Article in PDF Format Resources
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Turner v. Rogers (2011) stresses the due-process rights of self-represented litigants. Courts should see this decision as an opportunity to improve their services and programs for such litigants.
Richard ZorzaCoordinator, Self-Represented Litigation Network
On June 20, 2011, the United States Supreme Court, in its first trip to the self-represented courtroom in 25 years, issued a groundbreaking opinion in Turner v. Rogers (2011) about the due-process rights of the self-represented and what courts must do to ensure that they are given true access to justice. The decision challenges judges and court administrators to build consensus around innovations and improvements. This article briefly summarizes the core holding of Turner, including its broader due-process elements, suggests the approaches that courts and access-to-justice institutions might consider to deal with the broad implications of the decision, and offers concrete resources to assist in that process. The good news is that many of the needed access innovations are already being deployed and have now been effectively endorsed by the Supreme Court in this decision.
Significantly, the case as it came to the Supreme Court was in a posture that did little to suggest the ultimate broad reach of its holding—one very different from that sought by either of the parties. In the South Carolina Supreme Court, a child support obligor sought reversal of his civil-contempt-incarceration order on the grounds that he had lacked counsel. (The party seeking the incarceration order was not the state and also did not have counsel.) After South Carolina had rejected the claim, certiorari was granted. During briefing of the case, the solicitor general, representing the United States, urged rejection of both the self-represented litigant's right-to-counsel claim and the respondent's urging of affirmance. The solicitor general urged that although there was no categorical right to counsel in such cases, the failure of the trial court to follow available alternative procedures that would have protected the litigant's due-process rights required reversal.
The Supreme Court agreed:And we consequently determine the "specific dictates of due process" by examining the "distinct factors" that this Court has previously found useful in deciding what specific safeguards the Constitution's Due Process Clause requires in order to make a civil proceeding fundamentally fair. Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U. S. 319, 335 (1976) (considering fairness of an administrative proceeding). As relevant here those factors include (1) the nature of "the private interest that will be affected," (2) the comparative "risk" of an "erroneous deprivation" of that interest with and without "additional or substitute procedural safeguards," and (3) the nature and magnitude of any countervailing interest in not providing "additional or substitute procedural requirement[s]." . . .
[A]s the Solicitor General points out, there is available a set of "substitute procedural safeguards," Mathews, 424 U. S., at 335, which, if employed together, can significantly reduce the risk of an erroneous deprivation of liberty. They can do so, moreover, without incurring some of the drawbacks inherent in recognizing an automatic right to counsel. Those safeguards include (1) notice to the defendant that his "ability to pay" is a critical issue in the contempt proceeding; (2) the use of a form (or the equivalent) to elicit relevant financial information; (3) an opportunity at the hearing for the defendant to respond to statements and questions about his financial status, (e.g., those triggered by his responses on the form); and (4) an express finding by the court that the defendant has the ability to pay. . . . The record indicates that Turner received neither counsel nor the benefit of alternative procedures like those we have described. . . . The court nonetheless found Turner in contempt and ordered him incarcerated. Under these circumstances Turner's incarceration violated the Due Process Clause (Turner v. Rogers, 2011: slip opinion at 11, 14, 16).
There are a number of important points about the opinion as a whole that should be emphasized:
Some state court systems might respond to the decision by a cursory review of their procedures and conclude that since a) they do not use civil-contempt incarceration in child support cases, b) they provide counsel in such cases, or c) provide the notice, forms, questioning, and fact finding required in Turner in such cases, they do not need to pay attention to the case.
In the opinion of this writer, such an approach would be seriously flawed. It would fail to recognize the broad legal import of the decision, particularly its groundbreaking application of the due-process clause to the rights of the self-represented, and would fail to embrace the opportunity for expanding the already launched systemic access-to-justice improvements upon which the decision implicitly relies. Moreover, the Supreme Court's effective endorsement of innovations that are already being broadly deployed—such as greater judicial engagement and user-friendly forms—should reassure the states that their access-innovation efforts will find support at the highest judicial levels.
The decision, and its endorsement of an engaged role for judges in self-represented cases, provides clear permission for judges to continue on their current path of experimenting with ways to make sure that the self-represented are fully heard. Those who have felt inhibited in doing so for fear of being perceived as non-neutral should be reassured that they have received both Department of Justice (DOJ) and Supreme Court imprimatur for such engagement, provided, of course, that it is neutral and consistent with ethical rules. Those who have believed that their lack of engagement is required by the Constitution would be advised to reconsider their position.
It may be that part of the reason that DOJ felt able to support, and the Supreme Court endorsed, such judicial questioning is that there are now extensive research-based protocols for such neutral engagement. In any event, these protocols demonstrate that questioning, particularly when carefully structured in an engaged context, runs little if any risk of being, or even appearing, non-neutral. Examples of such best practices are making clear in the "framing" of the case that questions are likely, but not an indication of sympathy or leanings, as are follow-up questions that elicit the detail needed to decide the case on sufficiently full information.
More generally, judges might be wise to bear in mind the teaching of Turner that in self-represented cases the procedures of the case as a whole must be sufficient to provide the accuracy and fairness appropriate to the stake and situation. Turner encourages judges to consider how their discretion in applying governing procedural rules can be used to ensure that there is such sufficient accuracy and fairness. Implicit in Turner is the perhaps obvious point that the many court opinions reiterating that the same rules must be applied, regardless of whether someone has a lawyer, do not and cannot mean that those rules have to be applied without taking into account the representation status of the parties. It must always be remembered that to refuse to consider an exercise of discretion is an abuse of discretion.
Moreover, judges might decide to remain alert in all cases to the possibility of insufficiency in meeting due-process standards. Moreover, to the extent that they viewed this (with good reason) as placing an impossible sua sponte burden on them, they might wish to ensure that the court has in place services and procedures sufficient to ensure that such standards are met, thereby freeing them of the ongoing review obligation.
Finally, they might find it constitutionally advisable to take appropriate action when they find, as suggested by Turner, that the facts, circumstances, and required procedures are such that without counsel it is not possible for them to manage the case in such a way as to provide the sufficient fairness and accuracy required by Turner. In such cases an appointment of counsel, using whatever inherent or other authority, and whatever financing mechanisms are available, is called for, and surely will be given deference by the rest of the system.
Judges and others responsible for judicial education might well regard Turner as an opportunity for a renewed focus on the many challenges involved in self-represented cases and for a sustained and multicomponent initiative on helping judges deal with those challenges. Such an initiative might, building on model resources already available, include developing state-specific bench books on the topic, presenting customized judicial educational programs, making videos about best practices, performing educational role playing of problems and best-practice solutions, and establishing judicial support networks for further discussion of these issues.
While Turner identifies as "available" only two specific nonjudicial procedures that were desirable but absent in the facts of that case—notice of the key issue and forms—the analysis is clear that the totality of the procedures are to be considered in the due-process fairness-and-accuracy analysis.
Thus, the good news for court administrators is that there is already available and tested a wide range of effective innovations that can enhance fairness and accuracy. Many of these can be implemented at low or zero cost. Turner provides an opportunity to analyze court operations and to assess whether such innovations could enhance accuracy and fairness of outcomes in accordance with the requirements of the decision. Specifically:
Many of these innovations could easily be built into the reengineering programs that many courts are now starting. Indeed, they would help ensure that these reengineering efforts improve access as well as efficiency. (See the "Resources" section.)
The process of review and innovation envisioned by this article will not occur without leadership. For states with access-to-justice commissions, the choice of who should lead the process may be simple. The commissions have the credibility of being creatures of the court system, but also the leverage that comes from having members from a wide variety of constituencies. Moreover, they may be found to be more appropriate review vehicles than the state supreme court, given that the Court might ultimately be asked to rule on the sufficiency of the state's procedures under Turner due-process standards.
In such states, indeed, the state supreme court might find it appropriate to formally ask the access-to-justice commission to work with the state administrative office of the courts to conduct such a comprehensive Turner review of key case types for the self-represented, with a particular focus on those in which the stake for the litigants is greatest, such as loss of home or family integrity. In states without a commission, the court might find it appropriate to create a special body, one which might indeed evolve into a commission.
Turner v. Rogers may turn out to be a highly significant decision for the day-to-day operations of the courts, one that plays a major role in fulfilling the core promise of courts as institutions that offer access to justice for all. Court leaders and staff at all levels have the opportunity to participate in giving life and meaning to this vision and these values.

