The Palestinian Resistance and Its Enemies
Responding to Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other resistance forces in the Gaza Strip's rejection of the so-called "ceasefire proposal," Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas lamented, "The Palestinian factions' refusal to deal with the Egyptian proposal for ceasefire with Israel has disappointed all of us." That ceasefire called for the end of rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, but said nothing of the Israeli occupation, siege, ...Keep Reading »
The Beginning of the End of Palestinian Security Coordination with Israel?
While Mahmoud Abbas's infamous speech at the conference of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has sparked widespread condemnation and outrage among Palestinians, it has also provoked renewed questioning of the increasingly suspicious role of the Palestinian Authority's (PA) security sector. In his speech, Abbas defended security coordination with Israel under any and all circumstances, claiming that such coordination is a "Palestinian national interest." Meanwhile, he ...Keep Reading »

لمحة عامة تكافح غالبية الفلسطينيين الرازحين تحت الاحتلال الإسرائيلي من أجل البقاء على قيد الحياة، وفي الوقت نفسه تشهد فئةٌ متنفذةٌ من الرأسماليين الفلسطينيين ازدهارًا وتناميًا في نفوذها السياسي والاقتصادي والاجتماعي. وغالبًا ما يكون ثمن ذلك الازدهار مشاركتهم في مشاريع التطبيع الاقتصادي. أي أن هؤلاء الرأسماليين الفلسطينيين يتعاملون مع الإسرائيليين كما لو كانوا شريكًا تجاريًا "طبيعيًا" وليس قوةً محتلة ما انفكت تنتهك حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني بلا رحمة منذ ما يزيد على 65 ...Keep Reading »
The Palestinian Capitalists That Have Gone Too Far
While most Palestinians living under Israeli occupation are struggling to survive, a powerful group of Palestinian capitalists is thriving and growing in political, economic and social influence. The cost, all too often, is their engagement in economic normalization projects. In other words, they deal with the Israelis as though they were a "normal" business partner rather than an occupying power that has ruthlessly violated Palestinian rights for over sixty-five ...Keep Reading »

Robin Van Persie is set to snub any interest from Manchester City this month to remain at Arsenal until at least the end of the season.
The Premier League leaders are expected to move for the 28-year-old if they can off-load wantaway striker Carlos Tevez to AC Milan in this transfer window.
City value Van Persie at £30million, given he has just 18 months remaining on his contract, but the Gunners will rebuff any approach unless the player indicates a willingness to leave.
Standard Sport understands Van Persie has privately reiterated his desire to stay at the club he joined from Feyenoord in 2004 and has confirmed to manager Arsene Wenger his intention to lead the team until May.
However, the Dutchman will review his position at the end of the season, with Arsenal ready to stave off a host of top clubs with an offer that would make Van Persie the highest-paid player at the club.
He earns £80,000 a week but the Gunners are preparing to break their pay structure to ensure Van Persie stays. The real bidding war is expected in the summer, with City and Barcelona set to test Van Persie's desire to stay and Arsenal's resolve.
The Gunners decided to cash in on Samir Nasri by accepting City's £24m bid last summer after the Frenchman entered the final year of his contract indicating he would not sign an extension.
Wenger is desperate to keep Van Persie but Arsenal's performance in the second half of the campaign will be a pivotal factor in the striker's decision as he wants to compete at the top level.
Qualifying for the Champions League is the minimum expectation but Arsenal presently lie fifth in the table and face AC Milan in the last 16 of this season's competition - a tie Tevez would be ineligible for were he to join the Italians, having played for City during the group stage.
Van Persie carries a deep affection for Arsenal - he is the longest-serving foreign player at a Premier League club besides Bolton duo Ricardo Gardner and Jussi Jaaskelainen - but is thought to want assurances he is with a team that can win silverware.Reuse content

The cornerstone of their prediction is that the higher the price, the lower the number of books sold. So virtually every extra pound produced for the taxman by imposing VAT on books would come from publishers' revenues.
They calculate that VAT at the full rate would lead to a 15 per cent drop in sales. With profit margins down to a new low of 2.4 per cent, few publishers would be able to absorb the increase.
That in turn, so the theory goes, would trigger all manner of Armageddon-style consequences - from cutting the number of titles produced each year to hastening the demise of the net book agreement and the small local bookshop.
Of course, people have been wrong about the end of the world before. And at least there is still time to stock up on VATless copies of the Book of Revelation.

Sprouts Layber

Sprouts Layber is the central brain of the Black Inpulse Empire, and appears as the final boss of Thunder Cross II. Sprouts Layber consists of a massive cybernetic monstrosity filled with yellow wires, powered by a core crystal within a glass-like sphere. It enters from behind before joining with the center of the device to actiate it. At the end, it exploded, spelling doom for the Black Inpulse empire.
Attack Pattern
In the first phase, it shoots destructible clones of its core crystal. Eventually it switches to its second phase, and begins shooting red lasers in addition to its crystals. The lasers only fill a specific range, but the crystals can complicate dodging.
- The core of Sprouts Layber resembles a Core Crystal.

