On March 1, 1991, painter Bara Remec said goodbye forever in distant Argentina, in Bariloche, which landscape reminds of the mountainous Slovenian land. Some three months later, after more than fifty years, her works were exhibited again in her native Ljubljana.
She was always creative: she sketched and designed, carved from wood, collected stones during visiting mountains and sewed national costumes for her dolls. She was committed to art from her early childhood until the end of her rich creative life.
Bara Remec was born on January 12, 1910, in an intellectual in culturally powerful family of the renowned Ljubljana director, politician and businessman Bogumil Remec.

Marija Remec (1869–1956), From the collection of:
Bogumil Remec was a mathematician, and also an enthusiastic botanist, so he took his children to nature and encouraged them to hillwalking, climbing and skiing.
Mother Marija, born Debevec, wrote articles on cooking and housekeeping; she published them in periodicals, especially in supplements for women. She published three cookbooks, including a very popular and even nowadays up-to-date Varčna kuharica (Thrifty Cook) published during the war year of 1915.
Lichtenthurn, From the collection of:
Bara was most interested in painting and drawing images. She said that she liked going to school only because of drawing. Due to her success at the Lichtenthurn Institute, her teachers were often tolerant in assessing her knowledge of other subjects.

She also attended the Probuda private painting school. Her teachers were Saša Šantel and Mirko Šubic, she also had classes with Henrika Šantel.
During those years, Bara was happy because she could draw ten hours a day, and she was not interested in the craft.

She was also taught by Vladimir Becić, an impressionist of the French school, who recognized Bara as an excellent artist. She followed his advice not to get married so that she would devote herself to art and develop as a painter.

When she got a job as a drawing teacher at the Ursuline Gymnasium, she returned to Ljubljana from the Croatian capital. She lived with her parents. She often went to the mountains with her family, and travelled to Italy and Prague with her father. For some time, she also studied painting in Florence.

Her paintings were exhibited in Zagreb on a presentation of the Academy students. Just before the beginning of the Second World War, she exhibited with Tine Gorjup in Ljubljana, the Lada art club of the Slovenian fine artists, and with Jela Trnkoczy.
As part of an exhibition of female artists of the Little Entente, she exhibited in 1938 with Czech and Romanian women in Prague, Zagreb and Bucharest where the artists were received by the sponsor of the exhibition, a princess from the Cantacuzene family, who paid a special attention to Bara.

Already before and during the Second World War as well, Bara Remec established herself as a book illustrator. Her illustrations decorate the Dom in svet magazine, and the Slovenčev koledar, too.
The National and University Library keeps three Bara's pen drawings, which were published in the Slovenčev koledar for 1941.

Mary with child in her arms siting under a palm tree is one of the most beautiful Slovenian images of the Virgin Mary. She is drawn with minimal lines, and her gentle and elegant beauty is further enhanced by grace of a mother.

Sketch for illustration of the poem Good Evening by A. Mickiewicz, Bara Remec, 1943, From the collection of:
She successfully worked together with her brother-in-law Dr Tine Debeljak: Bara usually illustrated publications he edited and translated, and she also participated in the editions of his poetry. The publications were published in Ljubljana before and during the Second World War, and in Buenos Aires.
In 1943, a collection of poems Kitica Mickiewiczevih was published. The poems were translated by Tine Debeljak, who also wrote an introduction to the collection. Bara Remec contributed the drawings and engraved them by hand. The Library keeps six individual graphic sheets (clichés) and four pen drawings.
Illustration of A. Mickiewicz's poem The count meets Zoshka (1943) by Bara RemecNational and University Library of Slovenia
Bara Remec developed a recognizable artistic language in her illustrations and works on canvas.
Her attenuation of the visible is also reflected in her book illustrations which she placed in parallel with the world of poetry.
Hymn on the Feast of Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary (1943)National and University Library of Slovenia
The line on the graphics of illustrations of the work Kitice Mickiewiczevih preserves the lyricism of a pen drawing. The dry-needle technique works more sophisticatedly and elegantly than a version would work in linocut or woodcut. With this work, the dry needle technique remained unique of her creations.

Tine Debeljak dedicated the book entitled Poljub (Kiss) that was published in 1951, to his wife and Bara's sister Vera Remec. The cover of the book, which is kept in NUK, is wrapped in grey velvet with engraved title Poljub.

She was one of the founders of the SKA (The Slovenian Cultural Action) School of Art in Buenos Aires. Her student Jure Vombergar wrote about her:
[…] everything she earned by selling paintings, she would spend for travelling to places where Indians lived, and lived a simple life there. […] She donated everything if there was anything left to her.
Illustration from K. Mauser Zemlja sem in večnost, Buenos Aires, 1978, Bara Remec, 1978, From the collection of:
Such was Bara Remec, an independent yet sociable person, very connected with her family, and at the same time, a godmother to many Indian children in the north and south of Argentina, where she lived and painted.
She died peacefully, while sleeping, in Bariloche. Her grave, surrounded by stones she collected on her trips, lies beneath the mountains, among which is the one bearing her name - Pico Bara.

Kruisjassen is een kaartspel. Het spel vertoont sterke overeenkomsten met het klaverjassen, en verschilt daarvan vooral in de puntentelling. Waar klaverjassen vooral in West-Nederland wordt gespeeld, is het kruisjassen populairder in Oost- en Zuid-Nederland.

Spelregels
Het spel moet gespeeld worden met vier spelers. Je hebt een vaste partner en dat is degene die schuin tegenover je zit. Het spel wordt gespeeld met 32 kaarten (de 7, 8 ,9, 10, boer, vrouw, heer, aas van elke kleur). Voor een spel wordt er altijd afgesproken tot hoeveel punten je gaat, meestal is dit tot elf punten.

De gever geeft iedereen acht kaarten, hij geeft zichzelf ook acht kaarten maar hiervan legt hij de laatste kaart omgedraaid op tafel. Zodra iedere speler deze kaart heeft kunnen zien pakt hij ook deze kaart op. De kaart die omgedraaid is, is de troefkaart. De soort van deze kaart is dus troef.

Bij kruisjassen krijg je het volgende aantal punten bij een kaart. Als je de laatste slag pakt krijg je 5 punten erbij.

Na het delen van de kaarten komt de persoon die links van de gever zit op met een bepaalde kaart, het spel draait met de klok mee. Bij kruisjassen is het de bedoeling dat je van de 146 punten (141 in het spel en 5 bij de laatste slag) die in een spel zitten je er ten minste 100 pakt bij een potje. De boer en de negen van de troef zijn dus de meeste punten waard. Bij elke slag zitten vier kaarten. Degene die van de soort die op tafel wordt gegooid de hoogste kaart bijgooit (volgorde is van hoog naar laag: aas, heer, vrouw, boer, 10, 9, 8, 7) krijgt de slag, tenzij er een kaart van de troef bijgegooid wordt. Als je van de troef de boer opgooit is de slag altijd voor jou, en als je de negen opgooit ook, tenzij de boer van de troef erbij ligt, verder geldt ook hierbij de normale volgorde. Je moet echter bij een slag altijd wel bedienen van de soort, tenzij je deze niet hebt of als je een troefkaart erbij gooit.

