Benefits Street: Bromford announce 'Hidden Story' twitter debate
The content in this article may now be out of date. Please try searching for a more recent version.
On Monday 17th February, to coincide with Channel 4's 'Benefits Street: the Final Word' and 'Benefits Britain: The Debate' (8:30pm – 10:00pm), Bromford will be hosting a Twitter debate looking at how we can move forward with the issues raised in the show.
'Benefits Street', which attracts nearly 5 million viewers each week, looks at the lives of some of the residents on Birmingham's 99-home James Turner Street. Featuring notable characters like Fungi and White Dee, the show aims to explore the lives of people on benefits, and those who live in 'deprived' communities.
However, despite the show facing criticism from the media and receiving thousands of comments via Twitter, many of the real issues have yet to be addressed.
On Monday (17th February) we're pulling together a selection of panelists to have an open discussion on Twitter about the issues the show raises. We want to look past the controversial elements and focus on the solutions social businesses like Bromford can offer, as well as councils, landlords and health trusts.
John Wade, Bromford's Director of Support, New Ventures and Innovation and one of Monday night's panelists, said;
"The title 'Benefits Street' seems to have been chosen to be controversial and to provoke extreme responses from viewers and commentators alike. But we think that if you can look past the title and the white noise of criticism there is another, hidden story. Focus on the lives of the people living on James Turner Street and you see ordinary people doing their best to cope with life's challenges.
"The residents show great warmth and care for each other and have dreams of escaping the lives they currently have but don't know how to break the cycle. When we're watching 'Benefits Street', we shouldn't get angry or begin to condemn. We should be asking ourselves what could we do to help? How can we help unlock people's potential?
"As a business with the resources to help support customers who face social exclusion, we believe we have a responsibility to encourage this debate and come up with a way of moving forward."
Our panel includes:
Paul Taylor – Paul wants to explore how innovation can help provide solutions and overcome the negative stigma of benefits. Paul recently published a VERY popular blog looking beyond the controversy of Benefits Street.
John Wade – As Managing Director of Support, New Ventures and Innovation, John believes the support sector must take responsibility and action for some of the issues in the show. John recently wrote about how we must give the tools for people to help themselves, rather than simply giving them welfare.
James Walsh – James is hugely passionate about employment, and believes that when provided with the right opportunities and support, everyone will make the choice to help themselves be the best they can be.
Shirley Ayres - Influential commentator on social care and health, Shirley regularly tweets about how various sectors (such as health and housing, care and councils) can work together to better all communities.
Rebecca Daddow – Recovery and Justice Lead for Nurture Development (@NurtureDev), Rebecca's role entails supporting and researching recovery, rehabilitation and partnership working. Her interests surround 'Citizen development' and inspiring citizen-led social change
Get involved:
Despite having a panel, we want to everyone to get involved and have their say. Whether you're a social housing customer, receive benefits, work in housing, health, support, employment or local government, are currently unemployed or just have an opinion on the Benefits Street show, we want to know what you think.
Getting involved is simple. If you're a twitter user, follow @Bromford on Monday night from 8:30pm and get involved using the hashtag #HiddenStory. We'll be posting topics, but our panel will lead the discussion as we follow the points raised on Benefits Street: The Final Word and Benefits Britain: The Debate.
We'll also invite non-twitter users to get involved through an interactive discussion on our website, details of which will be published over the next week on the Bromford website at www.bromford.co.uk/news-hub.

Booth played 1 act of Hamlet one of Othello taking Iago and the Taming of the Shrew with Marion Booth as Katherine. Ole Bill played and Cary, Campanini, Gulani, Behrens and Vallina sang. Mr. Weeks called yesterday and asked my price for my Academy picture for a lady who wants a picture of mine. Today I painted on my "Uplands" all day and advanced it. Yesterday I painted on one of dear Gertrudes portraits which I brought down with me but not with much success. When I was home I went over to her grave and when I realized that all of her that "time could wither" was under that brown mound the earth grew empty to me and I had but one wish, to go to her. It is one of my sweetest thoughts now, to go to her, who can never come to me. I had a letter from Sara but my father does not seem to get any better. Wrote to her and to little Louise Weir.

Plot Synopsis
FARM KINGS is a reality series that follows the King family, as they run Freedom Farms to provide the Pittsburgh region with the very freshest produce possible while battling the elements -- and each other. Joe, the oldest of ten King kids, daily manages brothers Tim, the head of produce; Pete, the "Human Harvester"; Dan, the passionate wannabe-partner; and mom Lisa. From overnight bakery shifts and early-morning picking, to stripping down and selling their wares until sunset, the Kings lay it all on the line each week to bring their customers fresh, local food done right. As with any family business, things are bound to get personal, and these farm Kings must find a way to overcome their differences and balance the business and their family -- or see it all come crashing down. GAC aired a 30-minute sneak peek of this series on June 14, 2012 at 9pm ET. FARM KINGS returned for its second season on Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 9pm ET, as the family prepared for the new farming season by planting new crops and expanding the farm to include pigs and cows for their meat -- but not everybody agreed with the farm's new direction. GAC aired the Season 3 premiere of FARM KINGS on Thursday, December 19, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT, with the summer growing season winding down and the brothers tackling the long hours of harvest season. Plus, wedding bells were chiming for one King family member, Lisa's baking skills were challenged in a blind taste test in a pie bake-off, Pete hosted a wood-carving contest, and some of the boys got rough and rowdy at the demolition derby.
FARM KINGS returned for its fourth season on Friday, August 15, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT on GAC. In the Season 4 premiere, "Odd King Out" it's the beginning of the season and Boss Man Joe decides to hold a family meeting to assess the state of Freedom Farms. New titles and new responsibilities are handed out, but one of the Kings isn't on board with the new plan. Meanwhile, Lisa is spending her winter days at the new Sandwich Shop, where Joe has tasked her to whip everything and everyone into shape.

