New York Child Visitation Modification Lawyer
As children grow, they experience changes. Some of these changes are normal and expected. Other life changes are unexpected. Whether a change in a child's life is minor or significant, New York law has a process to allow a parent to ask the court to modify the child's custody or visitation schedule.
New York custody laws presume that kids benefit from stability. They don't want to make unnecessary changes in the children's lives. The courts make their orders based on what they see as being in the best interests of the children.
To ask for a major custody change such as moving the children from living primarily with one parent to the other parent, you have to show that the circumstances surrounding the children have changed in a substantial way. Minor changes won't do. Instead, it's got to be a change that the court thinks has a reasonable chance of impacting the children's lives. Examples of a significant change might be an illness that means a parent can no longer care for a child long term. It might be a parent going to prison or developing a substance abuse addiction.
Minor changes to a child's parenting time schedule don't require as much proof. However, you still have to show that the change is in the best interests of the child. If your work schedule changes or the child wants to take on a new activity, you can present the evidence to the court and ask for a change.
When you hope to make a change to a child's custody or visitation schedule, it's important to carefully plan your court action. The court needs to have the right evidence in order to make the correct decision. Legal pleadings need to be precise and understandable.
Our team of New York child visitation modification lawyers works to empower our clients to understand the nuances of New York child custody law. We want to help you pursue your case in a way that's calculated to reach the best possible outcome under the circumstances. If you have a great case, you need to know how to pursue it. If there are roadblocks in the way of reaching the result you're looking for, you need to understand these limitations and what you might do in order to best pursue your case.
If you'd like to know your options to modify child custody or parenting time, we invite you to contact our team. Our New York child visitation modification lawyers can help you draft documents and prepare for court. We can approach witnesses to gather statements and evaluate potential testimony. When it's time for court, we're fully prepared.
We know that sometimes our best work happens outside of a courtroom. If there's a chance of resolving the case outside of court, our team can handle the negotiations on your behalf. Even when it seems very hard to work with the other parent, we may be able to help you reach an agreement that's acceptable to both of you.
Finally, great legal representation also requires writing and reading the proposed modification agreement carefully. The specific wording of a legal document can be very important later on. We make sure that there aren't small details that may pose a problem in the future. If you're interesting in a child visitation modification in your case, please contact us.

|Issue Date:
|Zeng, J. (2012). A fundamental study of high temperature proton exchange membranes for fuel cells. Doctoral thesis, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
|Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have been considered as an attractive energy source for both portable and automobile applications because of their high energy conversion efficiency, high power density, quiet operation and low greenhouse gas emission. The efficiency and performance of PEMFCs can be further enhanced by increasing the operating temperature to 120-250 oC due to the improved reaction kinetics and significantly reduced catalyst poisoning by CO. Water and heat management of fuel cells systems becomes easier at high temperatures. However the grand challenge is to develop proton exchange membranes with high proton conductivity and stability at elevated temperatures and low humidity. For instance, the state-of-the-art PEM is the perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymers membrane due to their good mechanical properties, excellent chemical stability and relatively high proton conductivity under highly hydrated conditions. But the conductivity of PFSA-based membranes decreases significantly at elevated temperatures due to the dehydration and degradation of the membranes under elevated temperature (over 100 oC) and low relative humidity (RH) environment. It has been well known that heteropolyacid (HPA) is a superionic conductor in its fully hydrated states. Among various HPAs, the highest stability and strongest acidity are observed for phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40, abbreviated as HPW or PWA). Despite their high acidity, stability and high proton conductivity, the application of HPAs in proton exchange membranes of fuel cells is limited due to the sensitivity oftheir conductivity to the relative humidity of the surrounding environment in addition to their solubility in water. The risk of the leakage of HPAs during cell operation is thus high. In this thesis, a novel inorganic progon exchange membrane using HPAs as a proton carrier and mesoporous silica as framework materials is successfully developed as proton exchange membranes for fuel cells. Mesoporous silica is used as the host material to stablize HPAs which are introduced by a vacuum impregnation method. The threshold for a good proton conductivity of the HPW-meso-silica nanocomposite is ~10 wt%. The best proton conductivity is 0.07 Scm-1 at 25oC under 100 %RH with activation energy of ~13.5 kJ mol-1, obtained on the 67-83% HPW-meso-silica nanocomposites. The high stability of the Keggin anions of HPW within the meso-silica host most likely due to the formation of (≡SiOH2+) (H2P4W12O40-) species. The proton conductivity and performance of HPW-meso-silica nanocomposites also increase with RH, but are far less sensitive to RH changes as compared to conventional PFSA polymers such as Nafion. These properties make the the HPW-meso-silica nanocomposite a promising proton conductor under high temperature and low RH environment.

