New Today at Apple Session, Coding Lab for Kids: Code Your First App
In celebration of Computer Science Education Week, Apple is introducing a new Today at Apple session, Coding Lab for Kids: Code Your First App, at Apple Store locations around the world beginning December 5.
For those who aren't familiar, the Today at Apple program offers free, daily in-store sessions that assist customers in unleashing their creativity and making the most of their devices. Anyone, including families and groups, can register at apple.co/coding-sessions.
"Around the world, our stores are centers for community, where people of all ages are invited to discover the most innovative products, learn new skills, and explore their creative passions," said Deirdre O'Brien, Apple's senior vice president of Retail + People.
During the lab, Apple Creative Pros will lead aspiring coders and their guardians in an interactive activity using iPad and Swift Playgrounds.
Working in the About Me playground, participants will use SwiftUI and a new, real-time app preview to customize and bring their app to life with fun fonts, background colors, Memoji, and more.
After its launch, the new lab will become part of Apple's rotating Today at Apple programming, with sessions scheduled at convenient times for kids and families.
Apple's coding resources are designed to teach essential skills while also preparing learners for high-demand careers in computer science.
Earlier this year, independent analyses showed the iOS app economy continued its track record as an engine of economic growth and opportunity, supporting more than 2.2 million jobs in the US in 2021.
Aspiring entrepreneurs, developers, and designers can also propel their skills and businesses through the Apple Developer Academy. First established in Brazil in 2013, the academy now operates in 17 locations around the world, including Detroit; Naples, Italy; and Pohang, South Korea.

The latest news, WOD tips, and success stories.
CrossFit is truly Functional Fitness and the things I have done and continue to do in the gym I know will continue to help me be the healthiest version of me that I can be. I am grateful to be a part of such an amazing community!
If you are someone who is looking to get stronger, leaner, and in better shape than you have ever been before, all I can say is put your trust in Rome. He will guide you to where you want to be...you just need to be patient and get out of your own way.
I'm very pleased with the results that I've worked for over the years. I'm also very proud to be part of a gym that continuously gives back to the community and supports its members professionally and personally.
I cannot imagine my or my family's life without Romeo Athletics. We have met amazing friends, stayed healthy and motivated, and gained an enrichment that can only be earned through pushing the limits of what you think is possible.
All you have to do is walk through the door and you'll get a better workout than you can imagine and consistently! The community of members that CrossFit Revelation draws continues to amaze me.
Andrew was able to deliver an amazing 12-week program that included both a physical fitness and a nutritional component specific to our job. In that time frame our members lost weight, gained strength, reduced body fat and had positive reviews during annual physicals.


doing my admission coordinator job in the ER yesterday it was...all of the above, plus every inpatient bed filled, post-op floor has 5 patients in PACU and no place to put them, labor and delivery has 3 c-sections and no discharges, there are 3 ICU patients in the ER and the medical CEO thinks it would be a good plan if I could convince pedi to take a 94 year old demented patient with pneumonia. Is it required for all senior management to have absloutely no common sense?
"Is it required for all senior management to have absloutely no common sense?"
I used to work on the Neuro floor... well, okay, it wasn't all Neuro, because somebody brilliant decided that the floor where we send ALOCs and drunks should be shared with pediatrics.
More than once when peds was quiet (all summer) and neuro was busy, I would be caring for a drunk or confused patient who was actually spilled over the peds unit.
So is it a requirement? Who knows; maybe it is just acquired.


Mike, could you start by telling us about your earliest climbing experiences.
When I turned up in Cambridge in 1962 I had done very little real climbing, but I was very keen to do more, and I had already discovered that I seemed to have some talent for it. I went on a meet to the Derbyshire gritstone as soon as I could, and, wearing my mountain boots (I had not heard of PAs at the time), I got up a few climbs. Shortly after that I fell about 25ft off a VS because the rubber on the toe of my boot was worn away, and I tore my ankle. The more experienced members of the CUMC (Nick Estcourt, Rupert Roschnik, etc) were not amused by this novice showing off. However I managed to show them that I was actually able to climb, and that I could be competitive with them. That winter I joined the Club's Ben Nevis meet and got my first taste of ice climbing, which I also enjoyed. I think the reason that I was competitive with the best of them was that I was quite strong, and was able to keep my nerve on rock climbs. I reasoned that if other people had done it before me, even if I could not see how to do the next bit, it was obviously possible and there must be holds there, and so I should be able to do it too. I did not frighten easily, and my (flawed) reasoning worked, so I went up the grades quite quickly, and become one of the better climbers in the CUMC.
This group (part of the southern end of the Nalakankar Himal) lies in the very furthest NW corner of Nepal (just south of Gurla Mandhata 7694m) geographically in Tibet whilst politically in Nepal. It is trans-Himalayan rather like Dolpo or Mustang.
Julian Freeman-Attwood led a team comprising AC members Ed Douglas, Nick Colton and Bruce Normand along with Christof Nettekoven.
The Club has a reciprocal agreement with the Oread Mountaineering Club covering the use of each others huts.
The Derbyshire hut is small, with only 10 places. At weekends a party wishing to use the hut has to book all 10 places, but individual mid-week bookings are possible.
The Anglo-New Zealand Kishtwar is a bit of a grand name for Richard "Reg" Measures' and my (both AC members) trip to the Indian Himalaya – originally Steve Fortune from New Zealand was going to join us as well, but two months before departing, work commitments meant he was unable too.
The aims of the trip were to make the first ascent of the North Spur of Flat Top (6100m) and the South Face of the Kishtwar Eiger (circa 6000m). Ultimately we were unsuccessful on attempts on both of these peaks due to unseasonably bad weather.


