"I shall not tell you my name, as I cannot risk them hearing it under any circumstances. The Dunedain call me Tauvrenil. In the Elven settlements I am Taithiel. None but Lady Galadriel, Lords Elrond, Celeborn and Círdan and Mithrandir know what I am called."
I jumped in shock and alarm when a hand was clamped over my mouth to prevent me from screaming and an arm snuck round my waist pinning my arms to my side.
"You forgot that I know exactly who you are as well, Taithiel." Said the person, releasing me from their clutches.
"Glorfindel." I said in a sigh of relief. For a moment he had me worried that someone had found out who I was and that there was trouble.
"I was unaware that you were the messenger Elrond sent to Lórien. You gave me such a fright! You should know better than to sneak up on me like that." I hissed. "Remember what happened last time?"
"My original purpose in coming was actually to deliver a message from Lord Celeborn" He said to Haldir, ignoring me for the while. "She may walk free. I am to escort her to Caras Galadhon with all haste even if it means travelling through the night." He finished before addressing me again.
"The opportunity of frightening you into almost falling out the tree, like you did the first time I snuck up on you was just too good to pass up."

Bin Rentals
Bin Rentals
When Redemptive Developments originally saw a gap in the market to establish it's junk removal service Junk 4 Good, the decision was made to also accompany this with a bin/dumpster rental service. This service operates using Junk 4 Good's custom built "hook lift" trucks, which offer the flexibility to switch the container on the back of the truck to best suit the job be it junk removal or bin rental. The offerings of 12, 15 and 18 yard bin sizes have been added to by the recent acquisition of a larger disposal truck. The arrival of this truck and the custom built 40 yard dumpsters allows Junk 4 Good even more flexibility when strategizing the best solution for the customer.
Working together with The City of Edmonton's Waste Management Centre, Junk 4 Good is able to see that upwards of 60% of all waste removed is recycled rather than land filled. This is especially appealing when commercial customers are seeking a responsible disposal company. Combining this goal of recycling with our non-profit service structure, Junk 4 Good's customer list is constantly growing and expanding.

Historical aspect of tensions between India and China
Switching gears a bit, my thoughts go out to the steadily rising escalation between India and China. While India is rightfully expression anguish over its troops marching 10 kms inside its borders and not letting go of the Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) area in Ladakh, China has stuck to its version that there has been no intrusion of Chinese troops within India's boundaries. Following up with this intrusions, came the report of two Chinese helicopters flying hundreds of kilometers into Indian airspace at Chumar (to the southeast of Leh).
Historically, the two emerging superpowers have co-existed peacefully in their earliest days (India and China have two of the world's oldest civilizations). Starting with the famed Silk Route, there has always been a positive tone of cooperation between the two nations as far as trade and economic ties are concerned. Even with the daunting Himalayan ranges bordering and separating the two countries, there has been no shortage of border-related disputes between India and China. Contemporary historical period is filled with three distinct periods of border related military clashes between the two nations:
1. Sino-Indian war of 1962: Started with China's infiltration of the 3000 km long Himalayan border, it involved coordinated offensives launched by Chinese army. The war reached an end with a declaring of ceasefire by China and the subsequent withdrawal of its troops from the disputed area
2. Chola incident (1967): Triggered by the intrusion of People's Liberation Army of China into Sikkim (at that time, a protectorate that was elf governed but its interests was protected by India). The day long conflict ended with the retreat of the PLA from Sikkim
3. 1987 Sino-Indian conflict: Following a ramp up of presence of India forces across the Line of Actual Control on the Indo-China border, there was severe deterioration of relations between the two countries. After India's granting of statehood to Arunachal Pradesh, this led to a danger of a war between them. Finally both governments realized the need for de-escalating the conflict and phased out the heavy army presence on the border regions
In the current context there are two territories that are at the center of Indo-China disputes – Arunachal Pradesh (located near far-east India) and Aksai Chin (located at the north-west corner of India). Both China and India lay claim to the disputed regions without conceding it to the other. On the other end of the spectrum both countries acknowledge the need for a strong bilateral tie that was further strengthened by the recent meeting of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao with India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. A significant cornerstone of this meet is the signing of pact to increase bilateral trade to 100 billion dollars by 2015

False Positives and False Negatives in Software Testing
Simply put,
False Positive is the situation when the functionality is working, but yet it is marked as 'failed' in testing/practical application
False Negative is the situation when the functionality is not working, but yet it is marked as 'passed' in testing/practical application
Real-life examples
1. Software coding: Thorough testing results in correct and valid code to get rejected (due to mismatch of understanding between coder and tester)
2. Healthcare sector: Low-cost medical tests administered detects illness that warrants further elaborate testing (which then reveals absence of the illness)
3. Government administration: Pre-election poll roundup denotes win of a particular candidate who will be defeated by a significant margin in the actual elections
4. Airport security: Metal detector sounds off an alarm on presence of a small coin (sensing it to be a weapon)
5. Anti-virus: The most popular form of 'false positive' is when an anti-virus blocks a safe program (or .exe file) thinking it to be a potential threat.
Steps to detect 'falses'
1. Change the input or the sample so that the behavior changes with this new sample. Changing the test data will point out to deviations in working of the code and hence alert us of the 'false positives' or 'false negatives'
2. Do a rigorous testing on dummy or test data (complete with all minor details) so that code performance can be monitored in an alternative environment of variables and data
3. Provide for automating the actions, process or steps. Since automation looks for pattern in data and then performs a pre-defined action, this step can be crucial in trapping the 'falses'
Which of the two are most dangerous?
It depends on the level of efforts required to detect such 'falses'.
False positive will be pointed as an error (and will stop the program execution) even when it is safe. On the other hand, false negative will continue running the program even though it should've been stopped when it encountered the error bit.
Hence, owing the detection level, false negative is the more dangerous of the two, as there is no indicator alerting us that there is something wrong in the programming.