Luxury cruises just got a little more expensive. Word from the industry is that prices for sailings later this year have been pushed up by the big players, in a move that bodes well for results from Carnival, the US giant which swallowed P&O Princess Cruises last year.
Luxury cruises just got a little more expensive. Word from the industry is that prices for sailings later this year have been pushed up by the big players, in a move that bodes well for results from Carnival, the US giant which swallowed P&O Princess Cruises last year.
Carnival shares steamed ahead yesterday, up 41p to 2,427p, and shrugged off recent worries that the high oil price has inflated fuel costs.
Deutsche Bank, issuing a research note yesterday, said fears over costs have been overdone by the market, which has pushed Carnival shares down from a peak of 2,603p last month. The German-owned broker slapped a new "buy" recommendation on the stock, even though it cut profit forecasts in anticipation of Carnival's next trading update, which will have to outline the extent of the fuel rises.
Word of rising cruise-prices will come as relief to those who had feared that an increase in capacity would depress margins as the year goes on. More ships are making more sailings as the industry responds to recovering demand, and bears of Carnival shares had previously argued that the company had moved too fast in a bid to grab market share.
There was plenty of corporate news yesterday to occupy traders, which meant they had less time for fretting over the future direction of the economy. For those of a nervous disposition, a positive trading update from the economically-sensitive chemicals group ICI eased minds. The company, often described as a "bellwether", said demand was improving, it was on track to meet all its financial targets, and the dividend policy remains intact. Up 14p to 214p, it was the FTSE 100's best performer, and helped the index of blue-chip companies close up 20.3 points at 4,438.3.
There was also big buying of Marks & Spencer amid vague talk that the beleaguered retail giant would fall prey to a bid. According to one story, a merchant bank was already poring over the numbers on behalf of a mystery client. Last time M&S lost its way, at the turn of the millennium, it attracted the interest of one Philip Green, and the talk again is of private equity interest. On Tuesday, the chief executive Roger Holmes - newly liberated of his chairman, Luc Vandevelde - promised a massive overhaul of the business. M&S shares closed up 10.25p at 290.5p.
The other retail sector basket case, J Sainsbury, looked like it was heading in the other direction, bottom of the FTSE 100 performance table with a 7.25p dip to 265.75p. But as of yesterday, buyers were no longer eligible for the final dividend of almost 11.4p, so the stock held up very well indeed. That was despite a very bearish note from Smith Barney, whose analysts were among those who went in to see the chief executive, Justin King, for breakfast yesterday. They came away unimpressed. Having hoped for some strategic vision for reversing Sainsbury's market share decline, Mr King "pleaded the fifth amendment" on most key questions, according to Smith Barney.
Among the smaller retailers, Peacock, the discounter, was up a penny on talk of very strong trading. And Big Food Group, the owner of Iceland, was off 5p at 101p ahead of full-year results due today.
Teleunit became the first Italian company to take a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange, joining the junior AIM with a £10m placing. The company has a telecoms licence in Umbria, Northern Italy, and wants to expand into neighbouring regions. The stock closed at 21.5p, up 1.5p from its placing price. Michelmersh, a brick maker, was up from a placing price of 56p to 65p on its first day, having raised £5.2m on AIM.
Vislink, the broadcasting hardware company chaired by the serial entrepreneur Bob Morton, said its first-half profits would fall below expectations because of poor trading in the UK, sending its shares down 2.25p to 27.25p.
A website tip sent shares in Ideal Shopping Direct up 3.5p to 77.5p. The company's TV shopping channel launched recently on Freeview, giving it access to another 3 million potential viewers. And news that an analyst on an investment website had recommended selling Marchpole, the designer of YSL-branded menswear, left its shares languishing a ha'penny lower at 18.75p despite director share buying.
Ofex-listed GSC Property - a diverse little landlord whose portfolio includes the largest single-screen cinema in Liverpool, the busiest banking hall in south-east Essex, the largest pub in Canterbury and the newest drive-thru restaurant in Birmingham - published, alongside its first annual results, the tantalising promise to improve the use, and presumably the profitability, of some properties where tenants have unused or under-utilised space. Brokers are hoping for more details at the annual shareholder meeting on 29 June. GSC shares were steady at 84.5p.Reuse content