Na een slag gaat de slag naar een van de twee personen in het team dat de slag gewonnen heeft, deze persoon telt het hele potje door het aantal punten van zichzelf en zijn medespeler. Nadat alle slagen verdeeld zijn telt hij en een van de twee tegenspelers die geteld heeft het aantal punten wat bij zijn pakje kaarten zit, als je samen met je medespeler 100 punten of meer gehaald hebt krijg je twee punten in de stand erbij. Als je alle slagen hebt gehaald krijg je vijf punten erbij in de stand. Heb je minder dan krijg je geen punten. Wie het eerste het vooraf afgesproken aantal punten haalt in de stand heeft gewonnen.

Met tik
Bij kruisjassen met tik gelden dezelfde spelregels als bij het gewone kruisjassen, alleen mag degene die de punten telt van je team op de tafel tikken nadat je 50 punten hebt gehaald, bijvoorbeeld als je waarschijnlijk toch geen 100 punten kunt halen met z'n tweeën. Degene die het eerste getikt heeft, je tegenspeler of jijzelf krijgt dan 1 punt. Als je alle slagen hebt gehaald en je hebt getikt dan krijg je zes punten extra in de stand.

Whether you want a clean smelling cologne for work, need a subtle cologne for allergies, or just like fresh smelling colognes, many men prefer mild fragrances. It's also important to keep in mind that the experience of a fragrance can be affected by a number of factors beyond the perfume itself.
I'll go over how to choose and apply fragrances for a more subtle effect as well as some top picks of mild colognes.
How you apply the perfume can make a big difference in the overall effect — even a mild cologne become overwhelming if too heavily applied. This is why it's important to learn how to properly apply your fragrances.
One to two sprays is usually adequate. If you're worried that it won't last the day, reapply the cologne after a few hours or take a look at our list of longest-lasting cologne (though they tend to be heavier).
Some people mistakenly spray on their fragrance heavily at the beginning of the day but this doesn't actually extend the longevity of the scent.
Knowing the types of fragrances and the concentration of essential oils in each can help you judge how heavy it will smell and how often you'll need to reapply it.
Where you apply the cologne also changes the strength. Traditionally it's recommended to apply perfume on the wrists or neck.
However if you prefer a lighter touch, spray the air slightly above your head and walk through the mist. This way the fragrance primarily lands in your hair and will be more diffuse.
The seasons also affect our sensory perceptions. Warm weather tends to boost our sense of smell while winter dims it. You mind find your favorite scents change with the seasons and it's completely natural.
Most brands even design around this phenomenon with winter fragrances typically stronger with woody and spicy oriental scents while summer colognes tend to be lighter and aquatic or citrus-based.
If you're looking for a clean smelling men's cologne, aim for scents with citrus, aquatic or green notes. Colognes that are heavy on musk, oud, and spice tend to be stronger more dominant.
Modern fragrances also tend to be lighter while many classic fragrances feel heavy if they haven't been reformulated — if you're looking for lighter fragrances, steer clear of the old scents you remember your dad wearing and try something new.
Once you have these basics down, you can pick a fragrance and start experimenting without fear. Here are our top picks for non-cloying, versatile and light fragrances that can be worn for most occasions.
Kenneth Cole Mankind for Men was created from a new partnership with Par lux and is a fresh, clean but still masculine scent.
Its slightly sweet citrus scent is perfect for daily wear, especially in warm climates or the summer months. Because of the sweetness, it gets my vote as a good starter scent for young men.
Launched in 1988, Cool Water is a true classic fragrance which has been subtly reformulated over the years and is still going strong. It's one of the best-selling fragrances of all time so it's definitely a crowd pleaser.
From it's opening of sea air and mint, it feels soothing, refreshing and cool. It's the cologne for the guy who doesn't wear cologne. It does fade quickly though so be prepared to reapply.
Eternity Aqua is a new edition of Calvin Klein's fragrance line was launched in 2010 to be a modern, aquatic version of Eternity for men. Its light scent is inspired by the ocean and embraces a casual effortlessness.
If we were voting purely for presentation, Vera Wang for Men would win hands-down. Everyone commented on the design of the classy and timeless bottle. The scent was launched in 2004 as a complementary companion to Vera Wang's women's fragrance.
While the two pair together perfectly, the men's fragrance can also stand on its own with its smooth, warm scent. One person commented, "this is a fragrance that will be discovered, not announced." Several commented it's also a good for the office or interviews.
Burberry Weekend for Men is a fragrance launched in 1997 that is as casual and relaxing as its namesake.
First launched in 1996, Curve has been reformulated slightly over the years and ranks well as a subtle men's fragrance. With an affordable price point and main accord of aromatic greens, it's a great purchase for young men or someone just starting with colognes.
It also ridiculous how many women love this. I have over 80 designer fragrances in my collection but none of them get as many compliments as when I wear a few cheap spritzes of Curve. Def recommend for a first date.
Base notes: sandalwood, amber, musk, vetiver, cedar, mahogany, pepper.
Launched in 2005, Nautica Blue is an aquatic we could describe as sailing under the radar, if we were pun-ny like that. Its subtle and clean scent with a high freshness factor that makes it perfect for the gym.
The affordable price also makes it easy to toss in your workout bag. The first time I wore it, I thought someone who just hopped out of the shower was standing next to me but as I worked out, I realized it was just men.
It's an easy fragrance you could also wear to the office or out running errands and not offend anyone.
Base notes: sandalwood, musk, cedar.
While Yacht Man cologne probably won't earn you any points with cologne snobs, it's a solid bet for the budget shopper who wants a safe cologne that won't overwhelm or offend.
A generic blue scent similar to Nautica Blue. A bit synthetic but for the price, it's better than expected.
Jimmy Choo Man is first men's fragrance from the famous footwear designer Jimmy Choo. Launched in 2014, it is a confident, modern scent that blends aromatic, fruity and woody notes.
It's an elegant, sophisticated designer fragrance that is perfect for when you want to choose a scent that is not overpowering but has enough character to stand out.
If you want to play it safe, spray this and don't look back. It's most notable for its crowd-pleasing appeal and versatility — good for the office or casual wear.
It's nearly impossible to beat Armani's Giorgio Acqua Di Gio for a nice, subtle smell that's appropriate almost anywhere.
Gio for Men launched in 1996, inspired by Armani's vacation in Pantelleria located in the Strait of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. As such, it's full of salty seawater, sunny warmth, and citrusy breezes.
It's a timeless classic and my biggest complaint is just that it seems like everyone has it. It's a good, solid choice for men wanting a well executed fresh, clean scent that's perfect for nearly every situation that arises.
It's clear that there's a diverse range of light, refreshing men's colognes that will feel more subtle than overbearing. Even if you're new to fragrances or trying a blind-buy, you can find one that fits your personality, budget, and lifestyle.

