I am slowly seeing my new studio come to life . The builders will finish the outside cladding tomorrow. We need to get the electrical wiring in and the concrete floor down as well. We have been waiting for someone to turn up since last Friday and finally someone came this afternoon and took measurements and will ring back a quote tomorrow, but said they were busy till next weekand and couldn't fit it into their work schedule till then, so either way I am left with my studio partly built.
Once the electrical and concrete work is finished the builders will come back and fit out the interior walls and someone will make the doors and window .
We will also need to have the paving relaid around the outside of the walls and we want to add a watertank as well so it will take a while before all these jobs are done.
On another note, I rang the foundry and they will be ready in 2 weeks for me to fly to Melbourne, to finish the artist proofs of Mary Mackillop minature, ready to take back to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church are producing an Edition of bronze minatures of Mary MacKillop.
I also finished another bronze for a client in Queensland and they received it this week and were very happy with it.
I also received an invitation to exhibit with Artistic License Gallery next July so I will need to get some new work on the go.
Cheers for now, I will try and post some photos with thisblog although I didn't get to post the last lot of photos.

Happy Monday! I've had lots of chats lately with people having trouble improving their lifestyle and making healthier choices. It's a hurdle we have all faced at one point or another (except for fitness professionals of course 😉…kidding, even me) and how we handle it makes all the difference.
If you realized you weren't treating your body well, what would you do?
We are faced with a choice to acknowledge where we can improve and ignore it, or we can commit to improving it. I know it sounds simple but acknowledging we aren't as healthy as we should be makes a big difference.
Acknowledging it also makes what we need to do a little more clear in your mind. Tell yourself what you need to do. Whether it is modifying your diet, strengthening your core for that old back injury or improving your cardio so you can do more of what you love, you have some ideas on what steps you can take. While you're at it, check in and make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.
Set a goal! Everyone's body is different, but set a 3 or 6 month goal, and a 12 month goal. Be really clear about what you want to achieve in 12 months (or whatever your preference, I use 6 months), and work your way down to the present setting smaller and smaller goals. Use these like stepping stones or prerequisites for the main goal.
Start small. You don't need to change everything at once, book a marathon or live at the gym. Accepting the 'balls to the walls' approach is great for some, but isn't sustainable for most. Pick an easy and a hard improvement and focus on those. This could be eating out less, drinking more water, adding 2000 extra steps each day or hitting the gym at least 3 times this week. Pick anything you know will get you to your goal that isn't overwhelming or unattainable.
Set weekly intentions. What will you do this week to get you to your goals? What do you need to accomplish this? How will you prioritise your time? Is this in your best interest or the others involved? Who will you show up as this week? Be clear in what your stepping stones are and manifest possibility.
Seek support. Having a hard time doing it on your own, you DON'T have to be alone in your goals. Tell a friend or family member what you would like to do and ask them to smack that doughnut out of your hand or remind you to drink more water. You can also seek the support of a personal trainer (that's what we're here for) or a nutritionist for guidance and accountability. Whether you need me once a week, once a month or for a friendly daily reminder, I am committed to helping you reach your goals.
Believe you can do it. Super cheesy I know 😂 but it's true. Be kind to yourself and trust yourself to make the right choices.

I know every word to the theme song for Paw Patrol. I can recite Goodnight Moon forwards, backwards, upside down, and inebriated. I spend the majority of my days creating with play dough, kicking balls, singing nursery rhymes, and playing make believe games with plastic toys. There are a myriad of reasons behind my participation in all of these activities, the most important being that they interest my children. I repeat. They interest my children. When the sun goes down and the babies are tucked in to bed, you will not find me re-reading Goodnight Moon for the kajillionth time. As it turns out, I have a few interests of my own and none of them involve pups who save the day.

Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The Athens News Agency at <http://www.ana.gr/>
[01] PM: Big battle to lift weight from Greek peopleAMNA/Greek prime minister George Papandreou on Tuesday appealed for a sense of responsibility, calm and unity on the part of everyone, including the political parties, in light of the "very big and tough battle we are waging to lift the big weight that has fallen on the Greek people from the debt we inherited, and to lift their share of the burden and the responsibilities".
In a brief statement before briefing President Karolos Papoulias on the recent EU and eurozone summits and a critical follow-up EU summit on Wednesday, Papandreou expressed hope that "we will reach decisions (Wednesday)", adding that "this is the determination of our partners, and ours as well", and noting that the discussion constantly returns to "the Greek, but also European, problem, to this crisis".amna
"Tomorrow (Wednesday) we want to be able to put an end, to turn the page, so that we, as Europe and as a country, can move forward," Papandreou added.
In statements to the press after the meeting, Papandreou said that finding a solution that is secure for the Greek citizens and lifting the immense burden his government inherited and which weighed on the backs of the Greek people is the dual national goal with which Greece would be heading to Wednesday's EU summit in Brussels.amna
Papandreou called on everyone to contribute to attaining the national targets, both regarding the outcome of the negotiations and the materialisation of the decisions that will be taken, and made special mention of banks that will be streamlined and which must contribute to investments in the real economy.
[02] Ancient Lappa, a city of extraordinary importanceThe island of Crete is full of stories of ancient cities, most of them written in archaeologists' and historians' books, as well as in folk lore passed on from generation to generation.
One of the most popular is the story of the ancient city of Lappa, later known as Lappi or Lambi, situated 27km southwest of Rethymno. Ancient Lappa was one of the most powerful cities of the Mycenaean era and is said to have been founded by King Agamemnon himself. The city played a very important role not only in Crete's politics but also in the Mediterranean. It is a geographical region with lush greenery, and extremely important finds, particularly from the Late Geometric Period.
During excavations, scientists unearthed the remains of the ancient city as well as a necropolis with limestone chamber tombs and graves carved in the rock. The necropolis as a whole is of immense archaeological importance and the monuments add to the knowledge of tomb architecture of the Roman era. The tombs date back to the end of the 1st and beginning of the 2nd century BC.
[03] Tourism revenues 10% up in Jan-AugAMNA/Tourism foreign exchange revenues were up 10 pct in the January-August period this year, compared with the corresponding period in 2010, totalling 7.718 billion euros, while tourist arrivals grew 9.9 pct over the same period, the Bank of Greece said in a report.amna
The central bank�s report noted that the tourism sector was taking a leading role in the Greek economy, helped by a strong recovery in tourist arrivals in the country. A total of 10.33 million visitors arrived in Greek airports in the January-September period this year, up 9.67 pct compared with the same period in 2010, a very significant figure for air travel in the country. Tourism industry officials expect foreign visitors numbers to reach 16.5 million euros this year, with tourism revenues rising more than 12 pct for the year. Industry officials said that a 10 pct rise in tourism revenues equals a 1.0 pct increase in the country�s Gross Domestic Product.

