The following is a press release courtesy of Saint Louis University:
ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis head swimming and diving coach Jim Halliburton has announced the addition of 23 student-athletes (13 women, 10 men) for the 2014-15 competition season. Anna Becker, Antonia Franco, Nora Gartland, Mina Glenesk, Megan Harper, Kerby Ingram, Riley Kirby, Heidi Lanning, Elaine Mahon, Morgan Parkinson, Kalley Schwab, Hillary Rancap and Maggie Sheean will compete for the women's team while Creed Chambers, Shawn Cole, Stephen Cole, Aaron Cosenza, Mitch Cooper, Jeremy Goodison, Ryan McCoy, Jackson Palmer, Rick Roberts and Karl Schaenzer will join the men's team.
"This is one of the biggest and strongest recruiting classes in Saint Louis Swimming and Diving history," Halliburton said. "Over 20 new freshmen will be coming to Saint Louis University next fall. On the women's side, our goal was to try to get several good backstrokers, another diver and some swimmers who could help our relays right away. On the men's side, we needed another diver and we were looking for help in the butterfly events, along with some top swimmers who could compete for future relay spots. I believe we reached all of our goals with this recruiting class."
Becker is a breaststroke and IM specialist from Rochester, Minn. She is an All-Conference and All-State performer from Lourdes High School, where she qualified for the Minnesota state championships. Becker has career-best times of 1:08.47 in the 100-yard breaststroke, 2:28.51 in the 200-yard breaststroke and 2:14.12 in the 200-yard IM.
"We are hoping that Anna can provide some depth in the breaststroke events for us next year, especially in the 200-yard breaststroke event," Halliburton said.
Franco comes to Saint Louis from Omaha Marian High in Omaha, Neb. She is a sprint freestyler who earned a spot in the Nebraska state championships. Franco turned in top times of 24.95 in the 50-yard freestyle and 55.83 in the 100-yard freestyle. Additionally, she earned Academic All-Conference plaudits as a senior.
"Antonia has some very good sprint speed in the 50-yard freestyle and we hope that she can work on her endurance so that she can also help us in the 100- and 200-yard freestyle," Halliburton said.
Gartland is a standout from Fenwick High School in Oak Park, Ill. She is primarily a breaststroke specialist, turning in a top time of 1:05.70 in the 100-yard breaststroke and 2:30.62 in the 200-yard breaststroke. If she would have competed for SLU this season, Gartland would have had the Billikens second-best 100-yard breaststroke time of the 2013-14 campaign.
"Nora is a sprint breaststroke specialist. We expect her to compete for a medley relay spot right away and hope that she can also develop into a good 200-yard breaststroke swimmer," Halliburton said.
Glenesk comes to Saint Louis from Westlake High School in Austin, Texas. She competes in butterfly and freestyle events. Glenesk's times of 1:54.12 in the 200-yard freestyle and 10:37.04 in the 1000-yard freestyle would rank fourth in SLU history. She also would be one of SLU's top performers in the 500-yard freestyle (5:05.24) and the 200-yard butterfly (2:08.10).
"Mina will be a great addition to our middle distance group. She already has one of the top times on our team in all of the freestyle events 200 yards and longer. She also will help us right away in the 200-yard butterfly," Halliburton said.
Harper is a backstroke and sprint freestyle specialist from Jesuit High School in Portland, Ore., where she is the 13th-ranked swimmer in the state. She has personal bests of 53.95 in the 100-yard freestyle, 58.62 in the 100-yard backstroke and 2:07.53 in the 200-yard backstroke. Both of Harper's backstroke times would be in the top five all-time at Saint Louis.
"Megan will give us much needed help in the backstroke events and will also swim some freestyle events next year," Halliburton said.
Ingram is a Springfield, Ill., native from Sacred Heart-Griffin High School. She swims IM and backstroke events. Ingram touched the wall at 59.41 in the 100-yard backstroke and 2:11.71 in the 200-yard IM at the 2014 Illinois sectional championships. She is a YMCA National qualifier.
"Kerby is another backstroker and we also look for her to help us in the IM events. She improved a lot her senior year and we look forward to more improvement at SLU," Halliburton said.
Kirby hails from Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Ill. She competes in the freestyle and backstroke events. Kirby has career bests of 1:54.59 in the 200-yard freestyle (tied for fifth all-time at Saint Louis), 57.56 in the 100-yard backstroke (fourth all-time) and 2:03.94 in the 200-yard backstroke (second all-time, would have scored points in the 2013-14 Atlantic 10 Championship). She is an National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA) Junior National qualifier.
"Riley comes to SLU with some of the fastest backstroke times we have ever had. We are looking forward to her and our other freshman backstrokers to turn our weakest events last season into one of our strongest events next year. We also expect Riley to help us a lot in some of the mid-distance free events," Halliburton said.
Lanning is a freestyle and backstroke swimmer from The Woodlands , Texas. She is a Texas regional qualifier, swimming in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 55.68. Lanning also has top times of 1:03.44 in the 100-yard backstroke and 2:12.88 in the 200-yard backstroke.
"Heidi is another backstroker who has looked good in the 200-yard backstroke. We think she will provide valuable depth in the backstroke events," Halliburton said.
Mahon is a local product from Cor Jesu Academy in St. Louis, alma mater of Billiken Haley Debandt. She is a sprinter who qualified for the Missouri state championships competing in the 50-yard freestyle (25.39), 100-yard freestyle (54.18, 13th overall) and 200-yard freestyle (1:58.49, 14th overall).
"Elaine has been a strong swimmer, but has never swam year round. We have been impressed with her times and are excited to watch her develop," Halliburton said.
Parkinson comes to SLU from Lincoln Way North High School in Frankfort, Ill. She competed in the 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke at the Illinois state championship, and she is an NCSA Junior National qualifier. Parkinson's 200-yard breaststroke time of 2:26.87 would have been the second fastest on the SLU team during the 2013-14 season. She also has personal bests of 1:06.25 in the 100-yard breaststroke, 2:13.94 in the 200-yard IM and 53.74 in the 100-yard freestyle.
