Elderly Women Sue Conservators
PHOENIX (CN) – Two federal RICO complaints claim that attorneys, doctors, fiduciaries and conservators exploited two vulnerable, wealthy women by having them involuntarily declared incapacitated or incompetent, giving the defendants control of the women and their assets. Once in control, the defendants siphoned off the women's cash and assets, then abandoned them when their trusts and assets were depleted, according to the complaints.
Kim Raynak, guardian of Marie J. Long, claims that the defendants took "the vast majority" of Long's wealth to pay for fees they charged to her trust, which once was valued at more than $1.4 million.
Defendant Genevieve Olen, Long's niece, became trustee after Long suffered a stroke in May 2005 and moved Long "against her wishes" from Scottsdale to San Diego, according to the complaint. Raynak claims that Olen and other defendants failed to investigate whether Long, the "surviving spouse of a veteran of the United State military," was entitled to guardianship services through the Arizona Department of Veteran's Services at minimal or no cost, instead of causing $17,000 in attorneys fees to be paid out of her trust monthly.
The defendant Sun Valley Group, Long's in-home care provider, "charged for everything its employees and agents did," including when an employee started a grease fire in Long's home and when employees made calls to each other, according to the complaint. With Sun Valley's decision to provide in-home care for Long, it quadrupled the amount of money it was collecting from the trust, the complaint says.
Raynak says the costly disbursements reduced Long's trust to $44,000 in three years.
In the other lawsuit, Helga Mallet claims that she was wrongly declared incapacitated by Southwest Fiduciary after she was duped into transferring $240,000 to a sweepstakes scam. She says Southwest Fiduciary appointed Gerd Zimmerman as successor trustee without her consent.
Mallet claims Southwest Fiduciary then "proceeded to spend virtually every penny" of her $100,000 account "while doing nothing to protect her other assets." Gerd Zimmerman liquidated more than $350,000 of Mallet's securities to cover a negative account balance, despite the bad market conditions, she says.
Mallet says the defendants sold her photo albums and other personal belongings and failed to pay the 77-year-old woman's mortgage payments.
Raynak and Mallet seek treble damages for breach of fiduciary duty, legal malpractice and civil rights violations.
The defendants in Raynak's complaint are Gary Olen, Arizona Care Management, Peter and Heather Frenette, Jerome Elwell, Warner Angle Hallum Jackson & Formanek, Lauren Garner, Jaburg & Wilk, Brenda Church, Gammage & Burnham, Frazer Ryan Goldberg & Arnold, Brian Theut, and Theut Theut & Theut.
Defendants in the Mallet complaint are Zimmermann Nielsen & Colleagues, The Sun Valley Group, Alisa Gray, Gray & Fassold, Peter and Heather Frenette, Charles M. Dyer, Khalil Saigh, Dyer & Ferris, and Gregory and Peggy Dovico.
Both plaintiffs are represented by Grant H. Goodman.

gotU Roadside Assistance
Roadside assistance the new way
Roadside assistance the new way
gotU is the new on-demand fully app-based pay as you go alternative to roadside assistance in Australia, providing help for the top 5 car breakdown problems. There's no joining fee and no annual membership fee – only pay for what you need, when you need it.
If you're ever broken down on the side of the road and need a tow, fuel, jump start, have a flat tyre, or have locked your keys in the car and need help, gotU is only a tap of the app away.
The gotU idea came to life through Allianz Global Assistance, using the same network of service providers. Our gotU research showed that 18% of people don't have any form of roadside assistance and that Australians wanted an alternative to traditional roadside assistance. People wanted choice, better value, and the ability to only pay for what they needed, when they needed it.

