Anyway, this piece on "Aristocratization" from our friends at the Onion, even seven years later, is still funny (and no, that is not Stately Dog Manor in the picture).
August 16, 2015, Reach out and touch someone
To the extent any of this is talked about in the national
Oh well. We are in an intertwined Gordian knot of bad stuff. An example of this that strikes me is the President's scheduled jaunt to the Arctic to highlight the dangers of global warming which is an interesting case study. We have the same President who refuses to have his Administration sign off on a pipeline to transport Canadian tar-sand derived petroleum nonetheless approved Arctic oil drilling, stances that are "inconsistent." Kind of like "the most transparent Presidency in American history" prosecuting more government whistle-blowers than all of its predecessors combined. The first and only time in American history we have the White House and Justice Department overseen by people of color, also happens to be the same government to give hundreds of millions of dollars worth of military equipment intended for use in war zones to American police departments, where it will be, as disproportionately as everything else in law enforcement, deployed against... people... of color.
To try to put what's going on in the world in one long and unpleasant sentence, I am somewhat informed by my recent observations of the New York City subway system, in which virtually every advertisement I saw was either for (1) a financial value-skimming dot com (trying to suck value from everything from food delivery, to taxis, to help-wanted ads) that will now divert value to centralized Wall Street or Silicon Valley v.c.'s that used to go, albeit in a more diffuse, less "efficient" way, to Main Street and mom and pop ventures, or (2) some kind of vocational training, be it by a for-profit operation skimming from the federal student loan machine or occasionally by state-run community colleges. And so, my not particularly helpful take is that "Power that used to be spread out among workers, productive industries, governmental interests and the commonweal has now been ever-more concentrated into ever-more centralized pockets of power tied to money derived either from commons-devastating resource extraction or from the financial trickery facilitated by national policy designed solely to maintain the asset values of those already in possession of substantial assets based not on providing goods and services of real value but based upon the privilege of either issuing unlimited debt or accessing that debt at virtually no cost or risk which permits "them that has to gets" in ever larger quantities, resulting not merely in wealth and income disparity but power disparity to the point that an academic study concludes our nation is an oligarchy and not a democracy, and as a result of a peculiar psychopathology that has infected the powerful, their interests have amounted not to the long-term benefit (or even survival) of themselves or their offspring, but have instead resulted in an insane land-grab of everything in the interests of their personal short-term gain at the expense of the population writ large, resulting in ever more debt-generation (and all that goes with that), resource depletion, environmental degradation and the resulting adverse health consequences that result from that, loss of real living standards for all but those largest rentiers on top of the skimming-game pyramid, and a concomitant increase in the power (financial and otherwise) of those on top of the game at the expense of everyone else, all at the same time that decades of dumbing down education and popular culture seem to have quite literally sapped the very imagination of those not on top of the pyramid to the point where the only "solutions" amount to some variant of extending the status quo that has caused the problems in the first place."
OK then. Remember that you have an infinite capacity for adaptation-- it's what has kept our physically-not-very-formidable species in the dominant position on this planet for a while (and, it is the habituation to the forgetting of this fact that will, if things do not soon change in a big way, kick us out of that position, and possibly, kick us out altogether). What can one do? I will start by leaving that as an exercise for your imagination.
The one place that AT&T, Verizon and the NSA can't reach out and touch, by the way.
August 2, 2015, Bread and Circuses: Delaware Edition
Let me say that with Hillary Clinton, all things are possible. She has already been instrumental in giving us our first Black President (no, not her husband). Right now, she is on track to give us, quite possibly, our first Jewish/avowed socialist President, or possibly our first Latino President, or, maybe even our first woman President (Elizabeth Warren or perhaps some Republican... such as Hillary herself). So that said, why not Joe Biden? Sure, he had been a Dan Quayle-style joke for these last six-and-a-half years, but repeat after me: "With Hillary, all things are possible."
With all due respect, Joe Biden is no one's example of a genius. At least he's authentic... but he's prone to "gaffes." Anyway-- until it became clear that Hillary was going to be a more serious enemy of her own candidacy than the entire right-wing press corps and Congressional Republicans combined, The Establishment [tm] was willing to let her have a quiet victory lap before her coronation while we all sat back and watched Bill and Hillary's buddy the Human Bad Hair Day (they attended his [most recent] wedding) savage the Republican side with his own version of a political reality show, slicing and dicing through political sacred cows and tearing off the Emperor's New Clothes faster than his real estate empire went bankrupt without his father to prop it up. But now, as her abysmal campaign "style," her continuous e-mail fiascoes and, well, her just continue to undermine her campaign...
So... here's the thing.
With the clear exception of Bernie Sanders, whose election would signal something rather dramatic (which is why it isn't going to happen), does anyone doubt that the next President, be it Biden or Hillary or Bush or Rubio or Walker or whomever... is going to (1) continue occupying over 150 other countries and active drone wars and shooting wars, (2) reappoint Janet Yellen or some other clone whose mandate is to prop up the asset values of the already rich and super-rich, (3) continue to shove corporate-giveaway abominations like Trans-Pacific Partnership and TTIP and the like down our throats, (4) take no effort to manage the ongoing American and global declines in anything other than the present manner of making sure that the rich and super-rich do not suffer even a little, (5) fill in your own variant of "maintain the status quo" be it "not close Guantanamo," "not rein in deficit spending," "not control health care costs" or whatever you like...?
I didn't think so. Because the President's recent diplomatic breakthrough with Iran should cause us to give a moment's pause, and realize just how similar we are to that nation. Like us, it has a notional democracy for the election of political
What can we do about this? Well, you can consider sending money to Bernie Sanders (I have), and helping his campaign. Obviously, I have no expectations on this one. Otherwise, you can withdraw your unbridled belief in "American democracy." Because it exists only in places like "American Idol," although there, teenage girls will probably outvote you, just as oligarchs will outvote you in "elections." Of course, I'm not averse to absorbing the entertainment value of things. That said, we are being presented with a show... so why not sit back, and enjoy it?
Say what you will about Joe Biden... the man is entertaining.

