On 22 April 2015 Nottingham had the honour and pleasure of hosting a delegation who had come to the city to explore business opportunities with India. The blog of Paragon Law MD, Thalej Vasishta, reflects on the visit and what it could bring to the local economy. To read the blog please click here.
How do we best measure the return on investment from development of talent?
Paragon Law in Nottingham has secured the national Law Society's law management quality mark, Lexcel.
Lexcel is developed specifically for the legal profession. It is an optional, recognised accreditation scheme for law firms and in-house legal departments which gives assurance that a practice meets high client care and business management standards.
To gain and retain Lexcel accreditation, practice must undergo a rigorous intial then annual application and assessment process. This includes conducting background checks and an on-site visit from an experienced, trained Lexcel assessor.
Marcus Worthington, Operations Director, said: "While we are proud to have secured Lexcel, it is our clients and staff who are the main beneficiaries. They can be assured that the way we manage the practice has their interests at heart and runs efficiently. There is a lot of choice in the legal services market, but being Lexcel accredited demonstrates our commitment to client care and best practice".
Lucy Scott-Moncrieff, President of the Law Society of England and Wales, said: Gaining and maintaining Lexcel is no mean feat. There are many facets of being a Lexcel accredited law firm, including client care. A commitment to customer service in today's evermore competitive legal services market is vital.
"By undergoing the rigorous Lexcel application and assessment process practices can show the positive steps they are taking to help clients in the increasingly diverse, complicated legal services market.
The scheme is a beacon of quality to clients and potential clients alike".
Paragon Law joins more than 1200 other legal practices in England & Wales with Lexcel accreditation. The practice management accolade has also gone international, with firms in Scotland, the Middle East, Poland and the Republic of Ireland having gained accreditation.
Thalej Vasishta gave a talk at an education conference recently in Delhi, India hosted by Manipal University and University of Nottingham. The subject is on the interaction between "business and the Higher Education sector" and in particular how Paragon Law contribute to education….
This was a presentation Thal gave on 18/9 at a UKTI conference to UK business leaders on how to trade in India. The presentation talks about how Paragon Law set up in India and provides advice on how to transfer staff to India on a short term and long term basis.
With a population of over 1.2 billion people of which 50% of the population are under the age of 25 old and with an expanding consumer base you and your business should consider market opportunities in India.
At this event the UK Trade & Investment and UK India Council have bought together experts on India that will provide you with an insight on subjects such as how to develop an India market entry strategy, the Rules on foreign investment in India and its emerging sectors.
The day will begin with a keynote speech from the Chair of UKIBC, the Rt. Hon. Patricia Hewitt and a videolink with Barry Lowen, UKTI Country Director in India.
Thalej Vasishta, CEO of the Paragon Group will touch upon our experience of setting up in India and his presentation will focus on how to transfer staff from the UK to India either on short or long term assignments together with HR considerations in the Indian market.
Information will also be provided by the UKTI on how your business can benefit from a UKTI arranged market visit to India.
From 6 April this year the UK government's new Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) will be legally effective. The SEIS regime offers one of the most significant and attractive tax relief schemes in the UK code and is designed to incentivise the flow of capital to promising early stage companies.
As a digital riptide continues to disrupt traditional business models at an ever greater rate, for savvy investors these SEIS tax breaks offer an incredible opportunity to back next generation web-based businesses which can quickly develop a global brand based on clever use of ever cheaper internet technologies.
An individual making a SEIS investment will benefit from income tax relief of 50% of the amount invested (up to a maximum of £100,000 per tax year) regardless of the rate at which the individual is taxed, exemption from capital gains tax on any proceeds of sale of the SEIS investment and also exemption from capital gains tax on the proceeds of sale of other capital assets during the tax year 2012/2013 if and to the extent those gains are reinvested in a SEIS qualifying company. These factors go some way to significantly de-risking the investment.
Notably, a company that first raises fund through SEIS will still be able to go on and take advantage of investment raised under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) or from a Venture Capital Trust (VCT), albeit not until the company has spent at least 75% of the SEIS monies raised.
The key limitations of an SEIS investment are that there is a limit of £150,000 that a company can raise, it can't have already raised funding via the EIS or VCT regimes and the SEIS funds must be used in a qualifying business activity within three years of the investment.
Also, the shares must be issued within two years of incorporation of the company for SEIS relief to apply, the company must have a UK permanent establishment, the investor can't be an employee of the company (although they can be a director), the company must have fewer than 25 full time employees and the investor can't hold more than 30% of the company's ordinary share capital.
For individuals who are non UK residents (or who don't qualify for SEIS), a trust agreement can be put in place whereby an eligible UK resident can invest and hold the legal title to the SEIS shares on behalf of the foreign investor who has a beneficial interest and thereby receives all the benefits of his investment and the SEIS tax reliefs.

Luigi Colani (born Lutz Colani 2 August 1928 – 16 September 2019) was a German industrial designer.

His long career began in the 1950s when he designed cars for companies including Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Volkswagen, and BMW. In 1957, he dropped his first name Lutz using the name Luigi. In the 1960s, he began designing furniture, and as of the 1970s, he expanded in numerous areas, ranging from household items such as ballpoint pens and television sets to uniforms and trucks and entire kitchens. A striking grand piano created by Colani, the Pegasus, is manufactured and sold by the Schimmel piano company.

His unconventional designs made him famous, not only in design circles, but also to the general public. He received numerous design awards, although his unconventional approach left him largely an outsider from the mainstream of industrial design.

Style
The prime characteristic of his designs are the rounded, organic forms, which he terms "biodynamic" and claims are ergonomically superior to traditional designs. His "kitchen satellite" from 1969 is the most prominent example of this school of thought. Many of his designs for small appliances are being mass-produced and marketed, but his larger designs have not been built, "a whole host of futuristic concepts that will have us living in pods and driving cars so flat that leg amputation is the only option."

Life and career
Born in Berlin, Colani was the son of a Swiss film set designer of Kurdish descent<ref>Concept Car Design: Driving the Dream , p. 84</ref> and a mother of Polish descent.

 1950s

By 1953, he was living in California where he was Head of New Materials project group at McDonnell Douglas in California.

Moving to auto design, in 1954, he received the Golden Rose international prize for creation and design, in Geneva, Switzerland, for special Fiat bodywork; he would be the originator of many Fiat designs in the coming years. A constant innovator, by 1958 he was also interested in sailing vessels. His catamaran design was a racing success in Hawaii.

Returning to cars, in 1963 he introduced the world's first plastic monocoque sports car, based on the BMW 700, and in 1960 the world's first kit car in series, the Colani GT, which sold 1,700 copies. In 1966 he showed his sports coupe design at the IAA in Frankfurt.