Basic information about the Kredit boarding system
Kredit boarding system has been provided and developed by the company Anete. Boarders order their meals through their boarding account which is assigned an active card. The boarder is identified by the card in the canteen. The boarding account in Kredit system is made for MU persons automatically (once they are in an active relationship to MU they have an active card).
Types of accounts
Kredit system works with two types of accounts:
- Deposit - boarders spend their in advance deposited finances.
- Free - boarders have their meals during the month on credit and they cover the claim subsequetly.
Meal prices
Meal prices are listed in current menus after signing into Webkredit or Mobilkredit, on the screens in canteens and in a printed form. They are determined for individual boarders by categorizing the boarder into a group:
- Student, full time studies.
- Employee, employees with a right for subsidies provided by the employer. Employees may find more information in the leaflet MU canteen meals for employees.
- Boarder without any benefit, employees without any subsidy, students of combined studies, persons outside MU.
Categorizing MU boarders into groups is carried out by ÚVT MU based on personnel (PaMS) and study MU system (IS) data. SKM MU does not evaluate the data, only receives them, every day at 1:00 a.m.
SUPO Kredit
The Kredit boarding system is interconnected with the SUPO system (The Public System of Remittances and Claims of Persons). Boarders who have an active SUPO can use this interconnection in two forms according to the type of their account:
- Boarders with a deposit account can use cashless transfers of finances (recharging) between SUPO and Kredit (manual as well as automatic) in the application WebKredit (the biggest group of boarders consists mainly of students and employees).
- Boarders with a free account use SUPO for covering their month's claims which is carried out in the form of deduction from their salary at MU. This system can be used optionally only by MU employees.
WebKredit, MobilKredit
Each boarder who has an active account and active card in Kredit system has the possibility to operate his/her boarding account through web application WebKredit and mobile applications for Android and iOS (iPad, iPhone) MobilKredit
Other customers
Other customers, outside MU, can have their meals at SKM MU in two ways:
In cash. Catering services accept Sodexo, Ticket Restaurant a Chèque Déjeuner meal tickets.
- Through manually opened boarding accounts with a card which can be bought in the catering management office. This allows you to use the ordering system and operating the account through the application WebKredit.
Meal ordering
Persons with an active boarding account can use the system of pre-ordering meals. The lunch order must be carried out by 2.15 pm. of the previous day by one of these means:
- online application WebKredit,
- mobile application MobilKredit,
scanner with keyboard (
week's reader) - it is possible to order meals for a week in advance - instructions.
quick scanners (
reader) - order a specific meal for the next day by a mere application of the card - instructions.
Meal distribution
After ordering the meal, the meal is issued at a specific distribution point and at a specific time which is done by applying the card to the scanner without selecting a number. The system itself will recognize if the boarder has already ordered and will issue the order. If the boarder accidentally enters the number again and applies the card, the system will accept this as a new order.
Providing the boarders cannot pick up the order, for any reason, they can (e.g. through the application WebKredit ) offer the meal to the market. If another boarder takes the ordered meal out, it is passed to him or her.
The meals can be also bought without pre-ordering (
freely) till the meals are sold out, through quick scanners (
reader) or at cash desks.
Deposits on boarding and deposit accounts:
- in cash at a cash desk of any MU catering service (we accept meal tickets)
- by a transfer of finances from the SUPO system (one-time or automatic)
Withdrawals from boarding deposit accounts:
- in cash up to the amount of 100 CZK at a cash desk of any catering service
- over 100 CZK at the canteen operating manager (Vinařská, Moravské nám., Veveří, ACADEMIC restaurant) also in case of finishing the studies when the boarder's account in the boarding system is no longer active
- by cashless payment by transfer from the Kredit boarding system to SUPO
Rate our services
Using the Canteen Rating application in IS, you may rate the selection and quality of meals and give us your feedback regarding other aspects of individual catering services.

Commenting on the UCL's Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration's new report "Fiscal Effects of Immigration to the UK", Research Director of the Adam Smith Institute, Sam Bowman, said:
This report shows that immigration from the European Union (and other EEA countries) is extremely good for the UK. Since EEA immigrants pay more in tax than they use in services, they are not a burden on the welfare state – in fact they are helping to prop it up. Opening the UK up to Eastern European immigration was one of the best things the last Labour government did. Restricting EU immigration now would mean higher taxes for Britons and is a very bad idea.
Immigrants' fiscal contribution is only a small part of the story, though. By bringing new skills to the UK and allowing for a deeper division of labour, immigration boosts Britons' productivity and wages. And the evidence shows that immigrants are more entrepreneurial on average, so they create jobs by setting up new businesses.
On the other hand, non-EEA immigrants were a large net cost to the Exchequer over the 1995-2011 period studied. This is partially because non-EEA immigrants tend to have more children on average than EEA immigrants and partially because the data includes immigrants who had at this point retired. In both cases the immigrants' lifetime net cost is likely to be much lower than the data suggest. However, to increase non-EEA immigrants' fiscal contribution we should make it much easier for skilled workers to immigrate to the UK. That would help the British economy by allowing British firms to hire the best talent available, and help to subsidise the welfare state by importing the best taxpayers the world has to offer.

