- Focus on having fun during your shoot- if your goal is to get great shots or you have never done anything like this before, you may feel more nervous or even overwhelmed. It is my job as your photographer to get great shots. The only thing you need to do is trust me, relax, follow directions and BREATHE!!! Enjoy being a woman and being pampered. If you are genuinely having a great time, you will have an extra sparkle in your eye and you will love your images so much more. If you are not relaxed, it will show in your images.
- Visualize- Visualize your shoot ahead of time. Don't focus on your nerves or feeling awkward. Instead picture yourself having a good time, feeling relaxed and looking sexy. If you feel really stressed, please, please do not take any stress relieving drugs like Xanax before you shoot, if you can help it. You don't want to have that spaced out look in your eyes, you want them to sparkle!!!!
- Show up and give it all you've got – If you want to feel sexy during your shoot, you've got to really be into the moment and open. Posing is my job. But posing is only half of it. Confidence will show up in your photos and you have to bring that. Even if you are just faking it. This will be easier if you trust the photographer that you are working with. Also, bringing a friend along to your shoot for moral support is also great. My photo sessions are tailored to your comfort level. You can show as little or as much skin as you would like.
- Remember the context- The sheer fact that you are willing to be in front of the camera being photographed is totally sexy! It's powerful and vulnerable at the same time.
5. Be yourself- Honor who you are, in this moment. The time is now. You are sexy and beautiful just as you are
6. Arrive on time and Don't make plans for right after your session- Leave your day open, make sure you baby sitter is available for more time than you need. Arriving late to your session makes sessions rushed and stressful. And if your session is running overtime, you do not want to be stressed about having to leave because you have made other plans. Your main goal is having fun, so put all other agendas on the back burner.

"At Eberspächer they don`t just talk about values, they live them."
Georg Mentor, Key Account Manager (Sales Heaters)
Eberspächer wants to offer an attractive balance to everyday professional life. This is why we want to bring work, health, fitness and well-being into harmony and to strengthen the feeling of community. You can therefore share not only work with your wonderful colleagues but also sporting fun. A myriad of company sports groups are waiting to welcome you at each location.
In addition to the fitness classes such as fit-mix, pilates, back strengthening, yoga and business qigong in our own sports facilities and, in summer time, walks along the Neckar, Esslingen also boasts company sports clubs for table tennis, aikido, bowling and football, while in Neunkirchen, there are football, tennis, running, cycling and inline skating clubs to offer you a sporting challenge.
Our employees are enthusiastic participants
"I have been attending the fitness classes from the very beginning. Of the courses offered, my favorite is the cardiovascular and strength training class, `fit-mix`. It offers a great counterbalance to work in the office. I think it`s great that Eberspächer offers these classes." H. Christian Seethaler, Test Engineer Development Exhaust Technology, Esslingen
"Our cycling club in Neunkirchen has been on the road since 2001. We started with twelve members and met regularly for training trips and cycling events throughout the region. Now there are around 30 members. Recent highlights include the two cycle meets with our Esslingen colleagues here in Neunkirchen and then in Esslingen, and our training camp in the south of France. This year`s high point was the company championship in the mountain bike marathon. Our two and four-person teams each took first place. In my opinion, being involved in a sport together after work is great fun, keeps you really fit and also gives you the opportunity to really get to know new co-workers." Walter Schulz, Internet Coordinator, Neunkirchen.
"We have been participating in the fitness courses since the very start and have been attending the pilates class on Tuesdays between 4 and 5 p.m. It provides a great counterbalance to sitting down at our desks. Another advantage of having these courses here in-house is the proximity to the workplace, we don`t have to drive to them. We would be delighted if this offer were to be continued."

