SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara softball team and the Pacific Coast Softball Conference announced today that Angela Kabanuck was named PCSC Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, March 11. Kabanuck's strong play helped the Broncos sweep a doubleheader with Idaho State last Wednesday, March 7, and led them to a win over Charlotte and kept them in three close ballgames this past weekend at the NIST. For the Broncos, this is the first weekly honor of the season.
Over seven games this week, Kabanuck was a stellar 14-for-24 with a .583 batting average. The Bronco's centerfielder blasted two home runs, a double and three runs batted in. She is currently riding a 14-game hitting streak and a nine-game multi-hit streak with exactly two hits in every game Santa Clara has played dating back to March 3 vs. Connecticut. She currently leads the Broncos with a .418 batting average, 41 hits and six home runs.
The Broncos are back in action Wednesday, March 14 when they host Northern Iowa at Marsalli Park. Game one of the doubleheader begins at 2:00 p.m.

Puerto Plata Travel Guide
The province of Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic is fast becoming a popular destination for sun-seeking holidaymakers. Its most obvious attraction is its lush beaches, but look a bit deeper and you'll find a host of things to see and do apart from lazing in a sun lounger all day.
On the northern coast of the Dominican Republic
Generally hot year-round, with average temperatures reaching up into the high 20s and early 30s degrees C. However, it can feel significantly hotter when humidity is factored in.
Dominican peso
Time Difference
Transfer Time
Puerto Plata Gregorio Luperon Airport lies about 11 kilometres from the main city of Puerto Plata. The main method of transfer is by taxi or a rented car and it generally takes around 20 minutes to drive from the airport to one of the main hotels in the area.
The Puerto Plata province is home to a wide array of resorts and hotels, offering options for those who like all facilities close to hand and for those who just prefer a basic place to sleep in and make day trips from. You can also hire a villa or apartment if you prefer some degree of independence. Prices typically range from around £20 per night for a budget room to somewhere in the region of £200 for something more upmarket.
As well as the obvious activity of lounging around on one of the many beaches that line the north coast, visitors to Puerto Plata can indulge in a bit of golf, scuba diving, snorkelling and windsurfing. You can also head into the city of Puerto Plata and check out the eclectic architecture there, or perhaps take in some French ballet and other dance performances. Try out some salsa or merengue dancing yourself at night, or just sit and relax with a rum-based drink at one of the many bars in the area.
Holidaymakers can head straight to the big Playa Dorada Plaza shopping centre near the resorts when they want to splash out on a shopping spree, but more interesting goods can be found at the various markets and one-off stores dotted around the province.
Check out the El Morro National Park at Monte Cristi, a region located several hours' drive from Puerto Plata, to see a wide range of birds and other wildlife. If you're travelling between January and early April, make sure you take a trip to Samana to witness the return of the humpback whales. You can also take a number of tours throughout the region, including ones on horseback.
The resorts offer much entertainment for all the family, but if you fancy heading out to see the rest of the province, merengue festivals take place in July and October, offering a host of things to see and do for adults and children alike. Or why not take a mountain tour to Santiago, or spend an educational afternoon at the amber museum in the city of Puerto Plata?
Getting Around
The main types of public transport in Puerto Plata include buses, guaguas (mini-vans), public taxis and motoconchos, which offer a unique travel experience in the form of a motorbike ride to your chosen destination. Private taxis are also available and generally charge a fixed fee instead of metering the fare.

Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.
– Khalil Gibran
A friend recently posted a picture of this image as it was displayed at the Self-Realization Fellowship Glendale Temple. It is a reminder to me how easily principles can become possessions. Those beautiful, universal tenants which are a sign of our commonality and connection too often become tools used for division. Division will get us nowhere, agreed? Let's find our common ground and celebrate the similarities of our faiths.

I believe that these exciting new watches of Breguet are one of the neatest products of 2016 collection. It's all based on a combination of the cult classic of the brand and a very complicated mechanism with high-speed movement. These men's watches will be attractive not for everyone, but a sufficient number of fans, like me, will certainly enjoy this model.
Review of Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz Ref. 7727
In this review, consider a model Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz Reference 7727. Incidentally, the number 7727, it is not the number that you see on the watch dial. That number, which is next to the Breguet logo on the dial – a number which must be accompanied by a similar number on the mechanism. According to the Breguet brand, watches are not genuine if numbers do not match. This change will help you with the purchase not to buy a fake.
Swiss Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz have a width of 41 mm and are relatively thin. This model is made of 18-carat pink gold with fluted sides that add a classic look Breguet Classique. The dial is made of silver-plated 18-carat gold, is engraved guilloche, black Roman numerals mark of 4 and blued steel hand. Protect it is very durable glass made of sapphire crystal. The asymmetrical, yet balanced view of stylish branded watches Breguet Classique Chronometrie looks just delicious.
Watches Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz include additional dial subsidiary seconds and power reserve indicator up to 60 hours. In the direction of 2:00 has an anti-shock system.
Read also: Breguet Classique 5717 Mundi Hora
Within hours Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz is a new mechanism with a high frequency of 10 Hz – 72,000 semi-oscillations per hour, based on studies of the watch brand Breguet. This chronograph caliber 574 DR manual winding debuted in Breguet Type XXII in 2012, it has 60 hours of power reserve. To maintain the very quick operation of the balance wheel brand Breguet added some magnetic elements in the system, as well as a spiral descent and made of silicon, they do not affect other fields.
Due to the rear of the body of Swiss watches Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz, which has a window on the back of the sapphire crystal, you can see the movement of this interesting mechanism. The balance wheel is made slightly smaller, given how fast it is moving. This movement is impressive, look at it in action. 10 Hz – more than twice as fast as a standard mechanism having 4 Hz and twice as fast as Zenith El Primero, having a frequency of 5 Hz. Theoretically – should increase. Breguet watch brand itself does not publish these details, but I have the impression that men's watches Breguet Ref.7727 should be at least more accurate than models with a lower frequency of movement.
Price watches Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz Reference 7727 of 18-carat pink gold ranges from $50,000 to $75,000.

Otto has decided to spice up the old Where's Otto game! Instead of guessing the location, you are now guessing his position (or head position to be more exact!). Each month we will show a picture with 5 circles, one marking out Otto's head, who has been removed from the picture. Your job is to guess which one is the correct head position. For more details head over to our facebook page (remember to LIKE to enter!)
This was the photo for March – did you enter? If so did you guess the correct answer number 4? We thought that might have tricked a lot of you! Scroll Down to see Otto sneakily on our table.
Here is Otto on the table, showing us head position No. 4 was correct.
He's a sneaky office dog! So now you know the game, fancy entering? It runs for a week, starting on the 1st of every month.

Denver mayoral candidate Chris Romer releases his first TV commercial
Chris Romer, the candidate for Denver mayor who has raised the most money, released his first video that shows him in a variety of locations: a manufacturing plant, a school, a park and a light rail stop.
Romer, 51, wears glasses through most of the 30-second advertisement that is the production of the AKPD Media and Message – the Chicago-based media consultant run by President Obama's former senior adviser David Axelrod. The glasses sure give a striking resemblance to a certain former governor.
