands.
A firm spokesperson told Legal Business the mechanism 'ensure[s] that we are able to take into account an individual's performance when determining salary within the relevant salary band.'
'In addition, our lawyers have the ability to earn significant bonuses based on chargeable hours and/or a discretionary bonus.'
Earlier this month, White & Case announced its London associates would receive a significant pay increase, with the US firm awarding its NQs a £15,000 pay hike to £105,000 for 2017.
White & Case lawyers with one year-PQE received a 16% raise from £95,000 to £110,000, while two year-PQE salaries increased by the largest percentage, up 19% to £120,000.
Shearman & Sterling were the first to announce UK pay increases this year. Shearman's NQ pay rose by 10.5% from £95,000 to £105,000, with mid-level associates receiving a 9.5% bump in their pay from £126,000 to £138,000. The start of its senior associate salary band has risen by 5.6% to £165,000, from last year's £156,000.

Shearman hikes UK associate pay following 14% increase in City revenue

Associates Shearman & Sterling Salaries
Shearman & Sterling's UK associates will see another increase to their salaries with newly qualified (NQ) lawyers taking home £10,000 more starting this month.
NQ pay has risen by 10.5% from £95,000 to £105,000 with mid-level associates receiving a 9.5% bump in their pay from £126,000 to £138,000. The start of the senior associate salary band has risen by 5.6%, up to £165,000 on last year's £156,000.
The rise follows last year's push by £7,000 to £95,000. NQ lawyers' salaries were up from £88,000 in 2015, an 8% increase. This was £4,000 more than their peers at Linklaters, £10,000 more than their equivalents at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and a whopping £23,500 more than at Slaughter and May. Mid-year associates saw their salaries up 10% to £126,000 – £11,000 more than 2015. Senior associates' pay rose by £12,000 to £156,000. That equates to a 7% increase.
London managing partner Nick Buckworth (pictured) said: 'We are committed to attracting and retaining the best of the brightest associates. Our salary rate increase is an acknowledgment of the hard work and commitment of our talented associates and recognises their ongoing contributions to the firm's success.'
Shearman boosted its revenue by 6% for 2016, sitting at $912m. Profit per equity partner (PEP) jumped substantially by 18% up from $1.84m to $2.17m while lawyer headcount remained stable with an increase of six to 840. London's lawyer headcount increased by five to 187 as City revenue was up by 14% to $169.7m.
The results will have eased concerns over last year's mixed financials where Shearman posted a 2% rise in revenues which reached $860m, but PEP partner dropped 4% from $1.9m to $1.84m.
In the second half of last year Shearman agreed to cut its equity partnership and saw a series of departures, including private equity head Mark Soundy, who left in October along with UK tax head Sarah Priestley. Shearman's European grouping, led by project finance partner Nick Buckworth, did not hire any new partners in Europe in 2016.
However last month Shearman reappointed antitrust lawyer Christopher Bright as a partner in London. Bright had been pointed by the government as a member of the UK Competition Commission in a part-time quasi-judicial decision-making role in 2006. Bright had stayed on at Shearman as a consultant following his appointment after he established the firm's City antitrust practice.

Revolving doors: DLA Piper, Ince & Co bulk up in Germany while Shearman and Fox Williams bring in City partners
Strategic recruitment DLA PiperInce & CoShearman & Sterling GermanyRevolving doors
DLA Piper and Ince & Co have made team hires in Germany this week, while Shearman & Sterling and Fox Williams have boosted their City offerings.
DLA Piper has brought on three corporate partners to its Frankfurt office from US firm K&L Gates. Mathias Schulze Steinen, Andreas Fuechsel and Claudius Paul will take up their posts next week bringing client relationships with The Carlyle Group, Oakley Capital Private Equity, Mood Media and Verivox.
Schulze Steinen advises local and international companies in corporate law, above all in restructuring measures, the law relating to stock corporations and corporate finance, and Fuechsel focusses on the fields of private equity/M&A, company law relating to capital markets, complex restructuring measures and the structuring of joint ventures. Paul specialises in private equity and M&A as well as in German corporate law, particularly in the technology, life sciences and financial services sectors.
Meanwhile, Ince & Co has acquired Hamburg law firm Schwenke & Partner which will join its German office on 1 May. Senior partner of the Hamburg firm Thomas Schwenke brings with him one associate, two paralegals and three business services staff. He specialises in corporate and finance in the shipping, offshore and renewable energy sectors. Schwenke trained and worked for specialist corporate and finance law firms in London and Hamburg as trainee, associate and partner before establishing Schwenke & Partner in 2000.
Shearman & Sterling has reappointed antitrust lawyer Christopher Bright in London, who was appointed by the government as a member of the UK Competition Commission in a part-time quasi-judicial decision-making role in 2006. Bright has stayed on at Shearman as a consultant following his appointment after he established the firm's City antitrust practice. His appointment marks the first semblance of a lateral hire since the arrival of M&A partner Frank Miller from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Jeremy Sharpe in international arbitration from the US Department of State, both announced in September 2015.
Finally, Fox Williams has taken on Cooley regulatory partner Chris Finney who will join the firm's London office next week. Finney is focused on UK and European regulatory issues. His clients include national and international (re)insurers, payment services providers, private equity venture capital fund managers, brokers and fintech companies of all kinds. Finney joined Cooley in 2015 – the year the US firm opened its doors in London – from Edwards Wildman Palmer (EWP). The vast majority of the firm's London office made the move to Cooley's City office ahead of EWP's merger with Locke Lorde.
'He knows us well': Anglo American appoints Shearman's Price as new GC