2014 Annual Report - Purdue University Calumet
Purdue University Calumet QuarkNet Center
2014 Annual Report
This summer was the inaugural year for the Purdue University Calumet QuarkNet Center. Dr. Neeti Parashar, Professor of Physics and leader of the High Energy Physics Program serves as the faculty mentor for the QuarkNet. In following with the structure laid out by the QuarkNet management, Purdue Calumet Center took off on June 9, 2014, for a 8-week program with the hiring of two lead high school teachers from the local region in Northwest Indiana.
Larry Hautzinger has been teaching for 23 years. He is a graduate of Virginia Tech with a Master's degree from University of Central Florida. He has been teaching physics, chemistry and biology at Munster High School, Munster, Indiana since 2001.
Adam Erler is a new teacher just entering the profession. He is a graduate of Southern Illinois University with a degree in Mathematics and a minor in Physics. He has taken a teaching position at Hammond Academy of Science and Technology (HAST) School in Hammond, Indiana.
The 8-week program was divided into two weeks of training in Particle Physics at Purdue Calumet campus in Hammond, Indiana and 6 weeks of research at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. The first week included Introduction to Particle Physics lectures given by Dr. Sudhir Malik, Dr. John Stupak and Dr Neeti Parashar. In the second week they worked on the Cosmic Ray Detector lent to Purdue Calumet by University of Notre Dame. This detector is a very fundamental experiment encompassing basic principles of physics, including particle physics. From assembling to taking measurements, to analyzing data, Larry and Adam single handedly performed all the operations, with minimal to no supervision. This was very impressive. Parashar visited the Purdue West Lafayette QuarkNet program to learn about their activities. Mr. Ken Cecire from the University of Notre Dame and the QuarkNet Coordinator came for a visit to Purdue Calumet to observe the progress of the program.
After 2 weeks, Larry and Adam joined Parashar and her team, Dr. John Stupak, the post-doctoral research associate, Michael Carter, Computer Science Master's student and physics undergraduate student Xuan Chen at Fermilab for a 6 week internship at Fermilab. The proximity of the University to Fermilab has facilitated this collaboration immensely. During this 6-week period they worked on two projects - the CMS Forward Pixel Detector and data analysis to prepare for their 2015 Masterclasses.
Purdue Calumet has historically contributed to the construction, operation, and software development of the CMS Forward Pixel Detector (FPIX). Given that much of the work on the FPIX upgrade is being performed at Fermilab's Silicon Detector Facility (SiDet), it offers a very unique opportunity for the Purdue Calumet group to be involved in. The upgrade of the LHC luminosity will present experimental as well as technological challenges in terms of large particle fluxes and high radiation levels. This would require a replacement of the current pixel detector, designed for an increased luminosity of 2 x 1034 cm-2s-1, in the first phase of the upgrade, called Super LHC Phase 1. The new Phase I pixel detector with four barrel layers and three endcap disks is being designed to minimize the material budget and increases the tracking points, and the development of a fast digital readout architecture, which ensures readout efficiency even at high rate. Preparations for a test stand have already begun. Stupak, based at Fermilab, is one of the responsibles in the development of testing protocols for readout chips and production modules. Larry and Adam contributed significantly to this effort at Fermilab, parts of which were shipped to CERN to be incorporated into the current detector for a pilot testing effort. Mr. Cecire visited SiDet to observe their progress.
The second activity that the lead teachers were involved in was to analyze and interpret the Masterclass data from previous years. They attended a Masterclass at Fermilab, where Parashar was a mentor to 3 international groups from Australia and one from University of Notre Dame. This provided a very valuable experience in terms of learning how scientist look at large data sets and make sense out of it. We shall all be working toward a 2015 Masterclass to be
conducted at Purdue Calumet for Munster High School and HAST students. Adam also attended the 5-day Data Camp at Fermilab that involved other QuarkNet teachers from all around the country.
This was a very enriching experience for Larry and Adam since they worked at a world-class laboratory facility and interacted with brilliant scientists from all around the world, while enjoying a very diverse culture at the lab. On their won, they also built a table top Cloud Chamber.
Both Adam and Larry are very excited to be involved with QuarkNet and take their students to a Masterclass experience. They also look forward to next year in working to bring more teachers into the fold. The plan for summer 2015 is to host a QuarkNet teachers workshop at Purdue Calumet with Larry and Adam as the lead teachers.

We are entering into the final few weeks of session, as we continue to watch several bills that could impact LAGERS. Back in January, I wrote about three bills in particular: House Bill 1329, House Bill 2044, and Senate Bill 628. All three of these bills contain language that would allow for Metro Planning Organizations and Soil and Water Conservation Districts to seek membership in the LAGERS system.
Over the past few weeks, both of the House bills have morphed into omnibus pension bills, each containing the LAGERS enabling language as well as other provisions unrelated to LAGERS that would impact other public retirement systems across the state. Another omnibus bill, Senate Bill 1021 has also emerged containing LAGERS language.
Testimony on these bills has been fairly uneventful in committee with LAGERS language receiving a wide consensus of support. Both House bills are now on the calendar for third reading in the Senate, meaning that both are very close to the finish line. Because each bill has been amended in the Senate, they would have to return back to the House for final approval before heading to the governor's desk to be signed into law.
As we head down the homestretch, make sure you are on our mailing list to receive any updates or calls to action. The last several weeks of session are typically a fast-moving time as everyone is attempting to get their bills passed. We will continue to closely monitor all pension issues during this time and send any special updates as needed!
Dates of Note
May 2018
11 – Appropriations Bills Must Be "Truly Agreed to and Finally Passed"
18 – Session Ends – 6:00 p.m.
July 2018
14 – Deadline for Governor to Sign or Veto Legislation