I had tons of questions about the process and using my VA loan. He made the process smooth and was very flexible to my schedule. He was able to help me get an excellent price on my dream home. Very professional and excellent customer service
Christian is extremely knowledgable of the market with many years of experience, pleasant to work with, and was able to assist me with a complicated transaction that required him to think out of the box. In Addtion his communication and negotiation skills allowed a smooth transaction for us and the sellers. I highly recommend Christian and his team.
Their professionalism was way more than the five stars we were able to give. I wish I could give them 10 stars! They handled everything for us from start to finish. All we had to do was sign paperwork. We never had to leave the comfort of our own home which was 400 miles away. They kept us up to date every step of the way! I HIGHLY recommend Christian and his team.
He knows the local market and helped us get the best price for our property.
After searching for months on our own, we decided to use Sarah as our agent. She immediately started researching the top areas that were accommodating to our desired geographical location. She was very extensive in asking what both our wants and our needs were. Each morning I woke up to listing after listing that Sarah had narrowed down the night before. Once my family discussed our options, Sarah was quick to contact the selling agent to schedule a time that fit our busy schedule. Having Sarah as our agent took the stress and anxiety out of new home shopping. Thanks to Sarah's expertise, my family can enjoy season after season in our dream home!
As a mother of 3, time is not something I have, but when you meet Sarah, you'll understand why I took the time to write this about her. PATIENT, Practical, and Punctual. When can you EVER describe a real estate agent like that? When you go with Sarah. I chose to work with Sarah when she was punctual to our first viewing of a house, and came prepared with a printout of what I was looking at, along with an agenda. I have very high expectations and easily complain about almost everything, but Sarah hasn't given me even a CHANCE to complain. She exceeds my expectations at every level. I'm impressed by how humble Sarah is, she listens to what I (the Buyer) wants, she follows up, and she goes for the win. If you want someone who will make buying a home not stressful, go to Sarah, because the rest of life has enough stress to offer.

Thursday Thu
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 2 July 2078 at 16:25.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1946" and ∠1887".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2078 after 17 days on 24 July 2078 at 22:07.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 970 of Meeus index or 1923 from Brown series.
Length of current 970 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 19 minutes. It is 1 hour and 24 minutes shorter than next lunation 971 length.
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 25 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 44 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠29°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠50.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
1 day after point of perigee on 6 July 2078 at 02:20 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 18 July 2078 at 01:21 in ♏ Scorpio.
Moon is 368 318 km (228 862 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 149 km (251 127 mi).
2 days after its ascending node on 5 July 2078 at 06:31 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 11 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 18 July 2078 at 20:35 in ♏ Scorpio.
2 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
11 days after previous South standstill on 25 June 2078 at 16:54 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-27.037°. Next day the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠27.043° in the next northern standstill on 8 July 2078 at 17:05 in ♋ Cancer.
After 1 day on 9 July 2078 at 10:08 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.

