Home / Global News / Shamima Begum's Child Death Was "Perfectly Avoidable", Says Former Met Chief
Shamima Begum's Child Death Was "Perfectly Avoidable", Says Former Met Chief
Vernon Walton | Monday, March 11, 2019
IS teen's baby dies following stripping of British citizenship
Three week old Jarrah's death certificate said he'd died of pneumonia.
Two Pakistani-origin sisters from London are believed to be the latest set of mothers to lose their British citizenship for marrying into the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group in Syria.
A Church of England bishop and a former director of public prosecutions criticised the home secretary as demand grew for Javid to review his controversial decision to strip the 19-year-old of British citizenship - a move that left her stateless with her child in legal limbo.
Shadow home secretary Dianne Abbott blamed Javid's decision to remove Begum's citizenship for the child's death, accusing him of breaking global law.

The British government claimed Begum was a dual-national with access to Bangladeshi citizenship, but the Bangladeshi foreign ministry said in a statement that Begum is not a Bangladeshi citizen and her family tried to challenge the decision and ask for help in bringing her baby back to Britain. Begum, who left the U.K.in February 2015, has said in recent media interviews that her son was named Jarrah.
Javid, during a weekend of criticism, was accused of moral cowardice and "treating the United Kingdom as a banana republic" in pursuit of his leadership ambitions after the death of Jarrah, Begum's son.
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesman Mustefa Bali confirmed to AFP that the baby had since died, but declined to specify how or when it happened.
"The death of any child is tragic and deeply distressing for the family".
Antonio Brown exercises leverage as Steelers work on trade
The NFL reported the story at the wee hours of Friday morning but AB quickly shot down the idea, calling it "fake news". The Bills were among the teams interested, but GM Brandon Beane says the deal "didn't make sense for either side".
"It's impossible to muster sympathy for her", author and academic Idrees Ahmad wrote in reference to Begum, according to the Post.
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Ed Davey said the boy will be remembered if courts rule that Javid acted "illegally in making a British citizen stateless", the Press Association reports. "Sadly in this case, as we know, it wasn't possible", he added.
"The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has consistently advised against travel to Syria since April 2011".
Two senior members of the government said on Saturday that the death was a tragedy but that the home secretary took the decision on grounds of national security.

However, when questioned along similar lines by Andrew Marr, Mr Hunt replied that "sending a British Government official into a war zone where you're getting advice that those officials' lives may be put at risk is a very different matter".
"The Government will continue to do whatever we can to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and travelling to unsafe conflict zones".
"It's a two-way thing, really", she told the BBC, adding that the suicide bomber that killed 22 civilians at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester was a "kind of retaliation" for bombardments of ISIS-held enclaves, adding, "So I thought, ok, that is a fair justification".
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We do not comment on individual cases".
Sen. Sherrod Brown Won't Run For President In 2020

You're going where? "… Aldabra" "Abracadabra …?"
… But I will be going there from here (Cape Town) for five weeks as part of a small team of scientists and cameramen from the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) to assess and document Aldabra's unique marine life. The countdown is on and together with the BBC Wildlife award-winning photographer Thomas Peschak we are laying out every single piece of camera equipment we own and trying to figure out how to get it (safely) half way up the continent and across the Swahili seas to the Seychelles Island Group.
I won't ask you to join me with the preparation and packing as it is total chaos but I will take you behind the scenes on a scientific, documentary film-making and photographic expedition to a place every conservation and marine biologist, film-maker and photographer longs to go.
From March 12th to April 9th SOSF will be on a mission to assess the abundance of sharks, especially the large species such as tiger, oceanic-white-tips and great hammerhead sharks. We, led by Dr Rupert Ormond, SOSF's director of Science, will be diving and using remote camera stations to try and find individuals. Chatting last week to Dr Ormond his words rung very true to my experience of how a lot of people view the ocean: "There is a tendency for people to think that as long as the ocean looks ok and remains blue in colour, it is pristine and not damaged. The sad reality is that this is far from the truth and below the surface large expanses of the ocean have been converted to deserts, un-naturally destroyed by man."
Cheryl-Samantha Owen is a conservation biologist, wildlife photographer and author who specializes in documenting marine life in the oceans that surround Africa. Cheryl-Sam was born in Kenya and has spent much of her life working on the African continent. Her work with the Save Our Seas Foundation sees her on the conservation frontline, raising awareness and educating the world about the importance and relevance of marine and shark conservation.


This is a good question, and although the answer may appear obvious to some, it may not to others. Casinos are profitable, no question. But there is a difference between the Las Vegas of everyone's imagination and the reality that encompasses betting as a phenomenon worldwide. Vegas looks good, but not much money passes through it, relatively. The real gambling takes place in small wagers, spread across the homes, betting parlours, bars and clubs that make up our societies resting spots.
Casino marketing is a very salient opportunity. Since it became a modern popular pastime, it's increased in popularity every single year. Vegas can't take care of all the people who want to bet on their Monday night football, or every person who wants to play blackjack, but can't take a flight to Vegas any time soon.
But things changed suddenly in 1995, when online security finally reached an acceptable plateau with 128 big encryption becoming standard. Since that point in time, people have been placing bets over the Internet on just about every possible betting opportunity imaginable, from the winners of NBC's survivor series, to the world series.
Before now, to be in casino marketing you had to work for a land based casino company, and your marketing efforts were directed towards convincing people to stay at a certain hotel/casino while they were vacationing. Things couldn't have changed more over the past few years. Now all that you need to do to become a casino marketer and take a cut of the huge profits that Vegas makes, is to run a website.
You don't need to work for anybody but yourself, and you don't need to be hired by a big casino company. You simply need to sign up for a pretty standard affiliate program, start producing traffic to your website, convince your visitors to play at the casino you're advertising, and take your cheque.
It's simple, its easy, and once you get rolling you'll think its far too simple and far too easy. If you get to that point, your direction should be clear: double your efforts, and expand your company, in turn, your cheques will expand.
To learn everything you need to know about running a website as an affiliate, and choosing that all important casino affiliate program, read this entire website. It details most of what you need to know, and points you in the right direction for information to fill in all the gaps. Within weeks you can be producing your own money, no boss, no employees, no stress, just profit.