The National Basketball Association has licensed China's Tencent to be its partner in digital content for the next five years in China.
Effective on July 1, the deal recognizes Tencent's huge position in Internet social networking and commerce in the world's most populous market.

Tencent will have the rights to air that content on personal computers and mobile devices.
The NBA has a global following, and China is a hotbed for professional basketball. It has its own leagues, and "The Association" garnered attention during the career of Houston Rockets center Yao Ming, the Chinese star who played in the NBA from 2002 to 2011. Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin, a California native, has also drawn Chinese fans.
NBA live games and content will be available for fans to access through Tencent's NBA sections on QQ.com, v.QQ.com, QQ and Mobile QQ, Qzone, Weixin, Tencent Video app, and Tencent News app. Tencent and the NBA will also launch the first-ever NBA League Pass in China, providing fans with access to a full season of live and on-demand NBA games online and via mobile devices.

Tencent and the NBA will also jointly manage and operate the NBA's digital assets in China, including the official NBA online destination NBA.com/China and sites for all 30 NBA teams, NBA events, and merchandise. And Tencent will launch the NBA Game Time app on mobile devices.
Lastly, the NBA and Tencent will unveil the NBA Community including an NBA dedicated gaming section within the Tencent Games platform, a more integrated social commerce platform, and a premium subscription service offering registered users special access to NBA content on Tencent.

Matt Blackett: Jim Dunlop's 75th Birthday Bash
Of all the cool happenings over the 4th of July weekend, the highlight had to be Jim Dunlop's 75th Birthday Bash. The swanky affair to honor the accessory icon was held at San Francisco's famous Bimbo's nightclub and featured great food, great entertainment, and a cool collection of 350-ish industry types that included players, dealers, builders, designers, and well connected admirers.
The festivities kicked off with a few words from the guest of honor, and Big Jim spoke eloquently and humbly about his career and what the assembled crowd meant to him. The Dunlop brand has become such a mainstay that it's easy to forget that it started with a guy from Scotland who created indispensible products, practically out of thin air. It was seriously impressive to think about what Dunlop has become when listening to stories about the company's humble beginnings. And, as if he weren't already cool enough, Mr. Dunlop rocked a Scottish kilt for the occasion and sat in with the band towards the end of the night.
Dunlop's son, Jimi, served as a part-time emcee and tried to explain to the crowd what it's like to have a dad who is a legend and an icon, and did so with a great blend of humor and sincerity.
In attendance that night were Randy Smith of Mesa/Boogie fame (who had great Keith Richards stories), Richard Hoover of Santa Cruz Guitars, super-tech Gary Brawer, guitar slinger Stevie Salas, Tower of Power's Jeff Tamelier, Way Huge stompbox guru Jeorge Tripps, the makers of the CryBaby documentary film, and many, many more.
Congrats to the Dunlop folks for putting together an amazing party and congrats and happy birthday to Jim Dunlop. I speak for everyone who has ever turned a peg winder, strummed with a Tortex pick, or hummed into a kazoo when I say, Jim—we're glad you were born!