This is so disappointing because the first chapter of Beyond the Eyes really drew me in. I was 100% on board with everything. And then by the time we reach chapter 5, we have a romance that I just could not continue to stomach.
And that is really saying something, since I'm a hopeless romantic.
So there's some paranormal hocus pocus that goes on in the first few chapters, but it is vastly overshadowed by the suffocating and cringe-inducing romance. The main character Paige has these premonitions, rather, she hears voices that tell her things like YOU'RE GOING TO DIE VERY SOON. What a great way to start a book, am I right? And then she starts seeing freaky things in people's eyes. These are all great things to have at the beginning of a book. They are intriguing, and made me want to know more.
Because lets not forget Nathan and Paige have known each other for TWO DAYS before things start getting serious. I stopped reading when he asked to spend the night at her house. I don't care that he wasn't trying to sleep with her. You don't let a strange boy sleep at your house (Especially when your mom goes away for months at a time—but really, where the heck is CPS?). Come on Paige.
This kind of behavior is acceptable once you've known the guy for a while and you actually know something about him. Like, you should probably be a little worried about his paranormal secrets that you know he has, but you don't know what they are.
I really am quite sad about this. Especially because Beyond the Eyes was a review request and I HATE not finishing a review request. I try extra hard to keep reading them, but at some point, if you just hate what you're reading, there's really no point to keep going, right? It's really a shame for this book because the writing, from a technical standpoint, is quite good. Ford just needed to push her love story timeline back a few chapters.
So if intense insta-love doesn't bother you (and it obviously doesn't bother many Good Reads users since this book has quite a good rating), then you'll probably like Beyond the Eyes. The paranormal stuff seemed like it was going in a really good direction, but unfortunately, I just couldn't wade through the mess of love at first sight.