Section III: Spirit of Unity - Reconcile Your People!
"Through Christ God reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Cor. 5:18).
58. Christians see truth in different ways and yet at the same time are united in the power of the Holy Spirit. Our rich diversity of insights and practices is a gift of the Holy Spirit. Sadly all too often diversity is a cause of division even in the life of the church. Yet as members of the body of Christ we are already united by our common baptism; guided by the Holy Spirit, we are drawn into a koinonia (communion) rooted in the living and receiving life of the Holy Trinity. What we work towards is unity of faith. life and witness. In this process it will be especially important to face up to the divisions which prevent us from sharing the eucharist together, and make it impossible for churches to recognize each other's ministries.
59. Christians are even more deeply divided from people of other faiths and ideologies, even though we share a common humanity and face common challenges and tasks. There are also deep divisions within and between other living faiths and ideologies.
60. From the depth and pain of our divisions we cry "Spirit of unity - reconcile your people". Reconciliation happens when there is honest recognition of the actual sin committed against our neighbour and when practical restitution has been made for it. When costly repentance meets costly forgiveness the Holy Spirit can lead us into community (koinonia).
Christian community, as koinonia in the Spirit
61. In developing perspectives on ecclesiology, in discussing the nature and mission of the church, the idea of koinonia can be most helpful. This is so particularly as we reflect upon the identity of our own church in relation to ecumenical developments such as the text Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry, (BEM), which has received encouraging responses from so many churches. Koinonia in the Holy Spirit is based on sharing in the life of the Trinitarian God and is expressed by sharing life within the community. It becomes possible through reconciliation with God and with one another in the power of the Holy Spirit.
62. Unity and diversity are twin elements in Christian koinonia, but that diversity must have its limits. For example, amidst all diversity the confession must be maintained of Jesus Christ as God and Saviour, the same yesterday, today and forever. And a diversity that divides and excludes, thus destroying the life of the body of Christ, i@ unacceptable.
63. The gospel finds its historical expression in many cultures, which are transformed, renewed and corrected by it. Though national and ethnic identities are legitimate they should not be allowed to impair the unity of the church, or to become masks which shelter un-Christian elements.
64. In reflecting on the relationship between unity and koinonia we find a new vision in the statement entitled "The Unity of the Church as Koinonia: Gift and Calling", which was prepared by the Faith and Order Commission at the invitation in 1987 of the WCC central committee and has been adopted by this assembly.
65. The statement affirms that the purpose of God according to holy scripture is to gather, by the power of the Holy Spirit, the whole of creation under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The church is the foretaste of this God which is promised for the whole creation. It is called to proclaim reconciliation and to provide healing, to overcome divisions based on race, gender, age, culture or colour and to bring all people into communion with God. It is a sad fact that churches have failed to draw the consequences for their own life from the degree of communion which they have already experienced, and from the agreements already achieved through the ecumenical movement.
66. The unity of the church is envisioned as a koinonia (communion) given and expressed in the common confession of the apostolic faith; a common sacramental life entered by the one baptism and celebrated together in one eucharistic fellowship; a common life in which members and ministries are mutually recognized and reconciled-, and a common mission witnessing to the gospel of God's grace to all people and serving the whole of creation. The goal of the search for full communion is realized when all the churches are able to recognize in one another the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church in its fullness. This urges action, for in taking specific steps together the churches express and encourage the enrichment and renewal of Christian life.
67. A true community of women and men is God's gift and promise for humanity, which is created "in God's image" - male and female (Gen. 1:27); and the church, as sign of that which God desires for women and men, is called to embody that community in its own life. Today Christians from many traditions look together for a more complete and authentic community of women and men. We affirm that the domination of women by men does not belong to human community as intended in God's creation (Gen. 1,2) but to the consequences of sin. which distort the community of women and men as well as the relationship between human beings and nature (Gen. 3:16-19). The God who created us as women and men calls us into community. The Christ who identifies with our suffering calls us to become his body. The Spirit who empowers us to witness and serve sends us forth as God's agents, co-workers for a new heaven and a new earth.
Towards a wider ecumenical community
68. Particularly in this century the world has witnessed the rise and growth of movements which emphasize the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit (charisms) or, as they themselves like to put it, "baptism in the Spirit" or "filling with the Spirit". They are not all of the same type but are called charismatic or Pentecostal movements and, in Africa, are sometimes identified with African instituted churches.
69. In their emphases on the charisms of the Spirit described in the New Testament and their rediscovery of the ministry of healing, these movements are valid expressions of Christian faith. If seen as based on a reappropriation of the gifts received in baptism they can be integrated into the life of the churches, bringing them many gifts. They may also represent stronger faith and fellowship, increased spontaneity, openness and freedom among worshippers, all of these leading to greater participation in the life of the churches. There are, however, negative implications for the ecumenical movement if "filling with the Spirit" as a "second experience" after baptism is seen as normative for all Christians. Such teaching may be divisive, as may be an over-emphasis on the Holy Spirit as working independently of the Father and the Son.
70. There is often misunderstanding between Pentecostals and Christians of other traditions. Some Pentecostals have rejected the traditional churches in a desire to enliven their own worship; some have rejected the ecumenical movement as a "human" attempt to produce Christian unity, or because of genuine theological differences about the nature of the Christian faith and its expression in the modem world. But others have sought fellowship with Christians outside their boundaries, particularly with evangelicals. They have begun to take an interest in questions of visible church unity; traditional churches have in turn become more open to the spiritual and theological insights that Pentecostals bring. In Latin America, for example, Pentecostals (now the numerically dominant form of Protestantism in the region) take part in the Latin American Council of Churches. Similar dialogue has been taking place in other areas as well. These hopeful signs bode well for future efforts to bring the churches closer togethe r.
The Christian community in mission
71. A reconciled and renewed creation is the goal of the church's mission. The vision of God uniting all things in Christ (Eph. 1:10) is the driving force of the church's life of sharing, motivating all efforts to overcome economic inequality and social divisions.
72. Whatever our approach to mission at home or abroad, our mission needs to be "in Christ's way". Wholeness of mission demands a will to break down barriers at every level, and involves the whole people of God in sharing, serving and renewal in a spirit of love and respect. Each church acting in mission is acting on behalf of the whole body of Christ. At the same time we affirm local ecumenical endeavours in mission. Always we need to remember our original understanding of mission, which is preaching, teaching and healing. It is best done together, and should never divide, alienate or oppress. Our conviction is not hesitant or partial that Jesus Christ through the action of the Holy Spirit is God's saving presence for all.
73. Since the church's mission is to reconcile all with God and with one another, sharing can be recognized as part of mission in Christ's way. It includes sharing faith, sharing power, sharing material resources. Such sharing encourages reconciliation. We affirm that what we call "ours" is given by God in love, and is given to be shared. At times sharing offers up and receives emptiness and suffering as well as fullness and joy. There can and must be no barriers to sharing, whether giving or receiving. In this spirit we affirm the WCC "Guidelines for Sharing" as an important means towards common mission and service.
74. The gospel of Jesus Christ must become incarnate in every culture. When Christianity enters any culture there is a mutual encounter, involving both the critique of culture by the gospel and the possibility of the culture questioning our understanding of the gospel. Some of the ways in which the gospel has been imposed on particular cultures call for repentance and healing. In each case we need to ask: Is the church creating tension or promoting reconciliation?
The Christian community, in relation to others
75. The Holy Spirit works in ways that surpass human understanding. The Bible testifies to God as sovereign of all nations and peoples. God's love and compassion include everyone. We witness to the truth that salvation is in Christ, but we seek also to remain open to other people's expression of truth as they have experienced it.
76. Today in many parts of the world religion has become a divisive force, with religious language and symbols being used to exacerbate conflicts. Ignorance and intolerance make reconciliation difficult. We seek to live in respect and understanding with people of other living faiths, and to this end we need to build mutual trust and a "culture of dialogue". This begins at the local level as we relate to people of other faiths, and take common action especially in promoting justice and peace. The first step is to come to know and to trust each other, telling our stories of faith and sharing mutual concerns. Both the telling and the hearing of faith are crucial in discerning God's will. Dialogue is an authentic form of Christian witness and ministry. As Christians we affirm the Holy Spirit counselling us to hold fast to the revealed Christ, to keep faith, and to encounter the other's faith.
77. Ideologies may be constructive or destructive; but both types tend to demand absolute loyalty and to ignore the essential ingredient of accountability, thus causing conflict. In recent years this has most strongly affected churches in Marxist-influenced societies. Now we have experienced the collapse of this system; but this is no reason for triumphalism about the free-market system, as we are increasingly confronted with its negative effects throughout the world. We all, as Christians, need to analyze and understand the ideologies under which we live. Some are "hidden" - not openly acknowledged and discussed yet deeply rooted and influential in society. Among these are wealth and achievement-oriented value systems which ignore human and personal factors. The task of the community of faith is to apply prophetic, biblical values to all ideologies.
78. Ideological trends can be found in fundamentalism and nationalism. We must learn to distinguish between fundamentalism as an approach to biblical hermeneutics and fundamentalism (whether Christian or non-Christian) which is an intolerant ideological imperialism, closed to other approaches and realities. Nationalism is positive when it unites people in the struggle for cultural, religious and political self-determination, but it is negative when used to dominate some and to exclude others. It may be even more oppressive when it contains elements that equate faith with a particular nationality.