Difference between open source and closed source software models
The basic difference is the accessibility of source code. In a very layman term, open source allows easy access of source code to general public that can be edited and re-released in a customized format. An end-user in open source is allowed to play around with the software. Under closed source or proprietary programs model, the compiled code is not available for tinkering to the general users.
A summary of the core difference between the two models are as below
1. Cost: For the discerning mind, the chief differentiator is the price point at which both softwares are sold. Open source software is always cheaper than the licensed (or closed source) versions
2. Customization: Open source model allows and facilitates altering the source code to match individual requirement. Closed source on the other hand release the final application without releasing the code thereby restricting the access and editing of the program.
3. Community support: Open source has a very wide community support as compared to proprietary software tech support where the original software developers undertake to maintain and regularly update the software
4. Companies: While most of the developers are moving to open source platform, the biggest software producer Microsoft is still a big proponent of licensed software citing reasons such as trust, quality and teamwork. Although Microsoft is enabling and entering a paradigm shift through its statement in August 2010 where they admitted their loss in standing by their 'anti-open source' stance
5. Cultures: Most companies around the world that form a major chunk of software buyers are led to believe that licensed softwares are better than their open source counterpoints, which might not always be true. Also, personnel from companies might have better skillsets in tweaking the software to better serve the need for which the software was purchased
6. Collaboration: Closed source tech support is more often than not a complicated maze as compared to open source software tech support. Issue identification and error handling process is an elaborate procedure, which might not always be feasible to all organizations who might find a faster and better resolution of their issues on the huge online support community
When faced with the dilemma of choosing the appropriate model for an organization, a general rule of thumb would be that new start-ups can very well go ahead with open source software. As and when the organization grows in business, in complexity, in headcount, and in credibility, opting for proprietary software makes sense.

CRM development for your company
Customer Relationship Management is an integral part of modern business. In order to stay ahead of the competition, companies look for ways and means to effectively manage customer relationship, right from sales, operations, logistics and service delivery.
Thought to be one of the critical success drivers in today's corporate environment, CRM is an overall strategy that helps:
1. Appreciate the requirements of customer
2. Employ tools and approaches that enable astute customer servicing
3. Source and retain newer customer and clientele
4. Increase customer engagement and reduce costs involved
The recent and evolving technological advancements has opened newer avenues for customers to purchase products or services and at the same time has provided alternatives options for corporate houses to attract customers and manage them efficiently. The twin proliferation of Web and smartphones has now provided better opportunities for managing customer expectations.
As a small example, we see supermarkets offering gift coupons on selected purchases. Implementing CRM ensures that not only is customer induced to purchase more though such offers, but the supermarket also benefits from such steps, as the gift coupon also tracks customer purchase profile and keeps a detailed account of the same. This helps the supermarket to devise offers and strategies that are in line with the customer's purchase profile thus leading to a happier customer and a profitable supermarket.
The broad categories that CRM process cycle entails are:
1. Lead generation: Using an easy-to-access format CRM helps tracking customer details, demographics, purchase history, shopping patterns and profiling to create an elaborate database that targets customer satisfaction. How do you think the magazine you subscribed for, tracks and sends a birthday message every year without fail? That's CRM for you
2. Sales integration: Once the information and report is ready, sales people use this to maintain a healthy customer relationship. An example would be the post sales communication channel that stays open between sales people and customers that not only strengthen the relationship but also help attract referrals.
In a nutshell CRM uses technology as a core enabler to collect, analyze and manage important information about customers and supply ways and means to link information in such a way that helps smart and innovative customer relationship management to attract new customers and retain existing ones satisfactorily.

George Orwell's writing rules
In a society fast moving from considering writing as a domain of poets, literary writers and novelists, we now see the need for (and a good supply of) writers coming in to develop business content to help market a company's product and help them sell it online. The ultimate challenge that writers face today is the get the message across using the Internet as a communication medium (through websites, articles, blogs, tech ref manuals etc.)
One of the earliest proponents of clear writing was George Orwell who suggested way back in 1946, the 5 golden rules for effective writing:1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Does the phrase "Low hanging fruit" mean something to a layman? Can't it be better written as "non-performing employee" ? Now, how many people recognize the words and the sentiments behind them?
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
"In the entire world, XYZ is selling like hot cakes and gathering a lot of revenues for the company"… Imagine if we write this as "XYZ is the company's universal best-seller". Many writers adopt the beating round the bush approach to increase word count or achieve the desired keyword density. This is a strict no-no as it insults the reader's sensibilities.3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Well, same as above (yea that' a shorter one. No need for another example!)4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
"The man who was old was bitten by a cat". While there's no rocket science behind the logic, still this is an oft-disregarded adage. You can always replace the longer sentence with a shorter and effective "The cat bit the old man"5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Keep your content easily accessible to the average Joe. Readers will simply block out the content if they come across a lot of technical jargons that they can't comprehend
Now that you know the rules, apply creativity and let your write up rise above the rest.

