The Episode
Season: 3
Episode: 1
Title: "The Lockout"
The Review
September is rapidly coming to an end and we just passed the equinox last week, so it's safe to say that autumn is in the air. For some, that means back-to-school and changing leaves, for others that means turkey and Halloween costumes. For me, it means football. But not watching football. And not playing football. And not even playing a football video game. No, autumn means watching a television show that is tangentially focused on a group of dysfunctional adults participating in a fantasy football league. It's quite a few degrees of separation away from anything remotely athletic, but that's usually how I operate.
Minute for minute, joke for joke, The League is by far one of the funniest shows on TV today, and you don't have to know jack about football to get a kick out of it. I can only assume that being familiar with a few players would in some way enrich the viewing experience, but for now we'll leave that as a silly hypothesis. After all, I'd much rather gush about my love for this show by highlighting one of my favorite episodes. (And no, I'm not talking about the one where Eliza Dushku is the sexy, flirtatious Krav Maga instructor, though anybody who's read my Dollhouse article knows the affinity I have for the woman.)
The focus here is going to be on "The Lockout," the third season premiere, and quite possibly the best season premiere of the bunch. See, the first episode of most seasons of The League tend to go all out, pulling out all the stops and sending the group on some gimmicky romp (like the Vegas draft that started Season Two, or the trip to the Dallas Cowboys training camp in Season Three). This episode, though, stays at home in Chicago, and because of that it's a reasonably accessible jumping-on point, and in many ways a better first episode to watch than the pilot.
It helps that it hits the ground running with Rodney Ruxin's absurd, cameo-filled musical number, "The Shiva Bowl Shuffle." It's a taste of how ridiculous the show is willing to become to get a laugh (a theme that ends up defining the climax of this episode). What follows is a fairly standard re-introduction to the main characters, with Andre serving out his punishment for losing the previous year by playing the flute at a bus stop as the others watch with glee. This flows into a run-of-the-mill (by League standards) bar scene, complete with semi-improvised dialogue and a dash of exposition. The stand-out moment, which in a way is indicative of the quality of ribald humor that this show's peculiar structure is able to elicit, comes from Ruxin. He turns to a ragged Andre and asks "Do you see yourself more as a rapist who does magic, or a magician who also likes to rape?" That alone would be enough to make me giggle, but it's Andre's pitch-perfect, dead-pan response that speaks volumes about this show's edgy, unremorseful sense of humor: "Okay, well, with me magic always comes first."
Other than that line, it would appear that this episode is relatively tame. Within the first ten minutes or so, all the plot development we really get is Jenny trying to train her husband Kevin like a dog and the group fudging the draft order results to keep Ruxin from picking first. The situation remains fairly benign, typically sitcom-y. Of course, this is The League, so the status quo only sticks for a few minutes at most.
When Taco, Kevin's stoner brother, is reintroduced, we are treated to a clip of his appearance on a Middle Eastern soap opera as an American "rapper/cowboy/cautionary tale" whose catchphrase of choice is "Bang, bang, what's the hang?!" It's goofy, but it's Taco, so this really isn't out of the ordinary. But it warms us up rather nicely for the reappearance of another bizarre character and audience favorite: Jason Mantzoukas as Ruxin's criminally insane brother-in-law, Rafi.
Now, Rafi is one of the more ridiculous characters in a cast full of sociopaths and vengeful competitors, so you might think that he would seem out-of-place in a season premiere that I have, thus far, touted as grounded. But that's the real accomplishment of this episode, that it can bring Rafi back to the group in a public library, introducing himself by saying (in a sing-song voice) "I am day-drunk and ready to see my dick," and have that mesh with the rest of the plot. He doesn't feel shoehorned into the episode, and it really does make sense for him and his associate Dirty Randy (played by Seth Rogan) to want to shoot a porno film called "My Orgy at Andre's" at Andre's apartment. It's difficult to explain how seamlessly "The Lockout" flows from suburban married shenanigans, to fantasy football politics, to absurdist smut humor without forcibly sitting you down and making you watch it. Instead, I will simply reiterate that this episode is one of the best introductions you can have to The League, since it assumes you know nothing while still throwing you into the deep end of its more disgusting humor without so much as a warning or a floatie.
The ending of this episode also represents something that I love about The League: it's a show that doesn't care about consequences. Most of the time when I watch television, I pick it apart and become frustrated that events aren't followed to their logical conclusions, that actions don't bring about proper consequences. When it comes to The League, though, I never have that problem. Every episode reaches an insane, almost infeasible climax, and as soon as the punchline is delivered the credits roll. They make no qualms about the fact that The League exists solely in the service of humor, as a vehicle for a joke, and once it's fulfilled that role it has no more reason to exist. Sure, I like character development as much as the next guy, but sometimes it's just nice to sit down knowing that for the next twenty minutes I'm going to laugh, and as soon as I'm done laughing the episode will end.
So you can be excited about whatever you want this autumn. You can look forward to apple picking and pumpkin carving and whatever else. I'll be over here laughing my ass off.

|The topic of this page has a wiki of its own: The Demon Headmaster Wikia
The Demon Headmaster was a television series, made for CBBC, based on the Demon Headmaster books by Gillian Cross.
A notable fact from the TV series is that the only character who wear glasses of any kind is the Headmaster himself: he is only able to hypnotise people when he removes these.
Fans of the Demon Headmaster have grouped together to create a Demon Headmaster Wikia, just like this Wikia, which offers the largest source of information on both the book and TV series. Click here to visit.
Relation to the books Edit
The television show was adapted from four of The Demon Headmaster novels by Gillian Cross.
The first three episodes of series one were adapted from the first book, The Demon Headmaster, and episodes 4 - 6 were adapted from the second book in the series, The Demon Headmaster and the Prime Minister's Brain. The second series was adapted from The Demon Headmaster Strikes Again, and the third series is adapted from The Demon Headmaster Takes Over.
Release Edit
The first series was released on VHS on 5 January 1998, in which the series was re-edited into two 70-minute long episodes (Look Into My Eyes and The Prime Minister's Brain). The release can be watched on YouTube.

