"I want to express my appreciation to Clive who accompanied us to Leeds Castle. He is an interesting interlocutor, attentive, sociable and is very knowledgeable. We have received great pleasure from the visit, during which we learned a lot about the surrounding area. I think any tourist will get similar positive feelings from communicating with this person." Best wishes -

"Thank you for your excellent service that we have received from Elba in these last few weeks, we appreciate on time, and on budget"
Vic CooperGlobal Managing Director
"I have no hesitation in recommending Elba Private Hire Tours to anyone looking for a really enjoyable night (or day) out. From the moment my two friends and I were picked up from our lovely Bed and Breakfast (Waters End Farm) to the moment we returned from dinner at The Curlew, we felt like we were being treated to the best of everything. The service was impeccable and Clive was not only charming but also able to provide lots of useful tips about what the local area had to offer. We're hoping to return soon and planning to use Elba Private Hire Tours for a day touring the vineyards of Kent. I'd suggest that anyone visiting the area thinks about making the most of the excellent food and wine on offer by using Elba Private Hire Tours services." "Thank you for your promptness, patience and professionalism during our extended stay in Hawkhurst. Look forward to the next time. Best regards."
Peter Warrener

Q: How do to start with clean Managed Object Context without deleting objects in Core Data You will have to forgive me, there will likely be no code in this question as I don't know what I would include for this question, so please bare with my explanation.
Here's the background, I am in the process of making a fitness application where users can create their own workouts. I have exercises saving successfully into workouts, and have those workouts successfully saving as well in. While making a workout, a list of the exercises created by the user for that workout is provided in a table view, which is populated from core data.
Where my issue arises is when I try to create another workout, it still displays the exercises from the previous workouts in the table view even though they were not created for this workout. As a result the user would have to manually delete all the old exercises before adding new ones. Through some testing I've discovered that the table only gets information to populate it after running my fetch() function which means it's likely grabbing ALL exercises from my persistant storage container. How do I make the table empty every time I create a new workout without sacrificing the saved exercises in place?
Thank you for your patience if you've made it this far.

A: A "clean" managed object context doesn't make sense, because the whole purpose of the context is to access the persistent store. If it's in the store, the context can find it, and will find it if you run the right fetch.
Since you have workouts and exercises, you probably want to have a one-to-many relationship from Workout to Exercise. Every Workout could have multiple related Exercise objects, and each Exercise would have only one workout. You could then get all exercises for a workout by getting the value of this relationship.
The view controller you describe would show all exercises that are related to a specific workout. If it's a new Workout, there wouldn't be any exercises yet, so the list would be empty. As you add exercises, you'd update the relationship, and only the current workout's exercises would appear in the list.
You may find it useful to review Creating Managed Object Relationships, from Apple's Core Data programming guide.

ISOSCELES published!
08 Feb 2017 9:06 AM | Lynne S. Brandon
Lynne S. Brandon's short play, "Isosceles," has been published in Off The Rocks Vol.20, NewTown Writers Press, Allison Fradkin editor, Chicago; and is available from Lulu Press (lulu.com).
"Isosceles" queers "the Erotic Triangle," the sexual dynamics of two men contesting for a woman's favors. In 1910, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas lived in Paris. In "Isosceles," butch dyke Gert and femme Alice spend an evening with noted womanizer Pablo (Picasso). The artists' Cubist works (Tender Buttons, Picasso's "Absinthe") inform the trio's word play. Alice uses all the power available to her and, by the end, she is the focus of the "masculine" attention. In an isosceles triangle, there is always one short side, opposite one dominant angle.
Performed at Smith College (2008) and SLAMBoston! at the renowned Factory Theatre in Boston (2010), it also had a staged-reading in "She Speaks," part of the "365 Women a Year: A Playwriting Project," in Kitchener, Ontario, 2015.
AIR APPARENT by Sandra Dempsey
30 Jan 2017 11:11 AM | Sandra Dempsey
has been published in Long Story Short: An Anthology of (Mostly) Ten-Minute Plays- a collection of twenty-five very short but powerful plays that pack a punch through a variety of genres and styles, issues and experiences, as well as characters and performance roles.
AIR APPARENT: One of the forgotten, Aisling is losing her grasp on the periphery of society as she struggles with the after-effects of "that day." Her health is destroyed by the gray dust, she can't even keep up with her meagre dog-walking, and she is left as one of the thousands with terrible, insidious internal injury, struggling for every breath.
Ideal for a range of readers from drama students to aspiring theatre practitioners, and for those working in community and professional theatres, Long Story Short gathers from acclaimed and emerging playwrights a breadth of plays that are united in their ability to create complete and moving stories that transcend the page in about ten minutes each.

Farzana's book promotion by Cambridge Scholars Publishing
19 Dec 2016 5:38 PM | Farzana Moon
Meet our Authors: Farzana Moon – December 2016
Farzana Moon is a teacher, poet, historian and playwright with a Masters in Education. She has published work on Sufi poetry, historical and biographical accounts of the Moghul emperors, and has written plays based on stories from religion and folklore.
Her publications on the Moghul emperors include: Babur: First Moghul of India; The Moghul Exile; Divine Akbar and Holy India; The Moghul Hedonist; Glorious Taj and Beloved Immortal; The Moghul Saint of Insanity; and Poet Emperor of the Last of the Moghuls: Bahadur Shah Zafar.
Her other non-fiction publications include Holocaust of the East, an account of the partition of India and Pakistan, and works on religion and spirituality, including Irem of the Crimson Desert, Prophet Muhammad: The First Sufi of Islam and No Islam but Islam. Farzana has also published works of fiction, such as Romance Quartet, and her play Osama the Demented had a stage reading in Stockholm.
She has a new book about the Quran forthcoming, and is currently writing another book, The American Queen (a work on Ora Ray Baker, the wife of Hazrat Inayat Khan, who was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico).
Farzana describes the experience of publishing multiple titles with Cambridge Scholars Publishing:
"Academic publishing is a niche within the wider publishing market, and I was given the opportunity to publish my first scholarly work, Holocaust of the East, by Cambridge Scholars. CaroI Koulikourdi was the friendliest of editors, and it was a rare delight to work with someone so affable and helpful. I was moved by her kindness and expertise, and decided to publish two more titles with Cambridge Scholars: No Islam but Islam and The Moghul Saint of Insanity. Despite the diversity of subjects, the editors' knowledge extended widely across the various disciplines. I applaud their patience and dedication as they stayed loyal to the high standard of their scholarly vision admired by university presses in America. All of my titles are much sought-after by scholars and universities, and I am very grateful to have published with Cambridge Scholars."
As part of the Meet our Authors campaign, we are offering our readers a 50% discount on The Moghul Saint of Insanity. To redeem your discount, please enter the promotional code MOADEC16 during checkout. Please note that this is a time-limited offer that will expire on 16th January 2017.