Home Uncategorized :: Workers' Compensation Settlements Vulnerable To Recoupment
:: Refund Requests Prove Shortest Route To Group Health Plan Reimbursement
Roy Harmon Uncategorized March 10, 2021 July 11, 2021
While the Court is not unsympathetic to Defendants, it recognizes that the Fund has a fiduciary responsibility to enforce its lien on the proceeds of Defendants' workers' compensation settlements in order maintain the solvency of the Fund for the benefit of all participants. This unpleasant episode, which results in Defendants getting less money for their injuries due to the required payback, could have been avoided had Plaintiff been invited to the settlement table before the workers' compensation cases were finalized in negotiation.
Graphic Comms. Natl. Health Welfare Fund v. Tackett, 2008 WL 2020504 (S.D.Ill.) (May 09, 2008)
In a very well-reasoned opinion, the district court in Tackett held that workers' compensation awards are subject to ERISA health plan reimbursement rights. The case at once both exposes a common evasive practice employed by workers' compensation carriers and debunks the spurious legal pretext offered to justify the scheme.
The facts are very familiar to lawyers that have a workers' compensation practice.
The employee is injured in an occupational setting. Employee files a workers' compensation claim. Carrier denies claim (perhaps with a helpful suggestion that the employee submit the claim to the employee's health insurance plan.)
Meanwhile . . .
Group health plan receives notice of the denial and pays claims. Thereafter, the employee obtains counsel and the carrier makes a compromise offer.
That's a general description of the facts in Tackett, albeit with some poetic license.
Suit For Reimbursement
When the Fund learned of the settlements in Tackett, it filed suit to obtain reimbursement of medical expenses paid.
Graphic Communications National Health and Welfare Fund ("the Fund") is an employee welfare benefit plan providing medical, hospital and surgical expenses under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq. The Fund filed suit in June, 2004, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, and thereafter transferred this action to the Circuit Court of Marion County, seeking reimbursement for benefits that it paid to Defendants, Lee W. Tackett a/k/a/ Donald L. Tackett ("Tackett"), Linda Hiestand ("Hiestand") and Helen Irwin ("Irwin").
In February, 2007, Defendant, Travelers Indemnity Company of Illinois n/k/a Travelers Property Casualty Company of America ("Travelers"), removed the action to this Court.
Carriers Bail Out
The original defendant group narrowed considerably:
In March, 2007, Defendants, Travelers and Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., moved to dismiss, asserting that they were neither a party to, nor a fiduciary of, the Fund, and that, therefore, they had no duty to the Fund to protect its contractual subrogation interest. On September 4, 2007, the Court found that Travelers and Gallagher were not liable to reimburse the Fund with the proceeds of their co-defendants' workers' compensation claims and granted their motions to dismiss.
ERISA Exemption?
The defendants pinned their hopes on an Illinois statute that provides:
Defendants contend the Plaintiff's claim fails under the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305/21 which provides, "No payment, claim, award or decision under this Act shall be assignable or subject to any lien, attachment or garnishment, or be held liable in any way for any lien, debt, penalty or damages…."
ERISA does exempt certain plans in the workers' compensation context from its reach,
"The provisions of this subchapter shall not apply to any employee benefit plan if … (3) such plan is maintained solely for the purpose of complying with applicable workmen's compensation laws or unemployment compensation or disability insurance laws[.]" 29 U.S.C. § 1003(b)(3).
but this was not the context intended to be exempt:
However, the United States Supreme Court refused to give this exemption a sweeping interpretation by holding that ERISA preempted a District of Columbia law requiring employers to continue health care coverage for employees eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Greater Washington Bd. of Trade, 506 U.S. at 126-27. The Court rejected the District's contention that the law was exempted from preemption because it related to the District's workers' compensation plans. The Court noted that whether the law related to a workers' compensation plan was irrelevant where the law also "relates to" a plan subject to ERISA.
Reimbursement Claims Upheld
The district court upheld the fund's claim to reimbursement, recognizing the gambit for what it was, stating:
Defendants were on notice of the lien and agreed to repay the Fund for any benefits received. The plain language of the plan requires repayment as does the supplemental agreement Defendants signed in order to receive the benefits. Instead, they chose to ignore the lien, gambling that they would not be required to repay the Fund.
While the Court is not unsympathetic to Defendants, it recognizes that the Fund has a fiduciary responsibility to enforce its lien on the proceeds of Defendants' workers' compensation settlements in order maintain the solvency of the Fund for the benefit of all participants.
This unpleasant episode, which results in Defendants getting less money for their injuries due to the required payback, could have been avoided had Plaintiff been invited to the settlement table before the workers' compensation cases were finalized in negotiation.
Note: The court also rejected a pretext commonly offered in these settings – that the liability was disputed and no money was actually paid for medical expenses. A lengthy, bit interesting excerpt:
At oral argument, defense counsel represented that none of his three clients received, as part of their workers' compensation settlements, any money for medical expenses and therefore Plaintiff should not receive reimbursement for medical expenses that it advanced to Defendants. A look at the actual settlement documents, or "pink sheets" as they are called in the vernacular, belies this representation.
The terms of the Illinois Industrial Commission settlement contracts signed by the individual Defendants vary. See Doc. 59. Tackett's contract is "a compromise settlement of claims filed and unfiled, which were disputed as to all issues," but "[n]o portion of this settlement represents compensation for lost time or medical benefits." Id. Yet the very next sentence reads: "Respondent shall have no responsibility for medical expenses…." Id. The front page clearly indicates the medical bills have not been paid. So it is evident that the contract sets up an inconsistency that can only be explained as a concerted effort by the employer to avoid paying medical bills and the petitioner's agreeing that he received no money for medical bills.
Such a contract, given that Tackett received $105,000 for injuries to his spine, left leg, right arm and left arm, is overreaching. Obviously, he had medical bills that were unpaid and that related to his workers' compensation claims, or he would not have been paid six figures. The sole reason for the insertion of the inconsistent language was an effort to defeat Plaintiff's lien rights.
The terms of Hiestand's settlement states more simply that she accepted a lump sum "as full, final, and complete resolution of all disputed matters[.]" Id. Like Tackett, Hiestand's medical bills were unpaid and therefore in dispute. So the $34,887.90 she received included consideration for the bills.
Under the terms of Irwin's settlement, she accepts a lump sum "in full and final settlement of all claims[,] including all claims for past or future medical, surgical or hospital treatments." Id. It could not be more clear that her settlement of $81,321.75 included payment for medical bills, contrary to counsel's representation to the Court
Moot Point – Regardless, the plan language was broad enough to reach the settlement proceeds. The court observed:
Whether the workers' compensation contracts included payment for medical benefits or not is of no moment because the SPD plainly states "any recovery whatsoever," regardless of whether some or all of the amount received was for medical benefits. Inarguably, Defendants signed supplemental documents, as a condition to receiving benefits, that included the following clause, "I understand that the Fund must be reimbursed for medical benefits or any benefits paid as a result of an injury or illness if any recovery is made for that injury or illness." See Doc. 53, Exhibit D, Hiestand, signed 4/26/2000; Exhibit E, Tackett, signed 7/20/2000; Doc. 54, Exhibit A, Irwin, signed 6/4/01..
See also – This issue touches on a note I previously penned (Obstacles To Real Health Care Reform – A Sequel) on the subject of rising health care costs:
#4 Cost-Shifting To Health Plans
One of the more insidious ways that health care costs are unjustifiably increased takes place in a quite silent and unobtrusive manner.
When workers' compensation carriers refuse to pay legitimate occupational claims, the comp carriers routinely direct the claimants to file claims on their own group health plans.
If suit is filed against a workers" comp carrier, and the comp carrier settles, the comp carriers never inform the health plans. Those funds are therefore unreimbursed to the health plan though the claim is actually adjudged occupational. Since the health plan rarely discovers the reversal of the comp carriers position, the costs are effectively shifted from the comp carrier to the health plan.

