Ready to buy a new home in East Sussex? Failing to check that a lawyer is on your lender's list of approved solicitors can put your East Sussex home move at risk of delay or failure.
Only LenderPanel.com provides a subset of authorised East Sussex conveyancers for over 130 lenders.
I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years old) in East Sussex. The vast majority the flats have already been occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in East Sussex?
Conveyancing Searches are a critical link in the East Sussex conveyancing process. There are a large number of search providers delivering East Sussex conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are generally termed personal search companies due to them carrying out, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authoritative source.
My flat in East Sussex is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor have to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a East Sussex property lawyer on the RBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Co-operative are being a right pain. The East Sussex solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is happy to accept 'lack of building regulation' insurance but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in East Sussex agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it's not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in East Sussex. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, East Sussex conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in East Sussex.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. East Sussex is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in East Sussex are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside East Sussex you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Sussex may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in East Sussex with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?
Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in East Sussex can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers' representatives.
If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord's approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in East Sussex state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Where you dont have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in advance. The majority of landlords or managing agents in East Sussex charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in East Sussex. Some East Sussex leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank's letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your solicitors. A buyer's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is less than 75 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale.
With only 70 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Resurgence & The Ecologist (p.34-36)
Ellie Harrison tells the story behind her show Bus Regulation: The Musical.
The question of the relationship between art and politics, or between art and activism, is a perennial one. It's something I've long pondered, especially since I became more active in campaigning in 2009. That was the year after I moved to Glasgow. The UK was dealing with the aftermath of global financial meltdown, and it was the run-up to the UN climate summit in Copenhagen (COP15). I was halfway through my Masters in Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art and so had the time to study these events and start to make the connections between the social, economic and environmental crises that were unfolding around us. It was this period of reflection that spurred me to action.
It became clear that reducing greenhouse-gas emissions had to be our utmost priority, but everywhere I looked I saw barriers preventing people from living more sustainable lives. Nowhere was this more apparent than in our public transport network. Since the deregulation of buses and the privatisation of trains in the 1980s and 1990s, services had deteriorated, and fares had skyrocketed way beyond inflation. It was often cheaper to fly or drive than to take the train, which was a disaster for the climate. We urgently needed to reframe how public transport was seen – not as a way of generating private profit for shareholders, but as a key public service integral to our fight to reduce emissions. Why were none of the main political parties making the case for our railways to be brought back into public ownership so that services could be upgraded and fares slashed? I felt compelled to start a movement demanding just that.
And so Bring Back British Rail was born. From my studio in the Barnes Building at Glasgow School of Art I began my fledgling steps as a public transport campaigner. At that time, I saw all this activity as a critique of art. Echoing the sentiment of Polish artist Artur Żmijewski, I felt that art was "too weak to present political demand", and that the urgency of the climate crisis demanded more direct action. And so began my new dual life of artist and activist, splitting my time between the two. Of course my artwork got more political as well, but I always saw it as a counterpoint to my activism, which I felt should be kept quite separate.
This came to a head in 2016 when I devised The Glasgow Effect project, which later became the subject of my book. Couching it as a 'durational performance', I aimed to slash my own carbon footprint for transport to zero by refusing to leave Glasgow's city limits or use any vehicle except my bike for a whole calendar year. It would be a real-life experiment in 'thinking globally and acting locally': an opportunity to focus my attention on the place where I lived, and in doing so to localise my activism.
The project sparked controversy at the time because of the funding it received from Creative Scotland (a £15,000 grant for the year) and the provocative way I'd chosen to frame it (see The Glasgow Effect on page 28). But the framing was deliberate. I wanted others to start to make those same connections between social, economic and environmental injustices in our city and society and falling levels of wellbeing. By putting my own lifestyle under the microscope, I was able to make visible the connections between literal and social mobility; between class and carbon footprint. For it's the wealthiest people who travel the most, cover longer distances and are doing by far the most damage to our environment.
As the year progressed I began to realise that massive inequalities existed even within our public transport network. Railways are predominantly used by wealthier people making longer trips, and receive far more public subsidy per capita, whereas local buses make up three-quarters of all journeys on public transport and are predominantly used by people on low incomes, women, young people, elderly people and people with disabilities. Yet for more than 30 years our buses have been completely overlooked. I needed to refocus my attention – to put less emphasis on 'renationalisation of rail', and more on 'remunicipalisation of buses' as central in shaping more equal, sustainable and connected cities. So I helped to launch a new local public transport campaign, Get Glasgow Moving, demanding that our region's public transport network be brought back into local public ownership and control.
As I made it through the year and out the other side, I found my role starting to evolve. The activism I had always separated out from my creative work became more central. Get Glasgow Moving and the other local projects and campaigns I'd begun work on in 2016 started to take over more and more of my life. I had far less time or inclination to make any art. I also knew that if I did, there would have to be a much greater synthesis with my activism. Whereas the controversy around The Glasgow Effect had angered many working-class people who should have been allies – accusing me of going on a 'poverty safari' – I knew that whatever I did next would have to bring everyone on board.
In autumn 2018 I received an invitation from Manchester Art Gallery. It coincided with learning about the new Better Buses for Greater Manchester campaign, which was getting off the ground to demand that Manchester become the first UK city region to commit to reregulating its bus network. I decided to use the platform offered by the gallery to create awareness for the campaign, so I devised a celebratory piece of agitprop called Bus Regulation: The Musical. Inspired by the 1980s hit musical Starlight Express, which I remember seeing as a small child, my musical would use performers on roller skates to tell the story of public transport policy in Greater Manchester since the 1960s. It was a fun, family-friendly way of visualising this important history in order to make the case for reregulating buses now. The only people who could possibly be annoyed by it were the billionaire bus company bosses (and perhaps Andrew Lloyd Webber!).
Two years on, the campaign had succeeded, with mayor Andy Burnham announcing the historic decision to proceed with reregulation in March 2021. This will deliver the world-class, fully integrated public transport network the region needs to meet climate targets, reduce inequalities and improve everyone's quality of life. It sets a precedent for other cities to follow, and follow they must. The Better Buses for West Yorkshire campaign is making great strides in the Leeds city region, and Liverpool's combined authority has also concluded that reregulation looks like the best option. In the run-up to the local elections in May 2022 I hope to bring the musical home to Glasgow – to synthesise with my work with Get Glasgow Moving – and ensure that our city can also take back our buses!

