Research Japan
Research into Japanese Law
The Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg is deeply involved with the comparative study of Japanese law, focusing on civil, commercial and economic law.
Comparative law focusing on Japan is a particularly interesting field because of the broad range of influences that have shaped modern Japanese law in its emergence as one of the world's major mixed legal systems. Research on Japanese law demands the extensive incorporation of approaches from cultural anthropology, sociology, economics and politics. A particular task of this field is to apprehend and elucidate the tension between the law and extra-legal social mechanisms of regulation.
The Study of Japan in Comparative Law
There is no doubt of the enduring importance of Japan – and thus also of Japanese law. The influence of Japanese law on other East Asian countries has been and remains considerable. Modern Japanese law constitutes a mixed legal system. As a result of Japan's multi-layered history of legal reception, today it exhibits a mosaic of legal concepts from various legal orders. Not least among these influences is the German system, although it is embedded in a different legal tradition and legal mentality. more
Research Focus in Japanese Law
Research related to Japan presently focuses on two themes of current interest. The first of these is the paradigm shift in the Japanese regulatory and supervisory model that occurred almost a decade ago in response to the challenges of globalisation. The second theme, which is loosely related to the first, concerns the changes underway in Japanese corporate governance. Both themes are a part of modern legal and institutional comparison within the "Triad" (US – EU – Japan). Thus, they can contribute to the discussion of the contours and limits of a potential international convergence of systems.
Transformation of the Regulatory Model
Japan introduced a fascinating array of de-regulatory reforms as well as some "re-regulatory" reforms across nearly all legal fields. The reforms' stated goal was and remains the creation of a transparent regime of market-oriented regulations that prioritises market forces over bureaucratic control and that can thrive amidst competing international regulatory schemes. At the heart of the reforms is a fundamental systemic transformation which replaces a consensus-oriented, secretive, discretionary and bureaucratically vested model of economic guidance with a rule-based regulatory model. more
Alterations in Corporate Governance
Beginning in 2001, the Japanese legislature has incrementally undertaken a comprehensive reform of company law, making it far less regulated and far more flexible. This was meant to help overcome the economic crisis and enhance the competitive strength of domestic companies. A host of options for configuring their organisational structure and corporate governance are now available to stock corporations, which are the predominant legal structure for businesses in Japan. more

Consumer credit reform in Japan – taking stock ten years on
In June 2010, a major overhaul of consumer credit laws entered into force not only in Germany, but also in Japan. After decades of lax regulation, Japan cracked down on criminal developments in the field of consumer credit – a multi-billion-dollar industry that had, as a result of usury and terrifying collection practices, led to large-scale social issues, namely soaring over-indebtedness and many thousands of debt suicides.
Legal Issues and Society 5.0 – Theme of the new issue of the Journal of Japanese Law
Under the heading Society 5.0, Japan has launched a government programme to tackle current and future economic and social challenges with the aid of digital technologies. But the ongoing digital transformation of society raises many new legal questions. In the latest issue of the Journal of Japanese Law (48/2019), co-edited by Prof. Dr. Harald…

The most significant change in the Town of Okotoks in the last year has been the creation and promotion of two programs that target vulnerable groups in our community as well as a new special event.
Diversity Dance is a dance and movement program specifically targeted to persons with cognitive and/or physical disabilities. Although targeted to this specific group, Diversity Dance is open to any interested participant. The local high school contacted the programmer of this class and arrangements were made to bring their entire diversity education class to this program. Part of the strength of this program is due to the amazing instructor who is committed to providing a positive and engaging dance program to some of the communities most vulnerable members.
Active8 is a program that was launched at the beginning of 2014 at the request of the Mayor of Okotoks and completely supported by town council. This program provides a free facility pass to all grade 8 students who are registered at a school in Okotoks or who are home schooled in Okotoks. This group has been identified as particularly susceptible to dropping out of organized sport and not participating in recreational activities. The free pass is to re-engage this age group by reducing barriers and encourage taking part healthy options through the provision of a range drop-in activities as well as special events. Started as a pilot project, funding has been included in the 2015 budget which will ensure the program continues.
2014 marked the first year that the Fitness and Wellness Symposium and Trade Fair was offered and saw a cross-section of organizations and health professionals provide sessions on a variety of topics to do with health, wellness and nutrition. Many organizations participated in this event to promote their business as well as individual business owners who wanted to grow their cliental.
The Fitness and Wellness Symposium and Trade Fair was major one stop event that promoted options for active living and healthy eating to business owners, professionals and community members!


This year is rolling by gently and swiftly, all at once.
It seems like moments ago we were deep in the January greys, and spring and summer felt like a million years away. And now it's April, and life is full of sunshine and greenery and the lightness of spring mornings. Similarly, it seems like a heartbeat ago that we got engaged and the wedding was an age away….tomorrow we will have been engaged a year and the wedding is four months away. The house is filling up with stationery and gifts and ribbons; truly the days are long but the years are short!
Here we are deep in my Easter break. This year is especially decadent, with a three and a half week break in classes. Naturally, I'm reading, planning and sorting plenty in that time, but the absence of the 5.30am alarm, heels and dozens of work emails a day is bliss. I'm a very decent housewife it turns out! I like cooking, cleaning, volunteering, reading and socialising…but it's always nice to be in the classroom too. I'll be in a lot of next week to get ready for the always busy summer term.
So that's us – posts to come soon on my adventures in homemaking, our trip to Madrid, wedding planning, and cats (hey, you know me!). Have a wonderful weekend, all!
Thank you lovely! Exciting times.