Staying in great shape has become the top priority of many people for all the good reasons. And if you want to stay in shape and have loads of fun at the same time, engaging in sports activities is the perfect choice you've got.
However, before you go out to the playing field, it is important that you wear the proper athletic equipment, and this includes a quality mouth guard. Mouth guards, or also known as sports guards, work by protecting your teeth from potential injuries during an accidental blow to your face.
The Need for Quality Mouth Guards
When engaging in contact sports, it is a must to know how you can prevent any injury to your face and mouth. The mouth guard helps cushion the blow in order to lessen the dangers of injuring your teeth, lips, tongue or jaw while helping prevent any broken tooth or teeth.
It is not a secret that an injury to the mouth and face can easily knock one or several teeth out. It doesn't matter if you have one missing tooth because this much can already affect your talking, eating and most notably, your smile. It can be very expensive to repair a missing tooth. Good thing that mouth guards can lessen your risk of suffering from injuries.
Sports mouth guards are worn over the upper teeth and can reduce the chances of suffering from a cut lip, broken teeth, as well as other tongue and jaw injuries. Your top teeth, which sticks out a bit more, tend to be more vulnerable to injuries compared to the bottom teeth. However, there are also cases when experts recommend the use of mouth guard even on lower teeth.
You and your whole family must always wear mouth guards when participating in contact sports like hockey, boxing and football that could lead to collisions with the rest of the players and lead to dental injuries. Mouth guards are a wonderful idea if you participate in activities with higher risks where a fall can happen, such as skateboarding and biking. Wearing a clear mouth guard for basketball like Stephen Curry is always necessary to avoid injury.
Use Mouth Guards for Protecting Your Braces
Properly fitted mouth guards are extremely essential when wearing braces. Getting hit on the face might damage brackets as well as other fixed appliances. This will also protect your gums, lips and cheeks from injury.
A dental expert will help you in choosing the mouth guard which will offer you the best level of protection. Although there are mouth guards that cover only the upper teeth, when you have braces, the dentist can recommend protection for the lower teeth, too. Never wear a retainer or other appliances when you play contact sports.
Types of Mouth Guards
Mouth guards come in different types, including stock guards, custom fit and boil and bite. The use of boil and bite guard will involve boiling the guard to make it softer and putting it in your mouth to let it adapt to your teeth's natural shape. Stock guards are ready to wear and pre-formed while custom guards are expertly made and customized for every patient.
Sports mouth guards are an important part of your contact sports uniforms, just like knee pads or helmets. Never play any sport without wearing the best mouth guard you can find.

There are three approaches to finding a job in Singapore: Job boards; Employment Agencies; and Networking. For the best results, use all three.
Job Boards
Job boards can be very frustrating for job seekers. People submit lots of applications for different jobs and frequently do not receive a response – this can be very demoralising. Recruiters only respond to people they think will match a job they have available on their books.
The problem is the very large number of job advertisements on each job board and the equally large number of people applying for them, so it's very easy for your application to get lost in the crowd. Many claim it is a game of luck, while others claim it is a numbers game that has less than a 10% success rate. Either way, to increase your chances of getting a response from a recruiter, you have to increase the number of applications you submit.
Another problem is that there are many job boards to explore and this can take up a lot of your time. A more efficient way is to use a job aggregator such as Indeed.com which displays available jobs advertised on most other job boards. This saves you time sifting through countless job boards and allows you to spend this time on just one job board, meaning you can be more focused in your job search. A particularly important factor in this is that you can be one of the first to spot and apply for a newly advertised position – it is reported that nearly 50% of successful applications leading to a job hire were made in the first week the job was advertised. So make sure that you are one of the first!
Employment Agencies
Many people complain about their experiences working with employment agency recruiters. This is frequently due to a misunderstanding about their role. You must understand that the recruiter is not paid by you, the job seeker, but by the employer when a position is filled. So their main focus is not on you, the job seeker, but on satisfying the person who pays them – the employer. Furthermore, each individual recruiter is dealing with hundreds of job seekers and simply doesn't have the time to deal with each individual's concerns, so they may appear rushed and abrupt – they too have to reach targets!
So, before you speak to a recruiter, prepare what you are going to say and be brief and as concise as possible. Having an 'elevator pitch' to use with recruiters can be very useful. While it is best to use a number of recruiters from different employment agencies, do some research to see if there is a specialist recruiter for your particular industry and job area. Even if these are based overseas such as in Hong Kong, it is frequently worthwhile to contact them.
Networking is by far the most effective way to job search in Singapore. The principle behind networking is that someone you already know may have a job vacancy or know someone else who does. Or someone you already know may know somebody who knows somebody else who has a job vacancy or where one exists. A high number of jobs in Singapore are not publicly advertised but are by 'word of mouth' where a hiring manager asks another manager or friend if they know of someone who would be suitable.
I have written previously on the need to know exactly why you are networking (you can read the article here) and to be focused in your networking activities. It is also important to not just rely only on using LinkedIn but to utilise the network you already have – i.e. all the people you already know. However, they must know clearly what you are seeking – otherwise they can't help you get it.
Effective networking requires careful planning and you must know how to do it properly so as to avoid annoying people and becoming a person to avoid. If you are not adept in networking, speak to someone who is or take a training in it.