Writer Drew Edwards Reflects on His "Life's Work" with A Very Special Issue
Sept. 3, 2020, (Eugene, OR.) — Celebrate 20 years with one of underground comics' most enduring characters, Halloween Man! The comic written and created by 2020 Ringo Award nominee, Drew Edwards, offers up a special jam issue Halloween Man: Beyond October which features an amazing roster of up-and-coming and mainstream artists including John Sowder, Jason Wilson, Paulo Hernandez, Evan Quiring, Max Young, John Ghoulson, Andrea Montano, Joey Muerto, and Sergio Calvet, with an introduction by Matt Morrisson, topped off with a real stunner of a cover by Nicola Scott (Birds of Prey, Black Magik)!
Meet Solomon Hitch, the Halloween Man himself—a misunderstood monster with the power of the horror movie sequel, a heart of gold, and a taste for living flesh—and his lady love Lucy Chaplin, the world's most glamorous mad scientist. With his friends by his side, he just might smash evil, save the world — and maybe even save his soul!
In Halloween Man: Beyond October its revelations abound as a frosty Halloween night is invaded by folkloric Yuletide monsters. Frau Perchta, the Christmas Witch wants to sink her claws into Halloween, but first she must rob Halloween Man of his supernatural powers! Join us for endings and beginnings in an issue that will delight old fans and inspire new ones!
Drew Edwards began writing Halloween Man as a way to deal with the death of his identical twin, who was killed when a drunk driver struck Drew's car. His twin had just come out as trans and was looking forward to the next steps. Left in the wake, Drew had onset of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and Depression. The inception of Halloween Man became a coping method that helped Drew to come to terms with the guilt and loss, and moreover, to pay homage to his brother through comics, horror, and what could've been, by creating a diverse cast of characters.
"After the accident, life without my twin felt unbearable. But telling these weird stories got me out of bed every morning," said Drew Edwards. "Twenty years later, they still have that power. Crafting the weird world of Halloween Man has become my life's work and it's been truly wonderful to see these characters grow beyond a small webcomic into something that thrills thousands of people. And we're just getting warmed up. I can't wait for people to see what comes next."

