Special sausage squad at Croots to mark the World CupPublished On Saturday 31 May 2014 by Sticky Beak

Derbyshire farm shop Croots has created a special range of sausages to celebrate the upcoming football World Cup and to raise money for charity.
Butchers at the farm shop near Duffield are renowned for inventing unusual and interesting flavours – and now they plan to add the Bangerooney, the Costa Rican, the Italian and the Uruguayan to the shop's range in reference to the teams in England's group D.
To cheer on the England team, the Bangerooney is returning to the shop's sausage squad following its popularity four years ago when Croots ran a similar fund-raising effort for charity during the 2010 World Cup.
Ten per cent from the sale of each World Cup sausage will be donated to Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre, which is one of Croots Farm Shop's adopted charities this year. The charity was established in 1891 to give disadvantaged Derbyshire children holidays in Skegness, Lincolnshire, and currently provides 450 holiday places per season for boys and girls aged from eight to 14.
"We had a great response from our customers when we created special sausages to mark the World Cup in 2010 and raised more than £300 for a local charity," said Croots Farm Shop owner Steve Croot.
"Our butchers have been experimenting once again and have designed some excellent flavours to celebrate the tournament this time round."
The Bangerooney, named after England striker Wayne Rooney, contains pork with Croots Cow Juice Ale, which is a traditional old English sausage recipe.
The Costa Rican is made of spicy beef, while the Uruguayan is a tasty combination of pork and chorizo. Pork, tomato, mozzarella and basil have been combined to create the Italian sausage.
The pork used in the sausages comes from Packington Free Range Pork, in Staffordshire, while the beef hails from R & M Heath (Richard & Margaret) at Hazelwood Hall Farm, Hazelwood, Derbyshire.
The World Cup range kicks off in store on May 30th and will be on sale throughout the tournament, which runs from June 12th to July 13th, subject to availability.
Croots Farm Shop has won scores of awards for its sausages and meat products, including Great Taste Awards, the 'oscars' of the fine food industry. Two years ago the farm shop in Wirksworth Road developed an Olympig range of sausages to mark the London Olympics, which raised several hundred pounds for Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre.
Opened in 2008, Croots was a runner-up in the Best UK Independent Food Retailer 2010 category of the Observer Food Monthly Awards. The year before, it was named in The Independent's top 50 best food shops.
Croots Farm Shop is open daily from 9am to 5pm (Shires Eatery until 4.30pm). Croots runs Fresh Fish Thursdays between 10am and 4pm on Thursdays.

Straits Times publisher Singapore Press Holdings is to develop software to optimise headlines in a cooperation with A*Star's Institute of High Performance Computing.
The system will build on proprietary IHPC technology for sentiment and emotion analysis, first identifying elements of news headlines that are correlated with article popularity.
The partners will then develop a system that conducts affective analysis to predict the virality of an article based on its headline, which will enable journalists to test different headlines.
Past studies have shown that up to 80 per cent of readers only scan news headlines without reading the full articles, and that the news headline is one of the most important components in a reader's decision to read an article. While many news publishers put out simultaneous variations of headlines for the same article to test reader responses to each, the collaboration aims to isolate specific components of a headline that influence a reader's emotions and the decision to read the full article.
IHPC will work with the data science team of SPH's media strategy and analytics department. Three months ago, SPH announced a partnership with DC Frontiers to develop a content recommendation engine powered by machine learning.
Deputy chief executive Anthony Tan says headlines are a key factor in attracting readers to delve into an article: "This project will help our newsrooms better understand the emotional impact of different words and phrases used in headlines, so we can improve our engagement with readers and guide them towards important and informative news without resorting to clickbait."
• SPH has also announced a new digital image marketplace which will showcase its market-leading Asian contemporary culture and heritage photography.
Photonico is a product of SPH's new digital media product division, staffed by photographers, designers, SPHTech engineers and editorial staff.
Key to the project is the group's archives, which date to 1948, and a network of local contributors, with more than 12,000 images available.
Photonico will be featured as part of the World Press Photo 2018 exhibition from October 6-28 at the National Museum of Singapore. The exhibition showcases the 161 prize-winning photographs, as well as SPH photographers' best work from 2017 and 2018.

Printing Tips:
· When setting up a booklet or brochure, make sure your center margin is double the page margin. This will help to center your layout for folding
· When saving pictures, save them as .tif files. Saving files as .jpg files deletes information in order to keep file sizes smaller. This can result in decreased resolution when it comes time to print. A .tif is a larger file, but keeps all of the information needed to produce a sharp, clear picture.
· Remember, not everyone has the same computer programs that you have, or the same fonts. Make sure that your program and fonts are compatible with your printer before you start your project. It is easier to start your work in a different program than to have redo your entire project

