Merci Beaucoup!
Earlier this week, we caught up with Mael and Sandrine, two French students who have been volunteering at our retail shops in West Norwood. With Emmaus having been founded in France in the late 1940s, and having 117 Emmaus communities located there, we regularly have French students looking to come to London to improve their English and business knowledge at our social enterprises located here.
Both study at La Rochelle Business School, with Mael coming from a small village near Paris, and Sandrine from Ile de Re, a small island close to La Rochelle. Sandrine and Mael have been supporting all aspects of the business here in Lambeth, and they took some time out of their day to tell us more about themselves and their experiences while in London.
Firstly, Mael a confident, humorous international business student tells me about what he likes and dislikes about London:-
''What I miss the most about home is seeing family and friends regularly, and I like the feeling of being in a big city where everyone is friendly even though you are not from there. I find car owners here quite arrogant on the roads, but I very much enjoy the good transport links around London. My favourite food over here has been the fish & chips on a Friday evening. I have also enjoyed the London social scene at the weekends. This placement has definitely helped me to improve my English, and has enabled me to become more mature and independent. I have also learnt a lot about how an Emmaus social enterprise works overall in the UK.
The well-presented and very polite Sandrine sets out her impression of English life to date:-
'' I love the London city life and how busy it can be at times, although a downside is you have to go to Brighton to see a beach! I like that there are so many different activities, and so you never get bored. With everyone driving on the other side of the road compared with France, I have had to be very attentive when crossing the road! I also enjoy having fish & chips, since I have come to England. The most memorable place I have been to is Tower Bridge, and the area around it, full of interesting history. In my spare time I read many books and watch different programmes on Netflix. My customer service skills have definitely improved since volunteering here, and I like the fact that most of the products are environmentally friendly. "
We would like to thank Mael and Sandrine for all their efforts whilst at Emmaus Lambeth. It has been much appreciated, and we hope that is simply au revoir and not just goodbye!

Tribute to the late Solicitor to the Scottish Government
12 November 18
by Sam Moore, Callum Sinclair
2017 was an exciting year for legal technology, with a genuine sense of momentum for the first time. Arguably, 2018 has been more of a grounded experience. There is still no shortage of hype, but it's generally been tempered with a greater degree of experience and pragmatism than was commonplace last year. Now that some of the initial excitement around (and inflated expectations of) concepts like AI, automation and augmented workflows has died down, the real work has begun in earnest to translate potential into actionable, visible progress. There have been a number of notable trends apparent in the delivery of legal services, a few of which can be summarised as follows.
Last year (Journal, November 2017, 18) we wrote about how the profession was starting to look like a far more welcoming place for data scientists, programmers, technologists and project managers. We are pleased to see this trend continuing, and indeed ramping up, during 2018.
Among the headline-grabbing developments, Allen & Overy launched a two-year graduate scheme, which is effectively a traineeship for legal tech, while Addleshaw Goddard announced a new career path available for their trainees to qualify into legal tech rather than fee-earning roles. CMS announced a dedicated in-house legal design team, while Ashurst opened a second legal tech hub in Australia to complement their Glasgow location. At Burness Paull we introduced the role of innovation manager, following on from our first legal technologist role. These are but a few highlights in a year of announcements.
This trend towards upskilling (or as the case may be, reskilling) legal minds towards technology is also influencing the academic world. Many UK universities now have some offering in legal technology, such as Edinburgh University's LLM in Innovation, Technology and the Law, Ulster University's LLM in Legal Technology, or the LLM in Legal Tech offered by Swansea University. Next year Manchester University will team up with Freshfields to offer a module for final year undergrads in legal tech and access to justice. At Glasgow University, the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice will next year feature for the first time an elective module on practical uses of legal technology and innovation.
There is undoubtedly a rush among places of higher learning to capitalise on the recent (and growing) need in the profession for creative, open-minded and flexible law graduates. The real practical drivers of innovation in legal services often don't come from the top, but rather from the bottom. Trainees entering the profession with the right mindset and a solid grasp of the basics of legal technology are in high demand, and we don't see this abating any time soon.
Over the course of 2018 we have seen several promising-looking legal research businesses either starting up or making significant headway. Examples like CaseMine, ROSS Intelligence and Gavelytics have been very prominent in the legal technology media with major client wins, funding announcements and promising collaboration projects.
Part of this sudden boom in legal research is down to changing client demands, and the increasing reliance on fixed-fee or capped-fee billing arrangements. Many legal teams now simply can't carry out research the same way they have done for the last decade; instead they need to use some augmented or enhanced approach to get to the information they need faster. Enter artificial intelligence and natural language processing. Many of the new challengers use these technologies to take the user from initial query to relevant case law and legislation in far fewer clicks than conventional key word or phrase searches. Along the way, some of these tools will also build "smart" audit trails for billing purposes, or make intelligent suggestions of relevant additional information. Imagine, for example, a system which knows who your client is while you are conducting legal research, and can make specific suggestions based on previous work done with that client, which sector that client works in, or which global jurisdictions the client is known to operate in.
Of course the "big two" of legal research, Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis, aren't taking this challenge lying down. Both have this year unveiled their own AI-driven research tools, aimed at enhancing their own products and keeping the majority of the profession bought in to their proprietary research environments. For example, Westlaw EDGE was launched this summer, giving the biggest revamp to the venerable Westlaw product for a generation. In short,
EDGE represents a total rebuild of Westlaw with natural language processing and machine learning tools applied in multiple ways.
If 2017 was a year of early adoption for AI-powered document review, 2018 was arguably a year of consolidation and reflection. Certainly there have still been plenty of media releases along the lines of "firm X adopts tool Y"; however the more interesting stories have been about how firms are actually using their new AI capabilities. Large UK or international firms who purchased a product like Kira, Luminance or iManage Ravn in 2016-17 have sometimes struggled to realise the user adoption rates they had in mind, and the reasons for this can be many and varied.
If we were to visualise the famous Gartner Hype Cycle, then we would plot legal AI somewhere along the back end of the Peak of Inflated Expectations, heading into the Trough of Disillusionment. This is not to say that the technology is underperforming – far from it, we believe the technology is sound, and in the right use case it can be a genuine game changer. At Burness Paull, for example, we've used AI to carry out document review tasks which wouldn't merely be inefficient to do manually, but might have been impossible given the volume of documents and the timeframes required.
The challenge is perhaps one of the market's own making – user expectations of what this first generation of AI products can do are still wildly out of kilter with reality. What we've seen in 2018 in particular is a reluctance among small and medium-sized firms and in-house teams to invest in these tools, when they see far larger competitors having a somewhat lukewarm experience. There is however a silver lining to this – smaller, more agile (and usually more affordable) challengers are starting to "disrupt the disrupters". Businesses such as Diligen, Legal Sifter and Ayfie are starting to find traction with smaller firms and in-house teams, who may not be ready or willing to take the plunge with one of the larger providers. This competition can only be a good thing for the end users, as we wait to see how the bigger players in legal AI will defend their hard-won territory.
Technology remains massively important to how we as a profession deliver a high-quality service to our clients. If we engage positively with legal tech innovators, take care to separate the hype from the reality, and take measured risks on new ideas, then we can do so much more for our clients than produce the same work in a different format. The enthusiasm is certainly not lacking – just recently, London hosted the third annual Legal Geek event, which this year attracted over 2,000 attendees, more than double the audience from 2017.
This year has been a great test bed for all manner of concepts, tools and technologies, some of which are truly innovative. We're moving beyond a phase where legal technology is seen as a "nice to have" and into an era where it will become necessary, perhaps even business-critical. We're also seeing a welcome theme emerging wherein legal technology's sizeable contribution towards boosting employee engagement and morale is increasingly being recognised and highlighted. We predict that during 2019 a lot more work will be done to identify the biggest areas of stress and pressure in our day-to-day working lives, and new products and services will emerge aimed at taking some of that weight off our collective human shoulders.
The Journal asked IT service providers to the profession to highlight one development over the next 12 months that will increase efficiency.
Warren Wander, managing director, LawWare: In the next 12 months, HMRC's Making Tax Digital plans will come to fruition. Integrating MTD into our legal practice management and accounts software is one of our highest priorities. It will make it possible for legal practices to complete VAT returns more efficiently whilst complying with strict HMRC demands.
Brian Welsh, managing director, Insight Legal: "The legal sector is undergoing a digital transformation in which even smaller, growing firms are embracing change to drive operational efficiency. As we look ahead to next year, sophisticated AI and machine learning technologies are now poised to advance the industry's digital capabilities, helping firms to reduce the margin for human error and make more intelligent decisions at every stage of a case."
John Flanagan, head of product, LEAP: "Automating even simple tasks, like receiving funds into your client account, can save valuable time and improve accuracy for your cashroom – your client could simply click on a hyperlink in their client care letter, enter their credit card details and automate the transfer with no need to re-key any data."