Kevin Holland Wins Five In A Row
by MMAFrequencyPosted on December 13, 2020
Photos By @trailblaze2top On IG
Kevin 'Trail Blazer' Holland just set the world on fire, after viscously knocking out the former middleweight Strikeforce Champion, Ronaldo 'Jacaré' Souza, at UFC 256 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Not only is this Kevin's 5th win in a row, it's also his 5th victory inside the octagon in just a one year period. This win ties him with Roger Huerta, and Neil Magny, in having the most UFC wins in a calendar year.
Also known as Big Mouth, Holland has been one of the most entertaining fighters on the UFC roster. With his witty jokes accompanied by an evil grin, Holland is turning into one of the most dangerous men in the UFC's middleweight division. Since his UFC debut, he's won 8 out of 10 fights inside the octagon, finished 6 of those opponents, and he's just getting started. Holland comes with a diverse set of weapons holding a black belt in kung fu, as well as a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Travis Lutter. This guy has a very unique style that's accompanied with crispy striking, as well as a dangerous ground game.
In his fight against Jacaré, he was able to push Jacaré off while on his back, to then landing a devastating knockout punch as he was trying to stand up. Not to mention, this all happened early on in the very first round! We've never seen a knockout like this before; Holland was basically coming off a scramble, and was able to land a powerful blow knocking Jacaré out cold. He hit Jacaré so hard he was still passing out on the stool moments after the fight ended. Holland was able to fight off Jacarés relentless grappling attack, as well as finish him at his own game. I wouldn't be surprised if Holland just ended Jacaré's career, which would be a golden feather under his cap. After seeing a finish like this, and winning five fights in one calendar year, I truly believe Kevin Holland should be nominated as fighter of the year. No other fighter has done what he's done in 2020; I mean who else can even come close?

Landscape quality privets (Ligustrum spp.) make excellent hedges because they are fast growing, easy to care for and may display fragrant, sweet smelling flowers. They can provide a lovely living fence to mark the borders of your property and offer a natural barrier against wind, snow, noise and nosy neighbors. The purpose of your hedge should be a determining factor in choosing the type of privet you plant. Different varieties thrive in different U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones. For example, Ibolium privet (Ligustrum x ibolium) grows in zones 4 to 8 while Japanese privet (Ligustrum japonicum) ranges from zone 7b to 10a.

Trimming your privet hedge will reduce the number of fragrant flowers.
Determine how much space you have available for your privet hedge. You'll need at least 5 feet of width to accommodate the spread of Japanese privet or California privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium, USDA zones 5 to 8), while glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum, USDA zones 8 to 10) can spread up to 10 feet. Take height into consideration as well. Glossy privet can reach up to 40 feet tall, while Golden Vicary privet (Ligustrum x vicaryi, USDA zones 5 to 8) typically tops out at around 6 feet, although it has been know to reach up to 12 feet. Ibolium privet is one of the fastest growing deciduous hedges, adding up to 3 feet per year during its early years, but it slows once it reaches maturity, typically achieving a height of 8 to 12 feet.
Plot out your projected hedge before you start putting the privet plants in the ground. Drive a wooden stake into the ground at your hedge's terminal points and stretch a string between the stakes to create a straight line for reference.
Determine how much space you will need between each plant considering the particular privet's mature width. You'll need 9 to 12 inches between California privets to create an attractive, dense hedge, while Ibolium privets should be spaced at least 24 inches apart. Mark the location of each plant with a flag or string marker for easy reference.
Dig a trench the length of your string line. The depth of the trench will depend on the size of the root ball of the privet you are planting. Trenching is a good method for planting bare-root privets. If you are planting container plants, you can dig individual holes instead of a trench, making the hole several inches deeper and wider than the container holding the privet.
Add several inches of organic matter, compost or a variety-specific plant mix to the trench or hole. Spread the roots and insert the privet plants into the hole to the soil depth from the previous container or pot. Work the soil around the plants' roots and upward until surface level is reached.
Water the planting area after planting the privets, saturating the soil to the depth of the roots. Continue watering weekly for the first six weeks until the roots establish themselves in the planting site. Privets will not grow well in areas constantly saturated with moisture. Add a 3-inch layer of mulch to control grass and weeds and retain soil moisture.

Dolls, to the left we have Carmen Marc Valvo's ravishing Ruched One-Piece; to the right savor the magnificence that is Merona's blissful Bandeau Shirred One Piece Swimsuit in Raspberry Sorbet via Target.
Though the Merona marvel features less ruching than the Valvo pretty along the bodice; for a mere $34.99, as opposed to the $167.00 required to add the chic Carmen piece to your swimsuit collection, it is le premiere way for a glamazon such as yourself to channel her inner retro glamour girl poolside this summer – at a price fit for the fabulous frugalista!
Thanks to Victoria's Secret and Target for the pictures.
I love the neckline! And the color is fantastic!
I actually have the Merona suit in blue and really love it!
Swimsuits can last many season if cared for properly so I think its ok to spend a little more for one since the cost per wear might be very low.
I love Target! I usually have good luck with their stuff. However, swimming suits usually run very small at Target. So you just might have to go up a size.
Target is always my favorite when it comes to Spring Break items.
Such a classic! Yeah, for Target!
Love the Carmen Marc Valvo's. That extra ruched adds some glamour to the piece. It may eve hide some little rolls .... :) if the gym doesn't do it.
i'd have to go for the carmen marc valvo, it's gorgeous!
I prefer this swimsuit with less ruching, and would pick the Merona. Summer will be here before we know it!
Love these! I think I'd go for the Merona. I don't like spending a lot on bathing suits.
I need to go to Target! Love this find.
Love the color. Such a great swim suit.
I would go for the inexpensive bathing suit for this one! It's equally as pretty!
I WANT! I must have the Merona version... ASAP!
I've always wanted a Carmen Marc Valvo swimsuit! They look like they would be so flattering for my "pear shape" :) I also find that some inexpensive suits have less "support". So I definitely need all the lift and suction I can get.
The Merona doesn't look as flattering, but that could be the model's fault. Neither is really my style, but I do adore the color!
The color is great. I've looking for a pretty one piece.
I'm so excited. It's nearly warm enough to go swimming! The Carmen Marc Valvo one is so pretty. Love it.
Looks like a cute swimsuit! I could never bring myself to spend $167 on a bathing suit, anyway.
I love Target, but never even thought about buying a swimsuit there. Am so glad one-piece suits are more of an option now -- without looking matronly. Thanks! I found your site through Whole Latte Life -- great blog!
This both look great but I think my favorite is the Merona. I really like the color also. Glad I found your blog.
This swimsuit is so cute! I adore all these vintage inspired styles.
I think I would spring for the Carmen. The ruching on the bodice is really pretty. I usually get suits with straps though, I need the extra support.
Maybe it's just the way its presented, but the Carmen looks ten times better!
I so love you! I am so happy to see some one piece. I don't wear two pieces so this is perfect. It is so difficult to banish the stigma of the one piece!
I actually prefer the pricier one this time around. I really, really adore the look though. Not enough girls rock the one-piece.
Love this suit and I love the color too!!!
I WANT THIS SWIMSUIT !
What a killer shade! I love it.
Well summer is coming to an end here in Australia, but I do think they are a gorgeous colour. Not sure if it's the model that makes the Valvo more attractive, I'm sure it has something to do with it!
The Merona is stunning. Love it! OMG, summer is here. need to shape up!
I got falling love with Carmen Marc!
Target had a really cute lace sundress last time I was there.
they're very much alike!!! woah!
I've been eying the vintage one pieces at Target for awhile and this one is cute!
Let me just say that I have been borderline obsessed with this suit since like like 239432 years ago when they did that Vanity Fair Desperate Housewives cover where they all wore different colors of it. Newport News' Shape FX swimsuit line also has a cheaper version that comes with magic cloth to make you skinny.
Ohh one-piece bathing suits never looked so good! I think I need to get one for this summer. Though the Merona is definitely a close second, I'm going to have to splurge and get the Carmen Marc Valvo one! I love the extra ruching!
I love both! the color is great and the shape!
I like both, but I think the styling done for Carmen Marc Valvo swimsuit is much nicer.
mg your blog is super cute!!!