Romer, a former state senator and son of influential former Gov. Roy Romer, has raised more than $730,000 through February that eclipses fund-raising of the nine other candidates on the May 3 ballot.
Romer's advertisement focuses on the candidate's work with education reform, showing him in schools and discussing his vision for Denver.
"We must bring the best jobs of the future here and we need a world-class school system to match those jobs," he says. "I'm excited to continue communicating my vision of expecting more for Denver's future to all Denver voters."
The ad is expected to begin airing Tuesday. Expect to see it a lot over the coming weeks.
Now there are three candidates on the airwaves – Romer, Carol Boigon and James Mejia. Michael Hancock made his media buy in January, so we should expect to see his ads soon.

Annix – Past & Future EP
Download this EP from Playaz and get a FREE EXCLUSIVE bonus track.
Annix – aka Konichi and Decimal Bass – are currently one of the most exciting prospects in dnb and this month sees their latest release for Hype and Pascal – the much anticipated 'Past and Future' EP.
Themselves with a future that has them lined up to do some serious damage at Sun Beats Ibiza in September and a past that has seen them putting out massive tunes on Playaz since 2012, Annix kick off the EP with the extremely slick, vocal heavy title track.
'Battle Station' is a filthy cut from Decimal Bass, which will decimate the dancefloor within seconds as the breaks come in, and hot on the heels is Konichi's 'Visions' which has been long awaited (this one was on Annix's guestmix for Friction way back in December).
Annix 'Take It Back' is a spluttering tune that spits fireworks in your face and Decimal Bass 'Near Me' is an awesome switch up of rough and smooth sounds. Finally the wall smashing 'Entrance' from Konichi rounds this ep off with a big exit.

Lord Justice Clerk
Lord Menzies
Lord Wheatley
delivered by LORD CARLOWAY, the LORD JUSTICE CLERK
in the reclaiming motion
Pursuer and Respondent;
Defenders and Reclaimers:
Act: Summers QC, Galbraith; Lefevre Litigation (Pursuer and Respondent)
Alt: RW Dunlop QC, DG Hamilton; Francis Gill & Co (Defenders and Reclaimers)
1 March 2013
Background [1] This is an action of defamation. On 19 December 2012, the Lord Ordinary granted interim interdict against the defenders, in terms of the pursuer's conclusion, prohibiting them:
"From defaming the pursuer by making, publishing or otherwise disseminating statements alleging or containing an innuendo that the pursuer's donation of £11,500 to the Gordon Constituency Labour Party was made in order to induce Labour councillors in Aberdeen Council to perform their public functions improperly by voting in favour of development proposals of Carlton Rock Ltd".
[2] The pursuer has a controlling interest in Carlton Rock Ltd, a property development company functioning in the Aberdeen area. Between March 2011 and May 2012, the pursuer donated £11,500 to the Gordon Constituency Labour Party, which operates in the Aberdeen area. Aberdeen City Council have under consideration applications for planning from Carlton Rock. The first defender is a Scottish National Party councillor on Aberdeen City Council and the second defenders are that party.
[3] On 26 October 2012, the first defender issued a press statement, as follows:
"Labour has received £11,500 in donations from [the pursuer] of Carlton Rock over the last 18 months. To put these donations into context: the [second defenders] spent a total of £8,000 in its council election campaign in Aberdeen. So it is not unreasonable to assume that Cllr. Crockett owes his position as Council Leader to the deep pockets of [the pursuer]. As such, it needs to be made abundantly clear to the public that the debt was not repaid by grateful Labour councillors voting in favour of Carlton Rock's development proposals. There is a clear conflict of interest here. In order to resolve it, Labour should either repay the money they have received from [the pursuer], or they should ensure that none of its councillors take part in decisions that will benefit Carlton Rock, including land deals and planning applications. I can reveal that the [second defenders] turned down a sizeable donation from an Aberdeen property developer in the run-up to the council elections. The donation was made in good faith, and with no 'strings' intended, but neither I, or my fellow [second defenders] councillors, would have taken part in any deliberations involving the developer in question".
[4] On 12 December 2012, the second defenders published an article on a website controlled by them. This was headlined "Labour's conflict of interest with property company director". The article referred to the donation of £11,500 and stated that Labour councillors within a local school trust had previously authorised the sale of a site to Carlton Rock for £7 million, despite there being a reportedly higher bid of £11 million. The article referred to a MSP calling for an urgent investigation into the role of the trust in the sale. The article continued that:
"Ironically, in June 2009, Labour councillor [Y] wrote to the council's City Solicitor urging her to investigate the links between [the pursuer] and former Liberal Democrat councillors".
The article repeated the full text of the first defender's statement.
[5] The pursuer's averments make reference to what he maintains are the natural inferences to be drawn from the statement and the article. Subject to a degree of repetition in earlier articles, the case is brought together in the following condescendence:
"6 The statements made and published by the first and second defenders are false and defamatory of the pursuer. The statements were made in a manner calculated to lower the pursuer in the minds of right thinking members of the public. The statement made by first defender ... falsely and calumniously represented by innuendo that the pursuer had given the Labour Party £11,500 with the intention and expectation that Labour councillors would thereafter consider themselves in his debt, and act improperly in the exercise of their public duties by voting in favour of development proposals for Carlton Rock. The website article ... further defamed the pursuer by repeating the first defender's statement and by adding further comment to strengthen the inferences of improper and criminal conduct".
[6] The averments allege continuing defamation by virtue of the issue and publishing of the statement and article. With specific reference to a meeting of the Council scheduled for 19 December 2012, it is said that the pursuer reasonably apprehends that the defenders will continue to make defamatory comments of the nature already alluded to and that:
"In the absence of any evidence or factual basis for such an allegation or innuendo, any repetition by the first defender of this statement in such a context would not be in accordance with the proper performance of his public duties and would be malicious".
[7] The Lord Ordinary's Opinion makes reference to the submissions of the pursuer that the statement and article carried an innuendo of a defamatory nature. He noted that the defenders' submission was, first, that the statement and article were not capable of bearing the innuendo contended for and that, in any event, secondly, what was complained about amounted to no more than fair comment. It was also said by the defenders that, thirdly, the material was covered by qualified privilege. The final submission for the defenders was that, in relation to the granting of interim interdict, regard had to be had to section 12(3) of the Human Rights Act 1998, which prohibited interim relief being granted in circumstances such as the present, unless the court was satisfied "that the applicant is likely to establish that publication should not be allowed".
[8] The Lord Ordinary's conclusions were expressed in relatively short compass. He found that the whole tenor and language of the statement was one involving an obligation or debt owed by the Labour Party to the pursuer. In terms of Russell v Stubbs 1913 SC (HL) 14 (Lord Shaw at pages 23-24), the reasonable or natural inference to be drawn from the words used was that the Labour councillors had reached, or would reach, a view in favour of Carlton Rock's development proposals because of the donation made by the pursuer. If that were correct, then the innuendo contended for by the pursuer had been made out. That innuendo was of criminal conduct. Accordingly, the Lord Ordinary was of the view that a prima facie case of defamation had been made out.