Blue Fox Run Golf Club in Avon, Connecticut
Tom Landers
By Tom Landers
Published on 10/12/2006
Blue Fox Run Getting a New Look
You can sense the anticipation of golfers playing this fall at Avon, Ct.'s Blue Fox Run Golf Club as they anxiously eye work taking place off to the side of several holes on the front nine of the course.
Indeed, big things are going on at Blue Fox, considered one of the premier public facilities in the state of Connecticut. The layout is in fact undergoing a $4 million renovation that will add nine new holes and alter the routing of the first nine holes of the present 18-hole tract.
Hence, all the bulldozers, land movers and workmen digging, scrapping and sculpting new holes that will be located on the clubhouse side of the Farmington River, which presently divides the course in two parcels.
Barry Wilson, general manager of the facility, which has won numerous accolades for its welcoming atmosphere and parent-friendly amenities, such as a day care and play area for young children, said the new holes will upgrade Blue Fox and make it a contender with such splendid new Hartford-area tracts such as Gillette Ridge Golf Club and Wintonbury Hills Golf Course in Bloomfield.
"We felt we needed to alter the course to add a new luster to it and put more challenge into the existing holes. There have been some great new public courses come on line in the last few years in the area and we needed to upgrade our facility to appeal to more golfers."
Noted golf course architect Stephen Kay is overseeing work on the new holes as well as the bunker changes on existing holes. Players will have the option of playing any combination of the three nine-hole tracks. Work is expected to be completed in spring of 2008.
Work has already taken place to the front side, and several holes, such as the island green 17th and the 18th (already a very good finishing hole) on the back side.
The improvement is very evident from the time you step onto the first tee box. In addition to the overall enhanced conditions of the entire course--from tee boxes to the greens--existing bunkers have been reshaped and some new ones added to give the course more character and challenge.
The present sixth hole, an already beefy 430-yard par four that sometimes plays into a strong head wind, will be lengthened even further to around 460 yards from the tips and will be the first hole on the "new" nine. Other holes will be lengthened, with the result being that when the present 18 holes (including three new holes) are played the track will stretch to around 7,000 yards and be a true championship test, said Wilson.
The new nine (six brand new holes and three taken from the existing front side) will be somewhat shorter in length, but there will be water on several holes and other difficulties in the form and bunkers and tight fairways.
"It's going to be a totally new experience for our golfers and we think they will love the new holes," said Wilson.
There are hopes that the new holes and lengthening of some of the existing ones will again attract interest from professional and major amateur tournament organizers. The course hosted a women's Futures Tour event for several years before the tourney was moved to Gillette Ridge.

Watch: Fabolous Talks About His Response To Kendrick Lamar's 'Control' Verse
With the release of his mixtape, Soul Tape 3 (Dec. 25), Fabolous' clever wordplay was in full effect, particularly on the song titled "The Get Back."
Within the melody, the Brooklyn-native recites his response to Kendrick Lamar's controversial "Control" lyrics, which initially sparked a tweet from the "Breathe" rapper once the Big Sean song was released.
"At first hearing [Control], I was ready to just go in the studio and just fire it back, because it just felt like somebody kinda disrespected your home." Fabolous said in an interview with Fuse. "So I sat and listened to it and I heard different things. I spoke to some of the OGs and they just was like, Take your time, see what's going on with it. 'Cause a lot of people were jumping at it just for the attention's sake. Once I started paying attention, I knew something that I didn't hear the first time: that it was actually a line from a Kurupt rap."
Watch the video below to hear the full detail behind his song, "The Get Back."