We are instinctively creative beings. Through the transformative power of dramatherapy, we gain adaptability and create a positive, empowered attitude toward obstacles, physical or mental struggles, hardships, and trauma. Our vision is a world where "detours" in life are everyday blessings.
As we enter the new millennium, the world is faced with massive challenges as well as opportunities to solve them. Communication is a very powerful tool. Words have the power to engage, to move ideas from the fuzzy margins to the focused center of our attention, and to inspire us to think in new ways. Theatre, arts, expressive communication, language, and learning can move us to the center of life's stage. Gutless & Grateful empowered me to move forward and spark a sense of rejuvenation, renewal, and hope from within."

The Moghul Hedonist, published by Editions Dedicaces, is fourth in the series of the War of Moghul Succession in India. Emperor Jahangir reigned in name alone, while his empress Nur Jahan possessed the power to rule the emperor and the empire. Jahangir, a mystic and a naturalist laid kingdoms at the feet of his empress, abandoning himself completely to his love for wine, both from the nature's cups and from gold flagons. His hunger and passion for beauty in nature lured him to the paradise in Kashmir five times during his twenty-two years of reign splintered with intrigues and rebellions. The beautiful gardens of Kashmir, some built by Nur Jahan and some restored by her, became the sanctuary of this Moghul couple, away from the royal burdens of the court intrigues. With the exception of Jahangir's sons rebelling against him, peace and prosperity flourished during his artistic and sensuous reign. Industry and commerce yielded great revenues. The art of painting in detail and accuracy reached its culmination under his patronage and indulgence. The poets basked under the sunshine of the emperor's generosity, and literature attained the heights of nobility and veneration. Though cultural development rose to its peak, the emperor's health failed due to excessive drinking, his bane and challenge. Two major challenges finished his life. The rebellion of his favorite son styled as Shah Jahan, and one hundred days of captivity by his faithful vizier, Mahabat Khan. The last blow to his frail health came from the hands of a tragedy, when his son Prince Perwiz died of his own indulgence in drinking. At the age of fifty-eight, when Jahangir died, Shah Jahan ascended the much-coveted throne with great pomp. Not in the least suspecting that he would know grief shortly, wedding only Taj Mahal as his lost love and bride.
The main contribution of this sequel toward scholarly pursuits lies in the fact that the emperor Jahangir steps out of the pages of history as a scholar himself. A man of varied talents and interests, his observations about plant and animal life are worth exploring, if not his passion for art and literature.

It is very necessary to have an ideal knowledge of the common visa interview questions. Whether you know it or not, it is a must have that you have to confront the consular and answer some common visa interview questions. If you can't or you are not able to answer these common visa interview questions, your visa will not be stamped to allow you travel to the United States or overseas.
Let's think about this, your ability to answer common visa interview questions correctly determines if you're granted that visa or not. The embassy doesn't give a damn if you've been rejected once or twice at the embassy. They will still reject you over and over again until you can fully prove to the consular you have what it takes to travel to his/her country.
Most of the time, when visa applicants are denied visa because of their inability to answer common visa interview questions they mad at the officer. All visa applicants should have at the back of their mind, that the Officer is highly trained to approve their visa or reject it based on how he/she evaluates you and how convincing you answer the common visa interview questions put to you.
It pays to be thoroughly prepared before meeting with the consular for your interview, and while hundreds of common visa interview questions might be thrown at you based on the training and whims of the interviewing officer.
This is the common visa interview questions and the answers might help put you in the right frame of mind to meet with the consular. Meanwhile, let us use traveling to the US for our example.
When you are this kind of common visa interview questions, you don't need to tell a lie because the consular has been trained to know when you are lying. This is what you have to say ''I'm traveling for tourism purpose and to see our daughter who is based in Texas. We intend to visit Disneyland in Florida, Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh, and possibly Las Vegas. If we have the time because these places are within a drivable distance of where our daughter lives''.
Why must you visit at this time?
This is another common visa interview questions that are logical. This should be your response ''This is summer and it is the appropriate time to visit places in the US. But apart from this, our daughter arranged for her leave to fall within this period so that she can have the time to take us round places inside and outside her city. Due to our age, visiting during winter might not be too suitable for us because of the snow and weather storms''.
How long will you be staying in the US?
We shall be staying X number of months, between X to Y months.
Why do you want 1-year visa when 3 months is okay for you?
It is required of you to answer the common visa interview questions this way. ''There is always a lot to see during Christmas in New York and Detroit (mention the state you're visiting) among others. We'd love to see the fireworks and displays and even do some Christmas shopping. There are always a lot of places to visit and see in your country, and due to our age, we may not have another opportunity to visit again''.
We shall be staying at ABC street, city, state, and zip. Ensure to commit to memory the address and make sure it matches with what you have on your visa application.
Who is sponsoring your trip and expenses over there?
Our daughter is taking care of all our expenditures. She works at ABC and has been in the US for 12 years. You have to provide evidence to this kind of common visa interview questions.
Can I have the contact details of your relatives in the US?
Yes, her phone number is AAA-BBB-CCC and her home address is AAA-BBB-CCC. Ensure you know this information by heart without having to peruse through jotted notes.
Would you accept job offers or engage in business when you get to the US?
I do not plan to accept any job offers or involve in business during this trip. I'm only visiting my daughter and wish to visit interesting and fascinating places with her. Therefore, I intend to return to my country as soon as my daughter nudges me to return home.
Who will take care of your home and business when you are gone?
My partner will run the business in my time off and I also have supervisors to manage things behind me. Meanwhile, I have organized my accumulated leave to fall within this period to enable me travel.
Have you bought airline tickets or medical insurance?
But we shall buy it as soon as we get our visa.

