As we previously posted, the Chancery Court appraised the fair value of Clearwire Corp. to be $2.13 per share, substantially below the $5 per share merger price paid by Sprint Nextel Corp in July 2013. This post will provide a more detailed breakdown of the ruling and the bases for Vice Chancellor Laster's opinion.
The court examined not only the underlying acquisition of Clearwire by Sprint, but also the related transaction by which Softbank Corp. — Japan's largest telecom company — planned to acquire Sprint, immediately upon Sprint's acquisition of Clearwire. The sale process in effect proceeded in two stages, the first leg of which culminated in December 2012, with Sprint agreeing to pay $2.97 per share for Clearwire. But shareholder reaction to that initial deal was extremely negative and drew active opposition. At the same time, DISH, Sprint's competitor, proposed a tender offer at $3.30 per share, along with other financing terms as well as demands regarding board appointments and other governance rights. This intervention by DISH disrupted the sale process, which thus entered into a new phase that ultimately culminated in Sprint paying $5 per share in June 2013. In particular, DISH and Sprint engaged in a bidding war starting in April that involved Sprint raising its $2.97 offer to $3.40, DISH topping that offer at $4.40 per share, and Sprint again increasing its bid to $5 per share in June 2013.
Before reaching the appraisal issue, the court analyzed whether a breach of fiduciary duty had occurred and whether the transaction was entirely fair to overcome any claim of breach. Because the transaction involved self-dealing by a controlling shareholder — Sprint owned just over 50 percent of Clearwire heading into the negotiations — the applicable standard of judicial review was entire fairness, with Clearwire bearing the burden of persuasion of proving that the transaction was entirely fair.
The court was persuaded that Sprint and Softbank actually did engage in a series of acts that constituted unfair dealing. However, the court was not persuaded that any of that unfair dealing had any impact on the ultimate $5 merger price that was reached in June 2013. Indeed, once DISH intervened in the process, the court found that the landscape had changed "so substantially as to render immaterial the instances of unfair dealing that took place during the first phase" of the sale process. Opinion, at 50. The court thus found that despite Sprint and Softbank's unfair dealing during the first phase of the transaction, the eventual $5 merger price and the process that culminated in it were entirely fair.
Given this distinction between the two phases of the sale process, the court reviewed a series of missteps that would otherwise have rendered the transaction unfair, but because the deal price ultimately did not remain at $2.97 and increased to the revised $5 price, that any incidents that would have tainted the first phase of the transaction ultimately lost their relevance once Sprint increased the merger consideration to $5.
In a hypothetical world in which the Clearwire-Sprint merger closed at $2.97 per share, Sprint and Softbank's interference with the stockholder vote on the Clearwire-Sprint merger would have warranted a finding of unfairness and an award of a fairer price. Under those circumstances, the resulting award would not have approached $5.00 per share. It likely would have anchored off of the Special Committee's consistent demand of $3.15 per share, thereby giving credit to the contemporaneous judgment of Clearwire's informed, independent fiduciaries. . . . At $5.00 per share, the consideration received by the minority stockholders exceeded anything this court would have awarded as a remedy for unfair dealing.
Having found the transaction to be entirely fair, the court then examined what the stock's fair value should be to resolve the appraisal case. The court relied on Delaware precedent providing a judge with discretion to select one of the party's valuation models as its general framework, citing MG Bancorporation, Inc. v. LeBeau, 737 A.2d 513, 525-26 (Del. 1999).
The court found that with neither party having argued in favor of deal price, and with the record containing other reliable evidence of fair value, it did not consider at all the deal price but relied exclusively instead on a DCF analysis. In doing its DCF analysis, the court found that the heart of the dispute — i.e., 90% of the difference in valuations as between the two sides — arose from the difference in the projections that each side's valuation expert used.
The petitioners' expert, Professor Gregg Jarrell, used the so-called Full Build Projections that were prepared by Sprint, while the respondent's expert, Professor Bradford Cornell, used the so-called Single Customer Case projections that had been prepared by Clearwire's management. The court expressed a clear preference for the Single Customer Case projections, because they were prepared by the seller's own management, and were done in the ordinary course of business. The court found that the Single Customer Case projections accurately reflected Clearwire's operative reality as of the merger date. In contrast, the court held that the Full Build Projections were created by Sprint's management team — not Clearwire's — in order to convince Softbank to increase its offer and thereby top DISH's offer price. Accordingly, not only were the Full Build Projections created by someone other than management of the seller, but they were created by the buyer with the motivation of showing greater value in Clearwire in order to induce Softbank to bid higher. Moreover, in examining the various assumptions underlying the Full Build Projections, the court found them to be without basis in the record and dependent on aggressive, "herculean" assumptions about future business with, and prices charged by, Clearwater, which were simply not a part of Clearwire's operative reality.
In contrast, the court found that respondent's use of Clearwire's own Single Customer Case, which was prepared by Clearwire management in the ordinary course of business, was the more, and indeed only, reliable set of projections, as Clearwire's management had significant experience in preparing long-term financial projections, and they regularly updated the Single Customer case, and even did so as recently as May 2013, within a month of the merger agreement. While those projections did contemplate a significant increase in Sprint's wholesale payments to Clearwire, the assumptions did not reflect the astronomical increases that the court found petitioners' projections to rely on. And in all events, the court found that Clearwire had tried for years to obtain additional customers, without success, and that there was no reason to believe that it would have had greater success in obtaining any additional customers in the years going forward. Given its finding that the Single Customer Case was the most reliable set of projections reflecting Clearwire's operative reality as of the merger date, the court adapted wholesale the respondent's expert's use of those projections in his DCF.
The only other significant differential in the parties' DCF analysis was the perpetuity growth rate. The court agreed with the respondent's expert's (Cornell's) use of a perpetuity growth rate at 3.35%, which represented the midpoint of inflation and GDP growth. The petitioners' expert (Jarrell) used a perpetuity growth rate of 4.5%, which represented expected GDP growth. To the extent that Jarrell's justification for his use of GDP growth was based on Clearwire's expected performance under the Full Build Projections, the court rejected that rationale, having rejected the notion that the Full Build Projections reflected the realistic future performance of Clearwater for the projection period. Indeed, the court found Cornell's choice of the midpoint between inflation and GDP to be more realistic — if anything, more generous for Clearwire — given the likelihood that Clearwire would require ongoing financing from Sprint in order to remain solvent under the Single Customer Case.
The court proceeded to discuss minor differences in some of the components of the discount rate, as well as the parties' dispute over the value that should be added to the DCF based on Clearwire's unused spectrum. Once again, the court generally rejected Jarrell's assumptions in these areas, although none of these issues had a significant impact on the valuation analysis.
Based on these factors, the court adapted Cornell's DCF valuation in its entirety, and awarded the petitioners fair value at $2.13 per share, the value that Cornell had arrived at. In so holding, the court repeatedly cited the recent PetSmart decision to underscore the principle that Delaware Chancery prefers that the projections used in a DCF be derived from contemporaneous management projections that are prepared in the ordinary course of business. Such projections are generally deemed more reliable as they are prepared by management — who has the best first-hand knowledge of the company's operations — and they are generally not influenced by transactional dynamics or tainted by hindsight-driven litigation considerations. But unlike PetSmart, here the court did not peg fair value at merger price given that a case could be made that the previously agreed-to price of $2.97 itself reflected fair value, and that the $5 price that followed the bidding war with DISH was loaded with synergies and was not predicated on valuation fundamentals that were materially different from those used to support the initial $2.97 price.

