Touch Rugby Tournament 2015
Tournament Sponsored by:
London Stock Exchange Group's Mixed Touch Rugby Tournament in partnership with the Rugby Football Union (RFU) at Allianz Park, took place on 17th June 2015.
The tournament hosted 20 teams, many coming from the financial sector, with all proceeds going to charity. The tournament supported the LSEG Foundation, which looks to fund significant endeavours and to make investments in the communities in which the Group operates and also helped contribute to All Schools, an RFU initiative to promote rugby and its values in secondary schools.
Touch is a non-contact form of the game, which means there is no tackling and no scrums or line-outs. Touch can be played in mixed teams of men and women; it appeals to sports enthusiasts and novices alike and is a great way of facilitating teamwork in an organisation.

Augmented Reality furniture: A 3D virtual product showcase
It's difficult to choose a regular chair. It's even harder to shop for a high-consideration technical purchase such as a specialized medical procedure chair with advanced options, moving parts and custom configurations. With a high-quality 3D rendering, the Augmented Reality furniture example featured in this AR product showcase app has the same level of detail as the actual chair – down to the grain of the leather. This experience recreates the real-life movement and capabilities of the chair in a way that's easy for buyers to control and understand. The buttons in the navigation mimic the real-life foot controls of the chair, building familiarity with the physical interaction.
How the AR product showcase works
• Use an iPad to recognize the trackable image
• Tap icons to control chair position
• Move closer to the chair to see real-size texture and detail
• Hot spots open additional specs and descriptions
Augmented Reality furniture and product demos
This Augmented Reality furniture product showcase displays a 3D product visualization using Augmented Reality, replacing the need to ship products for showrooms or live sales demonstrations. The VisualCommerce™ platform allows for buyers to design and configure products like virtual chairs, changing chair color or configuration, then viewing and interacting with them in 3D Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality. Augmented Reality Virtual product demos build buyer confidence and shorten sales cycles, saving on marketing and shipping costs.
What is VisualCommerce™?
VisualCommerce™ is a SaaS that makes entire 3D product inventories accessible and configurable within real-world environments for the ultimate product visualization experience. Using Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality views and advanced content management, VisualCommerce™ is a powerful sales tool designed to empower shoppers with design tools and assist high-consideration purchasing.

This was definitely one of the easiest things I've made so far. I commissioned this shirt for my friend's pirate outfit for Talk Like a Pirate Day, because he didn't have anything really "authentic". He was thrilled to have it, although I'm disappointed in the ribbon I used for the collar and cuff ties because most have torn off (quite easily, too). The pattern called for fabric ties, but good lord those were a pain in the… well, you know. ;)

Hello middle of the week, if you could just skip to the end, that would be awesome!
I've been trying to do a little for my gal's night each day. Monday i made 2 deserts, last night i made "toasted chickpeas" - not sure they are good enough to serve... And prepped for dinner today (enchilada turkey soup - sooooo love this thing) - 3/4 to 1.5 pounds of turkey browned, and 5 cans of stuff (beans, corn, enchilada sauce, beef broth etc) and you are good to go! Freezes awesome, makes a ton! I bring it with me on the plane for lunch at the client site for the week! (yup - i'm that gal as security!)
I'll make the soup (firey tofu curry soup) tonight, and re-heat in the crock pot on friday, and tomorrow i'll make the crab dip and then friday i just need to make the spaghetti squash and spinach fritters tomorrow! I also am making a hummus and red bean dip which i'll make tonight or thurs, i like them better after they sit for a smidge. I'm sure i'll find something else to whip up - it's what i do!
Water: done and done - 2 full 30 oz bottles of water and a bunch of tea
Track food: finished up this morning! And it was cause i was bad, ate out of the pan as i cleaned up the kitchen... luckily it was relatively good stuff - spicy coconut shrimp and quinoa cakes so it all worked out!
Stay in range: check!
Heart rate: i cranked it this morning! My elliptical has a "sprint 8: thing, 1 min 30 sec recovery with 30 sec sprints. I did it regular once, in reverse the second time - did the sprints during the min thirty sections, and then did a quad session. Check on that front!
Me time: i'm hoping for TKB tonight since i missed it monday, and hubby has a HH so hopefully he gives me a bit more of me time after the gym!
Extra exercise: TKB is the planets align!
I didn't get any yesterday, but i did putter around the house dusting and cleaning for the gal's on friday!
Goals for the week:
Stay on track and end the week with a loss!
Get in my water! Find a way to get more steps now that the cold weather has descended on Denver!