The following text is adapted from 'Footsteps Through Time - A History of Travel and Tourism to the Victoria Falls', researched and written by Peter Roberts and due for publication in early 2017. Please visit the Zambezi Book Company website for more information.
Following the declaration of independence life in white-ruled Rhodesia initially carried on much as before, despite being unrecognised on the international stage and the imposition of trading sanctions. But with the ruling white population representing less than ten percent of the national total, however, the call for majority black rule was steadily gaining momentum. In an effort to establish international recognition Rhodesia broke its last ties to Britain and declared itself a republic on 2nd March 1970, yet still found itself in international limbo.
Political relationships between independent Zambia and white-controlled Rhodesia deteriorated and the Bridge was frequently closed to goods and passenger services. In 1969 the passenger service over the Bridge was indefinitely suspended, with Rhodesian trains terminating at the Falls.
The early 1970s saw an escalation in the struggle, with independence fighters based in Zambia launching strategic incursions and attacks against communication and infrastructure targets on the southern side of the river. On the night of the 16th January 1970 the Police Camp and Sprayview Hotel were attacked and shots were also fired at the Victoria Falls Airport buildings. During the subsequent operation to capture the insurgents the railway line south of Victoria Falls was blown up.
Land mine incidents and train derailments occurred over subsequent months as the conflict intensified. The following year, on 3rd August 1971, a train was derailed on the line to the Falls.
Eventually, on 9th January 1973, Smith announced the closure of border posts with Zambia, including Victoria Falls, until he received satisfactory assurances from the Zambian Government that it would no longer permit terrorists to operate and launch attacks against Rhodesia from within its territory. In response Zambia closed their side of the border with Rhodesia on 1st February 1973. The river border remained tense, with the Falls Bridge again closely watched from observation bunkers.
In May 1973 a tragic incident occurred resulting in the death of two Canadian tourists. Whilst exploring the gorges below the Falls Hotel with friends Marjan Iduna Drijber and Christine Louise Sinclair were shot and killed by rifle fire from the north ban. Tourism collapsed on both sides of the river, with national tourism arrivals to Rhodesia decreasing to 250,000 in 1975.
Despite the official closure of the border, freight was still transported over the Falls Bridge. A Rhodesian engine would shunt a string of freight trucks out on to the middle of the Bridge, and a Zambian Rail diesel would back onto its end of the Bridge and pull them into Zambia, and vice-versa, several times a day. The closure of the border had significant impacts on tourism, preventing tourists from the south crossing into Zambia and cutting off the south bank from the services provided in Livingstone, further stimulating the growth of the small town on the south bank.
"Little further development took place until the mid 1960's when major political changes caused significant growth in the village. Until this time, the residents of Victoria Falls were primarily railway or government employees with a few individuals involved in tourism. Financial, commercial and social services for the village were provided by Livingstone. Moreover, a large proportion of the visitors to the Falls arrived via the international airport at Livingstone and the majority of the tourist facilities were provided there. With the closure of the border between Rhodesia and Zambia, Victoria Falls was forced to become self-sufficient and also to provide a far wider ranger of tourist facilities if the tourist market was not to be lost to Zambia." (Heath, 1977)
In 1973 the town was estimated to cover 310 hectares (PlanAfric, 2001). Heath records the population of Victoria Falls Town in the mid-seventies at around 3,000, and highlighted the increasing tourism pressures during the 1970s.
"The rapid growth of Victoria Falls during the last decade has caused considerable planning problems. It is of paramount importance that the immediate vicinity of the Falls should be altered as little as possible if its natural qualities are to be preserved. Conservation needs, however, may conflict with the need to provide facilities for tourists and in recent years there has been a proliferation of tourist services along the river bank upstream from the Falls." (Heath, 1977)
The Elephant Hills Country Club was opened in 1974, located a short distance upstream of the Falls on the site known as Dale's Kopje. The development included a golf course designed by South African golfer Gary Player and opened in 1975.
The course became known among golfers as 'more like a wildlife reserve than a golf course,' famed for its wildlife hazards - including interruptions by elephant, hippopotami and ball-stealing baboons - and giving rise to some rather curious local rule variations. Charlie the crocodile was well known for leaving his water-hazard home on the eighth hole to roam the fairways. The club rules clarified that 'a ball striking or deflected by a wild animal may be replayed from as near as possible to the spot from which the original ball was played.'
On 25th August 1975 the Bridge was the site of unsuccessful peace talks, known as the 1975 Constitutional Conference. The talks, lasting nine and a half hours, took place aboard a South African Railways coach from the 'White Train,' used in the 1947 Royal Tour, positioned across the middle of the Bridge.
Supervised by South African Prime Minister Vorster, the tense negotiations included Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith, Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, and representatives of the African National Council, led by Bishop Abel Muzorewa. The Rhodesian delegation sat on their side of the coach whilst nationalist representatives sat on the Zambian side. One account records the staff were apparently rather too liberal with the bar service and two members became intoxicated and disruptive, helping talks to continue throughout the day. The talks failed to reconcile the representatives divergent viewpoints and the independence war gained intensity.
On 12th December 1976 a passenger train travelling south of Victoria Falls detonated a landmine. The locomotive and four passenger coaches were lifted from the track but did not overturn and no serious injuries were sustained. The passenger service to the Falls was subsequently suspended until after the war.
By 1977 hotels and campsites were closing in the face of security concerns, including the Rainbow Hotel, mothballed until more favourable tourism conditions returned. Upstream of the Falls the Zambezi Camp was closed and access to the river controlled as a cordon of security surrounded the tourism resort.
The original Elephant Hills was destroyed by a fire caused by a SAM 7 heat-seeking missile launched from Zambia on 2nd November 1977. Apparently fired at a Rhodesia United Air Carriers light tourist aircraft which was circulating above the Falls, it missed its target and by chance landed on the thatched roof of the Hotel. The explosion was reportedly heard as far away as the Falls Airport.
"It was the day after the conclusion of the Elephant Hills Golf Classic, and the luxury hotel, full to capacity the day before, was 'recuperating' from the excitement of the famous golfing tournament, and all the local and international celebrities that it always attracted."
"The guests had all left the evening before, on the daily Air Rhodesia flight back to Salisbury, and the hotel was empty, apart from hotel staff busy cleaning and preparing for the next expected influx of guests.
"The terrorist rocket, fired at the hotel from Zambia, hit the top floor Gary Player Suite, vacated just the evening before by Commander, Combined Operations, Lt General Peter Walls, a guest of the golfing classic.
"The missile, attracted by the heat of the air-conditioning unit, caused extensive damage, and an uncontrollable fire soon raged throughout the building with staff running in and out of the stricken hotel trying to retrieve prized furnishings and equipment. There was no fire brigade in the Victoria Falls village, and the nearest fire engine was at the Airport, some 13 kms away. Used only for the occasional slow run along the runway, the fire engine now raced at top speed along the main road from the airport to the hotel. The first problem encountered was to find that the electricity to the hotel had been switched off in the village, presumably as a precaution, and the fire engine was unable to pump water; it was quickly decided to pump water from the swimming pool and it was then that the fire engine, overheating from its rush to the scene, seized with a loud bang! Everyone on the scene then had to help manually pump water from the pool.
"The hotel was destroyed, and remained a shell for the next five or six years, with only a squash court and a bar still operating." (Moore, 2012)
Luckily there were no casualties, but the Hotel was completely gutted by the fire. The passengers from the light aircraft apparently took it all in their stride. One, a Mr Lief Bjorseth, was reported as saying "It's not every day you get shot at - I got something extra for my money"! (Teede & Teede, 1991)
With the ongoing independence struggle and closure of the border Victoria Falls was the scene of much military activity, and the cause of much concern for the managers of Falls Hotel.
"There was no particular reason to suspect that there might be an attack on the hotel as the Victoria Falls area was a hive of Security Force activity from the outset, although precautions were taken after the destruction of the Elephant Hills. Care had always to be taken not to alarm guests, nor to scare off would-be visitors, and after a failed mortar attack on the Victoria Falls area, with one off target shell narrowly missing the laundry outbuilding, causing slight damage, it was decided to warn guests by sticking notices onto their bathroom mirrors. The hotel quickly found that the stickers were being removed by guests as souvenirs, and new stocks had to be constantly reprinted!" (Moore, 2012)
In the early 1970s tourist arrivals to the country hovered at around 340,000 per annum. By 1979 there were only 79,000 - the lowest total since 1963. Over sixty percent of the Hotel's guests came from South Africa, as international arrivals evaporated.
"Tourism was badly affected by the war and the country's hotels survived only because of support from Government in the form of subsidies and subsidised travel by local and international visitors. To help the battered tourism sector, the national airline and hotel groups introduced the Super Six scheme, in which guests went on air and road packages for up to six nights at significantly discounted prices. The scheme met with reasonable success and the number of visitors to hotels, including the Victoria Falls Hotel, was remarkable given the overall situation in the country." (Creewel, 2004)
To prevent opposition forces crossing into Rhodesia the road surface of the Falls Bridge was removed and in late 1978 and the Bridge set with explosives, ready to blow a critical section should it be necessary (Burrett and Murray, 2013).
Extensive anti-personnel minefields were laid along 220 kilometres of border between Victoria Falls and downstream to Mlibizi during the period of the war.
The minefields would continue to pose a serious threat to people and wildlife for decades after the war. It would take until 2015 before the vast majority of these minefields would be cleared, with the removal of over 50,000 land mines (Victoria Falls Bits and Blogs, June 2015).
"South African Airways has suspended Salisbury stopovers on its Johannesburg-London services, cutting the last direct air link between Britain and Rhodesia... It is also reported that SAA has suspended services from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls and has stopped selling inclusive tours to Rhodesia's northern border resorts." (Flight International Magazine, Feb 1979)
Under the Parks and Wildlife Act (1975) the Victoria Falls National Park was subdivided in 1979 to form Zambezi National Park, covering 56,000 hectares upstream of the Falls, and the smaller Victoria Falls National Park, covering 1,900 hectares, under the management of the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.
The Falls Park includes the immediate area of the Falls, Rainforest and gorges stretching some 12 kilometres downstream, with a narrow strip of riverine fringe extending six kilometres upstream connecting with the Zambezi National Park. The redrawing of the park boundaries degazetted some 3,000 hectares surrounding the expanding town of Victoria Falls.

