Much like a cat, you can instantly shift your balance when you fall and roll with the impact, avoiding serious injury and landing on your feet.
Prerequisite(s): Dex 13, Acrobatics 1 rank.
Benefit(s): When you succeed at a DC 15 Acrobatics skill check to soften a fall, you ignore the first 20 feet of that fall and convert the damage from the next 10 feet of the fall to nonlethal damage. You land on your feet as long as you take less than 20 points of damage from the fall.
Normal: A successful DC 15 Acrobatics check allows you to ignore the first 10 feet fallen, and you fall prone if you take any falling damage.

Fun in winter
You'd never believe it's winter in South Africa - but not in Durban here on the sunny east coast. We've just enjoyed a long-weekend of glorious sunshine and joined our guest Darren (from London) at North Beach where the sun and surf was awesome.

Meet Jean-Baptiste Queru. He's Google's lead technical developer for the Android Open Source Project, the open-source Android code that manufacturers and ROM developers use to create updated versions of Android. And he's not nearly as upset about the lackadaisical state of Android updates as we (and probably you) are. In a Google+ post yesterday, he broke down some of the reasons that Android updates in general and Ice Cream Sandwich updates in particular take so long.
Giving the recent example of Sony's ICS update for the Tablet S, Queruhad this to say:
This is actually a very reasonable time, since under the hood Ice Cream Sandwich is quite different from Honeycomb (and upgrades from Gingerbread are likely to take longer as those differences are huge).
He went on to praise Sony for their many contributions back to Android's open source code, something that's hard to deny. He notes that since Ice Cream Sandwich differs so greatly from Android in its previous incarnations, longer than usual updates aren't all that bad.
We've got a couple of points of contention with this approach. One, Sony took nearly six months to release an ICS update for its Tablet S, and there are still too many tablets and phones out there (like the Xperia S) that are still without ICS despite being launched months after the source code became available. If small teams of independent developers can create Android 4.0 ROMs from scratch in weeks, why does it take international companies months?
Queru also notes that it takes time for manufacturers and carriers to customize their own software for a new version of Android. That's absolutely true, but it doesn't mean it's a good reason for huge delays. If it takes 7-8 months for Samsung to release Ice Cream Sandwich for the Galaxy Note because they want to cram in some extras with their own software, maybe that software isn't worth the wait. Even on Verizon's Galaxy Nexus, which is supposed to be a developer device, stock users have been stuck on Android 4.0.2 for months while newer phones and ROMs are released.
Jean-Baptiste Queru posted his thoughts on his personal Google+ account, so his opinions shouldn't be taken as representative for Google itself. But if this is what one of the most important Android developers out there thinks, I can't help but be worried that Google is just fine with the status quo, while Android users wait for updates that are almost universally late or never come at all.

