March Dialogue Nights Event Celebrates Human Connection
By Mitch Bogen
What better time than now, with polarization and division so ascendant, to celebrate our shared humanity? With this spirit of optimism, on March 23rd the Ikeda Center hosted its second dialogue night event of 2018, this time called "Learning to Live Together: Rediscovering Our Fundamental Connectedness."
In her welcoming remarks, the Center's Lillian I shared that the theme was inspired by Daisaku Ikeda's 2018 peace proposal, which she said "emphasizes the need for people, governments, and leaders to embrace and recognize the fact that every human being is inherently precious and irreplaceable." Furthermore, each of us "must perceive the common humanity of those different from us."
The evening's initial conversations revolved around the documentary video "The Island of All Together," a moving portrayal of conversations between tourists and Syrian refugees on the Greek island of Lesbos. For their encounters, refugees and tourists paired up to engage with such deceptively simple questions as "What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?" and "What did you dream of when you were a kid?" Prior to viewing the video, attendees gathered into pairs to respond to these same questions.
In leading a discussion on the video, Lillian mentioned that in an email exchange with the makers of the video, they stressed that one of their main goals is to promote a humanism in which people talk with one another rather than about one another.
One thing that jumped out at attendees while viewing was how conversation partners were able to sit with silence and accept some initial feelings of awkwardness in order to connect on a deep level. Others found it striking how the refugees seemed both genuinely interested in the wellbeing of the tourists and grateful that the tourists in turn were open to hearing about their plight.
These insights set up the final activity, in which the students engaged in dialogue guided by two passages from Mr. Ikeda's 2018 peace proposal. The first included the advice that we seek "a way of life where we experience joy in seeing one another's dignity radiate its full potential," and the second, the insight that "[mutually shared joy] arises from efforts to support each person across differences, so they may continue advancing as they take on life's challenges."
A few main points emerged from participant discussions on how these themes have played out in their own lives. On the topic of suffering, it was agreed that even though each person's suffering is unique, the fact that we all feel emotional pain unites us and adds meaning when we tell others about our struggles and how we have been able to achieve relief or happiness.
One participant shared that when attending social gatherings, she habitually gravitates to people who seem similar to her. However, tonight she was able to engage in dialogue with someone who seemed quite different from her. She intends to practice this same kind of dialogue more often in her personal life.
Her experience resonated with those who remarked on the value of consciously creating platforms for meaningful, supportive exchanges, like the Ikeda Center does with its Dialogue Nights, and like the filmmakers did with the conversations they instigated and facilitated on Lesbos.
Picking up on this last point, Lillian I said that what really struck her about the video was how the powerful exchanges between tourists and refugees happened in the most humble of places—on a park bench or even sitting on a curb. Any place, she suggested, can become a platform for the powerful connectedness that comes from open-hearted, open-minded dialogue.
In her closing remarks, Lillian added that she hopes that "we continue to choose dialogue in our daily lives, in spontaneous encounters, and in our families, workplaces, and communities."

A unique load supporting system designed for construction in the root protection area to prevent soil compaction and root damage to trees.
The value of having mature trees in and around a city environment is priceless.
As an example, trees play an important role in converting CO2 into oxygen as a process during photosynthesis. This is particularly valuable in urban areas as there is often a higher concentration of people as well as higher numbers of pollutants. As the value of mature trees has become clearer, so has awareness of the need to preserve them. Protecting the root network is a critical step towards preserving the benefit and ensuring their long term survival.
A final surface finish of mesh grids, which can be overlaid with block paving, asphalt or resin bound.
The low profile height ensures minimal impact on the surrounding area. Mesh grids ensure that maximum strength can be acheived for the minimum depth. Mesh panels also allow the free transfer of water and air with the soil below.
A framework of steel T-section beams support the grids above. This allows the system to fly over the rootzone and effectively bridge the root area.
S355 grade hot-dip galvanized groundscrews are screwed in to form a solid low-impact no-dig foundation.
Why Choose Green Grid Systems?
Green Grid System's root protection bridge makes the covering and paving of existing root ranges possible.


Frank Capra's perennial Christmas movie "It's a Wonderful Life" is remembered mainly for celebrating civic and familial virtues. George Bailey sacrifices his dreams for those of others, but in the end receives the greatest rewards of all.
But George was also a good industrial economist. Reluctant inheritor of dad's Bedford Falls Building and Loan, he understood the institution's role—to consolidate deposits into home loans, so Joe the debtor could escape the landlord tyranny of the evil Mr. Potter.
Now what are you going to do? Foreclose on them?
Fine, fine, you say. What's that got to do with credit default swaps?
The good folk of Bedford Falls were ready to take Old Man Potter's offer of 50 cents on the dollar, until George Bailey personally talked them down. People were confident in him and trusted him. Trust and confidence were the coin of the realm for JP Morgan, and for George Bailey, and are again today.
Say you start a bank with $10,000 in equity. You make a $6,000 loan. You've got $4,000 left. If you loan that $4,000, you're tapped out. That's when you discover deposits, aka liabilities, which let you make many more loans, aka assets.
The amount by which you can leverage your equity to make more loans depends on how stable your assets and liabilities are. If you make bad loans, your asset quality declines. If you take on bad liabilities—securitized mortgages or CDOs, let's say—then you may have to sell assets to cover your obligations.
Presto, there's your bank run.
The run may be driven by Bedford Falls' rubes, or by some Old Man Potter from Greenwich, but a run is a run is a run.
If someone doesn't trust your balance sheet, the whole structure unwinds. It starts out as a liquidity crisis. Then it morphs into a solvency crisis. Finally it is revealed for what it is—a crisis of trust and confidence.
Is it really that simple? How could Hollywood possibly get something so much more right than the risk-meisters of Wall Street?
Yes, Virginia, it really is that simple. One thing Hollywood knows is that the true story is always about character development. The rest is just updated movie sets, hot off the street dialogue, and the latest "it" actors. But the thing that art imitates is–life. Character. Trust and confidence.
George Bailey's character development lay in realizing his power to create trust and confidence in his community.


