September 27, 2017
Partner Diane Sullivan has been selected by The National Law Journal as a "2017 Winning Litigator," an honor extended to 22 litigators nationwide.
The National Law Journal recognized Ms. Sullivan among the elite attorneys who "scored big victories for their clients in high-stakes cases," highlighting the unanimous defense verdict she secured for Philip Morris USA in a pivotal medical monitoring class action suit. Following a three-week jury trial in Massachusetts, the verdict and subsequent dismissal avoided more than $600 million in potential damages and concluded a ten-year legal battle.
The profile published in a special report also notes Ms. Sullivan's prowess at cross-examination as well as her ability to distill and simplify complex issues in a compelling way that connects with jurors. Ms. Sullivan was previously named as "Litigator of the Week" by The AmLaw Litigation Daily for her performance at the trial.

Garbage in, garbage out is a very popular term in this modern world. As you know, the time where we are living right now is called information age. Internet, TV, newspapers, magazines are some of the resources available today where we can spend most of the time and find anything which we want to watch or read.
But the problem arises, when you do not use these resources properly. And waste most of your time in the stuff which is not productive for you like watching TV serials, movies, news and reading social media status all the time. This all is called Garbage In, because such kind of stuff is not helpful in achieving success. If you continue to waste your time on these things, then you continue to get what you are getting till now. All these are not making you a valuable person but spreading the negativity in your brain. Simply, if you put garbage into your body your gonna get garbage result out. So what you are feeding your brain is the real challenge.
People in today's world are so used to of TV serials, news and social media that they are wasting most of their free time, and think that it is a good way to relax them. Some people are watching the news in most of the news channels daily. And thought that it is good for them to know everything that is happening around them. But seriously, I am telling you that this kind of information is not good for your brain to produce extraordinary results. You have no control over these news and TV serials and are totally wasting your valuable time. For example, if you hear about some accident, murder, robbery, terrorist attack, scams etc on news channels can you control or stop them. No, nobody can do that because these things are not in your control and only spreading negativity about the world in your head.
So you need to consume good quality content into your brain. If you do not watch out your information then your mind will produce ideas according to information it has. What your mind do? It will simply consume and store the data that you are providing and playing with it all the time. And if you are providing bad data to your mind then it becomes very difficult for your brain to produce good results.
Extraordinary results are produced by the mind that has a good knowledge of a particular topic and feeds up with rich information about that topic. So focus on your information intake that is helpful for you and stops worrying about the crisis that is happening around the world. If you are not feeding your brain with rich and valuable information then you need to take actions to replace your resources of information with more valuable resources.
Stuff like reading books, blogs, spending time in studying, talking to people who have good knowledge, meditations etc. are good and rich resources for your mind. And if you are watching stuff then watch stuff that really is educational. Like personal development programs, documentaries, talk shows, motivational YouTube channel etc. These are some good resources to provide valuable information to your brain. So that it can produce extraordinary results that you want.
So if you want a successful life then start consuming valuable information which helps your brain to think and produces valuable ideas for yourself.