Jack Marriner'sTesla parked itself silently in his allotted space, outside the Bursary at Fandangle Hall School. As he got out he had that sense that today was going to be no ordinary day.
'Therefore just like every other day in the Bursary' he thought wryly, as he walked inside.
As he entered he could hear the baleful cries of the prisoners down below. I hasten to assure you, Dear Reader, that Jack was a compassionate bursar at heart; and he disliked this side of the business. But there was no doubting that school fee payment had improved markedly since he'd instigated the deterrent policy of jailing any long term debtors. This, and other initiatives necessary to bring things back on an even financial keel after the untimely demise of his predecessor, had earned him a reputation for running a tight ship.
Indeed, his fame in that respect had spread rather further afield than he realised, as he was about to find out. No sooner had he sat down than Softly Softly, his PA, looked in.
'He's most insistent, and – somehow rather persuasive,' replied Softly Softly.
'Alright. I'll be out in a minute.' But even as he spoke his visitor was pushing his way through the door.
'Mr Vader, do come in. How can I help?' said Jack without a trace of disquiet in his voice, as he walked forward to shake the hand of the tall, dark figure framed by the doorway.
'I am LordVader, actually.' The handshake was declined. Jack noticed that his visitor's features were obscured by a rather forbidding black mask, like something out of a film set. And he spoke with a strange, rasping, almost metallic tone.
'Spare me the pleasantries. I hear you run a tight ship and so I am here to find some answers.' He had a way of emphasising certain words that made him come across as slightly menacing, if a little high-handed for a first meeting.
'We try,' replied Jack, wondering where this was going and surreptitiously activating the pocket transmitter that silently alerted his Estate Manager, Sam Wisely, that there might be trouble brewing and he should make his way back to the Bursary just in case. Sam was ex Special Forces and a Grand Master in several martial arts.
At this point, Dear Reader, I must step in and bring you up to date with developments at Fandangle Hall School; for it is indeed the case that Jack had achieved great things on the energy front. Infinite energy is another thing altogether, but he had embraced wholeheartedly the opportunities offered by UK Government policy on renewable energy systems over the past two years. And even now, in late 2017, he continued to look for ways to capitalise on the opportunities – for they were still aplenty, contrary to perceived media wisdom.
The secret of his success was that he'd realised from the outset that renewables were not just about saving the planet, but they were also a means to make a longer term profit for the school. The trick was to identify which parts of the estate, no matter how small, could be configured to unlock the most favourable subsidy rates for a given technology, rather than thinking about the estate purely in terms of energy needs. He had tested every part of the estate against the full gamut of viable technologies and now had a range of nice little earners, as well as two major district systems. One by one they would turn profitable, such that by 2021 energy usage on the estate would have become profit-making. It was an extraordinary achievement.
'It's all very well,' I hear you say. 'But when teachers are beating a path to your door demanding you fix this-that-and-the-other by tea-time; and when the Government seems constantly to be moving the goalposts, it's easy to lose one's resolve.' I agree. But of course, he had not done this alone. He had realised at an early stage that his list of important things to do would never be less than a hundred. So he'd invested some time in finding reliable help – within his staff and externally. However, the key thing is that it was hisbrainchild; and surely that, Dear Reader, is the acme of skill – to get the work done.
'So your government will give you money for all the renewableenergy you use for the next 20 years?' asked Vader.
At that moment they were interrupted as Sam Wisely entered.
'Bad news, Boss'. (He still hadn't dropped the special forces vernacular).
A Jedi is no match for a Bursar.
Renewables are a fantastic, much overlooked investment vehicle.
The UK Government is still guaranteeing allocated subsidies for 20 years from the date of commissioning. Don't believe what the jungle drums tell you.
Mind where you park your space-ship.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed reading the article.