Law of trusts was developed by part of equity. It is a body of principles created by the Courts of Chancery. Objectives of these principles were to rectify the strictness imposed by the provisions of common law. Further trust was an additional term to the law of property. This term is a situation in which legal title of property is held by one person but he or she is eligible to use this right for the benefit of another person. It is recognized a split between the beneficial and legal ownership. In general terms equity can be defined as collection of principles which are intended to complement principles of common law. Functions of equity is to mitigate the unfair or unjust impact due to rigid principles of common law. Main objective of equity is provide assurance of fairness. It is often at the expense of certainty in the law. Present report will include description of various aspects of law of trusts and equity. Discussion of the provisions will be linked to the case scenario of Hunter v Moss [1994] 1 WLR 452. It is a English trusts law case from the Court of Appeal. This case study was focused on the certainty of subject matter which is mandatory for the formation of trust.
English trust law
English trust law is focused on the formation and protection of funds of assets. These asset funds are usually held by one person for the benefit of another person. Trusts are formed on the basis of English law of property and obligations. It is developed by the parties because claimants were dissatisfied from the court proceeding with the common law courts in the case of property disputes. In general context trusts are created by settlor for beneficiaries. Settlor is a person who provides property to one or more trustees who use the assets on behalf of beneficiaries. Similar to the provisions of contract law there is no requirement of formality of formation of trust until and unless it is required by law [Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition 1985, Art 22.]. For the protection of Settlor, reasonable degree of certainties is demanded by the English trust law that trust was intended to be formed. Such requirement is imposed for the enforceability of terms of trusts [Gordon, K. 'The Certainties of Trust Vol. 158 (2006) Taxation Magazine]. Further it is also required by the court of law that for which assets trust was formed and which people will be beneficiaries of the trust. Formation of trust can be expressed or it can also be resulting and constructive. These trusts are formed through the automated operations of law for the prevention of unjust enrichment and for rectification of wrongdoings. Although resulting and constructive are not identical to expressed trust because it is merely formed to protect the rights of individual.
Trustees owe range of duties and obligations to the beneficiary. If duties and obligations are not described in the trust deed than trustee is required to avoid such actions which can lead to conflicts in interests of parties. Affairs of trusts is required to be managed with reasonable skills and care and all the act of parties should be consistent with terms of trusts.
Principles of the equity and trust law is as follow
Trust fund must be separately identifiable
As per the traditional principle of law property of trust should be separately identifiable from the other properties. For this case of Re London Wine Co. (Shippers) Ltd. (1986) Palmer's Co. Cas. 121 can be referenced. In this case court said that bottles of wine is not separately identifiable as a property of trust thus formation of trust was not valid. Decision held in this case is not consistent with the general policy of insolvency law[ Gordon, K. 'The Certainties of Trust'Vol. 158 (2006) Taxation Magazine.]. Similar case is cited in situation of *Re Goldcorp[ [1995] 1 A.C. 74]. In this case likely decision for segregation of property was provided. Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale v Islington [ LBC[1996] UKHL 12]is leading case precedent of the resulting trust. In this case decision was made by court of law that no proprietary equitable claim will be accepted without specification of the trust property.
Principle for intangible or exchangeable property
In exception to the general rule that "property of trust should be separately identifiable in the discussed subject matter of trust" further consideration is provided is subject matter is comprises of intangible or fungible assets. Identification of declared assets will be comparatively complex if it is not clarified that which part of the entire assets is affected by the trust. If assets is part of heterogeneous property than segregation is mandatory[ Pettit, P. H. (2012). Equity and the Law of Trusts. Oxford University Press.]. However if assets is homogeneous than validity of trust will not solely determined on the basis of certainties in subject matter[ Langbein, J. H. (2005). Questioning the Trust Law Duty of Loyalty: Sole Interest or Best Interest?. Yale Law Journal, 929-990.]. Stiff exception will be applicable in case scenario only if assets are homogeneous and intangible in nature for examples shares or money or bank balance. In the case of Hunter v Moss[ [1994] 1 WLR], court of appeal held that a trust for 5% of the share capital of the private company was defined in specified clarity. Although particular shares were not ear-marked by Mr Moss in any manner due to this it was not clarified that Hunter is entitled for which fifty shares. By applicability of the exception to the general rule court held that share will be transferred on the basis of pro rata. Outcome of the cited case was typical to reconcile with decisions of other cases where trusts were declared invalid. Thus interpretation was made by the common law that requirement of specification of trust property will only be applied in situation of common stock.
Nature of property for the formation of trust fund
Property for which trust is formed should be in accordance with the statutory provisions. Property for trust can be tangible or intangible in nature but should not prejudice to the interest of beneficiaries. Case of Don King Productions v. Warren[ [1998] 2 All E.R. 608 ] can be referenced for the nature of property for the formation of trust fund. This case was based on the partnership trust in which it was said that property considered should be appropriate else it will invalidate the objectivity of trust.
Different approach in commercial law
If there is commercial transactions between parties then different approach will be applied. According to the provisions of Sale of Goods Act 1979, s 20A provides exception to the sale of a specified quantity of unspecific goods[ Graham Virgo, The Principles of Equity & Trusts. (Oxford University Press 2012) 79. 3. ibid.]. For the applicability of this section following conditions are required to be satisfied-
1.Goods should be identical part of the bulk which should be identified either in the contract or through the subsequent agreement formed by the parties.
2.Price should be paid by buyer whether partial or full which are subjected to the nature of contract.
This exceptions were applied in the case of Re Wait [1927] 1 Ch 606 and Re Staplyton [1994] 1 WLR 1181 to provide appropriate just to the client.
Case: Hunter v Moss [1994] 1 WLR
In this case scenario Moss was the director and founder of Moss Electrical Co Ltd and he was owner of 950 shares of the company (total number of available shares was 1000 shares). He said to his finance director (Hunter) that he could have 50 of these shares as an employee in September 1986[ Othman, A. H. A., Meera, A. K. M., & Aziz, H. A. (2015). Micro-Economic Determinants of NAV of Islamic Equity Unit Trust Funds in Malaysia: An ARDL-Bounds Tasting]. For another 900 share Moss does not make any statement or trust. However he does not execute gift of 50 shares due to the tax concerns and from the risk of turnover. Basically Moss had changed his mind for the transfer of shares and he was giving merely excuses[ Sitkoff, R. H. (2004). An agency costs theory of trust law.]. Due to this Hunter claimed on the Moss for the transfer of 50 shares which was promised by him as an employer. In this case there was two main issues i.e.
- Whether language used by Moss for transfer of shares is appropriate for the formation of trust
- Second issue was created that trust was not able to satisfy three certainties due to the absence of segregation of shares.
(Three certainties- It is legal rule in English Trust Law based on the formation of valid express trust. As per this rule, instrument of trust must represent the object, subject matter and certainty of intention. It can be defined as clear statement in which testator of donor must show their interest for the formation of trust. It can be in any language[ Gardner S, An Introduction to theLaw of Trusts (3 rd edn, Oxford University Press2011)]. Trust can be formed by parties without using the word trust)
In this case application of provisions of three certainties will be as follow-
Certainty of intention- Donor should have clear thought for the formation of trust. In this case precedent, Moss had changed his mind for the transfer of shares and he was giving merely excuses thus intention of Donor was missing[ Slovic, P. E. 2000. The perception of risk. Earthscan Publications].
Certainty of subject matter- As per this factor, property for which trust is created should be identifiable. General rule for applicability of this factor is that property for the trust should be separated from the other property. If there will not be clear segregation then formation of valid trust will not succeed.
(In the case scenario of Re London Wine Co, claim was made by creditors on bankrupt wine trading company for the bottles of wine for which payment was made by them. In this case the main issue was certainty of subject matter that bottle was not identifiable. Thus Oliver J held that subject matter of the trust is a part of homogeneous production units thus along with the interest of beneficiary attached property should also be identifiable).
Certainty of object- Beneficiaries of the case must be identifiable. In the selected scenario beneficiary was Hunter.
By considering all the crucial facts of the case, court held that all the shares were identical in nature. However absence of segregation will not invalidate the trust formed by the parties. For the present case, Re London Wine Co (Shippers) Ltd was considered as standard case. It was because subject matter of the situation was potentially different as all the shares of the entity were homogeneous in nature[ Eden, P. 'Beneficial Ownership of Shares: the Implications of Re HarvardSecurities' Vol. 16 (2000) Corporate Rescue and Insolvency Journal.]. Still High Court Colin Rimer QC (Deputy High Court Judge) insisted that approval of Rollestone v NatioΑlastair Hudson, Equity & Trusts (8th ed. Routledge, 2015) pdfnal Bank of Commerce in St. Louis should be considered for the present case. In the cited case Supreme Court of Minnesota held that segregation of property is not required in such situations.
On the basis of following appeals court held that there is valid trust between Hunter and Moss. Further leading judgement was provided by the judicial person that trust is valid because fulfilment of terms of employment is mandatory for all the parties. In addition to this decision given in Re London Wine Co (Shippers) Ltd is too old to consider it in the present scenario. Further conclusion was given that there is no tangible difference between the shares of the company as these are not segregated by the owner.
This case is significant as it is commonly cited in the cases related to trust of intangible and identifiable property. On the basis of this case it is a statutory fact that it is not necessary to segregate identical property. If trust is formed for the tangible property such as land or materialistic thing then identification will be easy and appropriate[ Hansmann, H., & Mattei, U. 1998. Functions of Trust Law: A Comparative Legal and Economic Analysis, The. NYUL Rev., 73, 434.]. However if trust is formed for intangible property and there is no difference in units for the consideration of trust then segregation will not be essential. Further validity of trust will not solely determine on the basis on the fact that there is particular specification for trust property.
Situation if exceptions were not applied
If trust was created by Hunter and Moss for tangible property such as transfer of machinery or any other tangible benefit then it will be held invalid by the court of law. It is because in that situations facts of case Re London Wine Co. (Shippers) Ltd. [ (1986) Palmer's Co. Cas. 121]will be applied instead of MacJordan Construction Ltd v Brookmount Erostin Ltd[ [1992] BCLC 350]. Further if shares were classified by Moss in various categories such as right shares, bonus shares, general shares etc[ Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition 1985, Art 22.]. then also exception will not be applied in this case scenario because in that situation factor of uniformity will be eliminated from the situation.
Difficulties and recommendations
Provisions of the certainty in the subject matter is not appropriate for all the case scenarios because sometimes it can be unfair to the parties. For example in the present cited case Moss was making excuses and he changes his intention for the transfer of shares. It is unfair for the hunter as he is not entitled to avail the benefit[ Equity and Trusts (6th edn, Routledge-Cavendish 2010) 106.]. This issue can be resolved by implementing provisions of benefit where there is lack of segregation in the contract but there is proper intention of parties. It should be reconciled with the basis individual rights. For example in the situation of transfer of property if payment is made by the party but there is lack of clarification than either payment should be repayable or property should be transferred. Decision of the court should be just for the both of the parties.
From the above discussion and explanation of case scenario it can be said that objective of Equity and trust is to rectify the strictness imposed by the provisions of common law. Utility of equity is to extenuate the unfair or unjust impact due to rigid principles of common law. Main objective of equity is provide assurance of fairness. However it is often at the expense of certainty in the law. In the cited case in report " Hunter v Moss[ [1994] 1 WLR 452]", exception to the general rule is applied that property of trust should be separately identifiable in the discussed subject matter of trust. Through the application of the exception court held that share will be transferred on the basis of pro rata. Outcome of the cited case was typical to reconcile with decisions of other cases where trusts were declared invalid. Due to this issue interpretation was made by the common law that requirement of specification of trust property will only be applied in situation of common stock. If trust was formed by parties for property i.e. intangible in nature then trust will be held invalid by the court of law. Because in that situations facts of case Re London Wine Co. (Shippers) Ltd. (1986) Palmer's Co. Cas. 121 will be applied instead of MacJordan Construction Ltd v Brookmount Erostin Ltd[ [1992] BCLC 350].