This warrior is EXCITED that this letter came in the mail on Friday! Shephard's Flock is now officially an official 501(c)(3) non-profit! Cannot wait to see where the Lord takes this!
This is the face of cancer. Tuesday morning Shep woke up very nauseous from all of the chemo/anesthesia he had on Monday. I lost count the amount of times that he threw up. He couldn't even keep a spoonful of water down. He also had diarrhea. At one time, he couldn't hold it and it got all over my arm. A couple of seconds later I noticed my arm felt like it was burning. It felt like that because of all the chemicals he had in his body. It broke my heart! Shep has only thrown up once, after Doxirubicin (aka the "red devil" or the "red koolaid.") When he was diagnosed, I envisioned he would consistently be like he is in this picture. I thanked God that I've never had to face the "chemo induced sickness" I saw on Tuesday. Thankfully, Shep bounced back quickly and was mostly smiles the next day. (I say mostly because it's steroid week �)
I am sure that many of you have seen that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Before Shep's diagnosis, I remember being aware of kids with cancer, but my awareness never led to action. For the past 1105 days, childhood cancer has been a reality for our family. A reality that has led to action. Our family started Shephard's Flock. Shephard's Flock benefits local families who have children in treatment for cancer at USA Children's and Women's. We help with mostly anything non-medical (no prescriptions or medical bills) related to treatment. The Run for Shep is our big fundraiser. This year, the 4th annual run is scheduled for Saturday, January 21, 2017 (waiting for final approval from Daphne City Council...we are confident this will be a go!) We have two new things for this year:
1. The Bounds Family YMCA has always been an amazing support for our race. Every year countleas volunteers give their time to help us out. The Y has also given us access to the facilities, including taking up had of the parking lot. We are very grateful! However, for us to grow, we prayed and decided to move the 4th annual Run for Shep to start at Daphne City Hall (a certified route.)
2. This year we will CELEBRATE every local warrior who has completed their chemo treatment with a "No Mo Chemo Party." The games/jumpies/activities that we always have had will still be there...we will just add more!
So, how can you help? If you want to volunteer or you know of a person or business that would want to sponsor, email us at email@example.com Don't just be aware of childhood cancer. If you've followed our families journey, you are already aware. I'd challenge y'all to turn your awareness into action! Thanks for the outpouring support y'all have always shown us! Be praying for an amazing event!!
Thank you Lord another treatment is DONE! Matt took Shep in and said the access was pretty rough. Other than that, everything went smooth! At 9:40, I texted Matt to ask how things were and he said they were about to take him back. NEVER in the three years of treatment has he had his spinal chemo that early in the morning! It was such a blessing and answered prayer...Shep was beyond angry and almost inconsolable that he couldn't have breakfast this AM. When I got to the hospital, he was already awake and smiling in recovery! So so thankful! Prayers for our week:
1. Shep is on steroids. High dose. 😳 Prayers for peace and rest in our house.2. Health. Shep will stay out of school until Thursday. Pray for us to be germ free daily! 3. Pray for Shep's tummy. The triple intrathecal chemo can cause him pain.4. His liver enzymes were a little high. Pray for them to get back into the normal range.
Thank y'all!! Exciting news about this years Run for Shep coming on Thursday, September 1!!
Three years ago today..."your child has cancer" were words that forever changed our lives. I know I was in shock standing there. BUT, I'll NEVER forget how The Lord IMMEDIATELY brought Jeremiah 29:11 to mind. He has plans for us...and they are to prosper us, not harm. Wow. I've clung to that verse and so many more during this journey. It's.been.such.a.long.journey. How far The Lord has carried us! Without Him as our foundation, I honestly don't know how we would make it. We are definitely tired! The past couple of treatments have been a little harder, just because the chemo is building up in Shep's system...but he continues to rock it! I want to thank each of you who have faithfully provided for and prayed for us during the past three years...that's a long time! We've seen so many miracles happen during our days. So many things we've learned. Since we are almost finished (with hospital treatments and Shep taking chemo...many check ups after we are done with that) my prayer is for me/us not to forget all I/we have learned. The pictures below are of us praying for Shep, during the first week of diagnosis. The second is of him looking his worst (about nine months into treatment.) And finally we have Shep with his kindgarten teacher! How faithful is our Heavenly Father who always brings us through every valley!
As I was driving in Colorado 2 weeks ago, I was praying for the boys. The Lord brought to mind that August 22 is not only the start of school, but a date He was going to redeem. Tomorrow is Shep's 3 year "cancerversary" (is that a word?!?) but August 22, 2013, is when we went into the hospital. I can remember it so clearly. Our friend, Jay Savage, had just moved back to the area to practice Orthopedics. He had come by the night before to check out Shep's swollen knee. He didn't think much of it, but that night he didn't sleep well. Matt and I woke up to a text saying he wanted Shep to get some blood work done. Blood work was done and we waited. Shep still had a persistent fever that wouldn't go away with Motrin or Tylenol. That afternoon we got a phone call from my pediatrician saying we needed to get Shep to USA Children's and Women's ASAP. The Blood work looked a little off, but nothing crazy. I remember Robbie Rux telling me it could be leukemia...but it may not be. It was STORMING outside. I had to call Matt at work and tell him. I remember standing on our carport in the storm, telling a friend that Shep ultimately was God's child, and if we were to lose him that it would be ok. Sitting here typing that, I can't believe those words left my lips. As soon as Matt got home we rushed over to the hospital in Mobile. Blood work was done and we waited, waited, waited...until getting the news the next morning. I remember lying in the hospital that night, hoping, praying and pleading with God for it not to be cancer.
So many things happened August 22, 3 years ago. All of which I would not want to relive again, but at the same time I'm thankful for. I absolutely love how God chose to redeem this date for us!! There was a time when thoughts crossed our minds of Shep dying. So many days spent in the hospital. Too many doses of dreaded chemo. A time when we thought he would be too sick to start school. So many in treatment can't be around other kiddos until they are well done with chemo. I'm amazed he's here and starting Kindergarten today! So am I a sad mama on the first day of K? Sure! However, it's a celebration for us! He's HERE and he's healthy! Be praying for us as we start this new school year. Pray for sickness to stay away from us all. Shep has only 4 more treatments (wahoo!) to get through 😊 Thank y'all!
September Bell Ringing
In September, USA Children's and Women's had a bell ringing ceremony, to celebrate all of the children who finished cancer treatment within the last year. It was such a FUN event! We are so thankful to have such a great hospital so close to home.
September Bell Ringing- We love Dr. Imran

