CLEPA participates at first exchange of views with the European Commission about European Emission Standards for Light and Heavy Duty Vehicles
On October 24, the European Commission organized a stakeholder event on the future of emission standards for the automotive industry. CLEPA welcomed the opportunity to contribute to evidence gathering and regulatory development on future EU emission standards. It also presented views, experience and position of automotive suppliers as vital stakeholders in the European automotive industry. Looking forward, we believe that a fact-based assessment of the current status and future potential is essential, taking into account environmental, social and economic priorities.
The event brought together scientific evidence from the Joint Research Center of the European Commission (JRC) and academia, as well as gathered the opinions of different stakeholders on the future of emission standards for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles. Discussed topics included lessons learned from developing the latest emission standards and the way forward, scientific evidence on emissions gathered by the JRC, and evidence on emissions collected by the scientific community.
CLEPA participated in the event by presenting experience and opinions of its members as vital stakeholders in the European automotive industry. Specifically, CLEPA presented a position on a potential Post EURO 6/VI regulation framework for Light & Heavy duty vehicles. We believe that potential environmental benefits should be robustly assessed to determine the extent to which further regulatory measures are necessary. Sufficient lead-time before mandatory application of parameters, methodology and requirements is necessary to allow industry investments. New emission limits should consider the effects of CO2 targets and be oriented towards achieving EU air quality targets. In doing so, technology and fuel neutrality must be a key principle.
More information about the meeting can be found on the event's webpage.

Classification: Magic item (Hyborian Era)
Creator: Unrevealed (presumably an agent of Set and/or the Serpent Men)
User/Possessors: Formerly King Eannatum of Makkalet, King Ghannif of Pah-Dishah, Red Sonja
First Appearance: Conan the Barbarian I#24 (March, 1973)
Powers/Abilities/Functions: A golden tiara, fashioned
out of gold in the form of a snake with jewels for its eyes, it would transform
into a giant serpent and slay any who touched it without first saying, "Ka Nama
Kaa Lajerama." The serpent was perhaps 30' long, immensely strong, possessed of
large & sharp fangs, and coated with golden scales. Beneath and between the
scales, however, was living flesh. If the serpent was slain, it would revert
back into the Serpent-Tiara.
The Tiara may have possessed additional powers, as Ghannif prized it highly.
(Savage Sword of Conan#1/3 (fb) / Conan the Barbarian I#24 (fb) - BTS) - Via an apparent clerical error, the Serpent-Tiara was part of the dowry given to King Eannatum of Makkalet when he married Melissandra, daughter of King Ghannif of Pah-Dishah, Makkalet's sister state.
(Savage Sword of Conan#1/3 (fb) / Conan the Barbarian I#24 (fb) - BTS) - King Ghannif employed the mercenary Red Sonja, instructing her to travel to Makkalet alongside a number of soldiers. Pretending to be honoring Pah-Dishah's commitment to Makkalet against the Turanian hordes besieging her, she was actually to reclaim the Serpent-Tiara for him.
(Savage Sword of Conan#1/3 (fb)) - King Ghannif told Sonja that if she succeeded she would have the most precious gift within his kingly power to bestow.
(Conan the Barbarian I#24 (fb) - BTS) - King Ghannif cautioned Sonja that before touching the Tiara she must speak the words "Ka Nama Kaa Lajerama."
(Conan the Barbarian I#24) - Red Sonja led Conan into the royal palace of Makkalet, not telling him what she was looking for. They split up, and Sonja located the Tiara; entranced by its life-like beauty, she grabbed the Tiara and prepared to abscond with it, forgetting to first speak the words she had been told. The Tiara then came to life, transforming into a monstrous golden serpent. Sonja recalled the words and voiced them to no avail at that point. Sonja screamed and Conan rushed to the rescue, but he was swiftly wrapped in its coils. Sonja distracted the serpent and Conan smashed it in the face with a full treasure chest, paining it and gaining his freedom. It swiftly recovered and targeted Sonja again, but Conan leapt atop its head and drove his sword into it down to the hilt. The serpent's death-throes smashed Conan into the ceiling and then back into the large heap of gold below, but then it turned back into the Tiara. Speaking, "Ka Nama Kaa Lajerama," Sonja reclaimed the Tiara and she and Conan fled the castle, though Sonja then abandoned him, taking the Tiara with her.
(Savage Sword of Conan#1/3) - Sonja returned to Pah-Dishah, gave the Serpent-Tiara to Ghannif, and demanded her reward. Ghannif tried to force her to accept the reward -- himself -- and force her to be his lover, but Sonja ultimately slew him.
Comments: Created by Roy Thomas and Barry Smith.
A curious limitation of the Serpent Men is
that they cannot speak the words "Ka nama kaa lajerama." This phrase--referred
to by the Serpent as the Words that Unweave causes them pain and
universally forces a disguised Serpent Man to reveal his true nature. In some
cases it has proven sufficient to actually drive off a squad of Serpent Men.
The use of this phrase almost certainly ties the Serpent-Tiara to the Serpent Men and/or Set.

