Halloween Horror Nights 26: Homegrown Terror
Destination & Tourism	Barry Kaufman September 26, 2016
Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Orlando's annual celebration of bone-chilling carnage and mayhem, has always held a mandate to make every year somehow more over the top than the previous. For its 26th iteration, that was no small task.

Halloween Horror Night 25 was, to put it mildly, cranked to 11 on nearly every level. In addition to delightfully warped scare zones and scare houses from iconic properties like "An American Werewolf in London," HHN25 also brought back one of its biggest icons, Jack the Clown.
"Last year was amazing," said Show Director Charles Gray. "It took a lot of work to make it bigger and better."
While horror is subjective—to some, a clown is just a clown but to others, it's the living embodiment of every child's nightmare—it's safe to say that Halloween Horror Night 26 is a worthy followup to an incredibly terrifying year.
Much of that credit can be given to the iconic franchises headlining this year's event.
Films like "The Exorcist" create the opportunity to immerse yourself in more psychological thrills than visceral blood and gore (that said, beware the vomit room). Of course, iconic properties like "Halloween," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Walking Dead" offer up plenty of opportunities for jump scares from ghouls and maniacs.
However, to truly get a feel for the pride and craftsmanship that go into Halloween Horror Nights, you have to visit some of its homegrown properties. This year offers up three.
The first: "Ghost Town: The Curse of Lightning Gulch," was considered a "requel" of sorts. "We did a ghost town before," said Gray. "This is a retelling of Lightning Gulch."

In Ghost Town, you walk through what Gray refers to as an "evil Brigadoon," an Old West town that only appears when lightning strikes. Stuffed to the gills with scareactors, cannon fire and alarming peals of thunder, the storyline behind Ghost Town intrigues, but mostly in service to some top-shelf scares.
The second original shows the real power of these original scare zones. If you're a fan of horror, seeing icons like Michael Myers or Leatherface is like meeting your favorite celebrities. The flipside of that is that when you see them, your brain instantly goes back to the scene in the film being recreated before your eyes. It doesn't damper the horror much, but it does take you out of the moment.
In an original scare zone like "Tomb of the Ancients," however, that reference doesn't exist. All your brain knows in that moment of fight or flight is that you're somewhere dark and confined and truly unsettling. I'm not going to lie; I consider myself pretty brave but recovering from Tomb of the Ancients took me a little while. It's that good.
The third original scare zone is a real testament to the care that the creative team puts into each year's event. Officially titled "Lunatics Playground 3D: You Won't Stand A Chance," the official showcase for this year's icon, Chance, works on several levels. The first, fitting for the asylum setting, happens entirely in your mind. New technology has taken the "Asylum in Wonderland 3D" experience from last year in boldly terrifying new directions. Prepare to have your mind toyed with and your perception of reality completely washed out by your own screams.
The other, deeper, level is in its storyline.
Those who attended HHN25 will remember the chaos Jack the Clown left in his wake, and the story of "Asylum" is that Jack skipped out leaving Chance to take the rap. This doesn't sit well with Chance, who proceeds to flip out and dispatch her would-be captors in brutal fashion. By continuing the storyline of last year's event, Asylum tips a pin to long-time fans who have seen characters, elements and themes pop up from year to year.

Case in point – the asylum Chance brutalizes, Shadybrook, was also the setting of last year's Body Collectors, as well as the birthplace of Jack the Clown. It's been popping up in original scare zones for years.
"The uber fans, the maniacs, they do follow the storylines," said Gray. "We don't let that control us; we use it when we want to use it. We're all geeks too, so we get very excited when we can put Easter eggs in there."
While it's the known franchises that bring the fans through that archway every autumn, more and more are starting to follow the ongoing horror saga being played out every year at Halloween Horror Night. Could that fanbase ever grow so large that we see the process work in reverse? Could we one day see Shadybrook Mental Hospital, Chance or Jack the Clown on the silver screen?
"Who knows what could happen?" said Gray. "You never know."

How to compute period of limitation for personal-guarantee?
The law of limitation means the time-limit for different suits within which an aggrieved person can approach the court to obtain a decree against the principal debtor and surety. The different time limit or period of limitation is prescribed for different types of suits, appeals or applications in the 'Schedule' to the Limitation Act, 1963. The suit filed, appeal preferred and application made after the expiry of the time limit is struck by the law of limitation and same will not be admitted by the court as evidence for breach of contract.
A guarantor is liable to pay if the principal debtor defaults. The creditor has to enforce the guarantee within the limitation period stipulated under limitation act. As per article 55 of limitation act 1963, the time-limit of 36 months would be reckoned from the date the guarantee contract is breached. The breach of contract occurs if the payment is not made or refused 'on demand'. Further, article 113 (the residuary articles) of limitation act provides that the time begins to run only when the right to sue accrues. For example, when a demand is made to the guarantor requiring payment within a stipulated period, (say within 15 days from the date of the notice), the breach occurs or right to sue accrues, if the payment is not made or is refused within 15 days of the notice date. Then again, the different implications for the words 'on demand' which would depend purely on the terms of the contract, as there are some decided cases reveal a divergence of opinion for the words 'on demand' in relation to certain time guarantees. Therefore, in the cases of guarantees, a claim may be time-barred against the principal debtor, but still enforceable against the guarantor on breach of contract.
In the case of Deepak Bhandari (Appellant) versus Himachal Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation Limited (Respondent) [Civil appeal no.1019/2014 in Supreme Court], the court seized that, the right to sue under a contract of indemnity or guarantee would principally arise when the indemnifier or the guarantor fails to pay the money claimed from it and not from the time when the 'Recall Notice' is served. The Supreme Court held that when the Respondent takes steps for recovery of the amount, the limitation period for recovery of the balance amount would start only after adjusting the proceeds from the sale of assets of the Borrower as only then would the Respondent be in a position to determine the Appellant's final liability as the guarantor. Accordingly, the suit filed by the Respondents for recovery of money from the Appellant being the guarantor was held to be within the period of limitation.
Acknowledgement of Debt in writing: Section 18 of the Limitation Act provides that the period of limitation is extended in the event of an acknowledgement of liability made by the debtor before the expiration of the period of limitation to initiate the recovery process. An acknowledgement of debt by the principal borrower also abandons the earlier demand made against the guarantor. Thus, the limitation period for the related guarantee contract also extended from the date of the acknowledgement.
Promise after expiry period: Under Section 25(3) of the Contract Act, a promise is made by the debtor to pay in whole or in part, a time-barred debt offers fresh period of limitation for the debt contract. U/S 128, the liability of the surety is co-extensive with that of the principal debtor unless it is otherwise provided by the contract.
Acknowledgment or payment by another person: Section 19 of the limitation act provides that where payment on account of a debt or of interest on a legacy is made before the expiration of the prescribed period by the person liable to pay the debt or legacy or by his agent duly authorised in this behalf, a fresh period of limitation shall be computed from the time when the payment was made. Provided that, (save in the case of payment of interest made before the 1st day of January 1928), an acknowledgement of the payment appears in the handwriting of, or in a writing signed by, the person making the payment.