Without debate, we need to talk about Afghanistan: Remember the longest-running war in our nation's history?
We have now concluded the presidential debates. Through three debates neither former secretary of state Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump nor any of the moderators have raised the issue of the deteriorating conditions on the ground in Afghanistan. The longest-running war in our nation's history is not even a blip on the average American's radar.
That should bother us — a lot. As the election has demonstrated, our politics are increasingly disconnected from the larger world where our nation's policies and military actions have life and death repercussions for whole nations. The issue-free zone of "Choice 2016" is all about personalities.
This week two Americans were killed in Afghanistan — one a soldier, the other a civilian. The latest deadly attack was south of Kabul. The Taliban resurgence has picked up steam in the war-torn north and south of the country.
The same day as the deadly attack on the Americans, the United Nations reported that 639 children have died and that 1,822 have been wounded since the start of this year, a 15 percent increase over the previous year.
While we are being distracted by our 2016 campaign for president people — children — are dying in the multifront global war on terrorism we launched and have no idea how to end.
The recent slaughter by the Taliban of 100 Afghan soldiers, who were in retreat, should not be ignored. This war has been a costly and deadly fraud that the U.S. corporate news media is ignoring and the two major-party candidates have yet to even mention because the truth about it is so awful.
Instead of a Pax Americana, we have a permanent state of war that is now just part of the background noise. For American teenagers born after 9/11 it has always been so. After withdrawing from Iraq and promising to leave Afghanistan, the White House is now building U.S. troops back up in both countries to counter ISIS and a resurgent Taliban that all came to pass on President Obama's watch.
The U.S. military is on the ground in Somalia on a mission that The New York Times has described as an escalating "clandestine" war. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy lobbed missiles into Yemen where we are supporting a Saudi Arabian military offensive that's come under international condemnation for its toll on civilians.
Last Sunday on "Meet the Press" Vice President Joe Biden admitted that the U.S. was overextended in the Mideast when asked about why the U.S. had not pursued a no-fly zone over Aleppo, even as it tries to help Iraqis take back Mosul. "We could not do both," Biden said, citing the advice the Obama administration had received from the Pentagon.
In the eight years that President Barack Obama has been in office, we have come full circle — only now it is a much wider circle that extends from a vast swath of Africa to the west and as far east as Afghanistan. If the strategy has been containment, it has been a spectacular failure for which there has been no accountability.
What's clear just by looking at a world map is that the way the U.S. has prosecuted the war on terror has actually proliferated it. And Biden's comments underscore the reality that we are now at a tipping point that's just not being discussed because it doesn't fit into our narrative that "we have the world's finest military" that has matters well in hand.
The spectacular collapse of the Iraqi army and the inability of the Afghan military to go it alone are testimony to what amounts to the squandering of hundreds of billions of taxpayers dollars and thousands of American lives and hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.
And we are not done yet. Even with a reduced force of close to 10,000 U.S troops in Afghanistan, U.S. taxpayers are on the hook for more than $20 billion a year. The truth is the U.S. has no endgame and President Obama just doesn't want America to lose any more territory as its permanent ward until he's out of office.
All too often, Americans are attacked by Afghans wearing the uniform of the Afghan army. Firsthand accounts of life on the front lines include vivid descriptions of Americans living in fear of being attacked by the very people they are supposed to be training. That's a sure recipe for PTSD.
This is one deadly Virginia reel you can't pin on members of the Bush clan, though they certainly deserve responsibility for getting us into this ever-widening quagmire. The news media is giving President Obama an ahistorical "do over" without holding him accountable for the very questionable last eight years.
Now it seems we are seeing an increased muscularity on display on all fronts, including cyberspace, as the president has solicited plans for a cyber attack on Russia for allegedly hacking into the Democratic Party's email. No doubt there's the creeping realization that the president has just a few months left to get some points on the board.
As we head down the home stretch of the presidential campaign and the corporate news media does its best to put the Trump genie back in the bottle, we're getting these sanctimonious riffs from the talking heads about how unprecedented the alleged Russian cyber hacking is for our pristine and inviolate democratic process.
What rock have these folks been hiding under?
We have got a bipartisan cadre of former high-ranking U.S. officials and political operatives who are now high-priced globe-trotting fixers who specialize in shaping other countries election results for fun and profit. Senator John McCain goes to Ukraine to give passionate speeches supporting the expansion of the European Union and President Obama goes to England and tells British voters how to vote on Brexit.
For decades we have been covertly and overtly manipulating other countries' elections. Whether it be our 1950s covert support of the British-engineered overthrow of Iran's democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh or our latest efforts to hack everybody on the planet, we have demonstrated that the only sovereignty we respect is our own because that's how God intended it.
At the same time in our post-9/11 reality, it is easy for the chief executive to wage war in several countries and spend hundreds of billions of dollars without any pushback. Congresspeople want nothing to do with any of it, other than to pose with soldiers in uniform and to make sure their contributors (defense contractors) get an uninterrupted flow of Uncle Sam's never-ending green gravy.
The military industrial complex is firmly on autopilot because everybody whose anybody is making a killing and the only victims are taxpayers and the nameless civilians caught in the cross fire. And what were they doing living in those countries anyway?
Our voluntary armed forces have insulated the vast majority of American households from our ongoing campaigns now that we have made killing for the country just another lifestyle choice. Contrast that with relying on universal conscription so that every family had skin in the game. No doubt, our geopolitical decisions to go lethal would then get a lot more scrutiny: You want my son to do what? Where?