In 1886, in two small towns 60 miles away from one another in Southwestern Germany, two engineers both developed new machines. These machines were the culmination of a lifetime of work and based on the small, incremental steps of previous inventors. Both of these men would soon become internationally famous, and be household names a century after their deaths.
For Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, their experiments with internal combustion engines would lead to them developing the most successful engine-powered vehicles of the day.
Benz is credited with patenting the first vehicle that can reasonably be described as a car, whereas Daimler developed an engine that powered the first motorcycle.
Both men profited greatly from their inventions, and both formed large companies that sold engines and cars throughout the world. In both cases, the commercial aspect of their work proved to be unsatisfying, with both eventually falling foul of their boards. However, the eventual merger of their two companies – the oldest automotive companies in the world – would lead to the emergence of a global brand of high renown.
The Daimler-Benz company, producers of the Mercedes-Benz, is a brand instantly recognizable around the world. For these two men, their legacy is more than just the company that bears their name, but the development of the car industry as a whole.
Both Daimler and Benz experienced relatively similar educations and benefitted from working at a time when engine technology seemed to be expanding. There was a real sense that an internal combustion engine was not only possible, but its invention was imminent. This gave both men the experience and drive that they needed to continue with their work.
Gottlieb Daimler received his initial training as a gunsmith, before moving into mechanical engineering.
His first job post-qualification was in a factory that made locomotive engines, a topic that fascinated Daimler.
He soon realized that steam engines were not the engine of the future, and that, instead, small, cheap engines, sellable on the mass-market would be where the industry was heading.
After training in France and Britain, Daimler worked at a factory making engines, where he hired Wilhelm Maybach. After differences with the company, Daimler and Maybach left to start their own enterprise in 1882.
Karl Benz grew up in relative poverty but his aptitude at school resulted in him gaining acceptance to university, where he studied mechanical engineering.
After graduating, he spent the next seven years working in a variety of companies, although his often difficult and obsessive nature led to him moving on with regularity.
Throughout this period, he was constantly employed in mechanical engineering positions, although in a variety of different fields. This led to Benz gaining a varied education in engineering, from which he was able to draw a number of his later innovations.
In 1871 Benz and August Ritter founded their own factory. Ritter was a poor businessman, and the factory soon experienced financial difficulties. Ritter was bought out by Benz's fiance, Bertha, who used her dowry to become Benz's business partner.
Bertha Benz's grasp of engineering – as well as marketing – proved to be crucial in the financial success of Benz's enterprise.
After years of experimentation and innovation, Daimler and Maybach were ready to proceed with a functional engine.
Daimler utilized a fuel called ligroin – a petroleum fraction – which could provide the power needed to turn a flywheel. By 1884, Daimler's engine had reached 900 rpm and was ready for use in motion. It was known as the 'grandfather clock' because of its shape.
Daimler and Maybach attached their engine to a bike frame they had modified with two additional wheels for stability. The image below shows Daimler's drawings of the Petroleum Reitwagen, or 'Petroleum Riding Car'.
The vehicle featured a handlebar that engaged the drive belt (and therefore moved the vehicle forward) when turned one way, and engaged the brakes when twisted the other. Despite Daimler's fame in the car industry, he's also regarded as the father of motorcycles as a result of his Reitwagen.
The Reitwagen's engine was a four-stroke engine with a horsepower of 0.5. It was capable of traveling at 7 mph. On the first ride, which was by Daimler's son Paul, the placement of the engine underneath the rider caused problems, and the engine caught fire.
After improvements to the engine and the drive wheel, the Reitwagen was abandoned; it had demonstrated that engines could power vehicles. After that, Daimler moved his attention to vehicles with four wheels.
The Daimler Motorcoach of 1886 used the grandfather clock engine in a carriage usually pulled by a horse. The version of the engine used in the motorcoach was a 1.1 hp engine and was the first four-wheeled vehicle to exceed 10 mph. This paved the way for further designs, and Daimler soon became an internationally-known brand.
The most successful Daimler company car was the Mercedes, built after Daimler's death by Wilhelm Maybach and Emil Jellinek (and named for Jellinek's daughter). This became one of the most profitable cars of the early years of motoring and was so successful that the name continued, and even superseded the Daimler name owing to international naming rights.
Both Benz and Daimler were focused on the development of the engine, and it was here that they pulled ahead of their competitors.
One of the big problems that they and their contemporaries faced was determining how to provide power without adding too much weight.
Furthermore, there was also a debate within the engineering community as to whether a gas or a steam engine was optimal for cars. The latter had a proven record of success in locomotives, and many of the early car prototypes used steam.
Gasoline at this point was a product sold for cleaning, and available over the counter in most pharmacies.
Benz developed a variety of innovations in his engine, the most important of which was the development of a four-stroke engine capable of supplying more horsepower than previous iterations.
He also invented a throttle system, battery-powered ignition systems, spark plugs, gear shifters, carburetors, the water radiator, and the clutch.
One 19 January 1886, Karl Benz received patent number DRP 37435 for a 'gas-powered vehicle'.
As his drawings show, Benz's design was a three-wheeled vehicle (steering with two front wheels was a challenge too difficult at this stage). His engine was a high-speed one-cylinder four-stroke engine with a top speed of 10 mph. This was the first self-contained vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine. This patent represents the birth certificate of the car.
In 1888, Bertha Benz was frustrated by Karl's ongoing perfectionism. She knew that there was a market for his design, but that if he kept working on it in his workshop, it would never become a commercial success.
Bertha took Karl's invention and, along with their sons Eugen and Richard, decided to make the 65-mile drive from Mannheim to Pforzheim to visit her mother.
This was a major logistical challenge, especially because Bertha would be reliant on pharmacies in towns along the route to provide her with gasoline, and the roads were not designed for cars. Furthermore, any mechanical problems along the route would be hers to solve.
In the morning, Bertha, Eugen, and Richard took Benz's car and wheeled it down the road away from the home. They realized they couldn't start it nearby without waking Karl up. She left a note on the kitchen table and set off on her way.
Despite the route being well beyond what had been tested before, Benz's machine performed remarkably well. Bertha was able to clear a blocked fuel line with a hatpin; she stopped in one town and asked a cobbler to repair the leather on a brake shoe.
Because of the lack of power (2.5 hp) she needed help from two farm boys to push her up a hill.
When she arrived in Pforzheim, she sent a telegram back to Karl that her journey had been a success. Bertha had proved that the car worked and was a feasible method of transport. Karl added a low gear for hills on future models.
and he sought to demonstrate that it could be used in a variety of different vehicles.
In fact, in the 1880s and 1890s, the majority of sales of Daimler engines were for use in boats.
In the 1889 Paris Exhibition, Daimler and Maybach displayed their engine to international acclaim. In addition, rather than adding their engine to horse carriages, Daimler and Maybach developed their own vehicle, based on placing two bicycles side by side.
Daimler eventually incorporated his company in 1890 to deal with the growing need for capital to expand. The new board sought to refocus as a purely engine-building company.
Daimler, by contrast, felt that the future lay in automobiles, and wanted to produce ever cheaper and ever more efficient vehicles. Daimler's reluctance proved to be justified, as he was eventually forced out of the company in 1893. After two years in the wilderness, Daimler was eventually brought back as an employee and a board seat.
The period 1895-1900 saw a major expansion of the company, selling licenses for international sales, and expanding their own brand. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900, at which point the car company that bore his name was one of the largest in the world.
After Bertha Benz's demonstration of her husband's car, demands for Benz-created engines soared. Over the next decade, Benz's company grew from 50 employees to 430.
In the 1890s Benz was the largest car company in the world, producing 572 cars in 1899. As a result, Benz opened his company to outside investment, incorporating into a joint-stock company.
This proved to be more successful for Benz than it was for Daimler, and the desire to create a cheaper mass-market car proved to be a solid one.
The Benz Viktoria was released in 1892 and sold large numbers, particularly in Germany.
Benz was also successful in his move into commercial vehicles. He designed the first truck with an internal combustion engine, thus paving the way for mass transportation of goods, and, during World War One, troops.
Although Benz retired from Design Management in 1903, as a direct result of the Board's decision to hire a raft of French designers, he remained on the board of the company (and its future incarnations) until he died in 1929.
In the 1920s, the economic situation in Germany was precarious.
The impact of World War I and the general political instability in the Weimar Republic led to a series of economic crises, most notably hyperinflation in 1934 when the average cost of a car reached 25 million marks.
As a result of these economic problems, the companies begun by Daimler and Benz (DMG and Benz & Cie.) merged, to form the Daimler Benz Company. All vehicles produced by the company after this would carry the name Benz, as well as Daimler's most popular vehicle to date – the Mercedes. The car brand popularly known as Mercedes-Benz was formed.
What is truly remarkable about the story of Daimler and Benz is that neither man actually met one another, and for much of their careers they were unaware of the other's work.
However, both were truly kindred spirits, and it's interesting to imagine what they may have achieved had they worked together sooner.
Naturally, both men's work ethic and monomania did not make them easy partners, although it seems serendipitous that their two car companies eventually merged. The role of secondary figures such as Wilhelm Maybach and Bertha Benz also play a role in their story.
It was the relentless pursuit of better that led them to innovations in their engines and the development of technology that still exists today.