In the match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals, Ashwin was run out of Buttler during bowling
Rajiv Shukla said – In this way, the IPL captain against the run-out, Kohli and Dhoni were present in the meeting.
Royals player Butler had expressed his displeasure when he was out
new Delhi. Ravichandran Ashwin is being criticized for the Jos Buttler's run-out in the match played between Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab. During the bowling of Ashwin, butler went beyond the crease. During this time, Ashwin got him run out. This type of runout is called 'Manking'. IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla said that the captains and match referees of the IPL teams were against the runout like this. It was fixed in a meeting and Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni were also present. However, Ashwin said that it was a natural reaction, where did it come from playing?
Rajeev Shukla tweeted – There was a meeting between the captains, the match referee. Here I was also present as an IPL Chairman. It was decided that if a non-strike batsman goes ahead of the crease at the time of bowling, then he will not be run out. It was decided due to gameplay. As far as I remember, this meeting took place in Kolkata at the beginning of an IPL edition. Dhoni and Kohli were also present in this.
Ashwin dismissed Butler in the 13th over
Royals' team, chasing the target of 184 runs during the match, was looking strong because of Butler's presence on the crease at 69. Ashwin came in to bowl 13th over They stopped throwing the 5th ball and during this time Butler crossed the crease. Ashwin runs him out. After being out in this manner Butler fret in His Ashwin was also debated. This match lost the Royals.
Cricketers condemn Ashwin
Shane Warne: Former Australian leg spinner said: "Ravichandran Ashwin is extremely disappointed with the captain and the person. All the captains sign the IPL Wall and agree to match the game spirit. The intention of throwing Ashwin's ball was not at all. In this case, it should be termed deadball. Now it is over the BCCI, because it is not good for the IPL.
Ian Morgan: The England middle-order batsman said: I do not believe in what I see in the IPL. This is a very bad example for youngsters who are going to come. I think Ashwin should apologize.
Michael von: Former England captain and opener said – If Butler had been warned it would have been fine. If he was not warned and it was the first time, then I think that Ashwin did not do well. Let's see how many such times it is now.
Such runout in the name of Venu Mankad is called 'Manking': This kind of runout is called "Manking" after the name of former Indian captain Venu Mankad, who was on a tour of Australia in 1947. Mankad bowling During this period, Australian batsman Bill Brown went ahead of Crease, Mankad had run-out, Mankad had to face criticism, however, then Aussie Don Bradman, who took over as captain, had defended him and said he was not able to understand why this is happening. Cricket rules are clear. it happens.
Buttler 'Munking' for the second time
This is the second time when Jos Buttler has 'mudding'. Earlier, he was mudding in ODIs against Sri Lanka in 2014. He was then warned by the bowler, pictured Senanayake before throwing the ball, but he still got out of the crease. At the time Butler was playing 21 runs and England's score was 199. Sri Lanka won the match by six wickets.

