9 months in charity recruitment
Publish Date: Posted 8 months ago
Author:by Adam Stacey
We were so pleased to welcome Katherine to the team in September 2020, having joined us from working in senior development roles in the third sector. A shift in career can be a daunting prospect - I know as I did the same 2 years ago - but especially for Katherine in the midst of a global pandemic. I had the chance to ask Katherine some questions about her first 9-months with us here at Charisma.
Katherine, you joined Charisma in September 2020, what was it like starting a new job right in the middle of the pandemic?
Strange! That is the obvious answer but also exciting, and it certainly made me even more grateful for the opportunity. When I started at Charisma, I had been on furlough for 5.5 months, so being back in a working environment was daunting but thankfully the team was incredibly welcoming and supportive. I had been a Development Manager and part of the Senior Management Team for an arts charity on the south coast. Like many arts and heritage organisations, who rely on visitor numbers and audiences attending shows, performances and events, it was an incredibly tough time. Getting the chance to crossover from a not-for-profit organisation to charity recruitment meant the opportunity to harness my existing skills and learn new ones. Most importantly, it allowed me to continue to support the sector.
What is the best and worst thing about homeworking?
I was lucky to have 2 months in the office, learning the processes and meeting the team, before switching to remote working when the next lockdown came. The best part of homeworking is definitely the flexibility and work/life balance the lack of commuting affords you. Working on new roles now, I expect that a full return to offices is unlikely and I have seen a noticeable trend in candidates requesting agile working moving forward. The worst thing, apart from the cat pirouetting across your Zoom meeting, is the lack of water cooler moments! Thankfully the Charisma team works hard to stay in touch, but I know the perils of silo working can often affect organisations. I think everyone is missing human interaction, and be it team days, or hybrid working, the opportunity to debate the twists and turns of the latest BBC crime drama will return in some form soon.
*5 minute conversation about Line of Duty ensued*
You were a Charisma candidate before joining the team. Did that effect your decision to join the company?
Absolutely! I had been through the process that all candidates go through and that experience is what confirmed I wanted to join the team. Like most job hunters I had been engaged by and discussed opportunities with other recruiters. However, Charisma's approach was friendly, collaborative and transparent from start to finish. I always felt supported, well informed and never left in limbo without an answer. Applying for roles can be exhausting and not hearing back really discouraging. Charisma always kept me in the loop and made me feel valued. It felt aligned to my own accessible approach I effected when working with stakeholders in previous roles. I joined Charisma because I wanted to be a part of that culture and ensure clients and candidates felt as valued and well supported as I had been.
Katherine, it's been an absolute pleasure to take the time to ask you a few questions! But, more importantly, it's been a pleasure to welcome you in to the team at Charisma and see you thrive in supporting so many organisations attract top talent. We're so pleased you are with us.
If you are considering recruitment across your organisation then please don't hesitate to contact us here at Charisma. Or why not contact Katherine direct, who is always happy to talk all things recruitment (or the latest BBC crime drama!).

Comic-Con: Iron Curious Yellow
Lot's of big news coming out of Comic-Con… none of which I got to see/learn firsthand because I don't get to go. Harumph.
Anyway, first up: "Iron Man 3" had a panel… immediately preceded by a suprise visit from Edgar Wright, who revealed that his long in-development "Ant Man" movie is moving forward, has a logo and showed off test-footage of the size-changing effects. Good news.
The "IM3" footage, allegedly, contains the "big reveal" that Ben Kinglsey's previously-unnamed villain whom everyone assumed was The Mandarin is, in fact, The Mandarin – or, at least, he has The Mandarin's beard, Ten Rings and "oriental" trappings. Publicity-snaps via Comicbookmovie.com also revealed what seems to be Iron Man's new armor for this one, which is mostly yellow:
I feel like a lot of people aren't going to like this look, but I dig it. If nothing else, a guy running around in a suit of bright yellow armor versus another guy with "patriotic" armor and a bad guy with "magic" rings helps confirm that the Marvel Movies seem to be aiming at getting even bigger and more "comic-book" after "Avengers;" rather than regressing.
Plot-wise, one assumes the new look has something to do with the Extremis story being used in the movie.
Incidentally, the other sequels have revealed their subtitles: "Thor: The Dark World" (no idea) and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (holy shit.)
"Guardians of The Galaxy" was also confirmed with concept-art and team-lineup revealed, more on that in a bit…
Last Word on "Spider-Man"

