We all know Warriors have successfully changed the way a lot of us look at basketball. It use to be go big or go home so players like Shaq, Tim Duncan, and even Dwight Howard, well way back in the day Dwight Howard. But the Warriors had everyone thinking about going small, gaining speed and three-point accuracy. I am not a fan of the Warriors for obvious reason but, it is amazing to see how not only the team has evolved, but how the game has also evolved because of them. But apparently the Warriors we know and love…or Hate depending on who you are…were almost not a thing.

This Piemontese dish makes perfect sense in the bitter cold of an Italian mountain winter, in fact, it literally means 'hot bath'. When you break it down, it's simply a warm sauce of anchovy, garlic and butter into which it's a real joy to dunk, well, anything. In this instance, we offered the freshest-available seasonal veg, which got the privilege of the warm and welcoming bagna cauda. This was made for an event we did with Nyetimber.
Serves 10 as a canapé or 4-6 as a starter
Bagna cauda
250ml Nyetimber Classic Cuvée or milk
½ head garlic, cloves peeled and whole
125g anchovy fillets, roughly chopped
250g unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Choose the freshest and most seasonal vegetables and leaves for whichever time of year you are making this. Many things work very well raw, others need to be blanched or roasted to make them more enjoyable.
Vegetables that work very well are:
Jerusalem artichokes
Robust salad such as radicchio, chicory, little gem
Place the sparkling wine (or milk) and garlic cloves in a pan, bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 minutes until the wine is almost reduced and the garlic is very soft. A little pressure with a wooden spoon or a potato masher should receive no resistance from the garlic.
Whilst you wait for the wine and garlic to reduce, prepare your vegetables. They are all going to be served at room temperature, so don't worry about keeping them warm.
Mash the garlic with a potato masher until you have a thick puree. Over a low heat, add the anchovies and stir so until they melt into the warm mixture.
When they've disappeared, slowly start whisking in the cold butter, a couple of cubes at a time, only adding the next handful when the previous has been incorporated. It can split at this point so don't rush and enjoy the process.
Once all the butter has been incorporated, take off the heat. The anchovies will mean you don't need any more salt, but add a little pepper and a splash of vinegar (if using milk) to slightly lift the sauce. Serve immediately with the vegetables.

Valerie Smith-Davis, a hard-working wife and a mother to a 3-year-old girl, searched for affordable healthcare options and thought she would never find a solution! She works full-time as a case manager, but her employer does not offer health benefits. Then, Alliance came along...
"I am so grateful to have healthcare and access to good physicians!" She is from New York and had always associated clinics with the stereotype -- below-average healthcare. "But Alliance is nothing like that! It is a great alternative," she said. And the best part about finding us? "They made it easy for me to get the care that I needed. I didn't have to jump through hoops to gain access to healthcare." Valerie, that's what we're here for! We're ecstatic to have the opportunity to serve such sweet, appreciative and hard-working people!
Since coming to Alliance, Valerie and her husband have been able to address problems, access medications and manage their overall health. She has received pastoral care and counseling to work on making her health and herself a priority, reduce stress and relax more. Valerie has learned new ways to use her breathing to let stress out of her body. She has also worked with Dr. Lewis on diet, exercise and weight loss. This has helped her to manage her blood pressure without medication, which is important to someone with as much independence and perseverance as Valerie!
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return! Thank you for loving us, Valerie.

As an engineer, you're very likely utilising Excel basically every single day. It doesn't matter what field you may be in; Excel is applied All over the place in engineering. Excel is a massive plan having a lot of wonderful potential, but how do you know if you are utilizing it to its fullest capabilities? These 9 points will help you start to get one of the most from Excel for engineering. 1. Convert Units with out External Tools If you are like me, you probably operate with completely different units day by day. It is 1 of the terrific annoyances on the engineering daily life. But, it's end up substantially significantly less annoying because of a perform in Excel which will do the grunt do the job for you personally: CONVERT. It is syntax is: Desire to master much more about state-of-the-art Excel methods? Observe my absolutely free training only for engineers. While in the three-part video series I will explain to you easy methods to resolve complex engineering issues in Excel. Click here to get begun. CONVERT(quantity, from_unit, to_unit) Exactly where number stands out as the worth which you need to convert, from_unit stands out as the unit of quantity, and to_unit may be the resulting unit you'd like to acquire. Now, you'll no longer really have to visit outside tools to find conversion things, or difficult code the components into your spreadsheets to induce confusion later on. Just allow the CONVERT function do the work for you. You will find a total list of base units that Excel recognizes as "from_unit" and "to_unit" right here (warning: not all units are available in earlier versions of Excel), but you can even utilize the perform a number of times to convert much more complicated units which can be standard in engineering.
2. Use Named Ranges to generate Formulas Simpler to know Engineering is tough ample, without any making an attempt to determine what an equation like (G15+$C$4)/F9-H2 signifies. To remove the pain connected with Excel cell references, use Named Ranges to create variables you can use inside your formulas.
Not only do they make it simpler to enter formulas into a spreadsheet, however they make it Much easier to know the formulas as soon as you or another person opens the spreadsheet weeks, months, or many years later.
One can find a few other ways to create Named Ranges, but these two are my favorites:
For "one-off" variables, choose the cell that you simply would like to assign a variable identify to, then type the identify of your variable during the title box within the upper left corner of your window (beneath the ribbon) as shown over. In case you need to assign variables to a lot of names at when, and have already integrated the variable name in the column or row next on the cell containing the worth, do that: Primary, pick the cells containing the names and the cells you want to assign the names. Then navigate to Formulas>Defined Names>Create from Choice. When you desire to learn about a lot more, you could go through all about generating named ranges from choices right here. Would you like to learn even more about state-of-the-art Excel methods? Watch my absolutely free, three-part video series just for engineers. In it I'll show you how to fix a complex engineering challenge in Excel utilizing some of these methods and much more. Click here to have started. three. Update Charts Automatically with Dynamic Titles, Axes, and Labels To create it straightforward to update chart titles, axis titles, and labels you can link them straight to cells. For those who have to have for making quite a lot of charts, this will be a true time-saver and could also potentially enable you to keep clear of an error when you fail to remember to update a chart title. To update a chart title, axis, or label, very first generate the text that you just want to comprise in a single cell around the worksheet. You'll be able to use the CONCATENATE perform to assemble text strings and numeric cell values into complex titles. Following, pick the component on the chart. Then visit the formula bar and style "=" and choose the cell containing the text you desire to work with.
Now, the chart part will instantly when the cell worth adjustments. You can get creative here and pull all varieties of information in to the chart, without having possessing to get worried about painstaking chart updates later on. It's all performed immediately!
4. Hit the Target with Purpose Seek Typically, we set up spreadsheets to determine a outcome from a series of input values. But what if you've done this within a spreadsheet and wish to know what input worth will obtain a preferred outcome?
You could rearrange the equations and make the previous result the new input plus the outdated input the brand new result. You can also just guess on the input till you realize the target result. Luckily however, neither of these are vital, due to the fact Excel features a tool known as Purpose Seek out to accomplish the job for you.