I recently returned back to Kuala Lumpur after visiting Rawa island, which is located about 5 hours from Kuala Lumpur and 45 minutes in a boat from Mersing. You can read the story on how I ended up on the Island partying with the owner here. But this article is more about how awesome this place is, getting there and what you will find.
At this point i'd like to point out I highly suggest visiting Rawa Island if you are near by.
Rawa Island is only small, it has 2 resorts on the island which are basically split by the jetty as a half way point. This is one of my favourite things about this island because the families with screaming children all stick to their busy side, leaving the other side quiet and more pure.
The best bit about Rawa is the fact it doesn't have comercial crowds, there is no annoying people trying to scam you or selling you rubbish while you are trying to relax on the beach. You will be able to snorkel with the fish and coral, I even spotted small sharks (like real small, there is none here that would attack humans) as well as crabs, sting rays and other marine life. You can go for a hike up to the top of the mountain in the centre of the island where you can find peacocks, even albino ones as well as other wildlife. There is a jetty you can jump off, or even just drink beers and watch the sunset. You will also find a variety of island water sport activities to choose from.
Here you will find info for Alangs Rawa This is the side I stayed on. If you are young, a couple, a backpacker etc then this is the side you want to stay on. There is no air con, footpaths, screaming children and so on. They cook amazing food at set meal times each day. Everything I ate tasted awesome, a favourite is the Rawa fish. You will find hammocks and beach beds all around to laze on through out the day. They have snorkelling equipment to hire as well as kayaks etc. On Saturday nights apparently the bar can get pretty busy full of travellers though I was not there on a saturday to experience this. You wont need to wear shoes the whole time you are here, you are on sand 90% of the time and it's awesome. All the chalets are pretty much straight on the beach. When they are at full capacity they even set up tents, which would really be fine to stay in.
Here you will find info for the bigger resort for families and those who need air con and more modern accommodation. There is far more rooms with footpaths and a nicer dining area and bar etc. It is still not a busy comercial place, but it has screaming children and older people. Not my scene! I don't know much about this side of the island, though I suggest this island as a place to visit, so if air con and families is your thing then check it out.
On both of the pages you will find details on how to get to the island. But it is about 4-5 hours drive or on a bus from KL. There is a closer airport also. Then it is about 45 minutes in a boat from Mersing which is all organised by the resort.
If you head out there and run in to Alang let him know you read the crazy Aussies blog.
Hi, I'm Ian and I have made it my life mission to travel and experience everything this world has to offer. Follow me on my quest to live outside the boundaries of conventional society and see the world through the eyes of all our fellow inhabitants. I hope to inspire and motivate you to make your own path in life and push your own limits.

Whatever your project, we offer a personal service, working with you and your team to find the best talent in town to put your project on the map and have everyone talking about it for all the right reasons.
As an agency, we have an instinctive way of knowing exactly who and what is right for your project, and have the connections to make it happen. This allows us to deliver high-end service every time. We can collaborate with your team or go it alone. Either way, we'll get results.
Over the last 15 years we've learnt a lot about what makes somebody bookable, whether that's as a guest on a TV or radio show, or a lead speaker at an industry event. If you're an agent or agency wondering how to get your clients booked, or a celebrity, high-profile entrepreneur or budding blogger wanting to take things to the next level and get more exposure, or just starting out and looking to make your big break in the media, then check out our consultancy service and book in for a Banging Brainstorm session – we LOVE to chat! We'll get you thinking outside the box to help you make that Bang.
We work closely with you to create the perfect blueprint for your project. We dive deeply into the details and together we draw up lists of celebrities or experts we think are perfectly aligned then hit hard as we make it all come alive. We work out of house, but you get the full in house experience. And we don't stop once we've booked the talent – BANG TALENT handles all the negotiations, keeping you in the loop as we secure your talent and can assist with travel plans, contracts, and ideas for creative content.
Whilst we don't actively manage talent, we love nothing more than talented people and each year look to work closely with a very select few to help get them noticed in the media.
If we feel as passionately about your work as you do, then we are off to a good start. We will support you and your media career in every way we can, including securing TV & radio appearances, speaking events, online activity, brand endorsements as well as connecting you to book agents and securing publishing deals. We have a proven track record and will work closely with you to ensure you stand out as the one everybody wants.