Downer PipeTech were engaged by Rio Tinto to renew three corrugated steel arch bridges in WA. The project involved the installation of a stand alone structural lining to the inside of an existing 3 span corrugated steel arch bridge under the main Cape Lambert rail line. Each of the existing arch spans measured 8.0m in width and 4.1m high with a depth of 17.0m. Gaps between the outer and central arches was 0.5m The existing structure was exhibiting signs of metal corrosion through the corrugated steel plates and the inlet and outlet headwalls had evidence of cracking and spalling.
The principle risk was to achieve a design that utilized the existing bridge foundations to reduce the overall works program and to provide an economical solution with better hydraulic capacity to the Client. Working in the Pilbara on remote sites is always a challenge however ITS have several years of experience specifically in remote regions and as a result, demonstrated this past success for this critical program of work. This was the first time that Tunneline had been used in Australia to line a triple arch span to deliver a 100 year life expectancy. Development of design was in conjunction with Lindsay Dynan using AS5100 and Finite Element Analysis to assess the load and transient movement across the arches as trains passed overhead. ITS deployed two of our Tunneline crews to install the linings one cell at a time.
Following the foundation development which was undertaken with specialist geotechnical engineering, headwall repairs, new wing walls and aprons together with flow dispersion, were installed after the main arches were complete. This project achieved all of the scope goals and was the only proposal that achieved a 100 year design life.

Greece scraps no-go areas at universities; opposition fumes
August 8, 2019 08.08.2019 • 19:44
Greek lawmakers on Thursday scrapped regulations making universities a no-go zone for police, a move authorities say will tackle lawlessness but which critics have decried as a clampdown on democracy.
The move is one of the first taken by the country's conservative New Democracy government, which swept to power last month, unseating left-wing SYRIZA. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis campaigned hard on the issue of public safety.
"We don't want police in university. We do want though to get rid of the hoodies who police the lives of students," Mitsotakis told parliament, referring to self-styled anarchists.
The conservatives have long argued that university sanctuary has outlived its purpose and has been hijacked by criminal elements. Many academics complain of violence and drug dealing in plain view.
"During a typical student's life, he will see faculties controlled by a manner of different groups, drugs, and basements full of petrol bombs and hoods," Mitsotakis said.
University asylum was a legacy of the crackdown by the then military junta on students in 1973, when a tank burst through the gates of the Athens Polytechnic, killing dozens of people.
Alexis Tsipras, the former prime minister and now main opposition leader, said the move was an attempt to undermine Greece's public universities. "You are obsessed with it," Tsipras told Mitsotakis.
"New Democracy has always followed that line; to gradually privatise universities, undermine welfare and research," he said.
Under the 1982 law, which has been repealed and reinstated by different governments in recent years, Greek universities have been largely out of bounds to police.

What causes abdominal pain after smoking Marijuana?
Question: I have been smoking weed for over a year. Started feeling pain towords right back of my stomach along with severe constipation. Also feeling pain in my chest.
No. Never had it.Have shown to doctors but nothing was found. Have done xray for chest, ultrasound and MRI for stomach after doctors advice but nothing came out. Still have same problem. Plz guide.
Marijuana use can damage the lungs. You say a chest X-ray was normal which is reassuring. My next thought would be the heart, which is why I asked about cocaine, because this can cause heart attacks in young people. Have you had an EKG to check your heart? If an MRI of the abdomen was normal, this rules out problems with your pancreas, spine, kidneys, and liver, all of which I was also considering. Do you drink alcohol? If so, testing your pancreas and liver further with blood testing would be appropriate. Otherwise, I would recommend cutting down on marijuana and using over-the-counter laxatives.
Have been detected with the fatty liver grade 1. And also have high cholostrol( triglycerides). Feeling pain in both sides of chest along with mild pain in throat as well. Have done xray for spine as well but its normal. Just wanted to check does fattly liver grade 1 cause pain?
Fatty liver grade 1 does not cause pain. Your mention of throat pain suggests this may be related to marijuana use after all, as marijuana irritates both the lungs and throat. I think it best for you to stop smoking marijuana for a few months and see if the pain subsides.

In twelve minutes, Gernot Wieland tells a deep and absurd story about the yearning for individual freedom and about collective compulsion to conform. With tragicomic childhood memories and reflections on life as a Kafkaesque short story, as well as childish pencil drawings, plasticine figures, metaphorical Super 8 film footage of staircase climbs, and mysterious crystal objects formed from wooden sticks, Wieland captivates our attention. Fact meets fiction; dynamic narrative meets poetic visual sequences and a hypnotic soundscape. In the conflation, a magical realism unfolds.
From the first-person perspective, but distanced by an Austrian-tinged English, Wieland recounts the dress-up adventures and emigration dreams of a school friend that ended with his admission to a psychiatric hospital and a diagnosis of ›schizophrenia‹. The consequences for the first-person narrator are ›deportation‹ to an ›uncle‹ and the internalization of the collective mythology of his village, which considers the imitation of crystal figures as a coping strategy for grief and anxiety states. On a visual level, some images function as documents underpinning the narrative, others illustrate the absurdities of everyday life, and yet others are attempts to review existing and perceived power relations conceptually. Guiding the multi-layered narrative is a general amazement about how we got here. In an affectionate and humorous way, Wieland deconstructs a childlike universe and visualizes the hidden ruins of the collective psyche, which are inherited but which we do not have to confront powerlessly. In Ink in Milk, the memories are not closed narratives, but living stories that unravel, reconnect, and allow us to find ourselves. The projection of the video onto the back of a closet epitomizes the first-person narrator's experience of exclusion by a teacher who kept a list of the ›non- conformists‹ and punished them with perfidious methods. Thus, Wieland allows us to physically re-experience becoming aware of one's own body. »How we place our bodies in relation to each other is the start of politics«, is one of Wieland's central statements in the video.
In the end, Ink in Milk shows a possible way out how we can write our own narrative and resist the compulsion to inscribe ourselves in a collective narrative. The world of fantasy and imagination lives on in a normative society, just like the ›dancing animals‹ in a mixture of ink and milk.
Ieva Akule, Videonale.18
Gernot Wieland (b. 1968 in Horn, Austria) studied at the University of the Arts in Berlin and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.

