Under a new law that came into force in February 2017, it became illegal to euthanise abandoned animals in Taiwan.
Fees of up to $125 will also be paid by those who abandon their pets at a shelter.
But this much-praised law only came into effect after the sad the case of Chien Chih-cheng, a veterinarian who killed herself last year after being heavily criticised over the number of animals she had put down.
Veterinarian and animal lover Chien Chih-cheng, on 5 May last year, took her own life, using the same drug she used to put down animals at her place of work.
She said she wanted to help people understand what really happens to abandoned pets in Taiwan.
Following the sad incident, the whole of Taiwan was gripped by anger and introspection, most of it focused on a life tragically cut short.
In an interview Ms Chien once did with a local TV station CTI, she described the first time she saw an animal being put down.
"I went home and cried all night," she said.
But it was media appearances like this that meant she came under personal attack. When it was revealed she had put down about 700 dogs in two years, she was labelled the "beautiful slaughterer".
Shelter workers dreaded putting down the dogs, but Ms Chien and others saw this as a better end for the unwanted, ageing or difficult-to-adopt animals than leaving them at risk of disease in overcrowded shelters.
"They called her a butcher… We are frequently scolded. Some people say we'll go to hell. They say we love to kill and are cruel," said Kao Yu-jie, one of her co-workers.
In the CTI interview, Ms Chien described the process of putting a dog down.
"We first let it take a stroll and eat some snacks and talk to it. Then we take it into the 'humane room'.
"When you put it on the table, it's very scared and its whole body is shaking. But after we administer the drug, it leaves in three to five seconds. It no longer shakes. Actually, it's very sad."
No psychological counselling was provided for the staff. Psychological support in this and other fields is practically unheard of in Taiwan.
Since her death, the Taiwan government has pledged to increase funding and staffing at shelters and provide psychological counselling.
But many see these as short-term measures.
Activists want the government to crack down on breeders, implement subsidies for NGOs to spay and neuter, and provide assistance to groups that take in strays.
Perhaps Ms Chien might not have been the only catalyst for the changes, but her love for animals will not be forgotten, especially by her husband, also an animal control worker, and her colleagues - all of whom were left pain-stricken by her death.

2 thoughts on "Hair Skin Nails Vitamins Review"
Okay I'm a new viewer on your blog! Awesome btw 🙂 I really love the purple/blue/pink with sparkles! Also I love the concept of this vitamin, I have actually seen so many different commercials for this kind of product. I would definitely like to use it to see if there is progress with my hair and skin. My nails are pretty fast growers on their own. Excellent review!
I have a hard time with both my nails and hair. My hair seems to but stuck in length. I have tried several brands of vitamins but they are not working. I believe after reading your review I will give these a try. Thank you for a great review

Private Companies Have Stolen Public Property
The issue is not the internet, the issue is the infrastructure. The 2oth century was characterised by the introduction of public utilities - massive investment in infrastructure that could only be justified if it was built once, not over and over. No one expects to have five sets of power lines run to their house so that five suppliers can compete - you would never get the first set of wires.
To improve the life of the people, public utilities were set up and funded with public debt. Monopolies were created and regulated and the infrastructure built. Once the infrastructure is in place and paid for, it becomes possible to separate the infrastructure from the content. Power plants become privately owned and operated, but the wires remain a separate bit, whose only role is to carry power from suppliers to your home. Marketers sell power from the grid to the customers, who are free to choose.
Our problem is that we have let the massive amount of money in the entertainment and telecoms business pervert the model. There isn't a foot of wire that wasn't installed with the people's money via approved monopoly. Cable TV started with regulated monopolies that were "privatised" once the companies got big enough to buy the politicians. Satellite TV was scrambled when the cable companies could threaten the providers with loss of huge numbers of viewers.
With respect to radio spectrum, the crazy mix of CDMA, GSM, EDGE, etc. only happens in this country. No one else would be stupid enough to let a limited thing like the low latency radio spectrum to be sold off to private companies who have a vested interest in having incompatible standards. It is insane.
This is a battle for spectrum and wire, not ideas and content. This is about the money. The people's money. We funded it, we license it, we own it - or at least we should. Instead we pay too much for too little. Other countries have faster connections, better mobile phones, interoperability, streaming HD. We get private monopoly after private monopoly.
I propose that all wired infrastructure and spectrum be controlled as neutral public utilities. There is no need to worry about expansion or innovation. The customers are the both the consumer and the content provider. They will demand that the utility provides cutting edge service, both to have a market and to satisfy a need. By separating the critical and limited infrastructure from the content, we can let the content providers innovate content to sell to the consumer, the technology companies innovate to sell to the public utilities, and the markets to ensure the most practical solution wins.

Easy Tips To Follow To Get FitPhysical fitness is important for many reasons. Being fit can make you more attractive, fight depression, improve self-esteem, and improve physical health. If http://selectquit15mila.tblogz.com/sensible-approaches-to-assist-your-skin-care-retail-service-grow-1537786 'd like to get fit but aren't sure how to start, look no further! Read on for some easy tips to get started on fitness.
If you don't already have a personal trainer, consider paying for just a few sessions. Often times you don't need to pay for ongoing training, just a couple sessions to get you on the right track, and find out what kind of exercises you should be doing to meet your fitness goals as well as learning proper techniques for executing them.
Drink water before, during and after your workout. Water is the single most important substance for human beings and is required by every cell in your body. It's crucial to stay hydrated. Not only that, but during a workout, your cells can create a lot of waste products. Water helps flush those toxins from your system.
A good tip that may help you get fit is to eat cottage cheese or milk before bed. Cottage cheese and milk, along with a few other foods, contain casein protein, which actually promotes lean body mass when eaten before bed. There are also protein powders that contain casein protein.
To really get some great legs, add some standing and sitting calf raises to your exercising routine. Doing both sitting and standing versions, work out both sets of muscles in the legs. Adding these to your workout will not only make your legs look great, but will allow you to get better results than with other leg exercises.
Keep your body measuring on a regular schedule. You need to keep track of your progress after a set amount of time and keep doing it to see what is working and what is not. It is recommended that you measure every four weeks or so. Take measurements of waist size, body fat, etc. Seeing these numbers will give you motivation to stay on track and achieve your goals.
By making a few minor modifications to your bench pressing routing, you can target different areas of the body. To focus on collagen for skin mites , try to squeeze the bar inward. You can switch the focus to your triceps by performing close-grip reps while squeezing the bar away from you or outward.
Kick yourself in the bottom, literally! Slowly pulling your leg back up until your foot touches your bottom is a great method for increasing both flexibility and range of motion. Being able to actually touch the two takes time and effort, but can help improve your posture and running speeds.
There are alternative methods to being physically fit besides the standard of weight lifting and cardiovascular work. Sports such as swimming and basketball can give your body a good workout by exercising all of your body parts, and you can have fun while doing it.
Work opposing muscle groups back to back. Doing this will help save you time in the gym. For example, work your biceps and then move directly to your triceps. While you are working one muscle, the other one will get a chance to rest. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/nwsexit.php?url=https://goo.gl/elyPva will help you to eliminate rest breaks between sets.
One of the exercise programs usually offered is the aerobic class. This means performing long lasting, medium intensity exercises. Choose this program whenever available as this type of exercise strengthens the respiratory and the heart muscles and improves the blood circulation. As a general effect, it reduces the body's stress level, burns fat and promotes general wellbeing.

