Areas of Specialization
One of the travails of establishments operating in a foreign country is finding good legal services. Lawyers usually specialize in one particular type of law, or other related areas. A lawyer may generally work on immigration cases, while another one may be a tax specialist. Note that there are lawyers who only render advice to their clients, and not represent them to actual court litigation.
General areas of legal practice include: personal injury, criminal law, tax, employment and family law. It is best to choose a lawyer that specializes in one's legal concern and one that has a firm foundation in the laws of the host country.
Different Types of Lawyer
Foreign Legal Consultants may be classified as lawyers working for international law firms based in foreign countries. These attorneys may advise clients regarding the requirements and conditions of the host country's law, but they may or may not be licensed to practice law in the country where they are based. If court representation is needed, a licensed lawyer in the country where he works is required.
Solicitors and Barristers are specialized lawyers who may be practicing in foreign countries. Solicitors generally do not represent clients in court, but advise them, and may put together legal cases for barristers to take to court.
Notaries usually do the functions of attorneys, but depending on the country they practice, their job description may vary. Notaries may draft transfers of property titles and wills. In some countries, notaries are Ministry of Justice appointees and may act as administrators in estate settlements.
Where to Find a Lawyer
Searching for a lawyer in a foreign country is no longer too tasking. Overseas embassies and consulates of most countries have listings of local lawyers who have expressed their willingness to assist citizens of another country. For example, an American in Thailand may go to the U.S. embassy and he will be furnished with a copy of local lawyers willing to assist a U.S. citizen.
There are international bar associations with local chapters that could help foreigners with their legal problems. Most of these associations and similar organizations have standing agreements with accredited members in other countries.
Law firms maintain websites. This should make it doubly easy for anyone needing legal counsel to find a qualified lawyer through this mode.
Law schools have credible law professors who may be practicing or may know a practicing lawyer in his circle. If the legal advice and drafts are needed, senior law students could handle these requirements.
Surely local contacts could refer qualified lawyers to meet one's legal requisites.

8 reasons you should be more like Inigo Montoya at work
The swashbuckling avenger from 'The Princess Bride' has eight attributes you'd want in your next employee, says a top exec at Glassdoor. See what those traits are, swordsmanship aside.
What's most exciting about revisiting favorite books and movies is finding a new lesson, usually related to something new in my life.
I had a chance to re-view "The Princess Bride" and I got to thinking about the character Inigo Montoya. You know, the swordsman looking for revenge and repeating his catch phrase over and over: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die."
About a year ago I joined Glassdoor as director of corporate and employer communications, and I spend a lot of time thinking about recruiting, employer branding and all things HR. That and my encounter with "The Princess Bride" and Inigo got me thinking about what a great employee he'd make.
I have eight great reasons I would hire Inigo tomorrow (if I needed a swordsman on my staff). First, for those of you who do not remember Inigo, or the Princess Bride, let's catch up:
Before you read on, a word of caution: The following article contains spoilers. If you have not seen the movie, please stop reading now and go watch it.
Here are eight reasons Inigo Montoya is the perfect employee:
1. He puts co-workers at ease in a tough situation.
- Situation: Inigo and Fezzik work for Vizzini, who is not a nice man. One day, after they've kidnapped Princess Buttercup, things get a little tense as they make their getaway. Vizzini yells at Inigo and Fezzik without good cause, and Fezzik is distraught.
- Inigo's response: Recognizing Fezzik's reaction, Inigo plays the rhyming game with Fezzik, thus taking his mind off the unpleasant situation.
- How does this make Inigo a good employee, and what can we learn? A good employee recognizes the needs of other team members and does what he can to fix a situation.
2. He isn't afraid to ask hard/unpopular questions.
- Situation: At one point during their sea journey, Inigo notices a boat following them. He knows that asking whether they're being followed will upset Vizzini.
- Inigo's response: He asks anyway: "You are sure nobody's followed us?" Vizzini gets upset, as predicted, saying, "As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally and, in all other ways, inconceivable."
- Inigo's lesson: Inigo is trying to do his job well and help them make a clean getaway. He knows someone is following them. He also knows this will upset Vizzini, but Inigo—being a good employee—doesn't hesitate to ask the tough question.
3. He sets goals.
- Situation: Inigo explains that when he was a boy he saw his father "slaughtered by a six-fingered man." Inigo tried to avenge his death at the time but lacked the skills. It was that moment that set his lifelong quest in motion.
- Inigo's response: " I was 11 years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say: 'Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.'"
- Inigo's lesson: When you have a goal, stick to it; the payoff will mean that much more. Sure, your quest may not be to avenge a loved one, but the lesson stands strong.
4. He is a master at his craft.
- Situation: Did you ever meet someone who is just great at what they do, a pure master of a craft? That's Inigo, a master at his craft; no one knows swordsmanship like Inigo-no one.* In his famous swordfight with the Man in Black, the two discuss his motivation and his craft. Inigo is asked, "You've done nothing but study swordplay?"
- Inigo's response: Inigo's response says a lot about who he is, "More pursue than study lately. You see, I cannot find him; it's been 20 years now, and I'm starting to lose confidence. I just work for Vizzini to pay the bills. There's not a lot of money in revenge."
- Inigo's lesson: Simply, Inigo has a goal, so he has mastered his craft to achieve that goal.
* Actually, the Man in Black might be a better swordsman.
5. He doesn't always take the easy path.
- Situation: In the same swordfight, things are not going well for Inigo, so he says, "I admit it; you are better than I am." The Man in Black replies, "Then why are you smiling?"
- Inigo's response: "Because I know something you don't know," says Inigo. "And what is that?" asks the Man in Black. "I… am not left-handed…"
- Inigo's lesson: The premise is that Inigo is so good that he takes on The Man in Black left-handedly. Sometimes, the easy path is not the best path for continuing to improve. Inigo knows that, so he challenges himself accordingly.
6. He speaks up, even in telling the boss he's wrong.
- Situation: Vizzini has a catch phrase, "Inconceivable!" He says it over and over again, often mixed with other words for emphasis. There comes a point where Inigo has had enough and calls him on it.
- Inigo's response: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
- Inigo's lesson: A good employee speaks up when a problem arises or a co-worker is getting it wrong, regardless of the risk.
7. He's trustworthy.
- Situation: After escaping with the kidnapped Princess Buttercup, the three encounter the "Cliffs of Insanity," where it becomes obvious that the Man in Black is indeed following them. Fezzik and Vizzini push on and leave Inigo to fight the Man in Black. Inigo waits at the top of the cliff and, growing impatient, asks him to hurry up. "If you're in such a hurry," says the Man in Black, "you could lower a rope or a tree branch or find something useful to do."
- Inigo's response: "I could do that. I have some rope up here, but I do not think you would accept my help, since I am only waiting around to kill you."
- Inigo's lesson: Inigo could have lied, but he takes pride in his integrity, so he stays true to his values. He answers with truth and continues to wait. An honest employee is a must; with honesty comes trust.
8. He admits what he doesn't know.
- Situation: The end of the film shows Inigo aglow with the realization that he has achieved his goal: He has killed the six-fingered man. He then realizes he doesn't know what to do from now on.
- Inigo's response: " You know, it's strange: I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life."
- Inigo's lesson: A good employee admits what they do not know. Not knowing is not a fault; not knowing, and admitting it, means you're willing to learn and grow.
A friend pointed out that this list of eight is just the beginning, that there are many more lessons we can learn from Inigo. If you see or know of more, please share them in the comments section.