"Morgan could be one of our top breaststrokers next year. She gained very good experience this spring competing at the NCSA Junior National meet," Halliburton said.
Schwab is a diver from Owatonna High School in Owatonna, Minn. She qualified for the Minnesota state meet turning in a score of 236.80 and finishing 17th overall.
"Kalley will add some much need depth to our diving group next year. She is a very pretty diver who just needs to work on adding some 'DD' to her list," Halliburton said.
Rancap competes for Lake Forest High School in Lake Forest, Ill. She is a backstroke specialist who also can swim the freestyle events. At the 2014 Illinois sectional championships, Rancap touched the wall at 59.16 in the 100-yard backstroke. That would be the fifth-fastest time in Saint Louis history for the event.
"Hillary is another backstroker coming to SLU next season. We are excited to see her develop as a Billiken and look forward to seeing her in the pool," Halliburton said.
Sheean is a sprint freestyle and backstroke specialist from Fenwick High School in Oak Park, Ill. She is the 25th-ranked female swimmer in the state of Illinois according to CollegeSwimming.com. Sheean is an NCSA Junior National qualifier, and placed 10th at the Illinois state meet with a time of 52.07 in the 100-yard freestyle. She has posted personal bests of 24.11 in the 50-yard freestyle, 57.75 in the 100-yard backstroke and 2:07.83 in the 200-yard backstroke. All of these times would rank in the all-time top five at Saint Louis.
"We expect Sheean to compete immediately at Saint Louis. She has been very consistent in turning in very good sprint freestyle and backstroke times last year," Halliburton said.
Chambers is a freestyle and IM specialist out of El Paso, Texas. He has personal bests of 4:45.30 in the 500-yard freestyle, 1:47.70 in the 200-yard freestyle and a long-course converted 4:14.17 in the 400-yard IM. Chambers is a standout in the classroom and will seek a degree in aerospace engineering.
"Chambers has shown some good improvement and potential in the longer freestyle events and the 400-yard IM. We hope that he can add some depth to our distance program," Halliburton said.
Shawn Cole is a local product out of Rockwood Summit High School in Fenton, Mo. He was one of the top divers in the St. Louis metro area, recording a personal-best score of 172.95. This score placed Cole in the top 25 for diving in St. Louis according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He finished seventh in the diving events at the Suburban South Conference meet.
"Shawn will give us some much needed depth to our men's diving team. He improved a lot his senior year and we look forward to Shawn developing a good 3-meter dive list," Halliburton said.
Stephen Cole competes in the backstroke events for Ronald Reagan High School in San Antonio, Texas. He swam in the 2014 Texas regional championships, turning in a time of 52.18 in the 100-yard backstroke. That would be the sixth-fastest time in SLU history. Cole's top time in the 200-yard backstroke is 1:56.53.
"Stephen has a lot of potential in the backstroke events. He is a big strong swimmer who had a great senior year improving his backstroke times a lot. We expect Stephen to step right in and replace our top backstrokers after they graduate," Halliburton said.
Cosenza is a Texas sectional qualifier from Carroll Senior High School in Southlake, Texas. He most recently competed in the 2014 Speedo Champions Series in College Station, Texas. There, Cosenza swam the 200-yard IM (2:02.74), 400-yard IM (4:17.12) and 200-yard butterfly (2:03.89).
"Aaron is a very hard worker who has done well in the longer distance events, especially in the 400-yard IM, 200-yard butterfly and distance freestyle events," Halliburton said.
Cooper comes to Saint Louis from Carmel High School in Carmel, Ind. He is a versatile swimmer, competing in butterfly, freestyle and IM events. Cooper placed 10th in the 100-yard freestyle at the Indiana state meet with a time of 46.74. Cooper has top times of 1:53.90 in the 200-yard IM and 4:05.14 in the 400-yard IM, both of which would be in the all-time top five at Saint Louis.
"Mitch is a very good all-around swimmer. We are hoping that he can place right away in the 400-yard IM at the A-10 Championships. We also like the fact that Mitch can help our team a lot in the 200-yard IM and 200-yard butterfly and 500-yard freestyle," Halliburton said.
Goodison is a versatile distance swimmer from Douglas County High School in Castle Rock, Colo. He has personal bests of 4:45.33 in the 500-yard freestyle, 9:51.97 in the 1000-yard freestyle and 16:27.58 in the 1650-yard freestyle. Goodison placed 15th in the 500 free in the Colorado state championship.
"Jeremy has shown much improvement over the last year in the longer freestyle events and in the 400-yard IM. Some of his top times have been swum at altitude so we are excited to see what he can swim at sea level," Halliburton said.
McCoy is a standout in the pool for Brophy College Prep in Phoenix, Ariz., alma mater of Billiken T.J. Decker. McCoy is ranked as the No. 3 prep swimmer in Arizona and No. 193 in the country by CollegeSwimming.com. He can compete in many events, and his personal bests of 1:39.12 in the 200-yard freestyle, 9:26.85 in the 1000-yard freestyle and 1:50.49 in the 200-yard butterfly are faster than the current Billiken records. McCoy also is a USA Swimming Winter National qualifier.
"Ryan had a great senior year after coming back from a leg injury. Four of the times that he swam last year would break SLU school records. Ryan has the rare ability to swim all of the free events from the 50 all the way up to the 1650. We also expect him to be a great butterfly swimmer for us," Halliburton said.
Palmer specialized in the butterfly and IM events for Lambert High School in Suwanee, Ga. He has top times of 51.96 in the 100-yard butterfly, 1:55.69 in the 200-yard butterfly, 2:04.42 in the 200-yard IM and 4:23.20 in the 400-yard IM. Palmer finished 11th in the 100-yard fly and 34th in the 200-yard IM at the 2013-14 Georgia State Championships.
"Jackson will give us much needed depth in the butterfly events. He is a tall swimmer who we think can lower his butterfly times even more," Halliburton said.
Roberts is a native of Alton, Ill., where he competes in the breaststroke and freestyle events for Alton High School. He competed at the 2014 YMCA National meet in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle, 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle.