Celebrating the UN's Designation of April 5 as the International Day of Conscience in Vienna
Ambassadors, leaders of NGOs and business leaders shared their insights on love, peace, and conscience during the World Leader Summit of Love and Peace, co-organized by the Permanent Mission of Bahrain to the UN (Vienna), the Flame of Peace, and the Federation of World Peace and Love (FOWPAL), in Vienna on October 10, 2019. The event, attended by leaders of conscience from 22 nations, was to celebrate the United Nations' adoption of the resolution entitled "Promoting the Culture of Peace with Love and Conscience" and the designation of April 5 as the International Day of Conscience.
Several similar celebrations were held during the 68th UN Civil Society Conference and the 74th session of the UN General Assembly since the adoption of the International Day of Conscience by the UN in July 2019. Through these events, the awareness of this UN day has been raised among leaders from around the world. Widespread promotion of the International Day of Conscience will lead to humanity's collective awakening of conscience.
During the summit, H.E. Dr. Yusuf Abdulkarim Bucheeri, Permanent Representative of Bahrain to the UN (Vienna), expressed his joy of co-hosting the conference with FOWPAL and the Flame of Peace. He said: "I wish to pay tribute to Dr. Hong and the global members of FOWPAL for their dedication, commitment, resilience, and tireless efforts promoting the culture of peace with love and conscience."
Ambassador Bucheeri also shared a message from H.R.H. Prince Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain, about the UN's designation of April 5 as the International Day of Conscience. His Royal Highness proclaimed, "This day will be, from now on, a new, constructive, regular and consistent way to mobilize the international community's efforts to promote peace for security of peoples and communities and achieve sustainable development goals."
Dr. Hong, Tao-Tze, President of FOWPAL, stressed, "Every one of us here today is a leader of conscience with great influences. We hope that after exchanging ideas and experiences with one another, we will jointly promote the International Day of Conscience in our respective nations and positions. We can host educational programs on love, peace, and conscience and encourage peace talks and universal ceasefires. Through our collective efforts, we will create a culture of conscience to benefit all humanity and allow the current and succeeding generations to enjoy a future of peace, harmony, and sustainability."
Several speakers shared their thoughts about conscience. His Lordship Bishop Camillo Ballin, Apostolic Vicar of Northern Arabia, stressed, " From their time at primary school, children must be educated to listen to the inner voice that directs them towards moral rectitude."
On behalf of the president of Lebanon, H.E. Mr. Ibrahim Assaf, Ambassador of Lebanon to the UN (Vienna), attended the summit and said that "a culture of peace is one of the most important tools of the United Nations." Ambassador Assaf also stated that differences do exist, so "dialogue has become a necessity.
H.E. Mr. Mohammed Saleh Ali Rashid Al Gheilani, Head of the Permanent Observer Mission of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to the UN in Vienna, said that he would like to congratulate the Kingdom of Bahrain, one of the member countries of GCC, on having its draft resolution adopted by the United Nations. Thanks to the Kingdom of Bahrain, along with FOWPAL, "we got actually a day of conscience," said the GCC UN ambassador.
H.E. Mr. Mirghani Abbaker Altayeb Bakhet, Ambassador of Sudan to the UN (Vienna), expressed his appreciation to the Kingdom of Bahrain and the FOWPAL for all their efforts to foster world peace and a culture of peace.
Mr. Bernd Wenske, Writer, Speaker, and Business Coach, said that "we should tell our political leaders and leading companies to start collaborating and stop competing." He stressed, "It's hard to solve global problems without international collaboration." "Spread good thoughts daily, so people get infected until positive minds are everywhere," added Wenske.
With reference to the impact of global warming, Mr. Hans-Werner Kummerow, Managing Director of SBI Sons of Bavaria Investment AG, proposed to produce fresh water by desalination. He thinks this will "slow down the rise of sea levels, remove plastics from the oceans, help increase forested areas, help feed a growing population, help to cool lower levels of the atmosphere, create a patchwork of UN-Territories and spread Peace with Love and Conscience."
The event was also attended by other influential leaders, including H.E. Mr. Mohamed Samir Koubaa, Head of the Permanent Observer Mission for the League of Arab States to the UN (Vienna); H.E. Mr. Omar Amer Youssef, Ambassador of Egypt to the UN (Vienna); H.E. Mr. Baker Fattah Hussen, Ambassador of Iraq to Austria; H.E. Ms. Leena Al-Hadid, Ambassador of Jordan to the UN (Vienna), H.E. Mr. Haytham Adbulmomen Shoja'aadin, Ambassador of Yemen to the UN (Vienna); H.E. Mr. Ondrej Gavalec, Alternate Permanent Representative of Slovakia to the UN (Vienna); and Mr. Nor Dine Sadouk, Chargé d'Affaires, Permanent Mission of Morocco to the UN (Vienna).
FOWPAL hopes that all peace promoters will work together and encourage people in all parts of the world to celebrate the first-ever International Day of Conscience together on April 5, 2020!

