FINAL4! Here we come!
Two years ago at the ides of March we have come to the gates of an incomprehensible success. We were hosting the stars of the Turkish giant Fenerbahce for a decisive game three at 1-1 in the Euroleague Women quarter finals. What happened is unbelievable to this day! Thanks to a great team effort we destroyed our opponents, and celebrated our second ever Final4 qualification!
Fans started gathering an hour and a half before tip-off in the arena, and the girls cmae on court to start warming up in a fantastic atmosphere.
18 seconds into the game we were already ahead. Aleks made a lay-up and then she was successful from the paint in the next offensive possession (1st minute 4-0)! The guests turned the game their way with baskets by Vaughn and Sottana (4-6), while at the other end Yvonne and Jeca put the team on their back, and regained the lead for us (5th minute 9-6). The teams were neck and neck afterwards, but the end of the period went better for the guests, and so the scoreboard showed a slight away lead (10th minute 17-21).
We opened the second quarter with a 7-2 run forcing Fenerbahce to call a time-out two minutes into the period (12th minute 24-23). A huge battle was going on between the sides, but neither was able to top the other, however, we had a small advantage by the half-time break thanks to a basket by Yvonne (20th minute 33-31).
The second half was opened by a great showing from Danielle Page, whose two made shots worth five points erupted the arena (22nd minute 38-31)! What's more, by the middle of the quarter our advantage got to ten points after a free throw by Aleks (26th minute 47-37), from which we had managed to keep nine until the end of the third period (30th minute 52-43).
Jeca got the ball in the corner. We got the final stage of the game going with a triple. That also marked the beginning of a six-and-a-half-minute-long 12-0 scoring run, to which the Turkish put an end with a free throw (37th minute 64-44). In the final minutes we were able to afford making some trick moves as well. We entertained our fans who were celebrating with two minutes left on the game clock with an "exhibition game". In the end Cora made another shot, but nobody cared anymore (40th minute 67-46)!
Sopron Basket: Fegyverneky 4, Turner 29/6, Crvendakic 7, Milovanovic 9/6, Jovanovic 2 Sub.: Page 12, Salvadores 4, Dubei -
Fenerbahce SK: Plum 8/6, Sottana 6, Powers 1, Verameyenka 7/3, Vaughn 13 Sub.: Dabovic 5/3, Kizer 4, Cora 2, Vardarli -, Bilgic -, Canitez -
Roberto Iniguez: I have mixed feelings. I am very sad about the tragedy that hurt Alaina. On the other hand I am very happy about the result! I don't know what to say, everyone saw what we have done! We have worked hard every day and believed strongly in ourselves, to be able to make it for Alaina. What we have accomplished is incredible! We have an extremely hard week behind ourselves. After the second game we weren't sure if Aleks could play today or not, but she joined in the battle even with her legs hurting, just like Angela after the anaphylactic shock. I am absolutely proud! The played very well together, and we played for Alaina today, too! I hope she can be with us in the FINAL4 again. This is her team, her second home, we are here for her! The girls have deserved the FINAL4. We are a young team and have caused a huge surprise! I can get ready for my fifth FINAL4, I was there with all of my teams, and I know what it feels like, but my players didn't realize what they have accomplished today! We owe a huge thank you to the fans for their support, we were flying with them today! Even one hour before the game we got a great boost from them when we walked out on court to warm up. We have already won the game there! I am very tired, I have been working restlessly since August 15th. Tonight I'm going to drink a beer, and then I'll go to sleep, and tomorrow I will have rest. I will set aside basketball for a day.

It was a beautiful 75 degrees here in Austin, Texas, and I had some driving to do. So as my day went on I noticed that for the first time I was really close to achieving over 40 miles on a single charge. As I rolled into my garage my trip indicator showed "40.0" miles, and my battery indicator guessed I had 1 mile left! Hopefully I can go even higher, but I was hoping other would post here if you have personally gotten 40 miles or more of range on a single charge. Please share a photo of your dashboard (and no cheating with partial charges ).

