(9) "Companion animal" has the same meaning as in section 959.131 of the Revised Code.
(E)(1)(a) After an ex parte or full hearing, the court may issue any protection order, with or without bond, that contains terms designed to ensure the safety and protection of the person to be protected by the protection order. The court may include within a protection order issued under this section a term requiring that the respondent not remove, damage, hide, harm, or dispose of any companion animal owned or possessed by the person to be protected by the order, and may include within the order a term authorizing the person to be protected by the order to remove a companion animal owned by the person to be protected by the order from the possession of the respondent.
(J) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and regardless of whether a protection order is issued or a consent agreement is approved by a court of another county or by a court of another state, no court or unit of state or local government shall charge any fee, cost, deposit, or money in connection with the filing of a petition pursuant to this section, in connection with the filing, issuance, registration, or service of a protection order or consent agreement, or for obtaining a certified copy of a protection order or consent agreement.
(C)(1) As soon as possible after the filing of a motion that requests the issuance of a protection order under this section, but not later than the next day that the court is in session after the filing of the motion, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether to issue the order. The person who requested the order shall appear before the court and provide the court with the information that it requests concerning the basis of the motion. If the court finds that the safety and protection of the complainant or the alleged victim may be impaired by the continued presence of the alleged offender, the court may issue a protection order under this section, as a pretrial condition of release, that contains terms designed to ensure the safety and protection of the complainant or the alleged victim, including a requirement that the alleged offender refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of employment of the complainant or the alleged victim. The court may include within a protection order issued under this section a term requiring that the alleged offender not remove, damage, hide, harm, or dispose of any companion animal owned or possessed by the complainant or the alleged victim, and may include within the order a term authorizing the complainant or the alleged victim to remove a companion animal owned by the complainant or the alleged victim from the possession of the alleged offender.

If the court includes a requirement that the respondent refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of employment of the petitioner or family or household member in the order, it also shall include in the order provisions of the type described in division (E)(5) of this section. The court may include within a protection order issued under this section a term requiring that the respondent not remove, damage, hide, harm, or dispose of any companion animal owned or possessed by the person to be protected by the order, and may include within the order a term authorizing the person to be protected by the order to remove a companion animal owned by the person to be protected by the order from the possession of the respondent.
(C)(1) As soon as possible after the filing of a motion that requests the issuance of a temporary protection order, but not later than twenty-four hours after the filing of the motion, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine whether to issue the order. The person who requested the order shall appear before the court and provide the court with the information that it requests concerning the basis of the motion. If the person who requested the order is unable to appear and if the court finds that the failure to appear is because of the person's hospitalization or medical condition resulting from the offense alleged in the complaint, another person who is able to provide the court with the information it requests may appear in lieu of the person who requested the order. If the court finds that the safety and protection of the complainant, alleged victim, or any other family or household member of the alleged victim may be impaired by the continued presence of the alleged offender, the court may issue a temporary protection order, as a pretrial condition of release, that contains terms designed to ensure the safety and protection of the complainant, alleged victim, or the family or household member, including a requirement that the alleged offender refrain from entering the residence, school, business, or place of employment of the complainant, alleged victim, or the family or household member.

Leben
Nach dem Abschluss der weiterführenden Schule in Bardufoss im Jahr 1989 studierte Bjørnflaten Geschichte an der Universität Tromsø und bis 1995 Staatswissenschaften an der Universität Oslo. Während dieser Zeit arbeitete sie unter anderem von 1990 bis 1991 als Jugendsekretärin für die Arbeidernes Ungdomsfylking (AUF) und den Gewerkschaftsdachverband Landsorganisasjonen i Norge (LO) in der damaligen Provinz Troms. 1994 war sie als politische Sekretärin von Sosialdemokrater mot EU (deutsch: Sozialdemokraten gegen die EU) tätig. Nach dem Ende ihrer Zeit an der Universität Oslo arbeitete sie in den Jahren 1995 bis 1997 für die Kommune Oslo und anschließend als Beraterin für die Entwicklungshilfebehörde Norad. Bjørnflaten wirkte zudem zwischen 1998 und 1999 als Journalistin für den Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) in Troms.

In den Jahren 1991 bis 1995 saß Bjørnflaten im Fylkesting von Troms. Für die Arbeiderpartiet-Fraktion im Osler Stadtrat fungierte sie im Jahr 1999 schließlich als Beraterin, bevor sie den Job für die Arbeiderpartiet-Fraktion im norwegischen Nationalparlament Storting übernahm. Von März 2000 bis Oktober 2001 war sie unter Thorbjørn Jagland als politische Beraterin am Utenriksdepartementet, dem norwegischen Außenministerium, tätig.

Nach der Wahl 2009 ging sie in den Transport- und Kommunikationsausschuss über, wo sie den stellvertretenden Vorsitz übernahm. Zwischen Oktober 2005 und September 2013 war sie zudem Mitglied im Fraktionsvorstand ihrer Partei. Im Vorfeld der Stortingswahl 2013 kündigte sie an, nicht erneut für einen Sitz im Parlament zu kandidieren. Sie schied folglich im Herbst 2013 aus dem Storting aus.

Im April 2014 übernahm Bjørnflaten den Posten als Kommunikationsdirektorin bei Hurtigruten. Dort blieb sie bis 2021. Zum 30. September 2022 wurde sie neue Staatssekretärin im Nærings- og fiskeridepartementet unter Wirtschaftsminister Jan Christian Vestre.

Sie ist mit dem Arbeiderpartiet-Politiker Gunnar Wilhelmsen verheiratet.