Initially, open the Purpose Seek device: Data>Forecast>What-If Analysis>Goal Look for. During the Input for "Set Cell:", choose the result cell for which you realize the target. In "To Value:", enter the target value. Finally, in "By changing cell:" pick the single input you'd probably want to modify to alter the consequence. Decide on Ok, and Excel iterates to find the proper input to achieve the target. 5. Reference Information Tables in Calculations One of your points which makes Excel an incredible engineering instrument is it happens to be capable of managing the two equations and tables of information. And you also can combine these two functionalities to produce potent engineering models by looking up data from tables and pulling it into calculations. You're in all probability previously acquainted with the lookup functions VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP. In many circumstances, they'll do everything you require.
However, if you should want far more flexibility and higher handle in excess of your lookups use INDEX and MATCH as a substitute. These two functions permit you to lookup information in any column or row of the table (not just the first 1), and also you can management no matter if the worth returned will be the next greatest or smallest. You can also use INDEX and MATCH to execute linear interpolation on a set of data. This is often completed by taking benefit on the flexibility of this lookup solution to discover the x- and y-values promptly just before and after the target x-value.
6. Accurately Match Equations to Data A different technique to use present information within a calculation should be to match an equation to that data and use the equation to find out the y-value for a provided value of x. Most people know how to extract an equation from data by plotting it on a scatter chart and adding a trendline. That's Ok for receiving a easy and dirty equation, or recognize what kind of perform best fits the information. Yet, if you happen to prefer to use that equation with your spreadsheet, you'll desire to enter it manually. This may result in mistakes from typos or forgetting to update the equation when the information is transformed. A better solution to get the equation will be to utilize the LINEST function. It is an array function that returns the coefficients (m and b) that define the best match line via a data set. Its syntax is:
LINEST(known_y's, [known_x's], [const], [stats])
In which: known_y's is definitely the array of y-values inside your data, known_x's stands out as the array of x-values, const is really a logical worth that tells Excel if to force the y-intercept for being equal to zero, and stats specifies regardless of whether to return regression statistics, such as R-squared, etc.
LINEST could very well be expanded past linear information sets to carry out nonlinear regression on data that fits polynomial, exponential, logarithmic and electrical power functions. It can even be utilized for various linear regression at the same time.
seven. Save Time with User-Defined Functions Excel has a lot of built-in functions at your disposal by default. But, in case you are like me, there are actually a lot of calculations you end up engaging in repeatedly that really do not have a specified function in Excel. They're wonderful situations to create a User Defined Perform (UDF) in Excel using Visual Essential for Applications, or VBA, the built-in programming language for Workplace items.
Do not be intimidated once you study "programming", even though. I'm NOT a programmer by trade, but I use VBA all the time to increase Excel's capabilities and conserve myself time. When you just want to discover to make Consumer Defined Functions and unlock the massive likely of Excel with VBA, click here to read about how I developed a UDF from scratch to calculate bending worry.
8. Carry out Calculus Operations Any time you suppose of Excel, you may not believe "calculus". But if you will have tables of information you'll be able to use numerical evaluation solutions to calculate the derivative or integral of that data.
These similar primary systems are utilized by additional complex engineering software package to complete these operations, and they are quick to duplicate in Excel.
To determine derivatives, you can use the both forward, backward, or central distinctions. Each of these methods employs data through the table to calculate dy/dx, the sole variations are which data points are employed for your calculation.
For forward variations, make use of the information at stage n and n+1 For backward variations, utilize the information at points n and n-1 For central variations, use n-1 and n+1, as shown under
In the event you need to have to integrate data in the spreadsheet, the trapezoidal rule performs well. This procedure calculates the location under the curve involving xn and xn+1. If yn and yn+1 are unique values, the region types a trapezoid, consequently the name.
9. Troubleshoot Lousy Spreadsheets with Excel's Auditing Equipment Just about every engineer has inherited a "broken" spreadsheet. If it is from a co-worker, you could often ask them to repair it and send it back. But what in the event the spreadsheet originates from your boss, or worse but, someone that is no longer with all the business?
Typically, this will be a actual nightmare, but Excel gives you some resources which will help you to straighten a misbehaving spreadsheet. Every of these equipment could be found in the Formulas tab within the ribbon, in the Formula Auditing area:
When you can see, you'll find several different equipment right here. I'll cover two of them.
Very first, you possibly can use Trace Dependents to find the inputs to your picked cell. This could help you track down exactly where all the input values are coming from, if it's not evident.
A lot of times, this may lead you to the supply of the error all by itself. When you finally are done, click take away arrows to clean the arrows from your spreadsheet.
You may also make use of the Evaluate Formula instrument to calculate the outcome of a cell - 1 phase at a time. This is often beneficial for all formulas, but in particular for those that have logic functions or a lot of nested functions:
10. BONUS TIP: Use Information Validation to prevent Spreadsheet Mistakes Here's a bonus tip that ties in with all the last a single. (Any individual who gets ahold of one's spreadsheet within the long term will enjoy it!) If you are building an engineering model in Excel and you notice that there is an opportunity for that spreadsheet to generate an error thanks to an improper input, you'll be able to limit the inputs to a cell by utilizing Data Validation.
Allowable inputs are: Total numbers greater or under a amount or among two numbers Decimals greater or less than a quantity or amongst two numbers Values within a listing Dates Times Text of the Certain Length An Input that Meets a Custom Formula Information Validation could be uncovered beneath Data>Data Resources while in the ribbon.

Mrs. Ria Marshall-Ghust of Henry, Henry & Bristol of Counsel for the Claimant
Mr. Henry Paryag of Counsel for the Defendants
The Claimant and the Second-Defendant being present. The First and Third Defendants being absent.
2018: May 10, 23; 30.
Private Nuisance – Mandatory interim injunction – Test for the grant of mandatory injunction – Least risk of injustice if injunction is granted – Mandatory interim injunction amounting to a final relief – Special circumstances must be shown – Delay-
w hether disgorges exercise of court's discretion
[1] DYER, J. (Ag): This is another chapter in the dispute between the Claimant/Applicant ("Mr. Bristol") and the Defendants who are neighbours. Mr. Bristol is by this application, which was filed on the 23rd January
, 2018, seeking:-
(i) An injunction restraining the Defendants, whether by themselves or by their servants or agents or howsoever otherwise form entering Mr. Bristol's property which is in boundary with the First Defendant's property, from cutting, trimming any trees or bushes thereon and from committing any act of trespass of any nature whatsoever on Mr. Bristol's property; and
(ii) A mandatory injunction requiring the Defendants to within 30 days construct a concrete drain along the eastern boundary of the First
Preliminary matters
[2] The application was made without notice but was heardinter partes. When the application came on for hearing on the 10 th May 2018, the Second Defendant ("Mr. Jolly") and the Third Defendant ("Mrs. Jolly") (hereinafter both referred to as "the Jollys") were present but their counsel Mr. Paryag was absent. The Jollys are husband and wife and occupy the First Defendant's house at L'Anse Aux Epines. The First Defendant is their daughter. The First Defendant was also absent as she apparently resides in the UK. The Jollys made an oral application for a 7 day adjournment of the hearing on the ground that their attorney had an accident earlier on that day and was unable to attend the hearing. Th
e application was opposed by Mrs. Marshall-Ghust. Having heard the parties I was , in the circumstances, minded to grant the short adjournment sought. I was however of the view that the status quo ante should be maintained until such time that the application could be heard. I therefore enquired as to whether the Jollys were aware of the nature of application which was before me. Mrs. Jolly, who was authorized by her husband to speak on his behalf, informed me that they were present for the hearing of the injunction. Whilst the Jollys disputed that they had trespassed on Mr. Bristol's property, they were prepared to give certain undertakings to the Court which essentially disposed of the first part of Mr. Bristol's application.