Dev: Digital Illusions CE
Pub: Electronic Arts
Release: September 10, 2002
Players: 1 (2+ Online)
Screen Resolution: N/A Violence
This Is A Battlefield
by Josh Engen
While most developers were content to continuously rip off Counter-Strike in the early 2000's, Electronic Arts was redefining the first-person shooter genre with Battlefield 1942. It's pretty safe to say that without Battlefield 1942, gamers wouldn't have the expansive arena-based gameplay that has become common across many FPS titles. Though, lets not forget that the folks at EA obviously had a little help from the decades of games that came before.
It's not unusual for a developer to take a little flak because their game feels overly familiar, but if you think about it, this can't possibly be a bad thing. Battlefield 1942, for example, felt familiar right out of the box, but that's because the controls were incredibly accurate and organic. EA evidently put a lot of work into making sure that the keyboard and mouse controls in BF1942 didn't draw too much attention to themselves, a subtle art form that should be more readily recognized. Because the interface was instantly familiar for anyone who had played a first-person shooter, players were able to start mastering the things that made Battlefield different right away.
The gameplay in Battlefield 1942 was the first thing that players would need to master. The "control point" focus on many of the popular BF 1942 maps forced formerly individualistic players to cooperate. When a team captured a control point, vehicles and other players could spawn at that point, which meant that players could push forward to the next point or hunker down to defend the one they had just captured. This new style of play represented a dramatic shift from individualistic to cooperative. Other games, like Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, had desperately tried to force players into this new style of play, but none had truly been successful.

Perhaps one of the most important innovations from Battlefield 1942 was the absence of any real single-player campaign. Battlefield 1942 was one of the first retail titles that assumed people would be purchasing the game to play online. Obviously, mods like Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat paved the way for this new mentality, but EA still stuck their collective necks out.
Actually, when you think about it, EA took another incredibly big risk on Battlefield 1942. Hardcore gamers are notorious for being individualistic, and EA released a multiplayer-only FPS that relied heavily on cooperative play. Obviously this model had worked very well for MMOs like EverQuest, but fans of the FPS genre just weren't buying it. Until Battlefield 1942 came along, that is.
I would be lax in my responsibility as a respectable journalist if I didn't mention the vehicles at this point. Games like Halo and Tribes 2 had tried their hands at vehicles in the past, but none had tried them on such a grand scale as Battlefield. Players were able to take control over tanks, planes, jeeps, submarines, aircraft carriers, and so on. But the addition of vehicles meant that map designers had to completely rework their though processes, and EA's development team did an amazing job. The problem is that the maps need to be arena-like in order to support a flying plane, but if the maps are too large, the game essentially becomes a dogfighting game, not an FPS. But EA's map makers managed to find the delicate balance between close quarters combat and vehicle-based combat. This combination made every single round of BF 1942 unique.
This may seem silly, but one of the things that I always appreciated about Battlefield 1942 was the bullet physics. Pretty much every shooter before this point had an unrealistic lazer-like sense of timing in its bullet physics; if you aim your gun at the target and pull the trigger, the target is instantly destroyed. However, in BF 1942, bullets actually traveled with a more realistic timing. If you wanted to murder someone who was running 100 yards away, you would need to lead your target a little. This technique took a lot of practice, and it definitely separated the professionals from the amateurs.
The number of next-level innovations that EA included with Battlefield 1942 is staggering. Most games would have been fine to attempt a few new developmental differences, but the folks at EA were seemingly determined to rework the fundamentals of the FPS genre. And they did.
I almost feel like we should all send EA a thank you letter for giving us such a fine piece of gaming history, but I just finished reinstalling Battlefield 1942 and I'm going to be far too busy to write any letters for a while.

President congratulates athletes
President congratulates athletes who decorated the motherland with 251 medals at the South Asian Games
Sri Lanka added another gold, two silvers and four bronze medals to their tally and finished third overall in the final medal count as the 13th South Asian Games (SAG) came to an end at the Dasarath Stadium in Kathmandu. Pugilist Rumesh Sandakelum defeated Nepal's Ganesh Pradhan in the Men's Light Heavyweight 81kg class to give Sri Lanka's 40th gold medal on the final day of the SAG. This took Sri Lanka's final medal haul to 250 inclusive of 83 silver and 127 bronze medals.
In the semi-final, Nepal's Pradhan became the first boxer in the whole competition to beat an Indian rival but Sandakelum's entry to the final became the talk of the town when he knocked down Pakistan's AIBA World Boxing Championship pugilist Uvaiz Ali Khan comfortably. This surprise blow to the much favoured Pakistani boxer made the Sri Lankan finalist the favourite to win the gold medal in the the Men's Light Heavyweight 81kg class. Today Sandakelum had very little work to do to realize his dream of a gold medal, when he continued his winning streak to culminate with a gold against the Nepali boxer.
In the Women's Featherweight 57kg class, Sri Lanka's Ayoma Dulanji had to settle for silver medal after losing to India's Sonia Lather. The bronze medals were added by the losing semi-finalists Buwaneka Eranda (Men's Super Heavyweight +91kg), Nilmini Athauda (Women's Flyweight 51kg), Lasindu Eranda (Men's Flyweight 52kg) and Nissanka Jeevantha (Men's Lightweight 60kg).
Sri Lanka had to settle in with a yet another silver medal in Men's Basketball after India comprehensively beat them 101-62 to win the gold medal at the Covered Hall in Tripureshwor today. The Lankan cagers will now return home with a tally of two silver medals – from today's Men's game and the Women's 3×3 and a bronze medal in the Men's 3×3.
Today was not Sri Lanka's day as the Indians proved to be highly dominant against the Lankan cagers. The first quarter was a closely battled one though India led it 26-14. India further expanded the deficit of 12 points as the game progressed. The second and third quarters ended at 51-24 and 79-35 after India added 25 and 28 points to their tally while Sri Lanka managed to secure 10 and 11 points respectively.
However India were totally outdone by the Lankans in the fourth and final quarter. The sudden strike perhaps came in too late for the Lankans, who totally outwitted the Indians and added 27 points to culminate with a total of 62 points. Despite holding India to 22 points in the final quarter, they were well ahead ending with 101 points and a lead of 39, to claim the gold medal.
Sri Lanka's P. Charith and Indian skipper Bhri Gubanshi top scored for their respective teams with 17 points each in the game. P. Udayanga (11), C. Kusal (10) and C. Joseph (10) made worthy contributions while skipper U. Praneeth was outstanding as an offensive player for Sri Lanka. For India Amritpal Singh and A. Annadurai scored 15 points each while Hafiz Bek and PrasannaSivakumar made 13 points each.
Following the completion of all sports activities, the closing ceremony of the 13th South Asian Games was held at the Dasarath Stadium in front of a packed crowd. The event was filled with Nepali cultural items and the remaining sports teams' representatives of each participating country, which took place for almost three hours. At the end of closing ceremony the Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal, IshworPokharei is scheduled to hand over the International Olympic Flag to a representative from the next hosting country of the South Asian Games.
Four dengue-hit athletes still in hospital
Out of the 14 Sri Lankan athletes hospitalized in Nepal for dengue, only four remain yet to be discharged. The athletes who are still under observation are Amasha de Silva, M.U. Kumara and S.P. JanakaBandula and a kabaddi player. Sprinter Nadeesha Ramanayake, who was one of the first to be hospitalized here in Kathmandu, was discharged after her platelet count improved on Friday evening, but was readmitted after experiencing fever a day later. Ramanayake's condition was constantly observed by Dr. Lal Ekanayake, the Team Doctor of the Sri Lanka contingent. After her conditions improved and was proven fit, Ramanayake was discharged on Tuesday night.
Women's footballer Gayathri Nanayakkara, whose condition was critical earlier was discharged after her platelet count improved. She was earlier treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A total of 10 athletes have been discharged from the Blue Cross Hospital in Kathmandu, located few metres away from the main venue, the Dasarath Stadium and the Vayodha Hospital, few miles away.Six of them were sent back to join their respective teams by Monday night. Out of the four athletes remaining in hospital, three are being treated in the normal wards while the kabaddi player is currently treated in the ICU.
According to the observations made by Dr.Ekanayake, the dengue fever was initially generated from Colombo, not Nepal. He said that the Sugathadasa Sports Hotel could have been the originating place of dengue as a total of five athletes were detected with the fever when they were housed prior to the SAG.
"I advised the authorities to properly clean the place and treat it medically before putting in athletes, as the Sugathadasa Sports Hotel was kept shut for a long period. But no measures were taken before putting in athletes there. If it was the cause, we failed to nip it by the bud, and our athletes are suffering for our own shortcomings".
The news of Sri Lankan athletes being hospitalized with dengue became a big news in the Nepali print and electronic media. After the news reached Colombo, the incumbent Minister of Sport, Dallas Alahapperuma had made a personal visit to the Sugathadasa Sports Hotel and pledged that he would act promptly to rectify matters and promised stern action those who ignored pleas madeby experts.
SAG journalists protest against local cops
Hundred of journalists who had visited Kathmandu, Nepal to cover the 13th South Asian Games staged a silent protest against the Nepali Police, for assaulting a local photo journalist. According to a Nepal journalist, who organized the protest prior to the closing ceremony, the photo journalist was deliberately manhandled by the police officials, when he was capturing a scuffle where spectators were engaged in a brawl to buy tickets for the Men's football final match between Nepal and Bhutan.
"While baton-charging the unruly spectators on the road, the police officers dragged the photo journalist inside the stadium premises and assaulted him severely until he bled. He had shown his official identification cards and documents, but they never bothered about any of those. His camera equipment was also slightly damaged," the local senior sports journalist stated. The photo journalist is currently being treated in a local Kathmandu hospital.