The Maple Leafs have finally bolstered their defense.
Toronto has acquired defenceman Jake Muzzin from Los Angeles in exchange for forward Carl Grundstrom, the rights to Sean Durzi and Toronto's first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft.
The 29-year-old Muzzin has been a rock in a struggling year for the Kings, posting four goals, 21 points and a plus-10 rating through 50 contests this season. In 496 career NHL games, the blueliner has registered 213 points (51 goals) and 298 PIM.
Muzzin has also played a key role in the Kings' playoff success, recording seven goals and 20 points in 50 career postseason games. He was a Stanley Cup Champion in 2014.
Muzzin was originally selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the fifth round (141st overall) of the 2007 NHL Draft. He signed an entry-level contract with Los Angeles in 2010.
Kings Vice President and General Manager Rob Blake issued a statement about trading Muzzin, who had played with the Kings since the 2010-11 season.
Muzzin has a lethal shot and can be a reliable source of offense on the back-end, but he's mainly known for his shutdown ability and physical play. He ranks 17th among all NHL defensemen with 111 hits this season.
The Maple Leafs are parting ways with forward Carl Grundstrom in the trade.
The 21-year-old Swedish winger is currently playing for the Toronto Marlies of the AHL, where he has 13 goals and 29 points in 42 games. He was selected by the Maple Leafs in the second-round (57th overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft.
Grundstrom will be assigned by the Kings to the Ontario Reign (AHL).
Durzi was selected by the Maple Leafs in the second-round (52nd overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old has recorded 35 goals and 131 points in 171 career OHL regular-season games. He was traded to Guelph from the Owen Sound Attack earlier this month.
The trade comes during a difficult stretch for Toronto in which they have just four wins in their last 11 games.

Q: Sending and displaying images from Adonis V4.1 How can I send an image from a React App to Adonis, "save" it on the database, and when needed to fetch it to use in the front-end?
Right now, I was only successful in processing an image via Postman, my code would be like this:
const image = request.file('photo', {
  types: ['image'],
  size: '2mb',
});

await image.move(Helpers.tmpPath('uploads'), {
  name: `${Date.now()}-${image.clientName}`,
});

if (image.status !== 'moved') {
  return image.error;
}

/////

const data = {
  username,
  email,
  role,
  photo: image.fileName,
  password,
  access: 1,
};

const user = await User.create(data);

In the first part, I process the image move it to tmp inside the backend, on the next part I use image.fileName and create a User.
And when I need to fetch my user list, I do it like this:
const colaboradoresList = await Database.raw(
  'select * from colaboradores where access = 1'
);
const userList = colaboradoresList[0];
userList.map((i) => (i.url = Helpers.tmpPath(`uploads/${i.photo}`)));

But as you can tell, Helpers.tmpPath('uploads/${i.photo}')) will return the local path to the current image, and I cannot display it on React since I need to use the public folder or download it and import.
Is there a way to do it locally, or the only way would be to create an AWS and use Drive.getUrl() to create a URL and send back to my front end?

A: Yes the UI cannot display local files, you need to expose a public url for the image. You have two options depending of the scope of this application

*

*If you plan to run this as a professional app, I would highly suggest to use something like AWS S3 to store images.

*Otherwise you can probably get away with setting up a route for the React UI to query. Something like /api/image/:id could return the binary or base64 encoded data of the image, which React could then display.

A: instead of
await image.move(Helpers.tmpPath('uploads'), {
  name: `${Date.now()}-${image.clientName}`,
});

I use:
await image.move(Helpers.publicPath('uploads'),
{name: `${Date.now()}-${image.clientName}`})

For that you will need to change the folders to make it store correctly:

And then send to the front-end url = '/uploads/${i.photo}', where i.photo is the file name, so I can concatenate in React like so apiBase + url.
The result being your apiUrl + your file path that should be on public folder:

I recently started following @JamesClear on twitter. A pretty insightful guy with great thoughts on leadership, strength & conditioning, and the quest to always better ourselves. He wrote a great article the other day about Jerry Seinfeld and his strategy for accomplishing a regular task that will help you be successful. The bottom line of the article – Don't Break the Chain. Figure out the one thing you can do every day that will make you successful, and then do it every day. This creates a chain of activity – Don't Break the Chain.
I HIGHLY recommend his stuff – seems like a great guy full of awesome ideas.