[3] I had reservations regarding whether the Court could grant the
(positive) mandatory injunctive relief sought by Mr. Bristol as interim relief since it amounted to final relief and was being sought by him on his substantive claim . I accordingly directed that he was to file skeleton arguments on this issue . The matter was adjourned to the 23rd May , 2018 for arguments. The Jollys undertook to inform Mr. Paryag of the orders made by the Court.
[4] The matter came on for further consideration on the 23rd May 2018. Mr. Bristol and his counsel Mrs. Mashall-Ghust were present thereat. Mr. Jolly was also present but his counsel Mr. Paryag was tardy. Mrs. Jolly was absent because according to Mr. Jolly she had fallen ill the night before and couldn't walk. The
record revealed that the application was seemingly unopposed since no evidence in opposition was filed by the Defendants. When Mr. Paryag eventually appeared he informed the Court that he had prepared an affidavit in opposition but that Mrs. Jolly was unable to swear same in light of her illness. I t is of note that based on Mr. Jolly's earlier statements to the court, Mrs. Jolly had fallen ill the night before. Mr. Paryag therefore seemingly intended to file the Defendants' evidence in opposition on the morning of hearing. Any such last-minute filing would have been entirely unacceptable since Mr. Bristol's application was filed in late January 2018. It bears repeating that parties are under a duty to assist this Court in furthering the overriding objective of the CPR 2000.
[5] Mr. Paryag also
sought to explain the Defendant's failure to file their evidence in opposition on the ground that he had not been served with the application and affidavit in support. Even if this were so, Mr. Paryag based on his earlier indications to the Court that the evidence was in final form, was clearly aware of the contents of Mr. Bristol's application. How else would he have been in a position to prepare a response thereto? It i n any case later became clear that the application was personally served on the Jollys on the 25th January 2018 [1] because Mr. Paryag was no longer available at the address on the record for service. The Defendants had however failed to provide details of their new address for service in accordance with Rule 3.11(3) of the CPR 2000. The litigation being that of the Defendants, the y were under a duty to bring the documents served on them to the attention of their counsel. Mr. Paryag did not seek an adjournment of the matter, and right so, as the Court would not have been minded in the circumstances to accede to any such request
The Facts & Procedural History
[6] The nature of this case and the procedural history can be gleaned from the pleadings. The latter comes into focus because at the hearing Mrs. Marshall-Ghust relied on same in seeking to explain Mr. Bristol's delay of approximately 2 years and 7 months in filing this application. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust also submitted that Mr. Bristol's delay was due to the fact that the expert evidence which confirmed
Mr. Bri stol's claim as to the inadequacy of the drainage and the sewage issue was received in June 2017. I propose to deal with the issue of delay later in this judgment.
[7] Mr. Bristol commenced this action, which was initially for nuisance for damage caused to his property, on the 29th May 2015 by filing a claim form. The relief sought includes a prayer for damages and for an injunction requiring the Defendants to construct such drainage as is necessary to collect runoff water from the First Defendant's lot to the natural water course to the east of and below Mr. Bristol's lot. The gravamen of Mr. Bristol's claim is that this nuisance was caused by the construction of a house and driveway on the First Defendant's lot in or about 2014. Mr. Bristol avers that as a result of the construction and the resultant redirection of the water from the First Defendant's property, his property now floods and such flooding threatens the security of same. It is Mr. Bristol's pleaded case that the flooding is extraordinary and only began after the construction and that it never occurred before even during heavy rainfall.
[8] Mr. Bristol amended his claim in June 2016. He asserts therein that the Defendants
had caused a mud drain to be dug along the east boundary of the First Defendant's property which he says is not only ineffective but also causes stagnant water deposits, which are a hazard that encourage breeding of carrier pests such as mosquitoes. Mr. Bristol also avers that he had employed the services of Construction & Construction Support Services in February 2016 to analyze the water flowing onto his property from the First Defendant's lot. The samples collected were tested by the National Water & Sewage Authority who concluded that the said water was contaminated by sewage or water directly influenced by agricultural or industrial processes. Mr. Bristol further avers that the First Defendant's septic tank and leach filed are within 5 feet of the boundary between his lot and the First Defendant's resulting in sewage from the First Defendant's lot entering his lot.
[9] The Jollys caused an amended defence to be filed herein wherein they essentially deny that they
had caused the nuisance as alleged by Mr. Bristol and put him to strict proof.
[10] The matter came on for case management on the 27th September 2016 and on the 29th November 2016. The first case management conference ("CMC") was adjourned because the First Defendant was yet to be served and there was no proof that the Jollys had been served with notice of the CMC. The second CMC was also adjourned because Mr. Bristol through his counsel requested and was granted a further opportunity to serve the First Defendant. The matter was adjourned on this occasion to January 2017 for further case management. It appears that the First Defendant was served in the intervening period since Mr. Paryag appeared as counsel for all of the Defendants at the further CMC held on the 23 rd January 2017. Thereat Mr. Bristol made an oral application for permission to call an expert. This application was refused by the Court on the ground that Rule 32.6 of the CPR 2000 anticipates a written application. Case management directions were given. On the 10 th February 2017 Mr. Bristol applied for permission to call Mr. Terrence Smith as an expert. On the 27th February 2017 Mr. Bristol also sought permission to call Mr. Hugh Thomas as an expert. Leave was granted by the Court on the 9th March 2017 to adduce such expert evidence. Mr. Thomas' report was to be filed on or before 9 th May 2017 and Mr. Smith's report was to be filed on or before 9th June 2017. Both expert reports were filed within the time limited by the Court.
The Evidence
[11] Mr. Bristol adduced an affidavit in support of his application at bar. He relies therein on certain parts of his Witness Statement and also the Expert Report of Terrence Smith. Ms. Marshall-Ghust also referenced Mr. Thomas' expert report at the hearing.
[12] In a nutshell Mr. Bristol says that on Thursday 18th January 2018, he returned from work at about 3 p.m. Upon alighting from his car his gardener approached him in an agitated state and told him that some men who were working for the Defendants were cutting trees in his property just over the common boundary between his property and the First Defendant's. On the following day, at about 8:15 a.m. he heard some chopping at the back of his house. He went to the boundary between the respective properties and observed inter alia that a lot of trees had been cut and heavy stream of water was coming from the First Defendant's property "as it has always done." [2] Mr. Bristol testifies that although a light shower had fallen three hours earlier in the morning, there was constant water coming out from the area of the septic tank soak away.