The Totem headset was presented to developers at the E3 conference, and our engineers are hard at work integrating hardware and design improvements to the soon to be released consumer edition of the Totem headset.
The new Totem prototype, with a sleak industrial design, and state of the art positional and motion recognition technology.
Faster and smarter: Totem continues to stand apart from simple cell phone designs, and thanks to a recent partnership with SoftKinetic, it now incorporates state of the art hardware that improves Totem's positional tracking and hand gesture recognition capabilities. The state of the art SoftKinetic Time-of-Flight camera, combined with Vrvana's 1440p OLED displays and new industrial design, pushes the Totem ahead. The new design is much more comfortable, letting you play longer! New alpha test units will be shipping to developers in the next few months, in preparation for next year's consumer release.
Next stop: Boston VR on June 30th, and the Gamescom trade fair in August, where the Totem headset will be presented to even more virtual reality developers at one of the largest gaming conferences in Europe.

Oh my darling boy...My first born baby, 6 years ago they placed you into my arms.
I don't exactly want to say it went by so fast, because in a way I cannot remember life without you in it.
More so, I think I'm astounded by how much you've grown and changed since I first met you.
I thought, as a first time parent that I would shape you...but my dearest one, you have shaped me.
You have taught me everything I know about being a mother. It has been hard at times. I have wanted to run far away, at times. But it is the most worthy thing I have ever done.
This year was a big year for you.
You started kindergarten at a spanish emersion program in our local school.
I was so afraid.
I felt so guilty that I was maybe ruining you.
Or that our lack of nature journaling free living homeschooling would make you hate learning.
But you flew! You took off and love learning so much. Your teachers say you run into school every single day eager and full of sunshine.
You grew out of your very loved 2T clothing just in the past few months. You're a tiny spitfire of a boy (just like your mama).
You love dressing yourself and proudly march into public wearing the craziest outfits. I love that. I love letting you do your thing.
I cannot believe how much you and Sullivan fight and yet how tenderly you love each other. You look out for each other. Ever since Sullivan was born you've shared a room and it was NOT EASY. As soon as we move into a house big enough for each of you to have your own room, you refuse to sleep anywhere but wrapped up in eachother's arms.
I'm completely in love with it.
You love Lucy Miller. You squeal with delight at her new tricks and tell anyone who will listen that your baby can walk, or your baby can talk. You carry her around (maybe a little too much for my liking), but you are vigilant about taking legos out of her mouth and making sure she is happy. I love watching you hold her.
I see glimmers of myself in you.
You just keep getting better. Even though part of my heart sinks at the thought of leaving milestones in our wake, you honestly just keep getting better.
These are some of my favorite things about you now:
Your freckles.
Your facial expressions.
Your deep questions about life and God.
Your care for others and your justice loving heart.
How much you don't care what anyone thinks of you.
I love when you get so lost in play that you just babble on and on.
I love watching you write letters and art projects, you are so very serious and concentrated and your tiny tongue sticks out on the side, like it always has.
You are a miraculous work dear Barclay.
I am just giddy for the year ahead and seeing how you grow and what you will do.
I'm so glad you know how much I love you,
Last two photos by the artist Joy Prouty.

I was thinking how easy it is to fill time with the things that don't matter; how easily we become preoccupied with being productive, achieving, doing just one more thing, all the while forgetting focus on the things we really love. And, because I believe there is great power in listing things, I decided I'm going to do a few posts about the things I intend to show up for this summer.
The first thing I want to show up for this summer is: Running first thing in the morning with the dog. Rabbits cross the road then, and the birds are loud as the mist rises off the grass. My muscles gradually reclaim their grace. This is a way I like to begin the day. One foot, then the next, heart pounding, blood thrumming. Grateful.
// Join in! What do you want to show up for this summer?