How long after tummy tuck before I can start strenuous exercise and weight lifting?
Exercise After Tummy Tuck
Doctor Answers 4
Every surgeon has a different approach to recovery restrictions.
As long as the recovery is proceeding smoothly, I allow my patients to do non-impact cardio (elliptical machine, bike [not spin!]) at 3 weeks, and then begin strenuous activity (light weight lifting, jogging) at 6 weeks. All restrictions are off at 8 weeks.
Talk to your surgeon to see the regime they recommend (and do follow it! We all do different things on the inside, and only your surgeon knows what is best for you!)
I would say, safely 6-8 weeks depending on exercises, your surgery, and your exercise tolerance preop. Always start with under 10 lbs and work up slowly. You should be walking regardless at 1 week!
Web reference: Http://www.beautybyjeneby.com
Every doctor is a bit different. But I recommend to my patients to avoid aerobic type activities for 3-4 weeks and heavy lifting or sit-ups for 6-8 weeks.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!

This is an HTML5 game - so you can play it on a desktop pc as well as on a mobile phone or tablet.
Find more awesome mobile games at mordskerlgames.com!
so many things wrong. first of all its impossible to go to the side unless ur rocket is completely horizontal. the upgrades are way too expensive for how much money you get each day. touching one thing barely ends the day. and its just the exact same thing as so many other games.
Bad game. I have played millions like this. It's a rip off. No visual upgrades, bad controls, etc. Late in the game it just stopped working. So, it was a big waste of my time. Oh, and the ads. Wow... Srsly? Get real. half star cause' i'm nice.
I hate having to provide a poor review for this game, but this game will not load on my system.
I'm using a windows 7 system and tried both firefox and internet explorer.
The loading screen and advertisements do load properly, but the loading bar doesn't seem to do anything.
Please try now - I think i have fixed the problem.
will not load, is there sumthing to make it play
Please try now - I think i have fixed the problem.

Below is a recipe for a vegan breakfast sandwich including tofu scramble and tempeh bacon. Personally I would opt to ditch the mushrooms and the gluten free bread, but that's because I view both as a major threat to a civilized way of life. Also it might spice things up to add a vegan cheese like Daiya.
You can find this recipe and many more easy vegan breakfast recipes at She Knows.
Makes 4 sandwiches
1 (16-ounce) container firm water-packed tofu, drained, pressed
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for brushing tomatoes
1 small onion, sliced
2 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons wheat-free soy sauce
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
Salt and pepper to taste
8 slices smoked tempeh bacon
8 slices gluten-free bread
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place tofu between two paper towels and press out the water. Heat olive oil in a saute pan and sauce onion and mushrooms for 3 minutes.
2. Crumble tofu in pan and add nutritional yeast, onion powder, turmeric, garlic and soy sauce. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Coat tomatoes with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
4. Crisp "bacon" in a pan. Divide two "bacon" strips on four slices of bread. Top with a tomato slice and some of the tofu scramble and remaining slice of bread.
Vegan banana bread