Reviewed by
Dawn was first-class in helping me through the most difficult time in my life. After years of being in a toxic relationship, I separated and had to fight for custody of the children.
Read More
I was dealing with a problematic ex, Children's Aid, and the overwhelming emotions involved in separation and knowing the children needed protection. Dawn guided me through the process and made it manageable. She answered my questions, and also took time to even speak with my family members who were always concerned about the situation. Now that I know that I will get custody of my children and that they will be cared for emotionally, physically, and mentally I can focus on spending time together.
Gary had helped me when I needed some advice. He was very sincere and helpful. I appreciate his honesty and integrity. I would recommend Gary to my friends and family.
~ K. P., Financial Advisor
When I had my first consultation with Dawn Bennett, I immediately knew how very fortunate I was to find someone with all the qualities I was looking for and the personality to honestly and firmly consider all the factors without cutting corners or compromising personal or professional integrity.
Read More
Dawn takes the time to ask all the right questions, encourages you to ask questions yourself and very clearly explains all your legal rights/obligations and the different options available, with focus on least acrimonious approach. Her legal briefs, correspondences and documentary submissions are of such a consistently high quality that I am truly amazed. The care and attention that she extends to my case shows a total understanding that there is no one size fit all solution to your unique situation.
A divorce is never a frivolous exercise but a serious life changing event, I am very blessed to have Dawn as my legal counsel through this very traumatic transition. I am tempted to say never, since no one should be so unfortunate, but I will safely say, should I ever have to go through this experience again, I would be a very happy return client.
I was a new immigrant to Canada and raising two young children when my husband filed for divorce. Now, not only was I adjusting to a new country but I had to do it alone. I had no contacts, no money and knew nothing about the legal system here. Dawn Bennett was recommended to me by a colleague of hers and from the moment I met her, I felt I had finally found a safe place.
Read More
She helped me navigate the divorce process with patience, confidence, honesty and a competitive spirit that brought me to where I am right now... "A calm & determined force, she put her soul into my case
Dawn helped make me become stronger woman, she helped me become more confident and because of Dawn, I can take my kids to school every day, I have a home to live in, I can take care of my own life, and even have time to volunteer to help others.
Gary is very knowledgeable and thorough. He provides legal service that is second to none. He takes the time to listen, then provides valuable recommendations.
~ R. G., VOIP Engineer
I'd been separated for a while before I found Dawn Bennett. It was a huge step to hire a lawyer but I felt really comfortable with her. She understood I wanted a safe environment for my kids and my (now ex) husband.
Read More
I know I would have had pressure from other lawyers to "get the most for myself!" but that was not the case with Dawn. She allowed me take a more peaceful and gentle approach to the divorce. She understood when there were certain things I didn't want to do but helped me to understand what HAD to be done under the law.
She is very professional and knows her stuff!!! What Dawn does is important to the community and I support her 100%.
I can't ever thank Gary enough for everything he did for me. I felt as if my world was turned upside down, and everything I had worked so hard for had been taken away. Not only did Gary get the results I wanted, but the professional and caring manner in which it was handled has left a lasting impression on me.
I was in the process of a messy divorce with a lawyer I just couldn't connect with. The situation I was in was abusive and getting worse. Dawn knows the law and what needs to be done. She explained step by step what had to happen and why each step had to be taken.
Read More
You can't skip steps...as much as I may have wanted to at times. In fact, to save fees, she backed off for 8 months at one point knowing that nothing was going to happen anyway...many lawyers would have capitalized on the "messiness of the divorce" to make more money!
I regard Dawn as a friend and an excellent lawyer, she understands the law, she is organized and exemplifies professionalism!
Gary Bennett helped me with an employment law matter, and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. He acted in a professional, ethical, and knowledgeable manner that gave me confidence and assurance that the outcome was fair. He listened to my issues and was able to provide me with exceptional legal advice. I highly recommend Gary to anyone who needs professional legal advice.
Dawn is a gifted, compassionate and generous person. She made it her goal to keep my cost down as much as possible. It's good knowing you're with someone talking the same language, who is not motivated by personal gain. I would recommend her without any hesitation... in fact, I told a friend of mine about her when he was facing his own divorce and he was every bit as satisfied with her services and the outcome.
Dear Mr. Bennett, I would like to thank you very much for the service that I received from your attorneys. I was very much pleased, and when I called, the promptness of returning the phone call was great. If I have friends or family who need these services, I will be sure to give them your name.
When I found myself in need of a labour lawyer, a family member recommended Gary. I now understand why. Gary was incredible. He asked me lots of good questions. He gathered all the information. He gave me many valuable tips about labour law and pitfalls to avoid in the future. I have no hesitation in recommending Gary to anyone seeking thorough, wise counsel. I would definitely call him again.

