Few sub-contractors of an earlier project were due certain certified amounts as part of their Final Bills.
However, the payments were not released due to non-submission of statutory compliance documents.
It so happens that a few of these sub-contractors are now either not reachable / traceable and are not responding to any letters / emails etc. In such a context, how does the company remove the liability of payment due to non-response by the sub-contractor?

Would anyone be happy to have a discussion with me, or give me some pointers on managing a JV where you are both a customer, supplier and a shareholder?
It would be good to understand how other companies navigate this tricky relationship and if there is any IACCM best practice I should adhere too? I have different contract managers who are responsible for the customer and supplier side to eliminate any conflict of interest, but the whole governance is so much more complex than a straight commercial arrangement. Therefore, if anyone has any experience or observations they would be happy to share, I would really appreciate your help.

For Variation Agreement, is it necessary to mention some consideration amount (e.g. $1 in the below example) to make it binding/legitimate even if the consideration amount is mentioned in the Original Agreement?
"In consideration of the payment of the sum of $1 by each party to the other (receipt of which each party hereby acknowledges), the parties agree that the Original Agreement shall be varied in accordance with the arrangements set out in this Variation Agreement"
I've also seen a few Variation Agreements where no consideration amount is mentioned. It would be great if someone can clarify.
• Ministry of Defence • 2019-10-22 09:16:51
I think that the consideration was already made via the original agreement. The variation is a change to the original. So, in my opinion consideration has already been made. This relates to my experience in English Law only.
• Legal and Commercial Training Limited • 2019-10-25 06:42:02
In some jurisdictions (such as England and Wales) a contract requires 'consideration' (in addition to offer, acceptance and intention).
A variation of a contract is itself a contract - that is, an agreement to vary the original contract. Therefore, a variation will require consideration.
However, it may not be essential to expressly refer to 'consideration'. Consideration is an exchange of promises of value. When parties agree to vary a contract, the consideration can be found with both parties promising to carry on performing the contract as varied.
Having said that, if there is ever any doubt whatsoever as to the presence of consideration, it is always preferable to state clearly what the consideration is. Or (in English law) you could execute the document as a deed.
In the wording of your example, not only the price to be paid for the variation is set but also the terms and conditions or description of the variation is set: 'in accordance with the arrangements set out in this Variation Agreement'. In this case, I understand it as an option to choose: either the original contract, either the modified terms and conditions which works with a different price.
You may offer a variation without any additional cost any time the change to consider does not impact the resources, time or cost of the considered project; or whenever the parties have planned a variation mechanism or tolerance and already included it in the initial price and defined the scope of such authorized variation.

Can someone please clarify whether there is any difference between "assignment" and "novation" of Contracts? I've seen many contracts where the word "assignment" has been used and in other contracts the word "novation" has been used. Sometimes, both are used.
For Example:
"Third Party Agreements which the parties have agreed will be assigned (or novated) to the Service Provider, and for which the Service Provider is thereafter liable..."
In the above example, I'm not sure why both the terms "assigned" and "novated" have been used if both have same contractual meaning. I think for both assignment and novation, the Service Provider has to novate the existing contract between the Customer and Customer's Third Party and will be fully responsible for the novated Contract going forward.
Please correct me if this is not the right understanding.
• Legal and Commercial Training Limited • 2019-10-25 07:13:07
NOVATION. A contact is between A and B. The contract is to be notated to C. This will require a try-partite agreement so that A and B and C will all have to agree. The effect of the novation is that A, B and C will agree that in future the contract will be effective as between B and C (with A no longer a party). A novation will, therefore, transfer to C the benefit and the burden of the contract
ASSIGNMENT. A contract is between A and B. A intends to assign the contract to C. The is a bi-partite agreement between A and B. A will assign the contract to C.
However, A can only assign the 'benefit' of the contract and not the 'burden'.
For example, if, under the contract, A is to to provide services to B and B is to provide benefits to A, the effect of an assignment will be as follows: B will be required post-assignment to provide the benefits to C. However, A will still be contractually obliged to ensure that the services will be provided to B. So if C does not provide those services to B, B will be able to take action against A.
Therefore, A will have assigned the benefit but will remain liable for the burden. Therefore, when A assigns the benefit to C, A will require C to give A an indemnity for any non-performance by C.

I manage a suite of Community based leased facilities - all of the leases are based on an annual token fee of $1. This fee has, to date, never been actually invoiced and paid. My question is would I run into any trouble if the lease was ever contested in court and it identified that there was never any financial transaction to bind the agreement. Wondering if something like promissory estoppel would step in to counteract this fact.