Leaky pipes can wreak havoc on your home and belongings. Even just a tiny leak can provide enough moisture to rot studs and floor joists, and larger leaks can obviously cause flooding and all sorts of damage. Sometimes there are easy fixes to plumbing leaks and sometimes they are more involved, but regardless, they need to be fixed as soon as possible.
The visual signs of a leak will depend on where it is. Some of the easiest leaks to spot are in the ceiling, because water will drip down onto the drywall and discolor the ceiling, or after enough water has gathered, a bulge will form. Hopefully you'll see this before the buildup softens the ceiling enough to collapse.
If the pipe is in a wall, you'll likely notice softening, discoloration or bubbling of the drywall at the base of the wall. In some instances, you'll notice dampness or mold on the carpet.
Either sort of leak can be hidden by harder surfaces that won't show these signs as quickly, like wainscoting on a wall, so you may have to be more proactive about inspecting your pipes.
If you have a crawl space or unfinished basement, leaks will be easy to notice because the pipes are exposed, assuming you go into those spaces. Fortunately, leaks in these places typically cause less damage to your home, but they still create problems.
Once you've found the pipe you think is leaking, keep moving up to find where the leak is actually coming from. Water will run downhill, so find the highest spot on the pipe that is wet and you've likely found your leak.
On pipe running horizontally, due to water's surface tension, the water may be flowing down the pipe for a considerable distance before actually dripping. Just follow the water back to where the pipe becomes dry and look for the leak in the pipe. It isn't totally uncommon to find water dripping from an electrical wire or some other feature, other than a pipe. This takes a little bit of work, but you should always follow the water back to the start. Unfortunately, this can lead to tearing out a lot more of your ceiling.
It is possible that the dripping water is from sweating pipes and not a leak. The moisture comes from the cold water cooling the pipe and moisture in the warmer air around it condensing on the surface, like water condensing on a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day.
This is an easy fix. You'll only need a towel and insulating tape, which you should be able to find at a hardware store. Dry the pipe with a towel and wrap the length of the pipe with the insulating tape.
Before you do any work, turn the water off. You're problems will undoubtedly became far worse if you somehow neglect to turn off the water before you loosen fittings or cut into a pipe.
Hopefully, you already know where your main water shut-off valve is. That information will be very valuable if you ever have a pipe burst. If you don't know where the valve is, it is usually where the main water line enters the house, which is easy to spot because the water meter tends to be there. The valve is just inside and should be accessible, either in the basement, crawl space, under a sink or some other semi-hidden location.
Most water valves will turn clockwise to shutoff. If the handle won't turn, call a plumber who can fix or replace the valve, and also take care of the leak.
The first attempt to fix a leaking joint is to try and tighten any threaded fittings. If this doesn't work, you can temporarily fix the problem with epoxy putty or waterproof tape, but the joint will need to be replaced to avoid a future failure. Copper pipes require soldering at the joints, and unless you are familiar with the process, it is best to leave it to a professional.
With threaded pipes the problem that you will face is that turning the fitting or the pipe will tighten one end and loosen the other, which makes it easy to install new plumbing but makes it very problematic to replace in an existing system. Again, your best bet is calling a plumber who will have the tools and knowledge to handle these situations.
If the leak is small, a patch can stop the leak. One option for this includes a piece of thick rubber held tightly in place with hose clamps. Another option is using epoxy putty. Although some epoxies claim to work in wet conditions, it is best to completely dry the pipe before using the putty and letting it cure.
If you don't want to take a chance with a patch, replacing that section of pipe is usually best left to a professional plumber.
Quickly and properly fixing plumbing leaks will save you a lot of money and stress. Being able to spot and patch a leaking pipe is a good way to minimize the damage, but in most instances a plumber will need to make a permanent fix to bring you peace of mind.

