This is how my mother-in-law prepares her green beans. This simple preparation really lets the natural flavor of the veggie shine. The technique is super easy and works for other vegetables such as kale, broccoli rabe, and snap peas. We usually make a ton since the veggies are always delicious the next day as well. We toss them into salads, kimchi rice pancake, or simply enjoy them as a snack.
Fill a pot with water and salt it. Warm it over high heat until it comes to a boil.
Prepare an ice bath. We like to use a huge glass measuring cup for this.
Wash the green beans and snap off the ends or trim them.
Once the water comes to a boil, add the green beans to the pot. Keep an eye on them. The should turn a bright green. Transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking once the water comes back to a boil.
Once the beans have cooled, strain and dry them. Sometimes we use a salad spinner for this task, but sometimes we just let them drain in a colander.
The green beans will be cool and crunchy! Add them to a salad or serve them as a side.


AREAS SERVED: Madison, Dane County and surrounding counties in the South Central Wisconsin area.
What led you to become a Doula?: After having 3 children of my own I understand that being pregnant and giving birth is one journey, one chapter. Homecoming is another journey, chapter 2. There are layers of support that can be available to a mother, father and family at this time and I believe in the power and benefits of this support.
I am a tender, patient and thorough caretaker. I have personal instincts aside from professional experience that can benefit both mother and child in feeling calm, at ease and cared for. I am confident in my ability to care for infants and guide new mothers in the new and beginning steps of motherhood and infancy. I care with a sincerity that helps families know I will do my best and make their needs my priority when engaged with the family.
What are your favorite pregnancy/parenting resources?: The pediatric staff at 20 South Park, Dr. Klaus Diem and Dr. Susan Ehrlich were by far the best resources for me during pregnancy and parenting. Family members of mine who have raised children in a way that I found safe, inspiring, responsible and extraordinary have also been wonderful resources for me.
What thoughts come to mind when you see a pregnant woman or brand new mom?: I think of how lucky we are as women to be given this emotional and physical responsibility of bringing a child into this world. I also immediately understand the inhibitions, potential fears and exhaustion that may be effecting the mother as well. I think of all the future gifts the mother can bring her child and always hope for the best experience for both mother and baby.
What is the best gift you can give a new mom (as a Doula)?: Support, patience, understanding and much empathy. I am focusing my studies now as a postpartum doula and understand that birthing doulas will provide other skills and resources.
What is your favorite TV show or movie?: I love the Princess Bride. It has always been my favorite.
What is your favorite place to vacation?: Eagle River, Wisconsin.
What is your favorite food?: When given a chance to order food or make whatever I want I will always order or make a stir fry with Meat or tofu and lots of rice and veggies.
What is your favorite way to spend a day off?: I love being with my 3 kids and husband reading, playing outside, going to our farm, watching movies and taking them all out to eat.
Who lives in your house?: My husband, My three kids and my sweet, old dog.

INTRALOT DISTINGUISHED FOR ITS INVESTMENT IN R&D (14/12/2010)
INTRALOT Group was included in the '2010 EU Industrial Research & Development Investment Scoreboard' prepared and published by the European Commission, because of the significant capital invested by the company in Research and Development (R&D) during the previous year.
This important ranking ratifies INTRALOT'scontinuous commitment to invest in Research and Development. Viewing R&D as an integral part of its core corporate philosophy anda powerful source of growth, INTRALOT has been investing an average of 10% of its technology sales in Research and Development providing the lottery industry with innovative and pioneering technological solutions, thus becoming the leader of the global lottery market. INTRALOT has established in-house R&D facilities in Europe, Asia and the US, thus, leveraging its operations and creating economies of scale.
This year's Scoreboard shows that, despite prevailing economic circumstances, R&D investment remains an important strategic priority for top firms worldwide. The Scoreboard shows that R&D investment by top EU companies fell only by 2.6% in 2009, even though sales and profits dropped much more, by 10.1% and 21.0% respectively. The decrease in R&D investment by leading players in the US, at 5.1%, was twice as sharp as in the EU, but the worldwide reduction was lower, standing at 1.9%. Japanese firms maintained their level of investment. Companies based elsewhere in Asia (China, India, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan) continued the high R&D growth seen in previous years.
The EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard is published annually by the European Commission and ranks the world's top 1,400 companies (400 from the EU and 1,000 from the rest of the World) according to the level of their investments in R&D. It measures the total value of their global R&D investment, irrespective of the location where the relevant R&D takes place.

"Forget the forensic audit report into Cashgate looting, it wasn't for you," govt. says.
Maybe we are illiterate, maybe it is in the same spirit that the President said that most of her cabinet ministers cannot operate a computer, but the Malawi government has come in the open to tell off the Malawian public on accessing the forensic audit report into the Cashgate scandal.
Speaking to the press, Minister of Information, Evangelist Brown Mpinganjira, and Minister of Finance, Maxwell Mkwezalamba, said that the report was not meant for Malawians but the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and, therefore, Malawians should not bother themselves pressuring the government to access the report because it just will not happen.
"The report was for the IMF and they will be using it for their review meeting to be held next week," Mkwezalamba has been quoted as saying.
While the money that was stolen, in a mafia style, from the Capitol hill coffers also belonged to the Malawian tax-payer, government has decided to not be answerable to the Malawian populace.
YotsatiraMeet Peter Mutharika's daughter…can she be the reason he is in the US?
The statements from the two ministers confirm why our president is arrogant to citizens. Due poverty in Malawi, leaders do not respect the citizens but donors. In this case, the tripartite election is only meant to legitimise the plunder of state assets. How can a report for a sovereign state be sent to foreigners before citizens see it.
Can it work along with VI3? Many of us havent improved confirmed.

