WOW. Look at what my beautiful friend Booka made me for a belated Christmas gift. My very own 'Get Rawcous!' mobile! I mean, how amazing is that? I got choked up when I opened this. She is so talented and unbelievably thoughtful. I can't believe I was actually worried I might loose friends when I got into eating raw foods. If anything, it's just made me love them more (if that's possible). If anyone looses friends because of the way they like to eat, then they seriously aren't worth trying to hold on to. Be true to yourself and you never know, you might get a funky hand made mobile crafted just for you. Love it!


Christmas dinner at the "White Barn Inn" and Maine Real Estate Musings.
My husband and I were on our way back to Portland Maine after enjoying Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in Boston with family.
We had made reservations at The iconic White Barn Inn for 3:00 for Christmas dinner.
There are so many excellent dining spots in Portland that we had never been to the "White Barn Inn"
This seemed a great opportunity.
We were warmly greeted at the front steps by staff members. Which felt very gracious and welcoming.
we were led into the dining room and seated at a table for two.
The ambiance was old world and formal but warm, relaxing and intimate.
We each started off with a Hendrix dry martini. and delicate Maine lobster spring rolls in a Thai inspired spicy sweet sauce.
I chose the classic Beef Wellington with Madeira sauce and vegetable medley, one of their classic signature dishes. My husband chose the "Steamed Maine Lobster nestled on a bed of homemade fettuccine with carrot, snow peas, and cognac coral butter sauce. This was also a signature dish.
we had paired wine servings as well.
The lobster is taken out of its shell and placed elegantly on top of the fettuccine!
so they were ready when we were.
After that I couldn't stop myself from sampling the Christmas pudding.
It was prix fixe after all!
It was just a short drive home to Yarmouth, Maine. where we could hear the waves lapping outside.
It had been one of the warmest Christmas days on record in Portland Maine, a high of 55 degrees.
No wonder so many folks from "away" are finding it irresistible to snap up the real estate in Maine! Whether it be waterfront property or that "Uniquely Portland City condo or loft"
More next time on the burgeoning loft and condo scene on Portland's Peninsula especially on the "'Eastern Promenade".
Exquisite Contemporary Home in the Woodlands Club..Overlooking the 5th hole .soon to be listed!
And warm natural light in every room.
Large glass windows overlooking Japanese style gardens and the fifth hole of Woodlands Country club.
Exquisitely partnered with contemporary stone countertops and high tech appliances.
The professionally designed his/her master closets help keep one organized and able to enjoy the serene surroundings.
The master bath with high tech controls and heated bidet, and cabinetry by Wright Ryan, invites further relaxation.
This clutter free environment invites a spirit of peacefulness throughout.
There is an upper floor guest suite with upscale finishes perfect for an office/ bedroom or private guest suite.
It boasts a family room area with its own glass door entrance and 2 large bedrooms and bath.
The home is heated by oil currently but has propane access because of the on demand seamless generator.
There has been impeccable attention to maintenance and all mechanicals are excellent.
The lot is in a "coveted" location in the Woodlands and allows for much privacy from the street because of the orientation of the home to the rear overlooking the golf course. The gardens have a professionally installed irrigation system.
In my initial meeting with clients I ask how important use of a vehicle is to them? Do they need the comfort of having a garage attached to their condo/loft or at least nearby? If they say it is very important, I suggest that they check out condos with in 10 - 15 minutes away from the downtown peninsula area, or choose a high rise that has underground parking or at least adjacent parking to the building. A number of city lofts have no parking except on street parking.
Many retirees are retiring early in their 50's, some are in their 60's and 70's. All of them wish to remain healthy , so walking to nearby stores and restaurants fulfills a need, incorporating fitness in their lifestyle. But the question remains, how many stairs can you handle? Or do you need single level living with elevator access.
Portland Maine has some of the oldest housing stock in the nation. Many of the older more charming renovated buildings have multiple stairs in many cases. This can be very challenging in making the correct condo/loft choice.

Wonderful Land ist ein Instrumentalstück, geschrieben von Jerry Lordan, das von den Shadows aufgenommen und als Single veröffentlicht wurde. Es stand 1962 acht Wochen lang auf Platz 1 der britischen Hitparade, länger als jedes Beatles-Stück.

Lordan hatte 1960 schon das sehr erfolgreiche Apache für die Shadows geschrieben. Wonderful Land wurde im Mai 1961 aufgenommen, und zwar von der Originalbesetzung der Shadows mit Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, Jet Harris und Tony Meehan. Die Streicher wurden anschließend von ihrem Produzenten Norrie Paramor zugemischt. Als die Single im Februar 1962 veröffentlicht wurde, hatte Tony Meehan die Gruppe schon verlassen, um von Brian Bennett ersetzt zu werden, der als Mitautor  der B–Seite Stars Fell on Stockton angegeben wurde. Die Gruppe befand sich damals gerade in einer Phase des Übergangs, und noch während die Single auf Platz 1 stand, verließ auch Jet Harris die Shadows, um von Brian Locking ersetzt zu werden.

Charts
Das Instrumental wurde im Februar 1962 veröffentlicht und stieg schnell auf Platz 1 in den UK-Charts, wo es für die nächsten acht Wochen verblieb. Das schafften in den 1960ern nur die Archies, die Shadows und Elvis Presley – keine der Nummer-Eins-Singles der Beatles blieb so lange dort oben. Wonderful Land wurde auf Atlantic Records auch in den USA veröffentlicht, gelangte dort aber nicht in die Billboard Top 100. Es gibt über 30 unterschiedliche Pressungen der Shadows-Single aus verschiedenen Ländern, großenteils mit untereinander abweichender Covergestaltung.

Coverversionen
Wonderful Land wurde von vielen Künstlern nachgespielt, darunter Mike Oldfield, Mark Knopfler und Tony Iommi. Iommis Fassung erschien auf der CD Twang!: A Tribute to Hank Marvin & the Shadows.