On April 27, 2006, 49 people were killed when Comair Flight 5191 crashed at Bluegrass Airport in Lexington, KY. Today, this sculpture of 49 birds representing each of the victims, stands as a memorial in the University of Kentucky's Arboretum.
The pieces are made of a magnesium aluminum alloy and welded together to form a flock of birds taking flight. Even if you are not familiar with the story behind the artwork, the piece if breathtaking.
It is located in the middle of the arboretum's rose garden on a platform that is inscribed with the victims' names.
From across the rose garden fence, the birds appear to be flying out of the garden.
All these pictures were shot on a very sunny day with polarizing filter attached to my lens. They were shot at F22 on AV setting, 200 ISO, using a Canon Rebel.
Have fun with your camera 🙂

Over 5,000 people from across the country converged on Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, August 13, for a rally in support of the #Fightfor15.
The day before, Local 500 child care leaders met with providers still in the process of organizing their union to share lessons learned from having successfully built a strong provider union in Maryland.
Later, after the march, higher education leaders from Local 500 organized a meeting of fellow contingent faculty to discuss how to harness the energy of the growing movement for contingent faculty unions.

**as a note, I wrote part 2 before part 1, but part 1 seemed like it needed to be first
Question: Why was I chosen for the lost?
The cards say:
The Lovers, The Wheel Of Fortune, The Magician: You were chosen by blind chance and you went along with it. The ultimate choice is yours, but there is a pull that you haven't been able to resist; as the wheel spins, you get lost in the ride. And then there is the fact that you are just so damn alluring that seekers can't seem to help but be drawn to you and your magic. But remember you are the magician and you can do whatever you damn well please. Do you see which side the handle of the wheel is on? It's on the side of the magician…which means the magician controls it.
"Blind chance" came from the angel hovering above your head in the lovers. The divine winged being wears a blindfold while shooting arrows. How does he know what he aims at? It's all chance.
The Lovers is the crossroad. People think it's about romance and true, passionate love. It's not…at all. It's about choice…to stay or go, to choose this or that, etc. Do I go this way or that way? The crossroad.
Such was my consult from Batelevr (henceforth to be known the Keeper of Batelevr, or "B" for short.. she has turned in her path, my fellow hedger, much like the wheel.. her path moving through the mists she now peers through and the provider of the above photo). It brought forth a great many thoughts.. foremost of Fortuna, the Fates, and that pledge I made at the crossroads summers ago.
The wheel belongs to her, Fortuna, to spin at random. It is said that she is insane and blind.. and wherever that wheel lands is where fortune falls. She will never still because to do so she would cease to be fortune. The wheel is cosmic law, nothing remains static.. from chaos turns order turns chaos.. the cycle of all things.
"The wheel of fortune is an ancient image, depicting man bound to the wheel of destiny, helpless before blind chance or the impartial hands of the Fates; who spin, measure, and then finally cut the threads of his life. Even then, as we attain the quiet centre, we understand that before too long it will be time to move on to the next cycle." – The Intuitive Tarot by Cilla Conway.
Oh the fates (or as I refer to them, those twisted bitches).. in Greek mythology they were the Moirai, white robed incarnations of destiny. Their number became fixed at three (I so love threes) – the spinner, the drawer of lots, and the unturnable.. or so I read. They watched over the fate assigned by eternal laws to be sure it took the proper course. I tend to prefer the Norns and the mythology of Yggdrasil..
In blinding and chance woven into the threads of destiny, I thought of the Justice card in the Wildwood deck.. the image of her blindfolded before the scales. I also thought of an old convo with Walking Bear on caring for the fallen or the fallout. That is neither here nor there and I am rambling again.. but then the magician is the equivalent of the Shaman in the Wildwood deck and in it the bringer of insight. He also brings understanding of your true place in the world. The Lovers in this Wildwood are in part representative of balance, an exchange of respect and the burning away of the waste of greed.
Choice and balance. Chance and the weavers of fate. Control and insight. And an old pledge that still seems to be bringing me the lost.

Bath time
Surprisingly, some cats like water and will tolerate baths, but for most
cats a bath is a hair raising experience. Owners often ask, how
frequently their cat should be bathed. There is no set schedule for
bathing a cat, and some cats may never need a bath. Factors to consider
when deciding about a bath are:
Kittens develop very quickly and are grown-up cats before you know it. The maturation that occurs during a kitten's first six months of life correlates to the first 15 years of a human's life.......
Cats rely on their natural instincts for hunting, self preservation and elimination. Many of the behaviors cat owners deem undesirable are simply manifestations of natural behaviors.........
Cats cannot tell us how they feel, so it is important to have some understanding of the signs that a cat is sick. Cats are generally stoic animals, and often they do not let us know .........
Bath time
There is no set schedule for bathing a cat, and some cats may never need a bath. Factors to consider when deciding about a bath are:.........
Food has a high ranking on a cat's top 10 list. It ranks higher than affection from you, cravings for catnip and clawing the furniture! Food is a treat some ...........
Although cats are said to have nine lives, they only have one, and you can help that one along. In the wild cats do a good job of taking care of themselves .................
As a cat owner, it is useful to have some basic knowledge about the diseases you protect your cat from with vaccines. You may be surprised to find out that vaccines are not as .......
Cats are very efficient at reproducing and are able to have several litters a year with multiple kittens in each. Most cats go through puberty at an early age somewhere .......
Cats do not live forever, although we'd like them to. When you have shared your home with a cat for many years, he becomes an integral member of the family, and you develop strong ........
The skin is the largest organ of any animal's body; it comprises 12 to 24 percent of a cat's body weight. It protects the cat and is responsible for much of her external appearance ......
The central nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is the computer that commands the other parts of the body. Cerebral spinal fluid surrounds the brain ........