You only write code once, but read it many times. Having clean, organized, legible, intuitive, and understandable code is important for those who read it: whether it be for debugging purposes (yourself, a peer, or a TA), for style grades (a TA), or even for judging your coding abilities and organization (a potential employer/co-worker). Yes, your code may run and solve a given problem whether it is organized or not. But, writing your code in a clean and organized way from the start will benefit you in the long run.
Code must compile: Any code you submit must compile. If it does not compile, we won't grade the assignment and you will lose all the points for the assignment.
Don't repeat yourself (DRY): If you find yourself writing the same or similar code two or more times, consider whether it could be put in a separate method.
Break up large methods: If a method has many parts doing distinct and non-overlapping functions, consider breaking up the method.
Don't rewrite existing code: The Java standard libraries provide implementations of a great number of methods and data structures: use them! The java.util package will prove especially useful in this course.
Comments: Comment your code where necessary e.g. complicated functions, specifying method behaviors, stating invariants. When documenting methods, write Javadoc. Within methods, good style and good variable names are usually enough: don't over-comment.
You should adhere to the Google Java Style Guide with the following exceptions:
The easiest way to format your code correctly is to understand the style guideline and get used to seeing code that looks good. However, most modern IDEs and text editors have code formatters, which we encourage you to configure and use.
Upon submission, our grader will lint your code and point out anything wrong with your style, which you should fix.
Avoid public fields: Use getters and setters instead. If a class
Point has
an instance variable
x and you are working with a

not find yourself writing
point.x. Instead, declare
x as a (package-)private
variable, and write a getter method,

Wills & Probate Services
A will can help you; provide for your loved ones when you are no longer there to support them, use your remaining finances to help others with theirs, or ensure that your estate is not subjected to paying more inheritance tax than it should do. Although death is something most people do not like to think about, it is important that the decision of what happens to your money, property, businesses and possessions when you pass away is made by yourself. At Lawson Taylor our solicitors are experts in helping people make a will and advising on the issues surrounding this process.
Issues When Making a Will
The most important aspect of having a will is ensuring that you decide what happens to your estate. Without a will, it will be passed on according to the law and end up going to people or places that you may not wish it to. There are various issues that you need to consider during this process, such as the distribution of your estate amongst your children. You may believe that one of your children needs or deserves more of your estate than another. If you are in unmarried couple you can ensure that your partner is provided for. And if you are divorced you can decide whether your former partner is left with anything.
We will also advise you on how to keep it up to date. You should review your will every five years and after every major event in your life, such as a marriage, separation, birth of a child, moving house etc. Another service we offer is helping you set up a lasting power of attorney – a person who will represent or act on your behalf should you become unable to conduct your own affairs. We also offer representation and advice if you wish to contest a will that you believe has been changed or has not seen you receive what you were expecting.
Contact our Fiaz Siddique, Partner/Solicitor (SRA ID 411548) for further information.
We will act for you on a fixed fee service whenever available so you know what you are paying from the outset

Adult children of divorce (or ACODs) are often overlooked - you're an adult, right? You should be able to cope when your parents split up? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Coping with your parents' divorce can be incredibly difficult and emotional at any age. Divorce expert Karen Holden, founder of A City Law Firm, says there are 6 things to bear in mind when your parents divorce that can seriously help you through it.
1. Avoid taking it personally
This is easier said than done in some cases, but the right things are rarely the easiest. The actual divorce and (most) reasons leading up to it, don't usually have any relation to you and shouldn't affect your own relationships. From your own experience, you will know that relationships are complex and hideously multifaceted things, where many factors over a time have a cause and effect.
In the case of your parents, this time spans beyond your own life and will have subtle points of history coming into play that were remembered or perceived by one parent differently to another. Consequently, try not to start the 'what if' scenarios and apply anything about it to your own life. This road leads to insanity!
2. Don't form judgments on your parents
Try to avoid forming your own judgments on either parent for the separation. Sometimes the separation can appear to have an obvious 'pantomime villain', whereas other times there is no single reason. Either way, stoking the fires of blame and accusations rarely help parents move on, and in my experience instead risks polarising them to live up to that rather artificial perception.
During the separation, a lot of compromises and negotiation is required to find the best solution, and if one parent is distracted or putting energy into living up to their child's view of them, it can create huge boundaries to resolution. Parents are only human and will be worried about your reactions too.
3. Be supportive
Adult children can be an effective support for their parents throughout the process and ensure that their parents do not fall deeper down the rabbit hole of gloom or despair. The role reversal means not just looking out for their physical wellbeing and making sure they look after themselves (popping over with cake or for a good strong cuppa) but also their mental health. Be on the lookout for signs of changing behaviour, extreme changes in habits, insomnia and other indicators of depression which need to be captured quickly and early.
4. Remember you're in control of how you handle your relationship with your parents
Likewise, while relations may become strained between your parents, possibly even between you and one of your parents too if you have inadvertently become involved, you are now an adult and can decide how you wish to manage it all to ensure that you don't lose out on a relationship with one parent. For most people, you only ever get the one set and it would be sad to learn you lost it over something that had nothing to do with you.
5. Offer distractions
The best thing you can do is to help support your parents through it, help find practical points and interests to distract them and show that life is going on around them still. However, be mindful of your own health and wellbeing during the process, by having your own support network but consider your own professional help and assistance to talk about concerns - and not fall down the rabbit hole yourself.
6. Ask for help
Just because you're an adult, doesn't mean you can't ask for help too.

