Contact our specialist Mediation Solicitors
Like arbitration, mediation is an informal method which can be employed to settle disputes outside of Court.
A mediator is an individual with a neutral position, who is appointed with the consent of both parties. The mediator will work with both parties in an attempt to reach a fair agreement. The mediation process is entirely confidential, and each case is treated fairly. This method can be used for property disputes, debt disputes and contractual disputes for example.
Types of Mediation
A wide range of private and commercial clients use mediation as a form for resolution.
-Commercial disputes
-Business partnership disputes
-Construction disputes
-Breaches of contract
-Welfare disputes
-Professional negligence
-Medical negligence
-Family disputes
-Inheritance-Will disputes
-Divorce disputes
-Child maintenance disputes
What to expect from the Mediation Process
Mediation is an informal and unstructured procedure; it generally begins with.
-The proposal to mediate, followed by a discussion among the conflicting parties and reached with an agreement to mediate.
-Both parties will then select and agree upon an individual who will take on the role of mediator.
-Then the time, location and cost of the mediation will be settled between parties.
-Initial meetings will be conducted, this will be to identify the central issues that needs solved, organising the documents for the mediator to access, and the initial agenda.
-on the first day of Mediation, both parties may proceed with a joint session to present the issues before the mediator. They can be accompanied by their solicitors, and any relevant witnesses.
-This will be followed by private sessions between the Mediator and each party and their potential solicitor.
-The mediator may conduct further joint sessions if necessary to reach a mutual agreement.
-The terms of settlement will be presented by the Mediator and agreed between the parties, this will then be recorded and signed by both parties in a written agreement.
The written agreement represents a new contract between the parties.
When can mediation be used?
Mediation can be used in cases to minimise the cost attached to settling a dispute. It is effective in cases that require speedy settlement.
Mediation is also a positive alternative with clients who are business partners and wish to maintain their business relationship. This is more possible to achieve through mediation due to it is informal and out-of-court nature.
Ultimately, mediation aims to achieve a mutual settlement for the interests of both parties and their business interests, rather than presenting and conforming to their legal obligations.
When can Mediation be explored during a dispute?
Mediation can be used at any stage of a dispute. It can be the first option that parties pursue if they wish to reach an informal settlement out of court, then mediation would be the best option. Mediation can also be used during arbitration, both parties have the right to discontinue arbitration and seek mediation, if they wish to reach a settlement sooner.

Q: Add tick marks to jQuery slider? How do I add tick marks to the jQuery slider? Say I have values from 1 to 10, how I can I add a tick at each value?
I've seen similar posts on S.O. but they all suggest plug-ins, and I would like to hard code it due to a lot of interactivity with other elements.
Thanks!

A: here is a simple solution assuming that slider interval = 1.
function setSliderTicks(){
    var $slider =  $('#slider');
    var max =  $slider.slider("option", "max");
    var spacing =  $slider.width() / (max -1);

    $slider.find('.ui-slider-tick-mark').remove();
        for (var i = 0; i < max ; i++) {
            $('').css('left', (spacing * i) + 'px').appendTo($slider);
        }
}

.ui-slider-tick-mark{
display:inline-block;
width:2px;
background:black;
height:16px;
position:absolute;
top:-4px;
}

A: Similar to this SO Question.  The answer from Mortimer might help.
Although there is no official way of doing it yet, it'd be nice to have it baked in the jQuery UI slider.

A: Thanks Code-Toad. I modified your code to work with percents instead of pixels, so now it's immune to window-resize:
Javascript:
function setSliderTicks(){
    var $slider =  $('#slider');
    var max =  $slider.slider("option", "max");
    var spacing =  100 / (max -1);

    $slider.find('.ui-slider-tick-mark').remove();
    for (var i = 0; i < max ; i++) {
        $('').css('left', (spacing * i) +  '%').appendTo($slider);
     }
}

CSS:
.ui-slider-tick-mark{
    display:inline-block;
    width:2px;
    background:black;
    height:16px;
    position:absolute;
    top:-4px;
}

A: Thanks Arie Livshin and CodeToad. The previous code assume that the min value is always 1. I edited the code to work with min values too.
$("#users-slider").slider(
  {
    range: "min",
    value: 3,
    min: 3,
    max: 6,
    create: function( event, ui ) {
      setSliderTicks(event.target);
    },
  }
);

function setSliderTicks(el) {
    var $slider =  $(el);
    var max =  $slider.slider("option", "max");
    var min =  $slider.slider("option", "min");
    var spacing =  100 / (max - min);

    $slider.find('.ui-slider-tick-mark').remove();
    for (var i = 0; i < max-min ; i++) {
        $('').css('left', (spacing * i) +  '%').appendTo($slider);
     }
}

A: You could use a background image that has the marks in the right places - this would probably be the simplest way.

Mystery as 60 metal cubes with detailed inscriptions pulled from river
At first their discoverer thought the cubes were just random pieces of debris – until his young sons took a closer look and noticed the detailed inscriptions on them

Mystery surrounds the discovery of a large haul of metal cubes thought to show a sacred numerical inscription.
A magnet fisherman out with his two young sons at a river in Coventry, West Midlands, reeled in almost 60 of the cubes on Friday.
Will Read found the haul of engraved lead squares – believed to be connected to a mystical Hindu prayer ritual – while out sifting through shallow water, CoventryLive reports.
The faces of the objects, small enough to hold between finger and thumb, are set into neat grids with inscriptions thought to be in Sanskrit.
At first, Will, 38, thought the cubes were just random pieces of debris littering the bottom of the River Sowe in south Coventry.
But as he and sons Jackson, five, and Benjamin, seven, took a closer look they noticed the detailed inscriptions set onto the faces of the squares.
It's unclear what the cubes are but they may be religious (Image: BPM MEDIA)

Will said: "We were out magnet fishing as our daily activity in lockdown and we were at a relatively isolated spot.
"At first we found keys and pennies and other bits and bobs and then we looked down and saw what we thought were tiles.
"I was live-streaming to friends on Facebook and I bent down and started picking them up. I also thought they might be rocks. I showed them to the camera and as I looked back more and more kept appearing."
Tidying up the haul, Will posted images of the cubes on Facebook and content sharing website Reddit to try and find out more about his unusual catch.