[9] In relation to qualified privilege, this was dismissed with the simple sentence that said:
"I was not satisfied that the case of qualified privilege had been established".
The Lord Ordinary did not address the issue of fair comment at all. He did turn to the issue of balance of convenience and noted that, in terms of Gatley on Libel and Slander (11th ed) paras 27.2-27.3 and Burn-Murdoch: Interdict para 379, the court would be slow to interfere with legitimate political discussion. He took the view that that point was reinforced by the provisions of section 12(3) of the 1998 Act, which he encapsulated as meaning that the pronouncement of interim orders was prevented "unless publication is ultimately disallowed after a full hearing of a case" (para [8]). He found that the test in section 12(3) had been satisfied by virtue of the pursuer's case being "relatively strong" (ibid). Accordingly, and apparently based solely on the strength of the merits, the Lord Ordinary held that the balance of convenience favoured the pronouncement of the interim order.
Submissions Defenders and reclaimers
[10] The defenders contended that, as a generality, the Lord Ordinary's interlocutor was not supported by the content of his Opinion, which lacked any proper consideration of qualified privilege and any consideration whatsoever of fair comment. The likelihood test under section 12(3) subsumed the traditional requirement to demonstrate a prima facie case and the court had to consider any relevant defences (Dickson Minto v Bonnier Media 2002 SLT 776, Lord Carloway at para [6]; Greene v Associated Newspapers [2005] QB 982, Brooke LJ at paras 22, 46-47).
[11] The pursuer had failed to make out a prima facie case that a defamatory meaning was "a reasonable, natural, or necessary interpretation" of the words used in the statement or article (Russell v Stubbs 1913 SC (HL) 14, Lord Shaw at 23). The hypothetical "reasonable reader" would have to be unduly suspicious and prone to selecting a defamatory meaning in order to derive any allegation of criminality, which was the only case the defenders had to meet (Macleod v Newsquest (Sunday Herald) 2007 Rep LR 5, Lord Macphail at para [14] following Gillick v British Broadcasting Corporation [1996] EMLR 267, Neill LJ at 272-3). The focus of both the statement and article had been to criticise the Labour councillors in respect of a potential conflict of interest. This focus could not have related to the pursuer, who was merely a donor and had no public duty. Any criminality could only have been on the part of the Labour councillors.
[12] The interdict was too broad in its terms and would impact on the defenders' ability to discharge their public duties. The real difficulty was what the defenders could or could not say. There required to be far greater precision in the form of interdict (British Data Management v Boxer Commercial Removals [1996] EMLR 349, Hirst LJ, delivering the judgment, at 361; Murdoch v Murdoch 1973 SLT (Notes) 13).
[13] Even if the words complained of were capable of bearing the innuendo contended for, the defence of "fair and honest comment" applied (Joseph v Spiller [2011] 1 AC 852, Lord Phillips at paras 2-3). The comment was clearly a matter of public interest drawn from statements of fact, which were admitted to be true, and it was, or could reasonably have been inferred to be, a "deduction, inference, conclusion criticism, remark, [or] observation" (Branson v Bower [2001] EMLR 800, Latham LJ at paras 11-12 citing Gatley on Libel and Slander (9th ed, para 12.6) under reference to Clarke v Norton [1910] VLR 494, Cussen J at 499; Jeyaretnam v Goh Chok Tong [1989] 1 WLR 1109 Lord Ackner, delivering the judgment of the Privy Council, at 1113). The comment was not so extreme that it could not have been made honestly. The defence applied to the contention that there was a conflict of interest; the conflict having been derived from admitted facts. The defence also applied to any innuendo up to and including an allegation of criminality which was similarly derived from those facts.
[14] The defence of qualified privilege extended to statements made in the course of the defenders' council or public duties, including allegations of criminality, and was only avoided by proof of malice (Shaw v Morgan (1888) 15 R 865, LJC (Moncrieff) at 869; Lightbody v Gordon (1882) 9 R 934, LP (Inglis) at 937, Lord Shand at 940). The pursuer had made no relevant averments of malice; political spite was not sufficient (Joseph v Spiller (supra), Lord Phillips at para 69 under reference to Tse Wai Chun v Cheng [2001] EMLR 777 Lord Nicholls at para 48). The test of malice was subjective. The pursuer had to aver that it was the motive of the defenders to injure the pursuer or that their publications had been reckless without consideration of whether their content was true (Horrocks v Lowe [1975] AC 135, Lord Diplock at 149-151). If the court accepted that the innuendo was demonstrated, it had been unintentional. The first defender did not believe the content of the innuendo to be true. In these circumstances, qualified privilege would not be lost given the unintended nature of the innuendo (Loveless v Earl [1999] EMLR 530, Hirst LJ at 538-539).
[15] The Lord Ordinary had conflated the test to be applied under section 12(3) of the 1998 Act and the balance of convenience. He had failed to give sufficient weight to the need to protect freedom of speech, especially in the political arena (Macmillan Magazines v RCN Publishing Co [1998] FSR 9). If the interdict stood, the defenders' rights were stifled with no remedy. By contrast, it was relevant that damages were available, if the pursuer ultimately succeeded in his action (Dickson Minto v Bonnier Media (supra)).
Pursuer and respondent
[16] The pursuer sought to have the reclaiming motion refused and the interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary affirmed. The finding of innuendo had been a discretionary decision. The pursuer had demonstrated a prima facie case as understood in the context of section 12(3) (Dickson Minto v Bonnier Media (supra)). In any event, the Lord Ordinary's interpretation of the statements complained of ought to be afforded some weight.
[17] The terms of the interdict were not so wide that it should not have been granted (Burn-Murdoch: Interdict, pp 96-98). A distinction had to be drawn between the importance of clarity in framing an interlocutor and the essential requirements to plead a relevant case of defamation (cf British Data Management v Boxer Commercial Removals (supra)). The full extent of the defamatory words was known and it was perfectly clear what the defenders were prohibited from saying.
[18] The pursuer had to satisfy the court only that the words complained of were capable of bearing the innuendo alleged. Regard had to be made not only to the language of the publication (Russell v Stubbs (supra), Lord Kinnear at 19) but also its wider context (Macleod v Newsquest (supra), Lord Macphail at para 22). The statement was published on an official political party website and the ordinary reader would have been entitled to rely on it as an accurate expression of fact on a matter of public interest. The clear innuendo was that the pursuer made donations to a political party in order to induce Labour councillors to perform their public functions improperly. Whether or not this constituted criminal behaviour, in terms of the Bribery Act 2010, it was defamatory in the sense that it would have lowered his reputation in the minds of right thinking members of the local community. If the true import of the statements complained of had only been a conflict of interest on the part of the local councillors, this could have been made plain. However, no reference was made to the statutory scheme for dealing with such complaints (Ethical Standards in Public Life etc (Scotland) Act 2000; Councillors' Code of Conduct (3rd edition, December 2010, Standards Commission for Scotland)). In any event, comments on conflict of interest and allegations of improper conduct were not mutually exclusive.