Author donates book profits to MassEquality
by Laura Kiritsy .
As the mother of a gay son and a committed MassEquality volunteer, author Suzanne Brockmann has supported equal marriage rights by knocking on doors, making phone calls and braving the elements to campaign for pro-equality legislators. But she knew there was more she could be doing to support the cause.
"That's not my strength," Brockmann said of grassroots campaigning. "My strength is in writing. So it just really felt like, what can I do? I can write a book."
So Brockmann, a best-selling romance novelist with 43 titles to her credit, decided to pen a Holiday Novella - a popular subgenre of romance novels - and dedicate it to MassEquality. More importantly, she's donating all of her earnings from the book, titled All Through the Night, to the organization. The book, which only hit the shelves on Oct. 30, has already netted more than $250,000 for MassEquality, through Brockmann's advance and the sale of rights to an audio version of the book.
Not surprisingly, All Through the Night, which is the latest in Brockmann's "Troubleshooters" series of romantic thrillers, features the wedding of a same-sex couple: Recurring characters Jules, an FBI agent, and Hollywood heartthrob Robin, finally get hitched after a fraught story arc that Brockmann confessed she had hoped to continue for a bit longer. But just like love, Brockmann's characters can be unruly. "Robin mutinied," she explained of her foiled scheme to keep the lovers apart in her last book, Force of Nature. "You gotta let the characters drive the story. You can't force them to do something."
Brockmann, a Waltham resident, said she is thankful that she was able to write a fantasy story about a same-sex wedding that actually reflects reality. "It was a joy to write," she said of All Through the Night, which is set in Boston. "I love these characters." She noted that for many years she hesitated to put the character of Jules into a committed romance, as there was no promise of the "happily ever after" symbolized in romance novels by a wedding. Often she asked herself, "Am I going to really write a story for Jules and say, 'Oh well, you know what, Jules, you can't get married; you're gay,'" said Brockmann. "I just didn't want to do that. And when finally Massachusetts became the state where marriage was legal, the wheels started turning in my head. It all lined up perfectly."