Congrats Man City. Utd should never have let it come down to the derby match. Blew an 8 point lead. Don't see City choking now.
What a climax to the season. Sensational stuff.
No one will now talk of course about Tevez diving to get QPR that red card.
City were the best team in this season but what else do you expect with a bottomless budget.
Congratulations City, after 44 agonizing years! The two goals in extra time, stuff of legends and will be spoken for years to come. Truly deserve it. Savour it!!
LOL, don't wanna be savage here but I just couldn't help laughing at the reaction of the Utd players/coaches/supporters after the City goal news had broken on.
That was some match. Such comebacks deserve nothing short of the championship and I'm happy for City and their fans.
Tottenham sacked Redknaap.. What a joke! Now lets see if they can finish in the top 10 as modric and some more key player will leave..
^ And Bale, according to his agent.
I really dont know what they are thinking actually.. This guy has done wonders with this team... He turned bale,modric into Wc player And you let him go just because he wanted to be England manager?? Out of his three full season they finished fourth twice.. What you want more with this team and resource??
They were right to let him go...Redknapp is a media wh0re. He openly flirted with England(which is his right), but refused to resign the Tottenham post because it would mean he wouldn't get a payout from Tottenham.
Look at every other club he has been at...and he left them in a shambles, Tottenham need a long term plan, someone who will work out a philosophy and give them a sense of stability. Redknapp is all about buying the most expensive players the club can afford...getting decent results, but then leaving behind no positive legacy.
so they are a Europa Cup team in the short team(they need a stadium to up revenues), and understanding that, they have to change tack...Redknapp is not the man for that job.


Dartford FC are pleased to announce the signing of Andre Coker from Maidstone United.