Contributed by Jonathan Stevenson / Summer is irrevocably a time for diversion and good cheer, but how much escapism can be indulged in good conscience is relative to the times, and these are deeply troubled ones. DC Moore�s zingy group exhibition �ZIG ZAG ZIG,� on view through August 10, strikes a fine balance between the sunny seasonal mood and the dark standing reality.
Largely a painting show, �ZIG ZAG ZIG� features two of Didier William�s signature eye paintings, the larger one depicting a hulking mass confronting another one of a different nature (pictured at top) and the smaller one a pair of feet near the edge of a drop. There�s whimsy in both, but it�s tempered by an equally strong sense of dread, and the dominant figurative elements � composed as they are of outwardly looking eyes � seem intent on judging the viewer. William lets no one off the hook.
Chie Fueki�s jangled, freewheeling compositions encompass and to an extent obscure people who are exposed � on a bike, in a car, busking � and struggling to be seen or heard in a maelstrom or a cacophony. A suggestion arises that anonymity, while sometimes comforting, risks lack of acknowledgment and effective muteness. Alexi Worth explores a similar idea in three deceptively sedative paintings of transparent ballot boxes � one containing an abundance of donations, another about equally full of ballots themselves, but the box in the middle sparse with suggestions. On a different wall is another wrong-footing painting of a cherubic baby�s head that appears surreally unattached, secured only by surrounding hands.
Bridget Mullen�s three witty paintings incorporate a meta aspect into the proceedings. Perhaps the most on the nose among them is Abstraction is Inevitable� quaintly subversive in what is otherwise a resolutely figurative show � in which a (barely) discernible figure is twisted and distorted by various notional perils of the practical world. The cartoonish cast and the flash-and-spray-paint medium lends the painting jaunty humor, but there�s no getting around the mordant content. Ditto Reel Registers Register Real� conjuring, maybe, casual moviegoers in tears � and What Paintings Want� which could be a firm grip on something knowably valuable but ineffable.
Duane Michals� three craftily engaging video pieces � by turns melodramatic (Interruptus), deadpan irreverent (Thrill), and self-consciously nerdy (Zip Zap Zip) � deal respectively with infidelity, seduction, and philosophical reflection, establishing a fitting set of tones and themes for the show overall. Doron Langberg�s quietly erotic paintings, for their part, ground the show with a kind of pastoral constant that affirms the release of summer, though mindfully. Capping off the show is Joyce Kozloff�s JEEZ, a busy, gargantuan map of Christological references, from the elegiac to the kitschy to the malign � the full range of comforts, trifles, and risks that religion and indeed institutions of all kinds hold out.
The bonus attraction, in the project space, is a compact but terrific show of drawings and works on paper called �Line Up.� Standouts include masterful pieces by Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Edward Hopper, Franz Kline, Hilla Rebay, and George Tooker. Jacob Lawrence�s House in Italy � its drooping flower, bare lightbulb, and leaky ceiling juxtaposed with determined leisure-seekers � captures just about the right spirit.These buoyant yet discerning shows may be no day at the beach, but they are an eminently viable alternative.
�ZIG ZAG ZIG,� DC Moore, Chelsea, New York, NY. Through August 10, 2018. Artists include Duane Michals, Chie Fueki, Joyce Kozloff, Doron Langberg, Bridget Mullen, Didier William, and Alexi Worth.
�Line Up,� DC Moore, Chelsea, New York, NY. Through August 10, 2018. Artists include Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Charles Burchfield, Isabel Bishop, Paul Cadmus, David Driskell, Edward Hopper, Mark Innerst, Valerie Jaudon, Robert Kushner, Franz Kline, Jacob Lawrence, Whitfield Lovell, Nathan Oliveira, Katia Santiba�ez, Ben Shahn, Claire Sherman, Michael Stamm, Barbara Takenaga, George Tooker, and Darren Waterston.

CE Primary School
Overflowing with Thankfulness, Inspiration and Joy
Friday 13th March 2020
Dear Parents/Carers,
Update on Coronavirus
I am writing this letter to update you following the Prime Minister's announcement yesterday.
The Prime Minister announced that any member of the public with a high temperature or sudden and persistent cough must self-isolate for 7 days. If your child has a high temperature or a cough please keep them at home and contact the office for further advice.
Based on the current evidence, the best way to stop the spread of the virus is basic personal hygiene.
We have and will continue to take the following precautions:
· All staff have been briefed on the signs of Coronavirus and posters are displayed in key places around the school.
· Pupils have been told how to reduce the risk of infection, by frequently washing their hands.
· Teachers remind the children on a daily basis to wash their hands with the anti-bacterial soap provided.
· The message of 'Catch it, bin it, kill it,' has been shared with the children.
· All classes have been provided with additional anti-bacterial soap, paper towels and tissues.
· Our cleaners have been prioritising toilets, door handles and surfaces to reduce the risk of infections being spread.
The school remains open unless we are advised to close by the Local Authority or where it
would be unsafe to open due to low members of staff. We have no confirmed cases of
Coronavirus in our school and have been advised to operate as normal. The advice that
we are following from Public Health is regularly updated and I would encourage you to
follow the updates on the website which offers sensible and unbiased information, to
anyone who might be worried. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/coronavirus
Yours sincerely
Mrs H Melidoro

This last week has been busy, busy, busy…… in amongst it all were 4 flights, 3 cities, 2 Spanish i-pad apps and 1 bottle of pink champagne.
Talking of champagne I believe you should always have a bottle in your fridge, waiting for something to celebrate. It's a matter of principle….and if it has been sitting there for too long, you just need to look a bit closer for what deserves celebration: there is always something….and if not, just share it with me and I will help you find something.
I started off with shooting Alex & Kevin's fun-filled celebration of a wedding at Shoreditch House with almost certainly the funniest groom's speech I have ever heard…..then a whistlestop trip to Ibiza to hang out with the pack, grab some end of summer sunshine, and one of Raco Verd's delicious Rico ciabatta's…. when you haven't been able to eat gluten or dairy for pretty much 6 months, a well made chicken & avocado fresh ciabatta, smothered with mayonnaise is like the holy grail of sandwiches….a welcome oasis in the desert of food restrictions….. I still smile thinking about it….
Now one of the things I love about this job is that you never stop learning and I like to keep what I do alive and fresh….and myself inspired and moving forward. With this in mind I decided to book on to Marianne Taylor's Mnoo School Workshop. Marianne is another UK photographer who produces lovely work, in a way that's quite different to mine…and that was part of the appeal. She runs a great business and it was really inspiring to learn how she takes care of that side of things and gives her clients the best possible experience. It was an inspiring few days and I have come back with a workbook full of homework! Thank you Marianne for of heartfelt teaching, thoughts, ideas, inspiration….. and more homework than anyone could want for. I loved the open and thoughtful spirit in which you approached it all….
This week in our house we have also been inspired by George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, currently running on Channel 4. A great series about small spaces and filled with amazing creativity, design and inspiration. We're about to embark on our own second big building project in a year and I really enjoyed this. Somehow 101 projects and meetings this week turned into the Man designing our new kitchen, ordering it and shipping it out to Ibiza, before I even got chance to look at the drawings. Slightly nervous….but as the Man said, I don't actually cook much so I am not best-placed to comment on useability and layouts.
It is true: I love to eat, I'm more than happy to let my lovely husband work his magic with the pots and pans. Where I shine is in baking: I made the best ever diary free, gluten free, sugar free, chocolate cookies this week: they tasted amazing. I meant to photograph them but I ate them all instead. Sorry.
Then was back to Ibiza for the second time this week with several exciting weddings ready to produce….the thrill of seeing the film scans download never ceases, no matter how many times I do it! Whilst the 2012 season is still in full swing for me, with weddings right up to 29th December, it's also a time to chat with new clients for 2013, and it's exciting to hear about their plans & hear new love stories…….
The seasons are changing and like many of you out there, our whole pack came down with colds….yes, Lolo included…..we took him to the vets at the start of the week and what we thought was something stuck in his throat turned out to be a sore throat and a cold. Bless him. I have committed the ultimate bad-dog-mum sin, and he is lying on the bed with me as I type…..My feet are currently crushed by 32.4kg of bulldog. It's a strangely comforting feeling.
This week I am going to raise my glass of champagne to Lolo, who is the face of December in Bulldog Rescue's new 2013 Charity Calendar. Well done little pup!!