What makes good webpage writing?
Writers often regard website writing to be a part of their daily tasks combining it with other writing tasks/ assigning it to a standard set of personnel without respect to the special considerations it carries. Once we shake off our mindset from such regressive thinking we come to realize that with evolving technological landscape, website writing too has evolved from nascent stage in the early 80's to its present day avatar.
Earlier websites were restricted to having one's personality come alive over the Internet. Over time, companies recognized the huge potential online business carries and sought to have the business information presented in such a way that attracts visitors and successfully converts them to highly engaged sales prospects.
One might wonder how this can be achieved. I have come up with a small but relevant list of to-do's when designing a business website that will allow you to better target your online audience and garner more revenues:
Keep it simple: This is the golden rule of website writing. One never knows what demographics the reader might come from. Keep your language to simple terms and easy to understand vocabulary. This facilitates the reader to easily assimilate information and details and make a decision (act, purchase, get re-directed)
Know thy audience: A cardinal sin if we don't keep our audience in mind. Imagine talking about hierarchy, course content and e-learning taxonomy when the site actually is for teenagers' admissions and interacts with their parents! Need I say more?
Be expressive: Keep your tone, grammar and vocabulary simple and taut. This helps prolonged engagement with reader. Trying to impress them with fancy terminologies will be a big deal-breaker as will trying to pepper the written content with technical, legal jargon that won't find acceptance with the general public.
Heads and tails: A good written article will have a proper heading, introductions, body and conclusion. Imagine a human body without a limb, or an ear missing. Now transition the shock to written content. A good flow to content is a hallmark of a good write-up
Keep these critical pointers in mind and rest assured you will be on your way to a killer write-up.

Newest social media sites
With Facebook ruling the roost for quite some time now, netizens are now looking in another direction to get going online, share posts, pics and videos and expand their network. There have been a few success stories such as Instagram, that reached 100 million users in 2012 and now considered a social media icon.
We will look at a few recently launched social media sites that have the potential to become the next Facebook or Twitter. Here are my favorite picks:
Medium: This one always has a favorable top-of-mind recall for me! With clean cut features, invitation-only membership and captivating stories and images, this site is bound to linger for long in your mind. The humane touch provided by these carefully selected pick of real life stories provide an enchanting read. There is also a nifty editors' pick that sifts through the collection and brings their top picks of interesting posts that they feel should have greater visibility
Flayvr: This photo sharing app is turning to be a real head turner. With its innovative approach, Flavyr is an ideal photo organizer and photo sharing. With the advent of smartphones, numerous photos lie in the 'images' folder in an unsorted order. What Flavyr does is bringa sense of order to your photo collection by smart tagging through picture taken date/place taken from smartphone data, and listing them in well-organized albums. What's more, you can easily upload entire albums to your favorite social media platform on the click of a button via aesthetically pleasing HTML5 webpages (either in public or private group)
Pheed: This is not exactly a networking forum per se. it is actually designed for celebrities that want to share their personal pics and videos albeit for a fee. For an amount ranging from $1.99 to $34.99, viewers can login and access images of entrainment industry celebrities who fiercely safeguard their privacy but are willing to advertise the same for monetary gains!

Windows XP vs Windows 7
This topic is something that is close to my heart and what makes it even more interesting is the dilemma to upgrade when the current version is perfectly serving my purpose.
So here I am sharing a few nuggets about why to upgrade and why to stay put
Firstly let's see why should one stick to Windows XP?
- Software upgrades are expensive. Other than the basic OS re-install, you will also need to install programs that are compatible with Windows 7. Other than the compatibility issue, there is also an investment involved in purchasing licenses of application which doesn't usually come cheap
- All files will need to be backed up (a process that I have not yet fully come to terms with). There might be an element of risk of loss of file in this transition process.
- Determine what you do in your daily computing: Mostly is accessing MS Office applications, surfing internet or accessing multimedia. If you feel Windows XP has sufficient juice to power all your application sand gaming needs, then why bother switching?
- Eventually, you will put in your dough to buy a new computer. And when you do so, the newer models will have the latest OS fitted into it. This way get to avail significant savings on investing for a separate installation of Windows 7
Now that we have looked pushing the good ol' XP, let's see why Windows 7 will be useful
- Microsoft support will eventually cease for Windows XP. This means no regular updates and protection from newer security threats that keep cropping up every day. This one reason is sufficient enough to go for an upgrade
- With the advent of 64-bit technology, computing is becoming faster, and more practical. Though still in its nascent stage, more and more software applications now are coming up with a 64-bit variant catering to Windows 7 that are unusable on Windows XP. It would make sense to change before turning obsolete
- More applications: High end gaming/applications today runs on Windows 7 and 8 and hardly find any support with XP. So if you plan to lay your hands on the kick-ass new games with high resolution graphics and audio then Windows 7 is the right answer
While for me, I have still been using my faithful XP, I feel that going for an OS upgrade for my desktop is just round the corner. Yeah, yeah I know Windows 8 is the flavor of the season, but more on that later!