Q: How to get intersection point(x,y) on SVG path I have the SVG path, and I want to get point's y coordinate.

SVG line:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1920" height="340" viewBox="0 0 1920 340">
  <path clip-rule="evenodd" fill="none" stroke="#B3B3B3" stroke-miterlimit="10" d="M-.5 60.3c88.8-42 232.2-89.1 355.2-34.4C549.3 112.5 640.3 163 720.3 192.4c80 29.4 278.9 116.9 451.3 61.4 172.3-55.4 328-112.5 568.3-23.2 100.1 43 151.4 65.8 179.6 79.3"/>
</svg>

I try this answer code, but it doesn't fit my need. I think path.getTotalLength() is not great for my question.
How can I do?

Update:
What my project want to do: JSFiddle
I have no idea how red points can match the line for each device size.

A: I suggest that you try paperjs. It's a JS graphics library that uses HTML <canvas> elements as its graphics context(s). Here's an example using your curve and a vertical line at mouse.x, which intersections shown.

let wave_path
let bounds

window.onload = function() {
  //paper is a library for working with canvases; it's like a graphics library that works with a canvas
  //as its GUI window. Each canvas context is its own PaperScope, and the global paper variable is a reference
  //to the currently active PaperScope.
  paper.setup(document.getElementById('paper-canvas'))

  //import wave svg. however, if you integrate paperjs into your page, you might as well draw the curve directly onto the
  //canvas with paper, rather than creating an invisible svg element that you then import.
  let wave_svg = paper.project.importSVG(document.getElementById('svg-wave'))
  wave_svg.visible = true // Turn off the effect of display:none

  //fit wave into paper canvas
  bounds = paper.view.bounds
  wave_svg.fitBounds(bounds)

  wave_path = wave_svg.children[0] //get contained path
  wave_path.strokeColor = 'black'
  wave_path.fillColor = null

  //set event handlers on paper canvas
  paper.view.onMouseMove = mouse_move
}

function mouse_move(event) {
  let mouse_location = event.point

  //clear canvas before redrawing
  paper.project.clear()

  //when creating a graphical object with paper, it automatically gets drawn to the canvas at the end of an event handler

  //draw vertical line to intersect with
  let line = new paper.Path(new paper.Point(mouse_location.x, 0), new paper.Point(mouse_location.x, bounds.height))
  line.strokeColor = 'black'

  //redraw wave path
  new paper.Layer(wave_path)

  //draw intersections
  let intersections = line.getIntersections(wave_path)
  for (intersection of intersections) {
    let circle = new paper.Path.Circle(intersection.point, 5)
    circle.strokeColor = 'red'
    circle.fillColor = 'white'
  }
}

Q: Can only the existence of the right and left derivatives imply continuity? If $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R} \,$ is a function with $x_0 \in \overline{X}   \,\setminus \partial(\overline{X}) $ such that :
$$\exists \,\,\,\,f'_-(x_0)=\lim_{x\rightarrow x_0^-}\dfrac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0},$$
$$\exists \,\,\,\,f'_+(x_0)=\lim_{x\rightarrow x_0^+}\dfrac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}$$
 but with possibly $f'_-(x_0) \not= f'_+(x_0)$,  does this still imply continuity of $f$ ?

A: Suppose that$$\lim_{x\to{x_0}^+}\frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}$$exists (in $\mathbb R$). Then\begin{align}\lim_{x\to{x_0}^+}f(x)&=f(x_0)+\lim_{x\to{x_0}^+}f(x)-f(x_0)\\&=f(x_0)+\lim_{x\to{x_0}^+}\left((x-x_0)\frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}\right)\\&=f(x_0)+\lim_{x\to{x_0}^+}(x-x_0)\lim_{x\to{x_0}^+}\frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}\\&=f(x_0)+0\\&=f(x_0).\end{align}For the same reason, if$$\lim_{x\to{x_0}^-}\frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}$$exists (in $\mathbb R$), then $\lim_{x\to{x_0}^-}f(x)=f(x_0)$.

Accordion lessons by Bosz de Kler
About twenty years ago when a person said he played accordion he was looked upon as a bit pathetic. Many people in the Netherlands considered it to be an old-fashioned instrument. So it was often dismissed as an instrument you would do little more than to play "boring folk tunes' on.
When I got my first accordion in 1994 it was only two weeks later that I went to Paris and discovered that I could earn a living in the underground stations!
But I was not that unexperienced. I was lucky to grow up with a very broad musical exposure including a lot of classical music, modern composers, pop music as well as old folk music, for instance from Flanders and Ireland. As a child I did a lot of singing and learned to play the piano. My teacher's attention was mainly devoted to musical performance as this is even more important than strict accuracy. That is, it is not about the notes, but about the music.
In the end the piano intrigued me not enough. With the accordion, however, I found all what I was looking for: a full range of tones with fascinating dramatic possibilities, not to mention a very special instrument and a very complete tool with which to play both solo. It's even easy to carry along with me. Last but not least it gives acces to a world of music not only from many countries in Europe but also from North and South America and even other continents.
After the adventure in Paris I knew I wanted to be a musician. As soon as I came back in The Hague I formed a band (Vive le Rock! ) and in the following years I played almost constantly accordion on stage and also at the strangest places, I studied from early morning until late at night and also wrote my own songs. With the band we combined many styles in a colourful and exciting blend of music. In it were elements of French and Irish music and Klezmer and American Cajun and Rhythm & Blues. In addition I formed a trio with musicians from the conservatory to play more towards Jazz. Since then I have also worked for several other artists. At this moment I'm working at a beautiful German album with the highly respected Joris Schicks.
Although I still like to play on stage, I also enjoy being an enthusiastic teacher. I've been doing so for a number of years now, and - like my piano teacher did for me, to help students make music from notes. It's the only way you can learn to love music! It is a matter of practice and patience but everyone can learn it, and experience the fact that an accordion is a great instrument. Moreover, these folk tunes can be surprisingly beautiful. Besides folk tunes we could also work at a whole range of other music, so please let me know what YOU would like to learn! You can either play your own accordion or rent one from me. Additionally I have many contacts in the world of music, I'll help you with pleasure! There is a whole new world to discover!
In the next pages you can read how it all works. If you want to take lessons or need additional information please contact me by email or telephone.
Here you can see me performing my version of La Valse d'Amelie composed by Yann Tiersen

Gemma Ray is a British songwriter, guitarist, singer, film composer and producer.

Background
Born in Basildon, Essex, England, and raised in nearby Billericay, Ray has released eight studio albums on the Bronze Rat label.  She has collaborated with artists including Sparks and Alan Vega and members of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

Ray fuses many disparate genres, and has been given diverse tags such as "pop-noir", "sideways blues", and "gothic folk".

Studio albums

The Leader
Gemma Ray's debut album, The Leader, was co-produced by Michael J Sheehy of the band Dream City Film Club. Released on 2 June 2008, it featured the single "Hard Shoulder" / "Name Your Lord".

Unable to tour the album as a result of being struck down by illness, Ray wrote and recorded the album Lights Out Zoltar!

In 2018, The Leader was reissued on vinyl as an exclusive Record Store Day release to mark its 10th anniversary.

Lights Out Zoltar!
Appearing just a year on from her debut album, Ray's distinctive sound blending psychedelic noir-pop with a "wall-of-sound girl group backing" is evident on Lights Out Zoltar! Spin magazine described the album's sound as "if Phil Spector forced his girl groups in a more noir-soundtrack direction. Ray has a truly impressive feel for vintage pop flourishes, layered to lavish effect".