Attorney Profile
Top Rated Intellectual Property Litigation Attorney in Dallas, TX
Dallas, TX 75201-7965
- Intellectual Property Litigation (30%),
- Business Litigation (50%),
- Personal Injury - General: Plaintiff (20%)
Andrew Howard utilizes his technical background when practicing business, intellectual property, and personal injury litigation.

Mr. Howard brings that breadth of experience to bear for his clients in a cost-effective and technologically forward-leaning manner with the goal of early resolution.

About Andrew Howard
Admitted: 2007, Texas
Scholarly Lectures/Writings:
- The Patent Trial and Appeal Board recently held that state universities are immune from inter partes review (IPR) proceedings (and presumably other patent office proceedings) due to sovereign immunity. This means that the validity patents owned by state institutions cannot be challenged at the patent office after issuance. This holding could increase the value of intellectual property from state institutions and be used as leverage in licensing negotiations. The session will include case studies of how this IPR immunity for public universities affects licensing negotiations or aids marketing efforts, Moderator, IPR Immunity for Public Universities: Leveraging in Licensing Negotiations, 2018
- As with any new law, it will take some careful examination to determine just how DTSA can be applied optimally by university TTOs and other innovation-driven organizations. What is clear, however, is that trade secrets – now more than ever – must be considered an important element of your overall IP strategy. That's why Technology Transfer Tactics has partnered with intellectual property attorney Andrew M. Howard of Shore, Chan, DePumpo, LLC, to present this timely webinar. Please join us on Wednesday for a detailed look at the new law's provisions, and how your university can best apply DTSA to protect your valuable IP. Here's a quick look at the agenda: Legislative history and purpose of the DTSA What is a "trade secret" under the DTSA? What constitutes "misappropriation" under the DTSA? Can you obtain a seizure of trade secrets, an injunction, and/or damages? How does the DTSA affect different university constituents, including faculty, students, technology transfer offices, incubated companies, and joint ventures/sponsors? What outreach and education is needed to ensure faculty and others involved in research commercialization don't inadvertently weaken trade secret protection? How to protect trade secrets when key faculty and staff exit Differences between the DTSA and UTSA Procedural aspects of the DTSA Statute of Limitations, jurisdiction, and territorial reach, Speaker, Understanding and Applying the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, 2016
- Legal analysts predict the use of a sovereign immunity defense against inter partes patent challenges will become a reliable strategy for state universities and research institutions -- and recent cases appear to support that view. Having the option in their back pocket also opens up the potential for state universities to more easily market their IP to risk-averse licensees, as well as demand a premium when it comes to negotiating terms and royalties. The University of Florida has led the way by recently using the sovereign immunity defense to successfully end an inter partes challenge, and the University of Maryland soon followed with more to come. But as with most aspects of patent law, it's not a simple proposition. Timing of your response, joint inventorship, IP ownership entity, and prior legal filings can all impact your defense, and one mistake can mean a waiver of sovereign immunity., Speaker, Sovereign Immunity as Inter Partes Defense: Legal Guidance and Analysis of Impact on Licensing, 2017