Nuclear Procurement Project Update
Phase 2 of the Request for Proposals (RFP) Process
Phase 2 of the RFP focused the competition on the cost of power, on-time delivery and investment in Ontario.
The competitive process was designed to help ensure the greatest amount of cost certainty, lowest possible price and a fair approach to risk sharing.
Working with Respondents on Pricing and Risk Sharing
During Phase 2 a number of bilateral commercially confidential meetings were held with each respondent to discuss the uncertainties and challenges in pricing and the commercially balanced way to deal with such issues as the deterioration of global credit markets, fluctuation in commodity prices, inflation, construction quantities and similar commercial uncertainties involved in a 10-year multibillion dollar project.
Proposals Received
Infrastructure Ontario received proposal submissions from AREVA NP, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and Westinghouse Electric Company for the Nuclear Procurement Project RFP.
Evaluating the Respondents
To achieve the best possible deal for Ontarians, respondents to the Nuclear Procurement Project RFP were evaluated in three key areas:
- Lifetime cost of power
- Ability to meet Ontario's timetable to bring new electricity supply on line
- Level of investment in Ontario
Evaluation Results
Following an evaluation of the proposal submissions, it was determined that AECL had the best proposal.
- AECL is willing to accept the terms and conditions of the project agreement
- AECL has the most risk transfer -- but at an unacceptable price
Knowledge Gained
The competitive process has provided significant market intelligence on pricing and risk tolerance at an early stage in a ten-year multi-billion dollar project.
Crucial knowledge about structuring a fair deal will help the Ontario government move forward when it is prudent to proceed to next steps.
Phase 1
- On March 7, 2008, the Ontario Government announced a two-phase competitive procurement process to choose a preferred nuclear reactor vendor
- In April 2008, a series of Commercially Confidential Meetings were held with potential vendors
- On May 9, 2008, Infrastructure Ontario announced that three vendors had submitted Phase 1 Proposal Submissions as required by the RFP
- On June 5, 2008, Infrastructure Ontario announced that all three vendors that had submitted Phase 1 Proposal Submissions received 'satisfactory' ratings and would be invited to proceed to Phase 2 of the RFP
Phase 2
- On June 16, 2008, Infrastructure Ontario released Phase 2 of the Nuclear Procurement Project RFP
- From July to December 2008, a series of bilateral confidential meetings took place on aspects of design readiness and commercial aspects of the project
- On February 27, 2009, Infrastructure Ontario announced that all three respondents submitted Phase 2 Proposal submissions
- On May 28, 2009, the Government of Canada announced that it was proceeding with a restructuring of AECL
- On June 29, 2009, the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure announced that the Nuclear Procurement Project RFP was being suspended because of concern about pricing and uncertainty regarding AECL's future

Over the last decade, international investment law has become an increasingly relevant discipline. To some extent, the law's rise to prominence merely follows factual developments, namely the increased importance of foreign direct investment. Yet another factor would seem to be equally important: International law has accepted an increasingly broad notion of 'investment', and thereby included a heterogeneous range of economic transactions into the area of investment law and within the potential jurisdiction of investment tribunals. The study under review, a doctoral dissertation submitted by Jan-Frederik Belling, analyses this latter factor, and in so doing, helps us appreciate the surprising rise to prominence of a niche area of law whose future, a generation ago, seemed at best uncertain.

Ep: 12 MilSpouse Drama
Dec 5th, 2017 by dearmilfamily at 10:38 pm
Drama is hard to avoid online sometimes. But we can do some things before we engage in it. We teamed up with Britni Miltner of MilSpouse Resource and Oak Tree Network to discuss a few listener submitted stories and talk about what we can all do to make sure our interactions with each other are positive and supportive.