Here Are Some New Ideas Rian Johnson's Trilogy Could Introduce
July 6, 2018 Annlyel James	3 Comments
With Rian Johnson's new trilogy the slate will be wiped clean and he's been given the incredible opportunity to tell a new story in this ever-expanding franchise. But with new stories come different concepts to things we may have or have not seen before. He has already announced that he wants to take the trilogy away from the classic Skywalker saga and begin a new tale, one that moves away from those nostalgic elements that Disney has been clinging on to for dear life. But how is he going to do that? Well, here are some of the ideas I would present to this upcoming trilogy. Enjoy!
New Galactic Soldiers
Throughout Star Wars there is a common soldier of an army. Through the original trilogy it was the Imperial Stormtroopers. In the prequel trilogy it was the droids of the Trade Federation and the Clones of the Republic Army. And now in the current trilogy there are the First Order stormtroopers. So let's say, theoretically, this new trilogy is set a thousand years into the future, as I explained in my last post. There will undoubtedly be a new galactic order which means there needs to be soldiers to protect that order.
I think these soldiers should be actual warriors unprogrammed like robots in the fashion of the infamous stormtroopers but trained as people are trained every day to protect the world they love. What their names will be, I don't know, but I think it would be nice to see a different concept for soldiers in Star Wars than what we've seen before.
The New Galactic Order
Every trilogy has a ruling government that is trying to be overturned by either the good guys or the bad guys. That's how this franchise works. Without war there would be no Star Wars and I would not be writing this post right now. So what would the new government be? I would love to see a more royal approach to Star Wars. Like the British Royal Family of the Star Wars franchise.
Over the years this certain family (because Star Wars is basically a gigantic family drama right?) has acquired enough followers and believers to take over the galaxy, holding this certain corner of the galaxy in their iron clad grip. For those at the top of the economic chain they love this family who is keeping their wellbeing in check but for those who are the rat scum of the galaxy they wish for a better life where equality reigns rather than systematic discrimination. That's where the story finds its foothold and we are given a first glimpse at the imminent conflict set to appear in this trilogy that will lead through the three films to an exciting conclusion.
The Main Hero or Heroine Should Be An Alien
Star Wars is a story about characters in another galaxy filled with aliens, droids, and mystical powers. As many aliens as there are in Star Wars isn't it weird that the only major aliens we've seen up to this point is Chewbacca and Jar Jar Binks? What, aliens aren't heroes too? If Rian Johnson wants this trilogy to stand out I think the Luke or Rey of this story should be an extraterrestrial being. It can be a humanoid alien so it won't upset people's sensibilities but I definitely think we should give the backseat to humans this time around and include more alien heroes in this story.
Are There Still Jedi and Sith?
The concept of the Jedi and the Sith are two of the most recognizable elements to the Star Wars franchise. The whole story is wrapped around the idea of good and bad, dark side versus the light. But what if that is no longer the case a thousand years into the future? What if the concept of the Grey Jedi (a Force wielder who harnesses both the light and the dark) actually goes into effect and we're introduced to a whole new breed of galactic warriors?
I would call them the Wardens and they have been bound as warriors of the galaxy should the need arise. The Wardens would be protectors of the Force just like the Jedi once were but in classic Star Wars fashion a few of the Wardens should rebel, flipping the script and going on their own path to forge a new destiny bent on attaining power.
The Concept of Family
Star Wars has always been a story about the struggles and triumphs of family. It's what gives this franchise its heart and probably the reason why it's been shared through so many families around the world over the past four decades. Without family or a sort of extremely close friendship Star Wars would not have the classic essence that it does and I think this new trilogy needs to keep that trend going.
Of course, it wouldn't be the iconic Skywalker family that these new movies would revolve around but we've seen Star Wars movies that focused on family without involving the Skywalkers in a single sentence (Rogue One.) Jyn's bond with her rebellious mother and father was apparent throughout the entirety of the Star Wars Story and would eventually lead her to finding the willingness to stand up against the Empire.
If this new trilogy is going to capture the heart of most Star Wars fans it needs to be a tale of family or it just isn't going to feel…right.
The Antagonists
There is always usually one main villain in a Star Wars trilogy. That villain will terrorize and hound the heroes until the eventual conclusion of the three movies. But what if Rian Johnson changed the narrative and provided at last three major antagonists in the trilogy to make life miserable for the heroes? Could you imagine having Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and Emperor Palpatine in one trilogy? It would be so awesome. I think that would immediately make this trilogy feel different and it could turn out to be the coolest idea out of all the changes to these upcoming films.
And at least one of them should be a woman. Captain Phasma is still the franchise's only major female antagonist and while Qi'Ra in Solo seems to be heading in that direction she was a heroine for a majority of the movie so she doesn't count as a Star Wars villain yet. Rian Johnson has already shown that he is willing to bring strong females into his films and I think he should definitely make another bold move by having an awesome female antagonist.
Of course, these are just theories. I have no clue what the Rian Johnson trilogy is going to be about or exactly when we'll get to see these movies (the first one is rumored to come out in 2020) but I do know this: Just the thought of a new Star Wars trilogy that's set to be outside the box from what we've seen before is exciting enough of a thought. I'm just hoping we get a little more knowledge about it during next year's Star Wars celebration.
I hope you've enjoyed reading these theories just as much as I've had fun concocting them and I thank you for reading. Have a splendid day and May the Force be with you.

For Tyeth says:
Hello Annlyel, if you check out Dark Horse Comics you will find the story of the Fel Empire. After the second (or maybe third, I lose count of them) Emperor is dispatched a Man named Roan Fel assume control of the galaxy from a planet named Bastion (formerly known as Corellia – yes, that Corellia). He forms an army of un-programed humanoid warriors and one particular squadron/battalion were known as the Imperial Knights. The Imperial Knights stood for all that was good and yes they carried a certain weapon….WHITE bladed lightsabers!
This story also led to the climax of the whole Star Wars Expanded Universe/Legends saga with a battle between Darth Krayt and Cade Skywalker.
Um…wow!!!! That sounds positively awesome! Woah, whether that storyline is introduced in the new trilogy or another movie I want to see a film based on that comic series. Wow.
Yes, it's fairly intense and is almost a stand alone but does have Cade Skywalker in. However even he is having doubts about the Light, the Dark, the Prophecies of the Jedi ….everything. I recommend getting hold of the comics/collection books if you can. A movie would also be cool!