Radioactive water at Fukushima creeps toward Pacific | CBC News Loaded
Radioactive water at Fukushima creeps toward Pacific
Under Fukushima's nuclear power station, a huge underground reservoir of contaminated water that began spilling after the 2011 earthquake has been creeping toward the Pacific.
Reservoir of contaminated water began spilling from plant's reactors after 2011 earthquake
The Associated Press · Posted: Aug 23, 2013 2:05 PM EDT | Last Updated: August 24, 2013
Serious problem at Fukushima
300 tons of highly radioactive water used to cool damaged reactors to prevent meltdowns have leaked out of holding tanks
Deep beneath Fukushima's crippled nuclear power station, a massive underground reservoir of contaminated water that began spilling from the plant's reactors after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami has been creeping slowly toward the Pacific.
Now, more than two years later, experts fear it is about to reach the ocean and greatly worsen what is fast becoming a new crisis at Fukushima: the inability to contain vast quantities of radioactive water.
The looming crisis is potentially far greater than the discovery earlier this week of a leak from a tank that stores contaminated water used to cool the reactor cores. That 300-ton leak is the fifth and most serious from a tank since the March 2011 disaster, when three of the plant's reactors melted down after a huge earthquake and tsunami knocked out the plant's power and cooling functions.
But experts believe the underground seepage from the reactor and turbine building area is much bigger and possibly more radioactive, confronting the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., with an invisible, chronic problem and few viable solutions. Many also believe it is another example of how TEPCO has repeatedly failed to acknowledge problems that it could almost certainly have foreseen — and taken action to mitigate before they got out of control.
Fishing ban continues
It remains unclear what the impact of the contamination on the environment will be because the radioactivity will be diluted as it spreads farther into the sea. Most fishing in the area is already banned, but fishermen in nearby Iwaki City had been hoping to resume test catches next month following favorable sampling results. Those plans have been scrapped after news of the latest tank leak.
"Nobody knows when this is going to end," said Masakazu Yabuki, a veteran fisherman in Iwaki, just south of the plant, where scientists say contaminants are carried by the current. "We've suspected (leaks into the ocean) from the beginning... TEPCO is making it very difficult for us to trust them."
To keep the melted nuclear fuel from overheating, TEPCO has rigged a makeshift system of pipes and hoses to funnel water into the broken reactors. The radioactive water is then treated and stored in the aboveground tanks that have now developed leaks. But far more leaks into the reactor basements during the cooling process — then through cracks into the surrounding earth and groundwater.
'"Nobody knows when this is going to end"—Masakazu Yabuki, veteran fisherman in Iwaki
About 1,000 tons of underground water from the mountains flows into the plant compound each day, of which 400 tons seep into the reactor and turbine basements and get contaminated. The remaining 600 avoids that area, but at least half of it is believed to eventually come in contact with contamination elsewhere before entering the sea, according to an estimate by Japan's Agency for Natural Resources and Energy.
Scientists, pointing to stubbornly high radioactive cesium levels in bottom-dwelling fish since the disaster, had for some time suspected the plant was leaking radioactive water into the ocean. TEPCO repeatedly denied that until last month, when it acknowledged contaminated water has been leaking into the ocean from early in the crisis. Even so, the company insists the seepage is coming from part of a network of maintenance tunnels, called trenches, near the coast, rather than underground water coming out of the reactor and turbine area.
"So far, we don't have convincing data that confirm a leak from the turbine buildings. But we are open to consider any possible path of contamination," said TEPCO spokesman Yoshimi Hitosugi.
Water 'about to reach coast'
The turbine buildings at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant are about 150 meters from the ocean. According to a Japan Atomic Energy Agency document, the contaminated underground water is spreading toward the sea at a rate of about 4 meters a month.
At that rate, "the water from that area is just about to reach the coast," if it hasn't already, said Atsunao Marui, an underground water expert at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology who is on a government committee studying the contaminated water problem. "We must contain the problem as quickly as possible."
TEPCO, nationalized and burdened with the astronomical cleanup costs, has been criticized for repeatedly lagging in attempts to tackle leakage problems. As a precautionary step, it has created chemical blockades in the ground along the coast to stop any possible leaks, but experts question their effectiveness. After a nearly two-year delay, construction of an offshore steel wall designed to contain contaminated water has begun.
The utility has also proposed building frozen walls — upside down comb-shaped sticks that refrigerate surrounding soil — into the ground around the reactor areas, but that still has to be tested and won't be ready until 2015 if proved successful.

Q: How do I simplify $E[E(ZX\mid Y)\mid Z,Y]$? $E[E(ZX\mid Y)\mid Z,Y]$ can be simplified?
Any comment would be much appreciated.

A: $\mathbb E[ZX\mid Y]$ is by defintion $\sigma (Y)$ measurable, and thus $\sigma (Z,Y)$ measurable. Therefore,
$$\mathbb E\Big[\mathbb E[ZX\mid Y]\mid Y,Z\Big]=\mathbb E[ZX\mid Y].$$

M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Website
Reimagining the User Experience
The M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust is one of the largest organizations of its kind in the U.S., they have funded over $1B in grants to nonprofits across the Pacific Northwest in their 44-year history. The Trust is also a thought leader in the philanthropic community, providing a wide a variety of development resources to nonprofits.
The Trust's website is one of the primary channels for that content, but it suffered from an important problem: Users couldn't effectively find the resources and information they were looking for.
Improve the user experience
Solidify the Trust's brand voice
Serve up a wide variety of fresh content
UX Process
It was necessary to map out the ~400 page site before moving forward with changes to its structure and flow, then to model such changes using revised site maps.
Visitors arrive at the Trust's site with very different goals. We developed usage scenarios for the primary user types to ensure success for everyone.
Wireframe + Prototype
Finally, simplistic layouts were created in order to test user experience (UX), prune excess content, and ensure that all critical user needs were met.
Serenity Studios has an eye not only for beautiful design, but intuitive navigation, and their team helped us think through how we could improve our website experience for our users by getting them to where they need to be, faster and more efficiently. The result is a website that is streamlined, easy to digest, and gets our grantees to the information they need in fewer clicks.
Camille Cotton
Grants & Communication Associate, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust
Fresh and valuable content served up for new and returning users
We performed an audit of the vast collection of pages, documents, articles, videos, then adjusted the design to separate dynamic from evergreen content.
New sector landing pages
We developed a brand-new page type that highlights the specific areas where the Trust supports nonprofits.
Faster Grants Data
We developed a much-improved Grants Awarded Database that is faster, more detailed, and more useful.
A streamlined user experience for grantees and nonprofits
The Trust's Mission and Offerings solidified on the home page
An active and engaging site where users return for fresh content and resources
Over nine years in strategic communications I've been exposed to a number of agency partnerships. Without question, the team at Serenity Studios represents the Gold Standard of service.