I hit my goal of $500 earned for the month!
My goal at the beginning of the year was to earn $600 a month on YouTube between my two channels.
My YouTube channel outperformed all expectations I had for income this past month. I earned over $90 from my channel which blew me away! I've been grinding away making videos whenever I had time around my work / baby / social schedule so I wasn't sure how much more I'd earn now versus when I was monetized before. Apparently the answer is 5 times more!
It's nice to see that the work I've been putting into videos and my channel has started to pay off. It makes me want to double down on the Youtube channel because I know if I can earn $90 and have $10 days then I really can earn $600. Or more. I see the huge potential there as a content platform.
I didn't focus on consolidating my outdated defunct blogs as much because the work is tedious and doesn't thrill me. I know I need to move the content over but it's not as much fun so I keep pushing it off.
I also didn't do much with Pinterest. I know that Pinterest can be key to a bigger source of traffic but it's just so mysterious to me in some ways so I keep putting it off. I did make a Pinteresty type image for a couple posts.
I ran a very loose content schedule for the month and that helped with video production especially. I definitely moved things around as I went but having a basic structure helped immensely so I knew which videos I needed to work on and when. I'm thinking about buying another planner to try and stay more organized with my content creation in 2019.
Amazon income was up for the month thanks to improved website and YouTube video search rankings. I've been low key focusing on fixing SEO problems and improving what I can with minimal effort. With affiliate income I've noticed you don't need huge amounts of traffic, you just need the right traffic. So focusing on SEO and improving the searches that bring people in is helping connect those people to the products I use.
I also focused on registry bounties on Amazon and that source of income has been consistently growing. I'd like to find more ways to implement this since I personally use a ton of Amazon services in my own life.
My A Merry Life youtube channel has also grown and the first month of remonetization was quite exciting! I did not expect to earn over $90 but it seems that some of my recent content about budgeting has hit with an audience. I know I personally like watching videos about money and budgeting so maybe I've just found my people! The growth of the channel seems to be continuing so I'm focused on making several videos each week.
Work on Pinterest strategy! Do it!
Listing out all the posts I did in October reminds me that I actually did create a decent amount of content!