Safaia says:
My friend was there and texted me the titles when they popped up and I lost my shit. I'm not even ashamed because BUCKY.
Commencing nerdgasm in 3…2…1…
Thoughts:
1. I assume the Thor sequel will give us the introduction to Thanos, since Alexis Denisof did threaten to go after Loki if they didn't get the Cube. Also the audience might now sort of come to expect the Thor subfranchise to provide the overarching villains, which is convenient since that was the one that deals most strongly with interdimensional travel.
2. I KNEW they weren't going to get rid of Bucky that unceremoniously. I wonder if the big psychological-warfare moment of the sequel is the revelation that Bucky was Cap's shadowy-wetwork guy (imagine how it would hurt Cap to find out that his handlers not only exploited his image, but also maintained it with blood let by who he thought was his friend and confidante). No way is Red Skull gone, either.
3. Edgar Wright directing Ant-Man. I love you too, Marvel/Disney.
4. Any updates on what the Hulk is doing between now and Avengers 2?
Aiddon says:
They DO realize that Ben Kingsley doesn't have an ounce of Chinese in him…RIGHT? This is just WEIRD casting. They seriously couldn't just cast an Asian actor?
MovieBob says:
@Aiddon,
FWIW, I think they're intentionally avoiding making him explicitly Chinese/Asian to A.) avoid the fact that the character is borderline "yellow peril" racist and B.) comply with Chinese coproduction "discouragements" against giving financial-help to Western productions where Chinese characters are bad guys.
Also, Ben Kingsley is half-Indian, and thus far all of the Mandarin-related guys we've seen in this series have been of undefined Middle Eastern background, so theres also that.
LeVar says:
Its not confirmed that Kingsly is the Mandarin right? And Mandarin who is descendant of Genghis Khan whos Empire stretched from China to Russia about Europe. And a lot of Japanese and Chines beliefs stem from Buddhism which is Indian.
The Ten Rings could be a former territory controlled by Khan who now has ancestry in Ben Kingsly's character.
patrick.b.healy says:
I really wish the Iron Man armor suits would look more distinct from each other. Save for the suitcase thing, they've all looked basically the same.
Get ballsier Marvel. Give me Hulkbuster or give me death!
I don't know, something about the shade of yellow they chose feels off. It looks like someone has been rubbing butter all over the armor. Could just be the lighting.
Good to hear the Mandarin's finally here, with or without the name. Hopefully he won't forget to bring Fin Fang Foom along and HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE, DID YOU SAY WINTER SOLDIER!?
Anubis C. Soundwave says:
About villains and Asian actors:
Isn't that Cary Tagawa's acting hat? Racist Yellow Peril cheese or no, Tagawa's already better at being a villain than Ben Kingsley.
Consider the two actors' video game movies, then come back to me.
Blue Highwind says:
Why would Tony Stark pick a sickly yellow that looks more like undercoating than the finished paint job for his flashy robot suit? It looks terrible.
I have no idea who Ant-Man is (sounds like the lamest superhero title ever, if you ask me) but Edgar Wright is ALWAYS a good sign.
@LeVar
10 Rings dude. That's about all the confirmation we are going to need. But it says that Shane Black confirmed that he is the Mandarin right here:
http://io9.com/5926049/the-marvel-panel-ant+man-smackdown-iron-mans-downfall-and-rocket-raccoon
I love the idea of having a suit that harkens back to his old, all golden suit, but the color palette on this feels to uneven to me. But I will have to see it in motion before I can make a final decision. And even if I don't end up liking it, he's gonna have a new suit in the next movie, so whatever man.
Mack says:
1. maybe the thor subtitle means we'll get hela? maybe sertr? just some speculation off the dark in the title
2. Winter soldier! Yes!
3. not a big fan of this iron-man armor, it feels too much like they just inverted the colors. I'd much rather just see him get extremis powers and then give him his extremis suit or have his current suit linked to those abilities
I like this suit, it's like a transparent/skeleton look.
Huntaur says:
The lighting doesn't do the new armor justice. It is more of a tan/beige color. They did an action figure similar to this called DESERT ARMOR or something.
It is incredibly similar to everything else though. They really could have been a bit more daring than this. I almost didn't know it was a different armor till I got within 20 feet of it.
Lord Slithor says:
This'll be interesting. On one hand, I'm glad that the Mandarin (or a reasonable facsimile) will finally be in an Iron Man movie. IMHO, they should have had him in there, if not in the first, then definitely the second, and had MODOK for the third instead.
However, considering Kingsley is an occidental actor (though granted, he has Indian heritage, he's still British), I wonder if we'll get the same accusations of "white-washing" that plagued The Last Airbender?
Hopefully that suit will be used only for one scene, like the suit-case suit in IM2
I had heard that the Thor sequel would have Surt and/or Malekith. Perhaps "Dark World" refers to Muspelheim or Svartalheim?
Sam Robards, Comic Fan says:
I don't mind this costume's color scheme.
Besides, things tend to look a LOT different on film/in action than they do in stills taken as convention booths.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/16/anthony-mackie-cast-as-falcon-in-captain-america-2
i hope in cap 2 they keep the winter soldier's identity 'secret'. As in they don't say who it is in the trailers/promos. It would be a great reveal moment for people who just follow the films, creating a better in-theatre atmosphere.
I never got the impression The Mandarin was supposed to be "pure" Han Chinese (which isn't even remotely a monolithic culture) in the first place. He claims descent from Mongolians, and wasn't his mother an Englishwoman?
But I'm glad Mandarin's confirmed. Yellow Peril origins aside, I love the over-the-top, scenery-chewing, Bond-style mastermind supervillains, and I put Mandarin up there with Doctor Doom, R'as al-Ghul and Cobra Commander.

During the term of the option no-one else can buy or sell the property including the owner. For accepting this obligation the seller received and keeps an "Option fee" whether the option is exercised or not.
The buyer may then either exercise his or her right under the contract by completing the property purchase or sell the option to someone else to exercise, ie: Sell them the right to buy the property.
If the option holder exercises their right under the contract, the seller is obliged to complete the sale under the predetermined conditions.
An Option represents an equitable interest in the property and is often used to gain control over a property, without paying the full price. The cost to the Buyer/Option holder is the cost of the option. As mentioned before, this cost is non-refundable whether the transaction proceeds or not.

Our fully secured e-commerce system allows you to purchase and download your Real estate option Agreement safely. In just a few minutes you can have everything you need to secure the sale or purchase of a property.