Based on the responses, he believes the objects are connected to a Hindu prayer ritual.
"There were all sorts of stories flying around at first, the cubes really captured people's imaginations," Will said.
"What I learned is that they are Indian in origin and they show incantations for prayers which take effect when they are thrown in running water."
Other than a different face on one side, all of the cubes are identical, possibly because they contain a numerical formula to summon the protection of Rahu, described by the Shrivinayaka Astrology website as a planet with God-like powers.

Parks to employ security to crack down on Brits ignoring social distancing rules
Rahu's sphere of control includes thieves, magicians, snakes, poison, jails and isolated places, according to the resource.
Responses to the pictures on social media suggest the characters are in Sanskrit, the liturgical language of Hinduism, and show "yantra" – mystical diagrams that are used for worship.
One of most likely explanations comes from a beach combing website, where one contributor describes similar finds of "numerical planetary yantras made of solid lead".
A numerical formula contained within the cubes is said by the finder to relate to Rahu.
Worshippers who place the "so-called magic square" in running water receive his protection from "hidden enemies, wrong diagnosis of illness and deceit", according to the contributor.
However, the puzzle is far from complete, as no one has been able to put a date on the objects or to explain why so many would end up being thrown into a quiet river in Coventry.
Will has returned on two more occasions to the spot, the precise location of which he does not want to disclose, and has also found a silver coin which was lying by the cubes.
He now has almost 60 of the relics.
"The more I learn the stranger it becomes," Will said. "No one can explain why there would be so many of these cubes in one place. It feels incredibly unusual to have found so many."
Will now plans to go back to the river with a shovel to remove even more of the cubes.
He said: "I will get them appraised to find out more about what they are and how much they are worth. I could be sitting on an absolute pool of cash, or they could be worth nothing. But I won't make any decision on what to do with them until I've found out more about exactly what they are."

2 in 3 parents of kids under 6 feel exhausted 'before day even starts'
by Chris Melore
NEW YORK — Is it wrong to want a little me-time? Parenthood can bring all kinds of challenges and surprises – however three in five parents say they feel guilty for wanting a break sometimes.
A survey of 2,000 parents of children under six years-old found that two-thirds of them feel exhausted before the day even starts. In fact, 62 percent say they've felt pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations. Parental insecurity appears to be normal, as nearly half of respondents seek validation from others about how they parent (47%).
The challenges facing new moms and dads
The survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Babyganics, also revealed that a third of respondents find parenting more challenging than they initially expected. Nearly three-quarters (73%) add that becoming a parent was one of the most difficult phases of their lives.
More than a quarter feel like others are constantly judging them on their parenting decisions (28%). Meanwhile, the media doesn't help either – most parents agree that parenthood is often unrealistically portrayed (68%). When it comes to advertisements, two out of three parents feel like companies don't accurately depict their personal experiences as a mom or dad.
Further, three in five feel they have to hide their emotions as parents to avoid judgments by others. Another 55 percent ultimately feel alone in their parenting journey. Seven in 10 even wish they were better prepared before becoming parents (72%) and most are constantly looking for ways to become better caretakers (82%).
"Parents are constantly struggling with outside pressures – whether it be society, advertising, social media, marketing, or an unrealistic portrayal of perfection, and we acknowledge that we haven't been helping the conversation," says a Babyganics spokesperson in a statement. "Parenting and perfection don't mix. In fact, perfection was never on the table, and we're committed to being a part of the solution with authentic conversation and supporting parents as they really are."
Parents also agree that being responsible for chores and cleaning (33%), while juggling potty training (32%), and putting their kids to bed (31%) makes parenting difficult. Parenting has gotten so confusing and overwhelming for half of the poll, these respondents thought they'd never get the hang of being a mom or dad.
Can you be a 'perfect parent?'
Three in four agree that their journey to becoming a parent led them to sacrifice a part of their identity, with nearly one in four admitting that it's been hard not having time for themselves.
No matter the difficult feelings that arise, 84 percent are still proud of how far they've come in their parental journey. Four in five want to help other parents by letting them know there's no such thing as being a "perfect parent."
Despite the ups and downs, most feel confident in their parenting skills (79%), while three in four have even noticed themselves being more patient since becoming a mom or dad.
"As we challenge today's cultural conversation of what it means to be a 'perfect' parent – we embrace and include all definitions of family and acknowledge the daily challenges all families face. Parents need an ally in action to normalize and celebrate real families and real-life parenting," the spokesperson adds.

Summit County breaks ground on the Wintergreen workforce housing development
News | August 15, 2018
Deepan Dutta
ddutta@summitdaily.com
Construction begins at the site of the Wintergreen housing project along Highway 6, Wednesday, Aug. 15, near Keystone Ski Resort.
Hugh Carey / hcarey@summitdaily.com
The Village of Wintergreen in Keystone's affordable-housing development broke ground Wednesday morning with public officials and business leaders coming together to celebrate a partnership that made the project a reality. When finished, Wintergreen will add much needed units to Summit County's affordable-, workforce- and rental-housing inventory.
Attending the event were county officials, as well as representatives from Vail Resorts, Gorman & Company, the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority and other affiliated financial and logistical partners.
Wintergreen will eventually have 196 units, with 36 units devoted to low-income housing for families making 30 to 60 percent of the Area Median Income, 40 units leased to Vail Resorts for seasonal-worker housing, and the rest of the 120 units as rental units with rent capped at 100 percent of AMI. Wintergreen will have amenities available in other condo developments, including play areas, transit connections, recreational opportunities and even a community dog park.
Vail Resorts, the landowner, partnered with residential construction firm Gorman & Company to lease the land and build the development, while the county provided a $300,000 loan and worked with CHFA to bring in the state and federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit funding necessary to get the project to the $15 million funding goal. Residents applying for workforce housing will need to work at least 30 hours a week in the county to qualify.
Gorman's Colorado Market president Kimball Crangle said that the low-income and seasonal units are expected to be delivered in fall 2019, with the other 120 units finishing in the next phase at a later date. Crangle added that the Wintergreen development as a whole offers a "spectrum of affordability" for people working in Summit.
"Knowing the scarcity of housing in Summit County, we are very honored to be working on the project," Crangle said. "We deeply appreciate our relationships with Vail Resorts and Summit County, and we're really excited to get building."
Geoff Buccheister, vice president and general manager of Keystone Resort, said that Vail Resorts recognized the need for housing for its employees and the community as a whole. Wintergreen will be located 2 miles from Keystone Resort, and the land lease deal gives Vail a 10-year master lease for the 40 seasonal units. Buccheister saw the deal as a win-win-win for everyone involved.
"As a landowner and a business owner in the area, we have the ability to solve problems in the community," Buccheister said. "Vail Resorts have committed to investing into our housing and our people, and we're proud of that. This is a great place to live and we want to have the assurance that our team, employees and community can have more options available to them."
Buccheister added that he was very happy with the collaboration involved in getting the Wintergreen deal together.
"Hopefully, this private-public partnership will be a good model in the future for other resorts we operate," he said.
Commissioner Dan Gibbs said that the county government is thrilled to see Wintergreen becoming a reality.
"It's really exciting," Gibbs said. "Wintergreen is going to have a mixture of incomes, and it will help us with the huge need for folks in the county who are not making that much money. We're excited that the county could be a partner."
Summit County Combined Housing Authority director Jason Dietz said that the county still has big demand for units between 60 and 80 percent of AMI, but Wintergreen will go a long way to helping lower-income residents in the interim.