Ceramics Research Centre – UK Home >Essay Series
Contemporary Essay 1: Alun Graves
This essay was written by Alun Graves Curator of Ceramics and Glass Collections at the V&A. It was delivered as a paper at the first symposium of the research project Ceramics in the Expanded Field on the 10th January 2012.
Beyond the Collection: The V&A and Ceramics in the Expanded Field
Taking as examples three specific projects from recent years with which I have been closely involved, I would like to outline how the V&A has engaged with those new developments in ceramic practice that might be identified as the expanded field. And from this starting point, I would like to consider more generally what the role of the institution should be in supporting and sustaining contemporary ceramic practice. What are the appropriate models for engagement between museum and artist? Is the museum's primary role to reflect practice, or to support its development? Should the museum be a passive observer and recorder, or an active agent for change?
To an extent the museum's role is of course to document, to lay down for posterity a historical record of artistic practice. The traditional mechanism for this form of engagement has been through the collecting and exhibiting of finished works. The V&A has been active in collecting contemporary ceramics for much of its history. Indeed, the vast majority of acquisitions of 20th century work have been made when the objects were 'contemporary', defined as less than 10 years old. Acquisitions are made in a variety of ways, and through contact with a range of sources including artists, galleries, exhibitions, collectors, and dealers. But with regard to ceramics, one mechanism that has largely been avoided is by commission. It might simply be that there has been little need to do so, given that ceramics is a medium in which the material itself has little intrinsic monetary value, and so the barriers to making work speculatively are relatively low. But I think the reluctance to commission work runs deeper. There is perhaps an awareness of the potential pitfalls, including the uncertainty of the outcome. And also that the act of making can become rather too self-conscious. Instead, we prefer the objects we acquire to already exist, to have had a life – however brief – prior to their selection and entry into the museum. The potentially self-fulfilling artificiality of collecting by commission is thus avoided, and something of the purity of the artistic impulse is perhaps preserved.
But this attempt at distancing the museum from the act of creation fails to take account of the fact that patronage and opportunity can have a fundamental role to play in the creative process, and can be hugely significant in stimulating the development of practice. The importance of this becomes all the more acute at times when artists are seeking to work in new ways and with greater levels of ambition, such as can be witnessed in ceramicists working in the expanded field. Here, as we will see, objects appear less like portable and tradable commodities, and more like happenings or projects. Their edges begin to blur.
So what is the expanded field? What are the tendencies that have changed the shape of ceramic practice? Installation is a central concept. Ceramics have begun to operate as a form of installation art. The individual object has given way to the ensemble. And parallel with this elaboration from single object to multiple is the importance of context. Of how and where something is displayed. The placing of objects has become a central concern of the artist. Site and context have acquired increased significance. And then there is the question of time. Objects are no longer static. They might exist only for a temporary period, and within that period they may undergo change, or be subject to influences beyond the artist. The work then becomes a kind of performance, and one in which the audience may become active participants.
And so the issues are really of space and time. Through their integration into contemporary practice, space and time have eroded the concept of the discrete and complete work of art.
It should be noted that this activity is not without historical precedent, and even within the sphere of ceramics, performance and installation have been explored at various points since the 1950s. But in the early years of the new century, there was a clear sense that this type of activity was burgeoning, and confronted by this expanded field it became clear to me as a curator that the collecting of artefacts alone could not satisfactorily capture the nature of current activity. I had started the decade with a notional list of artists whose work I felt needed to be represented in the V&A's collection, but there were soon names on the list – notably Clare Twomey and Keith Harrison – whose work it was far from clear how the Museum could absorb. It became apparent that if we wished to engage with these artists, then different mechanisms must be found that would offer an engagement that was somehow deeper, more complex, and more active.
Since that time we have found ways to bridge this gap, taking advantage of existing and new programmes in the Museum. I would like to consider three examples of these new types of activity, encompassing event, artist residency and gallery installation. The first of these, the event, benefited from the launch of the V&A's pioneering late-evening openings, and the contemporary themed programme known as Friday Late. Held on the last Friday of each month, these events typically feature live performances, debates, one-off displays and installations, along with a bar and guest DJs. The atmosphere and audience of the Museum on such occasions is transformed.
Significantly, these events encourage a more maverick type of curatorial activity, and this seemed to offer an opportunity to work with Keith Harrison, an artist whose work was based around the live firing of clay through direct contact with electrical elements. We began discussions of how we could work with Keith in 2004, but quickly the idea grew into that of theming an entire event around avant-garde ceramic practice. Not only was this appealing in itself, but it came to seem especially timely, providing as it did an opportunity to put ceramics centre stage in the Museum at a time when the ceramics galleries were closed for refurbishment. And so Clay Rocks was born, an event lasting a single evening in September 2006, which I curated together with Laurie Britton-Newell.
The short duration of such an event has certain significant advantages. It focuses attention sharply, creating a sense of expectation and excitement, and also allows much more invasive activities to be staged than would otherwise be possible. This also means that the use of prime spaces within the Museum can be negotiated. Little is off-limits. And so alongside a plethora of activities around the V&A, Clay Rocks featured three major installations, one by Clare Twomey and two by Keith Harrison, all of which were sited in high profile areas of the building: Clare's Trophy in the Cast Courts, Keith's Last Supper in the Raphael Cartoon Court, and his Orbital bridging the John Madejski Garden and the adjacent gallery space at the centre of the Museum. Thus for one evening, ceramics effectively hijacked the entire building.
Central to the success of these works was, I believe, the creative freedom that the artists were afforded. There was no formal brief, and instead, the invited artists were asked simply to submit proposals for installations which might incorporate some element of change during the course of the evening, stipulations that were entirely in sympathy with their practice. There was no attempt to dictate the nature of the work, based for example on previous installations that the artists had made. Conversely, I can clearly remember my surprise and delight at seeing Clare's entirely unexpected initial sketch for a flock of a bluebirds perching on gallery cases and plinths. From that moment I knew we had something very special.
Clay Rocks remains the single thing I feel most proud of as a curator to have been associated with, and the enthusiasm which it generated was extraordinary and gratifying. Associated with this was, I think, the sense that it transgressed the boundaries of what might be acceptable or possible in a museum. Both Trophy and Last Supper are works that in many ways paid homage to the history of art and design, and were far from iconoclastic, but they nevertheless both embodied a sense of danger and of challenge. Trophy did so by its invitation to the public to take art from the Museum, to participate if not quite in its own destruction, then at least in its dismantling. What in museum-speak we would appropriately call de-installation. For every visitor who came to see Trophy was invited to select and take home one of its 4000 jasper bluebirds, leaving an increasingly depleted gallery. More overtly transgressive, Harrison's work meanwhile embodied the perception of risk from live electrical circuits and heat. In the thirteen massive unfired clay blocks that made up Last Supper, each colour-matched to the robes of Christ and the disciples in Leonardo's painting, Harrison had embedded cooker elements that slowly heated and fired the clay in front of the audience. The danger from this apparently madcap activity was in reality very much less than it might have appeared, but the sense of experiment, of possible success or failure, was very real indeed. Safety in fact ultimately gained the upper hand in Harrison's second installation Orbital, a ceramic replica of a vast Scalextrix model of London's ring-road, the M25. A current through its tracks was again to superheat a channel of clay, but tripping circuits prevented the firing taking place. Yet in some way this unexpected outcome only added to the feeling of edginess of the whole enterprise.
While Clay Rocks compressed the time of audience interaction with a work to no more than a few hours, an alternative strategy, that of the artist residency, has the potential to extend the period of interaction over an altogether different timescale. When the V&A launched its residency programme with the opening of the new Sackler Centre for arts education in 2008, however, there seemed little possibility of ceramics being included due to the equipment required. But this all changed with the proposal to site a specialist ceramic workshop within the V&A's new Ceramics Galleries, and to establish a dedicated programme of ceramics residencies, which began in 2009.
A key element of these residencies, which are managed by the Learning Department, is their level of public engagement. Residents are required to hold regular open studios and to participate in the Museum's programme of public events and activities. And indeed the location of the studio within the galleries, separated only by glass, makes it a highly visible and publicly accessible place in which to work. What is, on the other hand, absolutely not dictated, are the physical outcomes in terms of work. The residencies offer space and time for the artist to develop their practice in the unique environment of the V&A, with all the resources that this affords. But there is no stipulation or expectation that a body of work will result, and certainly no guarantee that anything produced during the residency will subsequently be acquired by or displayed in the Museum. So rather than a conventional studio environment where an artist will work privately towards an exhibition, the artist becomes, for a period of six months, the show itself.
For an artist with a mind to do so, this creates opportunities to evolve work in surprising ways. Phoebe Cummings, artist in residence from June to December 2010 offers a fitting example. Working predominantly in unfired clay, Cummings has worked for the greater part of her still-short career without the 'benefit' of a permanent studio, instead creating work within and in response to the temporary environments afforded by residencies or other site-specific opportunities. While at the V&A, her interest in the landscape imagery of 19th century transfer-printed blue and white pottery led her to set about creating her own three dimensional equivalents in clay. Intricate in the extreme, and representing various plant, earth and rock forms, these modelled and sprig-moulded pieces gradually evolved into an enveloping other-worldly landscape that increasingly filled the studio space. By the end of the residency the studio had been entirely transformed.
In this extraordinary work of Cummings, the individual object dissolves. There is a continuum between maker and material and space and the act of making. It is all part of an inseparable whole. The work is bounded only by the confines of the studio space and the dates of the residency. There is no moment at which the work is finished, or indeed unfinished. And as an experience, it was one of sheer delight.
The final project that I would like to discuss is the commissioning from Edmund de Waal of the work that became Signs & Wonders. This similarly sprung from a desire to engage with an artist whose practice seemed to have outgrown the possibilities afforded by conventional forms of collecting, although it should be said that the resulting work does indeed form part of the Museum's permanent collection. De Waal had increasingly demonstrated a desire both to assemble his work into complex installations that referenced the collecting and display of ceramics, but also to site these in relation to specific architectural contexts. This is something that had begun with his installations at High Cross House in 1999 – the same year that he showed one his first 'cargoes' at the V&A – and subsequently developed through to the extraordinary framed compositions exhibited in 2007 at Kettle's Yard and MIMA. The timing was perfect. The redevelopment of the ceramics galleries at the V&A marked a moment when contemporary ceramics were literally and symbolically given a central position, and the project provided an opportunity for de Waal to create a truly major work for the specific and remarkable architecture of the V&A's building. The result is an act both of daring and of breathtaking elegance and simplicity: a lacquer-red metal channel tracking the circumference of the gallery's dome some 11m above the floor, and housing 425 pots organised in groupings that reflect de Waal's own view of the V&A's ceramics collection. It is a work that not only provides a fitting tribute to that collection, but is also one that pushed de Waal's practice to new limits. It is, aside from anything else, a complex and sophisticated piece of engineering. Without the input of the structural engineers working on the V&A's ceramics galleries, it could not have been achieved.
There is of course nothing new per se about any of these activities, be they events residencies or installations. They are all standard types of artistic engagement, and indeed are not without precedent in terms of ceramics, where demonstrations of making techniques have long been a staple of conferences and festivals. Where I think we can claim some degree of originality is in utilising these activities as opportunities for those makers who wish to work in the expanded field – for those whose practice extends beyond the traditional to take account of site, or scale, or the passage of time, or to seek the engagement of an institution or the interaction of an audience. These are things that the public space of the V&A can offer in a complex and singular way. As such, we have created possibilities that could not and would not otherwise have existed. The conventional mechanisms based on the speculative manufacture of objects in private studios for retail or exhibition, followed by acquisition and display, could not have produced them. They would otherwise not have been part of the history of the discipline.
The extent to which this V&A activity has been significant is perhaps for others to judge, but it has been gratifying to see how regularly works such as Trophy or The Last Supper, or Signs & Wonders have been referenced. They appear to have left their mark.
So if these projects have been a success, to what can this be attributed? There is, I think, something common in the ways in which these quite divergent projects have been achieved, this being a kind of institutional openness to creative thinking. The artists have all worked with a considerable degree of creative freedom. That is not to say that particular institutional agendas might not usefully be fulfilled in the process, such as enhancing the interpretation of specific collections, or engaging with target audience groups. But by and large the Museum has avoided dictating too rigidly the outcomes, and has instead kept in mind the broader institutional objectives of supporting and promoting creativity and stimulating public interest in creative practice. And so the 'brief' might be no more than an informal invitation to an artist to submit a proposal for a work to sit within the context of one or other of the Museum's programmes. And if the proposal is a good one, then working and negotiating to make it happen, and with as little compromise as possible. Indeed, the Museum's role might include encouraging the artist to hold their nerve.
In saying this, I do not want in any way to underplay the role of good project management and co-ordination in making these projects happen, nor to underestimate the importance of appropriate contracts or budgetary control. And I would similarly pay tribute to those institutions and individuals who have provided the funding to make these enterprises possible. But what I think is fundamental is to avoid allowing the potential constraints to stifle creativity at the outset, and to start from a position that embraces possibility. By working in this way, something of the purity of the artistic impulse is preserved, and the potentially deadening influence of the commission, as alluded to at the start, might be avoided.
And so to return to that other initial question, of whether the museum exists to reflect, or to develop practice. The answer in my view is assuredly both. The museum's role must be to promote, support and develop the discipline, and to provide opportunities for makers who operate at the cutting-edge of practice. This absolutely must include the building of collections, which remains of central importance. But while artists are striving to find new, more complex ways of working that are frequently dependent upon collaboration, it is vital that institutions support them in that journey, and create opportunities that allow both the practice of individual artists and the discipline as a whole to move forward. Museums must in this regard be agents for change. And this leads me to one final point regarding terminology. The activities of artists in museums are frequently described as interventions. This is a term I intensely dislike, for it suggests that this type of engagement is something that happens to the museum, the role of which is entirely passive. It suggests that embracing contemporary activity is not part of normal business, and is an unwelcome interruption. The track record of the V&A over the last decade, I think, tells a rather different story.

