New Zenith ambassador
By MyWatch
Jean-Frédéric Dufour, Ceo of the Zenith watchmaking manufacturer, has just announced the return of Colonel John Blashford-Snell to the circle of Zenith ambassadors. This title con?rms a longstanding reality. for the last 40 years, the British explorer has proudly worn a Zenith El Primero chronograph on his expe- ditions across the world, since he participated in the great British Trans-Americas mission – 29,000 km from Alaska to the Tierra del Fuego (land of fire), through the previously impenetrable swampy jungle of the complete Darién gap. Colonel Blashford-Snell has organised and directed more than 100 expeditions during which his El Primero chronograph has been through the worst possible conditions : the intense cold of Alaska, extreme humidity of the swamps of Central and South America, the jungles on the banks of the Blue Nile and Congo river, desert sand… Today, like a hand that has completed a sweep of the dial, this chronograph (which still works perfectly !) has come back to Le Locle, because the Colonel has just donated it to the future Zenith museum. Rightly so, the manufacture Zenith is paying tribute to this exceptional person by launching a John Blashford-Snell limited edition inspired by the El Primero Stratos Flyback model.
The beginnings of an explorer's vocation
What chronograph can claim to have withstood such a test of its resistance and reliability by spending more than 40 years on the wrist of one of the most tireless explorers of modern times ? For that is de?nitely how Colonel Blashford-Snell is best described. His adventures began in 1968, when the Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia invited the British army to put together an expedition to attempt the ?rst descent of the Blue Nile. John Blashford-Snell led this project. In 1969, once the mission was accomplished, he returned to England, and founded the Scienti?c Exploration Society in order to encourage and promote scienti?c exploration across the world. (It is worth pointing out at this juncture that the El Primero movement was launched that same year).
His expeditions always had scienti?c, medical, geographical or environmen- tal objectives. After the Blue Nile, he needed a new challenge, which turned out to be one of his most challenging missions – the British Trans-Americas – crossing the American continent from the extreme north to the extreme south. The main challenge was the crossing of the complete Darién Gap in a motor vehicle. This is a swampy jungle area, 400 km long, up until then thought to be completely impassable (see box). Following this exploit, the "Pan American Highway Authority" administration, responsible for the great road that connects the very north of the Americas, to the extreme south, aimed to spend the 150 million dollars required to build the last stretch of the Pan American Highway that would cross the Darién Gap, taking the same route as this glorious epic. After this expedition, John Blashford-Snell continued to wear the ZENITH El Primero chronograph that was given to him by the watchmaking manufacturer for the occasion.
A life dedicated to exploration and discovery
John Blashford-Snell also took part in new adventures, the one that ?rst springs to mind is the descent of the entire 4700 km length of the Congo River in 1974-1975. He was also committed to sharing his passion, doing this through Operation Drake from 1978 to 1980 (a project in which 400 young people from 27 nations took part, sailing a British ship transformed into a ?oating laboratory which accomplished a number of exploratory missions), followed by Operation Raleigh from 1984 to 1992. Having retired from the British Army in 1991 after 37 years of service, Colonel Blashford-Snell continued to lead similar projects, undertaking a series of explorations of South American rivers, seeking archaeological remains and scienti?c observations (Kota Mama Expeditions). Most recently, from 2009-2010, he directed a hunt for a meteorite in Bolivia and studied giant elephants in the Nepalese jungle. In 2011, he launched an expedition in Mongolia, in the Gobi desert. At nearly 75, he has lost nothing of his drive !
John Blashford-snell : the same "pioneering spirit"
In 1974, John Blashford-Snell was awarded the Segrave Trophy for "Courage, Initiative, Skill and Spirit of Adventure" that he had demonstrated so often, and for his participation in "the Development of Air, Land, River and Sea Transport". The medals awarded to him by the Royal Geographical Society and the Institute of Royal Engineers attest to his missions' contribution to the progress of knowledge. The Colonel is currently President of the Scienti?c Exploration Society, and the water charity Just a Drop. He has held the Order of the British Empire since 1991 for his action in the context of the Operation Raleigh, which contributed to developing a sense of initiative and responsibility in young people (many of them from underprivileged backgrounds), and making them "true young pioneers".
All of these distinctive qualities demonstrate a certain mindset, which combines an enterprising spirit, a will to excel by constantly taking on new challenges ; a passion for knowledge and discovery ; as well as a deep sense of human values. This mindset exactly mirrors that of the Manufacture ZENITH, that brand CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour sums up as follows : "The expression 'pioneering spirit' best de?nes the ZENITH brand, which has often been a trailblazer in uncharted territory. What is remarkable about ZENITH is this abil- ity to give birth to new ideas, and then commit to new technical challenges. Our watches have accompanied some of the greatest human adventures : the discovery of the North and South poles, conducted by the explorer Roald Amundsen ; Mahatma Ghandi's peaceful struggle for Indian independence ; the ecological principles of Crown Prince Albert 1st of Monaco ; Louis Blériot's Channel crossing ; John F. Kennedy's political activities ; and the solo ?ight of the North Pole in a hot air balloon by French doctor Jean-Louis Etienne, to name but a few." It was only right that Colonel John Blashford-Snell's name be of?cially engraved as an ambassador of the brand alongside the list of illustrious personalities who have chosen ZENITH chronographs.
Zenith, a passion for innovation
Instead of resting on his laurels after the success of the British Trans-Americas expedition, John Blashford-Snell constantly took on new explorations ! Similarly, as a remarkable pioneer in its own right, the Manufacture ZENITH could have continued to reproduce identical El Primero mechanisms to the one the Colonel has put to the test for its reliability since 1971. Created two years previously, the El Primero calibre was the ?rst mechanical movement in the world to beat at a rate of ten vibrations per second, whereas all existing ones achieved eight vibrations per second at best. But even after having surpassed a barrier that was considered unbeatable, ZENITH remained driven by a tireless spirit of discovery, and was responsible for equipping the El Primero with new complications. ZENITH is currently marketing a 500-piece El Primero Stratos Flyback special edition christened John Blashford-Snell in tribute to its faithful ambassador. The Colonel personally participated in developing the speci?cations. He wanted "an ultra-resistant instrument with exceptional readability". The result is a steel case and bracelet, silver-toned dial and black counters for maximum contrast, with Super-LuminovaTM on the hands and hour-markers. This "Special Mission" watch is equipped with a ?yback function, a unidirectional rotating bezel and a telemetric scale on the inner bezel ring.
The British trans-americas expedition, 1971-1972
ZENITH has always supported daring projects and people seeking to push phys- ical or intellectual limits as far as possible. In 1971-1972, the Manufacture was therefore amongst the companies that supported the British Trans-Americas Expedition. This was right at the beginning of adventure sponsorship, which has since become a widespread practice. Although many members of the expedition came from the British armed forces, in close cooperation with the Columbian, Panamanian and US armed forces, Range Rover supplied the two vehicles (two models from a series initially intended for exportation to Switzerland), Marks & Spencer supplied the clothes, Heinz the food… ZENITH supplied the watches to the whole team and equipped the leader, John Blashford-Snell, with a watch pow- ered by its latest and most accurate calibre : the El Primero Chronograph.
After a year of tough training, the expedition left from Anchorage on December 3rd 1971, initially crossing Alaska, and the Yukon, in the snow and on frozen roads. In Canada, one of the Range Rovers had an accident, but it was repaired from Vancouver. The expedition reached San Francisco on December 23rd and there-after Los Angeles on the 24th. Still going south, they crossed Mexico and South America, arriving in Panama City on January 12th.
The toughest part of the expedition started here – the Darién Gap – known locally as El Tapón "the plug", known in English as "The Gap"– a gap of some 400 km in the Pan-American Highway, an area completely devoid of any useable road in many places, where rare tracks in the jungle were known only to locals. Usually, cars went around this extensive area of tropical swamps on boats. Crossing El Tapón appeared impossible and far too dangerous due to the hostile bandits, dis- ease and aggressive fauna.
It was the aim of this expedition to study the fauna and ?ora and to open a pas- sage. They started on January 19th 1972, when the rainy season, which was ?ve weeks longer than usual, had turned the rare passages of terra ?rma into thick, black glutinous mud. The path was hacked with a machete and chain saw or using aluminium ladders over certain obstacles, fording the worst areas. The progress was slow – averaging barely 3 km per day – while a mistake in the route resulted in losing ten days. Despite these dif?culties, due to incredible strength and tenacity, after 96 days, on April 23rd 1972, the expedition regained solid ground, after the ?nal crossing of the great Atrato swamp. For the ?rst time, motor vehicles had vanquished the complete El Tapón.
After a thorough overhaul of the Range Rovers, the expedition continued its route right down South America – Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Patagonia and the Land of Fire (Tierra del Fuego)… They arrived at Ushuaia and Cape Horn on June 10th 1972, after a 29,000 km trip. An achievement that is comparable, albeit on a completely different scale, to that accomplished by the El Primero movement with its 36,000 vibrations per hour…!!!