Foods to pair with your collagen - Well+Good Find out what foods work with collagen foods and supplements to make them more effective.
Smart fitness buffs do not subject themselves to long sets of crunches or sit-ups every day. The abdominal muscles that these exercises target are like any other set of muscles: They respond best when they get time to recover following a workout. The best results come from limiting ab workouts to two or three sessions a week.
As you age, hold your stretches for longer than you used to. Older muscles tighten and get fatigued much more easily, so you need to spend extra time loosening them up to prevent injury. Doubling the time you spend on stretches, for about every ten years of exercise, is the best method.
Workouts can be very hard to finish, especially if you do not enjoy going to the gym. The best thing that you can do is to find extra motivation and incentive to get to where you want to be. Think of all the people who said you could not get skinny and use that as fuel to your fire in the gym.
Make sure you get plenty of sleep. Sleeping is essential for all life. While you sleep, your body undergoes repairs that it could not normally do while you are awake. Your heart rate is also lowered, and you are in your most relaxed state. This is important when working out.
So rev up that fitness routine with the practical tips from this article and don't be bored anymore. Fitness is only possible if you stick with it and this advice will give you the help you need to do just that. Get started today for your own sake, and get fit.

Cricket Betting Tips for VIVO IPL 2017 16th game: Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Lions
Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Lions
Mumbai Indians will be looking to maintain their position at the top of points table as they take on Gujarat Lions in the 16th game of the Indian Premier League. Mumbai Indians will host Gujarat Lions at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Kieron Pollard was the hero for Mumbai as all-rounder produced a splendid knock under pressure to steer his side to a four-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore despite Samuel Badree running through the top order.
Andrew Tye playing his first game for Gujarat showcased his worth as he bagged five wickets to see the franchise notch up their first win of the season. Mumbai will be pretty confident to pull off a win over Gujarat who will need to produce their best to dislodge the hosts at Wankhede. Ravendra Jadeja also returned for Lions after long layoff due to hectic Indian home summer.
Dwayne Smith was promoted to open with Brendon McCullum in the last game and it worked wonders as duo put over 90-odd runs for the opening wicket. Jason Roy was sidelined to accommodate Andrew Tye to bolster bowling resources. Raina also batted well to see his home to win the game. Praveen Kumar and others will still need to produce better much spells if Gujarat want to win games in the competition.
Mumbai do have one worry that is the form of their captain Rohit Sharma who has looked out of sorts but the hosts will be hoping he can click in the upcoming games. Nitish Rana, Parthiv Patel and Jos Buttler have done in the games played so far while Kieron Pollard came good in the last as batting is finally produce big scores as a whole. The bowling has been effective as Harbhajan Singh, Jaspreet Bumrah and Mitchell McClenaghan been decent. Krunal Pandya has been getting wickets at a better rate while his brother Hardik Pandya is a man known for pulling off famous wins out of nowhere.

NZ to enforce sanctions responsible for the death of 567,000 children - US professor
By Jeremy Rose
The New Zealand frigrate Canterbury will be helping to impse sanctions already responsible for the death of more than 560,000 children under the age of five, says an Amercian professor who headed a United Nations fact-finding mission to Iraq late last year.
Dr Peter Pellett, a professor of Nutrition at the University of Massachusetts, says another 100,000 children will almost certainly die if the Security Council sanctions are maintained for another 12 months.
Foreign Minister Don McKinnon does not dispute the figures, but says there is no evidence that lifting the sanctions, in place since Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, would benefit ordinary Iraqis.
"If this man [Saddam Hussein] can watch his people starve and build an enormous new palace for himself and continue to manufacture weapons for his army, people don't mean a lot to him," McKinnon says.
Dr Pellett's comments come amidst growing international concern over the consequences of the sanctions, which have been described by former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark as "one of the greatest crimes against humanity of this epoch".
Dr Pellett says New Zealand and other countries supporting the sanctions are being pushed "down the road in a fit of pique from the United States. 'We hate Saddam Hussein and we're never going to stop until he's removed.' The mere fact that people are dying along the way isn't going to stop them."
Meanwhile, a former New Zealand ambassador to the United Nations, and chair of the Security Council Sanctions committee, Terence O'Brien, agrees it's a mistake for New Zealand to send a frigate to help enforce the sanctions.
O'Brien, now the director of the Centre For Strategic Studies at Victoria University, says he came to the conclusion the sanctions were unduly harsh while chairing the sanctions committee in 1993.
He says at that stage there were already reports of large scale death and malnutrition as a result of the sanctions. "UNICEF came out with some distressing conclusions. The report was never factored in by the Security Council. The Security Council works in very, very strange ways."
"I found it extraordinary difficult to accept. There is nothing in the sanctions that say they are supposed to effect the livelihood of every day Iraqis.
"But the major power line was that nothing that would assist an Iraqi economic recovery was acceptable. For example a request for cloth to make shirts with would be turned down, but made-up shirts approved."
Since O'Brien returned to New Zealand, the sanctions committee has blocked the import of spare parts such as tyres for ambulances on the grounds that they are "not essential". There are 50 ambulances in Baghdad of which two are operational.
O'Brien is supportive of New Zealand's role in sending personnel to help with the detection and elimination of weapons of mass destruction, and the work in redrawing the boundaries between Kuwait and Iraq, but says the time has come to revise the sanction regime.
"Inside the New Zealand Government there are those who for defence reasons see advantage in being involved in a multi-nation defence exercise. I agree there is merit in that, but not if the substantive case is somewhat questionable."
"The guy did some terrible things things. In the heat and flush of retribution the sanctions were not unreasonable, but with the passage of time I think there should be some reconsideration."
Ramsey Clark, is less restrained in his criticism of the sanctions. In an open letter published on the 50th anniversary of the UN, in October last year, Clark described the sanctions as: "a weapon of mass destruction wreaking havoc collectively on the entire civilian population. They are the direct cause of hundreds of deaths daily.
"Sanctions against a whole nation inherently harm the poor first, killing and crippling infants, children, the elderly, the chronically ill and emergency medical cases, the very parts of every population that society has the highest duty to protect.
Don McKinnon says the government will only support lifting the sanctions when it is convinced Saddam Hussein is not developing weapons of mass destruction.
"Here is a nation actively developing these weapons and all the time saying they're not doing it. So they really have to be regarded as an untrustworthy nation."
"I was very supportive of the food for oil deal [a relaxation of the sanctions, now on hold, that would have seen Iraq allowed to sell $2 billion worth of oil], I thought well at least if they will get food and medicine for the oil money, at least it's going to the people that need it. Well it's not going to the people that need it. It's going to the Iraqi people in the central region, it's not going to the Kurds in the north and it's not going to the Shi'as in the south.
In contrast, Dr Pellett's UNFAO report concluded that a famine situation has been "prevented largely by an efficient public rationing system which provides a minimum food basket to all Iraqi families - excluding those in the north".
While backing up Mr McKinnon's claims that things are are worse in the North and South of the country, the report's findings were based largely on a survey of children's health in Baghdad where child mortality has risen nearly five fold since 1990.
"The deterioration nutritional status of child is reflective of events which are occurring in Iraqi society - a lack of purchasing power and high prices for basic food items, poor water and sanitation quality, and high burden of infectious and parasitic diseases."
Meanwhile, Dr Pellett says the chance of widespread epidemic and famine increases daily.
"In the south the whole sewage system is in a state of collapse. There are no spare parts for pumps down there. Sewage backs ups through street drains. We saw huge green smelly areas in the street of the Southern city of Basra. The surprising thing to us was not that there had not been cases of cholera and dysentery and so on but there hadn't already been massive epidemics of these things."
Dr Pellett says he has no difficulty accepting Ramsey Clark's estimate than a million people have died so far as a result of the sanctions.
"The sanctions are all about creating economic pain until the population rises up and over throws its evil rulers. That's basically the philosophy behind the sanctions. But of course they don't work that way. The power elite has not been hurt one iota by the sanctions."
Mr McKinnon agrees that the sanctions have little chance of getting rid of Saddam Hussein. "We are really hoping that he begins to take seriously his role as the leader of Iraq towards all his people."
Dr Pellett says the UN already has in place the means to relieve much of the suffering caused by the sanctions.
"That's the great irony. There is widespread UN activity in the country. You've got UNICEF functioning, you've got the world food programme functioning, and a myriad of other UN agencies functioning. There they are all dashing around in brand-new white Toyotas trying to do things while the other half of the UN is saying sanction, sanctions. It is just madness."