Sir, Pl explain whether AOD is to be obtained from borrowers is valid enough to extend the limitation period to sue both borrowers and guarantors or AOD is to be obtained from borrowers and guarantors both will only serve the purpose of suing both of them?

EL PASO, Texas (AP) - UTEP basketball star Stefon Jackson was arrested Tuesday on charges that he hindered an investigation into a Pennsylvania shooting.
Deputy sheriffs searched Jackson's off-campus apartment and arrested a man wanted in a separate Philadelphia murder case.
Jackson, a 21-year-old junior from Philadelphia, was being held on $3,000 bail. He faces a charge of hindering apprehension or prosecution, a third-degree felony, in a case involving his 20-year-old cousin, Willie Harden.
Harden, also of Philadelphia, was arrested Friday at a fast-food restaurant near the UTEP campus. Pennsylvania authorities say he was responsible for a March 14 shooting that wounded five people in New Castle, Pa.
Lamar Reid, a 20-year-old from Philadelphia, was arrested on a homicide warrant out of his hometown when he was found in Jackson's apartment.
Harden and Reid were being held without bond. Jail records do not show if they or Jackson have lawyers.
Athletic director Bob Stull said Jackson's status will be determined by "university policies."
"Above all, our concern is for Stefon and his well-being," Stull said in a statement. "The investigation is ongoing, and we look forward to a resolution of this matter."
Jackson, a guard, was UTEP's top scorer the past two years. He was the nation's seventh-leading scorer last season, averaging 23.6 points.

Revolution had a brief, weird life on NBC. Its first season arrived with thunderous hype, thanks to its interesting premise—a world without power, 15 years after the lights went out—and its star-studded list of executive producers—including J.J. Abrams and Jon Favreau. It even had Giancarlo Esposito, and there was one episode where NBC somehow licensed a bunch of Led Zeppelin songs. How could that not be awesome? Well, it wasn't. Not for most of its first season, at least. It got good ratings, though, so NBC gave it a second season.
When Revolution came back, it was reinvigorated with a desire to actually live up to the hype. Finally, it was going to be the show could've been all along! And, for a while, it was. However, the audience no longer cared, and NBC gave it the axe. That left the show with a bunch of unfinished plot threads and unanswered questions, almost all of which revolved around nanomachines.
Now, as a special gift to everyone who remembers/still cares about Revolution, DC Comics will be publishing a four-part digital comic series that gives the show an actual ending. The comic will be written by series writers David Reed and Ryan Parrott, who came up with the story along with a team of former Revolution writers and producers. The first issue will be available on ComicBook.com on May 4, and new issues will be able every two weeks after that. Presumably, DC will then collect the issues as a physical graphic novel at some point in the future—as it does with most of its digital comics—so that you can still read it once all of the world's electricity really does go out.

Rydboholm Castle (Rydboholms slott) dates back to the Middle Ages. The castle, with the three interconnected wings around an open courtyard, dates from the 16th century. The main building was built in 1548. The castle was reconstructed during the 18th century. Southwest of the castle is a large park in English style from the early 19th century, built by Magnus Fredrik Brahe.
From the 15th century, Rydboholm was the property of members of the Sture family, followed by the Vasa dynasty and later the Brahe family. According to some sources Gustav I of Sweden, who was King of Sweden from 1523 until his death, was born at Rydboholm Castle. From 1520, it belonged to his sister, Margareta Eriksdotter Vasa.

In enzymology, an arylformamidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-formyl-L-kynurenine + H2O  formate + L-kynurenine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-formyl-L-kynurenine and H2O, whereas its two products are formate and L-kynurenine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is aryl-formylamine amidohydrolase. Other names in common use include kynurenine formamidase, formylase, formylkynureninase, formylkynurenine formamidase, formamidase I, and formamidase II.  This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.