The Royal Charter was granted to the Bank of England in 1694. Its mainstay of operations was the provision of loans to the British East India Company, and other companies associated with imperial expansion, as the British Empire spread across the world.
In 1844 the Rothschild family had ambition to control the British economy (and therefore foreign and domestic policy) and this was secured by the Bank Charter Act of that year, giving the bank monopoly control over the production of Sterling and the nation's money supply. All profits were paid to the private owners. This remains true today of the Federal Reserve Bank in America. In the case of the Bank of England it's a little more complicated, though nonetheless true.
The now famous quote by Mayer Amschel Rothschild, only a few years earlier, said it all. "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws."
I often wonder what is so difficult to comprehend about this, and why people seem not to realise the implications, particularly at the time of writing this, as the world faces a coup d'état by a 'financial elite', collapsing the current financial system (and not a few economies as a result) into a well planned global system upon which it has already made every economy dependant. Just as was originally planned!
They themselves refer to their ultimate goal as 'The Great Work of Ages'. To try to identify the 'elite' individuals concerned, and to 'legally' prove their crime, is to be distracted from something far more obvious and important. Who they are does not matter. Their presence is betrayed utterly by the act they have committed and continue to commit. That is the issuance of our currency to our nation as a repayable, interest bearing, debt. This burden can and should be removed. To do so would not be an act of 'politics' but one of spiritual and economic necessity… and pure common sense.
Britain was bankrupt as a result of WW2, and could not afford to pay cash for the bank, so an agreement was drafted whereby shareholders would receive 3% Treasury Stock instead. All the shares were transferred to the Treasury solicitor, who holds them to this day. The bank, however, remains a 'Corporation' not a government department.
The bank was indeed nationalised in 1946 making it a 'public sector institution wholly owned by the government'. At least at first sight!
Immediately after WW2 'NAZI International' commenced their financial coup d'état as they moved their industrial and financial complex across the world into Argentina and the US. It is no secret nowadays that a cabal of elite bankers financed the NAZIs as well as the 'Allies'. It's purely a matter of record. As is the NAZI element within NASA! Perhaps it's time to realise what we have allowed to happen. Perhaps we feel we have no choice?
Indeed the 1946 act is quite clear on what actually happened:
"Transfer of Bank stock to the Treasury
(1) On the appointed day –
(a) the whole of the existing capital stock of the Bank (hereinafter referred to as "Bank stock") shall, by virtue of this section, be transferred, free of all trusts, liabilities and encumbrances, to such person as the Treasury may by order nominate,(3) to be held by that person on behalf of the Treasury;
(b) the Treasury shall issue, to the person who immediately before the appointed day is registered in the books of the Bank as the holder of any Bank stock, the equivalent
amount of stock created by the Treasury for the purpose (hereinafter referred to as the "Government stock").
Allow me to translate: The bank will be nationalised, but the full value of the bank will be paid to its owners on the day of 'nationalisation' by way of transferring UK assets! In plain English 'legalese', the nation paid for the bank which had effectively 'privatised' the nation under corporate control, though it did not yet have full autonomy over the nation's resources. This remained a long term objective of the banking 'cabal'. One attained before our very eyes behind a wall of distractions
Note the statement, "Any profits made by the bank in its day to day business are paid over to HM Treasury". I would point out that 'day to day business' and 'paid over' are intentionally ambiguous 'legalese'.
First of all, according to the Act itself, only HALF of the profits are payable to the Treasury! "In lieu of dividend on the banks capital" (B of E Act 1946 & 1998)
OR…'such other sum as is agreed' between the Treasury and The Bank!
This sum is to be paid in two halves, each being 25% of the banks 'day to day' profits, thereby totalling only HALF of the profits. (See also Bank of England Financial Accounts) This puts a slightly different perspective on the UK Treasury and the Banks official line (lie?) that it is 'wholly owned' by the state. It begs the following question which they consistently fail to answer.
Who receives the other half?
Since when has a nationalised company ever paid profits to private, indeed, secret shareholders? The banks own accounts this year state clearly:
"The overall effect is that the bank and HM Treasury will normally share post tax profits equally." Note the phrase, 'overall effect'.
Incidentally, all 'profits' paid to the Treasury are able to be offset by the Bank against Corporation Tax liability, so what they pay to the government is effectively given back by a reduction in corporation tax anyway!
They paid NO corporation tax this year and even received a £22m refund last year! (See Annual Accounts 2008)
This year's accounts show that the profits were broadly £197 million, less a £36m corporation tax offset…leaving £161 million profit to be shared with the Treasury.
Approximately £80million, payable in two payments of £40 million each.
Note that these sums are miniscule compared to the operating profits of even some of the clearing banks! To put this in perspective, the amount of 'profit' it paid to the Treasury broadly equates to the sum taken from the staff pension scheme this year (£90m).
Yes, £81 million will be paid this year to the government, and we are deflected by this rather obvious sleight of hand and the miniscule sum quoted.
The bank states in its accounts:
"The Bank Charter Act 1844 requires that the Bank's note issue function be separated from its other activities. Accordingly, the Bank is divided into 'Issue' and 'Banking".
As the notes to the accounts detail:
"The Issue Department and the Banking Department are accounting designations — neither is an organisational unit of the Bank. The Issue Department is solely concerned with the note issue, the assets backing the issue, the income generated by those assets and the costs incurred by the Bank in printing, issuing, sorting and destroying notes. The entire profit of the note issue is paid over to HM Treasury."
"The separation of Banking from Issue in the Accounts is required by statute. A summary consolidated Bank balance sheet as at 29 February 2008 is set out on page 40. It is provided for information purposes only, to assist comparison with other central banks."
The profit on 'issuance' is quoted as £2.327 Billion. Where is this accounted for? Nowhere!
In 1977, the Bank set up a wholly owned subsidiary called BANK OF ENGLAND NOMINEES LIMITED, (BOEN), a private limited company, No 1307478.
According to his Memorandum & Articles of Association, its objectives are:-
"To act as Nominee or agent or attorney either solely or jointly with others, for any person or persons, partnership company, corporation, government state, organisation, sovereign, province, authority or public body, or any group or association of them…"
The Bank of England Nominees Limited was granted an exemption by Edmund Dell, Secretary of State for Trade, from the disclosure requirements under Section 27(9) of the Companies Act 1976, because "it was considered undesirable that the disclosure requirements should apply to certain categories of shareholders."
The Bank of England is protected from researchers by its "Royal Charter" status and the "Official Secrets Act".
With the manoeuvring of Tony Blair into power in 1997, following the conveniently timed death of the then Labour Party Leader, he and his Chancellor, Gordon Brown (now Prime Minister) repaid their financiers by enacting the 1998 Bank of England Act, giving the Bank of England's 'Court of Directors' complete autonomy and independence with regard to monetary policy. The Banks long term objective was finally realised.
It could now, in association with its 'cabal' members (including the Federal Reserve) stage the final financial coup across the planet, which would necessarily include collapsing the Dollar and the Pound Sterling with a view to moving toward global currency…as was publically announced by Gordon Brown at the recent G20 Conference!
The bank proceeded to inflate the supply of money whilst relaxing the regulations on lending. No longer did banks have to maintain cash in reserve to cover loans they made. Furthermore, the vast majority of money now entering the economy came from commercial banks simply entering figures onto an electronic ledger, creating money out of nothing, ex nihilo, literally. It was simply a matter of 'when' it must collapse, not 'if'. I'd suggest that 'how' was merely a matter of choice.
This creation of money 'out of nowhere', and the ability to lend it many times over, has always been present in the case of the central bank, but now the commercial banks were empowered to do the same. Pure Alchemy, in practise!
If a bank had (say) £10 million in loan requests on any given day, it would simply request that money from the central bank, who would type a few keys to create the money from nowhere and send it to the commercial bank that night. They would then distribute it as loans to its customers. They earn interest from the customer and, of course, pay interest to the central bank for the loan of the capital. Money and profit from nowhere.
So, on the face of it, the bank is a wholly owned public institution. It pays half of its profits from 'day to day' business to the government (CROWN actually) and all of its profits from issuance to the Crown also.
Upon scrutiny, the institution 'privatised' government itself in 1946 (a 'hostile takeover' of certain governmental functions) and finally took control of monetary policy in 1998 (Gordon Browns very first act as Chancellor) to initiate the medium term collapse of the global economy, whereby they 'privatise' governments globally and consolidate the global financial system under their full control. Why would anyone do this to us? Are we really going to sit back and allow this to continue whilst we ponder the intricacies of that question when the answer is irrelevant? It has been done to us and is in the process of being irreparably rolled out across the world.
This is surely the New World Order so many speak of.
Clearly the bank is a private institution with secret shareholders. One of which is our government/crown! If we accept the government's explanation, which is 'true' in law, and overlook the glaring holes in their version, we are surely fearful or ignorant.
Our own government, under the direct control of the Bank, issues our currency as a debt to the nation upon which it charges interest. Repayment of that debt accounts for all the taxes paid by the people of the UK. The Bank pays half of the profit to unknown persons, although in practise it seems that all profits may be paid to these anonymous shareholders.
Meanwhile, as everyone debates the complexities of 'solving' the economic crash the simple cure to the global economic problems remains entirely overlooked by the so called 'experts' and commentators.
We do not need to BORROW the money our nation requires to fund its infrastructures. 'They' create it from nowhere, and lend it to us. We can do that for ourselves, at zero interest and without capital repayment!
This is probably the single biggest 'occulted' truth throughout recorded history, and is a key to our immediate freedom and future prosperity. The principle of 'usury' and the dangers, experienced over millennia, of allowing 'money changers' to control its issuance, lays at the root of esoteric and spiritual philosophy throughout history. It is no coincidence, therefore, that the esoteric cabal of elite bankers (call them what you will) dominate the occult secret societies which have researched (and acted upon) these principles for many centuries, in furtherance of the 'Great Work of Ages'.
Only now, in these current times, can humanity become sufficiently aware of the divine comedy being played by an elite occult 'society', and step up to take the starring role. Indeed it is doing so now.
Ergo these are the only times to face this issue and succeed.
In a recent interview I mused ironically upon Churchill's famous quote, originally a tribute to the brave airmen in the Battle of Britain:
"Never, in the field of human apathy, has so much been surrendered by so many…to so few!"
The Battle for Britain unfolds…
Many people believe that the Bank of England is a privately owned corporation. They believe that it's owned by the Rothschild's. Neither of these beliefs is true. The truth is much worse, and will pain many of us. The story of the Bank of England is the story of the British Empire.
The British Empire was never a political empire. It was always a monetary financial empire, as much a parasite on the people of Great Britain as the rest of the world. We need to rethink our idea of the Victorian British empire bringing civilisation to the darkest parts of the world.
The Bank of England was originally set up as a core part of the Empire – making huge profits from loans to the British East India Company and other tendrils of the corporate parasite. The mainstays of the trading activities of these companies were drugs, warfare and the looting of raw materials from poverty stricken nations.
As the banker to the Government, the Bank also did quite nicely from lending to the Treasury. In those days, the profits of the Bank went into the hands of the shareholders. In 1844, Rothschild's inspired desire to take control of Britain came true with the Bank Charter Act. This gave the Bank of England the monopoly on the production of Sterling, and control of Britain's money supply.
In Northern Ireland and Scotland, where to this day commercial banks are allowed to print their own money, they must have one Bank of England note in reserve for every note of their own that they issue.
The Bank was "nationalised" in 1946. At the end of WWII, Britain was bankrupt, so it was agreed that instead of paying cash for the shares of the Bank, shareholders would receive 3% Treasury stock instead. With the 1946 Bank of England Act, all the Bank shares were transferred into the possession of the Treasury solicitor, and there they are to this day. It remains a corporation, not a government department.
In 1977, the Bank set up a wholly owned subsidiary called BANK OF ENGLAND NOMINEES LIMITED, (BOEN), a private limited company, No 1307478, with 2 of its 100 £1 shares issued. According to his Memorandum & Articles of Association, its objectives are :-
"To act as Nominee or agent or attorney either solely or jointly with others, for any person or persons, partnership company, corporation, government state, organisation, sovereign, province, authority or public body, or any group or association of them…"
The Bank of England Nominees Limited was granted an exemption by Edmund Dell, Secretary of State for Trade, from the disclosure requirements under Section 27(9) of the Companies Act 1976, because "it was considered undesirable that the disclosure requirements should apply to certain categories of shareholders."
Moreover, the Bank of England is protected from prying eyes by its "Royal Charter" status and the Official Secrets Act. Just what have we got here?
In 1998, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place. In return for fixing the 1997 elections and getting New Labour into power, the Government enacted the 1998 Bank of England Act, which gave the Bank's Court of Directors complete independence with regard to monetary policy.
So if we add all this together, we have a 'nationally owned' institution which has the monopoly of the production of the national currency, and has independent control of the country's monetary policy, in the hands of a Court of Directors who serve the private banking system as they have since the Bank was established.
Think about it. 'Private banking control of our currency and monetary policy, fully independent of government'.
When Gordon Brown signed away government oversight of the Bank, he committed Treason on a scale not seen in Britain since the Health government took us into what would become the EU.
Since 1998 we have seen the Bank rapidly inflate the money supply, while at the same time relaxing regulation on how banks could lend. No longer were banks required to have cash in reserve for loans they may. Instead the vast majority of currently entering the economy did so as a result of commercial banks entering some numbers into a ledger – money out of thin air, literally.
Working for the private bankers, the Bank of England set things up to maximise the returns for their banking colleagues' speculative activities, in the full knowledge that as a nationalised institution, it would be the UK taxpayer who was carrying all the risk, and not, as would have been the case before 1946, the shareholders.
The Court of Directors is working for the Anglo/Dutch/Saudi empire – still-alive-and-kicking hidden hand behind the British Empire of the Victorian age. So it's no surprise that the solution they provide to today's manufactured monetary financial collapse is to print more money. Their aim is to destroy the last vestiges of British sovereignty; for a hyper-inflated and hyper-devalued Sterling to be replaced by a single, global, currency, under a single world fascist government. That is the United Nations – the embryonic New World Order.
At G20 Gordon Brown announced the new global currency – to be issued and managed by the newly reinvigorated IMF. Poppycock? No. Either we stop it or suffer.