Difference between Terms and Conditions
Can anyone explain me the difference between Terms and conditions with an example?
Can anyone explain me the difference between Terms and conditions with an example?
Terms are basically things that we agree to do or not to do. For example, a Tenant agrees to pay money for rent, while the Landlord agrees to let the Tenant occupy the property in return. Or a software company will let you use their software for a predetermined amount of time.
Conditions are items that must be satisfied before the transaction becomes binding upon the seller and the buyer. Or after signing/award, the conditions can be items for dissolution of the agreement.
For example, some buyers insert a condition for due diligence that allows the buyer to verify all important details before committing to purchase.
Or if you fail to deliver on or stick to what was agreed, the conditions can spell out how the contract will be terminated.
• 2019-09-10 13:03:51
Thank you, Mark for explaining it with examples.
• Legal and Commercial Training Limited • 2019-10-25 07:28:18
The words "Terms and Conditions" are likely to mean nothing more than 'the provisions of the contract'.
However, if the word "condition" is used in the contract, then it could mean that the particular provision is a 'condition' (in the legally technical sense) in that the term is fundamental to the contract. If such a 'condition' is breached, then the innocent party may terminate the contract. A term of a contract may be a 'warranty'. This is a less important term, breach of which will enable the innocent party to claim damages.
The aim that we should be seeking to obtain with contracts is to be as clear as possible and not to rely on a court deciding that you have used 'condition' or 'warranty' in a technical sense.
For example, if the date of delivery is vitally important, you could state that it is a condition but it is better to state that time of delivery is "of the essence". This phrase will mean that the term is indeed a 'condition' enabling the innocent party to walk away and claim damages and obtain the goods elsewhere. If you are agreeing to deliver the goods, you should state the opposite, namely that time of delivery is not of the essence. If you do not and if you are one day late, the other side can walk away. Or you could state that time of delivery is an estimate and that you will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the goods by that date.
The above is the position in English law.
• Legal and Commercial Training Limited • 2019-10-25 07:33:08
I would add that Mark is not incorrect in his description of a condition. He is referring to yet another meaning given to 'condition'. Mark is describing a 'condition precedent' which is, as he states, a condition that has to be satisfied prior to the rest of the contract becoming effective. To add some complication, there is also a 'condition subsequent'. This means that the contract is enforceable but will cease to be so if a condition occurs.
Rather than rely on the difference meanings, we should remember that a court will interpret a contract by asking itself what the parties meant when they used the words in the contract. A court will strive to give those words their usual meaning. So, rather than rely on a suspected legal meaning of a word, you could use clear and usual language to state what the deal is and what the contract means.

For Agreement between the Parties of differnet origin , the aurgument starts up on Jurisdiction and governing law for the AGreement. while both the Parties are interested in proposing law of their respective country to be made applicable to the AGreement, I want to know whether there is any list of prioritised or ranked Jurisdiction/ Govering law like World bank ranks each country a ranking for " ease in doing business" and almost 190 countrites are listed. For example, I propose indian law and other Party would prefer Laws of Singpore to be governing law. Can parties choose England and wales as nuetral or any other preferred law.
• 2019-08-30 18:01:18
In the US, Texas or New York are largely considered "neutral territory" whereas in Europe, until very recently UK law was considered neutral. I think that may change with the recent political upheaval.
• Ministry of Defence • 2019-10-04 08:50:59
Or try international trade law?
• Legal and Commercial Training Limited • 2019-11-05 09:40:02
In the case of one party proposing Indian law and the other proposing Singapore law, the parties may well choose the law of England and Wales as both Indian law and Singapore law are based upon English and Welsh common law. (Note that there is no such concept as "UK law" as one commentator has suggested below).
However, a party should consider a wide range of factors before proposing a particular governing law and should weigh up the legal and commercial advantages and disadvantages of all the options.
One factor may be the degree of certainty that a contract will be interpreted in a particular way. English law adheres to the doctrine of binding precedence. Some legal systems do not. This could lead to significant uncertainty as to how the law will be applied.
In English law, it may be perceived that the courts allow a greater degree of freedom of contract. Subject to certain exceptions, freedom of contract in English law means that commercial parties are completely free to make disastrous bargains. This illustrates the comparative reluctance of the English courts to interfere on policy or other grounds to rewrite the parties' contracts for them.
For example, in English law it is possible, provided very clear wording is used, to include an exclusion clause that excludes any and all liability whatsoever, even for a deliberate breach of contract. And there is still no recognition of a duty of good faith being applied generally to commercial agreements (but watch this space!). This may or may not be an advantage to you but it remains the case that the courts are likely to give effect to the wording of the contract without imposing their opinions as to what does or does not amount to good faith.
And you may wish to consider the approach of a particular legal system to particular clauses.
For example, in English law, a liquidated damages clause will be subject to the clarification set out recently by the Supreme Court with a subsequent judgment, applying that test, indicating that a freely-negotiated LD clause is likely to be upheld subject to the requirements set out by the Supreme Court. Under UAE law, such a provision would be subject to Article 390(2) of the Civil Code and either party may apply to the court to adjust the agreed amount of compensation so it is equal to the loss. If Indian law were to apply, we would have to consider the effect of section 74 of the Indian Contracts Act 1872.
English law will also recognise an asymmetric jurisdiction clause.
And it may be that the choice of law clause will be reflected in the choice of jurisdiction. So, English law and the English courts. If the choice of courts is to reflect the choice of law, it may well be the consideration should be given to the efficacy of the court system and the technical expertise and other qualities of the judges.
Lots to consider.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Deshaun Thomas had 20 points and scored the first and last baskets in a 16-0 first-half spurt to help No. 15 Ohio State beat second-ranked Michigan 56-53 on Sunday, denying the Wolverines their first No. 1 ranking in more than 20 years.
After Trey Burke, who led the Wolverines (16-1, 3-1 Big Ten) with 15 points, hit a 3-pointer to open the game, the Buckeyes took the lead for good although there were many nervous moments by the finish.
Burke had a shot to tie the game with 17 seconds left, but it rattled around and out.
Lenzelle Smith Jr. then hit two foul shots with 12.7 seconds left and Aaron Craft added two more to seal the outcome for the Buckeyes (13-3, 2-2).