IT technologies to watch out for in 2013
With ever changing technological landscape it is very easy to get bogged down by the plethora of options available today for developers for website and IT software development. I am sure by the time this goes to press, a handful of technologies would well be on their way out! Yes, that's the massive changes happening daily in IT field.
Here goes my list:
#3 – Responsive web design – Those who predicted an early demise for smartphones and tablets are sadly mistaken big time. Tables, smartphones, and other Internet-enabled hand held mobile devices are growing at a relentless pace and see no signs of slowing down in the near future. With this growing proliferation comes the challenge of a web developer to create websites that are compatible with the varying screen sizes of different. This is where responsive web design comes in. With fluid layout dynamics, HTML5 and CSS3 are the primary languages that enable responsive web design
#2 – Transformation of the television – A huge change is underway with the idiot box being smartened up over the last few years and 2013 promises to be no different. While Internet access is already a standard accessory in a television even in a developing economy such as India, what makes the whole thing more interesting is the endeavors of different providers to change the television from a sole content distribution medium to an "Internetworked" device with apps playing a significant role. Providers such as NetFlix and SnagFilms provide unique content mechanism through innovative apps.
#1 – IT with a human touch – Gone are the days when IT was considered as a project. The recent trends see a growing number of stakeholders requiring IT to encompass their key business functions and give them results that not only provide direct benefits but also play a key role in providing intangible benefits in form of rigorous planning, implementation and after-sales support

The Plot
(Critical Survey of Science Fiction and Fantasy)
Richard Matheson deals in this novel with the subject of life after death, incorporating his own views of the purpose of life. Chris Nielsen, a television writer, is involved in an automobile accident and witnesses his own death in a hospital room. At first, he refuses to accept his death. A man he does not at first recognize appears by his bedside to aid his transition to the afterworld, but Chris's longing to be with his wife and to comfort her prevents him from listening to the man. Chris witnesses his own funeral and the well-intentioned attempt by his son, Richard, to console his wife, Ann. Ann does not believe in life after death, and Richard's attempt to convince her ends with disastrous results.
For a time, Chris continues to try to convince his wife of his existence, but by degrees he comes to realize that this is futile and that remaining in the physical world is no longer valid. It is then that he is able to make the transition to the afterworld.
Chris wakes up in a pleasant, idealized world similar to the one he left but nonmaterial. He is greeted by the man who had appeared by his bedside, whom he now recognizes as a deceased cousin, Albert. Albert acts as a guide, explaining to Chris the details of the afterworld, which he calls Summerland, and the ultimate destination of the soul.
Chris's concern for his wife holds him back and increases when Albert informs him that Ann has committed suicide and is condemned to...

During the month of July, Central Electric Cooperative will hold a food drive benefiting NeighborImpact.
According to NeighborImpact, the summer months are when the most food is needed to help local Central Oregon families. Why? There are a lower number of food drives and contributions. Also during the summer, low income kids are home from school where they often receive breakfast and lunch.
"We understand this time of year local food banks have trouble keeping enough items on the shelves for needy families," says Jeff Beaman, Central Electric Cooperative member services director. "As part of our 75 Acts of Kindness for our 75th Anniversary Celebration, the cooperative wants to lend a hand by holding this drive."
Bins will be placed at the cooperative's three office locations in Bend, Redmond and Sisters. The community can drop off non-perishable food donations or cash donations.
Office locations:
- Redmond Service Center – 2098 N Hwy 97
- Bend Service Center – 61090 SE 27th St.
- Sisters office – 352 E Hood St.

Jannat Ali, a professional Kathak dancer and a transgender activist, has been running a workshop called 'Gender and Society' at schools all over Denmark for three weeks .
According to a statement released by the Danish embassy, Jannat Ali, a transwoman from Pakistan, is a professional Kathak dancer and a transgender activist who advocates for human rights. The purpose of this specific workshop is to get students to reflect upon their own gender and gender norms in Denmark and Pakistan.
Sounds of Pakistani Kathak rhythms resonnate from the speakers and 35 students move from one side of the Danish classroom to the other. Most of them smile broadly and are trying hard to move like Jannat Ali, who elegantly introduces them to a dance they have never seen before.
"Dance is a powerful tool. I use dance as a form of activism to tell about transgender life and conditions," Jannat Ali said to the students while conducting a workshop. She held the workshops together with Pakistani artist Imram Sana, Danish gender activist Elias Magnild and dancer and choreographer Sara Armstrong.
"Today I found out that there are many kinds of gender," one of the students said. By the end of each workshop the students made their own performances and expressed their perspectives on gender.
Speaking about the objective of this initiative funded by the government of Denmark, Ambassador of Denmark to Pakistan, Ole Thonke said "The government of Denmark strongly believes that provision and protection of equal rights is the foundation of building a fair and tolerant society. To achieve that, it is important to discuss how norms are created and broken, of which people such as Jannat Ali are great examples."
Ambassador Thonke said that such interactions and dialogue are important, as it not only provides young Danish students the opportunity to get a broader understanding of identity and gender but also creates an opportunity to promote arts and culture from other countries such as Pakistan.
The workshop is part of Centre for Culture and Development's (CKU) educational youth program funded by the government of Denmark that annually hosts between 4 and 7 different educational workshops that tour Danish schools and youth institutions.
The program that introduces young people in Denmark to arts and culture from countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle has been running since 2010. Through the program, artists from African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries meet and work with young Danes aged 13–18 in classrooms, youth clubs and cultural institutions across Denmark.