I often have ideas for essays and stories, and these have occasionally appeared here. Now I've set up a seperate blog for these longer pieces. This blog here is about my life and feelings day to day. The new one will (hopefully) be the place where I can do the intellectual stuff that doesn't really fit here. It's also a more private space.
Here is a small quote from the first entry, on notions of security, simply because it tells you what kind of day I've had:
Today I tried to replace my debit card. I phoned the helpline, who didn't respond. I went to the bank, who told me cards had to be replaced over the phone. So I called the helpline again, who told me I had to go to the bank and 'unlock' my access, before they could do anything.
I called them again, and got my debit card cancelled. I was also told a new card was on it's way, presumably by someone who didn't know about 'unlocking' access.
Five minutes later the university called to say they had my wallet. So I now have it, plus a row of defunct cards.
Met Nick on IRC last night. He had a finished but rough song recorded, and wasn't sure whether to submit it the songfight. I spent the early hours of the morning and afternoon waving my magic production wand over his rough demo, and the result is...a rough demo with a bit of production polish.
I wrote a quick song while we were talking, which he liked. I think it'll need some rewriting, but this is how it looks at the moment:
I can only see my own eyes
By looking into a mirror
I can only hear my own thoughts
In the words of a random stranger
If i knew what i wanted i would have it by now
If i knew where i was going i could figure out how
You can only see your footprints
If you turn around and look behind
You can only understand your own beliefs
By putting them in someone else's mind
If you knew where you came from
You might know who you were
If I were you...
If you knew why you left
Iou might know who you should be
If you were me...
We have very different styles of writing lyrics. Nick's words have the strange poetry that you find in ordinary conversation when dislocated from context. Mine are more didactic and philosophical. But we rather admire each other's work.
Simon M's computer has stopped working! Yet again! Oh deep fucking joy! I'm off the see if I can mend it quickly.