The track "100 mph (In 2nd Gear)" from the album was released as a single on 23 August 2009.

Lights Out Zoltar! earned Ray an Independent Music Award. After seeing Ray perform live supporting Mott the Hoople in 2009, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page declared Gemma Ray "not to be missed!"

It's A Shame About Gemma Ray
It's A Shame About Gemma Ray features reworkings of songs by a diverse selection of artists including Sonic Youth, Buddy Holly and The Gun Club. Recorded over five days in New York, the songs are delivered in Ray's characteristic style of guitar playing and singing. The album was recorded at the studio of Heavy Trash's Matt Verta-Ray and was released on 1 June 2010.

In support of the album, Ray appeared as a special guest of the band Grinderman on their European tour in 2011. That same year saw the release of The Runaway EP, which featured the single "Runaway" as well as a cover of The Shangri-Las song "Walking in the Sand".

Island Fire
In 2010, after appearing on TV show Rockwiz (duetting with Jon English), Ray found herself briefly stranded in Australia when the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted. Whilst grounded there, she began work on what would become Island Fire. Co-produced with Andy Zammit and Michael Szumowski, the album was released to widespread acclaim on 12 March 2012. Island Fire, which is characterised by a mix of "sugary and savoury girl-group dramarama" and "lavish orchestral pop", peaked at number 19 on the CMJ chart. The video for the song "Rescue Me" appeared on the revamped Top of the Pops 2.

Island Fire includes two bonus tracks in the form of a collaboration with the band Sparks, which was also released as a separate 7" single entitled "Gemma Ray Sings Sparks (With Sparks)". Produced by Russell & Ron Mael, the songs are essentially Sparks covering Gemma covering Sparks.  The artwork for the 7" was designed by Rick Froberg of the bands Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes and Obits.

Island Fire was released on Shock Records in Australia.

Down Baby Down
In 2013 Ray released the vinyl-only "fantasy soundtrack" album Down Baby Down, which featured Thomas Wydler of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Demonstrating Ray's "formidable skills as an arranger", Down Baby Down was met with critical acclaim and prompted Mojo magazine to declare Ray an "inspired music machine". The album was performed in its entirety with Thomas Wydler, Andy Zammit and chorus ensemble at Berlin's Imperial Club on 3 December 2013.

Milk For Your Motors
Appearing soon after the picture disc single "Death Disc" (a Record Store Day exclusive), Milk For Your Motors is "an extraordinary addition to an already impressively idiosyncratic catalog". A collection of "noir-ish surf-doom ballads and expansive pop-exotica", the record features several guest appearances including Alan Vega of the band Suicide on the track "Motorbike", Howe Gelb on "The Wheel", The German Film Orchestra Babelsberg, and Deke Leonard.  Its release was marked by a series of performances with the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg which was arranged by Fiona Brice and conducted by Lorenz Dangel. Mojo magazine made Milk For Your Motors the 'Album of the Week', declaring it "unpredictable and inspired...a series of remarkable musical tableaux". The album was released on 22 August 2014.

Gemma Ray toured Milk For Your Motors extensively throughout 2014 and 2015.

2015 also saw Ray perform at two special events paying tribute to the works and legacy of Lee Hazlewood, at the London Barbican, and Lead Belly at The Royal Albert Hall.

The Exodus Suite
Described as a 52-minute odyssey through her unique style of epic torch song psychedelia, The Exodus Suite was recorded live in seven days at the infamous Candy Bomber Studios by producer Ingo Krauss. The album's title reflects the personal-political themes of the songs within. The first track to be made available was "There Must Be More Than This", an Afro-Beat meets Krautrock gambol with a sprinkling of Ethiopiques (courtesy of guest pianist Carwyn Ellis, of the Zarelli and Edwyn Collins' band). The album was released on 20 May 2016.

Ray warmed up many of the tracks as special guest to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion across Europe in February 2016.

Psychogeology
Psychogeology is Ray's most lush and lavish record to date, calling on influences such as The Beach Boys and Fleetwood Mac. Recorded in part at Ray's own studio in Berlin's old mint by the River Spree, but mainly by Ingo Krauss at Candy Bomber Studios, Psychogeology is Ray's most personal record to date. It was preceded by the single "Blossom Crawls", which received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music. The album was released on 15 February 2019 and was supported with a tour of Germany, France, Switzerland and the UK.

Film and TV work
Gemma Ray has contributed music to several films and television series around the world.  She has provided a bespoke version of her song "900 Miles" for the horror film Mum & Dad.

In 2011 she wrote, arranged and recorded the theme song for the TV series Femme Fatales.

In 2015 she wrote, arranged and recorded the score for the German film Vorstadtrocker by The Plura Sisters.

Also in 2015, Ray worked with Wim Wenders on the restoration of his early material which led to a special performance at Berlin's Berlinale Film Festival.  At Wenders' request, Ray performed at the opening party for the Golden Bear Awards alongside the band Calexico.

Her music has also featured on shows such as Netflix's Russian Doll, The Killing, What Remains, Switch and Ringer, as well as films such as Sticky Notes and Sex & Crime.

Gemma has appeared on TV shows including Rockwiz, Spicks & Specks, Jam Sandwich and Top of the Pops 2.

Collaborations
Gemma Ray has collaborated with several notable artists throughout her career.  A chance meeting in Los Angeles with Ron and Russell Mael of the band Sparks led to the band collaborating. The result, a 7-inch single entitled "Gemma Ray sings Sparks (with Sparks)", features the band covering Ray's own interpretation of two of their songs.

Her most frequent and long term collaborator is Andy Zammit, who plays drums with her live and is also involved in the production of many of her albums.