With IPL acne marks can be reduced or entirely gotten rid of. IPL is brief for Intense Pulse Light as well as while not a real laser treatment, both techniques rely on beams to get rid of acne marks.
IPL is regularly even more economically pleasant than laser treatments when it involves acne marks. Amongst the main reasons for this is that the IPL equipment is cheaper than laser equipment. Obviously, the skin professional or aesthetician can still bill you as long as they need, nevertheless, all various other things equal, IPL acne scars therapy can save you a fair little bit of cash.
The price of the treatment could not matter to some people, nevertheless, a few of us choose methods that will certainly save us cash money. Because of the reality that wellness insurance policy rarely covers IPL or laser therapies for acne, this becomes a lot more of an element. It is generally considered an aesthetic treatment, however, ensure to examine your insurance policy to see if the treatment is covered specifically circumstances.
Whether you go to a dermatologist or an aesthetician, what you really call for to keep an eye out for is exactly how competent they are with using IPL acne marks therapies. As long as the specific running the machine is for its usage, then you should see the results you are searching for. While IPL gadgets are sensibly basic, it can be comforting to recognize that you are treated with seasoned hands.
Some research studies have actually led scientists to believe that IPL acne therapies boost collagen production that makes the skin appear smoother as well as helps to lower scarring. IPL therapies are good for different type of scars, concerning any dimension, though you should review any concerns you have with the person doing your therapy.
Entering into the merits of the treatment, IPL, or pulsed light, releases a series of short pulses of yellow, green and red light. The green and yellow lights aim to destroy the bacteria that cause acne. Red light instead targets the sebaceous glands, trying to reduce their hyperactivity. The warming caused by red light also stimulates collagen production, which helps in healing and improves skin tone.
During treatment, patients are provided with glasses to protect their eyes from intense light, a cold gel is also applied in the area to be treated. The gel helps guide the light and cool the skin during treatment. Through an applicator, light is applied to the skin in short pulses of light, (less than a second duration). The applicator is then moved to another area of the skin, and the process is repeated until all areas affected by acne have been treated. Once the treatment is complete, the gel is removed and a moisturizing product is given to the entire affected area. Each treatment usually lasts about 30 minutes, and most patients require four to six sessions to achieve satisfactory results.
IPL treatment is not very painful, and no anesthesia is required for this procedure. The most part of patients feel mild to moderate discomfort, somewhat like a sharp feeling similar to a needle puncture, this is because the skin heats up with each pulse of light. For this reason, doctors recommend topical anesthesia using a topical gel to be applied 30 minutes before the session for three times. Anestop is an example of an effective numbing cream, with an immediate effect that allows the patient to have a relaxing experience. However, redness and a feeling of warmth in the skin are common after treatment.
And speaking of side effects?
There are some: firstly, discoloration of the skin in the treated areas, the skin becomes lighter or darker (this occurs however in rare cases); the second, hair loss in the treated areas can occur and can be permanent; finally, small bubbles may appear as a side effect of IPL sessions as well.
IPL treatments are not recommended for people with very dark skin or very tanned, and the treatment has not been proven safe for pregnant women. Those on prescription medications for acne treatment, like Accutane, should consult a doctor before undergoing IPL treatment.

New-look Marlins face off against deGrom, Mets
Despite not yet being one-sixth of the way through the season, the Miami Marlins are in the thick of a pennant race. What would be a better way to see how prepared they are for a postseason chase than by taking on the best pitcher in baseball?
The Marlins will look to win their third series in asmany tries this season when they visit the New York Mets in the finale of a three-game set between the National League East rivals.
Pablo Lopez (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is scheduled to become the first Marlins pitcher to make a second start this season. Miami, which didn't play from July 27 through Aug. 3 after 18 players tested positive for the coronavirus, is the first team in baseball history to start a different pitcher in each of the season's first nine games.
The Mets will counter with two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom (1-0, 2.12), who is lined up to make his fourth start of the year.
The Marlins missed out on a chance to match the best nine-game start in franchise history Saturday night, when their six-game winning streak was snapped as the Mets hit three homers in an 8-4 victory.
Despite the loss, the Marlins remain atop the NL East and in a playoff race -- granted, it's a 60-game season in which 16 teams will qualify for the postseason -- barely 10 months removed from completing a 2019 campaign in which they went an NL-worst 57-105.
No matter how the pennant race was generated, Marlins manager Don Mattingly is excited his team is involved in it.
"It's pennant race baseball -- it's the best," Mattingly said Saturday night. "Think about it: We're in August, and if you were in a normal season, you've already played a ton of games to get here. Every game would feel big. And that's what they feel like now."
There aren't many tasks bigger than trying to solve deGrom, who picked up where he left off last season. DeGrom, who is trying to become just the third pitcher -- after Hall of Famers Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson -- to win three straight Cy Young Awards -- has allowed just 12 baserunners in 17 innings while striking out 22 batters and regularly hitting 100 mph with his fastball.
"He's just the complete package," Mets outfielder Michael Conforto said after deGrom earned his first win of the season on Monday, when he allowed two runs over six innings in a 7-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves. "I'm kind of sick of talking about how good he is, but I'm glad he's on our team."
Lopez earned the win in his season debut Tuesday, when the Marlins returned to action and he allowed two hits while striking out seven over five innings while earning the win in a 4-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. He is 2-1 with a 6.75 ERA in three career starts against the Mets.
DeGrom is 9-7 with a 3.26 ERA in 22 starts against the Marlins.

Make-Up:Blush or bronzer?
Blush. I'm pale and scared of bronzer. I'd love to be able to wear bronzer but I've just got no idea. When I use it it doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference, probably because I use it with a very light hand. I really need to learn how to apply bronzer correctly. But even if I could apply bronzer I'd still choose blush, because when I don't wear blush people think I'm sick as I am so pale.
Foundation or concealer?
Concealer. I have dark circles that need to be hidden and foundation just doesn't cut it.
Lip gloss or lipstick?
I've always been a gloss girl however since I had Chai I've turned into a lipstick person. I like that the new formulas are more glossy and they last a lot longer than glosses do. I'll always love gloss, but at the moment I'm a lipstick girl.
Brushes or sponges?
Brushes. I love using sponges but they take longer, I have to be more careful with my application and I can't use them to apply eye make-up and blush.
Eyeliner or mascara?
Mascara. Eyeliner is great, but mascara makes such a big difference. Really I wouldn't like to have to choose one or the other, but if I was forced to it'd be mascara.
Neutral or color eyeshadow?
I'd like to say colour, but I have to choose neutral because that's all I wear now. When I was working I used to wear a different color eye shadow every day, but now I just swipe on one color all over and off I go.
Pressed or loose eye shadows?
Pressed. I am a klutz with loose eye shadows. I get them all over my face, all over the bathroom and it's one huge mess.
Body:Perfume or body splash?
Perfume. Body splash isn't really a huge thing here in Oz. I have a few body splashes but the scent doesn't last very long so needs to be reapplied constantly and I don't see the point.
Lotion or body butter?
That really depends on the season. In winter when I have dry skin I use body butter and in the summer I use body lotion.
Body wash or soap?
Body wash. I find soap is too drying for my skin so only use body wash.
Lush or another bath company?
I love Lush, they make some beautiful products, however I prefer indie companies such as Haus of Gloi, Moon Haven and Vice and Velvet.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and football's world governing body, Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), have agreed a four-year collaboration to promote healthy lifestyles through football, globally. WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and FIFA President Gianni Infantino signed the memorandum of understanding at the WHO's Geneva-based headquarters.
As part of the collaboration, the WHO will provide technical advice to FIFA on a variety of health matters, such as ensuring tobacco-free environments at FIFA events and encouraging national football federations to adopt tobacco-free policies, including at stadiums.
The organisations will also collaborate on joint programmes and initiatives to increase participation in physical activity through football, in line with WHO guidance, including working with national associations and networks of WHO goodwill ambassadors, football players, coaches and volunteers to increase physical activity through football.
"I am extremely happy to announce this collaboration with WHO. Football is a unique, universal language and we want to use our platform and network to support health initiatives and promote healthy lifestyles all around the world," said Mr Infantino.
This is not the first time that WHO and FIFA have worked together. The organisations co-operated to ban tobacco at football tournaments, including the 2018 World Cup.

