Surviving college is a rite of passage for many young adults. Perhaps your child is making this all-important transition into adulthood this fall at Yale, the University of New Haven, Quinnipiac University or any of Connecticut's other public and private institutions of higher learning.
Premises liability claim filed against hospital after fall
Property owners and business operators have a duty to ensure that their premises remain safe for visitors and patrons. If dangerous conditions do exist, they should be attended to as soon as possible and warnings of the hazards should be present to lessen the risk of accidents. When these precautions are not taken, individuals could suffer serious injuries, and premises liability claims could result.
Connecticut crash claims life, puts others' lives in danger
Car accidents are serious events, even if the incident is minor overall. In any type of collision, individuals can feel shaken and overwhelmed by the possibilities of what could have happened. Unfortunately, some of the most tragic possibilities do take place when a crash proves particularly severe.
Medical malpractice claim filed after drill tip left in boy's leg
Any Connecticut parent feels apprehensive when a child must undergo a serious medical procedure. Of course, children are not immune to suffering illness or injury, and in some cases, they may need surgery to address an issue. Though everyone hopes for the best outcomes, mistakes can take place that could lead to medical malpractice claims.

KLAMATH, Calif. (AP) Two inmates who walked away from a minimum security facility in far Northern California were detained less than 24 hours later, authorities said Wednesday.
Eddy Edwards, 47, of Glenn County and Brian Schueren, 27, of Orange County were last seen Tuesday night in their housing unit at a minimum security camp, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said.
They were part of an inmate firefighting crew based at Alder Conservation Camp near Klamath, a coastal community an hour's drive from the Oregon border.
Edwards was taken into custody Wednesday morning. He was serving a six-year sentence for making criminal threats and drunken driving.
Hours later, officials detained Schueren, who was serving four years following a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon.
Both were arrested without incident near the camp where they were assigned as firefighters along with another 100 minimum-custody inmates, the department said.
They were being taken to a state prison in Susanville and were no longer eligible to serve their sentences at the camp, it said.

Your boss could use your smartwatch to check your productivity levels
YOUR employer could soon use your smartwatch to check how hard you are working. An artificially intelligent algorithm predicts whether someone has high or low workplace performance based on data from their electronic devices. However, there are concerns about how such an algorithm could be used.
Andrew Campbell at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and colleagues compared 554 people's performance at work with data from their smartphones, fitness-monitoring wristbands and location trackers. They monitored when people were at their desk, as well as data on sleep, heart rate and …

Social and cognitive factors in the historical elaboration of writing
David Barton and Mary Hamilton
Writing originated separately in Mesopotamia and Egypt, China, pre-Columbian America, and, possibly, the Indus Valley. The earliest evidence of writing is cuneiform script from Mesopotamia at c.3500 BC. Six earlier classes of visual representation contributed to the development of writing-systems: the expressive and ritualistic markings found in cave art; tallying devices; property markings and totems; tokens; mnemonic devices; and pictographic/ideographic narrative forms. Early writing-systems were used for political and economic, religious, and historical-literary functions. There is no single order of functional development that applies to all cultures.
Writing-systems are classified into three types: logographic systems, which represent morphemes; syllabic systems, which represent syllables; and alphabetic systems, which represent units more closely related to phonemes than to syllables. Writing-systems tend to develop from the logographic to the syllabic, though this is not always the case. As syllabic systems interact with the structure of the spoken language they are trying to capture they adapt themselves through a variety of devices. This historical elaboration is not well served by considering it to be an evolutionary sequence, as has often been claimed.
Strong claims that literacy per se qualitatively affects cognitive abilities are not well supported by evidence. Literacy is better seen as a communicative technology involved in the production and reproduction of shared meaning or knowledge. It is the social practices sustaining these meanings that determine the consequent skills associated with literacy. Arguments that credit literacy as a prime causal factor underlying social change are thus oversimplistic. Rather, literacy is just one factor in a nexus which includes social and political institutions.
Printing led to a restructuring of literate activities through
the incorporation of a technical invention into the social
organization and production of knowledge. Printing assists in
the cultural diffusion of ideas, and in the standardization of
knowledge and linguistic forms. However, social factors again
play a role in determining access to literacy, and thus the
extent to which printing can act as an agent in the diffusion
of literacy [Eds].

Office of Student Assignment and Zoning
Magnet Program Information
The application window for all magnet programs for the 2020-2021 school year will open January 7, 2020 at 9:00 a.m.
School Choice/Controlled Open Enrollment - 2020-21 School Year
The timeline for School Choice/Controlled Open Enrollment has changed. The application window will be opening soon.
Please check back on this website for updated information.
Request for Assignment Exception
Due to school closures, we are not accepting Requests for Assignment Exceptions (Zoning Exceptions) for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. When school resumes on our campuses, we will consider if applications will be available to finish the year.
The application process for Requests for Assignment Exceptions for the 2020-2021 school year will open later in April 2020. The process will be an on-line application.
Please check back on this website for updated information.
Welcome to our schools!
The Office of Student Assignment assigns school to property parcels based on geographic location within the county. Each parcel is assigned to an elementary, middle and high school. These are referred to as zoned schools. Students residing on a given property must attend the school to which the property is assigned.
Parents may apply to have their students attend schools other than their zoned schools. This is managed through the school choice/controlled open enrollment process, offered each spring for the following school year. Any school choice applications received after the deadline are placed at the bottom of the waiting list and processed only as time permits.
Parents who miss the school choice window or experience unforeseen circumstances may apply for a zoning exception based on specific hardship criteria. The form for applying can be downloaded by clicking on the link entitled Request for Assignment Exception. Requests not based on hardship reasons are to be treated as a request for school choice/controlled open enrollment. Zoning exceptions are granted for a single school year and must be renewed annually. Exceptions can be revoked at any time for student disciplinary problems, excessive absences or tardiness.
New residents please contact the District's Zoning Office at (352) 955-7700 to verify school attendance zone information.