We realize this is kind of a strange question. You eat...when you eat...right? But January is the month when every piece of food media is blaring about healthy eating and restraint, so we've been giving our own eating choices a little extra thought. Do you eat when you're hungry? Do you eat on a specific schedule? Do you eat whether you're hungry or not? How do you decide when to eat?
Over the holidays, away from the set schedule of the regular work week, my husband and I found that our eating habits completely relaxed. We were getting up later and going to bed later, so our meal times shifted accordingly.
But without the context clues of alarm clocks and group lunch breaks, we also found that we would just eat when we were hungry. One day that meant lunch at 1pm, and another day that meant lunch at 3pm. Some days we would have a huge breakfast, a light lunch, and a bigger dinner. Other days, lunch was the major meal. All in all, I felt like I was eating according to what my body wanted whenever it happened to want it. I felt satisfied and happy.
This really got me thinking about eating habits. Back from vacation, we don't always have the luxury of eating whenever we want. Things like afternoon meetings and commute times get in the way of that. Breakfast is also always a conundrum — most health professionals say we should eat it, but what if we're just not hungry?
So, dear readers, I open it up to you. What are your eating habits? How do you decide when to eat?


River Capital Advisors of North Carolina, Inc. v. FCS Advisors, Inc.
River Capital Advisors of North Carolina, Inc.v.FCS Advisors, Inc.
RIVER CAPITAL ADVISORS OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC., Plaintiff-Appellee, v. FCS ADVISORS, INC. and BREVET CAPITAL SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES MASTER FUND, L.P. Defendants-Appellants.
The plaintiff broker, River Capital Advisors of North Carolina, Inc. ("River Capital"), was engaged by a prospective borrower, Aruba Energy, LLC ("Aruba"), to assist in obtaining substantial financing for a start-up business in the oil and gas industry. The defendants-appellants, FCS Advisors, Inc., and Brevet Capital Special Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. ("Appellants"), agreed to make the loan to Aruba in installments. When Aruba notified Appellants that a significant portion of the proceeds of one of the initial loan installments would be allocated to pay River Capital's brokerage fee, Appellants declined to make the loan and requested that Aruba and River Capital agree to defer nearly the entire brokerage fee until a later date. Aruba and River Capital agreed to do so. Once the remaining portion of the brokerage fee became due, Appellants refused to grant Aruba's borrowing request that would enable Aruba to pay River Capital, because Aruba was in default at the time the request was made. River Capital sued Appellants to recover the fee owed by Aruba on a theory that Appellants tortiously interfered with River Capital's agreement with Aruba. After a bench trial, the district court rendered judgment in favor of River Capital on the grounds that Appellants had granted other borrowing requests by Aruba during that same time period while Aruba was in default. We reverse because the loan agreement between Appellants and Aruba provided Appellants the right to decline the installment loan at issue if Aruba was in default.
The district court had subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, and we have jurisdiction over this timely appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
"When reviewing a district court decision after a bench trial, we review factual findings for clear error and conclusions of law de novo." We also review mixed questions of law and fact de novo. A factual finding is clearly erroneous when "although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." "Like contract interpretation, tortious interference with contract is a mixed question of law and fact. Conclusions of law are reviewed de novo. In contrast, whether the elements of contractual interference have been satisfied is a factual question . . . ."