The Palm Sunday story is familiar and important. All four gospels tell it. Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. People bring their palm branches and lay them on the ground as Jesus rides into the city.
If we read the Passion on this Sunday alongside the Palm Sunday reading we will hear how quickly people turn on him. The disciples meet in the upper room (in John Jesus washes the disciples' feet. In Matthew, Mark and Luke Jesus shares with them the last supper) but later abandon him; Judas betrays him; Peter denies him; the people shout 'crucify him' and after a mockery of a trial Jesus is put to death on a cross beside two criminals.
We see before our eyes that either Jesus is a complete and miserable failure; abandoned, betrayed, shamed and executed – OR – that his Kingdom is centered on sacrificial love and undeserved mercy that the powers of this world cannot contain, control or defeat.
What is your take away from this narrative?
Luke's telling of Palm Sunday (Luke 19:28-40) leaves out two familiar details we associate with Palm Sunday. There are no palm branches. There are also no shouts of 'Hosanna.' Jesus is not the restorer of Israel (at least not in the way many thought of what restoration would mean) and he did not come to start a military rebellion against Rome. While he comes to the Holy City, his revolution of sacrificial love and undeserved mercy burst out to the entire world and is inclusive of all and embracing of everyone.
When the religious leaders (the Pharisees) tell Jesus to tell his followers to stand down, he states, "I tell you, if these were silent the stones would shout out" (Luke 19:40). He weeps for the city rather than conquering it (Luke 19:41), saying, "If you, even you, had only recognized the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes" (Luke 19:42). He warns of the coming destruction of the city (Luke 19:44) which by the time Luke would have composed this story had already taken place and would be fresh in his hearers memories.
This story serves not as an ending but the very beginning of Jesus' global reach and mission (hence part 2 of Luke's story, the Acts of the Disciples). The Kingdom comes in small moments with huge implications. To another man dying on across beside him who asks Jesus to remember him in his kingdom, Jesus replies, "Today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:44). We are reminded that even when it feels like the world (or our world) is ending – his sacrificial love and undeserved mercy will endure.
What are a few takeaways from Luke's telling of Palm Sunday?
The story is neither about the Palms nor the Hosannas. Jesus enters Jerusalem not to restore Israel but to die. His weeping over the city reveals his compassion for people in he present and hi understanding of the pain that is coming. His imminent death joins the suffering of people everywhere. His Kingdom comes from Israel for all.
Disciples of Jesus are not to keep silent. Too often we make faith a private affair and/or don't want to get involved in other people's struggles. We are called to live into and share the love and mercy of God we see in Jesus with others in their pain and suffering. But be not afraid – God's Kingdom comes beside us when we fail; Christ's compassion and grace meet us even if we lose our lives in the process; and all of creation shouts especially when we don't believe we are up to the task. We are invited to join the cosmos in God's restorative mission.
The time is now. Sometimes we become so focused on our future (or think we are focused on God's future) that we miss important moments. The pharisees in this story are risk averse and worried about what might happen if Jesus presses on. The crowd prepares for a King to give them what they want. The powers play their part to maintain the status quo. The disciples are eager but fall prey to their fears. Jesus acts in the moment to bring the Kingdom to us.
As Holy Week unfolds, we move from praising to mourning, from hope to despair, from communion to isolation, from prayer to abandonment, from life to death, and from certainty to surprise.
Pay attention to the moment. See the details. Grab hold of the promise. Embrace the mystery. Enter this story fully – and take part of the Kingdom unfolding around you.

Another storm passing through southern British Columbia brought soaking rains to Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland Saturday, prompting several notable closures and cancellations.
BC Ferries cancelled a pair of sailings on its Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay route, citing adverse weather conditions. The 11 a.m. sailing departing Swartz Bay and the 1 p.m. sailing departing Tsawwassen were affected.
The ferry service also cancelled two sailings between Cortes and Quadra islands, one departing Cortes Island at 11:50 a.m. and the other departing Quadra at 1:05 p.m.
In a statement on its website, the company apologized for inconveniencing the customers affected by the cancellations.
"We don't take the decision to cancel sailings lightly, as we know customers rely on us to get to their destinations," BC Ferries said. "We will resume service as soon as it is safe to do so."
The storm prompted rainfall warnings for the coasts of Vancouver Island as well as Metro Vancouver, Howe Sound and the Fraser Valley on the mainland.
Rainfall amounts of up to 50 millimetres were expected by the evening, and localized flooding in low-lying areas was possible, according to Environment Canada.
The inclement weather also prompted the closures of Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour on Metro Vancouver's North Shore.

The opening of Ryan McGinley's new show Winter at the Team gallery should have been one in which the audience viewed his icy works just minutes after feeling the icy winter winds winding themselves into their bones. This was however, not the case. New York this November has not yet required the Michelin man like suits and woolen stockings of Prairie children. The only ice we've seen so far has been clinking in cocktail glasses.
McGinley, a photographer no longer young, but perhaps still best known for his youthful 2003 show of his friends at the Whitney. A show that paid homage to the confusion of having no clear path to follow and exploring the hedonism that comes with rampant youth. The figures he photographed were not clear; the surroundings even less so. But the atmosphere was; these were prep school punks, flannel-shirted and skateboard-riding, but with expensive Lower East Side haircuts. These were not the dispossessed and dirty; the lost children shown by Dash Snow and Nan Goldin. McGinley's dispossessed kids are drugged, puking and fighting not out of desperation, but out of a delirious sense of fun and a flamboyant distaste for the suburban homes they have recently left.
These are the images that one associates with McGinley, which is perhaps one of the few downsides of having a Whitney retrospective at 26? He is 38 now and neither he or his subjects are kids. Humans are hardly even the subjects of his new show. Creeping, violent tendrils of ice are. The humans in the shots are exposed as all the more gentle and fallible by the mighty walls of our lifeblood turned hard.
Ice is an interesting topic to focus a show on. A fairly obvious one if you consider the brutally cold New York winter last year and the popular zen for artisan ice cubes. But this is not the ice that McGinley is showing. He is portraying something closer akin to ice as not the destroyer, but the creator. His ice is not of the Titanic, but ice that provides a clean sheet; a background for hopes and dreams. His characters set against these neighborhoods of ice do not appear enfeebled and shrinking but instead in the very throes of creation, almost sexual. One woman grasping at stalactites still has her nails perfectly manicured in a very similar color to the finger-like tentacles of the ice.
Yet, McGinley's ice should not be thought of in purely metaphorical terms, because ice just as fire has the ability to create and destroy. In the parts of the world where McGinley shows his work one needs not worry about how long eggs have been in the fridge or whether you can serve ice cream to excitable children. Ice is in our freezers as part of our daily lives, making them simpler, we need not go to the market every day.
But ice can do greater things in the modern world too; consider the surgeon's use of ice. Surgeons can operate on a brain longer without the risk of brain damage or death if the brain is sufficiently cooled. McGinley shows us the juxtaposition of a frail but living woman in the ice, the ice seemingly comforting her as she bleeds. It is an image that is strong in its frailty; almost sexual is the need for ice. This is the ice that McGinley presents us in his show. Not a cruel element responsible only for old ladies slipping outside their apartment buildings but as an element that can nurture. It should be held close for some day soon, because we may need it for more than just a gin and ginger.


John calls us to be prepared for what is coming. And, by virtue of our baptism, we are.
Good News: We have been baptized and are ready.
I skipped a couple of nonessential paragraphs.
I enjoyed the way I framed the sermon. Beginning with the first part of the Gospel and then recasting it for today's world.
I am also a fan of the way this sermon works from/with last weeks. I strongly recommend listening to both.