Public bodies balance virus fears, Open Meetings Act
Gregg Krupa George Hunter Mike Martindale
In a time of coronavirus, keeping government open bumps into the priority of public safety.
Governmental bodies in the state are navigating the conflict with a series of arrangements: delaying meetings, separating chairs and bending, for the time being, provisions of the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
Some meetings are not scheduled for a few weeks, affording postponement of tough decisions about how to proceed. In other instances, public bodies are canceling meetings — and facing objections from open government advocates.
Detroit police commissioner Willie Burton said he plans to go to Public Safety Headquarters at 3 p.m. Thursday, the usual place and time for weekly board meetings, to protest board chair Lisa Carter's decision to suspend the meetings for two weeks.
"I'm showing up, and here's why: we can't let fear hold us hostage, and we must protect our civil liberties," Burton said. "This motion was not voted on, and it's a violation of the Open Meetings Act."
Carter said she canceled the meetings because of health concerns.
"Governor Whitmer declared a state of emergency and the White House has recommended that people not meet in groups of more than 10 people," Carter said in a statement. "Given the serious nature of the coronavirus pandemic, most logical people would agree that we follow these recommendations to limit the spread of the virus.
"We will not put any lives in jeopardy, including the residents of the city of Detroit, members of the BOPC, DPD and staff," Carter said. "I encourage everyone to think logically. Think about your health as well as the health of other ... follow the recommendations of the professionals. Stay home."
Burton said most board meetings attract only a handful of citizens, so holding them wouldn't likely violate Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's ban on gatherings of more than 50 people.
"We are in a national crisis, and people want to be able to have access to their commissioners," Burton said. "It's not right to just cancel the meetings like this, without even voting on it."
Last week, Whitmer issued a directive on the Open Meetings Act, for all state departments, agencies and commissions, with the advice that local governments seek their own legal counsel.
Many are abiding by the governor's directive to consider postponing meetings that can be delayed and providing adequate notice and access for all participants for meetings that must occur as scheduled.
"This could include remote participation by conference call, real-time streaming, or other platforms, so long as public access and participation is preserved," the governor directed.
Some public bodies are taking that direction.
"Due to the technology that we have in Macomb County and with the governor's declaration regarding the Open Meetings Act we are able to act virtually," said Courtney Flynn, a spokeswoman for the Macomb County Board of Commissioners. "So we are putting those measures in place just to act safely."
The Macomb County commissioners are holding a special full board meeting at 3 p.m. Wednesday to extend an emergency declaration ordered Saturday by County Executive Mark Hackel. The meeting, which could include some members participating remotely, will be webcast.
In the county, and around Metro Detroit and the state, officials said they intended to use technology, social media and old media to provide remote access to participation in meetings by both officials and the public, including tools like email, Skype, YouTube and cable TV.
Commissioners and the public will be able to access the meeting by visiting https://meet.google.com/qaz-vkhe-pei or calling 1-505-738-2315 and entering this PIN: 612 318 489#.
In Macomb County, under the board of commissioners, an Adult Advisory Committee meeting was canceled, and two committee meetings next week were rescheduled as part of the next full board meeting March 26.
The county intends for that meeting to occur "in person" but is exploring ways to hold it virtually if necessary, Flynn said.
"We are also in the process of creating an agenda to hold a virtual meeting this Thursday to extend the state of emergency in the county," she said. "Commissioners can come in. They can use their devices in their offices if needed.
"And we're also going to have a call-in number for the public to call in to listen and to participate as well, as well as staff and commissioners who may not be able to make it."
Legal requirements such as holding a minimum number of meetings per month are forcing decisions.
In an effort to comply with Whitmer's executive order and health officials' recommendations regarding social distancing, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners planned to meet remotely Wednesday evening via the internet. Asked who would be in the meeting room, board Chairman David Woodward said, "Probably just me."
The public can view meetings through the real-time webcast on the board's homepage at www.oakgov.com/boc. It also will contain an online public comment submission portal, according to Woodward.
"We have run this by our legal counsel and it conforms with the Open Meetings Act and does not violate any laws," Woodward said.
Woodward, D-Royal Oak, said the agenda will include old and new business, including his effort to seek approval to spend $1 million to carry out Whitmer's order and to safeguard the county's 1.2 million residents, businesses and visitors.
"Some commissioners have expressed some concerns about public meetings because of personal health reasons," Woodward said. "This should help make everyone comfortable as we continue to conduct important county business moving forward."
"What we're really trying to do is provide more avenues for folks that want to provide input, comments through electronic, whether it's email or chat room functions. So, we're exploring that and putting something on our website.
"We have a webcast, live feed that we do already."
Commissioners will have access to video teleconferencing for voting and participation. "Some will be here in person and some will be video conferencing; the first time we've done it," he said.
In Wayne County, a full board of commissioners meeting slate scheduled for this week has been postponed to April 2, despite a legal requirement to meet twice per month. But that could change.
"Everything is so fluid," said Commissioner Alisha Bell, the chairwoman. "If we can, if we are allowed to, we are just taking it week by week.
"This would obviously be outside of the requirement. But, given the uncharted territory we are in, right now, I think we'll be OK to push it back to the 2nd of April."
Bell said the prospective agenda for the second meeting of March was examined closely for any items that might require action, with an eye toward action by the county executive, if required. But no such matters are pending, she said.
Online access to the commissioners meetings is being explored, she said. "I am hopeful we will have somethings worked out for the 2nd," Bell said.
"A big thing is getting done what needs to be done. But of course, the biggest thing is the safety of all our employees and commissioners and the public. So whatever we do to make sure we are abiding by that, to keep everyone safe, is of utmost importance."
In Livonia, no meetings are canceled.
But City Clerk Susan Nash ample consideration is being given to how to keep people safe and government accessible, amid often fluid considerations.
"As of this time, right now, and I mean 2:32 in the afternoon (Monday), I know of no meetings that are canceled," she said, chuckling.
"We have a council meeting scheduled for next Monday. Our charter says that we are supposed to have two voting meetings a month. So you have your charter issues and the Open Meetings Act. And someone said, can it be online? Can we Skype in? And the question was, then what happens to the open meetings?"
"And,someone said, well people can email in. But then, that might not happen until after a vote is taken."
Nash said the city will continue to weigh issues, while planning to keep meetings open, while staying current with public health needs amid the coronavirus.
Because, especially at the local level, government is important to someone, she said.
"There is not an issue in particular," Nash said. "It could be about a dog or a petition for an open party. But sometimes we get people that complain — you never know."
In Plymouth, the City Commission and liquor license review committees met Monday, as publicly announced.
"In Plymouth, we're on as scheduled," City Manager Paul Sincock said.
"We've retrofitted our room a little bit to spread the seats out a bit and the elected officials out a bit," he said.
"We have an email blast when we send the agenda out. We said, look, it's going to be on TV Tuesday. Just wait for that.
"But it's open."
In Birmingham, all city board and committee meetings have been canceled through April 5, when the cancellations will be reconsidered.
The City Commission meeting March 23 is required by charter, but the meeting has been postponed, and the city announced that remote access technologies "are being explored that could allow for effective meetings under the Michigan Open Meetings Act."
Sterling Heights was to conduct its regularly scheduled City Council meeting Tuesday by phone, under provisions of an emergency declaration and Whitmer's directive, said Melanie Davis, the city's community relations director.
"Due to this change, the council meeting will be abbreviated and is expected to last approximately 15 minutes," Davis said.
The agenda is published at sterling-heights.net and residents can listen to the meeting live at sterling-heights.net/shtvlive or on local cable channels 5, 10 or 99.
Residents who have comments can email them to cityhall@sterling-heights.net, and the comments will be including in the minutes of the meeting.
In Shelby Township, the board of trustees also planned to meet, as usual, at 7 p.m., Tuesday, but citing the governor's executive order, said the meeting room would be closed to the public.
The trustees and Planning Commission meetings were to be televised on Shelby TV channels 4, 10 or 99. Trustees meetings will stream live at shelbytwp.org/online_services at the "Watch Board of Trustees' meeting online" link.
Public comments can be emailed to Township Clerk Stanley Grot at meeting@shelbytwp.org before and during meetings. They may also be submitted by phone by calling township attorney Rob Huth at (586) 412-4900.
Residents can view the March 17 board of trustees' agenda at shelbytwp.org/board_of_trustees at the "Board of Trustees' meeting agendas" link.
Before Whitmer issued the directive, Huth had called for amending the Michigan Open Meetings Act to provide for temporary virtual participation, which some county and municipal governments are putting into place.
"I'm glad the governor responded quickly and when time puts pressure to get things done quickly, sometimes there's a thought that things could be done differently," Huth said. "So I guess as time goes by, we can think about amending it."
"But it gives the townships and cities good direction, so committees are able to go forward and get to the business that needs to be done."
Emily Guerrant, a spokeswoman for Michigan State University, said the regularly scheduled meeting of the board of trustees for April 16 is canceled "as of today."
"We do have another board meeting scheduled in June, and we're evaluating whether to roll the agenda items into the June meeting or if a special meeting would be needed in between," she said.
"We're also exploring the types of technology that can be used for the meetings and still honor public participation and transparency."
The University of Michigan Board of Regents will have its March 26 meeting, but that will be conducted virtually, with the regents not physically present.
"The public will be able to listen to the meeting and participate in public comments, although the precise details on how that will work are still being worked out," said spokesman Rick Fitzgerald.