[13] Mr. Bristol incorporates by reference certain statements in his witness statement which he says are identical to what he stated in his affidavit regarding the constant water coming out form the area of the septic tank soak away. It would have been helpful if the paragraphs being incorporated by reference were indicated in his affidavit in support. Mr. Bristol testifies that despite the Defendants having had notice of the recommendation made by the expert Mr. Smith they have despite their initial promise to construct the drain, [3] continued to permit excessive water and sewage runoff to enter his property. According to Mr. Bristol, Mr. Smith had recommended at paragraph 5.1 of his report that an engineered stormwater drain be constructed on the First Defendant's property to convey flow to an appropriate municipal drain or natural watercourse to prevent the outflow of surface water to Mr. Bristol's property. Mr. Bristol says that he is fearful that sewage runoff entering his property could have serious implications on his health and that of the other occupants of his property. No expert or other cogent evidence was adduced to support his statements in this regard. Mr. Bristol says that the trespass and nuisance will continue unless the Defendants are restrained. Mr. Bristol avers that he is accordingly interim relief as a matter of urgency. No certificate of urgency was filed Mr. Bristol. Mr. Bristol did not say the circumstances which made the matter urgent. Based on Mr. Bristol's evidence regarding the state of affairs which had necessitated this application, it appears that the only new situation was that the Defendants were now allegedly trespassing on
Mr. Bristol's property.
[14] It is against this backdrop that the application for an interim mandatory injunction came on for hearing and falls to be determined.
The Law on the Grant of Interim Injunctions
[15] The law on interim injunction is well established. It is accepted that the grant of interlocutory relief, whether by way of mandatory injunction or otherwise is entirely discretionary. The Court's jurisdiction to grant such relief stems from section 24 of the West Indies Associated States Supreme Court (Grenada) Act which empowers the court to grant such interim relief if it is " just or convenient" to do so and on such terms as the court thinks fit. The Court in exercising this discretion has adopted the following test which was laid down by the House of Lords in the locus classicus American Cyanamid Co. v. Ethicon [1975] AC 396:-
(i) The first step is for the applicant to show that there is a serious issue to be tried. In short, the claim must have substance. The Applicant must show that he has a real prospect of succeeding in its claim for a permanent injunction at the final trial.
(ii) Once the applicant has established this, the Court consider whether:-
(a) If the applicant were successful at a final trial, damages would be an adequate remedy; and
(b) If the respondent were successful at trial, damages under a cross-undertaking to pay damages by the applicant in return for an interim injunction would be an adequate remedy. If damages would be an adequate remedy and the applicant would be in a financial position to meet the cross-undertaking there would be no reason to refuse the interim injunction.
(iii) If there is any doubt as to the adequacy of the remedy of damages to either or both of the parties, the court must consider the balance of convenience and the individual facts of the case. In weighing up the various factors, the fundamental objective of the court is to take the course which ultimately involves the least risk of injustice, should the court's decision to grant or refuse an injunction turn out to be wrong.
(iv) Where the factors are evenly balanced, the courts have been inclined to preserve the status quo.
Principles for granting Mandatory Injunctions
[16] In the submissions filed herein Mrs. Marshall-Ghust submits that the principles for granting a mandatory injunction are the same as for a prohibitory injunction. It is, with the greatest of respect to counsel, well established that mandatory injunctions on interim applications are viewed in a slightly different light to prohibitory injunctions. [4] Courts are generally reluctant to grant mandatory injunctions as they are, by their nature, likely to be harsh and instructive. As such they will usually only be granted at an interim stage where there are special circumstances: [5]
see Parker v. Camden London Borough Council [1986] Ch 162 (CA).
[17] InNottingham Building Society v Eurodynamics Systems Ltd [1993
} FSR 468 Chadwick J set out the law governing the grant of an interlocutory mandatory injunction in the following terms, which were approved by the Court of Appeal in Zockoll Group Limited v Mercury Communications Ltd :-
" First, this being an interlocutory matter, the over-riding consideration is which course is likely to involve the least risk of injustice if it turns out to be 'wrong' in the sense described by Hoffman J.
Secondly, in considering whether to grant a mandatory injunction, the court must keep in mind that an order which requires a party to take some positive steps at an interlocutory stage may well carry a greater risk of injustice if it turns out to have been wrongly made than an order which merely prohibits action , thereby preserving the status quo.
Thirdly, it is legitimate, where a mandatory injunction is sought, to consider whether the court does feel a high degree of assurance that the plaintiff will be able to establish this right at trial. That is because the greater the degree of assurance the plaintiff will ultimately establish his right; the less will be the risk of injustice if the injunction is granted.
But, finally, even where the court is unable to feel any high degree of assurance that the plaintiff will establish his right, there may still be circumstances in which it is appropriate to grant a mandatory injunction at an interlocutory stage. Those circumstances will exist where the risk of injustice if this injunction is refused sufficiently outweigh the risk of injustice if it is granted ". (My emphasis)
[18] This test for mandatory injunctions was cited with approval by our Court of Appeal in Antigua Aggregates Limited v The Attorney General of Antigua & Barbuda and Antigua Commercial Bank HCVAP 2009/003. It was also cited with approval in the BVI case Elisabeth Robertson v. Christina Washburn et al Claim No. BVIHCV 2011/0158.
[19] Mr. Bristol's application at bar was framed to satisfy the test for interim injunctions. It was not framed to satisfy the test for mandatory injunctions. This was
however an incomplete approach as the relief he seeks is a positive mandatory injunction on a interim basis. The authorities establish that the practice of granting interim relief which amounts to a final relief is deprecated. It should only be granted in exceptional cases where damage cannot be repaired. One would have therefore reasonably expected the evidence in support to be marshalled to establish that the circumstances of this case are exceptional and that the damage alleged by Mr. Bristol cannot be repaired. It is for this reason that Mrs. Marshall-Ghust was directed to file submissions to assist the court in determining this application.
Whether Mr. Bristol's claim raises serious issue(s) to be tried
[20] I must bear in mind in determining this issue that having regard to the nature of the appliation, I am not called upon to decide whether Mr. Bristol will succeed at trial. I am only to decide whether he has a good arguable case for a claim in nuisance, namely one with a realistic as opposed to a fanciful chance of success. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust essentially says that the justice and convenience of the grant of interlocutory relief in the instant case is established by the danger to Mr. Bristol and the occupants of his property . She submitted that Mr. Bristol in reliance on evidence of the experts Mr. Thomas and Mr. Smith has made out a good arguable case that the conduct or activity complained of constitutes an actionable wrong. She submitted that this evidence establishes that:-
(i) Mr. Bristol's property is being adversely affected by the water and sewage run off from the First Defendant's property;
(ii) There is an undermining of Mr. Bristol's property;
(iii) During rainy periods Mr. Bristol's lawn is saturated with water and sewage; and
(iv) The sewage creates a hazard to health.