Cavendish winning streak continues, no change in overall

Stage 13: Narbonne - Nîmes
Evans retains yellow after another bunch sprint
Galloping head down with his trademark aerodynamic style, Mark Cavendish continued his domination of the Tour de France sprints when he thundered to his fourth stage win of this year's race. The Columbia rider was momentarily blocked inside the final 700 metres of the stage but then got a clear run to the line in Nîmes, beating Robbie McEwen (Silence Lotto), Romain Feillu (Agritubel), Heinrich Haussler (Gerolsteiner) and Oscar Freire (Rabobank) in the mass bunch gallop.
It is the second successive stage win for the Isle of Man competitor, and doubles the previous British record of two stage wins in a single Tour, as set by Barry Hoban in 1969 and again in 1973.
"I heard over the radio that there was a lot of wind [near the finish]," said Cavendish immediately after embracing his team-mates and then visiting the podium. "I wasn't well placed with 700 metres to go and had a hard time accelerating."
However his fourth win worked out in dominating fashion, with the victory seeing him move up to second overall in the battle for the green jersey. His velodrome experience has helped thus far, and he'll hope that strong kick will carry him to more success. "Track riding when I was younger definitely helped to develop my speed," he said. "I can hold my speed."
Asked whether he does any special training for the bunch sprints, Cavendish replied: "I just ride my bike. I enjoy it. I sometimes do a bit of sprint training. But I have a really great team that pulls very hard for me in the final kilometres."
Second-placed McEwen was not too disappointed with the outcome, having had his chance for a head-to-head sprint against Cavendish. "I went on the right and he went on the left, and he was just too strong," said McEwen. "I tried to stay on his wheel, but he was just four or five kilometres faster - it was not possible today."
Still, the Australian believes he has the legs for a stage victory at this Tour, and hopes to face Cavendish again on the Champs-Élysées in just over a week's time. "I hope that he does not go home before Paris because I want to win over him," McEwen added.
Race leader Cadel Evans benefited from good work by his Silence-Lotto squad, with team-mates keeping him near the front and out of trouble during the stage. He and all of his rivals finished in the same time as Cavendish, ensuring that the general classification remains unchanged. "It was very hot and in the end it was pretty dangerous, with all the roundabouts," he said after the stage. "The team was great again."
The Australian continues to hold a slender one-second lead over Fränk Schleck. He's a little worried about what might happen in the high mountains, given the numerical strength of his rivals. "CSC has the numbers. Schleck is very close. Sastre gets better in the third week. Tomorrow, the Alps start 'a little bit'. We will see."
Evans said before the stage that he's finding the volume of media requests to be intense, and the general demands of the maillot jaune mean that he doesn't get to communicate with his parents and family each day. "It's sometimes maybe only every other day," he said, showing how busy his life has become since he took over the race lead. "But they send SMS [messages] right after the stage, asking how I feel. There are many Australians following the Tour."
As was the case yesterday, the stage was marked by a long-distance breakaway by two riders. Niki Terpstra (Milram) and Florent Brard (Cofidis) attacked in the first kilometre and had opened up a maximum gap of 9'55 after some 21 kilometres of racing.
Brard led Terpstra over the day's first climb, Côte de la Resclauze, and did likewise over the other two, the Côte de Puechabon and the Pic Saint-Loup. Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner) accelerated out of the peloton and picked up the remaining point on the first and third ascents, while his team-mate – and closest challenger – Bernhard Kohl nabbed third on the Côte de Puechabon. The net result was that Lang added a point to his overall total, ending the day three points clear of Kohl in the King of the Mountains ranking.
Terpstra nabbed both bonus sprints near the end of the stage, attacking just before the final one and soloing ahead. Brard was joined by team-mate Stephane Auge after the prime line but the duo could not get back up to the Milram rider. The leader was himself caught just before the ten kilometre to go sign, with a short lived move by Stef Clement (Bouygues Telecom) being followed by a better effort by Sylvain Chavanel.
The Cofidis rider pulled out an advantage of several seconds, riding strongly. However he was overhauled with three clicks remaining and this paved the way for the bunch gallop and yet another decisive Cavendish victory. The Cannonball is fast becoming the Cannibal in the sprints.
How it unfolded
158 riders took the start in Narbonne on a sunny day in southern France. Some riders undoubtedly would have preferred to put in a few rest days near the Mediterranean, but the schedule dictated the riders to set off at 13:00 precisely towards Nîmes.
Niki Terpstra (Team Milram) and Florent Brard (Cofidis) couldn't wait for the action to start and took off inside the first kilometre. The bunch let the two go and after only four kilometres they were clear by a minute. The gap kept extending until km 21, when it was 9'55.
Finally, the peloton reacted and the gap started to come down, albeit gradually. After 35 kilometres the gap was 8'45.
At kilometre 62, the leaders hit the Côte de la Resclauze, a category four climb, seven minutes ahead of the bunch. Brard rolled over the top ahead of Terpstra. Lang stormed ahead in third, increasing his lead over team-mate Kohl to three points.
No worries this time in the feed zone. The peloton got better as the race went on. The gap had dropped to 6'35, though.
Over the top of the Côte de Puéchabon, Brard was gesturing for Terpstra, who had done less of the pulling, to come through. But the Dutchman wasn't used to the heat so much and was visibly suffering, 76 kilometres from the finish. So Brard passed the top ahead of Terpstra. The bunch followed four minutes later. The Gerolsteiners were ahead again. This time, Kohl was allowed to take the points, ahead of Lang, who was still wearing the polka dot jersey.
Pic-Saint-Loups was the next climb. Terpstra had a bit of trouble again holding Brard's wheel, but he managed to hang on. He got sprayed by a spectator and wasn't happy about it understandably, as being surprised by cold water on a hot day is not great.
The peloton followed two and a half minutes later. Lang and Kohl were playing around at the front and smiling. Lang got the points, which left them still close together in the overall standings.
Terpstra definitely tried hard and Brard let him take the sprints points in Saint-Bauzille-de-Montmel. In the peloton, Flecha escaped to take the third spot, 1'16 behind the leaders. Flecha's job was really to take away the points from Freire's green jersey competitors. With still more than 40 kilometres to go, Flecha sat up right after the line.
The next sprint was located at Villevieille, 26 kilometres from the finish. Just before it, Terpstra attacked, getting the six points and distancing Brard, who had worked harder in the break. From the peloton, Stéphane Augé (Cofidis) went after Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank), who was again out to spoil the sprint points for Hushovd et al. Augé then dropped Flecha before the sprint and with 25 kilometres to go caught up with his team-mate Brard.
Terpstra augmented his lead over the two chasers to 35 seconds in a couple of kilometres. The bunch was 1'24 behind.
With 20 kilometres to go Terpstra was up by one minute, with the bunch 1'42 behind. But Terpstra started to have cramps. He was caught with 10 kilometres to go.
Stef Clement (Bouygues Telecom) did the next counter, but was quickly brought back. Sven Krauss had a spectacular crash when he hit a small sign in the middle of the road that was supposed to warn car drivers about a divider. Krauss saw it too late, somersaulted through the air, damaged the sign and broke his bike in half. However, he was up fast, albeit in pain.
Sylvain Chavanel (Cofidis) countered and pedaled ahead of the bunch. With five to go he had about a dozen seconds. Milram was pulling hard to bring the Frenchman back. But Chavanel was caught with three kilometres to go.
Liquigas pitched in to the work as well. Nobody was able to attack and the bunch sprint proved once again that Mark Cavendish (Columbia) is virtually unbeatable for the moment.
Stage 14 - Saturday, July 19: Nîmes - Digne les Bains, 194.5km
Despite not being a mountainous stage and only featuring two fourth category climbs at the end of stage 14, the Tour will arrive in the Alps. Although those two climbs are the only ones to count, the altitude rises steadily from 46 metres at the start in Nîmes to 599 metres at the finish in Digne les Bains. The route crosses Provence and the Luberon wine area between Mont Ventoux and the Côte d'Azur before finishing in the spa town in the shadow of the high mountains that divide France from its neighbour Italy.
Digne les Bains is a fairly regular host to the Tour, having been a stage town eleven times before. Last time in 2005 David Moncoutié took the second of his two career stage wins after attacking the break on the road from Briançon to the north.

NFC and EMV compatible point of sale (POS) terminals used to be called future-proof. With Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and the liability shift coming later this year in the U.S., the future is now.
Handpoint, a U.K.-based company that offers its EMV (Chip & PIN) solution to merchants in Europe and South Africa, announced today it is launching its complete EMV payments solution in the U.S. and Canada.
U.S.-based POS developers can now integrate Handpoint's APIs and SDKs, offering merchants a white-label POS solution. Additionally, Handpoint will distribute its card readers that are PCI-DSS compliant and are able to handle EMV, MSR, and NFC payments, and global processing capabilities.
Handpoint HiLite EMV-capable card reader
To get started, merchants must pay a one-time setup fee for the card reader. While there's no word on how much this will cost, Handpoint charges £99 in Europe. The company does not charge a monthly fee, but merchants pay a flat rate of 2.65% per transaction on Visa and MasterCard payments.
This comes on the heels of CardFlight's announcement yesterday that it now offers an EMV-capable mPOS device.
Handpoint demonstrated its hybrid magstripe chip reader unit at FinovateFall 2012.