Baking and breaking bread with Mom
If you can't pamper your mother with breakfast in bed, make the morning meal with her and start a new ritual.
By Teresa Méndez Special to The Christian Science Monitor
When I was younger, I would come home from school every Mother's Day with some little art or craft - the ubiquitous handmade gift. And like most good mothers, mine still has remnants of these presents tucked away - there may even be one or two out on display. Happily hidden, for example, is the disfigured gray "jewelry box" that I carefully sculpted out of clay one year and bejeweled with maroon and green ceramic tiles.
"Sometimes it was indecipherable what they were," my mom said the other day, as we reminisced about her collection of Mother's Day creations. "But I always liked them anyway."
More recognizable, although probably just as messy, was our special Mother's Day breakfast. Because I was too small to be left alone in the kitchen, it was more of a collaborative effort than a feast to be enjoyed in bed.
As I got older, we continued our tradition of cooking together the second Sunday in May.
My mother and I have always shared a sweet tooth. And even though neither of us is terribly sophisticated in the kitchen, together we would cook what we called a popover, although it more closely resembled a settled soufflé. Baked in a skillet, we generously sprinkled our "popovers" with powdered sugar and lemon juice. Sometimes we'd chase breakfast with homemade fudge or brownies.
My college friend Julia Boorstin and her mother, Sharon, a food writer, also made a tradition of cooking together on Mother's Day - most likely with more aplomb than my mom and I could muster. Their annual ritual would begin with a search for ingredients at the local farmer's market in Beverly Hills, Calif. There, they would scour the stalls for fresh strawberries, just coming into season, and prepare their version of a spring sundae made with meringues covered in ice cream and topped with sugared strawberries.
"Meringues are fun because you create something out of nothing," explains Julia, marveling at the "mysterious process" by which egg whites and a little sugar are turned into a confection.
Seasoned "foodies," the sprightly pair wouldn't shy away from preparing - or eating - any recipe. Many of their favorites, from the simple to the gourmet, are in "Let Us Eat Cake: Adventures in Food and Friendship," (Regan Books, 336 pp., $13.95), Sharon's culinary memoir, in which Julia is prominently featured.
They are intuitive cooks. Sharon taught Julia to be flexible in the kitchen - to avoid becoming "so wrapped up in the letter of the recipe that you're not willing to experiment a little bit."
But whether you cook alongside Mom, with the help of another adult, or solo, the tradition of preparing a special Mother's Day breakfast good enough to linger over at home is worth starting.
You needn't labor over eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and caviar. Keep it simple. Why not try a basket brimming with homemade breakfast breads such as coffeecake, scones, or muffins?
For inspiration, take a look at Cheryl and Bill Jamison's latest cookbook: "A Real American Breakfast" (William Morrow, 454 pp., $34.95). The award-winning duo includes a chapter called "The Breadbasket," with recipes for an array of muffins, scones, biscuits, and savory popovers. Several enticing riffs on coffeecake fill the following chapter.
The Jamisons lament the loss of breakfast, a casualty of too little time - or at least the collective perception of there being too little time. Their book sets out to debunk this myth.
"A lot of Americans have forgotten that they can even boil water to make coffee," says Mr. Jamison.
"We really just wanted to give people a sense of what breakfast used to be and what it could be again," adds Mrs. Jamison. "We can slow down occasionally and really have a celebratory breakfast with friends or family."
What better occasion than Mother's Day?
Ginger Cream Scones
2-1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
12 tablespoons (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, well chilled and cut into small bits
3/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream, well chilled, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons for brushing
1/2 cup chopped candied crystallized ginger
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a cookie sheet.
In a food processor, whir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and ground ginger. Scatter the butter over the dry ingredients and pulse the mixture just until it resembles coarse meal. Pour in the cream and pulse the mixture just until combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and scatter the crystallized ginger over it. Gently pat out the dough and fold it back over itself about a half-dozen times, until smooth. (A dough scraper helps with this.) Use a light hand and don't overmix. Divide the dough in half and pat it out again into two 3/4-inch-thick disks. Cut each disk into 6 plump pie-shaped wedges.
Transfer the scones to the prepared cookie sheet and brush with cream. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until light brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 12 scones.
Croquignoles
This tasty fried-bread specialty is the French cousin of Cajun-style beignets.
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled briefly
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Vegetable shortening or vegetable oil for deep-frying
Stir the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. In a second large bowl, whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves and the eggs are frothy and a light lemon yellow. Add the butter, milk, and vanilla and continue to whisk for a full minute. Switch to a sturdy spoon and mix in the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time. The dough will be somewhat stiff.
Flour a work surface lightly, then pat out the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle and let it rest for 15 minutes. Roll the dough out into a large 1/8-inch-thick square, then trim off any ragged edges. Using a pastry cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into diamond (or triangle) shapes.
Fill a large, deep skillet or saucepan with oil several inches deep, bringing it to 375 degrees F. Transfer several dough diamonds to the oil. After sinking briefly, the breads will rise to the surface. Fry them for about 1 minute, until puffed, crisp, and golden brown on both sides. Remove with tongs and drain.