'Mystic Mac', as he is fondly referred to in the rings established himself as one of the leading fighters in the sport.
McGregor fought just one boxing fight against Floyd Mayweather but lost out on knockout to the American boxer, earning an estimated fee of $30m (£23m) in the process.
He fought 25 professional UFC fighters and won 21 - ending 18 of those bouts in knockouts and lost four in the process.
In 2018, a court instructed McGregor to have anger management training and perform five days of community service for criminal charges being dropped after he had attacked a bus containing rival UFC fighters.
Earlier this month McGregor was arrested in Miami for allegedly smashing a fan's phone as they tried to take pictures of him.

The perfect spot to see the sea
Located on the northeastern tip of Taiwan, Bitou Cape is a nature lover's dream, and it has some of the finest coastal views in the country
By Andrew Crosthwaite / Contributing Reporter
Stopping by northeast Taiwan's Bitou Cape is an ideal way to satisfy a craving for diverse wildlife, geology and outdoor activity.

Every weekend, hordes of people make their way up from Taipei and farther parts of the country to take in the wonders of Yehliu (野柳) and Fulong Beach (福隆海灘). The northern coast's dramatic scenery, which features beaches, bizarre rock formations and latticed rocky platforms that stretch out to sea, is nothing short of spectacular. About midway between the two destinations on Provincial Highway No. 2 lies one of the nicest yet often overlooked places in the region: Bitou Cape (鼻頭角).
Bitou Cape is an immensely varied strip of land that edges out into the sea at Taiwan's northeastern corner. There are extraordinary coastal views, a rich diversity of plants and animals, rock formations that would make a geologist go weak at the knees, and a pleasant, well-maintained hiking path from which to take it all in.
The Bitou Cape Trail (鼻頭角步道) begins just a few minutes' walk south of the sleepy fishing town of Bitou; English and Chinese signs along the roadside point the way to the trailhead. The path skirts Bitou Elementary School (鼻頭國小) before winding its way through a dense mangrove forest. The area is crawling with wildlife, and you should easily spot several species of brightly colored butterflies, dragonflies and lizards. If you're quiet and fortunate enough, you might also glimpse a squirrel or two scampering through the undergrowth.
When you emerge into the open, you're met with an invigorating blast of cool, salty sea air. And then there is the view. The cliffs at Bitou have borne the full brunt of the Pacific Ocean's winds and waves, and are suitably rugged as a result. The hiking trail, which winds its way along the length of the cape, affords incredible views of steep rock faces that stand like sentinels against the mighty power of the sea. Toward the end of the trail, the path separates, and the lower route leads to Bitou's picturesque lighthouse. The other path takes you to the end of the trail, where the land falls away in front and on either side of you. With 270 degrees of glorious sea to look at, you might have a difficult time turning around to head back down the path.
By car: From Keelung (基隆), drive about 25km east along Provincial Highway No. 2.
By bus: Take bus No. 1052 from outside Keelung Train Station.
For more information, visit the Keelung Visitor Center (基隆市旅遊服務中心) near Keelung Train Station at 1 Gangsi St, Keelung City (基隆市港西街1號).
Another of Bitou's features is the wide, wave-cut platform that lies at the base of the cliffs. The scoured and grooved surface of this massive, rocky terrace bears witness to the centuries of erosion that created it. There are many different minerals and types of rock in the area, and since some of them are much weaker than others, the weathering process has left its mark in a series of seemingly preternatural formations. Two of the most common are honeycomb rocks, with their many dimples and holes, and mushroom rocks, which have tops much larger than their bases.
Some people who visit Bitou prefer not to veer too far from the main hiking trail, but you should take the time to head down to the platform. The flights of stairs that take you there are not very long, and while it might not be safe to stand by the water's edge, there's no need to walk out that far. Even if you stay away from the sea end of the platform, it's a great place to view marine life. The endless rock pools give shelter to a number of crab, shrimp and fish.
The Bitou Cape hiking trail isn't especially long — just a few kilometers — and it's well equipped with toilet blocks and rest stops, but it is still very exposed. If you come, especially if you're with children, make sure you carry sunscreen, hats and plenty of water.