Ms. Cassie V. Mason-Gibbs
Installation Management Agency
North East Region Office, Logistics Division
Transportation Branch
SFIM-NE-LD-T, Bldg 5A, Rm 204
Fort Monroe, VA 23651-1048
Dear Ms. Mason-Gibbs:
This is in response to your e-mail dated April 17, 2003, and several phone calls with Mr. Chris Calamita of my staff concerning the modification of a seven-passenger van currently being leased by the U.S. Army. As explained below, a conversion company may modify the van so long as the modifications do not take the vehicle out of compliance with any of the relevant Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSSs).
In your letter, you stated that you are considering modifying a model year 2001 Dodge Caravan by either "removing the middle bench seat and replacing it with chairs that swivel (Captains seat) and lock in the 180 degree position (to travel backwards)" or reversing the orientation of the middle bench seat so that it faces rearward. You further stated that several conversion companies refused to perform the work because it was their contention that such modifications would be illegal. In a phone conversation with Mr. Ernest Mitchell from your branch, he stated that the modifications are intended to allow passengers the ability to perform "office work" and conduct meetings in the vehicle.
I am pleased to have this opportunity to explain our laws and regulations to you. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is authorized to issue motor vehicle safety standards that apply to the manufacture and sale of new motor vehicles and new items of motor vehicle equipment (49 U.S.C. Chapter 301). Because NHTSA recognized the unique transportation needs of the Armed Forces and the specialized functions of many military vehicles, we established a limited exemption for military vehicles. [1] Under 49 CFR 571.7(c), vehicles or items of equipment "manufactured for, and sold directly to, the Armed Forces of the United States in conformity with contractual specifications" are exempted from our Federal safety standards. However, the exception would not apply in this instance because the desired modifications would not further a purpose that is specific or unique to military operations. The described modifications would simply allow passengers the ability to perform "office work" in the vehicle. Therefore, the "Armed Forces" exception would not apply.
While our regulations generally apply to the manufacture of new motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment, 49 U.S.C. 30122(b) provides that:
A manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or motor vehicle repair business may not knowingly make inoperative any part of a device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment in compliance with an applicable motor vehicle safety standard[.]
Therefore, none of the above-listed businesses, including a conversion company, could modify the leased van if the resulting modification removed the vehicle from compliance with any applicable FMVSS. This "render inoperative" prohibition does not apply to modifications vehicle owners make to their own vehicles.
Of the FMVSSs established by NHTSA, five are directly relevant to the modification of a seat in a model year 2001 vehicle: FMVSS No. 207, Seating systems; FMVSS No. 208, Occupant crash protection; FMVSS No. 209, Seat belt assemblies; FMVSS No. 210, Seat belt assembly anchorages; and FMVSS No. 225, Child restraint anchorage systems. Each standard is discussed below.
FMVSS No. 207
FMVSS No. 207 establishes requirements for seats, seat attachment assemblies, and installation to minimize the possibility of their failure during vehicle impact. A conversion company modifying the vehicles seats would have to ensure that the new seating configuration complied with this standard.
FMVSS No. 208
Under FMVSS No. 208, if any of the above-mentioned businesses were to install captain-style swivel chairs, one of two seat belt systems would be required. The first option would require a Type 2 [2] seat belt assembly that would meet the adjustment and latch mechanism requirements while in any position in which it can be occupied while the vehicle is in motion (S126.96.36.199(i)). The second option would require that when the seat is in the forward-facing position, it would have a conforming Type 2 seat belt, in which the upper torso restraint would be detachable at the buckle. In any other seating position, the seat would be required to have a conforming Type 1 seat belt or the pelvic portion of a Type 2 seat belt assembly (S126.96.36.199(ii)). Also, any seat belt assembly anchorage installed for the modification would have to meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 210.
If any of the above-mentioned businesses were to modify the bench seat so it were rear-facing, then it would be subject to seat belt requirements of S184.108.40.206 of FMVSS No. 210. S220.127.116.11(a)(2) requires that the rear-facing bench seat be equipped with Type 1 or Type 2 seat belt assemblies at each seating position.
FMVSS No. 209
FMVSS No. 209 applies to seat belt assemblies as motor vehicle equipment. Any seat belt assembly installed as a result of the modification would have to be certified by the assemblys manufacturer as complying with FMVSS No. 209 in order for the vehicle to remain in compliance with this standard.
FMVSS No. 210
FMVSS No. 210 establishes requirements for seat belt assembly anchorages to insure their proper location for effective occupant restraint and to reduce the likelihood of their failure. If any of the above-mentioned businesses were to modify the vehicle, the business would have to ensure that the seat belt assembly anchorages would meet the location and strength requirements in the standard.
FMVSS No. 225
If a conversion company (or any of the businesses listed in 49 U.S.C. 30122(b)) were to modify the vehicle, the vehicle would have to maintain compliance with FMVSS No. 225. Under S4.2, a conforming tether anchorage would be required at no fewer than three forward-facing rear designated seating positions. Further, the modified vehicle would be required to maintain the same number of lower anchorage systems at forward-facing rear seats as are currently in the unmodified vehicle.
I hope that you find this information of use. If you have any further questions please contact Mr. Chris Calamita of my staff at (202) 366-2992.