Our Central Florida rehabilitation clinic, located in Sanford, Florida offers therapists experienced in the treatment of back and neck pain caused by a wide range of conditions. We work hard to develop a customized pain management program for each patient, often employing the back pain management techniques outlined below. When you request a consultation with Adkore Rehabilitation and Chiropractic, we take the time to learn about you and your concerns to achieve a smooth, effective road to recovery.
It is possible that many types of chronic pain result from physical or mental stress. The motion of a therapist's hands across the joints, muscles and skeleton can cause greater relaxation. Lowering the level of stress of an individual affects many other areas of health. Massage therapy will help most people with chronic pain.
Chiropractic treatment is recognized as one of the most commonly used methods of treating neck and back pain, including pain caused by stress, herniated disks, fibromyalgia and more. If the pain is due to any Subluxation, unaligned vertebra, chiropractic care is recommended to diagnose and treat the source of pain.
Persons with chronic pain may be severely hurt and physically de-conditioned. Physical therapy will include: Stretching, Strengthening exercises, and Pain relief exercises.
Acupuncture decreases pain by increasing the release of chemicals that block pain, called endorphins. Many acu-points are near nerves. When stimulated, these nerves cause a dull ache or feeling of fullness in the muscle. The stimulated muscle sends a message to the brain, causing the release of endorphins.
Adkore acupuncture practitioners perform subcutaneous injections of FDA approved homeopathic remedies for stubborn conditions, especially pain, that do not respond well to acupuncture, herbal medicine, and exercise. These injections promote pain relief and healing with natural, non-addictive supplements.
If you are suffering from the neck or back pain, there are a variety of treatment options available to relieve your discomfort. Contact AdKore to schedule a consultation.
Your road to recovery starts today!
I have been a receiving acupuncture treatment from Dr. Sager for the past 2 months. I had both knees replaced 12 years ago and since then I had lost all feeling in my right leg from below the knee to half way up my thigh and also the front and outer side had been completely numb. Dr. Sager asked if she could try a treatment on my leg. The treatment took about 5 minutes, and involved her using suction cups. I was astonished that immediately after the treatment the numbness was gone. I had asked her if this would help my neck and shoulder pain that I have from arthritis, after another 5 minutes the pain was gone. Thank you Dr. Sager for giving me relief from pain and for also giving me back feeling in my leg.
I did not want another weekend of pain. I called Adkore and Melisa answered: "Come this afternoon, and we'll see what we can do to help." Two years have passed and not only has everything healed, but I continue two days a week to keep my body in great working order."
I've been coming to Adkore Center for only a short time, and I am finally living a pain-free life. The remarkable improvement in my health is due to a combination of chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, and massage therapy.
I was experiencing migraine-level headaches after my car accident every two to three days. After receiving decompression treatment, I have had only one headache in two months. This treatment has been my miracle.
What was pain and suffering is no more. Thank you, Adkore Rehabilitation Center!
I've been a patient with you for several months now and just wanted to say thank you! Every person I have come in contact with has been caring, kind, and respectful. Your staff is a fine example of what a treatment/rehab facility should be, from handling my insurance and payments, scheduling, to the personnel treating me.


tried using it to make a big pancake which did not work then tried small pancakes which worked perfectly! Make them no bigger then the circumference of a protein shaker lid and they are perfect. Chocolate flavour was nice and best of all they don't end up really dry! going to buy the big pack now!
This mixed really well but the artificial blueberry smell was overwhelming and they just wouldn't cook properly. In a non-stick pan and a good bit of oil they were sticking on the outside and not cooking in the middle at all. Never got as far as tasting them.
Sooo i bought this to see what they would be like ( despite the reviews on these and the non vegan mix) they cooked absolutely perfectly and the powder dissolved well and didn't leave any clumps !! But ... they were very sweet/ sickly (i have a sweet tooth !! ) I might try the chocolate ones next just to see !

ABOUT TH CLUB
The BWP Albany membership, which draws players from the Greater Capital Region of New York and parts of Vermont, includes numerous players who have achieved their goal of playing at the next level. The Club has supported the development of several players who have competed at the youth national team level and most members have aspirations to play at collegiate-level soccer.
The Club has graduated over of 500 student-athletes, both boys and girls, and nearly 450 of them have gone on to play collegiately. Of those graduates, over 100 of them have played at the NCAA Division I level. In addition, over 50 of our proud alumni have captained their collegiate sides.
For many graduates, their BWP Albany experience created collegiate opportunities that their academic record would not have on its own. We are extremely proud of our alumni as well as all of our current members who are training and competing daily to improve their personal performance and trajectory within soccer.
At BWP Albany, our mission is to develop youth soccer players who are strong and resilient in character, technically and tactically proficient; physically able to meet the demands of the modern game of soccer through a professional environment that is rich with technical instructors and mentors, highly motivated youth players, supportive families, maintains routine and rigorous training, and competitive contests.
The growth and development of these players is supported by the Club's technical staff, which is comprised of professional staff coaches; National Staff members; collegiate coaches; and nationally-licensed youth coaches. The BWP Albany technical staff creates and maintains the environment for players to be tested, prodded, assessed, trained, and re-tested over and over again in a variety of playing formats.
WHY CHOOSE BLACK WATCH PREMIER ALBANY?
Black Watch Albany offers the best soccer training program in the Capital Region.
Black Watch coaches provide the experience, the leadership, and the expertise to develop high level skill and character of young athletes.
We instill a passion and joy for the game in each of our players.
We pride ourselves in being "player-centric" in our methodology and daily practices administratively.
The Club's technical program tries to create a learning environment for its players.
Creating an environment where winning is not the priority at the developmental phases (U6-U14),
yet understanding why and how to play successful, competitive soccer depending on the game's situations.
As we move players forward in their development, at the older ages (U15-U19), winning does become more of a priority
and ultimately a measured outcome. Learning takes time with intervention along the way.
We embrace failure and desire it through competition because it gives authentic
information in which we create training environments.
Over the course of 23 years of operation, the Club has developed programming for youth of both genders, ages 6-23 years old.
This programming is fluid and ever-changing, allowing the Club to meet the demands of the modern game of soccer.
Through technical review by our Club's technical leadership team, ongoing professional development
and daily experience in the soccer landscape, the entirety of the technical staff is constantly evaluating
and re-evaluating Club best practices to enhance the overall training as well as match environments.