The PHOSPHORUS in Parmesan cheese helps fire up the engines within your body's cells, giving you the energy you need to last all night.
1/2 cup instant polenta / 2 cups water / 1/3 cup grated Parmesan / tbsp butter / FOR THE FILLETS
1 1/2 tbsp butter / 2 (6 oz) filets mignons, about 1 inch thick / 1 medium shallot, finely diced cup dry red wine
Salt and pepper to taste
To make:
[1] Combine polenta with water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
[2] As mixture thickens, add Parmesan and butter. Stir until polenta is fully cooked and thickened, about 4 minutes.
[3] In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp butter; when it starts to bubble, add fillets.
[4] Cook, turning once, until browned on both sides and done to your liking (about 12 minutes for
medium). Remove fillets from pan but leave pan on stove.
[5] Add remaining 1/2, tbsp butter and shallots; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes.
[6] Add Beef, like this filet mignon, is a great source of CLA--CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID--a type of good fat that has been shown in studies to help increase muscle mass and decrease levels of body fat.
Stick with butter when cooking rather than margarine, which has three times the number of evil TRANS FATS.
Dry red wines supply the body with FLAVONOIDS, beneficial plant compounds that keep the blood flowing to all the right places.
You'll look better in the buff with the POTASSIUM in asparagus. It prevents puffiness by helping counteract the water retention salt can cause.
Polenta is packed with carbs, but they're the good kind--capable of boosting levels of a natural feel-good compound called SEROTONIN in both your brain and hers.
wine; cook sauce until 2-3 tbsp of liquid is left (no more than 5 minutes).
[7] To serve, put a small mound of polenta in center of plate; top with fillet. Spoon sauce over all.
[8] Serve immediately with roasted or steamed asparagus.

Beginning his new career in 1988, he had stories accepted here and there but it took a long time for him to hone his craft and produce top quality work. One of the stories in this collection was first published in 2000. He had his share of frustration during this time, with a couple of novels taking up space in a drawer to prove it. But he stuck with it, treating writing as a job, whether or not he was published, five days a week writing every day, every day, every day.It was a lot of things coming together at once: having a kid; my wife, Sharie, making partner at her firm; me having practiced for five years and just absolutely having had enough; me turning thirty and thinking that if I was going to make a run at trying to be a writer I needed to get going. There was a sense of urgency, of time passing. (from Ecotone)
He would visit Haiti over 30 times. The notion of going to Colombia or Sierra Leone was raised, but funds and time are not limitless and his wife was aghast at the notion.On a rational basis, I saw Haiti as a paradigm for a lot of things I was interested in relating to power, politics, race, and history. I went there a couple of times and at that point I probably had what I needed to get. It was some comfort to me to know, flying out of there the second or third time, that I didn't really have to go back—and yet I did go back, many times. Once I was there I felt pretty comfortable. And the more time I spent there, the more there was that I felt I needed to understand. But I still can't give a satisfactory explanation for how it happened.
I practiced law for five years and that gives you insight into a certain mind-set that maybe a lot of writers haven't had firsthand access to. There's an almost casual cruelty, a very low level of overall awareness, but sometimes there's also knowledge that real damage is being done—this attitude of "Oh, what the hell," this kind of moral cognitive dissonance. These are people who have never missed a meal. It's an unknowingness, an unawareness, that Reagan personified. Reagan was so sure of everything and yet his experience of the world was so narrow. How could he be sure of anything? I saw that over and over again in the wealthier people I worked with or had contact with while practicing law. Many people were operating from a very narrow range of experience, and yet they had complete faith in it. Their way was the correct way, the only way. They had virtually no awareness of any other way of life except in terms of demonizing things like communism, socialism, or Islam. It's an extremely blindered experience of the world.
The Good Ones are Already TakenLife here had the cracked logic of a dream, its own internal rules. You looked at a picture and it wasn't like looking at a picture of a dream, it was a passage into the current of the dream. And for him the dream had its own peculiar twist, the dream of doing something real, something worthy. A blan's dream, perhaps all the more fragile for that.