I adore the man,
My first love
To give everything could seem enough,
But yet perfect love is immeasurable.
I love this man,
He first loved me then fixed me.
He didn't just tell but showed
That there is more to unconditional
Than what the oxford told.
I owed this man.
Because he lost so I could win,
So i gave him my heart.
And then I won another man,
One after the other man's heart.
This other man;
The blessing of my first love,
The knight in every armour,
Pitched camp at my castle
And re-set a rhythm some place beyond my ribcage.
This other man;
He loves with the strength of Samson,
And leads with the wisdom of Solomon.
My fear bids farewell in this perfection.
Because perfect love casts out fear.

Kim Kardashian Got Super Woke About #MuslimBan
Can she convince Caitlyn Jenner?
Social media has been taken over with backlash over the #MuslimBan and Kim Kardashian had something to say. The reality star showed off her social conscience by sharing some statistics about terrorism and what's really killing Americans.
In her tweet, Kim shares the number of Americans killed annually by Islamic jihadist immigrants (2) versus say, lightning (31) and armed toddlers (21).
Fans were loving the woke Kim.
Kim has increasingly been taking a stance on social issues. In 2016, she made a post about #BlackLivesMatter and encouraged fans to donate to the families of those killed by police violence.
Kim's tweet has over 180k Retweets and 358k likes. It's unclear if Donald Trump has seen it on his timeline.

← Back to main page
DivX web player is
W3C compatible, & that's
Post associated on the DivX forum
This issue was resolved a few months after I made this webpage by the release of the DivX web player version 1.1.
Thanks to the DivX team for having fixed it.
OK, I think you all know about the
W3C validator
test. Some of us despite it, some of us don't put any code in their pages that isn't validated by it. It's a huge debate.
Considering embedded videos, it's quite hard to have some valid code. Three main methods are known:
Method n°
all browsers
tag used
object + classid
w3c valid
On the web, the most common code is a mixture between the first & the second method (as the
DivX Web Player code generator
Here is what the W3C says:
Generic inclusion: the OBJECT element
(HTML 4.01 Specification - W3C Recommendation 24 December 1999)
Inserting objects into HTML
(W3C Working Draft 18-Feb-1997)
OK, let's also provide some sample. I want to play some Windows Media Audio sound (*.wma). By default, on many browsers running on Windows, it will be played by the Windows Media Player plug-in. Check the
page of your browser to see.
on Firefox:
on Opera:
Method n°
OK. So here, we have found a method (the method 3) that is both valid & works on our three browsers.
I've noticed that both solutions 2 & 3 don't seem to work in a particular case (the Windows Media Player 6.4 control + Internet Explorer 6 case). To correct this problem, give the hand to a more recent version of the Windows Media Player control (like 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11), or use another browser (the Windows Media Player 6.4 control + Firefox work). Most of the time, if the system registry wasn't intentionnaly modified, the Windows Media Player 6.4 control is not set by default on Windows XP.
We don't really want ActiveX (altough it seems valid), because we don't want a Windows&IE-linked code. As the method 3 is working on Windows Media Audio files, it should work on DivX files, right?
Let's check the associations again.
on Firefox:
on Opera:
OK, so let's try the valid method (
method 3
It doesn't work for Firefox & Opera.
So, is it a bug from Firefox & Opera, or is it a bug in the DivX Web Player?
I just think it's a shame the DivX Web Player isn't W3C compatible.
put your comment
code method that is supposed to work, & isn't.
Test done on Linux Mandriva One (LiveCD) 2007 Mona (RC1) with Konqueror 3.5.4 & Kaffeine 0.8.1. This method might not work for all WMA types on Linux, depending on the codec used in the WMA file. But it prooves that the HTML code works, & that's what I was looking for.