Dead Heist (2007)
Looking at the DVD cover, I was prepared to mock this film mercilessly, but it turns out that Dead Heist is the opposite of those direct-to-video dregs that spend three-quarters of their budget on snazzy cover art in order to suck you in and waste two hours of your life, offending you sensibilities and making you question humanity as a whole: WHY, GOD, WHY DID I RENT THIS HERETICAL ABERRATION OF NATURE?!?! Instead, Dead Heist slaps together Photoshop artwork but releases a surprisingly engaging product. (Granted, the title could use some work; I'd vote for Freaks Come Out at Night.)
D.J. Naylor, sporting the build and ambiguous racial identity of Vin Diesel, stars as Jackson, a bodyguard for Bone Crusher (played by, um, Bone Crusher), who's weary of "the game" but has to pull the ever-elusive "one last job" for bossman Hustle (E-40, pushing the portly rapper quotient dangerously close to Urban Menace territory). The "job" is to oversee the robbery of a small-town bank by a quartet of punk kids: Malcolm (Dominic Santana), Bone (Chris Bailey), Trey (Michael Braxton), and the gang's hothead leader Ski (Brandon Hardin), whose brilliant plan of action is "We go in, we go out." What could possibly go wrong?
Well, for one thing, they're flippin' idiots. For another, they've chosen the night when a horde of genetically altered zombie/vampire-type beasties happen to be running through town. The good news for the robbers is that they're no longer barricaded inside the bank with a bunch of cops outside. The bad news is that they're now barricaded inside the bank with a bunch of genetically altered zombie/vampire-type beasties outside.
But have no fear, Big Daddy Kane is here! Still struggling to live down his appearance in Madonna's Sex book, BDK — who remains nameless in the film — swoops in as an ex-military official who worked on the experiment that created the monsters. It seems that the government was trying to create artificial blood but ended up turning the test subjects into…things who travel in packs like zombies but only come out at night like vampires and can only be killed by a bullet through the heart, like Abraham Lincoln. They're sort of like 28 Days Later zombies: all pissed-off and runny.
So, it's up to the bank robbers and the bank hostages, including a female cop named Kate (credited as T-Love) to team up and fight for their lives. Luckily, the irritating punk kids aren't the heroes, so they don't have to survive. Naylor, meanwhile, displays a likable confidence as the star, even if his girlish Mike Tyson voice and engorged nipples prove distracting. And Big Daddy Kane is surprisingly effective; easily his best work since, um…Posse? In fact, the whole cast does a fine job in a production that's a cut above typical DTV horror and miles above typical "urban" DTV horror.
The direction, story, make-up, and setting (an actual bank and not the assistant director's apartment) are all solid. There's even enough of a budget for a respectable throng of zombies (easily 100-plus). Dead Heist could've had a few more plot twists — particularly with a running time of less than 80 minutes — but as anyone who's suffered through a glut of other do-it-yourself zombie fare can attest, it's better to leave 'em wanting more than pleading for less.
"It's called male pattern lactation. Look it up."
"I think I'm blind. Or asleep. We'll see how it turns out."
Michael McDonald was shocked at how filthy the window was.
"You'll have to speak up; I'm wearing a sweatband."
"Oh, hi!…I was just, um, cleaning up. Craziest thing: someone left all these…bodies lying around…and this knife…in my hand…with my fingerprints…maybe a bit of my saliva…and I'm pretty sure there's a security tape around here that looks pretty incriminating, too, but, well, you know how all us white girls look alike, am I right? Fellas?"