We can all agree that when you talk about a lens, you're typically picturing cough a barrel with one rear element, one front element and a bunch of elements in between. So, when I heard that Lensbaby was taking this approach and tripling it, I was excited. On Wednesday, Lensbaby announced the new Trio 28, a 28mm f/3.5 prime lens with three distinct focusing optics: Twist, Velvet and Sweet (my personal favorite). Now, Lensbaby—a local Portland operation—is no stranger to building creative optics, but what is interesting is that this is the first lens that they've built exclusively with mirrorless cameras in mind. This means that the Sony E-mount, Fuji X-mount, and various Micro 4/3 camera users out there can add this lens to the arsenal. For filter lovers like me, you'll be happy to know that there is a threading to accept them. However, it's a svelte 46mm thread, so you'll want to get a step up ring if you typically use 77mm filters (I'll link to that at the end of this post).
I had the opportunity to put the Trio to use with one of their prototype models while visiting New York City. I walked around midtown, getting myself acclimated to the three creative focusing optics, trying to determine which one makes the most sense with the scene in front of me. The first thing that I noticed while using the lens (on my Sony a7R II) was how diminutive it was. It is as close to a pancake lens as any that I've scene but the build quality felt quite solid.
As I continued my stroll, I began feeling more comfortable with the ideal ways of how to use this lens. More often than not, I intentionally put my primary subject in the center of the frame, which is what will typically remain sharp while the rest of the image falls away into a very cool bokeh pattern. Actually, one of my favorite photos happened by accident as I was lifting the camera up to my face. I had accidentally hit the shutter and caught this typical scene that you'd find in midtown during the late afternoon.
In addition to using the Trio with my Sony a7R II in Manhattan, I now had a reason to dust off my OG Sony a7 that was converted to Infrared. My hope would be that the creative focus optics would breathe new life into the mundane scenery that I walk by whenever I walk my dogs. Fortunately, it did just the trick. Combining two niche photography methods—IR and the Lensbaby Trio—opened up an entirely new way for me to have fun explore my own creativity.
Accidental hip shots aside, I am quite pleased with this lens for one key reason. Namely, it gives me an entirely new reason to revisit areas that I've photographed in the past. I've often written about the benefits of revisiting the "same old scene" with a completely different lens (and only one at a time). With the Trio, I can expand on that by playing around with three unique looks. It certainly made my walk around midtown Manhattan that much more fun and creative. I'm going to hold off on diving into image quality until I receive a mass production unit. Discussing the clinical performance of prototype gear doesn't seem fair to me, so stay tuned! I'm also sure that Nicole will be sharing her take on the Lensbaby Trio with her Fuji XT-2, so keep your eyes

Format: ebook
Pages: 256 pagesISBN:9781442466258

Summary (from Goodreads)
Jules should be happy. She saved a lot of people's lives and she's finally with Sawyer, pretty much the guy of her dreams. But the nightmare's not over, because she somehow managed to pass the psycho vision stuff to Sawyer. Excellent.Feeling responsible for what he's going through and knowing that people's lives are at stake, Jules is determined to help him figure it all out. But Sawyer's vision is so awful he can barely describe it, much less make sense of it. All he can tell her is there's a gun, and eleven ear-splitting shots. Bang.Jules and Sawyer have to work out the details fast, because the visions are getting worse and that means only one thing: time is running out. But every clue they see takes them down the wrong path. If they can't prevent the vision from happening, lives will be lost. And they may be among the casualties…
Let me just start off by saying that I am totally in love with Lisa McMann and the Visions series. It's perfect. I love how the book is full of thrills, action, romance and comedy. Not one aspect outshine the other, they all mix in this perfect goo of Young Adult goodness.
The book starts off right where the first book of the series, Crash, left. Jules and Sawyer are in love and are in trouble because right after Jules managed to save all those people in Sawyer's family restaurant, Sawyer is now the one getting the odd visions. Now she has to help him save all those people in his vision, keep his paranoid father out their trail while juggling school and relationship! WOW. That's a lot of things to do for someone who just broke their arm.
The character dynamics have changed a bit this time, mainly I don't see much talk of the Angotti's aside from the occasional outbursts from Sawyer and when his grandfather beats him up. But just like he said, he's not afraid anymore and it's about time he stops being passive about something as serious as this. Honestly, I don't think it's just some stupid sauce that caused this giant family feud that crosses generational lines. I bet it has a lot to do with the visions Jules and Sawyer are getting. I'm glad Jules finally confronted her dad about him being paranoid and hypocritical talk about loyalty and trust when he had an affair with "the other side". I'm really glad she got that out of the system.
So when they finally figure out what's going to happen, they had to act pretty quick. In the end, nobody died (which is a great, awesome thing!) but Trey and some others got injured in the process. Sawyer seems to think he didn't do enough but seriously, the kid just saved 12 lives and I think that's a great feat. The whole reason why the school shooting even happened in the first place made my stomach hurt. Even Rowan got to meet her boyfriend in New York and it didn't seem like she got into much trouble, what with Trey getting all the attention. I hope we'd hear more about her in the next book....which comes out in June. Oh the wait is going to be torture!