Springfield, Mass. – September 13, 2018 – The Springfield College football team will return to Stagg Field this weekend and serve as host to Union College on Saturday, September 15th at 2:00 p.m. in the Pride's non-conference finale.
For the second-straight week, the Springfield College football team put up 42 points and handled host Kean University, 42-0, at Alumni Stadium on Saturday in non-conference play.
For a series that dates back to 1917, Springfield and Union will meet for the 21st time in 2018. Springfield holds a slight 11-8-1 advantage in the series, including wins in the last three meetings. Most recently in Oct. 8, 2016, Springfield defeated Union 17-3 in New York thanks to the rushing attack of the Pride, who had 360 yards on the ground. Springfield had 22 first downs for the day, while on defense Dominic Traversa had nine tackles with a big fourth quarter interception, and Christian Zotti made eight stops for the Pride.
After their win over Kean University, Springfield College is ranked 25th in the D3football.com National Poll. Of the 47 teams who are receiving votes in the poll, Springfield is the only team from New England to appear in the national rankings. Springfield has received votes in every D3football.com national poll since September 6th, 2017.
Springfield once again collected a handful of weekly honors for their efforts on the gridiron. Of the six NEWMAC weekly honors to be handed out this season, Springfield has captured five of them, as AJ Smith and Chad Shade picked up NEWMAC athlete of the week recognition last week, while this week Nick Bainter was tabbed the conference's offensive athlete of the week, Nick Giorgio was chosen as the defensive athlete of the week, and Jakai Whittingham was chosen as the special teams athlete of the week.
Winners of their last 12 regular-season games, Springfield's longest regular-season winning streak in program history is 20 games. That streak spanned from the last five games of the 2002 season until the sixth game of the 2004 season. After the 2002 season ended with five-straight wins before a setback in the NCAA Championship First Round, the Pride won the first 10 games of the 2013 campaign before losing in the NCAA Tournament. Springfield then rattled off five wins to start the 2004 campaign before it lost on October 23rd in a 45-24 decision to St. John Fisher.
Springfield has won its last 10 regular-season home games on Stagg Field, as the Pride's last regular-season loss on at home was on September 10th, 2016 when it fell to St. John Fisher, 35-21. During that span of 10 games, Springfield has outscored its opponents, 419-146. In fact, in Cerasuolo's three years as head coach, Springfield is 10-3 at home.
Union College finished last season at 7-4 under coach Jeff Behrman who is now going into his 3rd year coaching at Union. Union boasts one of the nation's best passing attacks, as quarterback Will Bellamy is ranked second in the country, averaing 367.5 passing yards per game. His main target has been first-year Andre Ross Jr., who is averaging 158.5 yards per game and has caught four touchdowns. Union toppled Husson, 30-7, in their season opener at home before taking it on the road to best Coast Guard, 28-10, last weekend.


Since Friday (the 13th, coincidentally) I've been battling with a nasty bug. I completely missed the St. Patrick's Day celebrations this year 😦 I've just started to come out of it now but I'm still recovering. I just wanted to apologise for not interacting in the blogosphere as much as I normally do. That situation is likely to continue for a while as I recover my stamina. May I make a small request? I normally love comments but I can't face answering too many just now. If you can't resist leaving me a message :), is it okay if I just "Like" it rather than replying in full? Many thanks in advance. I look forward to catching up with you all properly when I'm firing on all cylinders again.
Most readers of this blog wouldn't find it hard to guess that I think that funding for the arts is important. My interest in science is more disguised. Science-related topics don't appear on my blog very often because I consider this to be an "arts and crafts" blog. I can only think of two posts – here and here – where I deal with any kind of overlap between art and science. There is a beauty to mathematics that I've wanted to make visible to non-mathematicians for a long time but have never found a satisfactory way of doing so. I think it's wonderful that scientists are finding artistic ways to get their message across. However, as I think Bohannon is trying to suggest at the end of the video, maybe we should just enjoy the arts for their inherent qualities. Surely that is better than trying to justify their existence by mashing them into the service of science?

Phoenix Again
When talking about The Pact a while ago I alluded to the fact that it wasn't my first foray into the world of web series. And for those five people who remember Bogan Book Club, it wasn't even my second. The first is nowadays more a punchline than anything else.
I don't exactly remember where the idea for Phoenix came from, but at some point towards the end of high school I decided to make a no-budget web series shot in 'artistic' black and white to show off how serious it was, a web series that would follow a group of teenagers trapped in a house after a nuclear war.
The concept was neither original nor terrible. The planned execution was the inverse. My initial idea was to shoot it with a group of friends from my hometown, none of whom had the slightest interest in acting. Or, for that matter, being part of it. The idea ended up in a drawer.
Then, while involved in a play out in Warburton towards the end of year twelve, I floated the idea to the director, Sarah Ward; now known as the founder of the ever-expanding Misfit Theatre. Sarah and I became totally enamoured with Phoenix, taking my original scripts and building an epic mythology out of them along with a planned thirty episode arc that, when it inevitably went viral and made us all world famous, would be the springboard to a hit movie.
Obviously none of that happened. We cast people who had been in the play and launched into filming without much of a plan. Which went about as well as you'd expect. This was a series shot on an old camera from which all uploaded footage was stretched and pixelated, edited on Windows Movie Maker in stolen minutes between work and uni. I vividly remember uploading the first episode to YouTube only to very quickly learn that strangers on the internet are not kind. I actually became that guy who made a fake account to rebut all the criticisms, as if anybody would go to such effort to defend a series ostensibly set after a nuclear war in which sunlight and trees were clearly visible out the window.
But we kept filming. We got maybe a little better but it was hard to come back from those awful first episodes. And there were other struggles. Cast availability issues meaning that we would either have to sub in new actors and hope nobody noticed, or else come up with sudden 'plot twists' that revealed an extra person had been living in the house all along, conveniently revealed right as another character vanished.
A combination of growing disillusionment with the project and the fact that, you know, nobody was watching meant that we stopped shooting with our sixteenth episode. That wasn't the plan; I'm pretty sure at the time we had every intention of keeping going, but we never did. Over the following weeks there were half hearted attempts to pick up where we left off but time passed and lives moved on and before long Phoenix was squarely in the rear-view mirror – eventually even removed from YouTube to try and mitigate the inevitable humiliation should it be rediscovered.
Over the years I attempted to reverse that. I still thought the idea had merit and that, executed correctly, it could be something really cool. The year after shooting the original episodes we got fairly far along developing a rebooted version with a new cast that would in theory make up for the failings of the original. Never shot, naturally. The year after that, I actually wrote the first in what I hoped to be a Phoenix novel series, which remixed characters and events from the original web version with the seeming benefit of no budget constraints. It didn't work. The pace was lurching and I wasn't able to inject the material with any more originality than it had had to begin with.
Then, a few weeks ago, one of the old cast members got back in touch with the rest of us to point out that we never finished Phoenix. And between the jokes and reminiscing a vague idea emerged. What if a final episode was written that could wrap the series up? A final episode that could be shot and edited in a day, just like the old ones, after which we could all watch the whole series through, naturally with plenty of beers and laughs at our 2010 'acting'. Obviously this finale would never be released publicly, but rather exist as an excuse for the cast to get back together, have some nostalgic fun then a few chuckles at our own self-important expense.
Recently I was having drinks with some friends and the topic of Phoenix came up. I immediately slipped into my automatic response of disparaging everything about it, only to be quickly shut down by the point that when you're an eighteen-year-old creative you're supposed to make bad things. That's how you learn. And besides, healthy giggles at the badness of said bad things aside, there's nothing to be ashamed of about trying to make something when you're a dumb teenager.
Hearing that really stuck with me. I'd never thought about Phoenix or even my shambolic early theatre writing that way before. I've always acted kind of apologetic when it comes to talking about old work but it's only now I realise that I've got nothing to be sorry about. If I hadn't made those crappy old projects, I wouldn't have learned how to make the better new ones.
So anyway; call it sheer stupidity, call it a belated tribute to an early learning curve or a chance to do something fun with old friends again, but whatever the case we're finally finishing Phoenix.