on the activities of the National Institute of Criminology (OKRI) in 2018
(Please find the final results of researches at "Research projects")
Considerable attention was devoted to the utilisation of research results in this reporting period as well. Areas for the utilisation of results include cooperation in the development of theories and the presentation of research results in education – in the further training of trainee prosecutors and junior prosecutors, in university and college education and postgraduate courses – as well as at conferences and other professional events. Our researchers have published in and worked as editors or reviewers for several professional journals. Their active involvement in scientific organisations is also of great importance. Our researchers who expressed their views in the media played a role in informing the public by disseminating our results, approaches and opinions also in the course of the year under review.
1. Presentations
In 2018, researchers from the Institute delivered a total of 111 presentations at various conferences and professional forums. Of these presentations, 18 were delivered in a foreign language and 16 were abroad.
Requests to chair sessions also indicate professional recognition and presume professional skills. In the year of the report, researchers from the Institute were requested to chair sessions on 22 occasions, with 4 out of them at conferences held in foreign languages.
2. Publications
In the current year, researchers published a total of 81 publications, 19 of them in a foreign language. Of the latter, 6 were published abroad.
This year, OKRI's researchers published 17 chapters in books and 4 monographs (books, notes), and were authors of studies published in 31 scientific periodicals and 3 conference publications. In addition, 10 papers were published in publications of the Institute, as well as 8 studies on other platforms (abstract, beyond the website of the institute, other web interfaces etc.), and our colleagues were asked 12 times to edit various professional volumes. It is an increasingly characteristic phenomenon that some parts of professional periodicals are not published in a printed form: they are only available on the world wide web. It is therefore fortunate that researchers from the Institute also exploit the flexible publication opportunities provided by the internet.
3. Involvement in domestic and international professional cooperation and project tenders
3.1. Professional cooperation

6. Media appearances
According to our records, researchers from the Institute featured as experts in printed and electronic media on a total of 44 registered occasions in 2018.
Of which: 2 were in print media,
11 were on the radio,
25 were on a TV channel, and
6 were on the internet.
1. OKRI's domestic relations
The Hungarian relations of the Institute were generally similar to those of previous years. The application of the focus group qualitative research methodology also strengthened our professional relations in the reporting year by virtue of establishing direct working relations with external professional operators.
We continued our professional cooperation with the Institute for Legal Studies at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Centre for Social Sciences (MTA TK JTI), which started back in 2014. In this context, we organised a conference on the 11th of October of the reporting year entitled 'The conceptual goals and the impacts of renewing the system of Hungarian criminal law'.
We also continued the institutional cooperation with the National Judiciary Office entered into in the previous year.
Once again, cooperation was the closest with the Chief Prosecutor's Office and with the prosecution system in general. The prosecution service initiated almost half (42.5%, 17 tasks) of all projects that were in progress during the year. Of the projects in the work plan, nine were initiated by the Chief Prosecutor's Office and eight by county prosecutor's offices, and one research project was completed within the framework of a cooperation. Beyond the research completed as part of and in addition to the schedule, seven additional tasks were completed on the basis of requests made by the Chief Prosecutor's Office.
Our researchers traditionally participate in the work of higher education institutions; many of them hold university positions.
In 2018, researchers participated in domestic conferences, round table or professional discussions, on 95 occasions where they delivered presentations on special request, and on a further 130 occasions where they attended domestic and foreign conferences without delivering a presentation.
2. OKRI's international relations
International relations play an important role in the life of research institutes. International relations provide researchers with feedback, and it also helps to evaluate OKRI's research activities, considering that invitations to take part in international projects, joint applications, or offers to publish in renowned international professional magazines all imply that the international scientific community continuously evaluates OKRI's research activities and professional accomplishments.
In the reporting year, our researchers delivered a total of 111 presentations at various conferences and events, of which 16 were delivered at conferences, workshops or meetings of experts held abroad. Attendance at these conferences was funded in part by the Chief Prosecutor's Office, and in part by researchers from grants and other funds, and the inviting parties also contributed to the costs.
The Institute is a research centre with traditionally good international relations. One of the Institute's oldest and best functioning relations is with the Max Planck Institute of Freiburg, with which the exchange of experience and information and the organisation of joint conferences have been ongoing for decades. In addition, the MPI has received OKRI researchers as grant holders on several occasions. In the reporting year, one researcher of the Institute was awarded a research grant to the MPI.
In the reporting year, upon the invitation of the Court of Justice of the European Union, one of our researchers attended a two-day training programme of the European Judicial Training Network (EJTN) in Madrid, and two of our researchers spent three days in Rome upon the invitation of the Italian Police Headquarters in charge of the protection of cultural goods (Comando Carabinieri per la Tutela del Patrimonio Culturale).
In accordance with the agreement entered into by the Balkan Criminology Network – founded in 2013 as a partner group of the Max Planck Institute of Freiburg – and our Institute in 2017, within the framework of the Balkan Homicide Study we analysed case files this year, using the standard questionnaire created by the researchers of the project manager, the University of Zagreb. Thus, we processed a total of 613 criminal case files that contained the felony of murder. We recorded the data in the software specified by the principal researchers, then we sent the finished database to the research leaders. The comparison of the international research results will be carried out by the researchers of the University of Zagreb in 2019.
Our international relations are strengthened by the presence of our foreign colleagues who visit us or give lectures or conduct research at the Institute.
Robin A. Robinson, professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth conducted research in Hungary in 2017-2018 into violent sexual crimes, funded by a Fulbright scholar award. As a part of this, she gave a lecture with researcher Katalin Parti at the National Institute of Criminology in October 2018.
In May, Robert Meadows, the lecturer of the California Lutheran University gave a lecture in the Institute at the invitation of one of our researchers.
On 14 September 2018, within the framework of the Chinese-Hungarian cooperation, the Institute was visited by a delegation led by Prof. Ye Qing from the East China University. The members of the delegation who participated in the roundtable talks were Prof. Ye Qing, Prof. He Ping, Prof. Wang Jian, Dr Xia Fei, Dr Wang Xiaohua and Dr Li Feng. From Hungary, the leaders of OKRI and other leaders delegated by the prosecution service attended the programme.
In the context of international relations, the staff of the Institute participated in the following forums:
– Constitutional, Statutory and Criminological Attributes for Crime Victims
23 February, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia

The library stocks consists of 9,357 inventory units.
In 2018, 103 new books were added to the library. Gifts and exchanging books are important sources for enlarging our collection: our Institute received 35 books in this manner during the year in question. 14 of the new books are foreign publications in English and German.
We consider it important to maintain good relations with libraries collecting books from similar sources. Our exchange partners are the following: the libraries of the Max Planck Institute of Freiburg, Pázmány Péter Catholic University, the University of Miskolc, the Curia, the Faculty of Law Enforcement of the National University of Public Service and the Institute for Sociology of the Centre for Social Sciences of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. We continue to mutually support each other with the libraries of the Chief Prosecutor's Office, the Budapest Chief Prosecutor's Office, the Office of the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights, the Hungarian Research Institute for Forensic Sciences, the Curia and the Faculty of Law Enforcement of the National University of Public Service.
We continue to have a good relationship with the Library of the Hungarian Parliament, from where we regularly receive the articles and studies relating to our research topics from the database of HeinOnline. We have used the Library's interlibrary services on several occasions this year.
The Hungarian Rules of Law in Force were also available in the reporting period. It contains approximately 350 pieces of legislation, the operative parts of 120 decisions of the Supreme Court, 100 opinions of the Supreme Court and short summaries of 120 decisions of the Competition Council in three languages, as well as international conventions in English.
At present, the library subscribes to the following international periodicals:
• The British Journal of Criminology
• European Journal of Criminology
• Kriminalistik
• Kriminologisches Journal
• Monatsschrift für Kriminologie und Strafrechtsreform

Our website, which was updated last year to meet the challenges of accessibility through various data media, provides information on a wide range of topics, including the following:
• reports published on wide-ranging operations at the Institute;
• information provided on an ongoing basis on current domestic and international events;
• each of our researchers has an individual personalised interface where they can update their particulars, post their studies, and disclose other information;
• our publications promoted in a special section;
• insights provided into the life of the Institute; news is supplemented with photos of memorable events;
• with key data we assist in producing more specific searches, as well as enhancing hits through international search engines;
• the English version of the homepage that assists foreigners in browsing;
• both in Hungary and internationally, in partnership with partner sites, there are more and more external links to the website of our Institute, therefore we also publish website access to many organisations and institutions in the "Useful links" section.
Following the updates, the renewed website is user-friendly, informative and its appearance is worthy of a European level research institute.

What can alternative legal service providers do for your in-house career?
Eleven years since the Legal Services Act shook up the legal profession in the UK, the new providers are not so new any more. Instead we're increasingly talking about the new normal. Alternative Legal Service Providers of many flavours have established and flourished to a degree that's changed the landscape of the legal industry in the UK. When we founded Halebury ten years ago, we talked about the NewLaw market, but the learnings, innovation and progress that we've seen as lawyers since then have given rise to a smarter, flexible legal profession that's ready to look forward into the future.
For lawyers looking to try a new way of working, the arrival of new models in legal means more choice, and a chance to find the role that is the right fit. For some, an umbrella model where you can grow your own practice offers the right balance. Others feel that the recruitment agency model gives maximum flexibility. The key point is that lawyers – at all stages of their careers – no longer have to choose between the private practice partner-track on the one hand, and the search for a corporate in-house role on the other. There are almost as many career styles in legal as there are lawyers to enjoy them.
A great deal of the conversation within the NewLaw space to date has been about agile or flexible working. Yes, agile/flexible work is important, but look beyond the hours you work per day or per week. Flexibility means more than that. For us, being flexible means empowering lawyers to pursue the kind of work they want, in the sectors and industries that interest them. It means being in control of your income, rather than aiming at arbitrary targets and a fixed, remote approach to remuneration.
If you are a lawyer considering your next move, it goes without saying that you should do your research and know the full range of choices available. But you should also look at what you are looking to achieve for your career over the long term. Of course it is important just to have a project to work towards, and income coming in. But what is your long-term plan and which organization is best placed to help you achieve it?
As part of our recruitment process at Halebury, we look at what a lawyer is aiming to achieve, past the first couple of projects and for the long term. We only take on lawyers we know we can support in these goals, because we believe it is important to deliver on this for our team. No two team members have the same career, and we provide support that is tailor-made for each team member, based on their role in our specialized team. Our ambitious growth plan does not alter that goal: although we are expanding rapidly, our focus is on keeping our team to a boutique size, so that we can maintain personalized support as the team's careers progress.
It is also important to look at the company's proposition, as even though you might not be an employee, you will be firmly associated with the brand. Do you like the way the company is seen in the marketplace? Do you like the way it engages and supports clients? Do you want to work with other members of the legal team? Will you work in an environment where your peers support you? Overall, does the company embody you and your values? Does it reflect your reputation you have worked so hard to achieve? Do not take these questions lightly, even regarding a consultant role. These questions will define your career and the choices you make to achieve it.
At Halebury, we are proud of our journey, and the journey the industry has taken in parallel. As senior in-house lawyers, we have shown that you can have the career you want, and you do not have to sacrifice income to do it. In fact, with the right team and support structure, the professional and personal rewards can be even greater. We are always looking for people ready to join us in doing things differently. If that sounds like you, then please check out our current roles, or join us soon at an event. NewLaw may not be as 'new' as it was ten years ago, but the flexibility and control it can offer might give your career the boost you are searching for.