Boaters can expect a moderate chop on the intracoastal. Winds and seas will continue to be favorable for small craft boating through the weekend. Saturday's forecast looks soggy as well.
Sarah from the Sebastian Inlet Bait and Tackle Shop reports a light crowd on the jetties this morning. She says the bugs are running a few people off. For the determined, it has been a mix of Spanish mackerel, blue runners, jacks and Lookdown. Sarah says the ocean bait is picking up so much that you can almost smell the fish in the water.
Today's featured angler is Donnie Brooks of Ohio. Donnie was in town for his daughter's graduation when he found some time to sneak off to the jetty. His outing resulted in the catch of a nice jack.

Expert Reveals Why Exposed Brick Is A Concerning Decor Trend
When people renovate older homes, they often choose to expose pieces of the original structure that were walled up or covered over during previous renovations in order to restore the house to its original charm.
One such trend is exposing brick or beams that were once covered with drywall or plaster. While this can look charming and rustic, we spoke with Peter Schravemade, Manager at Virtual Staging Company, BoxBrownie, who says there are some drawbacks to this trend that folks often don't consider when they make the decision to expose the brick or the beams.
"Because of the great demand for rusticity, many people are peering behind their drywall to see if there might be a gold mine of red brick underneath. The rustic look is in high demand for 2021," Schravemade shared. "Our personal experience in the real estate industry is that exposed brick revealed in the summer can create winter woes."
Winter months could cause trouble for exposed brick
As popular as the rustic look is becoming, homeowners are also concerned about energy efficiency as people adopt an ever-greener (and more economical) mindset where it comes to heating.
Coincidentally, this is where your plans to expose those charming features could come back to bite you. "If you live in a colder climate, beware," Peter Schravemade explains. "There might be a reason for that extra layer of drywall. You can probably find a half wall of brick behind your drywall, but give it at least a year before you renovate."
Why wait? There's a good reason. "Chances are you will renovate in the summer. Finding brick in the summer can make you forget that you will also have to live in your house during the winter," Schravemade explained. "The same holds true for exposed beams. Very rustic. Very farmhouse. Very appealing to the eye. Couples rejoice when they discover beautiful old beams behind the false lower ceilings in the place they have just inhabited." But when the weather turns, that's when regret can set in. Schravemade says, "In the autumn, as the temperature drops, they begin to experience drafts. In the winter, they are cursing their exposed brick and beam, and longing for that long-lost layer of drywall!"
So if you've recently bought a house and are deciding on whether to renovate to expose beams or brick, make it through a cold season first, and maybe consult an energy efficiency expert first.

Doja Cat went live on Instagram with a shaved head, and she did it because she "hated having hair.". "I remember feeling so fu___ng just exhausted with working out," said Doja. "Whenever I went to go train, I had a trainer at one point, and I'd be wearing wigs, and they would be getting tacky, they'd like retack because of the moisture, and then they'd start sliding and peeling off of my head while I'm doing this incredibly strenuous thing." "I'd be working out, but I couldn't focus because I was more concerned with how I looked…There were times I put on a beanie on top of my wig, that's on top of a wig cap, that's on top of braids." Later Doja also decided to shave her eyebrows before her makeup artist said she was coming to her to do it in the live chat.
Did your life change after shaving your head?

How is it possible that the ones that already have a head start, that sit on the experience, the resources and the know-how, get overtaken by newcomers that seem to come from out of nowhere?
The simple answer is that it is really hard to act small when you're big. Large corporations also tend to overestimate their entrepreneurial capabilities. But entrepreneurship is not automatically in a large corporation's genes just because it was once a start-up founded by an entrepreneur.
When a successful start-up graduates from start-up to corporation the structures, processes, and mechanisms need to change. The skills acquired at the start-up phase, whilst useful for a growing business, are not transferable to an established corporation. Therefore, you need a complete set of new skills and profiles, including the need to be continuously innovative. To drive innovation successfully large corporations need intrapreneurship and to be successful, they need to reboot and remobilise for intrapreneurship.
What mindset is necessary to win BIG?
As new trends emerge and industries get disrupted, corporations often find themselves puzzled: "Where is our answer to this new trend? How come we don't have a product or service in this category? How could we have missed this opportunity?"
In my experience the most common answer is that you didn't miss it. You probably had it but lost it in the process of trying to make it fit into the corporate machinery. More than likely it was treated like a traditional internal project, which led to death by a thousand paper cuts.
I strongly believe that to win big, you need to place a bigger bet, put in some hard work and focus on the end goal. It is not as comfortable, easy, or safe, but it is the only way. I'd like to explain this with the Dakar Rally as a metaphor.
What the Dakar Rally teaches us about the innovation race
For those of you that don't know, the Dakar Rally is a dangerous, very intense, and highly competitive race. The rally runs through open landscapes and deserts with incredibly hot temperatures. Both big, established players as well as a constant stream of newcomers enter the race — very similar to the innovation race in any industry. Between the inception in 1978 and 2001, most instances of the race went from Paris to Dakar. Over time, low risk routes developed through trial and error by some of the teams.
Most teams chose the known and safer routes, as it increased their chances of making it to the finish line. What is interesting though is that over the years only 20% of the winners came from this group. Not only that, but the winners from this group had to share their victory with most of their competitors, since the safe route always meant a tight race and a crowded finishing line. This meant they also shared the exact same experience too. Consequently, they were unable to gain any unique learnings useful to outsmart their competitors in the future.
via Microsoft Teams
via Web Interface
The Risk Takers
Then there were the stables that chose to let one of their cars and teams take a new, uncharted path. These teams ran a much higher risk of not making it to the finish line. But in the races where these daring teams made it to the finishing line, they very often won. …and when they won, they usually outperformed their competitors significantly, in many cases by several days. They also gained invaluable experiences that kept them ahead of their competitors for years.
It even turned out that these mavericks were the only teams that managed to win several consecutive years. To me it is the same in the innovation race. You need to dare to let smaller teams explore unknown paths which can result in great wins and experiences that will be invaluable to prepare the whole organisation for future victories.
Remember, it's not like you are endangering your whole core business, it is just a few projects. It's like putting a few eggs in another basket and letting someone run with it alongside your corporate machinery.