New NWA program aims for healthier families
Alex Golden
Maura Losch/Axios
Community Clinic and the American Heart Association are launching a new program called Lifestyle Rx intended to help families live healthier lives.
Why it matters: Lifestyle changes like healthy eating and regular exercise are easier to stick to if the whole household is on board, and children are more likely to develop and keep healthy habits if their parents have healthy habits, Amanda Echegoyen, chief operating officer of Community Clinic, and Serena Munns, vice president of strategic relationships at the American Heart Association, tell Axios.
"A child cannot change behavior on their own. They need the parent to support them," Munns says.
How it works: Community Clinic will offer the program at three of its school-based health centers to target students and their families. It will focus on assessing overall health and "prescribing" specific lifestyle changes like yoga or nutrition recommendations such as a low-carb diet, Echegoyen tells Axios.
Lifestyle Rx can be used to manage health conditions like diabetes or for general, preventative health care.
Community Clinic will largely try to reach families through kids' annual well visits.
Families will receive free nutrition counseling, some local produce with recipes and access to patient navigators, who can help connect them to resources like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Between the lines: The program is being offered at schools with high poverty rates, including Jones Elementary and Parson Hills Elementary in Springdale and at Siloam Springs.
How it happened: The Walmart Foundation gave an 18-month, $250,000 grant to the American Heart Association to implement the program. The American Heart Association has helped start similar programs in other places across the country, Munns says.
The association and Community Clinic had an existing relationship. Lifestyle Rx was born out of conversations between the two organizations as well as other local leaders looking to identify the best ways to help NWA, Munns says.
What's next: The goal is to recruit 1,500 patients in the first 18 months and for the program to be permanent, Munns says.
Of note: Patients do not necessarily have to be affiliated with the schools to use the school-based health centers.

A big thank you to Darcy Clancy (from Odessa) who did the Clinic for us. He was also full of neat ideas for resolutions to thrush, scratches and rain rot. He went above and beyond just shoeing based on his experiences. Members and parents had an opportunity to ask all kind of questions that he had answers to. Darcy shoes horses for both standardbred race horses (sulky), riding horses, and horses showing at the Royal Winter Fair. He was a wealth of knowledge which benefited all who attended.

I do not understand where all my time goes. When I lived in Paris, I had lots of time for blogging. Now that we live in Blois, I don't seem to have any spare time at all! I do keep up with Loire Daily Photo though.
I have several posts in the making: Secret Blois, the arrival of our inlay marble table from India, flooding in the Loire, Montreuil Bellay …. but don't seem to be able to finish them.
We personally did not suffer from the flooding. There was a flash flood in our street but it disappeared within a couple of hours. There is still a lot of water on the low-lying areas around us and the mosquitos have arrived in droves.
Our roses were momentarily lovely but most have succombed to the rain. It seems to rain most days but tomorrow, the sun is supposed to come out and from a maximum of 20°C today it will be 30°C. We are hoping to go cycling. We should also mow the garden as everything is hopelessly overgrown.
We are currently debating about where to go on our next cycling holiday in 9 days time. We had thought of going to Saarland in Germany but it has also been flooded which means the bike paths will be a little worse for wear. At the moment, we think we'll go to the south of France – I have never been to either Marseilles or Toulon – then to the new bike path in Italy that goes from San Remo to San Lorenzo al Mare. We hadn't cycled in Italy until last year in Padua because 1) there are a large number of hills and 2) there are not a lot of bike paths but at least there is sun! Stay tuned.

Thank you, William, we love it!
We are thinking of visiting France again in mid July for a 3 or 4 months. Can you guarantee us some good weather?
I would LOVE to be able to guarantee some good weather but it doesn't seem very promising. There is a saying that if spring is rainy the summer will be poor as well. Let's hope it's wrong!
That table is far too fabulous to leave out in the elements!!!!!!!!!
Ah, you are not the only one to think so but it goes so perfectly with the surroundings and we have been guaranteed by the artisans that made it that it will stand up perfectly to the elements just as the same inlay work on the Taj Mahal has lasted through 400 monsoons.
And we'd love to see you!
Such lovely photos in this post, I want to comment on them all. So glad the table is safely installed. I can see you watching the birds and enjoying a glass of wine with friends.