Video: Blackout in Tollywood for 15 Minutes to Support Padmavati
A press conference was organized to extend support to the Bollywood film Padmavati. Present at the conference was Prosenjit Chatterjee, Srikant Mohta, Gautam Ghosh and others.
Speaking at the event, Prosenjit Chatterjee said "We are actors whose profession is to act. We follow the orders of the director and deliver on the sets. But in recent times, the words used to describe the actors is so demeaning that I am at a loss of words. Even before the film is released, everyone is giving their opinion. If this trend continues, one will not be able to make films in the near future".
Director Gautam Ghosh added that in the future one might have to Whatsapp the scripts to the concerned individuals before atcually beginning the shoot of the film.
To extend support to the Bollywood film, black out will be observed today from 12 to 12.15 in Tollywood.

Abaddon's Release Coming After Orks.
Please remember that this is a rumor and to add in the appropriate salt.
According to other rumors, we are looking at Orks sometime this summer around or after June.
via Adeptus Astartes Facebook
Potential salt
Via industry insider
"Look for the return of Abaddon and his entourage this year on the heels of the Orks."
A little follow up from another source from Bolter and Chainsword who has had rumored releases before.
via Ishagu
I think the Abaddon model was in the works over a year ago, so it's just a case of ideal release date.

The short answer to the question of whether the size of the sensor in a digital camera makes a difference is, "Yes, but not in the way most people think".
Most people who are aware that there are different sized sensors in different cameras think that the bigger the sensor is the better the pictures will be. This is simply not true. First of all, so much depends on how we define better. If "better" means "giving us the desired results", then we must first define the results we want. Each application for which we may want photos may require a different answer. For instance, if a model railroader wanting realistic looking photos of his setup from what should be the point of view of a human on the same scale as the layout, he should use his phone's camera, which has one of the smallest sensors available. Why? Several reasons:
1– The thickness of a large camera from its bottom to the center of the lens is too great to approximate eye-level to scale. In other words, you can't get low enough.
2– The depth of field of a larger camera is much too shallow to allow for a natural looking scene where everything is in focus.
3– The bulk of the camera is too great for the space available (imagine fitting the Queen Mary in your front yard).
4– Most cameras cannot focus close enough.
Some time ago I spent a great deal of time working with a blogger who was convinced he needed to buy a full frame camera in order to have quality good enough to go to print. I made the following set of images to show him otherwise.
Using the exact same setup for each photograph, I shot this scene with cameras having a 24x36mm sensor (Canon 5D Mk III), a 16x24mm sensor (Canon T5i), a 9x13mm sensor (Sony RX10 II), and a 4.5x6mm sensor (Canon SX60). All were set to ISO 200, photographed on manual, at f8 and 1/60 sec. There is astoundingly little difference between them in terms of image quality, but there is one quite noticeable effect directly related to sensor size that reveals which is which; depth of field.
Depth of field is controlled by two factors; magnification and aperture. When an image is framed the same way in camera, the camera with the largest sensor magnifies it the most and will therefore have the shallowest depth of field. This can be clearly seen in the sample images above as you go from the largest sensor (left) to the smallest (right). Look at the plunger-type shutter release on the camera body as you change from image to image. Other than this difference, the pictures are hard to tell apart. Which one is best? That depends on which image best suits our needs. How much depth of field do we want?
A close examination , equivalent to making 20x30 prints, again reveals all the contenders do a great job, with only the last image, from the tiny sensor of the Canon SX60, showing any artifacts or loss of image quality.
Of course, image quality is not our only criteria for choosing a camera. Ease of use, responsiveness, size, weight, cost, and flexibility (interchangeable lenses, number of lenses available, ac adapters, battery packs and other accessories) all play a roll (or should) in our selection of a camera to use. But the truth of the matter about sensor size is, it has almost no effect on the quality of the image. All four of the images shown would make great 20x30 prints and are more than good enough to go to press. Take a look at the samples I've provided and see if you don't agree.

Like Viennese whirls? Try Stephen Harris's crumbly biscuit dessert
It's not an original idea to turn a popular biscuit into a restaurant dessert. I think the first – although I am happy to be corrected – was Gary Rhodes and the Jaffa Cake. In fact, on reflection, Gary Rhodes must spend a lot of his days watching while ideas he had 25 years ago are passed off as someone's own.
In Kent we have a dish called gipsy tart, which is about our only famous pudding, and one that we all had as part of our school dinners. Gary nailed the recipe in a book about 25 years ago and all of us Kentish chefs have been claiming it ever since. Sorry, Gary.
I had the idea of turning the Viennese whirl into a restaurant dessert when two things happened, which I just joined up. First,...

Toones Music Player for iPhone
Editors' Review
Toones Music Player is an audio player that makes it easy to control your music using gestures. If you find the native iOS music app to be kind of clumsy to use, Toones Music Player is a nice alternative.
Toones has an attractive interface, though we weren't a fan of the black text against the dark gray background that's used to display the artists' names. That was our only real complaint, though. Buttons across the top let users view their music sorted by track name, album, artist, or playlist. What really sets Toones apart is its controls: tap the center of the screen to play or pause music, tap the top of the screen to increase the volume or the bottom to decrease it, tap the left or right side of the screen to skip between tracks, and toggle shuffle off and on by touching anywhere with two fingers. A helpful tutorial walks new users through each of these functions, and it took us no time at all to get accustomed to them. We found this to be a much easier way to control our music than the native music app, and it's especially nice if you're busy doing something else, such as driving or exercising. We're actually surprised that Apple hasn't integrated these controls into its own app; but until it does, Toones Music Player is a great alternative.
Toones Music Player installs and uninstalls without issues.