YOLKINThu 05 2018 | Adaya
Via JustOpenedLondon
Yolkin is a new Asian inspired ice cream shop in Chinatown, selling macaron ice cream sandwiches.
This is the first permanent Yolkin site for owner Sammie Le and we think it will become a must-visit Chinatown hot spot, along with these other top restaurants in Chinatown.
The Spot:
This new shop on Rupert Street, decorated in a palette of white, yellow and grey, is close to the site of the Street Food Union Market where Sammie first traded.
The Food:
It's all about macaron ice cream sandwiches. The inspiration for the shop came about after Sammie was looking for a use for the yolks leftover from making macarons and she discovered egg custard ice cream.
Sammie was born in Hong Kong yet grew up in south London and flavours are inspired by the British comfort food of her childhood alongside Asian influences; think chocolate, banoffee and early grey with lychee, Hong Kong milk tea and black sesame.
The Drinks:
The good news is that those ice creams are also available as milkshakes…
In a Nutshell:
The macaron sandwich is a completely new concept for Chinatown and, we think, for London. Watch out Instagram, there's a new dessert in town…

I turn down the barista's suggestion. "The usual?"
She helps me survey the teas for a caffeine free option.
Conversation leads to mentioning why I am not and will not be getting my usual "coffee for here and a refill".
The manager steps from the little office desk to the counter to enter the conversation.
"Did I just overhear that you're giving up caffeine for Lent?" "Yeah! It is true." "Good luck," she says with a tinge of sarcasm.
As she walks away she says with a wry smile, "I gave up Catholicism!"
I walk away laughingly thinking,
"She thinks I'm Catholic."

Howard Turns 55 Years Old
Howard started off the show noting that today was his 55th birthday - and laughed that Gary was put under a lot of pressure to book celebrity chef Bobby Flay for a birthday show.
Howard said Gary should've booked Bobby's hot wife instead, and Gary replied that Bobby's rep actually offered to bring her in as well. Gary apologized to Sirius XM VP Scott Greenstein, who really wanted Bobby to promote his new show on Sirius Stars, saying he at least got the show mentioned on-air.

The City of Delta is holding the line on electric, water, sewer and trash rates for 2016. The rates are built into the draft budget currently being reviewed by the city council.
An allocation of $500,000 from the municipal, light and power fund is being set aside for implementation of the broadband project. Costs for Phase 1 buildout in the City of Delta are estimated at $1,845,462, but city staff has identified some potentially significant savings. In addition, Region 10 has applied for another grant, and the county commissioners have promised funds to help each municipality within Delta County build the new routes.
Transfers from the other utility funds support the golf course -- $180,000 from sewer, $50,000 from water and $150,000 from refuse.
While play is up at Devil's Thumb, the cost of food and beverage service exceeded estimates and an additional transfer of $30,000 from the water fund will be required in 2015. The city had hoped to draw non-golfers for lunch or dinner at the grill, but the location proved "too remote to create volume."
Other budgeted items for 2016 include:
• The installation of outdoor fitness equipment at Confluence Park, in addition to repairs to the trails and pavilions and completion of the handicap fishing peninsula.
• Tennis court repairs at Cleland Park. The city is pursuing a GOCO grant to assist with the cost.
• City hall renovations. The city has received a DOLA grant to remodel city hall with an eye on energy efficiency, handicap accessibility (including an elevator) and potential consolidation of the police department into the building.
• Animal shelter expansion, in partnership with CAWS.
• Pictometry project, in partnership with Delta County. The city is looking for new aerial photography which shows the completed Confluence Drive.
• Economic development, in partnership with Delta County Economic Development, Region 10 and the Department of Local Affairs. A feasibility study is currently underway for two potential projects in Delta County. The city has set aside $30,000 to pursue opportunities.
• City staff will receive a 2 percent salary increase after two years of no across-the-board adjustments. The cost-of-living increase was approved after council learned sales tax collections are holding steady. At a September work session, finance director Tod DeZeeuw reported sales tax is currently up 3.48 percent over last year.
City council reviewed the draft budget Tuesday night and will take formal action in November.

