Nonesuch: Lianne La Havas
Lianne La Havas shares the story behind her new, self-titled album
Lianne La Havas's new, self-titled album was just released to critical acclaim on Nonesuch Records in the US. Here, she talks with writer Sophie Harris about her third album, which spans the arc of a relationship and reflects musical references as varied as Milton Nascimento, Joni Mitchell, Jaco Pastorious, Al Green, and Destiny's Child. Find out why she tells Harris: "I dare say that this is the closest I've gotten to a pure expression so far."
"Bittersweet summer rain, I'm born again," sings Lianne La Havas, on the opening track of her third album, Lianne La Havas—an exquisite, rich, and tender expression of love, loss, and rebirth that marks a new era for the British artist.
"This is my first completely self-produced album with my own band," says La Havas, rightly satisfied to have been at the heart of the recording process. "I got my own way with everything—all the decisions that you hear on this album were mine. So when I realized that it was actually going to come out, I had a different kind of feeling than with the others—because it is more exposed, more intimate," she says, starting to laugh. "But I didn't know until I began preparing to release it how nervous I actually am!"
Those who have been awaiting the follow-up to the singer's lauded second album, Blood, will have been clock-watching for some time, now—five years, to be exact. But not a moment has been wasted in the album's gestation. You'll hear this for yourself, of course, but you can also take La Havas's word for it. "I dare say that this is the closest I've gotten to a pure expression so far. If you'd never heard me before, I'd be happy to say, 'This is me. This is who I am.'"
It's been quite a journey. In one sense, geographically: La Havas spent a lot of time moving back and forth between the UK and the States working on writing and exploring her own identity. As a teen, she had found growing up in London challenging. "It seems so simple to say to someone, 'Oh, just be yourself,'" she says. "But you spend your whole life discovering what that is." From the first time she visited LA, though, she felt relaxed—relieved of history and expectation.
It felt like a place to flourish. Partly thanks to the city's creative industry and a kind of buzzing-bee work ethic: "It's a different mindset—everyone is ready to go to the studio, all the time!" And, on a deep level, culturally. "Black culture in the US is beautiful in its own way. There's pride about it, and it's beautiful. Being accepted and encouraged for being different is an amazing feeling, because I didn't accept myself for a really long time—and I feel America helped me to do that."
Accordingly, Lianne La Havas feels spacious and luminous. Its sunbaked sounds recall, in places, the Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Milton Nascimento (on "Seven Times"). You might also hear the curveball chords of Joni Mitchell and Jaco Pastorious's jazz explorations ("Green Papaya"), or the puttering drums and inviting warmth of golden-era Al Green ("Read My Mind"). And throughout the record, there's a sense of empowerment that has its roots in the crisp '90s R&B of Destiny's Child.
When La Havas released her debut album, 2012's  Is Your Love Big Enough?, she was uneasy about her music, based on the color of her skin, being described as soul. She deftly defines her own relationship with what soul means, now: "I've always said that I think any genre can be soulful, as long as you're telling the truth in your music," she says. "With soul, what I'm talking about is a genuine response to a genuine feeling."
What, then, is the truth of Lianne La Havas? Overtly, its ten songs span the arc of a love relationship. The album's opener, "Bittersweet," functions as a kind of an overture, setting out what follows, before the giddy, love-struck rush of "Read My Mind." "I've only had that feeling a couple of times in my life," says La Havas, "but I've never found a moment, musically, to talk about it before. If I could put the feeling of love into some chords, it would be these ones—sonically, to me, it just feels like ecstasy." It is unabashedly sensual in what La Havas describes as "that uncontrollable need for contact". Like the album as a whole, the emphasis is not on playing it cool—rather, that "there's a coolness in being honest about your feelings."
In the most natural, unguarded way, this is a sexy album. "I'd like to think so," says La Havas. "I'm a woman now, so I'm less shy and timid about saying certain things. And there's no right or wrong when it's your record, so I was very much embracing that fact, as well."
If these first few songs suggest a flower opening its petals, that's no coincidence: "What plays a big role in the album is the idea of the life cycle of plants and nature—equating this journey with a seasonal thing that blooms, thrives, goes away, and comes back even stronger," La Havas says. Over the five years it took for the album to come together, she found herself watching the changing foliage outside her window in south London, struck by how she was growing and changing herself—not always comfortably. "A flower has to dry up and die in order to be reborn," she says. "You have to get to the rock bottom to rebuild yourself."