Expert Evidence
[21] Mrs. Marshall-Ghust referred the Court to the Percolation Report of Mr. Thomas, who is a geologist and soils expert. This Report reveals that a percolation test was carried out on the First Defendant's property on 6th and 7 th May 2017. Mr. Smith, was present when this test was conducted. Mr. Thomas opine
d at paragraph 3 inter alia that:-
(i) the soil at the location of the septic system drain field could be categorized as clayey sand;
(ii) one of the characteristics of such sandy soil is that they drain quickly;
(iii) the land was excavated to situate the building;
(iv) the hard impermeable bedrock at the location of the septic system drain field is estimated to be at depths of 1 m to 1.5 m at the location of the percolation hole. This is an effective barrier to liquid penetration; and
(v) this means that the soil layer is not deep. Subsurface drainage will be shallow at this location.
[22] Mrs. Marshall-Ghust also referred the Court to the Expert Report of Mr. Terrence Smith who is a civil engineer. It is of note that Mr. Smith was asked to opine on "[w]hether the surface water drainage system on the Campbell Lot is adequate to prevent flooding on the Bristol Lot ." Mr. Smith relies on Mr. Thomas' findings and his own assessment and concludes at paragraph 5 that:-
(i) the high proportion of the First Defendant's Lot with impermeable cover will result in substantial volumes of stormwater runoff to the eastern end of the property, particularly during extreme rainfall events in the rainy season when the permeable ground area is saturated;
(ii) the earthen drain at the eastern end of the First Defendant's Lot is inadequate in size and continuity to prevent the overflow of surface water to the First Defendant's Lot; and
(iii) this problem can be addressed by constructing an engineered stormwater drain which can convey flow to an appropriate municipal drain or natural watercourse.
[23] In response Mr. Paryag in short submitted that this is not an appropriate case for the grant of a mandatory injunction. He maintained that Mr. Bristol heavily relies on the expert evidence but the expert evidence doesn't say that the nuisance was caused by the Defendants. As aforementioned, the Defendants dispute that the nuisance is caused by them. It is however settled law that (i) a private nuisance may also arise from mere existence of a state of affairs on a person's land, where that person allows the state of affairs to continue; [6] and (ii) liability in nuisance lies where the defendant possesses and controls the land from which the nuisance proceed. It is however undesirable that this Court should become too involved with this issue at this stage.
The Law on Private Nuisance
[24] These contending submissions must be considered against the backdrop of the legal principles governing the law of nuisance. In Coventry and others v Lawrence and another [2014] UKSC 13 a nuisance was defined by the UK Supreme Court as " an action, or sometimes a failure to act, on the part of a defendant, which is not otherwise authorized, and which causes an interference with the claimant ' s reasonable enjoyment of his land, or to use a slightly different formulation, which unduly interferes with the claimant ' s enjoyment of his land ." (My emphasis)
[25] Closer to home, in the Vincentian case Fitzroy Mc Kree v. John Lewis Civil Suit No. 88 of 1999 Mitchell J (as he then was) cited with approval the following learning from Clerk & Lindsell on Torts:-
"A private nuisance may be and usually is caused by a person doing on his own land something which he is lawfully entitled to do. His conduct only becomes a nuisance when the consequences of his acts are not confined to his own land but extend to the land of his neighbour by (1) causing an encroachment on his neighbour's land, when it closely resembles t respass, (2) causing physical damage to his neighbour's land or buildings or works or vegetation upon it, or (3) unduly interfering with his neighbour in the comfortable and convenient enjoyment of his land.
… Nuisances of the second kind, causing physical damage to land or to something erected or growing upon it, occur when a man allows a drain on his own land to become blocked or makes a concrete paved drive so that the water overflows onto his neighbour's land, maintains a mound of earth or other artificial erection on his own land so as to cause damp to enter his neighbour's land, works the mines under his own land so as to cause the surface of his neighbour's land to subside, a llows buildings upon his land to become dilapidated so that they, or parts of them, fall upon his neighbour's land, sets up vibrations on his own land which cause damage to his neighbour's buildings, or emits noxious fumes from his land which damage his neighbour's crops or trees ."
[26] The nuisance alleged by Mr. Bristol in this case falls within the ambit of the second kind. Without making any definitive finding on the substantive case, having regard to the evidence and in particular the expert evidence I am satisfied that Mr. Bristol has established that there are serious issues to be tried in this matter with regard to the alleged nuisance. Mr. Paryag in any case conceded at the hearing that " there are serious legal issues as to the cause and creation of the nuisance ." He however maintained that they are issues for trial. I accept that it is not the Court's role to determine same at this stage.
Whether damages are an adequate remedy
[27] It is clear from Mr. Bristol's pleadings that he does not consider damages to be an adequate remedy in that he seeks not only damages but also a mandatory injunction. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust submitted in her written submissions that if the flooding is not remedied immediately there will be irreparable damage to Mr. Bristol's property which cannot be compensated. No cogent evidence was adduced by Mr. Bristol to support this bald assertion regarding the irreparable damage to his property if the flooding is not remedied immediately.
[28] From my own research I unearthed the BVI case Elisabeth Robertson v. Christina Washburn et al Claim No. BVIHCV 2011/0158 wherein a mandatory injunction was granted on an interim application. The Respondents in that case undertook excavations on their property to construct a driveway. The Claimant who is their neighbor filed proceedings wherein she alleged that this resulted in the undermining of portions of her land thereby causing damage to it. Prior to the filing of this action the parties attempted to resolve the dispute with the assistance of their counsel. The Respondents commenced building a retaining wall but never completed it. A joint site inspection was arranged with personnel from the Public Works Department and the Town and Country Planning Department. During the inspection the Second Respondent agreed to resume the construction of the retaining wall but failed to do so. The Claimant then applied for a mandatory injunction for the Respondents to complete the construction of their land. The Claimant in her evidence in support referred to three reports providing details of the erosion issues facing her land. The Respondents also adduced expert evidence which the Court found supported the existence of instability on the Claimant's land.Elisabeth Robertson v. Christina Washburn et al is distinguishable from this case in that there was cogent evidence as to the existence of instability on the Claimant's land. I should also indicate for completeness that the question of delay was not raised in that case.
[29] Based on the authorities Mr. Bristol's failure to adduce cogent evidence in this regard is fatal as the onus is on him to establish that
the damage cannot be repaired. I am in the absence of such cogent evidence unable to find that if Mr. Bristol were to succeed at the trial, damages would be an inadequate remedy as the damage cannot be repaired. If I am wrong on this point, I will address the balance of convenience/greater risk of injustice.
Balance of Convenience/Least Risk of Injustice if Injunction is wrongly granted
[30] Mrs. Marshall-Ghust submitted at the hearing that Mr. Bristol was seeking the Court's intervention because of the onset of the rainy season. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust also submitted that Mr. Bristol's land cannot be restored if further destabilization/undermining occurs over the upcoming rainy/hurricane season. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust relies on Mr. Bristol's bald assertion in his affidavit evidence that the water and sewage from the First Defendant's property is flooding his property but also destabilizing it and creating a health hazard. As aforementioned, unlike in Elisabeth Robertson v. Christina Washburn et al Mr. Bristol has not adduced any expert evidence or otherwise in the application at bar to support his assertion that his property is being destabilized .