Made this one today!!
Dear Journal,
Today… may have been one of the greatest moments
of my life! Yesterday… Violet was still as kind to me
as she has always been. Aside from her smile, her beautiful
personality, one thing I've always liked about her was her
When she did hug me, sometimes she simply picked me up
and held me like a plushie for several minutes.. it was… very
comforting.. dang her fur is soft. During that time.. I..
may have developed certain.. feelings.. but I have surpressed them,
as I only knew her for 3 days, and I have a fear of
rejection. No point in breaking a good relationship right?
Today however.. she told me…. that she actually had a
what these Jammers refer to as a "crush" on me. Apparently
the sensation is in equal, perhaps greater proximity to my
feelings for her. We've only known each other 3 days, and
it seems like 3 years!
I do want to spend more time with her and learn
more about her though, and she helped me with that yesterday..
she made me a room in her den!! How kind! Before I
slept on a bean bag next to her bed. Still comfy hehe.
Nonetheless.. this concludes another fantastic day…
Till I write again – QQ"

1. Does an agreement between a retiring Governor and other members of the executive branch to seal for ten years, in the state archive, almost half of the Governor's official correspondence trump the Public Records Act and Vermont Supreme Court precedent? (See pp. 5 - 22.)[1]
2. Is the lower court's decision denying the State's request for costs it claims will be incurred in resisting compliance with the Public Records Act properly before this Court, where the State failed to seek interlocutory review of that order; if so, was that decision incorrect?

