Juliette Nesville was the stage name of Juliette-Hortense Lesne (30 July 1869 – 26 July 1900), a French singer and actress in operetta and musicals, who made most of her short career in London, after early success in Paris and Brussels.

After training at the Paris Conservatoire Nesville appeared in opéras comiques by Paul Lacôme, Robert Planquette, Edmond Audran and Charles Lecocq in 1890. After a highly successful appearance in the Brussels production of Audran's Miss Helyett she was engaged by the English manager Charles Wyndham in 1891 to play the part in London. She then appeared for George Edwardes in a succession of West End musical comedies during the rest of the decade, interspersed with two non-musical plays for other managements. She died in Paris after a short illness while appearing there in 1900, aged thirty.

Life and career

Nesville was born in Paris, daughter of the proprietor of the Café de la Paix. Her parents had strict religious views, and she was educated in convent schools, first in France and, from the age of about twelve to fifteen, in England, by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur at Clapham. After her return to France she was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire, and while still a student there she was selected to play the small role of Loys, the page boy, in a revival of Jules Barbier's play Jeanne d'Arc, starring Sarah Bernhardt, at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin, Paris. The incidental music, by Charles Gounod, included a ballade for Loys, "Qui de nous ne connait ces vers mouillés de larmes". The composer heard several Conservatoire students sing it, including two future operatic stars, Lucienne Bréval and Lina Pacary, and recommended Nesville for the part. Her performance won praise. She requested and was given permission to leave the Conservatoire to create the title role in Paul Lacôme's opéra comique Ma mie Rosette at the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques, Paris, on 4 February 1890. The piece ran for only 41 performances, but she made a great impression, and appeared at the same theatre during 1890, starring in three revivals – as Nelly in Robert Planquette's opéra comique Rip, Azurine in a revival of Paul Lacôme's La Fille de l'air and Rosita in Edmond Audran's Gillette de Narbonne – and creating the role of Djemileh in Charles Lecocq's opérette L'égyptienne.

Nesville's success in Paris led the director of the Théâtre Royal des Galeries in Brussels to engage her to play the title role in Audran's Miss Helyett. In the words of the magazine The Theatre, "she took the town by storm". The English actor-manager Charles Wyndham saw her in the piece and engaged her for its forthcoming production in London. It opened at the Criterion Theatre in July 1891, under the title Miss Decima; the book was adapted by F. C. Burnand and the lyrics were adapted by Percy Reeve. The piece was well received, and Nesville's notices were highly complimentary: "positively captivated the audience … one of the brightest, prettiest and most refined French artists we have seen".

In November 1891 Nesville married an Englishman, James Jeffrey Cooke. Their London residence was in Bloomsbury; she maintained a home in France at Le Vésinet. She said later in the decade that she thought of herself as an Englishwoman.

Nesville had a succession of roles in London productions of the 1890s. In 1892 and into 1893 she starred in the English adaptation of Ma mie Rosette, which did far better at the box-office than the original French production had done. From reviewers there was much praise for her acting and charm, and on the whole for her singing, although the critic in The Pall Mall Gazette thought that nature did not intend her to be a singer. She returned to the Criterion in to play Clairette in La fille de Madame Angot and was then engaged by George Edwardes to play Mina, the French maid, in A Gaiety Girl (1893).

In 1894 Nesville appeared with the Gaiety Girl company in New York and then toured the US; on her return to England she played her first non-musical role, Sally Lebrune, in Henry Arthur Jones's The Triumph of the Philistines, which George Alexander produced at the St James's Theatre in 1895. The critic of London Society dismissed the play but judged Nesville – "a really excellent actress" – its only redeeming feature. In the same year Nesville took over the role of Madame Amélie in An Artist's Model at Daly's Theatre. That was another Edwardes musical comedy, as was the long-running The Geisha (1896), in which she played Juliette Diamant. Illness obliged her to leave the cast for a while during the run, but she recovered so well that on her return she managed the unusual feat of playing in two different West End productions at the same time. While playing Juliette Diamant at Daly's she also played Gilberte Picard, a French singer, in the farce My Friend the Prince at the Garrick Theatre. She told an interviewer that she found it "rather good fun, but awful hard work: it leaves you little time to get out of one stage costume into another, and then back to the first theatre again."

Another American trip took place in 1897. After a two-week try-out at the Garrick, Edwardes sent a company to New York to play In Town; Nesville's colleagues in the company included W. Louis Bradfield and Marie Studholme. Nesville's role, Juliette Breville, was an addition to the original version, written specifically for her. She remained in New York to repeat her role of Sally Lebrune, in The Triumph of the Philistines. The Geisha was still running in London when she returned, and she rejoined the cast. She spent much of 1898 in a succession of engagements at the Alhambra music hall in Leicester Square, singing selections from the shows in which she had appeared. In May 1899 she was engaged to return to Paris, singing in a revival of Le voyage de Corbillon at the Folies-Dramatiques, and creating the role of Nina in a new "vaudeville-opérette", Madame Pistache. Les Annales du théâtre et de la musique thought her the best thing about the production. Back in London in September she created her last West End role, a French maid, in a new farce, The Elixir of Youth: "no more roguish, mischievous little cocquette has been seen for a long time on the stage than Miss Juliette Nesville's Suzette", commented The Era.

In July 1900 Nesville was in Paris to play the role of the Prince in Ernest Gillet's opéra bouffe Mariage princier, when she was taken ill. She died a few days later, aged thirty, and was buried at Le Vesinet.