Alaska switches prison contract; inmates to move to Colorado
Alaska's 800 inmates doing time in a private prison in Arizona will be moving to another private prison in Colorado by the end of the year.
There they will stay for three years until Alaska finishes building its own lockup in Mat-Su to finally accommodate the state's long-standing overflow.
The Alaska Department of Corrections is switching its $20 million-a-year private prison contract from the company that has held it for 15 years, the Corrections Corp. of America, to Cornell Companies, a Texas-based company the department already uses to run halfway houses in Alaska.
The prisoners will leave the Red Rock Correctional Center in Eloy, Ariz., for the Hudson Correctional Facility in Hudson, Colo., about 30 miles northeast of Denver, sometime before Christmas, said Alaska Corrections Commissioner Joe Schmidt.
The state will save about $6 a day per prisoner from the switch, the commissioner said, for a total of approximately $1.75 million a year. The state now pays $65 per day per prisoner at Red Rock; it will be paying $59 per day per prisoner at Hudson.

A well-lit home is a cheerful one. Many homes do not get enough natural light during the day due to which even the most well-furnished and decorated homes look less attractive than they really are. Using electric lights during the day will never give the same feel and of course, your electricity bills will go up. If this is a problem you face, here are some things you can do to increase the natural daylight in a room and change its whole look and aura.
Use mirrors: Mirrors are a great way to multiply light. Place one on the wall opposite the window and the light will reflect through the room. The reflection of the view from the window will also make the room look larger than it is. A mirror placed adjacent to the window will mimic the window and make it seem like the wall has another one.
Avoid heavy window treatments: Heavy window treatments, curtains blinds and shades will block most of the light out of a room. While these are necessary for privacy, the same result can be achieved by using light translucent curtains and shades. These will allow much more light to enter while still providing the required privacy. Depending on the colors and tints chosen, this option can even give a glow to the curtains and shades and also diffuse the light more evenly across the room.
Use light colors for ceilings: A dark ceiling will absorb light and make a room look dark. If the walls are white, a white ceiling is the best. If the walls are dark, a white ceiling may make the room feel cramped and oppressive. In such cases, a colored ceiling that is lighter than the walls is a good option. Do not use glossy or semi-gloss paint on the ceiling. This will make the room look like an office or a doctor's clinic. A white or light colored matte finish is the best option.
Install reflective surfaces: Reflective surfaces like a black painted backsplash in the kitchen will bounce light around the room and make it significantly brighter.
Keep it clean: You will be surprised at the amount of light that is lost with even a thin film of dust on window glass. Additionally, in a world that is becoming increasingly more polluted, thin layers of almost invisible oily deposits appear on the glass. These can diffuse the light and cause less light to enter a room. Regular cleaning of both the inner and outer surfaces will maximize the amount of light that is able to get in.
These are just a few ways in which you can brighten up your home using natural light. Daylight will always give your home a more cheerful and natural look than artificial lighting. It will also save on utility bills. If your home has areas that cannot be lit with windows and skylights, consider using a daylighting system to channel natural daylight to those parts of the home that remain dark and gloomy. You will be surprised at the difference it makes. These systems are not as expensive as you may think and are easy to install.

So why did I keep watching, having gone into the experience with such low expectations? I hoped to see a beautiful world, and similarly high-quality world-building, thus creating Avatar as a gorgeous film. Unfortunately, again, everything about it had, as I said above, been done before, and done better. Pandora's bioluminescence was undeniably gorgeous, and created some beautiful effects, and some of the creatures were impressive, especially the dragons/dinosaurs used by the People for flying. The rendering of the horse-type creatures galloping, as they went to war, was incredibly well-done, but the creatures themselves looked to be based on the thestrals in the Harry Potter films. In my first view of Pandora from the ground, the flowers which spiralled closed were a small delight, but otherwise there was nothing in that world (I'm not including the creatures here) which could not be seen on Earth, here and now. The forests at night, and the small jellyfish-like spirits, were lovely, moments of beauty in an otherwise mundane world. Compare Pandora to Peter Jackson's Middle Earth, and it is definitely lacking something.
I mentioned the world-building above. I hoped that we would be given a good understanding of the world and cultures of Pandora that drew Sully in, but again it was not to be, and I had too many questions. Sully's being made one of the People highlighted the problems; he had not been prepared for his tasks, despite Neytiri's assertion that he is ready to ride the banshee (in itself a strange choice of name, given its history). Presumably Cameron wanted viewers to experience the world through Sully's eyes, and to learn alongside him, but this was clumsy storytelling and a missed opportunity to explain how the culture of the People works. There were too many good ideas that were not given a chance, clumsily explained then pushed aside, or dropped in favour of more cliches and action scenes – the science and the workings of the avatars were similarly vague. The use of various languages was inconsistent, which particularly annoyed me from my linguist's point of view. I could list all my questions here, but it would achieve nothing, really. My notes show my frustration and occasional amusement, primarily at the expense of Colonel Quaritch and, to a lesser extent, Sully. For example:
I was most intrigued by the holy trees in the People's culture, in particular the Hometree, but again their links to the people was not explained well. But I wonder how much my focus on their presence and purpose may have been influenced by trees such as Yggdrasil, the World Tree, of Norse mythology – I've been reading Joanne Harris's and A. S. Byatt's reworkings of these myths, recently, and Yggdrasil, the Norse version of the Tree of Life, has particularly captured my imagination. It's a shame about Avatar, in the end. I don't expect much from Cameron in terms of good story-writing, based primarily on Titanic. But the beauty of Titanic was the building of the world on board the ship, in the details and trappings of the environment, and even in these respects Avatar failed.
"Nothing's over while I'm breathing" SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP! Offering self in his place if it will stop the pain. Cat hiss response is a bit annoying. Love the burglar alarm sound when Robot Soldier breaks through the window of the pods building, hee hee. Sully bit unfortunately Braveheart in his face paint – also long hair not good in a fight.