This is a case arising under the Vermont Access to Public Records Act, 1 V.S.A. §§ 315 to 320 (the "Public Records Act").
generation that made the nation thought secrecy in government one of the
instruments of
As a matter of law, and regardless of Governor Dean's motivations or the various "public interest" considerations Defendants assert are at issue, Defendants are incorrect. Thus, the lower court properly held that the MOU does not establish "executive privilege." Its grant of judgment, pursuant to V.R.C.P. 12(c), in favor of Judicial Watch was correct, and should be affirmed.
By letter dated August 25, 2003, to Defendant Sanford, Judicial Watch requested access to the gubernatorial public records of former Governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean in accordance with the Public Records Act. By letter dated August 26, 2003, Sanford informed Judicial Watch that it could inspect certain limited records, but that other gubernatorial records were not available for inspection pursuant to a January 2003 Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") signed by Governor Dean, Defendant Markowitz and Attorney General William Sorrell. According to the MOU, "any portion of correspondence determined by Governor Dean to be encompassed by executive privilege" will be sealed for ten years.
By letter dated November 19, 2003, Judicial Watch appealed the denial of that request to Defendant Markowitz; by letter dated November 26, 2003, the appeal was rejected.
Procedural History
On December 3, 2003, Judicial Watch filed its Complaint in this action, seeking full and immediate access to Governor Dean's public records and requesting expedited treatment in accordance with 1 V.S.A. § 319(b). On December 23, 2003, Defendants served their Answer. On January 12, 2004, Judicial Watch served its Reply.
On January 22, 2004, Judicial Watch moved for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to V.R.C.P. 12(c), on the grounds that the requested documents are public records which must be disclosed under the Public Records Act. Specifically, Judicial Watch argued that the State has neither made nor attempted to make the required prima facie showing for executive privilege, and that the "MOU" is a legal fiction which cannot serve as an end run around that requirement. The lower court agreed, and granted Judicial Watch's motion, ruling "that the MOU itself does not establish that any requested records necessarily are exempt from disclosure under the Act."
However, rather than direct the State to produce the documents immediately, the court gave the State yet another opportunity to meet its burden by preparing an index of the documents withheld from review. The State still has not done so; instead, it filed additional motions, and otherwise has sought to delay compliance, including seeking this interlocutory appeal. Although the lower court stated that it "does not suffer dramatic uncertainty with regard to the correctness of its order on the MOU issue" (PC-0010), on May 10, 2004, it granted the State's motion for interlocutory review and certified three issues for appeal.
The lower court's decision – "that the MOU itself does not establish that any requested records are exempt from disclosure under the Act" (PC-0003) – should be affirmed.
Simply put, the 150 boxes of documents at issue are public records, and therefore must be revealed to the public under the Public Records Act (requiring disclosure despite potential "embarrassment") and this Court's precedent (placing the burden of establishing a potential prima facie case for executive privilege on the Governor).
The MOU does not alter this result by announcing "executive privilege," for a contract cannot trump the Public Records Act, and the executive branch of government cannot – despite its professed balancing of "public interests" – unilaterally rewrite legislation or case law. It is not the province of the executive branch to legislate public policy and decide what it thinks is a reasonable amount of time for secrecy in government; under the separation of powers doctrine, the job of determining public policy and enacting laws rests with the legislature, which enacted the Public Records Act. Nor can the executive branch ignore this Court's interpretation of the laws that, with respect to the Public Records Act, requires it to meet the burden of establishing a claim of privilege by providing a particularized affidavit.
Defendants' argument that the Archive Statute gives them this authority fails in law and logic, for that statute simply directs the archivist to preserve the "terms and conditions of law restricting the[] use" of documents placed in his custody; it does not, by that language preserving the status quo, authorize the Secretary of State or anyone else to negotiate a contract announcing those "conditions of law." Indeed, if Defendants were right, then they could unilaterally decide to seal the entire archive, an absurd result which must be rejected (and which was rejected by the lower court). Defendants' plea for deference on this argument also must be rejected, for the MOU is not the result of legitimate rulemaking under the Vermont Administrative Procedure Act (nor do Defendants even argue that it is).
Finally, Defendants' attempt to collect $187,650 should be rejected, because the issue is not before this Court and, in any event, the lower court correctly ruled that the cost-shifting component of the Public Records Act does not pay for the cost of resisting compliance with disclosure obligations. Similarly, Defendants' recent attempt to change the facts (i.e., the number of sealed boxes at issue) is not properly before this Court and, in any event, should not be countenanced.
The narrow legal issue before this Court is whether an agreement between a retiring Governor and other members of the executive branch to seal for ten years almost half of the Governor's official correspondence trumps the Public Records Act and Vermont Supreme Court precedent. As the lower court correctly held, the answer is no.
As explained below, the 150 boxes of documents at issue are public records, so they are subject to disclosure. Defendants rely on "executive privilege" as an exception to that disclosure requirement, but they refuse to make the required showing. Instead, they maintain that their MOU carries the day, asserting virtually without citation to legal authority that the Secretary of State is given a "broad grant of authority" under the Archive Statute and that such authority includes "balancing public interests" by entering into side agreements with the Governor. Defendants are incorrect.
The Archive Statute gives no broad grant of authority, but rather a narrow assignment of duties for the state archivist to follow in connection with maintaining documents. The only relevant "broad grant of authority" articulated by the state legislature appears in the Public Records Act, and it is a pronouncement of the public's right to know what its government is up to, regardless of whatever "embarrassment" it might cause. 1 V.S.A. § 315. The MOU cannot serve as an end run around the Public Records Act and Vermont Supreme Court case law, and there is nothing in the Archive Statute or elsewhere that says otherwise.
A. Because
They Are Public Records, The 150 Boxes Of Gubernatorial Documents Are Subject
To Disclosure Under The
definition of "public records" is "sweeping," see Caledonian-Record Publ'g Co. v. Walton, 154
Here, the 150 boxes of documents at issue are "the official correspondence of the Governor." PC-0051 (Answer, Exhibit 1). Accordingly, these documents are clearly public records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. Judicial Watch has requested access to these records and has "followed the procedure set forth in the Public Records Act." PC-0050 (Answer), ¶ 20. Thus, unless there is an applicable exception, the 150 boxes of gubernatorial documents must be disclosed under the Public Records Act.
B. Governor Dean Has Not Met His Burden Of Establishing The "Executive Privilege" Exception To Disclosure.
Defendants assert "executive privilege" as the exception to disclosure under the Public Records Act. Without question, Vermont case law has held that the assertion of common law privileges, like the "executive privilege," may sometimes prevent the disclosure of public records under 1 V.S.A. § 317(c)(4). At its core, this privilege (which is not absolute) is designed to protect a Governor's decision-making or deliberative process, in order to benefit the public, not the Governor or his political ambitions.
Under the common law executive privilege, documents reflecting communications in the course of the Governor's decision-making and deliberative process may be withheld from the public to protect and facilitate the Governor's consultative and decisional responsibilities. The privilege, which is not absolute, furthers the public interest by allowing the Governor to obtain open advice on matters of public importance.
In New England Coalition [164 Vt. 337, 344 (1995)], we explained the process for making a prima facie case of executive privilege in response to a request for documents. The executive must specifically identify the documents for which the privilege is claimed, and must explain why the documents are protected by the privilege. The claim must be supported by an affidavit based on actual personal consideration by the responsible official. Whether the Governor makes a prima facie showing that the privilege applies to the requested documents depends on the specificity of the claims supporting the privilege's assertion.
Here, although Judicial Watch made a "request for documents," there has been no "prima facie" showing in response "specifically identify[ing]" the documents, nor has any affidavit "based on actual personal consideration" ever been provided. Further, Governor Dean failed to comply even with the simple statutory requirement of 3 V.S.A. § 4(a) to provide a complete "itemized list" of his official correspondence (though he did provide a list of those documents he is willing to reveal). Accordingly, any reliance on "executive privilege" must be rejected, and the documents should be disclosed.
C. The MOU Is Legally Void And Provides No Defense Against Disclosure.
attempt to rely on their own "Memorandum of Understanding" as an end run around
1. A Contract Cannot Override The Public Records Act.
is well settled that, as a matter of public policy and common law, a contract
cannot override a public records act. See Trombley v. Bellows Falls Union High
Sch. Dist. No. 27, 160
Accordingly, it is overwhelmingly clear that the MOU is an unenforceable contract as a matter of law. It should be summarily rejected by this Court on that basis alone.
2. The MOU Violates The Separation Of Powers.
government is based on a separation of powers in order to prevent tyranny. See
MOU represents a violation of the separation of powers because it encroaches on
the powers and province of the legislature. See generally Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.
v. Sawyer, 343
the opposite is true. Indeed, it is
precisely because they purport to "balance" the "multi-faceted public interest
considerations" – which they advance as their lead and essentially only
argument – that makes what Defendants have done illegitimate. It is the role of the legislative branch, not
the executive, to set public policy through lawmaking. In re
In addition, by signing and
relying on his "Memorandum of Understanding," Governor Dean ignores judicial
precedent by failing to follow this Court's ruling that requires the making of
a prima facie case for executive privilege; he thereby exceeded his powers and
encroached on those of the judiciary.
Defendants attempt to justify their non-compliance with this requirement
by arguing, based solely on an erroneous citation to New England Coalition, that executive privilege is ordinarily
"unlimited" in duration and announcing that, if the Secretary of State had
declined to help the public with
agreements like the MOU, then we would never get to see these public documents.[5] The citation is erroneous because, in New England Coalition, the claim of
executive privilege was upheld because, unlike here, the defendants actually
met their burden of establishing executive privilege by submitting an
affidavit that made out a prima facie case.
It was not based on some made-up claim of "broad delegation" or
"discretion" under the Archives Statute.
Rather, it was a case in which the defendants met their burden of
establishing privilege via the affidavit of "Volz, as a high-ranking official
who was intimately involved with the preparation of the [documents]...based on
Volz's personal knowledge of the documents, and [which] describe[d] those
documents with particularity." 164
despite Defendants' suggestion to the contrary, the timing issue argued and
addressed in New England Coalition
was not post-term Governor papers,
but post-decision papers. In that case, the plaintiffs had argued that,
following FOIA, the only papers protected by executive privilege are those
created before a Governor's decision on an issue has been made. The Vermont Supreme Court rejected such a
bright-line rule because Governors' decisions are not as clearly delineated (or
regulated) as agencies', and because there, the incumbent Governor (Dean, who
took over for Snelling after his death) actually made a case for executive
privilege. 164
result is not, as we anticipate Defendants will argue, too harsh; rather, it
makes sense that the privilege would not attach to governmental deliberations post-term. "The privilege, which is not absolute,
furthers the public interest by allowing the Governor to obtain open advice on
matters of public importance." Dean, 816 A.2d at 474-75. Once the Governor is out of office, however,
the analysis changes, for any potential political "down side" to meeting with a
controversial group has vanished. See, e.g., Times Mirror Co. v. Superior
Court, 813 P.2d 240, 251 (
Defendant Sanford himself correctly cautioned in his August 21, 2002 memorandum to the Governor's Legal Counsel, David Rocchio, that "to begin building post-gubernatorial controls into memoranda of understanding raises legal issues and is bad precedent." See PC-0049 (Answer), ¶ 16; PC-0039 (Exhibit 5 to Complaint).[7] The Governor is simply not the legislature, and thus he cannot enact statutes. Nor is he the judiciary, so he cannot declare statutes to be invalid or make new common law (or ignore the law as announced by this Court). In fact, Governor Dean has ignored the requirements of making a prima facie showing, and now it is simply too late for him to make such a showing. The Defendants' acts have no basis in law, and violate the fundamental principle of a separation of powers by usurping the powers of the other branches of government.