Statutes of Limitation in the Land of Enchantment
in Daily Dose, Featured, Loss Mitigation, Print Features December 9, 2021	4,776 Views
The New Mexico Court of Appeals recently concluded that a foreclosure action was not barred by the statute of limitation where a borrower made good faith payments and acknowledged the underlying debt in a signed affidavit. Although the case was unpublished, the detailed opinion by the appellate court provides an excellent framework for future statute of limitation cases. Notably, the facts of the case involved a borrower's signed forbearance agreement, something the mortgage default industry will likely see more of in the coming years.
Relying upon out-of-state authority well-known to the default mortgage industry (including: Singleton v. Greymar Associates,
U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n v. Bartram, and Star Funding Sols., LLC v. Krondes), the New Mexico District Court previously rejected arguments that partial payments had reset the statute of limitations and that a voluntary dismissal had decelerated the loan. On appeal, our firm argued that forbearance payments and acknowledgment of the debt revived the statutes of limitation, that a previous lawsuit tolled the statutes of limitation, and that the dismissal of the previous foreclosure decelerated the loan, collectively resetting the statutes of limitation clock. In a detailed opinion wherein the court reviewed statutory construction and application, the New Mexico Court of Appeals ultimately concurred with our firm's briefing that the payments should have revived the debt and therefore reversed the lower court's previous dismissal.
There were two separate statutes of limitation being argued in the case. The borrower alleged the judicial foreclosure action should be barred by the statutes of limitation in Section 55-3-118, whereas the bank asserted that Section 37-1-3 should govern. After thoroughly dissecting the legislative intent and applicability of both statutes, the Court of Appeals ultimately sided with the bank and followed a recent trend of New Mexico cases that have applied the six-year statutes of limitation provided in Section 37-1-3 to judicial foreclosure actions. This determination was crucial to the outcome of the case since Section 37 has a revival provision. The District Court previously rejected the bank's arguments that the borrower's payments made pursuant to a written forbearance agreement along with the borrower's written acknowledgment of the debt had revived the debt. Having determined that Section 37-1-3 applied to foreclosure actions, the Court of Appeals disagreed with the District Court's ruling and found that the borrower's voluntary payment had revived the bank's cause of action.
The revival provision under Section 37-1-16 was previously analyzed by the New Mexico Court of Appeals in Corona v. Corona, where the court discussed how a partial payment of a debt "will renew a barred debt when such payment is made under circumstances that warrant a clear inference that the debtor acknowledges and is willing to pay a further indebtedness." The bank argued that the series of forbearance payments made along with the borrower's written acknowledgment of the debt in a signed affidavit revived the debt and therefore the subsequent judicia foreclosure should not have been barred by the statute of limitations. Separately, the borrower argued that the payments made could not have revived the debt since they were made in connection with the forbearance agreement and not the underlying note. Upon review, the Court of Appeals ruled that there was "no material distinction between payments applied to delinquent amounts owed on the debt and payments applied to the principle and interest; in either case the payments were applied to the debt created by the promissory note." Having concluded that the partial payments reset the statute of limitation, the Court of Appeals chose not to opine on the remaining tolling and deceleration arguments that had been fully briefed since the statutes of limitation were no longer an issue.
This case provides further justification for Section 37-1-3 along with the accompanying revival provision under Section 37-1-16 to be used as the controlling statute in New Mexico judicial foreclosure cases dealing with statute of limitation issues. Additionally, it should help to further encourage loss mitigation activity by providing lenders with assurances that certain foreclosure prevention alternatives like forbearance agreements can be tollable and potentially even reset the statute of limitation clock if the loss mitigation efforts are unsuccessful.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an immune-mediated disease. The autoreactive T cells in T1D patients attack and destroy their own pancreatic cells. In order to systematically investigate the potential autoreactive T cell receptors (TCRs), we used a high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing technique to profile the spectrum of TCRs in individual T1D patients and controls. We sequenced the T cell repertoire of nine T1D patients, four type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, and six nondiabetic controls. The diversity of the T cell repertoire in T1D patients was significantly decreased in comparison with T2D patients (P=7.0E-08 for CD4+ T cells, P=1.4E-04 for CD8+ T cells) and nondiabetic controls (P=2.7E-09 for CD4+ T cells, P=7.6E-06 for CD8+ T cells). Moreover, T1D patients had significantly more highly-expanded T cell clones than T2D patients (P=5.2E-06 for CD4+ T cells, P=1.9E-07 for CD8+ T cells) and nondiabetic controls (P=1.7E-07 for CD4+ T cells, P=3.3E-03 for CD8+ T cells). Furthermore, we identified a group of highly-expanded T cell receptor clones that are shared by more than two T1D patients. Although further validation in larger cohorts is needed, our data suggest that T cell receptor diversity measurements may become a valuable tool in investigating diabetes, such as using the diversity as an index to distinguish different types of diabetes.

Enes Kanter Changing Last Name To 'Freedom' And Becomes US Citizen Monday, Report Says
November 28, 2021Written by Latoya L. Pace
Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter legally changes its name to "Enes Kanter Freedom", according to Athletic's Shams Charania. Kanter will be his new middle name, with Freedom as the new last name, which should eventually be the name that appears on his shirts. Kanter, who grew up in Turkey, will also become a U.S. citizen on Monday, according to Charania.
Kanter has spoken out on social issues this season, especially when it comes to the NBA's relationship with China. He criticized several important figures in the league, including LeBron James, for his inaction on issues relating to China as well as James' reluctance to publicly defend the COVID-19 vaccine. In the past, Kanter has also been a vocal critic of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Several arrest warrants against Kanter have been issued in Turkey in connection with this criticism, but US citizenship gives him another layer of protection to speak out.
Kanter is not the first NBA player to change his name in this affair. Notably, Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace during his career, and then-Warriors wing Lloyd Bernard Free changed his name to World B. Free in 1981. Kanter wore the word "Freedom" on the back. of his jersey in the Orlando bubble in 2020, when players were allowed to wear social justice messages on their jerseys. Now that will apparently be a permanent change.
Kanter hasn't played much this season. He averaged just 4.2 points in 11.2 minutes per game for a Celtics team that prioritized other players ahead of him. That hasn't stopped him from using his platform as an NBA player to talk about issues that interest him, and with this name change, it doesn't look like he's planning to quit anytime soon.

According to this week's market reports, Brooklyn registered the most complaints over rat infestation in 2017 and median rents for Manhattan two-bedrooms rose by 1 percent.
Brooklyn is the most rat-infested borough in New York City. In 2017, the area registered 7,253 rodent complaints, higher than the 4,507 in Manhattan and more than one-third of the 19,152 total complaints in the city. Bedford-Stuyvesant, Harlem and the Upper West Side were the neighborhoods with the most complaints. Meanwhile, the buildings with the highest number of complaints were 1800 Popham Avenue in the Bronx, 407 Lincoln Place in Prospect Heights and 43 Sheffield Avenue in East New York. Read the report here.
The median rent for a two-bedroom in Manhattan stood at $2,491 for the year ending June 1. This represents a 1 percent increase from $2,466 in 2017. The figure lags behind the national rent growth of 1.5 percent year-on-year. The city that posted the highest rent increase was Tampa, which registered a 4.6 percent hike to $1,243. Read the report here.
There were 24 contracts that were signed in Manhattan at $4 million and above between June 11 and 17. The total includes eight properties that breached the $10 million mark. The top contract for the week was PH2003 at 1 Central Park South, which was sold with a last asking price of $33.95 million. The second most expensive contract was for the 11th floor of 810 Fifth Avenue, which changed hands with a last asking price of $22 million. Read the report here.
Almost two-thirds of all community hospitals are in urban areas. Since 2010, 80 rural hospitals, most of which are in states with the nation's highest poverty rates, have closed down due to lack of funding. The gap between the haves and the have-nots is expected to change as health care providers deal with their real estate. One of the changes the report predicts is that medical firms will become more like retailers, with their decisions being influenced by metrics such as traffic counts and competition.

Sounds like ice cream, but nicer. Full of fruit and 100% rye it does not rise a lot, but it is a really tasty little loaf. A different method from my usual. I opted for sultanas and used a different rye flour too, so it was not as dark as the previous loaves I made. Really good with cheddar, blue cheese or just butter.
Wet mix. Mix 150g rye flour, 100g starter and 200ml water in the morning. Put a plate over it and let it stand all day, at least 12 hours to bubble. I used a glass bowl. It does not build in volume, but you can see the bubbles from the side.
Oven to 220C with fan and with a roasting pan in the bottom. Put in the loaf and pour a cup of hot water or 6 big ice cubes into the roasting pan. After 10 minutes, lower the heat to 200C and bake another 20-30 minutes. It makes quite a nice chewy crust too.
There was a beautiful moon out there last night.