[19] Whilst the Lord Ordinary did not address the issue of fair comment, the requirements of the defence (Joseph v Spiller (supra); Tse Wai Chun v Cheng (supra)) had not been met. The innuendo was an assertion of fact rather than comment. The solitary expression "it is reasonable to assume" could not be taken to benefit the entire publication and there was no other language indicating this was a case of comment (cf Jeyaretnam v Goh Ghok Tong (supra) at 1113).
[20] In the context of a local councillor's duty to conduct public business within his constituency his obligation to disseminate information was restricted to persons in the constituency, who alone had an interest in receiving that information (Loveless v Earl (supra), Hirst LJ at 538; Shaw v Morgan (supra); Horrocks v Lowe (supra)). The statements complained of were published on a national website, which effectively constituted worldwide dissemination. Therefore, the defence of qualified privilege could not be made out unless the defenders demonstrated a wider public interest.
[21] Neither the defence of fair comment nor qualified privilege applied to statements made maliciously. If the court found that the innuendo had been intended, since the defenders had admitted they never believed it to be true, they cannot be said to have demonstrated an "honest belief" and the comment was therefore malicious (Tse Wai Chun v Cheng (supra), Lord Nicholls at para 79; Joseph v Spiller (supra) Lord Phillips at para 3). The defenders' lack of belief in the innuendo would generally be conclusive of express malice (Horrocks v Lowe (supra), Lord Diplock at 151). The lack of any apology by the defenders was an adminicle of evidence in considering whether malice was made out.
[22] The Lord Ordinary did not address the balance of convenience as a separate test but, in any event, that balance favoured the grant of interim interdict in the interests of the parties. The innuendo did not serve the purpose of legitimate political debate and did not prevent debate concerning any conflict of interest on the part of local councillors. The pursuer was a property developer and prominent businessman in the local community with an ongoing relationship with the council in relation to various current planning applications. Accordingly it was critical that his reputation was not damaged by unjustified imputations concerning his dealings with council members.
[23] There are essentially four issues of substantive law to be addressed in the determination of this reclaiming motion, notably whether: (1) the Lord Ordinary erred in holding that there was a prima facie case of defamation; that is to say whether the statement and/or article are capable of bearing a defamatory innuendo of improper, if not criminal conduct, on the part of the pursuer; (2) even if innuendo was demonstrated, the context of the article and statement attracted qualified privilege; (3) in any event, what was said amounted to "fair comment"; and (4) the pursuer was "likely to establish", after proof, that publication should be prohibited. Were the pursuer to succeed on these points, the issues of "balance of convenience" and the scope of the interdict would still fall to be considered.
Innuendo [24] The court accepts that the Lord Ordinary adopted the correct test for determining what, if any, innuendo was to be drawn from the words actually used. In Russell v Stubbs 1913 SC (HL) 14, Lord Shaw (at 23) described the test as follows:
"Is the meaning sought to be attributed to the language alleged to be libellous one which is a reasonable, natural, or necessary interpretation of its terms?"
In applying that test, a "strained and sinister interpretation" based upon "mistrust, jealousy, or suspicion" is to be avoided. The innuendo must be of conduct which would, in terms of Sim v Stretch [1936] 2 All ER 1237 (Lord Atkin at 1240):
"tend to lower the [pursuer] in the estimation of right thinking members of society generally".
This test is an echo of a much earlier one found in Smith: Reparation (1864) (at 188) and said (Norrie: Defamation at 9) to be derived from Grotius (Naturrecht, ss 306). It is an objective one, involving a consideration of what the reasonable man would take from a reading of the material complained of (Duncan v Associated Scottish Newspapers 1929 SC 14, Lord Anderson at 20). Whether the test is met is not a question involving the application of judicial discretion. It does, however, require judgment, whether that of a judge or jury.
[25] Both parties have sought to place what they contend to be reasonable interpretations on the words used. It was pointed out by the defenders, with some force on the one hand, that the thrust of the statement and article is directed towards the propriety of the councillors' conduct in not recognising a conflict of interest. That, it was argued, is what the reader would take from the words used and not that the pursuer was effectively bribing the councillors (eg contravening the Bribery Act 2010, s 1) to approve his company's proposals. The statement and article had made it clear that the payment had been made to the constituency Labour party and not to individuals. The pursuer, on the other hand, argued persuasively that the statement and article are phrased in terms of an obligation of debt owed by the councillors to the pursuer by virtue of the payment, which had been, or would be, repaid by favourable consideration given by these councillors of the pursuer's interests as promoted by his company, namely Carlton Rock.
[26] Although the matter is far from being without difficulty, the reasonable man would conclude, from a reading of the material, that what was being suggested was that the pursuer was engaged in what might, at least, be called corrupt practices (if not bribery under the 2010 Act); being the donation of sums to a local Labour party with the intention that this persuade the party's councillors to treat the pursuer's interests more favourably than would be objectively justifiable. The court is therefore of the view that the innuendo complained of is at least "likely" to be made out after proof. The innuendo is one of corrupting local politicians, which the general public would regard as criminal conduct.
Qualified Privilege [27] In the ordinary case, the necessary ingredient of malice (animus injurandi) in defamation is presumed from the use of defamatory words used against another. That will not occur when the words are said in a context which attracts qualified privilege; that is where public policy dictates that the speaker should express himself freely (Nelson v Irving (1897) 24 R 1054, LJC (Macdonald) at 1057). In that situation, malice must be averred and proved. There is no doubt that a local councillor, speaking upon matters within the council's ambit, may be covered by such privilege (Shaw v Morgan (1888) 15 R 865, LJC (Moncrieff) at 869), if what is said is versans in officio (ie whilst engaged in a public duty; ibid, interlocutor at 872). It is not necessary that what is said took place specifically in the context of a council meeting (Mutch v Robertson 1981 SLT 217), but what is said has to be linked to the councillor's public duties.
[28] The court has been unable to reach a concluded view on whether or not the statement would be covered by qualified privilege in the absence of further information on where and how it was released. All that the court was told was that the first defender released a "press statement". The context of that release is obscure. The defence is, in any event, more difficult once the web article is taken into account, even if the court does not share the view that, because the donation was to a local constituency, it would cease to be a matter of public interest when published on a national website. However, the court is unable to conclude that the defenders, and especially the second defenders, have set out a sound basis upon which to establish the defence of qualified privilege.
[29] The court is not, however, persuaded that there are relevant and specific averments of malice. In that regard, a bare averment of future malice of the type quoted above is insufficient (Suzor v McLachlan 1914 SC 306, LP (Strathclyde) at 312; see also Elder v Gillespie 1923 SLT 32).