I remember when I was little, and I'd be out doing that dreaded chore of mowing the lawn, and there, from my perch, Id spy a little hint of read peeping out from under a bed of leaves. I'd immediately stop my mower and crouch down to unearth the bright berries. Strawberries, even now, are jewels found, whether in the market, or in the fields. Their sweet tart flavor, especially when warmed by the summer sun screams out to be enjoyed in every possible way.
Last week I was invited in to Harvest restaurant, located in Harvard Square, to sample their latest in their line of Harvest Reviews- concentrated on Strawberries. Each course highlighted strawberries in a unique way, pairing them with savory and then sweet, and broadening their horizons out of their typical use.
We began our evening with one of the more intriguing preparations. A grilled Kurobuta Pork Sausage was paired with a black pepper strawberry gastrique and pickled green strawberries. For clarification, Korubuta Pork is a type of heritage pork, raised specifically for intense flavor and rich fat. Think Wagyu beef...Here the pork sausage was exactly what one would want from sausage, full of sweet and spicy flavor, hints of apple and nuts, and succulently fatty. The perfection here came from the pickled strawberries. There is something about cutting something so rich with the wonderful acidity of anything pickled.
The green strawberries were incredible. Having not fully ripened they had their own natural tartness, and then their flavor was brought out and manipulated really nicely in the pickling process. Together, especially combined with the sweet and spicy gastrique it was a perfect bite after perfect bite.
Up next was a Lavender Compressed Strawberry Salad. Bright whole lavender infused strawberries were set atop lime flavored yogurt, and then sprinkled with lavender olive oil powder and topped with fresh pea greens. Every component of this dish played off each other. The strawberries were naturally delicious on their own, but then when combined with the slight crunch of the pea greens, and their own sweetness, and then offset with tart yogurt, it was wonderful delight on the tongue. Even more than the flavors of this dish, I loved its healthful side as well. Every ingredient was fresh and natural, not over sauced and created a perfect base of vitamins and protein. As an appetizer, or a larger dish, this was exactly what I want to feast on in a restaurant.
Our entree course arrived soon after which perched a beautiful piece of seared Scottish Salmon, atop a Yukon Gold, Leek and Smoked Bacon hash and then drizzled with a strawberry, rhubarb and ginger jam. The salmon was beautiful. It hadn't been doctored in any way allowing its perfection to shine through as it was meant to be. Perfectly cooked, a wonderful medium rare, it was flavorful and delicious. Paired with the hash, which had incredible thick chunks of bacon and then beautifully melted bits of leek all against a back drop of creamy potatoes- it was a hearty accompaniment. I confess that the jam did get a bit lost amid the other components here, but that served no damage to the dish.
we were presented with fresh strawberry sorbet, a crumble of strawberry meringue, oat cracker and then little dollops of lovage cream. This light dessert blew me away. The sorbet was lovely, of course, bright, flavorful, not overly sweet- it was delicious. But the star here was what Executive Pastry Chef Brian Mercury called his gamble. It was the lovage cream. Lovage, if you aren't familiar, is an herb that tastes like a very highly concentrated celery leaf. Normally found in savory dishes (its a staple in my mom's stuffing), it was a glorious surprise here lending its unique flavor to the sweetness of the strawberry and then rounded out with the cream. It was a perfect summer dessert, light enough to allow for swimsuits, cool enough to refresh after a hot day and decadent enough to count as dessert.
Each time I have dined at Harvest I have been beyond impressed. Their food is always outstanding, but what charms me even more is their passion. Each member of the staff from Executive Chef Mary Dumont, to every server and host, shows their love of food and their craft in every action. If you have the opportunity to pass their open kitchen you can expect not to hear frustration or stress, but instead every time I've been greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. It's not that they aren't busy- it's that they love what they do. And it shows...in every dish.
It was such a lovely dinner! Great seeing you!
I loved everything about this meal. So fun to see you and catch up, too!
This is the perfect time of year for strawberry recipes in New England. These unique dishes all look delicious! What makes a strawberry recipe even better is when it is made with fresh, local fruit.


Back pain is so common that almost everyone will experience it at some point in their lives. However, there are varying causes and different degrees of back pain. If you experience moderate back pain, you may be able to use some natural remedies to help alleviate it.
Clean up your diet: Eating healthier can help you to lose weight, which can relieve strain on your back. Try to eat foods containing omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon or walnuts because omega-3 is an anti-inflammatory.
Stay hydrated: Drink lots of water as it could help reduce drying out or shrinking of discs from aging. Plus drinking enough water keeps your body functioning optimally.
Try natural supplements: Vitamin B12 can help neuropathic pain and muscles to relax. Glucosamine is a supplement used to ease joint pain.
Good posture: Sit up straight, shoulders back.
Massage: A massage can help temporarily ease back pain.
Get a new mattress: An old mattress can contribute to back pain. It does not keep your spine aligned and can strain your muscles.
Walk it off: Unless you have a serious injury or diagnosed spinal or nerve injury, you should be able to do light exercise. Many people think that back pain means they should rest a lot. On the contrary, it is more helpful to do low-impact exercises such as walking.
Try some of the above suggestions as easy, conservative ways to manage your back pain. If your back pain continues, or if your back pain is so severe that it interferes with everyday life and activities, contact us. Or call our dedicated Medical Concierge at 800-890-1964 to learn more or set up an appointment.

U.K. imposes Tier 4 Covid restrictions on millions as cases soar
A bus drives past a sign displaying the measures imposed by the government against the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), on the first day of a newly imposed lockdown, in London, Britain, November 5, 2020.

LONDON — The U.K. government has introduced stricter coronavirus restrictions for millions of people as cases continue to rise.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Wednesday that more regions would be placed into the toughest Tier 4 category.
The restrictions, which include a "stay at home" order, mean people must not leave their homes unless they have a reasonable excuse. Businesses including non-essential shops, gyms and hairdressers must close.
The announcement comes shortly after the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine was authorized for emergency use in the U.K. It is thought the vaccine will allow the U.K. to significantly ramp up its inoculation program.
Government data shows that infection rates have risen sharply across England in the last week, with significant pressure being placed on hospitals.
On Tuesday, 53,135 new Covid cases were recorded in the U.K., representing the highest single-day rise since mass testing commenced.
A new coronavirus variant found in the U.K. is reportedly more transmissible and has led to travel restrictions for people wanting to leave the country.
The new strain, referred to as SARS-CoV-2 VUI 202012/01 in the science community, could be as much as 70% more transmissible, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.
U.S. health officials confirmed the first case of the new strain on Wednesday. Several other countries have also identified the variant strain in recent weeks.