A car insurance is a legal requirement. However, it is not the only reason why people spend thousands of dollars every year on it. Accidents can be costly and cause unnecessary pain, thus the need to ensure one has some layer of protection when it comes to finances.
Is Renters Insurance Essential-Pros and Cons
Renters Insurance is a special type of insurance that provides coverage for any loss or damage caused to possessions, in a rented apartment. Landlord's property insurance only provides coverage for damages caused to the actual structure and not tenant's property.
What Renters Insurance Cover
Renters Insurance is designed to provide coverage against possible bad events such as fire, smoke or water damage. In addition, it provides coverage against injuries that a visitor might incur while visiting a house of an insured tenant. Renters insurance also provides coverage in case a rented home becomes uninhabitable because of damages caused by things like storm or apartment fire. The amount of compensation depends on the type of loss one incurs as well as coverage in place. For example, there are policies that provide actual cash value as others cater for buy replacement costs coverage. Jewelry items at times come with a value limit or require one to take additional insurance coverage.
Renters Insurance Advantages
Liability Coverage
Renters Insurance relieves tenant's personal liability in the event a guest, gets injured while on the premise. It is common for the insurance to cater for medical expenses incurred because of injuries sustained while at the property.
Replacement Coverage
Renters Insurance tends to be expensive at times as they cater for costs of buying new items in case of a vandalism or theft. The insured person is most of the time paid sufficient amount of money to replace new items at today's prices.
Unlivable Property Coverage
Should a property become unlivable because of a fire, or vandalism, the insurance company, depending on coverage, may have to pay a comparably priced place for the tenant to live in for up to 12 months.
Some insurance companies offer discounts on renters insurance for people above 55 years and the retired. This is because they are at home most of the time and represent reduced risks.
Dog Bites
Some renters insurers prove coverage if your dog bites someone while in the property or off property. Disadvantages of Renters Insurance Coverage
Renters Insurance can be expensive thus reducing the amount of disposable income that one might have for saving. It is thus important to first consider the price of replacing household goods before taking cover.
Flooding and Earthquakes
It is extremely difficult to find a Renters Insurance that provides coverage against flooding and earthquakes. If one lives in the high-risk area, it may be important to take an additional policy.
High-Value Item Deficiency
Terms of a renters insurance might not cover a very valuable item thus forcing one to pay extra to take out a separate policy.
Is Renters Home Insurance Essential
Renters home Insurance is designed to provide valuable financial help in the event of a personal property damage or liability to a third party. It is essential if you are renting a home and want to be sure that your valuable possession is always protected from unforeseen events such as fire theft or damage. While Renter's insurance is not mandatory by law, some landlords require it as part of a rental agreement in a lease.

With the advent of electronic dance music, techno music, trap music, and other genres, musicians are continuously on the lookout for the best instruments to make their concerts more lively and entertaining. Similarly, rapid technological advancements have led to great improvement in musical instruments and gadgets. This has faced out traditional DJ mixers and turntables that took a lot of space and time during setup. Currently, any freelance DJ in Dubai leverages modern DJ controllers to play better music for their audience.
But, What are DJ Controllers and How Do They Work?
Novice but enthusiastic DJs are certainly wondering what a controller is and how it accomplishes all these tasks. DJ controllers are equipment that enables the DJ to emulate both the turntable and traditional mixer on a single piece. Simply put, a DJ controller is a combination of a DJ mixer and turntable. The controller has knobs that enable the DJ to adjust frequencies, bass, volume, and other vital aspects when track mixing or DJ-ing.
DJ controllers primarily work when connected with a computer via USB. The laptop should have complementary DJ software installed to facilitate this functioning. Once the computer and DJ controller establish the connection, the computer automatically transmits track information into the controller's trackwheel and the DJ can start mixing. The signal is then sent back to the computer and to the speakers, amplifiers, and other audio equipment.
Review: Best DJ Controllers on the Market
The use of DJ controllers is on the rise. Similarly, new products are being introduced into the growing market. Despite this being good news for DJs, it makes shopping a daunting task. For any new freelance DJ in Dubai, below are the best products on the market;

How to Choose the Best DJ Controller
There are several decisions to make when searching for the right DJ controller. This could either be for personal or professional use. Below are some tips to help you select the right product.
- Primary use – you could be searching for a DJ controller for home practice or professional use in events. For personal use, find a simple controller to set up with standard features. For professional use, go for the best feature-packed controller. This will enable you to advance your profession.
- Budget – this is also directly related to the intended use. Personal use DJ controllers don't need to be pricey. However, if you are purchasing one to use in making money at events, make a sound investment.
- USB or CD connectivity – consider a DJ mixer with these features if you are used to playing music on these devices. Nonetheless, most controllers currently feature efficient CD and USB connectivity.
- Compatible software – DJ controllers can work with Traktor, Serato, or Virtual DJ. Most of these systems come with introductory versions in the rig that require updates. Always check for this.
The Bottom Line
DJ controllers are very easy to set up and use. Serious DJ-ing enthusiasts have attributed their improved DJ-ing skills and confidence in their musical skills to these controllers. That aside, they are making parties livelier and any freelance DJ in Dubai can play their mixes, favorite songs, and special tracks anywhere, thanks to its portability. If you think you have practiced your skills enough, you should sign up at Bawabba to market your services. The platform opens up potential opportunities for gigs as an event DJ.