Loving Cup is a soda fountain for the new millennium, a bright, clean-lined Polk Gulch storefront specializing not in malted milks and hot fudge sundaes but the more healthful pleasures of smoothies, frozen yogurt and...rice pudding. Rice pudding rich in comfort but not calories. Rice pudding that's lustier and creamier than the glop of childhood memory. Rice pudding flavored with mango, peanut butter, Key limes, English toffee, Madagascar vanilla; rice pudding, in short, for every mood and inclination.
Maybe it's the economy, or the weather, or the Chronicle's new typeface, but comfort food like rice pudding is becoming more essential every day. Loving Cup rides the trend with a hip new interpretation of the old classic, mixing and matching the homey flavors of rice, milk, eggs and sugar with the likes of pumpkin pie, rum-soaked raisins, pecan pralines and chai spice. The result is delectable as well as positively salubrious (125 calories and 6 grams of fat per 6 oz. serving).
Loving Cup also serves all-natural nonfat frozen yogurt with a bit of Cold Stone Creamery élan, combining your choice of chocolate, vanilla or nondairy yogurt with something chunky from a wide selection of fruits, nuts, cookies and candies. Barefoot Organic coffee, Mighty Leaf tea, freshly squeezed juices, all-fruit smoothies and organic cupcakes (natch) are on the bill of fare as well. The wonderfully intense house lemonade is not for the faint of heart or tastebud.
Loving Cup is at 2356 Polk near Union and is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Call 440-6900 to find out about custom-crafted rice pudding flavors, party samplers and the day's specialties.

US, Israel to exit UN agency over alleged anti-Israel bias
PARIS — The United States announced Thursday it is pulling out of the U.N.'s educational, scientific and cultural agency because of what Washington sees as its anti-Israel bias and a need for "fundamental reform" in the agency.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel plans to follow suit.
Though the Trump administration had been preparing for a likely withdrawal from UNESCO for months, the timing of the State Department's statement Thursday was unexpected. The Paris-based agency is in the midst of a heated election to choose a new chief — with Qatar's Hamad bin Abdulaziz al-Kawari in the lead as the executive board vote heads into a final ballot on Friday.
The outgoing UNESCO director-general, Irina Bokova, expressed her "profound regret" at the U.S. decision and tried to defend the reputation of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, best known for its World Heritage program to protect cultural sites and traditions.
She called the U.S. departure a loss for "the United Nations family" and for multilateralism, saying the U.S. and UNESCO matter to each other more than ever now to better fight "the rise of violent extremism and terrorism."
The U.S. stopped funding UNESCO after it voted to include Palestine as a member state in 2011, but the State Department has maintained a UNESCO office and sought to weigh in on policy behind the scenes. The U.S. now owes about $550 million in back payments.
In a statement, the State Department said the decision will take effect Dec. 31, 2018, and that the U.S. will seek a "permanent observer" status instead.
Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel also plans to withdraw from the agency. saying it had become a "theater of the absurd because instead of preserving history, it distorts it."
Israel has been irked by resolutions that diminish its historical connection to the Holy Land and have instead named ancient Jewish sites as Palestinian heritage sites.

All three networks on Wednesday and Thursday ignored rapper Snoop Dogg's latest assault on Donald Trump, this time imagining the rapper standing next to the corpse of the President. In a posting to Instagram (since deleted), the musician appears in a morgue and looks at a corpse with a toe tag reading "Trump." The President is draped in an American flag next to this title: "Make America Crip Again."
Despite 90 minutes of air time for Wednesday's evening newscasts and eight hours on Thursday's morning shows, ABC, CBS and NBC skipped the offensive image. Earlier in the year, the rapper released a music video in which he shot a clown-faced Trump in the head. That resulted in a collective yawn from journalists.
FNC's Fox and Friends, however, covered the story on Thursday:
In June, the MRC's Brent Bozell and Tim Graham wrote about liberal celebrities fantasizing over murdering the President:
The very bizarre rock singer Marilyn Manson also has a music video in which a facsimile of Donald Trump is seen decapitated, blood everywhere, soon after Manson tears a Bible apart. Where was the coverage and condemnation?
Before he was canceled, Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore pledged to suffocate Trump: "I don't want to give him any more oxygen. That's not a euphemism, by the way. I mean it literally. Somebody get me the pillow they used to kill [Antonin] Scalia and I'll do it — I'll do it!" He had been honored by the White House Correspondents Association to perform a "roast" (think toast) of Obama, but where was the coverage and condemnation of this "joke"?
When it comes to Republican presidents and the left, this is not new. In 2006, a faux documentary imagined the assassination of George W. Bush. CNN promoted the film and there was a general lack of outrage.
In contrast, when a Missouri rodeo clown wore an Obama mask, the August 12, 2013 Today show fretted over "rodeo racism" and quoted one spectator as decrying the act as "an effigy at a Klan rally." The next day, news reader Natalie Morales breathlessly explained, "The rodeo clown who wore a President Obama mask during a performance at the Missouri State Fair has been banned for life."
Clearly, the action was disrespectful, but is it the same as imagining you are going to murder the president?
For that matter, what about sexually threatening the First Lady? Snoop Dogg's nephew, rapper Bow Wow, did that back in March. Again, where's the outrage?