Traditional English Food AND Butterbeer

The only thing better than having a magical adventure at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is sampling the delicious fares that Harry Potter and his friends themselves feasted on in the books. And if the traditional English dishes served at Three Broomsticks and Hog's Head are as good as their Universal Orlando counterparts, then families visiting Universal Hollywood are in for a delicious treat. English breakfast, lunch and dinner items like Bangers & Mash, Shepherd's Pie and Fish & Chips are on the menu at Three Broomsticks, as is the addictive Butterbeer, based on the popular drink in the series, that come cold or frozen. We love the frozen version. Meanwhile, Hog's Head serve WWoHP alcoholic drinks for moms and dad; Wizard's Brew, Hog's Head Brew and Fire Whisky, to name a few.

While not for the little ones, big kids and adults no doubt love one of Halloween Horror Night's most popular mazes, an attraction that Lauren Cohen (Maggie) herself approves of. Everybody enjoys a good scare, right? The great news is Universal Studios Hollywood is turning the thrilling "The Walking Dead" maze into one of its permanent attractions at the park, expected to open in the summer. The chilling maze will feature more than state-of-the-art special effects and realistic animatronic zombies; although those are also in the mix. The walk-through attraction will also boast some live walkers as well as props and areas replicated from the AMC hit show, a feature that big fans of the series will really appreciate and find immersive. This one's for families with big kids, tweens and teens; but beware, the maze has never been for the faint-hearted.

Chef Ludo Lefebvre's popular LudoTruck may have permanently retired its engine a few years ago, but it doesn't mean the end of the world renowned chef's fried chicken specialty. On March 26, LudoBird will officially open its doors to Universal Hollywood visitors at the CityWalk, a fantastic news for fried chicken lovers everywhere (and who isn't?!) The second LudoBird location, the first one being at Staples Center, will boast a menu of delicious fried chicken creations like fried chicken sandwich and chicken strips, side dishes like the honey-drenched lavender biscuit and, of course, signature sauces.

Illinois bill, on the other hand, only addresses youth football; it does not restrain any other contact sports. Each bill also differs in the age groups that it restricts from playing tackle football, ranging from 11 years old to "high school" student. Finally, only the New York bill identifies what the consequence for violating the ban would be—a $2,000.00 fine on the youth sports league or organization for each child playing in violation of the ban. The other three statutes—Illinois, Maryland, California—do not state what the consequence of non-compliance would be for youth sports organizations in those states.
The Safe Youth Football Act was announced by two members of the California State Assembly in early February of 2018, to date, however, the bill has yet to be introduced and thus this Legislative Update is unable analyze the text of the bill. The proposed California legislation would ban all tackle football before children have entered high school. High contact elements of football programs would only be allowed in high school football. The announcement of this bill was supported with extensive research highlighting the high risk of long-term neurological consequences that young children exposed to tackle football face.
The Maryland legislation may be the most expansive of the four bills introduced thus far.
The bill also takes substantial measures to increase support for youth suffering concussions.

Alimentària will be held in Barcelona from 31st March till 4th April. The Governing Board will be there to represent the cellars that form the D.O. Ribeiro.
Over the last few months, International Team Consulting first identified all those distributors of Spanish wines, both domestic and from overseas, who would be exhibiting at or visiting the Fair. We then contacted them one by one to inform them of the work carried out by the Board, the participating cellars, and then scheduled visits to wine tastings at the stand.
We have had a very positive response from a large number of firms, many of whom have indicated that they would be visiting the D.O.'s stand to learn more about the Galician wines, their quality and grapes varieties.
Alimentària is the meeting point in Barcelona for Spanish, Catalan and international companies involved in the Food & Beverage Industries all of whom looking to open up new markets and explore opportunities for new business.
International Team Consulting will ensure that your presence at a Fair will be a success. In addition to the purely administrative tasks of exhibiting, we will carry out all the work involved in the preparation including finding those clients of potential interest and ensuring that they effectively visit your stand, oversee promotional material and its use, and guarantee an effective post-fair follow-up.