The Heart of God Revealed
December. Advent and Christmas. Two seasons of the Church Year that fall in this month that speak the truth of God's Word and reveal the very heart of God: that God became man in order to save man from the condemnation he brought upon himself and the doom eternal that approaches man in this cursed and fallen world.
God becoming man to save man. Islam finds that teaching abhorrent and those who hold to it worthy of destruction at their hands, as are all the enemies of Allah as we have repeatedly seen and will continue to see in the name of their made up god and manmade religion that knows nothing of the True Living, Triune God's heart. Those who hold to the teachings of their false prophet hold to nothing more than another form of natural, fallen man's works-righteous religion with some incredibly sad, abhorrent and deadly consequences. And they know nothing of God's sacrificial, unmerited love for them in sending His only ever-begotten Son into our very flesh in order to be their and all of mankind's savior from our sinful guilt. God born to die that we might never die. In Allah, they know nothing of the love, forgiveness and reconciliation with the True, Living, loving Creator.
God becoming man to save man. The world of fallen man around us finds the incarnation and birth of Christ ridiculous (and offensive, certainly nothing to be on display in the public), at best a quaint fable meant to make some moral point of generosity and reminder for showing good will and love toward our fellow man – that is until they dare to get in the way of our "Black Friday" selections. How incredibly sad that the season that is to focus on God's most precious gift to us in His Son has for so long in our society become the focal point of materialistic gain in the name of red suit theology which again is all about works righteousness (you receive based on how you live, whether you have been naughty or nice – the EXACT OPPOSITE of the Gospel of Christ where God gives His greatest gift to us without ANY merit on our part, indeed while we were still sinners and His enemies, truly "naughty" ones!).
And perhaps in response to these and other sad twistings of God's work and gift to us, it seems there is even a growing movement of "atheism", of the attempted rejection of the spiritual for the secular, ignoring that we are hardwired for spirituality, for a relationship with God no matter how much they ignore it, and they will fill that void with some form of spirituality whether they realize it or not.
In a time when the Good News of Jesus seems to be increasingly forgotten or deemed irrelevant, or twisted or watered down to fit popular culture's politically correct approval meter, we might be tempted to withdraw or worse, change our message. But this fallen world is the same as it always has been since that first bite of forbidden fruit – that is, its need remains the same: Repentance and Forgiveness. This will only come by clearly, boldly, and lovingly proclaiming the Law and Gospel – proclaiming the Word in all its entirety and purity – or as we also state: Speak the Truth in Love.
God became man to save man – to save those caught in Islam, materialism, secularism, paganism, atheism, or other forms of fallen man's natural religion of works righteousness. By God's gracious word alone, He has opened our blind eyes to His Truth and breathed True Life back into our spiritually dead being through faith in His blessed Son's Incarnation, death and resurrection – trusting in that payment for the guilt of our sins. He has shown us His heart and brought us back into His family. And now He works through His Church, us, to shine this light of God's Word to all who so need to hear it This month, indeed every month, all need this Good News proclaimed – all need to have the True Living God's heart revealed to them – of God becoming man to save man.

BTW, who won the World Cup spitting competition, the diving competition and the whinging at the ref competition?
BTW, who won the World Cup spitting competition, the diving competition and the whinging at the ref competition?
Portugal won most of them. And the "playing like a girl" trophy. Actually, I take that back as being insulting to girls.
Maybe, but general whinging, complaining and being sore losers competition definitely won by english [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Its because anyone who gets a red card has his case considered by FIFA to see whether further punishment is merited. In Figo's case, he got a yellow card and FIFA cannot consider the case further because the ref considered a yellow card sufficient punishment
The real questions are these. Zidane was red carded in the final clearly on the evidence of the 4th or 5th official who either saw the incident live or on the telly. If so, why was'nt Figo red carded in the same way as the 4th or 5th official in that match must have seen the incident? Secondly, in the Premier League in the UK, the League have the power to review incidents after the match whether or not any card was issued by the ref. Why dont FIFA give themselves this power?