Residents calling for extra road as plans for 149 homes are submitted
Residents have hit out at plans to build almost 150 new homes in Castleford which will see their street used as the only entrance onto the site.
The homes have been earmarked for the old Castleford, Normanton and District Hospital off Lumley Street, with two applications submitted in recent weeks.
The old hospital site.
But since the plans were first mooted two years ago, those living on Lumley Street have argued that the only proposed entrance for the new housing site onto the road will only create traffic chaos.
They are now calling for some of the proposed land to be used to create a road behind the existing Lumley Street houses that back onto the site.
Resident Joanna Williams, who first raised concerns in 2015 when an initial set of plans for 100 houses were submitted, said: "Parking is a nightmare anyway, so if they moved the houses and put an extra road in, it would make sense.
"They estimate there will be less traffic with nearly 150 homes but we can't believe that - in this day and age there will be a car for house at least, and there will be only one way in.
"In reality, we know it will be housing development, but we need support to get this road at the back."
The hospital site, which only closed a few weeks back has been used for offices in recent years and Persimmon Homes are proposing to build 149 two-to-four-bedroom homes.
People are being urged to have their say on the plans and should log onto www.wakefield.gov.uk/residents/planning and search for the applications 17/01065 and 17/01066.
Meanwhile, a meeting will be held at the Black Bull pub on Tuesday, May 30, at the Black Bull pub on Lumley Street, at 7pm, for anyone wanting to add their support.
There will also be a petition to sign on the night.

"To Have A Chance At Greatness, You Need Great Work Ethics, Passion, Skill, Talent And A Desire To Want It More Than The Next Person." - Randy Smith
THE MAN BEHIND BODYSMITH
Native from Jamaica, I came to Canada in January of 1971. A few days after I had landed I saw my first ever NHL game; Toronto Maple Leafs vs. the California Golden Seal. I instantly fell in love with the game and wanted to learn to skate so I could play hockey!
That summer I was enrolled in power skating and was taught by the NHL referee John Damico, it was hard but loved the challenge! I started off playing in house league in the winter and a year later I went back to power skating with John and by next season played SHA for Wexford.
My family and I later moved to the town of Newmarket, north of Toronto, in 1975 where I played AAA hockey for Newmarket. At the end of my first year in Midget AAA hockey I made the decision to stop hockey and follow another passion, basketball. I practiced basketball extensively, to the point where from grade 9 to 13, I was a York Region all-star each year and by grade 13 I was offered a basketball scholarship to Division 1 Niagara State Purple Eagles. Due to circumstances, I had to de-commit my scholarship. I am not one to sit and worry about what might have been, instead I poured myself into another sport, football, and excelled in the game.
In 1981, I went on to play football for the Seneca Braves Football team. From '81 to '83 our team won the Ontario and Canadian Football Championships. I had also spent time training for track and field. I trained at the University Of Toronto Track Club. The track club was ran by Andy Higgins who at the time was one of Canada's Olympic track coaches and head track coach at the University of Toronto. On staff was jumping coach Zulton who I spent a lot of time with, learning how to be a good long and triple jumper. During this time, I learned a lot about training and preparation for track from two of the best coaches Canada had at the time. It's this early commitment to sports, playing, and being coached at such a high level that allowed me to train and coach my clients to the successes that they have achieved year after year!

"Fratelli tutti": an invitation to act now for a post-pandemic world
Pope Francis' encyclical letter "Fratelli tutti" provided the inspiration and the themes for reflection at an on-line seminar organized by The Pontifical Lateran University.
By Vatican News staff writer
Fratelli tutti: an encyclical for beyond the time of crisis is the loose translation of the title of a webinar aiming to define the foundations upon which to build a future that is more peaceful and just.
Pope Francis's encyclical letter on Fraternity and Social Friendship not only emphasizes that in our common home we all live as one family, it also proposes concrete actions to restore the world and overcome the ills generated by the pandemic crisis, which has now become a health, economic, social and political one.
Commitment of people and institutions
Proposing universal fraternity and solidarity as the only ways with which to build a better, more just and peaceful world, the Pope asks for the commitment of all: people and institutions.
Pope signs new Encyclical "Fratelli tutti" on St Francis's tomb in Assisi
That's why one key participant at the webinar on Wednesday was Msgr Fernando Chica Arellano, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to three important UN agencies for development: the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the World Food Programme.
Moderated by the coordinator of the Rome Forum of Catholic-inspired NGOs, the on line discussion included interventions by Cardinal Ayuso, President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the FAO's chief economist and Sr Alessandra Smerilli, an expert in economy and social sciences and Professor at the Pontifical Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University Auxilium.
Cardinal De Donatis' invitation
Introducing the panel discussion was Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, Cardinal Vicar of the Archbasilica of St John Lateran and Grand Chancellor of the Pontifical Lateran University. He focused his intervention on the Pope's invitation to strive to go beyond this crisis with discernment, hope and courage.
Cardinal De Donatis recalled the words proffered by Pope Francis when he addressed the world during the Extraordinary Moment of Prayer on 27 March last, in the pouring rain in an empty St. Peter's Square: "our eyes were turned to the Crucifix of St. Marcello, whose face, wet with rain, seemed to weep tears of compassion before the pain of wounded humanity."
"On that occasion," he said, "the Pope's message resounded loudly," reminding us that we are all in the same boat, fragile and disorientated, and called to row together."
The Pope told us, the Cardinal said, that we could not go forward on our own, but only together, weathering "the unexpected storm of the pandemic that is still shaking our lives" and that has brought to light that common belonging from which there is no escape.
Only recognizing each other as brothers and sisters, he added, can we start anew, affirming the dignity of every human person, and walking together in hope.
Hope, he continued, will allow us to see beyond the pandemic, beyond fear and discouragement; it will help us overcome the temptation to invest in small and self-centred comforts and be open to the great ideals that make life more beautiful and the world more just.
'Dare dream together'
Quoting paragraph 8 of Fratelli tutti, Cardinal De Donatis invited us to heed the Pope's words regarding fraternity between all men and women: "Here we have a splendid secret that shows us how to dream and to turn our life into a wonderful adventure. No one can face life in isolation… We need a community that supports and helps us, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead. How important it is to dream together… By ourselves, we risk seeing mirages, things that are not there. Dreams, on the other hand, are built together."
At this time, he concluded, in the knowledge that dreams are built together, we must not be afraid to do just that!