text:
The importance of funds and the rise in activity in the secondary markets have been identified in our research this year as two of the most significant developments currently impacting the global projects market. Along with the continuing interest in renewables projects across EMEA, as well as the consequences of corruption scandals throughout Latin America, it is clear that project financing around the world has remained an active field for lawyers involved.
The secondary markets have been pinpointed as a major hub of projects-related work over the past year by sources to our research, who highlighted a substantial amount of activity in relation to M&A transactions and portfolio sales. Lawyers we spoke to in the UK emphasised a trend towards "fewer greenfield brand-new projects and much more acquisition finance and secondary market refinancing projects", adding that the reduction in greenfield activity is a trend seen across much of Western Europe. As one interviewee put it, "A large number of transactions at the moment are about amendment, extension, refinancing and restructuring – finding ways to leverage transactions rather than the classic or brand-new greenfield project financings." Lawyers are now "beginning to see capital being recycled through securitisation-type structures as well", a trend they consider only likely to grow in the coming years.
However, where greenfield projects have occurred, sources have identified a resurgence of the role of traditional banks in the market. One lawyer notes, "We've been seeing a lot more activity in the last 12 months; a lot more interest in, and ability to finance, greenfield projects, with more traditional banks coming back into the market." Over the past few years, banks have played a diminished role in the financing of projects: "Banking business has suffered under the regulatory constraints put on them," as one source puts it. In that time, the gap has been filled by alternative finance providers including private equity funds and resource-specific funds. Despite this, interviewees note they "now see more opportunity for the mainstream commercial banks to come back in again and provide debt for greenfield and expansion projects", perhaps paving the way for an increasingly diverse pool of finance sources for the projects market.
"The biggest long-term trend in this area has been the tremendous growth of infrastructure funds across the globe," observes one interviewee we spoke with. The raising of money for purposes of investment in infrastructure, for instance, has been seen, involving various players including private equity funds, asset managers and pensions funds among others. Lawyers note "a tremendous amount of concentration of money in that form" which has "greatly increased the M&A activity" when it comes to projects and related assets – "What all the money out there has done is increase the number of people buying and selling these assets." In the US, sources noted that infrastructure finance has been "very slow coming" but have hastened to add it is a considerable portion of projects work in the country. Indeed, as one lawyer put it, "In the US, project finance has come to mean infrastructure finance."
Across the Middle East, lawyers have witnessed "a big push" towards renewable energy projects in recent years. One source notes, "There have always been a lot of projects going on in renewables in Jordan and Egypt but it's really coming alive now." On the oil and gas side there has been a big shift towards petrochemical and downstream projects, creating a growing volume of work in that area. Population-related infrastructure has also come to the fore, with countries announcing the building of major projects, such as Saudi Arabia building wastewater treatment plants as part of the national Water & Electricity Corporation's "Vision 2030" initiative. Such activity has prompted lawyers to predict a great increase in mandates in the area.
Elsewhere, Israel has seen a significant uptick in government-driven work recently. "The Israeli project finance scene has been asleep for many years and is now awakening," comments one source. The government is looking to launch a new gas pipeline between the country and Egypt, as well as to commence a host of infrastructure investment projects on roads, subways and highways. The development of its railway and light-rail lines has been singled out by lawyers as "the mega-event of the infrastructure scene in Israel", and one that is set to provide practitioners in the country with a substantial amount of work in the coming years.
In Africa, "people are still waiting for many places to really get going", say sources, observing that "there are still major power shortages" in some areas and more of an emphasis on extractive industries – sectors such as oil and mining are "where most international investment is focused". Despite this, others we spoke note this issue is now often being addressed. They have "seen a trend for developing countries to build infrastructure – such as terminals to receive LNG – to address power shortages and needs". There remains a lot of work being done on the solar side, with renewables work picking up and "becoming a bigger and bigger slice of the work" for projects lawyers. One interviewee commented, "In the last five years, Africa has been seen as a continent where, if you're acknowledging the risk you take in being a developer in the market, then equity returns are better than if you did projects in Europe." It is clear that the legal market envisages no let-up in the EMEA region for projects matters in the coming years, with activity across a range of sectors – from transport to energy – maintaining a high volume.
South America has continued to deal with the aftermath of the major corruption scandals arising from Brazilian construction companies that have plagued the construction and projects industries over the past few years. Consequences of the scandal have not only had an effect in Brazil, but have also reverberated across the continent, with criminal investigations concerning past projects undertaken across several South American countries. For instance, lawyers we spoke to in Peru commented, "Given the situation, the government is being very slow in terms of bringing new projects to market," adding, "There is a general fear among public servants in bringing projects to market, as they don't know if several years down the road, they'll be investigated themselves." An environment of caution and uncertainty currently seems to permeate the projects space in the region, with a lot of projects either on hold or cancelled, particularly when it comes to those with governmental ties. One source laments, "We are basically now relying on private-side projects or expansions of previous PPP projects," adding that this is the best way to maintain a level of activity in the sector. However, it remains unclear what impact corruption scandals such as that of Brazilian corporation Odebrecht will continue to have on the projects market across the region.
In the coming years, the projects market expects to see many of the trends from the past 12 months carry on. Sources observe that "renewables in the Middle East, Asia and Africa will continue to be an important part of the project finance mix going forward". Meanwhile, others predict that "battery-metals projects will be the big thing going into the next year", emphasising that the focus will be on resources such as lithium, cobalt and nickel – they anticipate big projects in these areas over the next few years. Despite this uncertainty, the ever-evolving nature of financing sources, and the types of projects across the globe, will be sure to provide the legal market with a diverse and active pipeline of work.

A kiss unites two people by love or pleasure, but what most people don't realize is the actual science behind that kiss.
Today is International Kissing Day, which started in the United Kingdom and has recently been adopted globally. Justin Lehmiller, a Harvard professor of psychology and a Purdue alumnus, has conducted research on the science behind a kiss. Research has found each kiss releases chemicals to the brain that signals the kisser to kiss more in reaction to the pleasure that comes with it.
"People kiss because it is a highly pleasurable activity," Lehmiller wrote in an email. "Kissing releases 'pleasure chemicals' in the brain, namely dopamine."
Dopamine is a chemical released from the brain that causes pleasure. It can either be created unnaturally by using illicit substances such as marijuana or heroin or by rewarding activities such as eating or kissing.
"Hence the reason some people say passionate kisses are 'like a drug.'" Lehmiller said. "And because kisses can create such intensely pleasurable feelings, it keeps bringing people back for more."
Kissing is a cultural norm in terms of a relationship, so could science be a reason people come back for more? Maybe so, and according to Gen Zaroura, a clinical social worker and therapist in Lafayette, the endorphins released during kissing and intimacy create a happier, more stabilized relationship.
"Kissing and affection is important in a relationship," Zaroura said. "It connects people emotionally. It can also release endorphins that can make you feel more excited and happy ... It can affect the biochemistry immediately."
The endorphins cause the body to feel intimate emotions while affection is taking place. While kissing may stimulate these endorphins for some relationships, there are a variety of activities that serve the same purpose for different couples.
"If their both willing participants in the activities, their bodies release endorphins and are happier and more connected with each other," Zaroura said. "Be open with your significant other. Intimate touching and hugging, different people have different love languages. For one person it could be a physical effect, for another, it could be an act of service ... It's about meeting the other persons needs."
The science behind the kiss and physical affection can be a factor that is never realized in a relationship. Though affection may be a part of most relationships, Lehmiller said that it isn't just about our biology that creates affection.
"Of course, kissing isn't purely driven by our biology," Lehmiller said. "We also kiss because it is a socially learned behavior and a way that we try to show our feelings to someone else."