In re Luhr Bros., Inc., 325 F.3d 681, 684 (5th Cir. 2003).
In re Renaissance Hosp. Grand Prairie Inc., 713 F.3d 285, 293 (5th Cir. 2013) (quoting Anderson v. City of Bessemer City, N.C., 470 U.S. 564, 573 (1985)).
Ham Marine, Inc. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 72 F.3d 454, 461 (5th Cir. 1995).
The Appellants raise a number of defenses. We conclude that their justification defense clearly resolves this appeal. Appellants contend that, under Texas law, they were justified in denying Aruba's borrowing request for the loan out of which the Success Fee to River Capital would be paid because Aruba was in default at the time the request was made. Thus, Appellants argue the district court erred in imposing liability on them under a theory of tortious interference with River Capital's contract with Aruba.
"Texas jurisprudence has long recognized that a party to a contract has a cause of action for tortious interference against any third person . . . who wrongly induces another contracting party to breach the contract." To establish a claim for tortious interference with contract under Texas law, a plaintiff must prove: (1) the existence of a contract subject to interference, (2) a willful and intentional act of interference; (3) the act was a proximate cause of the plaintiff's damages; and (4) actual damages or loss. "Even if a plaintiff establishes the elements of [tortious interference], a defendant may still prevail upon establishing the affirmative defense of justification."
Holloway v. Skinner, 898 S.W.2d 793, 794-95 (Tex. 1995).
Texas Beef Cattle Co. v. Green, 921 S.W.2d 203, 210 (Tex. 1996).
Under Texas law, the justification defense is based on the exercise of (1) one's own legal rights, or (2) a good-faith claim to a colorable legal right, even though that claim ultimately proves to be mistaken. If the defendant has a legal right to interfere with a contract, then he "has conclusively established the justification defense, and the motivation behind assertion of that right is irrelevant." "[I]n a tortious interference case, a defendant's motivation behind the assertion of a legal right is irrelevant since the right conclusively establishes the justification defense."
Prudential Ins. Co. of Am. v. Fin. Review Servs. Inc., 29 S.W.3d 74, 80 (Tex. 2000) (citing Texas Beef, 921 S.W.2d at 211).
Texas Beef, 921 S.W.2d at 211 (citation omitted).
Calvillo v. Gonzalez, 922 S.W.2d 928, 929 (Tex. 1996).
The district court concluded that Appellants could not rely upon the justification defense because they "failed to establish that they acted in good faith in exercising a colorable legal right, and, as a result, their privilege/justification defense does not provide an independent basis to bar Plaintiff from the relief sought herein." The court found that Appellants' refusal to fund Aruba's borrowing requests for payment of the Success Fee due to default was inconsistent with its other conduct during that same period. The court characterized the Appellants' conduct as "pick[ing] and choos[ing] which creditors of Aruba would be paid."
We conclude that the district court erred in identifying the relevant legal right exercised by Appellants to deny Aruba's Borrowing Requests. Appellants, as lender, were entitled to deny borrowing requests if Aruba, the borrower, was in default under the provisions of the Term Loan Agreement.
Section 2 of the Term Loan Agreement provides that Appellants, as lender, had "no obligation to make any Term Loan unless and until the conditions set forth in this Section 2, and the applicable conditions set forth elsewhere in [the] Agreement, including Section 4, have been satisfied . . . ." Section 4.2 of the Agreement, which contains various Conditions Precedent to the funding of a Term Loan, gives Appellants the right to deny a Borrowing Request if Aruba was in default. The fact that Aruba was in default is undisputed. As explained above, the provisions of the Term loan Agreement give Appellants the legal right to deny a borrowing request when the borrower is in default. Thus, Appellants are not required to establish that they acted in good faith, since the assertion of a legal right "conclusively establishe[s] the justification defense." Our inquiry ends there. Appellants were justified under Texas law to deny Aruba's borrowing request, regardless of their motive for doing so. Therefore, Appellants were legally justified in declining to make the loan and did not tortiously interfere with River Capital's contract with Aruba.
(c) No Default. No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date or after giving effect to the Term Loans requested to be made on such date.
Calvillo, 922 S.W.2d at 929. See also In re Wright, 138 F.App'x. 690, 694 (5th Cir. 2005) (unpublished) ("First, we think Texas law, as set forth in Texas Beef Cattle and Calvillo, . . . recognizes the justification defense regardless of . . . motive.").
We also see no basis to say the lender was in bad faith simply because it made some loans and denied others. That is what bankers do. For example, loans necessary for the borrower which is in default to continue operations may well be approved and other loans declined; exercising judgment is required and we should be extremely hesitant to second guess such decisions.
Accordingly, we reverse the district court and render judgment in favor of Appellants. REVERSED and RENDERED.


From the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius in Naples, our ship moved south to Messina, Sicily, the large island that looks like it's getting kicked by the boot of Italy. We were surprised at how close together the two land masses are. Our tour in Messina took us near the top of Mt. Etna, an active volcano. The latest large eruptions were in 1992 and in 2002. There is still a small eruption going on opposite of the place we visited and is only visible at night when the glow of the small lava flow can be seen.
This lava looks very different than what we have seen in Hawaii. It has much more iron in it and appears very red. It also seems to be finer—not as heavy as the lava flows look near Hilo. There are several craters rather than just one large one.
The area is also known for its honey production. There was every kind of flavored honey you could imagine. We were told the flavors came from the different types of pollen the bees made their honey from but I suspect some of the flavors, like strawberry, actually had flavoring added.
Moving on to Turkey. . .
Caleb and I read a book about volcanoes last night...so he was a little alarmed that you are so near one!
This series is so fun. What wonderful and exotic places you've been to. A scrapbook of travels might be next in the works.

Q: Disable Helper Function Not Updating When Changes Are Made Here's The Code I'm Working With:
function TodoCard() {
  const taskArray = [
    { todo: "pancakes", completed: false, id: 1 },
    { todo: "cornflakes", completed: false, id: 2 },
    { todo: "bananas", completed: false, id: 3 },
  ];

  const [tasks, setTasks] = useState(taskArray);

  function disabledHelper(task) {
    return task.completed === true ? true : false;
  }

  return (

Testing

      {tasks.map((task) => {
        return (
          <Button
            className="button"
            variant="contained"
            color="secondary"
            size="large"
            onClick={() => {
              task.completed = !task.completed;
              console.log(task.completed);
            }}
            key={task.todo}
            disabled={disabledHelper(task)}
          >
            {task.todo}
          </Button>
        );
      })}

  );
}

My goal is to click a button, change "completed" to true and have the button become disabled as a result. The console log on the onclick verified for me that it was working, however the disableHelper function only runs when the page loads.
I tried inserting a useEffect but it throws errors because I'm putting it here:
disabled={useEffect(task => {
disableHelper(task)
})}

I'm convinced I have to find a way to put the useEffect elsewhere, or try a new method all together so the helper runs when I click the button
Any ideas on how I can get this to work as I want?

A: Issue
The issue here is you are directly mutating your state object, so your component isn't being rerendered with updated state to recompute the disabled status.
Solution
Update your state correctly. Use a functional state update to shallow copy the previous state into a new array. If the current task id matches then shallow copy the task and toggle the completed status, otherwise return the task.
const toggleCompleted = id => {
  setTasks(tasks => tasks.map(task => {
    return task.id === id ? {
      ...task,
      completed: !task.completed
    } : task;
  }));
};

The disabledHelper utility is also completely redundant since task.completed is already a boolean you can simply return it, or even more straight forward, set the disabled attribute directly.
I also would suggest using the task's id property as there's likely a better guarantee on uniqueness.
{tasks.map((task) => {
  return (
    <Button
      key={task.id}
      className="button"
      variant="contained"
      color="secondary"
      size="large"
      onClick={() => toggleCompleted(task.id)}
      disabled={task.completed}
    >
      {task.todo}
    </Button>
  );
})}