To meet the demands of increasingly sustainable mobility while responsibly combining economic growth with environmental protection, Iveco is committed to researching new technological solutions every day.
This innovative context led to the Iveco Dual Energy, a technological concept with a chassis that presents technology for the light-duty vehicle of tomorrow, shown in Iveco's innovation area in Hanover. Iveco Dual Energy proposes extremely flexible technology for light commercial vehicles, capable of switching to the most appropriate source of energy depending on the vehicle's mission.
The system relies on the use of two different types of traction - one is exclusively electric in order to ensure zero local emissions and low noise levels, and the other is hybrid (thermoelectric) and suitable for long journeys and for extra-urban missions, reducing consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 25%. The principle of operation consists of just a few steps: the fuel's chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy for motion, whereas kinetic energy, which would be dispersed during braking or vehicle deceleration, is recovered and converted into electric energy to be stored in the battery.
If necessary, this energy becomes available for the traction.
The hybrid system is the most appropriate for energy efficiency on extra-urban roads. Indeed, compared to a Diesel engine, this system ensures a reduction in fuel consumption and in CO2 emissions of up to 25%. The electric system is indicated for urban or low-traffic areas, where the speed limit does not exceed 50 km/h. Then, alternating these two traction systems makes vehicles suitable for "last mile" management in zero emission areas, whilst ensuring the best performances for extra-urban activities.
Iveco worked on creating this concept using an open and collaborative means of innovation rooted in its ability to cooperate with important partners, sharing ideas, skills and enthusiasm with them. The chassis components on display are the result of teamwork that involved major international companies.
Specifically: the multi-function chassis was developed with ARCELOR MITTAL and MAGNETTO; the components made from fibre composite material with Xperion; the suspensions in multi-material with Streparava; the built-in plastic modules were developed in collaboration with Sole. Also, the e-drive, an electric engine-generator paired with an inverter, was developed in collaboration with Bosch; the multimode manual transmission with FPT Industrial; the lithium ion traction battery with Johnson Control; the electric steering wheel with ZF Lenksysteme; the Electric Brake System with Brembo; the two-level air conditioning system with DENSO; the heat exchanger with CRF; the D-air® with enveloping airbags with Dainese.
In the same area, five seats are on display, four of which are for a Daily Minibus and one for a STRALIS, on which Airbag "D-air enveloping airbags" are installed, which use Dainese's D-air® technology.
D-air® is a technology that comes from the world of major motorcycle racing. Developed by Dainese, D-air® uses special high-pressure sacks with a patented 3D structure for maximum protection and ergonomics and "cold" technology gas generators. The new concept of a protective shell that envelops passengers was conceived to specifically address the needs of commercial vehicles and introduce a new paradigm in passive protection as well as a new way to improve the safety of transport.
The D-air® sack has a three-dimensional structure with controlled expansion (total intervention time from activation to inflation is around 45 milliseconds), which, together with high-pressure inflation, allows for a shape and volume designed to envelop and protect the passenger's body. All this makes it possible to achieve maximum shock absorption in a minimum amount of space - that is, the best possible trade-off between safety and ergonomics.


We make every effort to be a fully inclusive school. We welcome all children into our school community and aim to support every child to reach his/her full potential, both academically and socially. Some facilities are available to enable access to school for children with a disability. We recognise that some children have special talents which need nurturing and that some may need additional support occasionally, or even continuously, in order to help them make progress. All teachers differentiate classroom work to meet the needs and abilities of individual children within their class. If a child requires additional support or programmes to aid his/her learning or physical needs, they will, after close consultation with parents, be placed on the school's Special Educational Needs Register in accordance with the code of practice to which all schools currently adhere. This allows school to work in close partnership with a wide range of services, including health and social care, as well as outside educational professionals, to devise programmes and support to enable children to gain the support they need and make academic progress.
We firmly believe that the child, parents, school and any agencies should work closely together in order to provide the support needed so that every child reaches his/her full potential whilst at our Academy.
f you have any concerns regarding your child then please in the first instance raise this with you class teacher.

Loose farm animals in NYC: A brief history
By Nicole Brown
A bull escaped in Queens on Feb. 21, 2017. It was one of several farm animals to get loose in the city over the years. Photo Credit: Lianna Tarantin
Three goats, two sheep and a cow have all been rescued in the city this month, but they're just the latest in a string of farm animals breaking loose in the five boroughs.
Animals that are definitely not house pets have been spotted on highways, on sidewalks and even on subway tracks.
Though it's not always clear exactly where the animals come from, they are often escaping slaughterhouses, police have said.
Here's a brief history of some of the farm animals running amok in the city.
March 24, 2019: Baby goat found in the Bronx
A goat was found by teenagers near the Bronx Zoo, according to reports. After it was brought to Animal Care Centers of NYC by police, it was transferred to Farm Sanctuary in upstate Watkins Glen, ACC said.
March 21, 2019: Sheep tied to tree in Brooklyn
A soaking wet sheep was found tied to a tree in Coney Island Creek Park in Brooklyn, the sanctuary that rescued him said. The animal was taken to Cornell University Nemo Farm Animal Hospital, representatives of Farm Sanctuary said.
The sheep was named Officer Cal, after one of the NYPD officers who rescued him from the park.
March 19, 2019: Calf on the Major Deegan
A loose calf was caught on the Major Deegan Expressway near Exit 6 in Highbridge, the Bronx, police said. The animal was named after the expressway and taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue in Wantage, New Jersey. The calf, renamed Kristen, died of kidney failure on March 22, according to the sanctuary.
March 19, 2019: Goat wanders onto construction site
The same day the calf was rescued from the Major Deegan, a goat was found by construction workers after it escaped a Bronx slaughterhouse, Farm Sanctuary said. The workers brought the animal, later named Alondra, to Animal Care Centers of NYC and it was picked up by Tracey Stewart, Jon Stewart's wife, who brought her to Farm Sanctuary.
March 16, 2019: Another goat in the Bronx
Another goat was found roaming in the Bronx just days before Alondra, according to the Animal Care Centers of NYC. The NYPD caught the animal and it was taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue.
March 13, 2019: Lamb on the Gowanus Expressway
A lamb, later named Petunia, was spotted running on the eastbound lanes of the Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn, the NYPD said. The animal was rescued and taken to Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue.
Aug. 20, 2018: Two goats roaming Brooklyn subway tracks
A pair of goats was caught grazing along N train tracks in Borough Park. The two "very baaaaad boys" were corralled by the MTA and the NYPD. Jon Stewart picked up the animals later and transferred them to Farm Sanctuary.
Oct. 17, 2017: Calf running through Brooklyn
A brown calf was captured in the fields of Prospect Park Parade Ground after running through the streets of Brooklyn. The calf ran into a 2-year-old girl in a stroller, causing her to fall out and cut her lip, police said at the time.

I know St. Patrick's Day was last week, but I'm Irish and love the color green so, I wanted to keep the celebration of green going with this necklace design! This time I am using Soft Flex beading wire as a design component. This project appears to be complex but, it is easy and great for any beader. Only skill required is crimping. For crimping help, please visit our webpage, All about Crimps.
Cut Soft Flex Beading Wire into approximately a 10″ length. String bead frame and take one end of the wire around to make a circle and back through the first bead frame to create a loop. Wiggle this first bead frame to one side of the wire leaving about 1.5″ tail on one end.
Using the longer wire tail string your next bead frame and circle around the frame and back through to create the second loop. Continue stringing bead frame and making a loop until all 5 frames are complete.
Once your bead frame section is complete, use your chain nose pliers to attach the glass rectangles to the beading wire loops with jump rings. You have a little wiggle room to get the bead frame spacing the way you want before crimping. Take a moment to adjust any frames if necessary.
Using your crimping pliers, crimp one side as close to the bead frame as possible. You may use the Regular Crimping Pliers or Universal Magical Crimper to secure the crimp. I choose to use the Universal Magical Crimper as it makes a small 2mm bead out of the tube. For regular crimping instructions, click here. For magical crimper instructions, click here. Trim off the excess wire close to the crimp.
Using your chain nose pliers to attach a jump ring on either side of the fringe section. Cut your chain length in half and attach to each jump ring. Attach the lobster claw clasp to one end and a jump ring to the other end of your chain. You can also make it adjustable by adding one more jump ring and your optional 2″ length of chain to the back. In the photos below I'm wearing a 18″ chain in the top picture and adjusted it to a 20″ chain in the bottom picture.

