PHOTOS: Soldiers fire live ammo, wound two in Nabi Saleh protest
Photos and report: Anne Paq / Activestills.org
Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition against nonviolent Palestinian protesters in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh on Friday. Two Palestinians were wounded, including activist Manal Tamimi.
Tamimi was shot in her leg as she was standing and talking to her friends, only minutes after the protest had begun, along with another young Palestinian. Both were transferred to a Ramallah hospital where they received treatment for their wounds.

Activists report that the army has stepped up its use of live ammunition in the village over the past few months. Nariman Tamimi, a prominent activist in the village's Popular Struggle Coordination Committee, was shot with live ammunition on November 22, 2014. She is still recovering.
Nonviolent protests in Nabi Saleh began in 2009 after residents from the nearby settlement Halamish took took control over the Ein al-Qaws spring — owned by a resident of the village — preventing Palestinian access to their land.

Well, this is state sponsored terrorism. Violence against civilians for a politician objective. The IDF is committing terrorism. In order to intimidate and subdue peaceful protesters.

Activestills shows a picture of the woman marching without difficulty after claiming she was hit by live fire in the leg:
"Manal Tamimi marches with other protesters [many children], a few seconds after she was hit by live ammunition, Nabi Saleh, West Bank, April 3, 2015."
I do not know who wrote this script for Activestills, but the actor is supposed to fall after being hit and not marching after being hit.

Another photo has her on the ground with a padded splint being placed on one leg. You are right that the copy should be more explicit on the extent of her wound and what type of bullet is being employed, if possible. But I see no warrant for inferring fabrication.
What is suspicious is that the article says that "Tamimi was shot in her leg as she was standing and talking to her friends only minutes after the protest had begun." Yet she is photographed walking in the march on grass next to the side of the road, "a few seconds after she was hit by live ammunition" the article says. The article also says a second Palestinian was also shot. So according to this story the march had just begun, then Tamimi stopped to talk to friends, got shot by live fire along with another Palestinian, then recommenced walking in the march.
None of the people in the photograph of the march with Tamimi walking on the grass take any notice of Tamimi or appear aware of her or any one being shot. In the background people are shown standing talking to each other unaware of any shooting. Nothing indicates that any shooting had taken place.
When Tamimi is shown in another photograph on the ground she is not on the grass where she had been walking but in the roadway flashing a victory salute. When the splint is put on her, she appears to be on a different surface once again, a surface of broken rocks. No photograph of the alleged wound is shown.
How is it that after being shot she started marching again? If she was shot, why did she not fall where she was shot? If she only noticed the wound after beginning walking, how did she move from the grass on the side of the road, to the road and then to a surface of rocks after being on the surface of the road? Why would the medical people move her to a surface of broken rocks instead of on the grass or the roadway?
Then why would activestills not photograph her wound at the hospital? Instead it photographs a wound of another person who had not been shown in the pictures of the march. Supposedly if this is the second Palestinian allegedly shot at the protest why are there no pictures of him on the ground at the march?
You are right, Pedro, that pieces like this can be faked. There are only two bars to that: Activestills' reputation and 972's reputation as the host. I cannot answer what you say from my distant location, and as I suspect you are a distant avatar for a certain view of Israel and doubt you can either. I could also indulge in a set of counter questions and counterfactuals to try and offset what you have said, which will get absolutely nowhere. As I said before, more information should have been provided in the text. What has happened is that both of the major sides of this verbal war (there are actually more than two sides) are so committed to their side that they cannot really conceive of either deceit or error on that side. I recall the two young men shot to death, recorded by an outside security video, on some major yearly protest day. At first commenters to 972 said it couldn't happen, was obviously fake, that even the independent video of a Border Guard shooting a rifle showed the rifle adapted solely for rubber bullets. Well, now some Border Guard is under arrest, I believe a fake rubber bullet adaptor found attached to his gun; as far as I know, but I could be wrong, the other death has no suspect. Sometimes our righteousness is wrong.
I've never seen 972 issue a retraction. As I understand the platform of this site (I could be wrong), those approved with a "channel" can basically place what they like on that channel. Activestills has a channel, this piece an instance of it. I have seen pieces with corrections. But I've never encountered 972 issuing its own independent correction. As a cooperative, it may be politically difficult to do that. But in matters of direct violence it is my outsider belief that 972 should be receptive to challenge and issue an independent correction if the owner of the channel, here, Activestills, fails to do so.
Now I'm not agreeing with your analysis as such. It could be she was hit with a low level ricochet, still live ammo. Ideally, as in the case of the Palestinian taken to hospital, a verification reference in the piece, at the hospital, would be ideal; the hospital is unlikely to participate in lies for its stable operation.
As you have a pre-model of how things must have really been played, I have a pre-model of you, having read some of "Pedro X." Would you say much of anything if this event had been verified as I have suggested, with more detail and some independent sources? I kind of doubt it. Being an avatar is a full mind occupation.
All I can say is that for some time I have felt that 972 should have a stated policy of editorial retraction if required. As events unendingly multiply, sometime somewhere a piece is going to error, planned or not. As said, first opportunity for correction should go to the channel owner, failing that, the editorial staff. I would think reported violence could activate scrutiny automatically; the editorial staff could begin with some calls, not holding the piece up, but checking it out. Now maybe that is done now. I have no clue at all. 972 isn't the New York Times with large paid staff.
This is not a game on either side, Pedro. People really are hurt in this theater, and they are not all Jews. Some public standard of verification seems useful all around, but that standard will still be mostly reputational.
Greg 972mag has posted fake videos before. See
http://972mag.com/nstt_feeditem/video-sniper-shoots-and-kills-a-man-as-he-searches-the-rubble-of-his-home-for-relatives/
The man wearing green before allegedly being hit is shown from the back with a mostly blocked alleyway with crushed buildings and large tanks sitting on top of them in the foreground. After he is shot the foreground is entirely different. The guy has fallen down in an area different from which was shown immediately before he was allegedly shot. Items like a pot and large colorful shopping bag and three ISM workers appear in the after shot video. Then he is allegedly hit by two more shots while lying amongst the rubble, yet no bullet wounds are visible. Even shadows which should be the same seconds apart, move. It was such an apparent fake. Yet 972mag put it out there.
The NY times released a full copy of the so called unedited tape from which one can tell even more how fake a video it was.
Pedro, I'm not certain about the case you site, and you do not site any retraction by anyone anywhere on it, or proof of its fabrication.
In any case, I expect at some point a fake video to leak through, and I have rather clearly stated my opinion on what editorial policy after discovery should be.
Be a little more thorough in your evidence, just as I would demand of 972. For me, this is not all some kind of zero sum winner take all game between abstract groups like "Israel" and "Palestinians" or "Jews" and "Arabs." Events are particular, just as individuals are.