What you'll do
What happens when one of Paris' most interesting Wine CaveMen and about 10 global jetsetters go deep into one of Paris' oldest wine cellars? It's the PairingParty! Not a 101 'class,' (we favor conversation over note-taking, powerpoints, or maps) this is an irreverent tasting party w/ other curious culture-seekers...Between laughs + shared stories, you'll learn why French Wine + Cheese is considered the best in the world! We explore 4-6 different wines, carefully curated by Stefan & Simon--Paris's much-loved 'cave men' (and Stefan's one of the hottest-selling painters in town right now, he's too modest so I'm bragging about him ;p )--including a blind-taste test of one unexpected, mystery wine! Paired with 5-6 cheeses, some rare +hard to find, even in Paris! Underground, in our caves w/ storied+sordid pasts, only recently reopened to the public after 100+ years, we dive into Parisian culture, too--you'll discover not only which wines to pair with that amazing cheese, but slices of Paris life + current events. In the core of hip +creative Paris--the 'Marais' historic district--what starts with, 'cheers' becomes a dive into curated flight of rare + unusual cheeses, delicious wines--intriguingly tasty, to wild + strong, to a 'safe landing' of pure deliciousness! And ends with new friends from around the globe...together we explore France...by mouth!

Ted Bassett to present MBA CLE: A Practical Symposium on Daubert Motion PracticeMay 2, 2013
A Practical Symposium on Daubert Motion Practice
May 2, 2013
2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Worcester District Court
Meeting Room
225 Main St.
Worcester, MA, 01608
Click here for complete details and to register
Before you argue your first (or next) Daubert motion, don't miss this opportunity to learn what it takes to make a winning presentation. What are the best legal arguments? How to present them in the most compelling, persuasive way? Should you seek an opportunity to question the witness at the hearing? These questions and many more will be addressed by an outstanding panel of experienced trial lawyers and judges. In this mock case involving an accident reconstruction, two teams will battle each other at a fictional Daubert hearing by eliciting live testimony from a proposed expert followed by oral argument based on that testimony before two distinguished judges with decisions and reasoning given from the bench. This is a great chance to learn how to tailor an examination of an expert witness to best support arguments for and against permitting the expert to testify before the jury and how to make those arguments persuasively. This program presents an excellent teaching tool for both Civil and Criminal practitioners who practice in our Federal and State courts.
Specific Topics Include
- Criteria for admissibility and exclusion of expert testimony both under the Fed. R. Evid. and Mass. R. Evid.
- How to challenge admissibility of the expert opinion under Daubert/Kuhmo Tire Co.
- Conducting a direct examination to enable you to most persuasively present the arguments for admissibility of the testimony.
- How to effectively cross-examine the expert to lay the groundwork for arguments that the testimony should be excluded.
- Oral arguments in favor and against admissibility of the opinion.
- Court rulings by a State and Federal Judge sharing their respective perspectives.
- Views from the bench and the do's and don'ts of taking testimony and oral argument.
- Panel Discussion
A reception for all attendees and members of the MBA , Worcester Bar Association and Federal Bar Association will follow the program.

Redfield is an Intentional Community situated in North Buckinghamshire, England. The house is a large old mansion with 17 acres of gardens, woodland and pasture surrounded by farmland.
Our legal structure is that of a Fully Mutual Housing Co-operative, where members are effectively both Landlord and Tenant. The legal structure merely forms the bare bones of a culture of collective living that has developed since 1978.We live as a single household which means that we spend a lot of time together. The rewards that flow from this way of life are many, varied and sometimes unexpected. Sharing your life in this way, with a group of like-minded people, makes for an active and involved life where something is always happening. At the same time the personal challenge that this creates should not be under-estimated. It constantly challenges us to take full responsibility for ourselves. Decision-making is by consensus of all members of the community at the weekly meeting. As well as community business there is space for feelings to be expressed in a supportive atmosphere. Communal life tends to highlight individual foibles and test self-esteem. As well as bringing us closer together, open communication and shared feelings are necessary to limit the scope for misunderstanding.Day to day life, whether necessary domestic tasks or large joint projects, is managed through the various systems that have grown up over the years but this is only a basis and lots of creative effort and joining in is always needed. As well as gardening, building maintenance and animal management there is logging for the wood-burning stoves and catering for events large and small. Some members also have jobs outside the community and these tend to be part-time to allow for full participation in community life. In recent years they have been as varied as working with children and older people, carpentry, computing, publishing, building, teaching, accounting, and planning. We all live in the main house and pay a rent based in part on the space we occupy. The size of this is determined by need and availability. No space is occupied permanently as moves within the house are occasionally necessary due to changing circumstances.
A central feature of our life at Redfield is that we eat together. At weekends there are often 20+ people in the dining room as our numbers are swelled by visitors; these might include official visitors, potential members, personal and community guests. Everyone takes part in the cooking rota and all types of diets are catered for. We keep sheep, chickens, bees and pigs which are owned by the community and are looked after by various members as part of their community jobs. Much of the house is communal space. The social hub of the community is based around the large kitchen, and the adjoining breakfast room, where there's almost always something going on. There are some very large rooms used for different activities like the regular sessions of singing, yoga and tai chi, as well as the extremely regular birthday parties. These rooms are also used for the variety of events happening throughout the year.