Try a Vegetarian Diet By Melissa Breyer Editorial Director Hunter College F.I.T., State University of New York Cornell University Melissa Breyer is Treehugger's editorial director. She is a sustainability expert and author whose work has been published by the New York Times and National Geographic, among others. our editorial process Melissa Breyer Updated August 16, 2019 Plant‐based diets are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Elena Eryomenko/Shutterstock Share Twitter Pinterest Email Wellness Health & Well-being Clean Beauty About 600,00 people die every year from heart disease in the United States; that's one in every four deaths. It is the leading cause of death for both men and women. To what do we owe this epidemic? Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provides some clues. A study of 44,500 people in England and Scotland revealed that vegetarians were 32 percent less likely to die or to need hospital treatment as a result of heart disease. The scientists looked at data from 15,100 vegetarians and 29,400 people who ate meat and fish. During the course of the 11-year study, 169 participants died from heart disease and 1,066 required hospital treatment — and those individuals were more likely to have been meat and fish eaters than vegetarians. Differences in cholesterol levels, blood pressure and body weight are thought to be behind the numbers. "Most of the difference in risk is probably caused by effects on cholesterol and blood pressure," said Dr. Francesca Crowe, lead author of the study at the Cancer Epidemiology Unit, University of Oxford. "Vegetarians probably have a lower intake of saturated fat, so it makes senses there is a lower risk of heart disease." The Oxford team calculated the risk reduction at 32 percent after accounting for other factors such as age, smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity, educational level and socioeconomic background. Crowe said, "The main message is that diet is an important determinant of heart health." And although the number is sobering, if you're an omnivore not ready to give up the whole hog, adopting some moderation still might help. New research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association offers hope for those who want to take the transition one step at a time. "While you don't have to give up foods derived from animals completely, our study does suggest that eating a larger proportion of plant-based foods and a smaller proportion of animal-based foods may help reduce your risk of having a heart attack, stroke or other type of cardiovascular disease," said lead researcher, Casey M. Rebholz, Ph.D. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean you can load up on the French fries or potato chips, but rather "unprocessed foods, like fresh fruit, vegetables and grains are good choices," said Mariell Jessup, M.D., the chief science and medical officer of the American Heart Association. Look for nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods like whole grains and dried legumes, and try to limit refined carbohydrates and added sugar (which is hidden in just about everything).

Community Foundation Update (06/22/19)
The Arizona Community Foundation has announced the appointment of Jennifer Perry as regional director of the ACF of Sedona. Perry most recently served as director of development for the Verde Valley Sanctuary and previously served as the director of development and a marketing and capital campaign consultant for the Sedona Public Library.
The Kern Community Foundation in Bakersfield has received a $2.5 million matching gift from former Kern County residents Judi and Rob McCarthy, The Record reports. Announced during a twentieth anniversary celebration for the foundation, which Judi McCarthy formerly served as board chair, the gift has been placed in the Robert and Judith McCarthy Family Fund and will support efforts focused on women and girls, K-12 education and youth, and Kern County as a whole. The gift also includes $400,000 set aside for a two-to-one match for the Women's and Girls' Fund.
The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven has announced that its Community Fund for Women and Girls is partnering with the Connecticut Women's Education and Legal Fund (CWEALF) on a bilingual community advocacy project that will provide underserved Latina populations with legal information, referrals to partner agencies, legal assistance, and education about paid family leave. CWEALF led the Connecticut Campaign for Paid Family Leave, and earlier this month the state legislature approved legislation guaranteeing twelve weeks of paid family leave. Beginning in 2021, workers in the state will be asked to contribute a small amount of their weekly earnings to a fund administered by the state for paid family and medical leave, and by 2022 eligible workers will be able to take up to a dozen weeks of paid leave to care for themselves, a loved one, or a new child.
The Central Indiana Community Foundation has announced that it will match all donations, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 raised from the community through the Keep Ann Dancing campaign. The opportunity, which opens Saturday, June 22, and will run through June 29, is designed to double the impact of each gift made in support of the campaign as well as other free and accessible art on the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. Ann Dancing, an electronic work by Julian Opie, is the oldest piece of art on the trail and was installed on what originally was supposed to be a temporary basis in January 2008. While the piece still graces the trail, its electronics need to be replaced. The four-week fundraising goal of $262,800 includes funds to refurbish the piece, establish a maintenance fund for the installation, and make improvements to the Ann Dancing plaza on the trail.
The Coffeyville Area Community Foundation has announced scholarships totaling more than $20,000 to twelve students, with awards ranging from $150 to $5,000.
The Cape Cod Foundation has announced a $10,000 grant to EforAll Cape Cod and Cape Cod Young Professionals (CCYP) in support of ongoing efforts to strengthen the local economy and workforce through entrepreneurship. EforAll, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit, introduced its innovative small business/nonprofit accelerator program to the Cape in 2018.
A Mary Theresa Mills Endowment Fund has been established at the Jackson Community Foundation in memory of Mary Mills, mLive.com reports. Mills, who died unexpectedly in April, was married to Rick Mills, a trustee of the foundation, and before her death they had discussed creating a fund at the community foundation. The fund created in her honor will support efforts at St. John Elementary School, which the Millses' three children attend, and Lumen Christi Catholic School, from which both Mary and Rick graduated in 1997.
The Kalamazoo Community Foundation has announced fifty-seven grants totaling $2.3 million in support of programs aligned with the foundation's priorities in the areas of equity and education. Grant recipients include the Can-Do Kitchen, Community Healing Centers, the Intrepid Professional Women Network, and Leader Dogs for the Blind.
The Oregon Community Foundation has announced the retirements of Kathleen Cornett and Megan Schumaker, effective July 1. Cornett, vice president of grants and programs, has served the foundation for more than three decades and helped introduce a number of initiatives, including the Latino Leadership Program, a statewide initiative to forge strong partnerships, personal connections, and shared values among Latino and non-Latino communities. Schumaker has worked at the foundation for twenty years, most recently as head of its responsive community grants program. Sonia Worcel will step into a new role as chief community impact officer.