It is also of note that " the engineered stormwater drain" was recommended by Mr. Smith as a solution to only the flooding issue and not to the sewage issue. I am fortified in this view as Mr. Smith opines at paragraph 5.2(c) of his Report that the sewage problem " can be addressed by a competent wastewater professional and, at a minimum by routing all wastewater to the septic tank ." According to Mr. Smith "[ t]here is a misguided practice in Grenada of routing residential greywater to surface drains as a means of reducing the flow to the septic tank. This practice actually reduces the efficiency of wastewater treatment, and results in untreated greywater being applied to the ground surface, usually in close proximity to the building ." Based on this expert evidence, the interim mandatory injunction sought by Mr. Bristol will not abate the nuisance which he says is caused by the sewage problem.
[32] An issue arose at the hearing as to whether the engineered stormwater drain recommended by Mr. Smith to abate the nuisance by water is to be a concrete drain or an earthen drain. This issue arose because the Court
in reviewing Mr. Smith's Report invited Mrs. Marshall-Ghust to point it to where Mr. Smith recommendation that the drain should be a concrete one. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust conceded that Mr. Smith did not say that it should be a concrete drain. She however contended that it can be inferred that (i) the drain cannot be left as an earthen one given that it would be inadequate for the flow of water; and (ii) an engineered stormwater drain cannot be an earthen drain. Mr. Paryag contended in response that Mr. Smith does not say that a properly constructed earthen drain cannot deal with the nuisance by water issue. Whilst it cannot be disputed that the expert evidence establishes that the present drain is inadequate, I accept that Mr. Smith does not say t hat it cannot be left as an earthen one as Mrs. Marshall-Ghust contends. In my view, this Court having authorized the calling of expert evidence should not be left to infer or speculate as to the meaning of " engineered stormwater drain". This is entirely a matter for the expert and not for submissions from the bar table. Rule 32.8 of the CPR 2000 permits written questions to be put to an expert and such course ought to have been employed by the parties.
[33] This Court in weighing the various factors in order to determine where the greater risk of injustice lies must also consider whether the mandatory injunction sought by Mr. Bristol is the sole or best interim remedy available in the circumstances. This Court has the power under Part 38 of the CPR 2000 to dispense with the pre-trial review which is to be held shortly before the trial and to give any other direction that will assist in the speedy and just trial of a claim: see Rule 27.6(3) of the CPR 2000. I accordingly invited the parties to address me whether an order for an expedited trial would be an adequate remedy. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust conceded that it could be but she questioned whether it could be achieved in light of the present situation with the Court. Mrs. Marshall-Ghust also submitted that even if the trial were expedited the Defendants would be able to appeal. It is of note that but for the adjournment of the pre-trial review (which Mrs. Marshall-Ghust says was one of the reasons why Mr. Bristol filed the application at bar) Mr. Bristol would have been content to await the outcome of the trial and any ensuing appeals. I would perhaps be appropriate for me to deal with the question of delay at this juncture.
[34] It is generally accepted that an applicant seeking an equitable relief must do so promptly. If he does not he must give an explanation in his evidence in support. No such explanation was provided by Mr. Bristol. In First Montana Services Limited v. Best Concrete Corporation AXAHCV 2007/0053 George-Creque J (as she then was) stated thus:-
"… in the absence of a most cogent explanation … the injunction ought to be refused as apart from other considerations an inference to be drawn from insufficiently explained tardiness is that the urgency and gravity of the applicant's case are less than compelling ."
Mr. Bristol ought to have explained his delay as he
[35] Mrs. Marshall-Ghust belatedly sought to explain Mr. Bristol's tardiness from the bar table. She submitted that Mr. Bristol did not receive the expert evidence which confirmed his assertions regarding the inadequacy of the drainage and sewage issue until the 8th June 2017. It is of note that Mr. Bristol did not seek the leave of the court to file such expert evidence until February 2017 which was 1 year and 9 months after he filed his claim. His applications were heard in early March 2017 and he was granted the permission he sought.
[36] Mrs. Marshall-Ghust in response to a comment by the Court that the expert evidence was available in June 2017 but he waited some six months to file this application indicated that it was not the rainy season. Whilst no evidence has been adduced as to when the rainy season begins and ends, Mrs. Marshall-Ghust says in her written submissions that the rainy/hurricane season is upcoming. It can be reasonably inferred from this that the 2017 rainy/hurricane season was imminent when Mr. Bristol received the Report . The Court is in any case empowered by section 54 of the Evidence Act to take judicial notice of facts which are generally known with the limits oft
heir jurisdiction. It is a notorious fact which is not reasonably open to question that the hurricane season typically starts in June of each year. Mr. Bristol being armed at the official start of the 2017 hurricane season with the expert report which his counsel says confirmed his claim, did nothing. This is in my view telling and weighs against the grant of the exceptional remedy that he now seeks.
[37] Mrs. Marshall-Ghust also submitted that Mr. Bristol felt that it was necessary to ask for the Court's intervention because the pre-trial review was delayed on two occasions because of the Defendants' lack of cooperation. This Court is not minded to give any weight to suchevidence from the bar table. I pause
bears noting however that as aforementioned the record reveals that the pre-trial review which was to be held on 16th November 2017 was adjourned " due to the unpreparedness for Pretrial review." Moreover whilst Mrs. Marshall-Ghust averred that the Defendants conduct of the case had caused delay, the record reveals that the CMC was adjourned on the 27th September 2016 and then on the 29th November 2016 through no fault of the Defendants. There was no proof that he Jollys had been served with notice of the first CMC. The second adjournment was to facilitate the service of the amended claim on the First Defendant. The CMC was held 4 months after it was originally scheduled.
[38] Mr. Paryag submitted in response that Mr. Bristol's delay, which is fatal, was not caused by the Defendants. He further submits that the delay has not been satisfactorily explained. I agree that the unexplained delay is fatal to the application at bar. As things presently stand, the matter is ripe for trial. The Court was concerned that the 30 days suggested by Mr. Bristol for the construction of the concrete drain does not appear to be a reasonable period to the extent that Mr. Smith recommends that it should be an "engineered stormwater drain". Mrs. Marshall-Ghust submitted that the period could be extended to 60 days for proper implementation. Mr. Bristol's delay is such that the matter is now ripe for trial and
that an expedited trial could well take place during that 60 day period.
[39] The Court's discretion must be exercised with the greatest possible care. I am not satisfied that it is just and convenient in the circumstances of this case to grant the exceptional remedy which Mr. Bristol seeks. The balance of convenience to my mind favours the maintenance of the status quo and that the trial be expedited. For the reasons set out above, whilst I am grateful to Mrs. Marshall-Ghust for her helpful submissions, I feel constrained to dismiss the application at bar. I however make no orders as to costs since the Defendants did not file any evidence or submissions in opposition in this matter.
[40] In all the circumstances of this case and for the reasons above, I make the following orders:-
(i) The application for an interim mandatory injunction is dismissed.