ANNIE L. GARDNER v. BOSTON ELEVATED RAILWAY COMPANY. FREDERICK M. GARDNER v. SAME.
204 Mass. 213
Present: Knowlton, C. J., Morton, Braley, Sheldon, & Rugg, JJ.
Negligence. Street Railway. Carrier, Of passengers. Evidence, Relevancy, Opinion: experts. Witness, Impeachment of.
The degree of care which a common carrier of passengers owes to such passengers is the utmost care which is consistent with the nature of the carrier's undertaking with a due regard for all other matters that ought to be considered in conducting the business; and, in an action against a corporation operating a street railway, for personal injuries alleged to have been incurred while the plaintiff was a passenger on a car of the defendant, it is error for the presiding judge to instruct the jury that the defendant's duty as a common carrier required it to exercise toward its passengers the highest degree of care which could be exercised "consistent with the operation of the road," this being an insufficient statement of the limitations upon the liability of a carrier of passengers.
In an action by a woman against a corporation operating a street railway, for personal injuries alleged to have been incurred while the plaintiff was a passenger on a car of the defendant, a nerve specialist, who was called as a witness by the plaintiff, testified that he examined the plaintiff at the request of her family physician and that in his opinion the plaintiff was suffering from traumatic neurosis, for which the accident as described would be an adequate cause. On his cross-examination he testified to statements, which he had made in an article previously written about litigation for accidents and nervous affections in connection therewith, and which might be found by the jury to affect the weight of his reasons for the opinion which he had given in his direct examination and the weight of the opinion itself. The judge in his charge so instructed the jury as to exclude from their consideration the statements made by the specialist in the article referred to. Held, that the exclusion was erroneous.
TWO ACTIONS OF TORT , the first by a married woman against a corporation operating a street railway, for personal injuries alleged to have been incurred while the plaintiff was a passenger on a car of the defendant on Massachusetts Avenue at the corner of Boylston Street in Boston on January 26, 1906, and the second action by the husband of the plaintiff in the first action for medical expenses and loss of consortium caused by her injuries. Writs dated May 15, 1906.
In the Superior Court the cases were tried together before.
Bond, J. The plaintiff in the first case testified, among other things, that at about four o'clock in the afternoon of the day named above she waited to take a car for South Boston; that she was waiting on the Post Office side of Massachusetts Avenue; that a car came in from South Boston on the right hand track, that is, the track nearer to her; that the car came to a stop at the regular stopping place there; that, after stopping, the trolley was taken around to the other end of the car ready to start in the opposite direction, toward South Boston, along Massachusetts Avenue; that other passengers had boarded the car; that she went to the rear end and put one foot on the step; that the conductor was on the rear platform with his back to her as she started to get on; that, while she had one foot on the step and was just bringing up the other foot from the ground to the step, the conductor without looking around toward her rang two bells and the car started suddenly; that she grasped with her right hand the grab handle on the dasher on the car and was swung out and twisted around striking her back and right arm against the dasher and partially throwing her off; that a passenger on the rear platform took hold of her and prevented her from falling and a second passenger tried to help her; that somebody shouted and the car went along for a block when the conductor stopped the car; that when it stopped the two passengers mentioned helped her to get upon the car; and that she then went into the car and sat down.
One Dr. Richardson, mentioned in the opinion, testified that he was a nerve specialist, and that he examined the plaintiff on September 19, 1906, at the request of her family physician. Besides the testimony of this witness which is stated in the opinion, he testified that, so far as he knew, there was nothing the matter with the plaintiff when he examined her except the nervous trouble which he had described; and that it was from the objective and subjective symptoms, coupled with her history of the case, that he made his diagnosis of traumatic neurosis.
On cross-examination, he then was asked the following questions and answered them as follows: "Q. Did you write an article a few years ago entitled 'Accident Litigation — A popular Graft'? A. I did, sir. — Q. Did you in that, write
'Neurologists are now practically agreed that a special form of neurosis excited by trauma does not exist, but the term traumatic neurosis has come to be generally applied to this particular class of cases '? A. That is correct quite so. — Q. Did you say in this article 'Litigation is undoubtedly a potent causative factor in the production and prolongation of these functional neuroses'? A. That is quite true, sir. — Q. This is a functional neurosis? A. I believe it to be. . . . — Q. Did you say in that article 'It will frequently become your duty to discriminate between unconscious exaggeration and that variety of exaggeration which is the outcome of avaricious desire for litigation graft'? A. I did. . . . — Q. Did you say, also, in the article referred to, that 'In litigation cases in which there exist the strongest motives for exaggeration or deceit, it is imperative that the physicians be cautious about too unreservedly accepting the patient's statements '? A. I did say so."
The effect of the portion of the judge's charge in regard to the statements which Dr. Richardson on his cross-examination testified were contained in the article written by him is stated in the opinion. The portion of the charge in regard to the defendant's duty as a common carrier of passengers is there quoted.
At the close of the charge the defendant excepted to so much of it as related to the degree of care required of the defendant and also to so much of it as related to the evidence of Dr. Richardson. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in each case, in the first case in the sum of $3,000, and in the second case in the sum of $1,500. The defendant alleged exceptions.
The cases were submitted on briefs.
F. Ranney & E. B. Horn, for the defendant.
J. H. Baldwin, for the plaintiffs.
Sheldon, J. The female plaintiff seeks to recover for personal injuries alleged to have been caused to her by the sudden starting of one of the defendant's cars, while she was stepping into it, through the negligence of the conductor. On the evidence the case was one for the jury to pass upon.
1. The defendant contends that the judge at the trial, in charging the jury upon the issue as to the defendant's negli-
gence, set the standard of its duty too high; and we are of opinion that this complaint is well founded. The judge said to the jury: "The common carrier has a duty with reference to the passengers, which is to exercise the highest degree of care which can be exercised by human agency, consistent with the operation of the road. It is not the care of ordinary prudence; it is the highest degree of care which a man can exercise with reference to running his car; and the failure of the conductor to exercise proper care is the negligence of the road. ... It was the duty of the conductor to observe whether people were getting on or off the car when the car was stopped, and to give the passengers a reasonable time, those who were getting on the car, to get on and reach a place of reasonable safety; not that they are obliged to give them time to get to a seat, but to give them time to get to a place of reasonable safety; and if the car started without giving that time, then you consider whether that is that high degree which the law compels the common carrier to exercise; and if it was not, then the company were negligent."
It is reasonable care under the existing circumstances that one person has the right to require of another; and that degree of care becomes increased with any increase of the apparent danger involved in its absence or with the increased power of control of one of the parties whose conduct is in question. Uggla v. West End Street Railway, 160 Mass. 351. Cunningham v. Hall, 4 Allen 268. A common carrier of passengers either by rail or by water has so complete a control and the consequences of negligence on his part may be so serious that he is justly held to a very high degree of care for their safety; and accordingly it has been often said, both in this and in other jurisdictions, that he is held to the exercise of the highest degree of care. But as was pointed out in Dodge v. Boston & Bangor Steamship Co. 148 Mass. 207, 217, 218, this phrase and similar words which have been used to convey the same idea mean simply that the carrier is bound to use the utmost care consistent with the nature of his undertaking and with a due regard for all other matters that ought to be considered in conducting the business. This conductor was not bound absolutely to exercise the highest degree of care in run-
ning his car, but only the highest degree of care which was consistent with the practical performance of all his duties in seeing that the car was run safely without unreasonable delays, and so as to provide for the safety and convenience and properly rapid transit of his passengers. What was required of him was the highest degree of care consistent with the practical management and operation of his car for the carriage of passengers, "or in other words, the requirement [was] reasonable care according to the nature of the contract" with the passengers. Galligan v. Old Colony Street Railway, 182 Mass. 211, 214, 215. Carroll v. Boston Elevated Railway, 200 Mass. 527. Marshall v. Boston & Worcester Street Railway, 195 Mass. 284, 286. Millmore v. Boston Elevated Railway, 194 Mass. 323. Olds v. New York, New Haven, & Hartford Railroad, 172 Mass. 73, 77.
None of these qualifications was stated to the jury in the case at bar; the rule was given to them as an absolute one without explanation other than that the care to be required must be "consistent with the operation of the road." This was not a sufficient statement of the limitations which we have mentioned. We cannot say that juries are so inclined to belittle the duties of common carriers or to hold them to so insufficient a degree of responsibility that we can regard this error as trivial or as one that may be disregarded.
2. Dr. Richardson testified in chief that in his opinion the plaintiff was suffering from traumatic neurosis, for which the accident as described would be an adequate cause. On cross-examination he testified to statements which he had made in an article previously written about litigation for accidents and nervous affections in connection therewith. Some of these statements might be found by the jury to affect the weight both of his reasons for the opinion which he had given on direct examination and of the opinions themselves to which he had testified. Snow v. Adams, 200 Mass. 251.
The effect of the judge's charge as to Dr. Richardson's statements in this article was to exclude them wholly from the consideration of the jury for any purpose; and this was erroneous. There is nothing in Payne v. Springfield Street Railway, 203 Mass. 425, inconsistent with this conclusion. Of course a physician's opinion about a plaintiff's condition, formed simply
upon the cases of other persons, would not have been competent; but that was not this case.
The second case, in which the husband of the plaintiff in the first suit seeks to recover for the damages caused to him by the injury done to her, stands upon the same footing as her own case. Lundergan v. New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, 203 Mass. 460.
Exceptions sustained.