The Committee
BBCMC and BMC membership
You can join BBCMC at any time but the BMC memberships are done
on a quarterly basis. As long as you have provided suitable
information on your membership form, you will be enrolled during
the next window and will receive your BMC magazine, membership and
a wealth of discounts for shops and retailers all over the country
that you can use.
The remainder of the membership fee is used by BBCMC to fund deposits for trips, cover any shortfalls and general club administration. Membership is £20 for 2019
Register your email and join the Facebook group
You should register your email address to receive any email
communications. The secretary will do this for you as long as it is
present on your membership form.
The Facebook Group is closed to BBCMC members only. Feel free to use this group to chat with other members organise trips and climbing meets, you will be invited to join the Facebook Group as a BBCMC member.
Club communications
Much of this is done via email these days or on the Facebook page. The club uses the following email addresses but you will find over time that you will become familiar with individuals emails as well:
Equipment and experience
A comprehensive kit list is detailed below. If you are a seasoned outdoor enthusiast most of this will be in your locker already but it is important to understand and appreciate the importance of some of the kit to keep you safe in the mountains. If you are short on experience and equipment, please raise this with the trip organiser and they will do their best to help you out. We like to support everyone where we can and quite often loan bits of equipment or offer guidance when out and about – we all have to start somewhere and learn and grow and you will find many of the clubs long standing members have a wealth of experience that you can tap into.
Essential Equipment
For Camping:
For Bunk Houses or Club Huts:
Useful items (depending on the season/planned activity):
For All Trips:
Booking a trip
All trips will be posted on the website and Facebook under 'Events', a monthly e-mail will be sent out by the Event Co-Ordinator detailing the future trips. You can reply to the email or sometimes it will have an individual's address to use, otherwise use the relevant options on Facebook. The trip organiser will get back to you to advise if there is space and you will be asked to pay a deposit (if required) that is typically £10-15 to secure your place. Discussions surrounding the trip, routes, transport, meals etc will take place via email or Facebook. You will normally be asked to pay any remaining balance of the trip 2-4 weeks before the trip is due.
Attending a trip
During a trip we will typically all join together for a group
evening meal but you will need to make sure you provide your own
breakfast, lunch and drink for during the day and any alcohol in
the evenings. At the end of the trip everyone will normally settle
the bill for shared food, drink and transport etc.
You may find that certain trips have people splitting off into numerous groups as people like to do their own thing, or the whole group may stick together for the day. If you are to take a different route from the group it is essential that people know what route you are taking and have contact details as well.
Payments are to be made online to the clubs account. All payments for trips, deposits, memberships etc will be to the following bank details:
Sort Code: 40-08-04
Account Number: 21400320
The trip organiser will ask for a reference for the trip (eg Lakes2019) that we ask to be used for all associated payments to simplify the accounts process. When making a payment please email the trip organiser and also the Treasurer email (see above) to confirm your payment, how much and for which trip etc.
Trip Feedback
We try to keep the website and Facebook up to date and like to post trip reports. Your feedback on a trip is always appreciated including great photos.
Running a Trip
About every 6 months, typically in spring and autumn, the Event Co-Ordinator looks to ensure the calendar for the next 9 months is full. We welcome anyone who can offer their time and efforts to organising a club trip and bring something new to the club or take us to a location we have not been before.

Hell apparently hath no fury like a Motrin mom scorned. It began innocently enough—a painkiller ad targeted to aching moms. But seems the spot touched a nerve in the ever-growing blogging mom community, drawing heat for claims that ibuprofen (brand name Motrin) could help cure the pain in the neck, not to mention back and shoulders, caused by carrying a baby in a sling, wrap or "schwing."
Scores of angry moms took to Twitter to slam the ad's flip tone (the narrator brags that toting her baby "close to the bod ... totally makes me look like an official mom"). A number of Twitterers took offense at the spot's lament: "And so if I look tired and crazy, people will understand why." A typical response echoed this one posted by homemakerbarbi: "I love my front carrier, and don't appreciate being told I look 'crazy' for baby-wearing. Bad job this time, Motrin."
McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the maker of Motrin, responded by taking the ad down from the Motrin Web site. Marc Boston, McNeil's director of communications, read a prepared statement when contacted by phone, apologizing for "any concerns raised" by the advertisement. "We have taken immediate action to respond to these concerns and have removed the advertisement from our Web site," Boston says. "Unfortunately it will take longer for us to remove this advertisement from magazines, as several are currently on newsstands and in distribution."
Motrin.com even went silent briefly today amid the kerfuffle before reappearing with a homepage apology to those offended. As for the ad, it carries on, despite its death by a thousand tweets, thanks to another Web behemoth. The spot, plus the requisite response videos, are available over at YouTube.