The Glee Project Recap: It's Only Fear That Makes You Run
By Michael Slezak / July 18 2012, 6:21 AM PDT
Memo to all future Glee Project contestants: When you're in the Bottom 3 and fighting for your life in the competition, never ever answer a question from Ryan Murphy — be it about your childhood traumas or your feelings on hairless cats or your favorite brand of toilet paper — with a shoulder shrug and a mumbly "I dunno."
After all, The Glee Project (somewhat inexplicably) doesn't bother with straightforward acting challenges, so in a sense, your face-to-face interviews are an important opportunity to get into character (you're playing your heightened self, obviously) and emote, emote, emote! Bonus points if you can squeeze out real tears without hideous facial contortions/unfortunate mascara runs.
Unfortunately, my favorite contestant this season — and the person with the most gorgeous vocals of any Glee Project contestant ever — forgot this important lesson, and her dreams of boarding the mothership went the way of Damian McGinty's acting skills. (Insert toilet-flushing sound here.) But more on that in a moment.
Things kicked off with guest mentor Grant Gustin, with not nearly enough hair product, announcing the week's theme of "Theatricality," and Lily annoyingly screeching and flailing before he'd even gotten the word out of his mouth. "Theatricality is something I embody all the time," she announced, and let's be honest, that's got to make her pretty insufferable to be around.
The homework assignment was the excellent "I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line, and the performance gave us more hints about who can act (Blake, Shanna, possibly Ali) and who cannot (Abraham). The winner, though, was Ali, who actually looked like a contender for the first time in the entire competition.
Then it was time for the video shoot — where the contenders had to play grocery store clerks singing the Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up" and morphing into famous rock-star personas. I had a bad feeling Nellie when she kiddingly complained out loud about the mentors casting her as Britney Spears: I mean, if Robert Ulrich tells you you're going to be drenched in chum and dangled mere centimeters over a tank of great white sharks, you're supposed to smile enthusiastically and squeal, "I've always wanted a near-death experience!"
In the studio, Michael once again struggled with his vocals — maybe because his speaking voice sounds like someone's pinching his nose? — while Abraham had a mental meltdown after Nikki asked "Would you consider yourself androgynous when you perform?" Our vocal coach acted surprised by Abraham's response, but I felt like maybe that was a wee bit disingenuous of her. It seemed to me as though Nikki knew that probing Abraham — who identifies as a straight man — about his effeminate characteristics might spark the kind of emotional response that makes for good TV. Otherwise, why bother to ask at all?
But I digress…the video shoot found Shanna performing in a smelly, slimy Lady Gaga meat dress without any complaint whatsoever (girlfriend is a pro), Michael dressed as Elvis and thrusting his hips with abadon in front of the lettuces (kid can be pretty funny), and Lily crossing the border between camp and ridiculous. Nellie, meanwhile, pretty much sealed her fate when she groaned awkwardly about having to lean seductively into a citrus display. (Side note: Nellie certainly captured "sexy" well in the schoolroom and pool video shoots earlier in the season; anyone else find it odd that she was asked once again to unleash her inner seductress rather than playing a different emotion?)
The judges decided Ali had won the week — she was cute as Katy Perry, I suppose — while giving Michael a last-minute reprieve from the Bottom 3. Here's how those last-chance performances played out:
Nellie: "I'm The Only One" was perhaps pitched just a tad low for her in the opening verse, but her tone is beyond breathtaking. But her failure to answer Ryan's questions with any kind of enthusiasm or thoughtfulness only contributed to what he saw as a pattern of indecisiveness and lack of passion. I thought it was telling when she whiffed the question of whether she really wanted to be on Glee, or just be a musician making albums and playing concerts.
Abraham: His dance moves on "Stereo Hearts" were pretty embarrassing, and his vocals weren't particularly memorable. But his "I am who I am" inspirational response was like candy for the hungry-kid judges. Bottom line: Spouting bon mots like "I let my fear paralyze me" is usually good for another week in the competition, even if he really should've been the one to go home.
Lily: The most annoying contestant left this season fell to the ground with excitement when she was assigned Adele's "Someone Like You," but as Ryan pointed out, she performed the song quite memorably, as if she was actually in character as a Ms. Lonelyhearts singing to her long, lost love. Still, I almost fell to the ground in shock when Lily started blaming her poor video performance on Zach's choreography notes and Cyndi Lauper's lack of icon status. (Me: "How DARE she!?") Lily's dramatic monologue about being overlooked as an actress because she's 240 pounds was fairly stirring, though, and I understood why the judges decided to keep her another week.
And so it was Nellie who got the boot. Here's hoping, though, that her exposure on the show leads to a record deal full of great material. Paired with the right songs, she could be a singular sensation at radio, and maybe one day they'll be singing her songs on Glee, y'know?
What did you think of this week's Glee Project? Were you upset to see Nellie cut? Did you understand the judges logic? And what about the Nikki-Abraham androgyny controversey? Sound off in the comments!

In my talks I warn people about the truth in the case of Ground Turkey. You need to see the words Extra Lean on the packaging. Then it is from breast meat. Here is something from Fitness Magazine.
Look closely at labels. Extra-lean turkey is your best bet, with 1 gram of fat and no saturated fat per serving. Can't find it? Buy at least 92 percent lean ground beef.