For hard-core nerds, the talk will include a dive into the details of Operational Transformation, conflict resolution, and Visual Editor's transaction API, and describe the architecture of Mozilla's TogetherJS library. I will discuss basic mechanisms for finding collaboration partners and handling out-of-band discussion. Blue sky proposals will include integrating "circles of friends" and highlighting content contributed by your "friends", richer revision annotations to preserve multi-party authorship information, persistent site-wide chat, and real-time updates to articles without page reloads. We will consider how new-user on-ramps like the Teahouse might be reinvigorated with real-time features. Finally, we will speculate on the future of Wikipedia as a real-time community hub: where the people behind the pages are visible and available, and reading an article is interactive with the topic-focused community maintaining it.
Can't conflict with Parsoid team talk.

Reports: Virat Kohli's own interest in Team India's pack support sparkles irreconcilable circumstance
India Cricket News January 6, 2021 119Views Sports Guru

OnePlus says Nord 2 5G phone is on the way, MediaTek powered
Thread starter nanoguy
nanoguy
Something to look forward to: With the Nord series, OnePlus has made a much-needed return to its roots of offering mid-range features at a budget price. Although there are no official numbers to quantify its success, the original Nord is getting a successor in the form of the Nord 2 5G, possibly as soon as this month.
When OnePlus revealed the original Nord phone last year, it signaled that it wanted to get serious about the mid-range segment (again). The $460 OnePlus Nord looked good on paper, even if a little boring and generic from a design perspective, as well as quite fragile in most common durability tests.
Despite being restricted to Europe and India distribution at first, it eventually arrived to the US this past January as part of a wave of wallet-friendly Nord models starting at just $180.
Today, the company confirmed rumors that a successor to the Nord is on the way. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is official, although the company didn't give away all the details about upcoming new device.
OnePlus says the Nord 2 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC, so we're looking at a departure from Qualcomm's mobile platform in favor of a solution from the new largest phone chipset vendor by volume.
That said, OnePlus won't be using the standard Dimensity 1200 chipset. The company worked with MediaTek to add AI-focused enhancements that are supposed to offer improved mobile photography, better gaming performance, and even some display enhancements. The resulting chipset is called the Dimensity 1200-AI, but we'll have to wait until the Nord 2 5G lands to learn more about how this variant differs from the original.
The rumor mill says the new Nord 2 5G will also come with a high refresh rate display capable of 90 Hz, or even as high as 168 Hz. The Dimensity 1200-AI will be paired with up to 12 GB of RAM, and the battery could see a small bump in capacity to 4,500 mAh. There's even a possibility the main rear shooter will be equipped with Sony's 50-megapixel IMX766 sensor, same as the OnePlus 9 Pro.
There's no official release date yet, but according to one tipster it could happen by the end of this month. If you're excited for the Nord 2 5G, it's worth pointing out that OnePlus could be getting close to revealing its very first Android tablet as well.

Odd, symmetric to the origin.
We know that $\sin$, $\csc$, $\tan$ are odd functions, which means $f(-\theta)=-f(\theta).$ We know that $\cos$, $\sec$, are even functions, which means $f(-\theta)=f(\theta).$ We know that if a graph is symmetric to the y-axis, then the points $(a,b)$ and $(-a,b)$ will be on the graph, hence $f(-b)=f(b)$, hence this is the same as the function being even. We know that if a graph is symmetric to the origin, then the points $(a,b)$ and $(-a,-b)$ will be on the graph, hence $f(-b)=-f(b)$, hence this is the same as the function being odd. We know that if a graph is symmetric to the x-axis, then the points $(a,b)$ and $(a,-b)$ will be on the graph, but then for $a$ there are two different values, hence this cannot happen for a function. We know that for the $\tan$ function, $f(-\theta)=-f(\theta)$, hence it is odd. Therefore its graph is symmetric to the origin.


This is a cleared lot that is ready for you to build on...it has 195 ft on the water, and you have a big view & a very level lot. Located in a great cove. It is convenient to Eatonton, Milledgeville and less than one hour to Macon. Call agent.

Howard Zemsky
Empire State Development & Commissioner of the New York State Department of Economic Development
In January 2015, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo nominated Howard Zemsky to serve as President & CEO of Empire State
Development and Commissioner of the New York State Department of Economic Development. Mr. Zemsky was confirmed by the Senate on March 30, 2015.
Empire State Development, or "ESD," is the economic development agency of New York State. Mr. Zemsky and his colleagues manage a broad range of programs, incentives and services designed to increase private sector investment and job creation in New York. The organization has a staff of over 450 people located in 12 offices across the State. Howard works closely with Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul and the respective regional co-chairs to implement the Regional Economic Development Councils, the Governor' s decentralized, collaborative and strategic approach to economic development.
Howard Zemsky has co-chaired the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council during the past four years and has worked closely on the Governor' s Buffalo Billion revitalization initiative. His company, Larkin Development Group, has redeveloped approximately 1.0 million square feet of historic building space in Buffalo since 2002, with a particular focus on reclaiming Buffalo' s earliest industrial neighborhood, the Larkin Historic District.
In recent years Howard has chaired Western New York' s Transportation Authority, SUNY Buffalo State College serving over 10,000 students, and he has served as President of the Richardson Center Corporation, a non-profit board charged with rehabilitation of the Richardson and Olmsted designed former NY State Psychiatric Hospital.
Mr. Zemsky has a Bachelor' s degree from Michigan State University and a M.B.A from the University of Rochester.
He is a Brooklyn native, a product of Long Island and a resident of Buffalo where he and his wife Leslie have lived for 30 years with their 3 children.


At the recent Spikes Asia festival of creativity, J.Walter Thompson's Worldwide Chief Creative Officer Matt Eastwood took this one step further with a thought-provoking presentation on the subject of Curiosity.
Matt is one of Australia's most successful creative exports and growing up in Perth has clearly taught him to be a fast learner. He challenged the Singapore audience to consider the beauty of being the dumbest person in the room.
Curiosity, he asserted, is a natural human trait. We ask questions because we want to understand things. After all, it's how as young children we all learned about the world around us – by asking questions without fear of looking stupid.
Why is that man wearing glasses? How does that work? What's that thing? Where do babies come from?
Everything is the result of somebody asking the kind of simple questions a three year old would ask. All knowledge, says Matt, begins with ignorance.
But here's the thing. Why does curiosity stop when we get older? Is it because we're not willing to be open about what we don't know? A fear of appearing stupid?
And yet, how many times have you been in a meeting with new people and been impressed not by the person who says the most, but the one who asks the most?
This problem is compounded by the way most companies are run. The leaders expect their people to know all the answers. To make matters worse, they promote people who don't reveal their lack of knowledge. The bluffers.
Like Matt Eastwood said, it takes courage to appear stupid, or to admit to being wrong. But in my view, the ones who ask more are the ones who learn more. And those are the people who ultimately achieve more.
Matt finished his talk by imploring us to ask the challenging questions when we get back to work. Is this the best way? Why are we doing this? Have we forgotten anything?
At our agency, we've found that the best work has come from empowering everyone in our team to chase greatness, with one simple question.
Is that truly great, or is it just good?