My spouse wants a divorce, but I do not. How can I stop this process?
You may attempt to reconcile with your spouse if he or she is agreeable. The law dictates that one spouse may move towards dissolution without the consent of the other if one or more of the following claims can be established:
Separation for one or more years
Cruelty which has made ongoing cohabitation intolerable
My spouse and I have just separated. Must we wait one year before applying for divorce?
Cases in which separation is the ground for divorce must adhere to the one year timeline. Cases in which the grounds for divorce is something other than separation, such as adultery, may enter into divorce proceedings at any time after one or both spouses have decided to separate.
Is a separation agreement needed to file for divorce?
It is not necessary to have a separation agreement. However, the application process may be expedited if the issues surrounding your case have been finalized in a separation agreement prior to applying for divorce.
My divorce has not been finalized and I am in a relationship with someone else. Am I legally able to get engaged, and would this affect the outcome of my divorce?
There is no law stating that you must wait until the finalization of divorce to become engaged with another person. Engagement is a verbal promise requiring no license, nor does being engaged generate the rights and responsibilities that come with marriage.
Before remarrying, you must get a new marriage license. In order to apply for a marriage license, you must get a Certificate of Divorce, which you may apply for after receiving your Divorce Judgment. Neither of these documents are necessary before becoming engaged.
Canada has a no-fault stance on divorce, so a new engagement should not affect your current divorce proceedings, or the outcome. The legal basis for divorce is the establishment of claims of adultery, separation of a year or more, or some form of cruelty that makes cohabitation intolerable.
This does not mean that an engagement before your divorce is finalized could not have consequences. If your ex-spouse feels spiteful, he or she may tamper with the process, prolonging resolution in one area or another, such as the division of property, spousal or child support, child custody, or visitation. An ongoing divorce can greatly hamper the enjoyment that should be a part of engagement and wedding planning. For peace of mind, you may wish to keep your engagement to yourself until you have received your Divorce Judgment.
Child Support
Because I ended my relationship and left with the kids, my ex is refusing to provide any financial support. What can I do?
Regardless of the circumstances of a divorce, children are entitled to the financial support of the parent they do not live with.
If your ex is unwilling to provide this support, a family lawyer may be of service. With the help of a family lawyer, you can obtain a court order requiring the payment of child support.
Additionally, a family lawyer can provide information of other orders that may be instituted for the protection of your children's interests, as well as your own.
How much child support am I entitled to if I separate from my spouse?
In Ontario, the Federal Child Support Guidelines determine the amount of child support in a given case. The guidelines give consideration to the number of children entitled to support, as well as the payor's annual income.
In addition to the base amount dictated by the guidelines, a contribution to special or extraordinary expenses specified for the children may also be awarded. Special or extraordinary expenses, to which both parties contribute, are not based on the Federal Guidelines, but with each parent's income in mind, as well as the necessity of the given expense or expenses.
My ex wants to pay less support than what is detailed in our final court order. Is this allowed?
Changes to the final court order may be made at any time. However, the requestor must demonstrate a change in circumstances validating the requested change. This material change must be sufficiently significant to prove the original orders are no longer appropriate, such as a reduction in the payor's annual income. This reduction would be assessed based on the Federal Child Support Guidelines, and child support reduced accordingly.
My ex works for cash and says he/she is unemployed. How can I ensure child support is paid appropriately?
It is quite difficult to prove details of income when someone works for cash and does not provide adequate earnings statements to the CRA. In instances where one person is intentionally unemployed or under-employed, it is possible that the court may order child support based on what it deems an appropriate amount. This is not always the case, but may be possible if specific legal arguments are adequately made.
Access to Children
My ex is not allowing visitation with our kids. What can I do?
Visitation with each parent is an automatic entitlement granted to children, provided that they are not at risk of harm. Ideally, issues surrounding visitation can be discussed between you and your ex, without the court's intervention. This scenario would save time, money, and frustration.
If your ex refuses to discuss visitation, or your discussion is not productive, then a family lawyer can be consulted to assess the circumstances surrounding your case, and help you obtain any necessary orders from the court pertaining to visitation.
Additionally, your family lawyer can provide information on other orders that may affect visitation or your children's interests, as well as your own.
Traveling with children/ passports for children
I have legal, sole custody of my children. Does this allow me to obtain passports and travel outside of Canada without the written permission of my ex?
No. Having custody of your children is an entirely different legal issue from applying for passports and traveling outside the country.
In response to increased custody disputes and instances of child abduction, passport and border authorities have become far stricter in regards to travel with children. There is a possibility that a particular border official may allow you to travel outside of the country with your children when presented with a sole custody order. However, there is no guarantee.
Challenges with travel plans can be avoided by having clear wording in your court order stating which parent is authorized to retain children's passports, and whether the consent of either parent is required for international travel.

Reviews of Island Shores Senior Residences

I am a friend or relative of a resident
I have my mother at Island Shores. It is clean. It is close to my home. They are very friendly, and I have a lot of good feedback from the people in the community. I speak to a lot of them, and they like it there. The rooms are very nice, very clean, and spacious. I think the food is very good. I am happy with the food, and my mom is happy with the food. She has only been there two month, but I guess she is doing fine. She socializes in bingo and whatever else they have going on there. The staff is very good.

I visited this facility
Island Shores is an older building but very well-kept. The rooms were small, but the people seemed well-cared-for. They had a nice dining room. The lunch was pretty crowded, but they seemed to be enjoying their meals. They go on trips and have parties. The price was reasonable. I was impressed with them.

I visited this facility
I visited Island Shores for my stepmother. They have very nice living quarters and a lot of activities. They have friendly staff. The facility seemed well taken care of. The other facility was just better than this one. At Island Shores, you can't get a room with a view of the ocean. It didn't appear to be a place where seniors could really go for a walk to get to a store on their own.

I visited this facility
I have visited this place many times in my field and I cannot recommend it enough. Quality care mixed with quality surroundings. Excellent and safe location with views of the water and gated walkways. Also the best bang for your buck on Staten Island-skip the name brands-or it will cost you $$$.