Home » Communist Texts » Introductory Texts from the Meeting on 'Crisis in the European Union – What next?'
Feb 8, 2015 by Communist
The following is the introductory texts from the Midlands Discussion Forum meeting held in Birmingham on the 7th of February 2015 "Crisis in the European Union – What next?" Due to me not being able to attend a audio version will not be available.
EU in crisis
Lots of bullshit talked about EU in Britain about European dictatorship bureaucracy, federal monolithism and so forth. In UK it has become an aunt sally to blame for all ills and anti-EU rhetoric has been a major source of and outlet for the resurgence of nationalism in recent decades. Interestingly the pro and anti EU argument cuts right across the left and ring parties. Hopefully left communists can agree however that we would neither vote for or against it but see quite straightforwardly as one part of the modern day capitalist state structures.
Planning for some sort of European community began during WW2 alongside planning for NHS etc as encouragements to keep the population fighting with images of a better society after the war. The EUs stated objectives were firstly to prevent another war reappearing in Europe esp between France and Germany and secondly economic reconstruction. This was supported by Britain but for European countries – not for the UK which still saw itself as a world power with a Commonwealth and special relationship with USA to rely upon
With the splitting of Europe into US and Russian spheres of influence then it immediately gained strategic as well as economic importance.
The EU began life with 6 countries basically those defeated and trashed by WW2.
The 50s saw early attempts to implement some sort of European community including a Single European Army and eventually the European Coal and Steel comm. The latter is clearly evidence of the focus on reconstruction. In addition, economically the major aspect of the EUs activities related to agriculture and food supply and this still remains the largest item of EU expenditure.
UK joined in the first expansion in 1972 as the economic crisis hit and its relationships with the ex empire and the USA became obviously less beneficial.
There are now 28 countries with a total population of about 500m. 19 of those have the euro as their official currency
What is the EU
Whilst the main area of expenditure has been agriculture, probably the main objective has been an increase in economic efficiency for member economies ie the reduction of production and trading costs. To do this the general philosophy (apart from agriculture) has basically been a private enterprise and free market based ideology.
Throughout 60s to 90s EU had a much less productive economy than America and Japan and the goal of main bits of EU legislation – the single market and euro legislation – were attempts to redress that
Today the EU as a whole has a larger economy than any single country in the world but remains less efficient than the USA (the EU economy is a bit larger than the USAs but its population is much larger). Japan's economic problems mean it has fallen behind the EU. China and Russia are markedly less efficient. The EU accounts for 25% of world trade and 20% of global gdp
EU's role in capitalism
So what function does the EU perform with capitalism. It is a supranational organisation – Nations or state governments join not people, and on joining, certain elements of national state functions pass over to EU. Essentially there is a division of labour with the EU taking on a role as an economic government whilst leaving political and social control to national governments (apart from possibly visa systems to control inward migration). Despite the rhetoric in the UK, this is effectively a federal structure already.
This does mean a lessening of authority in each national state. and there lies the core contradictions for the EU. The well established states in Europe are unlikely to dissolve themselves and commit to an official federal or national structure but this leaves EU open to anti-democratic tag as clearly it is managed by committees of government officials and not easily able to present the democratic front through a parliamentary structure. In this period of a globalised economy, nationalist ideology clearly remains a strong keystone of capitalist ideology and control but the EU is not easily able to tap into that .
The EU is then a product of post war situation and US strategy towards reconstruction. The Bourgeoisie had learnt from its failures following WW1 in terms of both managing the economy and controlling the working class. The US, as the only remaining economic power, saw the opening up all economies for its products as in its interests, and followed policies which required therefore redeveloping the damaged economies and free and open markets as a way to access them. Marshall plan funded those markets and the EU enabled that through major reductions of import tariffs from pre-war levels – sometimes you come across the accusation of fortress Europe but that never has been the case, it's a trading bloc
EU therefore fits in with US bloc strategies following WW2 and , for me, it is a reflection of the globalisation process of recent decades albeit at a regional level. The focus has been on internationalisation of trade and product standardisation and the lessening of market regulation by individual states which reflects a product of the inability of nation states to provide a sufficient framework for the development of industry. Although large in world terms, individual European economies are just not large enough in terms of value terms or market size for today's industries.
Politically, the EU has never had a specific objective for political structure of European countries just economic objectives ie no war and more competitive markets for trading. Here is a further weakness for the EU, is that it cannot easily act as a united power within capitalist society and has repeatedly failed to establish itself as a decisive political and military power in neighbouring conflicts in eg the former Yugoslavia, Turkey, Cyprus, Middle East and recently Ukraine. Hence today it is Russia and China that once again appear to be emerging as bloc leaders to rival the USA and not the EU.
On defence, I note that EU spending on arms is low in world terms despite the high technological level and the high level of sales. So an important industry in terms of production but presumably this also reflects the EUs weak capacity to act as an independent power. Germany particularly has been pushing to have an increased capacity to act in conflicts whilst Britain and France maintain the desire to do so but will now continue to have economic problems to expand financial commitments without a significant external impetus.
The UK has always had an uneasy relationship within the EU; this is historical in the sense it comes from UK's basic reluctance to admit its decline in status and influence on the world economy and submit to others that don't speak English (refer to Thatcher's statement that the English speaking world produces the answers and the others produce the problems). As I suggested earlier, the divisions over Europe mean that EU is not a left versus right issue – it spreads right across spectrum of left and right politics, so not just a mainstream party issue but from trots to Combat 15 or Pegida. The current Conservative govt has similar problems to the Thatcher/Major era in that they are economically in tune with the EU strategies – remember that it was the Conservative Govt that took Britain in to the EU and Thatcher/Major that signed up to the Single Market and the Maastricht Treaty. However, politically, the UK has had ongoing problems with the transfer of authority to European institutions. Indeed the anti EU propaganda has been used to aid the growth of nationalism in recent decades and this division continues to worsen.
So when the UK is likely to have another referendum about membership of the EU, similarly to the Scottish referendum, is not likely to be well prepared. Economic benefits lie in continued membership but the political antagonism to membership has become very strong and it is likely to be hard for the pro European camp to win such a referendum.
No process exists for countries to leave and such a step would stimulate crisis and real problems for EU and any country leaving. Realistically it would disrupt financial markets, European trade, increase cost and reduce travel and realistically any country leaving would incurs major admin costs but would probably have to retain a lot of legislation from single market even if not remaining within it.
Interestingly and despite this stance, Osborne is quoted as saying recently that the lack of agreement between Greece and Brussels would be major threat to the stability of the global economy
Which brings us to the situation for Greece. Economically bankrupt with huge debts much greater that its annual GDP, the consequences of Greece's overt austerity policies may be an interesting foretaste of the impact of tough austerity policies on a weary population. The working class appears relatively docile now as it does throughout Europe, but there is clearly difficulty in controlling the population and there has been a significant move left politically with the new government. The dissatisfaction with austerity has been channelled again into nationalist policies with an anti EU flavour. This is emerging in Spain too and would easily take hold in the UK. However the approach being taken by Syriza is not to withdraw either from EU or the Euro but a loosening of austerity policies. Whether the EU can achieve this and retain credibility here is a major question for the coming period and as Osborne implies the departure of Greece let alone the UK would have major impacts on the economies in Europe and the capacity of the EU to function.
EU in crisis – Rather than crisis management, the EU is a product of its role in reconstruction so emphasis in its approach is squarely on increasing efficiency of exploitation in response to the decline of capitalism. The euro has been around for little more than a decade but strengths for the euro are its use in international trade (2nd only to the dollar) and the relative strength of the euro in terms of value
EU aims to provide support to weak economies but clearly from Greece experience social response is hard to control where the nationalist, anti eu rhetoric comes to fore and ultimately all it can be is an Aunt Sally, a situation likely to continue to cause problems
Nevertheless the high level of debts of 2008/9 have been reduced but remain high and most countries now have debt above the previously agreed Maastricht level. Unemployment is very high in Greece and Spain. Whilst only Cyprus and Slovenia are currently experiencing a shrinking economy, growth rates are low and the euro itself has been falling in value – although it is now only down to its original rates against the pound and the dollar, so I'm not convinced this is as yet a sign of collapse.
Deflation. Inflation has remained persistently low in the EU and so consequently have interest rates. This seems to lead to a danger currently of deflation particularly because of the steep fall in oil prices. Perhaps someone would like to take that one up as I have never quite worked out why deflation is a problem for a capitalist economy rather than just a sign that goods are getting cheaper??!!.
TTIP could be a significant issue in the future. US appears to be trying to force access to broader markets and as CWO is primarily related to the needs of western imperialism by strengthening US grip on global economy
In preparing this introduction I find the discussion of economic issues and the EU continually gets drawn to the political viewpoint. The EU does not have its own capital or economy as such, the member nations still manage those so this issues become political. Even a discussion of the Euro becomes focused on political issues.