Lifeboat showcases refugees desperate enough to risk their lives in rubber boats leaving Libya in the middle of the night, despite a high probability of drowning. With few resources but certain that civil society must intervene, volunteers from a German non-profit risk the waves of the Mediterranean to pluck refugees from sinking rafts.
In a political environment increasingly hostile to immigrants and refugees, documenting and showcasing the real-life predicament of those fleeing war and oppression is more vital and important than ever. In a real-life context with dire consequences, Lifeboat puts a human face on one of the world's greatest contemporary, global crises and provides a spark of hope surrounding how civil society can intervene in the refugee crisis in a meaningful way.

"There is a beauty to the composition of shots in Lifeboat—the tranquil yet menacing waters; a boat full of refugees in the distance, neatly framed by the railings of the Sea-Watch; the wails of anguished women as they are ferried to the rescue ship." - IDA Review
"'Lifeboat' captures, up close, the experience of motoring out, encountering vessels packed with migrants, distributing life jackets, helping migrants aboard, and providing them with medical care, water, and space to rest before transferring them to boats bound for Europe. Once you see it, you won't forget it." - The New Yorker

85,000-Year-Old Footprints Uncovered In Saudi Arabia Record Early Human Migration
May 15 2018, 14:42 UTC
While today much of Saudi Arabia looks inhospitable, thousands of years ago it was flourishing. hanohiki/Shutterstock
Another piece has been added to the puzzle of modern humans' great migration out of Africa, as researchers have uncovered a set of 85,000-year-old human footprints in Saudi Arabia.
This joins the earlier discovery of a modern human finger bone from the same region dating to roughly the same time, indicating that our ancestors were clearly maintaining a foothold in the Middle East tens of thousands of years earlier than was once thought.
Discovered in the northwestern region of the country, the find was announced this week by the president of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage, Prince Sultan bin Salman, during a visit to the National Museum of Tokyo where he is opening a new exhibition highlighting some of the extraordinary and internationally significant human artifacts unearthed in the Kingdom.
Researchers are still analyzing the footprints, which according to reports show multiple individuals dispersing in different directions, and plan on publishing their results, including a final estimate of their age, in the coming months.
At the time that our ancestors would have been making a living here, Saudi Arabia would have been unrecognizable. Today much of it might be a desert in which only the toughest can stick it out, but back when these footprints were formed the people who left them would have been wandering across the soft mud of a lake bed.
This lush environment would have been teeming life. Grasslands flourished around the wetlands, and grazing animals such as kudu, African wild asses, and the now extinct auroch would likely have provided ample prey for the humans to hunt, alongside lions, leopards, and hyena that would have also been attracted by the herbivores.
It is thought that this would have provided an ideal springboard for modern humans to finally make a successful exit out of the African continent. It is also where we most probably first bumped into our Neanderthal cousins, who would have been stalking the plains for the exact same reason our ancestors settled there.
While it is now known that our ancestors evolved in Africa at least 300,000 years ago, and likely in multiple pockets spread across the continent, discerning when exactly we colonized the rest of the world has been tricky. It was originally thought that modern humans migrated out around 60,000 years ago, but over the last few years, this theory has rapidly been eroded.
Artifacts discovered in Australia dating to 65,000 years old imply that we left Africa at a much earlier date, while a modern human jawbone uncovered in Israel dating to 120,000 years old adds weight to this. Whether or not these early excursions from Africa were successful or not is still to be figured out, but what is certain is that we were pushing the boundaries and exploring far earlier than thought.

Plus Icon Buyer Jenn Im
Plus Icon Location Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, Calif.
Plus Icon Lot Size .16-acre
After years spent living on the hipster-chic Eastside of Los Angeles, longtime internet celebrity Jennifer "Jenn" Im is relocating to a more family-friendly area of town. The fashion/beauty YouTuber and her husband Ben Joliffe, an English former alt-rock drummer, have paid $2.7 million — a whopping $211,000 over the asking price, indicating there was some stiff competition — for an all-new house in the San Fernando Valley's leafy Sherman Oaks neighborhood. Simultaneously, Im has also punted her current Silver Lake home onto the market, where it's now available with a $1.375 million pricetag.
Im, who was born and raised primarily in the L.A. suburb of Hacienda Heights to Korean immigrants, began vlogging more than a decade ago and has since amassed a substantial fanbase, with nearly three million subscribers and upwards of 300 million views on her YouTube channel. Her influencer status has led to collabs with big-name brands — Calvin Klein, ColourPop, Revolve, and many more — and her own fashion line, Eggie, which debuted in 2017.
Built in the ever-trendy modern farmhouse architectural style and completed this year, Im's new Sherman Oaks pad is a nearly 3,800-square-foot structure described in listing materials as "showstopping," with a "striking exterior." Behind the two-tone façade are five beds and 6.5 baths, all of them tied together via an open floorplan lined with wide-plank oak flooring, brass fixtures, and wood-beamed ceilings. A wee covered front porch overlooks the pancake-flat front lawn, and there's an attached two car garage behind a black door.