Ambode's Wife Condemns act of Domestic Violence
Kunle Awosiyan	6 years ago 751
Wife of the Governor of Lagos State, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode has condemned the vexed issue of domestic violence, which has continued to rear its ugly head in the state and across the country.
She made the denunciation in Alausa, Ikeja, against the backdrop of one Mr. Lekan Shonde, who allegedly beat his wife to death at the Egbeda suburb of the state last weekend.
Mrs Ambode lamented that domestic violence in the form of assault on wife, child-beating and other forms of uncivilized behavior against women and children, seemed to have got fresh fancy from some men, who are still living in the primitive times.
She described as totally unacceptable, a situation where a man would callously turn his wife to a punching bag on the flimsy excuse that the helpless woman had either insulted him or refused to carry out his orders.
In her words: "How do you explain a situation where the man you married and one who claims to love you, would descend so heavily on you at the slightest provocation. If he is not complaining about delayed dinner, it is another flimsy excuse that is not tenable anywhere. They do it every now and then even to the extent of killing the helpless woman. For how long will this go on?"
The visibly distraught wife of the governor, advised any woman who found herself in an abusive relationship to retrace her steps when it was still possible, so that she could live to tell her own story.
She rejected the common excuse of societal stigmatization of women who abandoned unpleasant marriages, retorting that "when the woman dies in such a cruel marriage, what then does the society say?
According to her, "Many victims of domestic violence become victims of their own psychological realities. The world of these women is lonely, isolated and filled with fear, with no emotional outlet whatsoever. Sadly, victims wait until it is too late".
She advised, "We should cease to treat domestic violence as a case of "family affair" and then decide not to become involved. The fact that our society is patriarchal and values sanctioned by culture is not enough reason for this epidemic called domestic violence."
Speaking further, she said domestic abuse should be moved from being viewed as a social problem to being viewed as a criminal justice issue.
Mrs Ambode commiserated with all victims of domestic violence, including families of those that died, urging any woman going through such troubled marriages to approach the state's Office of the Public Defender, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Youth & Social Development or the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation for legal assistance at no cost.

Several years ago, I was invited to a wedding ceremony on the banks of Tunga river in Thirthahalli (60 km from Shivamogga). It was a monsoon wedding; the river was swelling but not quite threatening to overflow. After a sumptuous mid-day meal, bidding farewell to the couple, I took off — with no particular destination in mind. The rain was not too bad; it was just drizzling.
During the next couple of days, I went across the place travelling on foot as well as public transport, stopping at unidentified villages, staying and eating at anonymous dwellings. Several popular destinations fell in my way. Mandagadde Bird Sanctuary (30 km from Thirthahalli), one of my first stops, was almost completely swamped and totally deserted. Disregarding the friendly advice from guys who tried to dissuade me from going further, I reached the so-called viewpoint only to find the whole place blanketed in dense fog. Save for the sound of flowing waters, habitation was deafeningly quiet.
By the time I reached Bhadra Dam, the skies had somewhat brightened up. A few tourists were trying (unsuccessfully) to get on to a coracle ride. I managed to cajole a friendly guard to allow me a quick walk along a section of the dam from where I could see the gushing waters. Next day, after a bumpy bus ride, I was in Agumbe (95 km from Shivamogga) which was completely wet and moist. Thick fog made the tall trees bear a ghostly look under the heavily overcast sky. Whistling cool winds kissed my cheek.
At the checkpoint, the forest guard was aghast to see the unshaven and ill-equipped traveller. Annoyed at first, he, later on, took pity and poured a cup of hot tea for me from his flask. When I insisted on wanting to see the sunset point, he gave an umbrella and showed me the way, not before warning me that a colourful sunset in the monsoon in Agumbe would be a joke; that the wet road would be very slippery; and that a snuggling snake shouldn't come as a shock or surprise.
Reaching the spot, about a kilometre away from the checkpost, I found myself shrouded by a thick haze which threatened to wipe out any hint of visibility. I sat on a stone bench and a slow-moving car with its headlights on stopped thinking that I had lost my way. I politely waved the driver to carry on. In a matter of seconds, it started drizzling, followed by a heavy downpour. It took a herculean effort before I could somehow scramble back to the checkpost to return the umbrella to the forest guard, and greedily slurp on some more tea.
Next day, I was back in Bengaluru, weather-beaten but unscathed in spirit. The newspapers had an interesting weather report: on the day I made my trek in Agumbe ghat, the rain had been the heaviest in a decade or so!
Shivamogga has beckoned me many times after that visit. It has too many spots to cover in a single visit. I have seen the Jog Falls when it was full, and also when it was just a trickle. The Sharavathi backwaters would take one's breath away, particularly during sunsets. Temples and historical forts dot many trekking and motorable tracks. Above all, it is a sheer delight to watch the tall, majestic palms and vibrant fields coming to life in monsoon; and to catch the sharecroppers sowing and harvesting on the green turfs.
Over time, one has also seen some improvements in travel and journeying. Roads have become better; connectivity between towns is not too much of a hassle. Homestays and lodges have sprung up, many of them offering eco-friendly rooms and cottages, and serving delicious local cuisines.
Rain or shine, a discerning tourist/traveller would not miss out on places like Mathoor, a quaint village famous for its residents who converse in the classical language of Sanskrit as part of their daily routine. In the culturally rich Heggodu (70 km from Shivamogga), you get to see the repertory theatre Ninasam, founded by 1991 Magsaysay award-winner K V Subbanna. You could also visit Charaka, a women's multipurpose industrial co-operative society, promoted by theatre-person-turned-Gandhian, Prasanna. How can one miss Kuppalli (60 km from Shivamogga), the birthplace of Kuvempu? The Jnanpith award-winning poet's childhood home has been converted into a beautiful museum, Kavimane. Kuppalli also has a superb rock formation where artist K T Shivaprasad's mammoth installation, 'Kavishaila', in honour of the poet, stands firm. To tickle the trekker's interests, Kudremukh and Kodachadri beckon with some of the most picturesque routes and trails.
Shivamogga offers many attractive locales for a casual and serious traveller, but environmentalists are concerned that the influx of tourists and an ineffectually planned 'development' agenda are beginning to do more harm than good.
There are, for instance, frequent reports of indiscriminate felling of trees to make/widen roads and highways. Co-ordination between the agencies involved in the promotion of tourism, wildlife protection, public works like roads and highways, and archaeology, is often found lacking.
Hopefully, the authorities will wake up before it is too late, and maintain Shivamogga's pristine flora and fauna, while continuing to make efforts to attract tourists to its renowned as well as little-known destinations.

