Mixing reality with the Metaverse: Fashion icon Phillip Plein goes crypto
How can fashion and crypto mix in a practical yet innovative way so that even Phillip Plein's mother can understand crypto and NFTs?
In an attempt to bring the fashion industry into new innovations and trends, many brands are entering the cryptoverse to test out the waters. Fortunately, the crypto industry has its arms wide open, ready to accept the fashion world and grow.
One fashion designer who has recently started dipping his toes in the crypto world is Philipp Plein. He participated in Decentraland's Metaverse Fashion Week, showcasing a collection alongside Dolce & Gabbana, watch company Jacob & Co and many others who joined Decentraland in an attempt to bring fashion and the Metaverse together. During the show, Plein used the skull that is so apparent in his brand to not only present the models but showcase his work.
Cointelegraph stopped by the launch event for Plein's new Museum of NFT Art concept store, which brings his brand into the crypto industry and showcases how it plans to take a fashion-forward approach to crypto — in style and in the heart of London.
His crypto start
It wasn't just Metaverse Fashion Week that got Plein into crypto. In 2021, something sparked within him. "There was no built plan. It was just everyone was talking crypto, everyone was saying it was cool, and it was happening. I didn't have any vision," the designer told Cointelegraph.
Regardless, he discovered that his vision was to help people like his mother understand and participate in the crypto industry — but to make it high fashion and ensure that it's truly accessible for everyone.
Plein first started accepting crypto in his online shops, but the payment option was soon introduced to the brick-and-mortar stores around the world as well, allowing anyone to take advantage of the new technology. Garments in the stores have QR codes that, when scanned, direct the prospective buyer to a website that shows how much they cost in British pounds, Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and TerraUSD (UST), among the other accepted cryptocurrencies.
When asked how exactly the brand organizes 25 different cryptocurrencies plus the local currency, Plein told Cointelegraph that "We've developed a very complex way to do it. Every 10 minutes, we update the exchange rate on the website. So, if you go on the website and click on the sneaker to know the price, every 10 minutes you will get an updated price. So, we are getting really close to the actual price of the moment."
But what if you want to return the product and the price of Bitcoin has increased? Plein has come up with a solution. "If you want to return it in a month or two, we will give you the same value of what you spent in the currency in the country you live in. For example, if you buy this for 100 pounds, which is 1 Ether, and in three months ETH goes up, you will get 100 pounds back."
Plein wants to make the onboarding processing easier. As such, the offline stores cultivate an environment where everyone can learn about crypto through an application developed by Plein and his team. Sales associates are there to answer questions and provide insight on how Philipp Plein and crypto are a match made in fashion, bringing everyone interested into the crypto community without any of the intimidating parts. Plein added:
"I have to make it accessible for my mum, so that is my vision and my mission."
The event was put together to celebrate the opening of the Museum of NFT Art, or MONA. On the third floor of Plein's London shop, he invited guests to view a presentation of his nonfungible tokens. He showcased NFTs of monster figures along with screens that displayed his products. Here and in his stores, Plein wants to be "the one who makes you own your first NFT."
The Museum of NFT Art was built in-house because Plein does not "like to work with agencies. So, I created my own publishing house and started to work with the people. Now, we pick our own team and offer our services for free."
The issue with other NFT platforms is the fees, he said. But Plein sees NFTs and onboarding people differently: "We don't aim for money. We make our money with our products. We developed this platform for our needs, and now we make it accessible for other people."
Now, here's where it gets interesting.
The NFTs can be bought in-person via a sales association, but this is only one part of what customers experience when visiting the MONA London shop. He aims to provide a variety of ways for users to experience NFTs that can help anyone with any level of crypto knowledge.
"People started to be interested, but they weren't able to pay with crypto because they didn't have crypto. They started to ask, 'How could we get a Philipp Plein NFT monster?' And then we started selling them from the website like a shoe. You can pay with a credit card, Apple Pay — you can pay with whatever you want, and then we send you the NFT. And this was interesting. We sold about 1 million in NFTs in two to three months."
On top of a direct credit card or Apple Pay purchase, NFTs can also be bought with cash. "I've never heard of paying for an NFT in cash. So, if you want to come to London, you can pay in cash." He wants to make NFTs accessible "to my mother, who will never buy an NFT."
As a cherry on top of this innovation in the ever-changing NFT market, Plein laid out his biggest issue with NFTs: gas fees. "They sell you the NFTs, and then you have to pay gas fees," He added: "Explain to my 67-year-old mum what a fucking gas fee is."
So, Plein decided to bunch together the NFT's price and the gas fees so that customers don't have to think about it. Indeed, with reports of Yuga Labs' Otherdeeds NFTs spiking some gas fees up to 5 ETH, the issue presents a huge problem, one that many don't anticipate. "Some people see 10 euro shipping and will not even buy the product because they have to pay for shipping. We will sell all of our NFTs at a price that includes the gas fee, so you don't have to think about it."
As part of the running joke of what one can actually do with an NFT, another part of the Plein NFT experience includes a picture frame, or hardware for a wall, and even a Christmas tree ornament. Anyone has the chance to hang their Plein NFT right next to their favorite ornaments, and maybe Santa will bring one that can be burned into a wearable in Decentraland.
"So, my mum, who now has an NFT, asks, 'Well, what do I do with it?' Okay, mum, now you hang it on your wall."
Cointelegraph asked Plein about the future of the Philipp Plein brand and its Metaverse endeavors — in particular, how he mixes his personal ideas with both his real-life and Metaverse brand.
According to Plein, fashion is one of the toughest industries imaginable, one where "You have to reinvent yourself from zero several times a year. Each season, the trends are so unpredictable, and the consumer is very hard to control in regard to these unpredictable seasonal trends."
Plein has himself tried out many new things to see what sticks, not only with Metaverse Fashion Week but also with his spring/summer 2022 campaign with Megan Fox and photographer Stephen Klein. "The only way to work with this is to be open-minded, to be experimental, and to try new things to understand what the consumer likes."
Plein also sees the Metaverse as a way to explore trends to see what will stick. He believes that while "The Metaverse is not there yet, it's not going to take too much time, maybe three to five years, because the technology is much faster now than in the past."