I also studied my Patriarchal Blessing and some talks on forgiveness. I found this great quote from Elder Uchtdorf,
"When the Lord requires that we forgive all men, that includes forgiving ourselves. Sometimes, of all the people in the world, the one who is the hardest to forgive-as well as perhaps the one who is most in need of our forgiveness- is the person looking back at us in the mirror."
I'm still working really hard on forgiving myself. Its a long process.
I really hope I can get some sleep and tomorrow is a better day. No matter how hard each day is I know I'm working towards my end goal and it will all be worth it.

In 1939, Friedrich Kellner, a German opponent of Hitler, began to document his impressions of the Nazi regime and its crimes. The resulting diary was published in German in 2011, and will soon become available in English. Among other things, the text offers evidence of what ordinary citizens of the Third Reich knew about their government's activities. Matt Lebovic writes:
Kellner . . . wrote 676 entries [in the diary], drawing from numerous sources and a formidable knowledge of history. . . . Some of Kellner's information came from sources that were widely available, including the Nazi-party broadsheet and illegal radio broadcasts. To gather other [information], Kellner questioned people and sifted through gossip, attaching more than 500 newspaper clippings along the way. A potent sense of anger fills Kellner's diary, directed not only at the Nazis but also [at] his fellow citizens and the world for allowing Hitler to rise.
As the Nazis spread terror across Europe, Kellner documented atrocities the regime sought to hide. To put current events in context for future readers, he made pointed references to Hitler's tome Mein Kampf, on which he was an expert. Among other crimes, he wrote about the "mercy killings" of disabled Germans at Hadamar and "retribution" killings carried out against civilians in occupied countries.
Kellner's accounts of the Holocaust were concise, including his report on an early Jewish "action" in Poland. "A solider on leave [in the small central German town where Kellner lived] said he personally witnessed a terrible atrocity in the occupied part of Poland," wrote Kellner in 1941. "He watched as naked Jewish men and women were placed in front of a long deep ditch and, upon the order of the SS, were shot by Ukrainians in the back of their heads, and they fell into the ditch. Then the ditch was filled in as screams kept coming from it."
A few weeks later, Kellner wrote about "Jews being transported somewhere" and "treated worse than animals" along the way. In another entry, he reported on the deportation of specific Jewish families from his town.

Client Alert Client Alert Litigation Litigation March 13, 2014 English Contract Law: Your Word May Still be Your Bond Oral contracts are alive and well – and enforceable. By Raymond L. Sweigart American movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn is widely quoted as having said, 'A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.' He is also reputed to have stated, 'I'm willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.' With all due respect to Mr Goldwyn, he did not have this quite right and recent case law confirms he actually had it quite wrong. English law on oral contracts has remained essentially unchanged with a few exceptions for hundreds of years. Oral contracts most certainly exist, and they are certainly enforceable. Many who negotiate commercial contracts often assume that they are not bound unless and until the agreement is reduced to writing and signed by the parties. However, the courts in England are not at all reluctant to find that binding contracts have been made despite the lack of a final writing and signature. Indeed, as we have previously noted, even in the narrow area where written and signed contracts are required (for example pursuant to the Statute of Frauds requirement that contracts for the sale of land must be in writing), the courts can find the requisite writing and signature in an exchange of emails. 1 As for oral contracts, a recent informative example is presented by the case of Rowena Williams (as executor of William Batters) v Gregory Jones (25 February 2014) reported on Lawtel reference LTL 7/3/2014 document number AC0140753. There the executor of the estate of a deceased minority shareholder brought suit to enforce an agreement by the decedent to sell his shareholding to the majority shareholder. The Judge held that an oral agreement for such a transaction was complete and binding despite the intent of the parties that their agreement should be recorded in a formal written document that 1 In our January 2011 article, King Charles II Meets the Digital Age: Can an Email Chain Satisfy the Statute of Frauds?, we discussed the English High Court judgment in Golden Ocean Group Ltd v Salgaocar Mining Industries PVT Ltd. [2011] EWHC 56 (Comm) and its guidance for parties negotiating contracts via email as to the enforceability of a contractual guarantee under section 4 of the Statute of Frauds 1677. We further noted affirmance by the Court of appeal at [2012] EWCA Civ 265 in our March 2012 article, UK Appeal Court Agrees: Serial Emails Can Create a Contract Satisfying Statute of Frauds. Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP www.pillsburylaw.com | 1 Client Alert Litigation they were to sign. Since the parties had not evidenced the clear intention that their oral agreement should be 'subject to contract,' a formal signature on a written contract was not required. Somewhat similarly, last year in Newbury v. Sun Microsystems [2013] EWHC 2180 (QB), an application was brought for a declaration that a claim and counter-claim were compromised on the terms set out in certain correspondence. The Claimant argued that a binding agreement was reached when the Defendant offered to settle on certain terms and those terms were accepted by letter. The Defendant countered that their letter merely made an offer in principle, that the parties still had to negotiate other terms and conditions and that, in any event, any settlement was to be recorded in a suitably worded agreement and, until such a written agreement was executed, there was no binding contract. Of particular significance, the letter was not expressed to be 'subject to contract.' Had those words been used, the Judge felt it would have been clear that the terms were not yet binding absent a formal contract. The Judge found that the Defendant's failure to use those words in the letter indicated that it was an offer of terms capable of acceptance as it stood. It was not intended to be subject to discussion and agreement on additional or different terms. Air Studios (Lyndhurst) Limited T/A Entertainment Group v Lombard North Central PLC [2012] EWHC 3162 (Q.B.) helpfully sets out the legal principles involved as follows: In deciding whether the parties have reached agreement, the whole course of the parties' negotiations must be considered and an objective test must be applied: Chitty on Contracts, 31st edition (2012), Vol 1, paras 2-028 and 2–029. Once the parties have to all outward appearances agreed in the same terms on the same subject matter, usually by a process of offer and acceptance, a contract will have been formed. The subjective reservations of one party do not prevent the formation of a binding contract. Further, it is perfectly possible for the parties to conclude a binding contract, even though it is understood between them that a formal document recording or even adding to the terms agreed will need to be executed subsequently. Whether they do intend to be bound in such circumstances, or only as and when the formal document is executed, depends on an objective appraisal of their words and conduct. These principles are well established. They were summarised, for example, by Lord Clarke giving the judgment of the Supreme Court in RTS Flexible Systems Ltd. v Molkerei Alois Muller GmbH [2010] UKSC 13, [2010] 1 WLR 735 at [45]: 'The general principles are not in doubt. Whether there was a binding contract between the parties and if so, upon what terms depends upon what they have agreed. It depends not upon their subjective state of mind, but upon a consideration of what was communicated between them by words or conduct, and whether that leads objectively to a conclusion that they intended to create legal relations and had agreed upon all the terms which they regarded or the law requires as essential for the formation of legally binding relations. Even if certain terms of economic or other significance have not been finalised, an objective appraisal of their words and conduct may lead to the conclusion that they did not intend agreement of such terms to be a precondition to a concluded and legally binding agreement.' Lord Clarke went on at [49] to set out the well-known summary of the relevant principles by Lloyd LJ in Pagnan SpA v Feed Products Ltd. [1987] 2 Lloyd's Rep 601 at 619, adding that the same principles apply where the question is whether a contract was concluded in correspondence as well as by oral communications and conduct: Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP www.pillsburylaw.com | 2 Client Alert Litigation 1. In order to determine whether a contract has been concluded in the course of correspondence, one must first look to the correspondence as a whole…. 2. Even if the parties have reached agreement on all the terms of the proposed contract, nevertheless they may intend that the contract shall not become binding until some further condition has been fulfilled. That is the ordinary 'subject to contract' case. 3. Alternatively, they may intend that the contract shall not become binding until some further term or terms have been agreed…. 4. Conversely, the parties may intend to be bound forthwith even though there are further terms still to be agreed or some further formality to be fulfilled…. 5. If the parties fail to reach agreement on such further terms, the existing contract is not invalidated unless the failure to reach agreement on such further terms renders the contract as a whole unworkable or void for uncertainty. 6. It is sometimes said that the parties must agree on the essential terms and it is only matters of detail which can be left over. This may be misleading, since the word 'essential' in that context is ambiguous. If by 'essential' one means a term without which the contract cannot be enforced then the statement is true: the law cannot enforce an incomplete contract. If by 'essential' one means a term which the parties have agreed to be essential for the formation of a binding contract, then the statement is tautologous. If by 'essential' one means only a term which the Court regards as important as opposed to a term which the Court regards as less important or a matter of detail, the statement is untrue. It is for the parties to decide whether they wish to be bound and if so, by what terms, whether important or unimportant. It is the parties who are, in the memorable phrase coined by the Judge [at page 611] 'the masters of their contractual fate.' Of course the more important the term is the less likely it is that the parties will have left it for future decision. But there is no legal obstacle which stands in the way of the parties agreeing to be bound now while deferring important matters to be agreed later. It happens every day when parties enter into so-called 'heads of agreement.' The fourth of these principles was already well established by the time of Parker J's judgment in Von Hatzfeld-Wildenburg v. Alexander [1912] 1 Ch 288. Parker J said at 288: 'It appears to be well settled by the authorities that if the documents or letters relied on as constituting a contract contemplate the execution of a further contract between the parties, it is a question of construction whether the execution of the further contract is a condition or term of the bargain or whether it is a mere expression of the desire of the parties as to the manner in which the transaction already agreed to will in fact go through. In the former case, there is no enforceable contract either because the condition is unfulfilled or because the law does not recognise a contract to enter into a contract. In the latter case, there is a binding contract and the reference to the more formal document may be ignored.' I refer also to the helpful summary by Andrew Smith J in Bear Stearns Bank plc v Forum Global Equity Ltd. [2007] EWHC 1576 (Comm) at [171]: 'The proper approach is, I think, to ask how a reasonable man, versed in the business, would have understood the exchanges between the parties. Nor is there any legal reason that the parties should Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP www.pillsburylaw.com | 3 Client Alert Litigation not conclude a contract while intending later to reduce their contract to writing and expecting that the written document should contain more detailed definition of the parties' commitment than had previously been agreed.' More recently, this principle was applied by the Court of Appeal in Immingham Storage Company Ltd. v Clear Plc [2011] EWCA Civ 89, 135 Con LR 224. The facts there were particularly compelling that the parties intended to be bound notwithstanding the contemplation that a formal contract would be signed in due course. The parties had reached express agreement in writing as to the application of one party's standard terms and conditions; certain subjects (board approval and tank availability) which had previously been stipulated had been lifted; the defendant had been expressly assured of the availability of the tank space in question and that it could now proceed to source its product; and the reference to a formal contract to be sent was stated to be in confirmation of what had been agreed. Giving the judgment of the court, David Richards J at [19] and [25] contrasted these factors with a case where agreement was stated to be subject to contract or subject to execution of a formal agreement, and observed that they pointed overwhelmingly to an intention to create a contract. He added: 'Set against those factors, the provision that a "formal contract will then follow in due course" does not indicate that the claimant's acceptance of the signed quotation will be no more than an agreement subject to contract.' The obvious practical lesson here is that, in negotiating contracts subject to English law, unless and until a party is ready in all respects to enter into a binding agreement, all written communications relating to negotiations and contractual terms should be consistently described as 'subject to contract.' One acts at its peril in disregarding this step as an antiquated or unnecessary formality. 2 If you have any questions about the content of this alert, please contact the Pillsbury attorney with whom you regularly work, or the author below.