Orange County Wrongful Death Attorney
The preventable death of a loved one can be a shattering, traumatic experience. Filing a wrongful death lawsuit may seem selfish or irrelevant – after all, says conventional wisdom, money won't bring back your loved one.
Our Orange County wrongful death lawyers understand that to be considered a wrongful death, the death must have been partially or completely preventable. The prosecution must prove the defendant committed reckless, negligent or intentional action.
In large, metropolitan areas like Orange County, negligent actions that lead to wrongful death – tragically – happen very often.
Here are some of the common causes of a wrongful death in Orange County:
- Motorcycle, auto, trucking or bicycle accidents
- Murder and other intentional acts
- Slips and falls
- Poisoning or defective products (may often lead to a recall of said product)
- Work-related accidents such as construction jobs
Orange County Wrongful Death Lawsuits
A wrongful death lawsuit is brought against a negligent party by the family of a deceased person. Wrongful death suits can be raised from careless acts like a car accident that results in a death or an intentional one like murder.
California law regarding wrongful death is straightforward: if a family member or loved one has died as a result of someone else's wrongful act, the victim's family is allowed to file a lawsuit that seeks compensation for death-related expenses.
Additionally, California law allows the victim's relatives to sue for their own damages, especially if they were financially or emotionally dependent on the victim. In this case, an injury to the victim is also perceived as an injury to the victim's spouse, children, or other family members. Damages are calculated based on what might have occurred in the future, such as an estimate of the lifelong earnings of the victim. These calculations require the expert services of a certified economist. The law also allows the victim's family to recover damages for the loss of "care, comfort and society" due to the deceased person's absence. Information regarding the wrongful death statute of limitations can be found here.
If you are looking for immediate help or answers about a claim for wrongful death damages, call our accomplished, trustworthy and experienced team of Orange County wrongful death lawyers.
At Panish, Shea and Boyle, we understand that anyone who brings a wrongful death suit is going through an incredibly difficult time. Our experienced team of attorneys gives you the personal attention and sensitivity you need while you still may be grieving. We make the process as easy as possible as we help you navigate the legal system. While the monetary damages from a wrongful death suit won't bring the victim back, they can be used to ease the burden on the victim's loved ones and set their – and your – lives back on track.
A wrongful death suit can seek compensation for medical and funeral bills, emotional pain and suffering caused by the death, and loss of financial support. While it may seem daunting to face a legal battle at this time, an experienced and thoughtful Orange County wrongful death attorney can help secure the money and closure you need to move forward.
Panish Shea & Boyle Gets Results
Our firm has successfully obtained compensation for a number of families affected by a wrongful death. Partner Brian Panish won a $25.5 million jury verdict for the relatives of a family of three that were killed by a drunk driver. Panish worked with partner Kevin Boyle to recover $2.8 million for the elderly parents of a 48-year old man killed in a collision between a freight train and a commuter train.

Let the experience and knowledge of our personal injury attorneys carry you and your family through this difficult time and get you the compensation that will allow you to move forward.

Indian defence chief rebuts Rafale allegations on France visit
Paris, Oct 11, 2018 (AFP) - India's defence minister faced new questions
Thursday over a 2016 deal to buy Rafale fighter jets from France, which
critics say unfairly profited a key backer of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking at a briefing in Paris, Nirmala Sitharaman reiterated the
government's claim that it had no idea the jets' builder, Dassault Aviation,
would team up with Reliance Group, run by the Indian billionaire Anil Ambani.
Several reports say Dassault was forced to choose Reliance by Modi, despite
its having almost no experience in the aviation sector.
On the eve of Sitharaman's visit French investigative website Mediapart
quoted the notes of a meeting between Dassault management and workers'
representatives which described the choice of Reliance as "imperative and
"We are very clear: With the government of France, we agreed to purchase 36
Rafale aircraft in flyaway condition," Sitharaman said.
"And in an intergovernmental agreement, there are no mentions of any
individual firms," she said.
Pressed on whether India would go ahead with the deal amid a chorus of
"crony capitalism" claims and complaints filed by Indian anti-corruption
groups, the minister adopted a more combative tone.
"It is more for the companies which have chosen A, B or C as their partners
to answer questions if there are any," she said.
Dassault on Wednesday contested the Mediapart report, saying it had "freely
chosen" to form a joint venture with Reliance.
But that stance was contradicted recently by former French president
Francois Hollande, under whose watch the Rafale deal was signed.
Hollande said last month that France had "no choice" but to join with
Reliance after it was pushed by the Indian government -- comments which were
seized upon by Indian opposition parties.
Under Indian defence procurement rules, foreign companies winning contracts
must "offset" or reinvest half the total value -- in this case around eight
billion euros -- in joint ventures or purchases with Indian firms.
Dassault Aviation's CEO Eric Trappier told AFP that a joint factory with
Reliance in the central Indian city of Nagpur represented "around 10 percent"
of the roughly four billion euros of offset investments.
"We're in talks with about 100 Indian firms, including around 30 with which
we've already confirmed partnerships," he said.
Dassault negotiated for years with India's state-owned Hindustan
Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the order, with the jets being jointly built in
But those talks were cancelled after Modi took office, when he decided to
purchase the jets directly from France.

As organisations are becoming more and more digitalized, preserving confidentiality (C), integrity (I), and availability (A) have brought about major concerns. With increasingly changing technology environments, maintaining C, I and A has become a tedious task for both small and large organisations. In order to preserve the CIA and maintain customer confidence, organisations are increasingly implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) as part of their day-to-day business operations as well as the ISO 27001 certification process.
An Information Security Management System ('ISMS') is a systematic approach to managing confidential or sensitive corporate information so that it remains secure (which means available, confidential and with its integrity intact). It encompasses people, processes and IT systems.
An ISMS helps you coordinate all your security efforts – both electronic and physical – coherently, consistently and cost-effectively. In this modern age, information and information systems are vital to all organisations. ISO 27001 sets out specific requirements, all of which must be followed, and against which an organisations Information Security Management System (ISMS) can be audited and certified.
Implement ISMS the easy way with these essential books and a toolkit:

Caught in the Crossfire now open!
Caught in the Crossfire: artistic responses to conflict, peace and reconciliation is now open at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum and will be on show until July 7th. So far the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we were really pleased with the reactions of the artists whose work we've featured in the exhibition. We also produced a publication to accompany the show and I have included my essay here, which gives an oversight into the exhibition and the themes it covers.
Caught in the Crossfire explores how artists have responded to the brutality of war and to the desire for peace and reconciliation. The exhibition offers a broad survey of the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum's collection as developed through the HLF Collecting Cultures scheme, and situates historical and contemporary work together in order to examine key themes. The obvious starting point for the exhibition was Coventry and the tragic events that occurred there during the Second World War; indeed, the reason for the Herbert to develop its collection in this way was the city's direct experience of the damage and destruction that war could wreak but also the city's response to the bombing, which showed us that hope and forgiveness could emerge from a desperate situation and that reconciliation is possible. In the opening section, Blitzed City, alongside John Piper's iconic work, Interior of Coventry Cathedral, November 15th, 1940, is Coventry, a newly-commissioned piece by Matthew Picton, a companion to his earlier work Dresden 1945, also on display.
Both works have been made from the burnt remnants of musical scores, Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung symbolising the destruction of city and culture, and Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, which was specially written for the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral.
In contrast to events that took place in Coventry, the experiences of soldiers, civilians and artists at the Front Line was a theme that emerged strongly in the early stages of development. A range of works using different media allows us to explore the impact of conflict on those directly involved. Shellburst by William Roberts and Soldier by Eric Kennington are particularly strong examples of the Herbert's historical collection. Roberts and Kennington were both soldiers turned artists: Roberts was a gunner in the Royal Artillery; Kennington enlisted in the 13th (Kensington) Battalion, London Regiment. Both men fought on the Western Front during the First World War and became official war artists towards the end of the conflict. More recently, John Keane was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to cover the 1990 Gulf War and his Scenes on the Road to Hell (V) depicts the new reality of conflict in the late 20th century, as images of battle and the casualties of war appeared with increasing frequency on television in our living rooms. The official war artists scheme that began during the First World War continues today. By enabling artists to enter war zones we can gain a different perspective on events, the artist offering a distinct form of direct response to war that complements, and challenges, the presence of rolling news channels. Alongside fine art representations of the front line is Rosie Kay's 5 SOLDIERS, originally a full-length dance theatre production which has been filmed in a shortened version for the web. The piece explores the physical impact of war on the bodies of soldiers and involved Kay training with the 4th Battalion the Rifles. There is also a reinterpretation of familiar images in the work of Bob Barron and Banksy, both of whom use Nick Ut's iconic photograph taken during the Vietnam War to comment on the gruesome impact of conflict upon innocent victims and, in Banksy's case, to criticise the cultural and political dominance of the US.
The artistic fascination with machines and body armour is the subject of a later section, The Machines of War, where again the historical appears alongside the contemporary. Cornelia Parker's smoothed-down sculpture, Embryo Firearms, is displayed alongside Muirhead Bone's Armoured Tank, a lithograph of the machine first used in the battle of the Somme, and witnessed by Bone in his role as official war artist. Along with the presence of big machinery and lethal weapons, the wearing of uniform can potentially turn people into machines of war, and many of the contemporary works actively engage with conflicts of the past, bringing current conflicts into wider context. The most explicit example of this is a textile piece borrowed for the exhibition, War Boutique's The Great Game, a multi-layered, complex work that explores the evolution of British military uniform from the Army's first forays into Afghanistan in the 19th century to its most recent.
The impact of a military presence in Afghanistan is also explored in a prayer rug which appropriates images of war machinery alongside more abstract designs. Afghan rugs traditionally featured abstract and geometric designs but this changed in the late 1970s when motifs relating to the Soviet invasion of the country began to appear. Rugs and small mats are now produced specifically for the export market and heavily incorporate images of war. The unease felt by artists around weaponry is expressed in subversive ways: guns with female names made from lipstick-coloured fabric, rustic material used to make talismanic garments, and dust bin lids utilised as a method of defence all comment on the troubling and changing nature of weapons and armour used in conflict.
The Lines of Division drawn up as a consequence of conflict are epitomised by Bloodlines by Iftikhar Dadi and Nalini Malani (a work that also links to reconciliation as the artists, from Pakistan and India respectively, collaborated to produce the work), Exodus by Ross Jones, and Peter Howson's harrowing Snow Road. The section is further strengthened by a selection of loans: Paul Seawright's Walls, Belfast (Gates in Grid) and Anthony Davies's Playing Soldiers and Buggy Bound address the impact of separation in Northern Ireland, both on the physical landscape but also on the behaviour of children growing up in a tense and violent environment; Simon Norfolk's photograph of the Israeli Sniper Wall at Gilo, a suburb of Jerusalem, further explores the contested physical division of land. It is Howson's painting, however, that is possibly one of the most moving and emotionally-tense works included in the exhibition. Howson, who had spent a short time as an infantry soldier before leaving to enrol at Glasgow School of Art, was the official war artist for the Bosnian War. Although he went there in 1993, he did not personally witness many incidents and much of the work he subsequently produced was based on witness accounts and statements. Snow Road, with its bleak landscape and ghostly figures, deals with the policy of ethnic cleansing that occurred during this conflict and the forcible removing of people from their homes (2.2 million people were displaced). It is difficult to look at this painting for long, and even more so when many of us can vividly remember these events taking place. There is a feeling of anguish when we confront this work, and possibly shame, that this happened in our lifetimes. Indeed, one of the many things war shows us is just how far we fall from our own standards.
As part of the Collecting Cultures project, the Herbert acquired work by the artist Peter Kennard and by kennardphillipps, a collaboration between Kennard and Cat Picton Phillipps. Protest features kennardphillipps's Award Portfolio, a highly significant work created in response to Tony Blair's decision to support the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. A fax from Radiohead musician Thom Yorke included in the portfolio offers an especially poignant reminder as we contemplate conflict through the 20th century: 'it is as if we have learned nothing'. Alongside are some powerful examples of street art, its naturally subversive spirit offering a perfect place for the expression of resistance and agitation. Banksy's CND Soldiers took on extra resonance after it became part of Brian Haw's protest camp outside the Houses of Parliament (later recreated by the artist Mark Wallinger). In developing the exhibition, it was clear from the outset that this section was extremely important and the power of the artist to voice the anger of the people, to attract attention, to subvert and attack, and to hold politicians to account in visual ways that resonate in the mind for a long time afterwards offers a counterpoint to images of conflict, suggesting that art can, in the words of Peter Kennard, be part of a 'social movement for change'. Protest also features a special section which focuses on the work of kennardphillipps made in response to the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Towards the end of the exhibition is an exploration of images of hope and reconciliation. Aftermath finds light in the bleakest and darkest of situations, as Coventry had done in the 1940s. The section emphasises the possibility of peace, and will hopefully encourage visitors to find out more about conflicts around the world, and to perhaps put pressure on politicians to find alternatives to resorting to conflict. This was the most challenging section in some ways, which reveals much about the political situation we find ourselves in today. Artists tend to address this subject less frequently, and this is perhaps due to the restricted or limited iconography available, which often reverts to clichéd images of doves and hearts. Nonetheless, there were extremely positive images of hope to draw on – the mix of races and ethnicities in a Northern Irish classroom, the excitement of children in spite of a backdrop of bomb-damaged buildings, the release of Nelson Mandela and his subsequent rise to president, the appearance of everyday signs of life as it returns to some sort of normality.
Notions of memory seem particularly important here and we want viewers to think about both remembering and forgetting. While reconciliation often requires people to acknowledge and remember the past before moving on, what if we had a day of forgetting to replace days of remembrance, where we forgot our anger, division and difference? Which offers the best way forward to securing peace?
Caught in the Crossfire aims to make people confront and contemplate the often brutal imagery of conflict and the terrible destruction it can cause, but also to show that art can be used for protest, and that ultimately the aftermath can be peaceful, former enemies can begin to live alongside one another, and reconciliation is possible. The exhibition is not an attempt to discuss one specific conflict, neither does it try to discuss all conflicts, but it is an exploration of the ways artists respond to particular events around them, at particular points in history, and to explore some fundamental issues – the impact of war at home, abroad, upon soldier and civilian, the presence of voices of resistance and dissent, and the potential for reconciliation. As Cat Picton Phillipps remarks in an interview, 'war can never lead to peace'; Caught in the Crossfire shows images of war that reveal how much work goes into obtaining peace and what we need to do to restore it once war has broken out.