Giovanni Maria Ciocchi del Monte, better known as Pope Julius III, was born 10 September 1487 in Monte San Savino, outside of Arezzo. Hoping to define his reign as Pope with significant church reform, Pope Julius III's legacy was diminished by his rather short duration in the role (1550-1555).
Del Monte's path to the Papacy began with his uncle, Antonio Maria Ciocchi del Monte, who worked his way up in the ranks of the Catholic church from Archbishop of Manfredonia (1506-1511) to Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina in 1536 (he was even a star hostage during the 1527 Sack of Rome). It was Pope Paul III who had elected Antonio as Palestrina's Cardinal-Bishop, and thus it was through this connection that Giovanni's name was included among the list of potential candidates to replace Pope Paul III after his death in 1549.
With divisions in the church causing controversy, Giovanni was selected as a compromise candidate between factions. Assuming the Papacy on 7 February 1550, the new Pope Julius III accomplished several notable feats. Among them was the restoration of Catholicism in England in 1553. He also set out to encourage reform of the church, however this pursuit was less successful. Between 1551-1553 he worked to reestablish the Council of Trent to further modify church activities and behavior. When these efforts proved ineffective, Pope Julius III acquiesced and focused his attentions instead on artistic and architectural commissions as well as his lavish Villa Giulia. He died 23 March 1555 and was buried in Saint Peter's Basilica.

At Marashi Legal, we strive to develop and maintain honest and friendly relationships with our adversaries. The last thing we want to do when fighting against the demonization of our clients is to demonize anyone else. We hope you will join us in promoting a collegial, transparent and nutritive process for our collective clients and colleagues alike.
I read the below article many years ago, and I still think of it often: it is an epilogue from one of the books in the "In a Nutshell" series (remember those?) called "Trial and Practice Skills" by Kenny Hegland. I have obtained his permission to repost it here, and I hope you find it as inspiring and thought-provoking as I have.
For more information on how Marashi Legal uses emergent technologies in our practice, please see our Technology page.
A new lawyer attended a trial advocacy workshop. She listened to an experienced practitioner talk of witness preparation. "Everyone tells them what to wear, so I don't see what's wrong with dressing their testimony."
"I thought the analogy wasn't quite right," she told me later. "But I didn't say anything; I didn't want to come across as a moral softie."
You've chosen a tough profession.
I've covered the easy part: how to plan cross examination, how to defend depositions, and how to write Greek tragedy. Soon you will have the skills and then the issue is you and what you are becoming.
I love the "moral soft" story, as it captures so much, so quickly. It triggers two of my favorite dualisms, "hard/soft" and "public/private" and illustrates how much we run our lives to avoid rejection by others. My sense is that we must break out of these mindsets if we are to become the people we wish to be.
We view our profession as "hard," and our squeamishness as "soft." Hard trumps soft. The hard/soft delusion runs deep and tends to push us in the directions that may not be the best. Consider: Are there choices you have avoided simply because they are perceived as "soft"? Have you gutted your teeth to appear "hard" even though you may have inflicted unnecessary harm on others? What of public/private life? Can you be the same person at the office that you are at home? We all feel, Deep down, somewhat the moral softie, somewhat the outsider, somewhat the one who doesn't measure up. To mask our vulnerabilities, we roar our terrible roars and gnash our terrible teeth.
Orwell wrote of how faces grow to fit the masks. Try "being yourself" at the office. At first it won't feel right; it won't feel like being a lawyer. But no one feels "being a lawyer"; all of us simply feel "being ourselves' as we were in high school, as we were in college. So at first it is more comfortable to put on the mask; barking at secretaries and carrying a briefcase makes us feel right.
It is scary out there. But don't hide behind the mask. Face your insecurities. Shout, "be still!" and let the wild rumpus start.
We are run by the expectations of others. In War and Peace a wounded solider regains consciousness on the bloody field. There is destruction, smoke, and pain everywhere. The absurdity of it all hits him: "I am willing to die for the good opinion of people I don't even know."
Actually it is not the opinion of others that runs our lives; it is our opinion of what the opinion of others might be and usually we assume the worst. A torts professor gives his students the gruesome hypothetical: their client has committed some horrendous tort, severely injuring many. But legal research has discovered the killer loophole, one which will allow the client to walk and force the victims to suffer in silence.
"What would you do?"
"I wouldn't feel good, but I would assert the loophole!"
"Do you first discuss it with your supervising lawyer or with the client?"
"No, if you show you are a moral softie, you'll never make partner."
Likely these students have never been inside a law office, and yet they allow nonexistent partners to dictate the kind of person they will become. Maybe real clients and real partners would welcome an ethical discussion. An implicit lesson in law school is that people are only interested in short-term economic gain and the Devil take the hindmost.
In real life, there are heroes as well as pigs. Don't project the worst onto others and then conform our life to meet "their" expectations. Check it out. We misread people, at least I do. Once, in class, I was discussing the "hard/soft" dualism and how destructive it can be in terms of our rejecting parts of ourselves. I was on shaky ground-just what does it have to do with contracts? A male student in the back of the room seemed bored and hostile, I read his expression as, "You are wasting my time; get on with the real stuff." Professors, believe it or not, respond to their audience. "Well," I said, "Enough of that, time to get back to offer and acceptance." His hand shot up. "Before you leave hard/soft, it's really about masculine/feminine and, growing up, I liked books more than sports and I always felt something was wrong with me. I think a lot of men who have done well academically have suffered * * *" His voice trailed off and he began to cry.
We are sipping into important stuff: life choices. "What shall we do and how shall we live?" asked Tolstoy. I don't think we ever answer that question all at once. We answer it little by little, by the small choices we make. Over time, they add up to us.
Most critical decisions are not the stuff of existential anguish, such as whether to stay home and care for one's aged mother or go off to fight the Nazis. They are small decisions, such as whether to mislead an adversary during a negotiation, whether to inflict harm on an opposing witness, or whether to turn in early and not read that last case which may be pivotal.
I promise not to preach. I will discuss some distorting influences on your decisions and then suggest some methods by which you can approach these decisions.
Lawyers get it from both sides. We are too zealous. We gleefully inflict great harm on third parties to achieve small gains for our clients. We take no prisoners. We sell out our clients. And charge a lot. ("I've got good and bad news. The bad news is that you lost custody of the kids; the good news is that you owe me $35,000.")
There are two pressures which might make you more of a mad dog that you should be: your desire to win and the ethic of zealous representation. First, your desire to win, not to achieve justice, not to right a wrong, not to do any of those things you put into your law school application, but simply to win, as in Monopoly.
I could tell you numerous stories of law students, assigned randomly to litigate matters that never happened, on the verge of cutting throats. But my favorite involves a campus cop, who played the part of the arresting officer in a trial practice role-play. We gave him the script and he did well. After he testified, he sat with me to watch the defendant testify. The officer began to twist in his seat, his face turned red and he suddenly shouted at the defendant: "You're lying!"
There is, of course, nothing wrong with the overwhelming desire to win, unless it tempts you to cheat, which it always does. The second "mad dog" pressure is the ethic of zealous representation. The father of American Legal Ethics, David Hoffman, writing in the 19th century, suggested a list of professional resolutions. One was "Never to raise the Statute of Limitations to defeat a just debt."
Tell that to today's lawyers and they throw up. "We can't judge clients; we must stand with them in all kinds of weather, blah, blah, blah." Perhaps Hoffman justifiably lost this resolve; it is, however, a shame we have lost his mindset. To Hoffman it meant something to be a lawyer. The profession had a history, a coherence, and an independence. No doubt there were downsides to that view, such as elitism and probably sexism and racism. But there was some glory as well. Lawyers did not think of themselves as hired guns, simply doing their client's bidding. Theirs was a profession somewhat apart and their ethical lives mattered.
Today we are leaves in the wind.
Opposing the mad-dog pressures, there are those pushing you to cave in, to close up shop early and send the bill. Opposing lawyers and presiding judges are repeat players; clients come and go, talking of Michelangelo. Lawyers often have more in common with their opposing lawyers than they have with their client; they share, after all, Hadley v. Baxendale. In a classic article, Professor Blumberg details these pressures which work against the adversary ethic in the context of the criminal defense bar in a large eastern city. Clients were not represented, they were processed. His title says it all: the Practice of Law as a Confidence Game (1 Law and Society Review 15). And, of course, you have a life too.
In law there is always something else you can do. When do you know it's time to go home?
So where does all of this leave us? In making the small decisions that eventually become your life, how should you go about it?
The quest is always the same: for principled decisions, decisions freed of petty self-interest and irrational personal biases..."