Llupar, [2012] EWCA Civ 396, where the Court of Appeal for England and Wales rejected an argument that a partnership at will or in fact had been created between the parties, the defendant's solicitors having marked correspondence regarding the proposed partnership agreement as 'subject to contract.'

I was recently reviewing a program that had a 90 day diet challenge. I got to thinking about why diets fail so often, then I began to think about why people will do a daily devotional for a while then they will slowly gravitate away from it.
My question is: Why do diets fail, and why do daily devotional programs fail?
Then I began to think about the success of the early church. Acts 2:42-47 records what I believe is the answer.
Verse 42 says, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching." There are two critical factors mentioned here that are vital to their success.
First, there were the apostles, the ones who knew the message and were good at sharing it. Then there was the message itself. The message of Jesus the Christ of redemption and salvation.
The next factor is also in verse 42, "They devoted themselves to .. the fellowship." There was a camaraderie which quickly grew among them and is directly related to the next two factors:
"They devoted themselves to... the breaking of bread and of prayer." Sharing meals together and praying together.
Verse 46 tells us, "Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people."
The secret to their success was no secret at all. They simply committed themselves to the teacher, the message, one another, meeting regularly and practicing their faith.
I realized that I have been doing those things for years and they have contributed to the success of the Daily God Walk material and to the small study groups we have which explore the principles found in each daily devotional.
Currently we are in the middle of 30 days studying perseverance. We are looking at how we are rewarded by persevering, how God perseveres with us, and how others are affected by our perseverance.

