Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has revealed that his side are set for a busy January transfer window, with plans already being put in place for the window.
At former club Brentford, Smith's recruitment was top notch, bringing in young talents from lower leagues and turning them into dangerous Championship quality players. Smith brought in Bees' star man Ollie Watkins from League Two side Exeter City, and he isn't the only example of one of Brentford's smart buys under Smith, Left-back Rico Henry and midfielder Romaine Sawyers were both bought in from Walsall, along with 'keeper Daniel Bentley who joined from Southend United in 2016.
The reveal of plans for a busy January transfer window are a reason for excitement at Villa Park as Smith lines up new faces.
"We're going to be looking in the January market for a number of players," Smith told the Birmingham Mail.
"Between myself, Suso and Christian we have got our heads together and have a plan. We'll be having further recruitment meetings in the next week or two.
"You don't get to January 1st and think 'what do we do now'.
While looking at bringing in new players, Smith hasn't ruled out the possibility of bringing some of Villa's loaned out players back to Villa Park. The likes of defensive duo Tommy Elphick and Mitch Clark could have their recall options triggered when the window opens.
"We're aware of all the players out on loan," Smith added.
"Richard and JT have touched base with every player out on loan. Richard went to watch Mitch Clark last Saturday. He also went to watch Tommy play at Hull against Bristol City.

Q: Composition of Reflection Is a Rotation? Prove that if $T_{1},T_{2}$ are reflections in lines through O then $T_{1}\circ T_{2}$ is a rotation about O.
Once again, a hint would be preferable to an answer. I'm not familiar with these types of linear transformations, as I am not accustomed to thinking of them as functions. Thanks in advance for everyone who answers.

A: Since you requested a hint, go ahead and think of the transformations as matrices, and treat composition as multiplication. Otherwise, think about how reflection changes chirality, but two reflections would leave chirality unchanged.

Corporate sustainability and risk management
The effect of the UK minimum wage on prices
In the past few years, environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations have emerged as an integral part of the decision-making process of investors, managers, and policymakers. The UK government has placed ESG investing amongst the central pillars of its Green Finance Strategy.
The aim of this project is to accurately measure firms' attitudes towards green investment and sustainable finance, and the associated impact on their corporate outcomes. We will further try to understand the driving factors of certain corporate sustainability attitudes and how the materiality concept can be integrated to improve long-run performance and risk management.
This project relates to the Sustainable Futures pathway as part of the South West Doctoral Training Partnership (SWDTP).
Dr Stylianos Asimakopoulos
For an informal discussion about this area of research contact s.asimakopoulos@bath.ac.uk
In his 2021 Budget, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that the National Living Wage would rise by 59p on 1 April 2022. This is the largest single increase in the history of the UK minimum wage.
There is a consensus among researchers that the minimum wage has not had a significant effect on employment levels in the UK, raising questions about how firms are able to accommodate the cost increases it creates.
US evidence suggests that some firms are able to pass on almost all of the costs associated with the minimum wage to consumers in the form of higher prices. However, researchers have not examined this possibility in the UK.
This project will use menu prices from a large UK pub chain to examine whether the 2022 minimum wage hike raises prices, and how this varies across high-wage and low-wage locations and across labour-intensive and non-labour-intensive items on the menu.
The results of the study could help policymakers as they attempt to evaluate the effects of future minimum wage increases on the labour market and the wider economy.