Sew, You Wanna Sew?racinggamesios strategygamesios travelappsios
For the true first time sewer: the true novice.
Is there anyone who understands the beginner? Has anyone anytime noticed that some abecedarian books, DVD`s, videos, and even websites are not absolutely geared appear the beginner?
I begin this to be true with some of the aloft assets that were blue-blooded "for beginners."
Many accept the knowledge. however, it is a allowance to be a artistic adviser in the bed-making world. So, if a being has never sewn, how would she/he be adequate using the bed-making machine? How would she/he accept the locations and accent of the following:
Presser foot
Foot Pedal
The altered stitches on a bed-making machine
Seam allowance
My ambition is not to criticize anyone, but to see others accompany their bed-making dreams and not accord up. I accept there are some causes why this bind exists with the wanna-be sewer.
Many who address and broadcast their abstracts accept been bed-making for decades. Some accept infact accomplished and/or are still teaching, some accept academic apprenticeship in the appearance industry, while others accept acknowledged sewing/crafting businesses.
Therefore, if they write, some assume and accept that assertive things are known. They jump appropriate off the advance with terminologies that the amateur has never heard.
This can be actual frustrating, discouraging, make a faculty of hopelessness, and possibly ultimately couldcause a amateur final defeat afore she/he anytime get started.
Here are some applied suggestions:
1) Analysis for a acceptable bounded bolt and/or bed-making boutique in your area.
2) Ask about a alpha class.
3) Get abundant advice on the instructor`s teaching accomplishments and credentials.
4) Get in autograph the acquittance and/or balance policy. This is important if the adviser does not accommodated the declared advance objectives.
5) Acquisition out if there are any added fees for fabric, notions, patterns, etc. afore the class.
Again, appeal that all of this be put in writing.
If the store/company cannot accomplish any of the aloft requests, then do not yield a chic from them.
Just as you went through kindergarten to possibly top school/college/business school, there is a akin for the abecedarian which is simple as 1-2-3 if she/he walks through the acquirements caster in the bed-making world.
This is just a alpha for the true beginner. Amuse break acquainted for a assiduity and Blessed Sewing!

Home > Knowledge Centre > News > Trial of "The Ambridge One" to begin next week
Jeannie Mackie and the criminal team at Doughty Street Chambers have been closely following the build-up to the trial of Helen Archer/Titchener, "The Ambridge One", who faces an allegation of the attempted murder of her husband, in a storyline whic has gripped listeners of BBC's radio drama The Archers. Jeannie writes:
Life is not always bleak. After suffering much mocking over the years for listening to The Archers, with comments ranging from "Haven't you anything better to do?" and "I thought you were intellectual", to "Oh God you are so boringly middle class!" I am now avenged. Mary Beard listens to The Archers. Mary Beard! The cleverest woman on the planet! In Wednesday's post to A Don's Life, her blog for The Times, she asks highly pertinent questions – well she would, wouldn't she? – about the legal issues thrown up the by Helen Archer trial and custody battle. Why can't Helen see Henry? Why can't Rob see Jack? Why is Pat Archer a prosecution witness? One answer is that, despite the fervent devotion of its listeners (intellectuals all), The Archers is Not Real. Boring old real life gets sacrificed for dramatic effect. There are, apparently, lawyers advising on the series and telling it like it is – for example, a witness making a statement to police is routinely asked if they are prepared to go to court for the prosecution. Signing a statement to that effect makes them a prosecution witness – Pat didn't have to do it. It is better copy for a desperate mum to be kept from her child – the advising lawyers may huff and puff and take refuge in strong drink, but the drama must prevail. Costs, too, probably come into it: another cast member playing the role of Helen's solicitor might bust the budget, so we have Helen's barrister Anna Tregorran racing around the country interviewing witnesses which is seriously unprofessional, and as a result could lead to her being unable to represent Helen at trial as she could potentially become a witness in the case herself.
As for the custody issues, Henry living with Rob provides a lot of stomach churning Rob-bery as he poisons the child's mind against his mother. Good drama, bad parenting. It is, however, unlikely that a family court judge would have ignored the question of potential witness intimidation in deciding where Henry was to live, and likely too that the court would want to see Helen with her child to assess her parenting skills and the bond between them for the eventual custody hearing. In the specific circumstance of a child giving evidence in a serious trial "against" his mother and "for" his stepfather he would almost certainly be placed more neutrally, either away from the family altogether or, at a pinch, with his grandparents, and with supervised meetings taking place with both parents. But as it is, next week will be a cliff hanger: What, in fact, will Henry say when questioned by Anna Tregorran? Will he tell us what "Daddy" has been saying to him about Mummy? Is he to be the star witness for Helen after all?
Mary Beard and I cannot wait…