anonymous asked:
I can't get over how jongin looks at kyungsoo??? It's like he's the only person he looks at like that.
I know Nini looks at other too, BUT the way he looks at Soo is smth entirely different!! Soo could literally just be standing there doing nth, and Nini would still be staring at him. His eyes are a lot more intense and there's this little glint in them ;_; and if you look up "heart eyes" in the dictionary you'd find a pick of Nini's eyes when he's casting loving looks at Soo T__________T
^we know nini.. we know
^he gotta stare at his hyung so hard that he looks behind everyone else xD
^that time nini flirted with soo like crazy and got told off xD aka "kicked puppy love stares"
^totally normal bro stares
I have a tag for nini and his "heart eyes" here ->> (x)
But there's A LOT MORE under the cut
Yeah sure we can go for the obvious like "I love you" or "I will miss you" but what about real weird stuff like "Please accept the change, sir" or "Please play on, your music is lovely". Then there is the straight up nasty stuff like "I promise I won't kill you"

The hundreds of metal parts that would usually fit inside a large computer tower must exist within a comparatively narrow casing within your laptop computer, and this generates heat, which is sometimes so great that you can feel it through the bottom of the computer. If your laptop becomes too hot, take action to cool it down or risk damaging your computer.
The surest way to know if your laptop is overheating is if you place your hand underneath it and it feels uncomfortable to leave it there for more than a few seconds. Other indications that a problem exists with your laptop's temperature are more indirect. For example, your laptop is equipped with a fan to combat high temperatures, and if the noise of your fan is extremely loud, chances are your laptop is generating more heat than normal.
Initial Steps
If you feel excessive heat emanating from your laptop, the first thing you should do is exit out of any program or programs that use large amounts of computer memory. For example, if you have multiple Internet tabs or windows open, close all but those you're using actively. Other applications that use a lot of memory include Skype, Windows Live Messenger and iTunes. If your computer is still hot after closing programs, shut it down for 10 to 15 minutes, then restart it.
External Fan
If your laptop regularly overheats, its internal fan might not be enough to counteract the excess heat. External laptop fans are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and with many cooling capabilities -- and most are inexpensive. These fans are powered by plugging them into any of your laptop's USB serial ports, which means you won't need to carry a separate AC adapter or have to charge the accessory.
Habit Changes
Bad usage habits have as much to do with laptop overheating as faulty hardware or computer age. For example, if you make a habit of "hibernating" your laptop when you're not using it, try to shut it down completely more often, which gives its CPU a break from processing tasks. Additionally, close any programs you're not using and avoid running several programs at the same time if you can, which can overwork your processor.
Long-Term Effects
If your laptop overheats only occasionally, the worst fate you'll suffer is being unable to work with it on your lap. If overheating becomes a more chronic problem, however, it can interfere with the operation of your computer -- namely, the internal fan will become inadequate at cooling down your CPU. Your computer then shuts itself down to prevent permanent damage, often at bizarre, unpredictable times.

Lesson module
Note: You are currently viewing documentation for Moodle 2.1. Up-to-date documentation for the latest stable version is available here: Lesson module.
There are 2 basic Lesson page types that the student will see: question pages and content pages (formerly called "Branch Tables"). There are also several advanced navigational pages which can meet more specialized needs of the Teacher. The Lesson module was designed to be adaptive and to use a student's choices to create a self directed lesson.
The significant difference between a Lesson and other activity modules available in Moodle comes from its adaptive ability. With this tool, each choice the students makes can show a different teacher response/comment and send the student to a different page in the lesson. Thus with planning, the Lesson module can customize the presentation of content and questions to each student with no further action required by the teacher.

This replica combination flintlock dagger replica features a 11" embossed blade, faux wood grips and flintlock firing system. This non-firing version is accurately detailed and shows typical craftsmanship a great costume or conversation piece. Replicates the original gun in size, weight and appearance, and the parts function much like the original. However, parts cannot be interchanged or the replica gun made to fire ammunition. The flintlock mechanism was in main use for both military and civilian use for over 200 years. Not until the Reverend Alexander John Forsyth invented the rudimentary percussion cap system in 1807 did the flintlock system begin to decline in popularity.