Selected from more than a hundred and sixty applicants, the recipients will be eligible for $320,000 in scholarship aid over four years through the Carter Roger Williams Initiative, which was launched two years ago by philanthropists Letitia Carter and her late husband, John. In addition to the scholarships, the initiative hosts a website — findingrogerwilliams.com — that offers educational resources for students and educators and awards grants of up to $400 in support of school field trips to the Roger Williams National Memorial in Providence.
The Permian Basin Area Foundation in Midland has announced grants totaling more than $1.9 million to thirty-two organizations. Grant recipients include the Marfa Studio of Arts, CASA of West Texas, Sterling County EMS, and Teen F.L.O.W. Youth Ministry.
The Orcas Island Community Foundation in Eastsound has announced scholarships and awards totaling more than $126,000 to twenty-nine graduating high school seniors, including the Henigson's Scholarship, which will provide $8,000 annually over four years to two students.

Eddie Nketiah may have already found his new club.
The Arsenal striker has been linked with a loan move to Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, Bristol City, Norwich and Nottingham Forest after leaving Leeds last month.
And the Gunners' official website may have just dropped the 20 year-0ld's next destination.
It appears Nketiah has joined Bristol City on loan until the end of the season after arsenal.com listed the striker as a Robins player, even though there has been no official announcement.
Nketiah has shown great promise for Arsenal's u-23's and for the England u-23 side.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta revealed the frontman would not be considered to play in the first-team this season with another loan move more benificial for his career development.
Nketiah spent the first half on loan at Leeds United, but failed to make a major breakthrough. The Arsenal loanee was used sparingly as a substitute by Marcelo Bielsa.
He will be hoping to bag plenty of goals for his new side.

- This is my first community thread. I'd appreciate any and all feedback.
- This thread is for discussion of all RPGs.
- What is an RPG? Scholars are working on solving the question as we speak.
- I'll add new entries as they're contributed.
- Keep them to 80-140 words and focused on aspects that really spoke to you.
- Kenshi is a sandbox RPG, and is one of the best examples of emergent narratives because of it. The world of Kenshi is a cruel one. Wander too far from the safety of civilization and you'll likely be attacked by Dust bandits, become enslaved, or much worse. It's a game where I can play for 100 hours and barely survive being eaten by cannibals, while another another has a completely different experience by establishing a settlement. This results in incredible stories that are unique to you. The world is desolate, yet oddly breathtaking, and the soundtrack matches this. Contributed by Arulan
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance is my favorite open-world RPG in over a decade. The simulation of the world's inhabitants and the incredible attention to detail of quests goes a long way to making you believe in the world. It's one of those rare games where you think I wonder if this would work, and it almost always does. This isn't just a game where you can turn off quest markers, it feels like it was designed to be played without them. Great writing, beautiful landscapes, and new heights to immersion.

Remastered in Full 1080 HD Cheyenne Jewel is LIVID that the legitimacy of her fighting ability was called into question, and is out to prove a point by demonstrating her skills on this human punching bag. Clad in her karate GI, Cheyenne begins her onslaught by hammering her slave with bare-knuckled punches to the face and body. Following it with vicious bare foot kicks to the stomach, Cheyenne has her victim wincing from the sheer power as welts begin to form on his belly. Aroused by his agony, Cheyenne sardonically asks, "Not a fighter, huh?", as she savagely smashes her knee straight into her slave's nose. Working up lather, Cheyenne slowly removes her GI top and showcases her toned body. Utilizing her belt, Cheyenne whips the pansy ferociously and methodically wraps it around his neck to cut off his airways. Knocking her opponent flat on the mat with a kick to the face, Cheyenne sinisterly cackles and states, "That was a good one". Demonstrating her revered ground game, Cheyenne locks in a textbook juji gatame arm bar as the bludgeoning continues until the slave can take no more. Proving empirically and indisputably that Cheyenne Jewel CAN fight; she stands triumphant and victorious over her slave.