A: It appears ActionBarDrawerToggle expects the drawer to be on the same side as the icon. It tries to open the drawer with GRAVITY_START (resolves to left in LTR layouts, right in RTL layouts).
You could copy the source of ActionBarDrawerToggle code and provide a way to specify which side the drawer is on when you construct it, and then use yours instead of the standard one. Other than that, I'm not sure how best to work around this since the method being called is private.

Sex and the City Is Coming Back, but It's Not What You Think
Will the cosmo make a cameo?
By Christopher Luu
Updated Mar 27, 2019 @ 9:15 pm
Sarah Jessica Parker put an end to those Sex and the City 3 rumors, but that doesn't mean that there's no hope for die-hard fans of the franchise. Thanks to Candace Bushnell, the author behind the book that started it all, it looks like something akin to SATC is on its way to our TVs. According to E!, the author landed a contract for her newest book, Is There Still Sex in the City?, to be made into a TV show with Paramount Television and Anonymous Content.
"The original Sex and the City book and series served as a groundbreaking touchstone for an entire generation of women, myself included," Nicole Clemens, president of Paramount TV, said in a statement. "We're thrilled to be able to continue that conversation from the underrepresented point of view of women in their 50s and answer the question with, 'Yes! There is more sex in the city!'"

The new show, won't necessarily involve Carrie and Co. Instead, it'll look at what friendship, dating life, and relationships are like after 50. No, it's not exactly what fans may have been looking for, and yes, we can all hope that it blends everyone's favorite girl squad with everyone's other favorite girl squad, the Golden Girls, but nobody knows what's certain other than Bushnell herself. The new book doesn't hit shelves until August, so we'll have to wait until then to see if anyone from the beloved HBO series makes a surprise return. E! adds that Bushnell will write the pilot and executive produce the new show.
"It didn't used to be this way. At one time, 50-something meant the beginning of retirement — working less, spending more time on your hobbies, with your friends, who like you were sliding into a more leisurely lifestyle. In short, retirement age folks weren't meant to do much of anything but get older and a bit heavier. They weren't expected to exercise, start new business ventures, move to a different state, have casual sex with strangers, and start all over again," Bushnell said in a statement. "But this is exactly what the lives of a lot of 50 and 60-something women look like today and I'm thrilled to be reflecting the rich, complexity of their reality on the page and now on the screen."

During SATC's original run, there was no Tinder, so Bushnell has plenty to mine for the new show. She explains that the new book will take a close look at the dating habits of middle-aged men and women, which is a very different direction than the last SATC spin-off, The Carrie Diaries. That series was aimed at teenagers, airing on the CW and focusing on Carrie Bradshaw's life pre-cosmopolitans. E! also adds that there's no planned premiere date for Is There Still Sex in the City?, so fans may have to wait a while before getting their fix.

Naomi On Her Current Position In WWE: "I Would Like To Hold Some Gold Again At Some Point"
WWE star Naomi was a recent guest on the Sippin the Tea show to talk all things pro-wrestling. Highlights from the interview are below.
On wanting to be champion again and direction for her character:
There's a lot happening in the division right now. I definitely would like to hold some gold again at some point but, I don't think that time is now. I definitely just want to be in a good feud and a good story and stay consistently on TV and see where that goes because the last year, I've been kind of all over the place. I was gone for a while due to all kind of family issues and health issues and it's kinda been hard for me to get back on track so I just really wanna focus on that and wherever that takes me in the next couple of years, I'm just gonna ride it and see what happens and see where my creativity and character goes because I still feel like there's room there. There's still so much for me to explore as far as character development and involvement and so I'd really like to focus on that and then eventually go and have me about 15, 11 children. And just enjoy life and appreciate the time we have here on this earth.
Dealing with 2020 and the number of tragedies in her life:
2020 has more than any other year just really, I think made us all sit down and reflect and appreciate things that we take for granted. Our family has experienced a lot of death. We've had a tragic death a year for the past five years. So, it's just… losing someone is very traumatic emotionally and the fact that our family has been going through it and having to do funeral after funeral after funeral, it's just been a lot and it's really brought me closer to my family and makes me want to be there as much as possible so, I look forward to that but I ain't done yet.