Getting started on the album was not easy. "I was trying my hardest to actually write something, because for a long time, I lost my confidence," says La Havas. She remembers arriving at the studio feeling blank, like she was no good at the guitar, and couldn't write or hear melodies. Consequently, whenever she did get a song, or even a fragment that she was excited by, she'd hold onto it. "Some of the pieces that you hear on the album have been around for five years, but I hadn't had the courage to finish them," she says.
Among other things, La Havas was exhausted from non-stop touring. This was also a time of deep loss in the singer's life. When she was twenty-five, her grandmother had died, and then at twenty-six, she lost her great-grandmother. Her creative mentor Prince died in that same year, 2016. "You do change, and you never go back," she says. "My life changed a lot, and I definitely gained a different kind of maturity after that."
A turning point arrived when La Havas played a gig at London's EartH venue, and she was struck by her fans' appreciation. "I thought, 'Well, they wouldn't be there if I was no good,'" she says, "'I think they see something in me that maybe I should see in myself a bit more.'" Most notably, she had missed the joy of singing, after winding up a huge tour, and the show restored her confidence and reconnected her to her voice. "The fact is, I love singing," she says, with a laugh, "and I would do it even if there was no one there."
The recording process began in earnest by accident; returning from a glorious, sunny Glastonbury festival performance in June 2019, La Havas and her core band decided to see if they could nail their lithe live version of Radiohead's "Weird Fishes" in the studio. "I had the most wonderful, nourishing experience recording that," she says, "And that's where I decided: the rest of the album needs to be like this. It's got to be my band, and I've got to do it in London, whenever people have time." By October, she had all ten songs, and by December, everything was recorded—mainly in London, and also in Bath and New York. In keeping with the album's intimate feel, everyone who contributed to the record is a trusted collaborator, including long-term songwriting ally Matt Hales, co-producer Beni Giles, and guest co-producer Mura Masa.
The confidence that La Havas has cultivated, both personally and creatively, is audible in the fact that Lianne La Havas is a record that feels utterly real—a living, breathing thing. It hasn't been polished to a squeak in favor of a "clean" recording; La Havas followed her gut on this album, going with what feels good. For a sense of just how good, listen to La Havas's deliciously husky vocal on the song "Paper Thin," a track that melds the sweetness of love with the exhaustion of fighting for it. It is completely authentic, born of real experience and true expression.
Beauty never really goes by the book, and Lianne La Havas is a breathtaking example of this. Now thirty years old, she is excited about playing these powerful songs live. "The best part is that I own them, and really believe in them," she says. "And, you know, it's me. So I can't be afraid of doing what I do, and being who I am."

We are contacting you with important information about testing the drinking water at your family or group child care home to ensure that it is safe from harmful chemicals. If your child care's drinking water comes from your own private well, please continue reading to learn more about well testing.
If your child care is served by public drinking water, this letter does not apply to you because the safety of your water is regulated by the Department of Public Health's Drinking Water Section. How do you know if you have public water? If you (or the property owner or landlord) pay a water utility bill, you have public water. You also have public water if your child care has a well that is used daily by 25 or more people.
If your child care's drinking water comes from a private well, you should be aware of the water tests that are recommended to ensure that your water is safe from all the harmful chemicals that could be present. The enclosed Publication #24 provides a list of recommended tests for all private wells.
As you probably know, state regulations for child care facilities require basic testing of well water. Most likely, you would have tested your well water at the time you first applied for a child care license. Your water test was probably limited to taste and odor issues (such as iron, turbidity, pH, manganese, sodium, chloride), and sanitary issues (such as bacteria and nitrates/nitrites). If you are a group child care home, you are also required to test your water for lead every two years.
You should know that the basic water testing required by the child care licensing regulations does NOT cover all the harmful contaminants that could be present in your well water. Additionally, it is important to understand that water quality can change over time. The water test results from the sampling you did when you were first licensed may be different today.
Please read the enclosed publication about well testing. Table 1 in Publication # 24 lists water tests that are recommended for everyone with a private well. If you have never done the recommended tests, we strongly urge you to contact a state certified laboratory and arrange for testing. A list of state certified laboratories is enclosed.
Young children are especially sensitive to harmful health effects from contaminants in drinking water. This is because their bodies are rapidly growing and developing and because they drink more water relative to their body weight than adults.
The well water tests listed in Publication #24 are not required by regulation. However, they are very important, particularly if your water is consumed by young children at your child care facility. Testing is the only way to be sure your water is safe from all harmful chemicals.