Poker to Promos to Pro
I've now done a handful of these Betfair client profiles and I'm blown away by the recurring theme.
These guys are so young. And smart.
They've grasped opportunity where previously there was none. They use the nuances of Betfair and rapid-fire technology to their advantage. They "work'' relentless hours, glued to keyboards and TV's sometimes 24/7, but they're smart enough to plan ahead, re-work their time.
Most, like Andrew, have partners who, somehow, "get'' it.
These guys are the antithesis to the standard image of the punter. They're not old and ragged and desperate. They don't shoot off rent money on bad hunches. They are strategic.
And they've accumulated remarkable life stories.
Andrew wanders into a Broadbeach RSL dressed for the beach; pyjama-ish shorts, baseball cap and a youthful smile – and I can't help thinking of Ferris Bueller.
You listen to the life stories of guys like 31-year-old Andrew and you feel you've played a very conservative life hand.
He was the eldest of five kids born in Melbourne and brought up on a farm near Beaudesert. Most of his five siblings drifted into farm life – the youngest are still at school – but he drifted into the Gold Coast, into a lucrative but time-hogging mural art business that began in a mate's garage in his early twenties, then into a not-as-glamorous-as-it-sounds stint playing professional poker in his late teens and early twenties.
Some bloke at a poker table alerted me to Betfair a few years ago and "the mathematics of it made sense,'' he said.
He found an edge in Bagging bonuses, then got a guilty conscience about it "because I didn't want to take advantage of people who were letting me on.''
Altruism is not a textbook trait of the punter, but Andrew is a well-rounded, interesting character. The dedicated punter, who now specialises in "trading'' on cricket and rugby league, once volunteered in the slums of Kolkata, helping feed the starving. He stopped betting on horse racing, mostly because he was "average at it'' but deep down there is a hate for the way some treat their horses, "you're better off focusing on trading something you enjoy."
Get a real job
He posts both his wins and losses on a personal blog and twitter account, because "I want others to become better punters. I also want them being in the game, of course, betting with me and against me.''
Andrew met the saintly Bec out the front of some Gold Coast nightclub seven years ago when one of his mates was doing something "gross'', and he – doing his goofy/charming Ferris Bueller thing – declared "hey, you're a glamour'' and they've somehow remained together ever since.
Only on a handful of occasions has Bec doubted the legitimacy of her future husband's chosen career, one his farming family still can't get its head around.
"They're always baiting me to "get a real job'' and it took Bec a while to understand that doing what I do is a "real'' thing.''
He rides the waves with his punting mate "Angry Ray'' who was despatched to Andrew a few days earlier by Ray's wife because "he was having a losing run on the punt and needed a freshen up.''
"Angry Ray'', by the way, is a pseudonym. He's occasionally angry but his name's not Ray.
"I don't think anyone really knows his name. He's an enigma. I met him online. This can be a lonely lifestyle sometimes and a lot of the people you become friends with are in blogs and social media. But I became proper friends with "Ray''.
Andrew was a successful poker player, attending the 2014 WSOP in Vegas, where "I played bloody great, but nothing went my way'' and was assured by a hard-marking poker guru that he was one of the very few who had the skill and instinct to make a good living out of it.
The "vibe'' is one of his life and gambling philosophies. "If you're not feeling it, don't play. Harry Findlay coined the term "brain damage," a self-fulfilling prophecy. You're no good to yourself if it's just not happening,'' he said.
Early days, when Bec was still dubious, Andrew took her to dinner with one of the other few local "cash game grinders" Greg, who was his Poker mentor. "Bec met his wife and kids, got an understanding of what we did, and then she understood that it (gambling for a living) can be a real job.''
And profitable. If you're young. And smart.
Never fear Failure
Andrew has been clearing over $100,000 a year trading on domestically-played cricket and Rugby League.
He learned the hard way that staying up all night to "trade'' on international games was killing his profits because he was too tired to function properly. And it was driving Bec nuts.
On one occasion he was watching two games at once and accidently plonked six-grand on the wrong $1.01 pop.
"I went berserk, swearing, chucking stuff at the TV. It's one of the few times Bec panicked about what I was doing. I came out of my dungeon. She was visibly worried. "Have we lost the house??'' "Six thousand, oh that's nothing" she replied after hearing the finer details. Bec just might be the perfect 'yin' to a professional gambler's 'yang'.
Andrew sees his current life as transitional. His young mind is always in overdrive. He's not afraid to try and fail. "Never fear failure or you'll never do anything,'' he says.
He veered off into cryptocurrency some time back and almost imported the first crypto ATM to Sydney's Mascot airport, but he couldn't risk stumping up the $20,000. If he had, he'd now be loaded.
Andrew spent that same amount on creating a crypto hedge fund, an Australian first, only for it to fail "because of political interference.''
He and Bec have a dog and one day the dog will take a back seat to a kid as Andrew's very interesting life inevitably becomes a bit more mainstream. Perhaps.
He enjoys finding an edge – he says women's cricket has been lucrative for him – but knows that edges don't last forever as others cotton on and gambling regulations close in.
"If I start losing money, I guess I'll go out and get a real job,'' he says.

I can remember going through a phase, shortly after getting my driver's license as a teenager, where I had more key chains than actual keys on my key ring. As if that wasn't enough, my car was decked out with pink fuzzy dice that hung from the rear view mirror and my dashboard sported a hula dancer. Thinking of it makes me laugh now, but I can still remember the excitement of being able to drive my own car for the first time. Needless to say, a lot has changed since then, including my key chain collection and thankfully my car.
Anyways, for this DIY I decided to experiment with leather and came up with these painted leather key chains. Leather is surprisingly easy to work with and I was able to make both key chains in about 30 minutes. This project would be perfect for quick holiday gifts for friends and family and it can easily be customized by substituting colored leather or by painting different designs other than the geometric/striped design I used here. How cute would monogrammed key chains be?
2. Next, fold the leather strip around the key ring and using a pen, mark where the rivets will be placed: one near the base of the key ring and one at the opposite end.
3. Using the rivet setter, punch two holes in the leather strip using your pen marks as a guide. To determine what size holes to make, look at the base of your rivets and choose a setting approximately the same diameter.
4. Fold the leather strip in half again and use the two existing holes as a guide for where the second set of holes should be on the other side of the leather strip. Mark the leather and punch two more holes, making sure that the holes line up when the leather strip is folded in half. When you're finished it should look like picture 4 shown below.
5 & 6. Folding the strip in half, place a rivet through the first set of holes and snap the back into place.
8. Finally, add a key ring and you're good to go! Although the paint is optional, I highly suggest adding a fun design using acrylic paint. I found it easiest to work in layers, since the leather tends to absorb some of the paint. For the neon yellow and pink, I diluted a small amount of paint with water to create a "base" for my design. Once that dried, I added a few coats of regular paint on top to brighten things up. The metallic paint seemed to cover the leather more easily, so I went ahead and started painting without diluting it first.

The HP was a British three-wheeled cyclecar made from 1926 to 1928 by Hilton-Peacey (possibly Pacey) Motors of Woking, Surrey.
Most cars used an air-cooled 500 cc single-cylinder JAP engine but one had a larger 600 cc version and another two 500 cc Dunelt 2 strokes and three 500 cc Vulpine overhead valve engines. The drive was by chain to a Sturmey-Archer three-speed transmission and then a further long chain to the single rear wheel. Several of the components including front axles were bought from the Blériot-Whippet company which had closed down. Hilton-Peacey Motors also offered to supply spares to Blériot-Whippet owners.
The body was made largely of plywood covered in fabric. The chassis was made of laminated ash and the front axle was carried on quarter elliptic leaf springs. To simplify the transmission the back wheel was unsprung.
Four people were employed including Hilton Skinner and Bob Peacey and about 40 cars were made. They sold for £65.
All the locals are keeping their people close to home, including the district HPs, trying to cover the schools.
One powerful arm left her to sweep cushions from the chairs onto the floor, then Deymio's large body pressed her back into pillows and fur alike, hps following fingers in exploration, finding the pulse at the base of her throat and lower.
As he attempted to sit up, she leaned forward and her soft Hps met his.