1865 – 21-year old Albert Simpson, founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, preached his first sermon as a pastor in one of Canada's most prestigious pulpits; became ordained; got married; honeymooned; and returned to his pulpit inside one week!
1870s– The Holy Spirit revolutionized Simpson's life. His passion was for the souls of the poor and neglected masses at home and abroad. Sophie Lichenfels, a scrubwoman and member of Simpson''s New York City church, said, "Pastor, he vent to a nudder fancy church in New York City before he gave it all up to preach to plain folk like me."
1885 – In Canada, John Salmon, a young Scottish immigrant, left his Toronto pastorate to launch an independent ministry to the "least, last and lost." When Salmon met his U.S.counterpart in life and ministry, an instant, life-long friendship and association developed.
1887 – Compelled by a sense of urgency to take the gospel message to all nations, Simpson and Salmon were used by God to give birth to The Christian and Missionary Alliance. Dr. William Cassidy, a Toronto medical doctor, was the first ordained missionary in the new mission society. He died of small-pox enroute to China. However, Cassidy's death was the "spark that ignited the Alliance missionary blaze," which has burned to this day.
1920s – The "mission society" became a major evangelical movement on both sides of the border. In Canada, saddle-bag preachers visiting the homesteads of the West, and evangelists conducting campaigns in the East, harvested many souls.
1930s – Church growth in the '30's was in direct contrast to the depression experienced by the entire country.
1941 – The Western Canadian Bible Institute was opened in Regina as a direct result of the need for trained workers in Western Canada. Rev George Blackett, principal and dean, said, "No one is backing it, save the Lord."
1950s – The Alliance in the '50's saw steady, but not dramatic growth. The Alliance stood on the threshold of unprecedented expansion. One very effective means of outreach during those years was radio!
1961 – The first Chinese Alliance church in North America was organized in Regina. The church had its beginnings in 1932 when Ruby Johnston of the Regina Alliance Gospel Hall had a burden for the Chinese of her city. Today, there are over 50 Chinese Alliance churches across Canada.
1980 – The first Canadian General Assembly convened in Winnipeg. Dr. Melvin P. Sylvester was elected the first President. There were 228 churches in Canada.
1981 – The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada became autonomous on January 1st! The Canadian body had 251 churches, 44,549 inclusive members, 436 official workers and 112 missionaries. Global Advance Fund
giving was over $3 million.
1987 – U.S. and Canada joined to celebrate the Alliance centennial! Canada's missionary count surged ahead from 112 to 204 after autonomy.
1988 – The fifth Canadian General Assembly took place in Saskatoon. Plan 2000 was adopted, focusing our attention on the year 2000. The President said, "Goals stretch us. Goals prepare us for the future."
1990 – The sixth Canadian General Assembly convened in "la belle province" – Quebec. In the hour that the fate of the Meech Lake Accord was decided, the Alliance Church joined hands proclaiming the unity we enjoy in the body of Christ.
1992 – The seventh Canadian General Assembly elected Dr. Arnold L. Cook as our second president. A vision for revival, godly leadership and the refocusing of Alliance missions were the tenents of his leadership.
1994 – The eighth Assembly gathered under the banner "The Church Chosen to Triumph" – celebrating God's promise that the church is the only earthly organization that will succeed. "I will build my Church…" (Matthew 16:18)
1998 – We saw the formation of Global Ministeries leadership and the appointment of four Canadian Regional Developers.
2000 – Dr. Franklin Pyles was elected third President of the C&MA in Canada at the Calgary General Assembly. Delegates also adopted a strategic plan that introduced the Vision Prayer and launched the Alliance into the 21st Century with renewed vigor and excitement.
2003 – The Canadian Bible Institute and Seminary relocated to Calgary, Alberta.
2004 – On February 24, 2004 Alliance University College (AUC) was launched when the province of Alberta designated AUC as an institution that may grant Bachelor of Arts degrees
We emphasized our commitment to reaching into the difficult areas through the Four S Venture – Silk Road (Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia), Caribbean Sun (Venezuela, Guatemala, Mexico and Caribbean islands), Desert Sand (North Africa and the Sahara region) and Asian Spice (Indonesia to China).
2007 – Alliance University College changed its name to Ambrose University College.
2012 – Dr. David Hearn is elected President and embarks our family of churches on a path of renewal around being Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered and Mission-focused.

The Weekly Roundup: Passengers' Plight and Experts' Evidence
Articles | Mon 24th Aug, 2020
This week began with the news that the Portuguese President, who back in the day taught administrative law to our friend and publishing collaborator Carlos Torres, had rescued two kayaking tourists from drowning. Never ones to turn down a bit of publicity, and ever-mindful of the possibility of a Baywatch-style scene in slow-mo, we rushed to dust off the 1CL kayaks. But no sooner had we done so than the Australian Ruby Princess inquiry reported, and after that Jatinder Paul, of Irwin Mitchell, notified us of the decision in the most important gastric illness case since Wood v TUI. There's never a dull moment in the travel world.
Griffiths v TUI UK Limited [2020] EWHC 2268 (QB): Accepting Uncontroverted Expert Evidence
Attentive readers will know that we produced a Special Briefing on this case shortly after judgment was handed down. We won't repeat ourselves here, but suffice to say that Spencer J has endorsed the distinction between 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' food poisoning claims, that is to say between those claims which rely on the existence of an outbreak of illness, and those that rely on expert or other evidence on causation. In those cases in which the Claimant relies on expert evidence, and the Defendant has no such evidence, and fails to shake the factual basis on which the expert report has been produced, the opinion of the expert must be accepted unless it is clearly and obviously wrong.
The repercussions of this decision will be obvious to readers. It is now of the utmost importance to Defendants that they obtain their own expert evidence in these cases; it is no longer enough simply to challenge the conclusions of the Claimant's expert in submissions. Nor can the obiter dicta in Wood v TUI be relied upon to support the assertion that in all gastric claims there must be evidence of an outbreak of illness (if indeed this argument ever was a persuasive one. It certainly never persuaded the author of this article).
Ever since the Court of Appeal so robustly rejected the Defendant's floodgates argument in Wood v TUI the County Courts have been overwhelmed by what can only be described as a tsunami of diarrhoea and vomiting. They have responded by raising the evidential bar in relation to evidence on causation; uncontroverted expert conclusions on causation have routinely been rejected by judges content to substitute their own common sense for the expert's opinion. Following the decision in Griffiths this will no longer be permissible.
It will be interesting to see whether more claims for gastric illness will succeed now that the nature of the evidential burden of proof has been corrected in favour of Claimants, or whether judges will simply allow Defendants a greater latitude in instructing experts in these low value claims.
Of course, the possibility remains that TUI may appeal the decision, but if they do, the Court of Appeal will have a chance to revisit Wood v TUI, potentially with unfavourable consequences for tour operators. Either way, the result in Griffiths must be assessed as being further bad news for an already beleaguered industry.