We strongly encourage you to call our staff at the Department of Public Health who can answer your questions about well water testing, testing results, or water treatment. Please contact the Private Well Program at 860-509-7296 or visit their website at www.ct.gov/dph/privatewells to find more information about private wells.

Exploring critical social issues in hockey
"Don't Play With the Dictator": Politics and the 2014 World Hockey Championships in Belarus
markdavidnorman / October 14, 2013
Image from: http://www.belarus.by/relimages/001089_565901.jpg
Sporting mega-events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games, despite claims by their organizers and boosters about the political neutrality of sport, are deeply enmeshed in political structures. In recent months, a number of these high profile events have drawn the ire of political activists, citizens, and some media precisely because of their political implications. Consider the following examples:
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia have become a flashpoint for protest due to the country's draconian anti-gay laws and the Russian state's laissez-faire attitude toward documented violence directed toward gay individuals. This has sparked calls for a boycott of the Games and, given the significance of hockey in Russia and the Winter Olympic program, has led many hockey bloggers, media, and personalities (Brian Burke, Victor Hedman, Henrik Zetterberg, and more) to speak out against the laws.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets to protest the government's high spending on the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics, whose economic impact is to the benefit of Brazilian elites at the same time as ordinary citizens face cuts to social services such as health and education.
The 2022 World Cup, to be held in Qatar, has been thrown into controversy after an investigation by The Guardian revealed widespread labour exploitation and abuse of immigrant workers, largely from Nepal.
Each of these examples highlights some of the ways that sport is enmeshed in, and can contribute to, unequal power relations between individuals and groups in various societies around the world. Thankfully, sport mega-events are increasingly coming under public scrutiny and are having their politics examined in the press. However, there are many other examples of sport contributing to social injustice that are happening on a smaller scale. One such event, which has gained relatively little media attention (especially in North America), is the upcoming 2014 Men's World Hockey Championships in Belarus.
The 2014 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Men's World Ice Hockey Championships (commonly known as the World Hockey Championships) was awarded to Belarus in 2009. In many ways, the choice makes a great deal of sense: Belarus, a former republic of the Soviet Union, has never hosted a major international hockey tournament since gaining its independence in 1991; the country has enjoyed modest success in international men's hockey and the sport enjoys a passionate following amongst Belarusians; and the country's President, Alexander Lukashenko, is a massive hockey fan who has spearheaded arena construction across the country. However, there is a dark side to Belarus' hosting of the World Championships – and, quietly, talk of moving the tournament to another country.
The controversy over Belarus' hosting of the championships stems from the repressive rule of Lukashenko's – who, under shady circumstances, has remained President of Belarus since 1994. Lukashenko's regime has been marked by questionable elections, violent repression of opposition politicians, and other worrying authoritarian trends. Many media outlets, such as The Guardian, refer to Luksashenko's Belarus as "Europe's last dictatorship." Human Rights Watch summarizes the situation in Belarus as such:
The Belarusian government continues to severely curtail freedoms of association, assembly, and expression, and the right to fair trial. September 2012 parliamentary elections preserved the status quo, with a victory for parties allied with President Lukashenko. The opposition won no seats. New restrictive legislative amendments have paved the way for even more intense government scrutiny of civil society organizations and activists. Government harassment of human rights defenders, independent media, and defense lawyers continues, including through arbitrary bans on foreign travel. Belarus detains a number of political prisoners. Allegations of torture and mistreatment in custody persist.
Lukashenko is, seemingly, genuinely a huge fan of hockey. However, he has also clearly tried to use the sport to bolster his image in Belarus and abroad. There are numerous examples of Lukashenko blurring the line between his hockey fandom and his attempts to cultivate a positive PR image. For example, in 2004, then-Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin celebrated his day with the Stanley Cup in Minsk – an event at which Lukashenko was conspicuous. As described, in fairly breathless tones, by the Hockey Hall of Fame:
When the plane touched down at the Minsk Airport, a throng of better than fifty media members awaited the Stanley Cup's first ever moments in Belarus. . . . Khabibulin held a press conference at the airport, welcoming the Stanley Cup, then took the trophy to Junost, an arena in Minsk. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko donned hockey equipment and took to the ice along with members of the national team abetted by Nikolai Khabibulin in goal to face off against Junost Minsk. Teammates continually fed the president passes on the tape of his stick until at long last, he beat the netminder for Junost Minsk.