Law Society of British Columbia to Widen Access to Legal Services
Date: 16th October 2020 | Jurisdictions: British Columbia | Tags: abs, alternative business structures, costs of regulation, education, education and training, legal services, mdp, regulation, regulatory objectives, regulatory reform
On September the 10th the Law Society of British Columbia elected to make changes suggested by a task force on modernisation established this January.
The task force cited ongoing changes in the legal market, which have been accelerated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the pace of change in other jurisdictions, as to why change was needed.
Recommendations include:
evaluate how existing and emerging technologies can better support legal services and address regulatory impediments that exist in permitting their use
move to amend regulatory structures to allow for innovation in legal service delivery and alternative business structures while protecting the public
re-evaluate current regulations and restrictions on law firm ownership and investment, as well as multi-disciplinary practice and partnership structures to ensure they are not inhibiting innovation
advance its initiative on the regulation of licensed paralegals to improve access to legal services
regularly reach out to and develop resources to support in-house counsel and government lawyers
continue work on Indigenous legal services by understanding where more support is needed and listen to and work with Indigenous peoples to address that need
re-consider the accreditation process for lawyers in British Columbia, with special consideration given to how to incorporate more skills-based training into that process
The task force was set up with the following mandate: "Recognizing that significant change in the legal profession and the delivery of legal services is expected over the next five to 10 years, the Futures Task Force will identify the anticipated changes, consider and evaluate the factors and forces driving those changes, assess the impact on the delivery of legal services to the public, by the profession and on the future regulation of the legal profession in British Columbia, and make recommendations to the Benchers on the implications of the anticipated changes and how the Law Society and the profession might respond to the anticipated changes."
And began the recommendations by saying: "Change is constant in all aspects of our lives, and this is true in the practice of law as well. Client expectations, competition among lawyers and with other professionals, technology, generational expectations, and societal norms all affect what lawyers do and how they carry out their practice in important ways. Society's expectations of what lawyers do and how they should do it also change. How lawyers keep up with these changes is very important for the availability of efficient and affordable legal services and for the confidence that the public has in the legal profession as a whole, and equally important for the sustainability of their practices and their personal well-being. A legal profession that is incapable of achieving outcomes that resonate with what society expects is one in which the public will eventually lose confidence. "

Mayson Report: Final report published
Date: 23rd June 2020 | Jurisdictions: England and Wales | Tags: costs of regulation, entity regulation, publications, regulation, regulation of technology, regulatory objectives, regulatory reform
The highly anticipated denouement of the Independent Review of Legal Services, which was first launched in October 2018, was published on the 11th June. The 340-page report which has been informed by a number of working papers, as well as an interim report, which has been fed into by a variety of actors in the legal sector is entitled Reforming legal services: Regulation beyond the echo chambers.
Professor Mayson has suggested in the report that all providers of legal services, should be registered and regulated by a single regulator, whether they are legally qualified or not. He suggested that regulation should move from the regulation of lawyers to the regulation of legal services, with different levels of regulation being applied depending on the public risk inherent in the work. By extension, this would mean that traditional legal qualifications would no longer be the sole entry point into the profession.
The report has been submitted to the Lord Chancellor, however, the Ministry of Justice in the UK has suggested that they currently do not plan to review the Legal Services Act 2007. Professor Mayson has therefore suggested shorter-term measures that can be introduced, as he feels that action must come sooner rather than later.
Professor Mayson suggested that especially as demand has moved online, the public are increasingly unaware of their rights in relation to regulated professionals, whilst lawyers are operating under a system where only a small percentage of their work is covered under the regulatory regimes they are supposed to work under. "The conclusion of this review is that the regulatory framework should better reflect the legitimate needs and expectations of the more than 90% of the population for whom it is not currently designed," he wrote. The new framework would also allow for new provides such as lawtech providers to act within a regulated sector.
Professor Mayson also described the current arrangement of 10 front-line regulators plus an oversight regulator as "cumbersome", and recommended replacing it with a single, independent regulator – the Legal Services Regulation Authority (LSRA). "The requirement for flexibility, consistency, coherence and coordination across regulation within the legal services sector necessarily leads to a single regulator," the report said.
Download a full copy of the report (PDF).
The response from regulators has been mixed with CILEx (read the CILEx response) and the Association of Costs Lawyers (read the Association of Costs Lawyers response) backing professor Mayson's report, and the LSB (read the LSB response) saying that they will carefully consider his recommendations in relation to their ongoing work in reforming legal regulation. Whilst the Law Society (read the Law Society response) has suggested that given the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, now is not the time to discuss reforms.