Article provided by: Hailey Import Service
If you are a Subaru enthusiast, you know very well that maintaining and repairing vehicles from their line requires expertise and particular knowledge. This is exactly what we possess at Hailey Import Service considering our decades of experience providing comprehensive Subaru service in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Our team of seasoned technicians specializes in preventive maintenance and repair of vehicles under the Subaru and Volvo brands as both lines built a reputation founded on values similar to ours -- excellence and reliability.
Why Should You Get Your Subaru Car Serviced by Professionals?
Given the number of tutorials and do-it-yourself articles about car maintenance on the web, it is not surprising that many car owners are "playing mechanic" and ditching professional services. Unless you have the training and technical knowledge on car maintenance and repair, particularly a high-end brand like Subaru, attempting to service your car on your own can lead to disaster.
Here are some of the reasons why you should get your Subaru car serviced by professionals like us at Hailey:
- Reading about maintaining or repairing your car is different from actual execution as you need skills, hands-on experience, technical know-how, and even the right tools and equipment to carry out the different services correctly.
- Fixing a mistake you have committed while trying to service your car on your own can be more costly than sending your vehicle straight for preventive maintenance to professionals like us.
- Servicing car brands like Subaru require expert knowledge that even common mechanics do not possess, how much more an ordinary car owner like you?
What are the Things You Need to Remember When Sending Your Subaru for Service?
Sending your Subaru for servicing can be an extremely gratifying experience if you know how to go through the process. Here are important points you need to remember to get the most out of your visit:
- Avoid telling the mechanic what to do. Keep in mind that you are sending your car to experts. Instead of offering solutions, simply explain the situation in detail so that the technician can understand the problem and come up with the best solution to address it.
- Tell the mechanic what you want to be checked. Do not expect that every component of your car will be inspected and tested during servicing. If there is a specific part of your car that you are concerned about, make sure that you convey this to the technician so that he can check it thoroughly.
- Ask for a quotation. Before you let the shop start working on your car, it is best that you ask for a price quotation so that you would know if it is within your budget. If the quote is higher than you expected, you can tell the service advisor your concern so he can offer you a more suitable deal.
If you are planning on sending your precious Subaru for preventive maintenance or repair, make sure that you choose a professional automotive shop that knows and loves the brand as you do like us at Hailey Import Service. Our remarkable Subaru service in Greensboro is backed by our four decades of automotive experience. Call us today to learn what we can do for you.Subaru Service Greensboro