Fair Comment [30] The defence of fair comment has been said to have emerged from that of qualified privilege (Norrie: Defamation at 136, citing Cooper; Defamation and Verbal Injury (2nd ed) (see p 178). However, this would be slightly surprising given the nature of the two defences and the absence, apart from the need for the subject matter to be one of public interest, of common features especially in relation to the effect of proof of malice (infra). Consistent with the general right of freedom of expression:
"the law will not allow a person to recover damages from another for something the latter has said or published about him, although it may be disagreeable, if the utterance is nothing more than rational liberty of speaking would permit or common sense would support" (Cooper (supra) p 179).
As it was put in Archer v Ritchie & Co (1891) 18 R 719 (Lord McLaren at 727):
"The expression of an opinion as to a state of facts truly set forth is not actionable, even when that opinion is couched in vituperative or contumelious language".
In more modern times, Lord Ross was content in Fairbairn v Scottish National Party 1980 SLT 149 (at 152) with defining the defence by quoting from Walker: Delict (2nd ed at 841) that:
"in fair comment the defender must show that each statement of fact is true, that the matter is one of public interest, and that the comment on the facts is fair".
The issue of whether something is a fair inference from the true facts is not elaborated upon and is left to be decided upon the basis of what Cooper (supra) describes as "common sense". The court proceeds on the basis that this is an accurate reflection of the current law. Interestingly, and distinguishing the defence from that of qualified privilege, malice is not part of the equation (cf Walker (supra) at 841-2 under reference to English authorities only). Presumably, the reasoning is that if something is "fair comment" derived from true fact, the fact that it is maliciously made has no relevance. The comment may be made maliciously and be intended to lower the pursuer in the estimation of right thinking people. However, as in the case of a successful plea of veritas, the statement made, whatever the motive of its maker, ceases to be actionable.
[31] The court's attention was drawn to the developments which have occurred in relation to "fair comment" in England and Hong Kong. The history of the subject is recounted at length, and with some trenchant criticism of previous judicial dicta, by Lord Phillips in Joseph v Spiller [2011] 1 AC 852. Lord Phillips adopted (para 3), with one slight modification, the requirements for the defence which had been enumerated by Lord Nicholls in Tse Wai Chun v Cheng [2001] EMLR 777 (at paras 16 - 21). He ultimately determined that the defence should be renamed "honest comment" on the basis that Lord Nicholls had stated (para 20) that one of the requirements was that the comment "must be one which could have been made by an honest person, however prejudiced he might be, and however exaggerated or obstinate his views" (see also Reynolds v Times Newspapers [2001] 2 AC 127). There appears, from Lord Phillips' comments, to be an ongoing debate in England on whether the focus ought to be on whether, looking at the matter subjectively, a person has acted maliciously or on an objective test of whether the "obstinate and prejudiced person" could "have honestly based the comment ... on the facts" (Lord Phillips at para 108). Such a level of sophistication would, as Lord Phillips recognises, remove the issue of fair comment, which has no doubt hitherto been regarded as a matter of fact, from the consideration of a jury (ibid para 116).
[32] It remains important to recognise that this court is concerned with what the law in Scotland actually is and not what it might become, should it develop in the same way as it has in England, in some parts of the Commonwealth (see Gatley on Libel and Slander (11th ed, 1st Supp) para 12.25) or elsewhere. It is important for the court to hear submissions on what the law is in this jurisdiction, before being taken to what may, or may not, be persuasive dicta from other jurisdictions. As matters stand at present, it is sufficient to proceed on the basis that the law put succinctly is that an "expression of an opinion as to a state of facts truly set forth is not actionable" (Lord McLaren supra). The defence is available whether the comment is express or by innuendo (see eg Moffat v London Express Newspaper 1950 SLT (notes) 46).
[33] It is thus a primary requirement for the defence of fair comment that the facts must be true and relate to a matter of public interest. Both of these qualifications appear to be made out in this case. The pursuer is a prominent local businessman. He did make the donations to the constituency Labour party, whose conduct of local affairs will be a matter of local, often national, and sometimes international, interest and concern. The pursuer's company did have development proposals upon which councillors from that constituency party were being asked to vote. In such circumstances, the court considers that a local councillor, such as the first defender, or a political party with a presence on the council, such as the second defenders, would be entitled to raise the matter of the pursuer's donations as one involving, as was commented expressly, a potential conflict of interest. The court is also of the view that it is within the bounds of legitimate public controversy for those having an interest to convey a message, by innuendo or otherwise, that the motive of a property developer, such as the pursuer, in donating large sums of money to a local political party was and is to further his business interests by persuading the members of that party to support his developments. In short, it is fair comment to say that, in these circumstances, the councillors are "in debt" to the developer; even if the developer is ultimately proved to be entirely altruistic in his intentions and intended the donations to assist the local party in its general initiatives designed to assist the citizens of Aberdeen and its environs. Accordingly, on the assumption that the court is correct in holding the innuendo to be made out, and that the circumstances were not privileged, nevertheless what was said in the statement and the article constituted "fair comment" upon true facts stated on a matter of public interest.
Human Rights Act [34] Section 12(3) of the Human Rights Act 1998 provides that, in relation to the granting of "relief" which might affect a person's Article 10 right to freedom of expression, the court should not grant such relief "so as to restrain publication before trial" unless the court is satisfied that the applicant "is likely to establish that publication should not be allowed". Translating that into language appropriate for use in Scotland, if a pursuer seeks an interim interdict prohibiting a defender from publishing his views, the court should not grant such an order unless it is satisfied that the pursuer "is likely to" succeed in his conclusion for a permanent interdict. This poses a higher hurdle for a pursuer, in this class of cases, than that of demonstrating a "prima facie case" at common law (cf Fairbairn v Scottish National Party 1980 SLT 149). It must be taken to have superseded the common law test (Dickson Minto v Bonnier Media 2002 SLT 776, Lord Carloway at para [5]). The court notes, quantum valeat, that there is an even higher hurdle in English practice (Greene v Associated Newspapers [2005] QB 972, following Bonnard v Perryman [1891] 2 Ch 269) where an interlocutory injunction is only granted, apparently, if it is clear that the defence will fail. That is not the law in Scotland.
[35] Given that the Lord Ordinary: (1) appears to have given no thought to the strength of a defence of fair comment; (2) has provided no reason for his conclusion on qualified privilege; and (3) has equiparated the likelihood of success with the pursuer having a "relatively strong case", the court must reassess all the relevant factors in order to decide upon whether the test in section 12(3) is met. It must follow from the court's view on the defence of fair comment that the court does not consider that it is likely that, at a proof, the pursuer will succeed in demonstrating that the publication of the statement or the article should be prohibited as defamatory. Indeed, even if the court were wrong in its conclusion on fair comment, upon the material presently available, given the weaknesses in the pursuer's case in relation not only to that defence but also that of qualified privilege and what might ultimately be held to be the correct innuendo, the court does not consider that the pursuer "is likely" to succeed in obtaining a permanent interdict. It follows from this alone that the interim interdict must be recalled.
Balance of Convenience [36] Two matters remain to be considered. First, there is the question of whether, if the court is wrong in relation to the substantive points and the effect of section 12(3) of the 1998 Act, the Lord Ordinary erred in what was a discretionary decision on where the balance of convenience lay. As was said in Waddell v British Broadcasting Corporation 1973 SLT 246 (LJC (Wheatley) at 253):
"The decision on the balance of convenience is often a difficult and delicate one, which has to be resolved by individual judgment".