Is a Video Will Legal? Maybe....
Looks like it is, in Australia. In the USA? Likely not. But it depends. Dont rely on a video will! Come see me today!
Queensland court finds a phone video can be a man's legal will
By Stuart Layt
April 18, 2019 — 9.24pm
A smartphone video shot by a man several years before he killed himself can function as his legal will, a Queensland court has found.
Leslie Wayne Quinn took his own life in June 2015 aged 53, leaving behind his wife Leanne Quinn from whom he was separated but not divorced, and three sons: two with Mrs Quinn and an older son from a previous marriage.
He did not have a traditional will, but four years before his death, apparently during a lunch break at his work in 2011, he quickly recorded a video leaving all of his worldly possessions to his wife.
Leslie Wayne Quinn recorded his last will and testament on his phone, which proved good enough for a Queensland court.
Photo: ."In the event of my death, I would like all my goods, my interests in property … my share of those to go to my wife, Leanne Quinn," Mr Quinn says in the video.
"Anything, any money that I have, cash, I'd like that to go to my wife Leanne.
"That, I think is basically it, so this is my only Will," he concluded.
Mr Quinn also stipulated that he wanted to be cremated, and did not want a memorial or funeral.
In Queensland, a formal will has to comply with a number of conditions including being in writing and being formally witnessed by people with no personal connection to the person making the will.
If there is no formal will, the Public Trustee of Queensland divides the estate left behind between the person's immediate family, including their spouse and any children.
Instead, Mrs Quinn made an application to the Public Trustee claiming that the video should be considered Mr Quinn's formal will, and his estate, valued between $58,611.86 and $108,611.86 and consisting primarily of two blocks of land at Yuleba and Russel Island, pass to her alone.
Senior Judge Administrator of the Supreme Court of Queensland Ann Lyons said it was clear that Mr Quinn had intended the video to function as his will.
"In my view there can be no doubt that Mr Quinn made the recording to make clear what his intentions were in relation to the disposal of his possessions after his death," she wrote in her judgment this week.
"Mr Quinn called the recording his 'last will' in his opening remarks and spoke about the distribution of his property 'after his death'. He therefore understood it was to operate after his death."
Mr Quinn had suffered from depression for many years and had been on medication at various points, although he had reportedly stopped taking medication at the time of his death.
However, Justice Lyons found Mr Quinn was of sound mind at the time he made the recording, and indeed seemed upbeat and happy in the video.
"I consider that the terms of the recorded message are rational and there is nothing on the recording that causes me to have the slightest doubt that he had testamentary capacity at the time he made the recording," she said.
"The fact that a person subsequently commits suicide does not necessarily mean that a person lacks testamentary capacity, particularly here where it occurred some four years later."
The court noted Mr Quinn's eldest son had expressed an opposition to Ms Quinn being the sole beneficiary of the will, but had not formally contested her application and did not give any evidence at the application hearings.
"Having considered the recording I consider that Mr Quinn expressed a firm intention to leave all of his assets to [Ms Quinn]," Justice Lyons said.
"Given the relatively young age of his sons at the time of the recording, such an intention is entirely logical in the circumstances."
The court relied on a number of other cases where there was no written will, and mentioned cases where "documents" including Word documents written and saved on a smartphone, a DVD and an unsent text message had all been considered valid legal wills in the past.

Loulu: The Hawaiian Palm
Loulu: The Hawaiian Palm Product Description:
The only native palms in Hawai`i, loulu are among the Islands' most distinctive plants. Several of the twenty-four recognized species are rare and endangered, and all make handsome and appropriate ornamentals to adorn gardens and landscapes with their dynamic foliage, colorful flower clusters, and conspicuous fruits. In this volume, Donald Hodel shares his expertise on loulu, having traveled extensively throughout Hawai`i to research and photograph nearly all the species in their native habitat. In the course of his work, he described and named three loulu that were new to science.
Each of the twenty-four species is treated in detail, and this book is handsomely illustrated with more than two hundred fifty photographs that clearly show leaves, flower stalks, fruits and habitat.
As interest in growing and conserving native Hawaiian plants surges while their numbers and habitat continue to decline, Loulu: The Hawaiian Palm will be valued as one of the most comprehensive and thoroughly illustrated treatments of

Miranda Custody in Prison – Not Automatic (Howe v. Fields)
posted Dec 3, 2012, 1:24 PM by Resty Manapat [ updated Feb 4, 2014, 10:55 AM ]
A new U.S. Supreme Court decision addressed the issue of whether questioning an inmate inside his institution about facts that occurred outside the institution always requires Miranda warnings because that inmate is by definition "in custody."
Randall Fields was serving a sentence in a Michigan jail. Fields was escorted by a corrections officer to a conference room where two deputies questioned him about allegations that, before he came to prison, he had engaged in sexual conduct with a minor. Fields had to leave one section of the facility, passing through a locked door to reach the conference room. Fields was questioned between five and seven hours.
At the beginning of the interview, Fields was told he was free to leave and return to his cell. The door was sometimes open, sometimes shut, the deputies were armed but Fields had no handcuffs. At no time was Fields read his Miranda warnings, and according to Fields, he told the deputies on several occasions he no longer wanted to talk, but at no time did he ask to return to his cell. Fields eventually confessed to sexual acts with the minor. At trial, Fields moved to suppress his statement. That motion was denied. Fields was convicted of the sex acts with the minor.
Fields appealed the alleged Miranda violation and prevailed getting his conviction reversed. Fields argued that being isolated for questioning in a custodial setting about incidents that occurred outside the institution is a per se violation of Miranda. The United States Supreme Court reviewed.
The U.S. Supreme Court held that a prisoner is not always in custody for Miranda purposes whenever a prisoner is isolated from the general prison population and questioned about conduct outside the prison.
The Court looked at custody and found that not all restraints on movement are custody. Referencing Maryland v. Shatzer 130 S. Ct. 1213, the Court reiterated that it has never adopted a bright-line rule for determining the applicability of Miranda in prisons. The Court set out three reasons why there can be no bright-line rule:
• First, a person already serving a prison term does not generally involve the shock that very often accompanies an arrest.
• Second, a person in custody is not likely to speak with the thought that they will be released. They are already in custody and know that when the interview is over, they are staying.
• Third, a prisoner knows that the officers questioning him do not have the ability to shorten his sentence. The pressure or fear of speaking really does not exist for the prisoner.
The Court then addressed questioning in private. In some instances, the Court pointed out, in a prison setting questioning in private is a better alternative for the inmate, such as here, talking about child molest. The Court said questioning in private does not necessarily mean Miranda warnings must be given.
Finally, the court failed to see why questioning about facts outside of prison has any distinction from any other questioning.
The Court was clear that under these circumstances, Fields was not in custody for Miranda purposes. The Court summed up:
"Fidelity to the doctrine announced in Miranda requires that it be enforced strictly, but only in those types of situations in which the concerns that powered the decision are implicated. Voluntary confessions made by prisoners should not be suppressed. Voluntary confessions are not merely a proper element in law enforcement, they are an unmitigated good, essential to society's compelling interest in finding, convicting, and punishing those who violate the law."
In this instance, telling the defendant he was free to leave, leaving him unhand cuffed, having the door open, offering him food and water, questioning him in a regular conference room, and not threatening him, all led to the conclusion that his statement was voluntarily made and was not a Miranda violation.
It should be safe to conclude that a county jail inmate who is housed for a significant time period should be considered no different than a prison inmate. Be careful, however, of someone who was just taken into custody. The crux of this ruling is that the inmate who has been incarcerated for a significant period is comfortable in that setting and speaking to the police is not such a jarring experience. Someone new to the custodial environment may be viewed differently.