Here's the soup recipe I promised...
Here's the soup recipe I promised... (post #25436)
This is a pureed soup. it has few ingreds. so it's fast. Good if you have a cold (good ingreds.) or for every day fare, yet looks kind of elegant served in the right dish, so good for company. Plus, everyone seems to like it. I would have thought only adults would, but my 10 year old niece devoured it one Thanksgiving - was supposed to be a little appetite whetter, but she kept asking for more. Good if you're restricting cream too, because it's creamy, but has no cream. Comes out different every time - different carrots, different broth, etc. but always good. And always better the next day. I usually double the recipe.
4 servings
3 Tbl. butter; 1 Lb. carrots, peeled and diced; 1 small onion, chopped; 1 medium sized potato, peeled and diced; 1/2 tsp. salt (I don't usually add this - do it later to taste); freshly ground black pepper; 1/2 tsp. sugar; 3 cups broth; 1 Tbl.chopped parsley; 1 Tbl. chopped chervil or marjoram
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, add the carrots, onion, and potato. Season w/ the salt (use judgement how much depending on your broth) pepper, and sugar. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 min. Add the broth, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for another 15 min. Puree the soup in a blender or force it through a sieve. Serve the soup hot, garnishing each serving w/ some of the chopped herbs.
NOTES: Original recipe calls for beef broth, but I use chicken or vegetable. I've made it with all butter, half butter, half E.V. olive oil, all olive oil, & less fat than it says. I've made it with and without the sugar. And I rarely have the fresh herbs on hand, so it's fine without them. Hard to go wrong. Just don't use the salt if you're in a pinch, and are using bouillon cubes. Swanson's low sodium broth is fine. Homemade or your own favorite better? Experiment. If it's too thick for you, add more broth. Hope you enjoy.
(post #25436, reply #1 of 9)
Thanks Nancy---I'll try it soon. I can see using it as a base and adding other diced veggies too.
(post #25436, reply #2 of 9)
If you mean adding diced vegies to the soup once it's pureed, I don't think you'd care for that(?) If you mean adding them along w/ everything else or instead of some of it, that would probably be fine, but you might want to try as is first & see what you think.
Have you ever run across a winter squash soup recipe that has layers of flavors in it? I had some once at a restaurant long ago, and would love to make something similar at home. I don't know if it was a variety of squashes, or the spices, or if there was apple,or if they roasted the squashes, but SOMETHING made it stand out above the ordinary. it looked plain orange like any pureed winter squash soup, but it had a very special flavor. Any ideas?
(post #25436, reply #3 of 9)
I was thinking more along the lines of other winter root vegetables e.g. parsnips or rutabaga. I'm just awful aren't I--while I'm reading a recipe I'm already thinking of ways to embellish it. My DH thinks it is impossible for me to make something the same way twice and he might be right!
(post #25436, reply #4 of 9)
I make a similar soup with acorn squash and I add some "natural" peanut butter (not Skippy or Jif). I think it may work with your carrot puree as well. Also, try some mild curry powder. That may be interesting as well.
(post #25436, reply #5 of 9)
Grace, thanks for the peanut butter suggestion. I'll try it in a Squash Soup. After I posted my request, I also found some good sounding Squash Soup recipes in the copycat site. That's a great site!
(post #25436, reply #6 of 9)
From "thinking of ways", and "embellishing" comes great new dishes! Have fun, either way!
(post #25436, reply #7 of 9)
I made a winter squash soup that I added GINGER to. It was wonderful & I shall grab the recipe at lunch to post this afternoon. It had a wonderful flavour & I also beleave I added sour cream to it as a garnish- will have to check.
(post #25436, reply #8 of 9)
Spicy Butternut Squash Soup
7-8 cups chunks peeled butternut squash - 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (I used chicken) - 1 large onion, chopped - 1 tbsp mild curry powder - 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger- 1/2 tsp ground coriander - thin slices lemon for garnish
So easy- combine everything 'cept lemon, boil, reduce heat, cover, simmer 40 minutes. Puree in blender or processor til smooth. Ladle into bowls, garnish w/lemon!
This is soooo tasty!!!
(post #25436, reply #9 of 9)
That sounds great, Adele. Thanks so much.

The story of The Fumblebuckers began on a farm deep within the bowels of Macon County TN during a party celebrating the 2016 spring equinox. It all happened as two unsuspecting old friends and bandmates from Kansas, named Colter Keck and Alan Benest, serendipitously crossed paths with Tennessee's own Charlie South. It was "love at first strum" as they linked up and epic jams were instantly birthed from their instruments. They spent the entire weekend playing together and quickly became aware that something new and wonderful had been born. They had become…The Fumblebuckers.
Now the story continues, as they have spent the last year practically inseparable, crafting their own unique blend of traditional/progressive/indie bluegrass with autobiographical tales of woe, tragedy and longing (as well as a liberal helping of autobiographical laughs thrown in as well). They have been working hard writing, recording, refining their harmonies and becoming The Fumblebuckers that they are today. Primed for the stage and ready to take their music on the road to charm and amuse the masses wherever they can grab an ear. Inviting people the world over to join them as they Fumblebuck their way through Tennessee and beyond with their 11 track self-produced debut album, "Hungover and Layin' Around" (released June 2017) in hand!

Happy distribution announcement season! So far 8 MLPs and 1 GP have announced their distributions for the 1st quarter 2012. 6 out of 8 MLPs increased distributions, with average distribution growth of 2.3% quarter over quarter. All of that equity and capex from last year should start to bear fruit in the next few quarters, and lead to a strong year of distribution growth overall. As that growth becomes more evident, I expect MLPs to narrow the very wide performance gap between the MLP Index and S&P 500. This week may have been the start of that comeback by MLPs. MLPs were down ONLY 1.1% this week, compared with 2.0% for the S&P 500. MLPs are still slightly negative on a YTD basis, compared with 9.0% for the S&P 500.
A sharp decline in the 10-year interest rate helped MLPs outperform this week. The 10-year closed at 2.0% this week, and it may test the year to date low of 1.8%. If that happens, it will be the result of some crisis in Europe, or the result of a series of bad economic data from China or the U.S. If that were the case, stocks would likely struggle, and MLPs would come back into favor as a high yielding defensive investment with the tailwinds of a secular growth industry: domestic energy production.
Speaking of domestic energy production, natural gas hit fresh lows this week, closing the week under $2.00 per mmbtu. Fresh lows for natural gas prices translated to fresh annual highs for the companies that are poised to most directly benefit, such as $LNG (up 7.4% Friday) and $TNH (up 12.3% for the week). Generally, energy stocks lagged this week, as represented by $XLE in the chart below. The S&P 500 was down for the second straight week. MLPs very closely mirrored the S&P 500 until the S&P 500 broke lower Friday and MLPs held flat.
So, the markets look fairly bleak, but there are pockets of good performance within the energy industry and within the MLP sector. The key appears to be resisting the temptation to fall into MLP value traps. No matter how attractive the relative valuation of EROC, APL and BWP look, they will break your heart in the absence of a natural gas price uplift, which is not coming soon. I own EROC and APL, so I am guilty of this as well, which is a result of my instinct to be wary of obvious trends and what everyone thinks they know.
But for now, liquids-focused MLPs (I am considering crude oil a liquid here) are still your best bet, but the trick is to find liquids-focused MLPs at a good price. Best time to find those reasonably-priced, liquids-focused MLPs is either (1) during times like this when the market pushes everything down, (2) after an equity offering or (3) a combination of both. Also, as you will read below, all of the M&A activity these days is rich-gas, NGL or crude focused. Liquids remain the story that works, no matter how cheap dry gas focused MLPs look.