I thought about that too, but as you can clearly see she was taken to hospital. So I guess the 'a few seconds after' in the second photo should say 'a few seconds before'. This is a small mistake that anyone else but hasbaraznik could figure out by themselves …
You're a disgusting liar ! The images were taken on a cell phone by members of the ISM, and there were many witnesses to the killing. I've seen the longercopy too, and you're lying. If you'd been German, you'd be denying the Holocaust instead. What a dispicable person you are.
You're very perceptive, Pedro.
One of the advantages of being married to a famous director is you get to be the star in his movies.
Take a look at some of Bilal Tamimi's videos and you will see many such instances of staging and editing. Manal gets shot in a lot of them, but no worries, she always shows up for the next protest.
This is vicious anti-Palestinianism, the equivalent of anti-Semitism if directed at Jews. See:

Q: Overriding the delete function of BaseInlineFormset I am looking at doing a soft delete on a record. If 'Website' is not a foreign key (say, for example 'RetailerRatingGroup') then it should be deleted as normal. However, it is the foreign key of another object, I want to cancel the deletion and instead change the Website.active property to false.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I might go about that.
class Website(models.Model):
    retailer = models.ForeignKey('Retailer', on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    url = models.URLField()
    short_name = models.CharField(max_length=15)
    active = models.BooleanField(default=True)

class RetailerRatingGroup(models.Model):
    retailer = models.ForeignKey(Retailer, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    channel_productcat = models.ForeignKey('ChannelProductcatGroup', on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    website = models.ForeignKey(Website, blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    current_rating = models.ForeignKey('Rating', default=None, blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_DEFAULT)

A: OK ... so after even more looking around I found the following:
class SoftDeleteInlineFormset(BaseInlineFormSet):
    def delete_existing(self, obj, commit=True):
        if commit:
            if not obj.retailerratinggroup_set.all().exists():
                obj.delete()
            else:
                obj.active = False
                obj.save()

WebsiteFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Retailer, Website, form=WebsiteForm, formset=SoftDeleteInlineFormset, max_num=10, extra=3, can_delete=True)

Ideally it would be better to see if any model had was using the website instance as a foreign key.