Costs of regulation in England and Wales
Date: 23rd October 2015 | Jurisdictions: England and Wales | Owner: Legal Services Board | Tags: costs of regulation, research report
The Legal Services Board found little evidence on the costs of legal sector regulation, so in late 2014 it surveyed the regulated community and in 2015 it commissioned a study of the incremental costs of regulation – those incurred to comply with legal regulation.
Categories of regulatory cost in the studies include:
Requirements to have separate client accounts
Information requests from the regulator (including applying for practising certificates).
Consumer information disclosure
Ongoing supervision activity by the regulator
File retention
Keeping up to date with changes to regulations
Professional development training course fees

So I have had the combo for 2 weekends / 10 days, and it time for me to decide. Keep them, take one, or both back.
I wanted something lighter than my 500mm to hike deeper into the mountains and also have a back up to the 500mm. I wanted a more compact travel lens that I would count on and not be forced to feel like I left something home going without my trusty 50mm. Mission accomplished. The lens is extremely well built. On par with the mark ii version of the 70-200 IS. The lens focused and tracks well on both bodies I used it on. It is slightly slower to lock on that my 70-200mm or my 500mm prime. But then again I would expect it to. It held focus really well. The IS is very quiet and smooth. A definite improvement over a handheld Canon 400mm 5.6 without IS. The over size of the lens is shorter than the 70-200 and will be making a home in my camera bag!
It is like this pair was designed at Canon to be paired together. The combo is incredible!
One of my favorite Eagle photos came from this combo during my field testing.
Captured under perfect light and perfect conditions!
This combo is perfect for sports and or wildlife. I didn't have the chance to shoot any sports with it, but it might be limited by the f5.6 @ 400mm on a game under the lights. It should perform well on daytime games. My keeper rate on birds in flight was higher than normal with this combo. I am accrediting this to the lighter weight and being able to hand hold verses shooting from a tripod and gimbal. If you are looking for a really solid pair, the search is over. If you are coming from anything other than a Canon 1DX, you will be very happy with the performance and results from this combination.
I was also asked to test the 7D2 + 1.4 TC + 100-400 2 = 896mm. This combination is a ton of reach for the money. I did find it to be too much zoom to effectively handhold. I shot it off my gimbal and got decent results. Softer and slower to track. Here is a sample result.
What got me interested in this body is a couple things. First I used to have two matched gripped 7D's. I shot weddings and wildlife successfully with them. I finally saved up enough to buy a 1DX for Christmas 2013. Right away I sold one of the 7D's and held the other one for a backup. I never picked up my backup 7D once. Once rumors of the new 7D2 were flying I sold my second backup 7D before the used market prices fell.
So I have been shooting without a backup body for 6 or 7 months and my camera fund had grown enough to start shopping. My son upgraded one of his 7D's to a 5DMKiii. I have really enjoyed shooting with his 5D3. I was torn between staying fullframe and getting a 5D3, or trying out the 7D2. So that brings up to the past 10 days and my field testing.
If this combo would have been around before I bought my 1DX, I would be owning 2 of them. One gripped and one without a grip. But I already own and have mastered my Canon 1DX, so I find the 7D2 a step down and the body will be returned.
The 7D2 body MSPP is 1800, the Canon 1DX MSRP is 6800. It wasn't ever fair for me to compare the the two. I was hoping for 80% of the 1DX for 38% of the price. Dont get me wrong this is a SOLID body and WAY better than the 7D1. I am blessed and can afford the 1DX for my hobby. I will be picking up a 5D3 or a second 1DX if when the price falls.
I really hope people don't take my review in anyway of bashing the 7D2. I just don't need a second wildlife camera, and really needed more of a landscape / portrait camera body.
If there is interest, I'll do another review of the 5D3 after she arrives. Hope the past 10 days worth of blogs have been worth your time, but I figured tons of other people are struggling with the same question: where is the best bang for the buck?
Keeping the 100-400 mkii, returning the 7D2 body.
I would also like to take a moment to thank all my new blog followers and supporters!
Saturday 1/17/15 was my last Eagle trip with the combination of the New Canon 7D mkii and the new Canon 100-400mm IS Mark ii.
Light was crappy all day. I also was lucky enough to have a paid client that day, so I didn't focus much my photography as much as making sure he knew his gear and his subject. A few minor tweaks and he was off and having the time of his life photographing my Bald Eagles on the Mississippi River at Lock and Dam 14.
Anyway on with the review. This will be my last write up before tomorrow big total review on which gear I will be keeping and if any gear is being returned.
I think this last image comparison speaks loudly. Final write up later tonight or tomorrow!
I would also like to take a moment to thank all my new blog followers and supporters! I think this blog had roughly 50 subscribers, and as the time of this post it is at 112!
Once again all images straight out of the camera raw. No post processing other than the labels. I wanted the images to be the closer to same size without cropping to be a true comparison. I moved the 7D2 back to shoot Harley Bear full frame, and moved tripod closer for the 1DX. Everything shot in this test was with the new Canon 70-200mm IS Mark ii at 100mm.
I know the 1DX is good shooting to ISO 5,000 and I have shot at 6400 and it was still usable. This script I wrote to slide back and forth doesn't work well or at all on some mobile devices and didn't want to load this post down with extra images. So here is the rest of the 7D2 higher ISO, no comparisons, but wanted you to have the reference points since Scott Kelby pushed his to 16,000 I did too!
Found some more birds this morning. Eagles tomorrow, not sure I will go out Sunday. Anything else you want to see or me to test before my final write up next week?
I am a photographer. I have never claimed to be a photographic lab rat. No fancy equipment, just man and cameras. I wanted to provide real life field testing results. People have been calling the new Canon 7D mark ii the junior Canon 1DX. I had sold both my 7D's when I bought my Canon 1DX last year. I have been missing a backup body. I have been torn between the 7D mark ii and the full body Canon 5D mark iii. I ended up buying this combo from Best Buy for the 15 day return policy. I knew I have 2 weeks to crank the combo through as many test and lighting conditions as I could.
So this review is a comparison of both the Canon 7D Mark ii and the Canon 1DX with different combination of lenses. Here is the setup. Could find any stationary wildlife so had to recreate. It was freaking cold that day. I set my tripod with my Gimbal head in my garage (wind break) and set Harley Bear 40 yards away across the street. I struggled a bit with how to best show the results. Here it is never before seen RAW unprocessed images right out of both camera. Up until now I have never posted an raw image without my signature processing script. I knew I couldn't use any noise reduction or sharpening or it would be a processing test not a focus / sharpness test. You can use the slider to see either or both images. I plan to use this same image slider to show the high ISO test.
See how much free reach you get with the 1.6 crop factor? Another way to think about it is the 7D2 has a built in 1.6 Teleconverter.
This is the test I was most interested in. Is the 7D2 "Good Enough" to hike in the woods and use as a backup to my primary camera combo the Canon 1DX + Canon 500mm f4 IS. I was interested in total weight and ease of carrying. The 100-400 is shorter and lighter than the Canon 70-200 mark ii.
I was asked after I did this test to also shoot the Canon 7D mark ii with the 100-400 mark ii with the teleconverter. I found this setup to be very shaky as I tried to track and shoot Eagles free hand. This combo needs to be shot from the tripod, and if time allows I will do that test this weekend.
As promised here are "Six Pack on Ice". These were taken on Sunday 1/11/15. Not over exposed, feel a little hot to me. Might have had something to do with them standing on a large photo reflector in harsh mid day sun!
I had to work today, so as soon as I finish a little web work, heading down to my studio to put the 7D2 through some high ISO comparison.