Unique And Beautiful Gothic Furniture Pieces
Gothic furniture is a very beautiful, unique type of artwork. Gothic furniture is characterized by ornate artwork that contains the same elements found in Gothic architecture. This architectural style is associated with church design, and Gothic furniture was created to complement it. Specific design characteristics that appear in the furniture are gargoyles, flying buttresses, and quatrefoil and trefoil shapes. Pointed arches, tracery, heavy fabrics, and heavy woods are some other characteristics of this type of furniture. Gothic furniture is very reflective of Gothic art, and motifs such as the linen-fold, the rose, and the wheel were imported from architecture and incorporated into furniture. Colors like gold, forest green, ruby, and purple were used to highlight the rich designs. The walnut,rosewood, oak, and other heavy woods used were finished with a dark patina. Rich fabrics such as leather, brocade, and velvet covered the frames as upholstery. Initially, Gothic furniture started out by being very practical, simple, and robust.
Sideboards and large chests in the Gothic style secured valuables and stored them safely. The feudal lords at that time engaged in warfare constantly, and the furniture had to be shifted around. Crafters added chair backs and feet to chests to make things easier. Tables, cabinets, chairs, and beds evolved over time to have many splendid motifs and great character. Initially decorated with paintings in the 14th century, the Gothic furniture began to feature more sculpted ornaments later on.
Grand Dining Room With Ornate Mirror And Fireplace Also Gothic Furniture
Shopping for Gothic dining chairs or tables can be a very rewarding process because this type of furniture is quite dramatic and ornate.

Maurizio Cannavacciuolo, Fulvio Di Piazza, Francesco Lauretta, Marco Pace
June 22 July 29, 2017
Inauguration: Thursday, June 22 at 7pm
Curated by Francesco Lauretta
The Giovanni Bonelli Gallery in Milan presents a new exhibition project curated by Francesco Lauretta, artist and SACI Directed Independent Study instructor, who works with several MFA students at SACI. The exhibition presents the works of four artists – Maurizio Cannavacciuolo, Fulvio Di Piazza, Marco Peace, and Francesco Lauretta – geographically distant, but united by a common dedication: painting in peculiar times.
Each artist has an exhibition wall devoted to their work, with the addition of an "introductory" neon – conceived by the curator – with total freedom of expression and without a pre-arranged theme. The result is a journey of about twenty works, which is articulated as a story about a "total work" that can be seen, but also listened to with music by the artists, and appreciated in moments.
As for the title of the exhibition, the curator recalls the French Philosopher, Deleuze and the definition of an "idiot" as someone who simply does not know what everyone else knows or at least does not take that knowledge for granted…and that the idiot is perhaps one of the most revolutionary of people.
Francesco Lauretta (b. Ispica-Ragusa, 1964) is a multifaceted artist, with work ranging from painting to installations, often using heterogeneous and found materials. His work has been exhibited at Galleria Z2o, Rome (2015); GAM – Gallery of Modern Art in Palermo (2013); Ex-Cavallerizza of Palazzo Sant'Elia, Palermo (2011); Galleria Laveronica, Modica (2010 and 2008); Gallery Carbone.to, Turin (2005, 2003 and 2000). Among the group exhibitions he has participated in: Casa Masaccio, San Giovanni Valdarno (2015); Cloister of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan (2014); Rice – Museum of Contemporary Art of Sicily, Palermo (2011); and Red Bull Hangar, Salzburg (2010).

Hi there,
I really love having avocado on a slice of rye bread for breakfast.
With the formula for breakfast in the Bodytrimming phase:
1 x starch or non-starch carb (this can be the rye)
2 x proteins
Can half an avocado, as a good fat be substituted for something here?
Many thanks!
April 10, 2018 at 12:26 pm #64903
Hi Rose,
1 slice of rye bread would be your 1 serve of starchy carbs yes 🙂
As per the Food Servings Guide avocado is allowed (listed under Oils & Fats), however, we do recommend 1 serve as 1/4 of an avocado and no more than 2 serves in total of any of the fats or oils in the list. Therefore you could add avocado to any of your meals just keep this limit in mind.
You would then just need to add your 2 serves of protein to the meal, this could be in the form of scrambled eggs (1 cup of reduced fat milk + 2 eggs), or 2 eggs + 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt, 2 eggs + 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 100g salmon + 2 eggs or 1/2 a cup of legumes.

Great! Thanks so much for such a comprehensive answer 🙂

Good Morning
I just love the eggs poached in tomatoes. I didn't have any coriander so I substituted it with rocket. Is this ok to do..?

No problem with doing this at all!

Hi I have been having 2 weetbix covered with a shake made up of 1 serve natural weigh protein and 200ml skimmed milk ?
Is this a suitable breakfast once ketosis has been induced ?
April 27, 2018 at 8:03 am #66883
Hi Steve,
The breakfast meal during the third phase of Bodytrim consists of 2 serves of protein and 1 serve of starchy or non- starchy carbs, therefore you could have 1 serve of a high protein, low carb protein powder, 1 cup of milk and 1 weetbix.
Kindest Regards,

Hi, one more question please. With my smoothie, above, can I use almond milk instead of regular milk?
April 27, 2018 at 11:27 am #66906
Hi Rose,
Unfortunately almond milk (and also rice milk) is really quite low in protein (approximately 1g of protein per 250ml) so it's not a suitable replacement for cows milk (9g per 250ml), or soy milk (roughly 7g per 250ml).
Kindest Regards,
BT Nutritionist 🙂
April 27, 2018 at 11:35 am #66907
I thought this might be the case. Thanks for reply 🙂
August 6, 2018 at 6:59 am #75740
Hi, I'm a little confused as to which cows milk is best, Full Fat is best compared to skim milk & reduced fat? Also soy milk? What do you look for on the label? Is there anywhere on BT website that you can refer to for questions like these? How much per serve or per 100g to look for etc.?
Thank you,
August 6, 2018 at 12:09 pm #75788
Hi Donna,
Great question! We have found that some people prefer full fat milk and simply detest reduced fat while others prefer reduced fat milk. For this reason we have listed both full fat and reduced fat options on our Food Servings Guide, however, because full fat milk is higher in saturated fats and does have a higher calorie count we have suggested a limit of no more than 1 serve (equivalent to 1 cup or 250ml) per day.
Soy milk is a great alternative option for those who might not tolerate dairy so well. Soy milk is nutritionally very similar to cow's milk, especially if you choose one that is fortified with calcium.
The forums are great places to find answers to commonly asked questions. Have you found the Bodytrim Food Servings Guide on the website? This guide tells you what a serving size is for many different types of foods. Depending on the type of food, the level of different macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and protein) it contains can differ quite a bit, so it is a little difficult to give you an exact amount per 100g to look for that will cover all food types. We suggest using the Food Servings Guide and if there are any foods you are unsure about feel free to message us on the forum.
Kindest Regards,
BT Nutritionist 🙂