4 Gesture-Based Launchers For Android Compared
There are lots of great launchers for Android Which Android Launcher Should You Use? We Compare the Best! These awesome launchers will have your Android device feeling brand new. Read More , and these gesture-based launchers are wonderful additions to those. Think of them as secondary launchers that allow you to access your apps from any other app. They either work by swiping in from designated corners, tapping a notification, twisting your phone, or swiping up from a button, making the process of switching between apps even faster.
If you've ever wanted a quicker way to access your most frequently used apps, read on.
Slide Launcher
This gesture-based secondary launcher is activated by swiping up from your home button on the navigation bar, which is a neat trick usually reserved for Google Now. It can also be activated by holding the physical search button or camera button if you have one. Unfortunately, if you don't have any of those functions, like on my Samsung Galaxy S3, you'll need to download the TouchWiz plugin which will allow you to launch the app by holding the home button. The developer says they they're working on a function to launch it from swiping up from the button of the screen, but so far that feature is not included.
Aside from that, it's a very useful app. It launches quickly and has a gorgeous overlay that greys out the background and includes large, circular buttons. During setup, it asks you if you want the normal setup or advanced setup, and that can be changed at any time in the settings. This is a nice addition that can make it easier for novices to understand the app, but the advanced setup is also very customizable.
Its biggest drawback is not functioning properly without a navigation bar and requiring a plugin for TouchWiz devices. However, if it works with your device, it's a nearly perfect add-on launcher.
This one gets a bit different, taking a hint from the Moto X's wrist-twisting camera launching feature. The free version only allows for one function: twist your wrist twice to launch the camera app. The unfortunate thing is that it only works with the screen on. However, I was surprised at how well it worked, recognizing my gestures accurately every time.
With the paid $1 version, you can change which app it launches and use a couple of different motion-activated gestures as well. It's much different from the others since it only supports three separate apps and requires you to twist your phone around a bit, but it works as advertised. If that's your thing, Twisty is a wonderful gesture-based launcher.
For those of you itching just to spell out what you're looking for, Google Gesture Search is a fantastic free app for doing just that. Simply spell out whatever you're searching for, and Gesture Search will search through your phone. It can index apps, browser bookmarks, artists, albums, tracks, settings, and contacts. Each letter you type will be added to the bar at the bottom until you spell out an entire word, but of course, you can choose an app without typing out the entire name, and scrolling through the list doesn't draw a random letter.
The app worked very well in handwriting recognition department, but not so well with the motion activation feature. In the settings, it says that you should be able to launch Gesture Search with a quick double wrist flick, but it didn't work at all on my Galaxy S3. I'm sure this varies from device to device, so give it a shot with your own device.
Also, keep in mind that if you have it index your contacts, they will most likely drown out your apps (or maybe you have very few contacts and a lot of apps; I don't know you). For me, I think I'll keep it just for searching quickly through apps, but it has a lot of potential and I hope this isn't a project that Google kills off.
SwipePad – Hyperspace Launcher
SwipePad is a super fast way of launching apps from wherever you are. You select where you slide in from to activate it, as shown by the red bar below, and then slide in and release on the "portal" of your choosing. Since you slide in and release rather than sliding in and then selecting an app, the process is actually very quick. And to edit different portals, you simply hover over one until it turns orange. Plus, they seem to have somehow gotten around the 5 seconds after pressing your home button problem.
SwipePad is a tad boring; it doesn't look as nice to use as Slide Launcher, but functionally, it is very fast and efficient. If you're purely looking for performance here, then I think SwipePad is the way to go. You can read our complete SwipePad review SwipePad - A Stylish Quick-Launch Utility For Your Android Phone SwipePad, in its simplest form, is a quick-launch pad (for Android 2.1 and above). It constantly runs in the background (and takes up a line in your notification area). When you touch one of the... Read More to learn more about it.
Slide Launcher, and SwipePad offer some slick-looking ways to quickly access your favorite apps from wherever you are. Google Gesture Search takes a bit of a different route, allowing you to draw out letters or numbers to search through your phone, and Twisty gets even more creative, having you twist your phone about in your hand to launch apps.
Essentially, however you find it easiest to launch apps, you can bet there's an Android app for it. And if you've made it this far, I know you're at least somewhat into customizing your device, so you might want to have a look at these 5 launchers for Android Transform Your Droid: 5 Launchers To Replace The One That Came With Your Phone Android launchers are a great way to spice up your home screen with new graphics and new features. For the uninitiated, you should know that your phone already has its own stock launcher, but stock...

What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? An alpha test group for Clio. Hah!
Clio makes software for attorneys, and it's just taken in a third round of institutional funding — $20 million led by Bessemer Venture Partners.
The Clio product helps lawyers get a lot of their administrative tasks done automatically and in the cloud. This is especially useful at the typical U.S. firm, which has fewer than 10 employees, or sole proprietorships.
The cash will be used to hire a ton of sales people in Toronto and Europe. And Clio will likely be looking for mobile engineering talent, as well.
"We offer our customers one of life's most precious resources: time," said Jack Newton, CEO and founder of Clio, in a statement on the funding.
"We've found that our users save an average of eight hours per week, giving them more time to spend on life outside of work. This funding will allow us to further our reach and hone our product to continue to help lawyers focus on the parts of their business they enjoy."
Yes, let's all make the lawyers' lives fun and easy. That's karma at work.

Oil prices, now topping $100 a barrel, could hit $120, energy financier T. Boone Pickens, chairman and CEO of BP Capital, and an advocate of replacing oil with natural gas in some applications, told CNBC Friday.
"Be careful counting on the Saudis," said Pickens, a wildcatter who first gained notoriety in the 1980's as a corporate raider. "They [the Saudis] claim they can produce 12 million [barrels] a day. They won't let anybody audit the reserves or the production, so you're totally at the mercy of what they tell you they can do."