Lloyd (originator of conversion) said
states that
In its submission to the Select Committee, Transwatch referred to the nimble bus versus the cumbersome train. See Select-8 for a complete rebuttal of their submission.
In its web site, Transwatch claimed that 'probably a bus would use a terminal space 3-4 times as efficiently as the train. With similar calculations, it can be shown that, in terms of both capacity & use, road transport out-performs rail by a factor of 3-5 across the network. This is important. It suggests that alternatives to rail are not only technically feasible, they would be technically highly efficient'. (Journal of the Institute of Economic Affairs Volume 24, No. 2, June 2004). Again that mysterious plan - with no costs, nor building timescale. Claims must not start with probably and end with certainty.
Transwatch claimed on Radio2 (Jeremy Vine programme, 24 July 2007) that 'its calculations showed that only 25% of the space of a rail passenger terminal would be required for buses replacing trains'. No formula or costs, or timescale was given to support this wild claim, which were not challenged. It did not mention that it envisaged them having three levels (which research shows would be insuffucient), or for buses to 'do a loop beyond the terminal', see Fact 5 below.
According to Transwatch: 'terminal capacity is a separate issue and more difficult to demonstrate simply'. It is crucial and only difficult in the absence of a timetable based on a full analysis of the precise journeys which passengers make. Conversion proposals have tended to ignore the practicalities of operation, at which any transport operator - road or rail - would regard as the first essential step. Lloyd sought to dispense with timetables for the very reason that they would prove the impracticability of his dream
Fact 1 – Only one study has been published of a
rail route conversion – part of the route from
Fact 2 – This study included a plan drawing of
the station (
Fact 3- The route from
Fact 4 - The idea of multi floors has not been thought through. The time required by buses to pass to/from upper floors has not been evaluated. There are no drawings, no costs, no assessment of the area that would be occupied with ramps. It is overlooked that local authorities can block such schemes as they did BR plans to build above Fenchurch Street & Euston, and would be very likely to do so, especially with stations that are listed buildings with large roof spans. It would be costly. Every terminal (over 50) will be out of action for at least a year. Some large through stations will require multi-story replacements to avoid buses clogging the ground floor area. Passengers will be diverted to existing roads, which will double up as "terminals". As there will be hundreds to be rebuilt simultaneously, along with increasing clearances of many tunnels & bridges, removing rail infrastructure and laying concrete, the entire system would be out of use for years.
Fact 5 - To 'do a loop, beyond the terminal' – as the conversion mini lobby advocates - is ridiculous. The narrow congested streets around most major city stations make this totally impractical. They would have to cross pedestrian flows outside the terminal, leading to more accidents. Some terminals are not at street level anyway, and surrounding streets would give no space for ramps. Buses would return to the terminal at unpredictable times.
Fact 6 – 'Managing roads to avoid congestion' has yet to be achieved. It should be proven on an existing road that has widths similar to a railway double track, before attempting it from a converted city rail terminal.
Fact 8 - Claims must not start with 'probably' and end with certainty as they do with many conversionist claims.
Fact 9 – No mention is made of the manpower required to clean buses, lorries, bus stations, etc., nor to maintain and clean toilets, waiting areas, etc. Existing railway manpower is included in total railway staffing with which the crudest "comparisons" were – occasionally - made with a handful of lorry or bus drivers. The analogous manpower required to maintain and repair structures (and route) are completely ignored.

I spent last Saturday afternoon with my mum and dad and my sis and her fella and their little son, my nephew, Gregor. Is Gregor not just gorgeously squeezable?
We have had some amazingly hot days here in south west Scotland, I'm really not used to it. It's had my rose bush in full bloom which has been great and it smells lovely too.
I can't resist giving you another picture of the bundle of giggles and cuddles.
Back to the serious business of work and pottery though. This weekend is Potfest in the Park at Hutton in the Forest. I shall be there with lots of pots and hopefully a smile for you all. There's a huge array of potters exhibiting there and as always it is well worth the trip for anyone who has an interest in all things clay. Highly recommended. It's open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10am till 5pm.
I'm hoping that the warmth and the sunshine will continue for the weekend, too, and that my mermaid comes through the kiln successfully for the Potfest competition.

By David Hennessy
Investigative journalist Conor Woodman has travelled to different cities all around the world and been scammed by hustlers so that you won't have to be when you're on your next holiday. The second series of Conor's Scam City is currently airing on National Geographic and has seen Conor fly to New Orleans, Mexico City, New York, Jerusalem, Mumbai and Amsterdam, encountering their dark side. Fake relics, pickpocketing, kidnapping and a high stakes game with rules only the most suicidal of gamblers would take on are just a few things encountered by Conor. Befriending professional scammers, Conor learns their techniques and methods so that you know what to watch out for and what the warning signs are.
Undoubtedly the darkest moment on Conor's journey was in New Orleans when searching for a mysterious game called the Razzle Dazzle, he ends up in a dark room alone with two people, both armed including a masked man who is holding a bat.
Conor tells The Irish World: "Anywhere where there's guns involved generally makes me a bit nervous coming from a non-gun culture as we have here in the UK. I'm always a bit spooked when someone gets their gun out but in America, everyone seems to walk around with guns and quite a few people that we met during the New Orleans episode were packing.
"A lot of the travelling community that descend on New Orleans around the time of Mardi Gras bring these street gambling games with them and the one that I'd heard about was called the Razzle Dazzle, sometimes called Cajun Bingo and it's an illegal gambling game played in back rooms. It's invite only and there's a shadowy reputation to it. I thought it sounded right up our street, exactly the kind of thing we wanted on Scam City.
"It was a dark room in the back of a house in the French Quarter, I didn't really know what to expect. I was led in, she was armed, another guy appeared wearing a mask, he was armed and carrying a baseball bat. It was all about intimidation and I had to place my bet before I was told the rules of the game, that was one of the conditions which I'd agreed to before I went in so I placed my bet. Minimum of $1,000 so I put my $1,000 on the table and then the rules of the game were explained to me: It was a single bullet and a six shooter so essentially it was a game of Russian roulette." After a pause at this point in the story, Conor adds: "I sort of lost interest in the game at that point."
I think anyone would feel the same. Conor got out in one piece but it's worth thinking how such a deadly game ends if one does decide to play: "I'm still not sure and I don't think I ever will be sure exactly at what level the scam was. If I'd played, what would have happened next? But the fact was I was down $1,000. There was no way I was going to put that gun to my head so whether Holly had orchestrated that as a scam or whether that was really the Razzle Dazzle or it's changed and morphed over time, who knows? In that situation, you're not going to find out are you? With two people pointing guns at you and one's also carrying a baseball bat and you're in a dark room: 'Okay, that's it. I've been scammed in a way that any tourist could be'. The way those guys operate is that they look for what they call 'high marks', they look for people who have got $1,000 to lose and who want to get into something a bit dark and a bit mysterious and they happily took $1,000 off me. It was pretty scary. I was pretty glad to see the light of day when I walked back out through that door.
A hustle that no one goes in search of (well, except Conor) is the intimidating kidnapping that is now rife in South America: "In Mexico, they call it 'The Kidnap Express' now. Basically it's a quick kidnap. It can be anyone: It can be locals, it can be tourists and it's generally done with taxis.
"Taxi drivers are very numerous in Mexico City, they're not very well licensed, people can borrow taxis from each other and drive them around. They tend to target people they find between the hours of 11 o'clock and midnight. You get into a taxi, suddenly the taxi stops and picks up another guy and he's got a gun and he says: 'We're going to the ATM and we're going to take out whatever your maximum is, $500 out of your ATM.' And then they'll just sit with you in the car until midnight ticks over and then they'll take you to the ATM again and take another $500 because you've got a new limit after midnight. You're down $1000, they'll kick you out on the street, say 'thank you very much' and off you go. The whole thing is incredibly intimidating but they call it 'The Kidnap Express' because it might take half an hour and the number of people who have fallen victim to this is absolutely staggering.
Some people may wonder if Conor's footage or information is forwarded to the police but this is not how Conor combats the scammers. An imprisoned hustler is a small victory while the scam will continue. Educating people on how the scam works so that they may avoid it is more effective: "I get the interviews often on the basis that I won't take the information to the police. That's a calculated decision by us. I think I do more good for people at large by highlighting what is going on, who these people are and how they work and broadcasting that through the national geographic channel globally than I would do by putting one more guy in jail. The whole point of this show is to show people how they operate so being forewarned is forearmed next time you go on holiday. We can only get that access if we agree a certain degree of anonymity to the people that are involved in the show and I think sometimes that frustrates police forces around the world and I can understand that. But they've got their job to do and we've got our job to do and our job is far more journalistic. It is to get the message out and it's to inform people."
39-year-old Conor was born in Galway before his family moved to Birmingham when he was aged eight. He is the author of The Adventure Capitalist, Unfair Trade: The Truth Behind Big Business, Politics and Fair Trade. His previous TV work includes Around the World in 80 Trades for Channel 4. What advice does Conor offer to anyone going on holiday to avoid being cheated? "General advice is to be as you would at home. I think what a lot of people do is go on holiday and leave their common sense at home. You go to a place where the sun is shining and the wine is flowing, you think it's paradise. It may look like paradise and you can have a great time there but you still have to be as cautious as you would be at home and I think if people just exercise as much caution on holiday as they would at home, they wouldn't fall foul of half as many of these things."