Budget plan brings more bad news for Oklahoma seniors, children, & people with disabilities
Carly Putnam // May 26, 2016 // Updated: May 2, 2019
OK Policy Blog // Budget & Tax // Economic Opportunity // Health // Poverty
Photo by Carlton Browne / CC BY 2.0
Earlier this month, we warned that important protections for seniors, children, and Oklahomans with disabilities were crumbling because the Department of Human Services had already made "the easy cuts" and was now forced to make cuts that directly hurt our most vulnerable citizens.
Now, it looks like those consequences will get worse. Oklahoma's proposed FY 2017 budget would restore some of this year's mid-year cuts but would leave DHS 4 percent below its 2016 funding level. According to DHS, this will leave the agency $103 million in the hole, and it will require cuts to a wide range of direct services. The largest potential cuts would be to community living and support services, adult and family services, and developmental disabilities services. Here are some of the consequences of this harmful budget plan:
Eliminating investigations of mistreatment of vulnerable adults
The Adult Protective Services division at DHS provides protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation for vulnerable adults who cannot independently manage their own affairs or protect themselves from harm. The proposed cuts by DHS would eliminate investigations of financial exploitation and mental health referrals. The cuts would also reduce staff, which would delay response times for calls made about abuse, neglect, or exploitation in communities and nursing homes and compromise the agency's ability to report abusive providers to the state Abuse Registry. In FY 2015, APS completed nearly 15,000 investigations of mistreatment. More than 6,000 were found to be substantiated.
An end to affordable child care; longer waits for food and utility bill assistance
Adult and Family Services provide help to some of the poorest families in Oklahoma with services like child care subsidies, nutrition assistance, cash assistance, and refugee services. Subsidized child care, which is already mostly unavailable for working parents, is about to become even less accessible: DHS has already announced that enrollment will be frozen on June 1. The only exceptions will be children or their families who are already involved with DHS – for instance, children in foster care will continue to be eligible.
"Rep. Jason Nelson (R-Oklahoma City) predicted that cuts to DHS will 'lead to new lawsuits similar to the one that resulted in court-ordered changes to the state's child welfare system.'"
This cut could leave up to 2,000 families per month on a subsidy waiting list, and means many parents will have to leave the workforce because they don't have options to care for their children*.
Meanwhile, other cuts will eliminate staff in child care licensing, which provides oversight for summer day camps, child care centers and more. DHS reported that these cuts could lead to a "general reduction in the quality of child care, safety, and well-being of children in Oklahoma."
And there's more. Staff cuts for SNAP and the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which provides winter heating and summer cooling assistance, will likely lead to longer delays in processing applications. Families who can't afford food and utility bills would be left waiting.
Vanishing help for Oklahomans with developmental disabilities
Just shy of 1,900 adults with developmental disabilities receive in-home support services through a Medicaid waiver operated by DHS. Thousands more are on a waiting list, with some waiting more than a decade. DHS has proposed reducing or eliminating the waiver, leaving families with no option but to try to cobble together the funds to hire home health aides. On top of that, DHS could reduce contracts with providers of respite care and family support for those caring for family members with developmental disabilities.
Other proposed cuts include cutting funding for the 2-1-1 Oklahoma helpline by half, reducing provider rates and staff for the ADvantage program that helps people stay at home instead of going to a nursing home, eliminating contracts with Meals on Wheels, and closing 50 meal sites for food-insecure seniors – a loss of about 500,000 meals.
However, DHS's proposed reductions only total $94 million in state dollars – which still leaves a shortfall of $9 million. It's not clear what else would be on the table, but it's virtually certain that none of it would be good. In debating on the budget in House committee, Rep. Jason Nelson (R-Oklahoma City) predicted that cuts to DHS will "lead to new lawsuits similar to the one that resulted in court-ordered changes to the state's child welfare system."
Sorely inadequate funding for DHS is yet another reason why lawmakers should reject this budget proposal and build a better budget that saves needed services for vulnerable Oklahomans.
* A statement that the subsidy freeze would "eliminate funding for nearly 2 in 3 child care facilities in the state" was found to be inaccurate and has been removed from the paragraph.

How can Mary Fallin and her staff support these changes in good conscience? They have frozen in place millions in funds to assure that they get their raises next year at the expense of the poor, elderly, struggling families that are doing the best they can. Also the remodeling of the Capitol valued at Millions. Can't they just repair the safety concerns but wait until the state is doing better to put in a "Reflection Pool"?? I am really in Shock at the lack Empathy !! Sincerely Wanda Montellano
Viola Perez says:
Budget cuts to developmental disabilities will more than likely lead to yet another federal lawsuit for the state of Oklahoma . The state has gone thru a federal lawsuit once already for not providing adequate services for this most fragile population of are citizens. The lawmakers must fully fund DHS developmental disabilities division .

Thats an easy one, Wanda. Fallin and the majority of the legislature have no conscience. Throw in lack of a moral compass as well.
Virginia Norvell says:
Legislators and Governor,
Why are we doing without and suffering while you get to reap benefits. I thought by voting for you to help was to look out for what is best for the people of Oklahoma. Making those who depend on services due without while you get a raise and get to live fancy while people who voted get treated like the dirt that gets walked on. You all need to live on 17,000. dollars or less a year and then be told we are going to take more away from you. I ask that I am there when you stand before God and tell him the least of his people had to due without so they could have more.
Deanna Holtz says:
Do the legislatures even read this? Rainy day fund? Don't these people realize there's a flood! You take pay cuts instead of cutting the poorest of the poor! How powerful do you feel deciding and controlling the lives of people who vote you in? Where are your priorities? What a disgrace all of you are! If you lived like we do, you could manage on a lot less! I've lived here all my life and now ashamed to be @n Oklaman. You should be very ashamed of yourselves! Oh wait, that's assuming you have a conscience!
Deborah Mc Donald says:
Have always been proud to be an Oklahoman. Am disappointed and ashamed of our State officials. Just when us baby boomers need help, it conveniently disappears. Such a tragady of greed. Fallin will Fallin her own pit. It is written!
Debbie Ross says:
In all the confusion of budgets and politics and opinions, there is one simple truth. If we don't put the needs of "the least of them" at the top of our priority list, there no way God will ever be able to prosper Oklahoma!
Come on legislators that know that in your
heart already. Stand up and do the right thing!