3. The Archive Statute Does Not Authorize The MOU.
Defendants argue that entering into the MOU was authorized by the Archive Statute and should be honored by this Court. As the lower court held, Defendants are incorrect. Nowhere in that statute is there any such authority. Nor is Defendants' illegitimate and illogical argument to the contrary entitled to any "deference," for Defendants did not engage in any rulemaking under the Vermont Administrative Procedure Act that might warrant such deference.
Archive Statute creates "within the office of the Secretary of State the
division of
In fulfilling the duties of the state archives program, the state archivist shall...permit the public to inspect, examine, and study the archives, provided that any record placed in the keeping of the office of the secretary of state under special terms or conditions of law restricting their use shall be made accessible only in accord with those terms and conditions.
3 V.S.A. § 117(g)(9). The meaning of this statute is plain: the archivist shall make the archives available to the public, but the archivist shall honor whatever legal restrictions have been imposed on particular records when they are received by the Secretary of State for archiving.
a. Defendants' Absurd Statutory Interpretation Must Be Rejected.
Based solely on the proviso in 3 V.S.A. § 117(g)(9) acknowledging the possibility of "special terms and conditions of law," Defendants argue that the very person entrusted with maintaining custody of the archival records and the very person who is required to permit public inspection can, at the same time, unilaterally exercise her "discretion" and write "law" by reclassifying public documents as secret for any period of time she desires, including forever. Defendants essentially argue that their only obligation of public disclosure as archivists is to reveal the documents that they decide to reveal, and that their decision in that regard is "law" under 3 V.S.A. § 117(g)(9). In other words, Defendants believe that "special terms and conditions of law" is whatever they say it is. This interpretation of the Archive Statute is absurd, and must be rejected for that reason. See, e.g., Springfield Terminal Ry. v. Agency of Transp., 174 Vt. 341, 348 (2002) ("This Court will always avoid a statutory construction which leads to absurd or irrational results"); In re G.T., 170 Vt. 507, 517 (2000) ("statutes should be construed so as not to reach absurd results"); Braun v. Bd. of Dental Examiners, 167 Vt. 110, 117 (1997) ("We presume that the Legislature does not intend an interpretation that would lead to absurd or irrational consequences").[8] Indeed, if Defendants were correct, then the Secretary of State could simply conceal the entire state archive.
only sensible interpretation of the "special terms and conditions of law"
proviso is that it simply makes clear that the first proviso – "permit the
public to inspect" – does not void an otherwise valid, legal restriction on use
of a document simply by virtue of its being placed in the archive. That is, the proviso tells the archivist to
preserve the legal status quo of a record.
It does not grant authority to the Secretary of State (or anyone else)
to then and there create, draft and enforce "special terms or conditions of
law" of her choosing. The
b. The Secretary Of State Has No "Broad Discretion" To Legislate.
fact is, the Archive Statute – which predates the Public Records Act – does not
give any "broad discretion" or "broad authority" to the Secretary of State to
rewrite the Public Records act or overrule Vermont Supreme Court precedent. It is thus no surprise that Defendants cite
to no controlling legal authority in support of what they have done here. Instead, Defendants cite to Vt. Const. Ch.
II. § 43, which provides only that the Secretary of State is an elected
official, and to Office of State's
Attorney v. Office of the Attorney General, 138
for the proposition that their analysis is entitled to deference, Defendant
cite to State v. Rolfe, 166
c. Defendants' Remaining Arguments Fail.
an effort to support the MOU, Defendants continue to argue that other Governors
have acted similarly. This misses the
mark for several reasons. For one thing,
the fact that other Vermont Governors have done it and, in effect, gotten away
with it, hardly shows that it is legal; presumably, these acts went
unchallenged, or else the Defendants would have cited to some legal authority, as opposed to an
apparent historical occurrence, in support of what they have done. It is hardly surprising that the United
States Supreme Court long ago rejected this kind of faulty reasoning. See,
e.g., Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,
For another, the fact that other Vermont Governors have entered into MOUs for different periods of time and in different percentages of records sealed demonstrates only that Defendants prefer to make up the rules as they go along. Governor Kunin purported to seal her records for only six years; for Governor Dean, it was ten years. The Secretary of State cannot simply make up the rules as she seems appropriate, however reasonable those rules may or may not seem to be. The Archive Statute provides for rulemaking, see 3 V.S.A. § 117(e), but Defendants do not cite that provision. Why? Because, in executing these MOUs, no one even purported to follow the procedure for the adoption of rules mandated by the Administrative Procedure Act, which include provisions for publication of proposed rules, public hearings, comment and review by legislative committee. See 3 V.S.A. § 836, et seq. The fact is, there are no rules here, only a usurpation of power by the executive branch (as explained, supra).
Defendants' suggestion that their MOU conforms with other states' practices is not just irrelevant (see n.5, supra), but is incorrect. Research has yielded no case law anywhere in the country permitting this practice, and, according to a recent survey, most Governors in this country do not have the authority to deny access to records after their term ends.[9]
In addition, the lower court correctly noted (as a "moreover" point) that the MOU itself contemplates that a valid court order might require the disclosure of these public records. The State's argument that this provision in the MOU is not "an advance endorsement of any particular court order" seems to miss the point. See Appellants' Brief at 31.
Finally, Defendants' half-hearted argument that the State Archives Act trumps the Public Records Act because the former is more "specific" was properly rejected by the lower court. PC-0002. The characterization of these statutes is incorrect. The Public Records Act specifically authorizes the public's right to access public records, and is what controls here.
* * *
In sum, the MOU is a stunning piece of fiction masquerading as law. It is legally irrelevant. It is a self-created side-deal that Defendants suggest somehow overrules the requirements of the Public Records Act and applicable Vermont Supreme Court precedent. But it does not. The MOU is an unenforceable contract as a matter of law. It clearly violates the separation of powers, in that the executive branch has usurped the powers of the legislature (by enacting its own laws) and ignored judicial precedent (by failing to comply with Vermont Supreme Court precedent). It is not authorized by the Archive Statute, and Defendants' interpretation to the contrary is entitled to no deference because it leads to an absurd result and because the MOU was not the result of valid rulemaking under the Vermont Administrative Procedure Act. For all of these reasons, the lower court's decision should be affirmed.
Defendants asked the lower court to direct Judicial Watch to pay, in advance, the sum of $187,650 for their claimed costs in providing an index that would assert the grounds for their claim of executive privilege. In other words, Defendants sought the cost of resisting compliance with their disclosure obligations under the Public Records Act. The lower court denied this request.
Defendants did not seek interlocutory review of this denial, so the issue was not certified by the lower court for appellate review and is not properly before this Court. In any event, the denial was correct, for the Public Records Act does not permit the State to charge those who seek public records the claimed costs of resisting that request.
A. This Issue Was Neither Appealed Nor Certified For Appeal.
this is an interlocutory appeal, the lower court's order "contain[s] a statement
of the grounds upon which appeal has been permitted." See
V.R.A.P. 5(b)(1). The general rule is
that where, as here, the lower court has certified the issues on appeal, this
Court's review is confined to those issues.
See, e.g., Pasquale v. Genovese, 139
Indeed, this is no surprise, for the State sought interlocutory review of the February 13 order granting the Rule 12(c) motion, not the May 10 order that denied its request for payment. Defendants concede this point. See Appellant's Brief at 34, n.8 (issue "not strictly within the scope of the court's February 13, 2004 ruling"). In fact, the State did not even seek interlocutory review of the order denying the request for payment, so it should not try to slip the issue in on this appeal.
B. Defendants' Request For $187,650 Was Correctly Denied.
In any event, if this Court should decide to reach the issue, the lower court got it right: Defendants' request that Judicial Watch pay $187,650, in advance, to cover their claimed costs of compliance with the Public Records Act was correctly denied. The Public Records Act provides that public records shall be made available for inspection during regular office hours, without charge:
Any person may inspect or copy any public record or document of a public agency, on any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, between the hours of nine o'clock and twelve o'clock in the forenoon and between one o'clock and four o'clock in the afternoon; provided, however, if the public agency is not regularly open to the public during those hours, inspection or copying may be made during customary business hours.
1 V.S.A. § 316(a). Defendants continue to ignore this provision. Instead, they cite to 1 V.S.A. § 316(c). But that provision is inapposite, providing for the collection of the cost of staff time, in certain circumstances, "associated with complying with a request for a copy of a public record." (emphasis added). Judicial Watch has the right to review the public records, without seeking a copy, and thus without being charged. In other words, the actual cost of complying with Judicial Watch's Public Records Act request is not $187,650, but zero.
all, the documents at issue are already segregated and sitting in boxes, and
Judicial Watch simply wants to review them.
As noted above, Judicial Watch requested "access to and a copy of" these
public records. See Complaint, Exh. 1. It is
true that, as a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) educational foundation,
Judicial Watch requested a waiver of any duplication fees.
Under Vermont case law, the government is required to prove its case for privilege if it wants to keep documents secret; to that end, the lower court has afforded Defendants yet another opportunity to meet its burden by preparing a Vaughn index of documents (despite Judicial Watch's urging that Defendants' opportunity to meet that burden has long since past). What Defendants now seek is not the cost of compliance, but the cost of resisting making these public records available. But the cost-shifting statute for compiling and copying documents simply does not include these claimed costs. Instead, it contemplates charging where "the time directly involved in complying with the request exceeds 30 minutes." 1 V.S.A. § 316(c)(1). Here, the documents are already segregated in discrete boxes, so complying with the request for production would take no time. Just open the lids.
statute also contemplates charging where the agency "agrees to create a public
record." 1 V.S.A. § 316(c)(2). Here, however, the agency is not being asked
to create a public record, but is being asked to comply with
As the lower court correctly held:
Denying access is not 'complying' with a request for access. Creating a Vaughn index by court order to assist the factual evaluation of the propriety of a principled denial of access is neither compliance with the access request nor the creation of a public document within the meaning of § 316(c)(2). The State's view of 'compliance' seems to include whatever may become involved in a response to an access request, including the expense of litigating the denial of access. Such an expansive interpretation could cripple cumbersome requests with unnecessarily high expenses. That the legislature could not possibly have intended; the Act is designed to encourage access, not to thwart it. PC-0009.
C. Defendants' Attempt To Change Their Story Is Not Before This Court, And Should Be Rejected.
In their brief on this appeal, Defendants present their new version of a fact that previously had been undisputed, namely, how many boxes are at issue here. The lower court never had occasion to make a factual finding on this score, so it was obviously not certified for review. The issue is not before this Court.
this is what happened: By affidavit
dated March 15, 2004, Dalton swore – based on his "personal knowledge" – that
early last year some 320 boxes of Governor Dean's documents were given to the
state archivist "pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding" (the "MOU"). The MOU describes these documents as the Governor's
"official correspondence."
One month later (and a full eight
months after Judicial Watch's initial request for access),
This rewriting of history should be seen for the tactic that it is, and not be permitted to serve as an escape hatch that allows the Defendants to avoid their obligations required by law.[14] They should be held to their prior submissions to the court. The fact that Governor Dean delivered the boxes of documents to the Secretary of State for archiving pursuant to the MOU is dispositive of the fact that the boxes are, in fact, "official correspondence." The idea that it was a "mistake" (see Appellants' Brief at 9, n.2) is neither credible nor sufficient to rewrite the record.
For all of the foregoing reasons, the lower court's decision should be affirmed.