Tyla Hanks (born 15 February 2000) is an Australian rules footballer playing for  in the AFL Women's (AFLW). An inside midfielder, she played junior football in the TAC Cup Girls and VFL Women's, and competed at four AFL Women's Under 18 Championships. Hanks was recruited by Melbourne with pick 6 in the 2018 AFLW draft and debuted in the opening round of the 2019 season.

Early life
Hanks's junior football began when she was four or five years old; attending the Nar Nar Goon Auskick program. She also played basketball as a junior. Hanks played in boys football competitions in Cora Lynn, Victoria, but moved to Beaconsfield after finishing under-13s to continue with a girls team. She attended St Francis Xavier College and graduated into 2016.Hanks represented Vic Metro in the 2015 and 2016 AFL Women's Under 18 Championships, but switched to Vic Country after selection zones changed for the 2017 competition. She was named in the 2017 All-Australian side in the forward pocket. After the championships Hanks was named in the 2018 AFLW Academy squad as one of twenty-nine seventeen-year-old prospects. As part of this squad she could attend development camps and train with Australian Football League clubs.

In 2018, Hanks began studying exercise science at the Australian Catholic University. She co-captained the Gippsland Power in the TAC Cup Girls and was named in the league's Team of the Year. Hanks placed third in the league's best and fairest with 15 votes, one vote behind joint winners Nina Morrison and Madison Prespakis. Hanks attended the AFL Women's Under 18 Championships and was again named in the All-Australian team, this time as a follower. She played for Carlton in the VFL Women's (VFLW); on debut against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium in round 4, she amassed 19 contested possessions and 11 clearances – besting all players – and a team-high 20 disposals. Aasta O'Connor, who oversaw the AFLW Academy program, believed Hanks would eventually captain an AFLW club. She tested at the 2018 AFLW draft combine and set a record in the agility component with a time of 8.788 seconds, also finishing fifth in the yo-yo test. For the 2018 AFLW draft, prospects were required to nominate a state or region they wished to play in; Hanks was to nominate the Melbourne metropolitan area, preventing Geelong from recruiting her.

AFLW career
Hanks was recruited by Melbourne with pick 6 in the 2018 AFLW draft, their first selection. She injured her knee in a practice match against Melbourne's VFLW affiliate Casey Demons, resulting in bone bruising but no muscle or ligament damage. The injury interrupted Hanks's pre-season but did not prevent her from making her AFLW debut in the opening round of the 2019 season; a loss to  at Casey Fields.  She played all seven matches in her first season.

Statistics
Statistics are correct to the end of the 2021 season.

To say I was blown away with the thought and effort that went into Jacqie and Jamie's wedding day would be an understatement. They decorated the Victoria Park Pavilion to the nines and the day itself apart from a little rain went off without a hitch.
Victoria Park was completely transformed with personality. From the love birds following the couple around all day to the guitar cake that Jamie totally got his say on, no wedding detail was overlooked. Jacquie also found an amazing abandoned estate to take photographs at so we took a last minute detour from downtown kitchener to the house to shoot a few portraits. It was completely worth the drive and we made it back in time for an awesome party. (note the self made stir sticks!) The dance floor was packed from the start of the night and that was only the beginning. Jacquie and Jamie thank you so much for having me and Matt (who worked as a second set of eyes during the day!) we had an amazing time at your wedding.
For your view pleasure I also have picked out some music (that the bride and groom had playing that day) I think it helps to narrate the photographic story of the day, and is something I really want to continue to incorporate into my wedding blog posts.

Q: How do I use Hebrew characters with Entity Framework and SQL Server 2008 R2? I have a web service that takes XML, parses it to create EF objects, then persists those objects to the database (via the EF context).
This all works fine with normal English characters, but now someone wants to post Hebrew, but when he does, the value in the database is just ????.
The database column uses nvarchar(), and if I execute the following SQL in SSMS, it works just fine...
update customers
set Salutation = N'אבגד'
where LgID = 3 and VcID = 1

select *
from Customers
where LgID = 3 and VcID = 1

I can see the Hebrew correctly.
I have checked the data coming into the web service, and the value in the EF entity's property is correct, but when EF persists it to the database, it converts it to ????.
Anyone able to tell me what I need to do to allow Hebrew (as well as English) to be persisted? Thanks.

A: Thought I'd better post this as a separate answer instead of a comment, in case anyone else comes looking for it.
Turned out that the database was set up correctly, but I had forgotten to update the EF model to reflect the changes (ie changing varchar to nvarchar). Once I updated the model, it worked fine.