Hi Reddit! Brian Volk-Weiss here to chat about The Toys That Made Us, and much more.
I am an avid toy collector but also run the entertainment company, Nacelle Company which owns and operates the company Comedy Dynamics.
The Toys That Made Us premiered on Netflix on December 22nd. Netflix gets on the nostalgia-train with this eight-part series focused on iconic 1980s toys, including Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Barbie, He-Man, Star Trek, Hello Kitty, and Lego. The documentary includes interviews with some of the most important people involved with making the icon toys that we all know and love.
The second part of the series will premiere this Spring. Watch the first four parts on Netflix here.
And you can learn more about the series here.
Read more about me and how the show was created: Brian Volk-Weiss's Mount Rushmore of Toys.
Thnak you for all your questions!! Was a lot of fun!!
Any plans on making an episode about TMNT?
Thank you!!! We absolutely will do TMNT and MLP if we get a second season!
What was up with that thing in the background of the interview on the Barbie episode? You know the one.
It's a piece of art work Jill had in her office when we shot her interview.
Hi! Do you have any plans to cover Japanese kaiju / monster toys?
If we get more episodes ordered then there is a very good chance we do that. we went to japane for our transfomers and hello kitty epsiodes and would love to go back!
Is there any talk of an episode about the retailers - specifically, Toys R Us which was a mega giant in the 1980s? I would LOVE to see footage of toy aisles from that era.
We would LOVE to do an epsiode about the retailers, and how much the market chnaged from the 50s to the 90s, then how Amazon chajnged everything again.
We looked into it EXTENSIVELY and could not find anything or any one to support the theory. this topic alone could get its own episode. but you can rest assured that we put a LOT of time an energy into this question and came up w nothing. we spoke w wonder bread as well.
Any chance for a Real Ghostbusters episode??
Absolutely a chnace if we get more seasons green lit!
Can you please do an episode on old school WWF toys and Starting Lineup figures for us die hard sports fans?
We will almost definitely do a show on WWF if we get a seconds season. Not sure about starting line up, but it's possible.
What was your favorite toy to shoot?
Didn't have a fave because it was all amazing but some star wars things we saw were amazing!
What kind of toys do you collect?
Star wars is in first place, and then a close second is tied for gijoe and transfomers...and of course LEGO!
Did you have a favorite toy growing up?
Absolutely love the show! So glad Netflix picked it up.
How did you pick which toys to investigate? I can think of so many! (I would love to see Cabbage patch dolls, Polly Pocket, TMNT My Little Pony). Would a second series be on the cards?
Thank you!! We had four criteria that we used as a ROUGH guage to figure it out: has the toy been in production non stop since its inceptuion? is it iconic enought to be on a mount rushmore of toys? is the actual story good? and does the toy ahve a ravbid fan base?
and we absolutelt want to do a MLP epsiode if we get more seasons!!!
If the show continues on for more season ( crossing my fingers!) will you all be looking at smaller toy franchises like say "sectaurs, or Silverhawks? Or is the plane to stick with longer running more popular brands?
It all depnds on how many seasons we get...if we get a big order then we would absolutely look into the less iconic toy lines, as long as the stories and people behind those lines are interesting.
Any modern toy lines that you enjoy collecting?
I love almost everything that NECA makes!
When will you do an episode on Kenner's The Real Ghostbusters toyline? It has to be one of their most unique runs ever made. Iconic with the purple packaging as well.
If we get more seasons green lit then yes; it's VERY possible!
how does financing work with netflix -- do they give a lump sum or do they ask to see budgets and expenses and give accordingly? Do they provide any data from user behavior to help with editing the show, picking show length, length of cuts etc...?
All i can say about this, because our deal w netflix is confidential, is that we pitched them the idea with a tape we had made, and they bought the show, and after that we worked out the budget together. Also, they give us a lot of great notes that helped us make a show which we felt would be enjoyed by huge toy fans and new to toy wrold fans.
Any chance for one on kenners alien/predator line?
If we get a big order for more epsiodes we would absolutely look at toys like this that have a unique story that's worth telling, despite not being iconic lines. lot of fans of those toys here!
Ever think of doing a show on Charan/ToyBiz and all of the great Marvel action figures they produced in the 90's?
If we get a second season we will very very likley do something on super heroes, which of course would include marvel action figs.
I absolutely loved this series and I cannot wait to see the other episodes!
Is there any chance you'll do an episode about those Japanese soft vinyl toys (or sofubi as they're more commonly known) if this show gets picked for more seasons?
Was there something you guys wanted to cover on your series that you simply didn't have time for?
Are there any book/miscellaneous sources worth checking if I wanted to learn more about the toy industry?
What's your thoughts on those ZBots toys from Galoob (I think that's who made them?) from back in the 90's?
thx for the kind words! We would LOVE to do a deep dive into the japanese toy world, so if we get a big order then that's possible. For some book suggestions dm us on face book and we will send you a list of some of the books we used to research the show.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Transformers show, and would like to know how in depth with regards to the variants you go into? Transformers as a toy brand have many international incarnations, and variations from all over the world created fans the same way they did here in North America.
We went to japan and interviewed a lot of the Takara team that created what would become the G1 line roughly 35 years ago, and we got very indepth on that. we cover mostly the 80s era but do get into the 90s and 2000s transformners a bit, but not as indepth as some people would have liked. we will release cut scenes on face book about once a week so people can see the cool stuff we saw.
It did! We are in post production on it and it comes out in about 4 months!
Thanks! Sorry I quickly deleted my question after reading the intro. I'm looking forward to the other episodes!
The he-man episode is AWESOME.
Are there any current toy trends, like Pop Vinyl figures or smart toys, that you feel share similarities to the types of iconic lines you cover in the show?
What i personally find very interesting about POP and a few other similar lines is that it's a real trend that's been going on for YEARS. i'd love to know more about how and why it started and what the future holds for this type of toy.
I'm very interested in the theme of why these toys are so popular now and what lead up to their invetion. and of course also what is planned for the future of this type of toy.
Love the show! I know this season is all tapped out, but is there any hope of getting an episode of the toy lines that didn't make it? Odd balls like Bucky O'Hare, Sectaurs, Visionaries, Battle Beasts, Army Ants, etc? Maybe rooting out why they didn't take hold? Anyway, can't wait for the second half of the season to start!
there are a LOT of bucky o hare and army ants fans here in the office...so it all depends on if netflix orders more episodes or not and if they do how many they order.
Hey Brian! Absolutely loved the show. As an aspiring toy inventer myself, this series was a huge inspiration for me. Spring can't come soon enough. Fingers crossed for season 2 as well. I'd like to learn more about the toy industry in general. Could you suggest some websites or books / reading material about the toy industry?Thanks.
Thanks! DM us on face book and we can send you a list of the books we read to help make the show! and good luck w your invetions!
First of all, I loved the show, completely. The Masters of the Universe episode really took me back to my childhood. Just such a wonderful piece of nostalgia.
My question is --- What happened to all of the action figures you shot for your B-roll? Were they from a personal collection or were they purchased for the show? Who on the staff got to keep them?
About a quarter of the toys in the show are from my personal collection, and the rest are from the collections of other people who were kind enough to let us shoot them. And thx for your kind words!
If you could only keep one toy, which one would it be?
It would have to be my die cast millenium falcon that i've had since i was about 3 years old...it's the first piece of my collection and it still has crayon all over it from when i was a kid.
What is your opinion on art toys like Kidrobot?
Love them because they're so original and in many ways trend setting.
Would you ever consider doing an episode on my absolute favorite toy line of all time --- DC's SUPER POWERS?
Did George Lucas give a reason why he didn't want to be interviewed? Do you think he felt it would look bad on him to talk about the toy deal he did for the original film?
That is a piece of art that she has on display in her office.
We were given no specific reason for him not wanting to do an interview, but his people were extrememly nice and tried to be as helpful as they could.
When watching the Barbie episode viewers must bare witness to what has been simply called "The Chair". What exactly is this chair, and was there ever a discussion about removing it from the background of the shot?
That was a piece of art in her office and no, we did not discuss removing it because a big part of my theory in producing/interviewing is that you film people where they are most comfortable, as that says many things about them as well as the words that come out of their mouths.
The chair is a piece of art and no, we did not dicuss removing it because it's in the office where she wanted to film and we like to show people's environment as it normally is.
Any possibility doing an episode on Playmobil?
If you get more seasons in the future, would you consider doing episodes on 90s hits? Despite being born after these 80s toys were crazy popular, I can still appreciate the spectacle of it all (especially as a toy collector now, it's really cool to learn about), but to really hit that nostalgia bone would require moving forward a few years in history. An episode on Street Sharks, for example, I'd find very interesting.
We will do stories on as many eras as we can, as long as the stories are good and the toys had some sort of impact at the time of their release. we love the 90s era, fyi!
What is your LEAST favorite toy line?
can you please add madballs to your list?
We have madballs in the office right now! love them!!
Can we have an episode just dedicated to Arcades and how they began and evolved into the consoles we have today?
I mean you could talk about pong, atari, midway, snk, and branch out into home consoles, handhelds (tiger, gameboy, sega vs. nintendo), etc. There is so much content you could do, it's massive!
Something LIKE that is possible, but only if we get more epsiodes ordered.
Great series! Any plans for season 2? I'd love to see an episode on TMNT or the WWF wrestling figures of the 80s. Thanks for your response!
Thx! We have a lot of ideas for season 2, and tmnt and wwf are at the top of the list, tied a MLP!
Fun show! Have you given any thought to an ep on AHI (Azrak Hamway International), the company that also operated as Remco and made licensed toys from 1973 up that were the "runner up" figures to popular toys lines from Mego, Kenner, Mattel, Hasbro? I'd love to know how the story behind their almost knock-off quality items.
Thanks, keep up the good work and good luck with continuing seasons.
We have an idea for a show that would incorporate much of what you're talking about, but we need to get a second season green lit before we can actually do it.
There's rumor of a 2+ hour edition of the Star Wars episode. Any idea if that cut could be released?
i am sorry to report that that rumor is false. tho we are putting out cut scenes on face book roughly once a week. we did one for star wars last week.
I would love some episodes about M.A.S.K, Bravestarr or even Shogun Warriors, Whats the darkest toy line you would like to feature?
We LOVE MASK!!! And you have some fans of bravestarr here too...if a second season is ordered then it's possible we will cover MASK, but not sure about the other two at this time.
Is there more to the Dolph Lundgren interview? His appearance was so brief. Also, was there any talk about the potential Masters of the Universe movie sequel that Cannon canceled?
Awesome! I love that movie. I've always been intrigued by the never-released sequel.