It was during the thanksgiving service of her wedding that Ms Eva Boakye felt a sudden stiffness in her neck and an excruciating headache.
Little did she know that the encounter she was having was stroke.
She only found out later at the hospital that she had suffered a stroke.
Narrating her story, Ms Boakye, who is currently the National Stroke Survivors Ambassador said: "It happened during the thanksgiving service for my wedding.
I felt stiffness in my neck and a severe headache.
I couldn't speak or do anything.
"I woke up the following day in the hospital to realise that the left side of my body was affected with a stroke.
Ghana News Headlines
For latest news in Ghana, visit Graphic Online news headlines page Ghana news page
It was the darkest moment in my life.
This condition has separated my husband from me and my family as well."
Ms Boakye, who holds a Certificate in Secretariatship obtained from the Government Secretariat Institute in Accra, is championing the adoption and the implementation of the Global Stroke Bill of Rights and the prevention of stroke in Ghana.
She is advocating that "We should all join hands to fight stroke in Ghana" and opines, "There is hope for recovery I believe if we act 'FAST'"
Warning signs
FAST is actually an acronym for the telltale signs of stroke knocking at the door, although the symptoms of stroke show so suddenly that most of the times, there isn't enough room left for a warning.
The letter 'F' is for a drooping face and experts warn that the moment a droop or an uneven smile is seen on a person's face, it is a warning sign of stroke.
A numbness in the arms or a little weakness is most likely a warning sign of stroke, experts believe and caution; "In case you feel unsure of the warning sign, ask the person to raise his or her arms. If the arms drop down or aren't steady when raised, it is a warning sign of stroke.
Another indicator is a slur in speech.
If a person suddenly finds it difficult to speak, it is a warning sign of stroke.
The last letter 'T' stands for time. "If a person is having any of the above symptoms or all of them, you need to act immediately and take the necessary steps such as call your doctor and for an ambulance," the experts urge.
Some other symptoms of stroke include troubles in vision in both eyes, numbness in limbs on one side of the body, unexplained fatigue, experiencing difficulty while walking, feeling confused or finding trouble in understanding other people, trouble in seeing with one or both eyes, severe headache that comes for no reason and dizziness.
Stroke occurs when there is an attack on the brain
Toll of stroke
Unlike Ms Boakye, however, it is not everyone who is attacked by stroke also known as brain attack, that survives.
According to the Stroke Association Support Network – Ghana, stroke is one of Ghana's biggest killers and a leading cause of disability.
It adds that one in six people will have a stroke in their lifetime, while according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), and other leading stroke experts, stroke claims 6.2 million lives each year.
An estimated 17.3 million people died from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in 2008, representing 30 per cent of all global deaths.
Of these deaths, an estimated 7.3 million were due to coronary heart disease and 6.2 million were due to stroke, the WHO says.
Experts say that stroke kills more people each year than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria put together.
Available statistics indicate that in 2008, AIDS-related deaths totalled 2.0 million (1.7 million – 2.4 million); 1.8 million people died from TB in 2008, including 500,000 people with HIV; and there were 247 million cases of malaria in 2006, causing nearly one million deaths, mostly among African children.
World Stroke Day
It is to call attention to the around 80 million people living in the world today who have experienced a stroke and the over 50 million survivors who live with some form of permanent disability as a result that World Stroke Day is marked on October 29, every year.
The theme for this year's commemoration was, "Up Again After Stroke: Support for life after stroke," to focus on offering support to stroke survivors and raising awareness of the basic needs of stroke survivors and their caregivers.
According to the organisers, World Stroke Organisation, the provision of basic needs was required in order to provide the best possible quality of life for stroke survivors.
Stroke or brain attack occurs when the blood flow to the brain stops.
A person suffering from a stroke needs to be dealt with by taking quick and timely action.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, it was important to get emergency help within an hour of a stroke attack in order to prevent long-term disability or death from the condition.
"While for many, life after stroke won't be quite the same, with the right care and support, living a meaningful life is still possible.
As millions of stroke survivors show us every day, it is possible to get #UpAgainAfterStroke.
"While the impact of stroke will be different for everyone, on World Stroke Day on October 29, 2018, we want to focus the world's attention on what unites stroke survivors and caregivers, namely their resilience and capacity to build on the things that stroke can't take away; their determination to keep going on the recovery journey," they stated.
Ms Eva Boakye, Ghana's Stroke Ambassador
Ghana's situation
Marking the day in Ghana last Monday, the Deputy Programmes Manager for the Non Communicable Diseases Control Programme of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Afua Commey, said: "We do studies on patients who come and for most of them, being tested in the hospital is the first time they are checking their blood pressure and at that time, they realise they have hypertension and they have gone on to develop the stroke."
She expressed worry that 50 to 70 per cent of Ghanaians had never checked their blood pressure before, although it provided easy signals that one was vulnerable to stroke.
"High blood pressure does not have any symptoms. You wouldn't know until you check. Before you realise, the blood pressure gets out of hand and they develop stroke," Dr Commey said, encouraging the public to do routine medical check-ups to know their blood pressure levels.
Meanwhile, the neurologist in charge of the Stroke Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Dr Fred Stephen Sarfo, last year in an interview with the Daily Graphic stated that the hospital received about 1,000 cases of stroke every year, and that the disease was the leading cause of deaths among adults at the hospital.
In Ghana, several studies have also confirmed an increasing stroke burden, with one month in-hospital case fatality as high as 41–43 per cent.
In addition, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that stroke is the fourth cause of mortality in Ghana.
Global status
Globally, about 16 million new cases of stroke and 62 million stroke survivors were estimated in 2005, with deaths from stroke accounting for 9.7 per cent of all global deaths, and this is expected to increase to over 23 million new stroke cases and 7.8 million stroke deaths by 2030 in the absence of significant global public health response.
Furthermore, 483,000 new stroke cases among people aged 15 years or more were estimated in Africa in 2009, equivalent to 81.2 (13.2–94.9)/100,000 person years. Also, a total of 1.89 million stroke survivors among people aged 15 years or more were estimated in Africa in 2009, with a prevalence of 317.3 (314.0–748.2)/100000 population.
Comparable figures for the year 2013 based on the same rates would amount to 535,000 (87.0–625.3) new stroke cases and 2.09 million (2.06–4.93) stroke survivors, suggesting an increase of 10.8 per cent and 9.6 per cent of incident stroke cases and stroke survivors respectively, attributable to population growth and ageing between 2009 and 2013.
Former Black Stars striker Junior Agogo spoke about how stroke had impacted his life when he appeared on BBC in London with his mother in October last year
What is stroke?
Stroke is a "brain attack" that cuts off vital supplies of blood and oxygen to the brain. A stroke happens when the blood supply to parts of the brain is cut off.
Over 80 per cent of strokes happen because of a blockage in an artery.
A cerebral thrombosis – when a blood clot forms in a main artery leading to the brain or a cerebral embolism – when a blood clot, or sometimes a piece of fatty debris from another part of the body is carried in the bloodstream to the brain.
A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain breaks, leaking blood into or around the brain.
Hemorrhagic strokes account for about 15 per cent of all strokes, yet are responsible for more than 30 per cent of all stroke deaths.
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the most common type of hemorrhagic stroke.
It occurs when a blood vessel inside the brain ruptures, and leaks blood into surrounding brain tissue.
While an ICH causes blood to leak into the brain itself, a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) occurs when blood spills into the space surrounding the brain.