If there is a better place to post this, let me know. I figured that since it is the Q&A section, it would be appropriate.
I am a college student that is working on a civic engagement project, and I have decided to choose Folding@home as my topic of discussion. For my project, in order to gain a better understanding of folding, its importance, challenges, and other information, I would like to interview someone who has experience and is a long-standing member of the folding community. The questions are fairly general, and it would not take long - just a quick online chat.
If anyone is would be willing to do this, please let me know, and thank you!

Most people in the wedding industry are here because they possess an entrepreneurial spirit. Beyond all the pretty, there's something inside us that pulls us away from the safety of a 9-to-5. We relish in setting our own expectations and goals as much as we do in the anxiety of a questionable weather report for event day and the frustration of a less than exciting lead pipeline. Like moths to flame, we're drawn to the risks and rewards of working for ourselves. This includes the important and unavoidable (yes, accept it) reality of failure. An absolute requirement for any business person, especially the entrepreneur, is the confidence to face and embrace failure. As we learn from the brilliantly gawky Woody Allen: "If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative."
Stepping Out
Entrepreneurship in its best form means stepping out of the shadows of your peers, your local competition and, yes, even your own. You've identified and wrapped your arms around your unique niche. You've targeted your specific market. With confidence, you're investing in what you do well and put passion behind your purpose. With that one simple fact, you have already taken a big, important step toward having the confidence to fail. You've narrowed your client base to one where you click the easiest and fastest. One where similar interests, personality traits and desired outcomes translate to customers who will pay you for simply being you. By reaching this level of definition in your business, you're diminishing your risk of failure and designating its range. No failure is a desired outcome but you'll be much more intent and invested in ensuring those errors never happen again.
The Smallest Loss
As an entrepreneur, it's not difficult to set yourself up for failure. Take advertising, for example. Every time you make the decision to place an ad, you're setting yourself up for failure. To put some numbers to that: according to Wordstream, the average click-thru rate for an ad on Google is only 3.17%. The average! Advertising is clearly a risk but with risk come great rewards. It's also estimated that two dollars are made for every dollar spent on a Google ad. The secret to success in advertising, just as it is in every aspect of our businesses, is trial and error. In every aspect and every attempt, be deliberate in your intent and confident in your effort to minimize the potential for loss. Instead of aiming for perfection, be in a constant state of perfecting and use each error as an opportunity to learn.
If You Don't Ask
You've heard this one before: "The answer to a question never asked is 'No' 100% of the time". If you don't work to build your network and talk to your fellow pros, you can't expect an overwhelmed inbox or a phone that won't stop ringing. As you define your niche and refine your processes and outcomes, connect, connect, connect. Ask for those referrals. If you get a "No" in response, learn from that "failure" and follow it up with a "Why?". Or, simply keep asking until you get the "Yes!" you're looking for and deserve.
Pro Tip: In a referral based industry, it is important to build strong relationships for professional referrals in addition to having an outstanding client experience for client testimonials.
You Do You
Quite often, fear of failure is the result of our willingness to compare ourselves and our work to others. Our social feeds are full of images and prose in posts from people we "know" with perfectly crafted images of their grass-is-greener lifestyles and businesses, it's no surprise. The truth is, we all simply want to be part of a winning team. Whether as a team member, vendor partner or client, we're influenced, inspired and motivated by those we keep company with. People with a positive voice, who work on their business as often as they work in their business, and exude confidence naturally draw people to their team. Even in the face of failure – a late delivery, lighting miscue or rehearsal gone sideways – keep your head held high. Failure is never final but each instance – and there will be more than one – will only make you stronger.

As the annual appropriations battle heats up in the United Kingdom, the country's former aid chief is calling on lawmakers to help promote its ringfenced budget for international development cooperation.
The call by Andrew Mitchell comes as Treasury chief George Osborne finalizes next fiscal year's budget, which begins April 1.
In his autumn statement, Osborne "promised to honor" the United Kingdom's commitment to increase foreign aid spending this year to 0.7 percent of gross national income.
"It's a historic moment for Britain. We should feel proud of that, as a nation, and it's a proud moment for me as a Conservative," he said in a recent op-ed. "We have not turned our backs on the poorest countries in these tough times."
But while there's strong commitment from U.K. leadership to protect the aid budget from cuts, there's increasing skepticism among the British public — a trend Mitchell acknowledged in an interview with BBC Radio's Westminster Hour.
"We need every member of the cabinet explaining to an admittedly skeptical public why this really matters for them, for their children, and for our country, as well as those we're trying to help," Mitchell told the broadcaster.
Justine Greening, Mitchell's successor as secretary of state for international development, did just that earlier this month in a speech outlining her vision for U.K. aid. In that speech, given Feb. 7 in London, Greening reiterated the importance to "drive value for money" in projects funded by the U.K. Department for International Development.
Mitchell's comments on foreign aid were among his first since leaving his post as development chief in September, when he became chief whip before resigning barely two months later after a reported confrontation with police officers.
"Every single member of the cabinet should be out explaining why we stand by this commitment, why we're doing it, why it really matters for Britain," Mitchell told BBC Radio. "Because if they don't, the public will conclude that this is some sort of detoxification measure for the conservative party. It isn't."
Asked how he can justify the government's aid budget, Mitchell mentioned the U.K.'s leadership on vaccinations and family planning in the past two years.
"As a result [of those priorities], Britain will be vaccinating a child, throughout this parliament, every two seconds, and saving the life of a child every two minutes from diseases that none of our children die from. On the family planning issue, we managed to get everyone to focus on the importance of giving the poorest women in the world the ability to make their own decisions about whether and when they have children," he said.
"It's quite right for a skeptical public who are seeing the reductions in public expenditure being made very close to home to say that if money is going to be spent overseas, we need to explain precisely why and what good it is doing. But equally, we have promised the poorest … we will do everything we can to help them. That was a British promise made by all three of the major political parties in Britain, and it's right that we should stand by that commitment."

TRNDlabs SPECTRE & FADER Drone
2017 is set to go down in history as the year of the drone.
Just a few years ago, UAVs were a niche product, used mostly by dedicated hobbyists and professionals who needed an aerial photography solution. Today their popularity is growing exponentially, with the industry almost doubling in size year-on-year.
Innovative companies like DJI are putting more and more power in the hands of consumers with each new release. Meanwhile, dozens of RC toy manufacturers are producing their own basic quadcopters.
Despite the huge choice available, what we've always felt is missing is a true entry-level drone. The premium drone makers are starting to make smaller, simpler drones but have yet to offer an affordable option for beginners, travellers, and people with a bit less income to spend.
We wanted to create something that was much more than a toy. A drone with real acrobatic capabilities that looks cool and gives the pilot a taste of the amazing innovations from the drone industry.
That's what led us to developing SPECTRE & FADER. We think it's the perfect choice for the curious gadget fan dipping their toes into the world of drones for the first time. On top of that, drone enthusiasts who travel often and agonise over leaving their prized quadcopter at home now have the option of bringing a small and fun drone on their trips.
SPECTRE & FADER are the drones for everyone.