Ian Hendry In 'A Suitable Case For Treatment' – Radio Times October 20th 1962 [BBC TV Production]
Picture above: Ian Hendry as Morgan Delt and Moira Redmond as Leonie Delt
Ian Hendry – A Suitable Case For Treatment, October 1962 [BBC TV Production]
By all accounts, Ian Hendry's portrayal of Morgan Delt – in the BBC's 1962 production of 'A Suitable Case for Treatment' – was considered to be exceptional.
Even David Warner, who gained considerable critical acclaim when he played the part in the film version made in 1966, agrees. David mentioned Ian's performance when he was interviewed in 2009 and stated, humbly, that:
"Ian Hendry was Morgan"
The audio of that interview is included in the article below.
It is almost certain that the BBC wiped the tape of the 1962 version and no 16mm tele recorded copy is known to exist. Another case of a significant archival loss, where we have to search for other surviving material to try and build a picture of this production.
The Radio Times edition from 20th October 1962 is such an example. We now have a clear picture [ well a still at least] of Ian's portrayal of Morgan, replete with a beard and thick black-rimmed glasses! There appears to be some kind of gadget, perhaps some kind of lens, attached to the left hand side of the spectacles. As yet I have no information as to what it is exactly, but quite possibly part of the eccentric portrayal of Morgan used in the production.
"Ian Hendry wears glasses and a thick beard in the title role, which make him closely resemble David Mercer, the play's author; and the character is, like Mercer, a Marxist writer who drinks too much and has abrasive relationships with women."
"Moira Redmond appeared alongside Ian Hendry in the The Avengers, Series 1, in very first episode of titled 'Hot Snow' [1961].
John Dankworth, who wrote the theme tune for Series 1 of The Avengers, also wrote the music for the BBC's production of 'A Suitable Case For Treatment' [1962].