Adding to this site's archives of pain and suffering awards for shoulder injuries, reasons for judgement were released today by the BC Supreme Court, Vancouver Registry, assessing damages for a chronic rotator cuff injury.
 Mr. Pistruga is now 50. I find that he has suffered and continues to suffer both physically and emotionally as a result of the negligence of Mr. Garcia. I am also satisfied that his pain and suffering has resulted in an impairment of his family life – a restriction of his household duties and a deterioration of his relationship with his wife and son. I find that Mr. Pistruga suffered severe pain for about three months after the First Accident and for about four months after the shoulder surgery. Mr. Pistruga has had and continues to have pain in his shoulder. As a result of the First Accident and the operation that was necessary as a result of the injuries suffered in the First Accident, he continues to suffer and I find that he will continue to suffer emotionally from the injuries caused by the First Accident and that his symptoms can only be partially lessened by prescription and non-prescription medicine. While medication appears to have eased his mood swings, I find that he remains suspicious and moody from time to time as well as being subject to panic attacks.
 As a result of the First Accident and the necessary operation, Mr. Pistruga has seen an impairment of his recreational activities as well. Regarding his physical situation, I accept the opinion of Dr. Vorobeychik that the prognosis is "guarded". Regarding the emotional health of Mr. Pistruga, I accept the opinion of Dr. Levin that the prognosis for full recovery relating to his chronic major depression disorder "remains guarded and he most likely will require ongoing maintenance psychopharmacological treatment".
 In the circumstances, I am satisfied that non-pecuniary damages of $110,000 should be awarded.
Reasons for judgement were released this week by the BC Supreme Court, Vancouver Registry, assessing damages for minor, chronic soft tissue injuries.
 The overall impression I formed of the plaintiff's evidence, after considering it in the context of the whole of the evidence and particularly the medical evidence, was that he tended to think very negatively and to have an exaggerated view of his physical limitations and symptoms following the accident.
 I therefore unfortunately find that Mr. Rosso's perception of his abilities, or rather disabilities, is unreliable.
 I agree with the defendants that there is no credible or reliable evidence to support a conclusion that the accident caused the broader range of symptoms reported by Mr. Rosso.
 Despite this, I do accept the plaintiff's evidence that he has continued to experience some neck and back pain since the accident. There is abundant medical evidence which supports the conclusion that Mr. Rosso suffered some soft tissue injuries as a result of the accident and I so find. I accept the conclusion of the majority of the medical experts that if the pain has not gone away by now, it is likely he will continue to experience some ongoing pain in the future. ..
 I am persuaded on the totality of the evidence that the motor vehicle accident caused the plaintiff to suffer ongoing symptoms of mild neck and back pain, which are symptoms likely to continue into the future to some extent but which can be managed with regular exercise. The evidence also supports the conclusion that immediately after the accident for a short period the plaintiff did have some associated minor headaches and anxiety in relation to driving which was caused by the accident. ..
158] Here I find that the injuries are minor and have had a minor impact on Mr. Rosso's life, especially in comparison to other circumstances in his life, such as the death of a close friend and his inability to become a commercially successful rock musician. I conclude that a fair and reasonable assessment of non-pecuniary damages is $20,000.
Earlier this month I discussed the "Garbage In Garbage Out" Principle which basically means an expert opinion based on flawed facts is of little value to the Court. Reasons for judgement were released today by the BC Supreme Court, Vancouver Registry demonstrating that an opinion based on misconstrued facts is not helpful.
In today's case (Gillespie v. Yellow Cab Company Ltd.) the Plaintiff was involved in two collisions and sustained a head injury. He suffered from ongoing cognitive problems at the time of trial and damages of $85,000 were assessed for his non-pecuniary loss.
202] Dr. Eisen's report described both accidents as being "of a mild nature".
 He did not view photographs of the plaintiff's car in the first accident until after he presented his report. He was not aware his car was a total loss or that there was $4,900 damage to the taxi and $6,900 damage to the cube van. Although the doctor described the plaintiff's windshield as "shattered" he did not know where he obtained that information.
 Although the second accident was evidently quite minor, in my view, Dr. Eisen was clearly in error in describing the December 2009 accident this way. Although no questions were asked to clarify "mild" "moderate" or "severe" the evidence points to the first accident being in the range of two moderate collisions involving two impacts. Dr. Eisen did not view the photographs of the damage to the three vehicles nor understand the force of impact that led to Mr. Gillespie striking his head. The apparent damage to all three vehicles, the blow to his head, and the description of the impacts during the accident are inconsistent with Dr. Eisen's conclusion that this was a mild impact collision.
 In this regard I conclude that Dr. Eisen's opinion was based on a clear misapprehension of the accident and the injury mechanism. This factor alone diminishes the weight of his report.
 The evidence is uncontroversial that Mr. Gillespie's head struck and shattered the windshield in spite of the airbag deploying.
 I observed that Dr. David concluded that Mr. Gillespie's inner ear dysfunction occurred because of direct impact, acoustic trauma from airbag deployment, and the explosive forces associated with airbag deployment.
 However, Dr. Eisen seems to have ignored that Dr. Levis, Fraser Health Concussion Clinic and Dr. Foti recorded the plaintiff's complaints of short-term memory loss, reversing numbers, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty word-finding from December 21, 2009 until October 2011. Clearly, his cognitive problems persisted throughout the months after the accident without abatement; they did not re-emerge 11 -12 months later as assumed by Dr. Eisen. This error by Dr. Eisen relating to his ongoing cognitive impairment would likely have affected his opinion if he had relied on more accurate information.
 Dr. Eisen's misconstruction of the facts leading to his conclusion that the plaintiff did not suffer a head injury in December 2009 is a significant flaw in his opinion. Further, his opinion that Mr. Gillespie developed unrelated cognitive problems in 2011 because he was experiencing metabolic syndrome is not supported by the facts or his own opinion that some of the indications of Mr. Gillespie's altered state of mind in the interval after the accident were indications of an accident related to mild traumatic brain injury.
Reasons for judgement were released today by the BC Supreme Court, Victoria Registry, upholding a finding that expert reports from a treating physiotherapist were an unnecessary luxury in a personal injury prosecution.
 The plaintiff obtained three physiotherapists' reports. The first was Ms. Cuttiford's report of September 23, 2010, approximately five weeks after the motor vehicle accident.
 The second report was a neuro-physiotherapy report prepared on September 25, 2010, by Ms. Koshman, a vestibular physiotherapist. A third report was prepared by Ms. Koshman in December 2012, approximately 18 months after the plaintiff returned to work.
 After noting the position of both the plaintiff and defendant, the Registrar observed that plaintiff's counsel acknowledged the reports of Ms. Koshman could not be relied on to provide an opinion on causation, prognosis or treatment, thereby necessitating a report from another expert, a Dr. Longridge. It is to be noted that the defendant also contested the necessity of Dr. Longridge's report. The Registrar, however, agreed with the plaintiff that this report was necessary and allowed this disbursement in its entirety. On the other hand, the Registrar concluded the reports of Ms. Koshman were not necessary. In addition, the Registrar noted the defendant's argument that as the plaintiff had returned to work and counsel was aware the plaintiff's symptoms had largely resolved by the time the second report was requested, this report from Ms. Koshman was not necessary or proper. The Registrar agreed with the defendant on this point and disallowed the cost of Ms. Koshman's second report.
 In my view, the Registrar adequately addressed these issues and provided sufficient reasons when exercising her discretion to disallow these very early physiotherapy reports. I am unable to say she was clearly wrong or erred in principle in reaching this decision.
 Given the relevant circumstances, the second Koshman report of December 29, 2012 is even more problematic for the plaintiff. In this report, Ms. Koshman states that she saw the plaintiff for 14 treatment sessions between September of 2010 and March 24, 2011, before he returned to work in April of 2011. For the purposes of preparing the December of 2012 report, she reassessed the plaintiff on November 30, 2012, some 20 months after the plaintiff's last treatment. Trial counsel deposed as to why these reports were ordered. However, it is not sufficient for the plaintiff to merely demonstrate that these reports and expenses were "very useful in this case". As such, I do not find that the Registrar was merely second-guessing competent counsel. Given all of her reasons, I find the Registrar turned her mind to all the relevant factors and principles in reaching her decision.
 As a result, I am not satisfied the plaintiff has established that the Registrar was clearly wrong or erred in principle in concluding that Ms. Koshman's second report was unnecessary and extravagant. This aspect of the plaintiff's appeal is also dismissed.
 As a result, the disbursements for these three reports were disallowed.