Q: "We are moving our son from his crib with its vinyl covered mattress to a twin bed within the next month. He was recently toilet trained and we guess he may have a few accidents yet in the next year. Is this mattress cover the best choice for us? The new mattress is 15 inches high." Thanks. Susan
Answer: I do recommend this mattress cover. To make your life easier, I suggest you buy at least two covers. That way if he does have an accident during the night, you can change the bed then, if he wakes up, or the next morning and have the bed ready for his afternoon nap. These mattress covers are comfortable to sleep on, too. In the days when my sons were young, the only options were a plastic mattress cover which was either hot or cold unless you topped it with a mattress pad. I recall having quite a collection of mattress pads and sheets.
The Rest-Guard covers are virtually identical to Protect-A-Bed covers. They are hot water washable and dryable on low or line dry. My grandkids find them quite comfortable since they are cotton and polyester and absorbent. They keep dust mites in the mattress, too. We also sell total mattress encasements in all sizes and heights.
Thanks for your question.
Sincerely, Barbara

Based on our tower series of kiosks we now supply a psor Xbox tower with one or more Playstations or X-Boxes as required.

Learn concerning the lives and traditions of indigenous tribes at the Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center and Natural Area. In their function they are going to each have a recreation that they want to do tonight and might want to comfort others to do the same exercise with them. Unfortunately, many cities pit fireplace and security towards park and recreation packages by way of funding priorities. If you're smaller or nervous concerning the weight, consider both a dearer one (usually a lot lighter), or one with a low middle of gravity (hub motors within the wheels). The U. S Army Corps of Engineers is the Nation's main provider of outdoor recreation. Like campers and recreational autos, journey trailers can have many of the comforts of dwelling – a bed, a kitchen, a dwelling area, and a bathroom.
If you do not learn what you'll want to learn about recreational autos before you buy you may create main problems for yourself. And I say this as a result of I professionally conduct social science analysis for recreation companies, and they're usually shocked about some issues that come up. The left fork takes you downhill and across the outlet stream over a sequence of rocks, just below the granite dam, and comes out of the woods near the seashore and picnic area.

If you are searching for the entire creature comforts of residence whereas on the road, the recreational motorhome is perhaps the best choice for you. Support of community recreation proams needs to be by means of tax funds beneath some dpartment of the local authorities.

text: Don't play billiards with calls for new states: Amar Moves to create six more states got a boost when the National Federation for New States held its first meeting in Lucknow on Monday. lucknow Updated: Jun 14, 2010 23:37 IST HT Correspondent Hindustan Times Moves to create six more states got a boost when the National Federation for New States held its first meeting in Lucknow on Monday. The federation blamed the Centre and respective state governments for their policy of "managing by postponement" of the demand for new states.The states demanded by the federation are Telangana (in Andhra Pradesh), Vidarbha (Maharashtra), Bundelkhand (Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh), Harit Pradesh and Purvanchal (UP) and Gorkhaland (West Bengal).The federation unanimously elected expelled Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh as its chairman in the presence of convener Raja Bundela of the Bundelkhand Mukti Morcha and co-convener P. Nirup Reddy of the Telangana Vikas Kendra. Though Bundela said the federation would struggle for creation of new states without indulging in violence, Amar Singh warned of a "self-propelled public movement if the Centre and state governments dilly-dally on the issue"."Stop playing billiards and play football. Instead of the indirect approach like in billiards, the governments should kick and score goals like in football," Amar Singh said. His statement suggested that the respective governments should be direct in their approach towards statehood for the six regions. The federation is to hold its next meeting in Darjeeling at month-end. The federation, earlier known as the National Federation of Smaller States, went defunct after the creation of Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. First Published: Jun 14, 2010 23:36 IST

It goes without saying that cars have become vastly more complex machines as a result of the technological revolution of the last decade. Today, advances in car design and engineering are happening at an extraordinary rate, with groundbreaking, beneficial changes to cars often becoming out of date and obsolete within a year. For all the many benefits motorists get from this situation, it's important to remain mindful of the need to always be able to correctly service and repair vehicles. This is one of the most important aspects covered by our award winning motor trade recruitment services.
The diverse nature of engineering and mechanics across different makes and models of cars means it can no longer be said that there is an "across the board" standard basics for car functions and specifications. Identifying the cause of a current problem or recognizing when an issue is going to develop requires a great deal more diagnostic testing than has ever previously been the case in the world of car servicing. As a consequence of this, those with the training, qualification and ability to use car diagnostic equipment are in considerable demand.
As recently as twenty years ago it would have been unlikely to find computer equipment in a garage workshop. In the present day the reverse is true. Not only is technology always present, but in most businesses it's considered to be the single most valuable repair tool. Whereas once a mechanic could be trusted to identify and address issues, in this day and age it is simply impossible to do this, no matter how talented the mechanic, without obtaining and understanding diagnostic data from the car itself.
Our automotive recruitment services have always been at the forefront of bringing the best to the industry. As a consequence, we anticipated the growth in demand for vehicle diagnostic technicians at a very early stage, which lead to us adapting our services to accommodate an understanding of the requirements. We're very proud to be recognised for the delivery of outstanding services in recruitment for vehicle diagnostic technicians.