Founded in 2007, Neverest provide customised professional development for accountants across Canada. With their expertise in providing in-house and public training, as well as private consulting, Neverest have an impressive client list of public accounting firms, professional institutes and well-known corporations.
To promote their national standing and emphasise their professional leadership skills, Neverest needed a highly polished website that mirrored their impressive credentials to their high level clients.
Cornerstone Digital identified a number of problems with this website. One problem was that Neverest's website was old and drab, completely unexciting and uninspiring with cliché stock imagery. Other issues were poor navigation and badly written content – which did not clarify their services well to clients – and was unresponsive on all mobile devices.
Despite being a successful and professional company, their website was not generating the expected number of leads – clearly the look and feel of their website was having an impact on potential clients.
A complete redesign and redevelopment of their website was long overdue. So Cornerstone Digital designed a new, fresh and streamlined website with a fun educational feel that promoted Neverest's position as a leader in the professional development and training sector.
The redevelopment included installing a content management system (CMS) so that content could be updated easily, search engine optimisation (SEO), an overhaul of the site's navigation, revamped and well written content, and stimulating and inspiring imagery.
Neverest now have a unique and fresh website, designed by Cornerstone Digital, which stands out against their competitors. It has a fun and exciting feel and is easy to navigate. Their content is now positioned for maximum exposure, is well spaced and easily readable. Their site is no longer boring and confusing.
With a 40% increase in traffic to their new website, Neverest had to hire more staff to deal with all the new leads they have been generating!

Chancery Clarifies Standard for Proportional Indemnification of Corporate Directors and Officers
By Francis Pileggi on November 1, 2021
The recent Delaware Court of Chancery opinion in Evans v. Avande, Inc., C.A. No. 2018-0454-LWW (Del. Ch. Sept. 23, 2021), provided much needed clarification for the rather unsettled nuance of indemnification under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding when indemnification can be proportionate to the extent that the party seeking indemnification was not 100% successful in the underlying litigation.
Brief Background:
This case involved a request for mandatory indemnification under DGCL Section 145 based on what the court described as a "novel theory of proportional indemnification." The plaintiff argued that he should be indemnified for his "partial success" on fiduciary duty claims against him because the damages awarded to his former company were much less than the company originally sought.
Basic Principles:
The court provided a very helpful primer on the basics of indemnification under DGCL Section 145. In particular, the court explained that Section 145 grants corporations the discretion under subsections (a) and (b) to indemnify officers or directors where a minimum standard of conduct is met. The permissive language of Section 145(a) and Section 145(b) provides that indemnification may be available to an officer or a director if she is found to have acted in good faith.
By contrast, Section 145(c) contains mandatory language providing for an entitlement to indemnification. Under Section 145(c), whether an individual acted in good faith, or what she perceived to be in the best interest of the corporation, is irrelevant. The court explained that: "Section 145(c) is triggered when a covered person prevails in a proceeding that is covered by Section 145(a) or 145(b)."
The court further clarified that indemnification is compulsory where: "a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding" (citing Section 145(c), and where that person was made a party to such action "by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer . . . of the corporation." (citing Section 145(a) – (b)).
The court emphasized that to satisfy the statutory prerequisite for mandatory indemnification "success" does not mean exoneration, and a corporate official "need not have been adjudged innocent in some ethical or moral sense." See footnotes 39 and 40 and related text.
Highlights of Decision:
The most noteworthy aspects of this decision are the parts where the court addresses the standard for "proportionate indemnification" based on "partial success."
The court observed that it was not aware of any authority where "partial success" was analyzed based on the percentages of damages the prevailing party recovered against an indemnitee. The court held that such an approach was "unworkable" in addition to being unprecedented; that is: to define partial success for indemnification purposes based on the proportion of damages recovered on a single claim. Such an approach would be untethered from the policy at the root of Section 145 because the overarching purpose of Section 145 is to encourage capable persons to serve as corporate directors knowing that expenses incurred by them will be borne by the corporation they serve. The court added that a director adjudged to have acted in bad faith in breach of his duty of loyalty can hardly assert that he is entitled to indemnification for a claim where the director's integrity that the policy is intended to uphold while serving as a director, was found lacking.
Moreover, the court cited to other cases for the prevailing view that Delaware courts have made a determination on whether a person was successful for purposes of being entitled to indemnification "on a claim by claim basis," as opposed to determining the percentage of damages that was awarded compared to the amount of damages that was initially sought. See footnotes 48 – 52 and accompanying text.

On the Bum
By Otis Ferguson
Somebody in Boots, by Nelson Algren. New York: The Vanguard Press. $2.50.
Hungry Men, by Edward Anderson. New York: Doubleday, Doran and Company. $2.
Both of these books are built around a subject that, once unknown to most of us, is quickly becoming almost as standard in background and situation as the older and more romantic themes of adventure: the life of men who live on the road, on the bum. Their vocabulary is familiar—sallies, sinkers, misery and punks, shacks and floozies, vag charges, de-lousers, reefers, redballs—but still strange; their various bits of action are predictable, but exciting at the same time. This because they are parts of a violent hard life and because the choice of such a subject for writing seems to demand a certain method of the writing itself; that it be done at close range, not only in the jargon but in the pitiless objective mood of the thing, with a great deal of fidelity to detail.
But vivid action against a natural, though little known, environment will not serve all the purposes of a novel. Nelson Algren writes most of his book with such a rash will to literary power that heads are rolling, sores running, eyes hanging by a slimy thread and intestines dragging all over the place, this whole effect being extended even into the duller pages by an indiscriminate rough-housing of images ("her nose sniffing elegantly, as though to spew green phlegm sunward"). Besides, his hero is too weak, inept and sheerly dumb to live, and in the rare intervals when he is not being kicked in the groin by enemies of the working class, it is arranged that he shall step on a loose board and, plop, kick himself. During most of the book he seems more a slug than a man, arousing no feeling of kinship or respect or affection—only pity. And pity of this sort is pretty thin slops to float a novel on.
Fortunately, by the endof the book Cass McKay is allowed to have a square meal and a friend, and to make something tangible out of himself. And other matters have been similarly cleaned up, including the author's prose, which is both lush and inept for chapters; "He felt the heart within him pumping, pumping momently." "Somebody in Boots" deals with matters that can't help being interesting for themselves when authentic; but it would make a fair book only if its author had thrown it out and used what he has apparently learned to write another.
As its title claims, Edward Anderson's book is about hungry men, but it is a rather polite book and they are not very hungry. A young man bums into New York and gets friendly with some of the seamen sleeping around Battery Park. A whole country full of men sleeping in parks—he thinks it rotten that something should not be done about this. But no violence; he can't agree with Boats (Boats comes through pretty solidly as a character, "short, and built like a fireplug"), who says communism might do it. After a brief job on an excursion steamer he becomes more disgusted, starts working with Boats in agitational work that ends in a demonstration before the Seamen's Institute: if the fat directors are a charitable institution, where is their charity? The directors are found to be elsewhere, the police not. The police find it necessary to kill someone. It is Boats, of course. The hero slips town, and ends up finally in Chicago, playing in a street band and ironically beating a rap by denouncing the International.
This is a well done, if episodic book, with a firm quiet realism and no particular destination. (There is a good sense of developing social consciousness in it, but that part of it is curiously unfinished, as though having served briefly as an excuse for the story and for timeliness, and the end is even suspicious.) It is the Doubleday-Doran prize book (sharing honors) and looks it—by which I mean simply that it will not shake anybody to his foundations or wound any feelings. It is not false, it is fairly new. It makes good reading.