However, there are at least two significant features in a case such as the present which ought to be taken into account and which do not feature at all in the Lord Ordinary's reasoning. First, the material complained of has already been published and thus any interim order pronounced now will only have been partially effective in preventing the perceived wrong. Secondly, if it is determined that the material is defamatory and actionable, the pursuer will be entitled to damages in respect of its publication. He may be able to recover damages of a greater amount in due course if the defamation is persisted in, although the effect of the continuing elements of the wrong may be relatively minor in terms of quantum. Both of these features ought to have featured prominently in any reasoning on balance of convenience (see Kwik-Fit-Euro v Scottish Daily Record 1987 SLT 226, Lord Mackay at 229). Such reasoning ought also to have involved a balancing of the defenders' Article 10 rights to freedom of speech and the pursuer's Article 8 right to respect for his private life (see Reynolds v Times Newspapers [2001] 2 AC 127, Lord Nicholls at 190). The absence of any indication that the Lord Ordinary did have regard to these relevant considerations causes the court to conclude that it must reconsider the question of where, even if the pursuer was likely to succeed, the balance of convenience lay. That likelihood is itself an important factor, as the Lord Ordinary undoubtedly did recognise. However, when it is balanced against the fact that publication has already been made, its value diminishes. Especially in matters of politics involving public figures, protection of the right of freedom of expression is particularly important (Lingens v Austria [1986] 8 EHRR 407, at para 42; Ukrainian Media Group v Ukraine [2006] 43 EHRR 25, at para 39). Reassessing the relevant factors accordingly, the court is of the view that the balance of convenience lies in refusing the interim interdict.
Scope of the Interdict [37] The second matter concerns the scope of the interim interdict granted. It is correct to say that an interim interdict, and hence any conclusion for interdict, must be framed in such a way that the person interdicted "shall be in no doubt as to the measure of his liability" (Burn- Murdoch: Interdict at 97, under reference to Middleton v Leslie (1892) 19 R 801, LP (Robertson) at 802). Practical specification is what is required. The problem with the current interim order is not its imprecision. The court considers that it is perfectly clear that the defenders are, in summary, interdicted from disseminating statements containing an innuendo that the pursuer's donation was made in order to induce the councillors to vote in favour of Carlton Rock's development proposals. There is no difficulty with this. The problem is with the scope of the order, which prohibits the first defender, and no doubt any other SNP councillor, from making reference to the donation in situations which would clearly be covered by qualified privilege, such as statements at a council meeting. In the absence of malice being relevantly averred, the court considers that such an order is too wide. However, no lesser or different formulation was suggested by the pursuer (cf Murdoch v Murdoch 1973 SLT (Notes) 13 at 14). In these circumstances, the court would have been bound to recall this interim interdict on this ground also.
Conclusion [38] The court will accordingly allow the reclaiming motion and recall the interim interdict granted on 19 December 2012. It only remains to observe that in the defenders' note of argument, it is stated that "... the marking of the appeal probably suspended the effect of the interim interdict." Lest there be any misapprehension, the marking of a reclaiming motion does not have such an effect. During the currency of an action, an interim interdict remains effective until suspended or recalled (see Stair Memorial Encyclopaedia: Civil Procedure (reissue) para 262 under reference to Maclaren: Bill Chamber Practice at 42).

This my second Adrian McKinty book and the guy definitely has a way with words and an ear for dialogue.
One of the joys of reading is discovering "insights," social commentary or sometimes comments on the human condition that hum in your mind, and linger with you long after the main plot of the book is forgotten. This is one of those books that stays with you after having finished it.
The usual debate between realism and naturalism is quite obvious here, but realism is at its center. I don't understand someone, who wants to read a book that's too real. That would be life, and we read, in part, as an escape from the mundane. What makes a writer like McKinty special is his ability to place realistic characters--people we feel like we know--into extraordinary situations and see how they react and are affected by them.
One of the best thing about "I Hear Sirens in the Street" is its depth. It rises above the dualities to show the greater complicity, and to show that the psychopaths on one side are pretty much like the psychopaths on the other side.
I like comfort reads too, but the best noir being written now will have us look into the abyss and the book will then become a mirror as the abyss looks back.
If I wanted to read formulaic plots, I'd go to the supermarket, drugstore or airport book shelves or (alas) to the library's best-seller section.

Playing guitar and writing songs since age eleven, and in bands since she was 14, it was 2009's self-recorded and appropriately titled Self-Taught Learner that served as the world's introduction to Lissy Trullie. The debut EP was made hastily on a tiny budget, but word of its understated charm spread and its protagonist was soon on the road with TV On The Radio, Blondie and the Cribs.
Over the intervening years, Trullie began to develop the material that would comprise her first album. There were songwriting sessions in London and Stockholm, but it wasn't until she headed to LA to collaborate with producers Hill and Sitek that the record really began to take shape.
Lissy Trullie is coolly confident in feel, its propulsive punk foundation yielding to memorable pop choruses. Dirty guitars and driving, new wave drums are countered by swirling synths, brass, and layers of vocals, with Trullie's voice and presence commanding throughout.

Two of a Kind ($10.95, 104 pages, ISBN: 978-1-60381-520-8) is the long-awaited sequel to Finding Sanctuary, DC Juris's novel about two childhood friends who become lovers and keep their relationship alive by visiting a BDSM Playhouse.
Also available in Kindle.
Finding Sanctuary was universally praised for the quality of Juris's writing as well as the story. Amos Lassen gave it five stars. Kirsten of BDSM Book Reviews admitted that the book had kept her up all night and gave the book a rating of 9 out of 10 overall. Three Dollar Bills called it "pretty hot fantasy fiction."
Vincent and his childhood friend Eric became a couple after Eric initiated him into the pleasures of the Playhouse, a refuge for men to act out their submission/Domination fantasies. Their relationship is warm and loving, but not exclusive. Eric is a "switch," and since Vincent is a submissive, Eric sometimes looks to his own Dom, Anton, for satisfaction—causing Vincent to feel jealous and insecure.
Then Anton's uncle dies and Dimitri—Anton's twin and a troubled, surly, irresistibly sexy version of his brother—comes for a visit. When Dimitri sets his sights on Vincent, ridiculing his supposed sexual passivity, Vincent begins to wonder: is he really a sub, or a switch, like Eric? In the first blush of their relationship, Vincent and Eric reveled in their connection, calling themselves "two of a kind." Perhaps they are also alike in ways that challenge their current power dynamic.
Two of a Kind continues the story of Vincent and Eric, which DC Juris began in his novel, Finding Sanctuary.