Cyclones 7
Renegades 3
Tuesday, June 23, at Keyspan Park
Starter Brandon Moore was untouchable, pitching seven strong, four-hit shutout innings on "Baracklyn Cyclones" night at Keyspan Park.
The first 2,500 fans got President Obama bobblehead dolls (pictured), but everyone got to enjoy a laugher over the tough Hudson Valley Renegades.
The Clones got on the board in the bottom of first on a bases-loaded walk to Ralph Henriquez and a subsequent single by Luis Rivera.
The home team added another run in the second on a Matt Bouchard sac fly.
In the fifth, the Brooks put it out of reach thanks to a two-run double by Alexander Gregory and a two-out RBI single by hot-hitting John Servidio.
Juan Centano knocked in the final run in the seventh on a single.
All three Renegade runs were yielded by Cyclone reliever Wesley Wrenn.
The win put the Cyclones back on top of the McNamara Division by one game over Aberdeen and Hudson Valley. The Yankees are two games back.

New Roadless Rules Unveiled for National Forests in Colorado
A plan to manage some of Colorado's most prized national forest lands is being billed as a national model for how states and the federal government can work together even amid the rancorous political climate. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack joined Governor John Hickenlooper to unveil the state's final Roadless Rule yesterday. The plan would give some roadless forests more stringent protections than under the original 2001 Clinton Roadless Rule. But it also includes some controversial exemptions. From Rocky Mountain Community Radio sister station KUNC, Kirk Siegler reports.

Okay, it's not innovative or original.
Chalkboard paint. Kitchen wall. We've seen it a million times before.
But I'm in love just the same.
I wish I had something like this when my daughter was little! She loved to draw on the wall..so we gave in and framed a section and gave her a spot to draw on. When it was full, we'd take a picture and paint over it. The rest of my walls stayed clean! But I do believe chalk would have been so much easier! LOL

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Aurora O'NeillMaster Lord Thom of Trebond, youngest master of the Mithran Light in over a century, twin brother of Sir Alanna of Trebond and Olau, from Tamora Pierce's Fantasy series 'The Song of the Lioness'. The red glow surrounding him is his Magical Gift, which has been corrupted by another sorcerer. Yes, he is supposed to look that Tubercular, and the cracked lips/ bloody cuticles are intentional. He is 'Far hotter than any mortal could be and still live', and wasting away from the fever, and other things. For all you rabid Pierce Fans out there (I am one, too), I know it says somewhere that he has a beard, but it just didn't work. There is a passage describing Thom as wearing really bright clothing, but as to the orange pants, your guess is as good as mine. I guess that I just didn't want to put him in jeans.

Thierry Hazard
Thierry Hazard | |
Birth name | Thierry Gesteau |
Born | June 7, 1962 |
Origin | Compiègne, France |
Genres | Pop music |
Occupation(s) | Singer, songwriter |
Years active | 1983–1994 |
Thierry Hazard (born June 7, 1962), whose real name is Thierry Gesteau, is a French singer.
Hazard was born in Compiègne, France, and grew up in Sèvres.During the 1980s, he became the singer of the band GPS, an acronym of Garage Psychiatric Suburban [1] (the group's guitarist, Tom "Backerfix" Darnal, became Mano Negra's keyboardist). Hazard released his first solo single "Poupée psychédélique" in 1988 but it passed unnoticed. Two years after, he released "Le Jerk" which became a huge hit in summer 1990 (#2 in France). His first solo album Pop music was released in 1990 and had a great success thanks to the two titles mentioned above ("Poupée psychédélique" was re-released at the end of 1990, reaching #2 in France), but also with other songs which were much aired on radio such as "Les Brouillards de Londres", "Un Jour c'est oui, un Jour c'est non" and "Les Temps sont durs".[2] A cover of Michel Polnareff's song, "Tout, Tout, pour ma chérie", is also included on this album. In 1994, Hazard launched his second album entitled Où sont passés les Beatniks? with the singles "Julie est trop prude" and "Où sont passés les Beatniks?" but they didn't meet with success.