I'm still grappling with the decision that I've made to let it go and have had to be honest with myself about outgrowing frameworks, even ones that I love dearly. It's kind of dramatic, I know, but a real mourning process has been happening for me. Before moving forward to something new, I've been taking the time to look back over each year's planner design, including the way I've utilized the elements within and the memories they hold.
Each year, I've witnessed the design iterations. The dimensions became larger, typography changed, and even the paper went from matte, to coated, and back to matte. This was evidence of listening to the needs of the users (I was rooting for matte paper and a larger planner. See taped notes and writing in the margins) and those changes impacted my experience. The biggest impact, however, was the content.
I won't list all of the inside features but I will say that things like identifying my core desired feelings and reading positive declarations every single day became a tool for intentionality.
The planner was evolving, and so was I.
Requiring more space for notes in the first year's Desire Map Planner and appreciating the practice of 'core desired feelings'.
Year two expanded in size and started to offer healing mantras. Still, I'm writing things to remember in the white space, such as: Body cleanse from past relationships.
Year Three: Do I just have a thing for post-it notes?
My lifework became more complex and if my planner really wasn't a diary, you'd be viewing more snapshots of my monthly calendar spreads filled from margin to margin on all sides.
This past year especially (even after switching from weekly to daily) I've been needing more space for strategizing and ideating - even on the weekends.
Side note: When someone doesn't have a traditional 9-5 or Monday-Friday work schedule, limited space on the weekends to plan doesn't consider those who are broadening the definition of a work week. we have important THINGS to do on the weekends, too.
I started writing on the margins, crossing things out, adding more post-it notes to make it work for my new flow needs and even created separate weekly goal templates. It was becoming clear that I needed something that was about visioning and implementing. There were some days when I didn't utilize the prompts or spreads at all — a sign that I was ready for something else, I just wasn't sure what that something else was.
For the last several months, I went back and forth in my mind, on whether to make the shift to something new. I had developed an attachment to the Desire Map Planner (it was a healthy attachment) but needed to be honest that although I've loved my relationship with this planner system it was no longer working for me. In this case, planners are like ex-partners: Just because there may be things that you miss about them, it doesn't mean they're what you currently need in life to help nurture your growth and possibility.
I throw absolutely no shade though. I've talked this planner up to so many people and still believe that it's a beautiful planning system that can facilitate a soulful experience in someone's day-to-day. It's just not working for me anymore.
Meet my new planning partner, Unbound.
Unbound was saying all of the right things and eventually proving to back up things like, "Unbound helps you align your daily routine with your big dreams." It does indeed.
After trying it for the month of December with their free download, I made the purchase.
Finally. I found someone offering the space to dream up big goals and get into specifics for projects, thoughts, and tasks all in one place. One of my favorite highlights are the self-reflections at the beginning, middle and end of the year to bring things into perspective. And, it's beautiful to look at.
I have no doubt that there will be some challenges to move through during this transition. Still, I've no regrets and am proud of myself for listening to my needs. This is me taking steps outside of what has been my comfort zone for so many years. It feels good. It feels aligned.
So, here I am. Welcoming this new, thoughtfully guided planning companion into my everyday life. It's a brilliant design that has arrived at just the right time.
If you're interested in trying Unbound's monthly and weekly spreads for January 2019, you can download the free PDF on their website here.

Q: Base of vectors in $\mathbb{Z}_5$ I have little problem.
$$((2,4),(1,0))$$ How can I check its base in $\mathbb{ Z}_5^2$ ? Can I just do classic methods like in other set of numbers? Or is it different?

A: One way is to write it in matrix form: $\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1\\4 & 0\end{pmatrix}$, viewed as matrix over $\mathbb{Z}_5$.
Then argue that this matrix lies in $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}_5)$ by showing that its determinant is invertible in $\mathbb{Z}_5$.