The Wilber-force is strong in those with a passion for commercial Chancery, and who can "think outside of the box."
Wilberforce be with you
"We are a chambers that knows exactly what we are," states Jedi-master – sorry, head practice manager – Mark Rushton. "We're 71 members [at the time of research] which is fantastic – we're not the biggest and we're not the smallest. We won't grow for growth's sake; the plan is to continuously look at our specific areas of law to see where we have maybe a lack of barristers, or if we need more mass in a certain area." Wilberforce is a big name in the commercial chancery, traditional chancery, offshore and pensions fields, and also gains recognition in Chambers UK for commercial dispute resolution, civil fraud, professional negligence, real estate litigation, private client tax and restructuring/insolvency, among other areas. Pupils found they were "drawn to more academically challenging areas of law, and this set was perfect for that." The set has a high number of silks, meaning "there would be lots of interesting big cases you could potentially be a junior on."
And sources weren't wrong: in these areas, Wilberforce barristers have been instructed on several high-profile and high-value matters to date. Barristers are amid a novel Supreme Court appeal (for the appellant) concerning vicarious liability in the context of fraudulent conduct. The clients invested in a failed property venture with a loan against their homes, but the mortgage broker had submitted a fraudulent application. The issue is whether the defendant is liable for his actions when he was their agent, not employee. Elsewhere, members are dealing with a "property Brexit" case, where the European Medicines Agency is claiming its 25-year lease of office space in Canary Wharf will be 'frustrated' when the UK leaves the EU. The case deals with whether EMA can walk away from its lease due to Brexit, which means other tenants may also be able to do so. On the pensions front, members acted for ITV in a trial resisting an attempt by the Pensions Regulator to make ITV liable for a deficit in the pensions scheme of a former subsidiary.
Going forward, Rushton emphasises that "we're looking at how we can make chambers even more cohesive than it already is." Many were drawn to the set after having done a mini pupillage and finding they were "impressed with how well organised it was" and felt members "were interested in seeing you at your best rather than putting you under artificial pressure." One junior tenant appreciated that "no one put on airs or tried to be intimidating – they had no desire to make the process more stressful than it already is."
"Each supervisor would tend to involve me in the work they were doing."
Revenge of the six
Wilberforce pupils "get through quite a few supervisors" during their pupillage. The average is about five or six supervisors, spending around two months with each. This ensures pupils see "a wide spectrum of the set's work," as each supervisor will usually have a slightly different speciality. For instance, a junior tenant recalled: "My first seat was with someone who did a lot of insolvency, my second saw a lot of property, wills and probate, my third was pensions and offshore trusts and my fourth was purely property."
The majority of pupils' work is on live matters: "Every supervisor would tend to involve me in the work they were doing – I'd get to do the first draft of, say, a pleading they were asked to do." Other common tasks included first drafts of advices, research notes and opinions, preparing cross-examination notes and doing skeleton arguments for hearings. "It's exciting – sometimes you see something going out with your imprint on it, if an idea you had gets deployed in court," one pupil reflected. Sometimes supervisors will set their pupil dead papers which are "to see whether you can do junior tenant work – it might be a piece of work that came through to them when they were a junior, or they might ask another member if they have a set of papers suitable for someone in their first year of tenancy." The purpose of these tasks is "for gaining experience and feedback."
Wilberforce doesn't have a standing second six – the work doesn't differ greatly between sixes. Junior tenants recalled getting on their feet in the couple of months after the tenancy decision had been made (which is usually between June and July), but it "wasn't common." When the chance did arise, sources had done "simple possession hearings that were unopposed" or "very, very small claims trials."
"You should be showing a trajectory of improvement."
The tenancy decision itself is based on a list of nine criteria the set views as important that its pupils meet. These include factors such as intellectual ability, interpersonal skills, interest in the work, quality of written work and quality of advocacy. Each of the supervisors will "give rolling feedback to pupils on each piece of work," which forms the basis of pupils' assessment – supervisors will compile reports which are fed to the head of pupillage. Pupils also see these two 'half term' reports to target areas for development. "They want to see if you grow from your mistakes," sources highlighted. In addition, there are formal advocacy exercises – usually two before the decision and one after. The first one isn't usually taken into account for the decision, but rather serves as "an opportunity to try making a submission and learning from it." The second one is assessed, though head of pupillage Martin Hutchings QC notes: "The assessed exercises play some part in the decision, but a lesser part." The main thing everyone we spoke to emphasised was that "you should be showing a trajectory of improvement." The pupillage committee will then make a recommendation on each of the pupils, and then chambers as a whole has the chance to vote on it. In 2019, two of three pupils gained tenancy.
A new hope
From this year, Wilberforce hopefuls can find the set on the Pupillage Gateway. The reasoning for this, Martin Hutchings QC explains, was "because we think it's fairer for students." Other than that, the rest of the process hasn't changed: after the initial paper sift, the set invites around 30 to 35 candidates for a first-round interview. "The first interview is a more general one, exploring the candidate's motivation for Chancery work and why they've chosen us as a set," Hutchings explains. "But there is some emphasis on on legal reasoning and problem solving." It's usually with two interviewers, and there's a legal problem to tackle. However, pupils added "the problems weren't tests of legal knowledge – it was more about your ability to reason, your interpretation of language and your different ways of thinking practically around the problem."
Around 15 candidates are invited back for the second-round interview with a panel of four interviewers. Pupils found the questions "much deeper" at this stage: "A lot of time was devoted to the legal questions and thinking on your feet." Hutchings explains "it's about being able to think about legally related problems, argue convincingly for both sides of the argument, and give coherent responses to questions." He notes that "it's very non-confrontational; we're not trying to test whether people can stand up to difficult judges or show they don't cry when shouted at. We think those are skills they will pick up through pupillage and court experience. We are testing whether they are intellectually up to it, whether they can hold their line when they argue or concede when they realise a point we're making is pretty unanswerable. It's about having that judgement and commercial nous." Hutchings emphasises that "it's really about intellectual ability in all its forms – that is really what we're testing. The other skills, we can teach. Creative thinking is a hallmark of all the people who are made an offer of pupillage."
"It meant I could fully rely on my co-pupil when I was stressed about something."
Another hallmark of Wilberforce barristers is "openness": "For the first two weeks, whenever I bumped into someone, they'd say, 'Here is my room – if you ever need to see me, here's where I'll be,' or 'Send me an email if you ever need advice.'" Pupils and juniors felt comfortable "going into most people's rooms and asking questions" and also got the "sense that chambers is trying to integrate people." To aid with this, the set hold chambers lunch every other Friday, and chambers drinks on the alternate Fridays. "There's also a regular email that goes around the junior members to ask if anyone wants lunch – pupils are always invited too. They attend our chambers parties and are often invited to networking events." Our pupil sources reckoned this was because "if an offer of pupillage has been made, they believe you ought to be good enough to be a tenant and they feel there's a good chance you will become a member." It also helped that pupillage at Wilberforce is non-competitive: "They were always looking to take all of us on. It meant I could fully rely on my co-pupil when I was stressed about something."
"We're not trying to test whether people can stand up to difficult judges or show they don't cry when shouted at. We think those are skills they will pick up through pupillage and court experience."