Former Deezer co-founder raises $4M for Cloud Media Startup Plizy
By Liam Boogar Published on 13 December 2012 at 9 h 32 min
Cloud media startup Plizy has raised $4 million from Atlas Ventures, with Atlas Ventures' Fred Destin joining the board, alongside Paypal President David Marcus. The news, reported by AllthingsD and TechCrunch (though still not updated on Crunchbase), comes as the formerly Paris-based startup has officially installed itself in San Francisco.
"Plizy is the media center in the cloud that allows users to search, organize, watch and share any movie, show or video that is available online. Plizy aggregates more than 550,000 movies, 200,000 shows and one hundred million videos from the major video services making it the most comprehensive database available on the market. Through Plizy, content can be viewed on the iPad, web and TV, and users can discover new videos based on their interests, preferences and moods. Developed around the social graph, Plizy makes friends part of the viewing experience and uses advanced algorithms to put consumers within one click of any desired video.
With Plizy, you'll always know when a new episode of your favorite TV show is available and where, that is one click away!
By connecting your Facebook and Twitter account, you will let your friends help you discover new content."
– Plizy's YouTube Description for its 2.0 Demo Video
Around now seems like a good time to say that Plizy was the startup that originally brought me to Paris – specifically, Jonathan Benessaya himself, and his vision for video discovery. I left the startup after the completion of an internship, having already launched my personal blog and desiring to discover the Paris startup scene a little further instead of following the Paris team to San Francisco.
Because of my personal involvement in the company, I will refrain from my usual analysis of a startup, and will instead present you with a few screenshots and a demo video, and leave you to try the Version 2.0 of the application, now available on iPad.

If itching and burning does not subside within 2-3 days after initiation of antibiotic treatment and application of additional medicines, consult your doctor. Look for a doctor immediately if your symptoms are accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, fever or painful urinirarane.
It's nice to disinfect everything they have touched fungus. For example, the tub should be cleaned with a mixture of equal parts laundry detergent and chlorine var.Obuvkite from inside with soaked in formalin (25%) and acetic acid (40%) pad. Underwear can be disinfected by boiling water. Then press with a hot iron. Manicure scissors dipped in alcohol, then glowed flame.

The British National Party (BNP) has been one of the main talking points of politics in the last year. Starting in November 2008 with the leaking of their membership list [Ref: BBC News], ongoing debates about the banning of BNP members from public sector professions, Nick Griffin's on-off attendance at the Queen's summer garden party [Ref: Daily Mail] and BNP by-election successes have ensured that the party remain firmly in the public eye. In the build up to the European elections in June, politicians from all sides joined together in an anti-BNP alliance, warning voters that the consequences of their apathy could spell success for the far right. The winning of two MEPs would seem to prove their point, giving the BNP elected legitimacy. But some have suggested that we should treat alarmist predictions of a BNP advance with caution, arguing that the party is being used as a bogeyman to mask deeper political problems. Some go further still, suggesting that behind the clamour to 'stop the BNP' lurks a suspicion of popular power. Whether or not this is a flash in the pan or a real threat, it is a reality that the BNP do exist, work in a wide variety of professions, fight elections and win hundreds of thousands of votes. But questions remain about the place of the BNP in a democratic society. Should we defend freedom of political association to the hilt, or do the BNP pose too grave a threat to democracy and society to be ignored?
Is the BNP a real electoral threat?
In the recent 2009 European Elections the BNP polled over 940 000 votes nationwide, leaving them with two elected MEPs in two Northern England constituencies. The BNP also have over 60 town, district, borough and county councilors across the UK. Some politicians and anti-fascist activists point to these facts and the BNP's steady electoral rise as clear evidence that the BNP now pose a significant electoral threat, with a core racist membership and vote. Pointing to the growth and electoral success of far right parties across Europe, they warn that BNP gains become yet more dangerous when we consider the possibility of Pan-European far-right alliances and networks [Ref: Guardian]. However, others have been more dismissive of these successes and warn against misdiagnosing the problem. Underlining the small number of council seats currently held by the BNP (an estimated 0.25% of all councilors in the UK) and the still fairly insignificant share of the Euro vote, up from 4.9% in 2004 to 6.2% in 2009, they maintain that the threat is overstated. Arguing against the claim that the far right is on the rise, they suggest that the party have been the beneficiaries of a protest against the political mainstream, contending that it is a wider, more profound, political crisis that needs our attention, not the antics of a largely discredited fringe party.
There has been bitter division about tactics to oppose the BNP. Several groups such as Searchlight, Unite Against Fascism (UAF), and NUS support a 'no platform policy' for the BNP, which they suggest limits their scope and protects minorities from racism and abuse. Whether this takes the form of sabotaging the BNP's summer 'Red, White and Blue' festival, or banning members of the BNP from speaking in public, the policy is one of zero-tolerance. But recently, there has been some opposition to these tactics, with a number of student activists challenging the NUS's policy in particular. They make the case that 'no platform' is both illiberal and anti-democratic and that it is only by debating and exposing the poor politics of the BNP that they be defeated in public and at elections. Opponents of a no platform policy argue that tackling the BNP by denying the right to free speech is not only self-defeating, but might well make the problem worse by giving the party additional publicity and enabling members to pose as defenders of free speech.
The leak of the BNP membership list earlier in the year also reignited the long standing debate of whether further bans on BNP members, such as those held for the police and prison service, should be applied in the teaching, nursing and civil service professions [Ref: BBC News]. Those favouring a ban, such as teachers union NASUWT and Schools' secretary Ed Balls, argue that BNP members' views are so opposed to a public service commitment to an inclusive and democratic society that they are unable to adequately perform their roles in the public sector. But some commentators are troubled by evidence of a creeping authoritarianism and intolerance. They suggest that sacking people because of political beliefs is not only antithetical to the idea of a free and open society but has implications for the democratic rights of us all. Once one group of people can have their rights taken away on the basis of their opinions, it is argued that the floodgates are opened to ban yet more groups [Ref: BBC News].
Is the BNP a threat to democracy?
Leading political figures, such as former London mayor, Ken Livingstone, and David Lammy MP argue that the BNP is heavily staffed by 'members with openly racist, fascist and Nazi pasts' and that some have been involved in racial violence [Ref: Guardian]. Others argue that BNP policies for the repatriation of non-white Britons are racist. Many more suggest that the BNP is using democracy to gain power and influence in order to destroy it. Responses to this threat, they say, must therefore be steadfast and uncompromising. But others oppose such measures, arguing that the BNP has become a red herring. They suggest that attacking the BNP is a cheap shot for mainstream parties , allowing them to stand on the moral high ground and avoid their own lack of popular support and indeed some anti-democratic and anti-immigrant policies of their own parties. In this respect, they warn, avoiding debate about politics and scarring voters into voting by stating 'vote for anyone but the BNP' is a greater threat to democracy than the BNP itself.