Following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017, government changed its guidelines in 2019 and early 2020 around building safety by issuing a series of advice notes. These notes are intended to give building owners clear guidance on how to make sure their homes are constructed and maintained safely.
What is happening?
Following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017, government changed its guidelines around building safety by issuing a series of advice notes. These notes are intended to give building owners clear guidance on how to make sure their homes are constructed and maintained safely.
Recently, mortgage lenders and valuers have begun asking people who apply for mortgages on homes in residential apartment buildings to provide independent certification that the property meets the requirements of the advice notes.
In January 2020, government combined all advice notes into one 'consolidated' advice note, which included some of the recommendations of the original Advice Note 14, including the certification now referred to as an 'EWS1' form. It also extended the requirements to buildings of any height.
The interpretation of the guidance by mortgage lenders and valuers has led to confusion and anxiety for homeowners. It is not a legal requirement for a building to meet the conditions of the consolidated advice note.
This does not mean that affected buildings are unsafe. It is a legal requirement for building owners to hold a current fire risk assessment for all buildings (that contain an internal communal area); Hyde complies with this requirement.
Lenders may still take the view that if independent certification cannot be provided to demonstrate compliance, they won't offer a mortgage.
What are we doing?
Our role is to build homes for people and to help people to make the moves they need. We want to support the mobility and life choices of homeowners and we are doing what we can, but there is no simple quick fix.
Along with our colleagues at the G15, the largest housing associations in London, we are calling on government to step in to offer clearer guidance for building owners and mortgage lenders.
We hope we will get the clarification we need from government in the coming months. Our hope is that this will reassure customers, allow mortgage lenders to relax their stance, and give building owners a reasonable timeframe in which to resolve any outstanding issues.
In the meantime, we will support homeowners by continuing to provide available documentation to them as part of their sale or staircase enquiry.
Reassurance about safety
The safety of our residents is our utmost priority. Hyde has committed £50 million to carry out enhanced fire risk assessments across 166 buildings - this goes above the minimum requirement. Results of these surveys have led to major works including cladding replacement and extensive works to prevent the spread of fire. We are also implementing the recommendations from Dame Judith Hackitt's review of building safety.
We would like to reassure our customers that all our purpose-built buildings:
- Received building control sign off at the time of build
- Received approval from a licensed warranty provider after they were built
- Have an up to date fire risk assessment, which we review regularly on frequencies recommended by our fire experts.
Who should I contact?

Psalm Forty Three
by Dr. Henry M. Morris
(taken from the Defender's Study Bible)
Psalm 43 is the only psalm in Book II of the Psalms (except for Psalm 71, q.v.) which has no title. The reason is that it is, in effect, a continuation of Psalm 42, both concluding with the same question. Yet it is clearly a different psalm, evidently written by the same unnamed author at a later time.
Psalm 43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Psalm 43:2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psalm 43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
thy light and thy truth. The Lord has, indeed, sent out His light and His truth, and we have much more light and access to truth than the psalmist had in his day. God's completed written Word is both light for our path (Psalm 119:105, 130) and truth for our faith (John 17:17; Psalm 119:160).
Psalm 43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
cast down. Compare Psalm 42:5, 11. Evidently Psalm 43 is essentially continuing the theme of Psalm 42.
O my soul! Note that, when Psalm 42 and 43 are combined into a continuous poem of sixteen verses, the first five verses, the next six verses, and the last five verses form a symmetrical pattern of three stanzas, each ending in essentially the same self-directed question and assurance.
health of my countenance. Note that the "help of [God's] countenance" in Psalm 42:5 became the "health of my countenance" in Psalms 42:11 and 43:5. The Hebrew words for "help" and "health" are actually the same.