Grace Millane murder suspect called her 'beautiful, very radiant' in social media message '11 minutes before she was last seen'
Grace Millane, from Essex, was killed last week and a 26-year-old man has now appeared in court in Auckland, New Zealand, charged with her murder
THE man accused of murdering Brit backpacker Grace Millane called her "beautiful" and "radiant" on social media just 11 minutes before she was last seen, it has been reported.
Grace, from Essex, was killed last week and a 26-year-old man has now appeared in court in Auckland charged with her murder.
Wearing blue police-issue overalls, he faced Auckland District Court and stood for nearly 90 minutes just yards from Grace's dad and uncle.
Not long before Grace, 22, went missing, he described her on a social media site as "beautiful very radiant", according to reports.
It comes after New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern today told Grace's family: "I'm sorry."
The killing has shocked residents of New Zealand, where serious crimes are relatively rare and camping in remote mountains and farmlands is widely regarded as safe for tourists and New Zealanders alike.
What we know so far:
- A 26-year-old man has appeared in court charged with British backpacker Grace Millane's murder
- Court records say Grace lay dead for a week after going missing last weekend
- The suspect, who cannot be named, had been living at the Citylife Hotel where Grace was last seen
- He was called a 'scumbag' from the public gallery as Grace's family and friends sat yards away
- Grace's body was found near the Waitakere Reservoir and dam, a hiking hotspot
- Her devastated family have paid tribute to graduate Grace calling her 'my only sunshine'
- On the day of her disappearance she told pals at the hostel 'I'm going to see a friend'
She said: "On behalf of New Zealand, I want to apologise to Grace's family. Your daughter should have been safe here and she wasn't, and I am sorry for that.
"There is this overwhelming sense of hurt and shame that this has happened in our country, a place that prides itself on our hospitality, on our manaakitanga," she said, using a Maori word for welcoming and generosity.
The suspect, who cannot be identified, is understood to have been living in the Citylife Hotel where tragic Grace was last seen alive.
He entered no plea and said nothing during his appearance, merely nodding as the Judge Evangelos Thomas remanded him in custody until January 23 at the High Court.
Prison officers led him to the cells as a man in the gallery shouted "scumbag" and Grace's family and friends sat nearby.
After spending the weekend in police cells, he will now be transferred to the Mount Eden remand centre.
Judge Evangelos Thomas refused the man's application for name suppression but was forced to order a delay in any publication for at least 20 working days pending the outcome of an appeal.
Judge Thomas began the hearing with a heartfelt message saying: "I would like to acknowledge the presence of Grace's family", although her father David, who flew to Auckland hoping to find his daughter alive, could not be seen in the packed public gallery.
"I do not know what to say to you," said Judge Thomas. "Your grief must be desperate. All of us hope justice is fair and swift and ultimately brings your some peace."
But he added: "That will not be happening today."
Court records show that Grace's body lay dead for up to a week and police have said her cause of death won't be revealed after a post mortem has been completed.
The suspect, whose occupation is unknown, is alleged to have killed Grace between December 1 and 2.
He was seen entering CityLife Hotel with Grace last Saturday and has since been charged with her murder.
Police have not said how the pair met but his home address is listed as the same hotel she disappeared from.
Outside court the suspect's grandfather told media he was struggling to come to terms with the charges, Stuff.co.nz reported.
He revealed the accused is a father to a little girl with a woman he's no longer in a relationship with, and had spent time living in Australia where his mother is based.
He was cared for by his grandparents as a child because his parents split up and his dad "wasn't in a settled relationship".
The grandfather added: "He was a nice kid, but he sort of fell out with everybody, which is what happens with broken up marriages."
A female relative also told the website the suspect returned to NZ from Australia in 2016, while his dad said he hadn't spoken to him for two years. Asked why, he replied: "A difference in opinion on life."
Mr Millane, thought to have been joined in Auckland by one of Grace's two brothers, had been seen walking alone past the front of the district court in shorts and a t shirt an hour before the alleged killer was brought in through a back entrance in the back seat of a police car.
It comes as her devastated family paid tribute to tragic Grace.
Her brother Declan Millane wrote out the lyrics to You Are My Sunshine, along with a series of pictures of them both, as the desperate hunt to find her came to a close.
The 22-year-old's brother wrote: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey.
"You'll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."
Hundreds of people showed their support for the family, writing messages of love and sympathy on Declan's post.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard said the body was found off a countryside road outside the city of Auckland, adding "our hearts go out to them [the family]."
Her dad, millionaire property developer David, 60, had flown to New Zealand earlier in the week, where he made an emotional appeal for help.
Fighting back tears at a press conference, he asked for anyone with information, "any detail, no matter how small", to come forward.
Mr Millane, from Wickford, Essex, said: "Grace is a lovely, outgoing, fun-loving, family-orientated daughter. Grace has never been out of contact for this amount of time.
"She's usually in daily contact with either her mother, myself, her two brothers or members of the family on social media. We have been extremely concerned for her welfare.
"We are all extremely upset and it is very difficult at this time to fully describe the range of emotions we are all going through."
Police quizzed Grace's suspected killer over her disappearance after she was seen on CCTV going into a hotel with a man she met on the night she vanished.
It was thought to be the last sighting of millionaire's daughter Grace, who was on a gap year trip.
The spot where the body was found is near the Waitakere Reservoir and dam, a hiking hotspot.
Det Insp Beard also revealed investigators are analysing a hire car as part of the probe.
The red Toyota Corolla hatchback was hired from a central Auckland rental firm just before lunchtime on December 2, the day after Grace was last seen alive.
Cops have appealed for sightings of the car in the west Auckland area between 6.30am and 9.30am on Monday.
Grace was last seen on Saturday night and was still booked into the £10-a-night Base Backpackers party hostel.
On the day of her disappearance she told pals at the hostel, "I'm going to see a friend". She messaged others saying she was meeting a guy, her family said.
It is unclear how she met the man suspected of killing her.
Timeline of British backpacker Grace Millane murder investigation
November 20 - Grace arrives in New Zealand after travelling in Peru
December 1 - She is seen at the CityLife Hotel, in Auckland, with a 'male companion'
December 2 - Her family hear nothing from her on her 22nd birthday. On the same day a red Toyota Corolla hatchback is rented from a car hire firm
December 5 - A missing persons report is filed by her worried family
December 6 - Police release an image of Grace leaving the hostel on the evening of December 1
December 7 - Her dad David Millane makes an emotional plea for help as police reveal they have spoken to the male companion
December 8 - A 26-year-old man is taken into custody
December 9 - Police find a body they believe to be Grace
December 10 - A 26-year-old man appears in court charged with her murder
Before the CityLife Hotel footage emerged, the last confirmed sighting of Grace had been CCTV of her dressed for a night out as she left the Sky City casino complex at 7.15pm.
She was wearing a pink £5,000 prize draw wristband, suggesting she planned to return to the casino, just a few minutes from the hotel.
Matt Searle, chief executive of the Lucie Blackman Trust, which is working with Grace's family, confirmed police were exploring the possibility she met someone online.