A Southern transplant who has retained none of his accent but all of his charm, DC Juris is an out and proud transgender bisexual living in Upstate New York with his husband, four dogs, two cats, and a menagerie of Halloween props just creepy enough to keep people guessing about his sanity. He's still hopelessly single when it comes to the woman in his life, and he'll gladly entertain offers or applications for the position! In the rare event that he's not writing, DC can be found surfing the Internet for random research, killing things on his Xbox, reading, taking pictures of the world around him, or playing Farmville, to which he admits a complete and totally blissful addiction. You can keep up with him at Facebook or click here to visit his website.
Two of a Kind is available on Amazon.com and other Amazon sites worldwide. Wholesale customers can order through Ingram or by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com.
Keep reading for an excerpt:
"Can't I?" He took a long drag off the cigarette, held the smoke in, and then puffed it out slowly. "Guess we'll have to go outside, then."
Vincent glanced over at Eric.
"Oh, I forgot. Puppy has to ask permission." Dimitri ruffled Vincent's hair. "You want me to go ask Big Bad Eric if I can take you for a walk?"
"Fuck off. I don't need permission." Of course he didn't. He and Eric didn't have that kind of BDSM relationship. Vincent frowned. But maybe they should.
"Prove it."
There's nothing to prove. That's what he should have said. What he meant to say. That was the truth. He had nothing to prove to anyone, most especially Dimitri.
Who the hell was Dimitri, anyhow? Someone he had just met. Someone who two days ago he didn't even know existed. But maybe that was what spurred him to act … what made him put one foot in front of the other, following Dimitri blindly until they were in an alley behind the funeral home.
The atmosphere outside was stifling; a veritable cloud of humid, thick heat surrounded them. In the distance, sounds of traffic echoed—honking horns, revving engines, and loud blaring music. But even these receded into the distance as he stood in Dimitri's presence. Like a moth to flame, Vincent dared to get closer.
"I just don't get why you can't be equals," Dimitri was saying. "Why he treats you like such a weakling. Of course, you act like one when he's around. You don't do it as much when he's not. Ever notice that?"
Vincent bristled. How was it a complete stranger could read him so well? But Dimitri wasn't a complete stranger, was he? Dimitri was Anton's twin. It stood to reason that he had some of Anton's innate ability to read people and situations. To control them. Which was exactly what he was doing now. And Vincent had fallen for it. Hook. Line. Sinker.
Vincent shook his head. "I'm not weak, and Eric knows that. If I chose to submit to him, that's exactly what it is—my choice."
"Not because that's the only way he'll have you?" Dimitri dropped the cigarette and ground it out under his heel. He moved closer and trailed his thumb down the side of Vincent's face. "Because, you see … I think I would rather have you a different way. You've got spunk, and I'm not talking about the kind dripping from your cock right now." He grazed his other hand down the front of Vincent's jeans and nodded. "I know you want me."
"No." Vincent shook his head. "I don't." Though his hard cock clearly did.
"You trying to convince me, or yourself? Hmm?" Dimitri reached down and grasped one of Vincent's wrists, grinned when he tried to pull away. "That's right. Fight me. Make me earn what I get. Don't just give it to me because I ask. Make me earn it." He leaned in and licked Vincent's neck.
"Eric has earned it." Eric. Vincent struggled to hold onto that thought. Eric. He loved Eric. Of course he did. He knew that beyond a shadow of a doubt. So why was his cock hard now? Why did he want to give into Dimitri? He would only end up hurt, physically and emotionally. Dimitri would take what he wanted, no matter if Vincent felt he deserved it or not. God, why was that thought so delicious?
Vincent pressed himself back against the wall, trying to put space between them, but Dimitri would not have it. He moved closer still, ground his knee in between Vincent's thighs and up into Vincent's groin. Vincent barely stifled a moan. Dimitri's grip on his right wrist tightened as he grabbed for his left, pinning both wrists at Vincent's sides against the wall. The concrete scraped at his tender flesh, a sensation Vincent found oddly erotic. He struggled a bit, just to see what Dimitri would do.
Dimitri threw his head back and pulled in a deep breath threw his nose; let it out in a harsh bark. "That's the spirit." He squeezed Vincent's wrists harder, hitched his knee higher.
Panic—thrilling, raw, and real—scorched through Vincent. He struggled in earnest now, but no matter what he did, his movements only increased the contact with Dimitri. He writhed against the wall, caught between need and fear, desire and disgust. What if Anton rounded the corner right now? Worse, what if Eric did?

Review for Easter Seals Southeast Wisconsin, West Allis, WI, USA
Easter Seal Southeast Wisconsin adopted a slice of our Good Harvest Secret Garden this past season, and it was a tremendous success! Responsibility consisted of planting, weeding and harvesting produce from the adopted slice of the garden. The participation was 110% and dependable! Our staff was thrilled to work with each and every individual! East Seals was exceptional to partner with, and NuGenesis is rallying to have them back again next season.

Every week, "Charts & Graphs" looks past the weekend box-office numbers to examine other lists of movies that are popular right now, as assessed by the likes of iTunes, Amazon, Box Office Mojo, and other services.
It's been a few months since I last looked at the top-selling Blu-rays and DVDs (and DVD/Blu-ray combo packs) of the week, as determined by Nielsen's Video Scan First Alert service. Yesterday in Variety, Thomas K. Arnold of Home Media Magazine wrote about the Top 20 sellers and Top 10 renters for the week ending October 12, and I read the article with interest, curious to know whether the decision to rebrand Edge Of Tomorrow as Live. Die. Repeat. had helped the movie reach a new audience. Here are the lists:
Top 10 Sellers
1. Edge Of Tomorrow (new)
2. Transformers: Age Of Extinction
3. Sleeping Beauty: Diamond Edition (new)
4. A Million Ways To Die In The West (new)
5. Million Dollar Arm (new)
6. Neighbors
7. The Fault In Our Stars
8. Godzilla
9. Dragon Ball Z: Battle Of Gods (new)
10. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Top 10 Rentals
1. Transformers: Age Of Extinction (new)
2. Brick Mansions
3. Blended
4. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
5. Million Dollar Arm (new)
6. Think Like A Man Too
7. The Other Woman
8. Moms' Night Out
9. Draft Day
10. Are You Here
A few notes:
- These charts don't have any raw numbers attached, so I don't know how many units Edge Of Tomorrow had to shift to hit No. 1.
- I also find it interesting that Edge Of Tomorrow isn't on the rental chart at all, and that Transformers: Age Of Extinction is listed as "new," even though it went on sale September 30. Ordinarily, I'd assume some lag in the data-gathering, except that Million Dollar Arm is "new" on both charts. The Variety article suggests that the disconnect is due to some titles not being widely available at all rental outlets (like Redbox) on the same week that they're available to buy.
- I'm not all that surprised to see the likes of Blended, The Other Woman, and Moms' Night Out on the rental chart, because those are the kind of movies that people rent, not buy. It's interesting though to see Are You Here there, because it speaks to the power of stars. That film is pretty awful, but a box cover with Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, and Amy Poehler is bound to entice some renters.
- Fun tidbit from the Variety article: "Edge Of Tomorrow generated 62 percent of its first-week sales from the Blu-ray Disc version, compared to 47 percent for A Million Ways To Die In The West and just 27 percent for Million Dollar Arm." (This suggests a hefty overlap between the kind of people who own Blu-ray players and the kind of people interested in Edge Of Tomorrow.)