Apple Arcade: Bringing Fun Back to Mobile Gaming
Apple has revitalized gaming on phones
Brendan Frye
It was not too long ago when mobile gaming was considered magical.
Around when the Apple iPhone 3G launched, and the Apple Store changed the landscape of phones, mobile gaming was filled with countless possibilities. From people looking to innovate on what gaming could be to developers looking to make the most of this new platform, gaming on the go was an exciting avenue to explore. Then somewhere along with the development of mobile OS's this magic subsided. While yes, there were still some exciting offerings, they where hidden under mounds of shovelware and cash grab games. The ability to download something and be amazed was becoming harder and harder to achieve.
It is in this landscape that Apple launches Apple Arcade, the new subscription service, giving mobile players a chance to dive into some of the best and most exciting games on the iOS platform for a subscription fee. The concept seems simple, and yet few have managed it successfully, at least until now.
"Various Daylife" from Square Enix.
Apple has taken the time to curate a selection of games for the initial launch. Each game feels like a complete experience, offering hours of gaming on the go, and a compelling reason to play. Nowhere in this lineup will you find microtransactions to proceed, required loot boxes, or general cash-grabs. These games are full experiences that you can download and enjoy.. It is a concept that used to be the dominant force in mobile gaming, and with Arcade, Apple is bringing it back.
Much like the majority of subscription services, Apple Arcade follows an" all you can eat" model for the monthly price. After the first free month, players will have to pay $5.99 CAD (with the first month free), to continue to enjoy the games library, although they will also get to download all the new titles as they hit the platform. Sadly, at present, there is no way to buy the games on the service, so if you want to keep playing any of your favourite games, you will need to keep that subscription running.
With that all said, any service like this needs to see a solid offering right out of the gate, and on that front, Apple Arcade does not disappoint. From the first time I jumped on the service I saw numerous games I wanted to dig into and enjoy. From Oceanhorn 2, a rich mobile adventure akin to Zelda, to Sayonara Wild Hearts, a fantastic rhythm-based racing game, Apple has built out a list of games that will almost everyone will enjoy.
For testing these games I used my personal iPhone 7 XL. While it is getting a bit older compared to the modern Apple offerings, it still managed to play everything I threw at it without any issue. Granted, this will change in the future, but for now, if you can get iOS 13, you should be able to enjoy what Apple Arcade has to offer. Also, due to the fact that Apple Arcade offers cloud saves, jumping between platforms is easy. Simply finish up on one platform, and jump to another. I did some minor testing with this, and all in all, I was thoroughly impressed.
Apple Arcade is planning a rollout to all major Apple devices in the coming weeks, with iPhones and iPads getting it with the new iOS release. If you are on a Mac you will need to wait until September 30th, and Apple TV will be getting the Arcade service sometime in October at last announcement. With the larger platform rollout, the direct comparison to a console competitor will always rear its ugly head, and honestly, Apple is better positioned now than ever before.
With such a solid lineup and all for a nominal monthly price, it has single-handedly made standard game purchases seem antiquated. Yes, there will be people that will always enjoy paying for the full-priced title, but the prospect of a full library at your fingertips is hard to ignore. Much like Netflix, there needed to be a major player willing to push the boundaries of what people expect from an offering to move the needle, and Apple is for once at the forefront of gaming and changing the idea of what indie gaming and development could mean going forward. But also like Netflix, Apple will need to keep the quality coming to the service at a high level, or I could foresee a heavy dropoff.
Even the moves Apple has been making with the OS are poised to make Apple Arcade more exciting. The ability to pair a Bluetooth controller with ease and just jump into a game is a game-changer for many. While most of the games on offer work flawlessly with the touchscreen, jumping in with a controller gives a whole new way to experience the game, at times making it feel like a wholly new experience.
As more platforms get added to the Apple Arcade ecosystem, the reason to join and be a part of it becomes more compelling. If you are already locked into Apple for whatever reason, Apple Arcade is a no brainer. It is the way mobile gaming should be done, and the integration to the OS makes it a joy to experience. And for anyone not currently working within iOS, Apple Arcade is for some reason enough to switch. It is a compelling offering, and as the library grows towards the goal of 100 games by the end of the year, it just gets more interesting.
If I were Google, Apple Arcade would be something to worry about. With a mix of exclusive and compelling titles, Apple has cemented itself as the place to play mobile games. While there will always be a selection not part of the service, what is in there is fun, exciting and engaging. I look forward to seeing how Apple Arcade grows in the coming months, and welcome support from Apple to help grow and expand the already vibrant indie scene existing in gaming today.

My research on rhetoric as a structure of address informs my view of teaching and learning as scenes of address. I see myself along with my students as implicated in relations of power and vulnerability, and I ask my students to examine the lines of belief and force that toss us into our positions in any given conversation. Rhetoric is an art of invention, not only of discovering all the available means of persuasion, but of expanding that availability. The inventiveness of rhetoric—its vitality, playfulness, and experimental spirit—motivates what I have described as a "pedagogy of involvement," a theoretically informed praxis that enables students to take responsibility for their own learning.
Students in my undergraduate classes are assessed using the Learning Record, a portfolio-style evidence-based evaluation method. At the midterm and at the final, students compose persuasive essays documenting their improvement by explaining both what they have learned and how they have learned it. Students' essays incorporate as evidence their other coursework, including writing assignments, revisions, and class participation, as well as my written feedback and comments from their peers. This evidence must be explained according to the goals of the course, and it forms the basis of each student's request for the grade they think is fair. Students see an immediate value in improving their persuasive writing when they are given a chance to persuade for their grades. The Learning Record forces students to examine the standards by which they judge their own writing and the trajectory of their learning. The Learning Record also gives students an opportunity to review the goals of the course throughout the semester as they make observations about their progress Learning Record journal. As a result, students reach the end of the semester with a clear sense of the purpose of each course.
Just as I ask students to reflect frequently on our course goals, I also ask them to identify and refine their own goals. Students of rhetoric must constantly consider their audience, and my courses center invention as a way to generate persuasive arguments appropriate to particular audiences. In my first-year writing course, topic proposals in the beginning of the semester must include an analysis of the issue's stakeholders. Final assignments in my first-year writing course and in my Rhetoric of Failure class emphasize selecting the arguments mostly likely to persuade such stakeholders. Of course, a class is an audience, too: I use a variety of discussion formats to engage students with different strengths. For example, I sometimes begin class discussions of assigned reading with simultaneous writing in a Google doc, asking students to generate questions and insights. The Google doc discussion gives every student a chance to gather their thoughts, and it can help equalize the time that quieter and more talkative students hold the floor in class.
Because each student learns differently, not every barrier to accessing a given course is visible. When my Rhetoric and Prose Style class decided collectively to adopt the use of trigger warnings for an anonymously specified list of issues, such as eating disorders and drug abuse, the result was a discussion climate characterized by both honesty and sensitivity. Students paid attention to one another but didn't hesitate to express disagreement, mindful of the potential to do harm. One student was forthcoming about the stability trigger warnings promoted, allowing her to prepare for personally difficult conversations in class, rather than occasioning avoidance.
Negotiating difficult and thorny issues is a key rhetorical skill. Students must acclimate to the experience of being challenged, even getting confused and feeling lost, and they must develop a habit of navigating their confusion by asking questions and posing problems, especially through writing. Writing itself is a process of discovery, and students in my courses learn to practice revision as a crucial part of their writing process. For example, students in my Rhetoric of Failure class were required to radically revise their first exposition paper of the semester. The assignment requires students to retype any phrase they think important enough to keep; everything else should be dramatically changed. Radical revision frees students to reflection on the choices they made in what they thought were final drafts, and it encourages them to experiment by making different choices. Students aim for this intensity of revision in all their subsequent papers, and they experience the recursion of the writing process in a way that prepares them to persevere through longer projects.
Students in my courses become acquainted with the inventive resources of rhetorical style through studying tropes and practicing imitation. Asking students in first-year writing, for example, to imitate the grammatical structure of a sentence or passage introduces them to discovering what to say by focusing on how to say it. In my more advanced Rhetoric and Prose Style class, students worked at this intersection between invention and style all semester. Students kept commonplace books on the social media platform Tumblr. Tumblogs make it easy to post and share multimedia content, including images, links, excerpts of texts, even songs and videos. The students used their tumblogs as a storehouse of styles to imitate, emulate, and revise. The final assignment asked students to select a writing sample they admire, identify its tropes, and explain the rhetorical effects those tropes produced. Then, students wrote imitations, putting the tropes to work in their own writing.
I've had the privilege of teaching the majority of my classes in computer-equipped classrooms, so I have experience incorporate digital technologies into my curriculum, from blogs and wikis to social media like Tumblr. In my capacity as Assistant Director of the Digital Writing and Research Lab, I have taught other instructors how to do the same. I have taught workshops on visualizing writing with screencasting and Photoshop, on digital workflow and productivity tools, and on building websites with both Drupal and WordPress platforms. I've also had to adapt my teaching to traditional classrooms, but digital literacy remains a skill set for students negotiating reading, researching, and writing online.
My pedagogical strategies are informed by my commitment to rhetoric as an art of possibility. Students thrive when they realize that they can set and pursue their own educational goals. Writing becomes a way for them to frame and explore the questions that excite their passion. But writing always takes place in a community, for an audience, even when that audience is oneself. My teaching prepares students to respond to difficult and even destabilizing challenges with improvisation, experimentation, and reflection. Learning requires risk, and as a teacher I invite my students to write through their uncertainties.