For Matthew T. Lambert '99 and Karen Silverberg Lambert '98, William & Mary has always been about family. From the faculty and administrators that took a personal interest in their lives, the students they supported as RAs, to the friends they made along the way and through involvement in various activities, the College has always been a welcoming community for the couple.
Now back in Williamsburg with Matthew serving as the vice president for university development at William & Mary, the Lamberts are happy to know that the core values of the College and the town have not changed.
In college, Matthew was a guitarist in a band and also spent time working as a member of the Campus Police Student Patrol, which provided the opportunity to care for the campus in unique ways. Matthew was also very involved with residence life and student government at William & Mary. He got an early taste of advancement work as a member of the Student Alumni Liaison Council, run by the Alumni Association, and the Student Advancement Association, run by the University Development Office.
Karen also participated in residence life and student government and was passionate about the Alan Bukzin Memorial Bone Marrow Drive, a beloved College tradition and campus-wide effort. She was an RA on the same staff as Matthew's brother, so she knew him before meeting Matthew. Going through pictures recently, the two discovered that they had actually been in the same place at the same time on several occasions, but they did not officially meet until Fourth of July weekend in 1997 at a William & Mary party in Washington, D.C.
The two started dating in 2000 and were married in 2004 in the Wren Chapel.
After graduation, Karen worked for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital doing fundraising, marketing and corporate partnerships. Matthew got into grad school, but deferred for a year to take a job that he jokes has been the pinnacle of his career.
Afterwards Matthew went to Ohio State for his master's degree and worked at the business school in development. It was there he realized he loved the combination of higher education and working with students and alumni.
Karen went on to work for the American Red Cross and then Georgetown University, doing research in child development, early education, and maternal health. After finishing up his master's, Matthew joined the ranks at Georgetown, working his way up to associate vice president of university development, while also completing his doctorate in education from the University of Pennsylvania.
It turned out to be the right decision for the Lamberts. "We both loved this place," said Matthew. "There's a strong feeling of community at William & Mary and more broadly, in the town of Williamsburg. I've now attended and worked at four different universities so you get the chance to see the similarities and differences between them. It's truly unique to W&M.
"There is this sense of heart, mind and spirit that is special to the College," agreed Karen.
With Colonial Williamsburg, the Sunken Garden and Zable Stadium acting as playgrounds, Matthew and Karen have found the area to be the perfect place to raise their two boys, William, 5, and Harrison, 3.
Matthew recently completed a book on privatization in public higher education, interviewing 150 governors, legislators and members of Congress to get "the other side of the story. We in higher education tell the story of our problems, but I wanted to capture and better understand the other side and see how those in power to make decisions feel about the direction of higher education." The book will be published this fall by Harvard Education Press. He will also begin teaching again this fall.

Dreadful Pass By Renato Sanches Draws Great Reaction From His Despondent Coach
Travis Yoesting November 30, 2017
Remember when Renato Sanches was supposed to be good?
A little over a year ago, Renato Sanches was one of the hottest young commodities in European football. In 2016 he won the Portuguese Primeira Liga with Benfica and helped Portugal win the European Championship. On Wednesday, a Renato Sanches pass was so bad it nearly brought his coach to tears.
Sanches is a versatile midfielder capable of scoring and making incisive passes, not to mention the toughness to halt attacks with strong defense. None of those qualities were on display at Stamford Bridge in Swansea's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.
Half an hour into the match, Sanches found himself on the ball with no immediate pressure on him. He looked around and picked out a spot-on pass — right to a Carabao logo on the sideline advertising boards.
That Renato Sanches pass just about sums up his career for the last year. Coach Paul Clement's reaction is priceless; he took Sanches off at halftime after another abject performance.

After his successful 2015-16 campaign with club and country, including being named Young Player of the Tournament at the 2016 Euros, Bayern Munich bought Sanches for $42.25 million. The Portuguese midfielder looked like the next big thing.
As good as Renato Sanches was an the 2016 Euros, he's been horrible since. Photo: @Buitenkant_Voet | Twitter
Sanches never really broke into the German champions' side and he was loaned out to Swansea for a season. He hasn't exactly lit the Premier League on fire, including a miserable debut. He's now made seven league starts without providing a goal or an assist, having been subbed off four times. Sanches' only contribution to a goal came from an assist in an EFL Cup match against Reading.
It's been more than a year since the Swansea man last proved useful to any club. After the Renato Sanches pass on Wednesday, he may find his opportunities dwindling. He's still young at 20, but even a 4-year-old can hit a better pass than that.