We have a minimum requirement of a 2:1 degree in law or another subject and have a track record of taking on GDL students as pupils and tenants — we ensure that our interview process does not disadvantage those who have only recently commenced their legal studies.
We take great care in our selection process to identify candidates who have real potential to join Chambers at the end of their pupillage. Importantly, our pupils are not in competition with one another for a tenancy, but are assessed solely on their own abilities and performance.
We are committed to promoting and achieving equality and diversity in Chambers, so we want to receive applications from anyone who has the qualities and skills we are looking for, no matter what university you have attended, no matter what age, race, gender or sexual orientation. Our pupillage application process is name, gender, school and university 'blind,' and all applications must be made through the Pupillage Gateway.

I had a flick back through m'blog just now looking for a photo, and spotted that last winter, in the brisk blue bone-dry chill of Saskatchewan, I was missing a misty moisty Midlands midwinter.
The irony.
I've got my misty moisty midwinter wish, complete with grey and damp and rains and mud and green green grass. I'm approaching spring-summer, after double winter in the Northern and then the Southern hemisphere...and what am I craving? A crisp autumn chill, burning off into a glorious cloudless sunny day, and then overnight that first big clean snow and the first take-your-breath-away cold day that means summer's gone for good.
Seriously. Is it me, or is it a general human condition, missing whatever you currently don't have?
For me, it seems, it's clinically impossible to remember accurately anything about any place I've ever been, and this leads to a) rose-tinted specs syndrome and b) if I'm not careful, wishing my life away. Example: last winter, on a day when getting across the street to buy bread and milk was an effort too great, after weeks of not being able to get to the public swimming pool or the library or the knitting shop or anywhere not within two feet walking distance of my door, after a ten minute walk to the mall resulted in facial windburn, I said to myself, "when at some point in the future we make it to New Zealand and I feel homesick, I must remember this moment, because I will be all rose-tinted and think I was happy to be doing this." And now, I just think, aww, it wasn't that bad really. I mean, not compared with being able to see your breath inside the house, and all your clothes getting wet in the rain and never really properly drying out.
Then the other day, when I went off on that nice little morning walk because the sunrise was so pretty, I thought, "I must remember this moment later in the day when I feel defeated and cold and homesick, because at this moment I feel happy and I know there are nice things about New Zealand that I would not experience elsewhere." And then I get defeated and cold and homesick and I recall that moment, and I think, shpfff. Wasn't that great. You can get a nice sunrise in anyplace, especially ones that are not this far away from everyone and also only cold on the outside.
Considering I have now lived in three different countries, in several different cities and towns and even a village or two, and considering that in the future the chances of us internationally up-sticking again are quite high, I wonder exactly how much missing can one person realistically do? Supposing we are ensconced back in Canada or England, and I think, okay, yeah, I've got my family and friends right around the corner, and a nice warm flat, and then suddenly start remembering that really nice coffee place here, and how cool it would be to go up the cable car somewhere that isn't geographically flat as a pancake, and how lovely it was to have a real fire blazing in the grate, which wasn't all that hard to light actually...
It can't be healthy to carry on like this. Advice on living in the moment, please. Immediately.

Rihanna's Sweater Pants: Is Her Covered Up Look Hot Or Not?
The songstress looked cozy and comfy when she stepped out in NYC, rocking one of the season's biggest trends — cozy knits! Did you love her look or was it too over the top? VOTE.
While she often rocks one revealing look after another, Rihanna managed to make a major statement — and she did so in one of her most covered-up looks to date! The 26-year-old songstress stepped out to celebrate her grandfather's birthday at Phillipe restaurant in NYC on Nov. 3, where she rocked Celine separates, which included wide-leg, flared knit pants underneath a long-sleeved knit dress. Sure, the temperature is definitely cooling down, but RiRi would've been just fine rocking the dress without the pants. Do you agree?
Rihanna's Sweater Pants — Grandfather's Birthday Dinner Outfit:
Her grey monochromatic ensemble looked comfy and chic, even if it was more covered up than we're used to seeing on the star. The knit fabric clung to her curves allowing the songstress to flaunt her figure even though she didn't show a hint of skin. Considering she was out to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, we think it was wise of RiRi to cover up.
A pair of nude-colored pointy pumps and oversized hoop earrings completed the look as she wore her hair back, keeping the focus on her knit ensemble. A Louis Vuitton bag rounded out her outfit.
While it isn't everyday that we get to see RiRi all covered up, I appreciate the fact that she still managed to stand out by trying such a high-fashion look — even if it is quite questionable.
Do you agree? What do you think of Rihanna's covered up outfit?