He said: "Speaking to the police in Auckland, it is an avenue they are looking at but we think the Tinder side of it is unsubstantiated.
"We have had literally hundreds of people telling us she's on Tinder.
"We don't know who this guy was or how she met him and everyone is keeping a very open mind as to how that came about."

Troutman Sanders' announcement to terminate operations of all three of their China offices startled the industry, even more so, their own staff after a profitable year in 2017. Though non-financially related, the decision to forego overseas offices due to lack of synergy with their national work seems coherent with global trends of 'localisation' and 'isolation'. With China mirroring the rest of the world, how can localisation be integrated to benefit the presence of international law firms in mainland China? Our consultant Levana Huang discusses why localisation is important for law firms and how they are achieving this.
Firms with success in China have long been investing and continue to nurture local capabilities, intentionally steering the wheel to service Chinese clients, advise from a PRC law perspective, or introduce more flexible management rules, rather than inheriting a pedantic, centralised control. According to The Lawyer China Top 30 2017, Clifford Chance ($35.85 million), Hogan Lovells (S29.84 million), Allen & Overy ($25.47 million), Baker McKenzie ($25.19 million) and Jones Day ($24.82 million) reign above the other international firms in regards to Chinese revenue. Surely, a long-term presence in China contributes to the size and revenue of these firms; nonetheless, these firms have all demonstrated belief in the paramount importance of localisation in the following ways.
Chinese clients
The term ODI ('Outbound Direct Investment') has certainly gained popularity with the Belt Road Initiatives. Visionary partners with sustainable businesses are not relying entirely on institutional clients or referral work from satellite offices. They are proactive on the ground, pulling social strings to access the panels of state-owned enterprises and Chinese tech giants. Linklaters predicts the outbound investment of China based clients to grow to $1.5trn over the next decade. To ensure success in winning over Chinese business, the firm has announced an alliance with a PRC firm in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
New generation of 'local' partners
Localisation is also evident in leadership appointments; for example, Clifford Chance made a strategic decision to pair up Terence Foo and Tim Wang as co-managing partners for their China offices. This complementary duo features a home-grown partner and a Chinese native with a strong local network. As we witness the retirement of first generation expat lawyers, who initially relocated from London or U.S. offices to launch in China and/or help solidify the practice on-the-ground, the new generation of partners in their succession are usually of a local profile. With this mentality, when John Kao of Jones Day left his post as the Partner in charge of the Beijing office last year, the firm opted for a native Chinese rather than another American Chinese. Jessie Chenghui Tang, started her career at a top domestic firm assisting Chinese companies on their outbound investments. ODI work now comprises over 50% of the Beijing office's corporate practice in China.
Caliber of associates
As a new generation of Chinese partners begin to reign at the managerial levels of foreign firms, it is also generally seen as anachronistic to prefer an English speaker over a native Chinese at the associate level. Transcending the language proficiency is the ability to culturally fit in with the team and understand the way of doing business locally, i.e. embracing ubiquitous interaction with clients on any given social media platform. Besides local talent, we are coming across growing numbers of overseas Chinese lawyers with interest to return to the region, as Belt Road Initiatives continue to generate prolific business opportunities in the East.