Cruising for a Bruising? Offloading Cruise Passengers
After a five month bout with Covid-19, the world's major cruise liners are battered, bruised, and desperately searching for a reprieve. But this month the industry at last reported some advancement, with the first major cruise liner setting sail in the Mediterranean since February.
As the baby steps towards a resumption of normality continue, the cruise industry is seeking to manage Covid-related risk by imposing strict health and safety protocols purposed to ensure a Covid-free "bubble" on board its ships. These measures include (but are not limited to) operating at 70% capacity, mandatory pre-departure testing, and the imposition of strict rules and regulations on off-board excursions.
When it comes to enforcing these protocols, it is clear that cruise liners are taking no prisoners. Last week, for example, a family found their cruise cut short after they broke the rules of an off-board excursion in Naples. After learning of the breach, the cruise liner's management refused to let the family re-embark on the basis that they would threaten the carefully curated safety bubble on board the ship. The family were thus forced to find their own way home, presumably having to pay out of pocket for alternative accommodation and transport. One can be sure that the family were not best pleased, but what if anything can they or passengers in a similar situation hope to obtain by way of compensation?
In any case, the necessary starting point of the legal analysis is the terms and conditions of the cruise. It will be important to establish, for example, the precise parameters of the rules governing off-board excursions and the extent (if any) to which the passenger acted outside them. As ever, there is likely to be scope for argument on the interpretation of those rules and their application to the misdemeanour in question. An improper application of those rules and a wrongful early termination by the cruise liner would almost certainly entitle the family to compensation.
And what about the terms implied by the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018? Without more, early termination of the holiday contract will amount to non-conformity with the original contract, thus engaging the provisions contained in Regulation 15. However, the family's accompanying right to compensation under Regulation 16(3) can be disapplied where, for example, the lack of conformity is attribute to the traveller: Regulation 16(4)(a). It seems likely the cruise operator would pitch its defence on that basis, that is, that the non-conformity (i.e., the early termination of the contract) was attributable to the family and their failure to adhere to the cruise liner's health and safety protocol. Accordingly, absent any alternative route to compensation under the terms and conditions, the family in Naples (or passengers in a similar situation) may well find themselves without recourse to compensation for the costs of alternative accommodation and transport.
What to make of all of this? Well, the cruise industry has apparently identified strict health and safety protocols as its key lifeline during the era of Covid-19. The case of the family in Naples should serve as a warning shot to cruise line passengers with an adventurous streak. Woe betide the passenger that makes light of the on-board health and safety protocols, it seems…
Henk Soede was called in 2019 and is chambers' latest acquisition, having undertaken pupillage under the supervision of Andrew Spencer, Ian Clarke and Francesca O'Neill, during which he observed a wide range of chambers' work, including claims of a cross border nature.
Cruising without Losing: the Ruby Princess
The independent enquiry into the outbreak of Covid-19 aboard the Ruby Princess has now reported. It will be recalled that when the vessel docked in Sydney in March this year and its 2,650 passengers disembarked, they were not tested for Covid-19, notwithstanding that some of them were known to have contracted the virus aboard the vessel. In the event, at least 900 cases of Covid-19 were associated with the liner, with 28 deaths. 62 people are known to have contracted the illness from passengers after they dispersed.
There had been suggestions that the authorities in New South Wales had been misled by the cruise operator into mischaracterising the vessel as being low risk; the inquiry found that although this categorisation was inaccurate, the authorities had not been misled by Princess Cruises. It concluded:
"There are no 'systemic' failures to address. Put simply, despite the best efforts of all, some serious mistakes were made."
The inquiry's conclusion will come as a relief to Princess' parent, Carnival, which faces litigation arising from the outbreak. At least it cannot be said that it was dishonestly responsible for the spread of infection after the cruise disembarked, although the passengers' claim under the Athens Convention is not affected by the inquiry's findings. Presumably, too, those members of the public who were infected by passengers having disembarked from the vessel would also have a claim against Carnival if it could be shown that the passengers themselves were negligently infected in the first place. However, it should be borne in mind that these events occurred towards the beginning of the pandemic and before the virulence of the virus was fully understood, or the means of acquisition were completely clear. It is suggested that claims relating to this time period would be unlikely to be successful in the absence of compelling evidence of fault on the part of crew members, although as time has worn on, and now that cruises are operating again, claims for outbreaks are much more likely to succeed.
Flying without Crying: a Question of Quarantine
Much criticism has been levelled at the numerous blanket quarantine restrictions imposed by the Government over recent weeks and months, specifically the requirement for returning travellers to self-isolate for 14 days. It has not always been clear, to put it gently, where to locate the logical basis for many of the quarantine decisions, particularly where whole countries have been black-listed even though it was only very select locations therein experiencing any kind of infection spike. The concern of those in the industry, whose revenue depends on international travel, is that these requirements and associated inconveniences deter would-be travellers. The health of the aviation sector in the UK has been covered previously in the Weekly Round-Up, principally in respect of the Transport Select Committee's most recent report, but needless to say the situation is delicate.
Heathrow Airport has taken matters into its own hands, at least in part, and set up its own Covid-19 testing centre for arriving passengers. Located outside Terminal 2, with a second due to open outside Terminal 5 shortly, passengers – at a cost of £150 per go – can be swabbed and tested, with a second follow-up test undertaken five to eight days later. The idea is that if the results are negative for both, they can be then be excused from 'serving' the remainder of the 14 days of quarantine.
Top brass at Heathrow, in particular chief executive John Holland-Kaye, stress that this will avoid the "quarantine roulette" faced by so many passengers in Spain and France, and open up flights to key trading partners such as the US, Canada and Singapore. He cites the Government's own research, which shows that a double test has a high level of accuracy in screening for Covid.
However, the regime requires the green light from the Government, which thus far has been very reluctant to approve any kind of border testing system. Transport Secretary Grant Schapps reported that only 7% of cases would be picked up by a single test upon arrival, though it is unclear what is his riposte to Mr Holland-Kaye's aforementioned point regarding the reliability of double-test systems.
One would hope for a decision in the next fortnight or so, though this does feel to be a very bungle-worthy issue. Provided the science behind the double-test reliability is good, it is difficult to see why or how the Government could say no to a system which requires no organisation or funding by the state. In terms of the attractiveness of the scheme, a Collinson poll of 22,000 frequent flyers found that half would be willing to pay for such a test to help ease travel restrictions.
One of the more junior members of the team, Richard Collier was called to the Bar in 2016. Before that, he had worked as a Judicial Assistant to Lord Justice Jackson in the Court of Appeal. He is now instructed by solicitors for both Claimants and Defendants in cross border disputes, package travel and other related claims.
Last week we brought you news of former Love Island contestant Rosie Williams' new 'White Collar' collection aimed at the fashionable female lawyer. In our self-appointed role as fashion advisors to the profession we were interested to read this week that law-themed facemasks are now A Thing. Obviously we had ordered the 1CL masks some time ago, but it's nice that others are joining the party. In the spirit of competition which is the hallmark of the travel law world, we're offering a small prize to the best face mask slogan for a law-themed or indeed any other facemask; winner to be announced in next week's Weekly Round-Up.