What is a Benefit Corporation – Utah Sustainable Green Business
Home / Business / What is a Benefit Corporation – Utah Sustainable Green Business
Most people know that there are privately and publicly held companies, non-profits, LLCs (or limited license companies), INCs (incorporated), etc. While non-profits are their own separate type of business that is taxed and reviewed differently, with a much different business goal than other for-profit companies, even for-profit companies have their own different classifications.
Most companies like LLCs are known as S Corps, but there are also C Corps. Most of these distinctions have to do with how the business is taxed. However, there is a separate, and we believe and more distinctive, designation that companies in Utah may now be classified as. A Benefit Corporation.
Several years ago, SB 133 was signed into law allowing Utah businesses to change their business designation to that of a benefit corporation – LUX Catering & Events was one of the first 13 businesses to jump aboard and take advantage of the new law and change our status from and S-Corp to a Benefit Corporation.
So, what exactly is a Benefit Corporation?
A Benefit Corporation is a company that is voluntarily and eagerly desirous of holding itself accountable to the community in which it operates as well as to hold itself to a higher standard of excellence to the community and the environment but still wanting to make a profit while doing so. Basically, being a Benefit Corporation is like enrolling in the Honors Program for businesses!
Benefit Corporations have a responsibility to hold themselves to a higher standard in their business operations to ensure their actions are environmentally sustainable as well as to be an involved members of the community by actively helping and/or reinvesting in the community. While this may make a benefit corporation sounds a non-profit, instead a designated Benefit Corporation needs to do all that while still being a for-profit company.
And it is totally possible! LUX Catering & Events has created, as part of our business tenets, many facets that help us to be a sustainable and green business in Utah. These efforts include:
LUX Catering & Events is the only caterer in Utah with a comprehensive recycling program in place. We track our usage and waste and recycle or repurpose as much of our waste as possible – including mixed recyclables like plastic, paper, etc; glass; and even green waste, such as inedible parts of food but that are still organic matter. Our green waste is part of a new program in Utah, the Wasatch Resource Recovery Project, where our green waste is taken and composted then redistributed to local farms and community gardens to enrich the soil.
LUX Catering & Events is part of Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky Program, which means all of the electricity we use is offset by wind power energy that we purchase.
40%-70% of our food, depending on the season, is sourced locally. Which means that more of our supplies have less distance to travel which equals less carbon emissions dues to trucking and shipping. Additionally, this means that more money and resources are kept in Utah to Utah farmers, artisans, producers, etc.
All of the disposables we use as part of our events are biodegradable within 30 days at the landfill. We are not leaving a carbon or waste print on this Earth longer than 30 days with our waste.
We donate half a million dollars every year to local charities, non-profits, and community cultural organizations!

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and its receptors are abundant in the brain and particularly in the cerebellum of adult rats. In contrast, the occurrence of PACAP binding sites has not been investigated during ontogenesis. The aim of the present study was to determine the distribution and biochemical characteristics of PACAP binding sites in the rat cerebellum during postnatal development, and to examine the effect of PACAP on immature cerebellar granule cells. Autoradiographic studies revealed that PACAP binding sites are transiently expressed in a germinative matrix of the cerebellar cortex, the external granule cell layer, and in the medulla, from postnatal days 8 to 25. A population of PACAP binding sites persisted in the internal granule cell layer in the mature cerebellum. Emulsion-coated cytoautoradiography, performed on cultured immature granule cells from eight-day-old rat cerebellum, demonstrated that transient PACAP binding sites are expressed by cerebellar immature granule cells. Biochemical characterization of binding revealed the occurrence of two classes of PACAP recognition sites exhibiting, respectively, high (Kd = 0.39 +/- 0.08 nM) and low (Kd = 21.2 +/- 9.4 nM) affinity for PACAP27. The two naturally occurring forms PACAP38 and PACAP27 were equipotent in competing for [125I]PACAP27 binding. In contrast, the [Des-His1]PACAP38 analog was eight times less efficient and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide only induced weak displacement of the binding. Exposure of cultured immature granule cells to PACAP27 resulted in a dose-dependent stimulation of the production of cAMP, indicating that PACAP binding sites represent authentic receptors positively coupled to adenylate cyclase. These results show that PACAP receptors are actively expressed in the cerebellum of rats during postnatal development. The presence of functional PACAP receptors in the external granule cell layer suggests that PACAP may play a role in the control of proliferation and/or differentiation of granule cells.

Perpetrator of Domestic Violence Cannot have the victim removed and get temporary custody of the kids, can he?
By Eric S. Solotoff on October 22, 2012
Posted in Custody, Domestic Violence, Visitation/Parenting Time
If I were to tell you that the victim of domestic violence was put out of the marital home and the abuser was granted temporary custody of the kids, you would say I was crazy. The Appellate Division would agree and in reported (precedential) decision released on October 19, 2012 in the case of J.D. v. M.A.D.(ironically), reversed such a holding by a Camden County trial court.
In this case, the defendant's discovery of the victim's infidelity lead to an act of domestic violence. The victim, however, wanted to remain in and work on the marriage. The defendant wanted "space" and somehow convinced the victim to leave the home and sign a document giving him primary custody of the children. The parties later reconciled and the victim returned to the house. However, unable to control his anger over her affair, a number of additional acts of domestic violence occur ed, culminating with the entry of a TRO against the defendant. At the Final Restraining Order hearing, the judge then entertained argument "as to who should have possession of the marital home and as to who should have
temporary custody of the children." The trial judge decided that it should be the defendant, finding that the anger only occur ed when the parties were together and as such because the defendant had been the primary caretaker, he was awarded temporary custody and the victim was excluded from the marital home.
The victim appealed and the Appellate Division reversed, holding:
The trial court's findings, set forth in the beginning of this opinion regarding the events over the course of the seven months following defendant's discovery of his wife's extramarital affair, are supported by substantial credible evidence in the record and we do not disturb them. The facts as found, however, do not overcome the presumption embodied in N.J.S.A. 2C:25-29b(11), governing the court's award of temporary custody
in a proceeding under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (PDVA), N.J.S.A. 2C:25-17 to -35, "that the best interests of the child are served by an award of custody to the non-abusive parent." Moreover, these facts cannot support an order granting exclusive possession of the marital home to the party the court has found to have perpetrated the abuse.