Grothman Questions Secretary Azar on Opioid Abuse
Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-Glenbeulah) today questioned U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar about the opioid abuse epidemic in America and the best ways to combat it. In his answers, Secretary Azar proposed several solutions found in Congressman Grothman's bills aimed at fighting the opioid abuse epidemic; The Responsible Opioid Prescription Act and The Improving the Federal Response to Families Impacted by Substance Use Disorder Act.
Excerpts of Grothman's questioning
Congressman Grothman: "I wanted to comment a little bit on the Medicaid program. The seven states in 2015 with the highest rates of opioid related overdoses: West Virginia, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Ohio, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, all expanded Medicaid programs under Obamacare. Obviously you get cause and effect all mixed up here as to what's coming first, but way disproportionately people on Medicaid are far more likely to die of opioid overdose than people who are not on the program. Could you comment on that and is there anything we can do? Do you feel that Medicaid expansion made the opioid situation worse, and is there anything we can do, again remembering that it's hard to tell in these things what's the cause and what's the effect, but can we do anything on the Medicaid program to cut off the supply here?"
Secretary Azar: "So, the ready availability of cheap, accessible, legal opioids, especially generic ones, was fundamental to this problem. The majority of people who get addicted on opioids start from a legal prescription for opioids. Making the financing and accessibility of those readier obviously contributes to it. How much, I can't say, but it's quite clear that would be connected. What we've got to do is get at the issues at the state and federal level of how often people are prescribed, why they are prescribed, and how many they are prescribed with Medicaid. That's why we're asking for prescription drug monitoring programs as well as interoperable across state lines so you can't shop from West Virginia into Ohio for instance and go 'doc. shopping'. We're enforcing against pill mills from our Inspector General's office and the Department of Justice so it's a very serious issue, you raise the right questions."
Grothman: "One final question, overall, prescription drug use in this country is way higher than any other industrialized nation and obviously very expensive. I wonder if you would comment on that in general, your opinion on the amount of prescription drugs prescribed in this country."
Azar: "Too expensive. But I would say a lot of the major innovation we've had in health care delivery, if you ask doctors, is from the availability to new therapies, not necessarily new procedures, and so we actually need more reform on that other side but we're paying too much absolutely for our drugs."
Opioid-related deaths have more than quadrupled over the past 20 years as the number of opioids prescribed has increased.
In 2015 alone, more than 50,000 Americans died as a result of heroin and prescription drug overdose.
In October 2017, the Trump administration declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency.

The Hunting Dogs
Jorn Lier Horst
Winner of The Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel in 2013
Seventeen years ago William Wisting led the investigation into one of Norway's most widely publicised criminal cases, when the young Cecilia Linde was killed. Now it is discovered that evidence was planted and the wrong man convicted. Wisting is suspended and the media smell blood. William Wisting has spent his life hunting criminals, but now it is he who is hunted. To discover what really happened he must work alone and undercover, assisted only by his journalist daughter Line. Then another young woman disappears.
'One of the best Scandinavian crime novels I've read.'
-Mrs Peabody Investigates
'Gripping and well executed.'
-The Herald
'An immaculately plotted, beautifully structured novel, complex and full of tension.'
-Crime Time
'Written from the viewpoint of a recently serving police officer, this book's authenticity gives a true flavour of the search for a dangerous criminal.'
-Crime Squad
'Jorn Lier Horst is a phenomenal new voice in Nordic Noir. His handling of landscape and location matches that of Henning Mankell. The narrative concern with digital technology is on a par with Stieg Larsson. What makes Lier Horst distinctive is his haunting ability to find the feasible in the psychopathic.'
-Steve Peacock
'Urban rather than natural settings are the stamping grounds of Jorn Lier Horst, whose Drges (his first novel to be published in English) is immensely impressive. The writer's career as a police chief has supplied a key ingredient for the crime fiction form: credibility.'
-Barry Forshaw, Nordic Noir and Euro Noir
'An original, thrilling novel about a policeman's struggle on the edge between disaster and restoration of justice.'
-The Martin Beck Award, 2014 given by the Swedish Crime Writers' Academy for the best crime novel in translation.

Experian also reports health care organizations will be the most targeted industry this year as new and sophisticated attacks are on the horizon. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), media or state attorneys general received 233 breach industry reports from January to June 2017. "For the 193 attacks for which there are numbers, 3,159,236 patient records were affected," according to Experian. Providers are increasingly purchasing cyber liability insurance policies to ensure financial protections and resources to work through data breaches and maintain their reputation are in place, Becker's Hospital Review Content/Strategist Editor Brooke Murphy reports in the white paper "Can Health Care Providers Afford Not to Have Cyber Insurance in 2018?" "As cyber threats become the reality, and as [insurance] carriers have identified how significant and complex online exposure is, cyber liability policies have become more refined and more necessary," James Fasone, senior vice president and national health care practice leader for Key Insurance & Benefits Services said in the white paper. Purchasing cyber liability insurance may ultimately be more affordable than the costs to providers after a data breach occurs, from attorney's fees to purchasing credit monitoring systems for affected consumers, according to the white paper. That's not to mention the costs from any disruptions to providers' business and as a result of time spent notifying patients. And, even if providers spend money on the front end to protect their company and data from a cyber-attack, cyber criminals continue to find their way around firewalls and security systems. And, remember, the strongest security protections can still be put at risk by human error if not used properly. Employees continue to present a big risk to companies, according to Experian. Regular training and a refresh of your data security policies are critical to staying ahead of threats and risks to sensitive information and data. It's also helpful to limit the number of employees who have access to sensitive data, especially on mobile and portable devices. Make sure you have a strict policy for access and transport of mobile and portable devices containing sensitive information. "Cyber liability insurance helps hospitals cover the costs of a data security breach for things like identity protection solutions, public relations, legal fees, liability and more due to loss, theft and unauthorized disclosure of data," according to Becker's Hospital Review. When considering if cyber liability insurance is right for your business, and the level of insurance that is the best fit, it comes down to matching coverage with your "business objectives, asset vulnerability, third-party risk exposure and other external factors," Murphy reports. "The cyber insurance industry in the last three to five years has rapidly evolved to meet the needs of health care businesses in a digital world," Fasone said in the white paper. "That means there are many more companies in the market offering a greater variety of coverage."