Popular American musician, singer and songwriter Beck is busy preparing for the release of his new album and in addition to that, the 'Lost Cause' singer has recorded 'Love' – a John Lennon cover – for the upcoming compilation album of different artists performing their favorite songs.
'Love' was recorded by Lennon for his 'John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band' album, which was released in 1970 and the only two musicians on the recording were Lennon himself on vocals and acoustic guitar and producer Phil Spector, who played the piano. The song was first covered in 1971 by The Letterman, the 60s pop group and the second artist to cover it was Barbra Streisand – also in 1971 – for her 'Barbra Joan Streisand' album.
The 'Where It's At' singer is scheduled to release his upcoming record in February 2014 and the album was partly recorded at the Third Man Records studio – which is owned by Jack White – in Nashville.
'Sweetheart 2014' album will be released on Valentine's Day 2014 and here is the official tracklisting:
Jim James ' 'Turn Your Lights Down Low' (Bob Marley cover)
Vampire Weekend ' 'Con Te Partirò' (Inspired by the Andrea Bocelli recording)
Beck ' 'Love' (John Lennon cover)

The conclusion of the first installment in my new autobiographical-comedic-prose series "The Epic Legends" nears its conclusion. I was in Atlanta. I had won the rights to the bed after a day that was both triumphal and trying. As a 15-year-old me once remarked, it was a turning point. I was determined to stick it out, to deal with the mental hardship of the day, and the uncertainty of the next. My singing was done, my job, that is to say, completed. Now it was a personal voyage.
And now, Day 3, the final day of the Atlanta Saga.
I awoke to a foreign alarm clock, a loud, nasty thing I knew didn't belong to me. Four men packed into a one-bed hotel room was a typical scenario for this type of venture, I had always known. Still, the musk of three men, and one sasquatch in a single cramped room was not to be underestimated. Still in the hypnotic haze of my prescriptions I dragged my form into the shower, a shower I quickly discovered was broken.
Broken, and incapable of producing anything but boiling streams of lava. I believe laws of thermodynamics were broken in that liquid did indeed hit my flesh, and sear it. In any reasonable universe water of that temperature would never make it two feet without completely turning into steam.
Five minutes in, the situation looked grim. Fates seemed aligned against me. I was barely awake and already I was screaming in pain. Usually that doesn't happen until a few hours in! Showering at relativistic-speeds, I threw on my civilian garb and rushed down to the lobby, perhaps to talk to a friend, or maybe even my new lady-friend. Mostly, though, I was down for another omlette.
They were really good! Not as good as the watermelon soda, mind you, but damn good nonetheless. I settled into one of the many chairs in the lobby and ate my breakfast, knowing full-well that the day ahead of me was going to be a rough one. We were bound for Six Flags Amusement Park. The final "fun" moment of our great journey, and the location at which the judges of this particular competition would present the various awards.
After an uneventful waking hour, we boarded our buses one more time. I said my hellos to the girl to my right. Small talk was made.
"How'd you sleep?"
"Me too! God, I wish I had my medicine"
"I wish I didn't have my medicine…"
We talked about various things during the abnormally-long bus ride. Small things. Things you don't care about, but at the same time things you do care about. There was a connection, however slight, however threadbare, it was there.
Eventually our four-bus fleet arrived at the gates of Six Flags. The name almost inspires fear. At least for me it does, though that could be because of what happened within its gates. As if it were some unassailable stronghold of a mighty nation, six proud flags adorning the high parapets. I emerged with my group. Tony I'd known since childhood. Colin was a sleazy ladies' man, but fairly nice to me. Sergio was a yeti. When we got inside, almost immediately three of us spotted an old white wooden roller coaster. Something nearly ancient, but somehow still functional. I'd been on roller coasters twice before, and both of those occasions were marked by extreme profanity and mortal fear. I hate roller coasters. Whenever I go on one I say to the people who drag me on it, with their promises of "Come on, it'll be fun!" that they are filthy, filthy liars. I've invoked various people's mothers in unkind ways. It is never pretty. Did you know they have microphones on those rollercoasters? They do. That's why I almost got thrown out of Busch Gardens in Williamsburg after screaming "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK" from beginning to end.
They apparently don't like those screams. "Woo" is fine. "Aah!" is fine. "Fuuuuck!" is not fine. Protip.
I was not one of the people who saw the roller coaster. In fact, I pretended not to see it. I pretended it did not exist. Nonetheless, I was once more dragged onto one of these fear-engines. As I neared the entry, hearing the screams and seeing the dazed expressions of the adrenaline-freaks who were ahead of us filled me with trepidation. At one point I believe I had to be restrained, due to my attempt to flee.
In any case I boarded the coaster. I was fastened in a seat. Locks were locked. My fate was set. Now, unlike the previous roller coaster I had been on, This one was not modern, the drops were shorter and shallower, however, due to its wooden structure, it was rickety. You could feel vibrations. As I accelerated past what I percieved to be the speed of sound, I soon realized a very intelligent design function of roller coasters. The G-Forces prevent you from projectile-vomiting. That omlette tried, but my dear friend gravity saved my breakfast, and any number of consequences.