In a surprising development, Megyn Kelly said something racist on NBC today. And of course, by that we mean it's surprising it took her this long. Of course she adamantly thinks it's fine for white people to dress up in blackface, as she argued on-air today. This is the same Megyn Kelly who once insisted on Fox News that Jesus Christ and Santa Claus had to be white, seemingly unaware that Christ definitely was not white, and Santa definitely was not real. So why didn't NBC see this coming?
The short answer is that NBC probably did see this coming, at least this part of it. Megyn Kelly consistently produced strong ratings on Fox News, and NBC must have concluded that she could do the same on its network. If she could be profitable to NBC for a few years, then hey, so what if she eventually said something horrible that brought the whole thing crashing down? After all, profit margins and the resulting executive bonuses are about this year, not about next year, or the year after. These things are always, sadly, about money.
The only surprising thing here is that NBC didn't realize Megyn Kelly was going to be a ratings flop. By any measure, she's not producing results no matter what time slot or format they move her to, and she's turned out to be a money-losing investment for the network. She was always one of the smarter and more capable people on Fox News, but that's an incredibly low standard to begin with. There's a reason that when once-popular TV news personalities start to become less viable (Lou Dobbs, Geraldo Rivera), they always move to Fox News, and not the other way around. Kelly was an all-star in the Fox gutter, but she's subpar by real world standards, and NBC is learning that the hard way.
The mere act of writing about Megyn Kelly always ends up being uniquely controversial. Some liberals always tell me I'm being too kind to Kelly when I defend her against Donald Trump's sexist attacks. A few other liberals always tell me I'm being sexist when I point out that Kelly is a bad person who's bad at her job. But both those things – her status as a victim of sexism, and her status as a dishonest and racist person – can both be simultaneously true. In any case, you have to wonder how much longer before NBC seeks to buy its way out of Megyn Kelly's massive contract. She may have just handed them the excuse they've been cynically looking for.


At Burlington Danes we are proud to be part of the local west London community.
Our community relations are symbiotic - we seek to serve and enrich our community while at the same time bringing expertise from the community into BDA to enrich the education of our students.
We invite senior citizens from the local community to BDA for a festive afternoon of song and dance. A Christmas buffet warms the spirits, before a raffle, bingo and a traditional dance. An event not to be missed for our more seasoned neighbours!
Reception becomes a holding station for hundreds of festive goodies each December as students and staff bring presents to distribute to the local community.
Once a year we suspend the timetable for two days for students to work in cross-curricular teams researching the local area.
Our annual fundraising extravaganza raises thousands for community causes in W12 and beyond.
The internationally renowned media corporation makes regular visits to BDA, whether it be to interview our students for a news item or to run journalism workshops with our gifted and talented students. Groups of students are regularly invited to Television Centre just down the road on Wood Lane for tours and study sessions.
Our local football club have an award winning community development team. They support us with their early morning Inspire Football sessions and regular study skills sessions in their educational facilities at Loftus Road Stadium.

Anchiornithidae ("anchiornitidi") je dávno vyhynulá čeleď malých opeřených teropodních dinosaurů (klad Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves).

Charakteristika
Tito ptákům podobní a vývojově příbuzní teropodi žili v období střední jury až spodní křídy (zhruba před 165 až 122 miliony let) zejména na území dnešní Číny, ale také Evropy (rod Ostromia z Německa). Ačkoliv byli dříve řazeni do některých jiných skupin teropodních dinosaurů (například mezi troodontidy), podle novějších výzkumů představují samostatnou čeleď, která stojí blízko vývojovým počátkům pravých ptáků.

Není jisté, zda do této skupiny patří také "prapták" Archaeopteryx, pravděpodobně je ale zástupcem jiné vývojiové linie maniraptorních teropodních dinosaurů.

Zástupci
 Anchiornis
 Aurornis
 Caihong
 Eosinopteryx
 Ostromia
 Pedopenna
 Serikornis
 Xiaotingia