1960s
By the 1960s, his design range had also expanded to include household objects and furniture, beginning in 1963 with his elephant piggy bank, and in 1965 he gained worldwide success with furniture designs for Asko, Fritz-Hansen (Körperform chairs), Cor, and Kusch+Co. He also rebodied an Abarth Alfa Romeo design, based on two wrecked Abarth 1000 GT Coupés in the early 1960s.

In 1968, for Thai Airlines, he developed a two piece plastic cutlery set which the Museum of Design, Zürich, added to its collection.

1970s
He had developed a sufficient reputation and income by 1970 to establish a studio with a major design team at Harkotten Castle near Sassenberg, Germany. The studio was an enormous success, with work and exhibitions worldwide for many major companies. Meanwhile, he continued with his innovations in car design, including his 1972 design of the Eifelland Formula One car.

This period saw him making his first forays into the Japanese market, when he obtained contracts from Japanese companies for the first time. In 1973, he made his first study trip to the Far East, during which Japanese buyers recognized Colani's potential. He received invitations by five companies to establish a Colani Design Center Japan.

About this time, the "Drop" teapot he designed for Rosenthal, a world leader in porcelain, was acquired for inclusion in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York. In 1999, Rosenthal promoted a special edition of his now-famous design.

Not all of his designs were successes. For example, he created an unsuccessful design for an Olympic row boat. About this time, in the early 1970s he developed his first streamlined truck design, which he said, "was a direct response to the world oil crisis yet nobody noticed my design. They didn't get the message." He would revisit streamlined trucks later in the decade to more fanfare.

Colani's first profession as an aeronautics designer was revisited in 1976 when he was assigned the task of designing the  RFB Fanliner, the first plastic sports airplane with a Wankel rotary engine. Later, in 1985, he unveiled the Pontresina propeller-driven airplane, having two contra-rotating coaxial pusher propellers with scimitar blades mounted in the tail. The propellers, also known as "centripetal supersonic propellers", were a new design idea. The plane was a design study and is not airworthy.

By 1978, his revolutionary trucks, aircraft, car and ship studies had begun to be seen frequently at exhibitions worldwide. His interest in fuel economy continued into the 1980s. In 1981, he set a fuel economy world record set with the four-seater Colani 2CV (based on the French Citroën 2CV which consumed just 1.7 litres of gasoline to travel 100 km using a stock 2CV engine and chassis.

1980s

The year 1982 saw Colani relocating to Japan, where a year later he accepted a position as professor in Tokyo.

For Canon, he developed the "5 Systems" camera prototypes and in 1984, he was voted the No. 1 industrial designer in Japan at the Otaru exhibition for his 60 m large shell. In 1986, he received the Golden Camera Award for the Canon T90.

In 1985, his Robot Theater was the most-attended pavilion at Expo '85.

In 1986, one of his motorcycles set a world record in Italy. That year, he founded Colani Design Bern in Switzerland.

He continued to show his designs at international exhibitions, including a 1987 show at Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Car designs continued in Japan for Mazda and he did a pen design for Pelikan A.G., Germany. The Colani Cormoran aircraft design was shown in mockup at the Paris Air Show

In 1988 he opened offices in Toulouse and Bremen. He was also appointed a professor at the University of the Arts Bremen, as he meanwhile prepared on a wide-scale basis to establish new speed records on land, water and air and economy world records in Utah. He set records in a specially-designed Ferrari at Bonneville Speedway in 1991.

In 1989 he formed Colani Trading AG in Zurich, Switzerland.

In 1989, Colani organized AUTOMORROW '89 where 12 futuristic vehicles toured the U.S. from coast to coast in two trucks. Lectures and demos included at Ford in Detroit, test drivwes on the Bonneville salt flats and the Art Center of Design in Passadena.

1990s

The 1990s brought more exhibitions and more designs. He mounted an exhibition at the Centre International de l'Automobile car museum in Paris and in 1993 held shopping center expositions through Switzerland.

He designed new uniforms for aircrew at Swissair, the last designs used by the airline before re-branding as Swiss in 2002. In 1991, he designed an optical frame and jewelry collection. Also in the decade, other designs included field glasses (1993); office furniture designs for Grahl, Michigan USA (1996); a new piano for famous piano builder Wilhelm Schimmel (1997); a water bottle design for Carolinen-Brunnen, Germany and a new microscope and photo camera (both 1998); and new shower (bathroom-combination)-generation for the German company Dusar and a furniture project with Kusch & Co., Germany (1999).

In 1997 he designed the grand piano "Pegasus" in cooperation with the German piano manufacturer Schimmel Pianos, revolutionizing the traditional form and design of pianos. Schimmel builds no more than two of these instruments each year, and only to order. Celebrity owners of a Pegasus grand piano have included Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and Eddy Murphy.

The 1990s and 2000s (decade) also brought his share of design commissions in the field of desktop computing. Projects included a computer mouse design for Sicos (1992); the Colani Vobis Highscreen computer, awarded Computer of the Year in 1994; a bank terminal design project with one of the world's leading computer manufacturers (1998).
By 1995, he had begun to branch into whole structures. that year, he completed designs for major companies in the construction and building industry. China's ambassador invited Colani for future projects to Shanghai, China. There, he was awarded an honorary professorship in the Department of Architecture, College of Architecture and Urban Planning at Tongji University The following year, he unveiled his architecture project for Shanghai, called Bio-City.

2000s
His architectural designs continued with the "Human-City" architecture model for MW Energie AG in Mannheim, Germany (2000) and subsequently with an experimental house design for Hanse-Haus, the German prefabricators.

He designed new optical frames presented at shows in Milan, Paris and Las Vegas and in 2001 designed a new microscope and photo camera (for Seagull) at the Colani Shanghai office. He held more than thirty exhibitions in shopping malls (ECE-group) throughout Germany. He also opened of a world-leading museum of design, Pinakothek der Moderne, in Munich, Germany which featured several Colani designs (2002).

In the realm of packaging design, he created a new bottle design for the leading Swiss mineral-water company Valser (acquired by Coca-Cola in 2002) and created porcelain giftware creations (Cappuccino, Espresso mugs).

He undertook a "Life on Board" project for Volvo cars and created a futuristic car design called the Speedster shark.
He continued his large Supertruck designs with extreme streamlining, this time for Spitzer-Silo; the result was presented at the IAA in Hanover, Germany (2004).

A notable uniform commission was the 2003 re-design of police uniforms for the Hamburg Police department, which was later adopted throughout the whole of Germany.