Even though The Bacchae was written in 408 B.C, we can recognize in the play themes, values and prejudices that are so engrained in our Western culture to this day. Greek gods and goddesses had gender and their dynamics were similar to the contemporary ones. Dionysus is a manly god, his battle with Pentheus resembles two men fighting for power, protecting their pride and manhood against mockery. They both feel complete authority and send grandiose threats for disobedience to their God/King authority.
In this annotation I am looking at the gender normative narrative embedded in The Bacchae. The gender mandates are expressed in the assigned clothing for each gender. Men dress as men and women dress as women. The violation of this mandate carries shame and humiliation. Euripides ridicules the old men dressing as women to join the Bachcae's rituals: "He is incongruously dressed in the bacchant's fawn skin and he is crowned with ivy", he says in the stage directions when referring to Teiresias. "He is an incongruous and pathetic figure" (161), he adds when referring to Cadmus.
A man dressed as a woman will be ridiculed and reduced to a joke but also will carry with him the ultimate destruction of his dignity. Pentheus will succumb, after losing his fight with Dionysus, facing what seems to be the supreme offense and humiliation a man can face, he will walk to his death dressed as a woman.
Convinced by Dionysus, Pentheus agrees to dress in a woman's dress to see the revels in the mountains. Even though at the beginning he thinks that he "would die of
shame" (191) by doing it, he allows Dionysus to lead his cross- dressing. This ritual between the two manly figures becomes particularly relevant because Dionysus is secretly planning Pentheus destruction but Pentheus is innocently enjoying the ceremony. Dionysus puts a wig on him with long curls. (191). Next, robes to his feet and a net for his hair. Then a thyrsus for his hand and a skin of dappled fawn. (192). After showing resistance to dress in women's clothes, Pentheus begins to enjoy his transformation becoming a real drag queen. "One of your curls has come loose from under the snood where I tucked it", Dionysus complains. "It must have worked loose when I was dancing for joy and shaking my head" , Pentheus responds. Dionysus sees Pentheus's transformation as his victory and enjoys humiliating him.
There's an apparent bonding between the two men during the cross-dressing, Pentheus gives himself to Dionysus, " I am completely in your hands" (196), he tells him.
But Dionysus sees his transformation as his victory. This way he plans the ultimate punishment for Pentheus. He will die twice, first by being ridiculed: "I want him made the laughingstock of Thebes, paraded through the streets, a woman" (193). And then "butchered by the hands of his mother." (193).
The fall and destruction of Pentheus is marked by his transformation into a woman. That's the death we see onstage. The death in the hands of his mother happens off stage. At the end Agave, his mother, enters carrying Pentheus head on her thyrsus.
The struggle for power between the two manly figures, King and God, ends with the triumph of the god Dionysus and the collapse of the king Pentheus, whose image is shattered to pieces.
Even though Euripides guides our feelings through the stage directions, stressing how ridicule and pathetic men look when dressing as women, the feminization of Pentheus before his horrible death makes him in a way a martyr in the story. We end with a feeling of sympathy for this man who was at the beginning arrogant and manly, and dies wearing a wig with long curls and jewelry, a woman. Laughter or pity seem to be the only two feelings we are allowed to experience in the face of this gender bending scene.

Oh, we were just thrilled to receive this beautiful sample from the great team we've worked with at Evergreen Enterprises! Thank-you Evergreen!
Apparently these doormats with our artwork are available at many locations that carry Evergreen doormats and we even found an online Groupon offer for the decorative doormat! Here's a couple sightings we've had of the Hello Fall doormat. Let us know if you see one in your area!

The idea of sharing, in general, can prompt feelings of vulnerability, doubt, and fear.
My story isn't special… Who cares… It won't make a difference… I don't know how…
Yet, despite many of these, I woke up this morning feeling inspired to share.
Recently my sister Brittany and I have been going through possessions and things that belonged to our parents. Our mother passed away in 1998 and our father in 2003. One of the things I came across was a document entitled "Bev's Story." It is an autobiographical account of my mother's journey. She was passionate about writing and sharing her story of faith with others. Her bravery and transparency has inspired me to put pen to paper (respectively) and begin to share through this blog.
So…I shall attempt to answer these questions:
The answer to this question will most certainly be an ongoing discovery of the collision between plans and purpose.
The rich past, present, and future seem to be more than I can responsibly contain.
Insecurities aside, I think of countless motivational lines that speak to reaching the end of one's comfort zone and finding life near that edge.
So…I do plan to begin by sharing my mother's story. For too long it has been hidden in a dusty envelope. I expect to be inspired by her perspective, moved by the memories , and shaped by sharing.
Psalm 40:9-10 I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord. I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.

FAO Schwarz, NYC
I'm very grateful that Auntie Jackie and Grandma insisted we take the kids to the 5th Avenue FAO Schwarz. The last time I went there was when the store was going through some financial difficulties so the store was scaled down and seemed sparse, from how I remember it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the store is still quite magical and things are so delightfully displayed.
Ever watch the movie Big? If you did, then I'm sure you can recall the scene where Tom Hanks and his friend play the giant piano on the floor inside FAO Schwarz. The piano is still there. And there are many newer things: apart from the blocks, trains, specialty stuffed animals like life-size dragons and dinosaurs, there are other novelties like a place where you can build your own Jim Hensons muppet of your own, a studio where you can choose from a selection of clay items to paint and have it glazed and baked in a kiln, a doll section of all makes and sizes and dream houses, a lovely princess section where bright and sparkly tulle and tiaras line the walls and areas dedicated to the long-loved brands like Barbie, Lego, Hot Wheels. The kids were literally all over the place for hours.
To get there by subway, take the N or R to the 5th Avenue station. If you have a stroller, you'll need to be prepared to walk up quite a few steps.