Praise for The Fionovar Tapestry
"Kay has delivered such a magnificent…volume that I can't praise it enough. The Fionavar Tapestry is a work that will be read for many years to come. It is a book that makes one proud to be working in the same genre as its author."—Charles de Lint
"I'm overwhelmed…The Summer Tree is one of those books that change your perception of the world forever afterward."—Marion Zimmer Bradley
"A remarkable achievement…the essence of high fantasy."—Locus
"Kay's intricate Celtic background will please fantasy buffs…in the manner of The Silmarillion, the posthumous Tolkien work that Kay helped edit."—Publishers Weekly
"Immense scale, literary richness and dazzling heroes."—Toronto Star
"Certainly this is one of the very best of the fantasies which have appeared since Tolkien, and I trust it will be recognized as such."—Andre Norton
"This is the only fantasy work I know which does not suffer by comparison to The Lord of the Rings."—Interzone
"Can be compared only with Tolkien's masterpiece. A passionate battle between good and evil…it delights the spirit."—Star-Phoenix
"Satisfying…a highly literate, lovingly detailed work of fantasy."—Fantasy Review
"Kay's bestselling—and stunning—fantasy trilogy finds its power not in its feats of imagination or world-building (though there are dazzling heapings of both) but from its rootedness in the reality of human emotions and relationships."—The Globe and Mail
"A grand galloping narrative…reverberates with centuries of mythic and incantory implications—with a little Prince Hal and Falstaff on the side."—Christian Science Monitor
"The Fionavar Tapestry, when all is said and done, is one of the most beautifully written and moving fantasy trilogies ever written. Those are very large words, but I truly believe this book is large enough to fit into such a reputation."—Green Man Review

This is a mockup using two reference photos that I will be doing a Father's Day commission for. I am really excited as the photos are just awesome both in quality and the character and emotion that has been captured. I honestly can't stop smiling everytime I look at it already, I think it is going to be really sweet :)
The portrait in total will be 18 x 24 which will be really great as well as I will be able to capture so much detail. I started on the outline sketch today so hopefully will have an update tomorrow!

CRL and the Law Library Microform Consortium (LLMC) work together to identify, preserve, and provide digital access to important, at-risk, primary legal and government publications from U.S. and other national jurisdictions. The long-running partnership (established in August 2010) leverages the membership and resources of the two organizations to:
- digitize and make accessible material identified by the partnership as strategic priorities;
- provide descriptive records and metadata to facilitate discovery through local catalogs and other discovery solutions;
- permanently preserve digitized print collections in secure storage and disclose holdings in the PAPR registry;
- promote the availability of new resources, conveying the significance of these materials to research; and
- represent institutional priorities through the institutions' respective governing mechanisms.
The Collection
The Global Resources Law Partnership digitizes critical primary source publications of interest to the CRL community and provides access to the rich collection of materials through the LLMC Digital database. To date LLMC has digitized over 25,000 volumes (over 19 million pages) of historical legal publications from CRL and sponsored collections. These include:
- U.S. state and Canadian provincial legislative serials, covering nearly every state and province (over 13,000 volumes);
- Historical legal treatises from CRL's collections (over 700 titles)
- African legal documents from the British colonial and post-colonial eras, selected from the Common Law Abroad bibliography (2001)
- Primary source legal publications from Latin America, including constitutions, laws, and civil codes;
- Comprehensive collections of historical legal documents and publications from Haiti and Cuba
- Rare official gazettes from North Africa, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf area; and
- An array of additional resources from South and Southeast Asia, Europe, and elsewhere.
A joint CRL-LLMC committee guides prioritization of collections for digitization. Materials are chosen that support the interests of CRL libraries and augment CRL collection strengths in area and international studies. Potential uses of LLMC-Digital content reflect the growing importance of primary source legal documents for social science and humanities research. Statutes, court journals, case reports, treatises and other legal texts support research on topics such as international relations, global trade, environmental policy, labor politics, civil rights, and immigration.
Scanning is performed primarily from hard-copy volumes. Preservation is central to the mission of LLMC, and print volumes donated for scanning are stored in a secure "dark" archive to ensure the survival of legacy primary government and legal publications.
Through the partnership, CRL libraries have access to the LLMC Digital database. As of April 2020, LLMC Digital included more than 15,000 titles in 123,000 volumes (over 80 million pages) covering the U.S., Canada, and a range of other jurisdictions.
Records for all holdings in LLMC Digital can be downloaded from OCLC through WorldShare Collection Manager. Records for materials digitized through the CRL/LLMC partnership are are included in CRL's catalog and can be requested from CRL for loading into local catalogs.
Content plan for 2017-2020
CRL and LLMC work jointly to set priorities for each three-year partnership cycle. Topics and volumes targeted for inclusion in LLMC Digital during 2017-2020 include:
- Up to 5,000 volumes US state legislative journals and gap materials to complete this collection
- 2,000 volumes of materials from Latin America, including codes, congressional reports and presidential messages
- 600 volumes of additional Cuban legal publications
- 200 volumes African documents and law reports
- 450 volumes from South Asia, Eastern Europe, and other areas as prioritized by the joint committee
Augmenting the work of the partnership in the area of State legislative journals LLMC recently began a major initiative to digitize the Early State Records microfilm collection, raising funds from among its members to scan records of the 13 original colonies plus Maine and Florida. CRL and LLMC are seeking funds to continue digitization of remaining states through Phase 2 (see CRL's review in eDesiderata).