Brotherhood's El-Beltagy fined for libel
El-Sayed Gamal El-Din , Saturday 10 May 2014
Leading Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohamed El-Beltagy has been fined by a Cairo court for libelling lawyer Mortada Mansour
Senior Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammed El-Beltagy, who is in prison facing a number of charges, has been fined LE20,000 and ordered to pay LE5,000 compensation to lawyer Mortada Mansour on charges of libel.
El-Beltagy is currently detained in Tora prison in Cairo, along with most other senior leaders of the Brotherhood movement. El-Beltagy is facing a number of charges related to inciting violence.
The Cairo court also fined a journalist with Akhbar Al-Youm daily Fayza Barakat LE20,000 on the same charges.
Mansour was one of several figures from the era of ousted president Hosni Mubarak who was accused of orchestrating the Battle of the Camel, when pro-Mubarak thugs rode camels and horses into Tahrir Square on 2 February, at the height of the 2011 revolution, and attacked protesters, killing 11 and injuring several hundred.
He and 24 other Mubarak-era figures were acquitted in 2012 on charges of inciting the violence.
Mansour -- who was elected head of the Zamalek sports club for the third time on 28 March of this year -- has been a controversial figure in Egyptian society since the 1990s, with a resume full of controversial lawsuits and public statements.
He hosted his own television programme on Al-Faraeen satellite channel in which he criticised many youth activists associated with the 2011 revolution.