Two al Qaida-linked brothers suspected of killing 12 people at a Paris newspaper came out with guns blazing, prompting an assault on the printing plant where they had been holed up with a hostage, a French police official said.
The pair were killed and their hostage was freed, authorities said.
Another gunman who took at least five hostages this afternoon at a kosher grocery in Paris also died in a near-simultaneous raid there, said Gael Fabiano, of the UNSA police union.
Moments later, several people were seen being led out of the Porte de Vincennes grocery store but security forces could still be seen moving around. It was not clear exactly how many hostages had been at the store or how many were freed.
Two police officials said at least four people, including the attacker, died.
France has been on high alert since the country's worst terror attack in decades - the massacre on Wednesday in Paris at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead.
Two groups of terrorists had seized hostages at separate locations around the French capital, facing off against thousands of French security forces as the city shut down a famed Jewish neighbourhood and scrambled to protect residents and tourists from further attacks.
By Friday afternoon, explosions and gunshots rang out and white smoke rose outside a printing plant in Dammartin-en-Goele, north east of Paris, where brothers Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, had holed up with a hostage.
Security forces had surrounded the building for most of the day. After the explosions, police Swat forces could be seen on the roof of the building and one police helicopter landed near it.
Audrey Taupenas, spokeswoman for the town near the Charles de Gaulle airport, said the brothers had died in the clash.
Minutes before the storming, a gunman in a Paris kosher grocery store had threatened to kill his five hostages if French authorities launched an assault on the two brothers, a police official said. The two sets of hostage-takers know each other, said the official.
Trying to fend off further attacks, the Paris mayor's office shut down all shops along Rosiers Street in the city's famed Marais neighbourhood in the heart of the tourist district. Hours before the Jewish Sabbath, the street is usually crowded with shoppers - French Jews and tourists alike. The street is also only a kilometre (half a mile) away from Charlie Hebdo's offices.
At the kosher grocery near the Porte de Vincennes neighbourhood in Paris, the gunman burst in shooting just a few hours before the Jewish Sabbath began, declaring: "You know who I am," the official recounted. The attack came before sundown when the store would have been crowded with shoppers.
The official said the gunman is also believed responsible for the roadside killing of a Paris policewoman yesterday.
Paris police released a photo of the gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, and a second suspect, a woman named Hayet Boumddiene, who the official said was his accomplice.
Several people wounded when the gunman opened fire in the kosher grocery were able to flee and get medical care, the official said.
Police said 100 students were under lockdown in schools nearby and the highway ringing Paris was closed.
Hours before and 40 kilometres (25 miles) away , a convoy of police trucks, helicopters and ambulances streamed towards Dammartin-en-Goele, a small industrial town near Charles de Gaulle airport, to seize the Charlie Hebdo suspects, who had hijacked a car in a nearby town after more than two days on the run.
"They said they want to die as martyrs," Yves Albarello, a local politician inside the command post, told French television station i-Tele.
Cherif Kouachi, 32, was convicted of terrorism charges in 2008 for ties to a network sending jihadis to fight US forces in Iraq.
A Yemeni security official said his 34-year-old brother, Said Kouachi, is suspected of having fought for al Qaida in Yemen. Another senior security official said Said was in Yemen until 2012.
Both brothers were also on the US no-fly list, a senior US counterterrorism official said.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he is relieved that the French terrorists have been killed and urged all people around the world "to enhance the level of tolerance and respect for the belief and religions and tradition of others".
The UN chief said all differences of views on religion and other issues can be resolved through dialogue.
But he said the tragedy in Paris was not about religion.
"This is a purely unacceptable terrorist attack, criminality," Mr Ban said. "This kind of criminality must be brought to justice in the name of humanity."
The secretary-general spoke after signing a condolence book at France's UN Mission.
"I am confident that even in these dark times France will continue to show the way of liberty and tolerance," he wrote in French.
An Israeli government official said 15 hostages were rescued from the kosher grocery.
The official, recounting a conversation between prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the French president, said four hostages were killed and 15 freed.
French president Francois Hollande, speaking shortly afterwards in a national address, confirmed the four deaths.

Posted 30 May 2013 | By Louise Zornoza,
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has opened a consultation on implementing a 'rolling adoption' of new good manufacturing practice (GMP) versions of the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention/Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-Operation Scheme (PIC/S), two international instruments designed to improve co-operation between regulatory authorities and the pharmaceutical industry.
The proposal would automatically adopt the new PIC/S changes during a transition period of six months from the date of publication, in combination with an improved industry consultation process on future PIC/S revisions.
PIC/S has indicated that following the introduction of the 'rolling' adoption' proposal, it would be willing to amend its revision process to allow full consideration of the outcomes of TGA's industry consultations before the PIC/S revision is finally adopted. Comments on the proposal are due by 10 July 2013.
Adoption of harmonized standards is crucial to maintaining the mutual equivalence of Australia with its Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) partners (the EU, Switzerland, Canada, Singapore) and partners with which a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is effective, such as the USA. In addition to Australia, the PIC/S GMP standard is used by the European Union and New Zealand, whereas others (Canada, USA, Singapore) have their own national GMPs that are substantially aligned with the PIC/S.

Why YOU Should Be Stoked For Summer Camp 2017!
So Summer Camp released its initial round of artists for 2017, and it is quite the doozy. One of the main draws of the festival is that there's always something for everyone, whether you're into intense, sprawling psychedelic jams, blisteringly fast bluegrass, cutting edge hip hop, laid-back folk, acid jazz, roots reggae, or futuristic electronic brain-benders. The lineup is always hotly anticipated as soon as the previous year's fest has ended, and once again we find ourselves staring slack-jawed at what promises to be an unbelievable Memorial Day in 2017.
The annual three days of moe. and Umphrey's McGee will be accompanied by a slew of legendary musicians next year; for those looking for the jammier side of things, both Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon of Phish will be there with their respective solo groups full of excellent musucians. Les Claypool will have his hands full as both his main band Primus and the Claypool Lennon Delirium will be filling Three Sisters with that trademark wonky bass and bizarre, improv-laden carnival funk-metal.
If your thing is more electronic or hip hop based, have no fear! Destructo, EOTO, and Run the Jewels are just some of the bass-heavy/lyrical stew coming at you this year. Summer Camp's Vibe Tent is famous for being one of the primary late night party spots at the festival, and as this is only the first round of artists, there are sure to be many more high-quality electronic and rap groups added as the weeks go by.
As far as returning faces, the Summer Camp veterans run the gamut from the Wood Brothers and Keller Williams and the Kwahtro to TAUK, Twiddle, and the Werks. One newcomer is the fantastic neopsychedelic quartet White Denim, who I saw for the first time earlier this year at LOCKN'. Those guys blew me away, and they will be an excellent addition to what is shaping up to be another phenomenal year in Chillicothe. The Marcus King Band, Spafford, and Organ Freeman are some other newer artists I'm looking forward to checking out as well.
I could just go on and on, but some other highlights include the Eric Krasno Band, the Infamous Stringdusters, the New Orleans Suspects, the Floozies, Manic Focus, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Sun Stereo, and Aqueous. As always, Summer Camp does not disappoint, and it's hard to believe this is only the initial lineup. Every year the festival further cements itself into the upper pantheon of top-notch summer music events, and it's not hard to see why with such a broad range of artists (not to mention the food, beer, crafts, and workshops).
So once again, we find ourselves on the brink of a new year, and with it all the new anticipation and planning that goes into the summer music season. It's only December, but you better start planning now, because this is only the beginning of the hype. Hopefully I'll see you out on the road, starting in Three Sisters Park for Summer Camp 2017!