Legal and Ethical Aspects of ResearchUNIVERSITÀ DELLA SVIZZERA ITALIANA
Chiedi il prezzo
Informazioni importanti
|Mendrisio (Svizzera)
- Corso
- Mendrisio (Svizzera)
In the wake of recent scandals in some European and American Universities, academic misconduct is now high on the agenda.
The course will create awareness towards academic integrity by presenting the legal and ethical issues in research and publication.
The class will focus on different aspects of academic integrity such as truthfulness, plagiarism, non- discrimination and specific legal issues like freedom of research, copyright and data protection. The course will combine lecturing and case studies.
Teaching method
Law and ethics are intertwined. Thus, the best approach is co-teaching: a professor of ethics and a professor law will address the different issues together.
The course will combine lecturing, group work and case studies.
After a short introduction devoted to freedom of research in open democratic societies, the first workshop deals with a case of plagiarism and ethical misconduct. Starting from a real case, we will examine the consequences not only for the person who committed plagiarism, but also for the university in general and the consequences of plagiarism on the other researchers in that particular department. The discussed case prepares for the next topic dealing with the legal framework of copyright. We will then discuss whistleblowing in academia providing different settings and strategies how do deal with misconduct in an organization once discovered without adverse effects for the whistleblower and the organization in general.
The following topic will discuss access to information and open data in a Swiss and European law perspective.
Furthermore, we discuss how to protect privacy in conducting research (data protection, anonymisation etc.). This unit includes a group work on a case that lead to a controversial decision of the European Human Rights Court.
On the basis of the legal framework and the awareness of the ethical challenges to engage in misconduct the core of the course is the development of a specific Code of Ethics, based on the 8-step program of the Academy of Management and its "The Ethics of Research and Publishing" material. Students not only learn how to engage in research in accordance with the law and in appropriate conduct, but also strategies on how "thin" to "slice the salami" with regard to data samples and research questions in order to learn how to get the maximum out of the research without getting into trouble. The code also discusses the sometimes problematic relation between conference proceedings and journal publications, as well as the question of how to determine an appropriate authorship of lead- and co-authors without creating hierarchical and sometimes imbalanced constellations.
The course ends with a discussion and counseling of specific challenges raised by the PhD students in group discussions or if required in confidential settings in order to offer advise not only on a theoretical level but also on a case-specific and personal level.

Rose and Wass investigate the consequences of flattening the hierarchy of the spatial and kinetic operations that govern their relative practices. During their performative investigation, they attempt to simultaneously discern the compositional limitations and recognize the freedom suggested by the immediacy of the moment. As the sonic and corporeal palettes reveal themselves, an infinite number of ways of manipulating those palettes is also revealed.

There are usually three kinds of loss which the policy provides for. These are
- Injury, which also includes death and illness
- Damage, which includes theft and other loss to tangible property
- Pure economic loss, which is a loss where there has been no Injury or Damage
- Example, the Insured is sued for breach of copyright
- A pure economic loss (PEL) is also referred to as a pure financial loss
- Like a PEL, a consequential loss is also of a financial nature, but it arises out of Injury or Damage
- Example, as a result of an Injury the Insured is unable to earn an income. That loss of income is a consequential loss.
- The terms Insured and Damage are capitalised because they have a special meaning e.g. Injury includes sickness.
- The word 'Insured' is also capitalised because it includes not only the insured company but also the staff when they become personally liable in the course of their employment duties.

In 2008, Crawford was honored at the annual law day event held by the Connecticut Supreme Court.
In 2012, Crawford president at the time, Bryan Watson, wrote an article in the Connecticut Law Tribune about Crawford's initiatives and priorities during that time and in the near future. He provided a great recap of all Crawford had accomplished during that time.
Consistent with its mission, the George W. Crawford Black Bar Association supports American Bar Association Resolution No. 113, which urges all providers of legal services to expand and create opportunities at all levels of responsibility for diverse attorneys.
In 2009, Crawford co-sponsored a panel discussion on the precedenting case, Ricci v. DeStefano, and was highlighted on the Connecticut Employment Law Blog.
On November 2012, Crawford worked with the Connecticut Bar Association, and provided election day assistance.
In 2009, Crawford began working on establishing an endowment at the University of Connecticut School of Law. In 2011, the endowment was formed! Three of our officers during that time period, Fallon DePina Banks, Natalie Braswell and Christine Jean-Louis were featured in the University of Connecticut School of Law Graduate Report.
In April 2011, Crawford honored Sanford Cloud and Reginald Paige during its 2011 Annual Dinner, and was recognized for the honors in the Hartford Business Journal.
In April 2012, Crawford honored Dr. Constance Belton Green, the first African American woman to receive a juris doctorate from the University of Connecticut School of Law. Dr. Green continues to do amazing work, and was the keynote for the 20th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration in West Hartford.
On May 14, 2015, Crawford honored Justice Lubbie Harper, Jr. with its Trailblazer Award, where Justice Harper challenged us all to "use moral courage to step up, stand up, and speak out on issues that affect our profession, your association and more particular your members."
In 2009, Crawford's president at the time, Ndidi Moses, as well as other Crawford members, were selected as part of the NAACP's 100 Most Influential Blacks in Connecticut.
In 2012, Crawford's current president, Alexis Smith, was listed under "New Leaders In the Law" in the Connecticut Law Tribune.