ARTHUR L. LEAZOTT vs. TOWN OF BRAINTREE
MISC 83167
Norfolk, ss.
Sullivan, J.
Arthur Leazott, Sr., the plaintiff, invokes the jurisdiction of this Court pursuant to the provisions of G. L. c. 231A and c. 240 § 10A for a determination of the validity of restrictions imposed by the Town of Braintree, the defendant, in the conveyance to him of a parcel of vacant land on Elmlawn Road in said town. This parcel is shown as Lot 10 on a plan entitled "Braintree Terrace, Braintree, Mass.", dated June 1923 by George H. Wetherbee, Jr. recorded with Norfolk Deeds as Plan No. 561 of 1923 in Book 1574, Page 132. Lot 10 also is shown on a 1925 revision of said plan. The plaintiff looks to G. L. c. 184 § 30 and c. 231A for relief.
The parties have entered into the following stipulation as to the applicable facts:
"The parties herein stipulate that after full and complete hearing of all evidence which both parties would bring before the Court on the issues raised by the pleadings, the following would be a fair and accurate summary of facts:
1. That the plaintiff, Arthur Leazott, Sr., is the owner being seized and possessed of an estate in freehold in land situated in the Town of Braintree, said County and Commonwealth; being Lot 10, Blk. 3 on a Plan entitled "Braintree Terrace, Braintree, Mass. ", June, George H. Wetherbee, Jr., C.E.
2. That the said Lot 10 was the subject of a Taking by the Town of Braintree on December 15, 1931, for the non-payment of taxes in the year 1930, assessed to one Harry P. Chadwick.
3. That subsequent to the said Taking the Town of Braintree caused to be filed in the Land Court a Petition against the said Harry P. Chadwick to foreclose the tax lien acquired in the said Taking; that thereafter there was entered on February 12, 1936, in Land Court Case No. 7239 a Decree forever foreclosing and barring all rights of Redemption by the said Harry P. Chadwick in Lot 10.
4. That by instrument dated October 15, 1962, and recorded in Norfolk Registry of Deeds Book 4027, page 73, the Town of Braintree, acting by and through its Board of Selectmen, conveyed the said Lot 10 to the Plaintiff.
5. The Deed of the Town of Braintree contains the Restriction "that no dwelling house or unit shall be erected or placed upon any portion of the premises conveyed."
6. That no person other than the Town of Braintree is benefited or claims any benefit resulting from the existence of the said Restriction.
7. That the Town of Braintree is not the owner of any interest in any of the parcels of land adjoining the said Lot 10.
8. That the said Lot 10 is six thousand two hundred twenty feet (6,220) in area, more or less; that the nine closest parcels to said Lot 10, namely: lots 8, 9, 11 and 12 of Block 3 and Lots 23 thru 26, inclusive of Block 1 range in area from 4,830 square feet to 6,770 square feet.
9. That the said Lot 10 is in an area zoned "Residence B" which pursuant to the Zoning By-Laws of Defendant permits: "1.) Detached one family dwelling; 2.) Two-family dwelling in any dwelling containing more than six rooms ... "; that abutting and, without exception, all dwellings in the vicinity of said Lot 10 are single family residences.
10. That Elmlawn Road on which said Lot 10 is located is a paved public way in the Town of Braintree; that both water and sewerage facilities exist thereon."
The restriction, unlimited as to time, will expire in thirty years from the date of the deed to the petitioner, or October 15, 1992. G. L. c. 184 § 23. It understandably presents a bar to the ready sale of the lot. The plaintiff, therefore, argues that the restriction is not of "actual and substantial benefit to a person claiming rights of enforcement" within the meaning of c. 184 § 30 which proscribes enforcement or declaration of enforcement of a restriction unless this statutory test is met and that accordingly it should no longer be enforced.
G. L. c. 184 § 26 introduces into the solution of the problem two other questions, the "resolution of which are not free from doubt. This section initially provides that "[a]ll restrictions on the use of land or construction thereon which run with the land subject thereto shall be subject to this section and sections twenty-seven through thirty" with certain exceptions. The exceptions include restrictions held by any "Govermnental body" including within this definition any political subdivision of the Commonwealth; for this exception to be operative, however, compliance must be had with Section 33. The notice provisions of the latter section do not come into play for thirty years from the recording of the instrument imposing the restrictions. Therefore, for present purposes the restrictions imposed by the grantor in the deed to the petitioner are not subject to the provisions of Section 30 if in fact they run with the land, another qualification interposed by Section 26. It would seem quite clear that they do not.
This Court recently considered the question in The Bargain Center, Inc. v. Howard Johnson Company, Registration Case No. 24668-S, and quoted from the decision in Snow v. Van Dam, 291 Mass. 477 , 480 (1935) to the effect that "(i)f [it is] not intended to benefit an ascertainable dominant estate, the restriction will not burden the supposed servient estate, but will be a mere personal contract on both sides." There is no ascertainable dominant estate apparent from the deed to the plaintiff which the grantor must have intended to benefit by imposing the restriction so I conclude that the restriction does not run with the land. Since it does not run with the land, there would be no reason to bring the restriction within the purview of Section 30 which is designed to free real estate from restrictions no longer serving their original purpose. This would be so whether a governmental body was concerned or not. The restriction remains a personal contract between the parties, and in an appropriate proceeding, if the town is able to show damages for its breach, these might be awarded. The policy of Section 30, of course, looks to such awards only in a limited category and is indicative of the legislative policy in this area.
No reason for the imposition of the restriction has been advanced by the parties. It may be surmised that the restriction was designed to ensure that the grantee in the deed would retain title to the premises for use with his adjoining home and not immediately resell the lot for a monetary gain at the town's expense. That purpose has been served by the retention of title by the grantee for fifteen years. No evidence has been introduced as to any damages which might be suffered by the town should the plaintiff elect to breach the contract between the parties, and it is dubious that anything other than nominal damages would be appropriate should a breach occur.
On all the evidence I, therefore, find and rule that the restriction set forth in the deed from the Town of Braintree to Arthur Leazott, Sr. et ux, dated October 15, 1962 and recorded with said Deeds, Book 4027, Page 73, does not run with the land nor burden the title to the premises described therein; that the restriction is a personal contract only between the grantor and the grantees; that the provisions of G. L. c. 184 § 30 do not apply; and that the consequences of the breach of said restriction are not presently before this Court.

La Asociación Nacional de Establecimientos Financieros de Crédito (ASNEF) —denominada anteriormente Asociación Nacional de Entidades de Financiación—, es una asociación empresarial española creada en 1957, cuyas entidades asociadas de pleno derecho son establecimientos financieros de crédito (EFCs), así como entidades de crédito especializadas en financiación del automóvil y del consumo en general. Todos sus miembros asociados, españoles o extranjeros, son entidades reguladas y supervisadas que actúan en el territorio nacional de España.

Desarrollo
Los establecimientos financieros de crédito son entidades financieras reguladas, especializadas en ofertar préstamos y créditos además de un amplio conjunto de operaciones financieras de activo, si bien no pueden captar  fondos del público. También son miembros asociados los bancos especializados en financiación al consumo, pertenecientes tanto a grupos bancarios como a grupos de fabricantes de automoción.

ASNEF representa al sector del crédito al consumo regulado por la normativa española y europea, que abarca todos los ámbitos de actividad.  El cumplimiento de esta normativa por parte de las entidades asociadas está sometida a la supervisión del Banco de España y en algunos casos al Banco Central Europeo (BCE) y otros bancos centrales.

La Asociación funciona como un enlace entre las administraciones públicas, las entidades de crédito, asociaciones españolas y europeas, interlocutores sociales y los consumidores. Entre sus finalidades está el fomento del crédito al consumo y la educación financiera; promoviendo estudios sobre financiación y la elaboración de informes, análisis y estadísticas. La asociación también organiza y participa activamente en jornadas, eventos y otras acciones dirigidas a transmitir información a consumidores, profesionales y al público en general.

Historia

Fue fundada en 1957 cuando, en la Cámara de Comercio de Madrid, las empresas de financiación acordaron constituirse en asociación y designar una Junta Directiva.