I used the Greek method I blogged a while back, which is really just marinating the fish in lemon juice and olive oil for about an hour, while mixing a can of tomatoes with fresh garlic and lemon juice. Put the tomato mixture on the fish, top with lots of breadcrumbs and bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes, or until fish flakes.
I served the fish with a hash mixture of cabbage, onion, potatoes and bacon. As an appetizer I wrapped some canteloupe pieces in prosciutto.
It turned out rather well. I'm always intimidated by cooking for my parents, because they are both such good cooks- but everyone cleaned his/her plate, so it must have been acceptable.

Francisco José de Jaca (1645-1690) est un religieux aragonais de l'ordre des Capucins qui s'insurgea contre l'esclavage des Noirs pratiqué en Amérique. Lui et son compagnon Épiphane de Moirans, sont considérés comme les premiers abolitionnistes.

Biographie
Francisco José est né à Jaca en Aragon (Espagne) en l'an 1645. En 1665, il entre dans l'ordre des Capucins dans le couvent de la même province Tarazona et est ordonné prêtre vers 1672.

En 1677, il est envoyé à la mission des Llanos de Caracas au Venezuela puis en 1681 à la mission de Darien en Colombie. L'ordre ayant été annulé, il séjourne à Carthagène dans l'attente d'un bateau pour La Havane. Carthagène est alors un centre important de la traite négrière et un mouvement de défense des Noirs s'y est développé autour du « ministère des Noirs » conduit par les jésuites, ministère illustré par l'œuvre d'Alonso de Sandoval (mort en 1652) : De instauranda aethiopum salute sur les Noirs et l'esclavage et l'action de Pierre Claver (mort en 1654), « l'esclave des esclaves ».

De retour à La Havane, le capucin aragonais écrit son mémoire : Resolución sobre la libertad de los negros y sus originarios, en estado de paganos y después ya cristianos. Il est accusé de semer le trouble par ses prêches incendiaires où il ordonne aux maîtres la libération des esclaves, car « posséder des esclaves est contraire au droit ». À la suite de ses démêlés avec les autorités civiles, il se retire dans l'ermitage de San Cristo hors de la ville. Il y est rejoint un capucin franc-comtois, Épiphane de Moirans, qui milite aussi contre l'esclavage. Tous deux déclarent cette institution illégitime et refusent l'absolution aux maîtres qui ne s'engagent pas à libérer leurs esclaves.

Arrêtés, ils sont expédiés en Espagne et arrivent à Cadix le . Commence alors un procès devant le Conseil des Indes, puis le Conseil d'État. Relégués, Épiphane à Séville, José à Valladolid, tous deux demandent à se rendre à Rome pour plaider la liberté des Noirs. Parvenue devant le Saint-Office, l'affaire n'a pas de suite. Les deux religieux sont libérés en mai 1685, et Francisco envoyé au Venezuela où il meurt en 1690, âgé seulement de quarante-cinq ans.

Category theory was invented in the 1940s to unify and synthesize different areas in mathematics, and it has proven remarkably successful in enabling powerful communication between disparate fields and subfields within mathematics.
This book shows that category theory can be useful outside of mathematics as a rigorous, flexible, and coherent modeling language throughout the sciences. Information is inherently dynamic; the same ideas can be organized and reorganized in countless ways, and the ability to translate between such organizational structures is becoming increasingly important in the sciences. Category theory offers a unifying framework for information modeling that can facilitate the translation of knowledge between disciplines. Written in an engaging and straightforward style, and assuming little background in mathematics, the book is rigorous but accessible to non-mathematicians.
Using databases as an entry to category theory, it begins with sets and functions, then introduces the reader to notions that are fundamental in mathematics: monoids, groups, orders, and graphs -- categories in disguise. After explaining the "big three" concepts of category theory -- categories, functors, and natural transformations -- the book covers other topics, including limits, colimits, functor categories, sheaves, monads, and operads. The book explains category theory by examples and exercises rather than focusing on theorems and proofs. It includes more than 300 exercises, with solutions.
David I. Spivak is a research scientist in the mathematics department at MIT. His current research is on Categorical Informatics, i.e. using category theory to study information as it is used in the world. Previous research subjects include Derived Manifolds, Infinity categories (a.k.a. quasi-categories), and Physics.