FAMILY LAW: A Lawyer's best strategy!
The progress of a client's case under family law depends on the facts, the personalities of the client and of the opposing party. Playing important roles in the dispute are factors, like the client's wishes, the interactions of the two lawyers on both sides, and the perceptions of both the lawyer and client of the best way to achieve the client's goals. Not to be left out in this list are the benefits, values, and costs in continuing with, or abstaining from, a court proceeding.
It is for these reasons the potential consequences of negotiating or failing to negotiate is to be driven home relentlessly to the client. All circumstances of the case, specially the most important condition of status quo are to be considered thoroughly. It would be essential to find out which party is more motivated to try to change the status quo, as well as the costs, both financial and emotional, of starting litigation without having first explored all avenues of settlement. There are times when it is preferable to engage in negotiations only after a court case has been initiated (there is also a possibility that the opposition would become more stubborn in that event). Anyway, it opens up the possibility of a negotiated agreement, failing which the party motivated to change the status quo has the benefit of knocking at the doors of justice. If negotiation is started prior to litigation, it offers the best chance of resolving all issues without the additional stress, time, and expense of preparing court documents. It is necessary to keep in mind that if no settlement is reached, time will be lost as a court case is now to be commenced.
Time, as in every aspect of life, is of immense importance here. It is to be kept in mind that meaningful negotiations take time and have an impact on almost every issue in family law. So, there is the length of time a recipient (could be your client) goes without support, the status quo length of time a parent goes without seeing his or her child, and the length of time before a party's rights to claim an equalization payment of family property expires. In matters concerning family law, the longer life continues without a change in the status quo, the more likely that person's case will either be strengthened or weakened, depending on the facts and his or her perspective.
It is for the lawyer to tell the client what possibly could be obtained from a judge in the applicable court, and explain the cost and length of time it takes to get a judicial opinion or determination. It is imprudent if not downright foolish to spend eight months negotiating and then, when something happens, start a court case and attempt to convince a judge to bypass the normal requirement of a case conference on the grounds that something urgent has occurred. As opposed to this, keeping in mind that it takes two months from the time the Application is issued to the first case conference, the lawyer would temper the advice in terms of whether or not negotiations should be pursued first or only after the proceeding has been commenced. In that event, it would perhaps be advisable to initiate the lawsuit first and use the weeks preceding the case conference to try and negotiate all issues so that the Application gets stalled.
If without even attempting negotiation proceedings, commencing litigation would result in the opposing side usually taking great offence to that (justifiably, from their point of view). In times like this, the case becomes more difficult to resolve than it would have been otherwise. Such lapses are to be avoided as far as possible, and it is therefore incumbent on the counsel to emphasize the cost-benefit analysis of pursuing or refraining from negotiating with the client before any concrete steps are taken.
Case Conference
If negotiation does not produce any result, and alternative dispute resolution is not pursued, then one party could be expected to commence a court case to change the status quo. In the proceedings that follow, the case conference is the most important step in family law litigation. Excepting certain situations, no motion could be heard nor could any notice of motion be served until a case conference dealing with the substantive issues in the case have been completed. This provision does not apply when there is a situation of urgency or hardship or a case conference is not required for some other reason in the interest of justice. The purpose of a case conference is to give the litigants and their lawyers a chance to hear a judge's view on the case at an early stage, before thousands of dollars are spent on motions and other expensive steps. By bringing the issues out among the litigants with a judge explaining points of law, an early resolution of disputes is hoped for. Briefly, the agenda is as follows:
- Finding out the possibilities of settling the case – A case conference gives the parties a chance to see how far apart they are on the major issues. All this is brought about by a judge who is willing to explain how he or she sees the law applying to the facts of the case, including any particularly unusual or difficult facts and the way such facts might be perceived at a motion or trial.
- Pointing out the issues in dispute – Often the judge makes the parties realize that what they previously thought was an impassable issue is resolvable. Equally possible is that what was once taken for granted as not being in dispute may turn out to be very contentious.
- Finding ways to resolve disputed issues – Proposing realistic and achievable solutions that are acceptable to both parties, a case conference judge re-frames an issue so that the parties see it and their role in a new light, making it easier for settlement.
- Financial disclosure is made in full – Ensuring that full and complete financial disclosure is exchanged, without which settlement is impossible.
- Showing admissions that may simplify the case – A good listening judge gets the parties and their lawyers to talk openly about their true underlying motivations, which help identify common interests tending to generate settlement.
- Fixing the date for the next step in the case – A judge discusses whether the case conference has been successful and if so, whether a motion or a settlement conference will follow.

Saturday 14th September 10.00 to 16.00
David Simpson is leading a workshop on the making Christmas baubles like the ones demonstrated by Emma Cook, (the Tiny Turner).
If you're thinking of having a go at making these baubles or have already made a start and would like to give/receive encouragement to/from others please come along with your components.
A limited number of components will be available at £2.50 per bauble if you do not already have some.
As Rolf has said about such workshops, "they are not courses but workshops where we all learn from each other in an environment free from distractions."
I am sure we will all leave the workshop with at least one bauble.
There are 5 places available at a fee of £10 for club funds.

Wouldn't you love to get inside your car in the winter with the heat already blasting? In the summer, wouldn't it be amazing if your car was already pumping out ice cold A/C before you even got in? What you need is a remote car starter (aka automatic starter or remote start system). With a remote starter, you can conveniently start your vehicle without having to open the door and turn a key.
I sell, install and repair remote starters and offer the best deal on remote car starter installation in New Jersey. Keep reading to learn more about how a remote start works and the costs and process associated with installing remote starters.
If you are ready to add a remote car starter to you vehicle, give me a call at (908) 671-1414
How a remote car starter works is rather straightforward. There are essentially two parts. You have a receiver, which is an electrical starter module, and a transmitter, which is the remote. The starter module gets wired into your car's electrical system. When you push the start button on your remote key fob, a radio signal is sent to the receiver which starts the car just as if you were to insert a key into the ignition.
Keyless car starters are great for anybody and work on automatic and manual transmission vehicles. Remote car starters are perfect for those cold, snowy winters or hot summer days. The remote start will allow you to heat up or cool down your car before you even get inside.
We know all too well the danger of driving with snow and ice covering your vehicle during the winter. By using a remote car starter, you can heat your vehicle beforehand to help melt the snow and ice off of your vehicle for a safer drive.
Remote vehicle starters can even provide a return on your investment as they can increase your vehicle's resale value!
This is a hard question to answer. It depends on the vehicle, and the features you would like to have installed. A basic system could be $200.00 for a straightforward vehicle that does not have a factory installed immobilizer bypass.
One thing is for sure, much like Goldilocks' soups being too cold or too hot, some remote start installations are too expensive, but some can be too cheap! Have you ever seen a $99.00 remote start special on discount group buying promotional sites!? Yikes! I have! But we have also seen the insides of those installations too. The wiring is terrifying and we are often relieved that the vehicle did not catch fire. To quote one of our customers "What should I have expected from a $99.00 remote start system." That poor customer had extensive issues with her vehicle, all because of a fast and sloppy remote starter installation.
On the other hand, dealerships sometimes quote $700-1,000 for remote start systems. I will never try to be the cheapest. But I will always promise to be the best. My installations take time. Why, because I do not cut corners. Fast installations often lead to future trouble. I solder all data connections and insure that the remote start system is a permanent, reliable, trusted component of your vehicle. My installation is my signature, my calling card. When another facility sees the wiring, I want them to immediately know that the equipment was installed in a careful manner with pride.
Most of my installations and remote start products come with a lifetime guarantee. Typically the only time you will need to worry about an issue is if you change the vehicle's battery, or if your key-fob batter dies. If either of those events occur, call me and I will get you back up and running.
You won't find a better remote car starter deal in New Jersey. You won't get the same service and affordability if you go to a dealership or other big box shop.
I have been in business for 14+ years. I carry the top remote car starter brands, so when you purchase from me you always get a high quality product designed to last. My top priority is making sure that your installation is given the time and attention that it needs to minimize the likelihood that you ever have an issue.
Find out why I install hundreds of remote start systems every winter.