How to Rid Lawn of Dandelions?
Home > Ask Our Experts > How to Rid Lawn of Dandelions?
My Garden lawn is inundated with dandelion weeds. Although it is not immaculate, the weeds are very unsightly and have spread across from a neighbour's garden. Can you tell me the best way to remove them quickly and how I can maintain the lawn in future?
Dandelions are an unwanted sight in any cultivated lawn and they are one of the most persistent of weeds; leave even the smallest bit of their root behind and it won't be long before you've a whole new plant to deal with, all over again. You have to take your hat off to them, between their remarkable ability to regenerate from below ground and their widely-spreading airborne parachute seeds, they're a remarkably successful – if often unwelcome – plant.
Sadly, the situation you describe is an all too familiar one. With a ready reservoir of new colonists sitting just over your garden fence, it's likely to be a battle that will be long fought and possibly never conclusively won – unless, of course, you can recruit your neighbour to the cause!
Fortunately, however, although you may never be able to eradicate them entirely, there are ways you can control them.
The quickest way to stop dandelions disfiguring your lawn is to hand weed them – but as I mentioned before, unless you get all of the root out, which isn't the easiest of jobs, they will return, sooner or later. It's clearly not a perfect solution, but it does offer an almost instant fix for the immediate problem, though you will need to keep on top of any new arrivals as they appear.
Pulling them up by hand is a laborious process, but there's a range of modern rapid weeding tools available at surprisingly low prices which make the job a whole lot easier and having recently tried one out, I have to admit I've become a big fan. You might even want to consider giving one to your dandelion-infested neighbour as a Christmas present, in the hopes that he or she will get the message and put it to good use!
Chemical spot treatment, using one or two applications of the latest generation of selective weed-killers, also offers a good way to manage dandelion infestations. Although it's not an instant fix – sprayed weeds take a few days to die – it does kill the plant right down to its roots, so there's little danger of it reappearing, though new arrivals will need to be treated as they occur. From what you describe, you'll probably have to repeat the treatment every 6 or 8 weeks over the season to stay on top of the problem.
Whether you choose hand weeding or weed-killers, I'm afraid you are probably facing an ongoing struggle, but with a bit of work, you should be able to produce a lawn that's largely dandelion-free. Add a bit of diplomacy with your next-door neighbour and you might be able to do even better!

Though many instances of cancer of the breast don't have any signs and symptoms until they are discovered on the mammogram, the most typical characteristic of cancer of the breast is really a new lump or mass.
Masses that are more inclined to be cancerous are painless, hard, and immobile with irregular edges.
However, many breast cancers could be tender, soft, or rounded — as well as painful.
Some breast cancers spread to lymph nodes underneath the arm or round the collarbone and result in a lump or swelling in individuals areas before a tumor within the breast growth is big enough to become felt.
Should you experience inflamed lymph nodes, call your physician immediately.
Breast exam: To check on for just about any protuberances or abnormalities, your physician will palpate (feel) each of your breasts and lymph nodes within the armpit.
Mammogram: A screening mammogram takes an X-ray of the breast to consider any abnormalities or alterations in your breasts. Contrary looks suspicious, your physician may recommend a diagnostic mammogram to take particular notice in the abnormality.

This Patrick Mahomes tribute video is one of the worst things you'll ever see

Patrick Mahomes is off to a hot start this season. He's on pace for over 44 touchdowns, and has only thrown two interceptions — both of which came against the league's best pass defense. In his first full season as a starter, Mahomes is making people pay attention to him, and in the case of one YouTube video, it's for the worst.
The video is titled "BIG DADDY PATTY" (yes, in all caps), which is apparently a nickname they're trying to make happen for Mahomes. Just for the record, no one else calls him this.

So right off the bat, I hate it.
The visuals are bad. The music production is bad. The "lyrics" are bad. Everything about it is awful as soon as the music starts.
But at least some elements of the beginning make sense. Patty Wagon — a station wagon with "Patty" Mahomes. Sure, fine. Big Daddy Patty — a clever pun using the nickname Patty with the word also used for a burger. I don't like it, but it makes sense.
What comes up next, though, is beyond words.

WHY IS THERE A HOT DOG?!?!
Look at the crazed look in its eyes. That hot dog is haunting. It's seen some terrible, awful things in its lifetime. It probably witnessed its entire family get devoured on the Fourth of July and is now out to seek revenge on the rest of humanity for what we did to its people.
And then the ending of the video just gathers everyone up — Patty Wagon, Big Daddy Patty, Murderous Hot Dog, and for some reason, a cloned, dancing human.
The only good thing about this video is that it's under a minute long.

Message summary: What a blessing that we can cast all our cares on the Lord and have an assurance that He cares for us. He ever loves and cares for His own!
"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7).
Hoffman became a minister and prolific songwriter and many of us still enjoy singing his songs today such as "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms", "Are You Washed" and others.
When Hoffman was not working in his study, he could often be found chatting with poor people in the homes "across the tracks". In fact, we pass over these same tracks each week. One day, in 1894, he visited the home of a parishioner in the hills near Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Sorrow and affliction were frequent visitors there. He found a woman in the depths of mental anguish.
He counseled with her and quoted verses from the Bible, which he thought would console her. However, she seemed to be unable to rise above her distress. He then suggested that she could do nothing better than to take all of her sorrow to Jesus. "You must tell Jesus," he told her. A light broke across her face and she cried, "Yes! I must tell Jesus." And so she did. After a period of prayer, she rose from her knees with a brightness in her face.
He ever loves and cares for His own.
What a blessing that we can cast all our cares on the Lord with the assurance that He cares for us. Indeed, He ever loves and cares for His own!
Daily prayer: Father, I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, for He is a kind, compassionate Friend. If I but ask Him, He will deliver, make of my troubles quickly an end. During times of trouble and tribulation; during times of sorrow and care; when tempted or lonely Jesus is there for me so prompt me, Father, to take my troubles to Jesus rather than foolishly wring my hands in utter distress. Jesus alone is the One who can help me when I go to Him, by faith, in prayer. Amen.
"I Must Tell Jesus" Video Joni sings "I Must Tell Jesus" and introduces songwriters, famous for their hymns, who had disabilities.
"Tell It To Jesus" Video Another old song that came to mind in the course of preparing today's message.
Today is our cat Dottie's 17th birthday. She was born on this date in the summer kitchen beside the rental farmhouse we first lived in when we moved to Lancaster County from New England in 2001. The barn cat who hung around the house had a litter and Ester selected Dottie to keep. By far she is the pet we have had for the longest time and she seems to be doing fine. She lives in our utility barn but we let her out daily so she can prowl around a bit. She still catches critters.