And that sums up the annual scientific report card the University of Maryland is giving to the Chesapeake Bay.
While it may be in the middle of the grading curve, when it comes to the bay's health, a C is still an encouraging improvement.
But according to the UMD Center for Environmental Science, things are starting to turn around.
"This is very positive for the bay," says Dr. Bill Dennison.
When the university issued its first bay report card in 2006, the number score was a 43, or a "D." The latest grade is a 54.
"If you consider the Chesapeake Bay a patient, we went into the emergency room in critical condition… the patient is still in ICU, still monitored, we still have to be vigilant, but we're in stable condition and I think we're showing signs of improvement," Dennison says.
Fewer pollutants are flowing off the land into streams feeding the bay. Upgrades to sewage treatment plants have reduced nitrogen and phosphorous, in turn reducing algae blooms and dead zones. Crab, oyster and fish stocks in the bay are showing positive growth and water clarity and underwater grassed are also beginning to rebound.
In the past, the best report cards came during severe droughts. When there was heavy rain, pollution and sediment used to overwhelm the bay, damaging water quality and everything that depends on it.
"These improvement are pretty much weather independent… that's what's giving us cause for optimism," Dennison says.
Even after recent massive events like Hurricane Sandy, the bay's improving water quality has weathered heavy run-off from the land.
The University of Maryland doesn't just focus on our state. It also studies what's entering streams and rivers from five other state's that make up the bay's watershed.

On behalf of The Law Offices of Dorie A. Rogers, APC posted in Prenuptial Agreements on Thursday, October 4, 2012.
While many couples in California choose to have a prenuptial agreement drawn up, each agreement is unique to the couple involved. The idea of these agreements, however, is largely the same. Prenups are agreements designed to protect each spouse's future in the event of a divorce. In many cases, the terms of a prenup involve guidelines for financial settlements and payments, but more and more there are specific clauses added to a prenuptial agreement that make it as unique as the couple completing it.
For example, some couples want to maintain a healthy lifestyle and decide to add those terms to a prenuptial agreement. For example, one man included a weight-limit clause in his prenup, and identified a maximum acceptable weight for both himself and his wife. Another couple explicitly stated in their prenup that they would maintain a smoke-free home.
There are more traditional roles and goals of a marriage that some couples don't want to lose sight of. Maintaining active levels of intimate relations is essential for many married couples, so some are including frequency guidelines in a prenup. Other traditional couples are a little stricter, including the number of times a wife will prepare a home-cooked meal for her husband every week.
Some couples choose to add clauses to a prenuptial agreement that target social and behavioral habits that are important to them. While they may not make sense to other couples, some spouses find it necessary to put it down in writing that a spouse should be kind and respectful to in-laws. Or a wife may choose to limit the number of hours her husband can watch sports.
While seemingly strange, these dumands may be very important issues for the couple involved. In a more serious example, Nicole Kidman reportedly included a drug-use clause in her prenuptial agreement with husband Keith Urban. There is a spousal support payment plan in place, but if Urban, a former cocaine addict, relapses, he will not receive any money from Kidman.
Determining what may or may not be appropriate and important to note in a prenuptial agreement can be difficult, but many couples find these agreements useful and necessary to have in place. Working with an attorney to have a prenup drawn up can help couples prepare for and protect their futures.

Qu'est ce que cela veut dire?: Day Twenty-Two: A contradiction in itself.
I got a taste of why I was drawn to my major this past semester in AGEC 460- and more reinforcement while in Angers. Economics is just as much a social science as it is a mathematical science. Here, in France, I am learning about the social aspects that perpetuate their economy as well as their history. Not only is it dealing with data and finite information- but human tendencies, culture, and disposition. Stable and volatile all in one- a contradiction in itself; something I respect and appreciate. Today's French history lesson was a reminder as to why my skin crawls with both how fragile and volatile society can be. I am fortunate that the natures of my personal problems I have are based on what they are- it could be so much worse.
A valid point to understand fully is that societies aren't always led by morality, but rather by law.