One Morning in Nuremberg
December 21, 2015 March 14, 2020 / Richard Senior
The Altstadt was quiet on that late autumn morning. It was a few weeks too early for the Christkindelmarkt, but there was a regular market with stalls, under red and white awnings, selling gingerbread, wild mushrooms and flowers.
It was a cold morning and the customers' breath fogged in front of their faces at the bratwurst stand as the vendor grilled sausages, stuffed them in buns and slathered them in German mustard. The wind lifted the edge of the awning.
The Pegnitz River slices the old town neatly in half, St Lorenz to the south, St Sebald to the north. Each has a venerable church with twin towers imposing themselves on the skyline of spires and turrets and terracotta roofs.
There is a choice of bridges to cross the river. Several are centuries-old. Museumsbrücke leads directly into the Hauptmarkt – the main market square – and has the best view of them all. To the left, as you walk over it, is the Fleischbrücke, standing since 1598, notwithstanding the Second World War; to the right is the Heilig-Geist-Spital – Holy Spirit Hospital – built in 1339 and beautifully reflected in the river. The low arches beneath it blend into their reflection and form the shape of spectacles.
The cafes around the square across the river had optimistally put out their tables and chairs, but no one was sitting outside that day. A tour group, wrapped up in winter coats, trooped into the square and stopped in front of the Schöner Brunnen, the gilded 14th century fountain. The guide twisted the brass ring in the fence around it with a clank and a squeak and told – I assume – the story I had read in my guidebook about it bringing good luck.
Mention Nuremberg, even now, and many will immediately think of the Nazis; but its history did not begin with Hitler's bombastic rallies, nor end with the war crimes tribunal.
In its half-timbered heyday, it was the unofficial capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the centre of the German Renaissance. Albrecht Dürer, was born and died there; his house survives as a museum. It is one of a cluster of timber-framed fachwerkhäuser in the steep cobbled streets in the lee of the castle at the top of the Aldstadt. The shops around it sell antiques, antiquarian books and, one, garden gnomes in bondage gear, as if gnomes were not creepy enough already.
There is evidently more to Nuremberg, behind the lace curtains, than gingerbread and wooden toys.
I found that again when I started walking round the old city walls and came to a sign which purported to bar the way to under-eighteens. I was puzzled, at first; but beyond it, the windows were framed with red tube lights and the street was busy with furtive middle-aged men.
More tourists appeared in the Hauptmarkt in the quarter of an hour leading up to twelve and assembled on the cobbles in front of the Frauenkirche to watch the mechanical clock. On the hour, a bell tinged, drummers mimed drumming, trumpeters jerked up their arms, and miniature electors rotated around a miniature Holy Roman Emperor.
"Oh!"said the crowd in half a dozen languages,"… Is that it?"

I now have a large bruise in my arse from where I have been repeatedly kicking it for only giving myself ten minutes to cover one of the most awesome static car shows I have seen in Japan so far.
Why wasn't I there on time to cover the Japan Classic Car Association's annual New Year Meeting in the Odaiba parking area? As I mentioned yesterday, we had a rather important interview scheduled at the same time with a person of great interest to the worldwide Japanese modified car scene.
Of course, work generally has to come before pleasure, but when pleasure is only ten minutes down the road from where you're working that day, you're going to try your damnest to get there in time.
I only managed to catch this guy just as he was leaving. I think his name is Komaki, and his Zed is more than awesome.
Of course, you should wash every part of the car except for the very rear, for that combination "just ran an endurance race" and "cops can't read my plate" look.
If you own a hotrod, you should wear the appropriate slicked hair, t-shirt and jeans rockabilly greaser fashion to a car show. In the same way, no self-respecting shakotan-driving Japanese lad would be seen without a Regent as fine as this.
These guys are the "Pilots of Showa Machines". The Showa period of Japanese history ended in 1989 when Emperor Hirohito died. These guys only drive cars from the 80s or earlier.
Hatch propped open, of course.
Just about every Lotus Europa in the country turned up.
These guys all lived a fair way apart from each other, but their similarly-painted Galants made a good team.
There were lots of spare parts for sale in the flea market area.
…and even old car toys.
Old S60 Crown on new Crown wheels.
Who'd have thought a Corona on banded steelies could look this good?
I'm not a B-series Sunny expert, but I think this is the long tray version.
Nissan 240RS Group B road-homologation rally car.
Complete with the very clean and original NA FJ24.
When they say "box fenders", they're not messing around.
Lots of old Skylines coming in part II.
a m a z i n g………… thats so rad!
The 240RS had a FJ24 IIRC.
They rev really high and make good power.
Feck me hard that Z is so rough, so tough.
i wish the greaser style was cool over here!
You covered all that in 10 minutes?!!
That would be right. Correction made.
They started playing the kickout music when we were looking at the Sunny.
awesome pics and coverage!!!!!!! vintage japannn!!!
thx for the pics (and i agree you should get there earlier next time and with a new camera). SHOWA!
That dude with the 240 at least washed the front.
those vintage cars are HOT!

In the last years workflow management systems have known a big expansion all over the world. With the advent of Internet and the subsequent development of web technologies, a different management of the contents and generally a different approach to the problem are needed: nowadays a large number of documents is being exchanged between people around of the world. Often, information is redundant and not well organized :a document workflow serves the purpose of organizing the circulation of information. Moreover, needs for collaboration and cooperation between users induce the utilization of new strategies to optimize workflow processes involving documents. A tool for the design of document workflows has been designed and implemented to help the user in the workflow modeling process. In order to address Non-IT users the main project objective has been usability. Within this thesis a new syntax language has been devised allowing the user to describe the most common document workflow patterns. This language (called Structured Document Workflow Description Language) is part of an entire suite including the forementioned design tool, the language and the engine. The three components are integrated in a working prototype.

Sharpening Stones: Stones are used to completely restore the edge on a dull knife. Most stones are man made from Carborundum and some are natural as in Arkansas stones. Larger stones work better because there is more surface area and the higher the grit of a stone, the smoother the stone and the smoother the cutting edge will be.
IMPORTANT : Sharpening stones require practice and time.