Houston scored 57 runs in their six games against the Twins last season, but in their first two contests of 2018 have been held to just three runs. The Astros lineup looks very similar to last season. The Twins pitching staff? Not so much.
Odorizzi had some kind of magic working tonight. The Astros had two men on with one out in the first, but Odorizzi coaxed an inning-ending double play. He walked the leadoff man in the second. Unfortunately, he didn't have any spells to ward off a haunting. That ended up being the lone runner who scored for Houston.
Odorizzi walked two men in a scoreless third, but his most impressive wizardry came in the fifth inning. Alex Bregman hit a leadoff single, but he was soon picked off. Jose Altuve followed with a single himself, but Carlos Correa hit into an inning-ending double play.
Odorizzi capped off the night with a 1-2-3 sixth. He walked five men, continuing a troubling trend for the Twins, but held the defending champs to one run on five hits over six frames.
Neither Odorizzi nor Lance Lynn necessarily looked great against the Astros, but they showed what established, professional pitchers can do: Go to work even without their best command or stuff.
Speaking of work, Twins hitters put Dallas Keuchel to task. He threw 101 pitches over just four innings. Minnesota scratched across a couple of runs in the first inning thanks to an Eduardo Escobar sac fly and a Robbie Grossman double.
Joe Mauer drew a bases loaded walk in the second, but from there the Twins struggled to deliver with men on base.
Brian Dozier reached safely in all five of his plate appearances (1-for-1 with four walks) and Mauer was on base in four of his five PAs (2-for-3 with a pair of walks). The thing that kept the Twins from really blowing this one open was that Miguel Sano went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts and left 10 men on base.
Fortunately, Odorizzi was tough as nails and the bullpen turned in another great outing. Ryan Pressly, Zach Duke and Fernando Rodney each pitched a scoreless inning to help lift the Twins to an impressive win.

BOULDER, Colo. -- The Center for ReSource Conservation is making it easy for home and business owners to buy building material at a cheaper price.
ReSource Boulder, located on 6400 Arapahoe Road, sells gently used, donor-sourced construction and building materials.
"A lot of of what we're doing is actually preventing materials from ending up in the landfill and we're re-purposing them instead," said Emily Trostel, Center for ReSource Conservation operations manager. "It's all architectural goods: cabinets, doors, lighting, windows, hardware, tile and landscaping."
The social enterprise non-profit group is currently seeking donations to help homeowners repair leaky home exteriors. Drain spouts, lumber, landscaping materials and other products are in high demand.
"After the flood I know a lot of people have come through and have actually donated items," said Trostel. "They were repairing their homes after the flood. They had left over materials and they have come in and redonated. They're all lifelong customers now."
By creating a second life for architectural materials, the ReSource community diverted four million pounds of waste from landfills in 2013.
"It's a shame to throw this stuff away," said Andy Clark, Moxie Bread Company owner. "To see anything in a landfill that can be reused is a crime."
Clark is in the process of opening his first bakery shop in downtown Louisville in a few weeks. He bought half of the building material and other products at ReSource.
"Out of my budget to build the bakery, I've probably saved 30 to 40 thousand dollars in lumber, structural items and fixtures," Clark said.

text: So I'm killing some time reading some international basketball forums and I came across this kid. Apparently he is the talk of the entire nation because Philippines is basketball crazy and he's the first legit seven footer at only 15 years old and is dominating youth competitions apparently, but when you are 7 foot 15-year-old and Asian you should be. LOL He's very athletic and agile and his body is almost identical to Zach Collins. Apparently he's been training in Vegas the past two summers but has yet to come over for time and finish his last two years of high school in the states. There is a little blurb about Gonzaga on page 28 of the thread about him but nothing else. And the videos it's hard to glean anything because just like Ruis videos he is so much bigger than everyone else on the court. Anyway I just thought it was worth mentioning because Tommy is world-famous for scouring entire globe for international talent and this kid seems to be the next pics information, plus he speaks English in the Philippines is the largest Catholic country in the world.