LETTER- Tree chopping in McGuffey-ville
I'm sure your May 30 breaking-news item, "Trees topple in, around, McGuffey Park," triggered memories for many. Mine go back 50 years.
In 1957, I got my start in public discourse as a fourth-grader at McGuffey School. The cause was a huge mulberry tree in the center of the plain-dirt play area just behind the building. Because one limb branched low and extended almost horizontally, that tree provided not only lovely shade but a long comfy bench that doubled as a natural jungle-gym.
But school officials thought the playground needed improvement and modernization. They would cut down the tree, we were told, then pave where it stood and paint on a basketball court.
In response, I started a petition, one that borrowed a line from poet Joyce Kilmer: "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. We want to keep ours." I collected several pages of fellow students' signatures. Teachers told me what a fine thing I was doing.
Officials cut down the tree and paved the playground.
Such history should not repeat. Charlottesville has never needed shade more than it does now. It has never had so little.

I believe! Book of Mormon really is that good
Nov 29
Take it on faith: The Book of Mormon is every bit as profane and profound and funny and sweet as everyone says it is. The monster Broadway hit about Mormon missionaries in Uganda is now working its way around the country and just opened a sold-out, five-week run at San Francisco's Curran Theatre as part of the SHN season.

Donald Watson of Springfield, Mo. was charged yesterday for invading a home while naked. While he was there, he donned a former tenant's beloved Kansas basketball outfit and then took off on a police chase; he was ultimately taken into custody after "a run-in with a police dog."
Jason Chambers told the Springfield News-Leader that he wore the stolen outfit for every game of the Jayhawks' 2008 national championship season, and to thank him for his dedication, the KU athletic department is sending him a brand new ensemble.
And so we suppose, in the name of justice and Jayhawks, Mr. Watson will have to make do with this hospital gown.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wyok from The perfect water bottle!! I love this water bottle!!! I have been looking for a water bottle like this for years. I had always been a devoted Contigo user with the autoseal lid. I really like them, but the largest they come in is 24 ounces. I'm a big water drinker and like ice. I was constantly having to refill it. When I saw this 40 ounce bottle I was very excited. I have used it daily for over 2 months. I like how you can flip open the lid for cleaning. The rubber bottom is a bonus. I don't have to worry about it scratching my furniture. It keeps ice as promised. My only wish is that had more fun colors. (Like a fushia)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Carissa0728 from Durable I don't know why there are people giving this such low reviews. I've had this water bottle for over a year. I've dropped it numerous times.. there's a few dings but it's held up well. I fill the bottle about 1/3 of the way with ice and I've left it at my office for 2 days and the ice still hasn't fully melted. I usually wash my bottle every day and there's ALWAYS ice still in it. Obviously if you leave the bottle sitting in the hot sun for hours, the ice won't last as long. The best part is there's no top to take off.. you simply press the button and drink which can be done with 1 hand (super convenient while driving).

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy Hung from Worked great at first I have a 24 Oz and a 40 Oz, they were my pride and joy and I used them daily, both keeping my water cold throughout the night. 4 months later and they don't keep my water cold even on a two hour car ride. I have only cleaned the bottles by hand and have run the avex tops through the dishwasher on the top rack once and they've lost their ability to keep drinks cold. I contacted Coleman warranty (lifetime warranty against defects) and they said ice retention is not covered under the lifetime warranty. I don't understand that the purpose of this bottle is to keep drinks cold or hot and if it fails to do either of those, it would be a defect, am I right? Why have a lifetime warranty if this is not even a failure due to misuse or neglect? That's fine. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OfficeJoeSmo from Great for an office We recently switched over from bottled water at work to an old school water cooler with those small pointed cups. The change wasn't well received by some of my peers and we decided to invest in long term water bottles. By far this is the best bottle on the market and now in total their are FIVE in our office. Excellent quality, well worth the price.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mike B from Coleman 40oz Bottle While this bottle holds a lot of liquid and has a great spout & locking features, it DOES NOT keep hot liquid HOT for more than 3-4 hours. I tried pre heating it as well as just pouring the water in. I tried a coffee maker vs tea kettle on the stove. Very disappointed as the description says up to 11 hours. You'd figure it was closer to 11 than 3-4 hours!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skeet from Amazing!! I've had the 24oz bottle for 5 years and honestly this is the most amazing water bottle I've ever had, I only use it for cold drinks and can say they definitely stay cold for 11 hours, such an amazing product

Rated 5 out of 5 by sususus from Fantastic! Truly keeps things cold for 24 hours! I use this as my daily water bottle! This bottle is fantastic - love the freeflow spout with autoseal. No leaking. No dripping. Keeps water cold for an entire day! I am ordering 4 more for the family!

Help for Bendix Kings
Hello, We have 2 LPH handhelds that has audio but not voice carrier on transmit. What i mean is they recieve fine but when you tx them nothing is heard on our other Bks of the same channels, frequencies meaning im suspecting the transmit or something is out in these 2 radios. Could this be that maybe the microprocessor (the little black square processor) is out and needs replaced or could i be looking in the wrong direction? I do have a few spare microprocessors for these that are good in case they do need replaced.

Supernova was the shit back in 2008 when the dew democracy was out, I liked voltage but prefered supernova. I held onto my supernova cans as long as I could after the exp date and becaused Voltage won. Though I got tired of supernova when it came back after like 42 cans in 2 weeks. Switched over to throwback then I switched to Game Fuel Citrus Cherry flavor. Works best with Funyuns
I'm not liking the Mountain Dew: GF Tropical Flavor (green) like you, though it's like a mix of Baja Blast and Distortion but in a okish way.