En sus inicios la asociación se acogió a la legislación del Ministerio de Gobernación. Al pasar el tiempo por imperativo legal surgió la necesidad de integrarse en la Organización Sindical, lo que se realizó el 19 de junio de 1962 al constituirse en "Agrupación Sindical Nacional de Empresas de Financiación". Desaparecido el sindicalismo vertical, se volvió nuevamente al campo asociativo, acogiéndose a la Ley de 1 de abril de 1977 que crea las nuevas asociaciones. La Asamblea General Extraordinaria, celebrada el 27 de junio de 1977, recogió el deseo generalizado de todas las entidades de continuar unidas en el seno de la "ASNEF" en su nuevo carácter de asociación. El 16 de agosto de 1977, los estatutos de la "ASNEF" fueron  inscritos en la Oficina Central de Depósitos de Estatutos de Organizaciones Profesionales, iniciándose una nueva etapa en la vida de la asociación que se transformó en una organización empresarial libre y voluntaria. Desde entonces representa al sector de las Entidades de Financiación ante los poderes Públicos (Banco de España, Ministerio de Economía, etc.) interlocutores sociales y los organismos internacionales.

Presidentes

Estructura
La organización integra a todos los miembros en una estructura de representación, que permite la participación directa de las empresas asociadas en la vida asociativa y en la discusión y toma de decisiones que les afectan.

Los órganos de gobierno son la Asamblea General, órgano soberano de la que forman parte sus miembros asociados y por otra parte, la Junta de Gobierno, elegida de entre los asociados por la Asamblea mediante sufragio libre y secreto. La estructura organizativa se completa con las comisiones sectoriales, técnicas y especializadas, creadas para el análisis, estudio y seguimiento de las cuestiones que afectan a las actividades de las empresas asociadas.

Presencia institucional
ASNEF es miembro de los principales organismos empresariales y sectoriales, tanto españoles como internacionales. Forma parte de las sociedades que fundaron en 1977 la CEOE (Confederación Española de Organizaciones Empresariales). También es miembro fundador (1984) de FIBAFIN (Federación Iberoamericana de Asociaciones Financieras). Desde 1984 pertenece a EUROFINAS (Federación Europea de Asociaciones de Entidades de Financiación).

Fichero ASNEF
Uno de los servicios gratuitos que ofrece la Asociación es el conocido Fichero ASNEF, que es una base de datos de información crediticia basada en el incumplimiento de obligaciones dinerarias. Incluye en sus registros la morosidad tanto de personas físicas como jurídicas y que han sido aportadas tanto por las entidades asociadas, como por entidades adheridas al fichero que no son miembros asociados de ASNEF (entre las que se encuentran compañías de telefonía, empresas de suministros, aseguradoras, editoriales, administraciones públicas, etc.) Con frecuencia el fichero de morosos de ASNEF se confunde con el RAI (Registro de aceptaciones impagadas). Sin embargo la información que contienen es diferente; ASNEF se encarga de reunir las deudas impagadas que provienen de un contrato (como puede ser una factura o un vencimiento de préstamo o crédito) mientras que el RAI se enfoca más en instrumentos de pago como pueden ser las letras de cambio, cheques y pagarés.

La titularidad del fichero ASNEF,  el mayor de España, corresponde a ASNEF, si bien su gestión está encomendada a la sociedad ASNEF-EQUIFAX, siendo las diferentes entidades adscritas al fichero (asociados y adheridos) las que mantienen la relación jurídica y comercial con el cliente, origen del posible incumplimiento, y las responsables de comunicar el alta, la baja o modificación de los datos que figuran en el mismo.

Las entidades asociadas, así como los adheridos, utilizan dicha consulta con la finalidad de colaborar con el crédito responsable y prevenir el sobrendeudamiento, dando seguridad al tráfico mercantil, así como de ayudar a las entidades adscritas al mismo para prevenir la morosidad y valorar la solvencia de las personas físicas y jurídicas con las que tienen o van a tener relaciones comerciales, de crédito y de pago periódico o aplazado.

El Fichero de solvencia patrimonial ASNEF es un sistema de información crediticia que, en materia de protección de datos personales, se encuentra específicamente regulado por la Ley Orgánica 3/2018, de 5 de diciembre, de Protección de Datos Personales y garantía de los derechos digitales. Su artículo 20 establece los requisitos necesarios para el tratamiento  y también para la consulta, de datos relativos al incumplimiento de obligaciones dinerarias. Por otra parte, el Reglamento de Protección de Datos UE 2016/679 de 27 de abril de 2016 establece (arts., 13 y ss.) los derechos del interesado y, entre ellos, el derecho de acceso que permite obtener del responsable del tratamiento la confirmación de si se están tratando o no datos personales que le conciernen y, en tal caso, el acceso a los mismos y además determinada información sobre su tratamiento (art 15).

Consultar registro
Cualquier persona puede solicitar directamente una consulta de forma gratuita para saber si está en el fichero ASNEF.  Si un consumidor quiere consultar si sus datos figuran en el fichero, se puede hacer de tres formas:

 Con el número de referencia, DNI o NIF en la propia web de Equifax.
 A través de correo electrónico, adjuntando una copia de tu documento de identidad
 Enviando una carta a Equifax (apartado de correos 10.546 28080 Madrid) con la siguiente información:
 DNI/NIF.
 Nombre y apellidos o razón social de la empresa.
 Dirección de correo electrónico a la que se puede remitir la respuesta.
 Fecha de envío y firma.

El servicio es gratuito y el plazo para conocer la situación no supera los 30 días en cualquiera de las formas presentadas.

"On Rock or Sand?" is a collection of thoughtful essays by some very experienced people, commissioned by the Archbishop after the financial crash and in the run up to the 2015 general election. They give us analysis and some creative suggestions on large and basic themes such as "Health and wellbeing in Britain", "The changing face of poverty", "Improving the health of our representative democracy" and others.
Justin Welby wrote "Dethroning Mammon" as a Lent book for 2017, and it discusses how we can recognise the power that the values of the world, the values of finance and economics, have over us, and in recognising them, find ways of breaking that power and giving God our service instead. "Reimagining Britain" is an attempt to take the challenge of Brexit and make it an opportunity, he says, for "re-thinking what we should do and be as a country".
We do have an opportunity for change. Where our Archbishops lead, shouldn't we listen? I hope these books will clarify your thoughts.