Take A Walk ...
All the worlds greatest cities are wonderful walking cities, and Paris is one of the best.
The 6th arrondisment, posh St.Germain-des-Pres, is my personal favorite. Take a walk down any of its leading streets and discover a treasure trove. Rue du cherche Midi, for example, hosts Poilane, one of Paris best bakeries, shoe stores galore.
Other high profile streets in the area: antique heaven on Rue Du Bac and Rue de Grenelle, home to my favorite clothing boutique, Chacock (expensive, but clothes that you will wear for many years).
Sept 22-27 2016…5 night contemporary Paris…
The Old and The New: iconic monuments are stars in the Paris sky
Suddenly Paris deserves to be seen as the most exciting destination in Europe.
SWT Tours Pulse of Paris tour agrees and offers an amazing selection of all that is new including the renovated Picasso Museum, the contemporary art museum in the Bois de Boulogne designed by Frank Gehry and a stunning concert hall.
In addition, our Pulse of Paris tour adds activities that brings your Paris experience to a new level. Every one, we believe, should experience a 3 star meal, nothing matches the service and caliber of the food offered by the best chefs in the world. We lunch at super star chef Alain Ducasse's Jules Verne restaurant at the Eiffel Tower. The special ambiance of this restaurant is matched by the views from the Eiffel Tower.
Luxury Paris…We might not be able to afford a $1500 room at the Ritz or Four Seasons in Paris but you will get a small taste of luxury with a spa treatment at the Four Seasons Hotel. Where else would you be offered a glass of champagne and dried fruits as you wait for your spa treatment. Just walking through the lobby can make you feel like an heiress.
The WOW factor:
…THE LVHM CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM in the Bois de Boulogne designed by Frank Gehry adds a spectacular glass clad modern vibe to the Paris landscape THE Picasso Museum …after 5 years of construction and renovation and much controversy in its administration, the museum reopened in October. Space will be doubled and house the largest selection of Picasso paintings in the world. Expect to be dazzled.
THE Picasso Museum
Day 1
Arrive in Paris, transfer on your own to our hotel, located in the prestigious 6th arrondissement. In our opinion, this is the best location in Paris, within walking distance of great restaurants, shopping, and museums (near Musee D'Orsay, a short bus ride to the Louvre or a short walk to several jewels of smaller museums).
Afternoon: SWT Tours creates an entirely original tour that gives you special insight into the Paris of today. We call our tour: THIS IS PARIS WALK-ABOUT
Within a small radius of a few blocks there are Paris' most legendary cafes, famous restaurants, upscale boutiques, an iconic church, a Louis Vuitton store, an Alain Ducasse chocolate boutique. a "secret" restaurant and more. We will share our special knowledge of these locations.
After our walk about, we will join discriminating Parisians at Café Bonaparte, the alternative bistro stop, to famous, pricey Café deux Magots and Café de Flor and enjoy an espresso, a glass of wine or perhaps their delicious onion soup.
Some of our stops on our Paris Walk-About Tour
Café deux Magots Paris most famous cafe
Emporio Armani, flagship store Paris
Day 2
Montmartre Moveable Feast a tour that combines a 3 course lunch at 3 different restaurants with a lively lecture on the fascinating history of the area where Van Gogh, Picasso and Toulouse Lautrec lived and worked. This lunch is an excellent way to try several restaurants, each featuring food from a different region of France, plus appropriate wines.