In-house Shearman & Sterling Strategic recruitment
Anglo American has appointed a former external adviser, Shearman & Sterling's co-head of mining and metals Richard Price, as its new group general counsel (GC) following the retirement of Ben Keisler.
Price will take up his new London-based role on 1 May and will sit on the mining giant's management committee.
Capital markets partner Price joined Shearman's London office in 2003. Before his transfer to the City, Price was based in Singapore where he headed up Shearman's south-east Asian and Indian capital markets practice. He has also led the US firm's EMEA capital markets group and EMEA corporate practice, and spent time at Shearman's Toronto office.
He focuses on international equity and debt corporate finance transactions, SEC reporting, corporate governance and other corporate advisory and compliance matters. His clients have included Anglo American was a key client of his while at Shearman, as well as AngloGold Ashanti, ArcelorMittal, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group and Sasol.
Chief executive of Anglo American Mark Cutifani said: 'We look forward to welcoming Richard Price as group general counsel, a key role that provides both strategic and commercial insight throughout our decision-making processes, while also forming part of the risk management of Anglo American as a whole. He knows us and our industry well, given the legal advisory work he has led on a number of complex issues and transactions, including in South Africa.'
Price will head up Anglo American's global legal team following Keisler's decision to retire earlier this year after 32 years.
Earlier this month it was revealed British investment firm Chrysaor Holdings had appointed BG's chief counsel for corporate and former Legal Business GC Powerlist rising star Howard Landes as GC.
US financials: Shearman partner cuts see PEP jump 18% as Sidley posts steady 3% revenue rise
Posted on 23 February 2017 10:57am 14 February 2018 12:50pm | Madeleine Farman and Matthew Field
Financial results 2016/17 Shearman & SterlingSidley Austin
Shearman & Sterling has boosted its revenue by 6% for 2016, sitting at $912m while Sidley Austin has seen more subdued results, with turnover up 3%.
Profit per equity partner (PEP) jumped substantially by 18% up from $1.84m to $2.17m. Lawyer headcount remained stable with an increase of six to 840. London's lawyer headcount increased by five to 187 as City revenue was up by 14% increase to $169.7m.
The results will ease concerns over last year's mixed financials where Shearman posted a 2% rise in revenues which reached $860m, but PEP partner dropped 4% from $1.9m to $1.84m.
Buckworth (pictured) told Legal Business: 'We've had a much, much tighter view of our strategy, we've had strong leadership and as a result, just by being disciplined, you can see the results coming through. This is a firm that is very much on the up and we're starting to really motor.'
When asked whether he expects more hires to be made in 2017, Buckworth added: 'Scale is irrelevant. What we're looking for is a growth that enhances Shearman & Sterling as a choice globally. Predominantly our growth will come from within, we have great talent here, and we're always going to look at growth laterally in areas where we don't necessarily have the internal, home-grown resource or in areas where we want to move the business.'
Meanwhile, Sidley Austin has posted a small revenue boost to $1.93bn, up around 3% on 2015. Profit per equity partner also crept up 3% to $2.13m while the firm saw a small increase in headcount to 1,836 from 1,779 and the total number of equity partners grew by four to 346.
The firm has made additional drives for European bench strength since the turn of the year, including an eight partner hire in Munich to significantly reinforce its European private equity offering.