For Appellee
[1] This effectively summarizes the three questions certified for this interlocutory appeal by the lower court, namely:
1. Whether an agreement between the Governor and the Secretary of State controlling access to 3 V.S.A. § 4 records in the custody of the Secretary of State may preempt the Access to Public Records Act to the extent that their terms conflict;
2. Whether 3 V.S.A. § 117(g)(9) [the "Archive Statute"] authorizes the Secretary of State to enter into such an agreement, or otherwise authorizes the Secretary of State to limit access to records in the custody of the Secretary of State in conflict with the Access to Public Records Act; and
3. Whether a Governor's self-certification of executive privilege may function as a prima facie showing of executive privilege absent the provision of adequate factual support and without the factual analysis of a reviewing court in the context of an Access to Public Records Act request for 3 V.S.A. § 4 records in the custody of the Secretary of State on appeal to the superior court.
[2] This issue of "costs" was neither certified by the lower court, nor requested to be certified by Defendants. Nevertheless, because Defendants have argued it on appeal, we address it herein.
[3] As the United States Supreme Court in
The President's order does
not direct that a congressional policy be executed in a manner prescribed by
Congress – it directs that a presidential policy be executed in a manner
prescribed by the President. The preamble
of the order itself, like that of many statutes, sets out reasons why the
President believes certain policies should be adopted, proclaims these policies
as rules of conduct to be followed, and again, like a statute, authorizes a
government official to promulgate additional rules and regulations consistent
with the policy proclaimed and needed to carry that policy into execution. The power of Congress to adopt such public policies as those proclaimed by the
order is beyond question. . . . The Constitution did not subject this
law-making power of Congress to presidential or military supervision or
control. 343
[4] See also In re Plaisted, 824 A.2d 148, 152 (N.H. 2003) ("matters of public policy are reserved for the legislature"); Cockrell v. Bd. of Regents of New Mexico State Univ., 45 P.3d 876, 883 (N.M. 2002) ("it is the particular domain of the legislature, as the voice of the people, to make public policy") (citation omitted); Santa Ana Hosp. Med. Ctr. v. Belshe, 65 Cal. Rptr. 754, 764 (Cal. Ct. App. 1997) ("It is for the Legislature to make public policy"); Clemens v. Harvey, 525 N.W.2d 185, 198 (Neb. 1994) ("It is the function of the Legislature through the enactment of statutes to declare what is the law and public policy of this state"); People v. Felella, 546 N.E.2d 492, 498 (Ill. 1989) ("Declaring public policy is the domain of the legislature"); Republic Natural Gas Co. v. Axe, 415 P.2d 406, 411 (Kan. 1966) ("the executive branch of the government...has no authority to legislate or set public policy"); Picone v. Comm'r of Licenses, 149 N.E. 336, 338 (N.Y. 1925) ("Laws are made by the law making power, and not by administrative officers acting solely on their own ideas of sound public policy, however excellent such ideas may be").
[5] See,
e.g., PC-0140 (these "agreements have ensured that the public will
eventually obtain access to documents that might never be available for
inspection because of the otherwise unlimited duration of executive
privilege"); Appellants' Brief at 13, 20 (without MOUs "a retiring Governor has
no incentive to waive executive privilege"; "there is no prescribed time
limitation on the assertion of executive privilege"). Defendants offer no legal support for this
"unlimited in duration" concept. All
they do is note that "various legislatures" have allowed retiring chief
executives to restrict access to their papers for extended periods of
time. Appellants' Brief at 15, n.5
(citing Presidential Records Act and
[6] In this regard, it is worth noting that Governor Dean ignored the statutory requirements of 3 V.S.A. § 4 to provide a complete "itemized list" of his correspondence. It was at the time of his retirement, when he was supposed to have complied with the "itemized list" requirement, that he should have asserted any legitimate claims of executive privilege.
[7] As Professor Cox explained in his seminal article published some thirty years ago (which the Vermont Supreme Court cited in Killington, Ltd. v. Lash, 153 Vt. 628, 634 (1990) and which the Defendants cited in their "Memorandum of Understanding"):
Claims of executive privilege have become increasingly frequent. . . . If the Executive Branch were left to itself, the practice would surely grow. Secrecy, if sanctified by a plausible claim of constitutional privilege, is the easiest solution to a variety of problems. The claim of privilege is a useful way of hiding inefficiency, maladministration, breach of trust or corruption, and also a variety of potentially controversial executive practices not authorized by Congress. Ability to control what information to disclose and when to disclose it is a potent political weapon. The evidence finally released by President Nixon just prior to his resignation made it abundantly clear that executive privilege had been used not to protect the Presidency, but to hide the misconduct of the President himself.
Cox, "Executive Privilege," 122 U.
[8] As the lower court stated in rejecting Defendants' argument: "The court cannot believe that the legislature intended such an important but odd result....The court cannot believe that the legislature intended such an oblique reference to access to vest the Secretary of State with the expansive authority urged by the State." PC-0002.
[9] See Charles R. Schultz, "Gubernatorial Records: Status, Access, and Content," Paper delivered at the Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting 71-72 (Birmingham, Alabama, August 23, 2002) ("Question 33: Do your state laws exempt all or a portion of the records of the Governor's office from public disclosure for a specific number of years after the Governor leaves office?" Response included only five "yes" answers.). This paper can be found at the website of the Council of State Historical Records Coordinators (COSHRC), www.cohrc.org.
In the MOU, Defendants cite to the "Guidelines for Access to Governor Kean's Official Papers" in support of "ten years" as "a reasonable but brief period in comparison to the 'executive privilege' closing periods used in other jurisdictions." Answer, Exhibit 1 at 2, n.3. The citation is erroneous. Although Governor Kean did establish guidelines for access to his papers (including papers containing private financial information and police investigations), in those guidelines he expressly waived any assertion of executive privilege: "Subject to the exceptions noted above, I waive all claims of legal or executive privilege pertaining to my official papers."
[10] We cannot help but note that Defendants' request for $187,650 is preposterous on its face. Indeed, by their calculation, it will take 6,950 hours to review 150 boxes of documents. Defendants studiously avoid identifying the number of boxes at issue, choosing instead to refer to "cubic feet" of papers, but 150 bankers' boxes is what is at issue here. That means that, according to Defendants, it would take more than a week to index a mere box of documents. It means that, according to Defendants, it would take a person working regular hours about four years to conduct this indexing project.
[11] A typical bankers' box is about one cubic foot, which is the unit of measurement currently utilized by Defendants. Thus, for ease of reference we use the term "boxes" rather than "cubic feet."
[12] It bears mentioning that Mr. Dalton's review for this purpose (59 boxes of documents in one day) stands in stark contrast to the rate of review he previously predicted for the purpose of complying with Defendants' legal obligations under the Public Records Act (less than one box per week).
[13] Defendants' new strategy suggests that they are now refusing to provide the index (contemplated by the court's February 13 decision) of these 59 boxes by virtue of their convenient "renaming" of the documents at this late stage. The lower court has not ruled on the issue.
[14] Based on the sudden shift in stories as well as Dean's remark when he was still a presidential candidate, as recently reported in the Atlantic Monthly, that he would have sooner dropped out of the election than produce the documents because they contain candid political comments, it is difficult not to conclude that Dean knows that some of the documents he has sealed cannot even arguably be considered protected by executive privilege, so rather than admit that fact and make the documents available to the public, the politically convenient tactic is to say they are not even official correspondence anymore.