Barrancas was occupied by Confederates during the Civil War, as evidenced by the presence of the Rebel flag over the fort. They posed a threat to the Union forces at Fort Pickens for over a year.
Museum Report - The Remaining Forts of Pensacola
By Hill Goodspeed
In April 1861, Northern newspapers blared headlines of federal garrisons holding out behind the ramparts of brick fortresses, defenders of the Union in recently seceded states that formed the Confederacy. Most of the attention focused on the vanguard of secession, South Carolina, and the troops assembled at Fort Sumter in the middle of Charleston Harbor. But another installation positioned at the tip of Santa Rosa Island also figured prominently in the events of those dark days on the threshold of Civil War. Today that strongpoint, Fort Pickens, is among a group of historic fortifications operated by the National Park Service that tells the military story of the Florida Panhandle.

As mentioned in the blog last week, high-throughput DNA sequencing is helping to identify novel mutations related to a number of different genetic disorders. A recent example of this can be seen in a study by Varela et al. (2011), in which exome sequencing was used to identify truncating mutations in the PBRM1 gene in 41% (92/227) of the clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) samples examined.
PBRM1 is found on chromosome 3 and is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodelling complex. It is known to contain domains which mediate binding to acetylated histones, protein-protein interactions and DNA-binding. Additionally, mutations in this gene have been implicated in breast cancer (Xia et al., 2008), and are also observed by Varela et al. in pancreatic, lung, gall bladder and renal cancer cell lines, as well as a mouse pancreatic cancer model.
The authors showed that knocking down PBRM1 expression with small interfering RNAs in four different RCC cell lines led to increased cell proliferation, increased colony formation in soft agar and increased cell migration – which suggests PBRM1 may play a tumour suppressor role in RCC.
The SWI/SNF chromatin-remodelling complex is involved in DNA replication, DNA repair and transcription (Tang et al., 2010), as well as cellular responses to hypoxia (Kenneth et al., 2009) and cell proliferation and differentiation (Reisman et al., 2009). Consequently, mutations in PBRM1 may interfere with these processes, and Varela et al. used gene expression microarrays to show that the knock-down of PBRM1 affected pathways associated with chromosomal instability and cellular proliferation.
In the ccRCC samples used in this paper, mutations in ARID1A (another component of the SWI/SNF complex) and the related ARID5B gene were also observed. However, the extent to which they contribute to ccRCC is unknown and would necessitate a large-scale follow-up screen. Additionally, VHL was often mutated, and it is hypothesised that the loss of VHL is insufficient for the development of ccRCC – consequently, additional events may be necessary for renal tumourigenesis, such as the loss of PBRM1. Furthermore, could PBRM1 mutations also be found in BHD patients with RCC?
Ultimately, the role of chromatin regulation in RCC is becoming better understood, which will help in the development both of diagnostic tests and appropriate therapies for kidney cancer.

I recently learned about the new upcoming image format called the High Efficiency Image File Format (or HEIF), which was mentioned in the Windows Blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/03/16/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-17123-for-fast/#OALyDY4AdhDIahYX.97). After looking into HEIF, I was wondering if Affinity was working on support for HEIF for Affinity Designer & Affinity Photo (or if support is already there). The initial impressions of HEIF look promising and might be an image format that can improve workflows. If you need details on HEIF, I've posted links below.
There are a few threads if you search for HEIF but you might find this one interesting. It's not that simple!