[V-mail addressed to Mrs. Richard N., Berwyn, Illinois. Return addressed to Richard N., c/o Fleet Post Off. Envelope postmarked 27 June 1944 at 11 a.m.]
June 19, 1944
My Darling,
How are you, sweet – good I am, too. I am not such a happy lad today because the mail man, him didn't bring me any happy tickets from you and I have no letter to answer. Let's see now what I can tell you. Oh yes, the girl that brings the ward flowers brought us some fresh lettuce and Spanish onions along with her flowers. And does it go good because you see we can't get anything like that way over here, the space is needed for more important munitions of war. Now we are all having lots of fun going around blowing our stinking breaths in each others' faces, knocking each other out. The nice part of it is we are all equally armed, you know. I wish you could smell this ward, it smells like Maxwell Street, if you know what I mean. And so another day goes by, bringing me closer to the much awaited time when I can hold you in my arms and kiss you till you are breathless.
All my love forever

It's possible to be so lame at what you do it catapults you to greatness…
It's quite common, actually.
For example, fried chicken magnate Col. Sanders, college dropout Steve Jobs, Channel 4 weekend sports anchor Kevin Kietzman.
And such was clearly the case with departing KCMO 710 AM talk show host Chris Stigall.
In 2001/2002 Stigall was the uh, – for lack of a better term – better half of KCFX's 'Chris & Ally Show' with with convicted money launderer Ally Francis.
Half jokingly – but only half – I asked the pair to pose for a frowny photo when I interviewed them shortly after they'd been hired to do mornings on the Fox. IMy mission was to let readers of my column in the Kansas City Star learn a little bit about who these newcomers were.
But after shooting some photos for the column I thought, might as well take a couple for the inevitable future story about their firing. After all, nothing is forever in radio. And two years later i did indeed run their firing story with the gag photo.
Little did anyone realize at the time – Stigall included – that Francis would end up doing slam time and he would stand eight years later at the precipice of talk radio host greatness.
You heard me right. Talk radio greatness.
"With Chris Stigall we're seeing a superstar in the making and we couldn't be more rpoud of him," says KCMO program director Chris Hoffman. "And he'll be incredibly successful in the next stop on his radio career."
That would be as morning drive host on Philadelphia's WPHT. For the uninitiated that's a monumental leap for Stigall from the No. 31 to the No. 4 U.S. media market.
OK, OK, but superstar?
"Oh yeah, oh yeah," Hoffman says. "I've obviously listened to a lot of talk show hosts and Chris is in an elite category."
What makes Stigall "so great at what he does is that this is what he truly is passionate about and it comes naturally for him," Hoffman adds.
The $64 million question: Will Stigall be the next Rush Limbaugh?
"I don't know about that," Hoffman says. "There is no next Rush Limbaugh; that's like saying the next Beatles. He'll be the next Chris Stigall."

Outdoor maternity photos capture the beauty of a mother with child in gorgeous, golden light.
We met the incredibly amazing and talented Lexy of the Proper blog at an event she organized in Denver called Eat, Drink, Create. Her warm-sunshiny smile, bright eyes, and all together loveliness made it so easy to get to know her. Kindred spirits, soul-sisters, besties-by-destiny…whatever you want to call it, after talking with her, I knew we had to shoot maternity photos of her. <3
Outdoor maternity photos were not something she was planning on doing, much to my surprise. She was seven months pregnant, glowing with that magical mama-to-be glow, but still felt a little bit uneasy in general about having her photo taken. If anything, she was thinking of doing maternity photos at home, but we convinced her to take a short drive from Denver to this beautiful spot.
In her own adorable words, she wrote, "If you have ever tried to take a serious photo of me, you know that it is an almost impossible task. I say inappropriate things. I start to sweat. My face starts to twitch. Seriously. I'm a hot mess when the camera is on me and only me."
But when I look at Lexy's outdoor maternity photos, I see the same brilliant, beautiful, and spirited woman I met at a park event while on vacation in Denver. Lexy is a special soul, and it absolutely shows in these portraits of her at such a wonderful moment in her life.
This session was also featured on The Little Umbrella (formerly On to Baby).
We are so extremely humbled by the amazing testimonial Lexy wrote about You Look Lovely on her blog! Check out her sweet words here!

Lions & Titans meet with questions over their balance
Both the Highveld Lions and the Titans have questions over the balance of their teams as they meet in a RamSlam T20 Challenge match in Potchefstroom on Friday night.
Both sides were unable to counteract the top-order power of the Dolphins in their previous encounters, with David Miller once again hurting the Titans and Kevin Pietersen's spectacular century edging out the Lions in midweek.
The Titans have added Graeme van Buuren, a batsman who can bowl effective limited-overs left-arm spin, to their squad, with Qaasim Adams, unfortunate not to be in the starting XI, now not even in the squad.
"Selection is tricky, but it's a nice tricky to have. We just need to find the right balance for the day and we need to be flexible. There are probably four guys who are in great form but are not playing," Titans coach Rob Walter said.
While the Lions had not yet announced their squad at the time of going to press, they have used the same XI in both their matches. With Neil McKenzie out of favour and Temba Bavuma away with the Proteas, their batting line-up depends heavily on the experience of Alviro Petersen and Rassie van der Dussen, while they have used just five bowlers in both matches.
"Their middle-order has yet to be tested and if we can get a few early wickets then maybe we can put some pressure on the young, inexperienced players. Their experienced players have done well for them, guys like Van der Dussen and Pietersen with the bat and Aaron Phangiso and Lonwabo Tsotsobe with the ball are in key positions," Walter said.
The Titans coach said minor surgery rather than dramatic changes was needed after their opening loss to the Dolphins.
"It's just small portions of the game that weren't up to standard and losing by six runs showed that we got just a few things wrong. The Dolphins should never have got that amount of runs on that pitch, but Albie Morkel produced an unbelievable innings to get us close.
"It was a very different pitch to what we're used to at home, but we didn't adapt as we should have and played some shots that weren't on in those conditions. Potch should be a really good pitch, a decent surface, although it could potentially be slow due to the lack of rain," Walter said.
Titans squad: Henry Davids, Quinton de Kock, Graeme van Buuren, Heino Kuhn, Farhaan Behardien, Albie Morkel, Mangaliso Mosehle, Chris Morris, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi, Junior Dala, Grant Mokoena, Ruben Claassen, Marchant de Lange.