Children experience tinnitus and might present similar suffering as observed in adults but they rarely mention the symptom unless directly asked about it.
Difficulty on concentration, sleeping, hearing, leisure activities, sports practice, and hyperacusis are the most frequent complaints associated to tinnitus in children.
Only a few population studies have been performed and have disclosed prevalence rates from 6% to 59%. Many factors might be implicated in the large inter-study variability of tinnitus prevalence in children.
Age, gender, hearing loss, motion sickness, hyperacusis, and noise exposure have been suggested as risk factors to development of tinnitus in children.
A proper model to investigate children should be developed for the purpose of obtaining accurate information about the prevalence of tinnitus in children.
Preventive measures should aim at hearing education about the risk of hearing loss and tinnitus. Prevention of noise exposure should be promoted as early as possible.

FAST FACTS: Cavite 7th District special election for post vacated by Remulla
Jan 4, 2023 1:39 PM PHT
Dwight de Leon
Raffy de Guzman/Rappler
Four aspirants, including the son of Justice Secretary Boying Remulla, are seeking to fill the vacant congressional post in a special election on February 25
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is set to conduct a special election in the 7th District of Cavite province on February 25, a Saturday.
This is to fill the congressional seat vacated by now-Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla.
Here are the things you need to know about the electoral exercise – from the list of aspiring successors, to what D-day would look like.
[OPINION] The special elections of the 7th District of Cavite: A welcome development
1. There are four aspirants to the post.
A total of four aspirants filed their certificates of candidacy to replace Remulla.
The most notable of them is the justice secretary's son, Provincial Board Member Ping Remulla, who has the backing of the National Unity Party.
His three opponents are running as independent, namely Jose Angelito Domingo Aguinaldo, Melencio Loyola de Sagun Jr. (a former mayor of Trece Martires City), and Michael Angelo Bautista Santos.
The four aspirants will be allowed to campaign from January 26 (which is also the start of the election period) to February 23.
2. Over 300,000 voters are eligible to participate.
The Comelec said it would utilize its registration records as of August 2022, which has 365,184 eligible voters in the district.
The election will cover 116 barangays across three municipalities (Amadeo, Indang, and Tanza) and one city (Trece Martires).
A total of 426 clustered precincts will be available on election day, from 6 am to 7 pm.
3. The election will be automated.
The special poll will make use of vote-counting machines (VCMs), which means that voters will shade an oval corresponding to the name of the aspirant they seek to support on automated ballots.
The votes will be tallied electronically, as the VCMs will print election returns.
However, there will be no electronic transmission of the results. Instead, SD cards will be physically delivered to the municipal board of canvassers, and official results generated there will then be sent to the provincial board of canvassers, which will proclaim the winner.
The Comelec will conduct a random manual audit in two precincts right after the conduct of the elections. – Rappler.com