Domestic Violence: Bad Haircuts and an Unwanted Hug Can Constitute Harassment
By Eric S. Solotoff on May 16, 2011
Posted in Domestic Violence
This post was written by Melissa M. Ruvolo, a new Family Law associate, in our Roseland office, and soon to be an official contributior to this blog.
Our blog frequently features discussions regarding what constitutes domestic violence to warrant the issuance of a Final Restraining Order (FRO). Perhaps the most frequently alleged "predicate act of domestic violence" is harassment under N.J.S.A. 2C:33-4. What may constitute "harassment" was recently raised in the unpublished Appellate Division decision of A.B. v. L.S.M. decided on May 6, 2011.
The parties were unmarried but had been living together for almost four years. They had two daughters – a 3-year old and a 22-month old. During an argument, the defendant called the plaintiff a "b-tch" and the plaintiff admitted she may also have cursed and yelled at him. The defendant attempted to leave the home but while doing so, got a flat tire. When he tried to fix it with a car jack, the plaintiff twice tried to remove the jack from under the car and the defendant pushed her shoulders each time. She threw the daughter's sippy cup at his face and broke his nose. Both parties applied for temporary restraining orders, which were dismissed. The defendant eventually moved out of the home and parenting time was ordered by the Court.
Two months later, the defendant went to the plaintiff's home and knocked on her bathroom window, pleading to speak with her. The plaintiff refused. On the way home from plaintiff's house, the defendant sent her an apologetic text message stating that he had no idea how much he had hurt her and would leave her alone.
Several days later, when the defendant went to the plaintiff's home to pick up the children for parenting time, he asked to speak with her. He told her he "really missed her" and wanted to "hug and kiss her." She responded that she didn't want to talk to him or "have him touch her." Later that evening, the defendant sent a text message to the plaintiff claiming the children forgot a teddy bear and blanket. She offered to bring them to his home and he agreed. When the plaintiff arrived at the defendant's front door, he told her the children were already asleep, leading her to believe that the entire incident was a ploy to get her there. According to the plaintiff, the defendant grabbed her to prevent her from leaving and she told him not to touch her. The plaintiff's friend, who was waiting in the car, witnessed the defendant give the plaintiff an unwanted "bear hug."

One Approach to Legal Representation of a Defendant in a Domestic Violence Matter
By Fox Rothschild LLP on May 13, 2011
Lately, it seems as if everywhere I turn I am representing a party in a domestic violence matter, whether in relation to or separate from an ongoing divorce matter. With these recent experiences fresh in my mind, I thought I would take the time to blog about the lawyer's role in representing a defendant in such matters. While it is easy to sympathize with the victim, oftentimes it is the defendant who is falsely accused or caught up in a situation where the victim is trying to get a "leg up" over the other party in the context of a divorce. On of our prior post entited the The Abuse and Misuse of the Domestic Violence Statute, published almost 2 years ago, is perhaps our most commented on post.
Whether the person is the victim or defendant, each passing moment is critical in the compressed time between the filing of the domestic violence complaint and the final hearing to determine whether a temporary restraining order should be converted to a final (permanent) restraining order. I paraphrase one recent client's opinion as to his wife obtaining a TRO against him – with one call by her to the police, his entire life began crumbling before his eyes as his family and career had been put at risk.

Kurt Hannemann (* 30. Juni 1908 in Mischpettern; † 21. November 1991 in Bad Oldesloe) war ein deutscher Bibliothekar.

Leben
Kurt Hannemann wurde am 30. Juni 1908 in der ostpreußischen Landgemeinde Mischpettern (heute: Mišpetriai) im Landkreis Tilsit geboren. 1927 bestand er in Stettin die Reifeprüfung und studierte danach Germanistik, Romanistik, Philosophie und vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft. 1939 legte er das Staatsexamen für das Lehramt an Höheren Schulen ab und promovierte im gleichen Jahr an der Universität Greifswald mit einer Dissertation über die Heliandüberlieferung. Noch während des Zweiten Weltkriegs begann er mit dem Bibliotheksreferendariat an der Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg, das er 1949 mit der Fachprüfung abschloss.

Zum 1. Februar 1950 nahm er eine Stelle an der Badischen Landesbibliothek in Karlsruhe an, wo er sich den überlieferten mittelalterlichen Handschriftenbeständen widmete und von 1960 bis zu seiner Pensionierung die Handschriftenabteilung leitete. Sein Hauptaugenmerk ruhte dabei auf den Handschriften des Klosters Reichenau. Die zwischen 1970 und 1974 neu gedruckten Bände der Reihe Die Handschriften der Badischen Landesbibliothek bereicherte er mit Nachträgen zum neuesten Forschungsstand und zur aktuellen Sekundärliteratur.

Daneben publizierte Hannemann zu regionalen Reformatoren wie Johannes Reuchlin und Philipp Melanchthon sowie zur Geschichte der badischen Klosterbibliotheken. Gemeinsam mit Ernst Mehl verfasste er eine Bibliotheksgeschichte, die sich vornehmlich an Germanisten wandte. Sein Interesse für die Literatur des Mittelalters schlug sich in germanistischen Fachbeiträgen nieder. 1973 trat Hannemann in den Ruhestand. 1980 zog er nach Bad Oldesloe, wo er am 21. November 1991 verstarb.