As 2017 wraps up, I have finally ordered a Ledger Nano S, for my small crypto holdings.
Currently I am 100% on exchanges, but as I seem to succeed at day trading and my BTC holdings increase, I have decided to move a percentage from the exchange to my new hardware wallet.
I figure I will move 0.05 BTC into hardware cold storage each month. This will also allow me to take advantage of all the upcoming hardforks, airdrops, and basically free money.
The question is, how to minimize cost in doing so.
The exchange has a 0.00050000 BTC fee to withdraw BTC, then there are the miner fees.
Its complex.
I wish there was a simple calculator.

Mr. Den Herder goes to Washington
Mr. Den Herder goes to Washington
When young Jacob Den Herder and his family, newly arrived from the Netherlands in 1847, stepped off the flatboat that had carried them into western Michigan, they were greeted by thousands of acres of dense forest.
When young Jacob Den Herder and his family, newly arrived from the Netherlands in 1847, stepped off the flatboat that had carried them into western Michigan, they were greeted by thousands of acres of dense forest. Dark, unruly wilds. Not unlike what Den Herder would face 30 years later in a committee room full of politicians in Washington, D.C.1
By then, Den Herder had established himself as one of Zeeland, Michigan's leading citizens. In the decades since, he had swung an ax to clear forest for the township's first homes, had taught school, had held public office and had operated several successful businesses. (The Den Herder Bank, Travel & Insurance Co. was a forebear of Zeeland State Bank and eventually, First Michigan Bank.)2
Den Herder couldn't have been entirely surprised then, when he was nominated by state Republicans to be an elector from Michigan's 5th District, one of 11 Michigan electors who would help choose America's president in the 1876 election.3
Even before Den Herder and his fellow electors visited Lansing that December to vote, they had to appreciate their roles in an unfolding drama.
The popular vote between Democrat Samuel J. Tilden and Republican Rutherford B. Hayes had been historically close. Suspecting the Democrats had intimidated black and Republican voters at the polls in three Southern states, Republicans contested the results in South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, where Tilden claimed to have won by impossibly large margins. A committee of 10 congressmen and five Supreme Court justices reviewed the vote and declared Hayes the winner in all three states. 4
"The political strife between the two main parties was very hot and as a whole evenly divided," Den Herder wrote in his memoirs. "The result of the November (popular) election had shown that … 185 Republican and 184 Democratic electors had been chosen. Therefore the electoral colleges of the different states were very closely watched."5
In December, Den Herder proudly voted for Hayes and his running mate, William Wheeler. But two months later, a group of Michigan Democrats questioned Den Herder's citizenship and thus, his eligibility to have served as an elector. Den Herder was subpoenaed by Congress and traveled to Washington, D.C., to appear before the investigating committee.
"Political feeling at session of Congress ran high and wild," Den Herder wrote. "The Democratic side of that committee was very anxious to get at me."6
With support from Michigan Sen. and acting U.S. Vice President Thomas Ferry, a friend of Den Herder's from Grand Rapids, Den Herder produced the papers that proved his citizenship, which seemed to satisfy the Democratic investigators, but only briefly.
The next day, it was alleged that Den Herder had never resigned as a local postmaster, which also would have made him ineligible to serve as an elector. Den Herder swore that he had resigned but lacked proof. Eventually Ferry enlisted the help of the U.S. postmaster general, who produced papers confirming that Den Herder had vacated his postmaster's job two years earlier.
"Consequently my vote for Hayes and Wheeler … was declared legal and I was at liberty to return home," Den Herder wrote. "I stayed, however, until the other doubtful votes of other states had all been disposed of and Hayes and Wheeler declared elected President and Vice President of the United States."7
Though he would refer to his experience in the capital as "that terrible political storm," the deeply religious Den Herder took some positives from his trip. He was heartened to see Congress begin every day's business with a prayer. And he was moved to join Vice President Ferry, a Presbyterian, at Sunday services and worship with members of a Christian faith other than his own.
"That was the very best paying political office I ever had," Den Herder wrote, "not from a financial point of view, but otherwise. And I still thank God for that experience."8
For Jacob Den Herder, an active community member and business owner, politics was a natural career progression. Photo Credit: Zeeland Historical Society

Beverly was first settled in 1886, and was incorporated as a city in 1904. The city was named after Beverly, West Virginia, the native home of a pioneer settler. Donald K. Ross, World War II Medal of Honor recipient, was born in Beverly. For a time there was only one telephone in town located in the drug store where messages were taken and delivered and, if necessary, out-of-town calls could be made. If anyone wanted to talk to a neighbor, they yelled across the back fence or walked over to their house. If that was too far (a mile or more), they hitched up the horse and buggy and drove, which usually meant spending the day, or at least eating a meal, with the friend. The first street lights were acetylene and each evening the old lamp lighter made his rounds. Finally, a plant was installed in the basement of the telephone office and houses no longer had to be ignited by coal oil or gasoline lamps and main streets were a great white way. Beverly has many interesting and unique people making it a cultural and interesting place to visit.