"The leaden heart grew entwined…" @FitzcarraldoEds #estherkinsky #grove
kaggsysbookishramblings Uncategorized esther kinsky, fitzcarraldo editions, grove 37 Comments
Grove by Esther Kinsky
Translated by Caroline Schmidt
Grief takes many forms, especially after the loss of a parent or a partner. Some bottle up the emotions, some let them all out, and others try to find other ways to cope with, and make meaning of, that loss. There are many forms of catharsis, travel being one and writing another; and these two strands come together in a new book from Fitzcarraldo Editions, "Grove" by Esther Kinsky.
It's been a few months since I read one of this marvellous publisher's books; in fact, I haven't picked one up since Lizzy and I co-hosted our Fitzcarraldo Editions Fortnight (which was such fun). I read mostly non-fiction for our event, so it was nice to turn to one of their fiction titles, and Kinsky is an author they've published before (her "River" has glowing reviews). So I approached this with interest!
Esther Kinsky was born in Germany and grew up near the Rhine; for a dozen years she lived in London; and she's also a poet and translator. As "Grove" opens, Kinsky's unnamed narrator travels to Olevano, a small village to the southeast of Rome. She's recently bereaved and has taken herself south during the winter months, settling in a temporary dwelling between the village and the cemetery. With this base, she explores the area whilst attempting to come to terms with her loss. Her heart is heavy, her focus intense, and she obviously feels the loss of M., her partner, deeply.
I stood at the window for hours as if inside a bell jar which had covered me and displaced me to my childhood, when in the afternoons and evenings I often felt incapable of doing anything but look out the window. Save that now beneath my hands on the window ledge I could feel M.'s hands. I didn't see them like I had that morning, only felt them and wondered if this was what had taught me to forget my own hands
The second section of the book opens with death of the narrator's father, and as she travels home for his funeral, this triggers more memories. Once again, these are of Italy and the narrator explores past family trips to the country, memories dominated by her father's personality. He often appears to have been a lost man, both psychologically and literally, and there is an emotional distance between them. The narrative slips between past and present; fragmented images of Communist party gatherings, driving through the Italian landscape and his research into the Etruscan past build up a picture of her younger life. In the final part, the narrator visits the north of Italy at a later date, in search of the location of the garden of Finzi-Contini family (from Giorgio Bassani's classic novel). However, the garden is not to be discovered, although perhaps the search for it has given the narrator comfort.
The garden of the Finzi-Continis remained a space that was shaped and reshaped by memory and interpretation, an area of loss that refused to be found… It was a place that could be found only by sensing its absence, by recalling what was lost…
"Grove" is a stunning piece of writing; Kinsky is a lyrical author, and her prose explores and captures the landscapes through which she wanders beautifully. Inevitably, the book is a melancholy read because of the subject matter and there is a sense that the narrator is seeking comfort or meaning in the lands she visits. However, she so often encounters bleakness or disintegration, in the form of half-built areas or landscapes being destroyed for modern constructions, that it does make you wonder what solace she found in her travels. She so often seems a displaced person, unable to find where she fits in the world like so many of the refugees she encounters as she journeys through Italy.

There's also a sense of the fluidity of time throughout the narrative, as the author explores her past and present; and there's also a feeling of continuity, with her father's intense search for the Etruscan necropoli mirrored by the narrator's focus on, and regular visits to, the many cemeteries she seems to encounter.
Like other works I've read from Fitzcarraldo which are published in their blue 'fiction' livery, it's hard not to see this book as some kind of autofiction; the narrator refers to her departed partner as M., and of course Kinsky was married to the literary translator Martin Chalmers, who sadly died quite young in 2014. Although the book is described firmly as a novel, it's impossible not to see it as very much informed by Kinsky's own life experiences. However, that's by the by. Whether novel, autofiction or disguised autobiography, "Grove" is a mesmerising, beautiful and melancholy piece of writing. Her writing is compelling and poetic, and having loved this book I may well have to search out her earlier work, "River"!

If you're looking for something to do during half term why not visit the Derbyshire Peak District and discover the beautiful Well Dressings – a local tradition dating back to 1349. The dressings themselves only last a week or two at most so you really do have to be quick not to miss out.
The tradition of Well Dressing is believed to originate from Pagan customs which resulted in local wells being offered up to their gods in return for the continued supply of fresh water . The tradition is believed to have become more significant in Derbyshire in the 17th century following the passing of the plague. By this time the Christian church had also adopted the custom.
There are some wonderful places to stay. The traditional market town of Bakewell provides an ideal base to explore the area with Brew House, Butts Cottage or Anne Cottage offering 3 excellent self-catering options. Visit Direct Holiday Cottages for details.
As a young girl I remember the school trip around this time of year to visit the well dressings in the local villages – a truly fascinating experience for the young and old alike.
Well Dressing is said to have started in the small village of Tissington, also famous amongst walkers and cyclists for the Tissington Trail. It is thought to be of pagan origin – following the village's escape from the Black Death – and the tradition has continued in order to give thanks for the purity of water drawn from certain wells. The wells are decorated during the week of Ascension Sunday. The pictures are usually of a biblical theme and reflect current events or anniversaries. The 'dressings' are formed by pressing flowers and other organic materials into a clay substrate.
Over the years the tradition died out with only a couple of villages continuing, then in 1930s, there came a revival. Today you will find around 18 villages, including Tissington, taking part in this wonderful tradition.
More to Bakewell than the tart.
There's plenty more to see and do whilst staying in Bakewell .

Take time out for some retail therapy.
The town offers traditional shops alongside the more modern and don't forget the Monday Market. The Bakewell market is the only one in the beautiful Peak District National Park – a tradition spanning back to the 1300s. Once upon a time, the main reason for markets throughout the country was to sell cattle and the produce of the local farms. Farmers from across the peak district continue to the present day to show off their prized stock for sale in the market – although livestock is not the only fabulous produce on sale.
Remember to try the traditional Bakewell Tart -nothing beats the real thing. I can feel my mouth watering as type. Try them hot or cold – my favourite is hot with a fresh brewed cup of tea.
Visit the Bakewell Pudding Shop and book a tour and bake your very own Bakewell Tart!