The Totnes Growler
We made a quick visit to Totnes this morning to find a new growler for you know who.
Driving along Dartmoor looked great from a distance, thought you might enjoy the scene.
Quiet in Totnes. The growler shop is further up and past the arch.
The Tudor house opposite the van is the museum. In case you ever need to know.
Back home. It snowed again......
I put the wood wool away.
Growler is in place along side his original that hardly let out a purr.
Now he has a voice he is getting slightly pushy.
Climbing on the furniture.
Watching far too much television..... Might be getting spoilt....

I loved the photo of Dartmoor and Totnes looks like a very interesting place.
Teddy is certainly lucky to have landed at Soggibottom bear hospital. He is getting a new lease on life. I admire your skills.

He is looking so much happier will all the love and care you are giving him. Yes he is going to be spoiled;)
- 10 February 2010 at 04:04
Oh he is looking sooo much better now that he has had a bath and some new paint! Poor little guy. It's so sad to see such wonderful toys grow old and worn but it only means (we hope) that they have been well loved. I bet he is pleased with his new growler!
- 10 February 2010 at 04:44
Oh he can turn his head? I loved the pictures and Teddy is recovering very quickly :)

Nooo! Keep him away from the TV, it will rot his brain! (Then you'll have to go buy a new one of those too)

The pic of Dartmoor reminds me of 'Hound of the Baskervilles' and the Grimpen Mire!
As for 'The Totnes Growler' (as I shall now think of him), he seems to have a definite military bearing and would look good on horseback methinks!

Arkane Studios recently released 'Dishonored: Death of the Outsider' as standalone DLC for Dishonored 2 on PC, Xbox One and PS4. However, within hours of the DLC going live, several users reportedly started complaining of game crashes, skipped intros, and other problems while launching the game on PC.
It is reported that the issue results in a pesky error message saying: "Game Not Launching", and prevents players from starting the new DLC. After receiving complaints from several affected players, Arkane Studios has finally released a Hotfix to resolve the problem.
Game Not Starting Hotfix
Arkane Studios has just released a hotfix to patch up stability issues and launching problems with the new DLC on the server side via Steam. So, the next time you login to steam or launch Dishonored 2, it should automatically install the necessary patches or hotfix updates for the DLC.
Here is what Arkane Studios wrote on Steam regarding the hotfix:
"We have released a HOTFIX that we believe resolves an issue preventing some players from launching the game."
Some players reportedly tried to 'Change Locale for non-Unicode programs' as workaround for Game Not Launching Issue. The game developer has now advised gamers to "revert the change" as it is likely to result in "insufficient storage space error."
Skipping Intro Videos
In related news, several PC users reported that they were unable to skip intro videos in 'Dishonored: Death of the Outsider' DLC. However, there is a simple workaround to enable the option to Skip Intro Videos automatically.
Here is what you should do:
Step 1: Right Click on Dishonored: Death of the Outsider in Steam and choose Properties
Step 2: Choose Launch Options
Step 3: Add +com_showLoadingScreen 0
Step 4: Click OK and then close the window
Step 5: That's it. Just check if the issue is resolved by starting the game. If it's successful, you will be redirected to the Loading Page, and a few seconds later you will see Load Shaders and other loading options before Main Menu appears.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday symbolically tossed into a bin a Hamas policy paper published last week that set out an apparent softening of the Palestinian Islamist group's stance towards Israel.
In a document issued last Monday, Hamas said it was dropping its longstanding call for Israel's destruction, but said it still rejected the Jewish state's right to exist and continued to back "armed struggle" against it.
Netanyahu posts video to his Twitter page
Israel has said Hamas was trying to delude the world by issuing a new policy document that softens the Palestinian terrorist group turned political party's policy towards Israel.
"Hamas is attempting to fool the world but it will not succeed," said David Keyes, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu, in a 97-second video clip aired on his Twitter page on Sunday, said that news outlets had been taken in by "fake news." Sitting behind his desk, he said that in its "hateful document," Hamas "lies to the world." He then pulled up a waste paper bin, crumpled the document into a ball and tossed it away.
"The new Hamas document says that Israel has no right to exist, it says every inch of our land belongs to the Palestinians, it says there is no acceptable solution other than to remove Israel... they want to use their state to destroy our state," Netanyahu said.
Founded in 1987 as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the banned Egyptian Islamist movement, Hamas has fought three wars with Israel since 2007 and has carried out hundreds of armed attacks in Israel and in Israeli-occupied territories.
Many Western countries classify Hamas as a terrorist group over its failure to renounce violence, recognise Israel's right to exist and accept existing interim Israeli-Palestinian peace agreements.
Outgoing Hamas leader Khaled Mashal said Hamas's fight was not against Judaism as a religion but against what he called "aggressor Zionists." Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas's leader in the Gaza Strip, was named on Saturday to succeed Meshaal.
Netanyahu concluded his clip by saying that "Hamas murders women and children, it's launched tens of thousands of missiles at our homes, it brainwashes Palestinian kids in suicide kindergarten camps," before throwing the document into the trash.

An important message from De Yarrison, CPCC
Over the past 3 years, I have been slowly responding to the call to combine my coaching expertise and facilitation experience with my Christian faith and my deep desire for inner healing. In the summer of 2018, along with my sister Laura, I founded You Are Made New Ministry, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to help women heal from the effects of trauma, abuse and emotional wounding, through coaching, healing prayer, and retreats.
Since July of 2018, we have been steadily getting busier and busier (sadly, there are many many women in need of post-traumatic healing). I have made the decision to focus my efforts and resources entirely on this mission, effective May 1, 2020. As of this date, I will no longer be offering consulting, coaching or teambuilding through Essential Shift, LLC. Please consider the two references below for your business' needs:
- For Leadership Coaching Services please consider Jackie Lesser, CPCC. Jackie is a dear friend of mine and is the person I call when I need coaching!
- For Teambuilding and Team Development, please consider Donna Pastorok and the awesome team at The Adventure Network. Donna and I have been partnering to deliver top-quality team programs since 2002!
If you would like to learn more about You Are Made New Ministry, please visit our website or contact me at email@example.com.
With best wishes and much gratitude,
De Yarrison, CPCC