(ii) The pre-trial review is hereby dispensed with pursuant to Rule 38.2 of the CPR 2000.
(iii) The trial of this matter is to be expedited with a view to it being heard in June or July 2018 .
(iv) The estimated length of the trial is two ()
[**] d ays.
(v) Trial Bundle is to be prepared, filed and served by the Claimant in accordance with Rule 39.1 of the CPR 2000.
(vi) No order as to costs.

4 reasons why it's lonely at the top
A variety of unique factors contribute to a CEOs' isolation from employees, organizations, and their own emotional needs and desires:
- The nature of their responsibilities and duties can alienate CEOs from other executives and employees. CEOs are privy to highly confidential information that cannot usually be shared with former coworkers and advisors. As a result, "colleagues who were once peers and confidants may no longer be accessible because of confidentiality requirements. What once could be discussed with coworkers is now private, inside information. Social support is often diminished or even becomes non-existent."
- CEOs hold positions of power and authority that can lead to their real or felt sense of alienation. While good news can quickly rise to the top, bad news moves at an exponentially slower vertical rate. Jack Welch observes that "bad news festers in the trenches where those who possess it hope they can make it go away before anyone notices." With lower-level employees guarding higher-ups from bad news, CEOs can find themselves increasingly insulated.
- CEOs may emotionally isolate themselves to maintain an appearance of confidence. While this tactic may sustain overall morale, CEOs then pay a great emotional and relational cost to keep up the facade. As a result they may experience isolation to do the pervasive but false perception that it is an admission of weakness for leaders to ask questions or to see outside help.
- Some CEOs struggle with feelings of insecurity, others with their own inflated egos. Some may surround themselves with "yes people" whose constant affirmation may lead a CEO to develop a distorted sense of themselves and the business; such unchecked egos overpower good business sense and jeopardize the organization's health.
The solution to loneliness and alienation lies in peer groups
Rather than turning to friends or family members for support, CEOs can turn to peers in business who can fully appreciate the situation and provide truly informed empathy.
When considering potential confidants, it's important for a leader to seek honest opinions and perspectives and to avoid constant reassurance, information isolation, and undermining intentions.
Peer Pressure, Peer Support
Peer groups can provide informed empathy for the isolated CEO that is likely not being provided by other relationships. CEO peer groups are informal gatherings where leaders from non-competing industries meet on a regular basis to discuss their business and personal struggles, share and receive practical advice, network, and generally socialize among equals. They provide a safe forum for CEOs to express their fears and anxieties without risking their business interests or reputations. By expressing their fears in conversation rather than suppressing or denying them, group members can acknowledge their fears as legitimate and appropriate feelings, but also place them in proper scope and context. Not all conversations must be about crisis - nearly any topic is appropriate.
Many such groups require members to sign non-disclosure agreements, thus formalizing a social contract of confidentiality. In the case of publicly traded companies, these groups often prohibit their members from trading in each other's stock.
Insight facilitates a peer group for CEOs of privately held companies that functions in many ways like an informal board of advisers. "I use Insight's Chief Executive Series like a board of directors," comments Jim Abbott, CEO of Nimet Industries, Inc. "Every meeting has new, valuable information, and it has never been a waste of my time. I call the CEO members when I have a problem to solve and need advice. It can be lonely at the top, and it has been great to have this group for support."
Peer groups constitute a valuable resource of knowledge and experience; CEOs can gain advice from other seasoned businesspeople that have likely faced similarly challenging circumstances. Listening to how a peer solved a particular problem might spark fresh thoughts on a variety of topics. Additionally, the direction of the global business market toward horizontal relationships highlights the importance of the ability to network resources and collaboratively outsource, or "growthsource" non-core needs to the expertise of business partners.
With peer groups comes accountability
Peer groups can provide CEOs, who are often answer to very few individuals, social accountability for constructively dealing with specific problems they've shared during group meetings. Although this kind of accountability is informal, it's invaluable. In sharing his experience in a CEO peer group based in Bend, Oregon, one member shared that "one of our group members knew he had to make a termination . . . At the next meeting the first thing his peers asked was, 'Well, did you do it?' The group forces you to take actions you don't always want to take." This informal accountability can help motivate CEOs whose energy, motivation levels, and general focus have decreased due to the lack of accountability at the highest level of leadership.

- 2 apples or pears, or 1 of each (any variety)
- dash cinnamon
- dash nutmeg
- water
core, and thinly slice apples (and/or pears) into a microwave safe bowl.
Add a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg (you can add more later to taste if you like).
Add 1 tablespoon water for each apple or pear. Cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir, and then re-cover with paper towel and microwave at 1 minute increments stirring in between until it reaches the desired consistancy, and adding more water if needed. Two apples takes about 5 minutes.
I like a chunkier applesauce. You can microwave yours longer until it's more saucy and less chunky.
This recipe can be modified to make more- just add more apples or pears, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water accordingly. And if you want, you can dress it up with raisins, cranberries, or nuts. You can even add a little heavy cream into your cooked applesauce if you like.

On January 11, I started rehearsals for the world premiere production of the show I may be more passionate about than any other: ERNEST SHACKLETON LOVES ME, which will start previews April 12 and officially open at Seattle Rep, under the auspices of Balagan Theatre Company, on April 18. (Have I mentioned how excited I am about this??) Brendan and I, along with the brilliant and hilarious Joe DiPietro, have been working on this piece off and on for about five years – first as a solo show for me to perform, and then in its much better version as a two-person musical. (As our astute and ingenious director Lisa Peterson said, in a show featuring Ernest Shackleton you have to SEE Ernest. How right she is.)
It feels like all the stars are aligning to make this happen the right way: various random delays made it so that we are now premiering the show in the 100th anniversary year of the start of Shackleton's historic voyage, so that Shackleton awareness is at an all-time high; Lisa's demanding schedule made it so that we have a nearly-2-month hiatus between rehearsals and tech, so that we can fit in some rewrites and improvements (and banjo practice!); the original venue fell through, so that we are now at the much-better-for-us gorgeous, intimate-yet-grand Leo K Theatre at Seattle Rep, an ideal space for our premiere.
Matthew Kwatinetz, impassioned theatre revolutionary, is our lead producer, bringing together vast numbers of disparate pieces and personnel to make this happen for real. Wade McCollum, chameleonic and transcendent performer whom we have adored since he played Woody in our first TOY STORY workshop, is my co-star and it is thrilling to share the stage with him.
We rehearsed like mad at ACT in downtown Seattle, and ended our initial Seattle stint, just as the city was erupting with joy over the Seahawks' Super Bowl victory, with 3 workshop performances February 2, 3 and 4 (fully staged, but with no tech: meaning there was tape on the floor instead of platforms, lots of piano playing by our excellent music director Ryan O'Connell instead of full orchestrations, and a descriptive speech by our director instead of video projections).
I don't think I've ever stuffed so much information so fast into my brain and body before; probably because I've never done quite as much movement/acting/blocking as this while playing – for example, leaping from ice floe to ice floe while playing a hoedown…it's been hugely challenging, immensely inspiring, and one of the best things I've ever done. And it's gonna be even better in April.