Overview: Smoke damper is used for quick detection, controlled closure devices, heat activated to make the damper close in the event of a fire. Smoke damper works on the principle of detector it means during testing when smoke is detected (via smoke detector), or if power failure occurs, the damper will close and remain closed. When the smoke signal ceases (smoke detector reset), the test is completed or power is restored the damper will automatically reset to the open position. The damper automatically resets if nuisance alarms occur and the system is reset.
Smoke dampers resist the passage of air and smoke within the ductwork. These smoke dampers are typically operated by a smoke detector which is situated in the duct. Once smoke has been detected, the smoke detector sends a signal to the dampers actuator, which uses the jackshaft and linkage to open and close the blades of the smoke damper.
Smoke dampers are designed for the application in ventilation and air conditioning systems where the air way is normally clean and the temperature and humidity are controlled.
These smoke dampers are mainly designed and installed in the ductwork and the transfer of air openings prevents the passage of smoke between the sections. A smoke damper works when smoke is detected by a smoke detector that is located in the ductwork as well. These detectors are usually wired to a central alarm panel where an alarm will send a signal to an actuator attached to the smoke damper. In the damper actuator can be located externally or internally and is operated either electrically or pneumatically. The actuator uses the jack-shaft and linkage to open and close the blades of the smoke damper.
Before selecting a fire damper it is must to select the lowest leakage class damper, however there are some of the smoke control applications where a higher leakage class damper is acceptable. Always consult with your local building codes for specific application requirements. The leakage rating for a smoke fire damper comes from the UL555S Leakage Test.
When a smoke fire damper is installed it should be fit in a space with room for wiring or piping and the actuator & accessories must be accessible for testing and service or replacement.

text: ATLL765 79 Posted November 2, 2013 Boucher and Merril seem to be playing well. Matteau on the other hand, isn't looking so great with his 1 point and only 13 SOG? Can anybody comment on how he's played otherwise? If he's a Zubrus-like player, I imagine what he does isn't always evident on the scoresheet, but 1 point and 13 SOG looks pretty bad.