Ramat Shlomo Back in the Headlines
The East Jerusalem settlement of Ramat Shlomo is back in the news. Indeed, it is the very same expansion plan that landed Ramat Shlomo in the news in 2010 – Plan 11085 – that is once again making headlines (a map of the plan can be viewed/downloaded here).
In March 2010, as many will no doubt recall, Israeli official sources trumpeted the approval of plans for 1600 new units in Ramat Shlomo during a high-profile, goodwill visit to Israel by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. For full background on that debacle, see our report, here, as well as our piece in foreignpolicy.com, "Jerusalem, settlements, and the "everybody knows" fallacy," which remains highly pertinent today.
Since that first crisis, Plan 11085 has bubbled up at various politically opportune (or inopportune, depending on one's perspective) times. This included in August 2011, when Israel's Minister of Interior announced (inaccurately) that the plan had been granted final approval. At that time, we characterized this announcement as "nothing short of a very public 'F- You' statement by the Netanyahu government, aimed at both the Obama Administration and the Palestinians." We also noted that, "Back when this came up in March 2010, the Israeli Government gave assurances that the plan would be indefinitely 'kicked down the road.' However, when it comes to East Jerusalem settlements, 'indefinite' appears to be a very elastic term."
Subsequently, in December 2012, Plan 11085 was granted (actual) final approval, in the context of a deluge of East Jerusalem settlement approvals. As of this writing, that final approval has not yet entered into effect. This is because the government has, thus far, refrained from formally publishing the approval (the last legally required step for the plan to come into effect).
What Happened on Sunday, August 25th
On Sunday, August 25th, 2013, the Jerusalem Municipality's Finance Committee approved funding (62.4 million shekels , or around 17 million USD) to develop the infrastructure for Plan 11085 – that is, to break ground and lay the actual groundwork for construction that will nearly double the size of the existing settlement.
Specifically, the Committee approved an agreement under which the Jerusalem Municipality and the Israel Land Authority (an organ of the Government of Israel, under the authority of the Ministry of Housing) agreed that infrastructure for the 1500 new units in Ramot Shlomo (previously the project was approved for 1600 units, but certain modifications were made in the course of the approval process) will be built by the Moriah Municipal corporation at an overall cost of 236 million shekels, of which 25% will be funded from the Municipality's Irregular (Development) Budget. It appears that 20% of the remaining costs will be recovered by the development's purchasers, with the rest funded by the government of Israel and municipal subsidies.
What Happens Now
Nothing happens now, at least not immediately. As noted above, Plan 11085 was approved by the Regional Committee in December 2012, but has not yet entered into effect. As a result, work cannot (legally) begin on anything related to the project, including infrastructure – notwithstanding the action taken by the Jerusalem Municipality's finance committee on Sunday. And since Plan 11085 has not yet come into effect, it is unlikely that the budgetary allocation will be expended this year. However, it isn't unusual for allocations under the Irregular Budget to be extended from year to year.
Why Now, and Why This Was News
Today, any development relating to settlement approvals in Jerusalem would likely make the news. Given the major settlement approvals announced in the run-up to the prisoner release, additional approvals are especially unwelcome and problematic, and feed a public narrative that this Israeli government's intention is to exploit peace talks to undermine the two-state solution on the ground. Add to this the fact that this latest approval pertains to Ramat Shlomo and, not only that, to the very same Ramat Shlomo project that was the center of the 2010 crisis, and this latest announcement was all but guaranteed to generate headlines and cause serious consternation not only in Ramallah, but in Washington and in EU capitals.
As for the question of timing, the decision to approve funding for Ramat Shlomo (as well as the decision taken at the same meeting to fund Israeli projects in Silwan, discussed separately) is most likely linked to Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat's efforts to woo the Haredi vote – which he desperately needs if he is going to win the upcoming Jerusalem mayoral election. And it should be recalled that the Ramat Shlomo project will provide housing geared to be marketed exclusively to the Haredim. Moreover, these actions enable Barkat to flaunt his "I-will-build-in-spite-of Kerry-and-Obama" credentials for the benefit of his right-wing constituents (in an election where far right-wing elements are actively seeking to outflank him).
At the same time, this approval cannot be viewed strictly as a Jerusalem municipal matter. The plan would not and could not have been moved on without the support and/or pressure of the Israel Land Authority (ILA). The ILA, it should be recalled, is run by Bentzi Lieberman, the former head of Council of Settlements of Judea and Samaria (known as the Yesha Council), and is formally under the authority of the Ministry of Housing and Construction. Given the ILA's involvement in Sunday's decision, the move to push ahead with Ramat Shlomo should be understood at least in part as a declaration of intent, insofar as the ILA and the Ministry of Construction are concerned. And it should be assumed that to the extent that the ILA and the Ministry of Construction have authority in this matter, implementation of Plan 11085 is coming down the pike.