Montmartre Heavenly crepe dessert
Evening…Optional group dinner.
Day 3
John Baxter, an Australian, has lived in Paris for a couple of decades , He has written many books on Paris such as The Most Beautiful Walk in the World : a Pedestrian in Paris.
His latest just published, Paris After Dark. He does a few literary walks. Depending on his availability, we will do his St Germain tour that ends with a light lunch at his apartment. Sylvia Beach, the former proprietor of the famous book store, Shakespeare & Co. lived on the the fourth floor. John lives on the 6th.
The Louis Vuitton Foundation spectacular Frank Gehry designed contemporary art museum opens in Paris in the Bois de Boulogne. Ever since 1997 with the opening of Gehry's titanium clad structure in Bilbao, Spain. cities all over the world have commissioned Gehry to create their own dynamic structure. You can see Gehry's work in such diverse cities as Hong Kong and Annandale- on- Hudson, just a short drive from where I live in Hudson, New York.
LVMH Flaunts Its Billowing Gehry Trophy in Paris
Now it's Paris' turn and the museum ushers in a new Gehry design. Instead of titanium, Gehry uses glass to clad the Museum creating wonderful light.The structure has 11 galleries, a large auditorium, roof terraces for events and art installations.
Cruise on the River Seine…my favorite Paris tour. Glide by all of Paris' spectacular bridges and monuments from Notre Dame to the Musee D'Orsay.
End the day with a spa treatment at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel. Nothing in Paris, in my opinion, matches the splendor of the Four Seasons Hotel
Day 4
Morning … visit to the just reopened expamded Picasso Museum displaying the largest collection of Picasso paintings. Details to follow as the museum reopens the end of October 2014.
Lunch in the Marais
Day 5
Visit the Louvre to view the museum's most famous paintings. The Mona Lisa and Winged Victory, for example. Maximum 2 hour visit. You may want to return on your own.
I.M. Pei Pyramid Louvre Entrance
Galeries Lafayette is the perfect place for shopping. Pick up your 10% discount card and browse most of Paris' boutiques all in one place.
Lunch at Galeries Lafayette gourmet food hall just moved across the street from the main store. You will find an amazing array of Paris' best food outlets here chocolates, pastries, breads, meats. Wonderful choices for lunch from a Greek tavern to Petrossian caviar.
End our Pulse of Paris tour with a wine and cheese dinner. My pumpkin soup garnished with a large slice of blue cheese was one of the best tastes of my recent Paris visit.
Day 6
Return home or stay an extra day on your own. I urge you to stay on.
Possible Itinerary changes depending on Vendor Availability and schedules.
$3250 plus $75 to partially cover cost of lunch at Jules Verne. Includes 5 night hotel room, single occupancy with no single supplement. 2 lunches: Eiffel Tower and Montmartre Moveable Feast counted as 2 dinners, most activities mentioned in itinerary. $100 towards spa treatment at Four Seasons perhaps a manicure. Treatments are expensive but there are treatments where $100 would be half of cost. A massage runs about $250. 2 day museum pass.
Book early: Our hotel requires a one night payment to book room. There are only a limited number of rooms at price quoted. The next room up is about $50 a night more.