REVIEW: Capital Club 16 – Raleigh, NC
I've driven by Capital Club 16 many times but it always looked too fancy to go for dinner without an occasion. But one of my friends had a going-away party there, so it was a good excuse to dress up and go out for dinner to "Cap Club." We started off with the Pimento Cheese and Fig Crostinis. I am not usually a fan of Pimento Cheese but with the figs, the dish was just the right amount of creamy and smoky.
I ordered the shaved brussel sprout and frisee salad with local blue cheese and sweet potatoes. I loved the texture of the shaved brussel sprouts and the crunchy strips on top. The salad and the harvest quinoa made for a healthy and filling meal.
Some more adventurous eaters in our party ordered the butcher plate: grilled artisinal sausages, smoked pork chop and seared pork belly with sauerkraut, spaetzle and gravy. At $20, this dish seems like a great deal for meat eaters, however I just admired it from afar.
For dessert, we got the brownie sundae – can't go wrong with that! Capital Club is one of Raleigh's fine dining gems without the snobbery that can tend to go along with fine dining. Maybe it was the dynamic group I went with, or the great food, but I know I'll be back – they have so many vegetarian options I'd like to try; the portobello grilled cheese sandwich sounds like a winner.
Enjoy your dining experience at "Cap Club," and be sure to let me know your favorites.

I've been to, and enjoyed both previously - but haven't been in a while, and wonder what their food/service is like lately.

Main Global Media Assad: Chemical Weapons Attack 100% Fabricated by US
In fact, reports of what happened came from eyewitnesses, victims and medical staff.
It was the deadliest such incident since a sarin gas attack killed hundreds of people in a rebel-held suburb of Damascus in 2013, prompting threats of United States military action. They recounted the horrific aftermath of a gas attack, saying the town of Khan Sheikhoun was struck by regime warplanes.
Lavrov on Friday expressed skepticism about a preliminary investigation conducted by the U.N.'s chemical weapons watchdog. "It continues to possess and use chemical weapons".
She said a team of British scientists had examined material from the Khan Sheikhoun area and concluded it was "very clear" that sarin gas or a similar substance had been used. Severe restrictions were placed on the news agency: it was not allowed to film the interview itself; instead, the encounter was filmed by the Syrian presidency.
You can read the full interview here.
The British delegation tweet says that Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu told Thursday's hastily convened meeting of its executive council that the "Fact Finding Mission is working to gather evidence" about the April 4 attack in Khan Sheikhoun that killed almost 90 people.
According to media reports Assad said in an interview, his first since the alleged April 4 attack prompted a United States air strike on Syrian forces, "Definitely, 100% for us, it's fabrication".
"Assad uses chemical weapons because they are not only frightful and indiscriminate. These three allies are going to pursue a path in Syria, which is anti-American and runs contrary to U.S. interests in the region", London-based expert on Middle East affairs, Danny Makki, told PressTV in an exclusive iednterview on Friday.
"Our impression is that the West, mainly the United States, is hand-in-glove with the terrorists", he said.
Pitt to honor Dan Rooney at spring game with special helmet
And Rooney, a white man from Pittsburgh, left his mark as a groundbreaker as well. "Like my father (Al Davis), Mr. It says teams have to interview at least one minority candidate when hiring a new head coach or general manager.
He also claimed the story was made up with the U.S. attack on a Syrian airbase in mind. "They fabricated the whole story in order to have a pretext for the attack", he told Agence-France Presse.
The attacks left more than 80 dead, and Assad's allies in Russian Federation have blamed rebel forces for the assault, saying that the poisonous gas was dispersed after conventional weapons landed on an insurgent weapons depot.
"You have a lot of fake videos now, and you have the proof that those videos were fake, like the White Helmets, for example", he alleged.
"We don't know whether those dead children were killed in Khan Sheikhoun", the tyrant said. He was pictured cradling their dead bodies.
It says that samples already are being tested and the mission is expected to report its findings in three weeks.
"The only information the world have had till this moment is published by al Qaeda branch", he said.
But in a statement Thursday, the OPCW said its Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu told the meeting at the group's headquarters in The Hague that the preliminary assessment by OPCW experts investigating the alleged use of chemical weapons was "that this was a credible allegation".
Lavrov said Russia, Iran and Syria have demanded a "thorough, objective and unbiased investigation" under the auspices of the OPCW, insisting it must use "independent experts", including from Moscow.

I was having trouble with a leaking sunroof on a Ford Focus. Common sense told me it was the seal around the window; however, a little research uncovered the existence of small drain holes under the roof in the front and back. Pouring water in the drain trays revealed the front drain was blocked.
How to clean the drain? A pipe-cleaner was too short. What would work as a tiny drain snake? As I was changing a string on an acoustic guitar it hit me — this A-string looks just like a miniature plumbing snake. It worked perfectly and saved hundreds of dollars in repair bills. Hmmm… maybe I should apply for a patent on the "guitar string plumbing snake"?