Have You Ever Heard of Shimane?
If you haven't, don't feel bad. Even Japanese people have difficulty telling the difference between Shimane prefecture and its neighbor Tottori. They're both long, seaside, rural prefectures north of Hiroshima in the Chugoku Region, and if you pay attention to Japanese game shows, you might have a chance of seeing the struggle first hand as they pull up a map.
Photo by Lincun [CC-BY-SA-3.0], via Wikimedia
Shimane, Japan (or is it?!)
While Shimane holds dear to its few famous names (at the top of the list, the talented tennis player Kei Nishikori, and in a close second, the famous baseball player Ichiro Suzuki's wife) the prefecture's strength is in the richness of it's citizens and their close ties with the deep culture of their region. Every corner of the prefecture is steeped in history, from the regal Matsue Castle in the north and the historical Iwami Silver Mine to the breathtaking Taikodani Inari Shrine in the town of Tsuwano in the south-west, with the crown jewel of Izumo Taisha, the grand shrine, nestled in the San-in Plains and the beautiful geopark of the Oki Islands floating just above in the Sea of Japan.
Matsue Castle, Shimane
The Kojiki, often translated as "The Record of Ancient Matters," is Japan's oldest text and is primarily a collection of Japanese myths. A full third of the content comes directly from Shimane, so it's no suprise to discover that Shimane is the birthplace of many Japanese myths. These include a large part of Japan's creation myth with Izanami and Izanagi, the legendary battle of the great hero Susano-o and Yamata (Eight-Headed) no Orochi, the parable of kindness "Okuninushi and the Rabbit" and the Legend of Kunibiki, the pulling-together of the country of Japan.
However, Shimane has given much more than myths and history. Two of Japan's most well-known points of culture were founded in this rural prefecture. The world-wide known performance art of Kabuki began in the city of Izumo, Shimane, due to the popular dancing of a miko, a shrine maiden at Izumo Taisha. It was even a local shrine procedure that drove her to travel the country, spreading her kagura, her dance for the gods. Shimane now hosts three major schools of kagura, the unique island-style Oki Kagura, the historical Izumo Kagura, and the popular Iwami Kagura of western Shimane.
Izumo Taisha in Izumo, Shimane
And, thanks to the story of Yamata no Orochi, Shimane is the birthplace of the infamous sake, or rice wine. The hero Susano-o creates sake and feeds it to the monster in order to defeat it. While there may be no more eight-headed creatures threatening the safety of Japan, sake has found plenty of other uses in modern-day story telling. Since all you need for good sake is good water and rice, both of which are easily found in the nature-heavy prefecture, there are over 30 sake breweries in Shimane, many of which are open to tours.
The lack of large metro areas (the largest city being the capital, Matsue, at a little under 200,000, with Izumo trailing behind under 150,000 (2012, UN Data) leads to a destination that can be a little tricky to reach since there is no bullet train access, but it maintains a cohesive, traditional culture and history that just begs to be experienced. If you're looking for Old Japan, look no further than Shimane, the root (根) of the islands (島) of Japan.

PicPoul is a previously little-known grape that is now very fashionable and deservedly growing from strength to strength. This wine featured in a lesson that included a delightful Chablis and yet another super Riesling from Clare Valley but proved to be the surprise winner.
Delicious citrus aromas combined with a zesty palate of ripe lemons, stone fruits with a salinity reminiscent of a sea breeze; what's not to like about this wine? . Great value for money.

Maryland Appellate Court Holds Hospital Entitled To Statutory Immunity For Psychiatric Patient's Murder Of Another Person 11 Days Later
The Court of Special Appeals of Maryland ("Maryland Appellate Court") held in its unreported opinion filed on July 24, 2020 that the defendant hospital in a Maryland wrongful death case in which a psychiatric patient killed another person eleven days after absconding from the hospital was entitled to statutory immunity from such claims.
Underlying Facts
After allegedly robbing a person at gunpoint at a gas station, Anthony Clark, Jr. ("Clark") had been spotted fleeing into a nearby residence. A number of police officers responded. The officers observed Clark "behaving violently[,] cut[ting] his wrists with a box-cutter, and warn[ing] that [the officers] would 'have to kill him.'" The officers entered the home and subdued Clark. Medics transported Clark to the University of Maryland Medical Center ("UMMC") for emergency medical treatment. Clark was admitted to UMMC, where he underwent surgery the following day to repair the self-inflicted laceration on his wrist.
Within several hours of his admission to UMMC, Clark submitted to a psychiatric evaluation. The psychiatrist ordered a sitter for Clark due to his recent suicide attempt. Clark, still in a hospital gown, subsequently walked out of his hospital room and left the building, allegedly because the sitter fell asleep. Eleven days later, Clark shot and killed DiAndre Barnes.
A multi-count complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, naming UMMS and several Baltimore City police officers as defendants that sought to hold UMMS liable for negligently failing to secure Clark during his stay as a patient at UMMC. UMMS moved for summary judgment, arguing its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on two grounds: (1) it was immune from liability under CJP § 5-609(b), which generally states that a cause of action does not arise against a mental health care provider for failing to take precautions to provide protection from a patient's violent behavior, unless the provider knew of the patient's propensity for violence and the patient had indicated an intention to inflict imminent physical injury upon a specified victim or group of victims, and (2) even if it did not have immunity under CJP § 5-609(b), it had no duty to protect DiAndre Barnes from Clark's criminal conduct and that, as a matter of law, Clark's conduct was unforeseeable.
The Circuit Court for Baltimore City granted summary judgment in favor of UMMS on all claims in the survival action and the wrongful death action, and the plaintiff appealed.
Maryland Appellate Court Opinion
In Maryland, a mental health care provider is generally immune from civil liability for failing to provide protection from a patient's violent behavior: "A cause of action . . . may not arise against any mental health care provider or administrator for failing to predict, warn of, or take precautions to provide protection from a patient's violent behavior unless the mental health care provider or administrator knew of the patient's propensity for violence and the patient indicated to the mental health care provider or administrator, by speech, conduct, or writing, of the patient's intention to inflict imminent physical injury upon a specified victim or group of victims." Annotated Code of Maryland, Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article, Section 5-609(b).
The Maryland Appellate Court held: "Under the Barnes family's formulation, the inchoate group of Clark's potential victims could number in the thousands, if not the tens or hundreds of thousands. In our judgment, therefore, Clark did not indicate an intention to inflict "imminent physical injury upon a specified victim or group of victims." CJP § 5-609(b) (emphasis added). For that reason, the circuit court did not err in directing the entry of summary judgment in UMMS's favor."

And for every dollar pledged by employees, the Exelon Foundation donated 50 cents to their local United Way, bringing the total donation to more than $4.6 million.
"It's truly neighbors taking care of neighbors," said Karen Nall, executive director of the Grundy County United Way. "You can feel that giving back is ingrained in the Exelon culture, and employees do that in so many ways – through donations but also by giving their time and talent in the form of labor and volunteerism."