by Leonard Isenberg –
What is most disingenuous about the L.A. Times "Reporter" Howard Blume's latest article entitled "LAUSD chief signals desire to limit teacher job protections and change funding rules" is that virtually nothing in the article is even remotely true. And worst yet, ersatz "Reporter" Blume knows it's not true. But at least he's got a good excuse for not telling the truth, since at the L.A. Times, they have gone from 1400 to 350 reporters. And where all remaining reporters like Blume know full well that they too will be out the door, if they even attempt to actually report the truth as to what is going on at LAUSD and elsewhere.
Howard Blum knows the truth and at an earlier time in his reporting life, when he was a real reporter, Blum might just have posed some of the following questions:
You now talk about wanting to "limit teacher job protections," but given the assault LAUSD has already waged against more expensive high seniority teachers over at least the last 10 years for their sole "crime" of being at the top of the salary scale, can you tell me Supt. Beutner what real job protections do any LAUSD teachers still have?
How many thousand teachers with no prior negative evaluations- 73% of whom are over 40 and at the top of the salary scale- have you and your immediate predecessors gotten rid of on completely fabricated charges in order to balance your budget and avoid nonetheless impending bankruptcy?
If LAUSD is in such dire financial straits, why has the number of administrators dramatically increased over the last few years, while the number of teachers has gone down? Aren't teachers more indispensible than administrators?
If you truly believe that good teachers are so important, why is it that upward mobility at LAUSD is out of teaching and into administration? Given that good teachers work as hard, if not harder than administrators. Why not pay teachers more money than administrators, who in reality sit in an office and don't have to deal with overfilled classrooms of 40 plus students, the majority of whom are profoundly behind grade-level?
How can LAUSD "improve academics" by having your administrators continue a long standing LAUSD policy of intimidating teachers year after year into giving passing grades and socially promoting students, who remain profoundly behind grade-level? Doesn't this unnecessarily doom these once natively intelligent students to a life of what would have been easily avoidable failure through timely education?
You want "Sacramento to change the way it determines funding" to base it on registration and not in-seat attendance. But isn't there already chronic truancy that has gone unaddressed by LAUSD? And don't we have in-seat ADA, instead of payment by enrollment because of prior LAUSD manipulation of that system, when it was in place?
Haven't actual attendance figures already been doctored by your administrators in actions that amounts to defrauding of the State of California for Average Daily Attendance (ADA) money?
You say, "We need a transparent, efficient and fair process to manage ineffective teachers out." What about a process that removes ineffective administrators who fix grades, assessments, and attendance- which created the present problems- while targeting effective teachers who have the temerity of reporting blatant LAUSD corruption.
You talk about how "an ineffective teacher can cause students to lose more than a year of learning, which is setting students up for failure." But isn't the reality that it is the administration which has already year after year been setting these students up for failure by continuing to socially promote them year after year without mastery of basic prerequisite skills they would need in higher grade levels? Or put simply, why is the teacher "ineffective" if, for example, he is trying to teach a 12th grade Government class to a student with a 3rd grade reading level? Why aren't you questioning how this student got pushed through grade after grade without any administrator ever putting this student in an appropriate program at an appropriate grade-level?
Is it foreseeable that students put in classes years beyond their subjective easily verifiable level might be purposefully disruptive in class, instead of allowing themselves to be publicly humilated in front of their peer group with academic materials they couldn't possibly know?
Given the 50% turnover of teachers within 5 years, do you really think the problem is too easy tenure? Or is it the inability of teachers to teach because the vast majority of their students are not at grade-level due to LAUSD administration's complete unwillingness to take cognizance of where LAUSD students are really at academically and why?
You say "More state funding…is sorely needed." But how much more state funding would be presently available, if LAUSD administration timely dealt with an existing 52% chronic truancy rate that already profoundly cuts into LAUSD's Average Daily Attendance money from the State?

Baby Name Remorse: Helping Your Children Love Their Names
We all understand the magic and thrill of the baby naming process—whether you've named a baby or have just dreamed of doing so, poring over name lists, choosing your favorites, and arranging first-middle name combinations is fun and satisfying and ultimately one of the first important decisions you ever make for your child. What a gift and an enormous responsibility to be able to choose a person's name! It can be stressful too, yes, and we've all heard stories of name regret and read strategies to help avoid it, or manage it and move on, or start afresh by changing the name, but in every aspect of this process—the planning, the dreaming, even the regret—the focus is almost entirely on the namer (you).
But what of the child receiving the name?
Though none of us would choose names for our children that we think they will hate (on the contrary, we choose names we think they will love, because we do), we all likely know someone who doesn't care for their name. It's easy enough to sympathize with a peer or even someone else's child who doesn't like their name, but how heartbroken would many of us be if the name we carefully and lovingly chose for our beloved baby was later rejected by that child?
I think there are things parents could do that might help their children recognize and embrace their chosen names.
Tell your child's name story to him or her, often and with joy
I've never tired of hearing my own name story, nor those of my siblings. I remember hearing them many times growing up, and I still love seeing how my parents delight in remembering the conversations and process they had when deciding on our names, and how pleased they still are with each result—it's clear to them that each name is the perfect one for each of us, and their enthusiasm is infectious. I see the same in my own kids now—they're fascinated to hear all the names we were considering, and really pleased and grateful that we chose the ones we did. (My 8-year-old recently discovered that he was very nearly Oliver, which horrified him—he feels like his own name and no other.)
Tell your child how awesome his or her name is, often and with joy
Each of my boys has a first name, and a first-middle combo, that I'm still swoony over, and I often tell them so. "You have such a great name," I'll sigh to them after calling for them, or I'll yell using both their first and middle names (a sure sign they're in trouble!) and yet even in the midst of my impatience or frustration I still find myself turning to my husband to say, "We did a great job with his name." Though each of them was chosen for a different reason, and some are more adventurous choices than others, we love each name and combination equally and make sure our boys hear that frequently—which can also help avoid feelings of inequality/unfairness among siblings regarding their names).
Make a big deal of name ownership whenever possible
If you see a restaurant with your child's name, point it out and say how cool it is for having chosen your child's name. If a celebrity or book/movie character has your child's name, be sure to comment on how lucky that person is for having the same amazing name as your child! You can celebrate your child's name day or saint's feast day with birthday-like festivities—as unlike birthdays, name days and eponymous saints' feast days are based solely on names.
Offer them options (of your choosing)
While the above suggestions focus on helping a child love and appreciate the name you've chosen, this last suggestion helps prepare for the worst. Should your child decide that their name just really isn't one they can live with, it's great for him or her to have options to fall back on—preferably of their choosing. If you decide on an unusual first name, consider a more traditional one for the middle (or vice versa). Or maybe consider bestowing two or more middle names, chosen from your list of favorites.
It's great, too, if the first or middle names you've chosen have lots of nickname options. This flies in the face of some parents' naming preferences—some really don't care for names that easily nickname, or for traditional names, or for multiple middle names, or for going by a middle name—but if your goal is to help give your child the best chance of liking the name you gave him or her, providing options and possibilities is a great way to do so.
How would you feel if your child hated his or her name? Do you think these strategies might help prevent name dislike in your child? What others would you add?

Good blog!
I agree with your suggestions about three names (one first and two middles) and a first name with many possible nicknames and the option of exploring one of the middles.
I'm fortunate because I love my name, which really doesn't come with any obvious nicknames, but for my own (unborn) daughter I chose Cordelia which offers nn's I love: Coral and Delia, some I like: Cora, and even some I dislike: De, DeDe, Cory. I also love Elizabeth, her first middle, and knew she could have used it or plundered it for nn's if needed.