The UN is Conquering America Through the Control of All Water
Alexander LightNovember 30, 2017
Do you remember when Detroit when bankrupt and former President Obama refused to intervene in order to help Americans in a beleaguered American city? This was both baffling and maddening to the American people.
After all, this "hope and change" President promised to fundamentally transform America. Little did we realize that the Detroit bankruptcy would open the floodgates to the total foreign control of American's most precious resource, namely water, where the UN has gained a significant foothold in Detroit and its influence is spreading across the country.
When Obama refused to help Detroit's bankruptcy and its ensuing water crisis, subsequent UN involvement was a portend of what was coming.
Today, we see California on the verge of extinction because of the effects of a profound water shortage and now a series of contrived fires in Northen California. Not to worry America, the United Nations has promised to intervene in all of America's coming water crises.
The U.N. High Commission on Human Rights special rapporteur on safe water and sanitation, Catarina de Albuquerque, is in possession of a mandate which dictates that it must directly intervene with the U.S. government, first in a confidential manner and then in a public manner.
This is why Obama did not help the people of Detroit, as he was helping the UN establish a foothold in the United States when it comesto the control of our water supply. It is interesting that Obama would bail out GM, but not its host city, Detroit. Now we know why.
The UN is interested in water, not automobiles, at least not in the present moment. Now the UN has turned its sights on California.
Detroit Is History and California Is Next
In previous article, I briefly touched upon the fact that California would experience a mass population exodus due to the artificially contrived water shortage. A few of the readers had trouble believing that the water situation was as grave as I stated in the previous article.
Here is a chart that counters these misguided beliefs as it depicts the severity of the California drought.
What if California could not produce food, what impact would that have on the nation?
California produces a sizable majority of American fruits, vegetables and nuts; 99 percent of walnuts, 97 percent of kiwis, 97 percent of plums, 95 percent of celery, 95 percent of garlic, 89 percent of cauliflower, 71 percent of spinach, and 69 percent of carrots and the list goes on and on. A lot of this is due to California's soil and climate.
"Lemon yields, for example, are more than 50 percent higher than neighboring states. California spinach yield per acre is 60 percent higher than the national average. Without California, supply of these products in our country and abroad would dip, and in the first few years, a few might be nearly impossible to find. Orchard-based products specifically, such as nuts and some fruits, would take many years to spring back.
"Soon, the effect on consumer prices would become attention-grabbing. Rising prices would force Americans to alter their diets. Grains are locked in a complicated price-dependent relationship with fresh fruits, vegetables and meats.
"When the price of produce increases, people eat more grain. When the price of grain rises, people eat more fruits and vegetables. (In fact, in some parts of the world, wheat and rice are the only "Giffen goods" – a product in which decreasing prices lead to decreasing demand.) Young people and the poor in America, more than others, eat less fresh fruit when prices rise".
The UN Has Private Partners In Its Thirst for Control Over All Water
The theft of American water has been ongoing for quite some time. The infamous corporate raider and robber baron of the oil industry, T. Boone Pickens, is leading the charge to unscrupulously enrich himself as he leads the globalist depopulation efforts to create a series of artificially contrived water shortages.
Pickens was one of the first to rush to capitalize on the impending water shortage by his insidious acquisition of the largest underground aquifer in the US, the Ogallala Aquifer, containing a quadrillion gallons of water, This massive underground reservoir extends from Texas to South Dakota.
In Roberts County, TX., Pickens has purchased nearly 70,000 acres, as well as the water rights to personally remove up to half of the Ogallala aquifer of which he plans to sell back to nearby residents in order to enrich himself. Much of this aquifer extends into prime farm land located in America's bread basket.
One man, T. Boone Pickens, is acquiring the ability to turn the American heartland into a dustbowl.
Pickens will soon have the political power to charge so much for water, that farmers will be forced to abandon their farms and ranches in a Hunger Games rendition in which government sponsored interests will eventually become the sole purveyor of the nation's food and water supply as the anti-humanist, Pickens, makes more money from water than he ever did with oil.
In order to acquire the water and expand his control over the Oglala Aquifer, Pickens needed more political power. In 2006, Pickens bought off the Texas State Legislature for $1.2 billion.
This purchase of water-related law making power has allowed Pickens the ability to do accomplish four goals:
(1) He created an eight-acre town and an accompanying local government, and subsequently made his tiny municipality into a powerful Water Supply District;
(2) As such, Pickens automatically acquired the right to issue tax-free bonds and thereby, giving himself the lucrative benefit of borrowing at a tremendous discount;
(3) Now operating as a public entity, Pickens is armed with the power of eminent domain which will allow him to expand his water acquisition potential in which he bullies local residents, along the aquifer, to sell their properties for pennies on the dollar;
(4) Pickens used his 1.2 billion dollar bribe money to get the Texas legislature to pay for a 250 foot wide water pipeline corridor all the way to Dallas where Pickens will make an estimated yearly profit of $165 million at taxpayer expense. Pickens has become the poster child for the phrase "crony capitalism."
Pickens told Business Week that he is only planning on selling surplus water, but according to the United Nations research and scientific studies report, nearly two-thirds of the entire population inhabiting the planet will face severe, life-threatening water shortages by the year 2025.
So, Mr. Pickens, what surplus could you be talking about? And you only thought you had to worry about Obama collapsing the economy through his socialist policies.
T. Boone Pickens' control over the water supplies through America's heartland is only the tip of proverbial iceberg.
Nestle is STILL Depleting the Great Lakes
There is a second front which is being used to create an artificial water shortage in the United States. Perrier, a subsidiary of the multi-national Nestle corporation, has invested heavily in Michigan and the Great Lakes.
Locked behind two sets of chain link fence, huge siphoning pumps are deliberately hidden from view in the forest. They are pumping the Great Lakes dry and shipping the water overseas. Much of the Great Lakes water is headed for China, filled in massive cargo bags which are pulled across the ocean by a large supertanker.
By using a gaping loophole in the 2006 Great Lakes Compact, Obama's appointees are allowing the Nestle Company to export precious fresh water out of Lake Michigan to the tune of an estimated $500,000 to $1.8 million per day profit.
Obama's Federal water managers are allowing the theft and subsequent export of our Great Lakes water out of our country across thousands of miles of oceans into the Asian basin plagued by huge population centers that are suffering from their constant lack of fresh water.
Nestle is not just taking water from the Great Lakes, they are contributing to the misery in California as Nestle is, today, in the midst of the California water crisis, draining California aquifers, from Sacramento alone taking 80 million gallons annually.
Nestle then sells the people's water back to them at a grealy inflated price and this is being done under dozens of brand names.
The Defense Intelligence Agency Warns the World
Even the Defense Intelligence Agency has clearly echoed the dire warnings of the United Nations report by stating that unstable water supplies will greatly impact all and water will subsequently be used as a weapon.
The DIA report evoked a reaction from former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton,just prior to leaving office as she commented that the DIA's findings are "sobering" and that as the world's population continues to expand, the demand for water will increase but fresh water supplies will not keep pace and by the year 2025, the world will face catclysmic and very deadly water shortages.
In yesterday's article, I made the point that the technology exists to artifically create droughts as I revealed the series of Air Force documents known as "Air Force Owning the Weather 2025."
Why is the year, 2025, figure so prominently into the dire forecasts of the globalists? I almost forgot that the CIA front group, Deagel, forecasted America's population would slip to 65 million by the year 2025. My oh my, it is just raining coincidences.
I have written many articles about how past despots have used water and food as a weapon. If one controls water, one will control food.
The United Nations, through The U.N. High Commission on Human Rights special rapporteur on safe water and sanitation, Catarina de Albuquerque, has asserted its authority under the guise of protecting human rights to assume control of an area which has severe water issues.
Will Americans, one day, be forced to enter a camp to receive life-sustaining supplies?
At the end of the day, someone thinks that California will be abandoned. Consider what is happening with California's U-Haul prices:
"U-Haul Prices 6/18/15:
Denver to Los Angeles = $985
Los Angeles to Denver = $2,273
Difference: $1,288
Atlanta to Los Angeles: $1,112
Los Angeles to Atlanta: $3,582!!!
Difference: $2,470″
Somebody knows something. But apparently, Obama does not know enough because Time Magazine reported that he will golf Saturday on a lush, green course in California later today.
Nero may have fiddled while Rome burned. And it could be said that Obama golfed while America burned. This is a lot of coincidences to have been complied inside of only one article.