Southern Mid-Atlantic Community Colleges Converge at NC Solar Center for a Solar Collaborative Forum
Image: North Carolina Solar Center
Earlier this month, Southern Mid-Atlantic solar instructors gathered in North Carolina's capital for the College Collaborative Forum on Solar Program Development hosted by the North Carolina Solar Center. The camaraderie within the Solar Instructor Series was apparent. Fifteen instructors flew, drove, and carpooled to reunite with past participants and visit with old friends. Seven instructors joined the discussion online, allowing them to follow along and participate virtually.
"We were like the crazy school bus," said Joe Mitchell of Virginia Highlands Community College who picked up Tal McBride in Virginia and Will Soyars just across the border in Rockingham, NC. The three had taken our solar workshops in North Carolina and Maryland together.
As they waited for the forum to start, instructors boasted like proud parents about the success of the solar programs they have helped implement at their colleges. The four Wake Technical Community College instructors shared that they now offer introduction to solar PV, solar thermal design and installation, and solar training courses. Similar course offerings were now being considered by the Harford Community College, Rockingham Community College, and Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College, demonstrating the many different routes to achieve the same goal. The overall agreement was that these programs would not have been possible without the support and training they receive through the Solar Instructor Series. Colleges without solar training courses yet in place were able to receive feedback and ideas from the group as to how to move forward in the development process.
Many of them were excited with the launch of the new online resource site on a Moodle platform which can be used to support their efforts in solar program development. Participants said they were looking forward to navigate it and the opportunities that it creates. The open dialogue discussion allowed instructors to voice out what more they would like to see added to the site as it grows. The Group Discussion feature hosted on the site will promote collaboration among schools. There already were talks forming among instructors about pooling resources to go after grants together.
"This is great," said Gene Williams of the College of the Albemarle. "I'd like to share pictures of what we're doing in Edenton. We've got pictures from our solar and wind workshops."
The Center also announced the Small Grants for Solar Schools and the 40 – hour curriculum licensing program that will help jump start or enhance their solar courses. More details are set to be released mid-December.
As the group adjourned, many stayed to talk about possible collaborations in going after different grants. The handful of new community college recruits to the program had certainly been introduce to not just the opportunities that can be available to them, but also to the wealth of relationships that arise from the Solar Instructor Series.

Stop & Shop announced on Jan. 4 that it would purchase King Kullen's supermarket assets, including this store at 127 Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre.
The chain's expansion began in 1933 when Michael Kullen bought Trump Market from President Donald Trump's father, Fred. At its height in 1980, the grocery retailer had 53 stores, 31 of which were in Suffolk County. King Kullen has one store on Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre. Stop & Shop has locations in nearby Baldwin and Oceanside, among the Nassau locations.

CodeMark: Proposed transition to new mark of conformity
Submissions closed: 23 December 2022, 5pm
MBIE is consulting on proposed rules to implement the new CodeMark mark of conformity.
The Building (Building Products and Methods, Modular Components, and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 introduced changes to strengthen the CodeMark product certification scheme. The finalised scheme rules commenced on 7 September 2022.
As part of the revision of the scheme, a new CodeMark brand has recently been developed alongside new brands for the BuiltReady modular component manufacturer scheme and the MultiProof scheme. The aim of the 3 schemes is to alleviate pressure in the consenting system by providing streamlined, robust, and trustworthy compliance options for manufacturers, suppliers, builders, designers, and consumers. Together, the 3 schemes will have a cohesive visual identity, as they all offer deemed to comply pathways for building consents.
In the CodeMark scheme, the CodeMark brand is used as a mark of conformity. As part of the implementation work for the new brand, MBIE have carefully considered the implications of changing the mark of conformity, as certificate holders are required to apply the mark either directly on the certified building product or building method or indirectly to the associated packaging or marketing material. As the scheme rules relating to the current CodeMark mark of conformity will be changed to incorporate the new brand, MBIE are proposing a transition period for scheme participants to minimise any adverse impacts.
The purpose of this consultation is to seek feedback from affected parties on whether the proposed transition is a suitable timeframe to implement the new mark of conformity requirements. Please refer to the discussion document for more detailed information.