Gay Refugees From ISIS
If caught by jihadis, Syrian gays may be thrown from rooftops, or ransomed. And many live in fear of their own families. But Lebanon's not the safe haven they hoped.
Amélie Zaccour
Updated 04.14.17 11:56AM ET / Published 03.30.15 5:22AM ET
Stringer/Reuters,© Stringer . / Reuters
BEIRUT — Two young men we'll call Karim and Tareq were walking through the streets of Raqqa, Syria, in September 2013 on their second date. They'd just been to a good restaurant, and Karim was excited as Tareq was about to introduce him to his friends. But the night quickly turned ugly when five strangers showed up, put a sack over Karim's head, gagged him, and drove him to an unknown location. Nobody touched Tareq, and later, from his cell, Karim heard his captors and Tareq talk about ransoming him to his family.
Tareq had been posing as a gay man but working with a group linked to Jabhat al Nusra, according to Karim, in order to entrap homosexuals, a not uncommon practice in war-torn Syria. Al Nusra, the anti-Assad militia most closely associated with al Qaeda, had picked up one of Karim's friends and got a list of numbers from his phone to track down other gay people.
While Karim was being held, his captors kept shouting, "Are you with the regime?" And he kept telling them, "No." They asked if that was the last thing he had to say and threatened him with a sword. Karim demanded to know the real reason behind his imminent execution. Finally, there it was: "Because you are gay," they answered.
After two weeks of negotiations with Karim's family and a ransom payment, he was released and he has since come to Lebanon, thankful he's still alive. Many have not been so lucky.
Sometimes, Jabhat al Nusra and the rival extremists of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) are simply in search of cash, as was the case of Karim. He said ISIS demands ransom of up to $11,000. But a recent video that went viral on social media showed ISIS throwing gays from the roof of a building in Raqqa. "Before [the war], if the [Assad] regime caught you as a gay, you would give them money and they'd leave you alone," says Karim. "Today, if jihadis catch you, they kill you."
Until his arrest, only Karim's nuclear family knew about his homosexuality, which they kept secret to preserve their reputation. But rumors of his detention spread quickly, and many people in Raqqa became aware that he was gay.
Then, in December 2013, one of Karim's relatives became an important member of ISIS's intelligence apparatus. One day, as Karim came back to his house, he found the whole place turned upside down. "ISIS is looking for you," said the doorman. Karim hid at his neighbor's until his uncle picked him up and informed him that, in exchange for money, he managed to have Karim's name removed from ISIS's checkpoint lists for two hours. "You have to leave Raqqa right now," said the uncle.
Karim gathered his belongings and left Raqqa. "I felt like it was a bad dream, that the next week everything would go back to normal and I'd return home." But instead, Karim fled to Damascus and finally settled in Beirut in March 2014.
His friend, whom we'll call Mazen, joined Karim a few months later. Mazen asks to be called "Jenny" and be referred to as a "she." This 29-year-old transgender fled Mayadin, a city close to Deir Ez-Zor, in Syria's eastern provinces, in October 2014. Her uncle, a member of an ISIS sharia court, was given permission, because of his high status, to arrest her himself on charges of homosexual relations. The uncle's "extremism grew stronger after my boyfriend, who was captured by ISIS, confessed our relationship," says Jenny.
Jenny denied the relationship until her father and her uncle informed her that she would have to swear on the Quran and go through an anal test, a medical exam to see if it had been penetrated.
At that point, Jenny decided to tell her father that she had been raped. But when he heard the word "rape," Jenny's father started beating her with such fury that he fainted. As her uncle took her father to the hospital, Jenny decided the moment to escape had come. "Sometimes, life or death are a matter of 10 minutes," she said. She arrived in Damascus and called Karim, who welcomed her in Beirut.
Jenny thought she would find peace in Lebanon, but the Lebanese have rejected her due to her effeminate looks and body language, which might be tolerated in a native son or daughter, but not in a refugee. Once, in a shared taxi, in the trendy neighborhood of Badaro, a woman started blowing her cigarette's smoke on Jenny and hit her with her purse, calling her a "Syrian sissy." Jenny asked for help from the driver, who merely said, "Madam, please stop fighting." When Jenny asked him to stop so she could escape, he faked that he didn't hear her and kept driving.
"Lebanon is known as this modern Western-lifestyle-in-the-Arab-world country, so we thought we could live a normal life and be respected here," says Karim. "But we were shocked to find out how racist and close-minded people are." Karim also was beaten and had his nose broken by a group of men in Achrafieh, an upscale, predominantly Christian area of Beirut. He describes this type of violence and humiliation as "daily routine."
"As Syrians and gays, they are double refugees," says Bertho Makso from Proud Lebanon, an NGO helping mostly Syrian LGBT refugees. Resentment against Syrians, initially due to the regime's 30-year occupation of Lebanon, has grown with the refugee crisis and the fallout from the Syrian war. And to Makso, gay rights in Lebanon are "a mirage."
Despite relative tolerance from the authorities, who turn a blind eye to gay bars and clubs, his NGO reported numerous cases of arbitrary detention and "anal tests"—which the Lebanese Doctors Syndicate denounced as a form of torture. Lebanese law on gays is stated in Article 534, which prohibits having sexual relations that "contradict the laws of nature." Makso says that this "vague" text leaves matters open to interpretation, and thus enables authorities to persecute gays.
"Yes, you can be gay in Beirut, but as long as you don't make it public," says Makso. "And you should know that everything can fall apart at any time." For instance, Proud Lebanon is registered as a human rights organization, not as a gay rights one. They organize workshops, and provide legal, psychological and medical assistance—including HIV testing—at their headquarters, but cannot organize public events, such as a gay parade.
For Syrian gay refugees, Lebanon is only a transit point to Europe, North America, or Australia, where they can live their homosexuality without fear of arrest or, for that matter, of being tracked down by their families. UNHCR considers LGBT persons to be an "extremely vulnerable population" because, unlike other categories of refugees persecuted on ethnic or religious ground, they also fear persecution from their own communities, and sometimes even close family members.
Indeed, Proud Lebanon has reported several cases of Syrian families who came to Beirut to track down their gay relatives. Jenny's uncle vowed to find her even if she "moved to the moon." Karim likewise kept receiving threats a long time after moving to Beirut, including a message from his cousin in Raqqa, saying that he will "cut [his] head in such a way that [he] will beg him to finish as fast as possible."
Proud Lebanon has, since 2013, counted 216 LGBT Syrian refugees who have registered with the UNHCR; 60 of them have been resettled abroad so far. Along with many others, Karim and Jenny are waiting for what they call "the golden call," news their visas in Europe or the United States have been accepted.


At various times during the year, children are taken on outings to places of interest.
Such outings are normally connected with topic work to motivate children and to provide them with first-hand experience. A letter is issued giving full details and seeking parents' agreement well in advance. By signing and returning such letters, parents are indicating that teachers are 'in loco-parentis' (in place of the parent) and are thus empowered to act as responsible parents should any unforeseen emergency occur. Should you have worries concerning hospital treatment, injections etc, or are worried about matters appertaining to your child's welfare, parents should contact the school.
The current certificate issued by Hampshire Local Authority and giving details of insurance cover may be viewed at school.
The 1988 Education Act has made payment for educational visits in school time a matter for voluntary contribution. After much discussion, the governors have decided that parents will be invited to make voluntary contributions to allow such off site activities to continue. Anonymous financial assistance is always available to those in need and no child will be excluded on the grounds of inability to pay. Either write or talk to the Headteacher if this arises.


An activity for groups or families where one or two of their members have motor difficulties or visual problems and who wish to discover the fantastic setting of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
The activity combines hillwalking, culture, nature and history and can now be enjoyed by people with reduced mobility thanks to our support, using tools only available in the Basque Country.
We use Joëlette wheelchairs that open the way to places not previously accessible.
This is a unique opportunity for people with some kind of reduced mobility to enjoy one of the most emblematic spots in the Basque Country, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
We will overcome the obstacles to climb the 241 stairs. We will meet in the carpark of the Eneperi restaurant and, first of all making our way downwards, will then start the exiting climb up the stairs. From the top you will enjoy views of the coast and learn about the history of the little island and its hermitage.
A sympathetic, friendly, fun, accessible and inclusive experience.

Home What We Offer Individual Health Insurance New Hepatitis C Pill Offers Faster Cure With Far Fewer Side Effects
By IHS Insurance Individual Health Insurance June 29, 2015
Those suffering with hepatitis C, a disease which causes life threatening liver damage, now have a new treatment option with a new drug having been approved by the FDA which cures the disease. Grazoprevir/elbasvir, two drugs taken simultaneously over a 12-16 week period, often cures Hepatitis C in a significantly shorter amount of time and a higher rate of success than with former therapies. Other pharmacotherapy options have been available which cure the condition but most with damaging and severe side effects. The combination of interferon and ribavirin has been administered for some time in order to cure patients of hepatitis C, but requires a far longer treatment period than grazoprevir/elbasvir, sometimes several months to a year. Unfortunately, interferon and ribavirin are known for causing severe side effects such as severe pain, extreme nausea, anemia and debilitating depression often rendering patients bedridden during the long treatment process.
This new treatment option boasts a cure rate of 92-99 percent of patients treated, far above the success rates of former treatment methods. Among the greatest victories achieved by this new treatment option is the fact that those with hard-to-treat or late stage Hepatitis C have responded extremely well to the treatment with a 95% successful cure rate.
Three to five million Americans are said to have Hepatitis C, 75% of those being baby boomers. Hepatitis C is most often acquired through the transfer of bodily fluids, sharing needles, blood transfusion and getting a tatoo or piercing under unhygienic circumstances.
Grazoprevir/elbasvir has been designated as a "breakthrough therapy" for the time being, approved only to treat the most severe cases in order to further study the safety and effectiveness of the drug before completing a full release to the pharmaceutical market.