Sixteen scenes of Charlevoix hand-painted on a 6 foot by 3.5-foot fiberglass fish. CharleFish joined the Great Northern Fish-In Fundraiser put on by the Northern Michigan Red Cross. Dozens of fish decorated by local artists were featured around Northwest Michigan the summer of 2003. All were auctioned off in August at the Bay Harbor Yacht Basin at a wrap-up party.
We See the Same Thing You See, We Just See it Differently!!
The Red Cross did their project every couple of years. One year they did a bench or a chair. I was a founding board member of the Charlevoix Circle of Arts and I decided to get a group of artist together to paint a bench for the project. I knew the Charlevoix Lighthouse was a popular subject matter (I was thinking of auction time) so I asked some of my artist friends to come together and paint, in their style, the lighthouse, They could paint it however they liked. We met at the Circle and worked in the basement and created a really fun piece. There is another full rendering on the back of the seat back for a total of nine totally different versions of the Charlevoix lighthouse. They displayed it in East Park Downtown Charlevoix. It was very popular and a wonderful patron of the community bought it at auction. I was so proud to head up and participate in this project. It brought awareness that you can all look at the exact same thing, but see it totally different.

Massage Therapy: Ancient Healing Practice With Modern Day Benefits
by aquariuswellness | Jun 27, 2017 | Therapy | 0 comments
With so much focus these days on going back to our roots as a means of healing, it's no wonder massage therapy is becoming a popular wellness option. As one of the world's most ancient healing techniques, massage therapy benefits can provide us with the much-needed stress reduction and health enhancement we need to tackle our busy lives.
What is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is a broad term used to describe a service that provides touch and bodywork healing to the client. A skilled massage therapist uses manual touch to manipulate their client's soft tissues, which include connective tissue, muscles, ligaments and tendons.
There are dozens of forms of therapeutic massage known as modalities. Each modality has its own philosophy. Which modality the therapist uses is largely based on the client's individual needs and ailments.
Regardless of the modality used, the ultimate goal of massage therapy is to improve the client's health and wellbeing and address specific problem areas that need repair. But in principle, they all have commonalities that work with the body's different systems and functions.
History of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy has been a staple element of natural healing for thousands of years. Though it's perhaps better understood today from a medical or scientific perspective, the practice itself largely holds true to its original roots.
Ancient civilizations in both the East and West believed in massage therapy benefits. They felt it was a sacred and natural way to heal injuries and prevent and cure diseases. They also knew that it could relieve pain, reduce stress and help achieve a deep state of relaxation.
Historians estimate that an early form of massage began as a healing method in India around 3,000 BCE. As part of the traditional medical system in India called Ayurveda, holistic wellness practitioners used touch therapy as a way to restore balance and harmony in their patients.
The ancient Chinese practiced massage therapy dating back to 2700 BCE. In traditional Chinese medicine, massage was used as a way to prevent disease and promote health and vitality by restoring balance to the body's internal energy called Qi. Touch therapy and bodywork helped to facilitate the free flow of this energy along the body's internal energy pathways known as meridians. This offered the body a greater chance of healing itself.
Scientists studied Ancient Egyptian tomb paintings, which reveal that this traditional civilization used bodywork and kneading techniques on their people. Scientists also feel that around 2500 BCE, the Egyptian medical system developed reflexology—a type of bodywork that connects pressure points on the hands and feet to other areas of the body for a variety of health benefits. Traditional healing methods in Egypt would eventually make their way to the Greek and Roman cultures.
By 800 BCE, Ancient Greeks began practicing massage therapy on their athletes to maintain peak physical condition. Greek physicians combined aromatherapy oils with their massage techniques as a way of treating a range of conditions. By 500 BCE, Hippocrates taught his colleagues the benefits of body rubbing to heal injuries. He believed that "friction", as he called it, should be used in conjunction with healthy diet, sleep and exercise habits to help the body heal itself.
"The physician must be experienced in many things, but most assuredly in rubbing." –Hippocrates
As medicine continued to advance, massage therapy faded from standard medical practice. It was replaced instead with rapidly developing pharmacological approaches. However, by the 1800s, massage therapy made a comeback. The Swedish massage, pioneered by Per Henrik Ling, was used as part of the Swedish Gymnastic Movement System. The system employed bodywork techniques like pressing, squeezing and stroking. Eventually, the technique was perfected into what we know today as the Swedish massage.
By the early 1900s, physicians treated World War I soldiers for their physical injuries, nerve damage and shell shock (PTSD) using massage therapy. It proved to be an effective form of treatment and became a recognized and valued medical profession throughout Europe and North America.
It wasn't until the 1950s when massage therapy benefits were revitalized yet again in the US. This was part of the resurgence in popularity of natural healing methods. By the 1980s, massage therapy was widely accepted as a sought-after and effective wellness technique.
Today, massage therapy is a desirable profession and an important service. The practice of today represents an amalgam of both ancient and modern techniques all with the unwavering goal of helping patients achieve physical and emotional wellbeing. Massage therapy benefits are increasingly supported by evidenced-based research from the scientific community.
Massage Therapy Benefits for Stress Reduction
Massage therapy benefits are needed today more than ever for many reasons. The curse of today's society is the overwhelming busyness and non-stop, on-the-go lifestyles that we've fallen victim to. Stress causes severe muscle tension and chronic pain. Additionally, many of us sit at computers all day, which can lead to shoulder, neck and back pain.
Our sedentary, non-ergonomic lives can cause acute injury and chronic postural problems. Additionally, these problems can be compounded by an unrelenting gravitational field, which leads to chronic stress and tension. This is why it's important to receive regular massage therapy sessions to counter the daily onslaught to our bodies. Benefits of massage therapy can be felt virtually immediately, and over time, the long-term benefits will pay off in illness prevention and increased productivity.
Aquarius Wellness offers leading massage therapy techniques, including Andrew's Signature Massage. Our team can help you restore peace and wellness into your life, alleviate chronic tension and help prevent further injury or illness.