AWTL London City Guide/
London is calling. And when it does, I listen! Dubbed the "cultural capital of the world," this multifaceted, vibrant and historical city - that is changing at a remarkable pace with new buildings and refurbs - is a year-round destination. In spring the weather is mild and parks are bursting with blooms. During the balmy summer months visitors play outdoors all day - enjoying festivals, events, or rooftop bars. In autumn, buildings are adorned with yellow and orange leaves and museums debut exciting new exhibits. And in winter, the city is transformed into a magical Winter Wonderland, with twinkling lights everywhere - decorating streets, hotels, markets - all dressed up in holiday finery.
London is a city that takes my breath away and that I enjoy again and again. London is a wonderfully walkable city of "villages" and its public transportation, the Tube, is excellent and used by most residents. I'm also a fan of the famous London black cabs driven by skilled, knowledgeable and chatty drivers.
By popular demand, London is a city that you voted as A Well Traveled Life's next City Guide. And, with several British milestones in 2018 (a baby prince, a royal wedding, and oh yes, a new season of Netflix's The Crown) London is now, more than ever, a top destination.
So mates, I welcome your feedback and updates, and hope you have a brilliant go at exploring this fantastic city. Cheers!
London is one of the world's most visited cities and offers a variety of accommodations for every budget. From historic grand dame hotels, to intimate boutique townhomes, to hipster new hotspots, this U.K. capital has a variety of hotels perfect for your stay.
The Corinthia, Whitehall Pl., Westminster. This psoh, lovely hotel with spacious rooms is an indulgence for sure. But I love it's location in the heart of London and convenience to Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden, I enjoy sipping cocktails laced with violet liqueur in its swank bar late night with my hubby, and pretending that I live a glamourous life that doesn't include folding laundry and trips to Target:) (I mean, I am on vacation after all!)
Grosvenor House Park Lane, corner of Mount Street. Reportedly a favorite of soon to be Princess Meghan Markle, this Mayfair hotel on lovely Park Lane offers luxury suites that overlook Hyde Park. (PS: Attention shoppers, Selfridges and Harrods are within walking distance.)
The Milestone Hotel, 68 Regent St. It's rumored that royal wedding guests are staying at this lux hotel, formed of three Victorian townhouses, ideally located opposite Kensington Palace & Gardens. If you aren't on the royal guest list, no worries! The hotel offers "royal wedding" inspired packages for you to experience your own special event.
The Ned, 27 Poultry. With a hot social scene, eight buzzing restaurants, and stunning 1920s architecture, this Soho House group property recently celebrated its first year and is credited with the rebirth of this area. When I stayed at this high energy "IT hotel" during the popular holiday season, there were queues of well-heeled people out the door, eager to enjoy the live entertainment in the hotel's spectacular lobby bar. (PS: my room's Cowshed toiletries selection was AMAZING!)
The Rosewood Hotel 252 High Holborn. Located on one of the city's busiest thoroughfares, the hotel's grand Edwardian courtyard is a pleasant surprise. Note to all foodies - on Sunday, rain or shine, there is an outdoor market in the courtyard. Spacious rooms, sumptuous Italian bed linens, and a delicious British pie make the hefty price tag bearable.
The SoHo Hotel 4 Richmond Mews, Soho. The English aesthetic interiors designed by the acclaimed Kit Kemp, it's eclectic and cool vibe (gin trolley in the bar), and the excellent service make this quiet hotel a standout.
The Zetter Townhouse 28-38 Seymour Street. Located in London's fashionable Marylebone, staying at this 24-bedroom Georgian townhouse is like being a guest at a worldly English gent's home. Sumptuous cocktail lounge Seymour's Parlour, great service, and hipster vibe make this well-priced boutique hotel noteworthy.
Eat & Drink:
With a smorgasbord of delectable and diverse cuisine, London is a fun place to dine. Dinner reservations are highly recommended especially in the high season. Also note, and pack accordingly, London is a stylish place and people tend to "dress smart" for dinner, (Gents, bring a jacket).
45 Jermyn St. Enjoy an innovative seasonal menu at this glamorous bistro where you can relax in the lush orange booths and dine on British classics, or treat yourself to a spiked ice-cream sundae. A theatre set menu is also offered. We enjoyed a gorgeous summer dinner menu!
Aqua Shard The Shard, 31 St. Thomas St. The panoramic views of the city from the 31st floor of this contemporary British restaurant make for an amazing dining experience!
Bluebird 350 King's Rd, Chelsea. Calling all Royalists! This neighborhood restaurant is ready to celebrate the nupitals of the royal couple on May 19th. But if you miss it, no worries! This popular eatery is celebrating all things floral and romantic until June 17th with their fresh seasonal menu, signature cocktails and decor.
Chiltern Firehouse 1 Chiltern St, Marylebone. Whether it's restaurants or hotels, Andre Balasz (his is the iconic Chateau Marmont in LA) has a magic touch. His London debut woke up this once quiet neighborhood. Enjoy the brasserie-style menu featuring classics like roast chicken and caesar salad, or seasonal seafood. In summer, enjoy dining outside in the garden.
Clos Maggoire 33 King St. Covent Garden. Contemporary French cuisine served in a gorgeous, romantic dining room twinkling with lights and greenery. (Don't miss a fun photo op at the flower wall.)
Dean Street Townhouse 71 Dean St., Soho. I've had the pleasure of eating dinner here on a few occasions and love it's vibrant, casual atmosphere and classic English food — fish and chips over mashed marrowfat peas.
Jamie Oliver's 15 15 Westland Pl, Hoxton. Friends rave about their fabulous meals here and the outstanding service. I love that the restaurant offers neighbors a discount to encourage them to come by frequently. Incredible gin bar with homemade tonic and delicious cocktails.
J. Sheekey 28-32 St Martin's Ct. Covent Garden. An iconic London seafood restaurant perfect for pre-and-post theater dining. A glass (or two) of champagne is a must!
Le Caprice 20 Arlington St., St. James's. This legendary low-lit Mayfair dining spot, one of Princess Di's favorites, serves classic comfort food. We enjoyed a perfect date night here.
NAC 41 N Audley St, Mayfair. Casual French bistro with small plates. Relaxed, cool, fun.
The Delaunay 55 Aldwych. Covent Garden. Viennese inspired elegant brasserie (same owners as The Wolseley) known for their Schnitzel. Great for pre-theater dinner.
The Harwood Arms Walham Grove, Fulham. An established gastropub in Fulham with a Michelin-star
The Ivy 1-5 West St. A fixture on the British food scene since 1917, this iconic Covent Garden eatery was redesigned with great fanfare. The gorgeous central dining bar is buzzing and does not require reservations, so it's fun to stop in for a cocktail. British food with seasonal selections.
The Wolseley 160 Piccadilly, St. James's. An iconic, Art Deco grand cafe, offers every meal but the breakfast and brunch are a classic. I've also enjoyed a late dinner and champagne cocktail!
Scott's 20 Mount St, Mayfair. Excellent seafood. Always.
Sexy Fish Berkeley Square House, Mayfair. This swanky, hotspot served some of the best sushi ever and other delicious dishes with a Japanese twist. (Chilean sea bass is rock-star dish!) Interiors ooze glam and it's a fun place to people-watch. It can be tough to get a res, but we had no problem and it was during the high season. (Maybe beginner's luck?!)
Sketch 9 Conduit St., Mayfair. Whether you can score a dinner res, stop in for drinks, or relax at a festive afternoon tea, this eccentric Mayfair hotspot with 3 lounges and 2 restaurants, is a must-see! We sipped cocktails in cut crystal glasses, and tried to blend in (lol!) with the hipster clientele. The Insta-famous Gallery with its pink dining room, scalloped chairs and velvety-soft banquettes and David Shrigley's sketches is a fave for good reason!
Bernardi's 62 Seymour St., Marylebone. A quaint neighborhood restaurant perfect for brunch.
Blixen 65A Brushfield St. An ideal spot for brunch in the garden. There is a brand new bar below ground, Bar III, with hand crafted cocktails.
Dishoom 4 Derry St. One of the most popular spots for Indian cuisine in London, there is usually a wait but it's worth it, so arrive early. Do not miss the naan, chicken ruby, or okra fries.
Granger & Co 175 Westbourne Grove. Close to Portobello Road and lots of cute shops, this is a must for breakfast. The flavors and presentation of every dish is so well done; even basics like scrambled eggs and toast are beautiful. Do not let the waiter leave your table without placing an order of ricotta hotcakes to share - you won't be sorry.
Il Baretto 43 Blandford St, Marylebone. A well-heeled Italian eatery with simple but delicious food and great atmosphere. Popular among locals.
NOPI 21-22 Warwick St, Soho. Tucked away from the Regent Street Soho shopping you will find NOPI, a quaint, bright and beautiful Mediterranean restaurant. We came for brunch and fell in love with the fresh juices, mushroom toast, but the real star of the show was the shakshuka.
The Petersham Garden 27-31 Kings Street
Pizza East, 310 Portobello Rd. Tasty rustic pizza. Perfect casual dining spot in Notting Hill for an easy dinner with friends.
The Grazing Goat 6 New Quebec St., Marylebone. At this cozy gastro pub I had the pleasure of enjoying a festive holiday lunch of tasty grilled chicken, greens and "chips" with a friend I hadn't seen in years. With so much catching-up to do, and the weather turning cold outside, our meal stretched into cocktail hour and the servers couldn't have been more accommodating! PS: Cute boutiques next door and just minutes from Oxford Street and Selfridges.
Bob Bob Ricard 1 Upper James St., Soho. This iconic Soho restaurant with Art Deco decor and dining booths decked out with a "Press for Champagne" button at every table (the table lights up with every bubbly request) is famous for pouring more champagne than any restaurant in the UK. Who can resist that?!
Dandelyan Bar Mondrian London, 20 Upper Ground, Southwark, river views. Swanky, bubble gum pink-hued, playful interiors and green marble bar make for a fun atmosphere. Phenomenal cocktails. Mix that all up and it's no surprise it was recently named the best bar in the world at The World's 50 Best Bars awards, among other accolades.
Mr. Fogg's Tavern 58 St Martin's Lane. Themed around explorer Phileas Fogg, this old-timey London pub is known for their extensive gin list and elaborate decor.
Park Chinois 17 Berkeley St., Mayfair. This 1930s inspired, Cotton Club era bar and restaurant is gorgeous. Enjoy dinner, or cocktails and dancing in the ballroom until the wee hours...