Many individuals suffer from conditions of the skin including eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and acne. Without proper care, these conditions can only get worse. Worsening skin conditions can lead to scarring and spots that are permanent unless drastic measures (such as surgery) are taken. Choosing the appropriate skin care products now before your problems get worse is the best way to approach the health of your skin.
1. Focus On Products That Heal – When choosing skin care products, consider using something that is proven to work. Don't just take the label's word for it, investigate further. If you suffer from dry skin, wrinkles, brown spots, acne, etc. make sure that what you're purchasing is worth your time and money. There products that use ingredients from The Dead Sea that are proven to work. The Dead Sea is located at the lowest point of the earth. The salt found in The Dead Sea has been known to treat a variety of skin conditions.
2. Look For Skin Care Products That Provide Free Samples and Money Back Guarantees – When you shop, you want to make sure you're getting a great deal. No purchase should ever be set in stone. If you don't like something, you should be able to return it for a full refund. To prove that they care, the distributor should throw in a little something extra to provide you with a taste of the variety they offer. It's should always be about customer satisfaction.
3. Ease of Shopping – You're probably well aware of the fact that not all businesses offer the convenience of delivering their products anywhere in the world. Some business websites simply state the address and location and ask that you come in if you want to try out their products. Obviously, that isn't a good way to do business. Skin care dealers that offer natural products should care about their customer and offer them a pleasant and convenient shopping experience. If you find something you like online, you should be able to purchase it online at as well. The cost of shipping and handling also shouldn't be outrageous. Again, it should always be about the customer.
No matter the reason why you are shopping for skin care products, you should be able to purchase the one's you want, where you want. Skin care distributors that care about their customers aren't afraid to offer a great deal and offer a few giveaways with each order. Having that type of pride and confidence in their products should be enough to let the customer know that their products are solid and effective.

Mega Man 2
Mega Man: the whole series is basically run-'n'-gun action. Move around an unsettlingly calm blue robot, shoot white pellets at odd creatures that pop up and fight a boss robot if, and when, the conclusion of the stage is reached. Not exactly an all-star premise. One of the draws, though, is the ability to choose the order in which you want to complete the stages. Another is the satisfaction of seeing that particular piece of the stage-select puzzle blank after returning from a glorious victory. And then there's the final showdown in the center of the board, which of course is only available after beating — in the case of Mega Man 2 — eight robot bosses. This leads to three more stages of mayhem, a reprise of the robot bosses and, finally, the disposable doctor himself.
The solution is, for the most part, pretty straight-forward. Mega Man himself begins with the more-than-serviceable energy cannon and later acquires several other utilities/weapons from bosses he defeats. With these he bounds along through all manners of stages, from the vertigo-inducing heights of Air Man's to the tangled woods and burrows of Wood Man's, knocking off what he can and making jumps when necessary. It's only slightly complicated by the addition of utilitarian items. These are introduced at set intervals(say, 2 boss defeats or so) and each serve unique purposes ranging from reaching previously inaccessible items to rocketing across areas of certain death. The catch is that certain robot stages — in particular, Heat Man's — are made infinitely less frustrating with certain tools in hand before entering. And when the more complex stages of the codgerly Dr. Wily come along, it's simply how you make progress.
But, like robot weapons, the batteries on these things run low after multiple uses and must be replenished. This is of course done through the usual process of shooting down monsters. But the possibilities can be humorous. For example, since most monsters are easily dismissed with a single shot, it's quite possible to navigate your way to a spawn point and simply scroll the the screen back and forth while killing the same monster over and over blindly. And quite lucrative, too, as the piles of item and life energy pellets will grow to towering proportions. Critics may argue that this, among several other chicken-switches, renders MM2 a bit on the easy side, but judging by its predecessor which resided well-off on the flip-side, it seems the only logical route to take in a sequel. The difficulty would be incremented back up to par with most NES games in future installments.
One major thing that always impresses players of the series is the engaging sound programming. In a day when the head coder, designer, artist and composer of a video game were often one and the same, Capcom never failed to awe its faithful with high-energy tunes that constantly pushed the bounds of the dinky NES sound-chip. For example, melodic toms, things the average NES sound engineer didn't know what to do with, were used to surprisingly quaint effect in several songs, creating the aural image that MM2 was somehow running a chip of its own. When, in fact, it was running on the same old three channel clunker that your average "Rad Racer" or "Dig Dug" sputtered along on. This was mostly due to Capcom's abnormally large and interchangeable staff. Whereas, say, Koji Kondo would cover all of the Mario games, Mega Man might be headed up by an entirely unique three man team from installment to installment. The real shocker is that it's all consistently thematic; you wouldn't see that when swapping out novice composers.
There, too, lies the explanation for several other outstanding elements of Mega Man 2 in particular. While it's doubtful artists are as expendable, the series has always been known for the visual clarity it brings to the sometimes obscured world of NES pixel images. Shading is a serious sink-or-swim factor when doing graphical design for the NES. Too much could blur the line between effective and offensive. But what the artists here have done is limit it to a very minimal amount while still creating some extremely persuasive backdrops. This isn't easily accomplished all things considered. Also, it's a wonder how much time went into some of the special effects and animations. It raises the question of why Capcom didn't experiment more in their 8-bit days. So much wasted talent was put into trying to rekindle this fizzling series.
In fact, I'd argue that the line should have been drawn long before the number ever reached anything as ludicrous as six.Two would have been a good starting point. It built upon everything the first had engendered, fixed the obvious problems and added several features where they made sense. Later installments(4+) would only call into question the need for changes or, worse yet, tread on what was already model material. In this respect, it's not the greatest idea(financially or otherwise) to invest much into the Mega Man lineage beyond where it shines: installments two and three in particular. One might be worth picking up to see how it all started, or four for fanatical continuation, but steer clear otherwise. Old dogs can be taught new tricks it seems, but it's not always worth the time and often doesn't amount to much.

The figure is up from £2.8bn the previous year.
The second quarter of 2017 saw £875m of loans written while applications received totaled £4.9bn. Total loan books increased by 5.8% on the first quarter.
The value of loans written increased by 12.1% on Q1 2017 and 17.8% on Q1 2016.
Bridging finance applications were also up 39.6% on the same quarter a year ago, while the figures for the year ending June 2017 are up 56.6% compared to year ended June 2016.
Benson Hersch (pictured), chief executive officer of the ASTL said: "The increase in positivity shown by members in a recent sentiment survey seems to be reflected in the latest figures. It remains to be seen how the ebb and flow of Brexit negotiations will affect the sector, but the market remains good for the time being. Barring unexpected jolts to the economy, I expect a period of consolidation ahead, especially with the increasing likelihood of interest rate rises."

Untitled 41
Autumn Movement - Carl Sandburg
I cried over beautiful things knowing no beautiful thing lasts.
The field of cornflower yellow is a scarf at the neck of the copper sunburned woman,
the mother of the year, the taker of seeds.
The northwest wind comes and the yellow is torn full of holes,
new beautiful things
come in the first spit of snow on the northwest wind, and the
old things go,
not one lasts.