The US should use its leverage on Syria
Ambassador Nikki Haley excoriated Moscow for blocking action against the Syrian regime for its illegal use of chemical weapons.
The US should use its leverage on Syria Ambassador Nikki Haley excoriated Moscow for blocking action against the Syrian regime for its illegal use of chemical weapons. Check out this story on timesrecordnews.com: http://wtrne.ws/2lHs4I5
Wichita Published 9:18 a.m. CT March 3, 2017 | Updated 9:25 a.m. CT March 3, 2017
The new U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, addresses a Security Council meeting of the United Nations, Thursday, Feb. 2, 2017.(Photo: Richard Drew, AP)
President Donald Trump's relations with, and intentions toward, the Russian regime of Vladimir Putin remain troublingly opaque. So it was a pleasant surprise on Tuesday when his ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, excoriated Moscow for blocking action against the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad for its illegal use of chemical weapons. Russia and China, which joined in vetoing a sanctions resolution, "made an outrageous and indefensible choice,"Haley said. "They turned away from defenseless men, women and children who died gasping for breath when Assad's forces dropped their poisonous gas. They ignored the facts. They put their friends in the Assad regime ahead of our global security."
Haley was only stating plain truths. An investigation ordered by the U.N. Security Council concluded months ago that Syrian government forces dropped chlorine-filled barrel bombs on rebel-controlled areas three times in 2014 and 2015 - a blatant violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention that the Assad regime joined in 2013. In reality, Damascus has used the horrific weapons considerably more often than that; Human Rights Watch found that it dropped them systematically on civilians in Aleppo last year. Yet Moscow and Beijing refused to accept the evidence and tried to put off a vote on sanctioning those found responsible for the attacks.
Haley, who lunched with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence the day before the Security Council's meeting, insisted on a vote so that the Putin and Xi Jinping regimes were forced to go on the record. Then she bluntly called them out. "It's a sad day on the Security Council," she said. "When members start making excuses for other member states killing their own people, the world is definitely a more dangerous place."
The ambassador's forceful diplomacy was useful for more than sending the message that the Trump administration will be, like all U.S. administrations before it, ready to oppose war crimes. We hope it also is meant to put Putin on notice that Trump's stated willingness to join with him in fighting the Islamic State will not extend to tolerating gross human rights violations or propping up the blood-soaked Assad dictatorship. An alliance with Russia that abetted such actions would only discredit the United States, including with its major allies in the Middle East; the chief beneficiary would be Iran, which has made the Assad regime its puppet and which has the largest interest in sustaining it.
Putin, who has frequently hinted that he could be willing to dispense with Assad, has been trying to orchestrate a new Syrian peace process with Turkey that all but excludes the United States. Predictably, it is going nowhere - in part because, as The Washington Post's Liz Sly reports, players on both sides are waiting to see what stance the new U.S. administration adopts. This is leverage that Trump should use: If Putin wants his help to settle the Syrian conflict and protect Russia's interests there, he should be obliged to split with Iran and abandon a regime that drops chlorine on women and children.

What is PII (personally identifiable information)?
Personally identifiable information (PII) is any data that could identify a specific person, such as a name, government-issued ID number, date of birth, occupation, or address.
Encryption and privacy
Explain what 'PII' means
Identify the two main types of PII
Contrast PII with other legal definitions of personal data
Data localization
Personally identifiable information (PII) is any data that can be used to identify someone. All information that directly or indirectly links to a person is considered PII. One's name, email address, phone number, bank account number, and government-issued ID number are all examples of PII.
Many organizations today collect, store, and process PII. When these collections of data are breached or leaked, people may become victims of identity theft or other attacks. In addition, the collection of PII sometimes undermines privacy as people lose control and visibility of what happens to their personal information. For these reasons, it is important to protect PII and limit its collection when possible.
How does the National Institute of Security Technology define PII?
There is no single definition of PII, even though it is referenced by many official sources. The National Institute of Security Technology (NIST) has one of the most widely referenced definitions of PII:
"Any information about an individual maintained by an agency, including (1) any information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name, social security number, date and place of birth, mother's maiden name, or biometric records; and (2) any other information that is linked or linkable to an individual, such as medical, educational, financial, and employment information."
What are the two main types of PII?
The two main types of PII are information that directly identifies someone and information that indirectly identifies someone.
Here is how the NIST definition of PII distinguishes between these types of information.
Some information directly identifies a person. A full name, a Social Security number, or a physical address are all examples of this type of information.
Linked or linkable information does not directly identify a person but can identify them indirectly: in other words, when combined with another piece of information.
Suppose Jake lives at 1060 West Addison Street. The first name "Jake" alone is likely not enough to identify him, because Jake is a common first name shared by many people in the US. But when combined with the address 1060 West Addison Street, it could be possible to identify the specific person in question.
This concept, with slightly different terminology, also appears in other definitions of PII. For instance, the US Department of Labor lists the following definition for PII:
"Any representation of information that permits the identity of an individual to whom the information applies to be reasonably inferred by either direct or indirect means. Further, PII is defined as information: (i) that directly identifies an individual (e.g., name, address, social security number or other identifying number or code, telephone number, email address, etc.) or (ii) by which an agency intends to identify specific individuals in conjunction with other data elements, i.e., indirect identification [emphasis added]."
The important point here is that all information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual should be protected.
(A similar concept applies to pseudonymization: pseudonymized data can be combined with other data to directly identify an individual. See What is pseudonymization? to learn more.)
Is PII the same as 'personal information' or 'personal data'?
The general concept behind all these terms is similar: any information that relates to a specific person can be considered "personal."
However, different data privacy regulations use different terms for data that can be used to identify someone. The term "PII" is largely used in the US, while the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), an EU privacy framework, instead refers to "personal data," and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) refers to "personal information."
Additionally, each piece of privacy legislation has its own definitions for personal information, personal data, or PII; organizations should carefully review the descriptions in the legislation that applies to them.
Why is PII an important concept for privacy?
Privacy generally refers to the ability of a person to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent personal information about them (such as PII) is shared with others. In order to protect their privacy, people need to know who is collecting their PII and what is done with it.
To protect PII and user privacy, organizations need to know what PII they have and how that PII is kept secure. Many sources also recommend limiting PII collection and usage. Doing so is considered a Fair Information Practice (learn more).