Sunflower County
Perhaps most famous as the home of Parchman Prison, Fannie Lou Hamer, Archie Manning, and various blues musicians and sites, Sunflower County has played a major role in many of the most dramatic and revealing developments in the history of the Mississippi Delta. Sunflower County was founded in 1844 and named for the Sunflower River. Its county seat is Indianola, and other communities include Drew, Inverness, Moorhead, Parchman, and Ruleville.
In its first census in 1850, the sparsely populated county had a total of 1,162 residents, including 754 slaves and 348 free people. Over the next decade the free population increased somewhat to 1,102, while the slave population increased dramatically to 3,917. Sunflower was very much a plantation county, with its agriculture concentrating on cotton far more than other crops.
In 1871 part of Sunflower County became a section of Leflore County. Early in the postbellum period, it remained a lightly populated county with an African American majority. In 1880 African Americans accounted for 2,867 of Sunflower's 4,661 people. Unlike many areas with African American majorities, most Sunflower County farms were cultivated by their owners rather than by sharecroppers or other tenants. Farmers continued to concentrate on cotton but also grew grains and raised livestock in substantial numbers. The average size of Sunflower County farms was 293 acres, well above the state average.
Sunflower County experienced an extraordinary population increase in the late 1880s and by 1900 was home to 16,000 people, three-quarters of them African American. Only 8 percent of the county's 2,172 black farmers owned their land, and Sunflower had more than 2,000 African American tenant farmers and sharecroppers. As in other Delta counties dominated by tenancy, farms were now small, averaging just forty-five acres, barely half the state average of eighty-three acres. In contrast, 40 percent of Sunflower's 533 white farmers were landowners. Sunflower had a small but growing industrial population, with 57 workers, as well as a burgeoning immigrant population of 96, most of them Germans and Poles.
In 1904 the State of Mississippi established a prison, Parchman Farm, on twenty thousand acres in Sunflower County. Parchman quickly became one of Mississippi's largest plantations and was a penal facility for thousands of male convicts, the large majority of them African Americans, who were put to work in agriculture and prison upkeep. Parchman became legendary for many reasons, including its status as a plantation, its place in blues lyrics and experiences, its policies regarding physical punishment and spousal visitation, and the imprisonment of numerous civil rights activists in the 1960s.
In the early twentieth century 7,800 of Sunflower County's 13,000 church members belonged to Missionary Baptist congregations. Likely the most famous Baptist leader from Sunflower County was Rev. C. L. Franklin (father of Aretha Franklin), who became nationally known for his work in Memphis, Buffalo, and Detroit. Three Methodist groups—the African Methodist Episcopal Church; the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; and the Methodist Episcopal Church—had more than 800 members each, as did the Southern Baptists. Sunflower County also had the second-highest number of Disciples of Christ members (287) in Mississippi.
In the early twentieth century Sunflower was a place of dramatic extremes. Its 1930 population of more than 66,000 was the third-highest in Mississippi, and its African American population of 46,646 was the highest in the state. Sunflower trailed only Hinds County in population density. The county's economy continued to focus on agriculture. Sunflower had 12,374 farms (again, the second-most in the state), 94 percent of them run by tenant farmers. Farmers in Sunflower and Bolivar Counties grew the most cotton, and an extraordinary 98 percent of Sunflower's land was farmland, substantially higher than the state average of 66 percent. The county also ranked third in the amount of rice produced and was home to a number of Russian, Italian, and Chinese immigrants.
Scholars know a great deal about depression-era Sunflower County because of two thorough sociological works, Hortense Powdermaker's After Freedom: A Cultural Study in the Deep South and John Dollard's Caste and Class in a Southern Town. Both studied everyday life in great detail, with particular emphasis on issues of race and class.
The phrase Going Where the Southern Cross the Dog dates to the roots of the music that became known as the blues. It refers to a place in Moorhead where the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail line intersected with the Southern line. Perhaps even more revealing about Sunflower County's place in the blues is Dockery Plantation, famous as the home of Charley Patton. Other blues musicians with Sunflower County connections include Patton associate Willie Brown, who worked as a sharecropper on a Sunflower plantation; Little Milton, born on a plantation outside Inverness; and Albert King and B. B. King, both from Indianola, which today is the home of the B. B. King Museum.
As in much of the Delta, Sunflower County's population declined dramatically in the mid-twentieth century. Between 1930 and 1960 Sunflower lost nearly one-third of its residents, and the population fell to 45,750. Three-quarters of those who departed were African Americans. Agriculture remained the primary economic pursuit, with almost half of the county's working people employed in farming. Sunflower County ranked first in cotton production, second in soybeans, third in rice, and fifth in wheat. About 7 percent of the employed people worked in industry, primarily men in textile work, and Sunflower had an unusually high number of people working in hospitals and health care. Sunflower County ranked high among Mississippi counties in the number of residents with less than five years of education.
Sunflower County produced both important civil rights activists and some of their most prominent opponents. At the instigation of founder Robert "Tut" Patterson, Indianola was the home of the first chapter of the Citizens' Council, and Doddsville was the plantation home of Sen. James O. Eastland, a powerful opponent of civil rights efforts. In the 1950s Clinton Battle reinvigorated the county's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the 1960s Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee efforts at voter registration ushered plantation timekeeper Fannie Lou Hamer into her role as an influential spokesperson for the civil rights movement when she was fired after trying to register to vote. Her stirring address to the 1964 Democratic National Convention introduced many people to Sunflower County. In Drew, Mae Bertha Carter worked to integrate public education by sending her children to all-white schools. Charles McLaurin moved to the area in the 1960s as a young activist and has remained a community activist and leader.
Other important figures with roots in Sunflower County include college and professional football star Archie Manning, who grew up in Drew; influential New York Times food writer Craig Claiborne; and writer Steve Yarbrough, who has set many of his novels and short stories in the Mississippi Delta.
Like many Mississippi Delta counties, Sunflower County remained predominantly African American in 2010. The county's population of 29,024 represented a decline of more than one-third over the preceding half century.