Some 700 people from all over the world will be taking part in the 5 day Tenerife Walking Festival in March this year. Participants will be based in Puerto de la Cruz to the north of the island and will be able to choose from 15 trails of differing length and difficulty split into three categories – volcanic, coastal and jurassic . There will also be additional activities such as visits to wineries, agricultural fincas, museums, star gazing, a welcome meeting with cocktails and an official closing ceremony.
Amongst other incentives, the Spanish airline Iberia is offering a 15% discount on its flights, and international associations such as ERA (European Ramblers Association), FEDME (Spanish Federation of hiking and FECAMON (the Canary Federation of Mountaineering) have all been actively involved.
In one of his latest blogs, Giovanni Visetti asks why such an event has so far proved impossible to organize here in our area. The Amalfi Coast, the Sorrento Peninsula, Capri and the Monti Lattari offer a rich variety of spectacularly panoramic hikes, with more than enough hotels and B&Bs to accommodate everyone, no lack of transport and many excellent and expert local guides.
Many years ago, realizing that the development of hiking as an incentive to tourism in this area was also dependent on a reliable support network of suitable and convenient accommodation, he developed and presented a project to this effect and sent it to all the relevant local authorities (of which there are many) from Capri to Maiori: mayors, tourist boards, councillors for tourism etc. He received just one reply, from the Director for Tourism of the Province of Naples. Not one of the Sorrento or Amalfi Coast councils even bothered to acknowledge his proposal. More recently, he tried again, proposing something similar to the Tenerife Walking Festival, be it on a smaller scale. Again nothing.
Having failed to enlist the support of the relevant authorities Giovanni then proceeded to organize all by himself, an annual "Inn to Inn" Amalfi – Capri trek (the first was in 2009) which varied in duration from 5 to 7 days with overnight bases in Agerola, Faito and Sant'Agata. Anyone was free (literally) to come along: for just a day, for a couple of days or for as many days as you wanted. There was no registration fee, no guiding fee and all you had to pay for and organize was your accommodation and meals (and here too there were suggestions and special rates).
I was lucky enough to participate in several of these hikes and people came from all over: Australia, USA, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Portugal, Germany and of course Italians from near and far. They were not easy hikes and you needed a good degree of fitness, but they were spectacular, they were fun, you met interesting like-minded people and had the opportunity to walk along trails that you would probably never have found by yourself, all under the expert guidance of Giovanni.
This area has so much to offer a keen hiker. Over the past few years we have seen a certain increase in the number of people (mainly foreigners) walking our trails, some in organised groups, others by themselves, many of them clutching a copy of Giovanni's maps. However if you compare the signage and maintenance of the majority of our paths to those of places like the Balearic Islands and the Canaries, we are sadly lacking. Unfortunately, as Giovanni correctly surmises, there is not sufficient interest, not only from the local governments and their officials, who are often totally unaware of the resources surrounding them, but also from the majority of our hoteliers who are much keener on filling their rooms with the traditional package tourist, sending them off on over-crowded and over-priced day trips to Pompeii, Capri, Vesuvius, Positano and Ravello than trying to develop and expand an alternative form of tourism to which this area would be perfectly suited.