Exporting U.S. Rules for Foreign Banks
By Peter Eavis
January 22, 2014 9:04 pm January 22, 2014 9:04 pm
Deutsche Bank's offices in Lower Manhattan. The Federal Reserve is expected to end a loophole for foreign banks.Credit Brendan McDermid/Reuters
One of the biggest loopholes on Wall Street may soon close.
More than three years ago, Congress passed a sweeping overhaul of the financial system that was supposed to leave no big bank untouched. Staggeringly, though, half of the large banks on Wall Street are able to avoid crucial parts of the overhaul — simply because they are foreign.
In particular, the overseas banks — Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse among them — have not had to comply with parts of the overhaul, known as the Dodd-Frank Act, that aim to strengthen the financial buffer, or capital, that banks must maintain to absorb potential losses on loans and trades.
Now, however, the American authorities appear poised to snatch that advantage away.
Deutsche Loss Underlines European Economy's Dependence on Banks (Jan. 20, 2014)
The Federal Reserve, which regulates banks, is expected to complete rules soon that will force large foreign banks to abide by many of the requirements their American counterparts have had to operate under since the passage of Dodd-Frank.
The foreign banks are not pleased with the crackdown.
The Fed first proposed the foreign bank rules at the end of 2012 and, as is its practice, invited the industry and the public to provide feedback. The Fed received strongly worded letters in opposition from a handful of large foreign lenders, and even got complaints from certain foreign bank regulators, including the BaFin of Germany.
In the face of such criticism, it is possible the Fed will end up substantially softening its rules. But senior executives at the foreign banks said they did not expect much in the way of dilution. "We, at this point, don't expect any larger changes to it, maybe some clarifications," Stefan Krause, Deutsche Bank's chief financial officer, said on Monday in a conference call with analysts after reporting a $1.3 billion loss in the fourth quarter.
A final rule that looks largely like the original version may satisfy consumer advocates who contend that all large institutions operating in America should be subject to the country's rules. "Whether the foreign banking rule gets done is a big test," said Marcus Stanley, policy director at Americans for Financial Reform. And if the rules do have teeth, it will end an intriguing game of cat and mouse, in which some overseas banks have taken elaborate steps to escape the reach of regulators.
Congress wrote Dodd-Frank so that its rules on capital would apply to foreign lenders, which received substantial assistance from the Fed in the heat of the financial crisis. After the legislation went into effect, however, Barclays and Deutsche Bank changed the legal status of their big American operations in such a way that parts of Dodd-Frank did not apply to them. This effectively allowed them to avoid putting large amounts of capital into their American units to satisfy the law's requirements.
Bank executives sometimes resist calls to raise extra capital because it may mean selling new shares, which can weaken the measures of profitability that Wall Street obsesses over. And if Dodd-Frank had applied, it might have forced some foreign firms to raise substantial amounts of new capital. The Deutsche Bank American operations containing its powerful Wall Street businesses actually had a negative capital position at the end of 2011, according to regulatory measurements of capital contained in a public filing.
Since the legal status of Barclays and Deutsche Bank changed, outsiders have no longer been able to get a clear picture from filings of the capital positions of their combined American operations. But Shailesh Raikundlia, a bank analyst with Espírito Santo Investment Bank in London, estimates that Deutsche Bank may need to find roughly $14 billion in capital for its American units. "Basically, Deutsche could raise some capital and downstream it," he said. "This will have a negative impact on their profitability." In recent conference calls, however, Mr. Krause of Deutsche Bank has played down the financial impact of the new rules and stressed that a transition would be manageable.
Even so, the European banks say the Fed's rules are unfair. In particular, American banks are not required to lock up capital at their American operations, like the Europeans will have to. Instead, they contend, the Americans generally get to set capital for their firms as a whole, which gives them more freedom to move capital among their different operations. The Americans also do not have to set up a new holding company for their American units, which, in theory, means they can avoid the potentially costly restructurings that the Europeans will most likely have to bear.
Supporters of the foreign bank rules, however, respond that it will remove a huge competitive advantage that some European banks have enjoyed for many years. Under the rule, they will now have to hold capital at their American operations that is roughly equivalent to that of their American rivals. "All this does is create a level playing field for banks operating in the United States," said Dennis M. Kelleher, president of Better Markets, a group that has pressed for stronger curbs on the banking industry.
Even under the new rules, the largest American banks may effectively have more capital than their European counterparts. That is because the biggest American institutions currently face new, separate regulations from the Fed that would force them to maintain higher companywide leverage ratios — a crucial measure of capital — than most foreign banks will have to.
One looming question is whether the Europeans will retaliate against the new rules once they go into effect — and force American banks to lock up capital at their operations overseas. But the Americans, with higher levels of capital, may be able to handle such a move.
Some consumer advocates say they would welcome a move by Europe to further toughen its banking regulations.
"Considering the number of problems with American banks that have occurred in London subsidiaries, I would appreciate seeing the Europeans raise the bar for foreign operations of American banks," Mr. Stanley said. "That would be a win for the American taxpayer."

Q: Transaction is a good option to delete children records? I have two tables, one table A that is the parent and other table B that is the children (1:N relationship).
If I want to delete the children records in the table B when I delete the parent in the table A, if I don't use cascade on delete in the data base, I would do it in the following way:

*

*User A load the parent record in her context, then load all the children records in the context, mark all as deleted.

*Other user add a new children.

*User A save changes. Get an error of reference integrity because the register added by the second user is not in her context.

In this case, the first user can try load all the children again when the exception is raised, but a third user can add a new children and have the same problem. In theory, this can occur all the time and the first user wouldn't delete the parent.
For that reason, I am thinking to use a transaction to do the work.

*

*First user starts a transaction.

*First user mark as deleted the parent and save the changes. The parent is blocked in the database.

*First user load all the children, marked as deleted.

*First user save the changes.

In this case, I have a doubt, when the parent register is blocked by the first user, the ID of this parent can be use by other user as foreign key of a children record? Or the database does not allow to use the ID because in theory is a deleted record?
If the database does not allow to use the ID, the second user will get an exception when try to add a new children, for reference integrity, because the parent does not exists. So the problem is solved. It is not needed to do anything else.
However, if the database allows to use the ID of the blocked parent, I need to do two  things:
In the method that delete the parent:

*

*Load the parent, mark it as deleted and save changes. This block the register.

*Load the children, mark them as deleted an save the changes.

*accept the transaction.

In the method that added a children

*

*Load the parent. If is blocked, the method wait until the register is free.

*Add the new children.

*Accept changes.

Really is not needed to load the parent in the context to delete the children, it would be an extra query to the database.
If the parent does not exists, get an exception an is not needed to do anything else, the user that try to added a new register now that is because the parent was deleted.
If the parent exists, the children can be added.
So I have two questions.

*

*is a good idea to use a transaction to delete a parent record to ensure that all the children are deleted?

*If a transaction is a good option, when the parent is blocked, the data base does not allow to use the parent ID to add a new record or I need to do the solution to load the parent in the method that delete the children?

A: Transaction does not postpone delete operation. There is nothing like "marked as deleted" in the database. When you mark entity as deleted and execute SaveChanges the record is deleted in the database. It always happens in transaction. Once the record is about to be deleted FK constrains are checked and if any dependent record exists the error is thrown (unless ON DELETE rule for the constrain doesn't define other option). You must always delete children prior to parent when using FK constraints.
If your description is exact you may simply use the very first approach you are afraid of and close queries and SaveChanges into single TransactionScope. It will run transaction with serializable isolation level which should ensure that no other transaction will be able to insert record into locked key range (locked by the query) until current transaction completes.
While the solution with serializable transaction may work it can bring other issues - deadlocks with other transactions in your application. Because of that repeating failed transaction is often the best option. If your system has such a big concurrent load that delete transaction can fail "all the time" it is probably time to completely redesign your application.


Meet the ultimate comfort staple while pregnant: compression leggings! The thicker, more opaque leggings are perfect for layering with your favorite maternity tunic or dress. The compression promotes better blood flow, otherwise known as circulation and delivers a controlled amount of squeeze that's greatest at your ankle and gradually gets lighter up the leg. True gradient compression increases circulation, prevents swelling and energizes tired legs and feet. The support top gives belly support without being constrictive.


does auto zone have slotted or drilled for my truck and ceramic?
frozenrotors.com has brake pads in several different compounds. there website does not list much, but if you call they can help. also, for anyone interested, I have found there rotors to be far superior to any other rotor I have tried, costly, but they are the only ones that didn't warp over time on my F-350, which are famous for warpping the front rotors.
Autozone has a couple of different grades available. Their "Performance Friction" pads are better at controlling dust than the other stuff they have.
On a similar note, I just did the front brakes on my '02 and used Hawk HPS pads. Carbon-metallic compund. You'll pay more for them then you would for the PF pads at Autozone, but when it comes to brake pads, you get what you pay for. So far, they're great on dust, stop better than the stockers, and with no noise. If I remember right, those are available from Bob.
I got away with just turning my rotors on this job, so I can't personally comment on any aftermarket rotors.