I would like to be able to convert Lat long values in wgs84 to the swedish RT90, the values are in CSV files under headings X and Y. I would like to have this portable, an eg runned in a script in python idle or something similar. I have a python script today on USB that uses the pyshp module to convert csv files to shapefiles, but some of the csv are in wgs84 which would be nice to have converted in the same process.
Can gdal be used, and can it be made portable?

When my sister was about to turn 50, my mom rallied family and friends to write a couple of sentences about what we treasured most about my sister, or share a memory.
Mom encouraged multiple submissions. She wanted 365 memories, each written on a small piece of paper that would be rolled up and tied with a ribbon or raffia, so my sister could open something special every single day of her 50th year.
It was an incredibly ambitious project, months in the making, but Mom succeeded. She filled wire heart sculpture with all 365 submissions. Then she presented it to my sister, who was speechless. (My sister also was speechless when the hunky singing telegram fake-cop showed up at her birthday party, but that was a different kind of speechlessness. The fake-cop speechlessness was the kind that temporarily silenced my mom when I brought home a collie puppy at Christmastime when I was on winter vacation from college.)
That collection of memories was literally priceless, a true labor of love. Not every homemade gift has to require that much work, though.
My mom still remembers the Christmas just a couple of months after my father died. At a time when most moms stayed at home, she was struggling to balance her recently-resumed job as a registered nurse with caring for three children between ages 8 and 13. She worried aloud about when she would have time to put up the Christmas decorations. So my sister, brother and I decided to take on that task ourselves.
We didn't touch the sacred boxes with their heirloom contents. Instead, we cut dozens and dozens of snowflakes from scrap paper, taped each to a string, and dangled the strings from the basement's low ceiling. When we were done, it really did look magical. When Mom came home from her shift, she was… well, speechless.
But not Oh-God-My-College-Student-Brought-Home-A-Collie-Puppy speechless. It was a good kind of speechless.
The kind that no big-box store could ever sell, not even at the deepest-ever Black Friday discount.

With almost nine inches in additional overall length when compared to the standard MINI coupe, the 2013 Clubman adds rear seat comfort and versatility while preserving the overall go-kart fun of the original MINI Cooper concept.
In true MINI fashion, the traditional is mixed with the modern resulting in a unique, but unmistakably MINI appearance and unique interior access. The tailgate carries forward the twin, outwardly hinged "split doors" found on the Clubman's ancestors, while rear seat passengers ingress and egress is eased through a "Clubdoor" access incorporated into the car's right side behind the front passenger door.
Riding on the same chassis, the MINI Clubman mirrors the second-generation MINI Cooper hardtop – both inside and out, in terms of equipment from the radiator grill to the B pillars.
Available in Cooper and Cooper S models, the MINI Clubman is powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder engine. Cooper S models are equipped with turbo-charged 1.6L engine. Torque is transmitted to the pavement through a short-throw six-speed Getrag manual gearbox. A six-speed Aisin automatic transmission is optional.
On the road, that connected go-kart feeling is even better. Control hardware for the performance-tuned suspension includes a single-joint-spring-strut front axle and a multiple-control-arm rear axle – unique in its class.
The MINI Clubman is different from the Cooper hardtop starting in the area behind the front seats and the number of doors providing access to the interior. Stretching the Clubman 9.4 inches and the wheelbase 3.2 inches is translated into additional leg room for rear passengers while the revised body work offers up a bit more shoulder room.
The most dramatic transformation comes in terms of luggage space – the Clubman offers 61 percent more space with the rear seats up or 37 percent more with the 50/50 split rear seat folded flat.
The split rear doors for the Clubman are modeled along the design of the rear doors found in the Austin Mini Countryman, Morris Minor Traveller and the Mini Clubman Estate of the 1960's.
Inside the cabin, displays, controls and switchgear start with a large analog speedometer at the top of the center stack which features a series of unique digital and push button controls for the audio and climate control systems.
Technology makes the MINI Clubman even better featuring: an insertable remote key with push button start, while a bank of overhead switches includes map and interior lighting as well as the vent/open control for the optional panorama sunroof. The front seats fold and slide forward for easier access to the 50/50 spilt folding rear seats.