[2] Under FMVSS No. 209 a Type 1 seat belt assembly is a lap belt for pelvic restraint and a Type 2 seat belt assembly is a combination of pelvic and upper torso restraints.

5 Reasons It's Time to Ditch Your Old Wardrobe + Where to Start
Holy crap, Y'all. How is it February? Did ya blink and miss the first month of 2018... cause I sure did! Anyways, I thought it would be fun to kick off February with a fun series all about overhauling your wardrobe! If you're anything like me then you still have a closet filled with clothes you don't wear, are falling apart, or that you've had since high school. Actually, if you're really like me then you answered yes to all of the above. Yikes.
Something I realized this past month is that I do not have a wardrobe that's ready to transition into this next phase of life with me. So on a free Saturday in January, I went through everything. And I mean EVERYTHING guys. I can't even begin to tell you how many pairs of underwear I threw out. Anyways, one of the things I learned about Y'all from that reader survey I did back in December is that you're all in a very transitional period of life too! While we might not all be transitioning into the same phase of life, a transitional period is a great time to makeover your wardrobe.
Now, aside from actually just going through my clothes, I had NO idea how to actually start with a closet overhaul. As with most of the content on this blog, I try to write stuff that I myself would search for so if you've stumbled on this page because you think you're in need of a style makeover then stay tuned because this series is about to be LIT.
So what are a few reasons why you might need to ditch your old wardrobe?
1. You're jumping into the professional world
College grads, this one is you guys. When I left college, I didn't have a clue how to dress professionally (I mean I did, but I didn't) and I sure as heck didn't have a wardrobe to accommodate a 9-5 where most people wore a 3 piece suit every day. The good news is that if you're reading this, it's not too late for you. Transitioning from college to professional life is the perfect time to really start building a wardrobe that will work for you for years to come.
2. You're getting married
Raise your hand if you're getting married in the next year or so. Now double raise your hand if that marriage requires you to pull double duty in social situations. *Raises both hands* Whether it's hosting a block party, attending office parties, or military functions, getting married is definitely a transitional time when a wardrobe overhaul might be in order. Gone are the days of the slinky LBD for clubbing.
3. You're having a baby
This is a no-brainer time for a wardrobe overhaul. Carrying around a baby or chasing kiddos requires a far more practical type of wardrobe.
4. You're ready to really define your personal style
Aside from getting married, this was the other real reason why I decided that now was the perfect time for me to overhaul my wardrobe. If you are struggling to find outfits to wear or you've noticed a real shift in the style of clothes you gravitate to, this might be you!
5. You're moving
No one wants to move a ton of clothes they don't even like/wear anymore. Whether you need money or space, a big move can be a great time to overhaul your closet. I try to pare down my clothes every time I move, even in college!
I'm in! Now what?
Now that you've decided to overhaul your wardrobe, it's time to commit. First, you're going to want to get an idea of what you want your style to actually be. Do you want to be fun, flirty, and girly? Preppy and classic? Maybe you want to be a hipster and super trendy! The possibilities are honestly endless. I talked a little bit about defining your personal style in this post but let's take more of a deep dive into it this go around (ps: you might want to block off an afternoon for this):
Analyze your current closet
Take every item of clothing you own and pile it on your bed. I mean it. If you're going to do a serious wardrobe overhaul then you need to be intimately aware of every item that's in your closet. Pick up each item and ask yourself the following questions:
"Do I love this item?"
"Does this item make me feel confident?"
"When was the last time I wore this item?"
Once you've answered these questions you should be able to easily decide whether or not that item belongs in your new wardrobe. If you don't look and feel your best in it, then you probably shouldn't keep it around! Make three piles of trash, giveaway/sell, and to keep.
Find where you're lacking
Once you've analyzed your current wardrobe situation, finding the holes in your closet should be easy. Depending on what you're transitioning to/from you might need different pieces in your wardrobe. For example, I found that I am seriously lacking in blouses. Blouses are good for me to have in my closet because we have a lot of "casual" events that may not mean t-shirt and jeans casual. Plus, blouses are a great option to have for the office! One thing I don't really need, however, are dresses (even though I love to wear them in the summer). Assess your needs based on your life and what you currently have in your closet!
Search Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration
Depending on what type of style of wardrobe you're going for, you may want to look for inspiration of pieces to buy. I am a very visual person and so looking at outfits on Pinterest or Instagram really gives me a solid idea of the looks I want to create and what I want the vibe of my wardrobe to be. You can follow my Outfit Inspiration board to get more of an idea of what I'm talking about! (PS: Little secret, I use Pinterest to plan my outfit almost every day)!