On the train.
I feel like riding a train today, watching the world pass me by while I sit wrapped up in a jacket, clutching my bag on my lap. Maybe I'll slouch down and lean my head against the back of the seat, watching the plants and buildings swirl past me in a messy green and brown blur. I'll have my music streaming into my ears, my hand half in my bag, touching the smooth metal edge of my camera. I find it comforting to have my finger on it when I'm alone.
Maybe I'll listen to Secret Stars's "Some Sinatra," the sweet guitar and crooning voice filling my head and spilling out onto my face. That track always makes me feel this amazing mixture of sadness and happiness. It reminds me of my roommate in NY who was friends with the band and gave me a copy of the CD; I've played it to death ever since. (You can listen to the track on the MySpace page.)
There's something comforting to me about riding a train. I used to do it a lot, but haven't had the occasion to do it lately. I guess that when I'm feeling like I want to be alone, I want to ride the train. It's usually a solitary activity for me, and it's always been something very enjoyable. Maybe I'll get myself a 2 hour ticket and joyride the lightrail for a while this afternoon.
So I lied when I said mañana; 'cause our tomorrow never came…

Over the past 6 months we have been working on an entirely new website to help Miva Store Owners and Miva Developers find the information they are looking for quickly: docs.miva.com. Its goal is to take the enormous amount of documentation we have available for Miva and make it searchable and easy to find.
When starting this project we took a step back and came up with 3 guiding principles which we wanted to adhere to when architecting the new docs.miva.com:
- Everything Must Be Searchable
- High Maintainability (Easy to add and update content)
- Everything Must Be Output As HTML (and indexable by the search engines)
Global Search
To achieve the first goal, we implemented a brand new search feature which is able to search across all the different types of content we have available and return the top 5 results for each category:
For example when you search for "Coupons"
You see results from the Reference Guide, How to Guides as well as Videos related to coupons.
Reference Guide
One of the biggest hurdles was taking the 700+ page Reference Guide pdf which covers every aspect of Miva Merchant in great detail and convert it to HTML format for the web. Having it in a web format not only makes it searchable, but allows you to easily drill into the section you're looking for and find the information you need quickly.
Developer Docs
In addition to Store Owner documentation there is also a brand new Developer Docs site.
This is now the central location for all Developer Resources and API Docs. Here you can lookup mivascript functions, create free developers stores and install our Sublime Text Plugins for auto-completion and editing Miva page templates directly in sublime.
These new Developer Docs provide full documentation on the Miva Merchant Template Language, as well as (for the first time ever) every function available to call using mvt:do along with a reference example and function parameters.
Code Samples
One of the Developer Docs areas we're most excited about is the new Code Samples. We have over 50 common Code Samples with more being added each day. This allows us to leverage all the code we build and write in our Professional Services Department and share it with our community and all our 3rd party developers.
Want the code to pull in any image size you want on any page?
Or how about a full sample module on how to tie into Miva's new Scheduled Tasks?
Not only can you view the code, but you can quickly reference any mvt:do functions being used to see its function definition as well as view a demo on snippets.miva.com if applicable.
Docs.Miva By The Numbers
Total Pages of Searchable documentation: 5087 (and growing)
Miva Reference Guide: 217 Pages
Code Samples: 51
Mvt:do Functions: 4291
Videos: 177
How To Guides: 55
We're incredibly excited to get docs.miva.com launched and can't wait for everyone to start finding the resources they need faster.
Don't forget, to check out an early preview of all the Miva 9.0006 documentation.