My mum gave me a Welsh girl name that no one could spell or pronounce correctly in the asian country I grew up in. And on the rare occasion that someone said it right, I would have to 'correct' them, because my mum also decided that she was going to mispronounce the already-hard-to-properly-pronounce Celtic name. The pronunciation she chose is the exact same one belonging to a well-known, relatively common boy name. As such, I very quickly grew to hate my name, and I would periodically challenge my mum and question her as to why she chose (in my opinion) such a ridiculous and unattractive name.
Her response boiled down to "I like it, so there!", and when I didn't accept that, she'd get very angry and defensive, and would say things along the lines of: "Grow up", "get over it", and "stop being childish and stupid". I would like to set the record straight by saying to all parents, wannabe or otherwise, that you should NEVER respond this way to a child. Because all it did was make me hate my name even more, as well as help to establish a deep-seated resentment towards my mum which remains to this day.
In my opinion, the following points are how I think parents should go about the whole issue:
1. Try to pick a name that has some meaning to you. For example, saying "I named you after my very best friend" or, "I named you Lucien because it means 'light', and you are literally the light of my life" would help a child come to terms with their name far better than saying: "I chose it because it was pretty, that's all".
2. When picking middle names, select ones that you would quite happily use as first names. That way, if a child wants to change their name, they might very well go by the middle name(s) that you chose, which would be easier on the parents than the child potentially picking a completely unrelated name that said parents had no part in choosing and, furthermore, might not like.
3. Be positive about your child's name, absolutely. But at the end of it all, no amount of excitement or encouragement may be enough to stop them from disliking their name. And if they do end up disliking it, it's important that you let them know that that's OK. Acceptance of such a reality may very well convince a child to keep their name, and if all else fails and the child wants to go by something else, you could always give them a list of names that you like, and have them choose from that. – I personally would have loved if my mum had given me that option.

I was given an overly popular first and middle name, and only because my mom liked how they sounded. I've always hated my name (in and of itself), how popular it is, and how meaningless it feels (and is). Partly because of that, I'm really into names that aren't in the top 1000 and are nature/word/etc names with clear meanings. If I had a kid, I would be very thoughtful about naming them, and I would also completely understand if they didn't like their name and wanted to change it, as I plan to legally change mine to something that's actually meaningful to me and actually feels like "me".
I think it really helps to give your child a name with meaning and/or for a good reason (for example, "We gave you the middle name Ocean because you were born by the ocean and we wanted you to know the importance of broadening your horizons"), and to give them options with a versatile first name or one or more middle names (for example, Theodora Moon could go by Thea, Dora, Teddy, Moon, or even Luna). However, that's not fool-proof of course, and personally if my hypothetical kid didn't like their name, I'd be happy to call them by whatever name they felt was best for them.

By Rabbi Moshe Averick
It seems that Yesh Atid MK (Member Knesset) Dov Lipman was upset that Rav Aharon Feldman, the Rosh Yeshiva (Dean) of Ner Israel Rabbinical College, publicly condemned him as a "rasha" (wicked person). Lipman – a Ner Israel alumnus – penned an"Open Letter to the Baltimore Jewish Community" on 5/8/13 clarifying his position on Jewish education in Israel – which was the cause of Rabbi Feldman's condemnation – and why he felt he was judged unfairly. [Rav Feldman later clarified that while Lipman is not a rasha, he is wrong and misguided.]
Lipman, by his own admission, wants to cut off government funding for Hareidi schools that have the unmitigated gall to continue teaching the curricula that have kept the Jewish people alive and well for the past 3400 years. They must toe the line and accept a more "modern" curriculum or fend for themselves. Mr. Lipman feels that his black velvet "hareidi" yarmulke magically invests him with educational expertise and insight that eclipses that of the great Torah sages of both Israel and his native United States, who have unanimously condemned his views. Lipman, who rode into the Knesset on Lapid's coattails and makes self-delusionary claims that he represents the best interests of the Hareidi community, would be lucky to receive even a handful of votes if he ran as a Hareidi candidate.
He also supports Lapid's policy of compulsory draft for yeshiva students, while expecting the undying gratitude of the religious world because he graciously has allowed for 1800 full time yeshiva students to be exempt. How Dov Lipman got the idea that he has the authority to decide who should or should not be allowed to study Torah remains a mystery. My guess is that it results from an inflated sense of self-importance due to his role as Yair Lapid's loyal Hareidi poodle.
In short, Dov Lipman has taken on the traditional role of limiting and/or destroying the study of Torah, that in the past was filled by various Roman and Greek tyrants, Hellenist Jews, Russian Czars, Communist dictators, and anti-religious secular Zionists, among others.
The issue, though, goes much deeper than the condemnation of a political lackey who will be dumped as soon as he outlives his usefulness. Many people – particularly those who are infatuated with modernity – seem to have forgotten that the Jewish state is only 65 years old, a drop in the bucket when viewed against the backdrop of 4 millennia of Jewish history. Secular/Socialist Zionism, the ideology of choice of many of the early founders of the State of Israel, is essentially dead. It had all the characteristics of a mule, which is the result of cross-breeding a horse and donkey. The upside of a mule: It has the strength of a horse and the endurance of a donkey. The downside: It cannot reproduce; its lifespan is one generation…period. Secular/Socialist Zionism – as far as its ability to inspire a new generation – has utterly failed. Non-observant Jewish university students who – in decades past – were outspoken supporters of the Jewish state and flocked to Israel as volunteers on kibbutzim are now demonstrating for Palestinian rights, marching with anti-Israel Arab jihadists on campus, and urging boycotts of Israeli products.
The future of the State of Israel lies with those who are committed to Jewish observance and tradition in some way that can be deemed significant. This certainly does not mean that all Israelis will be fully observant, Orthodox, or hareidi in the foreseeable future; but there is no future for those with an exclusively secular ideology. Nearly one third of all first graders in Israel today are enrolled in Hareidi schools. Close to 60% of all first graders are enrolled in Hareidi, Hareidi Le'umi (Nationalist Hareidi), or Dati Le'umi (Religious Zionist) schools. It is routine for religious/hareidi families to have 6-10 children. It is rare to find a secular family in Israel with more than one or two.
If Secularism struggles to provide the depth of motivation and commitment necessary to bring children into the world, how can it possibly hope to provide the commitment and motivation necessary to maintain a Jewish state in the face of worldwide demonization – the UN has passed more resolutions condemning Israel than any other nation in existence – and fanatical Arab/Islamic hordes bent on her destruction? The Torah describes our slavery in Egypt as a "fiery refining furnace." In the ensuing 3,400 years nothing has really changed. The mission of our people has required us to endure an ongoing series of "refining furnaces" across the ages. In the end only those that cling to the eternal values of the Torah can thrive and grow through such a process.
If Dov Lipman would like to make a real contribution he should point out to Yair Lapid – as I wrote about at length in an earlier article – that the Hareidi community has been demonized and marginalized since the early days of Zionism. The Hareidim has been treated as 2nd class citizens since the founding of the state. Secular Israelis have bent over backwards in their attempts to make peace with the murderous Arabs/Islamists who surround them. It is time to now to make peace with their own Hareidi brothers and sisters. The study of Torah is the only thing that kept the Jewish people alive for thousands of years; the study of Torah is national service of the highest order and without it the Jewish people and the State of Israel would disappear.
My son Danny (left) who served the people of Israel as an IDF soldier and continues to serve the nation by living and working in Jerusalem. He stands with his brother Joshie who has continuously served the people of Israel by studying Torah full-time in the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem.
A final message to Dov Lipman: If you want to return to your true Torah roots and accept the authority of the great Torah sages when it comes to the education of our children, we will accept you back with open arms. If not, remember one thing and one thing only: When you hear Yair Lapid say "jump," that is your cue to say, "how high boss?!"