Under California law, the owner of a dog is said to be "strictly liable" for any resulting injuries and damages caused by the owner's dog. We have recovered for dog bite victims in all sorts of cases including clients who while on motorcycles, bicycles, and motor scooters have been attacked by a dog. Dogs tend to give chase to people in these type of transportations. For example, we had a case where a dog dashed out to a riding bicyclist, causing the bicycle to fall and the client to fracture his right knee. We obtained a recovery against the dog's owner in that specific case. We had another case where the dog dashed against the client riding a motor scooter and threw him to the pavement causing abrasion type injuries. We were successful in proving that it happened, and obtained a very favorable settlement from the dog owner's insurance liability company by convincing them that they should settle with our injured client. We have also obtained recoveries for clients when a dog or dogs jumped on them and pushed them to the ground, causing injuries including surgery. Statistics for dog injuries are on the rise in California, and unfortunately, these types of injuries still occur.

After swapping out my shrink plastic charms last weekends some of the ladies in the group had questions about my process so I thought I'd just go ahead and post a tutorial on how I did it.
Here's what you'll need: Shrink Film ( I like Grafix brand for consistency of shrink) stamp, permanent ink, alcohol inks, dauber, hole punch and clear embossing powder or diamond glaze.
The first step is to ink the film. Just load up your dauber and go. The colors will really intensify when it shrinks so don't worry if it doesn't look like you've got a lot of color.
Next you need to flip your shrink-plastic over and stamp the image on it. Permanent inks and alcohol inks don't play well together so it's important not to stamp them on the same side. Again, remember that the color will intensify with shrinking. I am using a pale purple color here. I found it helpful to do a test one without the alcohol inks just to see what the stamp and the ink will look like shrunk.
Once this is dry, cut out the image and punch a hole. I always use my biggest hole punch since the hole will shrink with everything else.
Pop it into the oven at 250 (you can use your heat gun and a heat proof mat for this also.) If you're cooking in the oven use a brown piece of paper (like from a grocery bag) to cook on. This keeps it from sticking. Don't panic if it curls. They do that. Let it keep cooking--you'd be surprised 99% of the time they work themselves out flat. When it's done shrinking give it about 20 more seconds and then pull it out. Using a heating pad or metal spatula flatten it just a tiny bit more.
Once it's out and cooled you need to seal it. You can use diamond glaze (which I am too impatient to let dry) or clear embossing powder. I like to attach a little text to the back of my charms, so after cutting it out and securing it using just a tiny bit of glue, I coat the charm in clear embossing powder. You can do this by sprinkling it on, or using a clear embossing ink.
Heat it up--you can use your heat gun or just pop it back into your oven. And viola!
To give you some idea of the shrink ratio, here is a photo of the stamp in my hand and then shrunk charm in my hand.
So tiny and cute!