Throughout the world, economic opportunities are less available to women than to men. Not only is the worldwide female labor force participation rate lower than it is for men, working women earn 10 to 30 percent less than their male counterparts. The share of girls who enroll and complete primary school remains less than boys'. Women hold only 22 percent of national parliament seats around the world. In a recent World Bank study, 90 percent of 173 surveyed countries had at least one law (e.g., prohibitions on women taking up certain jobs) preventing women from taking full advantage of economic opportunities.
While gender equality has improved in some respects, minimizing gender-based violence, early and forced marriages, and property-rights violations will take more work. The full realization of women's economic potential is essential for achieving the ambitious United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which will drive the global development agenda until 2030.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently announced the first-ever High-Level Panel for Women's Economic Empowerment to provide "action-oriented recommendations on how to improve economic outcomes for women" through expert consultations and civil-society engagement. The panel has identified "fostering female entrepreneurship and enhancing the productivity of women-owned enterprises" as one of six priorities for issues like legal barriers, the care economy, gender pay gaps, the informal economy, and financial and digital inclusion.
We need more evidence on effective strategies to grow women-owned businesses sustainably. The evidence for what works in financing, training, and mentoring female entrepreneurs is rising but remains limited in understanding how women-owned businesses can grow. Well-designed interventions that address gender-specific constraints can enhance women's skills and capabilities. But single-sector interventions have limited impact, as women face multiple and intertwined constraints. For instance, improved access to credit without skills training will have limited positive impact.
Stakeholders from across the value chain should be included in conversations about women's empowerment. Women entrepreneurs do not operate in a vacuum, so while greater trade could support women-owned businesses in principle, legal barriers still hinder market entry and business growth in practice. Public procurement systems disadvantage small and women-owned businesses, and more transparent procurement policies and actions could help level the playing field.
The private sector is more interested than ever in promoting women's economic inclusion. Many players in the private sector are committed to working with women-owned businesses. There is also increasing knowledge on the successes, failures, and practical challenges of doing this, which is being used to improve the design of new programs. We know that better preparing female entrepreneurs through targeted training programs improves their capacity to run more competitive businesses.
Own-account workers, who are self-employed and lack continuous employment, face extreme vulnerabilities and lack capacity to avail business opportunities. Knowledge on what works for what type and size of enterprises is limited, and only a handful of women's organizations and market facilitators such as India's Self-Employed Women's Association are equipped to help bridge this gap. As reconfirmed by a recent Urban Institute study focused on four Pakistani cities, women workers in the urban informal economy are particularly challenged and have limited access to public services and receive little support to foster sustainable livelihoods.
Governments need to collect more and better data, including labor force and enterprise surveys. The lack of gender disaggregated data poses a significant challenge. Existing datasets focusing on women entrepreneurs, such as the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, are growing rapidly, but coverage in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. Recent commitments by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other donors to support data collection will help make women workers more visible, facilitating greater public and private procurement from smaller women-owned enterprises.
The discussion on female entrepreneurship should include the broader discourse on gender inequality. Many of the major constraints women face in business are embedded within more general gender constraints, such as access to assets for collateral, gender-based violence, and lack of safe public transit. Women's choice between wage employment and starting their own business is directly informed by care responsibilities, which depend on social and cultural norms.

The European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science (E-RIHS) is a distributed Research Infrastructures to support research on heritage interpretation, preservation, documentation and management. It will comprise: E-RIHS Headquarters and National Hubs, fixed and mobile instruments in national infrastructures of recognized excellence, physically accessible collections/archives and virtually accessible heritage data. Both cultural and natural heritage are addressed: collections, buildings, archaeological sites, digital heritage. E-RIHS will provide state-of-the-art tools and services to cross-disciplinary research communities advancing understanding and preservation of global heritage. It will provide access to a wide range of cutting-edge scientific infrastructures, methodologies, data and tools, training, public engagement, access to repositories for standardized data storage, analysis and interpretation. E-RIHS will enable the community to advance heritage science and global access to the distributed infrastructures in a coordinated and streamlined way.
In the ESFRI Roadmap since 2016, E-RIHS is in the Preparatory Phase towards the Implementation Phase that is foreseen to start in 2021.
Heritage Science has brought about the need of structuring the net of infrastructures operating throughout Europe. Fragmentation, duplication of efforts, isolation of small research groups put at risks the competitive advantage of European heritage science research, promoted so well by the unique cultural heritage. The long-term tradition of this field of research, the ability to combine with innovation, and the integration promoted by EU-funded projects such as EU-ARTECH, CHARISMA and IPERION CH in conservation science, and ARIADNE in archaeology represent the background of E-RIHS.
E-RIHS exploits the synergy of the cooperation among the academy, research centres and cultural institutions. The global lead that the EU holds in this research field, so precariously supported by a combination of national and EU measures, requires a joint and resolved effort. This has been fully recognized by the European Union with the continuous and reiterated support of initiatives aimed at integrating existing Heritage Science infrastructures, as well as, with a focus on Member States' national research programs, the JPI on Cultural Heritage, coordinating efforts of 17 EU national funding bodies supporting heritage science. The enthusiastic reviews of these initiatives testify the success of their action to advance knowledge and to establish a research community, acknowledged as advanced in official EU documents concerning conservation, or quickly growing in the field of archaeology.
This demonstrates beyond any doubt both the scientific and the socio-economic importance connected with Heritage Science: it is a sector and a research community that has achieved the maturity necessary to make the leap towards a permanent European Research Infrastructure that will impact broadly on society and economy.
E-RIHS is currently leading a Preparatory Phase with the aim to establish the European Research Infrastructures Consortium (ERIC). The establishment of a legal structure and governance and the refinement of the business plan for long-term sustainability will be the three most important deliverables, together with the implementation of users' access strategy taking advantage of the existing projects of the consortium. E-RIHS partnership joins 15 countries – 14 EU Member States plus Israel, 2 ERICs RIs and 3 institutions representing scientific communities. E-RIHS also involves over 100 heritage science institutions worldwide. Participation to E-RIHS ERIC is open to more potential founding Members – or Observers – throughout the next years of the Preparatory Phase. E-RIHS will be launched as a stand-alone RI in 2021. Further developments are planned for connecting and including partners and facilities outside Europe, and gradually reaching the status of a Global Research Infrastructure.