Yup, that's me. Our black cat named Two prefers my husband, Hank any day, any time, except when he's not around, of course. I've learned to accept it.
Actually, right now as I write this post, Two is sitting on my lap. It is morning. I am drinking coffee. Usually, Hank is sitting across the table with the cat on his lap, but he's away. So, I guess I'm good enough.
We found Two nearly ten years ago at the Taos Feral Feline Friends shelter run by Leanne Mitchell. Two wasn't feral, but declawed by a previous owner — a cruel thing to do to a cat — and relegated to the old and fat room. (There are no cages at this shelter, just rooms in the Mitchell home.) The cat came right up to me. I told Hank this is the one. He chose to look around a bit, a fact I remind the cat from time to time to no avail.
Leanne gave us a bit of the cat's history and also her real name, Dusty. We decided to name her Two because she reminded us of our two best cats, Amos and Lewis. Her full name is Dusty Two Cats.
Two settled in rather quickly. We discovered she is a talker. I'm not really nuts, but she can say, "no" and "I don't wanna" — Hank can't get her to say "yes" — and knows what "out" and "eat" means.
And she took to Hank, largely, I believe, because I was working and he was home. Also when he had surgery, she stuck to him like his little nurse.
Two and I have our things. She will go a bit nuts on me with play biting and swats when I rub her down. When we drove 2,400 miles from New Mexico to Western Massachusetts this summer, she was glued to my lap almost the entire trip. Of course, I make sure she has enough food and fresh water all the time. And right now, she's still on my lap.
But I've learned you can't make a cat do what she doesn't want to do. It's strictly on her terms.
But, no surprise here, she dumped me as soon as he returned. I wasn't hurt. It's just the way things are with this cat.
ONE MORE THING: Thanks to the owners and authors of Crooked Cat Publishing for making me feel most welcome. For this who missed the last post, Crooked Cat will be publishing my mystery, Chasing the Case in May or June. Yes, given this post, I recognize the irony in the publishing house's name.

Hollywood Socialism
Hollywood is now obsessing about increasing ethnic and gender diversity. Good. There's been nasty racial and gender discrimination in the movie business.
Unfortunately, Hollywood has no interest in one type of diversity: diversity of thought.
In most every movie, capitalism is evil.
Greedy miners want to kill nature-loving aliens in "Avatar." Director James Cameron says: "The mining company boss will be the villain again in several sequels. … Same guy. Same mother——er through all four movies."
One reviewer calls a scene in the recent "Star Wars" movie "a beautiful critique of unregulated capitalism."
"Unregulated capitalism" is such a stupid cliche. Markets are regulated by customers, who have choices; we routinely abandon suppliers who don't serve us well.
In the movie "In Time," rich people live forever by buying more time, which they hoard while arranging for higher prices so poor people die.
I guess rich movie people feel guilty about being rich.
In the new Amazon series "Jack Ryan," the hero asks a good question about Venezuela: "Why is this country in the midst of one of the greatest humanitarian crises in history?"
Because socialism ruined the country's economy! But no, that's not the answer Jack Ryan gives.
"Nationalist pride," not socialism, is named as the culprit — and the politician who will fix things is an activist running "on a social justice platform."
The producers reversed reality, portraying leftists as Venezuela's saviors rather than as the people who destroyed it.
Hollywood reserves praise for people who share their politics. A documentary about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is full of people gushing praise, calling her things like "the closest thing to a superhero."
"RBG" is a good documentary and Ginsburg is impressive. But so is Justice Clarence Thomas. Hollywood would never praise him like that.
Recently, my former bosses at ABC surprised me by interviewing Thomas. Promotion for the video suggests that they actually let Thomas speak, without sneering at him. Good. But I'm sure no one on the show will be allowed to call Thomas "a superhero."
Hollywood's love for the left frustrates actors who lean right. Most fear saying anything because they fear they'd lose work.
Actor Kevin Sorbo spoke out about his conservative views.
Then, recounts Sorbo in my video this week, "all of a sudden, less and less calls. My agent said we'd better part ways. And I made a lot of money for these guys!"
Sorbo says in Hollywood, being a conservative Christian is "like being a double leper."
He was even banned from a comic book convention.
"They're the ones who say, 'We need to be tolerant; we need to have love,'" observes Sorbo. But "they're the most anti-tolerant people… Every movie, every TV show … there's always some point, someplace, where they'll pretty much degrade anybody who's conservative or Republican."
When a Republican is shown — someone like president George W. Bush in 2018's "Vice" — Sorbo says, "They make him as dumb and as hick-y as possible."
Sorbo's also annoyed that movies like the latest "Ghostbusters" film shove women into what had been male parts. In the most recent "X-Men" movie, an actress says: "Women are always saving the men around here. You might want to think about changing the name to X-Women!"
"What's wrong with that?" I pushed back. I like watching female superheroes.
Sorbo replied, "It was created as 'X-Men.' We're in this business now of rewriting everything. … It's not even politically correct; it's politically insane."
Hollywood's recent movie about man's first trip to the moon chose to leave out the American flag. When asked about that, the film's star, Ryan Gosling, said, "This was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement."
"An American human achievement!" replies Sorbo.
Sorbo's response to Hollywood's rejection was to make his own movies. He says his Christian drama "God's Not Dead" cost $2 million to make but earned $140 million.
Other conservative and Christian movies have done well. Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" is America's highest-grossing R-rated film ever.
Those aren't my kind of movies, but I'm sure glad Hollywood doesn't have monopoly power.
Maybe competition will make Hollywood a little less narrow-minded.

Tom MacFadden says:
For the Hollywood Left, All Free Market is bad, except theirs, in addition all so called " assualt weapons" are bad except those kept in the homes of the Leftist Hollywood Elites( Phil Spector et Al) and the thousands of fully auto, truely military assault weapons kept in movie production Arsenal's.
They must be worshipers of Janus, the two faced Roman God, or perhaps the Church of Roman Polanski, former pedastric film director.