This full-bodied dark brew has an intense roast flavor with a huge malt influence. The hop bitterness is offset by a touch of sweetness from the big malt character. Give this beer some time to mature and consider using an oak alternative for added complexity.

Rome, Georgia Wedding at The Farm by Scobey Photography
While I love to ooh and ahh over the extravagant, opulent, over-the-top and (needless to say) gorgeous weddings with all the glitz and glamour, I would have to say that my personal style is a little different. It is a bit more simple, classic and understated. Kristina and Matthew's rustic and elegant wedding at The Farm, drenched in peaches and soft blues, definitely spoke to my personal style. The bride opted for fabric flowers for her wedding, accented by pieces of cream burlap and pearls. Her bouquet was one of a kind with music notes stamped on the petals, a nod to her soon to be husband's love of music, and provided a permanent keepsake of their big day. Take a stroll on the farm and have a gander at this family centered and detail oriented day with photos by Colorado wedding photographers Scobey Photography.
Tell us how you met. Was it love at first sight, blind date, friends forever? We want to know the particular!
We had an unconventional beginning, on a free dating website. We met about a month after we starting exchanging emails and it was us against the world ever since. We both knew on our first date rock climbing that this was it.
Now for the proposal…details!
Matt and I went on a transatlantic cruise, the ship stopped in Scotland. I lot a everything about that country and Matt knew that I was looking forward to this stop the most. We went to a castle and Matt got down on one knee in the castle over looking the Scottish country side. I was completely shocked!
Can you give us an overview of the event?
Our wedding was a small destination wedding in the northern GA mountains. We held an intimate wedding filled with personal touches.
Was there a specific theme or style? What inspired it?
I was inspired by antiques and do it yourself projects. I made almost everything at our wedding from napkin rings to homemade vanilla extract favors.
What were your playful twists that made the event unique?
Our homemade touches made our wedding one of a kind. I still get phone calls when our guests use our homemade vanilla extract its a great feeling.
Did you DIY any of the details?
Yes, I DIYed many elements. I created a homemade photo wall made from a coffee table standing on its side, i used twine to hang wedding photos throughout the our families generations, I also handmade our vanilla extract favors over 6 months, bottled and packaged them, I cut fabric and created napkin rings gluing sparkling buttons onto each one, handmade the boutonnières for each groomsmen out of music sheets and ribbon. I DIYed my center pieces using 100 year old tea cups owned by my great grandmother.
What was the most memorable moment?
Seeing my incredible husband as I walked down the aisle at the church it was absolutely unforgettable.
Tell us about your wedding gown and what your wedding party wore.
My beautiful Mom only tried on one wedding dress and fell in love, after she told me the story I found myself rolling my eyes thinking that will never happen to me. As it turns out, like mother like daughter, I bought the first dress I tried on. To me, that dress was magic, in just the right light it flashed the slightest hue of peach, the separate lace overlay added a vintage charm, and the belt enhanced the peach undertone of the dress. This dress was an extension rather that a departure of my normal wardrobe. I often layer jackets and belts, and with the layers in the dress it allowed the dress to change throughout the night by removing the overlay. The bridesmaids' dresses were not as easy. I had a very specific blue in mind, not baby blue, not bright blue, but a soft smokey antique blue. I held out until I found it, and I am so glad I did.
Tell us about the food and desserts.
We went to a local restaurant in the small town closest to our venue. The food was a huge hit we still get comments about the pecan crusted chicken. We also provided the restaurant with a jalapeño popper recipe that we love, they were served as part of the passed appetizers.
What kind of energy did your entertainment give the event?
We had an incredible live band! They kept the energy going all night. The live band gave a completely different feel than a DJ it was like being at a concert!
If there was one thing you could change, what would it be?
I would have brought my makeup bag to the ballroom so I could touch up through the night.
What was the best wedding advice you received?
Pay attention through the day because it will go by so quickly.