Lukashenko has made many other public appearances or statements relating to hockey. He takes an active interest in the dealings of Belarus' only Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) team, Dinamo Minsk, opining in a 2013 interview about whether the team should remain in the KHL or join another league. In 2001, the President participated in a friendly – and well publicized – hockey match in Moscow, which pitted Belarusian and Russian athletes and politicians against each other. And in 2011, after a tragic plane crash claimed the lives of the KHL team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, Lukashenko inserted himself prominently into Dinamo Minsk's tribute to the fallen team, skating on the ice in a Belarus hockey jersey accompanied by his young son:
Image from: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/09/09/sports/y-hockey/y-hockey-popup.jpg
Lukashenko is well aware of the possibility for politicians to turn sport to their own ends, having once stated that "sport is diplomacy and politics. Actually no, it's great politics, especially ice hockey." Given Lukashenko's passion for and political relationship with hockey, the awarding of the 2014 World Championships to Belarus must have been a great coup for the President – and it has spurred him to approve the construction of dozens of expensive and impressive hockey arenas across the country. However, now that his regime is facing criticism about its human rights record and calls for the championship to be moved, Lukashenko is doing an about-face and falling back on the oft-cited claim that sport is divorced from politics:
Last year [Lukashenko] dismissed the threat of a Western boycott as "pure politicking".
"This is a purely politicised process, and it has nothing to do with sports," Lukashenko insisted. "And if [a boycott] happens, this will be a blow to the world hockey federation's image. Belarus deserves this championship."
Yet, the 2014 World Championships are intimately connected with Lukashenko's political regime. Viorel Ursu and Joanna Hosa of the Open Society European Policy Institute write that:
Ice hockey is highly political in Belarus. Its president, a renowned hockey player and self-confessed dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, is using hockey to play for legitimacy. . . .
For a country popularly known as home to "the last dictator of Europe," there was surprisingly little outrage in 2009 when Belarus was awarded the right to organize the championship. Some saw it as a chance to open up Belarus and its economy. René Fasel, the President of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), was determined to focus on sport. He praised Belarus as a "hockey nation" and said he is always happy to go to Minsk. . . .
Despite [efforts to move the tournament], Fasel confirmed the decision to hold the games in Minsk. He fell back on the dogma that "sport cannot and should not be a political tool", ignoring the reality that his sport is already highly politicised, and a tool for one of the most infamous regimes in Europe.
Lukashenka is using the championship to boost his image, both externally and internally. In May 2012 he assured his parliamentarians that Belarus is ready to host the games and welcome foreign fans. He added that foreigners believe lies on the Internet, but once they come and see Belarus for themselves, they will discover that it is a beautiful, modern country and that there are no "bears and no evil sabre-rattling dictator rambling in the streets of Minsk."
There are encouraging signs of opposition to Belarus' hosting of the World Championships. Paavo Arhinmyaki, Finland's Minister of Sports and Culture, last year called upon the IIHF to consider moving the tournament if Lukashenko continued his political repression. A number of German politicians made similar calls. Peter Stastny, a former NHL star and current Member of the European Parliament for Slovakia, has also spoken out on the issue, saying:
Ice hockey championships is like the Olympics, it's a matter of prestige and I don't personally want ice hockey to be associated with the dictator in Belarus.
Meanwhile, a campaign named "Don't Play With the Dictator" is working to have the World Championships moved unless Belarus addresses its human rights abuses. The campaign, which is supported by a number of international human rights NGOs, states on its website:
To hold the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Belarus would support and legitimatise a regime which violates the human rights of the people of Belarus in an alarming way.
We urge the IIHF and the representatives of the national IIHF member organisations to support the victims of human rights violations by removing the 2014 IIHF World Championship from Belarus.
The 2014 IIHF World Championship should only take place in Belarus after the Government of Belarus has:
– released all political prisoners unconditionally
– introduced a moratorium or abolished the death penalty
– stopped the use of violence, ill-treatment and torture against peaceful protestors and prisoners
– abolished criminal code article 193.1
– ensured the registration of independent NGOs and democratic political parties in a fair, impartial and transparent manner
– stopped the persecution, harassment and intimidation of dissidents
– fully rehabilitated all those prosecuted for political reasons
It is encouraging to see a movement emerge to contest the Lukashenko regime and its attempts to bolster its legitimacy through hosting the World Hockey Championships. However, it remains to be seen whether the campaign will have any success – certainly, a relocation of a tournament scheduled to take place in six months seems unlikely, and a boycott by any participating countries even more remote. That being said, last month Lukashenko himself admitted the possibility of a boycott or relocation.
Even if it is unsuccessful in moving the World Championships, the campaign still has an opportunity to raise awareness of Belarus' human rights abuses and leverage the tournament to pressure politicians into pushing for the Lukashenko regime to reform its practices. Raising widespread public consciousness of Belarus' human rights record, while certainly not enough to change it, is certainly an important step in pushing for change.