Dawn of the Vie
Laura Diamond
(Immortal Aliens, #1)
Published by: Curiosity Quills Press
Publication date: October 3rd 2016
Genres: Dystopian, Science Fiction, Young Adult
Since their Arrival less than 30 years ago, immortal Vie rule the planet like the super-predators they are. Enslaved humans are their servants…their entertainment…and their food. Anemies—humans with various types of anemia—are simply exterminated. Their nutritionally deficient blood is useless to the Vie.
Or so it's thought…
Alex, an Elite Vie, is a bit of a Renaissance Alien. Part scientist, part Raid Specialist, part drug addict, he knows Anemie blood is valuable. Rather than blindly carrying out his boss's kill order, he convinces some colleagues to spare a few Anemies, not only for study, but also to reserve a secret stock.
The more Anemie blood Alex drinks, the more he slips into delusion, and the more his double life threatens to crumble. But quitting Anemie blood is not an option. Every Anemie has their own personal flavor. Each gives a unique high.
When Alex takes a hit of Justin's blood, his hallucinations bleed into reality…
Anemie Justin knows his little sister, Sammie, and he are living past their expiration dates. It becomes a guarantee when they're bitten by a Vie named Alex during a raid. (The bite is fatal, thanks to a toxin carried in Vie saliva.) Alex adds insult to injury by promising Justin a second chance—an antidote in exchange for agreeing to be a lab rat.
And a mule…of his own blood.
When Justin says no, Alex takes off with Sammie.
All Justin has to do is find them, beat Alex, and cure himself and Sammie. All he has is a stake and serious lack of self-preservation.
No problem.
Alex wants Justin's blood.
Justin wants his sister back.
My Review
(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I wavered a bit on how many stars to give this book. In the end, I would settle on 3.5 stars.
It was interesting to see a slightly unique take on the vampire myth, though I would have liked some more details about exactly why the Vie looked humanoid… especially considering what was revealed about them as the book went on.
I found Justin to be an intriguing character, even though I felt he was a bit cliched in the apocalyptic hero genre. It was good to see him more on the lookout for himself and his sister, though, rather than a typical self-sacrificing dark and brooding hero.
While I liked the fact that the book stayed with one first person perspective, I was a bit lost about exactly what had happened when the Vie invaded Earth. I would have liked a bit more detail about the history and how Justin's father fit into all of it.
I did find Alex to be quite an intriguing character, even though I didn't like or trust him. I would have liked some more detail about exactly what drove him… what his motivations were. While he skirted around telling Justin much… there were glimmers of a deeper depth to him that I would have liked to see further expanded upon.
I didn't really like the romance that developed between Justin and Cara, mostly because I originally saw Cara as not much older than his sister… but I didn't feel there was any real chemistry between her and Justin either way.
While I really had a strong dislike for Margaret, I did find her an intriguing character and I would have liked to see more of the Vie in general… in particular those who cared about the humans, even though even those members of the Vie didn't seem to care as much as they could have done.
I liked seeing some of the secondary characters and it was especially interesting to see what happened with many of the other humans. Despite some problems with this book, I would be interested in reading the next book/s in this series in the future.
I hated afternoons the most. Soon after came darkness—the time when a raiding squad could snatch you out of bed and drain all the blood from your body. It was amazing that any Anemies survived with the extermination campaign ridding the world of us red blood cell-deficient freaks.
I gently squeezed my sister's hand to make sure she kept up. Dirt caked under her fingernails like it caked under mine. The cuff of her torn sleeve had stains like mine. Her pant cuffs were rolled up six times… also like mine. A younger version of me—mouthiness and all—in girl form. Unlike me, Sammie tended to dawdle, and since we held onto the last rung of the society ladder by the tips of our fingers, giving in to distraction could get us hurt—or killed.
My gaze jumped to the pale, indifferent sky then jittered to the partially constructed biodome edge as I walked. Large, clear panels filled the metal framework in a beehive of hexagons. Eventually, the damn thing would cover the entire city, including the river surrounding the island and part of the ocean capping the south side. The project had been progressing since before I was born.
Once the construction workers completed the biodome, Vie wouldn't have to fear the destructive UV rays of our sun and could wander freely during the day. We'd have no safe period whatsoever. Vie could get us any time.

It's been three months since mild-mannered Christopher Buckley began working with Olivia Faraday, the eccentric Deathsniffer. They've hunted killers, solved murders, and learned to work together. But their greatest challenges are yet to come…
As a brutal heat wave wracks an increasingly unstable Darrington City, someone is killing young priests. Worse, they are using bound elementals to do it. As Chris and Olivia contend with rogue spiritbinders and a church under siege, the clock ticks down toward the trial of Doctor Francis Livingstone, accused of orchestrating the fall of the Floating Castle and the death of thousands. Chris believes the doctor is innocent, but the tide of the conspiracy aligned against him is strong enough to wash away anyone who would stand for him.
How far is Chris willing to go to save the doctor? Can Darrington city survive the rival forces tearing it apart? And can Olivia find her first serial killer before another body drops?

(This review may contain spoilers).
Although I haven't read the previous two books in this trilogy, I did find this one really easy to follow. It was really good to be able to learn more about Charlotte's past as Brady did… and although there were some sudden changes in the character's perspectives, for the most part, it wasn't confusing to suddenly end up in the other's head.
I did think that the development of the romance was sweet, even though I felt a lot of the book was spent with Charlotte and Brady being told by their friends to get their acts together. And there was one part in particular when I felt Colum's priorities were really skewed.
I would have liked to see a bit more of Charlotte's interactions with her friends… and I would have also liked to see something of Brady interacting with his team members. Since he was insistent on the fact he trusted his team not to be a leak, it would have been good to see that trust borne out.
I thought that Charlotte's ideas for articles were really good and I also thought it was good to see her motivations behind doing those. I think it would have been good to see more of her interactions with Dennis, as by the time he cropped up again towards the end of the book, I'd more or less forgotten who he was.
I did think the romance moved a little too quickly, considering the hang-ups both of the main characters had. I did like the fact they had something in common in regards to the classic novels and it was good to see that there was a lot of conflict in their relationship.
I did feel a lot of sympathy towards Helen and although the book was slow-moving with the action to begin with, by the end, I felt it picked up a lot more and I was avidly reading to see what would happen next.
In the future, it would be good to read the other books in this trilogy and also other books by this author… but it would be good to see more of the other characters and their relationships.