In the years 2004 to 2007, a retrospective exhibition of Colani's work, called COLANI – Das Lebenswerk, took place in the "Nancy hall" of the congress center of Karlsruhe. The exhibition was not continued as funding of the hall's renovation was not achieved.

In 2007, the Design Museum in London showed his work in the exhibit Translating Nature''.

In avionics, he designed the tt-62-plane for hp-aircraft.de. He also completed a design study for a 1,000 seat passenger airplane (2005).

He completed a series of 140 sculptures of athletes for the Olympic Games in Beijing. He also participated in the "Germany in Japan 2005-6" event in the form of the "Colani Back in Japan" exhibition in the Museum for Art and Design attached to the Kyoto Institute of Technology. He also carried out a study for a robot shaped like a baby.

In 2013 the first Model (AC22) of the AGOS Luxury Computer Series, Opus Magnum, was presented at the Nowa Zukunftsmesse in Marburg, Germany.

Personal life
Colani was married to Ya Zhen Zhao since the 1990s and resided in Shanghai, China. His son Solon Luigi Colani lives in Berlin where he also works as a designer and does special effects work in the movie industry.
He was a guest speaker and presenter at the 2004 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Colani died in Karlsruhe in 2019.

His brother Victor Colani (born 1933 in Berlin) was a designer, too.

So here's Madonna's first ever appearance on UK TV!
At the time "Top of The Pops" was the biggest music show on British Television - braodcasting every Thursday evening on BBC1, back when multi-channel TV in the UK was just a dream and pop music videos and performances on the box were quite a treat!
Madonna appeared on the show broadcast Thursday January 26th 1984, having taped her performance 2 days earlier at the famous BBC Television Centre in West London.
Accompanied as ever by brother Christopher and Erica Bell, she lip-synched and danced her way through "Holiday" - and here it is from a re-broadcast in 2004.


One inspiration: the ocean. Crisp whites, cool colors, and lots of natural textures. All along I've wanted to create a primary living space that is reminiscent of slow days at the beach and it's relaxing beach house. But the space has to be modern at the same time.
Combining beach house and modern would mean intertwining the two themes with a new piece of art for the space.
I switched out dark curtains for crisp, linen-want-to-be curtains. Very beachy.
Our new couch. A great neutral color that compliments the blues throughout the room.
Ask Bobby--I've switched out the mantle pieces daily. I think I'll like this for a while. I wanted a bit of color against the white wall, but not too much since the blue canvas was large and bold. I painted three recently purchased Costco apples just so, so that Caroline's art could lean against the apples without too much business. I love how the apples kind of float against the white wall.
And lastly, my "faking" it. I told you I would be doing that for today's baby shower. That's the cool retro modern fabric from IKEA that will be covering our newly acquired Danish Modern chairs. Not upholstered yet, just nicely tucked in to create the illusion that I spent a lot of time measuring and sewing them. Faking it doesn't hurt.
More on the swingin' double shower for another time. I'm beat.

97 Клото — астероїд головного поясу, відкритий 17 лютого 1868 року французьким астрономом Ернстом Вільгельмом Темпелем у Марсельській обсерваторії, Франція. Астероїд названий на честь Клото, однією з трьох богинь долі у давньогрецькій міфології.

Тіссеранів параметр щодо Юпітера — 3,304.

За спектральною класифікацією Толена, Клото належить до астероїдів класу M, однак радіолокаційні спостереження альбедо не дають прямих підтверджень про значну наявність залізно-нікеліевих композитів у складі його поверхні. Експерименти, проведені з метою дослідження кількісного спектрального впливу сонячного вітру на астероїди, виявили, що фізичні властивості Клото сумісні з енстатитовими хондритами. Аналогічні властивості були виявлені також в астероїда Лютеція, поряд із яким у липні 2010 року пролетів європейський космічний зонд «Розетта». Можливо, дослідження Лютеції з близької відстані дадуть змогу дізнатися про Клото більше.

Спостереження за Клото в березні 1990 року дали змогу визначити його відносно великий період обертання, який становить близько півтори земні доби.

Астероїд не перетинає орбіту Землі й обертається навколо Сонця за 4,36 юліанського року.