According to studies, people fear public speaking more than death. It is not uncommon to go totally blank when you get onto podium and yet we routinely see people who becomes more alive on stage. Somehow, the podium brings out their best thoughts, emotions and antics. Neil is one such speaker. He can make a very dull and mundane topic very interesting. I remember his talk about making breakfast for a large group of people. He spoke so I well that I could visualize his every move. He is also a record holder for finishing the competent communicator series in our speaking club.
Neil convinces his audience not only through his words, but through his emotions and with very apparent conviction behind his words. I always looked forward to his speeches. They were light and entertaining but always with a clear message. I wish him all the best for his future endeavors.

GC Capital Ideas Top Stories: November, 2017
1. Just Say "Know" to Insurtech; Insurtech's impact on the insurance industry is surging, reminding us of the influence that technological change and growth bring to the modern consumer and business landscapes and individual industries - the development of fintech within financial services being an example.
2. Guy Carpenter Reports US Insurance Market at a Crossroads but Opportunity Exists; Guy Carpenter today released a study outlining a dynamic insurance industry facing a changing economy and pressure in once-stable lines, but with opportunity for those with management skill and understanding of risk.
3. From Risk to Resilience: Marsh & McLennan Companies Cyber Handbook 2018: Perspectives on the Next Wave of Cyber; Cyber risk continues to grow as technology innovation increases and societal dependence on information technology expands. A new and important turning point has been reached in the struggle to manage this complex risk. In the war between cyber attackers and cyber defenders, we have reached what Winston Churchill might call "the end of the beginning."
4. Understanding Systemic Cyber Risk; Insights Through Pandemic Behavior; Today, through air travel, a carrier of MERS or Ebola can cross the ocean in less than a day, board a crowded subway train and potentially infect hundreds of people. Containment of a pandemic outbreak begins upon discovery, similar to the way in which forensics and network restoration efforts can begin once a cyber breach is identified. According to Platt, the longer the lag until discovery, the more difficult containment and treatment will be, whether it is a biological or cyber event.
5. Asia Pacific Catastrophe Report 2017: Executive Summary: Losses; Insured losses in Australia and New Zealand were the largest events. The region was also impacted by floods in China, India and Thailand and an earthquake in China. Once again, flood was a major contributor to economic losses in the region, but often in areas where insurance penetration was limited. Flood is difficult for (re)insurers to model, but Guy Carpenter has made significant steps to help clients deal with the problems.
6. Insurers Challenged by Forces of Technology Disruption; Here we review recent GC Capital Ideas posts on the need for the insurance industry to come to terms with the forces of technological disruption challenging their business models.

For MPL, Market Softening Continues in 2016-Signs of Pressure Emerge; Since 2010, the medical professional liability (MPL) industry has been navigating a soft market, with declining profitability, diminished investment gains and rising accident year operating ratios. Yet, reserve redundancies have kept calendar year combined ratios below 100 percent, allowing carriers to pay dividends to policyholders while maintaining favorable returns on equity.

Rethinking Robin Hood
The most famous outlaw-hero in Anglo-American history, subject of countless movies (none as good as the 1938 Errol Flynn classic) is often portrayed as someone who 'robbed the rich and gave to the poor,' and thus is held to be a hero of wealth redistribution and other causes dear to those on what's generally considered to be the left side of the political spectrum. [The 'left-right' political model, itself an artifact of seating arrangements in revolutionary France, is outmoded and inaccurate; I use it here because it is a common short-hand terminology that is still much in use.]
Is the portrait of Loxley of Sherwood and his Merry Men an accurate one? Did he support the '99%' by robbing from the equivalent of the '1%' of his time? Ayn Rand thought so, claiming that Robin Hood legend represented an archetype of the 'looter' mentality that she despised. The reality, however, is different: Robin Hood took from an alien invading class of Norman overlords who had looted his fellow Saxons and returned the ill-gotten gain to them. (As a landowner himself, Robin could hardly be expected to be an enemy of private property, per se.) As Norman methods of expropriation didn't have the consent of those they governed by force, this was really a case of 'taxation without representation.' That representation was soon forthcoming, when Prince John 'Lackland' succeeded his brother Richard I Lionheart as King of England. His usurpations and abuses of power so tried the patience of all of his subjects, Normal and Saxon alike, that he bonded them into a nation, as Lord Macaulay retells the story in his 'History of England.' The end result was a system of representative government, codified in Magna Carta. (The 'Charter of the Forest,' signed two years later by Henry III, is less well-remembered, but it was also a significant document, as it addressed the rights of the forest-dwellers. After all, Robin Hood's first 'crime' was to kill the King's deer.)
Thus, we may conclude that Robin Hood was not really a redistributor of wealth so much as he was a tax protestor; there was less of Jesse James and more Sam Adams (of Boston Tea Party fame) in him. As such, he belongs to a long line of Anglo-American political activists who opposed unjust taxation, abuse of governmental power, and encroachments upon the rights traditionally held by the people. This also how Robin Hood has been portrayed in literature, such as Sir Walter Scott's 'Ivanhoe,' as there has never been a canonical legend centering around a storyline that would conclusively support the simple 'rob the rich' storyline. Armed resistance has generally given way to protest and litigation in our time, but the animating principles of Robin's actions still find ready adherents in our own time

The brightness slider has been upgraded so that the brightness level goes beyond the normal maximum one. It lights up everything. from caves to mobs, entities, etc. There are now fully lit caves and crystal underwater. The best part of the Gammabright Mod is the fact that the light doesn't come from the sky itself, instead, it comes from the world's objects. And it is really interesting to see the world this way.
This mod is really helpful since it allows players to keep on their long mining as well as looting trips in the middle of the night when there is no torch. It does a really good job in making the world around you brighten up. Still, it doesn't affect the way the game works. Besides, this mod is also a great tool for videomakers. In short, the Gammabright Mod is a useful mod for those who want to discover pitch-black places or perform various tasks in the dark.