Oil and Gas Exploration in Israel October 16, 2019
Israel's "Oil Rush"
Israel is currently undergoing an oil and gas exploration boom. Recently, Israel has seen some of the world's largest discoveries of gas and oil. These new oil and gas discoveries have jumpstarted significant foreign investment into drilling and exploration rights. The most recent discovery in December 2010 named Leviathan was the world's largest discovery of natural gas in a decade. It is projected to have 16 trillion cubic feet of gas at a market value of $90 billion. Many experts believe there could be more than 4 billion barrels of crude oil below these natural gas deposits. Israel's infrastructure minister called this discovery "the most important energy news since the founding of the state."
The Leviathan discovery came just a year after the Tamar discovery, which was the world's largest natural gas discovery in 2009. Discovered in January 2009, Tamar has an estimated 8.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Tamar is expected to begin production in 2012.
With recent advances in energy technology, oil reserves which were previously inaccessible and too expensive to extract are now being able to be developed. Zion Oil & Gas recently announced its interest in developing a large shale oil deposit 30 miles west of Jerusalem. These deposits comprise the 3rd largest shale oil reserve in the world and expect to yield 250-500 billion barrels of oil. Many experts believe that Israel has a volume of oil in this reserve and other undiscovered shale oil reserves equivalent to that of Saudi Arabia.
With these 2 discoveries preceded by smaller significant natural gas discoveries, Israel is seeing new entrants into its oil and gas industry. Noble Energy, which has significant ownership in the Leviathan and Tamar fields has the largest footprint in Israel. ATP Oil & Gas Corporation and Caspian Drilling Company, a subsidiary of State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR), one of the world's largest oil companies are both currently operating in Israel. Other oil and gas companies with smaller operations have started to come such as: GeoGlobal Resources, Transocean, Baker Hughes and Halliburton. However, most of the larger global oil and gas corporations (Shell, Exxon-Mobil etc) have stayed away. Former Petroleum Supervisor, Dr. Yaakov Mimran said this was due to the fact that those global oil companies would lose oil suppliers in countries hostile to Israel (70% of the world's oil are located in such countries.) This gives more opportunity for lesser known and smaller firms like Noble and ATP to succeed in a country that is just beginning to see a huge "oil rush."
The Laws Governing the Israeli Oil and Gas Industry
The laws that apply to the oil and gas industry in Israel are found in the Israel Petroleum Law (1952) and subsequent amendments and regulations. This law has been largely unchanged in its almost 60 year history. The competent authority that grants licenses is, in most cases, the Ministry of National Infrastructure while applications for petroleum rights are submitted to the Petroleum Commissioner.
The Law provides 3 types of rights, 2 relevant to the exploration stage (including preliminary investigations, except for test drilling), and 1 for the production phase. The rights that a license confers upon the licensee are as follows: the right to explore for petroleum in a certain area (this puts the licensee in the position of a holder of a preliminary permit) and the exclusive right to conduct test or development drilling in the area and to produce petroleum there from. License must be obtained prior to drilling.
Licenses are granted subject to demonstrating capabilities such as financing ability, experience and reputation. Given the recent developments, Israel has been more stringent in what companies it gives licensing rights to, given the rapid increase in applications.
Dardik Gross & Co. Law Firm
Dardik Gross & Co has significant knowledge and advisory experience in obtaining licenses and permits for drilling and exploration rights in Israel. DG can coordinate with the Ministry and Petroleum Commissioner and handle all regulatory issues and negotiations. Further, DG can obtain work permits for foreign workers employed in drilling and exploration, which is a significant part of the oil and gas process. DG will contact the proper authorities to ensure the fastest most efficient route to taking advantage of the immense oil and gas that Israel offers.

Atsuko Tanaka, (born Feb. 10, 1932, Osaka, Japan—died Dec. 3, 2005, near Nara, Japan), Japanese artist who , was a leading avante-garde artist, best known for her experimental works of the 1950s and '60s. Tanaka was an early member of Gutai, a radical group of Osaka-based artists founded in 1954. Many of Tanaka's works involved electric light, the most famous of which, Electric Dress (1956), was made entirely of coloured light bulbs, cords, and fluorescent tubes that she wore as a dress during performances. She held her first solo exhibition in Osaka in 1963. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City featured some of Tanaka's works in a 1966 exhibition entitled "The New Japanese Painting and Sculpture." In later years she focused primarily on abstract paintings and drawings. Several retrospectives devoted to the work of Tanaka were held in Japan and the U.S. in the early 21st century.

This year belongs to bezel-less smartphones with an indented screen. We have met this treatment with the launch of the iPhone X. Now the first smartphone of Nokia, and more specifically HMD Global, from the X series will join this group. This is of course Nokia X6, which was officially presented to the world today.
Nokia X6 is not a top-flight smartphone, but it fits in perfectly with today's trends. We are dealing here with a medium shelf device, which is inexpensive and has a 5.8" screen, slender frames, a glass case and a double camera. However, inside is Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 (octa-core Kryo 260 1.8 GHz), which is slower than flagship chipsets, but should be sufficiently efficient in carrying out everyday tasks. The specification for wireless technologies is also somewhat poor.
Unfortunately, HMD Global has decided to save on solutions related to wireless data transmission. The SoC used has a Snapdragon X12 modem, which is category 12, i.e. it can aggregate 3 frequency bands and supports modulation of 256 QAM. So it is ideal for LTE-Advanced networks operating in European countrie. Unfortunately, Nokia X6 has been deprived of these functionalities. HMD Global has reduced the capabilities of the LTE modem to category 4, which does not support bandwidth aggregation. It is a pity that the Nokia X6 for mobile Internet is just as fast as the Nokia 3310 LTE, or old Samsung Galaxy S4 mini.
Fortunately, these restrictions do not apply to other wireless technologies. Nokia X6 supports Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac (version without MIMO) with a maximum speed of 384 Mbps. The advantages of the new Nokia can certainly include a battery with a capacity of 3 060 mAh, which can be charged using the quick charging method Quick Charge 3.0. According to the manufacturer, it allows you to charge half of the battery in just 30 minutes.The display, which was mentioned earlier, displays the image with an aspect ratio of 19: 9 in FHD + resolution (1080 x 2280 pixels). Mobile photography fans should be satisfied with a shutter of 16 Mpix and f/2.0, which is supported by a monochromic sensor of 5 Mpix and f/2.2. Good image quality is to be provided by artificial intelligence algorithms that specialize in image processing.
Nokia X6 will be available in China in three variants. The weakest of them has 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. It was valued at 1 299 yuan (740 PLN net). However, the most powerful model (6GB / 64GB) already costs 1,699 yuan (PLN 965 net). The indirect variant (4GB / 64GB) is an expenditure of 1 449 yuan (825 PLN net). Of course, the Nokia X6 just like other HMD Global smartphones has a hybrid SIM slot, which can be used for the second operator card or expand the smartphone's swings using a microSD card.


At this time of year, I try to spend some time reflecting on significant moments in the past year and areas of focus for the upcoming year. Sometimes a single word comes to mind, and I take it on as my "theme" for the year. Currently, this word is opportunity.
This coming month of March will mark my second year working at the Mary Black Foundation. My time at the Foundation has truly been an incredible gift – an opportunity to continue serving the community of Spartanburg, which I have come to love. Specifically, I get to support the community in efforts that create greater opportunities for all people to be physically active and to access healthy foods.
The path to where I am now is a long one; briefly, I was born in Ecuador, moved to Kenya when I was six years old (I was a Brownie and Girl Scout in Kenya!), moved to Mexico when I was 12, moved back to Ecuador when I was 14, and moved to the United States when I was 18. I have been living in the United States since then and have been working in Spartanburg for a couple of years, after completing my master's degree at Clemson University. Go Tigers! These were some of the opportunities that built my character, courage, confidence, and ambition: being able to travel and go to international schools all over the world, to live in different cultures and learn to appreciate the beauty in differences, to go to college on a generous full ride scholarship, to obtain a master's degree, to work at a local foundation whose mission is to invest in the community for improved health and, most recently, to mentor a young girl.
Many of us have been given incredible opportunities. These opportunities, along with our families, friends and other supporters around us help us develop our character and help us take advantage of and grow with these opportunities. However, not everyone has that support system and encouragement. This is where I think that the Girl Scouts play a significant role in the lives of young girls. The Girl Scouts believe in girls. The Girl Scouts strive to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Girls need to hear that someone believes in them; they need to believe that they are valuable. Will we take the time to communicate these truths to the girls around us? You can do that through your support to the Girl Scouts, mentoring a girl/young lady, supporting your own child at home, and so many other ways. My hope is that we will be generous with our time and our resources so that other girls can also have an opportunity to live a healthy and confident life.
Are you ready to explore new opportunities this New Year? Join Girl Scouts and help your daughter become the leader she was meant to be!
Some of Michelle Thaller's earliest memories consist of gazing at the night sky in her backyard. Just a child in the early 1970s, Michelle felt something strangely magnetic pulling her to explore the worlds beyond our own. This intense curiosity sparked her passion for science and ignited her mind.
Over time her curiosity only intensified. Michelle loved to study math and science in school. And sure, those subjects weren't popular for women. While no one particularly discouraged her to pursue her interest in science, no one really encouraged her passion either. That didn't stop her. Michelle refused to settle for what was average or comfortable. She refused to give up on her dream just because others couldn't see it.
Michelle dedicated herself to school and the pursuit of knowledge. By the time she graduated from her small rural high school, Michelle Thaller had been accepted to Harvard University. She decided to major in astrophysics.
In her small high school, Michelle had been a big fish in a small pond. But Harvard was more like the ocean. Michelle found herself struggling in her classes. She felt ill-prepared for the challenges she faced. Family and friends all encouraged her to consider changing tracks. They asked why she wouldn't choose something a little easier.