Veronica Beard designers described their recent Fall 2019 presentation as "luxury meets lumberjack, opulence meets outdoors." To capture this theme, Kevin Hughes, Moroccanoil Artistic Director, created a look inspired by a city-chic woman who finds herself in the middle of the woods. The style is meant to embrace each woman's natural texture – straight, wavy or curly.
On damp hair, use a dime size amount of Moroccanoil Treatment or Moroccanoil Treatment Light to provide the perfect foundation for styling.
Use Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream from mid lengths to ends and blow dry using the Moroccanoil Boar Bristle Classic Brush.
Put in a center parting.
Gather the hair low at the nape of the neck and use an elastic and secure hair in a low pony tail.
Gently pull the hair above the elastic to release the top portion of the hair, creating an undone, soft feel with a beautiful profile silhouette.
Place a piece of fabric or a scarf around the elastic, double knot and create a one-sided bow.
DESIGN TIP: To add more texture to the hair, use the Moroccanoil Professional Series Titanium Curling Iron to create a slight bend throughout.

How ASP.NET began in Java, and the truth about Project Cool
October 29, 2007 onlyconnect	Leave a comment
A bit of nostalgia for you. Cast your minds back to 1999 or thereabouts. Microsoft is finishing off IIS 4.0 and there is no such thing as C# or ASP.NET. However, there are rumours that Microsoft is creating a Java-like platform codenamed "Cool", in the aftermath of a dispute with Sun that was making it impossible to use Java itself. Microsoft denies the rumours. Here's a report from February 1999:
There is no Java-like language under development at Microsoft, said Michael Risse, Microsoft's product manager for application development tools. Risse said the company is talking to developers about a concept called Cool, a much less ambitious project intended to tie Microsoft's Visual C++ development tool more closely to its COM+ middleware. However, Cool is not yet in development, and is unrelated to Java, said Risse. He said Cool is strictly a "whiteboard" concept, and that no software code connected to the concept has been written at Microsoft. Cool is also unrelated to any Java technology within the company, Risse stated. "There's no connection between Cool and Visual J++, and the Java lawsuit is irrelevant to the thinking we are doing [with Cool]," he said.
Even after C# was announced in 2000, Microsoft denied that it had anything to do with Cool:
Yesterday, Microsoft executives denied that C# was related to the rumored Cool project.
Now, over to Mark Anders, co-inventor of ASP.NET, whom I interviewed earlier this month at Adobe Max Europe. I asked Anders how ASP.NET came about.
Anders: "ASP.NET happened after we shipped IIS 4.0 and everyone went on vacation. Scott Guthrie and I – Scott worked for me at the time, he was 22 years old, straight out of college – and we took advantage of the time everyone was on vacation to start brainstorming new ideas. We looked at ASP and how it was being used. I had worked on Visual InterDev so I had a lot of friends on that team, and we were looking at the new version, I think it was Visual InterDev 6.0, and we noticed how messy the code was. We said, how can we do better? Scott and I worked for a month and a half, and then when everybody came back from vacation in January we showed them a prototype and a PowerPoint deck, showed them this vision, and people said, 'keep working on it'."
I asked whether the prototype was based on .NET from the beginning, or "Project Cool" as the rumour went?
Anders: "No, it was not. The original prototype was written in Java. I loved Java as a language and Scott did too. So it was done in Java, and we took that around to lots of different groups. The first group that we took it to was the tools team. The VB and the InterDev teams were in a feud, and when they saw our demo they liked it. They said, 'If you build that, we will target it with our tools.'
"The VB team was working on developing a new runtime, what became the Common Language Runtime. It was not as complicated as COM, and it had a nice object system, it was garbage collected. So we made a decision that we would write our thing, which at the time was called XSP, in this new runtime. So we were the first ones to commit to writing anything on it. The VB team was going to be using it as their runtime, they were doing their forms, but we actually built the whole thing in .NET.
"The funny thing is, you mention Cool. It was called Cool at one time, but Microsoft denied it. Scott and I presented what was then called ASP Plus, but we presented it a long time before anybody talked about .NET. We went to a conference, I think it was in Washington DC or something, and Scott and I were up on stage. He is doing this demo, and he says, 'Here is a directory listing'. And I glance up at the screen, and I see file1.cool, all these .cool files, and we're busy denying that there is anything called Cool, and he has this directory listing. So I was worried that somebody would see that and put two and two together… but nobody picked up on it. They had asked if they could videotape me to re-broadcast, and I'd said fine, but when I realized that the Cool screenshot was shown, I contacted them and said, 'I can't let you have that videotape', and they sent it back. So it never leaked."
All these efforts did not prevent The Register posting a story in September 2000 which describes how a reader working with early C# samples:
…discovered that the original C# compiler was called coolc, subsequently renamed as csc.exec. Elsewhere, sample C# code has the HTML tag <script language='COOL' runat='server'>, and Larry notes a couple of references to the string "C\temp\fact\factorial.cool".
So why did Microsoft deny it? I'm guessing, but maybe the company felt that 'Project Cool' was related to Java in people's minds, and wanted to emphasize that .NET was 100% Java-free. Any resemblance is purely coincidental, as novelists like to say.