That being said, when the cameras roll, the crowd cheers, the national anthems play, and the puck drops to open the tournament, will the lives of Belarusian citizens and activists be improved or look more hopeful? That question will be central to determining whether or not the campaign against the Lukashenko government and its hosting of the World Championships has been able to make a difference.

Great article Mark. Definitely a story that hasn't received any sort of attention but is worth keeping an eye on.
I'm a little bothered by a comment your article received over on Reddit:
Politics and Hockey have nothing to do with each other. The citizens of Belarus have as much right as anyone else to watch competitive world championship hockey. – antok300 (user name)

I'm not even sure where to begin with this one!
markdavidnorman says:
I know, I saw that too! Decided it was best not to engage with the comment, as it doesn't seem like the commenter read much (or any) of the article – especially the part where an authoritarian ruler explicitly says that hockey makes good politics!

Get Out and Support Your Local Bookstore on April 29th!
In anticipation of Authors for Indies Day on Saturday, April 29, 2017, we spoke with coordinator Robin Rivers to learn more about this awesome initiative. We also discuss what sets independent bookstores apart from the big box stores.
1) What is Authors for Indies Day?
Authors For Indies Day is a Canada-wide celebration of independent booksellers. On Saturday, April 29, Canadians will be out celebrating our independent bookstores—along with the authors who love them—as part of the third annual Authors for Indies Day. On this day, authors across the country will volunteer at their local indies to greet customers, recommend books, and celebrate the vital role of independent bookstores in both the book industry and our communities. This year, independent bookstores from Victoria to Halifax are hosting nearly 600 authors who will be signing books, talking shop with avid readers, and lending their support to promote local bookstores.
2) Why is it important to support your local, independent bookstores?
For book lovers, indie bookstores build community, make for great spots to hang out, celebrate literary diversity, and serve as that place where anyone can go and experience the stories of our lives as Canadians. They are the heart of the Canadian literary community.
3) In your opinion, what is the primary benefit of shopping at an indie bookstore vs. a big box retailer?
For me, shopping at an indie bookstore is not just the act of buying a book, it is about nurturing the bonds that reading and storytelling create between people. When I walk into the bookstore a couple of blocks away from my house, I step through the door to meet up with friends. I know the booksellers by name, and they recognize me. They remember what my 11-year-old is reading and ask. They know my little one loves Ashley Spires and let me know with an e-mail whenever she has an event coming up. They get that I inhale historical fiction as fast as I can get my hands on it and set aside copies of new releases for me behind the counter. We chat about Karim Alrawi's Book of Sands and Kate Hilton's upcoming novel. It's a rare occasion that I see anyone at a big box until I get to the counter to pay.
4) What can authors do to support their local, independent bookstores?
Participate in Authors For Indies Day, of course! Really, though, authors can support their local, independent bookstore by working with a bookseller when it comes time for their own book promotion and—more than anything—being an active part of that bookseller's community all year long.
5) How can book lovers across Canada get involved in Authors for Indies Day?
Book lovers across Canada can find an event in their area by checking out authorsforindies.com.

Hugh Dennis and a team of archaeologists search for traces of a Roman bathhouse beneath a street in Maidstone, Kent.
REVIEW: The Great British Dig
The newest TV programme in our list above is The Great British Dig, which aired on 9 April. Have you ever wondered what might lie beneath your lawn? The residents of Florence Road, in Maidstone, Kent, have been given the opportunity to find out. In 2004, when the local pub was demolished for new housing, the remains of a Roman bathhouse were uncovered. Do more traces from this period lie beneath the suburban street? A team of archaeologists headed by comedian Hugh Dennis set out to investigate in a five-day test-pitting project aided by local residents.
As the project's frontman, Hugh represents a genial everyman figure, asking the right questions to allow for archaeological exposition, and helping the team to charm their way into residents' gardens. Interpretation of the finds, though, is left to the experts: lead archaeologists Dr Chloe Duckworth, Milica Rajic, and Richard Taylor, who offer concise and accessible insights into the historical context, individual objects, and archaeological techniques. The programme does a good job of highlighting aspects of investigation beyond digging – magnetometry, processing soil samples for plant remains, finds analysis – and the local community's involvement (and enthusiasm) is heart-warming, as they share in the history of their neighbourhood.