I have a few of the 11 identified degenerative spine disorders which you can read a synapsis of here if you're curious about the different kinds.
Through an MRI in the fall of 2017 on my lower back (and I should have one done on my neck as well), mine includes some spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, definite bulging discs and the beginning of arthritis. Later, I had a horrific pinched spinal nerve (read more about that below) which I will hopefully never have to endure again.
The "bad back" and neck runs in my family on my father's side. A cousin in her late twenties or early thirties had surgery on her lower back when suddenly she couldn't walk. My uncles have it as far as I know. My grandfather has had it for decades and I believe had previous surgery but now where's a c-collar full time in his 80s as his heart is not healthy enough to live through another surgery. My father is currently around the age of 66 and has had it in his lower back for decades, as well as had surgery on his neck. They went in through the front of his neck and replaced discs with cadaver bone. I do not know exactly how many are affected in my family, but I'd say a significant number are.
I've had lower back pain since maybe 12 years old (and while it got progressively worse, it was not debilitating until around 2014 at the age of 38).
I've also had significant neck pain since my late teens. In my early twenties, a chiropractor took x-rays and told me that my natural S curve is 90% straight and will fuse that way and cause problems if I do not have any intervention to fix it.
That particular degenerative spine disease is called spondylolisthesis but has not been recognized by my current back doctor's office since they did not bother to order the MRI for my neck when I went in for my lower back, despite my asking them to.
My pain and symptoms increased significantly from late 2015 when I was basically on bed rest with my feet up for lipedema and lymphedema and subsequent infections (like body sepsis) due to those ravaging my body before diagnosis.
This just completely messed up what mobility I had left. I slept upright in a chair for over a year and sat in that chair almost 24/7. Those things I mentioned above that were already a problem seemed to increase tenfold. Spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, bulging discs and the beginning of arthritis.
At some point after that first year from fall 2015 to fall 2016, I was at least able to start sleeping in my bed again for 2-4 hours at a time before pain would chase me back to the chair. What a nightmare that was.
Unfortunately, my chronic back pain from the degenerative spine diseases that I have also comes with excruciating muscle spasms when I stand or walk for just a few moments.
I was no longer able to get around, walk through stores, etc. I am very limited in mobility and could only walk a few feet before the spasms would start. I have to do cleaning and food preparation while sitting on a stool. I can't do much of anything that I used to do or love.
With all of the diseases/conditions, pain, and loss of independence that I have, it felt like my life was ending at 41 years old.
This is what finally took me to see a back specialist.
Understandably, they do not want to do huge surgical interventions if things can be fixed or pain can be tolerated by other means. I'm also not the best surgical candidate because of my other diseases/conditions and my weight.
I'd heard great things about this surgeon and his office, yet when I got in, I was seen by a young doctor who, to be quite honest, was just not interested in my case and helping me in the least. Seems I was not an interesting surgical case? Or he judges me because of my lipedema?
However, I've followed their script so far and I need more. Something more needs to be done. I will have to update this post in the future after appointments and discussions and hopefully interventions.
Having said that, I knew I would need to jump through hoops and try what they suggested first.
First, we discussed medications. Tylenol or prescription Tramadol for pain are useless for me. I used to take great quantities of Ibuprofen with little more than hope as an effect, but am no longer able to due to being on blood thinners. Muscle relaxers did absolutely nothing to stop the spasms or pain either.
Physical therapy was up next. I began the first round of physical therapy and then a second round as well as water therapy. Months of appointments.
I use a Tens unit as needed and I sit with a heating pad on my back several times per day.
When I first began, I was told I needed to work on my core strength and it made sense that straightening and strengthening would help with the bulging discs. No idea what would help with the muscle spasms, it was all a gamble. The therapists were amazing, validating, etc.
I'd been told by the newly medical school minted back doctor that I shouldn't have so much pain for what I had wrong with my back, and yet there I was, completely disabled and not feeling believed or validated.
My physical therapist team leader knew I was in pain and knew that everyone is different. In fact, she told me through our time together that she knew I had a high tolerance for pain (something I'd been told and seen in life under other circumstances). My physical therapists are so knowledgeable and are advocates as best they can be in their limited scope.
After that cleared up in approximately 4-6 weeks, we could get back to the pain and muscle spasms that originally took me there. Through two rounds of PT (24 appointments) and water therapy over several months, I was able to make a little progress.
By the way, I wholeheartedly advise anyone with chronic pain to exercise in a light water class or water therapy. Your body moves in ways it cannot on land and you get farther, faster, if not at least without as much pain during PT.
I was able to begin to walk more steps before the spasms kick in and I was able to sleep longer in my bed and turn to my other side in bed without jarring my back. I cannot sleep on my back or stomach or I get painfully stuck, but at least now I can turn to another side once or twice per night.
My posture is better with less pain and I can sit up in the car or in a chair for longer periods without a pillow behind me to hold me up.
I can stay in bed 5-7 hours total before I must get up. I am in less pain and with less stiffness upon getting up in the morning. I still walk with an odd gait and my mobility comes and goes from hour to hour, depending on the whims of my back.
If I get to the counter at the pharmacy or bank without the spasms starting, I can bend over and go down on my elbows on the counter to hold them off. There is pain when I stand, but at least no spasms until I'm headed towards the door. I won't get into how humiliating it is to have to do this bend-over-the-counter thing in public though.
Unfortunately, this month has brought a new symptom. When I am standing to do laundry or something, just a tiny shift in my stance or when I begin walking, my lower spine pop pop pop pops as if something is rubbing against something it shouldn't be and popping off of it. No extra pain, just a popping sensation. I assume it's a bulging disc issue since they act as shock absorbers for the spine; my vertebra is probably rubbing against each other.
This is simultaneous with the muscle spasms, so I can't stay up longer than a minute or three.
Before moving on in this post, one of the things the physical therapists did for me was pep talk me into getting a cane to assist me in walking and using an electric scooter through the store. These types of things I had been putting off to my detriment.
Read: Does Pride Stop You From Using Assistive Devices or Mobility Aids?
So that's where I am at currently after physical therapy. Overall there were surprising changes I never thought I'd see, and yet they are so small in the grand scheme. For instance, I'm glad to be in bed for 5-7 hours a night, but I wish I wasn't chased out of bed in pain.
I'm glad I can walk for one minute longer than I could before months of physical therapy. I've learned that one minute makes a difference. But come on, that just means I can get from my house into my car before my back wrenches into spasm! I still cannot walk 30 feet, shop standing up, do laundry like a normal person, or anything else like every other able-bodied person.
I am still in pain every single day of my life and now have that new popping sensation.
So, I have a new appointment with the back doctor's office in a couple of weeks and hope to update this post if anything changes.
I do not recommend you saying no to physical therapy out of fear this will happen to you. It was a fluke, maybe. Bodies are weird. I needed to go to physical therapy, I just hit a painful hiccup for a bit.
I had been working on my core and posture and when the change shifted things, by week two or three of PT, I had a pinched spinal nerve. The pain was excruciating and never-ending, day and night. I was awake in pain for hours, just trying desperately to find a comfortable enough position to go to sleep for even just a little while.
The Tens unit didn't help, Ibuprofen, changes in position, hot packs, cold packs, Lidocaine medicated patches – nothing worked. I was unable to lay down in bed, let alone sleep there. I was unable to get any work done. Life was all about catching a tiny sliver of relief and sleep for weeks. It drove me insane.
I called the back doctor's office in crisis and they had me come in for an epidural. It is not the most comfortable of treatments to have needles in your spine, but I thought I would at least be cured of this nerve pain. I wasn't. It did not work.
I called again the next few days and reception always answered, but never booked me and said that someone would call me back. They never did. I was devastated. I was not a problem patient. I was nice. I made them laugh. I was a new patient. I was young-ish at 41 and a single mom with no help at home and needed someone to do something. I was just in the worst pain of my life and begging for that help.
My legs sometimes stopped working correctly and I became a fall risk. One morning while stepping out of the shower, I was lifting my leg and my leg just stopped, causing me to trip over the side of the tub. It did that when I was walking too.
The next morning, I almost couldn't make it to the toilet and when I did, I almost couldn't stand again.
I was alone, crying on my toilet, unable to move. I thought I am 41, my life is over. I cannot live like this.
I had to drive myself to the ER that morning of the toilet incident — which is not a smart move when your legs are not working right.
My experience in the ER was awful. I was labeled a problem patient I guess because I was crying and telling them they could help me if they wanted to and their reaction to me went south. They wanted to give me a shot for pain and send me home and that wasn't going to work for me. I'd gone through weeks upon weeks of this pain.
Luckily I'd had a friend who went through something similar after a back injury (and is a nurse in another state) tell me what kind of steroid to ask for. I asked the ER doctor for that and he agreed. They give you a shot of steroid and then send you home on I think 5 days of steroids, gradually weaning you off.
This worked. Whatever was inflamed in there was able to settle down enough from the steroid to make a difference.
Interestingly, as much of a mess as I was at the ER that day, never once did they ask me if I was in a mental health crisis and needed intervention, someone to talk to, or had I had any suicidal thoughts. Because yes I did and yes I had. I was at the end of my rope.
In fact, they took such great offense to my crying to the doctor and telling him he wasn't even trying to help me, that even though they knew I was a fall risk when it was time to go, they didn't roll me out. They didn't walk me out. They gave me my papers and said goodbye. I walked out alone, in pain, in spasms, with legs not working well and I almost fell in the parking lot. I could barely lift a leg to get into my car, and once I was in, I just sat there and sobbed.
That was approximately eight months ago and nothing has gotten significantly better other than the pinched nerve finally subsided. I live in fear of its return every day. Every time I roll over in bed or bend or feel pain, I live in fear of that pinched nerve.
And I live in fear of going to the doctor's office or the ER because they judge me instantly based on my weight and all seem uninterested in helping me. I am filled with anxiety before appointments. I'll try to keep you updated though as I try to push for intervention even though I'm exhausted from it because I can't continue like this for the next 30 or 40 years.