Snow possible Sunday night, but no white Christmas for York
Lindsey O'Laughlin
Forecasters have slightly different predictions about York County's weather leading into the Christmas holiday, but they agree on one thing: Christmas Day will be dry and sunny.
Craig Evanego, meteorologist with the National Weather Service at State College, said a light rain or a mix of rain and snow will fall in York County, beginning Sunday, Dec. 23, between 9 p.m. and midnight.
Evanego said temperatures will hover right around freezing overnight into Monday, and there could be a few slick spots on the roads in the morning, but that accumulation will be minimal.

More:For new Yorkers, factory whistle Christmas carols 'hauntingly creepy' and charming
"You could get a bit of slush on some grassy surfaces (and) mulch beds," he said. "It'll just be marginally cold enough."
Christmas Eve will be partly sunny with a high temperature in the upper 30s and a west wind of 10 to 20 mph, Evanego said, with temperatures dropping to the mid-20s overnight.
Christmas Day will be partly sunny with highs in the upper 30s, he said.
Carl Erickson, meteorologist with Accuweather in State College, predicts intermittent rain with the possibility of wet snow beginning after 9 or 10 p.m. Sunday and wrapping up before sunrise Monday.
Erickson doesn't expect any accumulation, and he said temps should remain above freezing.
"It's a pretty quiet weather pattern right through Christmas," Erickson said.
Erickson predicts temperatures will remain in the low 40s on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with winds coming from the west at 6 to 12 mph both days.

Sustainable development team - what we do
Information about what the sustainable development team does, including its areas of work, key policies, and work with others on sustainable development issues.
What does the sustainable development team do?
Which areas of work does sustainable development cover?
What key policies do the Sustainable Development teamlead on?
How does the council work with others on sustainable development issues?
We help to ensure that environmental issues are given equal consideration alongside social and economic factors and reflected appropriately within council policy.
We lead the development of policies, strategies, and plans to ensure that the council meets its requirements with regards to sustainable development. Specifically, our Environmental Policy acts as an umbrella for other plans and policies on topics such as biodiversity, coastal management, environmental management and inland waterways.
We work with internal and external partners to help them to contribute to the enhancement of the East Riding's environment for the benefit of all. We also work to ensure that the council's corporate priorities are taken forwards, particularly the 'Valuing our Environment' corporate priority.
Our team's work covers policy, strategy and partnership development in the following areas:
Inland waterways
What key policies do the Sustainable Development team lead on?
We have developed and implemented an Environmental Policy to help set priorities and guide the work of the council. The Environmental Policy covers all aspects of the council's environmental work and helps to guide us towards continuous environmental improvement.
Our other policies and plans on topics such as biodiversity, waste management, and environmental management include the East Riding of Yorkshire Biodiversity Action Plan and the Shoreline Management Plan. Just like additional documents held by other teams, our plans and policies help to deliver the priorities of the Environmental Policy.
We recognise that council operations and service delivery can affect the environment both at a local level and in a wider context. We are committed, where practicable, to reducing our effects by managing our own environmental impacts, encouraging and supporting others to do the same and continuously improving the environment for the benefit of residents, employees, businesses, and visitors to the East Riding of Yorkshire.
We work with internal and external partners at various levels through a number of partnerships whose ambition is to bring together people who care about the environment and want to improve it now and for the future.
Existing partnerships include:
Yorkshire Marine Nature Partnership
Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, this emerging partnership will encourage, and provide a vehicle for, collaboration amongst a wide range of partners in order to support, manage, understand and care for Yorkshire's unique marine and coastal environment.
The partnership will facilitate new links and identify shared priorities with wider stakeholders in the heritage, tourism, industrial, cultural and public health sectors, whilst also providing new opportunities for those already active in the coastal environment.

So thoroughbreds are near and dear to my heart, as I've owned 3 in my lifetime, all of which started at the racetrack. I used to work at the racetrack, as well. I started thinking that finding a way to donate some of my profits to Canter, OH, would make me feel fabulous. Canter is a non-profit organization that helps owners and trainers of thoroughbred racehorses transition retiring horses into new homes, with new, non-racing careers. It's a really wonderful organization.
What better time to make a donation, than around Kentucky Derby time? Right? So I made the decision that for the months of April and May, I will be donating 10% of all proceeds from Equestrian Delights, to Canter, OH. I know it's a little early to be mentioning this now, since it won't happen until April and May, but I'm excited!
But how does that benefit you? Well, in addition to 10% of your purchase going to help retiring thoroughbreds find new homes, I have decided to up the ante by offering you, my dear customers, 15% off of my "Run for the Roses" line! So you get to save 15% on that line, plus your total purchase from Equestrian Delights (not just the Rose line) will count towards the 10% donation to Canter, OH! See? Win/win! You win by saving money, I win by making sales, Canter, OH wins by receiving donations, and most importantly, the horses win. I think we can all agree, the horses winning is the best part.

Q: Must I define both the forward declaration and the interface of a class in the same section? I have a class that I want to keep private, because I only use it in the implementation section.
However it is used by a class that is declared public in the interface section.
Is there a way to do something like this:
unit x;

interface

  type
    TPrivate = class;  //forward declaration

    TPublic = class(TSomething)
    private
      FPrivate: TPrivate;
      procedure DoStuffWithFPrivate;
    public
      //...
    end;

 implementation

 type
   TPrivate = class(TObject)
     procedure Test;
   end;

Obviously the above code gives an error:

[dcc32 Error] UnitX.pas(27): E2086 Type 'TPrivate' is not yet completely defined

I don't want to resort to cheap tricks like:
FPrivate = TObject
....
procedure TPublic.DoStuffWithFPrivate;
begin
  TPrivate(FPrivate).Test;

Is there a way to do what I want without having to spill TPrivate's internal details in the interface?
I know it's possible to declare TPrivate as a strict private sub type of TPublic, however I don't like the pollution of the interface section this gives.
Is there a way to keep TPrivate out the of interface section (as much as possible) whilst maintaining type safety?

A: As long as TPrivate is not used anywhere in the interface of TPublic besides the field declaration (f.i. as a methods parameter type) you can use a local class helper to achieve this.
Note: FPrivate is not a good name for that field!
interface

type
  THiddenActual = class
  end;

  TPublic = class
  private
    FActual: THiddenActual;
    procedure DoStuffWithFPrivate;
  public
  end;

implementation

type
  TActual = class(THiddenActual)
  public
    procedure Foo;
  end;

type
  TPublicHelper = class helper for TPublic
  private
    function GetActual: TActual;
    procedure SetActual(const Value: TActual);
  public
    property Actual: TActual read GetActual write SetActual;
  end;

procedure TActual.Foo;
begin
end;

function TPublicHelper.GetActual: TActual;
begin
  Result := FActual as TActual;
end;

procedure TPublicHelper.SetActual(const Value: TActual);
begin
  FActual := Value;
end;

procedure TPublic.DoStuffWithFPrivate;
begin
  Actual.Foo;
end;

OK, it is merely a little variance of that cheap trick, but what are the alternatives? You have to take what is available, don't you?