Today we welcome award-winning author Jean Fullerton, whose latest novel Fetch Nurse Connie was published yesterday.
Hi, Thanks Elaine and Francesca for inviting me to be a guest on the WriteMindsWritePlace Blog.
For those of you who don't know me I was born within the sound of Bow Bells in Whitechapel – Jack the Ripper country – and I absolutely adore my birth place of East London. My family has lived in the area since the 1820s. I use real East London locations and have my characters walking past actual shops and houses that once existed. I have also drawn on my family for many of my stories, such as the charity school, public houses and market.
I'm a qualified District Nurse and now teach nursing studies at a London University. I live with my hero of thirty-eight years just outside London in Epping Forest and have three grown-up daughters.
Unlike many of my fellow authors I am a relative latecomer to writing. In fact, I didn't know I could write until I was sent on an NHS stress management course – yes, fact can be stranger than fiction.
I thought it was just a hobby until I got my first Romantic Novelist Association New Writers' Scheme report back. It said I had what it took to be a published novelist because I wrote pacey stories with believable characters and sharp dialogue. Of course my reader also said I didn't know the first thing about story structure, punctuation or presentation.
It was then I knew I had to write but it took 5 years of learning my craft before I finally got my big break.
I'll continue to write until they prise the keyboard out from under my cold dead hand.
How long does it take you to complete a manuscript?
My novels are somewhere around the 135,000 word mark so the first draft takes me 5 months to pull together then a month re-working it before it goes off to my agent. She has been in publishing for a long time. Firstly, she was an editor with HarperCollins, Heinemann and Penguin before moving into being an agent so she always gives me insightful comments. Having incorporated those, in another month or so I'm happy to send the manuscript off to my publisher. So all in all from typing 'Chapter one' until hitting the send button to Orion is about 9-10 months, after which I collapse in a heap on my desk.
I'm dyslexic and when I went to school (at about the time when the Beatles were tripping off to India) the condition wasn't recognised so English was always tortuous.
As a teenager I consumed Historical fiction of all kinds and I'd thought over the years that one day I'd write a historical novel. To my utter amazement a story tumbled out and after three months I had a 90,000 word manuscript and another story screaming to be told.
After writing over a 1,000,000 words my eleventh book, No Cure for Love, won the Harry Bowling Prize in 2006. I signed with my lovely agent, Laura and was offered my first two-book contract with Orion Publishing.
My first four novels were set during the Victorian era but my latest series featuring Nurse Millie Sullivan and her friend Nurse Connie Byrne are set in post-war East London. They are nurses in the pre-NHS St Dustan and St George's Nursing Association.
Although the Nurse Millie and Connie books are stand-alone novels they have some of the same characters. How do you ensure your story lines don't contradict each other?
It's not easy and sometimes I end up flipping through my own book to find an answer. I have a plot grid of all my books with a timeline and notes as you can see below and I have that to hand.
2 Gets back & has to take over as the superintendent is drunk.
5 Calls her Aunt Ruby. King at 9pm?
If you could give one piece of advice to budding authors what would it be?
Firstly, if it took me three years to become a nurse, another two to qualify as a district nurse and a further three to become a lecturer so why on earth would I think I could learn the craft of writing overnight? Very few first books are of a publishable standard. Mine wasn't. Learn your craft!
Secondly, Write what you love. If you're chasing a bandwagon by the time you've jumped on its left town.
And lastly persevere. Getting published is a long, hard road but you'll never succeed unless you stick with it.
Thank you, Jean, it's been lovely talking to you, as always.
Available from Orion Fiction on Kindle, paperback and hardback on 4th June 2015.
You know, after interviewing and reading Wendy Clark's blog post last week, it got me thinking about how my life has changed in the last three years.
Three years ago I was writing for my own pleasure, with no expectations of really being published. Then my son had a very, very long telephone conversation with Mr Everest, husband of Elaine Everest who is the proprietor of The Write Place. I was duly sent along a couple of weeks later, terrified of mixing with people who had short stories published and were actively working on novels. I was like a fish out of water, they read their work out and they were all so talented. The physical feeling of nausea was real. For all of that, I survived!
With Elaine's and other class member's guidance, I have had more experiences than I knew existed. I attended the Discovery Day held at Foyles in London, another terrifying experience, pitching my novel to an agent in thirty seconds. I joined the Romantic Novelist Association (RNA) two years ago and have enjoyed everything that goes with that. The New Writer's Scheme (NWS) and the critique that comes with it is worth its weight in gold. Attending the conference, with the talks, workshops and industry one to ones is a real experience, one I would highly recommend.
While I'm working on my third novel, the first may never see the light of day and my second is out with publishers, I have had many short stories published at home and abroad.
Has my life changed in the last three years? Yes it most definitely has. I haven't given up my day job, the mortgage won't allow that, but I eat, sleep and breathe writing. I take it very seriously. My novel writing is no longer just for me, I want to be published and I want to write for a living. To earn a living doing something you enjoy must be wonderful.
My son pushed me, Elaine and her students welcomed and encouraged me and there is no doubt in my mind that I would never have had the achievements, or the experiences that I've had, without them. I have a lot to be thankful for. That one phone call changed everything for me.
If there is something you want to achieve, bite the bullet and put yourself out there. With the Internet these days, you can find anything in minutes, so ask yourself is there anything you'd like to do. Yes it's terrifying, but mixing with people that want to achieve the same as you is a wonderful feeling. We all need encouragement. Take the first steps and make that phone call, then the rest is up to you.