Summary: Grief and bereavement will be faced by all of your patients at one point in time, because loss is inevitable. Most patients will go through a normal grieving process, whereas a minority will have problems with grieving, aka. complicated grief. The good news is that there are specific interventions that can help patients with complicated grief.
Prevalence: 100% of the population will face grief, because loss is inevitable. The majority of those facing grief will have 'normal grief'.
Reference: Kersting A et al.: Prevalence of complicated grief in a representative population-based sample, J. Affect Disord. 2011 June; 131 (1-3): 339-43. Epub 2011 Jan 8. Available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21216470 . Accessed Oct 4, 2012.
Mood symptoms include problems with sadness, crying spells, anxiety, but can also include irritability.
Answering NO to both questions indicates a high risk of having complicated grief.
There are no specific physical exam findings for grief and bereavement.

So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees. So also he made for the entrance of the nave four-sided doorposts of olive wood and two doors of cypress wood; the two leaves of the one door turned on pivots, and the two leaves of the other door turned on pivots. He carved on it cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the engraved work. Christian Canvas Art

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill, that they make Aaron's garments to consecrate him for my priesthood.

The Orthodox Church of Constantinople, which enjoyed greater stability within the surviving Eastern Empire was key in commissioning imagery there and glorifying Christianity.

What does the Bible say about creativity? The very first verse of Scripture actually describes a creative act as "God created the heavens and the earth." Additionally, from Genesis, the Bible says, "God created man in his own image." This could be interpreted as we are creators just as God created us. We create relationships, art, homes, cities, nations and many more things including inventions even yet to be known! The creative spirit is certainly favored by God and our fellow man.

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord. The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. And he made for the house windows with recessed frames. He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary.

When developing multiple Web api under multiple Visual Studio solutions, it can become very tedious to maintain, run and debug. Opening multiple instances of Visual Studio is very costly in term of memory and running all at once also clutter the screen which rapidly becomes irritating. With the advent of dotnet CLI tools, it has been clear that the next step would be to move out of the common "right click/build, F5" of Visual Studio and toward "dotnet run" on a command prompt.
Last month I was looking for a Windows alternative of the bash terminal which can be found on Mac and I found ConEmu.
We can start first by getting ConEmu from the repository releases https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu/releases.
From now we can start straight using ConEmu as a command prompt. Multi tabs are supported by default, win + w hotkey opens a new tab.
Next what we can do is navigate to our Web API project and run dotnet run.
This will run the Web API service in the command prompt, here in ConEmu.
It is also possible to restore packages with dotnet restore and build a project without running with dotnet build.
When the project is ran, it is ran in production mode. This is the default behaviour since usually the production setup is the most restrictive one.
We would need to run this on every new command prompt window. If we want to persist it, we can set it as a global Windows variable but this will affect the whole operating system. Lucky us ConEmu provides a way to run repeated commands on start of prompt which we will see now.
At each prompt start, ConEmu allows us to run a set of commands. Those can be used to set environment variables or to set aliases which will exist only in ConEmu context.
From here we can see that we can set variables, here I've set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT and also the base path of all my projects.
And I also set an alias ns which helps me to quickly serve an Angular app with Angular CLI ng serve.
ConEmuBaseDir is the base directory containing ConEmu files. As we can see, %ConEmuBaseDir%\Scripts is also set to the path. This \Scripts folder is provided by ConEmu and already set to path for us to place scripts in which are then easy access for our tasks.
Now that we know how to setup environment variables, we will no longer need to manually set the ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT variable as it will be done automatically. What we still need to do is to navigate to our service and dotnet run the project manually. Lucky us, again, ConEmu has a way to automate that by creating a script and setting it to a hotkey with ConEmu tasks which we will see next.
This would set the title of the prompt to My Api then navigate to the service folder and run the project under development environment (since it was set in 2.).
What we can do now is put those 3 lines in MyApi.cmd file which we will place under ConEmu \Scripts folder.
Since the \Scripts folder is added to PATH in each prompt, we should be able to launch it straight from anywhere.
This is already pretty neat as it cut down a lot of time for quick launching but we can go a step further by defining a task.
We start by opening the task settings settings > startup > tasks.
From there we can set a task which will start a new prompt and run the MyApi.cmd script.
We do that by clicking on +, naming the service Services::My Api and adding the command cmd.exe /k MyApi.cmd.
The naming convention allows grouping of tasks for easy access through the UI, [Group]::[Task] which is accessable from + on the main UI page.
A Hotkey can also be set with a combination of keys for even quicker access.
All we have to do left is to create a script and task per service that we have.
This task when ran will open 3 tabs and launch one script per tab which will result in a start of all services in one click.
Today we saw how to configure ConEmu to environment and task to allow us to start multiple services running ASP NET Core Web API in a single click. The ease of use and the support of multi tab make ConEmu a major contributor to reducing the amount of time wasted in development cycle. Hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you have any questions leave it here or hit me on Twitter @Kimserey_Lam. See you next time!