The Lions Club members in the company of the eye care beneficiaries.
ended with them being prescribed much needed spectacles. The examinations, which were all conducted at Lens Craft Optical, Croal Street, Georgetown, were funded by the Georgetown Stabroek Lion's Club.
Speaking to media operatives yesterday, Second-Term President of the Lions Club, Odessa DeBarros, said that on an annual basis in excess of $300,000 is budgeted to cater to such undertakings.
This is in light of the fact that the Club embraces the Lions International annual observance of "Eye Bank Month" each October. This month, according to DeBarros, is one in which persons requiring crucial eye-care are targeted for support.
And these persons, DeBarros said, could include members of the public as well as those from organisations particularly schools.
Moreover, assessments were conducted at two schools from which three children with the most severe cases of visionary challenges were identified. The children selected were Daniella Belgrave and Delon Browne of the David Rose School for the Handicapped and Jelani Armstrong of St. Stephen's Primary School.
According to DeBarros, while the children were some time ago prescribed spectacles, none of them were so outfitted.
While the need for spectacles was seen as a great need to aid the vision of the children, the worst case was however, that of Daniella's eyes. With squinting, watery eyes, she was the first to be examined by the attending Eye Doctor, Dr. Abby Sanchez. Teacher at the David Rose School and the Lions Club First Year Director, Jannel Bishop, recalled that Daniella lost her spectacles after an accident at school. It then became increasingly difficult for her to see.
Also witnessing the screening yesterday was the Lions Club Secretary, Miranda Marcus-Xavier who also teaches at the St. Stephen's Primary School.
And it was following a thorough examination of the child's eyes that the worst was discovered. Based on the doctor's observation both of the 11-year-old's eyes failed to develop properly. This, according to the doctor, resulted in the eye nerves becoming twisted.
Moreover, Dr. Sanchez said that not only would Daniella require a type of spectacles that would cost $150,000, but the child would also need constant eye drops that will attract a cost of approximately $45,000 monthly.
Daniella Belgrave being attended to by Dr. Abby Sanchez.
The two other children were thoroughly examined and were also found to be in dire need of spectacles.
"We thought it best to fill the gap here," said DeBarros as she noted that this undertaking is usually an annual feature that is done in collaboration with Lens Craft Optical.
The Lions Club of Stabroek has been in existence for 12 years and, according to DeBarros, each October spectacles are either donated to selected members of the public or to a particular organisation. Thus far, more than 200 children and adults have benefited from this project, the Lions Club President said.

100 funtów izraelskich 1971 Wypuść mój lud – izraelska moneta kolekcjonerska wybita w złocie w 1971 roku w celu uhonorowania Żydów w ZSRR. Monety z okresu funta zostały wycofane z obiegu w 1980 roku. Moneta wybita poza izraelskimi seriami monet kolekcjonerskich.

Opis monety
Po 1948 roku poparcie ZSRR dla Państwa Izrael zaczęło słabnąć. Władze radzieckie dążyły do przymusowej integracji Żydów ze społeczeństwem radzieckim. Przekładało się to również na stosunek do Zagłady. Sowieci traktowali zwycięstwo w II wojnie jako pokonanie nazizmu, który atakował cały lud pracujący, a nie tylko określone grupy społeczne lub narodowościowe. Ponadto Związek Radziecki zaczął wspierać państwa arabskie w konflikcie bliskowschodnim, co przekładało się na postawy antyżydowskie i antyizraelskie w ZSRR. Żydzi zamieszkujący ZSRR na fali zwycięstw Izraela w konfliktach z państwami arabskimi utożsamiali się coraz bardziej z Izraelem i jego kulturą. W rezultacie władze radzieckie zabraniały obywatelom pochodzenia żydowskiego na emigrację na Bliski Wschód i prześladowały lokalnych działaczy syjonistycznych. Moneta miała na celu uhonorowanie radzieckich Żydów, którzy ze względu na syjonizm byli prześladowani przez Sowietów.

Całość monety zaprojektowana przez Ja'akowa Cima. W porównaniu do monety srebrnej, złota posiada obrzeże dookoła.

Awers
W lewej, górnej części pola monety znajduje się herb Izraela. Po prawej, lekko w dół, nominał oraz nazwa waluty "100 לירות ישראליות" (100 funtów izraelskich). Po lewej od herbu, wzdłuż rantu, znajdują się nazwa państwa po angielsku, hebrajsku (ישראל) i arabsku (اسرائيل). Rok wybicia i emisji wg kalendarza żydowskiego oraz kalendarza gregoriańskiego "תשל"א 1971" znajdują się na lewo na skos pod nominałem. Na dole awersu widnieje znak mennicy "מ".

Rewers
Na rewersie przedstawiono słońce skryte za pionowymi pasami o nieregularnej grubości. Po prawej stronie słońca wybito hasła, jedno pod drugim, w języku hebrajskim - "שלח את עמי", i angielskim - "LET MY PEOPLE GO".

Cytat ten pojawia się w Biblii w Księdze Wyjścia, kiedy Mojżesz i Aaron spotkali się z faraonem, aby przekazać mu wiadomość od Boga:

Słowa "Let my people go" stały się mottem marszu solidarności z sowieckimi Żydami zorganizowanego w Stanach Zjednoczonych przez Natana Szaranskiego w 1987 roku. Zacytował je również prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych Ronald Reagan podczas rozmowy z Sekretarzem Generalnym KPZR Michaiłem Gorbaczowem, która miała dotyczyć sytuacji Żydów w ZSRR i zezwoleniu na ich emigrację.