Binyamin Netanyahu was born October 21, 1949 in Tel Aviv, Israel. He joined the Israeli military in 1967, moving into the special operations force that rescued a hijacked airplane at the Tel Aviv airport in 1972. Netanyahu became leader of the Likud party in 1993 and continued working with Likud since, twice serving as Prime Minister.
Binyamin Netanyahu (born October 21, 1949, Tel Aviv [now Tel Aviv–Yafo], Israel) Israeli politician and diplomat, who twice served as his country's prime minister (1996–99 and 2009– ).
In 1963 Netanyahu, the son of the historian Benzion Netanyahu, moved with his family to Philadelphia in the United States. After enlisting in the Israeli military in 1967, he became a soldier in the elite special operations unit Sayeret Matcal and was on the team that rescued a hijacked jet plane at the Tel Aviv airport in 1972. He later studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.B.A., 1976), taking time out to fight in the Yom Kippur War in Israel in 1973. After his brother Jonathan died while leading the successful Entebbe raid in 1976, Benjamin founded the Jonathan Institute, which sponsored conferences on terrorism.
Netanyahu held several ambassadorship positions before being elected to the Knesset (Israeli parliament) as a Likud member in 1988. He served as deputy minister of foreign affairs (1988–91) and then as a deputy minister in Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's coalition cabinet (1991–92). In 1993 he easily won election as the leader of the Likud party, succeeding Yitzhak Shamir in that post. Netanyahu became noted for his opposition to the 1993 Israel-PLO peace accords and the resulting Israeli withdrawals from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The governing Labour Party entered the 1996 elections with weakened electoral appeal following Rabin's assassination in November 1995 and a series of suicide bombings by Muslim militants early in 1996. Netanyahu eked out a victory margin of about 1 percent over Prime Minister Shimon Peres in the elections of May 29, 1996, the first in which the prime minister was directly elected. Netanyahu became the youngest person ever to serve as Israel's prime minister when he formed a government on June 18.
Unrest dominated Netanyahu's first prime ministership. Soon after he entered office, relations with Syria deteriorated, and his decision in September 1996 to open an ancient tunnel near Al-Aqsa Mosque angered Palestinians and sparked intense fighting. Netanyahu then reversed his earlier opposition to the 1993 peace accords and in 1997 agreed to withdraw troops from most of the West Bank town of Hebron. Pressure from within his coalition, however, led Netanyahu to announce his intention to establish a new Jewish settlement on land claimed by the Palestinians. He also significantly lowered the amount of land that would be handed over to the Palestinians during Israel's next phase of withdrawal from the West Bank. Violent protests, including a series of bombings, ensued. In 1998 Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Ysir Araft participated in peace talks that resulted in the Wye Memorandum, the terms of which included placing as much as 40 percent of the West Bank under Palestinian control. The agreement was opposed by right-wing groups in Israel, and several factions in Netanyahu's government coalition quit. In 1998 the Knesset dissolved the government, and new elections were scheduled for May 1999.
Netanyahu's reelection campaign was hindered by a fragmented right wing as well as by voters' growing dislike of his inconsistent peace policies and his often abrasive style. In addition, a series of scandals had plagued his administration, including his appointment in 1997 of Roni Bar-On, a Likud party functionary, as attorney general. Allegations that Bar-On would arrange a plea bargain for a Netanyahu ally who had been charged with fraud and bribery led to a series of confidence votes in the Knesset. With his core political support undermined, Netanyahu was easily defeated by Ehud Barak, leader of the Labour Party, in the 1999 elections.
Netanyahu was succeeded as head of Likud in 1999 by Ariel Sharon but remained a popular figure in the party. When early elections were called in 2001, Netanyahu, who had resigned his seat in the Knesset and thus was ineligible to run for prime minister, unsuccessfully challenged Sharon for leadership of the party. In Sharon's government, Netanyahu served as foreign minister (2002–03) and finance minister (2003–05). In 2005 Sharon left Likud and formed a centrist party, Kadima; Netanyahu was subsequently elected leader of Likud and was the party's unsuccessful prime ministerial candidate for the 2006 Knesset elections in which Likud secured only 12 seats to Kadima's 29.
The election of February 2009 saw sizable Likud gains as Netanyahu led the party to 27 Knesset seats, finishing a single seat behind Kadima, led by Tzipi Livni. Because of the close and inconclusive nature of the results, however, it was not immediately clear which party's leader would be invited to form a coalition government. Through the course of coalition discussions in the days that followed, Netanyahu gathered the support of Yisrael Beiteinu (15 seats), Shas (11 seats), and a number of smaller parties, and he was asked by Israel's president to form the government, which was sworn in on March 31, 2009.

James Hopkins has faced many obstacles in his life.
The most recent sequence included a boating accident in 1992 that resulted in a broken back and other lingering injuries.
The 45-year-old earned a certificate in computer-aided design from Anne Arundel Community College but was laid off a few years ago. And he recently saw his mortgage soar to $2,200 a month and narrowly avoided foreclosure.
Yet it was only recently that the 1986 Annapolis High School graduate decided to seek help — he needed repairs on the Annapolis home where he's lived in since 1990.
Last weekend, he got help in the form of about 25 midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy, who arrived at his house to help perform parts of a renovation project. The midshipmen were joined Nov. 2 by members of Community United Methodist Church; other groups helping the effort have included members of Johns Hopkins Hospital's health care staff, personnel from Fort Meade and volunteers from Anne Arundel Community College.
Hopkins — who served two years as a private first class with the Maryland National Guard — said he was extremely grateful for the help.
"I never expected to have this much work done," said Hopkins, as contractors from American Remodeling worked on his roof Wednesday.
The work began after Hopkins was put in touch with Barbara Cupp of Rebuilding Together Anne Arundel County, the local chapter of a national organization that — as its website states — "provides critical repairs and renovations for low-income homeowners across the United States."
Cupp, executive director of the Severna Park-based chapter, learned of Hopkins' needs after he was referred through Habitat for Humanity. Cupp organized donations and other support from local contractors, and organized the stream of volunteers who have made their way to Hopkins' home.
Most of the volunteers show up on weekends, while professional contractors do specialized work during the week.
When the midshipmen came Nov. 2, they worked on landscaping and demolition, helped rebuild a ramp that runs from the driveway to his front door, cleaned out the garage and tackled a wet basement — the remnants of Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.
"There isn't a better way to spend a Saturday morning than getting fired up to work with our company mates and help out someone who needs it," said Midshipman 2nd Class Charles Lauer in an email. "I hope our contribution made a difference to that project, and we look forward to participating in more."
"The midshipmen took charge of the project right from the start and really worked hard," said Maj. Carrie Stocker, 7th Company officer at the academy. "It's very rewarding to see their leadership skills shine through, especially when it's for such a wonderful cause. They are already looking forward to the next project."
"I hope our contribution put a smile as big as ours in [Hopkins'] heart," added Midshipman Peter Guo.
The volunteers were part of the Midshipmen Action Group, according to Miriam Stanicic, community relations director in the Naval Academy's Office of Public Affairs.
On a tour of the two-story house Hopkins showed off some of the repair work done to the circa-1920 Sears & Roebuck home where his grandmother lived from 1964 to 1990. Upgrades have included work on the kitchen floor, bathroom, roof, steps to the upstairs, paint indoors and out, rewiring and repair of leaky pipes.
"He now has a wooden laminated floor so his wheelchair goes smoothly," Cupp said.
"It had fallen into disrepair," she said of the house. "He is a handyman, but it kind of got away from him."
Cupp said Hopkins' house is one of two current projects being carried out in Anne Arundel by Rebuilding Together. The other is in Glen Burnie for a veteran — volunteers are lined up for Nov. 16 to tackle work on his driveway and other projects.