Perkins to Offer Course on the Work of William J. "Billy" Abraham
46779326	2021-12-01T16:42:50+00:00	December 1, 2021|
Perkins School of Theology will offer a new course, Contemporary Issues in the Philosophy of Religion: The Work of William J. Abraham (TC 8308) during the Spring 2022 semester. The course will be open to Perkins students as well as to anyone with an interest in Abraham's life and writings.
Instructors will survey the work of Abraham, a Perkins faculty member emeritus who died suddenly October 7, 2021. Abraham joined the faculty in 1985, and was the Albert Cook Outler Professor of Wesley Studies from 1995 until his retirement in May 2021. Abraham was a prolific author, a sought-after lecturer and an evangelist who helped plant churches in different parts of the world.
Bruce D. Marshall
"He is one of the most important Christian thinkers of his generation," said Bruce D. Marshall, Lehman Professor of Christian Doctrine at Perkins. "Not only was he a very productive scholar but also a very creative one who had a tremendous impact among theologians and beyond the academy."
Marshall will co-teach the course with Rebekah Miles, Susanna Wesley Centennial Professor of Practical Theology and Ethics, and Dallas Gingles, Site Director of Perkins' Houston-Galveston Extension Program.
Rebekah Miles
The class will meet on Mondays 1 p.m. to 3:50 p.m., January 24 through May 2, with the first hour taught via lecture in the Great Hall of Prothro Hall. A seminar will follow in Prothro 209. Recorded lectures will also be available for viewing afterward. The course will also be available via livestream. Course leaders also hope to incorporate guest lectures from Abraham's former students via recorded videos or Zoom. For non-students, Perkins will offer the option of auditing the course at a reduced fee.
Dallas Gingles
The class will study several of Abraham's works, including: Divine Agency and Divine Action (Oxford University Press), the third volume of which is Abraham's Systematic Theology; Canon and Criterion in Christian Theology: From the Fathers to Feminism (Oxford University Press); and Among the Ashes: On Death, Grief, and Hope (Eerdmans), a reflection on the nature of death and Christian faith, written after the death of Abraham's son Timothy. The instructors also plan to cover at least one of Abraham's books on Methodism/Wesley studies in the course.
"His writing covers an extraordinary range," said Marshall. "He wrote for theologians, engaging theological questions at the highest intellectual level, but he also wrote works for lay Christians and even nonbelievers. Many of his books published 30-40 years ago are still in print."
The fee to audit the course and attend the lectures is $310. Space permitting, anyone auditing the course may also choose to attend the seminar portion of the class, at a fee of $930. Persons interested in auditing the should contact Joe Monroy, Registrar and Director of Academic Services, at jmonroy@smu.edu or call 214-768-2152.
"This is an opportunity for people outside of Perkins to encounter his work and to understand the impact he made on the church, the academy, and the world," said Marshall. "Everyone is welcome."