The Firm has handled hostile takeover litigation and shareholder class and derivative actions in every conceivable takeover-related setting, including actions related to disclosure, defensive-measure and going-private transactions.
S&C has also defended special committees and handled regulatory matters relating to M&A transactions involving antitrust, insider trading, and disclosure issues.
From advice on deal structure to victory at trial, the Firm's formidable litigation experience in M&A transactions provides essential support to its M&A clients.
SELECTED REPRESENTATIONSSome of S&C's recent experience with M&A litigation includes representations of:
- Activision, in representing its chairman and chief executive officer and a partnership in which they were investors, in Delaware Chancery Court involving a transaction in which Vivendi disposed of its controlling stake in Activision. The transaction closed after the defendants' expedited appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court resulted in a reversal of the Chancery Court's preliminary injunction.
- Amgen, in litigation relating to numerous acquisitions, including its recent acquisitions of Onyx Pharmaceuticals and Micromet. In the Micromet litigation, S&C defeated plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction, which was decided by the Delaware Chancery Court shortly before the transaction was scheduled to close.
- Amylin, in expedited litigation in Delaware Chancery Court, and later in an appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court, relating to a proxy contest.
- Apollo (Mauritius) Holdings, Apollo Tyres and Apollo Acquisition, in an expedited trial in Delaware Chancery Court regarding their proposed $2.5 billion merger with Cooper Tire & Rubber Company. Cooper claimed that Apollo had breached the parties' merger agreement and, among other relief, sought specific performance to compel Apollo to close the merger before Cooper was able to file its third-quarter financial statements and after a series of disruptions including Cooper's loss of control of its largest subsidiary. After a three-day trial—held about one month after Cooper filed its complaint—the court found that Apollo had not breached the merger agreement and, accordingly, that Cooper was not entitled to specific performance.
- AT&T, in class-action litigation in California Superior Court relating to its pending acquisition of Leap Wireless.
- CIM REIT, in litigation in Texas state court involving derivative and class claims challenging a merger with PMC Commercial Trust. The case was settled on terms that resulted in the plaintiffs' agreeing to vote in favor of the transaction.
- Cole Holdings, in shareholder derivative litigation relating to the purchase by a Maryland Real Estate Investment of its adviser. The Maryland Estate Court granted Cole's motion to dismiss.
- Collective Brands, the owners of Payless Shoesource and brands such as Keds, Sperry Topsider, Stride Rite and Saucony, in a stockholder class-action litigation brought in Delaware and Kansas by investors seeking to block Collective Brands' proposed sale to Wolverine World Wide. Collective Brands completed its sale in October 2012, and the litigation was successfully resolved with a settlement favorable to Collective Brands.
- Columbia Pipeline Group, and its board in shareholder class action litigations in Delaware Chancery Court and in Texas federal court challenging the $13 billion acquisition of Columbia Pipeline by TransCanada, which closed in July 2016. The Delaware Chancery Court dismissed the action in March 2017. The deal closed on July 1, 2016.
- Cytec Industries, and its board in shareholder class action litigations in Delaware federal court and in New Jersey Chancery Court challenging the $5.5 billion acquisition of Cytec Industries by Solvay, which was completed in December 2015. After defendants moved to dismiss the New Jersey action, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed that action. S&C then successfully defeated a request to expedite the Delaware litigation, and that litigation was dismissed voluntarily in February 2016.
- Dole, as counsel to members of its board's special committee, in Delaware and California over David Murdock's buyout. S&C successfully persuaded the court in California to stay the litigation in favor of Delaware and persuaded the chancery court to deny plaintiffs' motion for expedition, which allowed the transaction to close following a stockholder vote.
- Fox-Pitt Kelton and J.C. Flowers, in derivative litigation that arose out of Bank of America's 2008 acquisition of Merrill Lynch. Fox-Pitt Kelton and J.C. Flowers, which acted as Bank of America's financial advisers, were charged with violating Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and state-law claims for breach of fiduciary duty, professional negligence, and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. In August 2010, the court granted S&C's clients' motion to dismiss in its entirety.
- Goldman Sachs in obtaining dismissal of all claims in a class action in Delaware concerning the acquisition of Blount by a private equity consortium.
- IntercontinentalExchange, in class actions in Delaware and New York brought by NYSE stockholders arising out of the NYSE's acquisition by ICE for a total of approximately $8.2 billion. S&C successfully obtained a stay of the New York litigation in favor of the Delaware action, and shortly thereafter the Delaware court denied a preliminary injunction motion. The plaintiffs thereafter voluntarily dismissed the cases.
- Kynetic, and its owner Michael Rubin, in Massachusetts state court over claims brought by former shareholders of Rue La La (a company purchased by Kynetic) for breach of contract.
- Ruckus Wireless Inc., and its directors in connection with litigation relating to the proposed acquisition of Ruckus by Brocade Communications Systems Inc. Prior to closing, litigation challenging the merger was filed in California Superior Court and in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The District of Delaware plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the closing of the tender offer, but withdrew their motion after S&C filed an opposition on behalf of Ruckus and its directors rather than file a reply brief. The District of Delaware litigation was later voluntarily dismissed. Following the closing of the tender offer, a separate action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. S&C represents the individual defendants in that litigation.
- Solera Holdings, Inc. in obtaining the dismissal with prejudice of a complaint filed by a putative class of former Solera shareholders, which alleged the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the approval of Vista Equity Partners's $6.5 billion acquisition of Solera.
- Tokio Marine Holdings, in a shareholder class-action litigation in the Delaware Chancery Court arising from Tokio Marine's acquisition of Delphi Financial Group, a leading financial services holding company conducting specialty life and property and casualty insurance and insurance-related businesses, for approximately $2.7 billion. S&C successfully defeated a preliminary injunction motion and achieved a favorable settlement for Tokio Marine.
- Volcano Corporation in obtaining the dismissal of the Verified Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint filed by Philips Holding USA Inc. former shareholders. The Delaware Court of Chancery held that a solid tender-off ratification was protected under the business judgment rule. S&C originally represented Philips, as the acquirer, as part of the same briefing. After the transaction closed, and with Philips' acquisition of Volcano, S&C became counsel to Volcano, working with all of the other defendants (as indemnified parties) to focus the briefing.

Dainty Doll Liquid foundation in '002' - Review
19 comments
I have this! :) I have it in 001 though! Fellow Casper! I use it on my good skin days & use Illamasqua Skin Base in 2 (my favourite) on my not so good skin days or if I want more coverage! The Dainty Doll concealer is amazing too though! I would definitely recommend it. So glad there are a couple more make-up brands for super pale skin now! xxxReplyDeleteReplies
I really want to try Illamasqua's skin base too, I've read alot of good review's on it!Delete
I agree- finally brand's are introducing a good range for every skin tone xx
I'm thinking of trying this Dainty Doll foundation too, as i'm pale as well as its always a nightmare trying not to loo Orange.ReplyDelete
I'm the same as you i like to swatch them, and thats the sole reason i was going to buy Danty Doll as i seen it finally had come into Boots in my local area with a big stand so i think it's a defo now!
Also try Illamasqua, that was my best before seeing dainty doll, it does a really good varitey of shades and i got one that was pale enough for me too, or get their white foundation to mix with cheaper high street brands that are slightly too dark, works a treat! :) x
Loz│NOIR │♥Replies
Ah I'd definitely recommend having a swatch of them! So lucky to have a stand in your local, I'd love to try other product's but just really prefer swatching before buying!Delete
I think I'll have to try Illamasqua's white foundation as that sound's so handy to mix