One of the ZIP codes for Beverly is 67423. Beverly has a 2010 population of approximately 162 people. Beverly and Lincoln County are known for having very dangerous highway areas for traffic accidents that are fatal. Beverly can be reached from a group of highways including KS-18, KS-14 and other roads. Beverly's highways have substantial traffic flow of tractor-trailers, big rigs and 18 wheelers. The shoulders on these roads are very narrow. A large number of Kansans in Beverly are killed or severely injured every year due to the negligence of large trucks driving across the state on these dangerous highways to avoid toll and weigh stations. Be careful when traveling on KS-18 and KS-14 so that you and your family are safe.

Brian had a little surgery today, and is the only person I know whose deviated septum was truly a deviated septum. We half joked about it for a year, but after being miserable from a 95% closed septum and our insurance spiking at the beginning of the year, he pulled the trigger on the surgery.
It's a common procedure, but the poor guy looks pretty sad tonight.
For that reason, we fully decked our halls yesterday, the day after getting back in town from Thanksgiving. (That means it's also decked with laundry.)
There was a sad baby, a timeout, tears, and an acai bowl splattered on the wall, all while Michael Buble's "Silent Night" played in the background.
Amid the chaos, the little looks of pure wonder in their eyes while decorating the tree with horizontal candy cane ornaments makes me SO excited for this season.
(Admiring décor with a bat is probably less than ideal.)
Roscoe will be way merrier when he's introduced to the NSYNC Christmas album.

I have Denzinger's Sources and Ott's Fundamentals along with all the Papal and Ecclesiastical documents currently live in Verbum. Also, a couple different editions of patristic writings that are extensive and Canon Law.
I'm wondering what would be added in terms of new sources or links by getting the following:
The Companion to the Catechism of the Catholic Church: A Compendium of Texts Referred to in the Catechism of the Catholic Church?
I'm not thinking of the Introduction volume, but the primary, "Companion" resource.
Any ideas?
Here is the link to the resource set: https://www.logos.com/product/52303/companion-to-the-catechism-collection
I realize now that I did not do specific research to find some examples of where the Catechism is not linked to any existing resources available in the Verbum catalog.
To do that I open up the Catechism and started to step through all the references one-by-one to try and figure out where there are missing primary documents that are linked. The first I came across was in the Prologue, Section III, Para. 11, Footnote 15 where the reference is to: Extraordinary Synod of Bishops 1985, Final Report II B a, 4. There is no link to the primary document.
After a little more work I realized this would be an exercise too labor intensive to perform with any reasonable chance of coming up with a list from which to judge the value of the resource I am asking about in the original post.
So .... I'd like to rephrase the question (for Thomas or Craig): How is the Companion going to be linked to the Catechism? Will the entire content of the Companion be linked? Or, will other primary documents maintain there links and the Companion fill in the missing pieces?
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the question! The biggest value for the Companion is that you get all of the CCC references in one volume, without having to collect each and every original volume to link to the CCC in Verbum.
Regarding your question of linking between the Companion and the CCC, the Companion will link to the footnotes and references in the CCC, which is what it essentially designed to provide in print. Verbum will make the connections in the software, just as it does between the other resources in the software.
I think that answers your question. Let me know if I've missed anything!
Yours in the Faith,
Craig St. Clair | Verbum Product Manager |
Hi Craig,
Thanks for the reply. What I was looking for, though, is more detail about what may be filling in gaps for resources not currently anywhere else in Verbum catalog.
For example, the resource reference I make above in the prologue does not exist (as far as I can tell, or it's not linked) in any resource in the Verbum catalog. When I look in my hardcopy edition of the Companion there is no excerpt from the document referenced in the CCC. In other words, even if I purchase the Companion, I'm still not going to have that primary resource that I cite above.
How many other CCC references to external documents will still be missing after the Companion goes live? Is there a map of the currently inactive references in the CCC so we could see how much more the Companion is going to provide?
EDIT: I had the question right the first time and confused myself in the second post. The original question, restated here is what I am looking for.
Please bring back Ott's "Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma" to Verbum!

Please bring back Ott's "Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma" to Verbum!
I wish ... but it would need to be in the original German or a new translation IIRC the licensing issues correctly.
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
Craig St. Clair (Faithlife):Let me know if I've missed anything!
I think somebody missed putting page numbers in!
(Also, the table of contents is a little funky...)
Lent is here.
Catholic Products Forum - Book Suggestions UserVoice - Verbum Blog
That was probably Ignatius Press that "forgot" the page numbers. The section numbers, like with the CCC, really take the place of page numbers.
What are you seeing that is amiss with the Table of Contents? Assume you are referring to the left sidebar and not the table of contents in the text itself. Section II on the Sacraments looks to be lacking subdivisions, which looks a bit odd.