Q: Can only "agents" build and submit Applications to Apple? I'm afraid I know the answer to this but I'll ask on the longshot chance that I'm wrong:
I've been doing some freelance work creating an iPhone application for a company.  They've created their own developer account and added me as an team member with "admin" rights.  That seems to be the highest assignable rights (with the only higher level being "agent" and belonging only to whoever signed up for the account).  Yet, I don't have an option under the provisioning portal to create a distribution certificate or profile.
Is there any way to create these myself without having to ask my client for their primary login?  They're not particulary tech savy so it would be difficult to walk them through the process to create the necessary certificates (and would require me giving them a certificate request from my computer, etc. etc.).   But it seems like there should be some way to create a distribution build without "agent" rights, right?  Could Apple seriously expect only one person from a company to do all the building and uploading of apps to the store?

A: You are right. Only the agent can create a distribution profile and a distribution certificate. There is no way around that. The easiest thing to do is work with him/her to create the key and certificate for distribution and install a copy of both on your machine as well. They are also the only one who can submit the binary on iTunes Connect.

A: It is annoying, but that's the way the final build must work - done by the team agent. I ended up getting my boss's login info. Switching team agents is also hard. IIRC, you can't be the team agent on two separate accounts.

What is the Difference Between a Conservator and a Guardian in Illinois? | Illinois Conservatorships explained
In this article we will discuss the difference between a conservator and a guardian in Illinois, including "What are the Responsibilities of a Conservator in Illinois?", "What are the Responsibilities of a Guardian in Illinois?" and "How to Appoint a Guardian or Conservator in Illinois."
Although Illinois guardianships and conservatorships are very similar, there are some important differences to understand when deciding which may be appropriate for your loved ones. Individuals may need a guardian or a conservator in the case of an illness, injury or disability that makes them incapable of making decisions regarding their personal health or finances. The person needing the guardian or conservator is known as an incapacitated person because they are unable to make some or all of their personal decisions. Both guardians and conservators are appointed by a court and require a court process to determine the need of the incapacitated person.
What are the Responsibilities of a Conservator in Illinois?
A conservator is typically appointed to take care of someone's finances in the event of the person being unable to do so his/herself. A conservator is also known as a "guardian of the estate." We explain the role of a guardian of the estate in detail in Illinois Guardianship of the Estate explained. Conservators will keep detailed records and accountings of all actions and decisions made with a person's assets. Conservators must present an annual report to the court to ensure that proper and responsible decisions are being made. A conservator has no control over their conservatee's personal affairs or health decisions, they solely control the person's finances.
What are the Responsibilities of a Guardian in Illinois?
The term "guardian" is sometimes used interchangeably with "guardian of the person," as opposed to "guardian of the estate." We explain the role of a guardian of the person in detail in Illinois Guardianship of the Person explained. A guardian of the person is typically not appointed to deal with large sums of money, but to deal with healthcare and non-financial decisions of someone who is unable to make the decisions themselves. A guardian typically is able to make decisions regarding housing, education, healthcare and social activities. Although guardians may deal with small amounts of money and financial decisions, most money decisions are not up to a guardian to make.
Appointing a Guardian or Conservator in Illinois
Once an incapacitated person is served with the correct papers in relation to having a guardian or conservator (See How to File a Petition for Guardianship in Illinois), the trial requires an in-depth investigation into the person's disability, illness or injury to determine what kind of additional care the disabled adult or his or her estate requires. The incapacitated person will normally have a guardian ad litem who will be responsible for investigating the situation and making recommendations to the court regarding the disabled adult's best interests.
Typically, guardianship and conservatorship preferences go to the closest family members who live in the area of the person requiring care. If a person has no close family members or friends, a professional conservator or guardian may be appointed. A person can be appointed as both a conservator and a guardian, if the incapacitated person requires both, or the court may decide to appoint two individuals to fill these roles.
Both roles are very important and require a large amount of responsibility, it is important for the person petitioning to be the guardian or conservator to understand which role they will be undertaking and what decisions they will be allowed to make within that role. Conservators must understand that they are still liable to the courts, and all financial decisions must be recorded and reported annually to the court.