There is a new twist in applying for release from the burdensome requirements of Megan's Law registration and Parole/Community Supervision for Life. When the original Megan's Law Order is entered in New Jersey and the person has subsequently moved to another State, some County Prosecutors may object to an application to vacate the registration/notification Order, asserting a lack of jurisdiction. States have their own variations of offenses that require registration and the type of notification issues that result. This has been viewed by some prosecutor's as depriving New Jersey of the jurisdictional authority to vacate its own original registration/notification Order. That a registrant resides in another State should not deny that person the ability to return to New Jersey and seek a modification of the original New Jersey Order.
In New Jersey applications to be released from Megan's Law registration/notification and parole supervision for life are required to be filed in the County where the person resides. The problem arises when a person has moved out of state and no longer resides in New Jersey. Where does an applicant file to successfully get both relief from supervision as well as relief from registration/notification? The logical place to file if one resides out of state is in the County in New Jersey where the conviction occurred. That is where it gets a little screwy. Some County Prosecutors are taking the position that while an out of state resident may move to be relieved from the supervision requirement, because the person resides in another state, the prosecutor may take the position that courts in New Jersey do not have jurisdiction to vacate the registration requirement. The prosecutor's rationale is that because each state may have its own requirements for what offenses must be registered and what notification requirements that state may demand, that New Jersey does not have jurisdiction to vacate its own registration/notification Order. Another state's registration requirements should have no impact on whether an out of state registrant cannot come back to New Jersey to get the original New Jersey Order vacated.
Both Megan's Law and the parole supervision for life statutes specifically provide for and envision a defendant's release from these requirements upon a showing that the defendant has not been convicted of another crime and does not pose a danger to the safety of anyone. The pertinent part of N.J.S.A. 2C:7-2 provides:
- Except as provided in subsection g. of this section, a person required to register under this act may make application to the Superior Court of this State to terminate the obligation upon proof that the person has not committed an offense within 15 years following conviction or release from a correctional facility for any term of imprisonment imposed, whichever is later, and is not likely to pose a threat to the safety of others.
- A person required to register under this section who has been convicted of, adjudicated delinquent, or acquitted by reason of insanity for more than one sex offense as defined in subsection b. of this section or who has been convicted of, adjudicated delinquent, or acquitted by reason of insanity for aggravated sexual assault pursuant to subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:14-2 or sexual assault pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection c. of N.J.S.2C:14-2 is not eligible under subsection f. of this section to make application to the Superior Court of this State to terminate the registration obligation.
There is a reason this relief has been provided for by statute – the common sense recognition that there can be a point in time where such conditions are no longer required. When a person has demonstrated that he, or she, is not a threat and should be relieved of the intense conditions imposed by Megan's Law.
In fact, in many cases it may be appropriately argued that there is a certain point in time that imposing such stringent parole supervision is not only unnecessary, but is counterproductive to the social adjustment and success of a Megan's supervisee. For offenders subject to the Megan's Law provisions over 15 years, it is time to assess whether they qualify for release from these provisions.
A person with a conviction in New Jersey, regardless of where they live, should be able, if eligible, to be released from the burdens imposed by registration and supervision to have those restrictions vacated as to the State of New Jersey. An out of state resident should be able to make an application to vacate a New Jersey registration/notification Order. Common logic dictates that an Order vacating registration/notification would have the effect of eliminating the registration/notification requirement in the State of New Jersey. It would then be the out of state resident's option to make a separate application in the state of residence to be released from that state's requirements. The benefit of the vacating the original New Jersey registration/notification requirement would be to assist in the registrant's application for relief in the registrant's home state.
To deny a worthy applicant of relief from registration/notification in the state of New Jersey because they have moved to another state makes little sense. If the registrant qualifies for discharge from Megan's Law registration/notification, the registrant should not have to move back to New Jersey to secure the same statutory rights as a New Jersey resident. This is an issue that has to be litigated properly so that those applicants worthy of relief, who have been clear for over 15 years, who have established a stable and productive life, who pose no danger to anyone, should have the original New Jersey Order for registration/notification vacated.

text: Retrofit Guide for Building Automation 07/01/2015 | By Janelle Penny How to cut through the hype and find the best system for you Untitled Document Building automation systems (BAS) can do so much more than energy management. Intuitive interfaces can help FMs find hot spots, catch malfunctioning equipment, and target maintenance where it's most needed. The market is flush with options for your facility, but buying one of these systems is a complex decision that must be customized for each building. Maximize your investment and hit the ground running with these BAS purchasing tips. Scalability from the Start It can be tempting to focus on your building's biggest energy hog (typically lighting or HVAC) at this stage. However, tackling this first is short-sighted. Focus on your broader goal first – for example, reducing energy consumption – and then return to more specific objectives, such as trimming lighting-related energy use first. Aim for a BAS that can expand to control additional building systems later if you're satisfied with the initial savings. "People tend to say 'I need an HVAC control system' because that has historically been the biggest energy load in a building. They don't realize that with broader solutions, they can save a lot more," says Danny Yu, CEO of Daintree Networks, which develops wireless controls for building automation. "That's the benefit of technology that has emerged in the last few years from companies that are more software-centric. In the past, companies were more focused on selling hardware, not on giving users more applications – like how phones were 10 or 15 years ago." Arby's Restaurant Group took a similar path when they investigated HVAC improvements a few years ago. The initial plan – deploying programmable thermostats that would save 4-5% on each restaurant's electric bill – quickly expanded once the team found a scalable BAS that would increase savings by enabling more control than a thermostat would provide. Their chosen system also allows greater visibility and performance tracking. The system has since been installed in roughly 880 restaurants and manages more than 2,600 HVAC systems. Another 60 restaurants will receive the solution this year. "Our goals were simple – standardize our thermostats across our portfolio and manage setbacks to a company standard to benefit the savings offered from a proven technology," says Frank Inoa, director of engineering for Arby's Restaurant Group. "The entire process was a learning experience. The more benefits we uncovered from different manufacturers, the bigger the wish list became for our future system. By the time we were ready to pilot various systems, we were quite educated on what it should look like." Defining your objectives in this way will help you navigate the next step – examining your existing team and assets, a necessary hurdle that will help you weed out BAS products that don't fit well. "Assess whether all or part of your services will be self-performed or delivered by a service provider," recommends Paul Oswald, managing director of CBRE/ESI, which provides building management services that include BAS integration. "Asking questions regarding available time and skill level is critically important to making sure that the people part of the equation is adequately addressed. Then, once this element is understood, assess the current state of the building's systems and determine the best technology path to enable the solution."