Ballard Spahr | Oregon Court Sides with Debt Buyer in Choice-of-Law Dispute
Oregon Court Sides with Debt Buyer in Choice-of-Law Dispute
by members of the Consumer Financial Services Group
Despite a cardholder agreement that contained a choice-of-law provision that would otherwise require the application of Delaware's statute of limitations (SOL), an Oregon appellate court recently held that a debt buyer's collection action against an Oregon cardholder was not subject to Delaware's three-year SOL, and instead was timely under Oregon's six-year SOL.
In its March 14, 2012, decision in CACV of Colorado, LLC v. Stevens, the Oregon Court of Appeals initially found that because the cardholder agreement had a Delaware choice-of-law provision, under Oregon conflict of law rules, both Delaware's three-year SOL and its nonresident tolling statute applied to the debt buyer's action. The effect of the tolling statute, according to the court, was to toll the Delaware SOL as to a nonresident defendant like the cardholder who, when the cause of action accrued, was outside Delaware and not otherwise subject to service of process there.
The court also noted that the venue provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act precluded the debt buyer from suing the cardholder in Delaware until such time, if ever, that she became a Delaware resident. The cardholder contended that the Delaware legislature could not have intended for the Delaware SOL to be tolled indefinitely as to a nonresident defendant sued outside of Delaware. Accordingly, the cardholder urged the court to find that the debt buyer's action was untimely based on the three-year Delaware SOL.
Concluding that Delaware courts would apply the tolling statute literally, the Oregon appeals court subsequently found that Delaware's three-year SOL was tolled indefinitely as to the debt buyer's action. The court then determined that, as a result of such tolling, Oregon conflict of law provisions compelled use of Oregon's six-year SOL instead.
Those provisions—referred to as an "escape clause" by the appeals court—require application of Oregon's SOL instead of another state's SOL when such other state's SOL (1) is substantially different from the Oregon SOL period, and (2) imposes an unfair burden on the defendant in defending against the claim. The appeals court found that the two requirements were met because Oregon's SOL period was six years while Delaware's could run indefinitely and deny the cardholder an SOL defense.
Although it affirmed the trial court's conclusion that the debt buyer's action was timely under the Oregon SOL, the appeals court reversed the trial court's award of attorney's fees to the debt buyer, which had also been based on Oregon law. The appeals court found that the trial court had erroneously applied Oregon law, which does not place a monetary limit on attorney fee awards, when it should have applied the provision of Delaware law that limits attorney fee awards in actions to enforce various written instruments to 20 percent of the principal and interest recovered in the action.
More specifically, the court found that the circumstances required under Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws Section 187(2) for disregarding the Delaware choice-of-law provision did not exist because Delaware had a substantial relationship to the card issuer and Oregon did not have fundamental policy against the imposition of a limit on attorney's fees.
The court also rejected the debt buyer's argument that it was entitled to recover its attorney's fees under a different provision of Delaware law applicable to bank revolving credit plans that contains no monetary limit, finding— wrongly, in our opinion—that such provision's use of the term "bank" created a statutory right to attorney's fees that did not apply to a debt buyer.
The debt collection industry, and creditors attempting to collect their own debts, are currently facing a rash of documentation-related challenges that have spread from mortgage foreclosures to encompass all manner of collection actions, including those involving credit card, student loan, and other types of non-mortgage debt. To assist clients in responding proactively to such challenges, Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group's recently formed Collection Documentation Task Force conducts extensive audits of collection procedures and counsels on best documentation practices. The task force brings together litigators in the group with experience defending mortgage lenders and other consumer lenders in documentation-related lawsuits nationwide and regulatory lawyers in the group with deep knowledge of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's national bank foreclosure review process and federal and state debt collection laws.
Lawyers in Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group have vast experience in defending FDCPA lawsuits and related claims, including attempts by debtors' counsel to invoke SOL defenses to defeat collection actions, and regularly consult with lenders and creditors on drafting choice-of-law provisions to anticipate such challenges. In addition, the group is nationally recognized for its guidance in structuring and documenting new consumer financial services products, its experience with the full range of federal and state consumer credit laws throughout the country, and its skill in litigation defense and avoidance (including pioneering work in pre-dispute arbitration programs).

Sydney Labor Students: dead?
Justin Pen reports on an exodus from SLS.
by Justin Pen
A large number of Sydney Labor Students (SLS) have left the faction following a dispute over who the caucus would support in the Students' Representative Council (SRC) election this September.
The members resigned after a procedural motion was passed to close the speaking list during a debate over whether they would support a Centre Unity/National Labor Students (NLS) coalition or Grassroots for the SRC Presidency.