I've been asked to be a guest writer for this blog (or co-author. However you want to say it) but I've been putting off making a wordpress account for it.
Well, I was nervous. I wasn't sure how to write about offbeat things. And then I looked up the definition of offbeat, just to get a better picture of what the word means.
According to Princton.edu offbeat refers to someone who is "strikingly unconventional." My favorite definition, however, came from an unusual source (fitting, no?). A music education glossary at thebirthdaycd.com claims that offbeat refers to "an imaginary beat placed halfway between two beats."
I don't know about you kids, but I like the idea of being imaginary. It gives us all some leeway in being offbeat. I also like the idea of being placed between two beats (If we're going with my odd choice of words, then we can call these beats the normals). It's like we all got stuck in the cracks and are waiting for something else to happen in our lives. I think that pretty much categorizes the majority of offbeat youngsters today. Don't you? We're all waiting for something and trying like hell to be different. But then I got to thinking…what does "being different" really entail?
Being different, unconventional, interesting or what have you just comes naturally to some people. I don't want to brag, but I have never had to work at being different. As a child, I saw this as a bad thing because, honestly, being different doesn't score you a lot of friends. I was a HUGE nerd before it was cool to be a nerd–you know, back in the 90's when Carol Seaver was always the butt of jokes (she was my favorite, by the way). In the past decade or so it seems that our society has seen a rise of the nerd. Suddenly, it's a great thing to be. Be a nerd. Be a geek (they are different, but I'll go into that later). It's cool now.
Another thing I've noticed is how hard so many people try to be different or offbeat. I think it's because people have decided that's the cool place to be. And I admit, some of these people are my friends. But a lot of them come off as fakes. If you have to try to be offbeat, you probably aren't. And that's OK. Even the offbeat kids aren't really all that different. Like I said, being offbeat is popular now. If we're all doing something, does that make it different?
Well, that's a hard question to answer. Every human being, by definition, is different. None of us are exactly the same person (thanks to the nurture aspect of nature vs. nurture!). But human beings are social creatures (although I could argue about that some days) and so we flock to each other. We like having company. We love what's familiar. Even the crazy stuff that isn't conventional becomes familiar to us. We seek out like minded individuals. And that's ok.
Me? I'm a literary geek and a bit of a science nerd (although not by trade. It just interests me). I'm also becoming quite fond of the neo-victorian movement (trust me, we're studying this in my 19th century British Literature class so you'll hear a lot about neo-victorian/steampunk). These are the things I like! I like a lot of other stuff too and that's ok. I fit into a few stereotypes, maybe. But I'm not trying to be something I'm not. If you're reading this blog, I hope you're offbeat already and not trying to force yourself to become something. I hope you learn a few things and laugh (even when I'm making fun of you). I hope you understand that I'm not trying to claim you aren't different–you are! We all are! I'm just pointing out that, sometimes, we like to be different in the same way other people are different. Hah.
So…join us. Drink the kool-aid. Come on in! Let's be offbeat together.

The official website, online art gallery and print store for watercolor artist Lauren Heller.
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my work!
I love to share my emotions and ideas through my art pieces. You will find that I paint a wide variety of subjects and in various styles. The reason for that is because I find something beautiful in all things and depending on the day I might want to use a new medium to show you my perspective. Lately my passion is for watercolors because even after all these years of painting I still find it a challenge to control the colors and I enjoy making something beautiful from my mistakes.
I hope you enjoy browsing through my portfolio and hope that you find a piece that speaks to you. If you have any questions about my artwork, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for visiting!

Integrating palliative care into the public health system in Kenya and Malawi
The True Colours Trust is supporting the Kenya Hospice and Palliative Care Association (KEHPCA) and the Palliative Care Association of Malawi (PACAM) to integrate palliative care into the public health system in Kenya and Malawi respectively. The programme in Kenya has a national remit and is working through 11 of the country's county referral hospitals (former provincial/level 5 hospitals) while the programme in Malawi is district based, operating through the 13 district hospitals of the country's Southern Region. Work in both countries includes palliative care for both adults and children.
The approaches used in each country are distinct as the programme design is based upon the structure of the national public health system and specifically identified needs in each location. However, there are a number of similarities including the following:
- a focus on working with hospital management;
- the provision of training and mentorship in palliative care and pain management to all cadres of health professionals as well as community volunteers;
- establishing designated palliative care clinics within hospitals and improving systemic access to pain relief and other essential palliative care drugs.
The programmes grew out of the Waterloo Coalition: a time limited initiative to improve significantly access to palliative care in Malawi and Kenya between April 2011 and December 2012 (more information on the Waterloo Coalition can be found below). The Trustees were impressed by the scale of impact both projects had during the life of the Waterloo Coalition and by the significant increase in the number of patients able to access palliative care services as a result. The Trustees therefore decided to continue funding the programmes once the Waterloo Coalition came to an end.
The Evidence Centre, a UK based specialist in monitoring and evaluation, has provided KEHPCA and PACAM with training, mentorship and support in M & E throughout the programmes, helping them ensure that the programmes' successes and challenges are accurately recorded to inform practice and communication with government and other key stakeholders.
The work in Kenya and Malawi has continued to go from strength to strength. Figures from the latest reports indicate that in Kenya 10 out of the 11 county referral hospitals now have consistent access to morphine and in Malawi 11 of the 13 district hospitals also have consistent access to morphine (classed as 75% of the time in Malawi). When the projects began in September 2011 none of the hospitals had consistent access to morphine which is essential for effective pain relief. The statutory authorities should be commended for their respective support to KEHPCA and PACAM, their recognition of the needs of people with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses and the steps they have taken to ensure that these gains are sustainable. In Kenya the government released National Palliative Care Guidelines and an accompanying training curriculum, Cabinet Secretary of Health has pledged to include palliative care in the national budget and the government has increased significantly its orders of morphine powder to ensure supply matches demand.
The programmes are ongoing and Trustees have every expectation that further gains will continue to be made.