Choosing Between Constitutional and International Law
Choosing Between Constitutional and International Law:
Why the United States May Have Good Reason To Ignore the Recent World Court Order
By JULIAN KU
Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2003
For the third time in the past five years, the International Court of Justice (the "World Court") has ordered the United States to stay the executions of foreign nationals on death row in the U.S. This time, the condemned men are three Mexican citizens.
The orders are called temporary or "provisional measures," because they impose only a temporary, not a permanent, stay of the executions, pending the ultimate outcome of the case. Nevertheless, they are intended to have the force of law for the stay's duration. The Court's authority to impose the order flows from the United Nations Charter, which is a treaty signed and ratified by the U.S.
On the previous two occasions, the U.S. failed to obey the order. Now it is likely that it will reject the World Court's command for a third time. When it does so, many critics will accuse the U.S. of flouting international law, and undermining the authority of the World Court, which is an arm of the United Nations.
These criticisms may be valid, but they also ignore an important constraint on the United States. If the U.S. were to obey the World Court's orders, it would have to choose between its constitutional commitment to federalism and its obligations under international law. All three Mexican citizens were convicted under U.S. state, not U.S. federal, law. As a result, it is doubtful whether the federal government could constitutionally obey the World Court's order, even if it wanted to.
The World Court Issues a Stay
The most recent order came as a result of a case brought by Mexico before the World Court seeking to stop the executions of all Mexican nationals in the U.S. Mexico feared that these executions might occur before the World Court case could be resolved.
Accordingly, Mexico asked the World Court to stay the executions while the case was pending, and it did so with respect to three Mexicans. Indeed, the World Court also took the unusual step of announcing that it stood ready to make similar orders with respect to the other 48 Mexican nationals facing possible executions in the U.S., as their execution dates draw closer.
The merits of the case have yet to be decided. Like Paraguay and Germany before it, Mexico is arguing that its citizens cannot be executed because they were not notified by the U.S., upon being arrested, of their right to seek assistance from Mexico's consul in the United States. (The Vienna Convention for Consular Relations, a treaty signed and ratified by both the U.S. and Mexico, requires such notice.)
Constitutional Obstacles to Compliance with the World Court
To begin, the President cannot pardon, or even issue a stay of an execution for, a criminal convicted of a state crime, only one convicted of a federal crime. Such powers are held exclusively by the governors of the individual states.
Could the President then order the state governors to issue the stay by Executive Order? Mexico claims he could, but it's not so simple. Recognizing a Presidential power to order states to comply with international law would create a troubling precedent, because this power would not be restricted to orders like these.
In recent years, international law has been extended to encompass many areas of law currently controlled by the state governments. Accordingly, if the President had the power to compel states to comply with international law, it would be very broad. He would almost always be able to find authority to override or suspend state laws pursuant to his need to enforce international obligations.
Could the President claim statutory authority for the stay? After all, federal law trumps state law, pursuant to the Constitution's Supremacy Clause. But no existing federal statute gives the President authority to suspend - that is, to temporarily stay - a state criminal death sentence.
Couldn't the problem then be easily solved if the President asked Congress to pass just such a statute? Not necessarily. Under the U.S. Supreme Court's recent federalism decisions, such a statute might be unconstitutional, on the ground that the federal government has no right to interfere in the states' administration of their own criminal laws and penalties. See, for example, the Supreme Court's 1995 decision in United States v. Lopez.
Could the President simply sue in federal court to enforce the order, as Mexico has also suggested? Although there is some precedent for such a suit, this would raise the same concerns as an Executive Order.
Then couldn't Mexico itself, perhaps supported by a "friend of the court" brief from the federal government, go to a U.S. court to enforce the World Court order? Again, not necessarily.
In past cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to allow foreign states to enforce such World Court orders against the states. In support of its holdings, it has cited the U.S. Constitution's Eleventh Amendment guarantee of state sovereign immunity - an amendment the U.S. Supreme Court recently has read to give the states extremely broad protection from lawsuits. See, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court's 1999 decision in Alden v. Maine.
In sum, in all these scenarios, if the federal government attempts to compel state compliance to satisfy the World Court, it will threaten basic constitutional understandings about the division of powers between the federal and state governments in the United States. Whether the compulsion came through an Executive Order, a federal statute, or a court complaint, the issue of encroaching on state autonomy would be the same.
Given these concerns, it is not surprising that the federal government has been reluctant to order direct state compliance with similar international law obligations. In the past, rather than ordering state governors and legislatures to comply with international treaty obligations, the State Department has usually only requested that they do so.
For instance, in 1934, California initially refused to permit Mexican consular officials to meet with a detained Mexican national. Then Secretary of State Cordell Hull sent a letter to the Governor of California informing him that the U.S. recognized an international legal obligation to permit such consular assistance, and "earnestly requested" that the Governor do so. This "request" was granted.
What if the U.S. were simply to issue such a request in the case of the three Mexican nationals on death row? If the states complied, all might be well. But if they did not (and Texas has already announced it will not), the World Court would not be satisfied by the mere fact that the request had been made. After all, the World Court itself did not issue a "request" to the United States - it issued an order.
In This Difficult Position, What Should the Federal Government Do?
The federal government is thus faced with a choice between constitutional law, which mandates that state governments retain some independence from the federal government, and international law, which compels obedience to the World Court's order. In the past, the federal government has chosen to defer to the states, and ignore the World Court's orders. The choice is not surprising - to do otherwise might lead to a constitutional crisis, and upset the delicate balance of federalism.
Ignoring World Court orders, however, also has a cost. It will damage America's standing abroad, its relations with Mexico, and its ability to use the World Court to pursue its own cases.
Is there any solution? The answer may lie in a shift of focus. Currently, policymakers tend to either side with the World Court, bemoaning U.S. unilateralism, or side with the states, and accuse the World Court of overreaching. Instead, policymakers should recognize the federal government's dilemma, and avoid future clashes between constitutional and international law.
How? When signing future international treaties the U.S. should be more careful to ensure that it can constitutionally comply with its obligations - as it has been in signing past treaties.
For instance, when signing the World Trade Organization agreement, Congress established complex state consultation mechanisms, by which adverse judgments would be implemented. To take another example, when the U.S. Congress has ratified international human rights treaties, it has often expressly limited their effects against the states, or else allowed the states to decide how to (or whether to) carry out those obligations. So far, mechanisms like these have been able to avoid the international law/state law dilemma that the World Court death penalty stays have raised.
Still, such benefits must be carefully weighed against the cost of fundamentally altering our constitutional scheme of federalism. In recent years, new and important international treaty regimes have proliferated, and this issue is likely only to repeat itself in the future. When it does, the U.S. should take care to ensure that its participation in such regimes is designed to avoid future conflicts between constitutional and international law.

Great War>
Gerrit Engelke has sometimes been called the German Wilfred Owen, and indeed, the parallels are remarkable. Both were hopeful and obscure young writers who were living abroad in August 1914 and joined up after some hesitation. Both eventually turned against the war and wrote poems urging the men on both sides to realise how much they had in common. Both died in the last weeks before the Armistice.
His family had emigrated to the U.S.A. and he worked as a commercial decorator in Germany and Denmark, publishing a few poems about life in the city and attempting to write a novel, but fearing that he would die young. In the end he felt that fate had been too strong for him. 'My feelings still struggle instinctively against the war …. but for the fact that we were acting in self-defence, I would have refused …. No people hates the other – it is the speculators without a conscience who manage the war'. He survived nearly four years at the front, and won the Iron Cross. Several of his friends were killed, and he became engaged to a war widow, but never had time to marry her. As late as 1917, he found it impossible to write poetry about his experiences. But in the last year of his life, and in memory of a friend, he composed an extraordinary long poem, 'An die Soldaten des Grossen Krieges'. Here is a partial, and rather free translation:
Rise up! Out of trenches, muddy holes, bunkers, quarries!
Up out of mud and fire, chalk dust, stench of bodies!
Off with your steel helmets! Throw your rifles away!
Enough of this murderous enmity!
Do you love a woman? So do I.
And have you a mother? A mother bore me.
What about your child? I too love children.
And the houses reek of cursing, praying, weeping.
'I was opposite you everywhere, but you did not know it', he tells the Allied soldiers who took part in the great battles of Ypres and Verdun. All of them are victims:
I was a soldier. I did my job.
Thirsty, sick, yawning, on the march or on guard,
Surrounded by death and missing home –
And you? – were your feelings so unlike mine?
Tear open your tunic! Let's see your bare skin;
I know that old scar from 1915,
And there on your forehead the stitched-up gash.
But so you won't think my pain is less,
I open my shirt, here's my discoloured arm.
Aren't we proud of our wounds, your wounds and mine?
He writes about the sufferings of ordinary Germans, and pleads with the men from every country now fighting against him to forget about national pride and join hands.
He was badly wounded on 11th October 1918 and died, ironically in a British field hospital near Cambrai, two days later. He had written too little to become famous, although a slim volume, Rhythmus des Neuen Europa, was published in 1921. Gradually he is being rediscovered, along with the other Great War poets.