A: I'm not sure what exactly your definition of "pollution" is as regards the interface section, but if it's just a matter of keeping it from drowning your TPublic class definition with noise then one option might be simply inheritance :
TBasePublic = class(TSomething)
  private
    type
      TPrivate = class
        // ...
        // ... keep TPrivate definition separate
      end;
end;

TPublic = class(TBasePublic)
  private
    FPrivate : TPrivate;
end;

This would even allow you to define TPrivate in a completely different unit if segregation is your goal.

Innovating the talent brand
Social media has erased whatever lines used to exist between the corporate brand and the talent brand. They're two sides of the same coin.
In a knowledge-based economy, skilled talent may be what most differentiates great companies from the rest of the pack. It can help drive innovation and customer value, creates growth opportunities, and mitigates a growing river of risk. Organizations that do an extraordinary job managing their talent agendas have an opportunity to set themselves apart – in both the talent arena and in the broader marketplace.
Capitalizing on this opportunity requires creating distinctive talent capabilities, of course. But the next step – one that many companies overlook – is to actively promote and brand those capabilities. In the past, it may have been possible for organizations to do this outside the influence of their external corporate brands. But in today's hyper-connected world, your corporate brand and your talent brand are two sides of the same coin.
As organizations begin to rely on talent that resides outside their four walls, alignment of the talent and corporate brands is expected to become even more important. Creating strong bonds that help retain critical talent – and attract the future talent you'll need – requires building leading talent practices and communicating them effectively and consistently. Get it right, and the potential of brand convergence can work in your favor. Get it wrong, and you may create more risk and confusion than you'll know what to do with.

My first cruise of 2016 has almost arrived! Today we leave for Southampton where we will be staying overnight, before Gavin and I will board P&O Cruises' Ventura on 15 February 2016.
This will be our second cruise with P&O Cruises, having spent 2 nights aboard the newer Azura in April 2013. On this occasion however we will be on board for 4 nights. Following our departure from Southampton we will spend the next day at sea, before arriving in beautiful city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands via the busy North Sea Canal. Next on our itinerary is busy port of Zeebrugge in Belgium, which I have been to once before but Gavin has not.
We are both really looking forwarding to enjoying a cruise with P&O Cruises again. In recent years we've been on quite a few cruises together, but many have been on smaller, older ships, so we are excited to be boarding a much larger newer ship again.
As ever, whilst on board I hope to get the opportunity to meet the Captain and present my brand new drawing of Ventura. It will be a little strange being back aboard Ventura, as she was the second ship I ever stepped foot aboard all the way back in April 2008 when I was just 14 years old. How time flies!
Upon our return we will be sure to post lots of photos and a complete cruise review on our website. Our Facebook and Twitter pages will be working as normal whilst we are away and we might even post and tweet from the ship should we get time.

Anti-ageing: the time-defying ingredients of the future
Ayesha Muttucumaru 8 September 2015
We met with the man behind some of beauty's biggest skincare innovations to find out what happens behind closed lab doors and discuss why the ingredients you pick are so much more important than the products you use
When it comes to anti-ageing , Joe Lewis has seen it all. One of the world's leading cosmeceutical scientists, the President and CEO of US Comeceu Techs' 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry has seen him develop and launch the world's first glycolic acid (AHA) in 1983 and pioneer some of the beauty industry's most innovative technologies.
So when it came to finding out about the direction that anti-ageing is headed, there seemed no better man for the job. Providing his insight at the launch of Elizabeth Arden Superstart - a breakthrough product in the beauty industry - he spoke with us about what truly makes an effective skincare regime.
Inspired by the Skin Health and Beauty Pyramid model which was published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology - a multi-level 'roadmap' to help skin see its full potential - the pyramid comprises of three pillars of success: a base focused on Repair (SPF, antioxidants and DNA enzymes), a Transform level (retinoids and AHAs) and an Optimize stage at the top (peptides and growth factors) to challenge the previous premise that 'Cleanse, Hydrate and Treat' were all that skin needed. In reality, the truth is a lot more complex, with correct ingredient selection proving more important than broad skincare terms.
So what ingredients work and where is science leading us in terms of new skincare technologies? We sat down with Joe to find out.
GTG: What are the cornerstones of a good anti-ageing regime that you think are here to stay and what goes into new product development?
JL: What was paramount to our new product development was to develop a strategy first and to ensure it was endorsed; and it was - it was published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology. If you look at the strategy, it isn't that complex and can be broken down into: what do we use to repair and protect our skin, what can we use to transform it and what can we use to optimise it. The ingredient technologies that do that today are SPF and EPF (environmental protection factor) and now, the DNA repair enzyme. Those three things work together to minimise the effect of the environment and need to be used every day.
Then when you look at what is truly transformational, there are two ingredients that are landmarked and have been for 35 years: retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). They're at the top of the pack and for good reason. That's not to say though that something else won't come into the category in the future. The category's really about hydration, exfoliation and cell renewal because that's what makes a change when you look in the mirror - those three natural functions.
Then of course, there's hyaluronic acid (HA), even though alpha hydroxy acid stimulates natural hyaluronic production in addition to its exfoliation function. We know how much the industry loves HA - we're injecting it all the time! Juvederm, Restylane...it's the raisin and grape effect - a grape has lots of hyaluronic acid in it, a raisin doesn't. If you can bind a lot of water in the skin then you can plump it, which pushes the fine lines and wrinkles out.
This is different to what a retinoid does. A retinoid stimulates cellular mitosis and cellular differentiation. Vitamin A really is the metabolic vitamin, it controls skin metabolism. So if you marry that with AHA - those two ingredients are truly transformational.
At the top of the pyramid is new-age technology - peptides, growth factors and stem cells, but it's so new and we don't know enough about them yet. There's a whole craze about stem cells, but we don't put them in products - you grow stem cells in a lab and they produce all of these wonderful compounds; peptides and growth factors which are cell signal agents. The outer membrane of the cell is laced with receptor proteins and they receive signals from the environment (peptides, growth factors and stem cells) which are transferred to the nucleus which then says 'perform a function.' This can be to make a collagen molecule, an elastin molecule, or a new cell in the case of a growth factor.
We used to think that the nucleus was the brain of the cell because that's where the DNA is located, but actually the brain is the cell membrane because it is controlling the signals that are sent to the nucleus which determines which genes we transcribe.
So in new development, we're always looking at these signal pathways and how can we pinpoint and target, interrupt, block or enhance them. It becomes more and more complex with the more science we have - we've mapped the whole Human Genome now! It's getting very sci-fi for the future. It's very exciting.
The cornerstones are the pyramid - and that's it. Everybody's concerned with their 'regimen' - their cleanser, their toner etc. But they should be more concerned with their scientific pyramid, because if those products don't have the right ingredients, they'll never find the skin solution they've been looking for. That was what the whole article [in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology] was all about.