Diana McLellan – The Girls – Sappho Goes to Hollywood
by amy · September 13, 2010
Author: Diana McLellan
Genre: /
My fascination with Greta Garbo made me pick up this book. Author Diana McLellan – a writer for the Washington Post, hence… journalist? – tells me she's written the book with accounts of stars' memoirs, FBI and CIA documents and everything in between and around the people involved in this book. However, I decided to read this from the point of view of a fan fiction reader.
Now, I have never read (or written) fiction based on real people, but I'm aware it exists. In The Girls, there's so much stuff going on – let's say "so many characters" – that you'll get confused as to who's who from time to time. If you're already familiar with the names — besides Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich — you'll be more than fine probably.
In it, McLellan says that Garbo and Dietrich met on the set of The Joyless Street, which goes uncredited on Dietrich's filmography even to date on IMDB, even as the author states that there's an interview in which Marlene talks about a crucial scene that was eventually cut from the film, and that they had a fling that ended so bad it would define the rest of their lives. Then, throughout the whole book, they begin explaining how Hollywood was during the 20s and early 30s, and what events began changing the perceived morality of that era… bringing on the Hays Code. It deals with Marlene's supposed husband, a spy named Otto, who worked for the Communist Party as the Nazis were taking over Europe. And just like in movies, there is war, spy stories, people using each other and so on. The book also deals with loads of sex. It talks about how gay Hollywood was. Or, I guess, how lesbian it was or how bisexual. It turns out everyone I watched in old films was not completely straight. LOL
The book contains so much drama and recounts anecdotes of so many celebrities of the time, that I began thinking that it might be a little too adorned to be completely true. Of course, there's that bit about what truth hides behind the lies they tell you in official biographies or approved releases. Or something about the lies hidden behind the "truth" they give you. It was just a little too much fun to read all these encounters. My favorite being that of Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford – how these details are known, not entirely sure – because I love the both of them.
During Grand Hotel, she [Crawford] said later, the two passed on the stairs one day, and Joan was so overcome that she lowered her eyes. Garbo blocked her way with an arm, gazed directly in her eyes, and crooned, "I am glad we are working in the same picture." Joan reported that Garbo "took my face in her hands and said, "What a pity! Our first picture together, and we don't work with each other. I am so sorry. You have a marvelous face." Her knees went weak, Joan related. "She was breathtaking. If ever I thought of becoming a lesbian, that was it."
Chp. 24 – Flirting – "Her Knees Went Weak"
pg. 152-153
That's from that famous Garbo/Crawford not-getting-along report I've read so much about. I mean, I really REALLY loved Crawford when I saw Grand Hotel — included in the Garbo Collection — that I ended up buying the Crawford Collection. LOL So I pretty much agree with Garbo's possible comments on her marvelous face. xD
As for Marlene Dietrich… Wow~ her chapters. I thought I was reading one of those cheesy romantic novels that grown married women read. LOL She really REALLY got around. With a lot, and I really mean A LOT, of people. It's like, she was older than any of my parents, and she was still getting some. Disturbing, but true. LOL
Marlene tore down Edith's panties backstage in a Berlin theater and, using just her mouth, brought Edith's to orgasm.
Chp. 9 – A Swede Steams In – "Using Just Her Mouth"
pg. 62
Even her daughter Maria was afraid her mom would sleep with her fiancé. xD
But because this is about real people who have passed away, these "characters" all die in the book, and it is the most saddening experience I've had reading a book. I literally couldn't keep the book down while reading the last chapters and thinking about Garbo's sad, SAD destiny.
As Garbo's health worsened — she endured a mastectomy, a heart attack, and thrice-weekly kidney dialysis in the late 1980s — she was tortured by regrets.
Should she have sacrificed her privacy and her reputation to sweeten her bitter and lonely old age with a life's companion? She told her Swedish friend Sven Broman that she envied the old couples she saw tottering down the street arm in arm: "You don't have to be married, but it means a lot having a partner for life… I don't have one… I regret that."
Chp. 64 – The End of The Joyless Street – "I Have Never Received a Love Letter"
pg. 377
My heart just broke with that.
Of course, the book doesn't end on a sad note. It talks about what came as the gay movement for gay rights became more and more important with icons like Madonna, Melissa Etheridge, and k.d. Lang. They even mentioned Ellen's famous episode and coming out. Reading about Anne Heche made me laugh a bit and made me realize it's 2010 – 10 years after the book, and hey! Ellen's married! Etheridge is divorcing, Neil Patrick Harris is having babies! Gaga has won every possible award ever, it seems. Glee's the gayest show in town, and Modern Family has the best gays xD and~~~ well, there's just so many gays in the world now.
Garbo grew old in the wrong era.

Camiele White says:
Agreed…Greta definitely would've had more luck being herself otherwise. However, her personality was such that it seems it would've taken a lot for her to leave the "comfort" of her own bedroom. She was really introverted, despite having the face of an angel and the sass of the fiercest fag hag (I say that with love, being one myself).
This is very interesting info, however. I love me some biographies, especially when it pertains to film and music history. I might have to pick this one up.
@Camiele White, I love Hollywood biographies – especially if they come with photos xD. But this one was another monster. I mean, it's based on the fact that the author says Garbo and Dietrich worked on Joyless Street… if you can't get over that fact, like a lot of people do – the stories are very hard to believe.

A: It's because of conflicts in your XML files.
As the errors tell you, several xml files (in your res folders, maybe "attr" ones but I cannot be sure) has the same name in different projects.
Maybe they belong to your definitions or third's, but the ID for your resources must be unique.
Try checking if they can be yours and rename them.
EDIT:
Now I can see your errors,
Add jcenter() to your repos. Facebook artifacts seem to be there. You don't need to remove your previous one.
In your repositories zone:
repositories {
    jcenter()       // IntelliJ main repo.
}

In case you already have a "facebook" module, remove it from your project structure (file -> project structure) and you can also delete your module files in case you want to clean your project. (attention: all of this only if you didn't customize anything from "facebook" module").
With gradle, you only need import it from your build.gradle, and not having your own "facebook" module.

A: When I was using compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.0.0' I had the same problem. I used compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.23.1' instead and my project was built successfully. I do not know if it has something to do with upgrading from 3.x to 4.0.