I've never tried anything from the Dainty Doll range but always been intrigued by it, I'll have a proper look next time I pass the stand! I recently discovered that No7 do properly light shades that aren't orange, I'm using their Matte Perfection foundation at the moment but I know they do a lot of different finishes/coverages depending on what you're looking for! xoReplyDelete
talbsx.blogspot.com | @talbsxReplies
Ooh I'll definitely have a look at No7 when I'm next in Boot's, thanks lovely xxDelete
It's so hard to find a foundation if you are pale! I went with Benefit but even their lightest shade isn't that light. I've yet to try any Dainty doll products but I've heard great things about it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Totally agree, it's really quite a task! Even some of they high end brand's were un-able to match me. I'd definitely recommend checking Dainty Doll out, I couldn't believe It actually matched me so wellDelete
They sell Dainty Doll in my local boots ;) though they don't have the liquid foundation, only the powder! annoying as I'd love to try it but like you hate buying without trying it first! I'm still never sure what foundation suits me as my skin tone is quite neutral, not really yellow or pink, argh!ReplyDelete
lovely review!
Ahh lucky! hahaDelete
I thought they were in a couple of Boot's but the lady said there's none on the system, so strange!
I'm the same with the undertone's but I find this work's really well for me, It lean's slightly yellow but I just blend it a bit more
You know it was only the start of the week when I was hunting for reviews on this so it's appeared at the perfect time. How long lasting is it on you? I struggle to find something pale enough that last more than a few hours, uni days I'm putting my male up on at 6am and sometimes not getting home till nearly 8pm!ReplyDelete
Aw yay, hope it helped!Delete
I find if I apply it at around 9-10am it last's until the late afternoon-early evening. I sometimes wear a primer underneath & a apply a little extra & then powder with msfn which keep's it on an extra few hour's. It isn't the most long wearing of foundation's but it does last well
I really want to try some things from the range but like you said its not the easiest to find in stores1 xReplyDelete
i have used this and being a fellow casper i used either 001 or 002 but i found that it went very patchy on my skin after a few hours so now i use the rimmel match perfection foundation in light porcelain it is exactly the same to this and alot cheaper :). xxReplyDeleteReplies
I'll definitely check it out, would be great to find the right shade of foundation for alot less! xxDelete
That Missha bb cream swatch looks like such a perfect match for my skin tone, definitely going to have to try it!ReplyDelete
Zoe | zozeze.com
I'm a casper too!!! I'd heard of Dainty Doll but the high price REALLY puts me off. I'd definitely try this now though, knowing that someone similarly coloured to me has given it rave reviews. I have to lighten every foundation I use, to the point that I am almost spendin the same amount as that one foundation on two different colours.ReplyDelete
Such a shame they don't do them in stores though...
I've struggled to find the perfect foundation shade for my extremely fair skin and the only notable foundation I've tried so far is the no7 beautifully matte foundation. I was colour matched to the lightest shade 'calico' and over the winter is still too dark but it's perfect in the summer (when I'm somewhat'darker,). I'll defiantly try out the dainty doll foundation, hopefully it'll be my perfect shade :)ReplyDelete
I'm a fellow casper too!! (Hiiiiiiii) I have this exact foundation and yes it's the right shade, but I thought it was such poor quality :( I have found a perfect match in the new super pale shade of the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation- Light Porcelain!! It's my saviour! xxReplyDelete

– Run for office
– Participate as a voting SPJ member
– Meet the candidates
– Regional Delegate information
Delegates at the 2011 national convention approved a bylaws change that transforms the way SPJ elects members of its national board. In the past, candidates were selected by chapter delegates. Now, elections are inclusive of all members one member, one vote.
Below, find everything you need to know to participate in this process both as a voting SPJ member and a candidate for office.
The information provided on these pages focuses on the election of officers. The Societys processes for bylaws amendments and resolutions have not changed. The chapter delegate voting system (link coming soon) is still in place for such actions.
Positions up for election in 2020
Positions on SPJ's Board of Directors
– President-elect (elected every year)
– Secretary-Treasurer (elected every year)
– Two At-Large Directors (two-year position)
Positions not on SPJ's Board of Directors
– Regional Coordinators for Regions 1, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 (each a two-year position)

How to participate as a voting SPJ member
In the past, chapter delegates elected officers and board members. Now all members can cast their own vote via an online voting system.
How youll hear from them
Because each member, near and far, has the ability to vote for officers, candidates have a few ways to spread their message:
SPJ Headquarters will send an email introducing all your candidates and directing you to their online information (if applicable).
Candidates may have blogs or social media accounts where members can connect with them.
During EIJ20, members can view candidate speeches online.
You'll find most of this information in the Meet the Candidates section.
How youll hear from us
Because the system requires electronic voting, we need to make sure we can reach every member via email. Make sure your email address is current by logging on or by contacting Matthew Kent.
Then what?
Over the next few months, you'll be able to learn about the candidates through the Meet the Candidates section, which will contain bios, video speeches and links to blogs or social media accounts where you can connect with them further.
Voting will take place electronically during the Excellence in Journalism 2020 conference, Sept. 10-12. Additional instructions will arrive via email, so make sure that information is up to date!

It's just a one-game suspension, but perhaps it will calm the basketball folk in Portland. Since Paul Allen's money couldn't get them out of this one, they wanted blood in retribution. And conveniently enough, well, here's Lamar Odom!
From the NBA…
NEW YORK, March 10, 2009 — Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers has been suspended one game without pay for leaving the immediate vicinity of the bench during an altercation, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with two seconds remaining in the third quarter of the Portland Trail Blazers' 111-94 victory over the Lakers at Rose Garden in Portland last night.
Odom will serve his suspension tomorrow night when the Lakers face the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center.