University of Aberbeen, Scotland, U.K.
Clinical symptoms in lumbar spinal stenosis are posture-related. Pain and numbness in the buttock and leg are often provoked either by walking or by prolonged standing. Symptomatic relief may be obtained by lying and sitting. It is well known that the available space within the lumbar spinal canal decreases with extension, axial loading, and increases in flexion. The unique design of Position MRI allows patients to be scanned whilst standing, sitting or lyijng down. This facilitates imaging in postures where patients report discomfort. Before this new capability is applied to diagnosis, the relationship between dural sac cross sectional area and lumbar posture in normal individuals must be ascertained.
29 male volunteers, with no symptoms of low back pain or sciatica, were recruited for this study. The mean age was 32.9 years (21-61). Prior to imaging each individual lay for 20 minutes in the supine position before studied with pMRI using a 0.6T FONAR Indominitable Stand-up MRI scanner. Data was collected in the supine, standing, simple sitting, sitting flexion and sitting extension positions. Cross sectional area of the dural sac and diameter of the dural sac, in both sagittal and axial images were measured at the level of the disks at L3/4, L4/5 and L5/S1 on pMRI images, by two trained observers.
Statistically significant positional dependence of the dural sac diameter was found at the L3/4, L4/5 and L5/S1 levels. The smallest dural sac dimensions were found in the supine position. The greatest area was found in the sitting flexed position. In the erect posture the area was less than sitting in neutral or flexion. Sitting in extension was found to have a smaller area than sitting in flexion. The difference in the cross-sectional area was also statistically significant in each posture at all levels studied. The supine posture gave the smallest cross-sectional area compared to sitting in flexion and in extension.
Alterations in the dimensions of the dural sac can be observered and accurately measured in different postures, using pMRI. This information will be useful for the examination and management of patients sufferijng from lumbar spinal canal stenosis.

Doctor Who is back for it's ninth modern-era season, and I don't think you could boast a much bigger premiere than The Magician's Apprentice. As if seeing the Doctor and Clara again after a year wasn't enough, this episode also marks the return of the Master (still under the guise of Missy, played by the ever wonderful Michelle Gomez), the Daleks and even a few other surprises. In the age of the internet where it's so hard to be surprised by anything, some of the best episodes of Doctor Who always turn out to be the ones where they've managed to keep something big under wraps. So if you haven't seen the episode yet, be sure to stop reading about it and go check it out as soon as possible. If you have seen it however, read on in the first of what should hopefully be another great year of weekly episode reviews.
The Doctor is nowhere to be found. Missy arrives back on Earth with a confession dial, the last will and testament of the Doctor. Claiming that the Doctor only has one day left to live (which is when the dial will open), she teams up with Clara to locate her oldest friend. Travelling back to medieval England, they find the Doctor spending his final weeks partying. However soon he is also found by Colony Sarff, who has been searching across the cosmos for the Doctor on behalf of his employer - Davros.
The creator of the Daleks is dying, and has requested one final meeting with his greatest adversary. The Doctor complies, taking Missy and Clara in tow. However this time the Doctor's history with Davros goes much further back than the creation of the Daleks, and wherever Davros is you can be sure that his children aren't too far behind.
The Magician's Apprentice bursts on screen with an extremely strong opening, presenting a child trying to escape the wastelands of a war torn planet. As the Doctor arrives on the scene, he soon realises he's on Skaro and the child he's trying to save is none other than Davros himself. This jaw-dropping reveal goes on to form the basis of the whole episode, as a dying Davros seems to finally remember this encounter (which neatly ties up any questions it rises) and summons the Doctor one last time. Julian Bleach returns to role once again, offering a suitable weariness to the dying despot. His exchanges with Capaldi's Doctor seem much more natural than the dynamic he previously had with David Tennant's Doctor in The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, and with the tension between them plays well on the pair's previous encounters. "That" scene in Genesis in the Daleks constantly comes up each time the pair face off again, but here we see the message of it turned on its head as the Twelfth Doctor again shows his darker elements. The only weak link in this fine return for Davros was some of the dialogue. After The Stolen Earth made some of his lines feel like a pastiche of Emperor Palpatine, this time it was Voldemort's turn. "Dark Lord of Skaro" is a really ill-fitting title.
Also showing up again is Missy, who when we last saw her in Death in Heaven seemed to meet a rather grizzly end. But if you were expecting an explanation better than "Not dead. Back. Big surprise." you'll be sorely disappointed - but it is a wonderful homage to how Anthony Ainley's Master used to cheat certain death on a monthly basis back in the 80s. And while she's just as crazy as ever, this episode really stripped back the zany Mary Poppins antics to bring the twisted relationship the two Timelords have to the forefront. Missy receiving the Doctor's will felt like a nice callback to the Doctor taking the Master's ashes at the beginning of the 1996 TV movie, and her explanation of their friendship transcending how humans can perceive their relation fits the situation much better than her arrival in the previous season. My initial worry was that her appearance here would negate the threat of Davros/the Daleks (much like how the Cybermen suffered), but she wasn't overbearing in the slightest.
The story wasn't all doom and gloom though, with the Doctor's medieval "party" showing off that sillier side of the character that's become much less apparent with this new incarnation. Showing up to a duel playing electric guitar and riding a tank? As far as entrances go that has to be up there someone. Though some of the Doctor's best comedic moments are usually due to some impending doom (we didn't see it much, but think back to the Tenth Doctor going wild just before The End of Time), that doesn't make them any less fun to watch.
Finally we have the return of the Daleks, who once again seem to be calling upon their ranks throughout time. After an incredibly lacklustre return of the classic style Daleks in Asylum of the Daleks, The Magician's Apprentice brought them back in a more impressive, if a little illogical fashion. Among the returning variants were the original 1963 version, the Special Weapons and renegade drones from Remembrance of the Daleks, and even the black and red Supreme models from the newer series. Why exactly all these variants have come together doesn't make a whole lot of sense (especially since there were OPPOSING versions), but hey - in terms of spectacle it definitely worked. And coming straight after the return of Skaro and before that jaw-dropping cliffhanger, this episode really ended with a bang. Even if said bangs don't quite have the desired effect when you remember that this is only the first episode.
There have been a fair few great season premieres for Doctor Who. Last year's Deep Breath was excellent stuff, and despite it's flaws Rose was one of the biggest moments in the show's 50+ year history. But The Magician's Apprentice is a definite contender for one of the best, hitting the ground running with a barrage of surprises, twists and just good old plain suspense. If the whole season can keep up this level of quality, it's going to be one hell of a year.