Pregnant woman's husband found dead in lake 3 weeks after going missing
Madeline Cox	| March 12, 2019
"If he was in the water, they should be able to find him. Where was he?"
Katie paced anxiously on the shoreline, willing herself to stay calm for the sake of the baby.
Although she hadn't heard from her husband Andy in hours, the American mum convinced herself that she just needed to wait a few more minutes - and he would be appear.
She would yell at him for stressing her out and they would go home laughing as they always did.
There was no way he was actually gone.
"It felt like the makings of a movie, except I was the lead character in a new horror show, which was my life," she first wrote on Love What Matters.
"Time felt still and in fast forward all in the same moment.
"I kept repeating over and over 'I don't want to live without him, I want to die, I want to die'."
The couple had been excitedly awaiting the arrival of their third child. Source: Katie Stifter
"My anxiety started to go in overdrive"
Busy with their two kids at home and 17 weeks pregnant, Katie had barely noticed when Andy didn't show up when he said he would.
But as the hours ticked over, she became more and more concerned that something had gone wrong.
She called Andy's phone over and over - not understanding why they were being sent straight to voicemail.
"It was not like Andy to be gone for so long, to not answer his phone," Katie said.
"My anxiety started to go in overdrive.
"I tried my best to be as calm as possible for my children, so they didn't suspect anything was wrong.
"I tried to push my anxieties out of my head, but I was shaking and crying as I drove to the lake."
The idyllic lake where Andy disappeared. Source: Katie Stifter
"So where was Andy?"
Andy's car was the first thing Katie saw when she arrived at the lake, the next was his empty paddle board floating ominously in the water.
As she anxiously combed through "trees, shrubs, and fallen leaves," while desperately screaming Andy's name – Katie felt pure terror begin to coarse through her body.
"Much of what happened after that was a blur, a lapse of time that I don't think my body and mind can handle to remember," she said.
"I remember officers telling me that if he is in the water, they will find him quickly.
"There was not a current, the water was so still it looked like glass, so there was a confidence - which was followed by confusion as the night dragged on, with no Andy.
Nobody had any idea where Andy had gone. Source: Katie Stifter
"Panic had already set in, but now a new terror had taken its place"
It would be three long weeks before Katie would finally have an answer to that question.
Every day the family would wake up, wondering if today would be the day Andy would finally be found.
As much as they didn't want to give up hope, it seemed impossible that they could endure the painful limbo for even a single second more.
"Panic had already set in, but now a new terror had taken its place – the reality and thought of not finding him," Katie said.
"Thoughts of not having closure and having to wait until Spring to begin the process of searching again.
"It was both frightening and sickening to have to imagine my life alone without Andy, but now without even being able to put him to rest."

"What I do know is the pain is raw and never-ending"
It wasn't until December 20, 2016 that Andy was finally found in the lake by a fisherman.
Even now, the family has no idea how he died, what his final moments in that cold water looked like.
Why at that particular moment, just before the arrival of their third child, Andy's life had been cut tragically short.
"It's beyond my understanding," Katie said.
"We do know he drowned, but we will never know how or why.
"What I do know is the pain is raw, never-ending.
"It was then and will follow me throughout my lifetime."

"We all felt Andy's presence"
Now, more than two years on from Andy's tragic death, the family is still struggling to move on with life without him .
This is especially true when it comes to baby Sullivan 'Sully' Andrew, who was born just a few months after Andy's funeral.
"Although Andy was not there at the birth physically, he was there," Katie said.
"We all felt his presence.
"Sully will never meet his earthly daddy, but my hope is he will feel the love of his daddy from all of us and the stories we share with him."

So with Cody and The Bucks helping start this new company many have started fantasising about who else they would sign in the near future. The only two others that have been announced are Hangman Page and Brit Baker. There is also talk that they may have a working relationship with NJPW. Now that would help them using a lot of their top talent and also allow Cody, The Bucks and Page to work in Japan. But I think that with NJPW already having a working relationship with Ring Of Honor who would obviously see themselves as a rival to All Elite Wrestling this will not happen. Also these talent relationship between two companies seems so B league. If they really want to change the game like they say they will then they will have to sign all their talent to contracts that permit them from working for any other company just like WWE do. Talking of changing the game here are fifty wrestlers that I think would be great for this company and I think could help them actually change the game and challenge WWE to the number one spot. Something that has not happened since WCW changed the game in 1996 and became the number one show. It is something that would give a boost to Pro Wrestling in general and could even force WWE to improve.
2. Chris Jericho- Someone who was a huge part of the whole AEW rumour right from the start. I would assume Jericho is one of their targets. He would be a great asset as he is a legend in WWE and known by even the most casual of wrestling fans. He brings his own set of fans wherever he goes and there is no doubt they would support him if he were to choose to sign with them.
3/4/5 SCU- Three guys that have been a huge part of Being The Elite on Youtube are Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky. I would be shocked if these three are not on the roster at some point down the line.
6/7 The Briscoe Brothers- One of the best tag teams in the world and have had some of the best tag matches I have ever seen in Pro Wrestling with The Young Bucks. They would be an awesome addition to this roster.
8. PAC (FKA Neville)- A former WWE superstar would bring his own fan base and would be another that WWE only fans would know and may want to watch.
9. Tessa Blanchard- The second generation star was the best female wrestler in 2018 in my opinion and would be someone who they could build the women's divison around.
10. Enzo Amore- Many may laugh at this choice but no one can deny the guy creates controversy. He may be a struggle for some to get on with backstage but again those fans he did have in WWE may be willing to watch him on a new show like AEW.
11. Will Ospreay- There is no question of the talent Ospreay has and he is so enjoyable to watch perform. He is someone who I see all the top companies attempting to gain his services in the very near future so he is someone they should try to snap up pretty quick.
12. Zack Sabre Junior- Another top UK Star who is having a fantastic run in Japan. His style is very different to most but again he is another The should try to sign quick as he is sort after by every top promotion.
13. Marty Scurll- I know he has a contract with Ring Of Honor but I'm sure as soon as it does expire The Villain will jump ship and join his Elite Team Mates.
14. David Starr- In my opinion he is one of the best indie wrestlers around today. He is great in ring and also on the mic. I think he is more than ready to be signed by a top promotion. It's baffling to me that no one has attempted to sign him up already.
15. Pentagon Jr- He went one on one with Omega at All In and is the best Luchador around today. He is another that WWE have been trying to lure and would be a blow to their rivals if they did get his signature.
16. Rey Fenix- The brother of Pentagon would more than likely follow his brother if he signed. He is the best high flyer around at the moment and is another that is so enjoyable to watch perform.
17. Kay Lee Ray- One of the best female wrestlers to come out of the UK. She is someone again that I'm baffled as to why she has not been signed up to NXT UK. But she would be a fantastic performer to have for the women's roster.
18. Jordynne Grace- She featured in the Battle Royal at All In and made quite the impression. She has been amazing performing for Impact Wrestling over the last few months and would be another who they could build that divison around.
19. Jimmy Havoc- Deathmatch Wrestling does have a huge following and if they go with have a more mature show then someone like Havoc who is arguably one of the best at that style would be the perfect fit.
20. Sami Callihan- He has been been the best heel in Pro Wrestling in 2018 and could be a huge part of the show with his talent at garnering so much heat.
21/22. LAX (Santana & Ortiz) They were the best tag team in 2018 and would be brilliant in the tag division. I know I'm not the only one who would want to see them have at least one match with The Young Bucks.
23. Joey Ryan- He is another who has been a part in Being The Elite and had one of the best storylines for ALL IN. I would think he is someone they would already have in line to sign soon.
24. Austin Aries- He has held championships in every promotion he has worked for and would be an ideal performer for this company.
25. Brian Cage- He was in the Battle Royal at All In and this freak of nature would definitely be a big player for any major promotion.
26. Kushida- There is talk that he is leaving NJPW and that the WWE are interested. But if other smaller Japanese WWE wrestlers like Itami and Tozawa are anything to go by you could see why I think he would be better suited joining AEW.
27. Joey Janella- Yes He is recuperating from a serious injury. But after the awesome match he had with Page at All In he surely is someone they would want in their roster.
28. Brian Pillman Jr- He had a fantastic 2018 on the Indies and I think this son of a legend would be some that could be as good as his father was. Why no one has offered him a contract already is ludicrous.
29. Matt Cross- Another guy who was on the main card of All In. A fantastic high flyer and could have a great match with anyone.
30. MJF- Another guy who was on All In and had a great 2018. Supposedly Cody is a fan of him so he is someone I think is already on their wish list.
31. Shane Strickland- He has been one of the best Indy workers I have seen in the last few years and is another that baffles me as to why he has not already been signed by a top promotion.
32/33 Aussie Open- They have been the best tag team performing in the UK in 2018 and are only getting better. Both Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis could both be as successful as singles competitors as they are a team.
34. Angelico- The extremely talented South African has been impressive in his time in Lucha Underground and AAA. He has his own huge fan base and I'm sure they would love to see him on the big stage.
35. Teddy Hart- This third generation wrestler is still incredibly talented and his family name brings its own set of fans along with it.
36. Matt Lawlor- The former UFC fighter has adapted to pro wrestling incredibly fast and could possibly get a small portion of MMA fans wanting to watch him compete as a Pro Wrestler.
37. Viper- She has got better and better over the last few years and is becoming one of the best female wrestlers in the world surely a welcome addition to the women's divison.
38. Su Yung- She has been really impressive in her run in Impact Wrestling. She has a very intriguing character and would be something completely different to all the other women I see them signing.
39/40 UK Hooligans- One wrestling family that's popularity will increase when the film Fighting With My Family is released next year. The brothers Roy and Zak Knight are one of the best teams to ever be produced in the UK. They would be a very exciting duo for the tag division.
41. Saraya Knight- Like Roy and Zak I'm positive her popularity will grow even more. She is one of the most experienced female wrestlers in the world and could be an excellent leader for the women's roster.
42. Ricky Knight Jr- The son of Roy Knight and Nephew of WWE's Paige this youngster is probably the most talented performer to come out of that family and I am positive he will be signed by a major promotion in the very near future.
43. Ricky Shane Page- He is known mainly for his deathmatch wrestling but he is a very good technical wrestler and if they go down the violent path he would be perfect for that genre.
44. Shane Taylor- One of the best big men in the business today. There are not to many big men in wrestling these days so he would be something different from the norm.
45. Nick Aldis- He may already be signed to NWA but that has not done much over the last few months. They could always have a talent share deal and the NWA title being defended on AEW would be a massive bonus.
46. TK Cooper- Another very talented wrestler that has come from Down Under. He has had a good few years on the UK Indy scene.
47. John Morrison- The former WWE superstar has been a success for every promotion he has wrestled for. He had a superb 2018 having some of the best matches I saw last year for Impact Wrestling and Lucha Underground.
48. PCO- A veteran who has done a fantastic job recreating himself. His gimmick is brilliant and would love to see him given one more run.
49. Low Ki- Has been in fine form last year for MLW and would be excellent for this roster.
50. CM Punk- If they are really going to change the game like they say they are going to then he is the one person who could help them do it. He still has a massive fan base and I am certain they would all flock to AEW to see him back in a Pro Weestling ring.