Negotiating the Legal Terrain: How Survivors of Domestic Violence Experience Their Search for Justice – Phase One (November 2015 to February 2016)
Funded by the Government of Alberta, through a partnership between the Alberta Centre for Child, Family and Community Research and the Alberta Interagency Council on Housing and Homelessness. CPLEA will develop a plan and methodology to conduct research that will tell the stories of survivors of domestic violence who have navigated the justice system.
Domestic Violence & Renting in Alberta: Exploring Landlords' Roles in Supporting Tenants At Risk of or Experiencing Domestic Violence (December 2015 to February 2017)
Funded by the Government of Canada's Homelessness Partnering Strategy through Homeward Trust Edmonton's Community Research Projects funding. CPLEA will explore ways landlords can more effectively help tenants at risk of or experiencing domestic violence. This research will be used by CPLEA staff in future projects to design resources that will help landlords play their roles effectively. We would like to thank the Alberta Residential Landlord Association; the Alberta Council of Women's Shelters; the Edmonton Community Legal Centre; and the Stop Abuse in Families Society for their support and assistance with this project.
Condominium Education Project – Phase Two (September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2016)
Funded by the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, the goal of this project with its three phases is to increase the knowledge of Albertans on their rights and obligations under condominium law. The emphasis of Phase Two is to produce plain language legal information resources on rights and responsibilities of condominium board members. Phase One of the project involved the development of Condo Law for Albertans. For more information, contact Judy Feng at jfeng @ cplea.ca.
Law for Alberta's Multicultural Communities – Discrimination & Renting (June 2015 to May 2016)
This project is funded by the Alberta Human Rights Education and Multiculturalism Fund. In this project, CPLEA will create resources for multicultural communities to learn about their rental rights under the Alberta Human Rights Act. These resources use real-life scenarios to explain what landlords are allowed to do and not do under the Act. Resources will also explain what remedies are available and how individuals can access these remedies.
OakNet Redesign (July 2015 to June 2016)
The Older Adult Knowledge Network (OakNet) website will be undergoing a redesign in consultation with seniors organizations in Alberta. The redesign will include an updated, refreshed aesthetic and reorganization of the legal information on the website to better reflect the information seeking behaviour of Alberta's growing seniors population. Funded by the Alberta Law Foundation.
Family Law Toolkit for Albertans Experiencing Domestic Violence (July 2015 to June 2016)
CPLEA is developing a selection of family law resources for Albertans experiencing domestic violence and the frontline service workers who assist them. Resources will address family-based legal issues that Albertans fleeing domestic violence need to consider before and after they have left an abusive relationship. Funded by the Alberta Law Foundation.
Child Welfare Project (January 2016 to June 2016)
CPLEA will be conducting an environmental scan and needs assessment to determine what public legal education resources are needed for Albertans involved with the child welfare system as well as for frontline service providers who assist these individuals.
Canadian Legal FAQs
The Canadian Legal FAQ website provides a wealth of information about the law at both the federal and provincial level. The FAQs are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that they accurately reflect the current state of the law. In 2015-16, we plan to update the following FAQs: Divorce, Child Support, Child Custody, Real Estate, Employment, and History of Unions. We will be creating new FAQs on sponsorship of refugees. Funded by the Alberta Law Foundation.
Pro Bono Students Canada Project
The Centre for Public Legal Education is pleased to partner with Pro Bono Students Canada to give law students hands-on research and writing experience on a variety of projects. For the 2015 – 2016 academic year, our staff is supervising six pro bono students. Students are contributing articles on a variety of topics for publication in LawNow magazine, reviewing and drafting FAQs, and assisting with the development of our family law toolkit for Albertans experiencing domestic violence.
Accessing Justice: Legal Information for Frontline Service Providers (October 1, 2014 to January 31, 2016)
This is a project in partnership with the Justice Sector Constellation, a working committee of the Calgary Poverty Reduction Initiative. With funding provided by the Alberta Law Foundation, this project will develop a workshop for intermediaries who work with vulnerable populations to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to recognize client legal issues and to make appropriate client referrals to legal services.
Condominium Education Project – Phase One (April 1, 2014 to October 31, 2015)
Funded by the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, the goal of this project with its three phases is to increase the knowledge of Albertans on their rights and obligations under condominium law. During Phase One, CPLEA produced a comprehensive new website for Alberta consumers thinking about buying a condo, currently living in one, or considering selling or renting their condo.