What Bibi Knew, and What He May Do Next
Did Netanyahu have knowledge of the Jerusalem Municipality's plans to approve the Ramat Shlomo financing? Probably not, although it can't be entirely ruled out. But if he didn't know, it is only because he has created ground rules that allow things like this to happen without his advance knowledge or consent. As we wrote back in March 2010, when the question of what Netanyahu knew was likewise being asked, "One would think that [given the various settlement fiascos that had already occurred] senior officials in the Prime Minister's office would by now have demanded that, as a matter of course, they review the agendas for the planning committees in advance. Failure to do so at this stage of the game can only be viewed as gross negligence or, worse yet, a deliberate policy of preferring not to know, so as to not be expected to act."
It should be recalled that in the run-up to the recent prisoner release, Netanyahu let loose a flood of significant settlement announcements. Netanyahu was perhaps surprised by the vehemence of the international response to his announcements, and it seems reasonable to imagine that, assuming he has more planned approvals awaiting announcement, he will hold them until the run-up to the next prisoner release. That is, he won't use his political ammunition until it makes sense for him to do so. In that context, it would make sense to expect that Netanyahu may move to "remedy" Plan 11085's current "approved-by-not-legally-in-effect" status in the run-up to one of the coming rounds of prisoner releases.
Spoilers Are On the Move & the Credibility of Peace Efforts Is at Risk
In the interim until the next prisoner release, the field is wide open to the various spoilers and provocateurs, most prominently Housing Minister Uri Ariel and Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat and their fellow travelers on the right. They are complemented by those activists and journalists who may sometimes allow themselves to be spun by these same spoilers and provocateurs, such that they then hype non-events into manufactured crises. It may well be that the current fracas around Ramat Shlomo is an example of this dynamic, and a sign of what to expect in the coming period.
Had someone in the Prime Minister's office picked up the phone on Sunday morning and called someone inside the Jerusalem Municipality, as they have no doubt had occasion to do numerous times in recent months, the Ramat Shlomo-related item could easily (and at little cost in terms of political capital) been taken off the agenda. Regrettably, that didn't happen, and a (so far) minor crisis was born. Now that this approval had made headlines, it becomes another test of whether the U.S. and the international community can reassure the Palestinians that they will not permit peace talks to become nothing more than handy cover for Israel to get away with using settlements to undermine the two-state solution.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Trade Out of Poverty (APPG TOP) is undertaking an inquiry into the UK's Africa Free Trade Initiative (AFTi), which was launched by the Prime Minister five years ago.
Evidence gathered by the inquiry will be synthesised into a report, which will be published and presented to the Prime Minister and the Government ministers from the Department for International Development (DFID), Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) and Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS).
For more information about the Inquiry into Africa Free Trade initiative, please click here.
How can trade policies and trade facilitation systems in Africa be designed to further the goals of wealth creation, employment and poverty reduction, taking into account the growing importance of the digital economy in world trade?
What are the key opportunities and challenges for boosting trade in Africa, and with the rest of the world, in specific sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and services? What factors would allow African exports in these sectors to be more competitive and capture more value?
How can we ensure that trade development in Africa is pro-poor and equitable for women and men? Are special measures and types of investments needed for the informal sector, for SMEs, and for promoting women's participation in trade in African countries?
What is the role for development partners like the UK in boosting trade and investment in Africa, both through aid-for-trade initiatives and through promoting two-way trade and investment with African countries? What approaches have worked well in this area so far and what more could be done? Building on AFTi, could the UK take a more ambitious and longer term approach in the future?
We also welcome submissions which focus on a particular topic under the broader umbrella of trade and investment in Africa (e.g. informal cross-border trade, women & trade, etc).
Please state clearly whether the submission is from yourself in a personal capacity or sent on behalf of an organisation.
Total 3,000 words maximum in length, no more than six sides of A4 paper.
Use font Calibri or Arial, size 10 throughout the document.
Include a short summary of the evidence in bullet point form.
Document saved in Word or PDF.
The call for evidence will close on Friday 8th April 2016.