Microsoft to drop price of Windows 8 licenses 70% for low-end devices, report says
By Jon Phillips
Editor-in-Chief, PCWorld |
In a bid to stave off competition in the low-end tablet and notebook market, Microsoft will be reducing what it charges device manufacturers for its Windows 8.1 licenses, according to a Friday Bloomberg report that references anonymous sources. For devices that retail for less than $250, the cost of a Windows 8.1 install will drop from $50 to $15, with no restrictions on the type or size of the hardware, Bloomberg reports.
It's a move that could inspire manufacturers to make super-low-end Windows tablets, but might have even greater impact in the notebook space, where manufacturers are moving toward sub-$250 Chromebooks running Google's free Chrome OS. Take, for example, Samsung's Chromebook 3, which retails for $230. If that machine were running Windows, a huge chunk of its build-out costs would be going to Microsoft—and the notebook probably wouldn't cost price-conscious consumers just $230.
Notebooks like the $230 Samsung Chromebook 3 are putting pressure on Microsoft at the low end of the PC market.
Windows 8 is selling poorly relative to Windows 7, with some 200 million licenses sold since Windows 8 was released in October 2012. For comparison's sake, Windows 7 sold 240 million licenses within its first year.
Obviously, the traditional PC market is losing a battle of relevance to tablets. The public's poor reaction to the Windows 8 interface doesn't help. Nor does the dearth of rock-star-caliber apps in Microsoft's Windows Store. But the currently high pricing of Windows 8 only impedes Microsoft's efforts to place Windows in inexpensive, commodity-caliber devices. Successful sub-$250 Android tablets tell us there's a market of interested consumers who don't want to spend $299 on an iPad mini.
On Friday, The Verge reported that the 70 percent price reduction is part of larger revision of licensing policy, according to anonymous sources familiar with Microsoft's plans. The most intriguing change: Microsoft would automatically boot Windows to its desktop on non-touchscreen hardware.
Score another win for traditional PC users. Microsoft is clearly getting the message.

Continuous real-time sensing and messaging are at the heart of the Internet of Things made possible by MEMS and thin film technologies. Midwest MicroDevices is a dedicated, pure-play wafer foundry providing unique, cost-effective micro-fabrication services for customers in MEMS and thin film applications.
Demand for design innovation and feature evolution has intensified. The end-use customer now demands a shift from sensor fusion to data fusion. Everything communicates with everything else in real time, and follow up activities need be set only once by human decision-making and data analysis and then not require an operator in the loop.
Midwest MicroDevices is proud to play an important role in enabling the Next Generation of wireless data fusion sensors. The capabilities for data fusion within your new products will define your role, as well as success, in the global communications network that is rapidly evolving.
For example, your refrigerator is no longer content to regulate itself at prescribed temperatures. Instead, it is networked to your HVAC and helps manage a data fusion with your local electrical energy grid. The goals are to use less power, and to use power when it is cheap, and avoid using power when it is expensive.
While you sleep at night, your HVAC system lowers your heating temperature and your refrigerator works less hard to sustain its internal targets. In the morning, before you rise, your furnace raises your home temperature to make you comfortable, but your refrigerator remains in idle mode until your home has finished warming up. When the furnace shuts off, the refrigerator comes on. You are comfortable, your food is preserved, and your electrical bill has dropped. When you leave the house, your HVAC selects a low energy thermal target, and this also enables your refrigerator to work less when electricity demand and energy charges are high.
At the power plant, the aggregate behaviors of all the community residences reduce the global warming effect of power generation.
Should you be away on a trip, and your home is uninhabited, your furnace knows that you're away, and so does your refrigerator. Both are able to reduce their consumption of electricity until you return, either by preset time and date, or by remote control from your mobile device.
While you are out of your home, a choice of security devices can monitor heat signatures and movement even in low visibility conditions, and yet eliminate false positives that would set off a security intervention protocol. Lights both outside and inside your home can turn on and off in the same patterns and timetables as when you are at home or in a random pattern, as can your home entertainment systems. The appearance of an apparent intruder can be challenged by an audio file with your voice and/or by the sound effects of defensive weapons being readied. In the event of a fire, your fire extinguisher protocols can limit fire retardant damage only to the room or rooms where the fire appears, reducing your fire loss and lowering your insurance rates.
And thanks to the Next Generation of MEMS and thin film technologies now being developed by Midwest MicroDevices of Toledo, Ohio, the Next Generation of data fusion by networked sensors will be more competitive than ever.
We can help make your data fusion device more compact yet provide greater performance for combining information from different sensor types, including Accel, Gyro, Mag, and Pressure.
Our MEMS and thin film technology can assist you to overcomes the shortcoming of the individual sensors and instead provide accurate 3D orientation — a fundamental feature on top of which the other feature demanded by the market are built.
Midwest MicroDevices can help you improve data fusion from calendars, social media, weather, traffic, vital signs and mapped routes along with other public or private data.
We can provide critical components for magnetic sensor technologies and support sensor fusion algorithms to help harness and fuse data from Earth's magnetic fields into useful military, scientific and consumer applications.
The same Midwest MicroDevices-enabled technologies can produce Next Generation products from position sensors for TALON tactical robots, to attitude heading reference systems for NOAA's deep-water buoys, to sensor fusion algorithms in mobile platforms.
But you don't need the Pentagon's budget to lead in the emerging communication and mobile markets. We will also support your development of combo-MEMS devices. MidWest MicroDevices enabled technology can deliver motion tracking in the WiiU Gamepad and support the digital compasses found in 21st century passenger cars and trucks.
Located in Toledo, Ohio, Midwest MicroDevices is located in the world's most advanced regional center for rapid prototyping. We are well equipped and well networked to support a rapid transition from R&D and design to a commercial product for your data fusion device.