Resident Asher Munderloh, 9, plays with his new remote control car outside Mile High Ministries Joshua Station. The converted hotel provides housing to Ministry clients living in extreme poverty and will begin begin renovations thanks to $35,000 from the Boettcher Foundation.
Kids Club night at the Joshua Station transitional housing complex can be a hectic event that sometimes sees nearly 50 kids pile into a converted hotel room to do activities.
Jodi Henni has two children, younger than 10, who participate in Kids Club and said it can be tough to focus. The family has lived at Joshua Station for about a year.
"It's hard for them, it's just chaos," Henni said.
But things are about to change at the facility that helps homeless families transition from the street to stable living environments as $356,000 in renovations will bring along a new kids programming area about 10 times the size of the current space.
The renovation of the facility, which is an old hotel at 2330 W. Mulberry Place, near Interstate 25 and Eighth Avenue, will provide better office arrangement for employees and the space to add more bilingual staff when funding is available. And it will also build out a basement space in the adjacent Mile High Ministries building for the 48 children who live at Joshua Station and nearly 75 that use its programming.
"We believe focusing on the kids here is going to have a really far-reaching impact into adulthood and break the cycle of poverty that their parents have unfortunately experienced as adults," said Kelsey Winters, development director for Joshua Station.
The construction has already started and should take about three months.
Joshua Station is part of the nonprofit Mile High Ministries, which converted the old hotel into living spaces in 2001. Until now, all offices and public spaces had mostly been converted from old hotel rooms, none of which are large. The work will also allow the facility to get back to a capacity of 30 families. Currently, 23 families live on site.
Intern Melissa Hansen works in a temporary office in the community room at Mile High MinistriesÕ Joshua Station.
Joshua Station executive director Amy Jackson is excited for the changes and noted how much it will help the nonprofit's children's programming. The facility will have new programming centered around the larger space.
Henni is excited for the changes and believes her children will thrive in the new area.
"They'll actually have a concept of what is there and what is expected," Henni said.
Joshua Station raised the money necessary for the renovations and got help from private donors and organizations such as the Coors Foundation and the Boettcher Foundation.
Boettcher gave $35,000 to Joshua Station as part of its social service grants for 2016. The organization gave $840,000 to 16 different organizations for capital improvement projects.
This is the second time the foundation has given money to help fund improvements at Joshua Station. The $35,000 will go toward the kids programming center.
Joshua Station opens its doors to families who have children who are experiencing homelessness. Most residents stay for two years and form a plan to obtain long-term housing while living there. Winters said she feels meeting the needs of homeless families has been lacking in Denver and Mile High Ministries helps in that capacity.
"We feel we fit into that niche and it's one that not everyone is able to accommodate," she said.

Very fresh swordfish, sliced, with as much of the dark red portions of meat removed as possible.
Cook with heat (à la meunière, as teriyaki, by boiling, etc) and enjoy.
Each package is 130g (2 slices) and arrives frozen.
Sugarlady's seafood is caught in season and processed right away, ensuring that you always receive the highest possible freshness and flavor.

Zena Holloway's Style
Zena was hooked on the magic of the ocean and underworld from a young age. Throughout her life, she has refined an ultra-niche profession, carving out her path and creating her own magical, underwater settings. Her images capture the deep and often complex subconscious connections we have to oceans, lakes and waterways, with ominous figures emerging from within alluring dreamlike scenes.
Zena continues to be commissioned for global advertising campaigns and, when not on commission, creates self-funded projects promoting environmental awareness and conservation. In the same vein, her recent exhibitions in Korea and Sweden have highlighted environmental concepts that focus on pollution and loss of biodiversity in rivers. Zena was Underwater Photographer of the Year (2020) in the UK. She also recently took home the award for Nudes at the Photoshoot Awards, Italy (2020).