Fire has long been held sacred in the indigenous religious traditions of South Asia.
I have been to Sargodha city in Pakistan's Punjab province many times. In fact multiple times in a year, throughout my childhood. This is where my family comes from – both maternal and paternal. Despite all my trips, however, I have never visited the shrine of Naghyana in a village called Dharema, about 10-odd km from the city.
Composed of two graves, it is an extraordinary shrine, dating back to the 17th century. The first grave is said to belong to Prince Murad Baksh, the youngest son of Emperor Shah Jahan, who had joined hands with his older brother Aurangzeb to take on their brother, Prince Dara Shikoh. However, after Aurangzeb defeated Dara Shikoh, he put Murad Baksh to death, clearing the way for him to become the emperor. The story of his grave being at this site, however, is unlikely as Prince Murad Baksh was put to death in Gwalior.
The second grave is said to belong to the saint Naghyana, who is believed to have given refuge to Murad Baksh. The progeny of the saint eventually came to be known as Naghyana.
The word Naghyana is believed to have been derived from Naghe, an epithet used for Naga Sadhus, the naked ascetic devotees of the Hindu deity Shiva. Covered in ash dust, sporting long untrimmed hair, and known to consume hashish incessantly, these sadhus defy all societal norms and prefer to live in seclusion. There is also a long established tradition of naked Sufi ascetics, connecting all the way back to Udasi sadhus, followers of Shri Chand, the eldest son of Guru Nanak.
In devotional art, Shri Chand is usually depicted almost naked sitting in a yogic position next to a fire. He has long, ragged hair, just like a Naga sadhu. Like these sadhus, the Sufi dervishes too let their hair grow long, and believe that hair is the source of life-energy. It seemed that the Udasi, as devotees of Shri Chand later came to be known, also borrowed heavily from the Shaivite sadhus, just as the Sufi ascetics or dervishes did. Perhaps Naghyana was one such Sufi ascetic.
There is another legend at the Naghyana shrine about the fire that the saint lit. Fire acquires a particular symbolic and religious significance in ascetic Sufi tradition. Many popular Sufis are believed to have their dhuan (smoke), which, in this case, specifically refers to the place where they lit their fire and sat. For many such Sufis their dhuan became a place of veneration after their death. The situation at the shrine is quite similar.
At the shrine, it is narrated that the fire has remained alive ever since the death of the saint in the 17th century. His devotees have made sure that his dhuan survives. I am told the fire simmers – emitting more smoke than fire – at the centre of a room that is blackened by this centuries' old smoke. Perhaps the fire comes to life during the annual urs celebration, the death anniversary of the saint, the day he is believed to have become One with the Divine.

After Mythix HQ was griefed,I have asked Gilby,leader of BKnights to see if we could round up the remainders of Mythix,who probably have had members leave to another guild after that after this incident. If you are one of the current Mythix members who would like to join the BKnights for some protection,please comment below.
P.S: Please state your in-game name unless your forum name is the same.
No offense. But I feel the leaders of Mythix were horrible. They declared war on my clan cause my clan mate called their clan 'bad'.
Edited to add:I guess no one won. Both HQs were griefed.
Nah. U.N. aren't too bad. But pretty unlikable. I'm WHO. Small Li'l guild for my friends. And then Mythical declared war ._.
The Union of Socialists disapproves this violent behaviour, and will do everything it can to keep the fighting out of it's borders. New Moscow, the glorious capital of the Union, will increase the security, to ensure peace and safety for it's population.
Should the hostilities continue, the Union will be forced into a conflict to ensure a safe and peacefull game that everyone can enjoy.
It was just a little war, we weren't offensive in any way. I don't understand why you're still bitter about losing a war, but I guess that's your problem.
Mythix was an amazing guild, and it would be nice to see it rise up again. Just not so many wars this time ok? Try to resolve peacefully.
I don't see a resurrection in the near future. Since Mythical left, most of us have settled into new guilds or left Deepworld. Some of us have bad memories which are better left in the past.
But what if Mythical is not kill?
He's not dead, he just quit.
Maybe I can help rebuild something! I'm a great builder. You should see my buildings in Griffinfoot Way!
I know he isn't really dead, just some internet "jokes"
For some reason, this made me laugh super hard.
Maybe you could... since Mythical left I can ask a remaining Mythix member.
I believe it's the blunt tone that was unintentionally implied. And whoever is making the "internet jokes" should reevaluate their sense of humour.
What could I build? And, what world?
Aye man, don't be so dull and lighten up a bit. Also, nice word choice.
My apologies if I'm "dull", I just don't appreciate people mocking my friend's unfortunate departure. And thanks.
This is exactly why if you talk badly about someone to someone, don't be so apologetic if you meant what you said before. I know you're just saying sorry, but what if we all were friends with mythical? huh. I wasn't, but guess what? You should really think before you act. And maybe have a bit of respect for others, just for the sake of friendship.
I agree. People are too quick to judge, without ever knowing the story behind a certain problem.
Perhaps I could build an HQ, with a rares room, and a lounge, building is ma life!


UMMMMMMMMMM. I dont know if its just me or the fact that im really out of it. See im playing megaman right. Im fighting ICE MAN when it hits me. Where does the ice come from? Ice Man doesnt have guns all he has are the mittens on his robotic hands. What do you guys think?