Suburbian Wedding Dinner
My cousin J got married and had her wedding dinner last night at open-air Suburbia on Sentosa. It was a lovely place to have it, particularly since it was as cool and balmy as Singapore weather is capable of being. It was also a thoroughly modern way of throwing a wedding dinner, being buffet-style at long tables. No traditional Chinese eight-course banquet at round tables, which was pretty much inevitable at mine, as there were so many elderly folk to please. It would have been nice to have had mine like this – so much more relaxed and familiar. But I cannot complain. The wedding is a small detail when compared to the married life that comes after, and I am having a good one. I hope J and her husband have a long and happy life together ahead!
Post-Photoshoot Pain… & Photographs
After the rigours of yesterday, I woke up at noon today with abominable aches in my thighs, shoulders, arms and even hands. Wedding photography can be pretty hard work.
Another painful thing about a wedding photoshoot is the editing that comes after. I actually love using Photoshop, but it easily eats up hours and days, and is not very good for my obsessive tendencies.
Here are a few samples I've done today.
Wedding Photoshoot
It has been a crazy busy day. Mr. Manx and I woke up at five this morning in preparation for our friends' wedding day – let's call them Toms and Pepper. Toms and Pepper were our classmates in university and have been together for a really long time (but not as long as Mr. Manx and me, heh).
As this was not our first time being amateur wedding photographers, Mr. Manx and I followed our usual protocol. We split up first thing in the morning – he to Toms' home and I to Pepper's, to catch the preparatory rituals on both sides.
I love taking shots of brides being made-up for their weddings. The transformation is charming to observe, and I feel privileged being the person to record the event. Some families have their own customs, in accordance to their dialect groups, that may involve certain food, prayers and adornments. Christian parents will drape the bridal veil. People tend to have rather strained, quiet, unusual expressions at this point. I think it's because they're still accepting that the time has come for these rituals to be done for their girl.
The peace is ruptured once the 'sisters' – typically bridesmaids and best girlfriends – appear, and chaos soon erupts with the noisy arrival of the groom and his 'brothers', as the girls put the guys through ridiculous torments before they are permitted admission to the bride's home. This is the point that Mr. Manx and I reunite and take more pictures than is good for our own mental health.
After that, we all went back to Toms' place for the Chinese tea ceremony. Traditionally, the couple serve tea, in dainty little cups, to the groom's parents and senior relatives, who take their turns sitting down in pairs. In return, the seniors give the couple good wishes, red packets and/or gifts. I always fantasize about witnessing the presentation of a car key or a title deed at this point, but it has never happened. Depending on the size of the family, all this can take some time, and must be properly done, in order to avoid omitting or offending anyone.
Then everybody headed back to the Pepper's home to repeat the same ceremony with her folks, then ate and chilled till it was time to head out for the wedding ceremony.
Toms and Pepper, being Christians, had their ceremony in St. Teresa's Church. By this time, I was pretty much pooped and running on autopilot. Flowers – check. Pastor – check. Rings – check. Smiling guests – check. Oh yeah… bride and groom – check.
And then they were married.
By the time the wedding dinner rolled around, I was totally pooped. The rest of the evening drifted pleasantly by my sozzled eyes and now I am finally home with Mr. Manx after a very long, but quite wonderful day.
God bless you, Toms and Pepper! May you know every happiness together.