Fixing a Hole
Accounting, Case Study, Negotiation, Professor
Prof. Robert Bloomfield, Cornell University
This case is based on a real-life situation;
names have been changed to protect identities.
Nancy Quine, Senior Vice President of Geriatric Products at Global Consumer Goods (GCG) came to work in early December to hear some bad news. Jesse Chalmers, a new sales manager, had made a major miscalculation. GCG allows sales managers to arrange their own promotion agreements with customers. Jesse chose to provide a "store coupon" arrangement with a major drug store (MDS) chain: customers who spent at least $4 on a GCG product on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) or later that weekend would receive a $2 instant coupon to use on any product sold by MDS.
The promotion was a pyrrhic success. Assume a customer bought a product with a retail cost of $5. For a typical product, GCG would receive about $3. The net revenue brought in by the sale was recorded at $1: the $3 revenue from the store less the $2 coupon. (Store coupons are almost never used to buy another GCG product). However, this is only the beginning of the problem. Producing and shipping a product typically cost GCG about two-thirds of wholesale gross revenue amount, in this case 2/3 x $3 = $2. So GCG recorded a loss of $1 for each unit sold ($1 net revenue – $2 production and shipping cost). The promotion was so "successful" that GCG lost almost $10,000,000 in a single weekend.
Filling the Hole
As Senior Vice President, Nancy Quine was responsible for ensuring that Geriatric Products hit the profit targets assigned to it each quarter by headquarters. This $10M hole was an unpleasant surprise, especially since it was uncovered with only a few weeks left in the quarter. Nancy immediately set to work finding ways to boost the division's profit by $10M. Here's how she did it:
Renegotiating transfer prices. Like many decentralized firms, GCG was split into numerous divisions. The Geriatric division produced few of the ingredients for the products it sold. Instead, it bought some materials from the outside (particularly packaging), but bought key ingredients for contents of the bottles (referred to as "product") from other divisions. Also like many decentralized firms, transfer prices for these inter-divisional purchases were negotiated by divisional executives. Nancy's first step was to call her negotiating partner who provided a key product ingredient and negotiate a lower price, retroactive to the beginning of the quarter. Nancy was confident that her negotiating partner would agree to the arrangement, since she had done the same for them two years ago in similar circumstances.
Deferring selling expenses. GCG had been gearing up for a big launch of a new product. Such launches are typically preceded by several weeks of promotion on TV, print, radio and web outlets. Nancy called the marketing group and told them that they had $4 million less to work with in December. She would leave it to them to decide how to implement the cuts: they could delay promotion, focus on a more limited geography (e.g., only in the Northeast) or shift their mix to cheaper channels (e.g., less TV, more web advertising).
Purchasing low-cost materials. The Geriatric division encouraged cost cutting by maintaining a suggestion box that all employees could use to propose measures that might improve efficiency. A committee including representatives from accounting, engineering, production and marketing, evaluated the proposals. One recommendation, never acted on, had received a strong evaluation: purchasing "unified" container lids that used a single piece of plastic instead of a cap-and-hinge construction. Nancy ordered $10M worth of the new lids. The original design would have cost $13 million. The standard cost accounting system assumed that the number of container lids purchased would have cost $13.5 million. Nancy doesn't expect any of the container lids to be used before the end of the year.
Planning a New Year's Eve promotion. Because New Year's Day fell on a Monday, Nancy saw an opportunity to bring in some extra profit before year end. She arranged another promotion with MDS for December 30th and 31st. Similar to the original promotion that caused the problems in the first place, MDS customers who purchased a CGS product received a coupon. However, the product had to cost at least $20 to get a $5 coupon, and the coupon applied only to another CGS good purchased costing $10 or more at the same time. This promotion was expected to generate substantial sales of products for incontinence and diabetes, both of which had relatively high price tags.
How exactly would each tactic result in profits to offset at least part of the $10M hole Nancy was trying to dig her way out of? Be sure to use your accounting knowledge, and specify what types of accounts will be affected and how these will show up on the division's income statement and balance sheet. (For the New Year's Eve promotion, how much profit will GCG expect from each coupon user?)
Renegotiating transfer prices is strictly an accounting maneuver—it does not alter the fundamental cash flows or value of the business as a whole, but does increase Geriatrics' profits at the expense of other units. This maneuver will not affect cash at any unit, but will affect how they split up CGS and/or SG&A expenses.
Deferring selling expenses will increase this period's income by reducing an immediate out-of-pocket expense. However, this comes at the cost of long-term profit: presumably the division is deviating from their otherwise-optimal business strategy of continuing with their planned marketing campaigns. The maneuver will increase cash and income, and reduce SG&A expenses.
Purchasing low-cost goods that remain in inventory might seem to have no income effect (just altering inventory in the balance sheet). But because the firm uses a standard costing system, the favorable purchase-price variance is immediately recognized in income as a downward adjustment to cost of goods sold. What is the long-term effect? That depends on the impact of the lower-cost caps on consumer satisfaction and future demand.
The New-Year's Eve promotion will pull sales from next year into this year. It probably doesn't maximize overall profit (combined over both years), because otherwise they probably would have scheduled the promotion without the budget shortfall. Will the gross profit for the promotion sales be positive? Unlike the promotion that created the hole, this one requires an additional purchase of CGS products. Assuming that people buy the minimum-price product ($10), the revenue on the second item is $6.67 before the discount, and the cost (at 2/3 of revenue) is $4.44. This means the second item creates a loss of about $0.56 with the $5 coupon; adding in the shipping cost of $2 implies a loss of $2.56, but that is far outweighed by the profit that will be generated by the regular-price item.
How should the GCG respond to each of Nancy's tactics when they evaluate her performance as part of their annual compensation and promotion review? Taking each tactic separately, do you think Nancy acted ethically? Use the following scales for your responses:
Performance Evaluation Scale. The tactic is:
To be strongly rewarded
To be rewarded
To be punished
To be strongly punished
A firing offense
Ethicality Scale. The tactic is:
Clearly ethical
Probably ethical
Probably not ethical
Clearly unethical
Answers to these last questions are controversial, but here are some observations:
None of the techniques appear to violate GAAP or other professional standards. In particular, none alter whether or when events are recorded (generally viewed as the least ethical form of earnings management); the first item is best viewed as accrual earnings management, in that it adjusts estimates. The other three are operational decisions. Interestingly, while these are the types of decisions that truly reduce the value of the firm (because they involve deviating from optimal business strategies), they are generally viewed as the most ethical.
My preferred model of assessing the ethicality of earnings management is to determine whether the accounting representation is "a lie", and if it is, to use Sissela Bok's "principle of veracity" to determine whether the lie is ethical.
A reporting or management is a lie if the resulting performance measure is intentionally false and deceptive regarding the underlying construct the measure purports to capture. In my view (which not everyone will agree with), the practice is deceptive only if people are not anticipating it to be used. The only one I see that seems potentially deceptive is the retroactive alteration of transfer prices and allocations. Even for internal transactions, I believe most people will believe that past transaction prices are fixed and won't be changed, and would be deceived by the practice.
If a practice is viewed as a lie, Bok argues that it is ethical if reasonable outside observers would agree that the lie was an appropriate way to behave. Appropriateness in turn is evaluated by the direct harm or benefit upon the audience for the lie (those who will rely on it), and on the externalized effect of the lie on the "practice of veracity." Even if the operational decisions are viewed as lies, it doesn't seem obvious that there is harm to either the audience (the people evaluating Geriatrics) or the practice of veracity (whether it will increase the extent of lying) unless the practices are more egregious than usually expected. That doesn't appear to be the case in most businesses. In contrast, I believe the retroactive adjustment of transaction prices is likely to make performance evaluation difficult, and to reduce the level of trust in allocations. This harm seems serious enough that I would probably penalize this practice, or at least implement policies to clarify that retroactive adjustments are unacceptable behavior.