Is separation agreement the same for married couples and common law couples?
Division of property is one area where Canadian Law has different rules for married couples and common law couples who separate.
For matters like child custody, access, spousal support and child support, the law treats married and common law couples equally.
The essential steps to be taken once a couple decides to separate?
Division of Property – married couples have a right to share in the property only for the duration of the relationship. The spouse's entitlement for the share ends once the couple separates unless the property is owned jointly.
It may happen that you both may not be sure of the date of separation. Or you and your partner may not agree on the date you separated.
For any confusion in identifying the date of separation, the couples need to look at when they started living apart from each other, separated their finances, started doing things on their own.
Can a separation agreement be enforceable in court?
Both spouses need to understand the agreement completely.
In case the above rules are not followed, the court has the right to set aside the separation agreement.
At Nanda & Associate Lawyers, our excellent Family Law lawyers help in making effective representation for separation agreements. They understand your specific circumstances and provide tailored and customized solutions for each of them. Many legal complexities exist in drafting separation agreements, and an experienced family law lawyer can help you to navigate better.

LEGAL THEORY OF CAUSATION: Why Guilty, Dr. Murray in re Michael Jackson by Adeyemi Oshunrinade
By Adeyemi0670 on November 8, 2011 • ( 0 )
As Dr. Conrad Murray is hurled to jail to await sentencing after jury's verdict finding him guilty of involuntary manslaughter, many wonder what actually led the jury to arrive at such a decision after weeks of deliberation and tons of evidence scrutiny. Recently, I wrote an article on the case titled "Involuntary Manslaughter: Meaning of the Charge in re Michael Jackson." The article generated a lot of interests among those interested in knowing the meaning of involuntary manslaughter. However, in this case, The aim is to explain what may have led the jury to arrive at a guilty verdict.
To a non-legal mind, a guilty verdict in the Michael Jackson's case may look rather trivial or mundane but nonetheless, every decision by the court or the jury must be supported by evidence and all elements of the charge must be established to arrive at a satisfied verdict. The crime of involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide is defined in such a way that the result of a conduct is required before its commission can be established. Therefore, the answer to how the jury arrived at a guilty verdict may lie in the legal theory of causation.
From the tort theory of negligence we learn that besides proving duty and breach of duty, the prosecution must also establish proximate cause. It must show that the defendant's action or omission is the legal cause of injury suffered by the victim. Likewise, in criminal law we must find a causal connection between the act and the harmful result. In any civilized criminal justice, liability cannot be enforced on a defendant unless it is determined the action punished, is in some degree a result of his act. Imagine one charged with murder and sentenced to life imprisonment when all evidence show that his action did not cause the victim's death. In fact, it is fair to say that such a sentence is far from proper justice. The issue is not what people say is the cause but rather what the law says is the cause of the victim's demise.
Likewise, in the Michael Jackson case, to find Dr. Murray guilty as concluded the jury must have looked through all evidence including testimonies; based on such evidence it has come to the conclusion that Dr. Murray indeed caused Mr. Jackson's death. "It has been said that an act which in no way contributed to the result in question cannot be a cause of it; but this of course, does not mean that an event which might have happened in the same way though the defendant's act or omission had not occurred, is not a result of it. The question is not what would have happened, but what did happen." (See Beale, The Proximate Consequences of An Act, 33 Harv.Law Rev 633, 638 (1920))
In criminal negligence cases such as this, what is important is that whenever a crime demands the occurrence of a specific conduct for its commission, it is essential that the defendant's conduct be the "legal or proximate" cause of the result in order for a guilty verdict to stand or else no culpability may be established. For example, the crime of homicide (unlawful killing of a human being), requires the death of a person therefore, defendant's action or omission must be the legal cause of death to establish guiltiness. This is to say that 'but for' defendant's action or omission, the result (death) would not have occurred.
In the Michael Jackson case, the jury was able to conclude by clear and convincing evidence that Dr. Murray's negligent action in giving Mr. Jackson an illegal dose of propofol, is both proximate and legal cause of the pop icon's death. This means that 'but for' Dr. Murray's negligent act of giving Mr. Jackson propofol, Mr. Jackson would not have died.
"A primary requisite to either criminal or civil liability is that the act of the defendant be the cause in fact of the injury. This requirement is embodied in the familiar causa sine qua non rule, generally called the 'but for' rule. This test generally is satisfactory when applied in negative form, and it is a basic principle that a defendant is not liable unless the injury would not have resulted but for his wrongful act. But as an affirmative test the 'but for' rule provides no infallible standard and does not constitute a fair test of liability in the absence of further qualification. …
"The modern authorities, while agreed that the 'but for' test is inadequate differ materially in their concepts of proximate causation. The theories conveniently may be placed in two groups. One group seeks the necessary connection between the result and the act; the other, between the result and the actor's mind." (See Focht, Proximate Cause in the Law of Homicide-With Special Reference to California Cases, 12 So.Cal.L.Rev. 19, 20-21 (1938))
To establish proximate cause three tests are required: Intention, probability, and the absence of an independent-intervening force. "Any intended consequence of an act is proximate." There is no doubt that Dr. Murray intended to give Mr. Jackson propofol. Even though, he had no intent to kill, Dr. Murray knows or should have known that improper application of propofol would cause death.
As a man of adequate intelligence with proper medical training, he is expected to know the adverse effects of illegal administration of propofol. "It would plainly be absurd that a person should be allowed to act with an intention to produce a certain consequence, and then when that very consequence in fact follows his act, to escape liability for it on the plea that it was not proximate". (See Terry, Proximate Consequences in the Law of Torts, 28 Harv.L.10, 17-20 (1914)) Therefore, there is the required intent to establish causation; meaning Dr. Murray intended a negligent act that caused the homicide.
Probability is a name for someone's opinion or guess as to whether a consequence will result; to establish the actor knows the probable consequence of his action, it is important the person whose opinion is taken, is a reasonable and prudent man in the situation of the actor. There is no doubt death is a foreseeable consequence of illegal administration of propofol to a human being. A reasonable and prudent physician in the position of Dr. Murray, would have known that death is a foreseeable consequence of negligent administration of propofol, in a home setting. The drug is used by anesthesiologist for surgery and not as a sleeping agent therefore, Dr. Murray knows or should have known the probable and foreseeable consequence of his actions. Legally speaking, an actor is only liable for the foreseeable consequence of his act and not the unforeseeable.
The third test of proximateness is the non-intervention of an independent cause between the original cause and the consequence in question. Therefore, it is proper to call it an isolating cause. To establish his negligent act did not cause Mr. Jackson's death, Dr. Murray would have to show something else happened in the form of an independent force that caused the pop icon's death. There must be a prevailing force that cuts the chain of causation, in order not to find the actor liable. Here, Dr. Murray claims the pop icon, injected himself with the propofol that caused his death; he attempts to prove self administration of propofol as the independent force that caused death.
Normally, in negligent cases, a prove of a separate intervening force as the cause of death may exculpate the defendant or make him partially liable; but even in such cases, the foreign force must be equal to the defendant's action to share liability but, if the intervening force is a dominant or prevailing force the defendant may not be culpable. However, the defendant must still show that he did not set in motion the events that led to victim's death. Here, Dr. Murray has failed to prove Mr. Jackson injected himself with propofol. Even if he had done so, facts will show that but for the negligent act of Dr. Murray, Mr. Jackson would not have access to propofol. By making propofol available where it should not, Dr. Murray has "set in motion" the chain of causation and the events that led to Mr. Jackson's death.
Based on followings, all evidence still point to the fact that no independent or intervening force caused Mr. Jackson's death but the negligent act of Dr. Murray in providing him with a drug he should not have had. These thus establish the third requirement needed to prove causation.
Now that he is found guilty, Dr. Murray may have to spend 4 years in jail however, he may still face a civil law suit. Normally, if found guilty, he would be required to pay damages to the estate of the deceased; Physicians have medical malpractice insurance and in most cases, the insurance pays the fine to a substantial limit. As for his legal costs, he may not be able to pay all; since this is a high-profile case, his defense team may benefit substantially from the sale of books and TV interviews.
At this stage, his practice of medicine may be over; the conclusion to that effect would be determined by the medical board of the states where he is licensed to practice.