Colorado "impact" startups vie for funding in i4c contest
The i4c Campaign has chosen 10 finalists in a contest that will award a total of $150,000 to three Front Range startups "with a social or environmental impact" — including an organic compost supplier and a developer of health products for women in developing countries.
The companies will compete July 13 in a pitching contest, dubbed the Summit, before a panel of Denver business leaders and a live audience at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Three winners each will receive a $50,000 equity investment from Galvanize, a Denver-based venture-capital firm behind i4c. They'll also get mentorship and office space for a year.

We just returned home from Beaches Negril, we were there for New Years eve, and in my 52 years , it was my best. My boys 21 and 25 had a great time. My granddaughter 10 , loved the resort. The staff were , very friendly and very helpful. Our room , was clean, perfect. My boys were most concerned with the fitness centre , which turned out to be great. For people wanting daycare it seemed to be wonderful. From what I saw , the kiddies were having a wonderful time . The waterpark , waterslides were perfect (one was a little slow, you had to run down it , but kids don't seem to mind) 7 mile Beach is wonderful. Security looks after you on the beach , keeping an eye on everything. Conciege is the only way to go.The café was awesome but needs another crepe maker , one wasn't enough. The Beach dinner (Parade) and chocolate night were fun. Great fun for all ages . I would love to see a water trampoline at he beach. We can't wait to return to Beaches Negril, Love the Jamaican people!You must go to Ricks Café , it was fun. We went zip lining , bob sledding , dolphin cove. all worth while seeing.
Room Number:
Dec 31st 2014, we were welcomed home and had never been before , but we felt very welcome
I would like to try the 600 block next time , with oceanfront. Ours was nice , it looked on to the playground/beach.
Restaurants and Bars:
Japanese was fun. Great food. Italian was ok , drinks were good.
Beach, pools , pool aerobics, waterslides , lazy river were very clean.

Just got back from resort and having reviewed the comments posted would add the following, the food does need to be improved but is OK, we had Conrad as butler and he was amazing, if your going with the family and want your wife to enjoy holiday spend the extra money and get the butler service.
Rooms are clean, large and well stocked, no complaints....
Restaurants and Bars:
The Seville is overrated, Kimonos Japanese restaurant was by far the best, breakfast was average, the wild cats in the dining room are cute but also scary if they ever decided to bite one of the kids. My oldest daughter was giving them food and did not have any problems, events are first rate and the marching band was excellent
Pools are are amazing, kids loved the lazy river and water-slide.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
SCUBA is well run and very safe, the guys and girls who run the shop are very nice once they get to know you.
Other Comments:
Conrad our butler was amazing, our 3 kids loved all the activities, women staff need to learn how to smile, security is first rate, if your a diver most of the dives are less than 60ft but you will see turtles, stingrays, large schools of fish and crabs and the equipmet is OK I dived 6 days and did not have any problems, the beach is safe at night, bus ride from airport and back is a great way to see what life on the island is all about, overall its a great holiday.