It is the end of our stay in Vietnam. The day is spent trying out the hotel's steam bath and generally wandering around Saigon.
Saigon's streets are fun and easy to walk on, even when occasionally encroached by food stalls and motorbikes in peak hours. They run in a grid like system and the crossings are well marked, so one can never really get lost.
We cross another museum, and catch a glimpse of more US military hardware parked outside, faint echoes of the Vietnam war.
Lunch is at a cafe where the traveller savours Com Tam or broken rice with pork.
We then reach Saigon Square 1, a mall full of stores selling "branded" wear at seemingly unbelievable prices (to the naive Western traveller, that is). The traveller's compadre then proceeds to shop, stopping only when we run out of currency.
Returning to our hotel in the evening, we pick up some Cider from a 7 eleven, something the traveller had never tried before. It has an interesting flavour to it, and it reminds him of the city of Saigon.

Aw Darn
Tennessee Woman Drops Lawsuit Over Jackson's Breast-Baring Stunt During Super Bowl Halftime Show
reprinted in its entirety because ATT/AP don't provide permanent links
Less than a week after filing a class-action lawsuit because of her outrage over Janet Jackson's Super Bowl stunt, Terri Carlin believes she's made her point.
The Knoxville banker is withdrawing the suit filed last Wednesday in U.S. District Court against Jackson and Justin Timberlake, along with MTV, CBS and their parent company, Viacom.
I believe she is actually a bank teller. 'Banker' sounds so high-falutin', doesn't it?
The lawsuit had sought billions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.
it sought reimbursement of that portion of the cable bill wasted in watching the super bowl, times the number of watchers.
Carlin alleged that she and others who watched the show during the Super Bowl were injured by the performers' lewd actions when Timberlake tore off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast.
The notice of dismissal filed in federal court says Carlin wants to see if "remedial measures" announced by federal regulators and the companies involved succeed in preventing similar stunts.
so does that mean she can re-file if it happens again? Ya wanna bet, CBS & co. are too stupid to realize it wasn't just the breast? The boob was only the last straw; the culmination of a long list of grievances.
Carlin and attorney Wayne A. Ritchie II, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of Carlin and has represented her for free, have received phone calls and mail from hundreds of supportive parents from across the country who wanted to be included in the suit, the notice states.
In the lawsuit filed on behalf of "all Americans," Carlin charged that Jackson's exposure and "sexually explicit conduct" by other performers during the halftime show injured viewers.
Jackson apologized for the incident, saying a red lace garment was supposed to remain over her breast when an outer garment was ripped away.
so does that mean I can stick a knife in Timberlake, and as long as I apolgize later, it's ok? no, didn't think so.

So does this mean we all resign ourselves to living in a garbage dump? Will ANYBODY out there actually turn off CBS, walk away from Viacom, cancel AOL, boycott football? anybody? yoo hoo?
Update: Yay! Scott Ott is running with Boycott MTV. It's hard, I can't boycott what I never bought, but I am glad this is up and running. I wish it success!
Remember the little puppy I found, crying and alone next to the crushed body of her Mom? Remember how she was so heartbroken that she would just sit still ...

Do my colleagues in India get Maatu Pongal off?
Probably not.
Maatu Pongal is the third of the four days of Pongal (first day - Bhogi, second day - Thai, third day - Maatu, and the fourth day - Kaanum). The second day is typically the day that is the main holiday (check your company's official holiday listing), colleagues with children may take off more days as children (and government employees) tend to have leave on all four Pongal days. And, in some cases, when Pongal falls on particular weekdays, the government may issue a notice allowing more days off to aid in families traveling to their native place for Pongal, as is the case in 2019. Read more here.
What is Maatu Pongal and How is it Celebrated?
The third day of Pongal is called Maatu Pongal, maatu means cattle. This day is devoted to paying homage to cattle. This day is alternatively termed as Uzhavar Thirunal in pure Tamil. Uzhavar Thirunal translated from Tamil to English means auspicious (thiru) day (nal) for farmers (uzhavar).

Do Hindus eat beef, drink milk or use leather?
All Indians do not worship cows. Only Hindus revere the bovine in the way described above. While respecting the cow and bull are done by Hindus, not all Hindus are vegetarians. While vegetarianism is observed on most holidays (such as Pongal) and during most family functions (like weddings) by Hindus, many more Hindus are non-vegetarian meat eaters than foreigners may believe. While most vegetarians do not eat cow or bull meat, in select parts of India, some do eat buffalo, such as in Kerala, where beef fry is quite common. Many foreigners, especially Westerners may be surprised to hear that, but may also be surprised to know that even those Indian vegetarians that do not eat bovine, most likely will drink milk and eat milk products like butter, yogurt or cheese (Indian cheese is called paneer. Additionally, many Hindus may use leather products like leather belts, purses and wallets. If you are unsure, don't hesitate to ask your Indian client if leather products are acceptable. And, while most Indian Hindus are vegetarians, most will not mind others eating non-vegetarian during business meals. Again, if in doubt, don't hesitate to ask.