Scream: The Brilliant Horror Still Shines 25 Years Later
By dangirolamo
In entertainment, movies, Pop Culture, TV Movies Music
There are two camps involved when discussing Scream, the 1996 slasher film about a killer in a Halloween costume that wreaks havoc on a small town. You either believe Scream is a good movie or a great movie.
Let's start with the first camp. Why is Scream a good movie? For starters, the story is pretty straightforward to understand. A killer known as Ghostface, who wears a ghost mask and black gown, targets a high school girl named Sidney Prescott one year after the murder of her mother in the town of Woodsboro, California. The killer begins to murder teenagers and townspeople as he fights to get closer to his main target, Sidney.
In two sentences, the main character and plot are established without confusion. It's a classic "whodunnit," as the audience seeks to learn the identity of the killer, and why they're targeting a teenage girl.
Good premise? Check.
Good writing and direction? Double-check.
For the latter, you couldn't find a better director in this genre than the "Master of Horror," Wes Craven. As a pioneer in horror, Craven is the mastermind behind the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise as well as cult classics like The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, and Swamp Thing.
The script was written by Kevin Williamson, who was an unknown writer at the time. Williamson wrote a script called Scary Movie, which became Scream, that combined elements of a slasher film with a black comedy. Though mostly known for his horror projects, I always find it ironic that Williamson created the teen drama, Dawson's Creek. Imagine a Scream and Dawson's Creek double feature. Sign me up.
In terms of its cast, Scream elected to go with established actors at the time instead of unknowns, which was typically common in horror. Neve Campbell was on Party of Five, Courtney Cox was on Friends, and David Arquette had roles in Parenthood and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to go along with being from the famous Arquette family.
All of these elements (premise, script, director, cast) set Scream up for success. Add in a twist ending where it's revealed Ghostface was not one, but two killers and Scream was an instant, entertaining thriller.
It's a good movie.
But it's not just a good movie.
Scream is a great movie. In fact, I'll go one step further and describe it as brilliant.
The seismic impact of Scream in the horror genre cannot be overstated. Scream combined the meta-humor of a black comedy with the gore and frightfulness of a horror film. Williamson was clearly a huge horror fan as his script is an homage to Halloween. The concept of introducing characters who were self-aware and in on the joke was ingenious. The teens openly discuss horror films and poke fun at the cliches throughout the film. Everybody is a suspect, don't have sex, don't have alcohol or drugs, never say you'll be right back, etc. Randy even explains the rules for survival in a horror film!
I left out one very important cast member, and her presence adds to the genius of Scream. The actress I'm referring to is Drew Barrymore. In 1996, Barrymore was a huge name in Hollywood. Barrymore was very established in pop culture by 1996, having been in E.T., Batman Forever, Guncrazy, and Poison Ivy. She even flashed David Letterman. Barrymore was about to hit the A+list, which is why it came as a surprise that she signed up for a small horror film after reading the script one night.
Barrymore was set to play the leading role of Sidney but had to drop out due to previous commitments. Most stars would leave the project entirely, but Barrymore stayed on and asked to play Casey Becker, the girl who appears in the opening scene. Although she's in the film for around 10 minutes, it's arguably the most important scene in the entire franchise.
As Barrymore mentioned on Hot Ones, she wanted to change the rules of a horror film. Most of the time, you never think the main character is truly in trouble since they'll never die, and if they are murdered, it's never at the beginning.
Not Scream.
Here's your biggest star in the movie and she's killed within the first 10 minutes. That's a Red Wedding-type move. Killing Barrymore was jaw-dropping moment that confirmed nobody was safe. Anyone could be killed at any time. Even Henry Winkler (in an uncredited role)!
I'd be remiss if I didn't give a special shoutout to Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard, who played Ghostface as a duo. To steal a phrase from The Rewatchables podcast, this duo gave the biggest heat check performance in the movie. It's so over-the-top and filled with memorable one-liners, but it fits their characters. Psycho teenage murders are probably going to be a little dramatic and crazy.

Scream rewrote and revitalized the slasher genre, and its legacy should still be celebrated 25 years later.
Besides, if you remove all the humor and violence, Scream is simply an advertisement for landlines.

Jennifer Aniston's Visit from Brad's Mom
Aniston welcomes a special guest on Father's Day: her ex mother-in-law
Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt split more than two years ago – but that wasn't the end of Aniston's relationship with Pitt's parents.
In fact, on Sunday – Father's Day – Pitt's Springfield, Mo.-based mother, Jane, dropped by Aniston's Malibu home for a quick chat.
Odd that the actress is still close to her former in-laws? No way, says Pitt's brother Doug. "Jennifer is a friend of Brad's," he tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "Why wouldn't she be a friend of ours?"
This certainly wasn't the first time Aniston has connected with her ex's family – Jane and Pitt's sister Julie visited her in Chicago in 2005 while she was filming The Break-Up with future boyfriend Vince Vaughn, and Aniston told Vanity Fair she and Jane keep in regular touch.
But Aniston is hardly pining for her ex – just days before Jane's visit, she had another VIP guest: her new beau, British model Paul Sculfor, who stopped by on June 15.

Britain must choose from a range of existing off-the-peg models for its relationship to the European Union when it leaves the bloc, Brussels' chief negotiator Michel Barnier has told a group of newspapers.
He said a bespoke deal could only be negotiated after an orderly departure.
Barnier, who is leading the EU's negotiations with Britain after last year's Brexit vote, told Handelsblatt that while it was in both sides' interest to maintain a close relationship, the range of possible relationships was limited.
European leaders decided this weekend that Britain had not made enough progress on exit negotiations to begin work on devising a future relationship, leading to concern in Europe and the world that Britain could crash out of the bloc in disorderly fashion, with serious economic and political consequences.
May in Florence: "We can do so much better" than Canada deal.
Barnier: "You can't have Norway's advantages with Canada's weak constraints"
"A disorderly exit would bring enormous problems – mainly for Britain, but also for us," he said in the interview with Handelsblatt and four further European newspapers. That would affect everything from food supply to healthcare.
The process of designing a longer-term relationship with the EU was also fraught with difficulties, he added, warning that the EU would need to find ways to head off any British attempts to undercut European environmental or welfare standards.
In my view, Barnier is quite right to say that there are a limited number of established models of cooperation, that the "only way to do it without difficulties" would be for the UK to stay within the single market (e.g. the EEA/Norway model, which the UK appears to reject), and that an FTA model (e.g. the Canada model) would be much less satisfactory for all concerned. He is also obviously right to say that for the UK to "crash out" without an agreement would be extremely disruptive.
We studied these issues on behalf of the ITRE Committee of the Parliament. There are other models, including the Swiss arrangements (participation in the single market through a mass of bilateral agreements). Swiss arrangements are intermediate in effectiveness between EEA membership and mere FTA arrangements. For specific thematic areas (energy, research policy), there are additional options, each however with limitations. See https://tinyurl.com/y9xuxas2.