Harrowed by my close-call with high-velocity hurling, I vowed once again, with full fucking fury of "fuck" that I would not go on one of those fucking death machines again. I would wait outside them while the others tried them. I would sit, and wait.
Soon, these erstwhile friends found some sort of death-tower that simulates freefall and near-death. I could not see the appeal in such an invention and had suspicions that much like Fanta, it found its origins in Nazi Germany. They tried, unsuccessfully to recruit me into their death cult, and ride this contraption. I waited outside. And I waited. And I waited more. I saw group after group take the ride, and group after group emerge. I did not, however, see my friends emerge. There was no blood evident at the scene so I came to another conclusion. The proper conclusion.
I had been ditched! And I was out of money! With three hours left to kill! And possibly three people, I wasn't really sure, but I was pissed off! I walked sheepishly around this foreign amusement park, statues of superheroes regarded me with disdain. I asked anyone that I recognized whether they'd seen my cohorts. Some of them had, and would point me in a direction where I would inevitably find nothing. Time passed.
My anger turned to regret. I suddenly thought there wasn't anything to conquer here, no metaphorical mountain, no mental barriers to be shattered. I felt like an idiot. Then I came upon a couple of girls from our choral group. They recognized me and allowed me to travel along with them. I regaled them with stories not unlike this one, and they enjoyed them. Suddenly my regret wasn't as profound. I was performing, as it were. Acting the part of a contented youth. I was far from it, but for a while it didn't seem that out of reach.
Luckily as they had no interest in roller coasters or Nazi death machines, we were able to walk around in peace and do, well, not much of anything. Just enough to pass the time. Mostly I told stories and they'd listen, interject. I figured out I was pretty good at this whole storytelling thing. I had fun. I was lonely, too. Of course as every young man of 15 who's never had any sort of romantic connection with their preferred partner will tell you, its a really shitty feeling. There are worse, I'd learn, but again, that's a story for another day.
The hour of the assembly came. We made our way to the picnic area where the array of competing choirs would soon arrange for the ceremony. There was food, thankfully. Less thankfully the food was terrible, hot dogs and baked beans, possibly two of my least-favorite dishes in all of existence. The lack of watermelon soda was noticeable, as it would be at every single meal to follow. My god that shit was good.
The treacherous Colin returned with Tony and Cousin It, apologizing for missing me. I could tell Colin was bullshitting me. It was the end of my friendship with him. Tony apologized, Tony's a good man. Tony's good people. I talked with a number of people. Casually, to one I mentioned my loneliness as they prattled on about their girlfriend or whoever it was. No good advice was given. No good advice really can be given, the whole idea is so foreign that you'll never really get it until you get it by nature. I ate the cheap, crappy food and awaited the ceremony.
We won a couple awards. Our women's choir won top prize in their category, the men's choir came in third. The mixed chorus was also third. I had no personal stake in it anyway, and was honestly glad to see it over. It meant I had only one last trial to endure. The journey home. I made sure to get my medication this time. One night of neurotic hell was more than enough for me to learn that lesson.
We had to walk an unreasonably long distance to get to our buses, buses that decided to park about a mile and a half away, at the farthest reaches of the farthest possible parking lot, which stood at the farthest end of the park. Climbing over the fence in the picnic area would have been a quicker journey.
Still, I was oddly contented. Maybe I knew what would happen next. Maybe I was just too tired to feel like crap. In any case we boarded the bus and another movie I hate started to play, this time it was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Luckily for me, the pretty young lady in the seat next to me who I'd been flirting with was not much of a fan either, and we proceeded to ruin the film for the objects of our mutual antipathy, Colin and his squeeze in the seats behind us.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 style.
After the movie ended, mercifully, they'd run out of drivel to show us, so it was lights out. Then something kind of spectacular happened. I sheepishly turned to the girl next to me, said "goodnight" and put my head against the window and the small pillow I'd brought with me. It was hard to sleep, the rumbling of the engine pulsed through my skull like a jackhammer, still, not to mention the noise. All of a sudden I heard her whisper to me.
"Hey, do you mind if I lean on you to get some sleep?"
"No! No of course not…"
And so she did. Not five minutes after that I felt a small kiss on my cheek. She wrapped her arms around me and went to sleep. And so did I. We stayed that way the entire night. And suddenly all that doubt, all that pessimism and loneliness and fear just drifted off. I'd won. The mountain was climbed, the barrier broken.
It was the best night's sleep I ever had.

So, the shortest month of the year (Black History Month) is over and we are headed to March with its occasional signs of Spring. Today was 63 degrees here and guess what -- snow is on the way tonight. Typical New England weather but it is completely indicative of how 2009 has been so far. The rollercoaster ride continues.
Anyhow, giving thanks for every day of life. I've got a chilled bottle of wine and some cheese. I've got my health and my family. So, I'm settling in for a nice, quiet weekend. Please enjoy Conscious Friday and the rest of your weekend.
One Love, Se'Lah