If you are confused with innumerable career options and don't know what to do after class XII or after completing your graduation, you may take admission in a law college. There are many benefits of becoming a lawyer. Here are the top 7 reasons to take admission in a law college and study law.
High income potential-lawyers are one of the highest paid professionals in the legal industry. Like all other professions, all lawyers do not make big bucks. But if you study law from reputable law colleges in Mumbai or elsewhere in India and you are knowledgeable you can easily get a job in big law firms and can rest assured of huge earning potential.
Respect and honour-In India and in many other countries across the world lawyers are considered to be respectable. They belong to an elite class of professionals who command respect and honour by virtue of their very position and position in the society. Since time immemorial, the career as a lawyer has been an epitome of respect and honour.
Intellectually rewarding job-lawyers are problem solvers. They are analysts, and innovative thinkers who have a high level of intellect. Be it laying down business policies and codes of conduct to patenting a trade secret or assisting business organizations with mergers and acquisitions, lawyers have the intellect as well as the mental ability to do it all.
Opportunity to do good for the society-if you choose to become a public interest lawyer you get an opportunity to do good for the society. You can help those who need legal assistance but do not have the resources to hire a private lawyer. Even if you choose to work as a private lawyer you can perform pro bono work to help individuals from lower income groups. Lawyers play a vital role in furthering the public good.
Hone a wide array of skills-those who study in law colleges in Mumbai and elsewhere acquire a diverse range of skills during their law course. Studying law not only prepares you to work as a lawyer but also as a legal consultant, legal publisher, human resource manager, banker, financer, and even tech-savvy legal professional.

Britons held as U.S. bombs terror camp in Somalia
Last updated at 21:54 09 January 2007
Suspected terrorists from Britain are being held after being caught in Somalia, it was revealed.
The news comes after the United States launched two air strikes on a suspected al Qaeda warlord in Somalia yesterday, apparently killing four civilians.
Ethiopia's prime minister Mele Zenawi said international terrorists have been killed or captured since Ethiopia invaded Somalia last month, accusing an Islamic group of harbouring
extremists — among them al Qaeda suspects.
He said that he did not know the exact number of prisoners being held in Somalia "because it changes constantly".
Mr Zenawi said his forces were holding people from the Britain, Yemen, Pakistan and Sudan. The Kenyans have also detained Eritrean and Canadian
passport holders.
In the first US strike yesterday, AC-130 attack plane rained gunfire on the southern village of Hayo, believed to be a terror training base. The target, Abu Talha al-Sudani, is wanted for the
bombings of two US embassies in East Africa that killed more than 250 people.
His cell has also been blamed for an attack on an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya in 2002 in which 15 people died.
It is understood the strikes were ordered when cell members were tracked by aerial surveillance after they fled war-torn capital Mogadishu.
Somali government sources said most of the killed were Islamist fighters.
Deputy prime minister Hussein Aideed said: "The US were trying to kill the al Qaeda terrorists who carried out the bomb attacks on their embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. They have our full support."
Talha al-Sudani is alleged to have been the financier for Fazul Abdullah Mohammed and Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, blamed for the 1998 embassy bombings in Nairobi and Tanzania.
It was not clear whether Al-Sudani was hit. He is Sudanese, has lived in Somalia since 1993 and is an explosives expert suspected of having links to
Osama bin Laden in the mid-Nineties.
Today, the US stepped up its assault with eye-witnesses claiming that helicopter gunships were attacking positions around Ras Karnbani.

Statements by Members
Harry, Mr Richard
All House debates on 23 Jun 2021 « Previous debate Next debate »
Tony Pasin (Barker, Liberal Party) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source
I rise to offer my congratulations to Richard Harry for being awarded the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia's prestigious Max Gardner Award for Distinguished Service. Richard is a humble but dedicated individual who has been the driving force behind the Limestone Coast Prostate Cancer Support Group for over a decade. Richard's tireless advocacy has played a vital role in providing men and their families with information, comfort and support, calling on his very own personal experience to make a difference in others' lives. I've had the privilege of working alongside Richard at my annual prostate cancer Big Aussie BBQ over many years, and I can't think of a finer recipient of this award. In my letter of support, I described Richard as 'always available to assist any man, or their family, going through their journey with this disease' and said:
Mr Harry and the Limestone Coast prostate cancer support group have achieved much, but possibly their greatest achievement is the fundraising efforts that secured a Trans perineal Biopsy Machine in the South East. Thanks to his efforts, urologists can now test men in the South East of South Australia without the need for them to travel to Adelaide or Melbourne. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Harry for the Max Gardner Award.
That statement rings as true now as it did then. He is a fantastic Australian.