Scenes from Canada's First Indigenous-Owned Railway
The Tshiuetin bridges the vast distance between southern and remote central Quebec
December 7, 2017 June 23, 2020 - by Chloë EllingsonChloë Ellingson Updated 12:56, Jun. 23, 2020 | Published 10:24, Dec. 7, 2017This article was published over a year ago. Some information may no longer be current.
Photograph by Chloë Ellingson
Tshiuetin, Innu for "the wind of the north," provides the only viable means of travel to central Quebec. Bridging the gap between the lower half of the province and the town of Schefferville, which isn't accessible by road, the railway was originally built in the 1950s to support nearby mines. At the time, it fit neatly into the narrative often associated with Canadian railroads—one of nineteenth-century nation building, from one resource-extraction town to another. Today, offering employment, economic independence, and affordable travel to Schefferville's residents, Tshiuetin sustains the lives of hundreds of people whose connections to the region far outlasted the life of an iron-ore mine.
Schefferville lies near where the boreal forest meets the tundra, on land long traversed by Innu from the south and Naskapi from the north. But when the town was first formed in 1955 by the Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) to support nearby projects, First Nations were a minority, outnumbered by those who had come from elsewhere to work. Schefferville had 4,500 residents then, as well as its own movie theatre, community centre, hospital, and Hudson's Bay department store. Locals, including the First Nations on whose land the company was operating, worked in the mines, in town, and on the railway.
After the IOC mines closed in 1982 due to falling iron-ore prices, workers moved elsewhere, and the town's population plummeted. The IOC dismantled much of what it had built, leaving vast vacant lots where buildings used to be. Many Innu families moved from Lac-John, a reserve just east of town, to Schefferville, and the two communities became virtually indistinguishable. In 2005, the IOC sold the portion of the railway north of Emeril Junction to the Innu nations of Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam and Matimekush-Lac John and the Naskapi nation of Kawawachikamach for $1, and Tshiuetin Rail Transportation Inc. was born.
Running a railway company can be challenging, particularly with the region's harsh winter conditions, and it seemed not everyone had faith in a First Nations–owned enterprise. "In the railway industry, I know it was said that we wouldn't last more than three months," says Tshiuetin's operations manager, James Bérubé, who spent part of his childhood in nearby Kawawachikamach. The company has now been in operation for nearly twelve years, and it employs roughly fifty people full-time, with an additional thirty for seasonal work. Most employees live in the communities connected by the tracks.
In the summer, passengers from elsewhere regularly board the Tshiuetin—an Australian man in the mining business, a lone traveller keen to see a remote town, German artists exploring the region—but generally, passengers are regulars. Residents from the north head south to visit family and friends or to go shopping. Those from the south visit hunting grounds along the railway or vacation in the Schefferville area. Depending on the season, adventurers use the railway as a point of access to the mountainous walls near the southern part of the track, a coveted spot for ice climbing, or to the mighty George River. For those who see Tshiuetin as a means of economically reviving the region, rumours of mine prospecting north of Schefferville spark hopes of one day extending the railway.
Former residents and mine workers from the '60s still congregate for yearly reunions, which usually take place in more accessible locations, such as Montreal or Vancouver. Few make it back regularly—though some do, including Yves Larose, a fifty-two-year-old teacher from Montreal. He and his three sons often visit the mining town where he grew up. "For me, what I liked about life in Schefferville—the forest, friends, the freedom—all of that still exists."
The last stretch of the Tshiuetin's journey south from Schefferville to Sept-Îles crosses from Labrador into the mountainous regions of southern Quebec. Passengers press their phones to the windows, anticipating the eventual return to cell service.
With a maximum speed of about seventy kilometres per hour, the train takes more than twelve hours to reach its destination. There are many reasons for the Tshiuetin to slow down or stop: freight trains have priority on the rails, and some passengers request to be dropped off along the way.
Most passengers come prepared for the long train journey north. In the morning, regulars purchase a last Tim Hortons coffee in Sept-Îles—they know they won't have another chance until they return from Schefferville. Families travelling together bring blankets and sheets to cover their seats, food and drinks for the day, phones and tablets, and even the occasional monitor for group movie viewings or video games. Before the train leaves the station, each passenger car—hosting a total of around fifty people—will have been transformed into a series of multicoloured worlds.
Tshiuetin conductors say the journey can be divided into three stages by scenery: river valley, mountain, and boreal forest. Passengers used to be able to spot caribou though as the population of the George River herd declines, those sightings have become increasingly rare.
There are no smoke breaks during the train ride apart from the occasional unscheduled stop. So before the train leaves Sept-Îles or Schefferville, passengers often pause beside the tracks, enjoying one last cigarette before the whistle blows.
A man walks toward his cabin after being dropped off beside the tracks while the train continues to its final destination.
In Sept-Îles, passengers line up in front of the baggage cars, which are filled with suitcases, caged pets, hunting provisions, canoes, and hiking equipment.
Much of the infrastructure that existed in Schefferville during the town's mining boom has been torn down, but some establishments remain—such as Restaurant Bla Bla, located on the main road. For many passengers, getting to Schefferville means finally coming home.