"I'VE COME ON ORDERS FROM BERLIN
TO FETCH THE THREE CHILDREN."
Gestapo agent, August 24, 1944
With those chilling words Christa von Hofacker and her younger siblings found themselves ensnared in a web of family punishment designed to please one man—Adolf Hitler. The furious dictator sought merciless revenge against not only Christa's father and the other Germans who had just tried to overthrow his government. He wanted to torment their relatives, too, regardless of age or stature. All of them. Including every last child.
DURING THE SUMMER OF 1944, a secretive network of German officers and civilians conspired to assassinate Adolf Hitler. But their plot to attack the dictator at his Wolf's Lair compound failed, and an enraged Hitler demanded revenge. The result was a systematic rampage of punishment that ensnared not only those who had tried to topple the regime but their far-flung family members too. Within weeks, Gestapo agents had taken as many as 200 relatives from their homes, separating adults and children.
Using rare photographs and personal interviews with survivors, award-winning author Ann Bausum presents the spine-chilling little-known story of the failed Operation Valkyrie plot, the revenge it triggered, and the families caught in the fray.

I'm not sure who got more excited in 2015 when my oldest son and I set off from Berlin one brisk January morning on a quest to visit the Wolf's Lair. We departed aboard a sleek express train and spent the day transferring to a series of ever simpler rail carriages until, by twilight, we finally reached an outpost in Poland named Ketrzyn (roughly pronounced KETCH-in). The next morning snowflakes began to fall as we set out off for the former Nazi bunker. Our guided rambles around the frozen ruins of this site remain one of the most otherworldly explorations I've ever made.

Three years later Sam and I returned to Europe for further research. This time we homed in on the events of Valkyrie and what followed. We stood in the courtyard at the Bendler Block in Berlin where Claus von Stauffenberg and others had been shot, found our way to the execution chamber of Plötzensee Prison, and made a pilgrimage to Bad Sachsa. Together we walked the grounds of the Borntal, studied the vacant houses where the Nazis had confined their captured children, and, with permission, explored the abandoned corridors and living spaces inside one of them.