Anglophone Cameroon's Separatist Conflict Gets Bloodier
admin June 4, 2018	POLITICS Leave a comment 45 Views
Clashes between insurgents fighting for a breakaway republic in Cameroon's English-speaking region and security forces have killed scores of people and displaced tens of thousands more since the conflict intensified late last year.
In the bloodiest incident to date, Cameroonian forces surrounded and killed more than two dozen suspected separatists in the town of Menka, in Cameroon's Northwest Region, last weekend.
Insurgents have abducted and killed soldiers and policemen in hit-and-run guerrilla raids.
Cameroonian forces have responded with scorched earth tactics such as burning down villages then opening fire on fleeing residents, witnesses told Reuters in February. The army denies such accusations.
The unrest threatens the stability of one of Africa's larger economies ahead of October elections widely expected to extend 85-year-old President Paul Biya's three and a half decades in power. It has hurt cocoa output and risks spilling into Nigeria.
WHY IS CAMEROON DIVIDED?
At the end of World War One, the League of Nations carved up Germany's imperial possessions in Africa between allied victors, mostly Britain and France.
Most of the German colony of Kamerun – a swathe of central Africa housing peoples speaking 250 languages – went to France. A small part went to Britain.
At independence in 1960, English speakers were given the choice of remaining part of Cameroon or joining bigger neighbor Nigeria, a former British territory.
They voted to stay with Cameroon, but have since felt increasingly marginalized by the French-speaking government in Yaounde hundreds of miles away.
They say the best government jobs go to French speakers, and that education, roads and health in their western region are neglected, despite Cameroon having produced tens of thousands of barrels of oil a day since the 1970s, mostly in the south-west, an English-speaking region.
WHAT DO THE SEPARATISTS WANT?
Initially most Anglophones in Cameroon wanted their grievances addressed. A minority wanted an independent state, which they call "Ambazonia".
However, since late 2016 a heavy-handed response to protests — including the jailing of some English-speaking activists and sympathizers — has convinced many that only severance from Cameroon will satisfy their yearning for a better life.
The Ambazonians have printed passports, designed a currency and a flag, composed a national anthem and set up a satellite TV station.
Many of their most influential figures are in exile in Europe and the United States, however.
They also have a vocal presence on social media, reflecting the Anglophone region's reputation as an unlikely but successful tech hub, dubbed "Silicon Mountain".
HOW DID IT TURN VIOLENT?
In October 2016 lawyers and teachers in English-speaking cities went on strike in protest at having to use French in schools and courtrooms.
In the ensuing clashes, six protesters were killed and hundreds arrested, some of whom were put on trial for charges carrying long sentences or the death penalty.
Authorities cut Internet access for three months.
Support for secession grew, and on Oct. 1, 2017 — the anniversary of the region's independence from Britain — thousands took to the streets to demand a breakaway state. The military stepped in.
Witnesses said troops opened fire from attack helicopters; the military denied this.
Thousands of Anglophones fled the ensuing crackdown, which Cameroon authorities said was necessary to restore peace and curb banditry. They described it as an anti-terrorist operation.
A month later, separatists launched the first guerrilla attacks on security forces, killing four over a few days.
WHAT IS THE WIDER IMPACT?
Cameroon's 180,000 barrels per day of oil output is mostly offshore and its main economic hubs — the port of Douala and the capital Yaounde — have been unaffected.
But cocoa fields in the world's fourth biggest producer have been left fallow and Cameroon's nascent tech sector has withered.
Most of the displaced are in Cameroon but more than 20,000 refugees have fled to Nigeria, which Cameroonian authorities have long feared could become a rear base for a guerrilla campaign.
WHAT ARE OTHER COUNTRIES DOING?
In theory, a destabilized west Cameroon might suit Nigeria.
Abuja accepted a 2002 International Court of Justice ruling that the disputed and oil-rich Bakassi peninsula, part of the Anglophone south-west, belonged to Cameroon, despite having come close to war over it several times. But Nigeria periodically grumbles about it.
So far, Nigeria has cooperated, deporting separatists including Julius Ayuk Tabe, a key leader. Diplomats say it needs Cameroon's help in fighting Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which plagues the neighbors' common border up north.
Britain and France have kept their distance, conscious of post-colonial rivalry pitting them against each other in African civil conflicts – as in Rwanda in the early 1990s when English-speaking Tutsi rebels battled Francophone Hutus.
France has condemned separatist violence and urged dialogue. Britain has "encouraged the parties to reject violence."
Biya, who has ruled virtually by decree since replacing a retired predecessor in 1982, is almost certain to win an October election. In 2011, he won by 78 percent.
His leadership style coupled with long absences overseas — usually to Switzerland with his wife — makes a goodwill gesture to smooth things over unlikely.
The poll will be difficult to organize in the hostile Anglophone region. Anywhere where voting fails to happen could ignite in fresh bouts of unrest.
There is also an outside chance that the low-level insurgency could escalate into a broader civil conflict, if enough people join the rebellion and if they get enough arms.
Nigeria's next door delta region is awash with cheap weapons and criminal gangs who would be willing to sell, although cooperation by its authorities has denied the rebels a convenient base.