snow ball: brite winter fest lights up the night
Erin O'Brien | Thursday, February 3, 2011
Coaxing winter-weary Clevelanders from their cozy hibernation caves is a tall order to be sure, but the Brite Winter Festival aims to do just that. Now in its second year, the cold-weather funfest is slated to hit Hart Crane Memorial Park (corner of Columbus and Merwin) in the Flats on February 19.
Billed as an outdoor music and arts festival, Brite Fest is proof that you can indeed have fun in Cleveland, in February, out of doors. This year's dazzling array of temptations includes nine holes of snow mini golf, 24 feet of alfresco skeeball, ski-mounted bicycles, wall-to-wall music and white-hot gourmet food trucks.
All activities are "weather permitting," which in this case means having enough precipitation for things like the snow sculptures that decorate the miniature putt-putt course. And yes, event co-chairs Emily Hornack and Jimmy Harris fully comprehend the implications of Cleveland's notoriously fickle weather.
"We have to plan for a foot of snow or 60 degrees and rain," says Harris.
"We kind of take this Zen approach," adds Hornack regarding the weather. "It's one of the things we decided to embrace instead of fight."
So, why in the devil choose winter in the first place?
Hornack, a 2010 Case Western Reserve University grad and speech pathologist at Metro Health, and Harris, a PhD candidate in biomedical engineering, hatched the Brite Winter Fest in response to a particularly presumptuous question constantly being posed by fellow students: "What are you doing when you graduate and leave Cleveland?"
That dreary query struck Hornack as indicative of the invisible divide that exists between university students and the community that surrounds them. While Cleveland had no shortage of family-friendly arts and entertainment events, few specifically targeted the younger, hipper 20- to 35-year-old demographic. So Hornack and Harris decided to brainstorm ideas on ways to introduce their colleagues to the city they loved.
"We were sitting around drinking beer and thinking of things we always wanted to do," says Hornack. "We wanted something to do in winter, particularly after the holidays."
"Nothing much happens between the end of the Browns season and May," adds Harris. (And during Browns season, some might add.)
The not-so-obvious conclusion they landed on was a winter-themed festival. Although Hornack is a Cleveland native, she spent years in the Twin Cities area, where events like the St. Paul Winter Carnival liven up the long, dark, cold months. So Harris and Hornack did what any serious young medical professionals might do: They decided to throw a party that featured ice bocce, musicians in "ice cubes," and a snow ball fight re-enactment of the 1836 Cleveland Bridge War.
To raise the necessary funds they teamed up with Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, K & D Group, Gypsy Beans, and a host of student organizations at Case. Following the magical recipe for stone soup that calls for heaping dose of community cooperation, the first annual Brite Winter Festival was born on Feb. 27, 2010.
"We've been fortunate to get a lot of help from people big and small, from all walks, contributing in big and small ways," says Harris.
For last year's inaugural event, Jack Frost contributed a swirling blizzard, which escalated the creativity and bonhomie. Event coordinators constructed last-minute "ice cubes" out of plastic sheeting and duct tape to protect the bands from the elements. Revelers lobbed snowballs, listened to music, warmed their hands by the fire, and sprang into action when a police car needed a friendly push.
"The coolest thing was this huge skeeball ramp with soccer balls and ball return," recalls Mike Christoff, a volunteer who attended last year's event. "You ran into people you never heard of. You also ran into councilmen. It was a weird crowd mostly, and that's what I considered to be the most fun."
Giant skeeball is returning to this year's Brite Fest, as is the interactive "light jukebox," a video-projection installation that allows folks to design and project onto buildings their own creations.
Hornack says the event targets "professional and graduate students and people who enjoy urban environs," though everyone is welcome to this free event. "By no means are we exclusionary," says Harris. "We're creating a space where people can interact."
Main stage performers will include Living Stereo, Modern Electric, The Wheel, and SunSpots. The list of performing artists is still growing, but will be showcasing performers such as Worried Men and Amy Fishbach.
Food will be provided by two of the area's hottest mobile kitchens, Umami Moto and strEat Mobile Bistro, as will Gypsy Bean and Baking Co. Nearby Sainato's Pizza will open their doors to those in need of a cup of libation, a warm place to nosh, or just the bathroom.
Hornack hopes the event blossoms into a long-standing Cleveland tradition.
"From the beginning we always wanted this to be an annual event. There are a variety of things that make that likely and possible," she says, citing the enthusiasm of volunteers and event partners.
"It's become exactly what we wanted it to be."

What Do Golden Eggs Do in Monster Hunter World?
Learn what you can do with Golden Eggs and whether to sell them or keep them in Monster Hunter World.
You'll be constantly discovering new and unusual things as you play through Monster Hunter World, and one item which might leave you asking, "What does it do?" is the humble Golden Egg. You'll receive the Golden Egg as a reward for completing certain quests in the game, and it's up to you whether you want to sell or keep them.
The Golden Egg is one of the many trade-in items that can be earned in Monster Hunter World. These items' sole purpose is to be sold for a tidy profit. Unlike the Tailraider Voucher or the Silver Wyverian Print, the Golden Egg cannot be used to create a unique piece of armor, used as a weapon upgrade, or consumed at the Melding Pot. The only thing you can do with a Golden Egg is sell it.
There's no sense in holding onto the Golden Egg, but you can keep it in reserve if you like, just in case you're running low on funds and need a slight bump. However, if you do want to sell the Golden Egg, you will need to go to Astera and speak with the Provisions vendor.
You can find the Golden Egg by selecting the Sell option, and then choosing to sell something "From Item Box". Use the triggers to scroll to the sleeping dragon symbol, and then the bumpers to navigate through the pages. The Golden Egg should be located on one of the last pages (near any Steel Eggs or Silver Eggs if you've got them). The value of the Golden Egg should be roughly 20,000 Zenny, which might get you a couple of upgrades or perhaps a shiny new piece of armor.
When you manage to unlock the High Rank content, you'll find that the quests begin rewarding you with valuable items, most of which are used to upgrade your gear. However, a few rewards will be "Trade-In Items", much like the Golden Eggs, that only exist to make you more money. Sell what you want, and save the rest of a rainy day! Check out our Monster Hunter World guide for more insight into the other mechanics and features in the game.

Covered California is the health insurance exchange that was put in place after the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010. The exchange allows people to apply for health insurance that is subsidized with advanced tax credits for those with qualifying income requirements. It was introduced in October of 2013 to enroll California residents for plans beginning January 1st, 2014. Starting in 2014 you cannot be denied coverage for pre-existing health conditions on or off the exchange.