"Jazz is too good for Americans!"
Dizzy Gillespie, 1956
Being disgusted with Congress is, of course, nothing new…In an excerpt from Dizzy Gillespie's 1979 autobiography (written with Al Fraser) to BE, or not . . . to BOP, Dizzy reminds us of the thick-headed politicians of 1957 who questioned the "exorbitant" fees paid to him and his band during their 1956 State Department-sponsored tour of Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe and South America.
In this excerpt — from a chapter titled "Higher Than Ike" — Dizzy cynically writes about the "thanks" he received from members of Congress following the tour, as well as the controversy concerning his salary as a musician of his "stature," particularly since it exceeded that of President Dwight Eisenhower's.
Despite unprecedented success at home and abroad, in 1957 we again became the object of attacks. First, they denied us a booking at Veterans Auditorium in Los Angeles because some officials there claimed we were rock 'n roll, so we played somewhere else. Then the newspapers started churning up silly questions about whether rock 'n roll had replaced bebop. I answered them by saying that rock 'n roll was just one aspect of jazz, and that modern jazz was still right there on the scene. Rock 'n roll was a form of music older than modern jazz and had been with us for a long time. Louis Jordan had been playing it as long as I could remember, long before Elvis Presley.
The big guns attacked us. Some congressmen, Senator Ellender, from Louisiana, and Representative Rooney of Brooklyn, New York, began a big hoopla in Washington about how much money we'd made overseas. They cut the budget of the USIS by 26 per cent because they said the fees we'd been paid were "exorbitant" and a waste of the taxpayers' money. They got angry because I'd made $2,150 a week for two months, and President Eisenhower's salary was calculated at $100,000 a year, a little under $2,000 a week. When they questioned me about it, I asked them how many notes could the President play at one time. I knew my horn, and they paid me what was due to an artist of my stature at that particular moment. Considering my position in the financial hierarchy of America, I got paid pretty well, but it certainly wasn't any big deal. After all we'd done to represent American culture abroad to important audiences in Europe and the 'third world,' that was the thanks we received from Congress. The State Department tried to defend the program claiming the U.S. couldn't afford to send less than the best artist on these tours, and the best required top pay. No one bothered to compare our salaries with those other American artists commanded. To send a jazz band abroad was indeed a bargain compared to certain rock 'n roll stars. Those tours abroad helped the U.S. immensely, and those guys in Washington started saying I made too much money, more than the President of the United States. Of course, I didn't have two quarters to hit together, and they were picking on me. They knew no jazz musician could make that kind of money all year.
I finally wound up getting angry about it, and told them, "Jazz is too good for Americans!" By that I meant Americans don't seem to appreciate our own native music here, as well as people do in foreign lands – in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa. They really go wild over it; they study it, they take it more seriously. And that is still true to a large extent. Would somebody please tell me why?

2015 Chevrolet Colorado
Driving Notes • November 12, 2014 • by Chris Wolski • Bookmark +
Photo by Chris Wolski.
Over the past few weeks, I've had the pleasure of test driving the Chevrolet Colorado several times, and each experience has been more rewarding than the last. Yes, for fleets, the Colorado is fundamentally a truck, designed for a specific, utilitarian purpose, but Chevrolet also didn't forget the driver—hence it's the perfect melding of form and function.
The mid-size pickup is filling a void left by the near desertion of the segment by most OEMs, including Chevrolet, two years ago, which should please fleet managers and drivers who were devoted to the segment's earlier models.
The Colorado's compact size and ease of use is particularly well-suited to congested urban settings where parking is at a premium and maneuverability can be tough even for a sedan. Its driveability makes it easy to use for that employee—such as a technician—whose primary responsibility is not driving.
For fleets, the Colorado should deliver the kind of capacity they expect from its larger cousins the Silverado 1500 and HD models, including up to 7,000 pounds towing capacity, in a small, versatile, comfortable package. Adding to its ideal function as a mobile office is the Colorado's available hotspot, which allows up to seven mobile devices to operate at field sites and other remote locations. The Colorado also comes standard with a rearview camera, and is available with lane departure warning and forward collision assist. The Colorado literally has it all.
But, most important is how it drives. In a word: beautifully. The truck has a surefootedness that is more typical of a sedan, but with the functionality of a pickup. I've driven the Colorado now in both rural, mountainous, and highway conditions and it performed beautifully no matter the conditions. While the available 3.5L V-6 is obviously powerful, producing 305 hp, the 2.5L is equally impressive, producing 205 hp. The engines both get excellent mpg 27 mpg highway for the 2.5L 2WD model and 26 mpg highway for the 3.5L V-6.
Chevrolet designed the Colorado with fleets in mind. The Work Truck model is available with a rear seat delete allowing for additional, secure storage, and more rugged and economical vinyl seats. A box delete version will also be available, giving fleets more options for upfitting the pickup.
No matter how you look at it, the Colorado is both fun and functional.