The Supreme Court "Tailors" EPA's GHG Permitting Program
Yesterday, Justice Scalia, writing for a majority of the United States Supreme Court, invalidated EPA's greenhouse-gas (GHG) regulations to the extent they require stationary sources to obtain a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and/or Title V major source permit based solely on the source's GHG emissions. The Court, however, also validated EPA's extension of "best available control technology" (BACT) requirements to GHG emissions at sources already subject to PSD requirements based on criteria pollutant emissions (so-called "PSD-anyway" sources). Thus, while EPA's authority to require BACT controls for GHGs at so-called PSD-anyway sources was upheld, the broad scope of authority claimed by EPA was significantly reduced. The case, Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA ("UARG"), No. 12-1146, is a significant development in EPA's efforts at regulating GHGs in the absence of Congressional action and, as discussed below, raises a number of important issues and questions.


Sincere condolences to the family of the late Shadrack Ngema aka Magubane of Emzini Wezinsizwa fame.
Professor Nhlanhla Khubisa, The NFP Secretary General, said "The NFP National Executive Committee expresses it's condolences to the family, relatives, friends and fans of the Late Shadrack Ngema who was affectionately known as Magubane - The tradional healer (inyanga) in the SABC series known as Emzini Wezinsizwa. Shadrack Ngema was a household name and a prolific actor. He contibuted immensely to the Arts and Culture industry and he brought laughter to all those who watched him play on TV paticularly as Magubane the traditional healer. He also had some vast experience of being an actor, having acted on plays/casts like Shaka Zulu. Mr Shadrack Ngema also acted on many plays on radio stations like Ukhozi FM. He was also a radio announcer of note. He will be sorely remembered by many people as a kind, humble and multi- talented man.
On behalf of The National Freedom Party NEC and all structures of our Party I convey condolences to all the people of South Africa who were positively impacted by the life of Shadrack Ngema. The NEC also conveys its condolences to his colleagues at SABC - Ukhozi FM. May his family, relatives, friends, colleagues and fans, find comfort and solace in knowing that all South Africans do care and pray for them at this time of bereavement. May his soul rest in peace"
NFP on 16 Days of activism against women and children abuse.
NFP National Spokesperson Prof Nhlanhla Khubisa said, on behalf of the National Executive Committee of the NFP, ' As the country begins a campaign of 16 days of Activism against Women and Child Abuse, the NFP National Executive Committee would wish to call upon all South Africans to intensify the war against women and child abuse. We have seen children and women, especially the elderly women who are usually left alone in their homes being sexually harassed, molested or raped which is a gross violation of their basic human right and it is demonstration of inhumanity, cruelty and insensitivity. The NFP condemns any form of human trafficking especially that of our girls. We call upon all South Africans to stand up, expose and isolate rapists and abusers from their midst. The NFP condemns all forms of domestic violence including patriarchal and chauvinistic tendencies. The NFP calls upon the police to arrest those who abuse women and children, and they have to be prosecuted and harsh sentences must be meted out against them. The NFP also calls upon the government to conduct a referendum on death penalty: the South Africans must speak out and express their feelings about how they would feel about the capital punishment being brought back.

The Fall Of Kids Company
Up until recently, many observers of the charity sector would have viewed the youth support charity Kid's Company as a raging success. Its charismatic founder, Camila Batmanghelidjh, had the ear not just of the press but the Prime Minister, who wholeheartedly supported the cause. Donations rolled in from City investors, and high-profile friends like Coldplay, who gave £8million to Kids Company. In 2013, estimates pegged the charity's income at a little over £23million.
All that money has gone. Reports note that Kids Company employees had not been paid since May. The only reason that their July paychecks went through was because an emergency grant supplied for restructuring was instead dipped into for day-to-day running costs.
Meanwhile Batmanghelidjh has been forced to leave Kids Company–her departure was a major condition of the new grant going through. Disturbing stories are emerging about the "help" that the charity was providing to the vulnerable kids under its care, and allegations of abuse at its South London premises are also coming out of the woodwork.
The real story of what went on at Kids Company is yet to emerge, although the horror stories of deprived kids treating the place as a bank, popping in once a week to grab envelopes of cash, are eye-bulging stuff (for more on that, I recommend Harriet Sargeant's article in the Telegraph). Batmanghelidjh's insistance on using discounted and in some cases Victorian-era thinking on the neurological links between poverty and abuse to guide the work Kids Company was doing haven't helped the cause either.
Things are only going to get worse, as Kids Company announced it was closing its doors on Wednesday night. Batmanghelidjh's golden touch has soured, and her pal David Cameron, who waved through that final loan despite objections from the Department of Education, has remained silent on the fall of his favourite charity. So too has his gaff-prone Minister For Civil Society, Rob Wilson, whose office deals particularly with charities and the voluntary sector. There's more to this silence than embarrasment at the connection with a failed charity, though.
The fall of Kids Company is yet another nail in the coffin of Cameron's prized Big Society. As a favoured partner, Batmanghelidjh was vocal in her distaste for the way traditional children's services were run. She collaborated with the Evening Standard in 2014 on a project callng for root and branch redesign of the system. In the article accompanying that launch, Kids Company was described as an organisation that "essentially mops up the mess social services fail to deal with." A bit rich, as the partnership between charities and the public sector was the whole point of Cameron's great vision. And of course, as the charity shutters, a fairly huge mess has just been dumped back into social service's lap.
Once again, we see how the notion of the Big Society founders when placed under real-world scrutiny. Kids Company was reliant on public money, and had major issues both financially and with its entire mission statement. Yet it was held up as a paragon of the way two sectors could work together. It's saddening that many charities that aren't headed by a founder with the connections, political nous and sheer charisma as Batmanghelidjh have been overlooked for funding, while the government continued to pour money into a black hole.
What all this means for the kids of South London who were under the care of Kids Company is worryingly vague. We should not applaud the fall of the charity, but its failure has implications for the Third Sector as a whole, particularly in the light of increased scrutiny into the way they raise funds. If David Cameron's favourite charity couldn't make it, what chance do the rest of us have?

The Isle of Man has a variety of fresh water fish, which include: Salmon, sea trout, brown trout and rainbow trout. To fish freshwater you will need a licence.
The main rivers of the Isle of Man are the Glass, Dhoo, Neb, Silverburn, Santon and Sulby.
Salmon and sea trout start in late summer and can be caught on the fly or spinner, many local anglers prefer worm fishing.
Permission must be sought to fish on private land, but do not be put off as there is plenty of open water with good catches to be had. Many of the best rivers flow through Manx National Glens and are accessible to visitors and locals alike.