Thinking Ahead
Information Security's 2006 Priorities Survey signals a transition for security managers from an operational to a more strategic stance.
IT IS A SUBTLE YET NOTEWORTHY DISTINCTION that Gary Swindon's job title reads "corporate" information security officer, and not "chief."
"As corporate ISO, I am responsible for security strategy, risk assessment, risk management and audit functions--things that are strategic in nature," says Swindon, who reports to the director of compliance and internal audit at Orlando Regional Healthcare, and not to the CIO. "If you're going to report to the CIO, then the job takes on the flavor of technical security rather than it being a business process."
Meet the new CISO, not quite the same as the old CISO.
This transition from operational security responsibilities to strategic ones resonates throughout the results of Information Security's 2006 Priorities Survey. Security organizations, driven by regulatory mandates, are segregating responsibilities and giving more attention to people and process issues.
"In a nutshell, security is now about risk management," says Ron Woerner, information security manager for ConAgra Foods. "You cannot properly manage risk at the operational level. You must be at the strategic level in order to match the severity of threats and vulnerabilities with the business' risk appetite. This shifts the knowledge and experience requirements for information security from the technology to the business."
|How Much Money Will You Have?
"This cannot be accomplished by a technician, but by a business leader with the proper authority to see that appropriate business decisions are made," Woerner says.
Ironically, the strategic shift emerges from the confidence that the tactical side of the house is in order. Only four percent of respondents were unsure about their abilities to harden network perimeters against external attacks and to hold malware attacks in check.
"My job as information security officer is not technical," Swindon says. "I own everything that touches and contributes to the protection of information. Information systems are some of my customers. They involve me in project development and looking at security before we do things like implement new systems. It gets less expensive from a business perspective."
Security managers are instead turning their attention and wallets toward risk assessments and evolutionary technologies for streamlining identity management needs, providing secure remote access for employees and partners, and complying with federal regulations. Sixty-seven percent of those who took the survey expect security budgets to increase, and 34 percent project at least a 10 percent jump.
Offloading to Operations
With more focus on risk management, security managers are offloading duties in other areas. Operational teams like network, application and server administrators remain the most logical place for security duties like firewall maintenance, IDS management and safe server configurations.
"We guide our network team and approve security actions that they implement," says John Kramer, information security manager at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. "Local understanding always outweighs corporate-level decision making lest the users get impacted by broad-brush decisions that are not viewed from a local business-needs perspective."
|How Are Things Going?
"Security can only be adequately interpreted at the local level to be most accommodating to the users and their business needs," Kramer says. "Centrally, we cannot do justice to these disparate and specific local needs. We provide the high-level direction, and they interpret and implement local solutions that best meet the needs of both the central direction and the local quirks."
The integration of risk into the security operation is an offshoot of the need to comply with regulations. For most public companies, complying with SOX, HIPAA, GLBA and other industry-specific regulations is an ongoing initiative. As the routines are ingrained in everyday operations, confidence grows that the compliance challenge will lessen.
ConAgra Foods, for example, has created a homegrown risk-assessment methodology called the System Security Plan, based on NIST Special Publication SP-800-30 and the Microsoft Security Risk Management Guide. New systems or applications must adhere to the plan before it's put into production. The plan has three components that describe the new system and any risks associated with that system, and a 10-point checklist that determines its compliance with policy.
While 72 percent of respondents said they'll be spending more time and money on compliance-related activities in 2006, Woerner says ConAgra's initial push is over.
"The cost for compliance is dropping as it becomes a regular activity," Woerner says. "Now that the processes and procedures are in place, there are fewer costs involved. Most of the expense is on outside auditors to attest compliance."
Who's On First?
Infrastructure complexity spawned concern among respon- dents in several areas, notably identity, access and vulnerability management, and reporting mechanisms.
|Where's Your Money Going?
Some managers are reticent to dive into expensive identity management systems until the industry settles on implementation standards. "Like most organizations, we don't want to commit to a vendor-specific approach that will constrain our ability to deliver flexible solutions in the future," says Jon Stanford, chief security officer for the American Criminal Investigators Network.
Meanwhile, access control technologies like two-factor authentication and enterprise single sign-on remain a wait-and-see proposition in most organizations. A quarter of the survey respondents said they'd be spending more on both technologies in 2006, but some, like Stanford, are still cautious of hidden costs, like the replacement of lost tokens.
While most organizations have their patching processes down pat thanks to automated tools and scheduled patch-release cycles from Microsoft and Oracle, vulnerability management remains a top operational priority. Spending on network vulnerability scanners and patch management tools is expected to rise. Security managers also want to improve the integration of vulnerability, patch and configuration management tools into a single console. Spending is expected to head upward there as well.
"Exploits are so pervasive that keeping systems current is more important than ever. It's a challenge because there's always the balance of needing to minimize system downtime," Stanford says. "There's also a lack of real expertise in vulnerability management. It's hard to find and hire staff who has the training and experience to assess systems for secu-rity control effectiveness and manage mitigation efforts."
|What's On Tap For 2006??
"When a vulnerability alert comes out, I get information from the lists and newsletters. If it pertains to our organization, I submit call tickets for research," says Justin Francis, a security administrator for a national entertainment retail chain. "The process is there, but it's manual."
Tying it all back to risk, respondents want to have better automation around reporting mechanisms in order to placate not only management, but auditors. Many rely on homegrown reporting applications that produce outputs in spreadsheets and PDFs, or via Crystal Reports.
"Giving management the warm and fuzzies is always important," Kramer says. "Sometimes, varying communications with a common message is needed. You can't tell whether your audience is tactile, visual, or auditory in receptiveness, so you just have to keep trying."