Everywhere we went I felt the echoes of history. Then I met it face to face.
During a series of in-person visits and phone calls I had the privilege of interviewing people who had lived through the history I was exploring. Through these conversations I gained insights not only into their interactions with the past but the ways in which these experiences continued to reverberate through their lives and those of their family members. Our visits were a reminder that history isn't an abstract collection of isolated events from the past. It is a legacy that surrounds us and endures long after places like the Wolf's Lair fall into ruin. We all share in the echoes of history.
Facing a moral dilemma. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and his brother Berthold faced a moral dilemma in Nazi, Germany. Should they sacrifice themselves—and endanger their family members—in a long-shot attempt to destroy an evil regime? Should they do so even when their efforts seemed almost certain to fail? Consider the opening quotation for Ensnared in the Wolf's Lair and the parallel statement at the beginning of chapter three. Review the debate that is described on pages 48-49 of this chapter and the quotation from Henning von Tresckow that concludes this section. What motivated the conspirators to enact their plan against all odds? What thoughts may have held them back? Can you think of other examples of moral dilemmas? What do these debates share in common?
Keeping a diary. Have you ever kept a diary? If you started one, what would you write about? Christa von Hofacker often recorded ordinary and everyday details when she described her stay at the Borntal. Her account is fascinating because of the way her notes bring the scenes to life. Consider how ordinary details in your own life could take on added meaning when re-read many years later. What sorts of notes might future readers find fascinating about your daily life?
Twin diaries about Nazi Germany. When Anne Frank started her diary, she had no idea it would become an essential window into the life for persecuted people during World War II. Christa von Hofacker couldn't have imagined how important her diary would become either. And yet her diary is likewise invaluable for capturing details that would otherwise have been lost to history. Consider these two records. How do they compare? How are they different? What value did the diary writing bring to each girl?
Reconstructing family stories. Many families are introduced in Ensnared in the Wolf's Lair, and it can sometimes be challenging to keep them straight. Use the book to reconstruct the story of a particular family. Start with an engaging photo or by choosing one of the families listed in the key at the back of the book. Use the index to search for all the book's references to your selection. Write your own account of the family's history based on information found in this account. Can you find other credible information about family members using the Internet? What happened to the various people? Are the children in the family still alive? How did their wartime experience impact their lives?
The shadows of trauma. The closing chapter of Ensnared in the Wolf's Lair examines some of ways that trauma endured beyond World War II. In what ways has the trauma been resolved, and in what ways does it continue? Social scientists have come to appreciate that trauma can be passed down through generations. Even people who never experienced the original traumatic events can continue to be harmed by them. How might that work? Can you imagine ways that trauma might affect the survivors of Sippenhaft and their offspring? What are other examples of events that may have produced multi-generational trauma? Are there ways that trauma has impacted your life or those of people you know? How can people break this cycle?
Exploring the shared legacies of history. Two films are recommended in the Resource Guide for Ensnared in the Wolf's Lair. Each one examines people who are recollecting and confronting their ties to the past. Blind Spot offers Traudl Junge the opportunity to reflect on her work as a secretary to Adolf Hitler, her devotion to him as a leader, and her eventual realizations about the evil that she had helped to support. Hitler's Children traces the weight carried by people whose fathers were tied to the Nazi regime and the ways this legacy has affected their own lives. Watch one or both of these films and consider how the embers of history endure through the generations. What burdens are passed down? What else is inherited? Can joys be inherited? Or wisdom? Or strength? Can these embers be kindled in strangers? In what ways do we share the weights and gains from the inheritance of history? Are these sparks the true lessons of history?
Time Traveling through the Wolf's Lair
Available as a program for middle school students, teens, or adults
Travel back in time to the 1944 attempted overthrow of the Nazi regime and discover the nearly forgotten story of what came next. Hitler survived the attempt on his life, but his revenge didn't end with the deaths of the conspirators behind the failed Valkyrie coup. He imposed punishments on surviving family members, too—punishments that divided children from mothers, split siblings, and robbed relatives of their sense of certainty, and even their identities.
This presentation takes participants through the layers of history, starting with an introduction to the doomed July 20 coup and the punishments that followed. Then we pursue the trail of history across Europe, retracing the author's footsteps from Berlin to the Wolf's Lair, from the Borntal's secret hideaway to the living rooms of the now-octogenarian eyewitnesses who were once held captive as children. The program includes a behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of this project from the slimmest glimmer of an idea into a book with echoes that still resonate today.
Length: approximately 40 minutes for the program, 10-15 minutes for questions.
Technical requirements: LCD projector, projection screen, and microphone.
"German 12-year-old Christa von Hofacker's diary, like Anne Frank's, provides a child's window into WWII, helping to tell the fascinating and shocking story of how German families were made to pay the price when a plot to kill Hitler by German military leaders and officers failed. Operation Valkyrie's failure prompted a vindictive Hitler to retaliate against all the conspirators' family members in what is known as Sippenhaft (kin liability). The book describes Hitler's rise to power and explains the reasons for this attempt (and others) on his life. It tensely recounts the events on the fateful day when Operation Valkyrie was attempted and failed and the fate that awaited the conspirators and their families: their children were taken away without explanation and hidden at a secluded retreat called the Borntal. Their names were changed, and they were forbidden to speak when outside, and called "ghost children" by observers. Bausum collects firsthand accounts from Christa and other survivors, their experiences lending authenticity and immediacy to the history. Few records about Sippenhaft survived so this extensively researched book offers an eye-opening look at an unforgettable historical event. Back matter includes a time line, family lists, resources and resource notes, maps, and archival photos and illustrations. Highly recommended."

"A compelling account of the Valkyrie plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler in 1944 and the brutal aftermath of the plot's failure. The text begins with an overview of how Hitler utilized a blend of personality, propaganda, and fear to assume total control of the German government after the death of Chancellor Hindenburg in 1932. . . .When prominent military men attempted to assassinate Hitler at his retreat known as the Wolf's Lair in the Valkyrie plot and failed, Hitler's retribution was particularly brutal. . . .Forty-six children from 19 high-ranking Nazi families who survived the beginnings of the Sippenhaft [family punishment] were sent to a tourist town in central Germany called Bad Sachsa. The children were forbidden to use their family names, to enroll in school, to go to church, or even to speak when outdoors. A time line, a list of the Sippenhaft families, a resource guide, a note from the author, and research notes are included.VERDICT A well-researched, detailed account of a part of World War II that remains unknown to many today. For those who enjoyed The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow by Susan Campbell Bartoletti."
—School Library Journal, starred review
"Bausum. . .reveals a nearly forgotten chapter of WWII, one centered on the retribution faced by the children and families of Germans who failed in an effort to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Revenge known as Sippenhaft ("family punishment") came swiftly following the 1944 attempt to bomb Hitler inside one of his bunkers. . . .Children were separated from parents, rounded up by Gestapo, and secreted away to a forested youth retreat, some for almost a year, where they were given new surnames, forbidden from speaking in public, and called "ghost children" by the outside community. Based on extensive research and interviews with some of these children—now octo- and nonagenarians. . . .Maps, archival photographs, and documents from Nazi Germany, as well as photographs of the Sippenhaft families, round out this comprehensive account that provides a glimpse into the horror and trauma of the Nazi regime. Back matter includes a timeline, a meticulous listing of the Sippenhaft families whose children were detained, a resource guide, further reading, a bibliography, source notes, and index."
"Following a failed coup and assassination attempt, Adolf Hitler exacted sweeping revenge against participants and their families, detailed in the skillful Ann Bausum's engrossing Ensnared in the Wolf's Lair. . .The vast reach of Valkyrie fueled Hitler's mounting paranoia. His policy of Sippenhaft—or "family punishment"—implicated relatives in anti-Nazi conspiracies and demonstrated Hitler's merciless commitment to retaining political control. . . . [W]ith parents detained, Gestapo agents seized detractors' youngest children, holding them in a secluded rural facility and giving them scant information, much of it lies. Through strong primary resources, emphasizing four detainees who offered her their first-person accounts, Bausum recounts heartbreaking months of isolation and anxiety: these children were stripped of family connections, berated and silenced, earning their nickname "the ghost children." . . .Bausum's writing is uncomplicated and respectfully frames the ghost children's shared experience of trauma for an older middle-grade audience. Supporting photographs on almost every spread humanize the Valkyrie players, and rich primary resources notably feature journal entries from Christa von Hofacker, who kept a diary while detained as a 12-year-old. Extensive backmatter includes a full listing of families ensnared by Sippenhaft, author's note, bibliography and much more."