Moscow Selects NXP's MIFARE Plus for Urban Transportation Ticketing System
Russian capital integrates metro, urban railway, tram and bus ticketing on one MIFARE-based solution, with suburban trains, parking, road tolling and other city services to follow
Singapore, April 4, 2013 – NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that the Moscow Department of Transport has selected MIFARE Plus® for the new "TROIKA" smart card project in order to provide a smooth system migration to higher security. The new multi-modal card aims to improve the quality of passenger service and make public transport more attractive to use. The Moscow transport network serves an urban area with a population of over 20 million people, and enables over 350 million trips per month.
The new smart card will help passengers to have better, more convenient trips by decreasing one of the biggest problems during Moscow's rush hour: waiting times at cash desks. Travelers can store any type of ticket on the card without fear of expiry, while frequent travellers can benefit from lower costs when using multiple modes of transport. The contactless card functions with a flexible tariff system, and allows for the future integration of services such as parking, road-tolling, bike rental and in the longer term, mobile ticketing.
"The TROIKA eWallet project is the next step in the evolution of our automatic fare collection system in Moscow, providing passengers with a multi-functional transport card, combining all types of urban transport, with suburban trains and other services such as parking and bike rental to be added in the near future," said Maxim Liksutov, chairman of the Moscow Department of Transport.
"With this new transport card, passengers can benefit from a better and more convenient service by having all types of transport in the Moscow area at their fingertips," added Dmitry Pyankovsky, head of the Automatic Fare Collection Unit at the Moscow Department of Transport.
Customer service will be significantly improved, with 25,000 new topping-up points being introduced across the city to reduce cash desk queues. To ensure improved end-to-end system security, the new readers will contain NXP's reader ICs and MIFARE SAM AV2 for secure key storage and back-end connection to the central server. For passengers, the new distribution channels offer a more flexible way of buying tickets.
NXP is the industry's only provider of a complete identification and transit ticketing solution, from low-end ticketing to high-end secure microcontroller platforms and corresponding reader ICs and SAMs. Transportation and Ticketing Smart Cards and ICs, a new report from ABI Research, confirmed NXP as the global leader in implementation and innovation, with an overall transport ticketing market share of 77%.
"Our fast-moving world faces urbanization and environmental challenges, making the need for flexible and secure travel solutions more important than ever. The backwards compatibility of MIFARE products enables a seamless upgrade to a higher security level without the need to revoke or re-issue existing cards," said Ulrich Huewels, vice president and general manager, card security business line, NXP Semiconductors. "The two largest cities in Russia – Moscow and St. Petersburg – trust second generation MIFARE products to deliver a more comprehensive, secure and flexible ticketing system. NXP provides a complete end-to-end solution, used in more than 650 cities worldwide."
NXP MIFARE Plus is based on open global standards for both air interface and cryptographic methods. It is available in two versions: MIFARE Plus S, the Slim version, for straightforward migration of MIFARE Classic systems; and MIFARE Plus X, the eXpert version, which offers more flexibility to optimize the command flow for speed, privacy, and confidentiality.
The NXP MIFARE SAM AV2 solution lets developers of smart card applications to meet the requirements of ever-changing security standards. Unlike other products in the field, MIFARE SAM AV2 has proven interoperability with all of NXP's broad card portfolio, making it the most versatile and secure SAM solution on the market today. When used in combination with a reader IC supporting innovative "X" features, MIFARE SAM AV2 provides a significant boost in performance to the reader along with faster communication between reader and module.

Tom Lee is the latest guy to give hope to Bitcoin casino miners. Lee is the Wall Street Strategist. He is urging clients to consider doing more business.
The Wall Street Strategist argues that this is the right time. He is asking his clients to do more business. That will make the Bitcoin gain a lot.
His predictions are a whopping $11, 500. That will be the value of Bitcoin by June 2018. Lee's talk comes a few days after having a different approach.
How Much Longer Will We See Bitcoin Growth?
Bitcoin continues to perform. This is irrespective of what is happening. There are many negative talks about Bitcoin. Nothing can stop the performance of this digital currency.
In 2017, the digital currency was performing well. But now the year is coming to a close.
This gives way to yet another year. In 2018, many people are expecting high results. Lee and his group believe in many things. They hold that 2018 will be a good year for Bitcoin casino section.
There is no sign that the performance is stopping. Things indicate that the digital currency will have a greater market. Many people are now making predictions.
Their predictions may be big. The fact remains that this digital currency will remain steady. Ronnie Moas is one of the guys. He has a strong conviction. He believes Bitcoin has a bright future.
In November, Moas is making two predictions. He is changing his belief in the performance twice. There is an element of hope in his predictions.
The latest word from Ronnie shows so. He holds that the digital currency is unstoppable. Many too hold the idea that of Moas.
Others look exaggerated. But there is a possibility of happening. One such a prediction has a staggering figure. Max Keiser is the author of this feeling.
According to Keiser, there will reach a time for a big value. He says that the digital currency has the ability. It will hit $100, 000. "There are chances of the Bitcoin hitting $100, 000," he says.
What Are The Main Boosters For Digital Currency?
Bitcoin is receiving its energy from three main boosters. Many things are taking place. This is especially so in the recent weeks. The bitcoin was going through one after another.
Square Cash's testing bitcoin payment. This is a major boost. You can say that. Square Cash has a big space in the business sector. By testing bitcoin payment, it is opening for more.
The second booster is a SegWit2x dump. It is a good thing that the digital currency is bouncing back. If it is working as the plan is, bitcoin will suffer. But now by bouncing, the value grows.
CME allows futures on Bitcoin. This is by far one of the greatest boosters. In 2017, the digital currency is getting a lot of 'help' from different sectors. This is helping the cryptocurrency.
These three boosters have come at the right time. They are starting when it is at around $4, 300. Now the value is a whopping $11, 500. With 2018 around the corner, Bitcoin casino will flourish.

The US president said America plans to remain a "steadfast partner" of the kingdom.
Mr Khashoggi, a journalist and staunch critic of the Saudi rulers, was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October after entering to obtain documents so he could marry his Turkish fiancee.
Mr Trump said: "Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event – maybe he did and maybe he didn't!
"We may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder of Mr Jamal Khashoggi. In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"The United States intends to remain a steadfast partner of Saudi Arabia."
In a statement released by the White House, the president indicated he had no intention of cancelling $110bn in military contracts with Riyadh, saying: "If we foolishly cancel these contracts, Russia and China would be the enormous beneficiaries."
Mr Trump also warned that oil prices would "skyrocket" if the US made a "terrible mistake" to break up with Saudi.
Saudi prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for five suspects charged with the journalist's murder.
But the CIA is reported to have concluded that Saudi's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered his assassination – which he denies – and the 15 assassins flew on government planes to Turkey.
The US president said he has seen the report and claimed it is not "definitive".
John Brennan, a former CIA director and fierce critic of Mr Trump, tweeted that the president "excels in dishonesty" so Congress will have to obtain the CIA findings of the "heinous act" which nobody should get away with.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen said the White House manoeuvre demonstrated "President Trump's habit of siding with murderous foreign dictators over American intelligence professionals" and called this "a stain on our democracy".
However, Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state, backed his boss, highlighting that the US relationship with the Saudis is bigger than the murder.
"It's a mean, nasty world out there, the Middle East in particular," he said.
"It is the president's obligation, indeed the State Department's duty as well, to ensure that we adopt policies that further America's national security.
"So as the president said today, the United States will continue to have a relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They're an important partner of ours."
On Sunday Mr Trump said he had been fully briefed on a "vicious and terrible" audio recording of the killing but he could not bring himself to listen to it.
"I don't want to hear the tape, [there is] no reason for me to hear the tape," he said.
"It's a suffering tape. It's a terrible tape. It was very violent, very vicious and terrible."
Turkey maintains it is in possession of a recording of the death, which it said had been shared with officials from Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, the US and the UK.
On Tuesday, Turkey's foreign minister said the country could formally seek a UN investigation over the killing if co-operation with Saudi Arabia comes to an impasse.
But while Mr Trump and US vice president Mike Pence have both insisted they are determined to hold accountable those responsible for the murder, the White House has been reluctant to jeopardise its relationship with Riyadh.
Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One for a visit to fire-ravaged California over the weekend, Mr Trump said Saudi Arabia remained a "truly spectacular ally in terms of jobs and economic development".
He denied the US had reached a conclusion on who was responsible for the murder of Mr Khashoggi.