Sony today announced PlayStation Now subscribers would be able to download their games in order to play them offline. Up to now, if you wanted to play games on PlayStation Now, you'd have to stream them — meaning you needed to be continuously online in order to make it work.
According to Senior Marketing Manager Brian Dunn, the service is bringing over several classics (if you don't count Until Dawn):
Almost all PS4 games in the service, including Bloodborne, God of War 3 Remastered, NBA 2K16, and Until Dawn, will be available for download, in addition to the PS Now lineup of classic PS2 games remastered for PS4.
The library of potentially downloadable games — assuming Sony isn't being coy by saying "almost" — is respectably sized, and it's nice to see the PS2 games being carried over. It's a shame we won't be able to see the PS3 games available make an appearance, but given the difference in software between the two, it might have been too much to hope for.
One caveat, according to Dunn, is that you'll need to connect your PS4 to the internet every couple of days in order to "verify your PS Now subscription, even if you're only playing downloaded games." It's admittedly a little odd they don't specify an exact number of days, but if that's the only trade-off, it's a reasonable one.
The biggest problem with PS Now, up to this point, is that it was a major connection hog. Trying to stream a modern, AAA release required an always-on, strong connection. If you didn't have that, the service would be more trouble than the price warranted. Now this added bonus actually makes the service worth it for those of us who have to make due with crappy wi-fi.
Presumably you lose access to the games if your subscription lapses, similar to the major drawback of the recently-announced Switch Online service. Conversely, if you've started playing a game via streaming and want to download it for offline play, you can transfer your save file. So that's nice. Also, Dunn specified games will come with all purchased DLCs and add-ons, and don't require a PS Plus membership for online multiplayer.
Sony is gradually rolling the feature out to users over the next couple of days.

The truth is, I've been struggling to find a balance between staying informed and acting on the big, important, difficult things going on in the world, while also longing to occasionally rest and sit in some positivity. But when I turn to things that bring me joy, I worry that I'm not paying enough attention to the "right" issues. It's hard to let yourself feel happy when you know someone else is suffering. (Why work on writing any fiction; what does any of that matter?) But I think I was forgetting a very important fact: sharing light is a great way to drive out darkness.
So, I've decided to create a space to share stories that say "look – here is something good!" Because while there's a lotta darkness going on, there is a also a lot of light. And each one of us has the ability to create more light.
To that end, the blog portion of my website has a new title: Encouraging Words! I'll use this space mostly to highlight good people, good work, and good things happening in our world. I hope when you visit here you'll always find some nugget of encouragement that may help your own little light shine brighter, too.

Their website shares the staggering statistic that this year in America, 2.5 million children and their parents will experience homelessness. Family Promise supports a "local response to this national crisis, helping families build new lives." The goal is to identify the 'newly homeless' — people who have just fallen or are about to fall through the cracks of any other safety nets, and help them get back to sustainable independence quickly (families are usually in the program about six -eight weeks).
A network of volunteers from any faith-based community step up to open their physical building one week at a time, on a rotating basis.
A friend of a friend has worked hard and can now proudly say that her dream of a functioning Connecticut affiliate of the program is up and running. I've been working on a steering committee to help my own faith community explore becoming a Family Promise host. Let me tell you, it's very encouraging to have something to do about an issue that feels overwhelming. So I'm hopeful we'll be able to help, even if it's just a few families at a time.
Just after learning about Family Promise, I got my hands on two ARCs (Advance Reader Copies) of middle grade books which deal with the topic of families that are struggling to find secure and permanent places to live. Reading both of these beautiful novels really helped me understand how important even the smallest act of kindness can be to people who find themselves newly homeless.
JUST UNDER THE CLOUDS (Knopf Books for Young Readers) by Melissa Sarno is coming June 2018.
Can you still have a home if you don't have a house? In the spirit of The Truth About Jellyfish and Fish in a Tree comes a stunning debut about a family struggling to find something lasting when everything feels so fleeting.Always think in threes and you'll never fall, Cora's father told her when she was a little girl. Two feet, one hand. Two hands, one foot. That was all Cora needed to know to climb the trees of Brooklyn.But now Cora is a middle schooler, a big sister, and homeless. Her mother is trying to hold the family together after her father's death, and Cora must look after her sister, Adare, who's just different, their mother insists. Quick to smile, Adare hates wearing shoes, rarely speaks, and appears untroubled by the question Cora can't help but ask: How will she find a place to call home?
Just Under the Clouds will take root in your heart and blossom long after you've turned the last page.
The second book, EVERLASTING NORA (Starscape; Tor/Forge) by Marie Miranda Cruz, is due Fall 2018.
An uplifting young reader debut about perseverance against all odds, Marie Miranda Cruz's debut Everlasting Nora follows the story of a young girl living in the real-life shantytown inside the Philippines' Manila North Cemetery.
I encourage you to preorder both books for yourself, your kids, or your local town & school library! I'll be getting a copy of each to donate to Family Promise.
I also encourage you to look around for one thing you can do to help support the homeless in your own community. All over the country, there are many great organizations already in place and doing good work, but they always appreciate fresh volunteers and donations!
Have a good day, light-makers.

This organization sounds amazing, as do these books! Can't wait to read them. Thanks for posting this.
I love how you have woven your words of hope and encouragement with those of recently published books. This new tapestry perfect reflects how you shine light into this world. Thank you for being a beacon of light my friend!
Something good is Nancy II writing her positive blog. Keep up the good work.
With all good wishes from MN (OK, actually from SC during our brief session of Carol-therapy).
Sounds like an incredible organization, Nancy. Thanks for what you're doing to find ways for your community rise up and help those in need. And thanks for including JUST UNDER THE CLOUDS as you discuss the issue. The statistics for child homelessness in this country are staggering.
Love your new focus—Encouraging Words! Boy does our world need this!
Oh, Nancy Jean! You make my heart sing! Lets talk more about how Family Promise works. I love your "Encouraging Word" initiative. You got me singing "…where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day".
Glad JP passed it on to me.