GTG: Can your genes make you predisposed to a certain level of ageing?
JL: You can be pre-determined to a particular gene. Look at Angelina Jolie for example who found out that she had the gene for breast cancer and so took drastic measures to make sure she didn't develop it. In the future though, it would be a lot simpler if we could just figure out how to turn that gene off and block that pathway signal and so not have to have such dramatic changes done.
It becomes gene therapy (although skincare is still a long way from gene therapy!) The problem in the past when developing drugs was that they would work and would affect the right gene, but they would also affect two thousand other genes and that's where you'd get all of the side-effects - sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. So it was a case of having succeeded in blocking the gene, but having screwed up 2000 other genes in the process! So the future is really about narrowing the signal and the message to affect just the one gene.
GTG: Where do you think the world of anti-ageing is headed and are there are any emerging trends in your opinion?
JL: The huge emerging trend is peptides, growth factors and stem cells, but it's only 10 years old and still very young considering retinoids and AHAs have been around for 35 years. We're still trying to figure out all of the different pathways and screenings. We can build hundreds of thousands of peptides while growing stem cells is a case of 'taking the broth off,' looking into it, identifying the peptides and growth factors that are in there and then trying to grow them in the lab.

GTG: How do peptides and growth factors work?
JL: The human body is a protein machine; there are about 100,000 proteins in your body that control every function - digestion, respiration, muscle contraction, you name it. Machines wear out though, as do proteins. When proteins break up, they make peptides. So an amino acid is the smallest unit. You hook a few together and you make peptides, you hook a few of those together and you make proteins.
Lots of things degradate proteins such as heat (like when you fry an egg and it turns white) - when you get a strong chemical peel and it froths? That's protein degradation there. Protein degradation also occurs by free radicals, so right now we're developing antioxidant complexes that protect proteins and that are amino acid based. It's an exciting technology. When we can identify the right kinds of peptides and growth factors and map the signal pathway, then ultimately that's the name of the game.
With cosmetics though, it's a very thin line for when a cosmetic becomes a drug. We've been using peptides for many years and there are many available that help for example to enhance lash growth, length and density and increase collagen deposition.
Growth factors are a little trickier though, because they stimulate cell division and new cells. Cancers occur because of cell growth, so you have to be very careful with them so they target the right kinds of cell.
GTG: Are there any new anti-ageing ingredients on the rise - a new retinoid so to speak?
JL: In our PRO line, we have our first AHA-retinoid combination molecule. It's the first new retinoid to be created in over a decade. We'll gain a lot of experience in the professional marketplace and use it to guide it into retail later on when we know more, albeit at a much lower concentration. The molecule is a combination of retinoic acid and lactic acid so it's very interesting.
GTG: Are there are any lessons that we can learn from the past when it comes to the advancement of the anti-ageing industry?
JL: We screen thousands of antioxidants that don't work. A lot of technologies have fallen by the wayside as they were not nearly as critical to the solution as what's in the pyramid today.
A good example would be when looking at the base of the pyramid. We have antioxidants to control pigmentation, with the gold standard being hydroquinone in the United States. It's cited as a toxic ingredient though, so we need hydroquinone substitutes - new molecules that do that same thing without being cited as toxic. We're always learning, so things fall off.
One thing that hasn't changed though? Retinoids and AHAs are still the powerhouse of transformation after 35 years, so you know they aren't a fad.

GTG: Could you tell us about the new Superstart launch from Elizabeth Arden?
JL: It targets the stratum corneum and it's unique - the rest of the industry is literally going to get caught with their pants down here, because no one is thinking about it as it's dead like your hair. However, Dr Walter Smith wrote an article 30 years ago called The Living Stratum Corneum and nobody read it, because they were always thinking about going deeper within the epidermis and dermis - focusing on collagen and elastin etc. It's a bit like rearranging the furniture in a house, but nobody's watching the front door! If you're not watching the front door, it doesn't matter how much rearranging you do, all the damage is coming straight back in through the front door. That's really the concept behind Superstart.
Skin ageing is primarily the result of a mild chronic inflammation that is happening all of the time throughout your life as you're letting toxins in and the good stuff out through the 'holes' in the skin. So therefore, the first step is to fix that stratum corneum before anything else.
Elizabeth Arden Superstart is £45 and available to buy online from elizabetharden.co.uk .

Today at Terrigal Beach, Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove, who is also patron of Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA), awarded 21 Bronze Medallions to our first female lifesavers who served during World War II.
Six of the lifesavers were present to receive their Bronze Medallions in a red carpet event in front of hundreds of people in what is believed to be another first: the largest Bronze Medallion presentation Australia has ever seen. Lois Campborn, lives in Brisbane and could not attend.
The remaining Medallions were awarded posthumously to their families.
The surviving women or their families were escorted on stage by current Terrigal SLSC members.
This award ceremony could never have occurred without the wonderful work of Terrigal SLSC historian Cathy Cole who tracked down 21 of the surviving women or their families.
Muriel James is the girl in the middle, second from the front. To her left is her lifelong best friend Nola Lawn.
The National Film and Sound Archive has the original 1944 newsreel "Brother, Have You Been Saved?" of the women in action. It was shown in cinemas across Australia, the US and UK and the accompanying article focuses on Muriel James (nee Ogden) .
For more information read our article, First women lifesavers from Terrigal to receive official medallions after 75 years.

For a greater global role, take SDGs seriously
India presented its first voluntary national report on the implementation of SDGs at the UN on 19 July. Photo: Hindustan Times
4 min read . Updated: 31 Jul 2017, 03:54 AM IST W.P.S. Sidhu
India's inability to link its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) efforts with its global ambitions is telling, especially when compared to China
On 19 July, India presented its first voluntary national report on the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the UN. Although India was just one of 43 countries to do so this year, it was, doubtless, the most anticipated report; there is broad consensus that the success or failure of the hard-negotiated 17 SDGs will largely depend on whether India is able to achieve them or not.
For instance, the target of Goal 1—to "End poverty in all its forms everywhere"—is unlikely to be achieved unless India attains it. According to one estimate, India alone is home to more than 30% of the global estimate of over one billion people who live in extreme poverty. According to another estimate, India has more poor than 26 of the poorest countries in Africa. In fact, according to World Bank president Jim Yong Kim, a single Indian state—Uttar Pradesh (UP)—accounts for 8% of the world's population living in extreme poverty. Thus, if UP were to succeed, the world would be well on its way to achieving SDG Goal 1.
Clearly then, India's voluntary reporting at the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) on sustainable development was the perfect opportunity to not only present India's commendable achievements since the SDGs were adopted in 2015 but also enhance India's global standing and leadership credentials at the UN. After all this was as much a political forum as it was a discussion on development. While India partly achieved the first objective of highlighting some of the progress it had made on select SDGs, it did not make as much of a convincing case of leading the world on SDGs.
Consider the following: while the Narendra Modi government asserts that its national development goals are "mirrored in the SDGs", and that as many as 11 of the 17 SDGs—including "Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower women and girls" and "Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable"—are already being worked on, it chose to selectively report on just six goals (Goal 1—end poverty; Goal 2—end hunger; Goal 3—ensure healthy lives; Goal 5—achieve gender equality; Goal 9—build resilient infrastructure; Goal 14—conserve and sustainably use oceans; and Goal 17— revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development). India argued this year's HLPF was focusing only on these six.
In contrast, an umbrella of Indian civil society organizations, including some representing marginalized and minority groups, led by the Wada Na Todo Abhiyan, highlighted several other crucial SDGs, notably Goal 16—promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies—in their shadow report. In doing so the Wada Na Todo Abhiyan revealed another unintended benefit of the SDGs—the creation of rights movements among Indians to achieve the goals. This aspect has been completely missed out in the official reporting, which still treats the achievement of the goals as optional rather than mandatory.
Moreover, even on the six goals the official report is found wanting. For instance, while the report makes a strong connection between national economic growth (facilitated by foreign direct investment and the private sector) and achieving the SDGs, it pays only lip service to the role of the corporate world. Similarly, while the official presentation describes civil society organizations as "key stakeholders", the report make a perfunctory one paragraph reference to them and their imprimatur on the report is impossible to discern.
In contrast, the role of state governments, many of whom have adopted the SDGs, partly to leverage greater largesse from the Central government, has been justifiably highlighted. The efforts of many of the states, including Bihar, have been stressed though UP is a crucial omission.
The report also does not present a unifying theme (apart from the unimaginative Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam). In fact, parts of the report do not add up to a neat summation. If the report—prepared by NITI Aayog—was part of an inter-agency process as might be expected, then the process needs to be revisited.
Apart from the missing grand strategy, the report also makes little effort to connect how India's success in the SDGs would benefit not only India but also other developing countries. It also fails to make the case that India's achievement of the SDGs will enable it take on more global governance responsibilities.
Instead, the report makes a cursory reference to "South-South" cooperation, fails to mention South-North-South triangular cooperation entirely, and yet pleads for more overseas development assistance from the leading Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) donors. In doing so, it dents India's case for taking on more global responsibility and also its burgeoning role as a donor. According to one estimate, India now provides development assistance to the tune $4.5 billion per year, which could easily be reduced if the national development goals become a priority.
India's inability to link its SDG efforts with its global ambitions is telling, especially when compared to China. Last year, while presenting its voluntary national report, China highlighted its presidency of the G20 as being key for supporting industrialization in Africa and also announced the setting up of the China-UN Peace and Development Fund to "finance projects concerning peace and development".
While India might overcome the various challenges in implementing the SDGs, including developing reliable indicators to measure implementation, the efforts will have limited impact unless India also successfully leverages the SDGs to play a greater global role.