Select different printers for different forms
There is no LotusScript method for printing (Back-End or Front-End UI Classes) that includes a parameter to specify a printer. This is because for some time now, Windows has been managing print drivers and applications send standard raw data and allow the Windows drivers to sort it out. You cannot manipulate, with automation, the default printer or session-specific printer from within LotusScript. You could call a Windows API to select a default, which of course would require exact printer drivers to exist on each workstation.

9 Fabulous London Events for February 2019
1 February—16 March
The Guinness Six Nations roars into town, with Ireland looking to keep their hands on the trophy. This year's rugby tournament, which brings together Europe's top six teams, promises one of the most open contests for many years. This month, Twickenham Stadium plays host England against France (10 Feb), and England will be looking to continue the tournament in style.
3 February
Cheer on the participants in the London Winter Run, a 10km fundraising race through the capital, which passes many landmarks. The race first took place in 2015 and is now an annual event in which more than 65,000 people have taken part. Watch the start of the race in Trafalgar Square, complete with a urry of 'snow'. The route goes past The Savoy hotel, Nelson's Column and St Paul's Cathedral. Runners and spectators are set to be entertained by winter characters at the Husky High-Five Zone and Penguin Party.
5—10 February
Watch the colorful celebrations for Chinese New Year, centering on the lively Chinatown district. Although the new year falls on the 5th, most events happen on the 10th, with parades, traditional costumes and dragon and lion dances, plus spectacular entertainment on the stage at Trafalgar Square. This is the Year of the Pig, according to the Chinese zodiac, which shows signs of good fortune.
5 February—27 April
Famous for his role as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot in the long-running TV series, David Suchet is one of Britain's best-loved actors. See him on stage at Wyndham's Theatre as he stars in Arthur Miller's The Price to mark the 50th anniversary of the play, which tells the story of two brothers, Walter and Victor Franz, meeting for the first time in 16 years. When the play premiered on Broadway in 1968, it was nominated for two Tony Awards.
13—24 February
If you're in town for half-term (the UK's first school holiday of the year), expect to come across an abundance of family-friendly events at the annual Imagine Children's Festival. Kids take part in every aspect of the Southbank Centre's events here, including assisting backstage and broadcasting announcements. With myriad theatre and comedy shows, it promises to be a lot of fun.
14 February
It's that time of the year when roses and candlelit dinners are at the forefront of everyone's mind. But, if you want to do something a little bit different this year, visit one of London's iconic sights. Hop on board the Cupid's Capsule on the Coca-Cola London Eye—you can have a capsule to yourself (plus a guide), while enjoying Champagne and truffles. If you're planning to propose, why not do so in St Paul's Cathedral's Whispering Gallery? The View from The Shard, meanwhile, offers special romantic packages to make sure everything goes to plan.
14—17 February
Did you know that it's been 60 years since the iconic Mini Cooper was first produced? This year's London Classic Car Show celebrates that landmark and also pays tribute to Jaguar designer Ian Callum. Taking place at ExCeL in the Docklands, you'll find cars aplenty and an indoor racing track, where you can watch vehicles of all shapes and sizes compete. On your marks, get set, go!
23 February
In Mayfair you will find a musical landmark: two neighbouring houses on Brook Street that were once home to baroque composer George Frideric Handel, followed by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix 200 years later. These days, the homes are combined as Handel and Hendrix in London, and you can traverse the centuries to witness the home lives of both men. Handel's birthday (23 Feb) makes it a great time to visit. Enjoy live baroque music played throughout the day in the music room, as well as baroque dances.
28 February – 3 March
Taking over Chelsea's Saatchi Gallery, Collect is a must for fans of arts and crafts. The festival, run by the Crafts Council, showcases work from around the world that has been produced in the past ve years only. Visitors are treated to an overview of the modern international craft scene, from Chinese ceramics and lacquerware, to gold and silver pieces made in the UK. Look out, too, for a collaborative project between Filipino designers and Czech glassblowers.