Last year Sony announced their latest camera sensor the Sony IMX586. It is a CMOS image sensor for smartphones and has 48 megapixels, each of them only 0.8 ?m in size, stacked onto a 1/2-type unit. The sensor was made available for smartphones back in September 2018. The IMX586 implements the Quad Bayer 2×2 pixel array. This sensor will take smartphone photography to next level. Some of the smartphones have already started using it and here is the list of smartphones with 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor.
Honor View 20 is the latest smartphone announced by Honor and packs the Sony IMX586 sensor. It comes with a 6.4 inch Full HD+ resolution display. It is the first smartphone to launch with the Sony IMX586 sensor and comes with the new Kirin 980 chipset with either 6 or 8GB of RAM. The device also comes with Magic UI along with Android 9.0. The device also comes with 4000mAh battery along with Super Charger. The device also comes with 25MP in-display selfie camera with a punch hole.
Huawei Nova 4 was launched in December 2018 and again comes with the punch hole camera for selfies. It has the Kirin 970 Octa core processor with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, USB-C, a 3,750mAh battery, and a rear fingerprint sensor. There is also the 6.4-inch FHD+ display which has slim bezels around all sides. The front camera is a 25MP shooter and the top end variant of the device has a 48MP camera. This device is not yet available in the market although it was announced.
Redmi Note 7 Pro is an upcoming smartphone from Xiaomi with the Sony IMX586 sensor. The Redmi Note 7 was announced with 48MP camera while it came with Samsung ISOcell sensor. It comes with 6.3 inch Full HD+ display and is powered by Snapdragon 660 Octa core processor. It should also be coming with the 4000mAh battery. Redmi Note 7 Pro is expected to announce later this month.
UMIDIGI S3 Pro is an upcoming smartphone feom UMIDIGI and is expected to launch soon. There have been multiple leaks on this device and it is expected to come with 48MP rear camera and large capacity battery. We will update once the device is launched.
Apart from this, there are new devices from Sony and Samsung expected to come with the IMX586 sensor.

Awards / World Illustration Awards 2020 / WIA2020 Showcase / WIA2020 Showcase: Animals Curated Highlights
From quirky children's book characters, to more realistic depictions, animals are a great source of inspiration for eye-catching illustration.
This selection from across the WIA2020 shortlist categories shows the inventive ways that illustrators use animals as characters and motifs for a range of uses, including children's books designed to delight readers, to design projects created to inform and raise awareness around environmental issues.
Mariajo Ilustrajo: Flooded
This illustrated children's book was created for Mariajo's MA in Children's Book Illustration. The animals are drawn with an exciting freshness and spontaneity using acrylic ink, pen and dry brushes, with graphite for texture, finished digitally.
Mariajo was born in Madrid where she studied Illustration at the School of Art, Arte 10. She has worked as a freelance illustrator since then completing projects for a wide range of clients with some personal projects along the way.
Becky Thorns: The World of Whales
Little Gestalten commissioned Becky to illustrate a non-fiction children's picture book covering both facts about whales and exploring how humans can improve the environment to ensure their survival. This work features 74 pages, illustrated with digital illustrations that show the behaviour and characteristics of all species of whale to be found across the world.
Becky Thorns is an illustrator and lettering artist based in Cornwall, specialising in children's illustration and literary themed works. Since graduating from Falmouth University with a Fine Art degree in 2015, she has worked in the creative industries.
Mruna Mistry: Pangolin
Mruna's work was created as part of an M.F.A. Illustration thesis that advocated the use of illustration in surface design for various products and markets to promote awareness about animal protection and conservation. The surface design for this scarf was aimed to highlight endangered species, such as the pangolin. The realistic depiction was created using scratchboard and ink with a hand lettered border.
Mruna Mistry is an award-winning illustrator and surface designer with an architectural background. Working primarily in traditional media, Mruna combines watercolour and grisaille paintings with digital additions and enhancements to create intricate and colourful illustrations. Mruna has a Bachelor's degree in architecture from CEPT University in Ahmedabad, India and an M.F.A. in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Georgia, USA.
Takashi Miyata: LOST RABBIT
Takashi created Lost Rabbit as a personal project. The lost rabbit is an unusual character, drawn in black felt tip pen, creating an uneasy atmosphere.
Takashi graduated from Hiroshima City University Faculty of Arts in 2005, and works now as an illustrator full time. They are based in Japan.
David Dean: The Girl Who Stole An Elephant
David Dean's illustration for a book cover reflects the sense of adventure of the story, which is set in the Sri Lankan jungle. The charming relationship between the girl and elephant shines through this digital illustration. This illustration was commissioned by Nicola Theobald of Nosy Crow.
David lives in the north of England and has been practising for 20 years, having studied at Manchester Metropolitan University. He works primarily in children's publishing and has created covers for well over 100 books.
Charlotte Manning: Canadian Animal Alphabet
This project was created for a final university project, titled the Canadian Animal Alphabet. It features a diverse range of well known and rarer species of animals found in Canada. They are created using mixed media and pochoir (stippling) technique.
Charlotte is from Northumberland, UK, and is a recent graduate from Cambridge School of Art, where she completed an MA in Children's Book Illustration. She enjoys illustrating anything to do with animals and nature. She works in mixed media with painting and pochoir.
Yasmeen Ismail: Would You Like a Banana?
Yasmeen was commissioned to write and illustrate a picture book by Walker Books. After much development of the illustrations and interplay of text, these bold yet painterly characters are full of life and zest. The work is made using mixed media including gouache, oil pastel and collage, with hand written typography.
Irish-born, Bristol-based Yasmeen Ismail is an award-winning author, illustrator and animator. She now lives with her husband, their son and Betty the cat. She is represented by Bright Agency.
Ana Victoria Morales: All Good Things are Wild and Free
Ana created this book cover, based on the quote which is repurposed as the title. The layered leaves, and stylised, patterned animals characters create a design full of depth and texture with a sense of intrigue.
Ana Victoria Morales is a Venezuelan illustrator based in Luxembourg. She has been working as an illustrator for two years, and her business has been steadily growing. She is currently studying for an MA in illustration at Hertfordshire University.

The doctrine of collateral estoppel involves the use of an old judgment in a new action to prevent the relitigation of issues resolved by that old judgment. At common law, use of the doctrine required that the party using collateral estoppel and the party against whom it was used be the same as the parties to the prior judgment. This common law requirement of mutuality has been relaxed and since the United States Supreme Court's 1979 decision in ParklaneHoisery Co. v. Shore, the strict common law requirement of mutuality has all but completely vanished. In Parklane the Court sanctioned the use of collateral estoppel by a plaintiff who was a stranger to the original suit against a defendant who was party to that suit. The courts' search for fair results and judicial economy in the application of the doctrine led to this application of the doctrine in circumstances in which the parties were not mutual. This note traces the un- steady course which the doctrine of collateral estoppel traveled before Parklane. The significance of the Court's decision in Parklane is then analyzed. Finally, post-Parklane applications of collateral estoppel are discussed, including the effect of the use of collateral estoppel on the seventh amendment right to jury trial and its impact on substantive areas of law.