What can be better than killing two birds with one stone? How about hiking to two glaciers in one day! That's exactly what I would be doing today near Olden, Norway.
The Crown Princess arrived in Olden around 7 a.m. Olden is a very small town in Sogn og Fjordane county located on the southern shore of the Nordfjorden. At 66 miles long, Nordfjorden is the sixth-longest fjord in Norway. It encompasses the Jostedalsbreen, mainland Europe's largest glacier. This area is popular with both skiers and fishermen.
Around 9 a.m., my brother and I boarded a coach from Olden harbor which took us along the Oldeelva river into the Oldedalen valley. Our local Norwegian guide told us all about the area as we drove through the beautiful meadows. He pointed out the William H. Singer home and gallery. The famous American artist painted many renown landscapes when he lived here. During this poor period in Norwegian history, Singer also funded a road and a regional hospital for the people of Olden. Artists of the Romantic movement in the 19th century inspired travelers to come explore the dramatic landscapes here. Just like travelers of that period, we were all overwhelmed by the beautiful contrasts of the monumental peaks and glaciers towering above the rural homesteads.

We were stoked to hike two of Norway's most stunning glaciers in Jostedalsbreen National Park. The park surrounds the enormous Jostedalsbreen ice field. The Jostedalsbreen, together with smaller separate glaciers, covers about 310 square miles of the park.
Our first hike began near a farm in the lush Brenndal Valley. We followed our guide for the first 45-minute hike up Brenndal Valley. Along the way, we met a herd of cows that were curious about why we had invaded their path. The surrounding peaks were gorgeous and we had a magnificent view of the Melkevoll Glacier and valley below from an amazing overlook. We also hiked close to the tremendous Brenndalsbreen glacier.
Upon return to the coach, we drove to the charming Briksdal Inn. We enjoyed a delicious two-course lunch of Norwegian salmon and dessert before touring the Nordenfjord Visitor Centre. Then my brother and I embarked on a 45-minute hike to the Briksdal Glacier.
This valley is one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever encountered. Even the goats and sheep seemed to be completely at peace grazing here. Around every turn seemed to be mighty waterfalls roaring by us or high above on the cliffs.
As we approached the Briksdalbreen (Briksdal Glacier), we admired a dance of blue and turquoise light reflecting off the surface. A strong wind from the glacier created waves and rapids formed as the resulting river tumbled down the valley – in fact, you could go rafting here! We had a fantastic hike before rejoining our coach for the scenic drive back to Olden.
After our return, we bought some postcards in town before re-boarding the Crown Princess. The ship departed Olden around 17:00 p.m. and we went to the ship's buffet for the first time this trip for dinner. Later in the evening, I went to the gym for a workout. This gym was high tech with almost every kind of cardio theater equipment. But nothing could beat the view of the Nordfjorden outside as we cruised onwards to our next destinations: Fläm and the Sognefjord.