Crude oil prices may hit three-digit mark: ONGC3 min read . Updated: 21 Nov 2008, 09:37 PM IST
Crude oil prices may hit three-digit mark: ONGC
Crude oil prices may hit three-digit mark: ONGC
New Delhi: Even as oil prices continue to fall to three-year lows, Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd(ONGC) said oil will rebound to $100 a barrel, twice the current level, justifying a proposed £1.4 billion (Rs10,416 crore) bid for UK's Imperial Energy Corp. Plc.by India's biggest energy explorer.
"I hold the very strong view that crude prices will be at the three-digit level, two digits will be history," ONGC chairman R.S. Sharmasaid. "We have to take a long-term view, not a short-term view."
Crude oil fell below $50 a barrel on Thursday in New York for the first time in almost two years as a recession in the US, Europe and Japan cuts global demand growth to its weakest level in 23 years.
Crude oil for January delivery rose as much as $1.23, or 2.5% on Friday to $50.65 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Imperial Energy shares have fallen 16% below ONGC's offer price on investor concern that the bid may fail or be lowered.
"It's possible they may adjust their bid," said Victor Shum, a Singapore-based senior principal at energy consultant Purvin and Gertz Inc. "This downward spiral in oil pricing will make many companies relook their investments, existing contracts to do projects and deals."
ONGC needs to make its formal bid by 9 December or walk away from its biggest overseas purchase ever. Sharma, 57, said the bid "is in process," declining to comment any further on the purchase plan.
Imperial Energy fell 1.4% to 1,055 pence in London trading on Thursday. ONGC's offer price is 1,250 pence a share.
"If they are counting on $100 oil, he's not going to get a lot of support to buy at that level," Shum of Purvin and Gertz said. He was referring to Sharma's oil forecast and ONGC's bid for Imperial Energy.
ONGC had cash reserves of Rs23,000 crore as of 30 September, according to finance director D.K. Sarraf.
That can be used to pursue India's quest for energy security, said Mahesh Patil, who helps manage the equivalent of about $10 billion at Birla Sunlife Asset Management in Mumbai.
"We agree with the view that in the medium to longer term, oil prices will move up again," Patil said over the phone. "Also, they are sitting on cash which can help them in growing overseas which they seem to need, considering ONGC hasn't been able to grow its domestic reserves."
Sharma said any decision the state-owned company took would have to stand up to scrutiny.
"We are not taking a pessimistic view," Sharma said. "In India, accountability is huge, so we don't compromise on commercial viability."
The explorer, which produces almost 25% of the crude oil used by Asia's third largest energy consumer, is trying to secure energy assets overseas as production from aging fields at home declines.
The ONGC board is scheduled to meet on 1 December to consider investment plans of as much as $10 billion on drilling for oil and gas and on building chemical plants, Sharma said.
ONGC created a joint venture with Venezuela's state oil company in April to produce oil in the San Cristobal field. The venture will pump at least 232 million barrels of crude in Venezuela over 25 years.
Imperial Energy explores in Siberia and had the equivalent of 920 million barrels of proven and probable oil reserves as of December 2007, according to an audit by DeGolyer and MacNaughton cited on the UK company's website. The company has registered 526 million barrels of oil equivalent with Russian authorities and will continue to add to that number, according to a July company statement.
ONGC Videsh Ltd, the unit of ONGC that is bidding for Imperial Energy, received approvals from the Russian government to go ahead with the acquisition this month. Shareholders of Imperial Energy will have 60 days to respond to the offer.
The agreement to buy Imperial Energy is the first to get approval from the Federal Anti-monopoly Service, or FAS, since Russia passed laws this year potentially limiting foreign access to its natural resources.
The Indian explorer paid $1.7 billion to buy a stake in Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Sakhalin-I field in Russia and $785 million for a stake in the Greater Nile project in Sudan. ONGC owns 20% of Sakhalin-I, which began pumping oil in 2005 and produced 250,000 barrels a day in February 2007.

Rabies is a form of the viral infection that is caused in human beings due to the introduction of the virus from Rhabdoviridae family. This is a common kind of disease in the children and is generally caused by the biting of some of the stray animals like dogs, cats, etc. This can be also caused by the biting of bats, foxes, skunks, etc. It first attacks the central nervous system and then gets distributed all over the body of the children. If diagnosed and treated in the preliminary stage then only it can be cured easily. Otherwise it gets difficult to get rid of the disease causing an eventual death.
Some of the symptoms of the primary and secondary stages of rabies are:
1) Initially your child can be suffering from fever, malaise, headache, excessive vomiting, and reduction in the appetite.
2) The portion of the body of your child where he has got bitten by any of the above prescribed animals will go numb. Otherwise the portion will have a continuous itching sensation.
3) In the later stages the child feels it difficult to swallow anything like water even his own saliva.
4) At the adverse stages your child can be paralyzed or he can go into a coma and at the end he will die eventually.
Thus, if you see any of the above prescribed symptoms in your child then immediately go and consult a doctor. Vaccines like PCEC, HDCV, etc are given immediately to the child to prevent it from rabies after he has been injured.