Winter storms can last for many days and may include high winds, freezing rain, sleet or hail, heavy snowfall and extreme cold. These types of winter storms can shut down a city or area mainly due to blocked roads and downed power lines.
Severe winter weather also causes deterioration and damage to homes every year.
There are many things you can do to prepare for the bitter cold, ice and snow in advance to save you money and headaches in the long run. Some of these tips should be used by apartment dwellers too.
Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic film from the inside to keep warmth in.
Detach garden hoses and shut-off water supply to faucets.
Install faucet covers or wrap with towels and duct tape.
Show family members the location of your main water valve and mark it so you can find it quickly.
Drain sprinkler lines or well lines before the first freeze.
Keep inside temperature of your home at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) or higher.
Wrap pipes near exterior walls with towels or heating tape.
Change furnace filters regularly and have it serviced.
Make sure you have good lighting from street and driveways to help others see snow and ice patches and try to keep paths clear of drifts.
Remove dead tree branches since they break easily.
Cover fireplace openings with fire-resistant screens.
Check shingles to make sure they are in good shape.
A lot of water leakage and damage around outside walls and ceilings are actually due to "ice dams". Ice dams are lumps of ice that form on gutters or downspouts and prevent melting snow from running down. An attic with no insulation (like a detached garage) or a well-sealed and insulated attic will generally not have ice dams. But if the roof has peaks and valleys, is poorly insulated, or has a large roof overhang, ice dams usually happen.
Keep gutters and downspouts clear of leaves and debris.
Find areas of heat loss in attic and insulate it properly.
Wrap or insulate heating duct work to reduce heat loss.
Remove snow buildup on roof and gutters using snow rake or soft broom.
Keep doors open under sinks so heat can circulate.
Heat your basement or at least insulate it well.
Close windows and keep drafts away from pipes since air flow can cause pipes to freeze more often.
The best way to protect yourself from a winter disaster is to plan ahead before the cold weather begins.
— charcoal – NEVER use charcoal indoors since fumes are deadly in contained room — fine for outdoor use!!
Also review some winter driving tips .. and find more preparedness tips in our Look inside the book page.
Officials typically encourage people to stay off the roads as much as possible during major winter storms (especially when there is a freezing mix of ice, sleet and/or snow), but if you must travel, be prepared in case something goes wrong.
Driving – If you must travel, consider public transportation. Best to travel during the day, don't travel alone, and tell someone where you're going. Stay on main roads and avoid taking back roads.
Winterize car – Make sure you have plenty of antifreeze and snow tires (or chains or cables). Keep gas tank as full as possible during cold weather.
miscellaneous – food, water, radio, etc.

BALTIMORE – Pat Spencer had five goals and two assists, Kevin Lindley scored five himself and Jacob Stover made 18 saves on Saturday as the fourth-ranked Loyola University Maryland men's lacrosse team opened its 2019 campaign with a 17-9 non-conference victory over No. 6 University of Virginia at Ridley Athletic Complex.
Loyola (1-0 overall) had five stretches in which it scored two or more goals in a row, but the Cavaliers (0-1) only managed back-to-back goals once.
Stover and the Greyhounds' defense held Virginia to nine goals despite the Cavaliers taking 45 shots. Stover's 18 saves were the second-most of his collegiate career and one off his high of 19 posted in the Greyhounds' last game of 2018, a NCAA Quarterfinal game against Yale University.
In addition to the five goals each from Spencer and Lindley, Aidan Olmstead contributed two goals and two assists, Chase Scanlan scored twice in his collegiate debut, John Duffy and Peter Swindell each had a goal and an assist. Alex McGovern scored once, and P.J. Brown tallied an assist, as well.
Virginia got on the board first when it went on extra-man less than a minute into the contest. Dox Aitken scored off a Michael Kraus assist 48 ticks into the game, but the lead would not stay in the Cavaliers' column for long.
Spencer drew a double-team at goal-line extended, slipped through and dumped a shot low to even the score at the 12:57 mark in the first quarter.
It was then Loyola's turn to go man-up, and the Greyhounds took a lead they would not relinquish at 6:26 when Swindell skipped a pass to Duffy, and he hit a 15-yard shot. McGovern's goal came 59 seconds later as he ran past a short-stick from 'X' and hit a lefty shot that made it 3-1.
Virginia converted again on extra-man when Matt Moore scored off another Kraus feed at 4:21, but Loyola would reel off two-straight goals in rapid succession.
Spencer tallied another unassisted goal, jumping toward the crease and hanging in the air to deliver a highlight-reel goal at 2:42; he then ran down the left alley and threw it across the crease to Lindley who spun free of a defender and scored 47 seconds later to make it a 5-2 game.
Virginia would get within two at the end of the first quarter, as a Aitken caught a pass from Kraus and released a shot before the horn went off to signal the end of the stanza. He found the net and trimmed Loyola's lead to 5-3.
Lindley and Aitken traded goals at 13:01 and 11:16, respectively, in the second quarter before Scanlan's first career goal off a Brown assist at 10:04 sparked a 4-0 Greyhounds' run.
Olmstead used a sidearm rip off a Duffy feed to score on extra-man at 6:43, a goal that would make it 8-4 Loyola, a score that would hold until the second half.
Spencer opened the third quarter with two-straight goals, scoring unassisted at 13:43 and tallying his fourth of the day off an Olmstead feed exactly four minutes later.
That goal pushed the lead to 10-4, but Moore scored two in a row for the Cavaliers, his second with 4:36 left in the third pulling Virginia within four.
Olmstead stopped the mini run with his second of the day off a Spencer assist at 3:56, but Ryan Conrad made it a four-goal game again, 11-7, with a goal at 3:17.
Loyola responded with three-straight unassisted goals that spanned the third and fourth quarters to take a commanding 14-7 lead. Lindley had the first when he ran past a defender at GLE and scored his third of the day with 2:00 to go in the third quarter. Spencer then opened the fourth with a goal at 12:10, swimming past his man down the left alley to tally his fifth goal, tying his career-high in the process.
Scanlan capped the three unanswered goals when he blew past his defender at goal-line to score just 21 ticks after Spencer, making it a seven-goal game.
Kraus scored his lone goal of the day at 10:13, momentarily stopping Loyola's run, but Olmstead found Swindell with a high-to-low pass, and Swindell one-timed the shot on the crease to score at 9:19. Lindley tallied his fourth with 8:01 to play when he came from behind and slung a low-to-high shot that found the net just underneath the cross bar.
Ian Laviano scored with 7:46 to go in regulation for Virginia, making it 16-9, but Lindley added his fifth and final goal with 4:25 on the clock, providing the final margin.
Loyola won the battle at the face-off 'X' as Bailey Savio went 15-of-28, and Loyola also had a 34-31 advantage in ground balls against a team that has led the nation in that statistical category for five of the last 10 years.
Cam Wyers made his collegiate debut and had six ground balls and a caused turnover while holding Kraus to one goal. Ryan McNulty tallied three ground balls and three caused turnovers.
The Greyhounds continue a stretch of games against highly-rated teams next weekend. They make the short trip to Johns Hopkins University where they will face the No. 7 Blue Jays in a 2 p.m. game on Saturday, February 16.