text: Crux 0 Posted May 1, 2018 Elderly man is dragged away and attacked by a lion in front of screaming onlookers after wandering into its enclosure at wildlife park An elderly man was mauled by a huge male lion at a wildlife park in a shocking incident caught on film. The clip, believed to have been filmed on Saturday at the Marakele Predator Park in South Africa, shows the man entering the lion's enclosure. Almost instantly the big cat spots the elderly man, believed to be the owner of the park, and gives chase. Witnesses watch in horror as the animal pursues the man towards the metal door to the pen at the park nine kilometers from Thabazimbi. Onlookers scream as he is dragged back by the beast. The hulking animal claws at the elderly man - who goes limp in its grip. The lion drags the man farther into the enclosure, into some bushes and onlookers scream for help. Then, suddenly, a shot rings out - thought to be from a warden's gun. The lion drops its prey and runs for cover. It is unclear if the man is dead. A woman is heard howling in horror at what she has just witnessed while another man is heard shouting 'get a rifle'.The elderly man remains in a critical condition. The big cat has reportedly been put down in the wake of the grisly attack. Thanks to him wandering into the cat's enclosure, that beautiful creature is now dead for simply doing what comes naturally.

STE 009 – Indianapolis and Graphic Design with Hannah Jones
In this episode we talk with Hannah Jones about her move to Indianapolis, and how her transition from a small town was apparent in the adjustments she made to her new culture and workplace.
- Hannah possesses an undergraduate and graduate degree from Indiana University, and currently works in downtown Indianapolis in graphic design.
- We discuss how people from small towns and cities aren't that different at a base level, and how their environments incentivize different behaviors apparent in both places (or, how all God's children are terrible).
- Hannah's takeaway points for moving to a city are related to cultural adjustment:
- Be patient–you'll be a fish out of water at first, but continuing to deliberately meet new people will eventually generate a new network of friends and contacts.
- People in the city are stereotyped as being cold or unfriendly, but this isn't true.
- Mean mugging (or: weaponizing RBF for fun and profit).
Send us any questions, comments, or suggestions that you have, either for Hannah or us! You can email us at email@example.com or here.

August 2015
Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, says the buoyancy in the Middle East's security market is spearheading its business development in the region where it has focused on boosting its product range and customer base.
"With the pace at which the UAE is developing, the safety and security industry is maturing very rapidly. This is contributing to the overall development of the industry," says Volker Bischoff, general manager of Bosch Middle East.
"Not only are safety aspects being addressed through stringent requirements, like in the case of fire-fighting, fire alarm and evacuation systems, but the region has made major progress on the security front as well in driving regulations for intrusion detection and video surveillance in sensitive business sectors like financial institutes and in public areas like hotels and shopping facilities," he says.
"The major events and initiatives in the UAE, like the World Expo 2020, Dubai World Central Airport, Abu Dhabi museum projects including the Guggenheim, Louvre and Zayed National Museum, and the Dubai Canal project, promise high business potential for us," he adds.
To meet the growing demand, Bosch has expanded its security systems portfolio with a number of innovative solutions. These include the Flexidome IP Panoramic 7000 series 12MP camera with edge de-warping and at-the-edge built-in video analytics to provide a 360-degree overview in a single image; the Autodome IP 4000/5000 series camera that helps locate, track and zoom in on details; the Extegra HD 9000 explosion-proof camera designed for hazardous environments; the Paviro digital public address and evacuation system based on Iris-Net platform; LB6, a highly compact full-range loudspeaker system; the Dicentis wireless conference system; Avenar future-proof fire alarm detectors; the Building Integration System version 4.0; the Mifare Desfire EV1 reader with two interfaces; the Security Escort, for tracking people and assets, which can be used during evacuation for efficient tracking; and the Modular Alarm Platform 5000 addressable intrusion detection panel.
Bosch, which established a regional office in Dubai in 2008, has been marketing its products in the region for over 90 years. In addition, the company has four representative offices – in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Lebanon and Pakistan.
Bischoff points out that given the robust market conditions in the Middle East, Bosch has been maintaining double-digit growth over the years. "We look forward to continuing this trend for years to come. Regionally, we are focused on broadening our product portfolio, customer base and expanding our customer touchpoints across all five business divisions – automotive aftermarket, power tools, security systems, thermotechnology and drive and control technology," he says.
Last year, the company managed to surpass its global growth targets with sales having increased in all business sectors and regions. By the end of 2014, Bosch Middle East had contributed around Dh945 million ($257 million) to the group's global revenue.
Bischoff says the company registered a high sales turnover particularly in the Gulf countries. "In 2014, the UAE was the largest contributor to our sales turnover, followed by Saudi Arabia and Oman," he says.
According to him, the company's strategy focused on innovation has proven successful, and continues to pay off, as Bosch has witnessed a good start to 2015. In the first quarter of this year, the company has seen its global sales grow by roughly 13 per cent (nominal sales growth).
"Opportunities will continue to materialise as the economies of this region prosper and governments invest in new approaches to challenges. We also anticipate a strong local market performance as we develop strategic partnerships that are both healthy and valuable. And we foresee a double-digit growth in 2015 which is mainly supported by the strong economies of the GCC," he adds.
Government initiatives across the region are driving this growth too, with Abu Dhabi (UAE) and Doha (Qatar) exemplifying the importance given to safety and security, by regulating the installation of video surveillance in public areas. "This has clearly contributed to our growth in video systems, as we supplied 40 per cent more cameras in 2014 compared to 2013," he adds.
Commenting on future plans, he says: "At Bosch, we pride ourselves on playing an active role in changing the businesses we operate in, rather than waiting for them to change. Globally, mobility is a key driver of our business and on this path to the future, Bosch is already achieving success, not just technologically but also commercially."
"Locally, we are working hard across several divisions to accelerate the development of new products and services going to market in the UAE. Beyond products, we continue to expand our network of retailers and distributors in the region," he concludes.