Vishrant is an Australian born spiritual teacher who has dedicated his life to raising consciousness in all who are interested. He teaches a Buddhist way of life which he calls 'the way of the heart'.
Vishrant holds Satsang weekly on Fridays from 7:30pm-8:30pm.
A short 5-10 meditation to begin, prior to Satsang starting. Simply relax the body and watch the breath.
Typically a discourse or teaching will be given by Vishrant on a variety of topics related to developing conscious awareness.  Followed by questions and answers.
As mentioned the topics covered will widely range and many people take the opportunity to look a little deeper at the challenges they are encountering in life and the  obstacles standing in the way to live a full, happy and conscious life.
Allow yourself to arrive at least 10-15 mins earlier to settle into a meditative space.
You'll be greeted at the door and seating or cushions are provided for your comfort.
Shoes are removed at the door so please bring along socks with you to wear inside.
We ask that if you have any flu symptoms to please bring along a towel in order to help with containing symptoms by coughing into the towel.
If there are dates in which public Satsang will not be held, this website will be updated with a notice naming those dates.
Attendance is by donation.  Suggested donation is $20.
Openness is the opposite to closure or resistance. When there is no internal resistance there is just openness. Openness can't be measured in positive terms because it is actually an absence of closure. In true openness, there is the experience of being nobody a nothingness. This is a very beautiful experience.
Enlightenment contrary to popular belief is not something that happens to you, it occurs when there is an absence of you. When this that is aware of the mind (pure awareness) becomes aware of itself, in other words, beingness. The experience of this for the mind can be one of an oceanic feeling, non duality everything being one or an absence of anything at all . Emptiness in form, emptiness being in non form. If this beingness being aware of itself lasts for a short time it is called satori, if it is ongoing it is called awakening. Enlightenment can only truly be in this moment for this is the only moment that is real.
Meditation is being present to what is real, the only thing that is not real is your mind, its thoughts, its emotions, its dreams. So by having awareness aware of anything other than the mind, you are in meditation.
Being present to what is real needs to be established, what is real is anything but your thoughts. Your thoughts are not real they are dream. Meditation is putting awareness on that, that is real. Your breath is real. Allow your awareness to focus on your breath, watch the inhale, the gap or space before the turn of the breath, the exhale of breath, the gap before the inward turn of breath. Simply let your thoughts go as they arise and keep brining your awareness to your breath. Keeping your eyes open and at a 45 degree angle (looking down). This meditation removes distractions which tend to take people into dream, such as eyes closed visual or audio guided meditation. Instead the intention is to slow down, be still and silent. Developing a mind that is detached from developing delusions and supporting aversion in order to become are of the silence and stillness that everything appears in.
All thought is dream, you may think these thoughts are real but in reality they are all dream, so in giving away thoughts for something that is real like the breath we are learning to surrender the dream for reality. In putting our awareness on what is real we are learning to truly live in the moment aware of what is real instead of what is dream and out of the moment. Mindfulness is the best way to regain reality from the dream you find yourself in. By mindfulness i mean being aware of what you are doing instead of being aware of what you are thinking. In other words being present to what is real instead of what is not real. In this way we can develop present moment awareness. Living in the now instead of in a mind dream.
Being here now but not in your mind, being in reality. It is being mindful of what is real, the only thing that is not real is the mind and its stories.
What is going beyond the mind?
The mind appears in beingness as everything does. When awareness becomes aware of itself (beingness) this is going beyond the mind, this is knowing self as reality.
What is the benefit in attending satsang?
Satsang reveals your true nature through the presence of an awakened teacher. Satsang also helps remove the illusions created by the mind. The qualities perceived after attending Satsang sessions are increased clarity and an effortless openness in which the mind can rest.
What do I need to do in Satsang?
Satsang is a meeting, which is generally question and answer between seeker and teacher. In this exchange, a transmission is possible from teacher to seeker.
Being honest and having internal integrity is vital during the exchanges within the group. The opportunity to see through the mind resides in your ability to have the courage to ask questions as the teacher reveals the obstacles that are in the way of enlightenment.
How do I best participate in Satsang?
Be present to the teacher and relax.
How do I know if I am advancing spiritually?
A good indicator is to see how open you are in life especially when things are becoming difficult, advancing is effortless equanimity whilst under pressure.
Do I need to attend all Satsang meetings to be involved in social engagements?
Social engagements are available to anyone who wishes to attend, though respect of the Sangha is required.
How do I get Vishrant's attention to ask him questions?
During the meetings Vishrant will invite questions or reports from seekers. Simply Namaste with your hands and you'll be attended to.

Wendy Williams ordered to pay ex Kevin Hunter $250K to find a new home
Patricia Schlein/WENN.com, Michael Carpenter/WENN.com
Wendy Williams and her ex Kevin Hunter have reached a financial agreement regarding his living arrangements. She must pay her cheating ex $250,000 to find another home, Page Six reports.
$250,000 won't buy much of a house in the wealthy enclaves of New York and New Jersey. But Hunter can use the cash as a down payment on a suitable place for himself and his baby mama Sharina Hudson.
Ryan Turgeon / Splash News
Page Six reports the former couple reached a financial agreement as part of their divorce proceedings, according to new court documents.
Williams must pay Hunter $250,000 so that he can "secure new living arrangements," in a city where a swanky apartment goes for $15,000 a month. Hunter was ordered to vacate their marital home in Livingston, New Jersey, which was put up for sale over the summer.
Johnny Nunez/WireImage
Wendy, 55, filed for divorce from Hunter after she learned that he fathered a baby girl with Hudson.
It took years for Wendy to finally admit her husband was cheating on her. Even then she chose to stay with him as he maintained two separate households on her coin.
Wendy recently took a jab at Hudson, who she says is "miserable" now that Hunter's income has taken a hit.
Derrick Salters/WENN.com
"Life is not what you think it is behind the scenes, trust me," Wendy said during Wednesday's Hot Topics segment. "Homegirl is miserable," said Wendy before imitating the woman rocking a crying baby. "That's what you get!"
Wendy wished Hunter well with his "new family" while insisting she couldn't get divorced from him quick enough.
"I want a divorce like yesterday, I want a divorce two months ago, three months ago. Whenever I found out, four months ago," she said.
Despite her newfound independence, Wendy apparently still has the hots for her ex and they remain friends.
"I want a divorce, and I want to be friends with Kevin. I mean, and not because we have a son but because that was real love. I still love him just not in that way."