Movie File: Jim Carrey, Christina Ricci, 'The Brass Wall' & More
Carrey rhymes his way back into Dr. Seuss world; pig-nosed Ricci makes grown men cry in 'Penelope.'
Shawn Adler 02/13/2007
On the 14th day of March, in the Jungle of Nool/ In the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool/ We've got news for you, try not to be wary: There's another darn Seuss movie from comic Jim Carrey. "At the moment I'm doing a cartoon version of 'Horton Hears a Who,' which is going to be beautiful," the "Grinch" star recently announced. "Audrey Geisel, Dr. Seuss' widow, liked what I did [on the 'Grinch'] and she asked me to [voice] Horton." According to Carrey, "Horton," the story of an elephant who discovers a microscopic world and must protect it from his neighbors, contains big, Seussian truths. "I love the idea that a person is a person no matter how small, and the idea of worlds within worlds within worlds," the "Ace Ventura" star said. "Sometimes I sit out in my backyard and a hummingbird will come down, whap! right past my head. And I realize that it's his property, as far as he's concerned. We think we're the ones in control [but we're not]." "Horton Hears a Who" opens on March 14, 2008. ...
What does it take to make Hollywood's biggest badass shed a tear? Apparently, Christina Ricci in a prosthetic pig nose. "I have a movie called 'Penelope' coming out in April," Ricci said of her next project, a fantasy tale about a cursed girl with a swine's snout. "It's a fairy tale, but it's pretty touching." The flick, which is produced by and co-stars Reese Witherspoon, is so touching, in fact, that an advance screening recently made none other than Samuel L. Jackson break down in tears. "It's so touching and great," grinned Jackson, a friend of Ricci's who co-stars with her in "Black Snake Moan." "Sam cried at the screening," teased Ricci, while Jackson could only reply, "I love that movie." Get your Kleenex ready, as "Penelope" hits theaters April 6. ...
Mark Ruffalo is looking to ruffle a few feathers with his next flick, a drama based on a true story called "The Brass Wall" that might arrive just in time to tarnish the image of a presidential contender. "I don't think he realizes quite how close it's going to come," the "Zodiac" star said of Rudy Giuliani, who is due to announce his Republican candidacy any day now. "[Our film] is about an undercover organized-crime detective in New York City in the early '90s who starts to investigate one thing and then it opens up into this huge police corruption scandal that reaches all they way up to Giuliani, who's running for office at this time," he said of the former New York mayor and his alleged connection to a situation involving the Lucchesi crime family and the death of a firefighter. Based on the controversial book of the same name by New York Times reporter David Kocieniewski, "Wall" is expected to begin filming this year — just in time to possibly bring an alleged skeleton back into the daylight. "They never went after [Giuliani] because they wanted to focus. They thought it would become too sprawling," Ruffalo said of the real-life investigation. "But now that we're making the movie, we're privy to much more information than they were printing back then. And he has his hands all over this thing." ...
Santa, baby! "Daddy's Little Girls" star Gabrielle Union told MTV News her next flick is a modernized Christmas classic. "Last I heard it was called 'The Perfect Christmas,' " Union reported. "It's kind of a re-imagining of 'Miracle on 34th Street,' with an urban, hip-hop edge." The original was a tearjerker that followed a department-store Santa who claimed to be the real deal, but Union said her remake has an entirely different tone. "It's hilarious," she insisted. "We've got Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard [as Mr. Bah Humbug]. Charlie Murphy plays my husband." Be good, for goodness sake, "The Perfect Christmas" opens November 30. ...
Get on your chairs and let out your wildest screams, because "There's a rat in every restaurant," proclaimed Emmy-winner Brad Garrett, who should know — he's the one who brought them there. "I play Chef Gusteau, who is the dead owner of the restaurant where the rats congregate," Garrett said of his role in the upcoming Pixar release "Ratatouille," the story of Remy, a Parisian rat voiced by Patton Oswalt, whose greatest ambition is to become a top chef. "I come back as an apparition to help Remy with his cooking." Does that make Garrett like other great movie teachers? "I'm [definitely] the Obi-Wan," Garrett joked. "Except because of my size, I'm the Obi-Three." The Brad Bird- and Jan Pinkava-directed flick scurries into theaters June 29. ...
Looking for a baffler? Try parsing out the story of "Nobel Son," a new film starring Alan Rickman, Danny DeVito, Eliza Dushku and "Alpha Dog" actor Shawn Hatosy. "I love this movie, it's really cool," Hatosy said, breaking into a quiet laugh. "But it's a hard one to talk about because the plot is all over the place. Alan Rickman plays a scientist and Bryan Greenberg plays a guy who studies cannibalism, so it's kind of an analogy between the two. It's a strange film." Even if he doesn't necessarily understand the whole thing, Hatosy told MTV News about one scene that he jokingly said he hopes needs no explanation. "I play Alan Rickman's half-son, he doesn't know that he's his son," Hatosy said as a wicked smile broke across his face. "And there's a scene where I'm forced to eat Eliza Dushku and her boob." Hatosy makes the strangest trip ever to "second base" in late '07. ...
"It's a 21st century 'Dirty Dozen,' " "Zodiac" scribe James Vanderbilt said of his new film, "The Losers," a "total action picture" based on a limited-run comic book series by "the mad genius and conspiracy theorist Andy Diggle." "It's about a group of special-forces guys who get framed by this drugged-out, rogue CIA agent and have to figure out how to clear their names in a post-9/11 world," he explained. "Five guys who basically lost everything, but are still hard-boiled American patriots and are going to save the country from its government." Director Peter Berg, who previously worked with Vanderbilt on "The Rundown," will helm the project, which is currently being rewritten for Warner Bros. for a 2008 release.

Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls


I've been meaning to get my hands on this since it came out in 2010, but only managed to get it early this year... then read it this month! Tsk. If you've read a few of my blog entries, you're probably sick of me mentioning how awesome Jasper Fforde is. If this is the first time you're here, well... JASPER FFORDE IS AWESOME.
I first got hooked into Jasper Fforde when I picked up a copy of The Eyre Affair. I was instantly hooked. Fforde is such a witty, creative and funny writer. The Last Dragonslayer is his first young adult novel, and it did not disappoint. Though I must say, it didn't blow me away like his Thursday Next or Nursery Crime books. Although, this book reminds me a little of The Eyre Affair - which features an adorable sidekick, a strong female character, and an insane adventure.
"In the good old days, magic was powerful, unregulated by government, and even the largest spell could be woven without filling in the magic release form B1-7g. But somewhere, somehow, the magic started draining away.
But then the visions start. The Last Dragon is going to be killed by a Dragonslayer at 12.00 on Sunday. The death will unleash untold devastation on the UnUnited Kingdom, setting principality against dukedom and property developer against homesteader. And all the signs are pointing to Jennifer Strange, and saying"Big Magic is coming!"
The Last Dragonslayer is fizzing with all the creativity and genius Jasper Fforde's fans delight in, and will appeal as much to the young at heart as to the younger readers for whom it is written."
I'm reading The Eyre Affair at the moment! Well, it's one of many books that I'm reading at the moment :) It has taken me a while to get into it but the more I have the harder it's become to put down. I love all the literary references! This book sounds great too!
I have never read anything by this author. I guess I should! This book sounds interesting and I really like the title. Thanks for sharing!