What Age Should I Start Saving Money?
Retirement: How Much Should I Save Each Month?
If you take the advice of financial experts and start planning for retirement in your 20s, you can enter your golden years expecting a comfortable income. You may be able to collect on a pension from your employer, or you may have investment returns piled up in various accounts, such as a 401(k), 403(b), profit-sharing plan or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Finally, there is Social Security, the mainstay for millions of Americans in their 60s and beyond.
No matter where your retirement money comes from, however, once you start to collect it or withdraw it from your accounts, it becomes income. This makes it essential to understand the tax implications of contributing to and cashing in your retirement funds.
What is taxable? The answer, perhaps not surprisingly, is that taxes must be paid on most types of retirement income.
Unless they come from certain public pension funds, pension payments generally are taxable at the time that they're issued.
Money in 401(k)s and similar accounts that you funded with regular contributions from your paycheck becomes taxable when you withdraw it. Remember: You contribute to these accounts on a pre-tax basis, which means the money is deducted from your gross salary before taxes are calculated on your pay. Earnings on those contributions are allowed to pile up, also without being taxed. But once you retire and begin taking custody of the money, Uncle Sam finally wants his cut.
Withdrawals from a Traditional IRA are similarly taxed, as the contributions used to fund them are generally tax-deductible.
Social Security benefits received after retirement also may be taxable depending on your total income and marital status. Consult Internal Revenue Service Publication 915 for guidance.
During your working life, it may be possible to make post-tax contributions to certain employer-sponsored retirement accounts, such as a 401(k), to avoid taxation later. But consider that your tax rate after age 59½ — the minimum age for withdrawing money without penalty — may be lower than in your younger years. Paying taxes as a retiree could be the better deal.
Another potential tax mistake is using discretionary income for retirement to make deposits to another type of savings account, such as a certificate of deposit or money-market savings account. After paying income tax through payroll you then must pay tax on any interest that you earn. That double taxation is why it is usually best to use a tax-deferred retirement fund.
Although the purpose of a retirement fund is to keep money secure until the end of your working life, you can draw out money early if necessary. This should be avoided, however, because you must pay a tax penalty on each early withdrawal from a 401(k) or other qualified retirement fund to the tune of 10 percent. This is in addition to regular income tax on the amount you take out of the account.
There are exceptions to this early withdrawal rule. Consult IRS publication 590 for more information.
The Roth IRA is one of the most advantageous types of IRAs because of its tax benefits. If you meet a few minimum requirements, you do not have to pay taxes on withdrawals from the account once you reach the age of 59½. This is because you do not receive a tax break on your contributions to the account.
Also, if you decide to withdraw money early, you pay taxes and penalties only on the earnings you have accrued. This can be a deal if you expect your tax rate to be higher after you retire.
You can roll over money from a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA and never have to pay taxes on future withdrawals, but remember that you may have to pay what is called a "conversion tax" on the rollover amount.
The IRS also extends certain tax benefits to individuals who save for retirement, whether employed or self-employed. Depending on your financial situation, you may be able to deduct your yearly contributions from taxable income, which reduces the amount of tax you're required to pay. The one main disadvantage of Roth IRAs is that you cannot take a deduction for contributions on your taxes.
If you are a low-income earner you may qualify for what is called the "saver's credit," which rewards those who contribute to retirement funds. To find out if you qualify, consult a tax professional.

Fly Me to the Moon: Inspired Design at the BIFF 2014 Gala
We can hardly believe that one of our favorite local events, the Berkshire International Film Festival, turned 10 years old this year. That's a decade of bringing world-class independent features, documentaries, short films, and family films, as well as panel discussions and special events with filmmaking luminaries, to our little corner of Massachusetts. Does it get much better?
The answer is a big, resounding yes, especially if you love great design, an amazing party full of supporters of the arts, and incredible food. Just last week, the BIFF hosted its 10th annual fund-raising gala—featuring interior and graphic design by Annie, a longtime BIFF board member, and her talented team—and the results were off-the-charts fantastic.
Needing a memorable venue for a few hundred film-loving folks, the BIFF chose the Walter J. Koladza Airport, otherwise known as the Great Barrington Airport, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, as the site for its 10-year anniversary party. In keeping with the location, everything—from the décor to the uniforms of the event staff and the place cards on the tables—featured a classic aviation theme.

Annie's crew brought in cloud-printed fabric to hang from the ceilings, and swaths of gossamer white fabric to cover the not-quite-party-ready walls of the hangar. A two-seater plane was even hoisted overhead on a lift to give the feeling of flight.
For the tables and the printed materials, Annie went with a simple yet impactful combo of red, white, and French blue. The tables were given the graphic treatment with red cotton runners down the middle, blue-and-white hydrangea centerpieces in shiny silver-finish square vases, French-blue-striped napkins, and bright, eye-catching "in-flight" menu cards. Our favorite touch? The cards used to identify the tables, printed with the codes of famous airports.
The program for the evening was designed as a boarding pass that guests received as they arrived at the party, and it also included an auction listing and auction number.
And then there were the swag bags. How cute are these? Tucked into each partygoer's bright red shopper was a French-blue-striped cosmetic case stuffed with fun takeaways, from a microdermabrasion consultation to a squeezy-ball globe, complimentary items from standout local businesses like Jane Iredale and the Red Lion Inn, and, of course, a BIFF button.
And the food? In a word, unbelievable. Annie's good friend and longtime favorite caterer Dan Mathieu of Boston's Max Ultimate Food outdid himself with a delicious and gorgeously presented feast, starting with a tangy salad of roasted beets, watermelon radish, and tomatoes, progressing through a delicate pan-roasted bass, and finishing off with a multidessert dance party (our top pick: the Lime Cilantro Sorbet).
Three hundred fifty people attended the sold-out BIFF 2014 gala, which featured an exclusive short film by director and special-effects legend Douglas Trumbull—the same film maverick who's been nominated for five Academy Awards and is now part of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, thanks to his work on movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Andromeda Strain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and The Tree of Life.
The auction was also a huge success, with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick offering up two home-cooked dinners for eight at his Berkshire home. Here's the governor on the right—with his wife, Diane, the mastermind of the dinners, in the center, just in front of Annie—along with Dan Mathieu, BIFF founder Kelley Vickery, Jacqueline Togut, and Kate Morris. By the way, both dinners went for a cool $18,000, all of which goes back to the BIFF to help bring phenomenal films and filmmakers to its annual festival.
And just for fun, here's Annie with good friend Kelley, right before the party got under way.
Huge congratulations to Kelley, Annie, and both of their crews for an unforgettable event. We're not sure how they're going to top it next year, but we look forward to finding out.