How Do Windmills Work?
Windmills have been around for a very long time. Somewhere early on in mankind's history, someone figured out that you could use the wind to perform certain jobs that would otherwise have been much more difficult. In ancient Persia, a version of a windmill was used for grinding corn. In 13th century China, a windmill was used to pump water for irrigation. Later in Europe, windmills that resemble today's more modern versions were used for a variety of tasks. Many old windmills can still be seen dotting the countrysides, even as more modern windmills are being installed and used to provide an alternative means of energy. Yet how do windmills work? What happens if there is no wind? As the world today goes "green", here is some useful information that could help out the environment as well as save you some money.
What Is a Windmill? What Does It Do?
The word 'windmill' also refers to the original purpose of the structure. In much of Europe and eastern Asia, windmills were used to grind grain, thus a 'mill'. As the wind turned the blades, a large shaft would turn a heavy stone grinding wheel that crushed grain and made flour. It wasn't until some time later that windmills were used to pump water. Most windmills commonly seen across the American landscape were used for that purpose. These windmills were smaller than their European counterparts and had a small engine at the top that pumped the water. Recent innovations in windmill technology have led to what are now referred to as wind turbines. These modern day windmills use the power of the wind to create electricity.
There are two types of windmills; horizontal axis turbines and vertical axis turbines. Vertical axis turbines are uncommon. They closely resemble a giant eggbeater. The name is derived from the direction that the blades turn. Despite the difference, vertical axis windmills work using the same principle. Horizontal axis turbines are the ones most people are familiar with. The blades look like airplane propellers and have a similar rotating spin.
How Does a Windmill Work
There are two main uses for a windmill: pumping water and generating electricity. The basic principles for both are very much the same but it's the details that are different.
A windmill that pumps water, or a windpump, is used in many arid regions to provide water for crops and livestock. They are still used extensively today in some areas of Australia, Africa, and dry regions of the U.S. The main mechanics of the windpump is the pump rod and the piston. How it works is this: as the wind turns the blades, the pump rod raises and lowers the piston. The water from the well is brought to the surface when the pump rod raises the piston. Then the piston check valve closes and the water is held above the piston. As this happens, water is also drawn into the lower part of the pump cylinder through the lower check valve. When the pump rod begins to lower, the lower check valve closes and the piston check valve opens up. This allows the water in the cylinder to again pass through the piston check valve and so on. It is a constant pumping cycle that is repeated as the wind turns the blades.
The other use for a windmill is to produce electricity. A modern wind turbine is designed to convert the energy of the wind into electricity. The largest of these wind turbines can generate up to 6MW (that's mega watts) of power. That's really not a lot. A energy plant whose generators run on fossil fuels can put out anywhere from 500 to 1,000 MW of power so there is a significant difference.
Wind turbines work by their spinning blades catching the wind and turning a drive shaft that runs down to a generator which is at the windmill's base. When the blades spin, the drive shaft turns which causes the generator to spin. This creates electricity. It is the same as a traditional power plant except instead of the generator being run by gas or diesel, it is powered by the wind. Once the generator produces electricity, it is dispersed through wires to the appropriate homes or buildings where it is needed. This electricity is then run through wires that lead directly into the buildings where the electricity is needed. Windmills come in many sizes and all produce varying amounts of power. A single windmill might only produce about 100 kilowatts of electricity. Other larger windmills can produce enough to run a cluster of homes. In parts of the world such as Spain or the American Midwest, there are entire fields of giant wind turbines that produce enough electricity to power an entire town.
Why Windmills are Good for the Environment
Windmills that produce electricity are very eco-friendly. For one thing, they produce no harmful waste products. Also, they do not require consumption of a limited amount of natural resources nor do they endanger the environment through mining or drilling. The natural resource, wind, is already available and cannot be used up. As the concern about fossil fuels and the impact it has had on our environment grows, there are more efforts being diverted to finding renewable energy sources. However, here is the one catch about windmills. You have to have a wind supply in order for them to work. If there is no wind, the blades will not spin and nothing will be produced. Windmills are not very practical in areas of the world where there is little to no wind. However, as long as you live in a region that experiences plenty of wind, you will find that windmills are a cheap source of energy and can create electricity without the harmful effects.

It's rumoured all that he wrote was, 'Keep Europe White.'
(Daily Bruin) University police are searching for a man wanted for writing hateful speech in chalk on the wall of Kaufman Hall in late April.
According to a UCPD statement, a witness saw the man tear down flyers from the glass doors of Kaufman Hall about the migration of Africans to Europe. The man then chalked language on the wall about stopping migrant boats and keeping Europe white, UCPD spokeswoman Nancy Greenstein said in an email statement.
The man was described as Asian, 5-feet-9 and 125 pounds. He was wearing a dark green knitted sweater, khaki pants and dark brown boat shoes.

"An updated baseline-staging scenario for CERN's Compact Linear Collider focuses on an optimised initial-energy stage at 380 GeV that will be significantly cheaper than the original design, say Philipp Roloff and Daniel Schulte.."
Recent article in CERN Courier:
It has been proposed to convert the 200 MeV S-band electron linac CALIFES, currently being part of the CTF3, into a new general stand alone electron beam facility at CERN. CALIFES workshop is organised at CERN on 10-12 October to explore the potential accelerator R&D programme at such a facility.
The CLIC WORKSHOP 2015 took place at CERN on 27-30 January 2015, covering Accelerator as well as Detector and Physics studies, with its present status and program for the coming years. Workshop presentations here>>
The first prototype CLIC X-band module has been successfully assembled and installed in CTF3 during this summer. This big milestone was possible due to a motivated and enthusiastic collaboration between many individuals, groups and services at CERN as well as outside collaborators.
The CLIC accelerator collaboration has elected a new spokesperson. Phil Burrows of the University of Oxford succeeds Roberto Corsini of CERN. Read more>>
The CLIC WORKSHOP 2014 took place at CERN on 3-7 February 2014. A record participation of more than 300 scientists/students from the more than 70 collaborating institutes set the scene for a very busy and lively week. More information>>