Resources / Building Law Reports – Part 2 [2022] now published
Part 2 of the Building Law Reports covers the following key judgments:
RUSHBOND PLC v THE JS DESIGN PARTNERSHIP LLP
CDE v NOP
NAYLOR AND OTHERS v ROAMQUEST LTD AND ANOTHER
FAIRGROVE HOMES LTD v MONUMENT TWO LTD
Introduction to the Building Law Reports Part 2 [2022]
The scope of duties of care in construction-type claims was addressed by the Court of Appeal in Rushbond Plc v the JS Design Partnership LLP. The case related to damage to the appellant's disused cinema property, caused by an intruder who allegedly gained access as a result of alleged negligence of the respondent. It involved allegations of tortious "omissions" on the part of the respondent's architect who, visiting the premises for about an hour, allegedly left the entrance door unlocked, it then being alleged that the intruder entered and started a fire. The case was struck out at first instance. The Court of Appeal reversed that decision. "Pure" omissions do not attract liability unless there is an assumption of responsibility by the alleged omitting party or that party carelessly causes or permits that danger to arise. Coulson LJ held that it was an untenable proposition that the architect in question did not owe a duty of care to the claimant to take reasonable precautions as to security.
The Court of Appeal in CDE v NOP addressed the tension between the general requirement that all court hearings should be in public and the agreed confidentiality applicable to arbitrations in general and to arbitration awards in particular. The case involved an arbitration award against a company whose directors or shareholders were sued by the successful arbitration claimant in the Commercial Court on the basis that they were in effect bound by the award or that it would be an abuse of process for them to assert that they were not so bound. Although CPR 62.10 states that CPR 39.2, which requires as a matter of generality that all court hearings to be in public (subject to exceptions), was not applicable, the first instance judge had ruled that the Case Management Conference should be heard in private because the award and some extent its contents would need to be referred to. The judge's decision was in substance upheld on appeal with the first instance judge being left to decide whether the later substantive hearing should be in private.
Naylor and Others v Roamquest Ltd and Another involved consideration by the TCC of an application to amend Particulars of Claim to overcome arguments that had been mounted by the defendants in support of an earlier strike out application. The judgment shows the extent to which challenges to amendments should not be made. For instance, challenges that are dependent on which side's expert is right will not prevent permission to amend being given, although amendments which have no real prospect of success will be refused.
Many cases that have settled involve the use of what has for many years been called a Tomlin Order which, apart from recording the terms of the settlement, leaves the court with a residual discretion to enforce the agreed terms. In Fairgrove Homes Ltd v Monument Two Ltd the background was an adjudication decision which the claimant had sought to enforce. Enforcement proceedings were settled on the basis of the Tomlin Order involving payment of an amount in into an escrow account, the amount to be paid out to the claimant unless within four months the other party had commenced Part 8 proceedings challenging the substantive basis of the adjudicator's decision. The court exercised its supervisory jurisdiction in relation to the Tomlin order, applying orthodox principles of interpretation, determining that the defendant had not commenced the specified Part 8 proceedings within the 120 days such that the amount in question should be paid.
On the BLR Plus series (which can be found at http://www.i-law.com) we cover Access for Living v London Borough of Lewisham, a public procurement case in the TCC which is now the main court in which such cases are brought. It involved an issue as to whether the unsuccessful tenderer's proceedings had been issued within the 30 days when it "first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen". Previous TCC decisions (Mermec and Cityprint) had set the basis upon which applications for extension of this 30-day period will be allowed, the regulations requiring that there has to be a "good reason". There was here no good reason. The fact that only a short extension was required was not relevant. The fact that the applicant had misunderstood what started time running was not a good reason. The merits of the underlying challenge will usually, at least, be irrelevant to any extension application.

When Milo opened the window more students poured in. Not long after, there were 40 of them, in a room built for 20. Don't be a lazy bird. When the lightning struck, the computer was fried, the projector was intact, but there was nothing to project. End of lesson. No more Animal Farm. Here, said Jonathan, take your shoes off. They found a damp towel together. But it was too late, his shoes were already submerged. It would take two days to dry them.When your feet are wet it's hard to warm your body. If the river has overflown its banks, it is best to wade barefoot. If you climb on the fence it brings the lightning closer. The lightning hit the tree and then there was fire.
The bus stop was dark and street was dark but now and again a car would shine the lights and it was less dark, but still relatively dark. Don Whiskers wondered if the bus would arrive, and if so when. It was the eternal question. His toes were wrinkling inside his wet shoes. The faces in the holes were egg shaped. At the busstop a strappling young woman, with garters and a snake. They make eye contact, briefly, then back to looking down the street for the bus. The bus stop makes everyone anxious, storm or no storm. Will it come and when and if. Suddenly the sky opened into an egg yolk.