David Warner – On Ian Hendry and a Suitable Case For Treatment
In this BBC interview from 2009, David Warner talks about his life and work including his well known role as Morgan in the film version of 'A Suitable Case For Treatment' (1966). He discusses the challenges of playing the part – a role which Ian Hendry also took on in the BBC production of 1962.
During this interview [from 8mins 5sec], David refers to this earlier performance and in a few brief but telling words, states that 'Ian Hendry was Morgan'.
We appreciate David's humility, but regardless of comparisons it gives us a glimpse of just how powerful Ian's performance must have been. Sadly, that BBC productions is missing, presumed wiped – but we live in hope that one day it will be discovered.
David Warner – BBC Radio Interview (2009)
Morgan – A Suitable Case For Treatment [1966]
Morgan – A Suitable Case for Treatment (also called Morgan!) is a 1966 comedy film made by British Lion. It was directed by Karel Reisz and produced by Leon Clore from a screenplay by David Mercer, based on his BBC television play A Suitable Case for Treatment (1962), the leading role at that time being played by Ian Hendry.
The film stars David Warner, Vanessa Redgrave, and Robert Stephens, with Irene Handland Bernard Bresslaw.
Plot Summary
Morgan Delt (David Warner) is a failed artist, who was raised as a communist by his parents. His upper-class wife, Leonie (Vanessa Redgrave), has given up on him and is in the process of getting a divorce in order to marry Charles Napier (Robert Stephens), an art gallery owner of her own social standing. Given the innately rich and personal world of fantasy Morgan has locked himself into, he goes off the deep end. He performs a series of bizarre stunts in a campaign to win back Leonie, including putting a skeleton in her bed and blowing up the bed as her mother sits on it. When these stunts fail, Morgan secures the help of his mother's wrestler friend Wally "The Gorilla" (Arthur Mullard) to kidnap Leonie, who still nurtures residual feelings of love tinged with pity for Morgan. The plan fails, and Morgan is arrested and imprisoned.
After escaping, he crashes the wedding reception of Leonie and Charles dressed as a gorilla, for which scene Reisz borrows clips from King Kong to illustrate Morgan's fantasy world. Morgan flees the wedding on a motorcycle with his gorilla suit on fire. He is subsequently committed to an insane asylum. Here, Leonie visits him looking visibly pregnant. With a wink, Leonie tells him he is the child's father. Morgan returns to tending a flowerbed as the camera pulls out to a longshot of the entire circular flowerbed with the enclosed flowers arranged into a hammer and sickle.
Moira Redmond – A Career Overview
As a young actress, she joined the Windmill Girls (recently evoked in the film Mrs Henderson Presents) who performed non-stop revues and nude tableux at the Windmill Theatre in the West End. Several years later, she married her first husband and emigrated to Australia, but the marriage did not endure so she returned to Britain determined to make her name as an actress. While in Australia, Moira became a successful radio actress. She played in the major radio features, Caltex Theatre and General Motors' Hour as well as plays for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. Her best remembered radio drama was Linday Hardy's Stranger in Paradise along Guy Doleman, a New Zealand actor who later had a movie career both in the US and Britain.[citation needed]
She made her stage debut as an understudy to Vivien Leigh in Peter Brook's revival of Titus Andronicus with Laurence Olivier. In July of that year, she made her London debut at the Stoll in the same production.
In 1958, she made her film debut in a thriller, entitled Violent Moment (1958), which was followed by several more roles in the films Doctor in Love (1960), A Shot in the Dark (1964) and several B-film thrillers.
Meanwhile her theatrical career had taken off with roles in Verdict (Strand), in which she played Helen Rollander; Detour After Dark (Fortune Theatre), Horizontal Hold (Comedy Theatre); Patrick Peace Hotel (Queen's); The Winter's Tale (Cambridge Theatre) and 'Flint (Comedy Theatre).
She was also a founder member of the Actors' Company with Ian McKellen. She played at the Edinburgh Festival as Helen of Troy in The Trojan Women with Flora Robson, and as Hermione in The Winter's Tale with Laurence Harvey.
Throughout the 1960s she appeared in London and the provinces in the plays of Alan Ayckbourn; she was also Lady Sheerwell in Jonathan Miller's revival of Sheridan's The School for Scandal; Maria in Twelfth Night; Mrs Wickstead in Habeas Corpus; Brand's mother in Brand; and Jocasta in Stephen Spender's trilogy Oedipus. She later toured South America for the British Council in revivals of Habeas Corpus and Shaw's Heartbreak House (as Hesione). Television appearances in the 1960s included a role in Hot Snow (the debut episode of the first series of The Avengers) and in Danger Man and The Baron among others.
By the 1970s she was increasingly in demand for television series, her theatrical training earning her roles in some of the best known television dramas of the period, including Edward the Seventh (playing Edward's mistress Alice Keppel); I, Claudius (in which she played Domitia, Claudius's mother-in-law); and Boswell's London Journey. She also appeared in The Alleyn Mysteries; Edgar Wallace Mysteries, Dixon of Dock Green, and The Sweeney.

Q&A: Coryn Rivera on being left out of the two previous Olympic Games
Missing the Olympics helped advance Coryn Rivera's European racing career. Now, Rivera wants a spot for Tokyo 2020.
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
This story appeared in the January/February 2020 print issue of VeloNews.
Coryn Rivera was left off of the 2016 U.S. Olympic team, even though she is one of the most successful American cyclists. With no women's stage races like the Tour de France, or the Vuelta a España, the Olympics are the pinnacle of the sport. Since the Rio games, Rivera has bolstered her palmares, and is one of the most revered sprinters. But is it enough to convince the selectors to name her to TeamUSA for Tokyo Olympics?
VeloNews: What role do the 2020 Olympics play in your 2020 ambitions?
Coryn Rivera: It's a huge goal of mine. As a kid you think about how cool it would be to go to the Olympics, and I always watched. I came close in 2016, and the Olympics before that. I would say my approach isn't just to focus on the Olympics. I'll continue to do the races I would normally do in the spring and summer, and my hope is that it lines me up for the Olympics. I'm in a good position right now to qualify, and it's nothing to really stress about, so long as I can stay healthy and injury-free.
VN: What's your strategy for trying to make the U.S. Olympic team?
CR: Well, it comes down to coach's selection, because the only automatic criteria was to finish top-3 at worlds, and I was 10th. The qualification period is until May 1, so I need to have consistent results from the start of the year until then. I didn't have the best spring campaign last year, but then I turned it around in the summer and got two WorldTour podiums, so I should be in good shape.
VN: You weren't selected for the team in 2016. What impact did that have?
CR: I was disappointed, of course, but I think I did a good job of refocusing and making the most out of it. I just refocused on another race that was going on during the Olympics, [Thürigen Rundfahrt] in Germany because my training had been on fire. I trained as if I was going to the Olympics, and the goal was to get a stage win. Every day I was so close: I was top-five, then top-three, and on the last day I finally got a stage win. I was stoked because I used that hunger and motivation to have a good race.
VN: What impact did that win have on your career?
CR: It put me on the radar for European teams, and that's when Team Sunweb started reaching out to see what I was doing for the next season. I think the win showed that I could handle European racing and do well in the European peloton.
VN: So, looking back, would you have done anything differently in 2016?
CR: What happens is meant to happen. I learned a lot about the process of making it to [the Olympics]. I felt like [2012] in London was the first one that I could have gone to, but I didn't really understand what it takes to go. Then, I had to stop and think, 'well, what do I actually need to do to get to the Olympics?' I had to learn about the selection process and the criteria to make it onto the long team. There's a lot of politicking that goes on that I didn't learn about until 2016.
Get to Know Coryn:
First Bike: A Cannondale with 650 wheels with no paint, just raw metal. I still have it today.
Favorite Race: De Ronde van Vlaanderen
Favorite Ride: My local Como Street group ride that I have been doing since I was 10.

Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei, URWERK founders, visit renown British tailor Timothy Everest to be fitted for a bespoke suit tailored especially for the UR-1001 Zeit Device.
About Timothy Everest
Two decades ago, Timothy Everest had a hunch. "It was the early 90s, and everybody had gone through the whole "designer" and "brand" thing," he says. "I felt like I could introduce a new generation to the joys of handmade clothing – investment pieces that were built to last."
His hunch proved right. Twenty years later, Everest presides over a bespoke tailoring business with clients ranging from art dealers to accountants to rock stars, whom he encourages to dress as (in) appropriately as they wish. "There's no house style," he says. "We're about individuality, and expressing your personality through style, shape, and all the quirky little details that make each commission unique."
Everest's infectious enthusiasm for his art, and his magpie sensibility, has led to a broad and diverse range of creative collaborations over the years. He has created costumes for movies including Atonement, Mamma Mia, Eyes Wide Shut, and Mission Impossible. He has dressed celebrities for the Oscars, designed the British Olympic Team uniforms for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, and styled Mick Jagger for his performance at the Grammy Awards in 2011.

Provide more small artificial breeding sites rather than fewer large sites
Overall effectiveness category Unknown effectiveness (limited evidence)
Number of studies: 1

How is the evidence assessed?
Background information and definitions
When providing artificial breeding sites for colonial mammals, there may be a trade-off between providing large sites, which may support larger, more-resilient populations at each site, or a greater number of small sites, which may increase the chance of at least some sites surviving threats such as predation or disease. The size of the overall population may also be influenced if the density of animals occupying these sites differs between different sized sites.

Study locations
Supporting evidence from individual studies
A replicated, controlled study in 2002–2005 of two grassland and scrubland plots at a site in Andalucia, Spain (Rouco et al. 2011) found that providing smaller artificial warrens for wild rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus supported higher rabbit densities than did larger artificial warrens. Rabbit density was higher in small artificial warrens (4–13 rabbits/12 m2 plot) than it was in large artificial warrens (11–24 rabbits/48 m2 plot). Two plots (4 ha each, 2 km apart) were fenced to exclude terrestrial predators. Each plot had 18 artificial warrens, comprising 12 small and six large warrens. Warrens were skeletons of wooden pallets covered by earth and branches. Large warrens (48 m2) were the size of four small warrens (12 m2). In autumn 2002, five rabbits were released into each small warren, and 20 rabbits were released into each large warren. Rabbits were surveyed by live-trapping, three times, from November 2004 to May 2005.Study and other actions tested

Alice Oscura, Featured Writer
Plot: A young, quiet woman finds a discarded gun in an alleyway and decides to stop being a victim.
Warning: Spoilers Ahead.
Review: So, what can I say about The Girl and the Gun? Well, apart from the fact that it is quite literally about a young woman finding a gun, this is the first thriller from the Philippines that I have ever seen. You really got to hand to Netflix for exposing viewers to content that one normally wouldn't seek out.
The Girl and the Gun, originally titled "Babae at baril", is an extremely symbolic movie that focuses on a society dominated by men and their ignorance and violent, aggressive treatment of women. It also touches upon a particular way of life in the Philippines where the gun stars as a virtual catalyst for empowering its bearer. It can also be viewed as a coming-of-age story wrapped up within a female-revenge thriller. The main protagonist (who remains unnamed) is played by actress Janine Gutierrez. Her character is a shy, socially awkward young woman from the province (countryside). She lives a life that is clearly way below the minimum wage income bracket as she cannot afford to pay her rent in full or even purchase a new pair of stockings, which is a mandatory part of her uniform for her job in the department store. This is a point that her hard-nosed boss doesn't fail to keep chastising her about every time her sees her damaged stockings.
She mostly suffers in silence and as a woman she is not respected within that type of society. She is catcalled every single night that she returns home by the same group of drunken men, and her sleazy landlord threatens to evict her because he has other people interested in the room that she shares with a roommate. Upon viewing the development of her story, you see that she is clearly ill-equipped and lacked the street smarts needed be able to combat the rough treatment of city life, especially living in a part of the city overrun with crime and corruption which is presented with grimy and gritty cinematography.
However, everyone has their boiling point! After she is assaulted by a co-worker and retrieves the discarded .38 special handgun from the alleyway, something changes in her demeanour. The way she carries herself in her posture, the expression on her face, and even her language gets more aggressive because at this point she has simply had enough. The gun is a symbol of empowerment to her and, although she hardly uses it, just the fact that she had it in her possession seemed to give her a backbone.
However, one of the main issues that I had with this film is that after building this relationship between the audience and our main protagonist we get an interruption in the flow and pacing of her story. Plugged awkwardly into the film is a backstory showing the journey and origins of the gun, from its assembly to how it switches hands and the violence that it imbues the owners with until they become consumed by either hatred or suffer ill-fated consequences. It brings to mind one of those famous quotes "With great power comes great responsibility." The girl's story does continue when the gun's story runs its course, but I would have preferred not to have my attention diverted to a bunch of new characters that lacked the careful development of the main protagonist.
Gutierrez delivers a powerfully engaging performance, and I honestly wouldn't have minded if the writers wished to continue her story. I am curious to know if she made it back home to her province and how her family would have reacted to the personality change in her. The Girl and The Gun has its flaws, but it is definitely guaranteed to pull in your attention to the story of how one gun managed to have an effect on different people's lives.
Alice's Score: 6.5 out of 10

Dark Alice has an old soul and a curious mind. I believe that anyone can be a hero and that the good guys should always win!

I also have a weird penchant for Paranormal TV shows even though the slightest sound makes me jump. I enjoy writing reviews and throwing in fun facts to pique the readers' curiosity. My ultimate goal in life would be to become a published writer one day. Read More