At the beginning of May we finally completed our move out of American Steel Studios. We're still far from done with all the things we need to do to properly move into our studio, so things are not really in order for work yet, but we are getting some work done.
Though we've been doing a bunch of work here for a while, and David has made a lot of buckles almost exclusively on the new premises in the last few months, the first large piece completed in the new space was a table, made for on order for a customer through Artful Home.
As it happens, another, larger table, of a new style (within the same basic design) was the last large piece we completed at American Steel, this one for a friend and fellow artist. It has a new style of top, a multi-piece front, and is a different proportion, being a 36-inch high, 12-inch deep console table for the owner's front hall. I think it came out rather well.
It's beautiful! You guys are doing amazing work!


MANILA - As one of the keynote speakers at the 37th Annual Chest Convention of the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP), I talked about 'folk pulmonology', or patients' perspectives when it comes to their lung problems, in a 30-minute presentation on March 14, 2018.
Drawing from the work of Prof. Michael Tan and Prof. Anita Hardon, I introduced the talks with concepts like 'hiyang' and the idea that cough is a particularly "socially-disruptive" disease because it is both 'visual and auditory'. I stressed the value of language, referencing dying terms like dalahik and dahak that could enhance the specificity of history taking and help build rapport between doctors and patients. I also mentioned explanatory models such as the 'hot-cold syndrome': the lungs is viewed as a 'hot organ' and can therefore be affected by the cold.
I proceeded by presenting some insights, including the explanatory role of medicine: patients consult doctors not just to get well, but to find out what's happening in their bodies. I then concluded with a question: "What possibilities lie when we think of pulmonology not just as a profession that cures lung diseases, but one that allows patients to breathe better?"
Many thanks to Dr. Eric Moral and all the members of PCCP for giving me a chance to share my insights! This topic is something that only clinicians and anthropologists can do working together and I hope doctors will pursue the many research possibilities - towards "culture-guided medicine" in the Philippines.

LA's Top Dog May Get Historic Status
The nation's first Wienerschnitzel hot dog stand may soon be designated a Historic-Cultural Monument, which would make it the first drive-thru restaurant to be honored as a "significant and cherished historic resource" by the city of Los Angeles.
The city's Cultural Heritage Commission will tour the hot dog stand at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Gulf Drive in Wilmington on Thursday in preparation for a likely vote next month. If the CHC approves the request, the recommendation will go to the City Council for final approval.
Wienerschnitzel, which was known as Der Wienerschnitzel from its founding in 1961 until it dropped the "Der" in 1977, is the world's largest chain of hot dog restaurants. Its 350 restaurants in 10 states (plus Guam) sell 120 million hot dogs a year, according to the company.
The request to have the first Der Wienerschnitzel designated a Historic-Cultural Monument came from the family of company founder, John Galardi, who passed away earlier this summer. Councilman Joe Buscaino's staff initiated the nomination through a Council motion, and the Planning Department's Office of Historic Resources is preparing the nomination, according to OHR manager Ken Bernstein.
Buscaino's planning deputy, Alison Becker, told LandUseLA.com that the council office was happy to help with the request because Der Wienterschnitzel's origins are "a big deal here in Wilmington. ... We were really glad when the Planning Department staff agreed that it is a location that is worthy of a nomination."
Bernstein said the company's global reach has a lot to do with the nomination. "The significance cited in the motion is largely tied to this site's status as the first location of a significant large chain," Bernstein told LandUseLA.com.
The City currently has more than 1,000 Historic-Cultural Monuments, providing official recognition and protection for Los Angeles' "most significant and cherished historic resources," according to the Cultural Heritage Commission. If approved, this would be the 11th HCM in the Wilmington-Harbor City area.
Among the restaurants that have received the HCM designation in LA: the Original Pantry in downtown Los Angeles, the Brown Derby in Los Feliz, Yamashiro in Hollywood and the Munch Box in Chatsworth. But Der Wienerschnitzel would be the first honored restaurant with a drive-thru, which was a unique feature when the hot dog stand opened 53 years ago but has become ubiquitous with fast-food restaurants in recent decades.

Q: Why does using SkiaSharp in a ASP.NET Core Web API cause a crash? I am building an ASP.NET Core Web API project which will use SkiaSharp for rendering on the backend. The code works in a .NET Core desktop test application, but when we run the same code on the ASP.NET Core Web API project, the project crashes. The exception indicates it cannot find libSkiaSharp:
Unable to load shared library 'libSkiaSharp' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: liblibSkiaSharp: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The .csproj is referencing SkiaSharp (and related Nuget packages) yet there must be some file that isn't making its way to the compiled folder. How can I solve this problem?

A: This problem is discussed in the following github issue:
https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/964
To solve the problem I had to do the following:

*

*Install the SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux nuget package.

*Add the following to the dockerfile:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libfontconfig1
Note that after solving this problem I had an additional problem:
Unable to load shared library 'libHarfBuzzSharp' or one of its dependencies
To solve this, I installed HarfBuzzSharp.NativeAssets.Linux. I mention this in case anyone has the two errors like I did.


When wearing fitted clothes you have to make sure the shape and cut is just right for you body. lately I been wearing jackets without a shirt under due to the weather being up and down for the last couple of days. I paired a EXPRESS jacket with print pants from H&M.


I'm Carson, one handsome guy with a special story. See, I was rescued with quite the injury and had to have one of my front legs amputated. That doesn't slow me down at all, though. Any toy that tangles with me WILL be defeated. Feather toys or toys on a string are particular favorites. No toys gets by me! When not playing, I enjoy snuggling with both people and other felines. I'll cuddle up with you and may even give you some gentle kitty licks. I like other cats almost as much as I love people, and I'd be happy to be adopted to a home with another playful feline. Now, when you come out to FOHA, be sure to meet me. I'm likely to greet you upon your arrival, However, If you cannot find me, you may have to pick up a cat bed or blanket because I'm known for my hiding abilities. I'm not shy – no, I just LOVE to be warm! Whether curled up with another cat, in a sunny windows, or hiding under the blankets, I like being toasty! And I know I'll love being in a forever home.
Carson is sponsored by Justin Roth: In honor of my fiance Colton for his 25th birthday! We're new cat parents and are so grateful for the work of organizations like FOHA that help our furry friends find loving homes!