What's the best and worse part about being your own boss?
I have found that there are so many more benefits than challenges. I was a psychologist for 26 years and was looking for a way to be able to retire from that career. I chose network marketing because it is a way to create residual income, income that keeps coming even when you aren't working. I can set my own schedule, work in my pajamas and build on line. I now have time to pursue my art career again, something I couldn't do when I was working.
I have always been an entrepreneur and started my first business when I was 21. This was designing wedding invitations and adoption announcements. I didn't know anything about business so it was a huge learning experience for me. The biggest thing I learned was gaining knowledge about finding the best resources and negotiating the best prices. During that time I applied to be in the New York Stationary show which was a huge step in getting exposure. When they saw my work they offered me an exhibit space even though there was already a long waiting list. I also learned how to have confidence in my skills as an artist and business woman. It was foundational learning that has helped me become the business woman I am today.
Was it hard to go back to school and major in something completely different than what you were used to?
Returning to school and getting my psychology degree was the hardest thing I had ever done. I went back to school a month after leaving my ex-husband, partly because I believed I needed to get "a real" job and was afraid I wouldn't have steady income from my graphics business to support myself and my two children. I came into psychology through art therapy so there was a natural transition. I was enrolled in a masters degree program, worked 3 jobs, one of them being my own business, and took care of my children who were 5 and 9 at the beginning. There were times when I would come home and there was nothing left to give to the kids. I was determined to graduate because I knew it would benefit us to do so. Ultimately I had to let my business go so I could work full time and that was very sad for me.
Did you ever have any doubts about what you were doing? And, how did you overcome them?
I have had a lot of doubts a long the way. I don't think I would have been human if I hadn't. I believe it is normal when you are starting your own business to have doubts. There are stressful times when you are in business for yourself and being a single parent like I was, I didn't have a partner to bounce things off of our take over when I was stressed out. When I started with It Works! Global, I was one of the first 4 distributors in our area, selling a product that was hard for people to believe. When I told them I had a small body wrap that would cause them to slim down in 45 minutes, many people were in disbelief.
The thing that kept me going was my strong belief in the product and confidence in myself. Someone told me early on, and I would say the same thing to anyone, "Don't quit!" The only thing between you and success is quitting. I feel it is key not to compare yourself to others in the same field or in the same business. Everyone's journey is unique and success comes at different times and in different ways for everyone.
How did you get the idea for Angry Animals?
Angry Animals was divinely inspired. One day the whole concept just dropped into my mind and I created it in a couple of hours. It came to me so easily that I wasn't sure it would have any value. That was 24 years ago. I created the first 500 games myself with a small loan from a friend. I had all of the pieces made and myself and my two children put them together. This was before the Internet so I went to the library and researched addresses for psychologists and teachers around the country and did a mass mailing. Each of the games sold for $30.00 so over time I made $15,000 from the sales. The Internet has made it so much easier to market our products! I sold the exclusive rights to publish the game to a publisher and it became a best seller and has been from the beginning. It is in its second version and is now in Spanish too. I guess I was wrong about it having value!
In hindsight, would you have changed any business decisions you made in the past?
Even things that might not have been successful have taught me so much about business and about myself that I would not change a thing!
Do you think being an entrepreneur is easier now because of the Internet?
Like I send in question 6, the Internet has made it so much easier to be an entrepreneur and build a business presence. We are able to make connections all over the world that wouldn't have been possible before. Even with so many new forms of social media and the learning curve it takes to understand them we have so many choices. We can pick ways they fit our personal style, such as Pinterest and Instagram for people who are more visual, Facebook for those who want community, and twitter for those who want speed.
What advice can you give young women trying to start their own business?
Surround yourself with like minded people who will support what you are doing. Know who those individuals are that might try to discourage you and don't go to them for advice. You might also want to get a mentor or business coach, depending on what kind of business you are trying to create. In network marketing and direct sales there are always mentors in your upline who are willing to coach you to success.
I would tell my younger self to get over myself, not to take things too seriously, and have fun, and that in itself will attract to you want you want. When we are worried and stressed out it contracts our energy field and we are not going to attract what we are looking for. It is easy to feel pressure both internally and externally to get the next sale, find the next business partner, make the next promotion, and make a certain amount of money. When we get caught up in that energy we are not open or magnetic to all the possibilities that might be around the next corner, and in fact we will attract exactly what we don't want to attract.
I use to get caught up in getting to the next promotional level and feeling bad when I didn't. This year at our annual convention I received recognition for being one of the TOP 100 income earners in the company out of 40,000 distributors. This came as a surprise to me and it showed me that it doesn't matter if I get to the promotional levels, there are other rewards that come naturally when you aren't trying.
How do you use the Law of Attraction in your life?
The Law of Attraction is a natural part of how I live these days. I know that my thoughts create my reality and if things are not going the way I want to I need to look at what I am thinking about. When I am in the flow my business grows in natural ways. I can set intentions and see them happen almost immediately. When I am just having fun, not having expectations and hanging out in the magic enjoying the journey everything I desire and more comes true and magic happens. People call me out of the blue, or go on my website and place orders and I don't have to think about how I am going to make that happen.
My goals for the future are to continue to grow a successful business as I grow myself. I also want to spend more time traveling and painting which are both passions of mine. I want to leave a legacy for my children and grandson.
How do you try to inspire and influence other women?
I inspire other women in a couple of ways. I now have a team of 18,000 people in my It Works business, 3000 of them are distributors so I try to lead and inspire them on a daily basis through phone calls, emails, and our Facebook groups. I also lead by example which I feel is really important.
About five years ago I created a networking group for business women in my area called Magnetic Business Women. My intention was to give women a place to network with other women and build relationships. I believe that the best way to build a strong foundation for your business is to build relationships. People buy people, they don't buy products and services. They want to buy from people they know and trust. This group allows women to make those kinds of connections. This group has over 1000 members, which far exceeds my vision for it. I often tell the group that I want to see every woman become a millionaire or to achieve the kind of success they desire, and I will support that vision for all the women I come in contact with.

While visiting Chelsea, Luci visits the bathroom where she finds a large package of toilet paper rolls. Being in need of some at her home, she decides to 'borrow' a roll without asking. When it's time for Luci to go home, Chelsea notices the roll of paper, hanging from Luci's purse. 'Why would you do that? Why not just ask?' Naughty Luci. It's time for a spanking! It's a hearty hand spanking that Luci gets, leaving her bottom hot and red!