Law for Alberta's Multicultural Communities – Your Rights at Work (March 2014 – April 2015)
This project is funded by the Alberta Human Rights Education and Multiculturalism Fund. In this project, CPLEA created resources for multicultural communities to learn about their employment rights. These resources use real-life scenarios to explain human rights law and employment to young people. Research indicates that immigrants with limited English speaking abilities often turn to their children to act as intermediaries to pass on information, including legal information. By developing resources for youth, the youth will learn about human rights law and then will also be able to pass this information along to their family members.
Elder Abuse Awareness Project
This project is focused on increasing the knowledge and awareness of how intermediaries can use the law to prevent and reduce elder abuse. A resource guide, facilitator's guide, and multiple tip sheets were produced for the project. All resources can be accessed for free online in English and French through our Publications page. We gratefully acknowledge the Government of Canada – Employment and Social Development for funding this project.
Legal Information for Post Secondary Students (LIPS) (Completed January 2015)
This project, funded by Status of Women Canada, was designed to build partnerships and collaboration between Northern Lakes College (NLC) and its community stakeholders and to assist in developing resource-based strategies and approaches intended to help prevent violence against women on campus. Guided by student opinion and input, CPLEA developed legal resources for rural college students to be used at NLC and in colleges across Alberta. From these consultations the website WillowNet was created.
LawCentral Alberta (Français)
This project was funded by Canada Justice and entailed replacing the very old content management system which was the foundation of the existing LawCentral suite of 3 websites (LawCentral Alberta, LawCentral Canada, and LawCentral Français). The 3 sites offered a collection of links to law-related information resources and services on justice and legal issues of relevance to Albertans. The project combined LawCentral Alberta (English only), Canada (English only) and LawCentral Francais into one site. The redesign afforded CPLEA the opportunity to provide a new service to Francophone Albertans by adding information available in French and providing French language search terms all on one site.
Families and the Law (Fall 2014)
CPLEA partnered with the Edmonton Community Legal Centre for this project to create new resources on Family Law in Alberta. The five booklets in the series provide practical legal information on Child Custody and Parenting, Financial Support, Property Division, Representing Yourself in Family Court, and Young Parents. We gratefully acknowledge the Alberta Law Foundation for the funding that made this project possible.
Hidden Homeless: Residential Tenancies Issues of Victims of Domestic Violence (June 2014)
Funded by the Government of Canada's Homelessness Partnering Strategy through Homeward Trust Edmonton's Community Research Projects funding. This study was undertaken to better understand the legal context within which victims of domestic violence operate in staying in, leaving, and finding new rental housing. Its purpose is to contribute to preventing at risk populations from entering or returning to homelessness.
Constitutionally-protected Minority Official Language Rights (Spring 2014)
Funded by Justice Canada's Access to Justice in Both Official Languages Support Fund, resources have been developed for people interested in learning more about their constitutionally-protected French language minority rights outside of Québec.
Les droits des minorités de langues officielles protégés par la Constitution (Spring 2014)
Financé par Le Fonds d'appui à l'accès à la justice dans les deux langues officielles, des ressources ont été créee pour les personnes intéressées à en apprendre davantage à propos les droits linguistiques protégés par la Constitution (hors du Québec).
Alberta Alliance for the Safety of Animals and People (AASAP)
The Alberta Alliance for the Safety of Animals and People (AASAP) is a partnership of Alberta based non-profit, government and victims services agencies that help both animal and human victims of domestic violence. The Alliance supports the provision of a province-wide pet safe-keeping network for family violence victims while they are in emergency shelters or otherwise trying to leave situations of domestic violence. AASAP includes professionals from law enforcement, social services, veterinary services, health, animal welfare, women's shelters, legal education and other communities. The Centre for Public Legal Education Alberta is proud to be a partner in this worthwhile initiative. For more information on the initiative see Alberta Alliance for the Safety of Animals and People (AASAP).
Law for Alberta's Multicultural Communities: Research Project (completed Spring 2014)
CPLEA received funding from the Alberta Human Rights Education and Multiculturalism Fund to undertake research to clarify the need for accessible legal information for multicultural groups in Alberta. The project looked at the information needs related to specific areas of civil law as identified in the Alberta Human Rights Act. Immigrants' information-seeking behaviours, including when and how information is accessed, were investigated and recommendations on appropriate formats and sources provided.