Q: Extracting data from NDVI false color image in MATLAB I have a  NDVI false color image
There the NDVI <-1,+1> range was re-colored by a false color LUT.
I need to extract back the NDVI index data from the false color pixelmap.
How to make MATLAB access & reconstruct the NDVI index data, which should finally have again values from the range -1 to 1?

Side notes:
I only have MATLAB at my disposal for this.

A: Import file first
Depends on your False-colour file-type
% DEPENDS ON YOUR FILE FORMAT _______________________________________
%
% MAY READ-IN .TIF/.

I = imread('False_coloured_(NDVI2RGB)_converted_SatIMAGE.tif');

% MIGHT NEED A MORE COMPLEX fileInput AS FROM MULTIBAND SOURCE
%
% = multibandread( ... );
%
% DEPENDS ON YOUR FILE FORMAT _______________________________________

Check the actual structure if I after imread() / mutlibandread()
Reverse-conversion from [cLUT] colourSpace -> float NDVI-indexSpace
This sounds simple, but without a proper a-priori knowledge of the cLUT forward-conversion, you have to guess.
8-bit gray images have a simplest way ( while a proper care has to be taken too ).
It is possible to de-map the Image range of values [0..255] in theory, [0..250] in practice ( sometime 251-means water, or 253-means a fill, for details kindly check carefully your Image-vendor's documentation rather than asking volunteers here to read Wikipedia et al )
The issue is not the RGB conversion, but the [cLUT] colourMap used
You easily browse and inspect the Image RGB colourSpace values
falseColourRED   = I(:,:,1);
falseColourGREEN = I(:,:,2);
falseColourBLUE  = I(:,:,3);