Dove hunting put Argentina on the map for serious traveling sportsmen seeking the best in volume shooting. The prevailing native bird species in Argentina is the "Eared dove" which is similar in size to its North America counterpart, the "Mourning dove". One notable difference lies in the fact that the Eared dove has a squared tail whereas the Morning dove has a pointed tail. All of our dove hunting takes place in the province of Entre Rios either in conjunction with mixed bag hunts between May and August or as independent high-volume hunts between September and April. High-volume hunting may also be combined with fishing in warmer months for unforgettable 'cast & blast' packages.
The principle ingredients required for abundant doves are food, water and a safe roosting area. Entre Rios is the most water-saturated area in Argentina due to year-round rainfall as well as the vast system of rivers and marshes which saturate the terrain. Additionally, this region is one of the most active areas of commercial agriculture in the country with crops principally consisting of soy, corn, sorghum, wheat and alfalfa. Due to the prevalence of water and food combined with ideal weather, doves in Entre Rios hatch two eggs, five to seven times annually resulting in their status as an agricultural plague.
All dove hunting is no-limit pass shooting at tree lines with actual fields varying week to week depending on harvest patterns and weather. We own the land used for all hunting and have a feedlot on our property. Additionally, we are the only hunting operation in Entre Rios with a dove roost on our land. This results in very short drive times, typically between five and ten minutes from the lodge. Guests at Los Laureles may even walk to dove blinds from the lodge and enjoy an intermediary hunt before lunch in our mixed bag package. The logistical convenience afforded to our guests is a direct result of owning our land and being the only hunting operation using it. In turn, our guests enjoy the best of what would be expected in high-volume dove shooting coupled with drive times second to none among Argentine outfitters.
Our dove hunting properties include Los Laureles and Santo Domingo. Doves and Pigeons are the only two bird species which can be incorporated into any hunt in the Entre Rios province, any time of year. Additionally, dove hunts may be enjoyed as a 'stand alone' activity at Los Laureles.
Argentine seasons are opposite from the northern hemisphere. Pack accordingly for either hot summers or the relatively mild winters. Dove season is year around.

By 1960, African Americans comprised two-fifths of the population of Prince Edward County, yet the county had no black elected representatives. Blacks earned less than half as much as whites, and many lived in poverty. Professional employment was virtually closed to black workers. Law and tradition barred blacks from movie theaters, country clubs, and lunch counters; dictated racially segregated entrances and waiting areas in public accommodations; and proscribed social interactions to reinforce racial hierarchy.
The school closings had not elicited an organized direct-action campaign earlier because the black community had conformed to the NAACP's strategy of fighting inequality through litigation. By the spring of 1963, however, that approach appeared antiquated. Direct-action campaigns, like those in Birmingham and Danville, had changed the landscape of the civil rights movement: the protests, and the police brutality that accompanied them, had stirred the conscience of the black community. The Reverend L. Francis Griffin, pastor of First Baptist Church in Farmville and president of the Virginia State Conference of the NAACP, sought to capitalize on the "Negro revolution" to effect racial progress. Late in June, Griffin convened a special meeting of the leaders of the Virginia State Conference in which they adopted a new approach.
Demonstrations Begin
The campaign initially targeted Farmville's business district, the principal shopping center for Prince Edward and five surrounding counties. On Thursday, July 25, 1963, a group of seventy picketers, carrying homemade signs protesting segregation and the school closings, marched in front of downtown businesses, the county courthouse, and the nearby shopping center. The police were ordered not to interfere unless violence erupted. A contingent of white teenagers heckled the picketers, but there were no incidents and no arrests.
On July 27—a Saturday, which was the main shopping day in Farmville—the town's mayor, Billy Watkins, denied Griffin's application for a parade permit. Nevertheless, more than 100 people marched up and down Main Street and sang freedom songs. Ten demonstrators attempted a sit-in at the College Shoppe luncheonette, but were barred from entering. The group stood silently along the storefront and was soon arrested for loitering. (The five juveniles were released, as were three women who posted bond. Two men, the Reverend Richard Hale and Melvin Moore, refused bond and were jailed.) Afterward, Mayor Watkins informed Griffin that all future demonstrations would require a parade permit and that no permits would be issued on the weekends.
The weekend arrests forced a change in strategy. Thereafter, Griffin reduced the threat of arrests by applying for and obtaining parade permits and observing local ordinances. His teenage volunteers still protested with try-ins and sit-ins, but left businesses when asked. Although these actions appeared conservative by the weekend's standard, a new phase of the campaign had begun. Griffin was now focusing on exerting economic pressure on the business community. While demonstrators continued to picket downtown to discourage patrons from coming to Farmville, others initiated a boycott of businesses that practiced discrimination.
Demonstrations Decline
Since May 1963, the Kennedy administration had been quietly negotiating an agreement to restore universal education to the county. The administration had won the support of Governor Albertis S. Harrison, and the county's attorney agreed to use his influence to obtain approval for the lease of the public school buildings, which would allow the administration to establish a private, unsegregated school system with financial support from philanthropic foundations and private donations. On August 14, 1963, Governor Harrison announced the organization of the Prince Edward Free School Association, a nonprofit organization that would establish and maintain a system of integrated schools in Prince Edward County.
The Farmville campaign yielded mixed results. The campaign's primary goal was reopening the public schools on a nondiscriminatory basis. That was not immediately accomplished, but the Free Schools temporarily filled the void and Griffin had obtained the Kennedy administration's assurance of continued legal support. In May 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Griffin v. County Board of Prince Edward County that the school closings were unconstitutional. In September 1964, public education resumed in Prince Edward County.
Despite these achievements, progress toward equal rights for whites and blacks was slow in Prince Edward County. Public education was restored in 1964, but with inadequate funding and a nominal white enrollment. Voluntary concessions and force of federal law opened opportunities for African Americans in public accommodations, but poverty prevented many blacks from enjoying the fruits of the summer of protest. Although federal law barred hiring discrimination, African Americans were employed for professional positions at a slow rate. Still, the Farmville campaign demonstrated that the black community would no longer accept living in a Jim Crow society.