Don't try to find me, Holly Brown
The Resource Don't try to find me, Holly Brown
The item Don't try to find me, Holly Brown represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Pekin Public Library.
Brown, Holly, 1974-
"When a fourteen-year-old runs away, her parents turn to social media to find her--launching a public campaign that will expose their darkest secrets and change their family forever, in this suspenseful and gripping debut for fans of Reconstructing Amelia and Gone Girl. Don't try to find me. Though the message on the kitchen white board is written in Marley's hand, her mother Rachel knows there has to be some other explanation. Marley would never run away. As the days pass and it sinks in that the impossible has occurred, Rachel and her husband Paul are informed that the police have "limited resources." If they want their fourteen-year-old daughter back, they will have to find her themselves. Desperation becomes determination when Paul turns to Facebook and Twitter, and launches FindMarley.com. But Marley isn't the only one with secrets. With public exposure comes scrutiny, and when Rachel blows a television interview, the dirty speculation begins. Now, the blogosphere is convinced Rachel is hiding something. It's not what they think; Rachel would never hurt Marley. Not intentionally, anyway. But when it's discovered that she's lied, even to the police, the devoted mother becomes a suspect in Marley's disappearance. Is Marley out there somewhere, watching it all happen, or is the truth something far worse? "--

Backward Sprinting and Sports Performance, Blog Entry by NASEinc - The National Association of Speed and Explosion (NASE) Inc.
Performance in numerous sports such as football, basketball, soccer, field hockey, rugby, lacrosse, tennis and others can be enhanced by incorporating backward sprinting into the regular training sessions both in-season and off-season. Although backward sprinting for short distances is commonly required in various sports, training to improve movement efficiency and the speed-strength of the specific muscles involved is quite uncommon.

The Ringer Purchased by Spotify As Streaming Giant Seeks to Expand Its Podcasting Imprint
Nearly a decade after creating Grantland, and less than half that after starting The Ringer, sports media mogul Bill Simmons may be on to his next project after selling his most recent creation to the streaming giant Spotify.
News of the sale broke on February 5th, but it is the fourth major podcasting network scooped up by the streaming service, which spent nearly $400 million dollars to purchase Anchor, Gimlet and Parcast in 2019.
The Ringer was targeted for the boost they can provide Spotify in the highly-popular sports podcasting niche, though the pop-culture-related media and all 90 employees of The Ringer will reportedly be kept on, with the website and its text content to continue as usual.
In an investor call on Saturday, Hollywood Reporter's Natalie Jarvey reports Spotify CEO Daniel Ek as saying, "I think we bought the next ESPN", noting the loyalty of the imprint's audience as a major boon to the company going forward.
"With this acquisition, Spotify continues to deliver against its goal to become the world's leading audio platform," the streaming giant said. "We look forward to putting the full power of Spotify behind The Ringer as they drive our global sports strategy."
With the move, the company adds The Ringer's podcast network of over 30 shows in addition to the text and video content available on the website. Spotify had 124 million paying subscribers and 271 million overall users to close 2019, and this move should push those figures even higher.
All content from The Ringer will continue to be free to access at this time, though it's not impossible that could change in the future.
With the success of subscription-based Sports print media seen in organizations like The Athletic, and the growth of subscription-based podcasting as can be found on the Spotify-owned network Luminary, some of the best sports print and audio media may be headed behind paywalls in a not-too-distant future.
On one hand, the success of the model will help bankroll a new iteration of quality sports journalism and analysis sorely lacking in a click-driven ecosphere that is the contemporary sports media status quo. On the other, tiered access to the most timely and well-produced content could also potentially further degrade the overall quality of mass media content circulating among those unwilling or unable to manage multiple subscription-based services.
Whatever becomes of the move, if nothing else, it highlights the growing popularity of sports podcasts and podcasts more generally as a form of popular media. And with a giant like Spotify getting behind the trend early, we could be seeing a pivot toward audio unlike anything since the early days of radio broadcasting.