ASHRAE's 2015 update to Guideline 13: Specifying Building Automation Systems walks readers through typical features, important project considerations, and tips on creating a BAS specification that meets your needs. It can prove an invaluable resource in understanding what's available and helping you weigh the pros and cons of different features. Ron Bernstein, president of Ron Bernstein Consulting Group and a member of ASHRAE's Guideline 13 development committee, recommends that you also find a neutral advisor or automation consultant and develop a master plan with them before you start speaking with vendors. This will help you avoid accidental bias from sales pitches. Ideally, your consultant should be familiar with the different configurations described in Guideline 13 to help you determine what setup is best for your building.

'Orange' goes far beyond near all teen-based dramas, not only in the world of animation, but in all forms of entertainment
Attempting to place 'Orange' within a single genre of entertainment is as difficult as describing the colour itself, as this seemingly simplistic anime is in fact a complex tapestry of themes from time travel, romance, drama, comedy, and more. Just as the characters are given a chance to rewrite the past, so too are audiences led to consider their own regrets, and handling of the presented situation, and it is here that viewers may find fault within the series and the characters in general. However, the surrounding cast of characters and deeper issues they explore make 'Orange' stand far above its surrounding "teen drama" peers.
Based on the award-winning manga, 'Orange' is the gripping story of second-year student, Naho Takamiya, who receives a letter from her future self. The letter tells of Kakeru, a shy boy who transfers to her school the next day, and of the life between them that will unfold into tragedy. Can Naho and a close group of friends change the future or must they live with a regret that can never be erased?
The central theme of the series and one of its most intriguing facets is, unfortunately, also the source of its major downfall. The ability to travel through time to save the life of your greatest love is a concept wrought with intense intrigue and emotion that make 'Orange' instantly engaging. However, providing such a horrifying event as cost of your failure makes some aspects of the plot, and many of Naho's actions, seem frustrating and near-bordering on selfish. The vagueness of the letters, for example, seem highly ignorant considering the severity of the outcome should they be ignored, and thus simply writing "This is the one day I don't want you to invite Kakeru. Seriously" seems a grave misjudgment. It feels a more appropriate phrase may be "Inviting him may lead to his death!" or one similar to highlight the importance of her action. Her failure to follow these instructions is given further weight as episode two reveals the dire ramifications of him joining them that day. In a similar vein, Naho's reluctance to even speak to Kakeru, though clearly a well-honed character trait and one not un-common to teen romance, can become grating when you consider the greater picture, as you can't help but feel such fear should be more easily overcome when presented with the risk of said person dying.
Many of these faults could, of course, be pre-determined aspects of the story that will make sense in future episodes, such as as limitations to the content of the letters, and thusit is encouraged to keep such ideas in mind as to make the premise more enjoyable. Even if they remain unresolved, this frustration may simply come from overthinking the plot line of an anime that is, in essence, based on fantasy and perhaps a greater degree of suspending reality is necessary to enjoy it.
It must also be said that Naho's English dub voice artist, Jill Harris, does an exception job in making her appear as much more sympathetic and strong character than her Japanese counterpart, at least within the limitations of the character.It is clear that Naho is a deeply caring and conscientious character, but overall, she comes across as an emotionally and thematically weak personality, which is further frustrating given that she is female and thus falls into the all too common cliche of the female role.
Thankfully, Naho is surrounded by a stunning cast of characters that elevate the series and provide it deeper sense of both comedy and emotion. As the defining player in the series of events, Kakeru is a perfectly sculpted character - one who evokes instant empathy and an unavoidable sense of fear when his happiness, and life, is in question. Were he to be anything less and fail to form this bond with the audience, the series would fall apart, but in a testament to great character development, he is the ultimate anchor to whom you feel as much emotion as you would to a real-life mate. It is the quality of his character and slow unravelling of his back story that forms the focus of the series and will no doubt compel the viewer to return week after week.
Each member of the friendship group is equally as charming as Kakeru, while possessing a distinctive personality. Suwa's generosity, Takako's confidence and strength, Saku's sarcasm, and Azusa's outgoing, hilarious antics create a well balanced and compelling cast of characters that often outshine Naho's more timid nature. The flash-forward to their future selves at the end of episode 2 show some changes in relationships that create an even greater sense of empathy for one character in particular, while conversely raising questions for another. It will thus be quite interesting to see how past events play out in order to lead to this conclusion.
While on the surface this may seem a series that is largely based in romance and teenage drama, its venture into the more darker themes of mental illness is one of the most admirable qualities of the show. Though only briefly touched on in the first two episodes, it is clear that Kakeru is struggling with much anguish despite his greatest efforts to appear otherwise. It is a pain that near all audience members can relate to and not only furthers the empathy you feel towards his character, but speaks of issues that are in dire need of greater recognition. Mental illness, and the tragedies that may come when you fail to address it, are all too often seen as taboo subjects and thus 'Orange' deserves great praise for presenting these issues as a common trait that warrants not a single trace of shame. This is even more powerful as it is shown to affect both genders, particularly males who are less likely to discuss such issues, and yet no character is shown as "insane", "crazy", or one to be avoided, but someone who is as normal as the next and who speaks to our most compassionate traits. It if for this reason that 'Orange' goes far beyond near all teen-based dramas, not only in the world of animation, but in all forms of entertainment.
In first two episodes alone, 'Orange' has provided some of the most impactful and original approaches to concepts of time travel, drama, and relationships that will no doubt hook the viewer. While Naho's character is often weak and agitating, it is far outweighed by the strength of her surrounding cast and the deeper themes explored throughout the series. Whether these facets grow, diminish, or alter over time remains to be seen, but it is a future worth tuning in to see as to ensure you do not create your own series of regrets.