Fat Grafting For Body
Free fat grafting is a surgical procedure where fat from another part of the body is injected or grafted onto areas requiring volume enhancement, to produce safe, long-lasting results with a natural look. Fat grafting is commonly used in breast and buttock augmentation, usually in place of traditional implants.
Free fat grafting usually involves extracting fat from one part of the body, washing and purifying it, and then carefully re-implanting it into the areas requiring augmentation. Changes to the contour of the body can be accomplished for a fuller or shapelier appearance. Any swelling or bruising should completely subside in 2 to 3 weeks.
The fat is usually extracted from an abdominal region, or from the thigh under the hip for a lean person. Depending on the person's body frame, different amounts of fat are required to achieve desired results. The addition of 200cc to the chest of a lean-looking woman makes a significant difference while the same 200cc added to the chest of a heavier-framed woman is barely noticeable, hence, the surgeon needs to assess an individual's build, height and expectations before customizing a comprehensive treatment plan.
During your consultation, we can include a virtual simulation to explore the types of surgical outcomes you can get from this procedure.
After surgery, the grafting adds volume and contours for a more feminine silhouette.
- 4 weeks after surgery: injected cells take their place, which in turn gives the person an appealing contour.
- 2 months: as the swelling subsides, some volume (20~30%) is correspondingly reduced.
- 2~6 months: the functions of grafted cells are temporarily suppressed, causing an uncertain reduction of volume.
- After 6 months: eventually, grafted fat tissues settle down completely and become semi-permanent.
Preparations before surgery
- It is recommended to shower before arriving for the procedure.
- Wearing jewellery or accessories is not recommended just before surgery. If possible, undergarments in contact with areas undergoing fat extraction should not be worn.
- It is important to fully disclose one's medical history to the specialists, especially those involving high blood pressure, diabetes, medication containing steroids or traditional medicines.

Our January/February 2014 issue (copies available online) features a recipe for Maple Oatmeal Scones. They are a perfect treat— especially when shared with a friend and a cup of tea! We are thinking that this weekend will be a good time to whip up another batch, since all of the ingredients are already in the cupboard.
The "For your country kitchen" recipe feature is from Lyn Slade of Charlotte's House B&B, Bolton, MA.
for your country kitchen
maple oatmeal scones
1/2 C milk
1 tsp vinegar (either white or apple cider vinegar)
3 1/4 C white flour
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C quick oats, plus a couple of tablespoons for sprinkling
2 Tbsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
1 pound unsalted butter
1/2 C maple syrup
4 eggs
1-1/4 C confectioner's sugar
1/4 C maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 400˚.
2. Mix vinegar into milk and set aside.
3. Mix both flours, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender, two knives, or your hands until it is in about 1/4" bits.
4. Beat eggs in a bowl and add maple syrup and soured milk.
5. Pour egg mixture over dry ingredients and mix by hand until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
6. Dump dough onto a well-floured surface and shape into two squared logs about 14" L x 3" W. Cut each log into 8 – 9 triangular scones. Place on two parchment- or Silpat-covered baking sheets.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking. Allow to cool on cookie sheets.
8. Mix glaze ingredients together with a rubber spatula, pressing out any lumps as you stir.
9. Dip tops lightly into glaze and set them back onto baking sheets.
10. Lightly sprinkle tops with oats.

Throughout the year, the National Pork Board is conducting a series of tabletop crisis preparation drills in various pig-producing states that center on the industry's response to a crisis such as the introduction of a foreign animal disease (FAD). In the first quarter of 2017, Checkoff's director of swine health and information, Dr Patrick Webb, led daylong drills in Illinois and Utah. To find out more on the content of these drills, he says producers and veterinarians can turn to the revised Transport Quality Assurance manual to read about crisis scenarios and to use the related planning exercises.
For more information, contact Dr Patrick Webb at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-223-3441.
New PRRS Research Book available
The National Pork Board's brand new porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus research booklet is the most comprehensive source of Checkoff-funded research ever available on the subject. This new version, updated and expanded from the 2012 edition, contains Checkoff-funded PRRS research from 1997 to 2016 that can help producers, veterinarians, and researchers alike to learn more about how to control this costly virus. The PRRS Research Book is available online at www.pork.org/research and in limited print editions.
For more information, contact Dr Lisa Becton at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-223-2791.
Pork Checkoff awards 22 science scholarships
Each year, the National Pork Board awards scholarships to students seeking to work in the pork industry. This year, Checkoff has named 22 annual scholarship winners representing 11 colleges and universities, with scholarships totaling $48,500. An analysis of education and career paths from the 2010 Pork Industry Scholarship program showed that 92% of the respondents are actively employed in agriculture and 75% of this group are specifically involved in the pork industry. The 2010 class recipients have advanced degrees, including seven with masters degrees, three with doctorates, and three with veterinary degrees.
For more information, contact Dr Chris Hostetler at email@example.com or 515-223-2606.
OMS expands outreach to nurse practitioners
Operation Main Street (OMS) speakers are now taking the pork industry's story to yet another key influencer group – medical professionals. Earlier this year, Illinois OMS speaker Megan Schnur, DVM, with Carthage Veterinary Services, presented to members of the Society of Advanced Practice Nursing in Springfield, Illinois. While preparing for the presentation, Megan asked the nurses what they wanted to know about pig farming. Their main interests were how antibiotics and hormones used in pig farming affect humans who eat pork, and whether humane animal care is a priority on today's pig farms.
To learn more about OMS, go to www.pork .org or contact Ernie Barnes at email@example.com.
Enzyme Webinar series coming in August
The Pork Checkoff's annual research Webinar series, which kicks off on August 1, will focus on "Use of Enzymes in Swine Diets." The four weekly Webinars will offer insights into how to use enzymes in swine diets to maximize nutrient uptake from fibrous feedstuffs, and will highlight related research projects. The Webinars will begin at noon (CDT) on each date.
- August 1: How dietary enzymes work – Dr Dean Boyd
- August 8: Gut physiology of pigs fed diets with carbohydrase enzymes – Dr Pedro Urriola
- August 15: Applying enzyme technology to optimize the utilization of fibrous feed ingredients – Dr Eric van Heugten
- August 22: Evaluation of the nutrient uplift provided by xylanase in finishing diets – Dr Merlin Lindemann
To register for these free Webinars, go to www.pork.org/animalscience. For more information, contact Dr Chris Hostetler at email@example.com or 515- 223-2606.
Secure Pork Supply work moves forward
Business continuity plan
Recently, the National Pork Board (NPB) asked the Institute for Infectious Animal Diseases (IIAD) to develop a white paper on domestic pork business continuity. It would provide an estimate for the effort and cost required for designing, planning, developing, and implementing a system that allows the US swine industry to collect, store, and share data between producers and animal health regulators for purposes of business continuity. In a workshop held in Des Moines in April, an industry group reviewed the white paper to determine if costs and timelines could be reduced if IIAD and NPB's IT department worked in tandem on the project. The collaboration is now underway.
Surveillance plan
Iowa State University's Center for Food Security and Public Health is beginning the process of developing a surveillance testing protocol (collection, testing, and reporting) for oral fluids using spatially balanced sampling. This is a new area of research led by Dr Jeff Zimmerman. A pilot project using porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) as the test case is set to start to show proof of concept. Following the pilot, investigators will produce a report for review by the PEDV Taskforce and the Checkoff's Swine Health Committee.