Radio Bar 336-337 Strand. This rooftop bar is located on the 10th floor of the ME London Hotel with some of the best views of the city. Pairs well with a glass of bubbly:)
Scout 93 Great Eastern St. New in Shoreditch, hipster crowd. This highly sustainable bar with a "zero-waste" goal is serving up some of the most creative and photo-worthy cocktails in London. Menu changes daily, reservations recommended but walk-ins welcome.
The Blind Pig 58 Poland St, Soho. Call ahead to reserve bar table. This speakeasy-eque bar serves up an extensive cocktail menu inspired by children's literature. From decor to drink presentation, this is truly a unique bar experience.
The Blind Spot 93 Great Eastern St. Covent Garden. Stylish, moody bar with live music and tasty cocktails.
Afternoon Tea:
A trip to London is not complete without experiencing the centuries-old tradition of Afternoon Tea introduced in 1840. The story goes that between lunchtime and the 8 pm fashionably late dinner time the Duchess of Bedford had hunger spells and desired a pot of tea and light snack around 4 p.m. Eventually, this "ceremony" became hugely popular. Today, the British custom is fondly regarded as "a way to break up the day in the nicest way." I quite agree!... Even though there are over 240 spots for Afternoon Tea in London, reservations are always advised.
The Athenaeum 116 Piccadilly, Mayfair. Afternoon Tea is a ritual this hotel has down to a fine art! And, if you love the idea of partaking in this custom but are intimated, no worries! The website offers advice for perfect tea etiquette. For example, English Breakfast tea is a safe bet among the dozens of teas offered; they tell you how to use a tea strainer, and instruct the correct way to stir your tea! As for the food, they recommend think savoury first and progress to sweet.
B-Bakery Afternoon Tea Bus Tour 164 Buckingham Palace Road. Jump aboard this vintage London Bus for a festive, perhaps boozy G&T, afternoon tea while you see the city's famous landmarks.
Brown's Hotel Albemarle Street. "TeaTox" a healthy makeover of the traditional menu of tea sandwiches, cream, pastries, etc. low carb, low, fat "think avocado and hummus" and gluten free raspberry brownies.
Claridge's Brook St, Mayfair. With the impressive bragging rights of serving afternoon tea for 150 years, Claridge's is always a class act! The elegant, sumptuous afternoon tea - with it's perfect pastries and to-die-for scones - is lovely for any celebration. You definitely need to book well ahead. Indulge in bubbly and select from 24 specially blended teas.
Fortnum & Mason 181 Piccadilly, St. James's. Come for the tea but stay for the biscuits in this quaint oasis the storied Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon located on the fourth floor, just out of reach from the tourist buzz down below, at this royal grocers founded in 1707.
Peggy Porschen Cakes 116 Ebury Street, (bakery open 8 am-8 pm.) This pastel Instagram hot spot is a dream come true for those who crave cupcakes, meringues, marshmallows, heart cookies, and of course, pretty lattes.
The Dorchester 53 Park Lane, Mayfair. Afternoon tea here is a decadent affair. Served in the grand Promenade lobby with piano music softly playing, you feel like you don't have a care in the world except deciding which dainty sandwich to eat first, and whether you should put a dollop of Cornish cream before or after the preserves on your bite size scone.
The Goring Hotel 15 Beeston Pl, Westminster. Enjoy afternoon tea at this timeless hotel behind Buckingham Palace. This hotel is a favorite of Princess Kate's, and where she famously spent her last night before her wedding. The Queen hosts her Christmas lunch here and it's the 1st and only hotel to be granted a royal seal of approval. It's a fan and royal fave, with those in the know advising that when you book your plane tix to London, also book your tea time here!
The Langham Hotel step inside the lovely, lavish Palm Court for an unforgettable afternoon tea for the whole family. Despite the grandeur, the word is that it's a lovely experience even for little ones including a cold chocolate drink and other sweet touches just for children.
The Ritz 150 Piccadilly, St. James's. Since 1906 afternoon tea has been a tradition here. Hosted in the hotel's ornate Palm Court, the tea includes the requisite finger sandwiches with smoked salmon, ham, alongside fresh scones and cakes on a tiered cake stand. Worth all the calories are the strawberry preserve and Cornish clotted cream perfectly paired with fresh baked scones. Note, you need to dress for tea here. Men cannot wear jeans, and tennis shoes or "trainers" are not allowed. Served daily 11:30 am-7:30 pm.
Some of the world's oldest department stores and street markets call London home. From posh boutiques to tiny vintage and quirky shops, there is shopping for every taste and budget.
Bond Street in the West End, there is New and Old Bond Street, offers boutiques from the best designers in the world if you can afford extravagant retail therapy, or window shopping here can be just as satisfying. In the heart of London, there is bustling Oxford Street with more than 300 shops, designer outlets and landmark stores such as Selfridges (see below).
The birthplace of the fashion revolution during the 60s, the 14 streets that make up Carnaby are located between Oxford Street and Regent Street (see below), and feature more than 100 brands, many unique, and dozens of restaurants, cafes and pubs. During the holidays these streets are a visual carnival of colorful lights.
Covent Garden this vibrant, traffic-free cobblestone square on the eastern fringes of the West End is a serious shopping destination with plenty of great eateries and entertainment. The Royal Opera House calls this area home, as do street performers, luxury shops, cafes and iconic restaurants like The Ivy. After exploring here, walk to nearby Soho...
Daunt Books 84 Marylebone High St., Marylebone. Sit and linger for a few hours at this wood paneled Edwardian bookstore. Enjoy an excellent selection of travel titles and poetry.
Floris Jermyn Street. Founded in 1730, the flagship Floris perfumerie shop is a treat! The elegance, history and frangrances of this family-run biz are intoxicating. Check out the small museum in the back with letters from royals and other fancy clientele like Sir Winston Churchill, Ian Fleming and Marilyn Monroe.
Harrods 87-135 Brompton Rd., Knightsbridge. This legendary department store looks like a storybook destination from the outside, but is crazy-crowded inside. However, many can't imagine a visit to London without checking it out at least once (and maybe take home an iconic green and gold bag?!). And Harrods' Food Hall is a foodie's paradise!
Harvey Nichols 109-125 Knightsbridge. Oh, the shoes and the seasonal sales! To die for! Enough said...
JOSEPH 236 Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill. A fun mix of contemporary brands in a lovely contemporary space. I found a beautiful, flirty dress here that I treasure.
One Vintage 1NR, 200 Kensington Park Rd. Tiny shop with unique vintage pieces. One of the city's best kept secrets!
Regent Street is a shopper's delight with Liberty being the quintessential British gem, right down to its Tudor Revival exterior, lovely staircases and clever displays. Famous for their fabrics, and I always buy a scarf from their unique selection designed by British artists annually. Equally impressive are some limited edition women's fashion lablels that I can't find elsewhere...
Marylebone Village 23 Queen Anne Street, behind Oxford Street's fantastic department store, Selfridges.
Penhaligon's Covent Garden, 41 Wellington St. This Covent Garden institution is one of my favortie parfumeries! Years ago, my husband and I had a brilliant time here sipping champagne while sampling scents and learning the stories and history behind the perfumerie that dates back to 1870. I wear this pretty perfume regularly.
Selfridges 400 Oxford St, Marylebone. Love this iconic department store. I was lucky to admire its dazzling window displays dressed up for the holidays. Pure magic! The rooftop terrace is super fun for post-shopping cocktails.
Fortnum & Mason 181 Piccadilly, St. James's. A famous 18th century department store known for its gourmet treats. It's holiday boutique at Somerset House is a sight to see.
Saville Row & Jermyn Street Ok, confession time: when my husband and I travel, shopping is usually about me. But in London, it's his time! Over the years he has acquired shoes, custom wool pants, gorgeous tailored shirts and more in this iconic area that's been home to the world's finest tailors for centuries. The quality and selection of these outfitters can't be beat.
See & Do:
Although London has a reputation of being an expensive city, there are many free attractions. The city boasts several museums with free admission, many located in South Kensington called "London's Museum Mile." (Museums listed below with an * are free; some exhibits may be an extra charge). It's public parks are legendary with almost 50% of Greater London made up of green space - it's no wonder a picnic in the park is a favorite summer pastime! Some of my favorite things to do are strolling through lovely Hyde Park - the largest of the four Royal Parks; wandering picturesque neighborhoods like Notting Hill; biking along the River Thames; or attending a live theater performance in the West End. After your excursions, take time to relax and indulge in Afternoon Tea…
Big Ben at the north end of the the Palace of Westminster, London. You can't miss one of London's most iconic landmarks on the London skyline. It's best to visit this popular tourist area, that includes the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower, in the morning. But if you get the chance to see it at night, it's spectacular when the clock's four faces are lit.
Bicycle along the River Thames on the long stretches of traffic free paths. There are several rental bike companies for example, Fat Tire Bike Tours has several tour meeting places throughout the city. A fun way for kids to see the sights! See the website for more info.
Borough Market: 8 Southwark Street, London. Take the Tube (underground train) to this foodie's paradise and historic market, (some say it dates back 1,000 years), nestled at the foot of the London Bridge. Start your gourmet adventure on a Saturday morning with coffee and fresh-baked goods (my fave is the almond croissants at Bread Ahead Bakery). There are 100s of stalls selling fresh produce, local honey, teas (of course) and gifts like dish towels and jams. The sprawling Borough is a familiar film location for Bridget Jones's Diary and other movies. A fun place to feel like a local!
The British Museum* Great Russell Street. The oldest museum in the world, and Britain's biggest housing over 8 million objects, including the famous 196 BC Rosetta Stone. Rodin and the Art of Ancient Greece is running until July 2018.