I've decided that since Tuesdays are my least favorite day of the week (combination of not even being halfway through the week, being tired from Monday and having 6 hours of class in a row) that I would stop trying to hide it. So, I introduce to you, Turbulent Tuesdays. I could've called it Bitching Tuesday. Or Catharsis Tuesday. Or Whine-and-Moan Tuesday, but those were not as, catchy. Let's say catchy.
So Turbulent Tuesday it is.
The idea is this: each Tuesday, I'm going to want to bitch to you, but I always feel bad, so now, I'm designating Tuesday as bitch-off day. Basically, I'm going to stop apologizing for whining on Tuesday (as for every other day, well, them's the breaks).
And in turn, you share whatever is making your life turbulent with the group (in the comments). Misery LOVES
competition company. Let's keep each other company.
Today for me was a did-you-know day.
Did you know...
-that going to a 4 hour professional development conference is really really really helpful when you're quitting said profession in 2 months?
-that if during Monday's professional development conference you accidentally drink out of someone else's drink, it will without a doubt, be the most contagiously sick person in a 20 foot radius'?
-that it only takes about 24 hours for the first sign of a mother freaking cold to show up?
-that it's difficult at this stage to determine if it's a mother freaking cold from drinking after typhoid Mary or if it's the first sign of the flu, which is practically crawling on every surface at work?
-that the cost of a parking ticket for parking on the middle of the grass at the school is lower than the cost of parking in a parking spot in the lot without a permit?
-that next week I'm totally parking on the front lawn instead?
So, tell me: how was your Tuesday turbulent?

Not really Tuesday specific but it's looking like the leaking ceiling and moldy tiles, which have now been removed and not replaced giving my office a nice shantytown feeling, have given me a lovely mold allergy.
Yay five month chest cough and burning, twitchy eyes!! Oh and guess what? Turns out mold exposure can also give you headaches...explains why the drugs don't appear to be working.

Had appt with OB today for 12. This was the same appt rescheduled twice in Dec b/c of the DR, and twice in Feb b/c of conflicts with my kids schedules. So I am all ready to go, even though I don't really feel like it, I just want to get it over with!! then they call me at 11 to say the Dr is running behind b/c of surgery and could I just come next week. NO I CAN't b/c 1) I'll be out of town and 2) it is spring break and I'll have 2 screaming kids with me! So they "squeeze" me in at 2:45 for what they call an "Appointment" and I call it "a big fat waste of my time." I sat there, undressed, with a paper sheet over me for 2 FREAKING HOURS. By the time the good Dr came in, he asked if I had any problems, and I said NO. I was so tired and hungry and cold at this point, i just wanted out of there. Tell Slappy not to make his patients wait like that when he's a good Dr. Just schedule the patients further apart. There's no reason why I have to wait 2 hours EVERY SINGLE TIME! thanks for letting me vent. My hubby was beginning to worry about me!

Tuesday had a big sneezing fit in car on way to work and wet myself again. didn't even make it to work first and not a lot you can do about it on the I-10. The pads I wear catch most of it but not when I sneeze and make more than a dribble. I still gotta count on being so gregarious coming into work that people dont take their eyes off my face and see my wet pants before I can change them. Keigel exercises my ass, we're talking sneezes that would blow the windows out of the car. Gotta make a living but not sure how much longer I can take the embarrassment of being incontinent at work. Headache back all day again too. Painkillers for it make me constipated. That makes the hemmroids bleed. A lot. Wish I could sit in the tub and soak my ass instead of at a desk. Cancer sucks. Tired of trying to smile and be pleasant while wondering if people know my crotch is wet and my ass is red. Hard to concentrate.

I am late in replying we were out of town... my Tuesday was awesome, sorry. I don't know if I should say that or not but I had an over night date with my hubby on Monday night so my Tuesday was a blast...
But Monday night we got a parking ticket so we can classify that as part of my Tuesday because it was late Monday night. We were at an event and found street parking so we thought we were *lucky*. Only to return to the car and see the parking ticket... which was only $15 which was also cheaper than the event parking so we didn't really care!