Professional and community involvement:
Interim executive director Jubilee Center of Midland, Centers (Kids First Program), Gifts of Hope (board member, marketing committee, volunteer), George W. Bush Childhood Home (board member), Boy Scouts of America (Pack 83 Popcorn Kernel), Lee High School Orchestra Booster Club (vice president), Rusk Elementary PTA (president), Junior League of Midland sustainer
How did you decide to serve the community as a volunteer at Centers (formerly Centers for Children and Families) and Gifts of Hope?
I learned about Centers while at a presentation given at Junior League and wanted to help in any way I could. I joined the Kids First program where I am able to witness parents reconnect with their children. I decided to volunteer at Gifts of Hope after benefiting from some of their programs while helping my grandfather through his battle with cancer. They were a blessing to my family when we needed it the most, and I wanted to pay it forward after he passed.
What talents and skills do you share with the community through your roles at Centers and Gifts of Hope?
I have had the chance to participate in a wide variety of community organizations, and through that I have strengthened my communication and leaderships skills. I also love the challenge that comes with new projects and the teamwork it takes to come up with a viable plan of action.
What unexpected lesson have you learned while serving as a volunteer and through your nonprofit work?
Sometimes the best thing you can do to help someone is to listen.
Why is volunteerism a priority for you?
Volunteering gives me the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself.
How long has Midland been your home, and why have you stayed?
My husband and I moved to Midland in January 2006 to be closer to family. We have stayed because we love the people and opportunities of this community. Midland is a wonderful place to raise our children.
What else would you like our readers to know about you?
My husband, Aaron, and I have been married for 15 years, and we have two children, Annabella, 15, and Marek, 10. I love estate sales and upcycling items I find at them. My favorite music is KPop.
"She is caring and supportive of the kids and the parents"
Myranda has been one of my rocks for Kids First volunteers. She is caring and supportive of the kids and the parents.
And I know that we aren't her only area of generosity or responsibility.
She is greatly appreciated.
Rebecca Arons, Kids First coordinator, Centers
"Her unselfish service ... makes her one of Midland's special angels"
Myranda Pachlhofer is a wonderful gift to the families she serves through the Kids First program of Centers for Children and Families. Myranda has given countless hours volunteering as a required observer in court-authorized visits between noncustodial parents and their children.
Myranda is thoughtful, caring and compassionate, and her unselfish service to families in need makes her one of Midland's special angels.
Fran T. Billingsley, former Kids First Coordinator
"Her giving spirit shines as she shares words of encouragement"
I met Myranda during a very difficult time in her life. Her grandfather had been diagnosed with cancer, and they came to Hope House to make arrangements for lodging while he was undergoing treatment. He was facing a difficult journey, and she was by his side every step of the way. You could see her great love for him in the way she took care of him. Myranda made sure he had everything he needed while he was fighting his battle. She was his caregiver, his supporter and his advocate.
Soon after Myranda's grandfather lost his battle to cancer, she was looking for ways to honor him. That's when she became a Gifts of Hope volunteer. She went to work right away making lunch for cancer patients at The Allison Cancer Center who received chemotherapy every Thursday.
Myranda is well-known to those she visits every week. She continues to honor her grandfather by offering them encouragement and friendship. Her giving spirit shines as she shares words of encouragement while serving others. Myranda even plays music aloud on her phone for the patients to enjoy.
Myranda now serves on the Gifts of Hope board, further honoring her dad by serving others. She is an important member of our team. Myranda works hard to make sure Gifts of Hope is successful in meeting the needs of cancer patients in the Permian Basin and knows firsthand the difference we are making in the community.
In Myranda's new role as The Jubilee Center's interim executive director, she immediately began to think of ways for both organizations to collaborate to make a difference in lives of our clients. I am thankful for Myranda and her service.
Fatima Castillo, Gifts of Hope, executive director

A little known and therefore not so widely enforced AdWords rule is Google's policy on double serving. You can't double serve on AdWords. This actually means you shouldn't double serve on AdWords although many people do.
What's double serving? Double serving is having two different AdWords creatives listing for the same keyword and for the same site. In fact, double serving has a broader ruling than that insofar as sites owned by the same company which sells the same thing are not allowed to run side-by-side in AdWords. Their AdWords accounts should be linked and only one AdWord should run. This rule is there to stop people simply setting up different sites and effectively owning the right hand-side of Google.
The catch is that it's not very clear that similar sites may be linked. Not every webmaster knows which big brand owns which other - heck, many webmasters would struggle to separate companies from brands.
The key is to stay in the know. If you have a client who, for example, is into loans - a very competitive PPC market - the know the other big loan players. Know which banks have a branded loan company in their umbrella. If you see branded loan offering running alongside the main bank for a loan keyword then that's a breach of Google's double serving policies.
The thing to do is to kick up a fuss. It won't make you popular with any of your campaign managers at Google but its a great way to cut swathes through your clients competition.
Sometimes the arguement comes up that the two sites look different. That's not enough. The sites must have different products and services.


A classic ham is the perfect main dish to any family gathering or holiday. Prepare this Baked Ham with Balsamic Brown Sugar Glaze for the hungry crowd!
Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of ham and does not touch bone or rest in fat. Cover loosely and bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135 degrees Fahrenheit (13 to 17 minutes per pound). About 20 minutes before ham is done, remove from oven. Pour drippings from pan. Remove any skin from ham. Mix brown sugar, vinegar and mustard; pat or brush on ham. Bake uncovered 20 minutes longer. Cover ham loosely and let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer reads 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Garnish with orange slices and cherries.