In order to keep your new baby safe, intense baby-proofing of your home must occur before the little bundle of joy arrives. Or so they say. New parents are always amazed, and then afraid, to learn how many different ways a baby can get hurt, and how quickly it can happen. On the other hand, a growing legion of parents have united against the baby-proofing industry on the amount of preparation required, saying it's playing on people's fears for profit. Baby beware By carefully creating a world of imminent baby danger, have these entrepreneurs spawned a race of super-paranoid weirdoes who think nothing of padding coffee tables and locking down toilet seat lids? Heaven help you if one of these locking mechanisms confront you at a party, and you've had about three beers. It's then you'll wonder if a baby...Read more

Providing Skilled Legal Expertise
for 135 Years
There is often a misperception and misunderstanding that once a child reaches the age of 18, he or she is emancipated and the parents are no longer financially responsible. That is true in many States, but not in New Jersey. Instead, in New Jersey, the law takes a minority view and the Courts must look to whether or not there is evidence that the child has "moved beyond the sphere of influence of his or her parents."[i]
In the child support context, emancipation is defined as the time when a child is expected to be self-supporting and the parent is relieved of his or her duty to support the child.[ii]
There is no fixed time when a child is deemed emancipated.[iii]
Children of divorced parents have the right "to be supported at least according to the standard of living to which they had grown accustomed prior to the separation of their parents." A child's right to support is enforceable not only at the insistence of the custodial parent, but at the child's insistence, as well.
The right of child support belongs to the child and not to the parent. Parents cannot waive their obligation to pay child support upon the child's reaching the age of 18.[iv] "It is fundamental that the right to child support belongs to the child and may not be waived by a custodial parent."[v]
Some Examples of Emancipation:
On January 19, 2016, Governor Christie signed S-1046/A-2721 into law. This act establishes the age and other conditions under which child support and/or medical support will end. This law went into effect on February 1, 2017 and applies to all child support orders. Where your divorce agreement is silent on the date of emancipation, when a child reaches the age of 19, a written request for the continuation of support may be required. A failure to respond or properly complete the form may result in negative consequences such as the erroneous emancipation of a child. It is critical to speak with an attorney before completing this paperwork.
Here is the link to the Notice and the protocol provided to attorneys.
Every family is different; often, the issue of emancipation is a "close call." As with all family law matters, the inquiry is extremely fact-sensitive and it is important that you consult with an attorney to discuss your case. Even if you believe the outcome of your application should be obvious, a court may not see your family's situation the same way and the law may be different than you imagine. So much is at stake financially and emotionally, especially as a college education becomes so critical in the current economic climate. If you are involved in a dispute about whether child support should continue, you may need the assistance of an experienced attorney.
Given the complexities involved with Emancipation and Child Support, we advise you to contact one of our experienced family law attorneys at Gebhardt & Kiefer at 908-735-5161. We handle support and family law issues throughout New Jersey.

While it is fairly easy to maintain areas of block paving around your home, it is not entirely easy to maintain and in order to keep your paving looking its best it will need regular cleaning. There are also steps that one could use to prevent problems developing with the block paving and this can make the routine maintenance procedure much easier.
Let us take a look at the five points that will help keep your drive, path or outdoor patio looking fantastic for years to come:
- Hold unwanted weeds at a distance. Unwanted weeds will not expand through the block paving from the surface area below, however they will begin to develop within the joints in between the stones. Treating the area surrounding the joints with weed killer, even if you're yet to discover any weeds, can help stop this problem from developing. Prevention is certainly better than cure in this case, as established weeds is usually tough to move completely once they have taken hold.
- Thoroughly clean the paving frequently. Frequently cleaning your block paving will stop it looking dirty and old. The very best way to clean your paving would be to make up a solution of hot soapy water and to use this solution to the paving using a brush with tough bristles. These bristles can likewise help eliminate particles from the joints.
- Deal with algae as soon as possible. In case you have block paving which is produced from natural stone, then you might encounter problems with algae, and these problems can start to show after just a short amount of time. One of the most reliable methods to deal with algae is to use regular household bleach, and this should be done as soon as you first notice the algae.
- Think about making use of a power washer. Using a power washer can truly improve the look of one's block paving by getting rid of all the grime that has accumulated and help recover the paving to its authentic colour. This isn't a process that should be carried out too often however, as over use of power washers can harm the components that the paving is made from.
- Seal the joints of the paving. For those who have a great deal of issues with weeds and water entering the joints of the paving, then using a sealer could help. This will help protect the joints and could minimize the amount of issues that you have with weeds. It may likewise prolong the life span of your block paving. This web page also has considerably more data in regard to cambridge how much does block paving cost.
Maintaining your block paving doesn't have to be a tough or time consuming job, and the more regularly it is performed, the easier it will be the next time. If you never perform any maintenance on your block paving, then at some time in the future you will start to discover that it doesn't look just like it used to, and the once you get to this aspect, it can be difficult to put things right.


text: Greetings everyone. First, I gotta say, this site is very cool and thanks to all the Ive found a lot of helpful advice. Anyway, Im originally from Australia, but now living in Nagoya, Japan. Im working there and playing in an original band on weekends. Ive been playing bass for about 20 years, and played in quite a few original and covers bands. Ive done everything from metal, hard rock, blues, funk, acid jazz and everything else. My favourite is playing rock, in its many forms. There is a lot of music going on over here, Japan is the second biggest market after the U.S. There are also a lot of good music shops and a big selection of stuff available. Equipment is cheaper here than in Australia, but not as cheap as the U.S. except for possibly Fender Japan and other Japanese brands. Anyway, this site rocks, cheers everyone! shuriken

In 2003 he finishes his studies in Madrid and in 2004 starts working independently. He uses his wide range of learning experience and starts carrying out orders of diverse nature. His collaboration with some major Spanish media companies gradually increases and for some years he develops a great part of his work in the fields of still photography and portrait, an area of special interest to him.
In 2009, as he was tired of the professional environment and there was a lack of time to execute other projects, and to travel and ski, he temporarily stops working on sets in a regular basis. Since then he decides to settle in the mountains and to portray at his own pace.
He is currently based in Revelstoke, British Columbia, and carries out specific assignments –mainly portrait and editorial photography– with a documentary approach.