Highland — As the crowd thins, a man quietly approaches the granite slab at the American Legion Memorial Park. "Is your son on there?" he is asked. "No. I am." "John Gallagher," says the chief master sergeant of the 105th Airlift Wing at the Stewart Air National Guard base in Newburgh.
Highland — As the crowd thins, a man quietly approaches the granite slab at the American Legion Memorial Park.
"Is your son on there?" he is asked.
"No. I am."
"John Gallagher," says the chief master sergeant of the 105th Airlift Wing at the Stewart Air National Guard base in Newburgh.
He's the first name etched on a roll call of 45 local men and women who served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eight are there now.
The hamlet of Highland in the Town of Lloyd is a close-knit community of less than 10,000. So small, yet it's bled three times in three years for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The loss is so great that it merits a memorial. Not someday, when soldiers are hunched and gray, but right now, as the war soldiers on.
Here, Memorial Day shows up not as a day off, not as a backyard barbecue, or a chance to get the boat in the water. It appears as a crowd of friends and strangers, dabbing eyes and squeezing hands and touching names on a new monument.
"I don't want any more names added," says Gallagher, "and I don't want any more stars."
The stars in the stone mark Highland's dead:
Army Sgt. Eugene Williams, 24, killed March 29, 2003 by a suicide bomber near Najaf, Iraq.
Williams has a younger brother, Eric, nearly 24 himself. He did a tour in Iraq, too, and was there when news arrived that a taxi at a checkpoint had exploded next to his brother.
Eric just finished his first year at West Point. He showed up for the memorial's dedication yesterday, ramrod straight, his Army dress uniform propping up his mother and father. Eric's name follows Eugene's on the stone.
Army Reserve Spc. Doron Chan, 20, killed March 18, 2004 when a civilian vehicle cut off his convoy vehicle near Balad, Iraq. Chan's vehicle swerved and flipped.
The American Legion members who raised the money for the monument say the Chans are private people, not comfortable parading their loss in public, not even on the day made for them. They sold their Chinese restaurant on the corner, but sometimes, folks say, they see Doron's mother walking, and they say a little prayer.
Army Cpl. Michael Oremus, 21, killed October 2 by a sniper in Baghdad.
Oremus' family is easy to spot at the ceremony, wearing yellow "Michael Oremus Alumni Soccer" tees. They've started a foundation, www.michaeloremus.org to fund scholarships and youth sports programs.
Michael's unit is still deployed, its tour recently extended another three months. His mother wants to be there for their homecoming.
Memorial Day in Highland, says its supervisor, Robert Shepard, has grown bigger every year. "The loss of these three boys has put us back into reality," he says, drawing hundreds to the parade and to the park.
This community, he says, "understands what we're losing."

VIDEO | This is what I'm thankful for ….. Brought to you by Interfaith Caregivers
Author: Judy Steffes | Posted in Education, Washington County No comments
Jan. 13, 2018 – Washington Co., WI – Welcome to a new Sunday series as neighbors take a moment to give thanks for something in their lives that affected them this past week.
Jim and Nancy Harmon are volunteers with Interfaith Caregivers of Washington County and the couple are very thankful Interfaith Caregivers was around to help their family.
The Harmons invite you to chime in and let us know what you are thankful for.
Giving time to Interfaith Caregivers is a rewarding experience.
Whether it's driving a senior to the doctor, getting a group together to clean up an elderly neighbor's yard or simply folding a fresh load of laundry, your time makes a real difference! In the end, don't be surprised if you forget who's helping who.


text: The master-at-arms at Pyke and captain of the longship Foamdrinker, Cleftjaw is named for the horrific scar that nearly splits his face, making his smile a disconcerting and ugly thing. Now old, his name is still feared. He personally taught Theon Greyjoy before he was taken away as a hostage to Winterfell, and Theon calls him "uncle". The actor cast in the role is much younger than the actual character in the novel, clearly is not playing as if he and Theon know one another, and his horrific scar has been reduced to something much less significant.