Eicher forays into Bihar
Jan 31, 2013: VE Commercial Vehicles Limited (Volvo Group and Eicher Motors JV) inaugurated the modern and contemporary dealership of Eicher branded trucks and buses - M/s Pawan Automotives Pvt. Ltd. at Begusarai in Bihar. The dealership which is a 3S dealership (Sales, Service & Spares) facility will further strengthen the company's resolve and commitment to provide sales and after sales support to the rapidly growing customer base of Eicher in the Eastern part of the country. It is located at NH 3, Harpur Chowk, Begusarai and has a modern equipped set up of 17,000 sq ft. with contemporary tools and equipments. The service team at the new touch point has been trained at the Eicher training centre. Eicher has 250 touch points nationally with 20 touch points in the Eastern region and would be continuously expanding its foot prints to be close to its customers. The first Eicher branded truck was rolled out from its state of the art manufacturing plant in Pithampur in 1986 and over the past 25 years, the products have got endorsement from happy customers of over 300,000 vehicles. The company today has transformed into a complete CV manufacturer with a wide product range from 5t to 40t GVW trucks and 16 to 65 seater buses. Eicher trucks were one of the first in India to offer the tilt cabin, apart from ready to use built-up vehicle in accordance with customers' needs. Another example is the Eicher school bus which has been designed in conjunction with the IRTE (Institute of Road Traffic Association), school and parent bodies and the IIT. The result has been a bus that is equipped with safety mechanisms to ensure an incident-free journey
Eicher Trucks and Buses over the time have been trusted and proven as the best in class fuel efficient vehicles. Fuel efficiency (FE) is a critical parameter in purchase decisions of Commercial Vehicles as fuel constitutes over 50% of the running cost for the customer. Eicher brand has always been associated with fuel efficiency and the same has been proven through various trials and actual usage by the customers. Using state-of-the-art technology, innovative design and engineering, an Eicher vehicle consumes less diesel as compared to others leading to more profitability for the customers.
Speaking on this occasion, Mr. G. Sekar (Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing) said "The Company's products strongly emphasize its customer orientation. The company's effort to provide value to its customers has also borne fruit with increased customer acceptance reflected in growing vehicle sales. Eicher products are known to be the most fuel efficient vehicle in its category. They are also known for its overall low cost of ownership and the reason can be found in the 'Eicher advantages'.
Also present on the occasion Mr. Sree Ramarao (Senior Vice President – After Market) said that the focus is on improving customer experience at the dealerships. "We want to get closer to our customers and ensure that they are able to get their products serviced much easier and faster. We are continuously enhancing the standards of our distribution centers so that we provide best-in-class service and uniform customer experience" added Mr. Rama Rao.
The co. has ensured Enhanced Service coverage through-
Wide network of close to 250 dealer outlets across country
Higher availability of Parts
Mobile service vans with all dealers
24x7 helpline with All India Helpline number
The company's effort to provide value to its customers has also borne fruit with increased customer acceptance reflected in growing vehicle sales. The company's products strongly emphasize its customer orientation and the brand has shown strong gains in the market shares. In the year 2012, there was an all-round improvement in market shares of Eicher across all the segments. Bus market share reached 11.9% up from 9.7% in 2011 and 6% in 2009. In the LD/MD segment, the market share stands at 31.4% up from 30.5% in 2011 and 25.6% in 2009. In the HD segment the market share is at 4% up from 3.1% in 2011 and 1% in 2009. In the high end Volvo Tippers, we are at 60% from 58% in 2011. Overall, the organization ended the year with a sale of 48831 units against 49043 units in 2011, a drop of 0.4% as against industry drop of 11.6%.

Yesterday Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed cloture motions for three district court nominees, setting up their confirmation and cloture votes (if the Democrats require cloture votes) for the week of June 2nd, when the Senate returns from its 10-day recess. If the three district judge nominees are confirmed, this will mark the 40th, 41st, and 42nd federal judicial nominees confirmed to date.
Also this week, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing for President Trump's nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, Britt Grant, who is currently a Justice on the Supreme Court of Georgia. The Committee also voted to advance the nomination of Andy Oldham, President Trump's nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, to the Senate Floor for a full confirmation vote.