Employment Discrimination
The Pundzak Law Office has helped numerous employees recover from unlawful workplace discrimination. Lynn Pundzak also has provided advice to employers contemplating adverse employment actions and has defended many employers unjustly accused of discrimination.
Ohio law and federal law prohibit employment discrimination based on age (40 and over), disability, gender, genetic information, pregnancy, citizenship status, national origin, race/color, religion and veteran status. These laws do not protect an employee in one of these protected classes from suffering an adverse employment action. Rather, the laws simply make it illegal for employers to base their employment decisions on these characteristics. In other words, employers may fire (or otherwise take adverse action against) a pregnant employee, a disabled employee, an older employee, etc. However, an employer may not take that adverse action because of that protected characteristic.
Obviously, few supervisors tell employees that they are being disciplined or fired because of they belong to one of these protected groups. Discrimination is often subtle, and claims usually are proven by circumstantial evidence. Experienced counsel can help determine if discrimination can be proven.
What is adverse employment action?
This is decided on a case by case basis. The action must be (i) materially adverse (ii) to a reasonable employee or applicant. The Supreme Court of the United States has explained that "materially adverse" means that the harm must be significant. It also explained that the determination must be made objectively, and thus must be measured against how a "reasonable person" would feel or act.
Examples of adverse actions include:
- employment actions such as termination, refusal to hire, and denial of promotion;
- other actions affecting employment such as threats, unjustified negative evaluations, unjustified negative references, or increased surveillance; and
- any other action such as an assault or an unfounded civil or criminal charge that is likely to deter reasonable people from pursuing their rights.
Adverse actions do not include petty slights and annoyances, such as stray negative remarks in an otherwise positive or neutral evaluation, "snubbing" a colleague, or negative comments that are justified by an employee's poor work performance or history.
In the case of religious discrimination and disability discrimination, it may also be illegal for an employer to deny reasonable accommodations to an employee.
Sexual orientation
In July 2015 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) addressed the question of whether discrimination against LGBT individuals is covered by the ban on sex discrimination in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In a 3-2 vote by the five person independent commission, the EEOC ruled that existing civil rights laws do bar sexual orientation-based employment discrimination. The ruling will apply to federal employees' claims as well as any private employee who files a claim with EEOC offices nationwide. The decision states that sexual orientation is inherently a sex-based consideration and the agency will look to whether the employer relied on any sex-based considerations or took gender into account when taking the alleged employment action.
On April 4, 2017, a federal appeals court held for the first time that federal discrimination laws protect persons from discrimination based on sexual orientation. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which encompasses Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, ruled that sexual orientation is covered by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The landmark decision created a circuit split between the Seventh Circuit and every other court of appeal to have addressed the issue. Such a split may prompt the Supreme Court to eventually determine the scope of Title VII's coverage.
Lynn Pundzak has the experience and knowledge to help both employees and employers deal with these complex legal issues. Call her at 513-564-9999 for help with your unique situation.

Peach pink doors, which way?
This picture has got to be from Britain. They are known for having unique front doors on their homes and these are no exception.
These peach and pink doors are almost comical set back in the brick building. These neighbors must've planned this color combination because it works so well together, but I suppose one person could have painted first which lead to the inspiration of the next person.
Have you ever seen the book that showcases the colorful and unique front doors found in Britain? I can't think of the name of the book at the moment, but if you haven't seen it you should seek it out. There are some great photos throughout.
I am a bit jealous, I must say. I wish I had the nerve to be so bold with my front door. It is almost inviting instead of distracting, isn't it? Oh well, c'est la vie!
I wonder what other surprises Britain holds. We already know they have the largest Ferris wheel and Big Ben. There must be surprises around every corner of that country. Their dry sense of humor is definitely the food that feeds silly decisions like peach and pink doors.

Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin.
Historically, Baltic Amber has been used in Europe as a natural and traditional remedy and curative for many ailments for centuries. Long ago it was considered one of the leading 'medicines' of its time. Baltic Amber is the most esteemed amber in the world, and the healing qualities of Baltic Amber make it unlike any other type of amber found in the world.
When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin.
Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways.
Among other things, amber is a natural analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory. When amber is worn on the skin, the warmth of the skin releases trace amounts of healing oils on the skin. Commonly known as "teething jewelry," baltic amber has been a natural and traditional European remedy for teething discomfort for hundreds of years. To read more about the many benefits of baltic amber, click here
I was sent this 19" Light Mix Round necklace to try. It is suggested that to get the most benefit from your jewelry that you wear it all the time except for bathing and swimming pools. I have not worn it all the time, but I have been wearing it to work. I am a teacher in a child care center and you can imagine what kind of headaches I get from the noise level of say twelve 5 yr olds. I typically take migraine medicine almost every day that I work and with this necklace I have had to take medicine twice. While wearing this necklace I have started to feel the pain of a headache coming on and it would just go away on its own. While I was skeptical at first, I am now convinced. These necklaces are knotted in between each bead so if the necklace breaks for any reason beads do not scatter. They have a screw clasp and are meant to break if too much pressure is placed on them which is necessary when children are wearing them.

I didn't' t go to the flea market in a very long time, maybe since November? It was a cold and busy winter and I didn't have the energy or the motivation to go, even if it is one of my favorite things to do. But this Sunday was nice and sunny. It was a very good flea market day, with some good finds for my collection, with some relaxing time walking around and looking at stuff and also with some friends met there.
These are the things I have found:
An antique gold plated locket in a very good condition, with the two photos (of mother and sun, maybe) still inside under the clear celluloid). It's my new favorite from my collection.
An old pocket watch winder that I'll wear as a pendant.
A glass brooch ( I think it' from the forties).
This unidentified thing (maybe some fastening for a jacket?). I don' t know what I'll use it for, but I liked the acorn like shape and it was very cheap, of course.
An old wood and brass knitting doll for my collection.
And a pretty silver ring.