The nature trail starts from the Nuuksio recreation cabin car park. The trail branches northwards from Hakjärventie and runs through the Lajalampi steam valley to Sorlampi then runs south along the Sorlampi fracture valley, then turns back from there to the starting point. The area is characterized by steep rocky outcrops with valleys of streams between them, and in places by seemingly untouched coniferous forest. There are five information boards along the trail. The Sorlampi giant's cauldron and the Hiidenpesä cave are close to the route. The trail is about 5-km long and it takes 1.5 – 2 to walk along it. The Sorlampi cooking shelter is a good place for picnicking and grilling sausages. The nature trail does not require heavy hiking equipment. Duckboards have been laid over the most difficult parts.


Thank you Ellis for the welcome, though when i am reading it now and responding much late in time after being a member. I hope however that i am not too late to catch up with all i have missed.
I am from Kenya, based in Nairobi, and a Quaker since birth. I have read as much materials on Quakerism (of course one can never say has read enough). I have also written two or three articles in the NFF papers in the past, and look forward to get back to continuous writing as i learn too from the great giants i live to admire in my life on the "Quakerulture", and especially in the current contexts.
I also take some time to teach in a number of gatherings when invited, mostly they have been interdenominational, here in Nairobi. the above notwithstanding, i need even more, to satiate my hunger for readership on the life, culture, behavior and words of quakers.
I came to learn of NFF because we receive them quite often. Terry Wallace has been sending my mum and at times myself the papers, and they have left indelible marks in my life.
Ah, Ellis, i can write and write.

There are practical options regarding accommodation for those that would prefer for example single or twin en-suite rooms to the standard rooms with shared bathroom services. The accommodation will be in close proximity to our main campuses. Girls and boys will be housed separately.
In order to maintain security of students', team managers reside in the accommodation with the students with additional security and maintenance present on all our sites. Students will be provided with a room key to increase their safety.
In addition to the features of accommodation already noted, services such as shared lounge and kitchen services will be available, but this will be restricted to only Group Leaders who accompany students from their countries. The rooms will be furnished with a bed, cupboard, and wardrobe. Students will be allowed to have their meals on campus with a variety of choices and vegetarian options. We also welcome and cater for special dietary requirements.
The student accommodation plays an important role in a students' experience on the courses. A safe atmosphere for individuals gives them chance not only to share common interests with other students but also build new and lasting relationship with students from different countries which last for lifetime.

Życiorys

Urodził się około 1831. Był wyznania greckokatolickiego.

Wstąpił do służby sądowniczej Austro-Węgier w ramach zaboru austriackiego. Od około 1856 do około 1858 jako auskultant C. K. Wyższego Sądu Krajowego we Lwowie był przydzielony do C. K. Sądu Krajowego we Lwowie. Od około  1858 do około 1860 był prowizorycznym aktuariuszem (protokolantem) w C. K. Sądzie Powiatowym w Rudkach. Następnie pracował na stanowisku adjunkta: od około 1860 w C. K. Sądzie Krajowym we Lwowie, od około 1863 w C. K. Sądzie Powiatowym w Dobromilu, od około 1864 w C. K. Sądzie Powiatowym w Rawie, a na przełomie 1867/1868 był samodzielnym adjunktem w prowizorycznym C. K. Sądzie Powiatowym w Niemirowie. W 1868 został mianowany sędzią C. K. Sądu Powiatowego w Kałuszu i piatował posadę do około 1869. Od 1869 do około 1874 był sędzią w C. K. Sądzie Powiatowym w Jaworowie. Od 1874 do 1876 sprawował stanowisko radcy w C. K. Sądzie Obwodowym w Przemyślu.

Na skutek własnego podania w połowie 1876 został mianowany sędzią C. K. Sądu Powiatowego w Sanoku z pozostawieniem tytułu i charakteru radcy sądu krajowego, po czym pełnił urząd w kolejnych latach. Jako naczelnik tego sądu w 1884 udał się wraz z burmistrzem Sanoka Cyrylem Jaksą Ładyżyńskim w delegacji władz miejskich do Wiednia, co skutkowało utworzeniem Sądu Obwodowego w Sanoku, funkcjonującego od 1 września 1887 w budynku-gmachu przy ulicy Tadeusza Kościuszki 3. Posiadając tytuł i charakter radcy sądu krajowego w Sanoku w sierpniu 1887 został mianowany radcą sądu krajowego dla Sanoka pozostając w tym charakterze w kolejnych latach przy Sądzie Obwodowym w Sanoku, jednocześnie pełniąc funkcję przełożonego delegatury sądu powiatowego, od około 1888 do 1897. 11 listopada 1884 otrzymał tytuł honorowego obywatelstwa Sanoka za starania o ustanowienie C. K. Sądu Obwodowego w Sanoku. Pracując jako radca C. K. Sądu Obwodowego w Sanoku, w dniu 1 grudnia 1895 obchodził jubileusz 40-lecia służby sędziowskiej (z tego okresu połowę przepracował w Sanoku). Po przeniesieniu w stan spoczynku na początku 1897 cesarz Austro-Węgier Franciszek Józef I nadał radcy sądu krajowego w sądzie obwodowym w Sanoku Janowi Towarnickiemu tytuł i charakter radcy wyższego sądu krajowego wraz z uwolnieniem od taksy.

W 1881 został wybrany radnym miasta Sanoka z I koła wyborczego. Został członkiem Rady c. k. powiatu sanockiego, wybrany z grupy gmin miejskich około 1881 i od około 1883 był zastępcą członka wydziału. W Sanoku od około 1879 do około 1885 był przewodniczącym jednego galicyjskich wydziałów miejscowych pierwszego powszechnego Stowarzyszenia Urzędników Monarchii Austro-Węgierskiej. Był członkiem sanockiego gniazda Polskiego Towarzystwa Gimnastycznego "Sokół" (1890-1891), członkiem sanockiego biura powiatowego Stowarzyszenia Czerwonego Krzyża mężczyzn i dam w Galicji.

Po przejściu na emeryturę zamieszkiwał w Sanoku. Tam zmarł 11 stycznia 1902 w wieku 70 lat. Został pochowany 12 stycznia 1902. Jego żoną była Paulina (zm. 1 października 1903 w Sanoku w wieku 58 lat).