It was the summer of 2013, and Phil Karp was staring at a dead lionfish. Earlier, he had gone diving in the waters of the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve in southern Belize, armed with a spear. He and other volunteers with the organization ReefCI had attempted to hunt as many lionfish as possible.
Destructive though it may seem, killing Caribbean lionfish is actually a crucial marine conservation effort. The lionfish is a normal, benign resident in its native Indo-Pacific range—but it is an invasive, voracious and destructive predator in the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean, where it has reduced native fish populations by 65 percent since 2004. It eats everything from parrotfish and grouper to lobster larvae and shrimp, and it has no natural predators in its new home.
Lionfish have multiplied and spread all over the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and the United States eastern seaboard since they were first spotted in Florida waters in the mid-1980s. Just getting the invasive population to decrease instead of increase would require removing 27 percent of all adult lionfish from the water every month, and they are almost impossible to catch except with the labor-intensive techniques of hand-netting and spearing.
But as Karp stared at the dead lionfish, he wasn't thinking about how difficult it had been to catch. He was contemplating its spines. An adult lionfish has thirteen long, venomous spines protruding from its back, and must therefore be carefully handled even after it's caught and killed. It occurred to Karp that the lionfish spines looked like porcupine quills, which are sometimes used in jewelry. "That was the initial 'aha'," he says. If people started buying previously discarded parts of the lionfish to use them in jewelry, Karp reasoned, fishers would have an additional incentive to take them out of the water.
So Karp collected and distributed spines to local artisans, including Palovi Baezar, from the town of Punta Gorda in Belize, who was one of the first in the region to make jewelry out of lionfish. She made her first pieces, several pairs of earrings, in the summer of 2013. But that was just the beginning: there were months and years of trial, error, and innovation left to go. "The first time I got to work," recalls Baezar, "I had no idea." At first, she used dried-out spines without treating them, and the spines were brittle and snapped easily. And it was a challenge to source the other parts of the earrings, like clasps.
Putting a coat of sealant on lionfish jewelry is now standard operating procedure with lionfish jewelers across the Caribbean—and it's not the only innovation that has been picked up. For example, many jewelers make their lionfish jewelry entirely out of local materials, a trend for which Baezar can take partial credit. She remembers the day she came up with the idea of making a ribbon-end crimp (the metal piece that holds an earring together at the top) out of an aluminum can. "One day I ran out [of crimps]," she recounts, "and I just took a can, cut it open, and started using that." Again, there was some trial and error. "When I folded it, [the earring] fell out," Baezar says, "so I started gluing it." Now, you can buy lionfish earrings with aluminum-can crimps as well as hooks made out of stainless steel fishing wire, preserved using scented nail polish remover and coated with boat varnish—all materials that a woman from a coastal fishing community can easily lay her hands on when she joins the fight against the lionfish.
But one woman can only do so much. In order for this work to put a worthwhile dent in the lionfish population and increase incentives to catch these spiny invaders, more jewelers needed to join the ranks. The next step was workshops—opportunities for those who already knew how to make lionfish jewelry to pass that knowledge on to those who didn't. Baezar has taught at several workshops set up by Karp and the NGO Blue Ventures.
In fact, Baezar started training others to make lionfish jewelry almost as soon as she began making it herself. She has kept it up, in part simply for the joy of passing on her knowledge and expertise to excited students. "They can't wait to be making jewelry," Baezar says of workshop attendees. Nowadays, participants not only learn the ins and outs of making lionfish jewelry, they receive a crash course in accounting and other business skills—and they talk about the tremendous threat to reef ecosystems posed by the lionfish invasion. By the end of one workshop in 2015, the participants had decided collectively and on their own to become a cooperative of Belizean women lionfish jewelers who would collaborate, communicate and support each others' work.
The cooperative is still going strong today. "So far there are 19 of us ladies," says Baezar. "We don't have a problem with guys joining, but it's mostly for the women in the fishing coastal communities." She explains that the lives of many of the members were transformed when they learned to make lionfish jewelry. "Some of the women were unemployed," she says, "and they were only depending on the money that was brought in by their husbands, who were fishermen." Now these women use lionfish—perhaps even caught by their husbands—to make money for themselves. Among the members is a single mother who not only makes and sells her own lionfish jewelry but has started an experiential tour business in which guests go on a fishing excursion with her father and brother, and then return for her to cook them a lionfish lunch. In recognition of the key parts of its identity—all women, from Belize, who help fight the lionfish invasion—the organization was named BELIONESS.
"My dream would be to have a series of cooperatives in the Caribbean like BELIONESS," Karp confides. "[They] could then collectively create a Caribbean lionfish jewelry brand." And if there were a brand with a great story behind it, plus sufficient amounts of jewelry to sell, Karp explains, the jewelry might be able to get into department stores, or boutiques or aquarium gift shops. Then the sales of lionfish jewelry, and the incentives to remove lionfish from the water, would really take off.
It's a story of women who are empowering themselves while stewarding their local ecosystem. What's the moral? As with lemons to lemonade, when life gives you lionfish, make jewelry out of them.

Northern Ireland, Pay & pensions

NI Assembly members get 27% pay cut
Dominic Brady
Northern Ireland Assembly members' pay will be cut until the country's executive is restored, the secretary of state for Northern Ireland has announced today.
Salaries will be cut from £49,500 down to £35,888 (a 27% drop) starting in November, Karen Bradley told the House of Commons.
The announcement comes as Northern Ireland enters its 20th month without an executive after talks of a power-sharing arrangement between the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin have continued to fail.
Addressing the commons today, Bradley said: "While Assembly members continue to perform valuable constituency functions, it is clear that during any such interim period they will not be performing the full range of their legislative functions.
"So, in parallel I will take the steps necessary to reduce assembly members' salary in line with the recommendation made by Trevor Reaney."
Reaney is a former clerk and chief executive of the Northern Ireland Assembly, who was commissioned by then Northern Ireland secretary James Brokenshire to look into the issue of paying assembly members while there is no executive.
Bradley added that the pay cut will not reduce the allowance of Northern Ireland Assembly members (MLAs)' staff.
"I do not think that MLAs' staff should suffer because of the politicians' failure to form an executive," Bradley said.
Reaney also recommended the allowance for the civil servants in Northern Ireland should be reduced from £50,000 to £37,5000.
The pay cut will happen in two stages - £7,425 to begin with and then a further £6,187 in three months time.
Bradley said: "As this impasse continues, public services are suffering, businesses are suffering, the people of Northern Ireland are suffering.
"Local decision making is needed to address this."
Bradley said in July she would legislate to fill vital public appointments in the continued absence of a functioning executive at Stormont.