The Court of Appeal for Ontario, in a case involving an application to certify a proposed misleading advertising class action with respect to front loading washing machines1, determined that the matter should not be certified as a class action. The case provides comfort for advertisers that they need not publicize all problems associated with their products.It was alleged that Whirlpool negligently designed its early front loading machines, such that they were prone to developing an unpleasant smell as a result of mold and fungus ("bio-film") build up. Various causes of action were alleged, including breach of the express warranty provided by the manufacturer; breach of the implied warranty of fitness for purpose under the Sale of Goods Act; breach of the misleading advertising provision of the Competition Act; economic loss for negligent design of a non-dangerous consumer product; and waiver of tort. The Court of Appeal (Hoy, ACJO) rejected each of these possible causes of action. Associate Chief Justice Hoy noted that the express warranty was silent with respect to negligent design – it only spoke to negligence related to materials or manufacturing. The implied warranty in the Sale of Goods Act did not apply because there was no direct contract of sale between Whirlpool and consumers. The claim for economic loss for negligent design of a non-dangerous consumer product failed because the Court of Appeal found, as a matter of law, that there could be no claim law for economic loss resulting in diminution of value due to negligent design of a consumer product. With respect to waiver of tort, because there was no predicate wrongdoing upon which to base waiver of tort the Court concluded that there was no basis for a cause of action in waiver of tort. Finally, and of direct relevance with respect to the misleading advertising claim, the plaintiffs alleged that Whirlpool's actions were in breach of Section 52 of the Competition Act, and therefore gave rise to a claim under Section 36 of the Act, based on representation by omission. The allegation was that Whirlpool did not tell the public its front loading washing machines did not self clean in the same way as its top loading washing machines did, and did not advise that they were susceptible to the build up of bio-film, resulting in unpleasant odors. Whirlpool argued that while, in some circumstances, misrepresentation by omission may be actionable – although not necessarily a breach of the Competition Act – an allegation that there is misrepresentation by omission when there was no positive misrepresentation with respect to the matter cannot support a claim. The Court stated that while Section 52 of the Competition Act prohibits material, false or misleading representations, unlike statutes such as provincial securities legislation, which require the provision of "full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts", the Competition Act does not impose a general duty to disclose. The Court of Appeal stated "I would note and adopt the holding in Williams v. Canon2 … that 'the failure to disclose the alleged defect cannot be representation for the purposes of Section 52'." This case, at the level of the Ontario Court of Appeal, represents strong authority that failure to disclose something negative will not constitute breach of Section 52 of the Competition Act. The decision will be authority in both the civil as well as the criminal context. Silence, really may be golden. As noted in the now vaguely superannuated but still much loved Purolator3 case:
"Advertising…by its nature, it is one-sided and usually does not convey a full and balanced analysis….competitors may complain that it does not depict a full and balanced picture…Courts should be reluctant to intervene in the competitive marketplace unless the advertisements are clearly unfair".

Health Insurance
Health Insurance
One of the biggest areas of concern for many individuals is health care. This concern is greatly increased among seniors. As people age they have an ever increasing chance of getting sick or hurt. While medical science is constantly improving health care, the improvements come at a cost. A big cost! In fact, for many people, the fear of not being able to pay medical expenses is one of their biggest financial concerns. Fortunately, health insurance provides some relief from the high cost of medical care.
Medicare is a federal health care program for persons ages 65 and older, certain disabled persons, and anyone who has end-stage renal (kidney) disease. Medicare Part A covers hospital charges, such as bed and board, operating room costs, and lab tests. Premiums for Part A are paid by the government. Part B pays for doctor's charges and for other outpatient treatment, and requires a premium payment by the individual. Both Part A and Part B require the individual to pay a deductible, which can be quite large. Some prescription drug coverage is offered.
Medicaid is a combined state and federal program. Although Medicaid operates under general federal guidelines, each state runs its Medicaid program somewhat differently. For example, income and asset levels for eligibility vary from state to state. If you are working in multiple jurisdictions, you need to be aware that different rules may apply.
Medicaid is a form of welfare and has rules (different than Medicare's) that must be followed to qualify for benefits. In addition to medical qualifications required to receive benefits, in general terms, an individual must spend down his or her assets to a low level to be eligible for Medicaid-covered long-term care (LTC). Spending down assets means using up whatever resources are available until there is a very small amount left. Certain assets, such as home and an automobile, are exempt from the spend-down provisions as long as the patient intends to return home or a spouse remains in the home.
Additionally, there is a limit to the income a person can have and still be eligible for Medicaid. A lien will sometimes be placed on the home of a person who is confined to a long-term care facility. On the sale of the home, the proceeds will be used to repay Medicaid for its expenses in providing the long-term care. When there is a living community spouse, this person can keep the home, some invested assets and a significant amount of the household income while the confined partner (institutionalized spouse) qualifies for Medicaid.
Medicaid pays for care for nearly 70 percent of nursing home residents of all ages and accounts for 42 percent of overall long-term care spending. When a senior is deciding whether to purchase LTC insurance or to qualify for Medicaid, consider these factors:
- Quality of care
- Physical qualifications that must be met to receive benefits
- Elimination of an inheritance to pass on to children (refer to Estate Planning)
- Possible financial penalties for an improper transfer of assets
- Potential loss of a family home and other assets
- Availability of Medicaid patient beds

Martha Lacy is the blind widow of Warden Dale Lacy.
Martha Lacy lived with her husband in Castle Rock, Maine. On the day Lacy committed suicide, he served Martha breakfast in the bed.[1] In the days following Lacy's suicide, she was visited by Henry Deaver who was looking into the Warden and why he kept a secret prisoner at Shawshank State Prison. He did not tell her his name, merely that he was a lawyer looking to sue Northeast Correctional and she allowed him access to Lacy's home office. However, Martha's neighbor called her, and informed her that visitor was Henry Deaver. Martha, who had once been a member of Reverend Matthew Deaver's congregation, told him to leave.[2]