Decided to give a swim a try. My ribs hurt when I do most things and thought that as long as the pain is not worse lets see what happens. So putting on my suit was painful, all kinds of contortions required, or so it seemed any way. Hopped in and shocking it did not aggravate my ribs to swim, it actually felt good. I am jumping for joy, well bobbing as I am in the water, approach the wall and flip and OMG....screaming underwater as it felt like someone jammed a screwdriver into my rib cage. WOW, so swimming good, flipping very bad. I do a few more laps with very antiquated touch and go turns, in a a 25 yard pool, but am happy to be swimming. I get in a groove and habit takes over and I flip again, shooting pain, no more flips. After 700 yards I stop, don't want to be over zealous. Happy camper!!! Plan is Wed, swim in ocean, no flip turns and see about getting back my swimming arms.
Ran today....hot, hot, hot... at 7am. Amazing the heat we are having. Was a bit sluggish so kept it nice and easy. Dogs nearly passed out and protested at 30 minutes and decided to go home. I dropped them off and finished my run, came up and took a swim with Zen. Had a ride on the schedule and as the day progressed and I was very busy working, I put it off. Finally caught up, done with calls and my To Do for the day and headed out for a ride. Fatigue in the legs for sure so made it a nice spin....well until the boy had to ride by me on Carmel Valley Road. He did not blow by, was picking up the pace to pass me and then 100 yards later, slowed down. I tell myself just spin along and stick to the plan. We approach a hill and I notice he is getting bigger as I gain on him, nope not going to do it, nice easy spin. I am close to his wheel and cannot resist and have to ride by and drop the boy. At the top of the climb he is 200+ yards back and working hard. Lucky for me I turn right and am headed home. Funny, legs felt good when I needed them to. Rest of the ride was nice and easy. Came home, went swimming and desperately tried to cool down. Where is the June gloom......When is fall?? Okay, stop bitching and enjoy the summer.

Local autistic teen a virtuoso on the piano
SPRING, TX When you hear Nathan Pustka perform, you know you're in the presence of a musical genius. Even more remarkable than his vocal quality and piano performance is the fact that he does it all exclusively from auditory memory; no notes with lyrics, no sheet music. Nathan has taught himself to sing and play just by listening to songs on his iPod. He figures out chords, and remembers the songs, even the lyrics, perfectly. Nathan also has perfect pitch, a note-identifying talent that exists in one in every 10,000 people. But there's something else about Nathan that makes his gift even more remarkable. He is autistic. While he is unable to communicate many of his thoughts through speech, at the piano, he is in control of every note, every word, expressing himself perfectly through music. "I've been teaching special needs kids for 15 years, and Nathan is the most amazing student that I've run across in all those years," Klein Collins High School special education teacher Johnny Dement said. But there is even more to Nathan's story. His parents are both deaf. "I am not teaching him how to play," said his father, Stephen Pustka. "I'm very surprised," said Aida Villareal, Nathan's mother. "I'm very shocked." They are stunned that their special needs child could teach himself to do all this with absolutely no input from them. They only wish they could hear him. "I cry," Villareal said. "I can't hear." The family hopes Nathan's miraculous ability will open doors for other people with austism. "It makes me feel wonderful," Stephen Pustka said. "Now I can see he can do something in this world," his sister, Vickie Pustka, said. "We've always been like, where's Nathan going to go in life? What can he do? And he can play the piano. That's perfect." Nathan's teacher said he has encountered other kids with special abilities, like math savants, but he said he has never had a musical genius. Nathan's perfect pitch also allows him to imitate and match the vocal quality of any sound he hears, including people's voices and even the school bell.

O-Food's intention is to show London the future of fast food by focusing on responsibly sourced vegetarian and fish dishes, with a Nordic twist. The fish it uses are non-"Big Five". The so-called "Big Five" fish comprises haddock, prawns, tuna, cod and salmon. The popularity of these types of fish creates problems when it comes to replenish-able fishing stock. O-food uses fish sourced from low impact fisheries in Kentalong with fresh, locally sourced vegetables from British farms. Its take-away menu takes inspiration from the Nordics and the preparation techniques used in the region's leading restaurants. Rumour has it there are two Michelin starred chefs involved in the development of the menu.
The three founders Jens Hannibal, Daniel Flösser and Roel Philippart set up O-food because of a shared passion for sustainable food and business after meeting while studying in London.
Jens Hannibal, one of the co-founders explains: "We're not people who think that meat-based fast food is inherently bad. We just think that someone needs to take the lead to show people delicious, low impact, alternatives to meat and mainstream choices of fish. Through our pop-up we were hoping to prove that the world is ready for the idea of tasty, sustainable fast food that doesn't include meat. Over the last four weeks, we've been overwhelmed by the response from local customers. So much so, that we've decided to put our own money into extending the pop-up for a few more weeks to get more people behind the concept."
The Sandwiches are priced around £5 and they are worth every penny. "The Hook" and "The Portobello" are highly recommended. Also available are salads, coffee and tea and even breakfast.
The next pop-up shall be announced later this year. Can't wait for it to open…
O-Food can be found at 54 Rivington Street, London EC2A 3QN. It is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm and will be serving until 23rdof September.www.o-food.co.uk