Furnaces, like other machines, must be serviced at predetermined intervals to make sure that the equipment operates in a smooth and desired manner. A reliable and long service life can be obtained by doing a little preventive maintenance. This could eliminate the requirement of expensive repairs and expensive energy bills which stems from small problems compounding into big and unmanageable ones through neglect.
A furnace, similar to other machines, needs professional maintenance. The householder can, however, do basic tasks like cleaning the air filters. These kind of filters stop unwanted materials like debris and dirt from entering blowers and damaging the different parts of the furnace. Places like North Aurora, subject to more battering from a hostile climate, require frequent unit servicing. The blower must also be cleaned on a regular basis.
It is essential to clean the ducts at the time of furnace cleaning. This permits the total system to perform more efficiently, which is reflected in reduced energy related expenses. The house is also kept clean as the blowers cannot throw the debris inside the residence. Zero growth of molds and minimal dust can be ensured by clean ducts. Furnace cleaning is done at Prestige.
Regular maintenance of the furnace will ensure that the equipment operates at peak levels for many years. Ignoring the maintenance requirements will entail higher running expenses. This will be accompanied by frequent system malfunctions and poor efficiency.


"The Ubuntu developers are in the process of deciding whether to enable binary-only drivers by default in their installation process, under certain limited circumstances. This decision process has prompted the latest wave in a conversation that's nearly as old as Linux itself. Some see this step as a compromise on the principles of freedom, and point out the numerous practical problems with binary drivers: lack of portability, dependence on the vendor to fix security flaws, dependence on the vendor to continue supporting your hardware, etc. Others take a pragmatic perspective, draw the line that Ubuntu will not cross, or point out that Ubuntu developers also care about the principles of freedom and intend to educate their users on the reasons for choosing open source drivers and hardware vendors that offer open source drivers..."

MusicArt is visual art created with music notation. It was conceived by James Plakovic in 1990. Each work is a playable composition that begins with a sketch that is transformed into an ink drawing and transcribed into a music notation program and orchestrated to produce a sound recording. A completed work is simultaneously a visual image and a musical composition.
MusicArt works are not typical musical compositions because the image dictates the music. The visual elements, such as size of the image, amount of detail and positioning on the staves determine the music rather than preconceived musical ideas or forms. The visual and musical elements are inextricably intertwined.
A media player will appear directly below all MusicArt visual images that have an accompanying music track. Listening to the musical track while viewing the visual art is how MusicArt is intended to be experienced.

Small Parish Program, Funded For Three Years
Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Missoula, Montana
Leadership 100 responded to the initiative of the Small Parish Subcommittee of the Finance Committee of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America in 2015 by funding a three-year Small Parish Program to stimulate the growth of new and struggling parishes throughout the Archdiocese. Grants in 2015 and 2017 each supported four parishes with $200,000 and $155,000, respectively.
Designed as a complement to the Home Mission Parish Program, also supported with Leadership 100 grants since the 1990s, and which supports priests assigned to new or turnaround parishes, the Small Parish Program funds the implementation of parish initiatives. Included are ministries and programs that bolster new parishes or reverse the downward spiral of struggling parishes in an effort to re-engage existing parishioners and reach out to Orthodox and non-Orthodox inquirers and non-inquirers.
The program is overseen by the Archdiocesan Committee for Small Parishes, still a Subcommittee of the Finance Committee, chaired by Dr. Louis Roussalis, a member of Leadership 100. The committee looks to the Archbishop in the Direct Archdiocesan District and the Metropolitans in each Metropolis to provide profiles of one or two proposed small parishes for consideration by the committee. The committee is comprised of one member from each Metropolis and the Direct Archdiocesan District.
After selection, the respective Hierarch provides updated financial statements and progress reports every six months for review and evaluation as to whether the parish is meeting goals for developing and improving stewardship, outreach, evangelism and membership. The selected parishes issue quarterly progress reports to the committee.
According to Dr. Roussalis, the program grew out of an idea developed in the Metropolis of Denver, which Metropolitan Isaiah often describes as a "Metropolis of small parishes". Dr. Roussalis further points out that "most parishes of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese are struggling to grow and, in some cases, struggling to survive. Unable to make long-term changes because of short-term needs, they continue to take measures that may provide short-term relief, but do not provide for long-term growth."
Four parishes were funded in 2015 and four in 2017. They included St. Peter the Apostle Greek Orthodox Church, Bronx, New York, in 2015; St. Elias the Prophet Greek Orthodox Church, Dubuque, Iowa, in 2015 and 2017; Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Missoula, Montana, in 2015 and 2017; Saint George Greek Orthodox Church, Prescott, Arizona, in 2015 and 2017; and Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Norwich, Connecticut, in 2017.

Movie Review: The Peanut Butter Falcon
Zack Gottsagen and Shia LaBeouf star in a scene from the movie "The Peanut Butter Falcon." The Catholic News Service classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. (CNS photo/Roadside Attractions and Armory Films)
John Mulderig
NEW YORK – Film fans generally and viewers of faith in particular will find much to appreciate in the heartwarming drama "The Peanut Butter Falcon" (Roadside). Themes of friendship, brotherhood and redemption are woven into a story that resonates with Gospel values.
With no family to care for him, Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome, finds himself living in a retirement home on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Much to the frustration of his sympathetic caregiver, Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), the state government has warehoused him there for the past two years for lack of a more suitable facility.
With the help of his feisty roommate, Carl (droll Bruce Dern), Zak escapes and takes to the road. He soon crosses paths with Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), a down-on-his-luck crab fisherman who's being pursued by two lowlife rivals, Duncan (John Hawkes) and Ratboy (rapper Yelawolf), out to settle a score with him.
Though Tyler, who's weighed down by a tragedy in his past, is initially gruff, the two gradually bond and Tyler agrees to help Zak achieve his dream of meeting his idol, a professional wrestler known as the Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). As the duo shares Tom and Huck-like adventures along the way to the grappler's hometown of Aiken, South Carolina -- where Zak hopes to be trained for the ring -- Eleanor is on their trail.
Directors and co-writers Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz handle their Southern Gothic-tinged material with a light and dexterous touch. The result is an aesthetically accomplished, implicitly pro-life movie that subtly but resolutely upholds the dignity of all.
A good deal of gritty talk, however, though justified by the context, probably puts this off-limits even for older teens, despite its valuable message. Parents who do decide to give the green light, though, will find many starting points for family discussions on important topics.
The film contains brief partial nudity, mature themes, a few uses of profanity, at least one rough term, pervasive crude and some crass language and a couple of obscene gestures. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.