Just got back from a trip to South America where we visited Machu Picchu, Iguazu Falls and took two cruises from Lima, Peru to Bueno Aires and then from BA to Rio and back to BA.
Here is the gear that worked very well for me.
First, the Daylight Backpack, DLBP. This became my personal item on the plane and my every day carry bag, EDC. Originally, I had equipped my S19 and S25 with padded belts and back panels for the journey but restrictions at Mach Picchu forced me to reconsider and I opted to bring the DLBP instead. Eventually, I ditched the waist belt as I am 6' 1" and it really didn't do anything. This pack did everything well. It easily fit under airline seats and was easy to carry even without padded shoulder pads. At 16.5 litres, it was hard to overpack and also to make it overweight.
For the plane, it carried a sweater, my meds, an ereader, sudoku book, all travel docs, and my side kick. The sweater worked best being shoved into the bottom of the pack next to my meds in a travel cube ( non TB). Ereader and book fit easily into the bottom pouch, while passports and docs fit easily into the upper pouch. When going through security, I would shove the SK into the DLBP and have a single item. In a pinch, I could also place my 411 bag in the pack as well.
For shore excursions, it would carry a sweater, rain jacket, a side effect with photo gear, the SK as my "murse", and I could still stuff 3 small water bottles into the pack. It was heavy, but since we were on buses, it was fine for a few minutes. For walking, I would drop the number of water bottles.
The outside pocket always had the same gear; small first aid pouch, some readily available meds such as gravol, antihistamine, and imodium, and a set of point cards in case I needed to communicate without a translator. I speak English and French, but not Spanish or Portuguese. It also has a spare house key on a tether.
My second favorite item was the Side Kick, SK, as my catchall. It carried copies of my passport and travel insurance docs on the outside pocket along with a TB wallet on a tether. The outside pocket can be secured with a nite-ese S-biner caribiner to make it a little more difficult for pick pockets. In the main compartment, I had tissue packs for the toilet, sun glasses, cell phone, pen, notebook, lenses for the phone and cleaning gear for the lenses. I used my cell phone as a camera and equipped it with lenses from a US company called moment. On travel days, I would carry my passport, boarding pass and second wallet in place of the camera gear. It was super easy to stuff it into the DLPB when going through security or at the gate.
As I am reaching the age of 60 this year, I come from the generation of men who shoved everything into their pockets. That simply doesn't work any more. I find that the Side Kick in black is a great catchall for thin items that can be stored vertically. Fat and thick items will be awkward.
The final item was the side effect bag. To be honest, I bought my first SE with my S19 and it stood unused for years. It got repurposed to carry photo gear for my camera phone. The first SE carried movie gear; a mini-tripod, a cell phone hand mount from Shoulderpod, and a microphone with wind sock. The second SE had a case for extra SD cards, a cleaning cloth, and an Itripp battery bank in case the phone ran low. Phone cables and cleaning cloth was stored on the outside pocket.
For the future, I have a 38L soft side carryon that was partnered with the DLBP but, as I have a birthday coming up, I might replace it with an A30, as it is very easy to over pack the 38L bag. We were under tight weight restrictions for both the regional airlines and the trains for Machu Picchu. They had a 9kg (19.8) limit on the carryon. Since I have finally relented and travel with a checked bag, I only need a carryon for 1-2 days emergency clothes. This is important as on our first cruise, a couple from Britain arrived without their checked luggage due to the drone incident. Their luggage arrived 4 days later. As I am not getting any younger, I want to limit the amount of hauling from place to place in the airport. An A30/DLBC might make a great combination.
Hope this was useful.

"As we move towards the bright season of light, remember that it is oh so nourishing and necessary to draw back into ourselves for healing…"
Our monthly Advance Your Practice theme will be Goddess Durga: Awakening Courage
Jai Jai Durga Maa!
Embrace the Earth Mother, the Divine Feminine, Durga–Shakti or Devi as she is also called. One of Durga's symbols is a bow and arrow, signifying great strength and yogic focus.
In this two-hour "Advance Your Practice" workshop, we will call upon the strength of victorious Durga to assist us into opening our hearts. In the physical practice of yoga, also known as asana, we will explore the metaphor of a bow through bow pose (danurasana). Our practice will lead us through a progressive series of heart openers so that we can explore upward facing bow or wheel pose (urdhva danurasana), forearm wheel (eka pada viparita dandasana) and king pigeon (eka pada rajakapotasana), with lots of opportunity for variations and modifications along the way.
As we move towards the bright season of light, remember that it is oh so nourishing and necessary to draw back into ourselves for healing, just as one would draw back your bow before extending the arrow of your energy out into the fullness of life. End class with a long savasana dedicated to the Goddess Durga. To experience this extended practice, register by May 11 and save $5. Are you a 3 OMS member? Save $5 AND get an additional 10% off! Register here.
I'm looking forward to sharing this practice with you!

Djokovic wins 2015 US Open
Novak Djokovic has won the 2015 US Open after beating former World number 1 Roger Federer.
Djokovic was able to beat Federer in 4 sets to record his 2nd US Open and his 10th Grand Slam title.
Despite playing in front of a heavily pro-Federer crowd, Djokovic stayed calm to win 6-4 5-7 6-4 6-4.
The win was Djokovic's 27th in 28 Grand Slam matches this year, with the only loss against Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final.
READ: US Open 2015: Novak Djokovic & Roger Federer Meet Again In Final
"It's been an incredible season, next to 2011 the best of my life," said Djokovic, who also won three Grand Slam titles four years ago.
"I'm enjoying this year more than I did any previous one because I'm a husband and a father, and that makes it sweeter."

Long Islander is elected president of state school boards association
Susan Bergtraum of Old Westbury, a longtime trustee on local and regional school boards in Nassau County, was elected Tuesday as president of the 5,000-member New York State School Boards Association.
Bergtraum, whose term begins Jan. 1, was chosen unanimously by more than 200 delegates at the association's annual convention in Manhattan. The group's presidents serve one-year terms and generally are elected a second time.
Lynne Lenhardt, the current president, serves on the local school board in upstate Bethlehem and on a BOCES board in the same region.
Bergtraum's selection as president-elect comes at a critical time for local school boards. Many are struggling with the financial effects of state-imposed property tax caps, coupled with more demanding state requirements for student testing and teacher evaluations.
In her acceptance speech, Bergtraum sought to remind school board delegates that overcoming day-to-day challenges -- important as those might be -- would not be the ultimate measure of their success.
"Instead, we measure success by the accomplishments of individual students who have passed through our districts' doors," she said.
Fred Langstaff, 71, of Sayville, a veteran of the Eastern Suffolk BOCES board, was elected second vice president of the state organization -- giving Long Island two of the association's top four positions. The other officers are both from upstate -- William Miller of West Winfield, who was elected first vice president, and Thomas Nespeca of Webster, re-elected as treasurer.
Bergtraum, 68, was a board trustee in East Williston, one of the Island's best-regarded districts, from 1991 to 2006. She began serving on the Nassau BOCES board in 2006 and currently is its vice president.
Bergtraum also has been on the board of directors for the state school boards association since 2005.
The last Long Islander to serve as president of the state association was Pamela Betheil of Mount Sinai, who held the post in 1998 and 1999.