"We're going to be the only co-working space in not only Crown Heights, but also in a space that is close to neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy and Park Slope," Mody said. "We think there's a tremendous demand in these neighborhoods for this kind of space that has not been filled."
The Vault rented the Dean Street space for 10 years. The firm will be the building's largest office tenant and brings the property, a former Studebaker automobile repair facility, up to 89% occupancy. Among the other tenants include D'Addario Guitar, Praytell Strategies and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The building is owned by a partnership between Brooklyn Flea co-founder Jonathan Butler, BFC Partners and Goldman Sachs.
20,000 SF of primarily young, college educated people.
yup. Many will work long hours and want to no only eat and drink locally (Berg'n, I am looking at you), but also live locally.
Big 16 developments of mostly small, market rate apartments, I am looking at you.
I'm interested in seeing if this place will open once they have the majority of co-working spaces rented.
...and how long that will take.
In LA, it seems coworking places can legally provide bunk beds.
...but you are not supposed to get laid in them.
Whenever I am in 1000 Dean, it is cold in there. I might need a blanket to get laid or sleep.
I have witnessed several interactions in local coffee shops that seem to result in hook ups.
...I suspect a lot of people rent co-working spaces after finally admitting that they need more permanency than a coffee shop can provide.

The True Story of why we certify Architects
One upon a time there were great dragons to be slayed (or spayed). These dragons, dark and brooding creatures were called Architects. They spurned and rejected the great certifications of the gentle corporations as they offered them, saying "these don't meet my needs." Along came a great knight, Sir Andy of Ruth (heir to the massive Baby Ruth fortune so not needing to work or struggle with dragons, but doing so for his love of Architects) who sought to bring clarity (and certification) and to help those dragons become Certified Architects (and therefore to become nicer).
Sir Andy set out to create a process (called, a board, not to be confused with being bored) so that all who sought to break the yoke of blackness (i.e. architects who were tired of hugging their children and burning them with their fiery breaths) could band together and seek this "certification."
With the help of the Lady Kris, Sir Andy and a few less fiery dragons the process became a quest, or possibly a magic potion. Soon the word had spread from far and wide (and near and far as well) that this new program "MCA" could certify those brooding dark creatures known as Architects, and make them social members of a large and ever growing community.
And thus, the true story be told.

It's been a long time commin (CSNY).Remembered to get dowels at a hardware store a while back for my speakers.My speakers have a 10" firing forward and a 10" firing rear, both active. so I wasn't sureif the dowel tweek was going to work.Got 1 1/4" so I could use the spikes as stops. Spikes don't touch the floor with about 1/4" play from the dowel. Haven't been able to listen to music yet but gotta tell you what's goin on.My wife has the multi disc cd player full of an audio book and has listened to the book fora while now (28 discs) and I put the dowels in between her listening session. The narrators voicebecame way more clear and pronounced. I've got the telly hooked up through the stereo and it hasmade a distinguishable difference. Cleaner and more clear. Can't wait to put some music on.Dowels are probably poplar wood (store didn't know) and cost me six bucks for four foot. Now I'mwondering what other woods would do.Thanks Gary.Don

Oat Chocolate Chia Pudding
Oatly Oat Drink Chocolate is a Swedish dairy -free, soy free milk alternative. Oatly has been around for years, but has recently been given a make over. I have to say, as a vegetarian I really enjoyed the Oat Chocolate drink. Originally when I opened the container and poured it into a glass, I did initially think, oh that looks really watered down. It was then that I noted the words 'shake me'. I immediately screwed the top back on and gave it a good shake. It was much 'chocolate milk' looking. I really liked it, I would never have been able to say that it was a dairy free alternative, but perhaps that is because when I do drink milk, and it is not that often - it is the semi skimmed type, anyway, the chocolate flavour was enough for me. Not too sweet and not to weak
Other than just drinking the Oatly Chocolate, I decided to make a couple of recipes from it. The first is Oat Chia Pudding loosely based on my Raspberry Chia Pudding. Once the ingredients had swelled, I decided to blend half of it to a smoother texture. So if you look close at the glass, you will see the two different layers.
Instead of spooning the Oat Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding to chill overnight in a bowl, I decided to divide it between some wine glasses. Now how often do you eat breakfast out of a wine glass?!
The following morning I tucked in, I enjoyed how the Oat Chocolate drink infused the chia seeds, but am still getting used to the gelatinous texture that is very reminisce of tapioca and sago. You don't have to have this for breakfast, be a little decadent and pour over some Oatly cream.
If you like the look of this vegan recipe, then check out my vegan Hot Chocolate Brownies with Marshmallows.
Oat Chocolate Chia Pudding
3 tablespoons chia seeds
375ml Oatly Oat Drink Chocolate
Place the chia seeds and the Oatly Oat Drink Chocolate in a bowl and stir. Then chill for at least 30 minutes. Then transfer half of the mixture to a blender and blitz until smooth. Divide the smooth mixture between two to three bowls (or wine glasses), then top with the other mixture for two tone effect; or alternate. Chill overnight, before enjoying the following day. Oh yes, please do remove from the fridge at least 20 minutes before you want to tuck in, so that it can return to room temperature.

I love the layered look and breakfast from a wine glass but I am a bit wary of chia seeds in these cold puddings despite quite liking them in other food (my latest discovery is french toast - wonder if you could do chocolate french toast with this milk)ReplyDelete
Chia seeds are interesting. I've been very unadventurous with them so far. I tried eating them on their own but found they didn't taste of much, so now I add them to my museli mix, add the soya milk and leave the bowl to stand for a few minutes before eating. It makes my other museli ingredients like sunflower seeds easier to digest as well (or so I've read).ReplyDelete
The recipe looks really nice as usual!
If you've tried one of my recipes, Please let me know by leaving a comment below or tagging me social media with @SeasonalShaheen.
Thank You