- How many people bought one "Million" movie thinking they were getting the other?

Today we caught the Jet Black bus from Aldermaston but for a change went to Reading and did some window shopping. Neither of us are good window shoppers, we like to have a clear objective rather than just browsing. To enforce some motivation we decided to look for a suitable kettle for the top of the Refleks stove and some crates to fit onto the folding sack trolley. Success with the latter but only an idea for the former. It's interesting to realise how focussed you get about being a minimalist when it comes to possessions living on a boat. We previously searched very thoroughly to find a suitable folding sack trolley which was low cost, robust, and would fit into the available small alcove. Jan has also recognised there will be times when large delivers of groceries will have to be carried back to Waiouru. Rather than develop arms of a gorilla we're going to attempt to use the sack trolley. But the plastic and canvas bags don't sit all that well on the "toe" of the trolley. We need something that is both rigid and doesn't take up much room. We may have found the solution.
Jan found these in Wilkinsons. It's a plastic crate rated at 12kg and she purchased two.
The crate collapses
And is then just over 1" thick
They both fit into the sack trolley alcove and have actually stopped it rattling.
Jan has also been waving her crochet needle about. Last year Marian (nb Duxllandyn) kindly sent her some wool. Jan has been considering how to use it and it looks like she had come to a decision. We have rubber foam bungs for the portholes
This is Jan's second attempt as she wasn't satisfied with her first effort. Notice the colours of the wool Marian sent Jan are the same as Waiouru! Thank you Marian……..
The last thing I will mention is there has been a rather odious smell in the boat during the last 24 hours. I didn't want to give offence so kept my opinion to myself. However Jan took off one of her slippers and gave it a sniff before replacing it. She subsequently told me she though the smell was coming from me (I don't know why she'd think that?). In the end she realised the contents of the galley rubbish bin had started to ferment in the warmth of the cabin. Nice to know I don't have a personal hygiene problem!

Learn about our editorial policy Derrick Carpenter Updated on May 02, 2019 FatCamera / Getty Images More in Self-Improvement Happiness Meditation Stress Management Spirituality Holistic Health Inspiration Brain Health Technology Relationships View All Wherever people are working together, empathy is a force working like gravity to maintain order and cooperation. It's the mechanism that allows us to understand and relate to others and is a necessary precursor to intimacy, trust, and belonging. And it is the feeling that makes it difficult to turn a blind eye to the suffering of others. It shouldn't be a surprise that empathic people experience a number of happiness benefits. Empathy often encourages altruistic behavior, and empathy-based kindness has been shown to increase cooperation and forgiveness, strengthen relationships, decrease aggression and judgment, and even improve mental and physical health. Research does show that happier people tend to be less aware of negative emotions in others despite rating themselves as being more empathic. But we can practice empathy, regardless of what mood we're in so that we create greater happiness for ourselves and others. Here are the 3 key components of empathy, plus tips you can try with the people in your life. Make Listening a Priority Before we can connect with what someone else is feeling, we have to recognize what that feeling is. But how often do we really make listening deeply a priority in our conversations? When a good friend calls you and needs to vent about how stressful work has been or how tough things have been since her recent breakup, the emotion in their voice usually gets our attention pretty quickly. It gets harder when conversations are happening amidst distractions and with less obvious emotional weight. Empathy begins when we set the intention of listening for emotion. One barrier most of us have to paying close attention to the emotion in others is the emotion going on front-and-center in ourselves. When we're having a conversation and are looking only at our own feelings and how we can communicate them, we're not leaving enough attention available to take in what's going on at the other end. Empathy-Building Strategy: Talk to strangers. Make it a point to begin conversations with people you meet and see across your day-to-day interactions. The clerk at the grocery store. The woman sitting next to you on the bus. While engaging in the conversation, pay particular attention to what that person is feeling. Notice body language cues. Tones of voice. Subtle shifts in energy. Manage both the distractions and your own feelings that could easily grab your attention and work on staying emotionally attuned throughout the conversation. Share Their Feelings Once we recognize emotion in another person, empathy puts us squarely in that person's shoes. Empathy is not feeling what you would feel in that situation. It is stepping beside yourself and adopting their emotion for a few moments. Some research suggests that we succeed at this task by virtue of mirror neurons, or brain pathways that fire whether we're experiencing the stimulus or we see someone else experience it. Mirror neurons are responsible for getting your heart racing when you admire athletes running through a stadium at your favorite sporting event. Or making you recoil in pain when watching unfortunate blunders on "America's Funniest Home Videos". When we become immersed in someone else's grief, sadness, or irritation, we can not only stand next to them and console them with greater understanding, but we also send a message that we're willing to take on a painful emotion so that they don't have to go it alone. Empathy-Building Strategy: Open up. Empathic connections are a two-way street. And while allowing yourself to fully take in another person's emotion will enhance your relationships, you really dig your heels in when you are willing to be vulnerable to others. When you share experiences of your own challenging emotions, like guilt, anxiety, and shame, you create opportunities for others to empathize with you. Being vulnerable strengthens your own empathy in two ways. First, feeling the value of empathy when it's reflected back to you can deepen your commitment to being empathic for others. And second, you gain more comfort negotiating tough emotions in conversations with others. It's not easy to hold onto a conversation about painful emotions, but if you deliberately train this ability in yourself by taking advantage of the opportunities when you have an emotion to share, you'll be better equipped for the receiving end. Relieve Someone's Suffering by Taking Action If empathy rests at sharing in negative emotion, happiness can suffer. When we feel deep sadness for victims of a natural disaster, we are getting closer to putting ourselves in their shoes. But we are not in their shoes, and that's an important distinction. Just feeling someone else's pain, while it may enhance a sense of belonging and being understood if communicated, doesn't maximize our opportunity to enhance wellbeing. The advantage of knowing what another person is going through is that we can better identify what they need. And because empathy means we're adopting the emotion but not the tough situation that gave rise to it, we are usually in a more empowered place to help. In other words, for empathy to be most effective and maximize well-being, we have to feel both the pain of another and also the optimism that we are not as pained and can do something about it. In a study where participants watched another person receive electric shocks and were given a choice to help her by taking the remaining shocks themselves, people high in empathy were more likely to step in and help even when they could simply turn away and not watch anymore. Effective empathy allows those participants to feel the pain of the shock enough that they want to help, but not so much that they are reluctant to take it on themselves. Empathy-Building Strategy: Take action. When we take on another person's painful emotions, we need to hold onto ourselves enough to see that we are better able to relieve the pain than they are. Whether that means consoling a friend, buying a small gift for someone who needs it or donating to causes helping natural disaster victims, we make empathy effective when we use it as motivation to do something. When you see someone else going through a hard time, be sure to listen and share, but also clearly identify what you can do to help. The follow-through on empathy means initiating positive change for others. And the beautiful thing about empathy is that when others begin to flourish, so do we. Was this page helpful?