Tennessee safety Todd Kelly Jr. on why he likes Vols' chances vs. Alabama, greatness of Derek Barnett and more
Tennessee safety Todd Kelly Jr. explains why the Volunteers have a shot at taking down Alabama in Week 7.
Lindsay Schnell
[video: 13724760]
Safety Todd Kelly Jr. turned 21 last week, but he hasn't celebrated yet. First, he needs a win over Alabama. The Tennessee native grew up rooting for the Volunteers—he even has Smokey, the Vols' mascot, painted on a wall in his room at home—and believes he has the guys around him to upset the No. 1 Crimson Tide this weekend. Before getting dressed up for the Vol Walk, Kelly chatted with Campus Rush.
Lindsay Schnell:I heard you fancy yourself a snappy dresser. What's your outfit plan for the Vol Walk this weekend before the big game?
Todd Kelly Jr.: I can't give out all the details, but it'll be a two-piece suit, pretty snappy but not over the top. I'll catch more eyes than coach [Butch] Jones' suit, I can promise you that.
LS:Do you have a fashion icon?
TK: My dad, Todd Kelly Sr. He's the one who hooked me up with all the suits. He got into the suit game when he was in the NFL and he taught me everything, including how to tie the knot for my neck tie. I think I've got it down better than him to be honest. Sometimes he asks me to tie his for church.
HENDRIX: What the world looked like last time Tennessee beat Alabama
LS:Who needs to be an X-factor for you guys this weekend against Alabama?
TK: Colton Jumper. He's our middle linebacker, so he has all the calls, he gets us set up and aligns us. If he plays great—which he usually does—that sets the temperament for our defense. We thrive off what he does, so if he plays well, that helps us a lot.
LS:When you beat Florida and finally broke the streak, and your mom rushed the field, what was that moment like for your family?
TK: Amazing. I had no clue she was on the field to start with. And then when I turned around, she was there smiling with open arms, so I picked her up. I was just so happy to see her. She's my idol, I look up to her. Whenever I need energy to get through the day, she'll send me Scripture. She told me it was going to be a big week not only for me but for my team, and when we got that victory, I looked for her in the stands immediately. And when I didn't see her, I found out she was on the field and it made that moment that much more special.
LS:After so many games where you dug yourselves a hole and had to climb back, why do you think you can be the ones to dethrone the Tide?
TK: Because I believe in the guys to my left and my right when I line up on the football field. If you don't have that mindset going into a game, something's wrong with you. I believe in the guys I line up with, whether it's on defense or special teams, or when I'm on the sideline watching the offense. I know what we're made of. I know these guys are built with the strength to never give up and to give their all, not only for themselves and their teammates, but also for the fans and the state of Tennessee.
LS:Your 21st birthday was Oct. 9. What did you do to celebrate? What was your first legal drink?
TK: I actually didn't celebrate because of the loss [to Texas A&M]. So I just rehydrated for Alabama week so I can be ready to go.
This Is What It Looked Like The Last Time Georgia Won It All
Film Room: The Adjustments That Helped Georgia Beat Bama
By Richard Johnson
Oregon Star Details Why He Didn't Commit to Alabama
LS:Your dad, Todd Kelly Sr., played at Tennessee in the 1990s and then in the NFL for four years. What's the most valuable football thing he taught you?
TK: I think to always listen to the older guys, the veterans who have a lot of wisdom. Going into my college career I had the opportunity to play as a freshman, but I had older guys in front of me who had played more, and I felt like listening to those guys enabled me to become the man I am today. I still don't see myself as a veteran, but this is my third year. Now I've got young guys looking up to me asking questions.
LS:I'm guessing as a Knoxville native and the son of a Tennessee player that you grew up a Vols fan. Are you living your dream right now, playing for them?
TK: No question. My whole room back home is painted orange and white. I've got an orange and white rug in my room. Smokey the mascot is even painted on my wall. [laughs] That was kind of interesting during my recruiting days. We kept the non-UT coaches downstairs in the living room so they wouldn't run away.
LS:How is it that in a Tennessee hous your sister went to Alabama and became a cheerleader? Who is she cheering for this weekend?
TK: [laughs] She has to root for her brother, of course. But anyone who goes to college understands that having an alma mater is very special. It's close to your heart. You spend four years there so … I told her, as much as she loves her school and as much as she loves me, to do what she wants. I don't know what she's going to wear to the game, but I know at the end of the day she has my back and she truly believes in me. She's always been my No. 1 fan.
LS:You're a Biomed Engineering major, which sounds insanely challenging. What's the hardest class you've taken at Tennessee?
TK: Differential equations. It was a pretty tough class. The answer to most of the questions isn't even a real answer, it's just another equation that you have to solve. I won't lie, that class was not fun.
WEEK 7 PICKS: Who'll win Alabama-Tennessee, Ohio State-Wisconsin, more?
LS:What three Netflix or TV shows should everyone have to watch?
TK: I watch Power on STARZ, and on Netflix I started Prison Break. I think that's a pretty cool show. And also Narcos seems pretty cool. Those three keep you on your toes.
LS:What's the best Halloween costume you've ever worn?
TK: Probably when I was in the third grade, my friend—he didn't play football but he was my best friend—he put on my shoulder pads and my jersey, and I dressed up like a cheerleader. My sister and my mom helped me. I had my sister's cheerleading uniform on, I wore a wig and I went door to door. I don't tell many people that.
Bryan Lynn/Icon Sportswire
LS:You're a defensive back and you play with one of the best defensive players in the country in Derek Barnett. What's it going to take for a defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy? Do people just not respect that side of the ball enough?
TK: I think people respect both sides of the ball, but I think it's going to take a lot. A defensive player would have to be very, very disruptive, very dominant and be on a great team. I'm not going to say a defensive player is never going to win because it's happened before. Everyone at the University of Tennessee knows that Peyton Manning got second to a defensive player. To think now that we have a defensive guy at UT who's in the conversation, that's pretty cool to see. And I think he should win because of what he does off the field, how hard he works, how much he prepares. I see that every day.
BAUMGAERTNER: Ranking the best games to watch in Week 7
LS:You changed your number this season from 6 to 24 to honor Zaevion Dobson, a local high school student who died shielding three young girls from gunfire during a drive-by shooting. Why did you do that? Did you know him personally?
TK: I did know him and his family. I still talk to his brother a lot, he's a senior in high school. He also changed his number to 24. I just wanted to do it just to emphasize how much of a hero he was and honor his dedication. What he did for those girls, it was exceptional. I want his legacy to live on. He loved the game of football and he always wanted to be a Division I athlete. Wearing his number, that helps him live on and do what he wanted in life.

Q: How does charm sniping work? I really want to give charm sniping (finding a specific charm on demand, basically) in MH3U a go, but I have no idea how to go about it.
My current character has Charm Table 3. I can retrieve the RNG seed and sequence number  with Athena's Charm Search Tool, but I don't know where to go next.
The following links probably provide some information are about immobilisation (maximising and freezing the number of Weathered Charms gathered in a run) but my Japanese only extends as far as reading most skill, item, and monster names (because I played P3rd in Japanese).

*

*http://mh3gomamori.appspot.com/

*http://kohada.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/gameurawaza/1332990269/

*A youtube video
A good step by step description of how to snipe a charm that is in your table would be much appreciated.
Edit:
Some posts in the Charm Search tool thread on minegarde shed a little more light on the situation. I still have no idea how to use the data I have, though.
#18: (partial quote)
Can you explain the RNG/Seed info in relation to charm sniping? I thought
charm sniping had to do with fixing the number of charms you get per run,
but it seems its even more involved than that.

#19: (partial quote)
Yeah, that's pretty much it. There are lists that show how many charms give
the best chances of a specific talisman in a certain table. You go mining and
make sure you get that number of timeworn/shining charms and drop all
mystery charms/ruststones/ancientstones.

#20: (partial quote)
There was also a GameFaqs post that addressed RNG and Seed info differently
- timing it kind of like you do with choosing a Charm Table. Link to that
post here: [moved below so that it is clickable]

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/683294-monster-hunter-3-ultimate/65681426/737616552

A: Ok, so after doing some hunting, here's what I found:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/683294-monster-hunter-3-ultimate/65979643/741430095
That seems to be the basic guide on how to Charm Snipe, although reasoning isn't provided.
For those that want some step-by-step instructions:

Generally, it seems that the RNG isn't so random, but rather cycles through a pre-generated list.  "Actions" use up these random values.  What defines an action is still up in the air, but even just standing around doing nothing uses them up.
Another thing to note is that charms gain their skills on appraisal, I believe.  It may be possible to test that, and I shall.  They key point is that they are not gained upon mining it.
Basic Requirements

*

*For best results, you need to be at least HR8 online.  You can do this in Misty Peaks at HR3, but your mileage may vary.  The link doesn't address High Rank, but I suspect some charms are only available through Timeworn or Enduring charms, not Mystery or Shining.  Will test to confirm.