We are 10 recipes into 24 Days of Christmas and today's creation is a healthy Pomegranate, Feta and Rocket Salad. Serve this salad as a side to your main dishes and you will keep the vegetarians happy and probably delight the meat eaters too.
Let's also take a minute to get excited about the fact that the holidays are almost here! Where are you headed off to this December? Or are you having a staycation? Either way, it's exciting to know that Christmas is almost here!
This Pomegranate, Feta and Rocket Salad is bright and light, gets some spice from the rocket leaves and is sweetened out by the tart pomegranate seeds and watermelon. It is of course, gluten free, and is high in protein because of the quinoa. The avo and feta cheese give the salad creaminess and the dressing is a simple one – made from maple syrup, olive oil and balsamic.
Finally a sprinkling of seasoned walnuts and peanuts give the salad a final crunch element.
You can plate the Pomegranate, Feta and Rocket Salad however you like – I choose a bigger flat plate so as not to crowd a bowl.

Saremar (acronimo di Sardegna Regionale Marittima) è stata una società di navigazione che disponeva, fino al 2016, di una flotta di sette traghetti con la quale collegava, in regime di continuità territoriale, le isole minori della Sardegna come La Maddalena e l'isola di San Pietro. Collegava inoltre la Sardegna con la Corsica sulla rotta Santa Teresa Gallura-Bonifacio.

Storia
La Saremar è nata il 27 marzo 1987 a Cagliari dalla cessione aziendale del ramo regionale di Tirrenia di Navigazione rimanendo sempre sotto il controllo pubblico di Finmare. È poi tornata nuovamente a far parte di Tirrenia dopo 10 anni, come società del gruppo. Il 3 novembre 2009 il Ministro delle infrastrutture e dei trasporti Altero Matteoli assieme al presidente della Regione Sardegna Ugo Cappellacci hanno firmato l'accordo per il passaggio della società di navigazione dal controllo dello Stato, tramite Tirrenia, direttamente alla regione Sardegna che dal 2011 deteneva il 100% dell'azionariato.

Nell'estate 2011, l'azienda, sotto iniziativa della Regione Autonoma della Sardegna, ha effettuato collegamenti tra Sardegna e Italia continentale, noleggiando due navi Ro-Ro Pax e assumendo personale alberghiero. Il servizio ha svolto due collegamenti dal nord dell'isola, uno per Civitavecchia l'altro con Vado Ligure, per sopperire al caro biglietto ed evitare ripercussioni economiche per i viaggiatori. Le tariffe erano infatti notevolmente aumentate rispetto alle stagioni precedenti, con rincari arrivati fino al 110%, forse dovuti ad un cartello tra armatori privati. L'Autorità antitrust ha aperto un'istruttoria nei confronti delle società Moby, Snav, Grandi Navi Veloci e Forship (marchio 'Sardinia Ferries')... per verificare se abbiano posto in essere un'intesa restrittiva della concorrenza. .

Nel gennaio 2012 la Saremar ha ripreso i collegamenti Olbia-Civitavecchia-Olbia con le motonavi Scintu e Dimonios facendo partenze giornaliere escluso il sabato dal 16 gennaio al 31 marzo. Dal 1º aprile 2012 le partenze sono effettuate tutti i giorni. Nei mesi di luglio ed agosto 2012 sono previste due partenze al giorno, diurna e notturna ove a partire dal 1º giugno 2012 è stato riattivato anche il collegamento Vado Ligure - Porto Torres - Vado Ligure. Dal 16 settembre 2012 sono terminati i collegamenti Porto Torres-Vado Ligure e Olbia-Civitavecchia, e le navi Coraggio, Dimonios e Scintu non vengono più utilizzate dalla Saremar.

Il 30 ottobre 2015 la Commissione europea ha dato il via libera alla proroga dell'attività della compagnia fino al 31 marzo 2016, dato che ne era prevista la liquidazione per il 1º gennaio a causa dei forti debiti accumulati. Dal 1º aprile dello stesso anno la società ha definitivamente cessato ogni servizio.

Subsea 7 aims to assume the SURF throne through acquisition of McDermott
Subsea 7's attempt to acquire rival contractor McDermott could create a powerful new entity in the global market for subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF), giving it a best-in-class market share of 24%, according to research and analysis by Rystad Energy.
UK-based Subsea 7 confirmed today that it submitted an offer last week (April 17, 2018) to acquire the entire issued share capital of US-based rival McDermott, pricing the common stock at USD 7.00 per share. This offer arrives just as McDermott is in the process of completing its proposed merger with Chicago Bridge & Iron.
"The train is about to leave the station. McDermott is the only acquisition target that could make Subsea 7 the market leader in the SURF sector," says Audun Martinsen, VP of Oilfield Service Research with Rystad Energy. "With this proposed acquisition, Subsea 7 is hoping to strengthen its offshore SURF and engineering capabilities, and it would propel the company beyond TechnipFMC and Saipem to assume the global throne in that segment," Martinsen adds.
In the SURF market, a merged Subsea7-McDermott would boast a combined market share of 24%, with TechnipFMC following at 20% and Saipem at 15%. In addition to acquiring McDermott's SURF and engineering business, Subsea 7 would also get the US contractor's Fabrication & Operations product line, specializing in topside and jacket structures, which is currently busy with the Tyra Redevelopment Project in Denmark.
McDermott has been very successful in the Middle East, securing major frame agreements with Saudi Aramco, and in Asia, winning key contracts with Reliance for the KG-D6 project in India and with Inpex at the Ichthys LNG project in Australia. The Middle East and Asia regions represent more than 90% of McDermott's upstream revenues. Subsea 7 has had more focus and success in the North Sea, Africa and the Americas, and these regions represent about 85% of its upstream revenues.
"Geographically speaking, Subsea 7 and McDermott are a perfect match," Martinsen comments. "Subsea 7 does have presence in the Middle East market with its acquisition of Emas Chiyoda's subsea business, but that region still only represents less than 5% of its business. With the McDermott business, it would grow to 15% for the combined entity."
A merger between Subsea 7 and McDermott could expect to achieve average annual market growth of 6% from 2017-2020. This is considerably higher than the potential growth of 4% per annum that McDermott and CB&I could achieve through their proposed merger. The rationale behind McDermott's proposed acquisition of CB&I, announced in December 2017, was to diversify its offshore exposure into the onshore engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) business, and to create a vertically integrated company.
"Oil prices have climbed considerably since December and, according to our analysis of oil market fundamentals, the offshore service market will see a clear comeback as the world will need more offshore production. Hence we think McDermott's board of directors now faces a bit of dilemma on how to respond to the takeover bid by Subsea 7," Martinsen concludes.