Law-making is a collaborative process- and let's make a couple of laws together.
India is changing – and changing fast! Transparency and accountability of governance processes are increasingly seen as the very essential values in our democracy.
Having said that, our legal system still leaves much to be desired. It has not only lagged behind the changing times, it is inefficient and inaccessible for the common Indian man. When one considers the case of the nation of Iceland, where citizens wrote their own constitution through the online wiki software, in India the knowledge and understanding around laws is very basic even amongst the educated.
What kind of laws and policies should govern us has never been a rocket science. It should not be a skill limited to only a few legal experts sitting in the ivory towers - but on the contrary should stem from the people themselves. While we sit with a large pool of techies, creative thinkers and communication experts among other young powerful voices, the process of drafting laws and regulations is still highly archaic and old fashioned. Therefore, there is urgency for the legal system to be looked at through the interdisciplinary lenses, by collaborating with professionals and experts from different walks of life – to simplify the process of creation/destruction of laws.
This two hour workshop would aim at demystifying the process of creating laws – in simpler and easy to understand ways – so as to enable people to initiate the process of drafting laws in their own organizations and society.
Common sense and a mind with ideas! As well as a projector, buttersheets and markers.
Speaker bio
Kanan Dhru's passion for law took her all the way to the London School of Economics. On her return to India, she started Research Foundation for Governance, an organisation that seeks to simplify and codify law for the general public. She regularly works with government departments and elected representatives for drafting of their laws and policies. Her projects have also included making a cartoon-book on laws as well as working with school kids on creating a collaborative understanding on constitution and democracy. She also works as a mediator and believes in the spirit of consensus over argument!

MY friend found a very old tin type album at a garage sale. The people said they *found it in the basement of a house* they had renovated. She got it for a song and is donating it to the local historical society. It is gorgeous and the photos are amazing. Makes me a little sad that no one knows who these people are...

In one of the first cases of its kind resulting from a delay in notifying affected individuals of a data breach, the California Attorney General (the "CA AG") filed a complaint against Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. ("Kaiser") under California's business and profession code section 17200, alleging that Kaiser took too long to notify its employees that their personally identifiable information was compromised as a result of a data breach. The CA AG sought an injunction, civil penalties, and other equitable relief for the violations.
Background facts
On Sept. 24, 2011, an external hard drive was purchased at a thrift store that contained unencrypted names of Kaiser employees, their social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and, for some employees, the personal information of their spouse and children. Kaiser recovered the hard drive on Dec. 21, 2011, and conducted a forensic examination which was completed on Dec. 28, 2011. It was not until March 19, 2012, however, that, pursuant to California's notification law, Kaiser began sending out the required notification letters to individuals whose information had been compromised.
The CA AG alleged that Kaiser did not notify the individuals "in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay." Specifically, the CA AG indicated that Kaiser could have notified affected individuals "as early as December 2011, but did not commence notice until on or about March 19, 2012." Such a delay, the CA AG alleges, violates California Civil Code section 1798.85(a)(1). The CA AG did not agree with the industry standard of notifying affected individuals all at the same time once the affected group is identified. Instead, the CA AG wanted to see a staggered notification which would have required Kaiser to notify affected individuals once they were identified.
The CA AG sought damages against Kaiser in the amount of $2,500 for each violation of California Business and Professions Code. California alleged that there were 20,539 affected individuals, i.e. 20,539 separate violations. The CA AG also sought attorney fees, courts costs, investigation costs, and an injunction that Kaiser be enjoined from committing any acts of unfair competition.
Less than a month after the CA AG filed its complaint, Kaiser and the state entered into a settlement agreement. The settlement required Kaiser to pay $30,000 to the State of California and also to pay $120,000 for legal fees and for the cost of prosecution. Kaiser is also required to take "appropriate actions to resolve [the attorney general's] concerns and continue to protect [its] employees' information." Kaiser further agreed to provide notification for future breaches involving current or former employees' personal data on a "rolling basis," which means Kaiser will begin providing breach notification as soon as reasonably possible after identifying a portion of the total individuals affected by a breach, even if Kaiser's breach investigation is ongoing, and continue to notify individuals as soon as they are identified until Kaiser's breach investigation is completed. Additionally, Kaiser has agreed to review and improve its policies and procedures where "necessary and feasible" regarding encryption of e-mail that contains personally identifiable information. Kaiser also agreed to provide the CA AG with the results of an internal audit regarding access to employees' personally identifiable information.
Many of the 46 state statutes do not have a specific statutory requirement to notify affected individuals within a certain number of days of discovery of the breach. As a result, organizations have used their own discretion to determine the appropriate time to notify affected individuals about a breach. The CA AG is clearly sending a message that waiting for a complete forensic investigation to notify residents of a data breach is in violation of the state's notification statute. Rather, the AG wants notices sent out on a rolling basis, as affected individuals are identified. As has occurred in the past, other states are likely to follow California's lead in aggressively pursuing compliance of their state breach statutes.
How does an organization minimize liability related to investigations and/or lawsuits filed by state attorneys general? Develop and implement proactive measures now. Planning for the inevitable data breach before it happens allows a much more efficient response to the incident, thereby significantly decreasing the potential for fines, attorneys fees, court costs, investigations costs, and injunctions arising out of state and federal audits and investigations.
For more information, please contact one of the attorneys listed below.

Some of us remember the Grateful Dead lyrics to Truckin', "What a long, strange trip it's been…" While my journey through cancer wasn't necessarily a long one in comparison to some, it was a strange trip into areas I had never visited. Chemotherapy, hair loss, purchasing a wig, and feeling exactly what my doctor said when I was diagnosed, "You are standing on a platform and the train is going to pull up and take you for a ride" were all firsts for me. But I am thrilled to say the ride has taken me to a place of being cancer free for over one year now. In November, I had my chemo port removed and have had positive lab reports each month. I am gaining strength and very excited about diving into different projects with the Women's Ministry.
In January we launched our new name, she Ministries, along with our new website http://www.sheabq.org. Our goal is to seek all the many she's in this world. Our motto is "she is me, she is you." Also, knowing that women hold a unique place in God's plan and heart, she Ministries takes inspiration from the virtuous woman extolled in Proverbs 31:
She…does good and not evil all the days of her life, v. 12
She…willingly works with her hands, v. 13
She…brings food from afar, v.14
She…also rises while it is yet night, v. 15
She…girds herself with strength, v. 17
She…stretches out her hands, v. 19
She…extends her hands to the poor, v. 20
She…is not afraid, v. 21
She…opens her mouth with wisdom, v. 26
She…watches over the ways of her household, v. 27
Updates from Lenya was a great place for me to stay in touch with you throughout my cancer treatment and recovery, but as we move into a new season of she, I have a blog built right into the site called Lenya's Corner. I would love for you to visit and keep up with this new chapter in my life.
Thank you for the encouragement, love, and many well wishes you posted on this blog. Your prayers kept our family going throughout this journey designed by the Lord. I couldn't possibly say thank you for each prayer, each card, each gift, each word of kindness, but please know that in my heart and memory, each of you are thanked.