AviationGraphic.com's Profile Art for the Nellis AFB Airshow.
By Tom Demerly of TACAIRNET.com
This upcoming November 12th and 13th Nellis Air Force Base Air Show outside Las Vegas, Nevada will host the final flight demonstration of the McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II, a multi-mission tactical aircraft that has served the U.S. Air Force, Marines, and Navy for 58 years. The Nellis AFB F-4 Phantom flight display will be the last time the U.S. Air Force flies the F-4 Phantom II in a demonstration, closing out 58 years of incredible history for the aircraft many people in my generation grew up with.
Aviation artist Mads Bangso of Copenhagen, Denmark has created several beautiful profile prints for AviationGraphic.com to commemorate the final flight of the Phantom, the "Phantom Pharewell" series. Two weeks ago I contacted AviationGraphic.com for several of these prints in two versions to bring to Nellis AFB with me for autographing by the last operational USAF F-4 Phantom pilots in history.
AviationGraphic.com shipped my order in flat packaging, not rolled. That makes it easy to handle the prints for framing and display. They also arrive in perfect condition.
I've been a collector of aircraft profile prints for years, with some of my collection dating back to the era before the images were computer renderings. These early images were sometimes paintings reproduced for squadron rooms at air force bases around the world. They were extremely difficult to obtain outside the military flying community.
Today advancements in printing and illustration technology along with international distribution and the ability of artists to collaborate on projects around the world more easily have made aircraft profile prints not only easier to obtain, but also better quality and more accurate.
AviationGraphic.com has fully 289 McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II prints available, representing every country that has operated the F-4 across all of its versions. It is likely the largest collection of F-4 Phantom prints anywhere in the world.
Researcher, aviation artist and expert Ugo Crisponi returned my inquiry to AviationGraphic.com and dispatched a collection of F-4 prints for the Phinal Phantom Phlight at Nellis. I received the F-4 prints, along with some other remarkable prints showcasing unique aircraft that will be at Nellis AFB, a week later via air from Italy.
Commemorating the career of (then) Col. Robin Olds and Operation Bolo, this print features his portrait along with his F-4C.
The detail in AviationGraphic.com prints is impressive, especially on aircraft with panel lines, weathering, riveting and unusual stenciling. Color rendering is also rich and accurate. Research for the images comes for both photos and from visits to many of the subject aircraft in person so artists can experience coloration, proportion and exact look of an aircraft before it is rendered. This approach provides optimal accuracy for AviationGraphic.com's over 70 contributing artists, including Ugo Crisponi and Mads Bangso.
This close-up gives some hint of the detail, color rendering and weathering effects that make these prints so accurate.
Along with the final flight of the U.S. Air Force F-4's, being flown in the QF-4E versions, many other unique aircraft available no where else in the world will be at the Nellis AFB Airshow. Nellis is the home of the Air Force's "Red Flag" combat simulation exercise, a full scale aerial combat training exercise that simulates the opening few days of an air war between countries with sophisticated air forces. The simulated combat unfolds over nearly the entire western U.S.
Since it is the annual host of the Red Flag exercise Nellis AFB is also the home of the elite 64th Aggressor Squadron, a unique Air Force unit that flies as "red force" enemy aircraft against U.S. and allied pilots training to defeat a sophisticated adversary. Artist and aviation expert Ugo Crisponi has produced some striking prints of the unique and colorful 64th Aggressor aircraft in their unusual livery.
Nellis will also host some unique Remotely Piloted Vehicle displays from the nearby Creech AFB where RPV combat missions are flown all over the world. I ordered a print of a General Atomics RQ-4 Reaper drone to take to Nellis also to see if I could get a flight crew to sign it.
Since I was ordering from AviationGraphic.com I wanted to add some unique prints of other aircraft you don't find prints of from any other source. Two of these are the ill-fated F-104N Starfighter flown by test pilot Joe Walker during the tragic mid-air collision with an XB-70 Valkyrie in June, 1966 and a relatively new print of the elite Jordanian Special Operations Command UH-60L Blackhawk helicopter used at the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) outside Amman, Jordan.
There are a number of excellent aviation profile print publishers now including the original Squadron Prints, Aircraft Profile Prints and even smaller, one man art houses like Ryan Dorling Military Litho Prints. Each one of these produce beautiful art but AviationGraphic.com has the largest variety of subjects, especially international, and the largest number of artists of any of the publishing houses. I'm thrilled to bring these prints to Nellis AFB with me in November for aircrews to autograph.

February 6, 2019 Melissa W. Rhoades News 0
The Google Play Services is one of the most important components of Google's Android operating system. What's interesting about Google Play Services is that despite being so important, most Android fans have no idea what this service does on their smartphones. Well, today we are going to clear this issue for all Android fans and present the latest update for Google Play Services that arrived today.
What Makes the Google Play Services So Important?
We previously mentioned that Google Play Services is one of the most important components of Google's operating system. Well, the reason behind this is that the Google Play Services is used to automatically update apps and games directly from the Google Play Store without ever disturbing the user.
Another vital role that Google Play Services plays in the Android ecosystem is that it automatically synchronizes contacts, email addresses, passwords and all other types of private information. This is why Google puts such a high price on this service and it keeps updating it every week.
Google Play Services 15.0.90 APK
Since Google Play Services is so important, the Android parent is making sure to update it every week. These updates don't introduce any new features or graphic changes and instead, they focus on improving the service's performances through bug fixes and software tweaks. With that said, all Android fans who want to make sure that their smartphones are running without any issues should get the new Google Play Services APK update ASAP.
Since this is an APK update that we are talking about, we have to let all Android fans know that the update is not going to roll out OTA (over the air) anytime soon. APK updates need to manually downloaded and installed from Google's official APK website.