When I posted about the latest results for BT 'BT Intranet 2010 benchmark results' I promised to give examples the Intranet Benchmarking Forum highlighted as global best practice. The first three examples are:
- About our content: IBF said all pages across BT's intranet contain author and date information
- How involving everyone can make your intranet more valuable to your organisation: IBF said BT's intranet supports our values to be open and straightforward in dealings with colleagues
- How you integrate your intranet to be the preferred way of working for everyone in your organisation: IBF said BT's intranet has a wide range of activities, heavily used and with high satisfaction levels.
The latest example covers how BT's intranet improves efficiency saving wasted time searching for the wrong stuff or sites not being well organised enough. IBF said the BT Homepage was excellent at directing people to tasks tasks that were completed successfully.
BT Homepage groups services and content functionally under the title 'Essentials' so people have everything easily to link to when completing an activity. Here are some slides showing examples of what is grouped under each heading on the BT Homepage. Users liked the changes when we asked for their feedback.
Research with users shows high satisfaction with the BT Homepage and 91% were satisfied with Essentials which was great news.
People also rely on the BT A-Z. This is an index of all sites that have a BT-wide purpose and are cross-indexed if need be under more than one letter e.g. Group Finance is under G and F.
I'll cover our A-Z in a future post.

But what I find in some ways even more depressing is the fact even some environmental groups have chosen to abandon science and campaign against clean energy and climate policies.
The scientific community has a very solid understanding of what is causing global warming: it is overwhelmingly because of the combustion of fossil fuels. Thus, the primary solution to the problem is as simple as it is daunting: The elimination of fossil fuel use in our economies.
Few people outside the scientific and engineering community have yet come to terms with the immensity of that task. In my home province of British Columbia, for example, we frequently hear about how "green" our energy system is the rationale being that hydro dams make up the vast majority of electricity generation.
Very rarely does anyone point out that electricity is a small part of our overall energy consumption which, even with the blessings of hydro, is more than two-thirds fossil fuel.
So, even in a province fortunate to have lots of hydro, we still need a massive transformation in energy. All those fossil fuel emissions need to be eliminated. And we must do so quickly if we are to have any chance of stabilizing the climate and maintaining human civilization as we know it.
We need staggering amounts of energy conservation, emissions cuts and renewable energy. And all need to be deployed at an unprecedented rate.
Switching from fossil fuels to emissions-free energy sources is not going to happen without resistance. Each new hydro and wind project is being opposed by well-meaning citizens and environmental groups not familiar with the science. Each energy conservation policy is fought bitterly by "public interest groups" demagoguing to keep energy subsidized. Each attempt to tax carbon and each law to reduce emissions draws the fossil fuel lobby into action alongside these "public interest" groups.
The public debate has become a caricature. People complain about windmills blocking their view. Kayakers complain about seeing a transmission line on their weekend excursions. The public dialogue is riddled with outlandish and demonstrably false assertions such as windmills will devastate local bird populations or a hydro project will create more greenhouse emissions than it will displace by eliminating a coal-burning power plant. Some of the most insidious arguments attempt to slow things down: That we should do more planning, that we should do energy conservation first and build renewable energy later, that we shouldn't do anything until China does.
These arguments are fundamentally not serious. They come from groups and spokespeople that have simply not grappled with the math with the scale and speed at which we must eliminate fossil fuel emissions.
The policies and actions needed are very well understood. When my colleagues and I at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the Nobel Prize, it was awarded for "efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change." We have been as clear as we know how about the science and the measures needed.
We need a global agreement and action. This means rich countries like Canada must take decisive action and demonstrate that we are willing to shoulder the responsibility for what our emissions have done to the rest of the world. To that end:
We need to build and transition to entirely emissions-free energy.
We need to tax carbon emissions and legislate their elimination.
We need aggressive efficiency policies.
These measures must happen extremely quickly and on an unprecedented scale. We desperately need all civil society organizations advocating as hard as possible for this effort and we cannot afford to have so-called environmentalists opposing what science shows to be necessary.
Environmental organizations and citizen groups will have to work constructively to support emissions-free energy options. Modern society has no choice but to move toward carbon neutrality if we hope to preserve our well-being. Emissions-free energy production is the only means of getting there.

Recyclable ProTex™ Tissue provides more widths and diameters, in stock, with over a million pounds in the supply pipeline!
With standard widths from 36 cm to 3.3 m, high density, highly formed natural eucalyptus fiber sheet provides the highest yield and strongest barrier properties.
Reduced mass cuts purchases, reduces storage and disposal costs, while formaldehyde-free formulation prevents yellowing of white sythetic fabrics.
ProTex™ extends the life of the calender belt, and heat resistant ProTex™ prevents web tear outs. Longer roll length reduces time with roll changes.
ProTex™ transfer-tissue is provided in popular 19 gsm basis-weight for all widths. 25 gsm ProTex is offered specially for Grand-Format rotary heat calenders at 126" (3.2 m) and 130" (3.3 m) widths.
*The Nomex belt is the single highest value replacement part of a transfer printing calender. Replacing the belt, by hired engineer, costs up to 10% of the machine value (belt + labor + expenses). In addition to cost, the machine will be offline for two days while changing the belt and properly conditioning a new one. Without proper protection of the belt, the usable service life can be reduced by years, as its porosity is ultimately compromised by pollutants and impurities in the textile/inks. Proper protection of the belt is necessary to maintain the highest transfer quality and least amount of waste over the expected life of the belt.

Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and former minister Chhagan Bhujbal`s judicial custody on Thursday has been extended till April 13.
Bhujbal, who is already in custody over his alleged involvement in the Maharashtra sadan scam, was on March 17 sent to judicial custody till March 31 by the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court.
The former Maharashtra deputy chief minister was arrested on March 14 in connection with the Maharashtra Sadan scam.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had on February 1 arrested former lawmaker Sameer Bhujbal, nephew of Chhagan Bhujbal, in a money laundering case in Mumbai after the agency conducted multiple searches in connection with the probe against Bhujbals and others.
The Maharashtra ACB had earlier filed two FIRs against the Bhujbals and others under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to probe the Delhi-based Maharashtra Sadan scam and the Kalina land grabbing case.