*Wear the Leather set.  Presumably for the Gathering, Whim, and Speed Gathering skills.

*Gem in Bombardier.  Mostly for your suiciding efficiency; spending time uses up actions, and you don't want that if you're close to the charm you want.

*Dump everything out of your bag.  Put three Large Barrel Bombs in the first inventory slot, and two Large Barrel Bomb+ in the second slot.  I don't think this counts as an action, but is more for suicide efficiency.

*Bring along some Pickaxes.  Y'know, so you can mine.

*Punt Cha-cha and Kayamba.  They'll spend actions you don't want.

Save game prep

*

*You want to "lock" the skills you get from cooking.  All you really want is Felyne Explorer.  To do so:

*

*Save your game.

*Cook Fish with Wine.

*If you don't get Felyne Explorer, take a quest and abandon it.  Start again from Step 1.

*If you DO get Felyne Explorer, do not save the game.  You've just "locked" Explorer as your skill every time you reload this game.  Quit and reload.

So, now that you've finished preparing, you need to figure out where you are in your RNGs.  You do this by performing one run as fast as you can.  The charms you get can be cross referenced against Athena's Charm Table.  Find your charm in the correct table and right-click it; the RNG value will tell you where in the table you are.
Obviously, you need to know what the RNG value of the charm you're after is; Athena's Charm Table is perfect for that.
The run

*

*Load your savegame.

*Grab any non-Harvest Tour quest for the Misty Peaks (theoretically, any area would work, I believe).

*Eat for your Explorer skill that you've locked.  If the ingredients aren't Fresh, use a Voucher.

*As soon as the quest starts, mine out the hidden area, and gather if there are bones.

*Drop a Large Barrel Bomb, and kick it.  It will explode.

*Repeat step 5 until dead.

*After you've carted, sprint to Area 1, and drop a Large Barrel Bomb+.  Kick it.  It should kill you.

*Kill yourself again with Step 7.

*Congratulations, you've failed the quest.  Your consolation is the charms you just mined.

*The Appraisal screen will give you your charms.

*If you didn't get your desired charm, re-load.  Otherwise, congratulations!  You just sniped your charm.

Now, the idea is that once you figure out where on the RNG you are, you want to figure out how far away you are from your chosen charm.  If you want, say a charm with RNG 5000, and you find out that your charms give you RNGs of 4000-4500, then what you need to do is delay your third death for a bit.  Exactly how long is up in the air, and hasn't been completely determined. Some testing has shown that it's roughly 300 "Actions" per minute of waiting in Area 1 of Misty Peaks. So that's about 5/second.  What you can do is keep track of the quest timer, and note the RNG range of the charms you got.  If the one you want is inside that range, you've found your time limit.
If you're really far from your desired RNG, you can waste some Actions by just going to Moga Woods on a freehunt, and just stand around for a bit.  Save right after, and you've permanently moved your RNG forward a bit.  Note that it wraps around back to 0 somewhere around ~5400.
Once you've found the correct time range, you just have to hope that you get your desired charm.  If you don't, reload and re-run, and try to kill yourself the third time at the same point in time.

Uber, Yandex combine ridesharing and UberEATS in Russian markets in a $3.72B JV
As Uber continues to work through a huge amount of internal management turmoil, the company is also consolidating and rationalizing more of its international business. Today, the company announced that it will be combining its rides-on-demand business and UberEATS, its food ordering and delivery business, in Russia and neighboring markets, with Yandex.Taxi, the ridesharing business built up by the Russian search giant over several years and the current leader in the market, in what will be a separate, joint venture valued at $3.72 billion.
The deal — which will cover operations in Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus and Georgia — is expected to close in Q4 of this year and has already been approved by the boards of both companies. It's a substantial operation. Currently it covers 35 million trips each month across 127 cities, with the bulk of those coming from the Yandex .Taxi part of the JV; Uber was only in 21 cities.
"This combination greatly enhances Yandex's ability to offer better quality service to our riders and drivers, to quickly expand our services to new regions, and to build a sustainable business," says Tigran Khudaverdyan, CEO of Yandex.Taxi, in a statement. "The combined companies currently perform over 35 million rides a month while growing over 400% year-over-year. Since founding Yandex.Taxi in 2011, we have connected tens of millions of riders and drivers to become the largest and most trusted ridesharing business in Russia and neighboring countries. We are excited to expand on this foundation in collaboration with Uber." Khudaverdyan will become the CEO of the combined company.
The companies are also each putting money into the deal: Uber is putting in $225 million and Yandex $100 million, giving Yandex a 59.3 share and Uber a 36.6 percent share, with 4.1 percent owned by employees of the company, on a fully diluted basis.
Today, in the conference call, the companies said that one strong option will be for the new business to eventually go public: Yandex is publicly traded, while Uber remains private.
This is a huge move and follows Uber bundling its international business in China last year, where it sold its Uber China operation to Didi, ending several years of bitter and very expensive competition.
The same can be said for the Russian market, where Yandex has been the market leader but has been in fierce competition to hold on to that position, with Uber equally spending big — as it has done in other markets — to stay in the game and dominate.
Given changes in the business at home — namely CEO Travis Kalanick resigning amid a host of scandals involving sexual harassment and other bad management practices — the company appears to be having a wider thinking of its overall strategy.
Some have already started to question whether the company can live up to its $68 billion valuation in the wake of all of its problems, and in the meantime, a number of regional rivals continue to raise funding in a bid to position themselves as credible alternatives in a rapidly evolving market for mass transportation.
Uber says that it has to date invested about $170 million to build and expand its business, which is now active in 21 cities in the region.
"Not only is this partnership good news for our two companies, it's also great for riders, drivers and cities across the region. This deal is a testament to our exceptional growth in the region and helps Uber continue to build a sustainable global business," says Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, Head of Uber in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
It's been noted many times before that Uber's strength is not just in terms of providing cheap rides but in how it has been building a large and powerful logistics business. That in effect means that the company has to invest great amounts not just in customer acquisition and marketing, but tech R&D. In markets where it is still a smaller player, that can prove to be costly.
Yandex is at an advantage because it already had an extensive maps service — like its U.S. counterpart, Google — and it will be contributing that IP to this operation.
"NewCo will draw on the strengths of Yandex, the search, maps and navigation leader in the region, and Uber, the global ridesharing leader, to develop a fast-growing, sustainable business that best serves the needs of riders, drivers and cities," Yandex said in a statement.
After the closing of the transaction, consumers will be able to use both Yandex and Uber apps while the driver-side apps will be integrated. This will give the whole service a much larger pool of drivers (presuming there wasn't already a lot of overlap), as well as passengers. There are more details of how the companies compare now in the presentation below:

It's the last week of October, and all the traditional rites of fall seem to be in full swing. Pumpkins are making their way onto porches and leaves are [finally] starting to give up for the winter. And in the sports world, Major League Baseball is passing the baton of America's Seasonal Pastime (Non-CTE Division) to basketball. For millions of fans the true essence of basketball is not found in the NBA, where some teams intentionally lose. Instead, the heart of the game can be found in the 352 college campuses that make up the NCAA's top division. But as the season tips off, one of the most celebrated and decorated coaches in the college game's history will not be found on the sidelines. Instead, Rick Pitino, erstwhile head coach of the University of Louisville (and way before that, my beloved BU Terriers), has found himself the most prominent casualty of a bribery scandal sweeping college basketball.
The Federal complaint hides many identities, but among all the implicated colleges and coaches, none have caught the public's attention more than Louisville and Coach Pitino. The details of Pitino's alleged transgressions are still being uncovered, but at the very least the FBI has claimed that Louisville sponsor Adidas paid $100,000 to induce star recruit Brian Bowen to choose the Cardinals over fellow blueblood programs at Texas, Michigan State, UCLA, and others. There are disputes about the degree to which Pitino was directly involved in the bribery, but it doesn't look good. At the time Bowen surprised the basketball world by choosing his program, Pitino told the press "In my 40-some odd years of coaching, this is the luckiest I've ever been." A bold statement for somebody thought to be "Coach 2" in the FBI's complaint, a person alleged to have directed Adidas to pay Bowen. It's probably also worth noting that Adidas somewhat shadily pays Pitino millions of dollars a year.
This all seems like a great topic for This Week in Racketeering, but what does it have to do with torts? Well, following his dismissal, Coach Pitino filed a rather extraordinary federal civil complaint against Adidas in the Western District of Kentucky. The complaint alleges that Adidas did, in fact, funnel $100,000 to Bowen in order to secure his commitment to Louisville--but without Pitino's knowledge. In doing so, Pitino claims that "Adidas' outrageous and unlawful actions, and the public disclosure of those actions, have resulted in grave damage to Coach Pitino's public and private standing and reputation, causing him extreme embarrassment, humiliation, and emotional distress."
It practically goes without saying that this scandal has damaged Pitino's public standing and reputation. But it's still saying quite a lot, given that his program has recently been shown to provide recruits with prostitutes in order to secure their commitment. The more interesting component is the allegation of intentional infliction of emotional distress. The torts-nerds among you will know that, historically, there was a bar on recovery for emotional harm. Among other things, the theory was that emotional harm is difficult to prove and easy to feign. Still, the common law has adapted over the last 100 years to recognize that there are times when emotional harm is significant and should be compensable.
In our class, we focus on the negligent infliction of emotional distress (NEID), but here Pitino is claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), or more specifically the slightly archaic variant, outrage. As he states in his complaint, "Kentucky recognizes the tort of outrage, which authorizes the recovery of damages from one who, by extreme and outrageous conduct, intentionally or recklessly causes emotional distress to another." Pitino states no other causes of action in his suit.
That's basically an entire torts course in a paragraph, listing all the reasons Adidas could not be liable for a laundry list of torts. And so all that's left is outrage, "a gap-filler" whose vagueness is apparently a feature as well as a bug. Once upon a time, Lion of the Law™ William Prosser suggested (perhaps in jest) that Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress/Outrage be instead called "orneriness." Given the facts of the Pitino case, including his past public dalliances with scandal and alleged role and financial interest in the underlying bribery, orneriness might indeed have been a better label for his suit. This Week in Torts wishes Coach Pitino the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Q: How to properly use `git reflog --since=...`? I have a repository for which a regular git reflog --date=iso shows a lot of entries, for example see this fragment https://gist.github.com/FreddieChopin/0206c9ef530a056c624b065eed048c9d
As you may notice, there are reflogs for 19th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th of February.
But if I would like to limit the output to certain dates, this doesn't work as expected. For example git reflog --date=iso --since="2017-02-20" gives only this https://gist.github.com/FreddieChopin/fb7619dee8fde055a1cce6f6ff2f6eb6 - it stops at "52896f49 HEAD@{2017-02-24 20:53:29 +0100}", even though there are reflogs since 20th of February before that. There are even reflogs for 24th with smaller hours, so I have no idea why it stops exactly there.
The same problem is with another repository I've checked, so this seems to be related to the reflog itself, not the particular repository. The problem with the other repo is even weirder, as for example git reflog --since="50.weeks" gives my commits from the last several days, while git reflog --since="60.weeks" starts to go further back in time - in that repo there are also regular commits since a few years back.
On the other hand, git log --since=... works exactly as expected, so I'm not sure what's the problem here...

A: Note that Git 2.14.x/2.15 has fixed some issues with reflog.
See commit de23944, commit d08565b, commit 7f97de5, commit 7c2f08a, commit f35650d, commit 82fd0f4, commit 7cf686b (07 Jul 2017), and commit 822601e (09 Jul 2017) by Jeff King (peff).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 3ab01ac, 11 Aug 2017)

reflog-walk: apply --since/--until to reflog dates
When doing a reflog walk, we use the commit's date to do any date limiting. In earlier versions of Git, this could lead to nonsense results, since a skipped commit would truncate the traversal.
  So a sequence like:

git commit ...
git checkout week-old-branch
git checkout -
git log -g --since=1.day.ago

would stop at the week-old-branch, even though the "git commit" entry further back is still interesting.
As of the prior commit, which uses a parent-less traversal of the reflog, you get the whole reflog minus any commits whose dates do not match the specified options.
  This is arguably useful, as you could scan the reflogs for commits
  that originated in a certain range.
But more likely a user doing a reflog walk wants to limit based on the reflog entries themselves.
  You can simulate --until with:

git log -g @{1.day.ago}

but there's no way to ask Git to traverse only back to a
  certain date. E.g.:

# show me reflog entries from the past day
git log -g --since=1.day.ago

This patch teaches the revision machinery to prefer the
  reflog entry dates to the commit dates when doing a reflog
  walk.
  Technically this is a change in behavior that affects
  plumbing, but the previous behavior was so buggy that it's
  unlikely anyone was relying on it.

A new series of tests has been added for reflog-walk.