With this feature, The users you'll be able to create your own music videos with special Snapchat lenses.
The dynamic lenses let users share custom Lens on Snapchat to invite their friends to their virtual groups.

In the coming weeks, Headspace will offer guided mini-meditations and tools for helping our community check in on their friends," the statement by Snapchat read.
Snapchat has also added a special in-app reporting tool which will allow the users to alert the app if any of their friends are at risk for self-harm and Snapchat in return will notify that friend of the help that is available to them.
Snapchat reveals that over 25 million people watched news stories on the app this year so keeping that in mind, the company announced a Happening Now feature, which would provide all the news from around the world to the users.

The Ranik Ultimate Fighting Federation, China's exclusively sanctioned MMA organization, is set to present their fourth event, RUFF 4. The show will host the second installment of their Super Fight series.
The Ranik Ultimate Fighting Federation (RUFF) will return to action with RUFF 4 on Saturday, June 30th, when China's top Mixed Martials Arts (MMA) fighters square off at Hohhot's Inner Mongolia Indoor Stadium.
The second event in RUFF's year-long Super Fight series, RUFF 4 will feature many of RUFF's top fighters, along with a new crop of contenders, all of whom will vie for the chance to become China's first MMA National Champion.
In the main event, undefeated featherweight and feared striker Wang Guan will do battle with Macau-based Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) black belt Sandro da Silva, while the co-main event will feature a pair of BJJ black belts going head-to-head in the lightweight division, as undefeated RUFF veteran Rodrigo Caporal takes on former The Ultimate Fighter competitor, Taiwan's Andy Wang.
The bantamweight division will also see the renewal of one of RUFF's best rivalries to date, as Ayideng Jumayi and Irshaad Sayed face off in a highly anticipated rematch. Sayed narrowly edged out a split decision victory over Jumayi at RUFF 2, a three round battle that was later named "Fight of the Night," and now Jumayi looks to avenge his only loss inside the RUFF cage.
RUFF 4 marks a monumental development in RUFF's mission to bring MMA to every household in mainland China, as the CSPN, Hubei Sports, Jiangxi Sports, Jiangsu Sports, and Guangzhou Sports networks have all signed on to air RUFF broadcasts, bringing RUFF's potential viewership up to 440-million people.
The first ever government-sanctioned professional fighting organization in mainland China, RUFF promotes MMA in association with the Wushu Administrative Center of the General Administration of Sport of China, and in addition to continuing our partnership with Los Angeles-based Mandt Bros. Productions, we have renewed our relationships with key sponsors Nike and Ducati.
C.O.M.M.A.N.D.-certified Canadian referee Jerin Valel will once again be returning to oversee the event and the implementation of the unified rules, ensuring RUFF 4 will not only feature world-class competition, but also the highest level of officiating, fighter safety and integrity.

Q: Integrate PHP on Apache and Java on Tomcat 1) I am using
              a) JSP : Front-end programming language
              b) PHP : Backend Programming language

2) These are the two languages can be run on Apache server without the integration of Tomcat.
3) But, for enhancing the logic of website, we use JAVA as another Back-end Programming language.
4) Now, this JAVA need to be integrated with the JSP and PHP pages of website.
5) So, in one JSP file, a part of the code can be in JAVA and part of the code can be in PHP.
6) Ideally, it would be great if the part of PHP code runs on Apache server and Java code runs on Tomcat server.
7) Else, please let me know to find an integration of PHP servlet which can use to run PHP code on Tomcat server.

A: PHP doesn't run in Tomcat; it gets run by an Apache module (if you're using Apache!)
JSP and Java will run in Tomcat.  JSP won't run bare-metal in Apache.
There are a few ways to get Tomcat integrated into Apache.
In terms of what you seem to want to do- I would look at implementing it all in either in php or java/jsp.
If you can't do that, then you could implement some REST like services in php or java and call them from the other system.  This actually might be a good thing if you want to scale things really big, but while things aren't really big(tm) you're going to have to manage the added complexity, not least of which are having things in completely different languages.

Games For Windows es una Plataforma de videojuegos de Microsoft que se remonta al menos a 2005, y fue revisado en 2006. Esta certificación para juegos en físicos para hacerlos operativos en Windows fácil y accesible como en populares consolas de videojuegos. La campaña ha sido promovida a través de convenio de quioscos a través de otros foros en 2005.

Games for Windows Live desapareció el 1 de julio de 2014. Fue remplazado por la plataforma Xbox para PC

Historia
GFW debutó el 29 de mayo de 2007 con Shadowrun y Halo 2, ambos exclusivos para Windows Vista. GFW soporta logros, puntos y comunicación entre Pc y consolas, también permite juego cruzado entre ambos pero es por deseo del desarrolladores, y en realidad pocos juegos tuvieron capacidad para juego cruzado: Shadownrun, Dark Souls 1, Universe at War: Earth Assault and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition entre otros.

Al igual que Xbox divide a los usuarios en Silver y Gold, ser Gold es requerido para jugar en línea (independientemente si tiene juego cruzado o no) del mismo modo que Xbox Gold es requerido en su caso, afortunadamente si eras Gold en tu consola, también lo eras en GFW. Sin embargo, a partir del 22 de julio de 2008, Microsoft anunció en el Gamefest 2008 que el acceso en línea ahora es gratuito, añadiendo la palabra Live a su nombre. Al igual que su contraparte de consola, los usuarios podrán descargar contenido como demos de juegos, accesorios, fotos y juegos. Algunos temas serán gratis, mientras que otros tendrán que ser pagados por el uso de "Microsoft Points", según lo determinado por el editor de dichos puntos. Microsoft también tiene previsto hacer de los Games For Windows - Live con una interfaz más amigable, y reducir los requisitos técnicos para desarrolladores.