The following Office Bearers have resigned from SLS: Vice President Max Hall, General Secretary James Leeder, Welfare Officer Chiara Angeloni, Sexual Harassment Officer Georgia Carr, and Welfare Officer Philippa Specker.
The resigning SLS members told Honi Soit that all SRC councillors in SLS, other than Harry Stratton, have already, or are expected to, leave the faction. One remaining member of SLS disputed this, saying that the majority of SLS councillors have remained in the faction and would not resign.
According to those resigning, the motion to close the speaking list was used to stymie debate and force a vote. They said that, at the time the debate was closed, 8 members remained on the speaking list, 6 of who had not yet spoken, and a number of members had not yet indicated whether they intended to speak.
Remaining members of SLS insist that democratic processes were followed during the meeting. Oliver Plunkett, a remaining SLS member and the SRC Welfare Officer, said that "the issue had been discussed for more than an hour, and all sides had a fair hearing – there was plenty of thorough debate".
Resigning members contended that, while procedure was followed, substantive democratic processes were not adhered to as the speaking list was prematurely closed.
Although remaining SLS members have the said that the reason for the closure of debate was that 3 members of caucus needed to leave the meeting due to prior plans, resigning members insisted the meeting would still have been quorate without their presence.
The resigning members further alleged that a large of number of caucus attendees were inexperienced, and were uninformed of important issues related to which candidate the faction should support in the SRC election.
When asked why they chose to resign, a number of former members said the stifling of debate at this meeting was reminiscent of their experience in NLS. SLS formed as a faction following an acrimonious split from NLS in early 2013.
The margin to close the speaking list was decided by two votes.
The subsequent determination to back Unity/NLS over Grassroots was decided by a single vote.
The resigning members, whose ranks include current SLS conveners Carr and Specker, stated that while they had the power to reconvene the meeting at a later time, they decided not to for fear of perpetuating undemocratic caucus practices.
Former member Peter Landi commented that, for those who had resigned, it was the "end of the project to form an independent group in opposition to a Labor machine which sees student politicians rise through SRC positions, union jobs and into parliament."
The resigning members stated they would remain organised up to the SRC election but that they would make decisions about their future political involvement on campus individually.

RHOBH: How Denise Richards cease & desist impacted the reunion by A C
RHONJ: Son of federal judge that sentenced Teresa Giudice killed last night by A C
RHOBH: Brandi Glanville thinks her absence made the reunion more difficult
Brandi Glanville took to her podcast to address the rumors surrounding her attendance at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 10 reunion.
Brandi Glanville's podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, to hear what she had to say about the dramatic Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion. Lisa Rinna was vocal on social media after filming that Denise Richards had ruined the discussion because she sent Brandi the cease and desist. It has also been rumored that other cast member's might have gotten a letter as well, which certainly limited what they could discuss.
Brandi said she had the technical rehearsal and everything was set up for her to participate, but production called and they came to a mutual decision that it would be better for her to do a one-on-one with Andy Cohen instead.
Production's reasoning revolved around the last RHOBH reunion. Camille Grammer came out towards the end of the reunion and it was a mess. Everyone ganged up on her and she ran off stage screaming, unzipping her dress and throwing her microphone on her way offset. It seems they assumed bringing Brandi out in a similar fashion might produce similar results.
I will be addressing the reunion situation today on my podcast so please everyone stop calling me and by the way how do I get my number????? Seriously it's not that big of a deal
— Brandi Glanville (@BrandiGlanville) July 17, 2020
However, Brandi made some great points. She said that the other women should have to earn their paychecks. They shouldn't have an easy target like Brandi to focus on and center the reunion around. "How much better would it be for me to sit down with Andy and not have to fight?" Brandi said she was relieved by the decision and thinks it will be better in a different setting.
"At the end of the day, I was the one who was hurt by Denise." She even said at the end of the day, she was feeling sorry for Denise after everything that happened. And though Brandi says a lot of questionable things, she has some good points.
Her presence at the reunion would be such an easy out for the women. They would focus on her and the situation with Denise without discussing anything else. They would rely on her to bring the drama, and what's in it for her?
Related Story: RHOBH: How Denise Richards cease & desist impacted the reunion
It doesn't seem that Brandi has filmed her one-on-one with Andy yet, and she is set to appear on the next episode of RHOBH this week. Will that change the narrative again once it has filmed? Maybe Brandi will spill on her podcast about that next week.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is on Bravo on Wednesdays at 9 PM ET.