Reflection and remembrance: a walk around our memorial gardens
Emily Knight
We don't want to tempt fate, but there are signs that spring is well on its way. So what better time to look around our memorial gardens and explore their journey from concept to realisation?
The memorial gardens have been central to the Centre's vision and aims since it opened in 1995. Consisting of statues, rose gardens and a water feature, the memorial gardens offer a peaceful space for visitors to sit and reflect.
Each year the gardens are enveloped with the scent of just under 1,000 Margaret Merril roses. Chosen partly for their beautiful fragrance, the white roses also symbolise purity and innocence. In Behind the Rose co-founder Dr James Smith explains the purpose of the rose garden:
"As we built the Holocaust Centre, Stephen and I were concerned that the pictures we used in the exhibition of starving prisoners with no names in striped uniforms behind barbed wire just continue to dehumanise the victims.
So the idea of the Rose Gardens at the Holocaust Centre was born. We expected a hundred or so roses to be planted. Today, there are nearly one thousand highly scented white roses growing in the grounds of the Holocaust Centre, many of them dedicated by Holocaust survivors and their families. Each rose has an inscribed plaque helping visitors, mostly schoolchildren, to understand that the victims are not just a catalogue of statistics but human beings, with names."
The gardens are planted with over 1,000 Margaret Merril roses.
The concept of the rose garden is, therefore, unique. Rather than being purely academic or historical, the gardens are shaped by the stories and identities of Holocaust victims. As a result, the rose garden is not just a place of memorial but a place for victims to be remembered as individuals, humans, rather than statistics. Mike and Christine Hogg planted a rose in memory of Mike's grandmother Malie, who was murdered in Treblinka. Speaking on what the rose means to them, they said 'planting a rose for Malie helped to give her back her identity'.
In addition to the roses the gardens also house a number of memorial statues. 'Abandoned' was designed and created by Czech survivor Naomi Blake who, as a child, was interned at Auschwitz, where many of her family were murdered. Inscribed on the memorial are the words "Dedicated to my family and friends that never returned. For their courage and dignity." AJR Journal Editor Howard Spier wrote that 'the memorial poses the rhetorical question: how could God have allowed the Holocaust to happen?'
Abandoned by Naomi Blake.
Whilst Blake's sculpture is a lone figure the garden contains a number of other memorials. The garden is also home to 'The Briefcase – Raoul Wallenberg', in memory of the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg. Designed by sculptor Gustav Kraitz, the sculpture is an imitation of the original which stands near the United Nations building in New York. Wallenberg's story is an inspirational one, as a diplomat he worked alongside the Swedish government to rescue Jews from Budapest, Hungary. Through his efforts and those of his colleagues, which included issuing certificates of protection, and forged papers, over 100,000 Jewish people were still living in Budapest at the time of Soviet liberation in February 1945. The sculpture is a bronze suitcase engraved with the initials RW and represents Wallenberg's unfinished work; he disappeared shortly after the war and his fate is unknown.
The statues and roses stand together to create a garden of peace and a space for reflection. The gardens, therefore, serve a number of purposes; memorialisation, education and commemoration are just a few. So as the days are getting warmer and the evenings lighter why not take some time to sit and reflect?

Home Office in the media blog: Thursday 21 February
Posted by: Home Office news team, Posted on: 21 February 2019 - Categories: Leading stories
Today's Home Office stories include the extension of stop-and-search powers and funding for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.
Stop and search powers extended
The Times reports that police are to get more powers to stop and search people they suspect of carrying acid and other corrosive substances in public. The Home Secretary is to broaden the circumstances in which it can be used after the public supported such a move.
Of 213 replies to the public consultation on the issue, 90% strongly agreed that a new power was needed to allow police to investigate the possession of a corrosive substance. A new offence, carrying corrosives in a public place, is included in the Offensive Weapons Bill currently before Parliament.
The number of assaults involving corrosive substances has more than doubled between 2012-13 and 2016-17 and most took place in London.
The Poisons Act has already been amended so that anyone buying substances which contain more than 15% sulphuric acid requires a license and sentences for those caught carrying a corrosive substance twice will be brought into line with those found twice with knives. Police have also started carrying 'acid kits', which include equipment to deal with an attack.
The National Police Chiefs Council has welcomed the changes.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid said:
Anyone who carries acid to maim and disfigure others is a coward who deserves to face the full force of the law.
That is why we are giving police officers greater powers to help bring them to justice and protect the public from their sickening crimes – which can leave victims' with life-changing injuries.
The police are clear stop and search is one of the most important tools they have in the fight against serious violence - I will continue to give them the support they need to do their vital work.
Funding for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children
The Telegraph and Mail report that supporting unaccompanied asylum-seeking children cost local authorities over £150m last year.
According to the Telegraph, council spending on care for child asylum seekers has almost doubled in four years as authorities are being forced to cut services and raise council tax, new figures show.
The Local Government Association (LGA) says spending on child asylum seekers has risen to £152m. It warns a sharp increase in unaccompanied asylum-seeking children after the migration crisis in 2015 contributed to a "soaring" demand on children's services.
The LGA asylum, migration and refugee task force chair, David Simmonds, called for the Government to "properly fund the joint commitment to support unaccompanied children".
The Mail notes that nearly 4,500 children are supported by councils across the country.
A Home Office spokesperson said:
We are very grateful to local authorities who provide care for a significant number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.
We are currently reviewing the funding arrangements and over 50 local authorities have taken part. We hope to reach a conclusion soon, but it is right that we take time to thoroughly assess the evidence.
We are committed to putting in place arrangements which work as well as possible for both the unaccompanied children and local authorities.