Yesterday I wrote about trench construction (which you can read here) during World War I. While fragments of the original trenches on the Western Front still exist today and are preserved as reminders of the war, most are long gone, grown over with grass and wildflowers, reclaimed by the earth they were dug from.
But there is one man, a farmer named Jeremy Hall who lives just outside of Ipswich, England, who can walk out on his property and step back in time. Several years ago Taff Gillingham, a military historian, approached him with the idea of creating accurate trenches along a stretch of fallow land on his farm. Jeremy Hall agreed, and in ten days' time they had reconstructed an Allied trench using a 1916 British Trench Building manual. The structure includes latrines and a system of communication trenches. In 2006 they added a German trench (making sure that it was dug deeper and on the high ground). Between the two is an accurately depicted no man's land complete with shell holes, and trees shattered by shellfire.
Gillingham was charged with instructing the Downton Abbey actors about life in the trenches. Dan Stevens (Matthew Crawley) described the experience of filming:
The war scenes were very exciting to film. There was a network of trenches and it was amazingly authentic and incredibly muddy. It really gave you a sense of the environment–going over the top, guns firing, bombs exploding, men shouting and all the while the cameras are rolling. The adrenaline really went–it wasn't so much the noise of the bombs as that you could feel it in your chest. And then you would look up at the end of the take to see the crew completely covered in ash.
Downton Abbey was the first drama filmed at the Ipswich site, but several documentary films have utilized the reconstructed trenches.
You can learn more about the Ipswich site here, as well as see a video of the trenches here.

New to Talk Amongst Yourselves? Jump in and say hello! This is the Graveyard Shift—the nightly hang-out hosted by Kotaku's reader-run blog. Feel free to hop on in and join the discussion! When you're done here, check out the articles at TAY or TAYClassic! Or if this is your first time at TAY, check out this TAYtorial!
It sounds strange when I say it, but I think I might be enjoying the new Metal Gear Solid more than TUT is. I'm not basing this off of how much money I threw at Gamestop to get a collector's edition, or how many times I catch myself instinctively trying to fulton every cargo crate I see in any other game compared to how often he does that. Rather, I got way, way further in the game during a binge play last week than he did. He's been trying to catch up for a few days now, and it's incredibly hard not to have a talk with him about the game without just spouting out all of the spoilers I know.
As of right now, for all one of you named Steve who are wondering ('ey! Steve!), right now I'm looking at putting out the review after MGO comes out. That way, I have time to finish the game amidst coursework, and I can get a better grasp on how painfully bad they nickel and dime you for multiplayer is going to be—thereby, hopefully, giving me a more complete "review."
As a side-note, I'm still avoiding games media sites. I went to Kotaku today and saw they spoiled the tone of the ending. I promptly remembered why I stopped going to Kotaku and left.
Anyway, as a result of waiting for good company to have discussions on the game with, I've swapped over to Destiny for my study break game. The new expansion is pretty great, and there aren't nearly as many crates for me to want to pick up. Except in the Cosmodrome. But nobody goes to the Cosmodrome anymore.
All of this is leading up to the simple fact that I am horribly, horribly burned out on coursework. Like, positively fried. I don't know what the heck I did with all of those time management skills I had for the last few years, but I sure screwed something up. Anyway, sorry for not being around more. Doubly sorry, actually, since Nach just agreed to take over Wednesdays indefinitely for me, so you'll see me even less. Yay. We had a good run, guys.
But yeah, it's actually getting to the point where my free time barely feels like free time anymore—it's weird. Maybe I need some work detox or something. Hopefully Fall Break will be enough. Or just whenever I get past this stupidly large amount of projects.
Work stressing you out? School teachers/profs making you want to punt a small, furry animal? Feel free to vent about it down below. Otherwise, you're more than welcome to talk about life, love, gaming, or whatever else you desire. The Wednesday Graveyard Shift is now open!

- 55% of voters oppose the FWS proposal to delist grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Only 26% support delisting.
- More than two-thirds of Americans oppose opening up a trophy hunting season on grizzly bears in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Only 20% support trophy hunting.
- 50 percent of hunters nationwide oppose delisting of grizzlies. Only 33 percent support it.
- 62 percent of hunters support a five-year moratorium on delisting. Just 33 percent do not support the moratorium.

CONCORD — The House Judiciary Committee voted to essentially "kill" the resolution urging a review of Chad Evans' murder conviction.
Evans, formerly of Rochester, was convicted in 2001 of killing 21-month-old Kassidy Bortner, who died after suffering multiple bruises and head injuries. Serving a prison sentence that could last the rest of his life, Evans' supporters maintain his innocence.
The House Judiciary Committee recently considered a resolution urging the Department of Justice to re-examine Evans' murder conviction. The resolution claims that the jury in the 2001 trial was not privy to information that could have changed the verdict. It states the jury did not know that Kassidy had a heart abnormality, or that she had suffered several accidents in days leading up to her death that could have resulted in head injuries.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Strelzin, though, stated the information listed in the resolution would make no difference to Evans' second-degree conviction.
The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the resolution on Feb. 17 where committee members voted 10-0 to deem the resolution inexpedient to legislate. Despite the committee recommendation, the resolution will still go before the full House of Representatives, but the date for the discussion of the bill has not yet been set, said an assistant for the committee.
The resolution, HR10, was sponsored by state Rep. Max Abramson of Seabrook and state Rep. Dick Patten of Concord. Abramson, who is the primary sponsor, said Evan's case is one of the primary reasons he ran for the state representative position last fall. Abramson got involved in Evans' case after his own conviction on a reckless conduct charge, for firing a gun as a warning shot in 2010 while trying to break up a fight during a party at his home. After Abramson was convicted of reckless conduct, he began to research other cases of potentially wrongful convictions in New Hampshire. Evans' case is one of the first that came up in his research.
The resolution, pertaining to Evans' case, urges the Department of Corrections to hire an independent investigator to review the case and conduct interviews with those involved, including Evans, Kassidy's mother, and Kassidy's baby sitter. Abramson previously said that the funds that would be required for the investigation would be less than the cost of keeping Evans incarcerated.
Strelzin has stated that the Attorney General's Office had re-examined Evans' case and it did not make a difference in his second-degree conviction.
Vote renders Evans resolution inexpedient

Jim and his assistant are both miracle workers who truly have the finesse and know-how for getting bulky furniture through tight halls and narrow doors.

I contacted "Man with a Van", after having a bad experience with another Removal Company. From start to finish the service provided was excellent - I moved house on Friday, 27 October 2017.

Successful in government for the past 10 years and really Scotland's only option for a party to deliver on Scotland's issues.
After being let down by my original van man (down to not having a big enough van), I contacted Jim for a very short notice, next day (am) pick up & delivery. Jim provided me with a very quick quotation to do the works & within a short space of time, via email messages, we had agreed all the details for the job.The pick up & drop off were all a carried out in the agreed timescales & I couldn't be happier with the service which Jim has provided.I would have no hesitation in recommending Jim & his van.