These egg bakes are great for breakfast. You may prepare everything the night before, even the 3 layers (meat, cheese & spinach). Next morning just break eggs and make the mixture. Combine everything in just 5 minutes and pop in the oven. I love doing them as party appetisers, bite size pieces and easy to serve.
Take a baking dish and rub generous amount of butter on all the sides and bottom, you may use cooking spray if you wish. This will help us cutting the baked casserole as well as washing the dish later.
Crack eggs in a bowl. To that add salt, black pepper powder and mixed herbs. Give a good stir. The amount of all these 3 ingredients could vary on one's own preference as some people might like less or more salt; someone might not like to use black pepper powder and so on. Add cottage cheese and give a stir again. Set the bowl aside.
Now, let's take the baking dish which we rubbed before with butter. Put meat at the bottom, this is the first layer. Spread it all over the bottom of the dish. After that, put shredded Mozzarella and spread it, this is the second layer. Then add spinach. You may use your hands to spread them nicely. After that add egg mixture and gently level it.
Bake the Casserole in 375 degree pre- heated oven for 20-25 minutes. After baking, let it cool down in the dish for 15 minutes. If you try to cut pieces before that, it might break. After 15 minutes, gently cut slices and serve.


These New Puritans are back with a new track, called 'Into The Fire'. You can hear it above.
The track is the first to emerge from the group in five years, following on from their last album, Field of Reeds, which was a tQ favourite. 'Into The Fire' features Current 93's David Tibet, and is available now for streaming and downloading. You can also pre-order a 7" edition on coloured vinyl featuring a remix from These New Puritans as Mick The Asbestos.
"The new music is much more primitive," says one-half of the duo, Jack Barnett. "We want to make our music as direct and as powerful as possible - straight to the nervous system." George Barnett adds: "We wanted this to be about us working together on something really pure and progressive. The melodies and Jack's voice are much more important this time around."

We were so exited to pick up Slugger (previously Chadwick). Everything went perfectly and we loved him from the moment we met him. We were provided with all instructions needed and everything went smoothly. I would recommend Premier Pups to anyone looking for a new puppy. They even called the next day to make sure everything was fine. They are professional, reliable and their puppies are adorable!

Q: JavaScript/jQuery - Make  href fire off before jQuery focusout() event I have a search bar on a website project I'm working on. The search runs an AJAX call which displays a list of users who goes by the searched name, or a name containing the searched phrase. When the user focuses out of the search bar, the result list gets hidden. Problem is, when the user wants to click on one of the people in the results, the list still gets hidden and the link in the results list is not clicked. Here is the code:
$('#searchBar').on('input', function() {
  $.ajax({ url: "personsearch.php?name=" + $('#searchBar').val(), success: function(result) {
    $('#searchResultList').html(result);
    $('#searchResultList').css('display', 'block');
  }});
});

$('#searchBar').focusout(function(event) {
  $('#searchResultList').css('display', 'none');
});

Snippet of what the actual search bar and result list looks like:

  <input id="searchBar" type="text">

      Example Name

Is there any way to get the  href to fire off before the jQuery focusout() event, or can the same result be achieved in any other way?
Thanks! I'm sorry if the question is a duplicate, I have looked for answers to my question in previous threads but I couldn't find one.

A: Solved the problem by looking for mouse clicks outside the div instead:
$(document).click(function(event) {
  if(!$(event.target).closest('#search').length) {
    $('#searchResultList').css('display', 'none');
  }
});

When Austria acceded to the European Union (EU) in 1995, the jurisdiction of the Austrian Parliament over legislation in various policy areas was transferred to the European Union. In order to safeguard the national legislative body's influence on the European decision-making process, amendments were made in the Federal Constitution and subsequently incorporated in amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the National and Federal Councils. The underlying principle of the Austrian Parliament's right to participate in EU matters is its right to be informed in detail by the Austrian Federal Government and to take a position on the matters concerned.
The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 strengthened the role of national parliaments in the European Union through active and direct involvement. Modifications of the Federal Constitutional Act were made in 2010 to implement these new rights, and corresponding changes to the Rules of Procedure of the National and Federal Councils entered into force in early 2012, giving the National and Federal Councils additional rights to participate directly in processes affecting EU matters. In particular, new instruments were introduced to allow supervision of compliance with the subsidiarity principle.
In order to be in a position to make the best possible use of these new rights, the "EU Information Act" and "Distribution Rules – EU" were introduced. These rules, established to govern the handling of EU documents, reorganised the Austrian Federal Government's responsibilities with respect to the provision of information to Parliament. In 2015 the "Distribution Rules – EU" were replaced by the "Information Rules Act", which applies to the National and Federal Councils.


The global world has turned into a jungle of knowledge. Wherever you turn, you find a new fruit that must be passed on to your child just. In the center of all the data flying fro to and, we sometimes forget to discuss and relax with this children. A mommy who doubles as a educator must leave the instructor behind and become mommy for a couple of hours everyday. Listen to your son or daughter. Do not merely hear the words, but spot the sentiment too. Many children find it hard to express exactly what they need. Custom written essay to your child about basic stuff and invite him to be 'just a child'. After you speak to your child, for his ideas. Few things please him more. It gives kilos to his also self-confidence.
Most parents interrupt when their children discuss. We, as individuals, detest it when someone slices across our lines. Kids keep mum because they're obligated to be silent when they are shut by us up. But this is unfair and bad. Allow your son or daughter to complete and then point out your views in a logical manner. The kid must have the self-confidence to confide in you.
Delicate parenting is the main element to successful homeschooling. Be considered a parent first, and a teacher then.