And, how are we supposed to have a meeting without Wi-Fi?
Corporations are different. They're publicly traded. They're often much larger than law firms. They're divided into operational divisions with pyramidal structures, with many people reporting to fewer people who report to fewer people still who report to someone near the top. Put that all together, and it means meetings. And meetings. And meetings. And meetings. In fact, to my eye, there are four types of corporate meetings . . . .
First, there are meetings that are necessary to move the ball. These are the types of meetings that you experience at law firms: Several people are undertaking different tasks. The tasks must be coordinated, and you need a unifying mind at the top to know what's happening. So you meet.
Or you're struggling with a tough issue that you can't resolve alone. You need help, so you meet.
Thus, the first type of meeting is one that's substantively necessary: You meet to move the ball.
But we set meetings at corporations for many other reasons, too.
Because of the frequency of internal corporate meetings, and the manner in which they are conducted, they are prime pathways to waive the company's privilege. How can we minimize the likelihood of doing so?
1. Judges and juries think you're a gangster. Realize that judges and juries, the ultimate consumers of lost privilege, think that internal counsel are some kind of consigliere — at best. You are perceived (wrongly, usually) as a businessperson worried about budgets or looking good for the boss or covering up problems, rather than as lawyer with independent judgment, ethical constraints and multiple clients rather. This is why, for example, agents and prosecutors do not especially like you, either, and may ask that you not attend employee interviews. The privilege caselaw about internal lawyers is often not great, either.
2. Pretend that you are Tom Hagen. In the movies The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, the consigliere to Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), and later Don Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), is Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall).
Fantasize that you actually are a consigliere, which has the two-fold benefit of (a) driving other people crazy and (b) preserving privilege. Follow steps (3) to (13) below.
3. Face-to-face. Among mob movies, The Godfather franchise still reigns supreme. In The Godfather, does anybody talk on the phone? Not if they can help it: somebody's always listening. You should assume the same.
Face-to-face, outside, with a cement mixer in the background is best for avoiding audio surveillance.
You've seen it in the movies. Face-to-face is best for preserving privilege, too: no forwarded emails or unintended texts to worry about. (f you want to unnerve others in the meeting, you can pay your drug-addled nephew, the one at the construction company, fifty dollars to drive a cement mixer back and forth outside).
4. Phone over email. If it's raining outside, or if cement mixers are too grimy, use the phone rather than email or text.
5. Maximize formality to maximize privilege. Here in the 21st century, business is supposedly informal, collaborative and horizontal rather than hierarchical. (Supposedly. Mainly, in many informal, collaborative and horizontal offices I see guys who would barely look good in suit-and-tie wearing clothes designed for junior-high volleyball coaches). Privilege, on the other hand, is formal: privilege law draws sharp distinctions based upon need-to-know; control groups versus the controlled; and circles within circles. If an activity actually helps the business, the product or the service, or is useful to and used by lots of people across the organization, it's probably not privileged.
6. If it was good enough for the Dead Sea scrolls, it's good enough for you. If there are to be agendas at the meeting, print them out on paper and then, after the meeting, collect them back up.
7. Put a bullet in bullet-lists. A PowerPoint presentation is already sufficiently soul-eating. (See Edward Tufte's work on this subject). Do not compound the problem by allowing meeting attendees to tote the presentation around: do not print out the PowerPoint slides and do not distribute them.
8. They no longer make carbon paper. Ban "cc's," an abbreviation for "carbon copy." (Remember mimeograph machines, though? Nothing made you think "second grade" more than the smell of mimeograph fluid). Some employees seem to think that the more they "cc," the more they communicate (or the more CYA they have). In general, the longer the "cc" list, the more likely that privilege will be lost, if indeed the email was privileged in the first place.
9. "Re" is a Latin prefix, not a meaningful communication. Do not re-use the same subject line in emails. Despite advances in technology, recycled "re" lines make pulling out the privileged thread more difficult and encourage thoughtless, too-rapid correspondence.
10. Crimson Security. If you must distribute documents with important factual and legal findings, print them on red paper. When scanned or photocopied, red paper turns black. You do not waive anything because no one can read anything.
11. Technological omerta. Look into "Silent Circle" or similar tools to minimize the permanence of emails.
12. Upjohn Massacres. Speak the language of Upjohn, frequently, meetings. It sobers people up. Seriously: people need to remember that the substance of the meeting is privileged and that the privilege is held by the company.
13. BYOD Is More Of A Menace to Privilege Than BYOB. Bug your IT people about making and enforcing a coherent policy on the phenomenon of "bring your own device" to work. (BYOD is not going away. Most employees would much rather bring their own device to work than bring their own children to work).
There's work in here, somewhere.


It's a been an emotional couple of weeks since Mike and I decided to defer the Zion Half Marathon! Personally, I've been feeling a little bit lost, trying to figure out what's next, both training and life-wise. We got jobs, in opposite directions from each other (mine 4 miles from from where we are currently residing, and Mike's 40 miles away) which makes our ideal moving plan tricky. A lot of bills that have fallen to the wayside are being dealt with. I'm hoping we'll be able to finagle Rock'n Roll San Diego or Seattle in a few weeks!
So I've taken some time to reflect, and for the time being also disabled my Instagram account. I'd like a little time off to focus on the present and take care of pressing matters both financially and personally, instead of mindlessly scrolling through pictures every time I get bored or sad. Instead of living vicariously through everyone else's feed, I decided on a whim to disable my account, and give more attention to my own day-to-day. It's strange, I'm not going to lie, to not go onto social media! It's going to take a little getting used to. Strava just doesn't give me the same instant gratification.
When I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself, I realized it was time to roll out the mat and hop back into Yoga Revolution. Because not only am I taking a break from social media, I stopped running and doing yoga. I'm still cycling most days, as it's my transit to work! So, the workouts are still getting done! I've done two runs since mostly cycling and it's incredible, the difference already. I feel stronger, and I'm faster. I should also admit here that they've been shorter runs, three and four miles respectively. But! I am very pleased. I'm also pretty sore all the time – my legs feel the burn!
I joined a gym recently, with a pool, and I'm also hyped to start swimming. Initially I thought 2018 would be the year of a Ragnar Relay and Ultra Marathon for me. As I've been cycling, neither of those goals is off the table, but I realize I'd rather complete a triathlon! The cross-training will only make me stronger in terms of my running goals, because honestly, after my last marathon, my ultra goals felt farther out of reach. I don't want to crawl over a finish line, I don't want to fall apart at mile 18, or 20, as I usually do. I want a stronger race.
In the last four days I've completed Yoga Revolution Days 11 -14. I've run. I've done Tone It Up Arms, both Bikini Arms and the Fine Toning Arm Routine. I've completed Yoga For Beginner's Mind, Yoga for the Future and Yoga Core Power Wake-Up. Don't call it a come-back! Haha, or call it just that, honestly it's how I feel right now!