Driven Carey warms to climate change
Allrounder discusses her international dreams after moving south from NSW to Tasmania in the off-season
22 May 2019, 07:00 AM AEST
Nicola Carey isn't quite sure about the temperature in her new home just yet.
But the opportunities her recent move to Tasmania could present – both at state and international level – made it an offer far too good to pass up.
Carey's surprise move to Tasmania and Hobart Hurricanes was announced last week, with the allrounder departing her native NSW and the Sydney Thunder, where she'd played since the inaugural season of the Rebel WBBL.
Carey jumps ship to 'Canes, Tigers
The 25-year-old arrived in her new hometown earlier this month but barely had time to unpack her bags before heading to Brisbane for a training camp with her Australian teammates at the Bupa National Cricket Centre.
"I was looking for a bit of a fresh start and I thought this was the perfect place to come down so, here I am in really cold Hobart," Carey told cricket.com.au.
"I was looking for a little bit more opportunity and the Tigers and Hurricanes put forward a really good opportunity.
"I thought it was too good to pass up. I've heard really good things about the program down here. And speaking to (new teammate) Steph Daffara and a couple other girls who have worked under (coach) Salliann Briggs previously, they've all spoken really highly of her.
Revolution builds momentum in Tassie
"She showed me some of the program and I was seriously impressed with that."
It's been a big year for Carey, who made her one-day international debut in India last March and was part of Australia's T20 World Cup-winning squad.
She was also involved in one of the most memorable moments of the Rebel WBBL season, albeit for reasons she'd probably rather forget; her attempted final-ball six was brilliantly caught on the boundary by the Heat's Haidee Birkett, denying the Thunder a spot in the final.
Carey played all three ODIs during last year's India tour and another three against Pakistan last October, but hasn't yet managed to cement herself in the T20I side, playing just one match to date and carrying drinks through the successful World Cup campaign in the Caribbean.
Birkett's screamer seals thrilling win
And Carey isn't satisfied with just playing the odd game between drinks, and she hopes the extra responsibility she'll carry at Tasmania can help her make the case for a more permanent place in Australia's ODI and T20I XIs.
"I just felt like I am at a point now where I want to be making an impact in domestic cricket and therefore putting my name forward more so for Aussie selection," she said.
"I'm quite fresh into the set-up so I need to be putting my best foot forward where I can and this was the best place to come to get that opportunity to do that, so now I just have to make the most of it."
The shift south is a big move for the Sydney-born allrounder, whose first taste of the sport came in the backyard with her brothers before she rose up the ranks of representative cricket and broke into the NSW team before her 18th birthday.
Refreshed Aussies reset for busy year
While the weather in the Apple Isle is proving a shock to the system, it's not the only reason Carey hopes she'll be spending the majority of the winter elsewhere, as she eyes a spot in Australia's squad for the Ashes tour of the UK that begins next month.
"World Cups are massive and next to that are Ashes series," she said.
"I've never been a part of one and to play it over in England as well, that would be really exciting if I could get on that tour."
Carey was forced to sit out the trans-Tasman ODI series that ended the Australian summer in February due to a bulging disc in her back. It was a frustrating finish to the season, particularly given the allrounder had claimed player-of-the-match honours in the domestic 50-over final earlier the same month.
With the back issue now under control, Carey is eager to get back on the training track and ready for the multi-format Ashes, which will feature three ODIs, one Test and three T20Is.
Carey crafts key half-century
"It's not a major injury or anything like that, it was just very poor timing for the back end of the year, which was a bit disappointing," she said.
"It was frustrating, I suppose, because I'd gotten through the whole season unscathed and all the tours and then I couldn't really quite make it through those last few games.
"But it seems fine at the moment, it's one of those things I just need to stay on top of and hopefully it doesn't really flare up."
Australia are facing an unprecedented schedule across the next 12 months; the Ashes tour will be followed by a trip to the Caribbean in early September before a home series against Sri Lanka later the same month.
The first standalone WBBL will follow before a T20I tri-series featuring England and India leads into next year's T20 World Cup in February and March.
It's a packed period that coach Matthew Mott concedes will require careful planning and management – and some players needing to accept they simply can't play every game – but it could also be greater opportunities for players like Carey who are trying to cement a spot in the team.
"It means more games and more opportunities and I'm not sure if people will need rest, but maybe it will present more opportunities for players," she said.
"It's a pretty hard team to crack into, but I guess all I can do is continue to improve my game and put performances on the board whenever I get an opportunity, whether it's (for Australia) or domestically.
"I can't really control the whole selection side of things and the group is in a really good place. But if I did get an opportunity I'd definitely try and take it with both hands."

(Bangkok/Kathmandu, 10 September 2016) – The Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA) strongly condemns the recent series of detentions under Section 57 of the Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Act that criminalises online dissent and criticism of public affairs in Bangladesh. FORUM-ASIA urges the Government of Bangladesh to repeal this Act and release people arbitrarily arrested so far.
Together with Sections 54, 55 and 56, Section 57 has been grossly abused in recent years to suppress dissent. Section 57 of the ICT (Amendment) Act (2013) states that if any person deliberately publishes any material in electronic form that: causes the deterioration of law and order, prejudices the image of the state or person; or causes to hurt religious beliefs, the offender can be punished with a minimum of 7 up to a maximum of 14 years imprisonment. The offence is also categorised as 'non-bailable'. Criminalising online communication based on very broad and vague grounds has subjected the Act to misinterpretation and abuse by the authorities.
A writ petition challenging the validity of the law is pending in the High Court of Bangladesh. The petition has challenged Section 57 of the law, based on arguments that it is in direct conflict with Articles 27, 31, 32 and 39 of the Constitution.
On 28 August 2016, Dilip Roy, a 22 year old student at Rajshahi University was arrested for protesting on Facebook against a coal plant in the Sundarbans, the largest mangrove area in the world. He has been denied bail by the local court and risks 14 years imprisonment under the ICT Act. A public agitation is also going on calling for the cancellation of the proposed power plant in the Sundarbans due to its negative environmental and social impacts.
Scores of journalists, human rights activists, writers and bloggers have been facing charges for lawful online expression. According to Odhikar, a leading national human rights organisation and a member of FORUM-ASIA in Bangladesh, at least 27 people have been detained under the ICT Act from January 2016 to July 2016. Adilur Rahman Khan and ASM Nasiruddin Elan from Odhikar, are also facing charges under the ICT Act since 2013. Cases against them are still sub judice in Supreme Court of Bangladesh.
The arbitrary crackdown on dissenting voices has led Bangladeshi telecommunication regulators to block online access to about 35 websites, which criticise the current Government and its public policies.
'The ICT Act restricts freedom of expression and is in complete violation of Bangladesh' obligations under international human rights law, especially the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights', says Mukunda Kattel, Director, FORUM-ASIA, 'This Act is being misused by the Government to crack down on dissenting voices. Victim's right to remedy has been severely curtailed'.
Instead of reviewing the misuse of the present Act, the Bangladesh Government has recently proposed legislation to incorporate Section 54, 55, 56 and 57 of the ICT Act in the proposed 'Digital Security Act' adopted by the Cabinet on 22 August 2016.
FORUM- ASIA reiterates its call to the Government of Bangladesh to safeguard freedom of expression of people in Bangladesh, and repeal Section 57 of the ICT Act, which gives the Government flexible and unhindered means to stifle any opposing voices. Bangladesh should comply with international human rights norms as well as release people who have been implicated under this Act.