How could a "tax receipt" foster a smarter budget debate?
As the "Ides of April" looms, Americans are preparing their tax returns against the backdrop of a particularly vitriolic fight over the federal budget.
Indeed, Washington is so divided that the country faces the specter of a partial government shutdown if an agreement over the 2011 budget is not hashed out by Friday, April 8. In addition, the need to agree on a budget for the 2012 fiscal year, as well as the wrangling that will accompany the need to raise the debt ceiling in the coming months, will ensure that the high-intensity, high-stakes debate over Washington's budget will dominate the political agenda for the foreseeable future.
While the outcomes of these various budget fights are as yet unknown, what is clear is that many Americans hold wildly inaccurate beliefs about how their tax dollars are spent — and politicians are self-servingly perpetuating and taking advantage of this confusion. To a substantial degree, this is to blame for the drawn out, overly divisive and misinformed budget debate.
For example, in a November 2010 poll conducted by the University of Maryland, the median estimate of the share of the federal budget that goes to foreign aid was 25% — off by a factor of 42 from the actual figure of 0.6%. Perhaps not coincidentally, when asked where the budget should be cut, this is the only area most Americans agree should get the axe.
To take another example, a CNN poll released on April 1 found that the median guess as to what share of the government's budget goes to public broadcasting is 5%. As Talking Points Memo notes, this is 424 times higher than the actual figure.
Illustrating similar confusion about the way Washington spends Americans' tax dollars, a March 2011 Pew Research Center poll found that 86% of Americans believe that reducing the budget deficit is either a "top priority" or an "important, but lower priority." However, 65% of respondents oppose making changes to Medicare and Social Security as a way to reduce the deficit. This is despite the fact that these two programs together account for one-third of all federal spending and are the major drivers of the United States' long-term debt problem (along with Medicaid).
Likewise, 67% of respondents oppose increasing taxes — suggesting that when it comes to reducing the deficit, Americans want to have their cake (receive generous government benefits) and eat it too (continue to pay low taxes). Ultimately, however, the country has no choice but to embrace spending cuts and tax increases in the coming years to get the United States' fiscal house in order.
By and large, politicians are eager to exploit and perpetuate such misunderstandings about the budget, as this makes it easier for them to carry out their ideological agendas and avoid the hard choices that must eventually be made.
Witness how self-styled deficit hawks tend to focus on insignificant cuts to minor programs — Republicans' ideologically driven quest to defund National Public Radio being a prime example — instead of proposing cuts to popular yet expensive entitlements like Social Security and Medicare, or to the massive defense budget.
To the extent that policymakers are willing to make significant deficit reductions, they pander to Americans' aversion to tax increases by focusing solely on the spending side of the equation. This is illustrated by Representative Paul Ryan's 2012 budget proposal, which calls for radical cuts to major government programs like Medicare and Medicaid instead of acknowledging the imperative to balance spending cuts with tax increases.
In fact, the Wisconsin Republican's proposal actually lowers taxes on the wealthy and corporations — a questionable way to reduce the deficit.
In the end, such ideological rigidity — combined with an unwillingness to level with the American people about the need for spending cuts as well as tax increases — makes the political atmosphere inhospitable to sensible policymaking.
How best to ensure that Americans have a clear idea of just what it is they are getting when they pay their taxes each year — thereby better enabling them to hold their politicians accountable for reducing the deficit responsibly and contributing to a more intelligent budget debate?
The tax returns that Americans are busily preparing are the key to the solution. Third Way, a Washington-based think tank that focuses on moderate solutions to divisive issues, advocates that every American who files a tax return receives a "tax receipt." This itemized list would be emailed or "snail mailed" by the government to each taxpayer and provide her with a precise accounting of how her tax dollars are spent.
Armed with such a tax receipt, the average taxpayer would be more skeptical when his congresswoman advocates cutting foreign aid and other forms of discretionary spending, such as outlays on education, environmental protection and infrastructure, as serious solutions to the deficit problem.
He might also find it puzzling that there is only limited discussion of cutting the defense budget, despite the fact that over one-fifth of his tax dollars went to the Pentagon last year.
The taxpayer would also realize that outlays on Medicare and Social Security are so large that any serious debt-reduction proposal must simultaneously reign in spending on these crucial entitlements as well as increase taxes in order to avoid massive benefit cuts.
Would this simple reform be a panacea? Of course not. It will take much more to overcome the deep-seated structural issues that make U.S. political discourse so dysfunctional.
But ultimately, providing each taxpayer with a clear picture of how his or her tax dollars are spent has the potential to limit the degree to which future budget discussions fall prey to the bitter partisanship and sheer cynicism that are distorting the current budget debate, bringing America perilously close to a government shutdown and preventing our leaders from agreeing upon smart ways to reduce the deficit.

'Pick up the pace' – a comprehensive audit of skills and educational attainment across Britain – shows that the profile of Britain's workforce has completely transformed over the last 25 years. As recently as 1996-98, the most common qualification level for a UK worker was no higher than GCSEs.
The Foundation warns that the even bigger problem facing Britain as it approaches "Brexit" has been the slowdown on education attainment growth since the mid-2000s. Between 1997 and 2003, the number of young people with degrees increased 1.8 percentage points a year. However, since 2004 this growth has halved to just 0.9 percentage points.
Firms in migrant reliant sectors with skills shortages, like hospitality and construction, should also prepare for the move to a stricter migration scheme post-"Brexit" by doing more to upskill existing workers. This should include offering greater training opportunities for young people via apprenticeships and other level 4 qualifications.


Orthodontics are about far more than just aesthetics. Sure, you want your smile to be straight and perfect because it will make you look better, but aligned teeth and a proper bite also give you a healthier smile. Traditional metal braces and Invisalign® are two effective and proven options for straightening your smile.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an initial orthodontic evaluation at the first sign of orthodontic problems, but no later than 7 years of age. This early check-up allows a dentist or orthodontist to evaluate your child's bite and how his or her teeth are developing. Major alignment issues can be addressed sooner rather than later – and sometimes this might even free an adolescent from having to wear braces when they get a little older.
While plenty of people believe that they don't need an aligned smile to succeed in life or to be happy, it's amazing how transformative a straight smile can actually be. Besides the obvious aesthetic benefits, an aligned smile helps you eat better, digest your food better, speak better, and be pain-free. Plus, it's much easier to clean aligned teeth, and that means a lower risk of tooth decay or gum disease.
When your teeth are misaligned, this can lead to major oral health complications, and your teeth will be unable to perform their vital functions. Teeth should easily fit within the confines of your mouth without being twisted and without any spacing or crowding problems.
There is no rule that says braces are reserved for adolescents as a mortifying rite of passage. While being a "brace face" or "metal mouth" at any age is understandably undesirable, braces don't have to be embarrassing. As a professional adult, an aligned smile can catapult you to a new level, improving your self-confidence, appearance, and speech.
While some adults do opt for or require traditional metal braces to align their teeth, Invisalign® is the modern innovation that has opened up the possibility of having straight teeth to people who will never agree to metal brackets or wires on their teeth. Invisalign® isn't the "easy" way to get braces – this method of orthodontics certainly requires its own level of dedication – but Invisalign® is more appealing to adults because of its flexibility, particularly the ability to remove the clear aligners to eat and clean your teeth.
In some cases, traditional metal braces will be the best option for tooth alignment. In other situations, Invisalign® will get the job done. Both types of orthodontia are effective and powerful in straightening a smile, but not every person is eligible for both options – your dentist will tell you what's possible and what will be best for your oral health.
Learn more about Invisalign® and make an appointment with Dr. Shaista Najmi to discuss the orthodontic options for your child or yourself.