Decoding Cognac Labels for National Cognac Day
Cognac lives somewhere between Wine and Spirit. The core component is called eau-de-vie and is made from double-distilled wine that hails from southwestern France (near the village of Cognac). That is then aged in oak barrels to get to the drink we call Cognac. The amount of aging time is directly related to the quality of the drink.
But... How do you enjoy Cognac right? Annnd... What the heck do all of those fancy labels mean? Swizl is happy to help you decode them and enjoy each grade of this French beauty correctly.
This is the least mature Cognac classification. It's aged at least 2 years. This is perfect for use in your fave simple Cognac cocktails like The Sidecar or Roosevelt Punch. Sure it's tasty, but not one you're typically going to enjoy on its own.
We've moved up to a minimum aging of 4 years at this level. Again, it's good in cocktails like The French 75 or The Sazerac that call for a slightly higher quality Cognac, but this one can be enjoyed alone as well.
XO is very nice Cognac, resting for at least 10 years. These are usually enjoyed neat or over ice. You're looking at between $150 and $200 a bottle for some of the finer examples at this level.
After XO, you're in the big time. These are precious Cognacs and can be very, very valuable, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per bottle. Aging for the more expensive versions can range between 40 and 140 years. Many feature specialty bottles with some rare examples even clad in 24 karat gold and diamond chips. Now, that's swag!

"Your mammogram has some areas of concern." There it is; the sentence no woman wants to hear. You are then told to schedule more mammograms and then an ultrasound. If you are lucky they tell you that you are fine, it was just a cyst, or a very fibrous area and you are relieved. I you are not so lucky, they tell you that you must come back in for a breast biopsy. This whole set of procedures are terribly uncomfortable and disconcerting for most people.
Many thoughts will go through your head, mostly of the disastrous and tragic variety. Even the most fearless of us, the most optimistic will have some fear. Next an appointment with a surgeon is made. We go and fill out another set of papers that look suspiciously like the last set of papers we filled out for the initial mammogram, and then more for the second mammogram and ultrasound. By now we are so familiar with our own medical history we are dreaming it at night and really getting somewhat desensitized to the whole affair.
Finally, arriving at the hospital 45 minutes prior to the procedure and talking to my surgeon, a fresh faced, smiling doctor who I think looks like she's about 17 years old. The biopsy takes about half an hour and is very uncomfortable, followed by the nurse binding my entire chest with an ace bandage that feels like an elephant sitting on my diaphragm rendering me breathless. Nonetheless, I am relieved and happy that this is over and I can go home.
Post biopsy is the hardest time for most women. Now is when you wait. You wait for the call from your doctor. You wait for the news that will impact your life, one way or another. Here is what I did, and I hope it helps some women to find a way to stay sane and in the present moment. I am not particularly a "pre-worrier" about things that have not happened yet. So, on the day of the biopsy, my friends came to my house for our usual Friday "Happy Hour." I spent several hours laughing and feeling all of my friends love and support. I feel intensely grateful for these amazing, fearless women who have traveled on this life journey with me for over twenty years. I remember the last lunch escapade we had together, we played a game of coming up with one word that described each of us. I recall that the word my friends came up with for me was "fierce." I feel at the deepest part of me that this is true. I have many qualities; some I love and others I strive to transform. But my fierceness, I embrace and hold near to me now. I know that whatever unfolds in my life, that I am loved, I am safe, and I am fiercely strong.
I work with women in my holistic health practice, and I feel qualified to say, that inside every woman……….again……EVERY WOMAN………. there is a core of strength that is inviolate.
Inviolate – Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus
untouchable, inviolable, safe from harm; untouched, undamaged, unhurt, unharmed, unscathed; unspoiled, unflawed, unsullied, unstained, undefiled, unprofaned, perfect, pristine, pure; intact, unbroken, whole, entire, complete.
Enough said.

In my last post I shared some of my favourite quotes by one of my favourite authors: Roald Dahl. My other favourite author, as mentioned before, is Jane Austen so I thought it would be fun to follow up with some of my favourite quotes of hers.
These words remind me that actions more often than not do speak louder than words.
I always think of people suffering in silence when I read this and it makes me want to be sensitive to whether somebody may need support even if they don't verbalise it.
All this one is missing is a couple of finger snaps! I love the strength on display!
As I said above the strength on display is so inspiring in these words.
I wasn't sure I would find any Jane Austen quotes that would be relevant now. She passed away in 1817 after all. How wrong I was! It was actually really difficult to narrow down to the four that I have included here, but they show how her words have a place in society today, just as they did when she was alive and penning them. Please feel free to comment on this post, perhaps you have other Jane Austen quotes you would like to share?
Until the next time…Jess x