There also stood before
Myne eyes the grim Pheocomes both man and horse who wore
A Lyons skinne uppon his backe fast knit with knotts afore.
He snatching up a timber log (which scarcely two good teeme
Of Oxen could have stird) did throwe the same with force extreeme
At Phonolenyes sonne. The logge him all in fitters strake,
And of his head the braynepan in a thousand peeces brake,
That at his mouth, his eares, and eyes, and at his nosethrills too,
His crusshed brayne came roping out as creame is woont to doo
From sives or riddles made of wood, or as a Cullace out
From streyner or from Colender. But as he went about
To strippe him from his harnesse as he lay uppon the ground,
(Your father knoweth this full well) my sword his gutts did wound,
Teleboas and Cthonius bothe, were also slaine by mee.
Sir Cthonius for his weapon had a forked bough of tree.
The tother had a dart. His dart did wound mee. You may see
The scarre therof remayning yit. Then was the tyme that I
Should sent have beene to conquer Troy. Then was the tyme that I
Myght through my force and prowesse, if not vanquish Hector stout,
Yit at the least have hilld him wag, I put you out of Dout.
But then was Hector no body: or but a babe. And now
Am I forspent and worne with yeeres. What should I tell you how
Piretus dyde by Periphas? Or wherefore should I make
Long processe for to tell you of sir Ampycus that strake
The fowrefoote Oecle on the face with dart of Cornell tree,
The which had neyther head nor poynt? Or how that Macaree
Of Mountaine Pelithronye with a leaver lent a blowe
To Erigdupus on the brest which did him overthrowe?
Full well I doo remember that Cymelius threw a dart
Which lyghted full in Nesseyes flank about his privie part.
And think not you that Mops, the sonne of Ampycus, could doo
No good but onely prophesye. This stout Odites whoo
Had bothe the shapes of man and horse, by Mopsis dart was slayne,
And labouring for to speake his last he did but strive in vayne.
For Mopsis dart togither nayld his toong and neather chappe,
And percing through his throte did make a wyde and deadly gappe.
Fyve men had Cene already slayne: theyr wounds I cannot say:
The names and nomber of them all ryght well I beare away.
The names of them were Stiphelus, and Brome, and Helimus,
Pyracmon with his forest bill, and stout Antimachus.
Out steppes the biggest Centawre there, huge Latreus, armed in
Alesus of Aemathias spoyle slayne late before by him.
His yeeres were mid tweene youth and age, his courage still was yoong,
And on his abrun head hore heares peerd heere and there amoong.
His furniture was then a swoord, a target and a lawnce
Aemathian like. To bothe the parts he did his face advaunce,
And brandishing his weapon brave, in circlewyse did prawnce
About, and stoutly spake theis woordes: And must I beare with yow,
Dame Cenye? for none other than a moother (I avow)
No better than a moother will I count thee whyle I live.
Remembrest not what shape by birth dame nature did thee give?
Forgettst thou how thou purchasedst this counterfetted shape
Of man? Consyderest what thou art by birth? and how for rape
Thou art become the thing thou art? Go take thy distaffe, and
Thy spindle, and in spinning yarne go exercyse thy hand.
Let men alone with feates of armes. As Latreus made this stout
And scornefull taunting in a ring still turning him about,
This Cenye with a dart did hit him full uppon the syde
Where as the horse and man were joyned togither in a hyde.
The strype made Latreus mad: and with his lawnce in rage he stracke
Uppon sir Cenyes naked ribbes. The lawnce rebounded backe
Like haylestones from a tyled house, or as a man should pat
Small stones uppon a dromslets head. He came more neere with that,
And in his brawned syde did stryve to thrust his swoord. There was
No way for swoord to enter in. Yit shalt thou not so passe
My handes (sayd he.) Well sith the poynt is blunted thou shalt dye
Uppon the edge: and with that woord he fetcht his blow awrye,
And sydling with a sweeping stroke along his belly smit.
The strype did give a clinke as if it had on marble hit.
And therewithall the swoord did breake, and on his necke did lyght.
When Ceny had sufficiently given Latreus leave to smyght
His flesh which was unmaymeable, Well now (quoth he) lets see,
If my swoord able bee or no to byght the flesh of thee.
In saying so, his dreadfull swoord as farre as it would go
He underneathe his shoulder thrust, and wrinching to and fro
Among his gutts, made wound in wound. Behold with hydeous crye
The dowblemembred Centawres sore abasht uppon him flye,
And throwe theyr weapons all at him. Theyr weapons downe did fall
As if they had rebated beene, and Cenye for them all
Abydes unstriken through. Yea none was able blood to drawe.
The straungenesse of the cace made all amazed that it sawe.
Fy, fy for shame (quoth Monychus) that such a rable can
Not overcome one wyght alone, who scarcely is a man.
Although (to say the very truthe) he is the man, and wee
Through fayntnesse that that he was borne by nature for to bee.
What profits theis huge limbes of ours? what helpes our dowble force?
Or what avayles our dowble shape of man as well as horse
By puissant nature joynd in one? I can not thinke that wee
Of sovereigne Goddesse Juno were begot, or that wee bee
Ixions sonnes, who was so stout of courage and so hault,
As that he durst on Junos love attempt to give assault.
The emny that dooth vanquish us is scarcely half a man
Whelme blocks, and stones, and mountaynes whole uppon his hard brayne pan:
And presse yee out his lively ghoste with trees. Let timber choke
His chappes, let weyght enforce his death in stead of wounding stroke.
This sayd: by chaunce he gets a tree blowne downe by blustring blasts
Of Southerne wynds, and on his fo with all his myght it casts,
And gave example to the rest to doo the like. Within
A whyle the shadowes which did hyde mount Pelion waxed thin:
And not a tree was left uppon mount Othris ere they went.
Sir Cenye underneathe this greate huge pyle of timber pent,
Did chauf and on his shoulders hard the heavy logges did beare.
But when above his face and head the trees up stacked were,
So that he had no venting place to drawe his breth: One whyle
He faynted: and another whyle he heaved at the pyle,
To tumble downe the loggs that lay so heavy on his backe,
And for to winne the open ayre ageine above the stacke:
As if the mountayne Ida (lo) which yoonder we doo see
So hygh, by earthquake at a tyme should chaunce to shaken bee.
Men dowt what did become of him. Sum hold opinion that
The burthen of the woodes had driven his soule to Limbo flat.
But Mopsus sayd it was not so. For he did see a browne
Bird flying from amid the stacke and towring up and downe.
It was the first tyme and the last that ever I behild
That fowle. When Mopsus softly saw him soring in the feeld,
He looked wistly after him, and cryed out on hye:
Hayle peerlesse perle of Lapith race, hayle Ceny, late ago
A valeant knyght, and now a bird of whom there is no mo.
The author caused men beleeve the matter to bee so.
Our sorrow set us in a rage. It was too us a greef
That by so many foes one knyght was killd without releef.
Then ceast wee not to wreake our teene till most was slaine in fyght,
And that the rest discomfited were fled away by nyght.