Kensington Palace and Gardens, located in Hyde Park. Diana Fashion Exhibit is a must see, as well as the Queen's state apartment. There is a special outdoor screening of the Royal Wedding on May 19th, 2018.
London Bridge Tower Bridge Road. Day or night, this iconic bridge is a popular and pretty sight to see!
Theater District London's vibrant West End is the Mecca for theater lovers with over 40 theaters to choose from. Buy tickets online for the top musicals, plays, comedies and performances. We enjoyed the cheeky Kinky Boots at the Adelphi Theatre and had so much fun being part of a lively audience that was totally into it!
The London Eye, Lambeth. This giant Ferris wheel launched in 2000 for the Millenium on the South Bank of the River Thames offers spectacular city views. At 443 feet, it is the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel. (I'll be taking my teens for a whirl during our visit this summer).
The National Portrait Gallery* Covent Garden. The first portrait gallery in the world when it opened in 1856. See Michael Jackson, the Wall exhibit runs June 28 to Oct. 2018.
Natural History Museum* South Kensington is London's Museum Mile and this is at the center of it. Don't miss the Dinosaurs gallery and many more treasures. Great outing for a rainy day!
Notting Hill famous worldwide thanks to the film of the same name, with its picturesque rows of pastel houses, buzzing Portobello Road, and chic shops and cafes on Westbourne Grove, this charming neighborhood is always a delight...
Piccadilly Circus the portal to London's buzzing West End, this exciting and vibrant (often compared to NYC's Times Square) area is hopping with restaurants, shops, theaters and a neon-lit nightlife.
Portobello Road Market 306 Portobello Rd. The world's largest antiques market is a sight to see but it's best to arrive before 11 a.m. because it gets crowded. However, the effort is worth it if you are on the hunt for vintage treasures. I loved the heaps of polished silver spoons and flatware; so easy to pack...
St. George's Chapel Windsor Castle, 2 The Cloisters, Windsor. This is the church where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tie the knot May 19th, 2018. About an hour outside London in the royal family's residence at Windsor Castle
The Tate Modern* Southwark. Bankside of the Thames. This museum was recently renovated and houses an impressive contemporary art collection. Be sure not to miss the EY Exhibition Picasso 1932-Love, Fame, Tragedy (March 8-September 9, 2018).
Tower of London St Katharine's & Wapping. This 900-year-old castle houses the Crown Jewels and has a infamous but fascinating history as a palace, a prison and a fortress. If you visit this summer, see the exhibit and learn of the tragic fate of Anne Boleyn Live at the Tower May-August 30, 2018.
Victoria & Albert Museum* (V&A), Cromwell Road, Knightsbridge. This gorgeous museum has a considerable permanent collection as well as exciting visiting exhibits in this artful space.