And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder
I am a huge admirer of Elie Wiesel and his Humanitarian work. The first time that I became aware of him was in 1993 when I was desperately looking for employment. I had just previously studied at my local College in Croydon with the hope of embarking on a degree course in Electronic Engineering. Instead, I came across prejudice, hatred, and misuse of power that tore all my hopes and dreams into a thousand pieces. This was an intensely dark night of my life as I saw the shattered pieces of my dream blowing away in the wind spelling the end of a reality I had worked so hard to build.
It was a long dark evening in November, and I was not sure if there was ever going to be a morning again. I was walking home with a heavy heart full of profound sadness as if I were mourning the death of a close one, except the death was the death of my dream and my future.
Back then, walking home through the shopping centre was a very magical and mystical time, not be found anywhere else on this planet. Generally, during this time you see children peering through shop windows looking to buy fireworks for the fifth celebration. In the distant background, you can hear the sounds of the clock tower bell that rings once for every hour... every hour. Sometimes you can hear a school choir practising preparing for Christmas. There is a slight hint of the smell of onions frying at the hot-dog stall, or sometimes fresh bread from the local bakery, and the air is very cold, crisp and clear.
Even with the pain in my heart, I kept a smile on my face. Because I knew that this time, this place on this planet, the whole alignment of the stars in the galaxy was a unique moment that will never come again.
I came across a small makeshift second-hand bookstall on the side of the road. It was the first time that I had noticed it there and I decided to walk over to see what books were on sale. I had learnt that sometimes simply looking at books and window-shopping can raise the spirit, and my spirit really did need rising. The very first book I picked up had a strange picture on the cover of a thin figure standing behind barbed wire. The picture on the book was a good depiction of exactly how I felt at that time. Whilst looking at the picture it occurred to me how man had found so many overt and covert ways of curtailing the freedoms and progress of other men.
Standing there, I read a small fragment, and realised that I was reading a real account of someone's life and that this was not a fiction-novel. The book was very thin around 100 pages and therefore the stall keeper wanted just 20 pence (9 cents) for it. Just as well I thought, as that was about all that I had in my pocket at the time, my last bit of money.
When my shattered body and soul finally reached home, I opened the front door, to notice that the house was freezing cold and dark, as the heating had been turned off to save money. I decide to make a warm cup of tea and look in the coal bag hoping to make a small fire to last an hour or two before I finally drifted off to sleep on the couch. Then I remembered that I had just bought a book, and reached for the carrier bag...
That evening I read the whole book and I was moved to put it mildly, as men generally never say that they shed a tear or two. The book that I bought was of course 'Night' by Elie Wiesel.
As I sat, there is silence, gathering my thoughts, watching the last fragments of the coal dissolve into the fire, my thoughts turned to the meaning and sound of the word holocaust. How the meaning of the word had such a finality to it that describes a complete and total destruction. In many ways, destruction by a burning so intense that not even remnants of ash are left behind. The burning of humankind and humanity and all that humanity stood for.
There are no other words that come even close to accurately describing the events of the Second World War, and reading 'Night' made me realise that the word holocaust should not be used lightly or out of context.
There are no limits to the depths of evil that man can descend, and the most dangerous men are those that occupy a position of authority full of hate, because that is the time that hate can materialise into evil. When power can be misused and they can inflict the maximum damage. Hate opens the door to evil, and power allows it to walk freely amongst other men.
At Croydon College I had learnt that when a man such as this expresses his hatred, that power is later very often misused; computer records altered, names entered in unofficial blacklists. He sees to it that you do not progress and obtains a perverse pleasure out of letting you know as well.
Back in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s prejudice and institutional racism were a commonplace. People of colour were not seen as equals, or even human by many. A person of colour is expected to get used to prejudiced hatred and bigotry, however it always saddened me when I came across such people because there was nothing I could do. Hated simply for being alive and looking different is a unique experience that very few 'educated' white people can even begin to understand. I found many answers and a common frame of reference in all of Elie's books that I could not find elsewhere.
Just like Elie, I became a Humanitarian. I have learnt that it is always better to forgive and walk away, because people always learn and realise their mistakes later on... assuming they have the intelligence to realise.
Book Cover
This image reminds me of myself as a thin scrawny teenager, I had no face or name or worth. I was just a shadow of undesirable colour that people saw and had to 'tolerate'. Of course, I hardly ever think of Croydon College, except on the rare occasion someone might comment that I was gifted in electronics, and ask if I had ever thought of studying for an engineering degree...