Tray and Play
Es una tecnología desarrollada por Microsoft para Windows Vista. Permite a los usuarios poner el disco del juego en una unidad de discos ópticos y empezar a jugar casi de inmediato, mientras que el juego se instala en el fondo. El primer y actualmente único juego para el uso comercial de esta tecnología es la versión para Windows de Halo 2. Más tarde reapareció como una característica del Xbox One

Embalaje de los juegos
Los videojuegos que se venden bajo la plataforma son distribuidos en un packaging de diseño estándar para facilitar la identificación y distinguirlos de títulos que se venden a través de otra distribución. En la zona superior de la caja en la que se guarda el soporte óptico del juego se incluye el logotipo de "Games for Windows"; el arte de tapa (fuera de la zona del logotipo) es exclusivo de cada juego y no depende de Microsoft ni de la marca "Games for Windows".

Normas de Plataformas
Juegos que deseen ser incluidas en los Juegos de la plataforma de Windows deben cumplir ciertos requisitos regulados por Microsoft. Estos incluyen:

Una "Instalación sencilla", opción que se instala el título en su PC en el menor número posible de pasos y clics de ratón.
Compatibilidad con el Windows Vista Games Explorer (véase más adelante).
Se instala y ejecuta correctamente en x64 las versiones de Windows Vista y es compatible con procesadores de 64 bits (aunque el juego en sí mismo puede ser de 32-bit).
Soporta resoluciones normal y panorámica, como la relación de aspecto 4:3 (800 x 600, 1024 x 768), relación de aspecto 16:9 (1280 x 720), y 16:10 relación de aspecto (1280 x 800, 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1200).
Soporta los controles parentales y familiares en la configuración de las características de Windows Vista.
Lanzamiento de Windows Media Center (Windows Vista Home Premium y Windows Vista Ultimate y Windows 7) tienen Windows Media Center.
Soporte del mando Xbox 360 para Windows, si los controladores de juego es compatible con otras.

Windows Vista Games Explorer
Incluido con todas las versiones de Windows Vista, esta carpeta especial muestra los diferentes juegos instalados en el ordenador. Cuando un juego compatible es instalado, el sistema añade el juego del acceso directo al Explorador de Juegos y descarga también la caja de arte del juego y la clasificación de contenidos de información (por ejemplo, ESRB, PEGI, CERO, etc) para que los desarrolladores del juego, ya sea a través de los propios archivos de definición de juego o de la información proporcionada por todos los medios de comunicación Guía de Media.

Compatibilidad generalmente depende de la edad o la popularidad de los juegos con los juegos más nuevos que tengan una mejor compatibilidad. Por ejemplo, StarCraft es totalmente compatible a pesar de ser casi una década más de Windows Vista. Si un juego no es compatible con el Explorador de Juegos, el usuario puede agregar manualmente un juego arrastrando un acceso directo del juego al Explorador (aunque existe una gran posibilidad de que la caja y la casilla de calificación información falte).

El Explorador de juegos es totalmente compatible con el controlador parental del Windows Vista. Los padres pueden restringir el tiempo que un niño puede jugar y qué tipo de juegos que él o ella puede jugar (sobre la base de calificaciones y / o títulos específicos).

Magazine
Games for Windows: Magazine es el título de una revista de videojuegos hecho por Ziff Davis Media y Microsoft. La fecha de publicación de su primer número fue en noviembre de 2006. A partir de abril / mayo de 2008, la revista ya no está en la impresión y la redacción se ha integrado con rama de PC 1UP (1UP.com)

UK patients to get faster access to cannabis-based medicines
Patients in the UK who are prescribed cannabis-based medicines will be able to get their treatment in days rather than months, according to an announcement from the Home Office.
Thanks to changes in import restrictions licensed wholesalers can now import larger quantities of products, and hold supplies in stock. People with prescriptions for cannabis-based products will be able to access medicine in days, rather than months. Previously, only amounts required for individual prescriptions could be imported, with no bulk ordering or holding of supplies.
Most cannabis-based medicines are imported from foreign countries such as Canada and The Netherlands. Export restrictions mean it can take weeks or months for the drugs to reach the patients in the UK. In Canada for example, an export certificate can take 4 to 8 weeks.
The news was welcomed by campaigners hoping to improve patients access to cannabis. Speaking to the BBC Jonathan Blades, head of campaigns and external relations at the MS Society, said a large number of patients were being forced to turn to illegal, often unsafe, forms of cannabis to treat their symptoms, and that more needed to be done to overcome "unnecessary impediments" for patients in need of treatment.
It has been some time rules were relaxed to allow cannabis-based medicines to be prescribed to UK patients by specialist doctors, but uptake in prescriptions by doctors has been painfully slow. In November last year, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended 2 cannabis-based medicinal products for patients with multiple sclerosis and hard-to-treat epilepsies, but only when all other treatment options had been exhausted. As a result, few prescriptions have been made on the NHS, and private clinics remain prohibitively expensive for most patients.
Matt Hancock, Health and Social Care Secretary said:
"Every time I meet the families of young people dealing so bravely with childhood epilepsy, I am reminded of just how much they have been through. The changes made today are a tremendous step towards improving the supply of cannabis-based medicinal products by helping to ensure quicker and more reliable access for patients."
"But we still have a long way to go. We need more research into the quality and safety of these medicines, and to do all we can to cut down the costs and remove barriers so that, when appropriate, patients can access it, including on the NHS."