The agent will be able to answer questions you have about the plans presented and further discuss the pros and cons of each plan choice.
Does the health plan cover the benefits you need such as pregnancy, prescription drug coverage, doctor visits and hospitalization?
If it does not offer you all the benefits you need, is it still your best health insurance option?
Is your doctor in the health plan's network?

What Factors Affect Your Health Insurance Premiums?
You'll be paying for health insurance premiums whether you use any medical services or not, so how are monthly premiums determined?
Insurance companies employ actuaries who calculate the framework for determining insurance premiums. Premiums are based on a variety of factors including your health status and history, lifestyle choices, where you live, your age and your height and weight.
Deductible amounts - your health insurance deductible is a set amount that you must pay out-of-pocket before receiving any reimbursement of expenses from the insurance company. Many insurance companies offer high deductible plan options, which will likely lower your monthly premiums.
Coinsurance - your coinsurance amount is a percentage of costs that you pay for covered services. For example, if you choose an "80/20 plan," then your insurance company pays 80 percent of the covered expenses and you are responsible for 20 percent of the covered costs, after your deductible.
Co-payment - a co-payment (co-pay) is a dollar amount that is your responsibility and it is typically applied to items such as doctor office visits, emergency room visits and prescription drugs.
Out-of-pocket maximums - An out-of-pocket maximum is the dollar limit that you will be responsible for during the course of the policy term. This amount typically includes deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurance but not premiums.
Lifetime maximums - this is the maximum amount your insurance company will pay in your lifetime for your policy.
Health insurance is a maze of choices. If you have trouble understanding confusing health insurance terms or are overwhelmed with all of the health plan options, you're not alone. With awardinghealth.com an expert will be on your side to make it simple, understand your unique needs, and recommended the perfect health plan for your situation — all in under 10 minutes!

Q: What are the cosets of $\mathbb{Q_8} / Z(\mathbb{Q_8})$? $\mathbb{Q_8} = \{\pm 1, \pm i, \pm j, \pm k\}$ where 1 is the identity and $\mathbb{Q_8}$ is a non-abelian group under ordinary multiplication

Let it be given that $i^2=j^2=k^2=ijk=-1$

I already calculated $Z(\mathbb{Q_8}) = \{-1, 1 \}$ by constructing a Cayley table

I want to find $\mathbb{Q_8} / Z(\mathbb{Q_8})$

Now, I know Lagrange's theorem tells us that $\mid \mathbb{Q_8} / Z(\mathbb{Q_8}) \mid = 8/2 =4$. So there must be 4 distinct cosets

Where do I go from here?

A: The congruence classes modulo a a normal subgroup are obtained multiplying each element of the group by all elements of the subgroup. Therefore, it is not hard to check that you obtain the four classes
$$\{1,-1\},\; \{i,-i\}, \; \{j,-j\}, \; \{k,-k\}.$$
Furthermore, the quotient $Q_8/Z$  is abelian, and each class has order $2$, so $Q_8/Z$ is isomorphic to Klein's Vierer Gruppe.

UPDATE: Oral Argument Scheduled for Knife Rights' New York City Gravity Knife Lawsuit
Oral Argument has been scheduled for January 18, 2018, in our long-running Federal civil rights lawsuit against New York City and District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr., which is currently under appeal.
Oral Argument before a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is the last step before a ruling in the appeal of U.S. District Court Judge Katherine B. Forrest's tortured decision against the plaintiffs. That decision fundamentally re-characterized the case in a way that did not reflect the case presented.
The lawsuit challenges the City's practice of treating common folding knives as prohibited "gravity knives," then arresting and prosecuting law-abiding knife owners at the current rate of approximately 6,000 per year and intimidating retailers into paying large cash sanctions to avoid prosecution. Under the City's vague and subjective "wrist flick" test, it is impossible to know what knives will be treated as legal.
Knife Rights members and supporters are welcome to attend the Oral Argument in New York City. The hearing is scheduled for Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 1703 at the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, New York City. (Click here for the Court's map and subway directions or Click here for Google Maps).
Please note that this is not a trial court and the format of the hearing may be very unfamiliar to attendees. This is a very formal proceeding in front of a Federal Appeals Court, just one step below the U.S. Supreme Court. The attorneys from each side present their arguments and then they will be grilled by the three Appeals Court Judges on the panel as to the fine points of their legal arguments and the law. The actual hearing can be expected to last as few as 30 minutes up to an hour at the most.
Although the calendar has our case scheduled for 10:00 AM, there are other cases on the 10:00 AM calendar as well, so there is no way to predict exactly when our case will be heard that morning.
If you come to watch, it should come as no surprise that you will have to leave your pocketknife at home and you will have to pass through a metal detector and screening area. You may not be allowed to bring a cell phone, tape recorder or photographic equipment into the court house, so be prepared for that. Allow extra time to get through security.
While it isn't required that you "dress up" in a suit and tie, please do respect the Court and dress appropriately. While in attendance, please remember that your actions will reflect on Knife Rights–you are there only to respectfully and courteously witness the proceedings.

Fair enough. I never play shifters, only nukers/healers.
Orlans always remind me of hamsters so I have a hard time making a MC as a hamster...I mean an Orlan. But maybe I have to get over my bias and play as a female orlan MC and romance Tekehu, but he'd better bring the duct tape!!!
Hamsters? Those have no visible ears. You mean squirrels I presume?
Favorite for RP: Pale Elf since I never got over that "long white hair is cool" phase of the late '90s/early 2000s.
Favorites for stats/bonuses: Hearth Orlan and Nature Godlike.
That is not a hamster either.
But it looks like an Orlan all right.

I go for roleplay more than the racial bonuses. I'm quite happy with the fact that they are mainly meant as flavouring.
So now I'm a boreal dwarf. And the very selective and rare criteria they have, actually makes me appreciate it more when it pops up in the combat log.
"Gorrecci Street? No worries mate. I'm an islander!"
If you play a kiter it's a really good pick.