One Bag
Guys we are finally in India. We are all alive. And all of our bags are here (almost). When we got to the Delhi airport they had a sign that said "Ms. Jordyn Standage" so I talk to the guy. He said that one of my bags didn't make it. Honestly right then and there my heart sank, I knew it was my personal bag because Michael jinxed it saying that mine wouldn't show up because I had a seat to myself on the last flight. Surely mine didn't show up. So when we got to baggage claim and found out it was Andrew's guitar. HUGE sigh of relief then. *Wait first shout out to my Shaanti family I made it through the San Fran airport WITHOUT tripping! But I did take a picture where I tripped so that's super cool right? Hahaha.. geez that was so embarrassing!
We had to wait a few hours because our flight to Dharmsala was delayed but after we got on our little plane that i honestly didn't believe could get us there we met Jatinder and were on our way to Chamba. We got in late last night and I'm already in love. We are staying where the girls are staying they are just downstairs and we are right above them. Which is really cool because they have never had people stay here with them so apparently.
The girls were up here doing their morning stretches and I'm already in love, they are beautiful and so smart I can just tell we are going to have an amazing time for these four days we're here. I can't wait to start this adventure with these 9 amazing people I'm with right now!
I know my posts are usually longer but for right now all we have done is travel travel travel so I'll update you more later!
Xoxo Jordie

Blocked Expression
I have been reading so many wonderful blogs these past few days and I have noticed a theme - EXPRESSION!
The need to express who we are is so intense. Some of us are lucky to be comfortable with the medium of words so we write, speak or sing our hearts secrets.
But that isn't enough, a writer needs their writing to be read, a speaker needs to be heard and a singer needs to have an audience.
Expression needs validation. Expression needs someone else to be witness to our existence. If we cannot express who we are we create blocks.
Blocked expression is the cause of many dis-eases. The throat is the seat of the will. If we cannot express our heart's desire, we end up with throat infections and swollen glands.
Freedom to express who you are is God's will. When we are accepted and acknowledged for who we are, we are connecting with not only the other, but the Divine.
How is your throat today?
5 comments:
haha! My throat is good!! BUT my throat used to not be and I had glandular fever as a teenager! You are so right, since writing my blog it has unblocked a lot in my life xxReplyDelete
I find that repressed anger also creates throat problems. Until I found poetry as a release as a teenager, I was always getting throat infections. I think doctors should prescribe writing instead of pills xxReplyDelete
you know what! I went to a naturopath once who DID prescribe writing ( i was having anxiety attacks) only took me about 3 or 4 years to put this into practice!!!ReplyDelete
Spot on. After one really difficult day I realized I had not written a thing. Didn't have time to write. I took a piece of paper out and wrote 'thank you.' Unbelievable release. I still do that during the day. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Oh thank you Beth, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't write. My little girl has a throat infection, you have given me an idea of how to get her to express her heart. She can write down ten things she is thankful for and maybe this will get her to share her heart! :)ReplyDelete

Chelsea star Olivier Giroud clearly thinks he has gone up in the world, as he aimed what appeared to be a subtle swipe at his former side Arsenal after branding the Blues as England's most successful club over the last decade.
Giroud spent nearly six seasons with the Gunners, appearing 253 times and scoring 105 goals for the club. However, he ended his stay at the Emirates Stadium in January as he completed an £18m move to Chelsea, a deal that will keep him at the club for 18 months.
Since making the move, the 31-year-old has made eight appearances for Chelsea, netting one goal, which came against Hull City in a 4-0 win in the FA Cup in February.
The French international appears to have made a dig at Arsenal after claiming he has moved to England's most successful club of recent times.
According to Metro, the striker said: "I have come to the English club which has won most title over the last 10 years - that says everything. With Chelsea, I think I have surprised people."
Giroud has also recently spoken about how happy he is at his new club, but he is disappointed he hasn't scored more goals.
He said: "I am happy with my adaptation, the welcome I received, the relationship on the ground with my partners.
"But, that could have, it should have, been more goals. In terms of statistics, I am very attached to this, I remain stuck at one goal and three assists in five appearances. It is sure that it is not enough, but in time I will do it."

Wouldn't You Know It
These are the beautiful Christmas ornaments Two Hearts For Hope , an organization started by adoptive parents of children born in Kazakhstan. The money is paying for some wonderful playground equipment at a Children's Home in Almaty.
I ordered 4 on December 3rd. I knew I would be seeing Marie-Claude and Martin, Diane, and Loretta later in December for our 2nd annual Christmas outing to the pioneer village. Well, come on, wouldn't you know it, they didn't arrive in time for our outing. Nope. And they didn't arrive before the end of the Christmas/New Year's holidays. They arrived at my house on Wednesday, January 6th, 2010. I really shouldn't be surprised, nothing to do with adoptions from Kazakhstan seems to go on a time line I predict.
Here are some photos from our outing to Pioneer Village. In attendance were Sandy and Hector with Maggy, Diane with Ciera, Martin and Marie-Claude with Yerlan, Loretta with Alex and grandmama Aline, and ME. Carrie, Edwin and Aimee were greatly missed.
(Yerlan on his dad Martin's shoulder, Loretta holding Alex)
(Starting at the back, Hector, Maggy, Ciera, and Diane)
While we walked around, Maggy and Ciera decided they were tired and pretended to have a nap on the bench. So Alex decided to join the game and had a nap while sitting in the wagon.
We had a lovely morning at the village followed by a 'great' lunch at a McDonald's with an indoor playground. It is always wonderful to be with my fellow IA families. Diane, Marie-Claude and Martin, and I all had our files go to Kazakhstan about the same time last June. Waiting together is great. Just wish I was going to Karaganda too! I feel like a high school student complaining about my classes every time I do say that.
So Diane, Loretta, Martin and Marie-Claude I'll get the ornaments to you the next time I see you.
Wouldn't you know it! LOL