The goal is to guess the reverse-translation.
Initial guess to move from [RGB]-> NDVI via reverse-mapping onto
a linspace( -1.0, 1.0, nUniqueRgbClrTripletsFoundInTheIMAGE )
fails the more "wilder" / the more "exotic" a false-colouring process [cLUT] colourMap was in the forward-conversion, so as to emphasise some specific agricultural phenomena.
So you need to know the original forward-conversion [cLUT] mapping used.
Sample [cLUT] colourMap differences

So looking top-to-bottom you hopefully visually realise the reverse-conversion issue
Vendor specific [cLUT]-Forward-conversion mapping NDVI-indexSpace->colorSpace ambiguity:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[+1.0]->Red
[+1.0]->DarkBrown
[+1.0]->Violet
[+1.0]->DarkBlue
[+1.0]->DarkGreen

------------------------------------------------------------------------
colorSpace -> NDVI-indexSpace [cLUT]-Reverse-conversion ambiguity:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        [Red]->+1.0
                        [Red]->+0.8
                        ...
                        ..
                        .

Review: A&R Angels (Crow's Theatre)
November 26, 2017 Sam Mooney	Leave a comment
Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew debuts his new play A&R Angels at Toronto's Crow's Theatre
If I were giving a prize for the funniest, darkest opening scene in a play I've seen this year it would go to Crow's Theatre production of A&R Angels, playing at Streetcar Crowsnest.
A man (Gordon S. Miller who is terrific as two "suiciders") walks into a room, drinking a Slurpee. He finishes the drink, puts the cup on a table, climbs on a chair, and slips a noose around his neck. Enter the angels!
And the roadies and sound equipment. They're here to play a song that will make the "suicider" change his mind and decide to live. They have 22 hits to their credit but their past 10 attempts have all been misses. Loud Angel (Kevin Drew, the playwright and Broken Social Scene frontman) is full of doubts, wild ideas, and unfinished thoughts. His partner, Soft Angel (Ben Kowalewicz, frontman of Billy Talent), is the voice of reason, praising, cajoling, pleading.
The song doesn't work. They're 11 down with two chances left before they have to go back to earth as 'mentors'.
They meet in a sauna with the A&R boss (Maurice Dean Wint) and the numbers guy (Graham Cuthbertson). Loud Angel wants a better kind of "suicider". The others try and find a way to make a better song with the numbers guy citing stats about what key is most effective and the A&R boss and Soft Angel discussing how many verses there should be before the chorus and whether there should be a pre-chorus.
Loud Angel would drive me crazy in real life. He keeps resisting suggestions, doesn't want to try anything new and and doesn't want to go back and try the things that worked in the past. It's not hard to figure out that number 12 isn't going to work and that number 13 will.
Ngozi Paul is the 13th suicide. She and Loud Angel have a history although it isn't what I expected. She was his muse. She makes a suggestion, the song works.
I found the ending a bit low-key given the fast pace of the rest of the play. Some catharsis would have been nice. It would have been lovely if the closing scene had been as strong as the opening.
Having said that, the play is darkly funny. The question of whether a song can still reach people and affect them deeply in a digital age where we are all connected but disconnected is important and applies to more than music.
My friend Pat wondered if there was an argument being made that there's a formula for a successful song.
We both thought the acting was terrific. I was particularly impressed with both Drew and Kowalewicz. They both have years of experience being on stage but it's different playing the same character night after night. Director Chris Abraham really gets the best from the cast.
Julie Fox's set ranged from a minimal white sauna to a grungy hotel room to cozy apartment. There were major set changes but they were done so discreetly that I didn't notice them at all.
One of the other things I loved was a tiny detail in Fox's costume design. Wint's towel in the sauna scenes had a pocket. I also loved the visual of Cuthbertson wearing a toweling robe and carrying an aluminum briefcase.
Kimberly Purtell's lighting was very big. It reminded be of concert lighting but on a smaller scale. The same with Thomas Ryder Payne's sound.
Drew is a very funny writer, I hope he continues to write plays. I thoroughly enjoyed A&R Angels. It's definitely worth going to see.
A&R Angels is playing until December 9, 2017 At Streetcar Crowsnest (345 Carlaw Ave)
Showtimes are Monday through Saturday at 8:00pm, matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00pm
Tickets range from $35 to $50
Tickets are available online, by phone at 647-341-7390, and at the box office

I saw that time-offset in E3D's viewport still not work correctly.
-From frame 0 to 9 of the timeline, E3D read the 10 last frames of the OBJ sequence (so F40 to F50), and only after that, at frame 10 of the timeline, it start to play the frame 0 of the OBJ as he does.
-And at frame 50 of the timeline, the reading start again to frame 0 of the OBJ or Freez on the frame 40 depending on what you choose in "bake animation" parameters. So the animation can't be read entirly.
This is a real issue, because if you have to import 10 pre-computed animations, with 10 differents time-offset, you need to creates 10 different groups to have the ability to use the time-offset parameters of the groups.
That make things really complicate and huge to manage.
Is that will be corrected on further patches ?