Top 20 catchers, 1st basemen and 2nd basemen are in the books. What a strange, glorious trip it's been! Though not really. Today, the top 20 shortstops for 2013 fantasy baseball get to shine. Hmm… Actually, most of these won't shine. They're cloudy with a chance of crapballs. To be a bit more specific, the top ten shortstops were about equal with the 2nd basemen through the top 10, then they actually go a bit deeper than the 2nd basemen. Yes, shortstops are deeper. Barely. Mike Aviles was 18th overall for 2nd basemen, here he doesn't even make the list coming in 22nd. Either way, it's ugly. Okay, enough of the hubbub on the tomfoolery. To recap, this final ranking is from our Fantasy Baseball Player Rater with my comments. The Player Rater allows me to be impartial while looking at how I ranked them in the preseason. Anyway, here's the top 20 shortstops for 2013 fantasy baseball and how they compare to where I originally ranked them:
1. Ian Desmond – My preseason projections aren't that far off for Desmond. Few runs here, a little average there. I say this to illustrate how pee poor shortstops are. Desmond was ranked 6th in the preseason and, with around the same level season, came in a tie for first. Yes, a tie. More on that below. Preseason Rank #6, 2013 Projections: 68/20/77/.264/18, Final Numbers: 77/20/80/.280/21
1B. Jean Segura – For the first time that I can remember we have a dead heat in the top of the rankings for a position! Yes, that's as exciting as end of the season rankings get. Sue me for the 1/127th of a penny I made when you clicked on the page. I loved Segura in the preseason and told you to draft him everywhere. If you didn't, you weren't paying attention. Segura would've finished clearly in first too if Rudy didn't use some of his black magic to make sure he didn't reach 75 runs. Is it okay to say black magic? Or should it be African-American magic? Preseason Rank #16, 2013 Projections: 75/5/50/.282/32, Final Numbers: 74/12/49/.294/44
3. Elvis Andrus – Really surprised he only hit four homers and not my projected five. Kidding. I nailed this one, and he would be ranked seventh if the shortstops could've found four more top names to fill themselves out. I'm trying to make all of these recaps about this year and not next, but Andrus will only be twenty-five next year and could be ready to steal 45+ bases. How he hasn't scored 100 runs once in his career is slightly baffling. Not baffling enough to spend another whole sentence on. Doh! Preseason Rank #7, 2013 Projections: 91/5/60/.285/35, Final Numbers: 91/4/67/.271/42
4. Troy Tulowitzki – I think this is an organizational edict –> Tulo can't stay healthy, so they asked him to stop stealing. He wasn't unsuccessful a handful of times. He had one steal in one attempt. I wouldn't be surprised if that one steal was a botched hit and run too. Oh, and I have no idea what an edict is. Fooled you into thinking I was smart! Preseason Rank #1, 2013 Projections: 83/25/98/.288/7, Final Numbers: 72/25/82/.312/1
5. Hanley Ramirez – Somehow he hit .345 this year. Well, I know how. He was lucky. He had a .363 BABIP, which would've been top ten for all of baseball. He also managed a homer in just about every four games. The explanation of that was the 21.1% HR/FB. So he was hitting line drives for hits and every time he hit a fly ball it left the park. Hanley was pretty much the luckiest man to play baseball since Lou Gehrig retired. The sad thing for shortstops, because we always have to bring it back to shortstops and how pathetic they are, he only played a half a year and ranked in the top five. No one with less than 60 RBIs should be top five for anything. Preseason Rank #15, 2013 Projections: 69/17/79/.253/14, Final Numbers: 62/20/57/.345/10
6. Jed Lowrie – Went over him in the top 20 2nd basemen post.
7. J.J. Hardy – I said this a lot in the 2nd basemen recap and mentioned it again in Desmond's blurb, but to belabor the point. Hardy's projections aren't 15 ranking spots off. Maybe 5 spots. So if you jumped out of a DeLorean in March and told me Hardy would've had the season he had, I'd say, "Okay, so I'll rank him 17th instead, and this is the info you bring me from the future? Did they outlaw lotteries? The stock market? Anything I can actually make money on?" Preseason Rank #22, 2013 Projections: 68/20/79/.244, Final Numbers: 66/25/76/.263/2
8. Ben Zobrist – Went over him in the top 20 2nd basemen post.
9. Alexei Ramirez – We talked about the dearth of RBIs in the 2nd basemen recap. Today, it's runs. There were only 9 guys who scored 100 runs this year. 11 guys in 2012. 30 (!) guys in 2007. 35 guys in 2001, ending with your mom's lover, Corey Koskie. Alexei had 572 ABs in the three hole or higher this year and stole thirty bases and hit .284, and he got 68 runs?! White Sux, I know. But c'mon. Preseason Rank #24, 2013 Projections: 66/12/70/.259/12, Final Numbers: 68/6/48/.284/30
10. Brian Dozier – Went over him in the top 20 2nd basemen post.
11. Andrelton Simmons – Not a bad year for him, considering he popped out of Sigourney Weaver's belly in March. Preseason Rank #19, 2013 Projections: 56/5/67/.272/15, Final Numbers: 76/17/59/.248/6
12. Everth Cabrera – EverCab could have the key to translate stats for all PEDs users. He should've hit one homer and instead hit four. So, Barry Bonds hit 18 homers in 2001, which is less than Domonic Brown hit pre-All-Star break. Unless Brown was also found to be doing PEDs then Brown hit 6 homers. Now, Chris Davis hit 13 homers this year which beat Brady Anderson's Orioles record of 12.8 homers. See, how easy it is to make sense of PEDs-tainted records? Preseason Rank #17, 2013 Projections: 45/1/22/.240/35, Final Numbers: 54/4/31/.283/37
13. Asdrubal Cabrera – Had a pretty brutal year that proved further that his 'breakout' in 2011 with 25 homers, wasn't a breakout season as much as a 'get out of here, you liar' season. Granted, a 'get out of here, you liar' season doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same. He also dealt with some bad luck that lowered his average, but this is a team sport and the Indians did well–Oh, who cares, Asdrubal sucked. Preseason Rank #10, 2013 Projections: 77/17/86/.272/14, Final Numbers: 66/14/64/.242/9
14. Jose Reyes – When he had 4 homers and 8 steals at the All-Star break, I tried to get people to trade him away. After the ASB, 6 homers and 7 steals. Yay. Again with less emotion: yay. Omar Infante pfft's at that 2nd half. Preseason Rank #2, 2013 Projections: 110/12/60/.285/40, Final Numbers: 58/10/37/.296/15
15. Stephen Drew – This was his healthiest year since 2010, which allows us to see the upper reaches of his talent — 13 homers and a .250 average. Martin Prado called and said, "I pity you, fool." Preseason Rank #14, 2013 Projections: 42/15/55/.262/2, Final Numbers: 57/13/67/.253/6
16. Erick Aybar – I had high hopes for the Angels offense coming into this year, especially Aybar as its main benefactor. The good news is I didn't spend one-point-seven trillion to have my hopes crushed like Arte Moreno. Preseason Rank #12, 2013 Projections: 92/9/62/.292/24, Final Numbers: 68/6/54/.271/12
17. Zack Cozart – He wasn't Billy Hamilton in the minors, but he did swipe 30 bags one year. Now Cozart is looking as fleet of foot as Pedro Alvarez. Dusty Baker or his trusty toothpick must've put the kibosh on Cozart's running game. Phone rings. "Hello, this is Cozart's running game, who is this? Mark Prior's arm? You wanna have a word with me?" Preseason Rank #18, 2013 Projections: 72/17/81/.255/10, Final Numbers: 74/12/63/.254
18. Jhonny Peralta – Wanna know how bad the shortstops were? Exhibit A. A guy that missed 50 games ranked in the top 20. Oy gevalt! Preseason Rank #27, 2013 Projections: 56/15/70/.245/1, Final Numbers: 50/11/55/.303/3
19. Jimmy Rollins – And a guy that turned 50 years old this year ranked in the top 20 too. Preseason Rank #5, 2013 Projections: 88/19/61/.248/24, Final Numbers: 65/6/39/.252/22
20. Yunel Escobar – I've never embraced position scarcity, and the lack of shortstops doesn't have me changing that. I am embracing offense scarcity. I want you to write on the blackboard, "All hitters are scarce and pitchers are abundant and I will not waste chalk." Preseason Rank #26, 2013 Projections: 78/8/57/.261/5, Final Numbers: 61/9/56/.256/4