As USC has shown, signing the top local and in-state talent is the foundation for a college powerhouse
Andy Staples
AS THE WashingtonHuskies prepared for a 2001 Rose Bowl date with Purdue at USC's practicefacility, a soon-to-be familiar figure on the west L.A. campus stood among thefew hundred spectators. Pete Carroll, the coach hired two weeks earlier toreturn the Trojans to gridiron glory, watched the Huskies and began to realizehow much recruiting work was ahead of him.
• Seven ofWashington's starters had played at high schools within 60 miles of USC.
• Meanwhile, inTempe, Ariz., Oregon State was preparing for the Fiesta Bowl with 11 starterswho had played within 110 miles of USC, including future Cincinnati Bengals ProBowl wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
• Worse,blue-chip quarterback Matt Leinart, at Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, 35 milesaway, was rethinking his verbal commitment to the Trojans in light of thefiring of coach Paul Hackett. At that moment Leinart was considering playing atOklahoma.
Carroll took thefirst step toward a SoCal recruiting hegemony by persuading Leinart to stickwith USC. Then, on national signing day in 2001, defensive end Shaun Cody, fromnearby Hacienda Heights and considered the nation's best defensive recruit,told reporters that "it came down to a gut feeling," when he pickedCarroll's Trojans over Notre Dame. Using mostly homegrown talent—tackle WinstonJustice from Long Beach (2002), tailback Reggie Bush from Spring Valley (2003)and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis from Chino (2003) included—USC won moregames (59) the past five seasons than any other Division I-A program.
And it only getsbetter for the Trojans. With national signing day looming on Feb. 4, three ofRivals.com's top 20 recruits in the nation, all whom live within 60 miles ofUSC, have verbally committed to the Trojans: quarterback Matt Barkley (MaterDei, Santa Ana), linebacker Vontaze Burfict (Centennial High, Corona) and backPatrick Hall (St. Bonaventure High, Ventura). USC also is expected to go longdistance for blue-chippers, such as receiver Alshon Jeffrey (Calhoun CountyHigh, St. Mathews, S.C.) and center John Martinez (Cottonwood Senior High, SaltLake City).
It is a priorityfor every major college coach to make his school the top choice for in-stateplayers, but for coaches like Carroll and his colleagues in the talent-richterritories of California, Florida and Texas (map, opposite), the reward fordoing so can be worth the intense recruiting effort. Not only are there fourBCS schools within each of those states fighting over the same recruits, butalso numerous programs from across the country are trying to invade those highschool football hotbeds.
Carroll and hisstaff employ an early-and-often strategy. They build up their summer camps toget players plugged into USC at a young age; Carroll first met Barkley at oneof the 2003 camps. They blanket area high schools; Bruce Rollinson, who coachedLeinart and Barkley at Mater Dei, says, "They get out. They're veryvisible. Pete does not sit around and say, 'Well, we're SC.'"
An SI study ofrecruiting data for the six BCS conferences and Notre Dame found that of thenine schools that won 50 or more games from 2004 through '08, seven signed morethan half their recruits during that span from within their state or fromwithin 200 miles of campus: Texas (93.2% from in-state, 71.8% from within 200miles), USC (72.0, 61.0), Georgia (63.6, 70.1), Florida (62.3, 47.9), OhioState (55.8, 66.3), Virginia Tech (54.3, 44.0) and LSU (50.4, 56.5). Oklahomabarely missed the cut, with 49.1% from within 200 miles. Of the 22 schools thatwon 40 or more games during that span, 16 attracted more than half theirplayers from within 200 miles or from within their state. Of the 44 schoolsthat won fewer than 40 games, only 13 met the homegrown recruitingcriteria.
The datareinforce the findings of three economists who, in 2004, designed a model topredict the college choices of sought-after recruits. That model, created byMike DuMond, Allen Lynch and Jennifer Platania—college football fans who met asPh.D. candidates at Florida State—revealed that among players considering onlyschools in BCS conferences, distance from home was the most important factor ina recruit's choice. (The report was published in the February 2008 issue of TheJournal of Sports Economics.)
"If you wantto be really cynical about it, [recruits] are not going to look at graduationrates and academics because they may not be going [to a school] for thosereasons," says DuMond. "Some probably do. But if they're going there toplay football, and that's really the only basis for their decision, they wantto go to a school that is in a BCS conference, has a big stadium and is closeenough that they can be seen by family and friends."
FOR A school in asparsely populated state such as Nebraska, which produced 43 BCS recruits overthe past five years (of whom 21 remained in-state to play for the Cornhuskers),by necessity more work is devoted to recruiting out of state, from coast tocoast even (map, opposite). Coming off his first season as Nebraska coach, BoPelini, formerly the defensive coordinator at LSU, targeted several recruits inFlorida this season. The work paid off when he landed a commitment from DeAndreByrd, a stellar defensive back from Lincoln High in Tallahassee. Nebraska alsois expected to sign five players from California, the top-rated of whom issafety Dijon Washington from Leuzinger High in the L.A. suburb of Lawndale.Says Nebraska recruiting coordinator Ted Gilmore of luring players from the SunBelt, "We have two indoor fields. We can keep them warm."
The encroachmentsby the Nebraskas, to say nothing of the Trojans' Pac-10 rivals, make the USCcoaches even more determined to defend their turf. With the 2009 class almostwrapped, they're turning their attention to recruiting the best in-stateplayers in the class of '10. The staff plans to visit each of California's1,053 football-playing high schools at least once in the next year. "Ifit's an all-girls' school, we're not going to go there," recruitingcoordinator Brennan Carroll, Pete's son and the Trojans' tight ends coach,says. "But if you're playing high school football, we'll be there."
There are oases of talent throughout the nation, butthe Sun Belt is the prime provider of BCS players
The large map is a county-by-county breakdown of whereall recruits of the BCS conference schools and Notre Dame came from for thefive classes of 2004 through '08. To boost their programs, most coaches look tothe Southern regions—especially Florida. In the five-year span, the SunshineState produced the most BCS recruits (983) and the most per capita (1 per18,645 citizens). Texas had 974 signees, and California 826. The smaller mapsillustrate how well each of the six BCS conferences harvests and protects itsrecruiting turf.

The recruiting patterns for a cross section of BCSschools
By design (USC), reputation (Notre Dame) or necessity(Nebraska), many schools recruit coast-to-coast. But as these maps reveal,others, such as Texas and Virginia Tech, are true home teams. Among BCSschools, the Longhorns signed the greatest percentage of in-state players(93.2%) from 2004 through '08.

Chinese segmentation and collocation: A platform for blended learning
Mandarin Chinese is an increasingly popular world language and object of study, and while there are numerous online character learning apps and flashcard systems, very little research has been done on inductive or autonomous learning in the realm of collocation acquisition. I propose a new Chinese implementation of a trusted corpus-based platform, currently available for English and several other languages, accompanied and enhanced by an adaptive approach to Chinese segmentation approach, whereby different ways of carving up a given sentence are selectively displayed to the learner.

Estoppel by Conduct and Election
By Mr Justice Kenneth Handley.
One of the strongest justifications for this publication remains the fact that the examined doctrine is one of the most complex areas of modern law and requires clarification, for barristers who specialise in it and solicitors or other practitioners who from time to time need guidance in this area. Estoppel precludes a person from denying the truth of a statement. There are different kinds of estoppel: by record, by deed, by representation, promissory etc. Estoppel by conduct and election examines Estoppel in its commercial context looking at the general principles as well as the particular relationships which in which estoppels can arise. It benefits greatly from an in-depth examination of underlying case law actively demonstrating how principles are dealt with in the court. COVERAGE Covers a complex area in depth, explaining the general principles and application to practice areas Written by a respected judge, an expert in this field and a proven author Covers different types of estoppel - promissory estoppel, estoppel by representation, and proprietary estoppel and by convention It examines the different relationships in which estoppel can arise, e.g. principal and agent, landlord and tenant, bailor and bailee, licensees of IP and bank and customer Inspects estoppel in different transactions from companies, insurance and insolvency Illustrates how estoppel works by in-depth analysis of case law Examines estoppel under both common law and statute Deals with procedural matters and shows how estoppel can be used as a defence New to Edition There are significant updates on the subject of Proprietary Estoppel. Including Estoppel by encouragement, Estoppel by Standing by, estoppels as an equitable cause of action, estoppels by representation etc Quasi Estoppel and Equitable defences will also be freshly examined including consent to breach of trust There will be a major update on Promissory Estoppel, including a fresh approach on The Nature of promise, knowledge of rights, intention to affect legal relations and causation
Representations. Communication. Construction of representations. Causation: inducement and change of position. Parties to an estoppel. Estoppel by deed. Estoppel by convention. Estoppels in relationships. Estoppels in transactions. Proprietary estoppel. Quasi-estoppel and equitable defences. Promissory estoppel. Election. Estoppels and election in litigation.