A week ago I had the luxury of a Wednesday off and was heading to an early morning event in Cambridge. After a couple of hours I knew I'd be free so when Lucy invited me to come into John Lewis for a personal styling session- I jumped at the chance!
This is an hours appointment designed to instantly refresh your look or find that one special outfit.
This appointment lasts two hours and is designed to give your look a seasonal update. Being a two hour slot, it gives you chance to explore new styles and the latest trends to create a wardrobe that works together beautifully.
I was booked in for the style experience with Personal Stylist Denise. Prior to the appointment Denise had details on my dress size, clothing style and brands I like so that she could hand pick some pieces she felt would suit my dress sense and personality before I arrived. I was then greeted with a glass of bubbly before the styling session began- such heaven!!
I have to say I was rather intrigued by some of the pieces such as this pair of Mint Velvet fuscia pink paper bag trousers- a style I've seen a lot of but thought I couldn't pull off with my shape. It turns out I was wrong and they are actually super flattering!
There were also some lovely pieces from Joules and Jigsaw on the rail and also felt drawn to this awesome cactus print top from Mint Velvet. The smock style top with flared sleeving detail would look super cute for a day in spring and the material was light and soft for the warmer months.
The brand that really caught my eye was Hush. On one of the rails sat a beautiful tulle midi skirt with star glitter detailing throughout and I just fell in love and had to try it on. Already having a tulle skirt I thought I'd know what to expect but this one is incredibly light and flowy and has more of a casual vibe to the one I already own. I could see me pairing this with a leather biker on spring days in the city.
Before I could try it on though, I was being whisked away for a very indulgent makeup appointment at the Charlotte Tilbury stand!
There were lots of makeup counters for me to choose from such as Bobbi Brown, Benefit, Ester Lauder and many more but having never tried any of the Charlotte Tilbury range, I was very intrigued to have her magic products applied to my face. Coincidentally my MUA's name was also Charlotte and she was truly fabulous.
Having seen all the amazing looks on offer, I opted for the "Dolce Vita"- a true Hollywood glam make-up and boy did Charlotte deliver.
After a rather relaxing makeup appointment, I felt and looked a million dollars. Charlotte had worked her magic and made my eyes pop and my skin glow like never before! It was the perfect makeup and confidence boost I needed to try on more clothes and try a new look.
In the end, this was my all favourite of all the outfits had to be this ensemble. The Hush skirt, Jigsaw tee and Mint Velvet pumps. I mean, who doesn't love a bit of sparkle and metallic shoes in one outfit!?
Lucy even took me to The Residence area of John Lewis to snap away my new look which was awesome but also hilarious as shoppers were looking at me like what the hell is she doing!? Ha!
All in all I had a fantastic time at John Lewis being styled and glamourfied. The great thing about the personal styling service is you can book an appointment for any occasion and there is no obligation to buy anything if you don't want to. John Lewis know that their customers are loyal and we all know that their service is second to none. It doesn't have to be someone's wedding or an important event to warrant being personally styled. Sometimes it's just nice to have someone else pick things for you that perhaps you didn't think would suit you or to simply have the ease of someone finding you the latest trends. I also think it's great for anyone stuck in a style rut and looking for a change and a confidence boost! Being personally styled takes the stress out of shopping and will truly give you the style you desire.
Thank you Lucy for setting up my appointment and taking my photos- you're a total gem!

Tributes pour in after respected Hitchin councillor dies from Covid

Tributes are pouring in after a well-respected Hitchin councillor sadly died from Covid.
Paul Clark sadly passed away on Tuesday [December 7] from coronavirus.
He will be missed by many people and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
Paul served as a district councillor between 1995 to 1999, then from 2001 to 2015, and 2016 to the present day.
He was a ward member for Hitchin Highbury for his entire service and served on many committees, including the Cabinet Panel on Housing, Strategic Planning and Transport.
North Herts Council said: "It is with great sadness that we announce that Cllr Paul Clark, Deputy Leader of the Council, Executive Member for Planning and Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, sadly passed away suddenly from Covid on Tuesday night (December 7) at the age of 65."
In addition to his role at North Herts Council, Paul was elected to Hertfordshire County Council in May 2021 as the member for Hitchin South.
It was Paul's ambition for the council to put its residents first and to work together with them to build an environment for all to flourish.
He used his immense experience to ensure that the council did just that.
He was never afraid to raise his concerns whenever he felt it necessary. He worked incredibly hard over many decades to help those he served.
He was a diligent and dedicated councillor and will be sadly missed.
Reacting to the news, North Herts Liberal Democrat Cllr Steve Jarvis, said: "Paul has been working for Hitchin and its people for the last 30 years, championing the town and the local groups and organisations which he believed make it so special.
"During the last two years since he became Deputy Leader of North Herts Council he has played a major role right across the district and in May he achieved one of his long standing ambitions by getting elected to the County Council.
"Paul was sure that would enable him to do even more for the people of Hitchin. It is desperately sad that Hitchin and North Herts will now be deprived of his skills and experience."
Until recently as well as being a councillor, Paul was a traffic officer for what is now National Highways and worked in the control room managing incidents.
Outside of work, Paul was once a member of the British team for Latin American formation dancing and was an avid sports fan, supporting Saracens Rugby Club and Barnet Football Club.
Hertfordshire County Council Chairman, Cllr Seamus Quilty, said: "We are incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Paul Clark, a hardworking and dedicated councillor who served the people of Hitchin South during his tenure at Hertfordshire County Council, and the wider Hitchin community for nearly 30 years.
"The thoughts of everyone at Hertfordshire County Council are with Paul's family at this time."
During his time as a county councillor Paul sat on the council's Development Control Committee and Highways and Transport Cabinet Panel.
Liberal Democrat Group Leader for Hertfordshire County Council, Stephen Giles-Medhurst, added: "Having known Paul for many years I am incredibly saddened to hear of his passing, especially so close to Christmas, and my heart and sincere condolences go out to his family and friends.
"Even before he was elected to North Herts Council in 1995, Paul worked tirelessly to improve his community, and was delighted to have been chosen by residents in May as their county councillor.
"He will be greatly missed by us as a group as he was starting to get into his stride as a county councillor, and by his residents for whom he worked so hard."

Let this clever cat school you in breaking and entering.
The sneaky feline sneaks into a building by pulling out tubing that extends outside through a hole in the wall. Once the tubing is fully removed, the cat disappears inside.
We'd like to say "bad kitty," but this is pretty impressive.