So it seems. I'm glad that publishers of the real Catechism do not seem to have ever made such a mistake.
Craig St. Clair (Faithlife):The section numbers, like with the CCC, really take the place of page numbers.
Except when you want to quote from or otherwise cite the texts found in the companion.
Craig St. Clair (Faithlife):What are you seeing that is amiss with the Table of Contents? Assume you are referring to the left sidebar and not the table of contents in the text itself. Section II on the Sacraments looks to be lacking subdivisions, which looks a bit odd.
The subdivisions in the other sections are not truly subdivisions of the sections. In fact, there are no real subdivisions of the sections provided in the left sidebar. Rather, the sidebar provides subdivisions of certain individual documents (Divini Redemptoris, Quadragesimo Anno, and the Scala Claustralium) that are included in full in the text. You can't even tell what documents the subdivisions are for without clicking on the first subdivision entry and scrolling up, because there is no entry in the left bar for the document as a whole.
I have the Companion to the Catechism. Using your example, Prologue footnote 15, it doesn't open up/link to the corresponding section in the Companion as I had hoped. To find It, I have to open up the Companion then search it.
I am not sure if this is intended though. Both logically, and how the software is "suppose to work", one would think that when you click the footnote the reference should be a link that would open up the corresponding section in the companion. At least, that was the impression I had of what should happen -unless I am doing something wrong!
Other resources I have that are cited in the Catechism do link to the footnote. My best guess is that the other resources are the primary sources so that is why the linking exists. Since the Companion is a collection of the resources, I don't think the library recognizes it as being the resource that is cited.
I hope Verbum can fix this - priority given to primary resources already in the library, but when they are missing to "fill in" with the Companion as the resource for the footnotes!
In order for a footnote to be linked, it must refer to a resource that has a standard reference scheme - as do the Church Fathers, the Vatican II documents, ... This particular reference "Extraordinary Synod of Bishops 1985, Final Report II B a, 4." is unlikely to have had a reference scheme built for it and therefore unlikely to bring up the link in the Companion or any other resource. I'm not saying this is how it should work but I am saying this is what is to be expected.

They would have to get it from Baronius Press these days, I believe.

Fish Pyramid with Green Sauce

- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbs. lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 cup FRESH CHOPPED DILL or 1 Tbs. dried dill. (If dried dill is used add 1/4 cup chopped parsley to give the sauce its characteristic green color.)
- 1/4 cup PICKLE RELISH.
- 2 HARD BOILED eggs
- 2 tomatoes cut in slices
- 1/4 cup black olives
- 4 or 5 parsley SPRIGS
- Combine the first seven ingredients.
- Shape into a pyramid on a 12 inch plate (with hands moistened with water).
- Combine the second six ingredients.
- Pour the Green Sauce over the pyramid.
- Garnish around edge of plate with the last four ingredients.

Stilllll a few weeks behind. I found this bit of wood in an abandoned sauna's log store in Finland. It was as hard as hell and nice and dry. So I picked it up and it has been on my shelf since then. It was a pain to carve as there were a lot of knots in the top. It also took way longer than I thought it would – I think because it was quite a chunky design.
I have included a hole in the top so it can be hung from a hook, or have some string tied around it and hung up. I oiled this one in olive oil for a change, which worked surprisingly well!

My wedding was just around the corner and with all the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding, bae and I were looking for a good place to rent because I definitely did not want to move into his bachelor pad.
We both had aspects of the house that we were particular about. As the resident foodie and cook, I wanted to have a very spacious kitchen that also had a store and my husband was keener about every room being ensuite with enough parking space for the two of us. As you can imagine, it was difficult finding a house that we both loved.
Finally, after 4 months of house hunting, it was looking like we were not going to get any place we would both like anytime soon until we got a call from our agent saying he found a place around Surulere that would suit both our needs.
We went to check it the next day and the house was like a breath of fresh air because it had everything we both had been searching for. The only issue we had with it was the painting; everywhere was painted in cream colour. This certainly did not work with our personalities, but luckily it was fixable.
As soon as we paid for the rent, the next thing on our agenda was to look for a painter to paint the house. I love the way my sister-in-law painted her own house, so I called her to tell me the paint she used.
She said her painter, Yusuf, was the one that bought all the materials used to paint the house. I got in touch with Yusuf and he told me that he buys all his paints from Sandtex always and that's the brand he trusts to deliver on everything he needs.
Initially, I was worried we would not find any unique colour that we would like because I like playing around with colours. However, Yusuf advised that I should come along with him to the Sandtex Experience Centre so I can pick the exact colour I want.
To my surprise, their catalogue contained so many colours, I couldn't believe it. They even told me that they can create any colour I like if I did not find any colour I wanted in their catalogue. So far, I have not had any problem with the walls flaking or discolouration.
Sandtex has been my go-to brand for anything painting ever since, and now with my baby on the way, I already know I would not have any problem painting the nursery because I have Sandtex.