No More Kissing in Egypt? (It's Not True)
What does no kissing on TV mean, anyway?
Parts of the Egyptian mediascape and blogosphere went wild May 1st when the story went around that Dr. Sami al-Sharif, the head of the Egyptian Radio and Television Union had ordered a ban on kissing and hugging in all movies being shown on television, whether Egyptian or foreign.
Al-Sharif subsequently denied it, saying "I have never and will never adopt such a backward decision, considering that this would be a violation of the freedom to create and a destruction of the heritage of Egyptian cinema" according to the web site of the MBC satellite group.
Until he squelched the rumor, criticisms were coming from every direction. Articles appeared in mainstream news sources like Al-Arabiyya (Arabiyya cites an inteview in Al-Masry Al-Youm as the source of Al-Sharif's putative comment but a text search of both the Arabic and English editions didn't turn it up). He was criticized by people like critic Nader Adli and producer Ahmad al-Sabki, as well as in many blogs.
In retrospect, it seems an unlikely story. Al-Sharif was Professor of Radio in the Faculty of Mass Communication , Cairo University, an unlikely candidate for such a proclamation. but people obviously bought it.
Electronic folklore like this is often an idiom for something else. In this case, I think it reflects some of the uncertainties of the new Egypt-in-the-making. People fought to overthrow the regime, yet remnants of the regime remain in power. People protested for freedom, but many of the people freed were Islamic activists whose policies and politics are light years away from those of most protesters.
Thus one impetus for the story may have been the appointment of Sobhi Saleh to the board reviewing constitutional reforms. Saleh is an Alexandria lawyer and former MP who is said to be a fine constitutional expert–but he is also a prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood who has in the past advocated a ban on kissing not only in the movies but in any public place.
Of course, there's always been mixed feelings about kissing on-screen. In the golden era of Egyptian cinema the legendary Umm Kulthum famously refused to be kissed in movies, while actor Anwar Wagdy used to brag about the famous actresses he had kissed. More recently, when comedian Said Saleh said that it was an honor for actresses to be kissed by him, since his kiss is one of a kind, he got sued for promoting "social chaos".
Many Egyptian films have kissing, hand-holding, dancing and sexual allusions. Students in my Middle East course are often surprised at how risque some of these films can be. But there is a parallel "as-sinima an-nazifa," or "clean cinema". All Arabic film faces a tension between telling a story that will bring in the teenagers and telling a story that can be aired not only on Egyptian television but on TV in the Gulf states (whence much of Egyptian cinema's revenue derives).
The rumor about ERTU suggested that even foreign films would have the kissing cut. Foreign films have always been subjected to editing for television in Egypt, just as they are in the US. The nude scene is cut from Titanic and so forth. This story was perhaps a cautionary tale about how boundaries could be redrawn tighter, rather than looser, in the emerging Egypt.

I'm sure I've seen old black and white photos of a very old Burton's a few doors up from Marments (may have been Fosters) but that wouldn't have been the same unit as the current Burton's.

This really is bad news... Wales will lose both its House of Fraser stores! A huge loss to the Cardiff high street.
I imagine this iconic building will stand vacant for a significant length of time.
Yes this is really sad news. Not least for all of the people employed in the store.
Truly the end of an era for those of us who grew up thinking of Howells as Cardiff's answer to Harrods.
The dream scenario is here would be for the store to be taken over be Selfridges, but I'd imagine this is pretty unlikely. Assuming that we won't see another department store taking the site on, this will be a huge change for the city centre, moving the centre of gravity even more firmly in the direction of St David's and potentially damaging the prospects of other retail businesses in St Mary Street and some of the arcades.
I wonder what other uses the building(s) might be used for? It could it be subdivided into three or four medium sized retail units but given the amount of vacant prime units in St David's it's hard to imagine that this would be viable at the moment.
I'd guess that the most likely scenario is that the site will end of being extensively redeveloped, with the frontages retained and whatever ever isn't listed behind them being remodelled to accommodate a mix of uses, potentially including some retail, bars and restaurants, apartments and offices.
I think Qatar Airways have just found the perfect site for their 5* hotel.
Really? Interesting. It's perfect for a big hotel. What I would hate to see is a Travelodge rammed in there. It wouldnt surprise me of Accor are after a second site for a Mercure or a Novotel. I would love to see Qatar take it. I don't think it'll be empty for long.

A Travelodge type hotel wouldn't look at a building like that, way too expensive for them. It's likely to be something at the top end, it's a beautiful building with great features. There's the old chapel inside which would look amazing as part of a bar or restaurant.