Coming out to play
'Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.'
Having seen us leap at the chance of formalizing our little Badminton Club, and suffered our amateurish attempts at writing a business plan, Gaynor was quick to steer us toward the wider service user involvement agenda, and I and Tel were happy to go along with her. It was something new and positive to do, and we were becoming really tight as a team, albeit only two strong. 'Got your back, pal' was our creed, and we were confident that the two of us would prove more than a match for anyone unwary enough to cross us. There was, perhaps, a little 'old behaviour' in our attitude toward the rest of the world. The old-fashioned creed that Tel had learned from his criminal associates, and I from my biker friends was simple; to mess with one of us, was to mess with both of us, and woe betide anyone who made that mistake.
It helped that we were such an unlikely combination of people. Several years down the line from here, after our weekend service and been launched and was beginning to really fly, I interviewed a lovely man named Adam Lewis, who until his sudden and premature death, had become a dear friend of mine. Once, on a holiday in Cyprus, we talked about Adam's interview as a volunteer for the SUDRG weekend service.
'I couldn't work you two out' he told me. 'You were the most unlikely pair I had ever seen, and I thought 'yes', I want to be a part of this. I just couldn't work it out, this bizarre tag-team.'
Adam, God rest his soul, was right. It was perfect and at times, damn nearly lethal. People would make the mistake of focusing on just one of us to try a steer us toward their personal agenda or manipulate our plans for the future, only to be sandbagged by the other when they weren't looking. People couldn't read us at all as a team, and often made the mistake of underestimating our determination and bloody-mindedness. I and Tel didn't care a jot. We were solid and confident in ourselves, and with that attitude we attended our first London-wide service user meeting.
The National Treatment Agency had been driving the service user agenda forward in the drug and alcohol field, and hosted a series of regular open meetings at Conway Hall in Holborn for all thirty-odd London Boroughs. I and Tel were encouraged to attend as the new service user leads for Kensington and Chelsea.
The meetings were a riot. It was a rare gathering indeed if someone wasn't asked to leave for being overly free and excessively colourful with their observations inside of the first hour, usually delivered from the back of the room in a sudden and explosive rant. People would turn up from all over London, many clearly worse the wear for having loaded up on their favourite chemicals prior to arrival, to take the first possible opportunity to open up with all guns at either the chair, or whichever brave soul had agreed to be a guest speaker. It was wonderfully entertaining, if a little short on either progress or lasting achievement. You have to give them credit for trying, but I think that on the most practical of levels, the folk at the NTA didn't really understand who they were dealing with. I and Tel did, and we felt right at home. Addicts and addiction were rooted in our respective souls.
The meetings often began with what was called a 'borough check-in' where the nominated leads would solemnly inform the room of the progress they had made on their own turf in embedding their version of service user involvement in either the local authority, the local treatment providers, or both. You can see the logic behind the idea, but in truth it quickly evolved into a pissing contest, occasionally of monumental proportions. I and Tel joined in enthusiastically. It only took one meeting to work out who we thought the competition was, and which way around the room the dialogue would move. The process was simple. All you needed to do was 'top' what the person on your left had said. It didn't take long to agree that the loudest voices in the room were the recently deceased, and much-lamented Robert Hickson, and the talkative Stephen King. I and Tel would make sure, where possible, that we spoke after them, taking note of all the bits and pieces we could reasonably pinch to weave into our own narrative, along with whatever we had hastily prepared. What should have been a quick fifteen minutes process, reached the hour mark and then further.
My hazy memory remembers one of these borough check-ins peaking at around an hour and a half as we all grandstanded enthusiastically, seeking to outbid each other like a group of drunken millionaires chasing a second-rate Jackson Pollock painting around an action room, only to discover in the cold light of the following morning they had bought a dull and un-prepossessing mess. The session finished with a weary voice from the back of the room, announcing, 'Fine. Nobody can compete with Kensington and Chelsea. Can we move on now?'
I and Tel beamed at each other and shook hands. Job done.
The real players in the room back then were the Methadone Alliance, later to become simply the Alliance. They usually chaired the meetings, and clearly held the centre ground where service user involvement was concerned. In later years, I came to admire, to a point at least, what they had achieved. Having recognised the potential in embedding service user involvement into the treatment system, they had been quick to organise nationally and having scooped up some heavy funding, had drawn their battle lines. They advocated fiercely, sometimes erratically, but always with passion not only for the right to quick and easy access to OST (Opioid Substitution Therapy) but also sensible levels of titration. Many prescribers in the treatment system had habitually insisted on the lowest possible doses of methadone, a waste of everyone's time since it guaranteed the client using other drugs on top of the prescription, increasing both the risk of overdose and potentially nullifying any attempt to halt the spread of blood-borne viruses through injecting heroin. They also set up a national helpline for service users who were denied quick and effective access to treatment, an achievement I have always admired. They could be quite relentless in their advocacy on behalf of others, and effective treatment had always been patchy nationally, veering wildly between the very good and the non-existent, depending on where you lived.
Unfortunately, their Achilles heel was so large, you could have hit it with a football at fifty feet and with your eyes closed. They were dogmatic and unwilling to compromise; sometimes stoned and often angry. I wonder whether or not their early success far outweighed their expectations to such a degree that they panicked, much like a small child who receives a birthday present so unexpected they insist on sleeping with it, fearful that otherwise it might had vanished when they awake. For many of their membership you either agreed with them or became the enemy. There was no compromise. We didn't even think about. We were the enemy.
On the day of our first meeting, we bumped into Beryl Poole, a fierce and prickly woman several years my senior, that in later years I would come to both like and admire very much. We have been running into each other for years now, often at the annual national DDN service user conference, and I have enormous respect for the years of her life she has poured into advocating for others. It's one of my highlights of the conference, bumping into Beryl. However, our first meeting was not auspicious.
'So, where are you from?' She asked.
'Kensington and Chelsea.'
'What have you done?'
'We've set up a badminton club,' I answered with some pride.
'That's not service user involvement.'
'Fuck off, you old witch!' Tel hadn't even drawn a breath, he just opened fire.
I loved him in that moment for saying what I was thinking, but was far too middle-class to ever do. Hardly subtle, but on the money. As far as we were concerned, service user involvement was what we said it was too, and our opinion was as valid and equal as theirs. We were determined to follow our own path, fighting or ignoring anyone that got in our way. It's a shame really. Had the Methadone Alliance been clever and flexible enough to absorb and accommodate other's opinions, ideas and perspectives, there is a good chance they would have been a national agency by now. They
weren't. They stuck to their dogma like aging communists before a tattered flag, and in the end, went down with the ship.
I and Tel had been very clear from the beginning, service user involvement was what we declared it to be, on the simple grounds that we were service users. No argument and full stop. I was to espouse that principle publicly, often, loudly, and with an attitude that dared anyone to contradict me, across London for the next five years. It worked beautifully, but then I and Tel were in a position from the word go, to put our money where our mouths were. I had learned.
To be fair, we were as stubborn, and in our own way, as dogmatic as the Methadone Alliance in the early days, but we learned quickly to adapt to changing ground and encompass viewpoints that were not ours. Gaynor could be a fierce mentor, but she was generous with her time and expertise, and more importantly was clever enough to plant a seed and back off, giving it time to germinate.
I think she worked me out early. It's always been in my nature to come out fighting when my opinions or ideas are challenged, and to this day, I still struggle at times to keep my mouth shut. However, given time to reflect and confronted with a solid and logical argument, I am very good at moulding that into my world-view and then adapting to my changing environment. Looking back, I think Gaynor played on it ruthlessly, but easily as much to my benefit as hers. As I said earlier, 'Enter the Dragon.'
I and Tel attended the Conway Hall meetings regularly, in large part for the fun of it and the childish delight we took in competing with our peers across London. Besides, it kept Gaynor happy, and we both acknowledged that we owed her. Nevertheless, from that first meeting onwards, we were determined above all about one thing. We had no intention of following the crowd, or the political agenda set by the NTA. We were only going to do that which we believed in and felt right. In part it was a matter of character. Neither myself nor Tel are people who either compromise for the sake of an easy life, or are overly susceptible to the influence of others, and I was born with a stubborn streak a mile wide. It runs in the family genes. To the mild amusement of both my parents their grand-daughter, my darling daughter, has it in spades. When Ella digs her feet in and drops her head slightly, eyes blazing, it's like looking into a mirror. What can you do?
Outsiders to the last, the meetings nevertheless served some purpose. It was a great networking opportunity, and it helped us to cement our ideas into the foundation that we were unknowingly, laying for the future. We met Robert Hickson, Steve King, Lucinda Owen, and Beryl Poole to name but a few, and over the years I would learn a lot from them and the rest of my peers as I practised swimming in the murky waters of service user involvement.
The NTA dismissed us and our ideas as irrelevant to their agenda. It didn't matter in the slightest to us. We were used to being rejected. Five years into the future, I would take a great deal of personal satisfaction from their climb-down. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Just Price, Public Utility, and the Long History of Economic Regulation in America

This Essay investigates the history of "just price" and its influence on the concept and practice of public utility regulation in the United States. It begins with a discussion of the Scholastic understanding of just price and its relationship to commutative justice, with particular attention to the problem of coercion in economic exchange. The Essay then discusses the centrality of just price to broader ideas of moral economy and to economic thought and regulation in colonial America and the early United States. The heart of the Essay shows how the idea of just price influenced public utility regulation as it took shape during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As the Essay demonstrates, received understandings of just price were fundamental to the public utility idea and were at the heart of battles over the proper approach to utility valuation and rate regulation during the first half of the twentieth century. The Essay concludes with a discussion of efforts to restructure formerly regulated industries during the last quarter of the twentieth century, with particular attention to the challenges faced by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as it seeks to ensure that prices in restructured natural gas and electricity markets are just and reasonable. Although much of the Essay's purpose is descriptive, several larger points emerge from this study. First, the history of just price reveals that relations of reciprocity and fairness in exchange are at the very core of the public utility idea. When seen from this perspective, public utility represents an important experiment in translating abstract principles of economic justice and fair pricing into working rules for governing key systems of provisioning in a modern industrial society. Second, the history of just price reminds us that prices are more than signals; that they are also relationships and that price relationships can be coercive. At root, the economics of just price is an economics of coercion and, as such, an economics that resonates quite strongly with efforts by Progressive lawyers, legal realists, and institutional economists to develop an approach to law and economics (and economic regulation) that would put coercion at its center. Third, the history of just price shows that competitive markets, when functioning properly, can be powerful instruments for protecting consumers and facilitating fairness in exchange. But it also underscores the importance of taking individual markets on their own terms and recognizing that some markets, and the mechanisms of price formation at their center, are more vulnerable to disruption and manipulation than standard economic models suggest. Finally, at the most general level, the history of just price reminds us that for a very long time—far longer than the lifespan of classical and neoclassical economics—ethical and social concerns have been intimately bound up with conceptions of economy, economic life, and the provision of necessities.