(The first part of this blog was accidentally posted last week as I made the first of many errors to come by putting 2019 in place of 2020. Sorry to those who read the first half, but I encourage you to finish it, you might be surprised at the ending)
I will drink no more . . . or no less.
I will lose, wait, no I'll win
I will exercise . . . better judgement about exercising
No, this blog will not be resolutions that will vanish like a dog's dinner by the end of January or about resolutions at all. It's about wine . . . sort of.
In spite of being born and raised just miles from America's greatest wine region, Napa-Sonoma, I am no oenophile and definitely not a 'wine snob', although I will admit to often remarking, "I am too old to drink cheap wine." Which is why my trip to the Temecula wine region some 20 years ago was most disappointing – really bad wine.
Fast forward to this past New Year's holiday when a group of neighbors planned a trip to the Temecula wine region. We would be staying at the Temecula Creek Inn, playing golf there and . . . wine tasting. It sounded like fun, except for the wine tasting. I figured I could bring a couple of bottles of 'good' northern California wine and not have to drink the swill from Temecula.
I was not alone in my opinion of Temecula wine; wine experts from all over the world were rating their wines as too sweet, the aromas funky and lacking in complexity and flavors like those found in Napa or even Paso Robles. In fact, some reviews of the Temecula wines said things like, "flavors that were not all that appealing – they smelled like burning tires or rotting cabbage." So the region, which consists of 33,000 acres about 85 miles southeast of Los Angeles, became known for bachelorette limo tasting tours and sub-par wine.
So, if you get invited to go wine tasting in Temecula . . . Go!
Yes, you read that right, go.
Mark my words, as someone who wouldn't have made the short trip to Temecula to taste wine if they'd sent a limo for me, there has been an amazing turn-around not only in the wine being produced, but in the atmosphere created in the 40+ wineries located there.
How was this dramatic turn-around made? It's complicated and includes everything from pH factors to the glassy-winged sharpshooter! The sharpshooter is a bug that was responsible for destroying 40% of the vineyards in the Temecula valley in the 1990s, which made the vintners start all over by solving the pH problem as well as creating proper vine balance and better irrigation practices. They also planted more Italian, Rhone and Spanish varietals which are better suited to Temecula's Mediterranean climate.
I don't pretend to know anything about what I just wrote, but I tasted the wine and found my favorites, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Super Tuscany, all very good; Chardonnays and other whites were also very tasty. It's not Napa or Paso Robles, but it's much improved and they've done a great job of making the wineries and tasting rooms aesthetically, well, wine country-like . Additionally, unlike most other wine areas in California, Temecula allows restaurants at its wineries. The main 'wine trail' in Temecula is Rancho California Road where you can find most of the major wineries as well as some beautiful homes in the surrounding hills – it's really become a pretty classy area. You can get a 'bird's eye view' of it all via hot air balloons, whose colorful canopies populate the morning Temecula sky.
So the new year for me began with an unexpected pleasant surprise – hopefully a harbinger of things to come for us all this year.

8 Plants and Essential Oils that Clean the Air
Breathing is a part of life that's of utmost importance, but something we rarely spend much time thinking about -- our bodies naturally take care of this task for us without any thought. There's nothing sweeter than taking a deep breath of fresh mountain air, or breathing in the salty air as you look out over the ocean. But how often do you consider the air you breathe day in and day out in your living space?

Student Voice Campaign
SIAC started this campaign in order to strengthen the presence of student voice in the PUSD.
Part 1 of Our Vision: Communication
SIAC reaches out to the student body once a month in order to increase communication between the council and the student population.
Monthly Outreach
Each month, the council follows three steps as part of its outreach to the student body.
Step 1: Choose a Topic - At monthly council meetings, SIAC members select a topic (e.g. student stress, the bell schedule, etc.) and formulate a question or set of questions that they would like to ask their peers.
Step 2: Collect Feedback - On a scheduled day each month, all SIAC members wear their SIAC T-shirts to school and collect students' answers to the question(s) via a Google Form.
Step 3: Share Feedback - At the following council meeting, SIAC members review all the feedback that was collected and brainstorm actions to take based on the responses.
Part 2 of Our Vision: Action
SIAC created a feedback system to implement at school sites in the PUSD in order to provide students with the opportunity to give anonymous feedback to the council about any issue at any time. This system is currently in place at two high schools in the district, and SIAC is working to expand the system to every secondary school site by the end of the 2017-2018 school year.

Filling out her dance card for her debut single, Suzuki Airi releases a promotional video for the rock side of her "Escape" with the promotional video to "IDENTITY". Part animation and part performance, the singer spends most of her time fronting a trio of musicians in the white white walls of a soundstage. Meanwhile, the anime portion of the PV plays on a mobile phone screen with an animated heroine on a train ride with destiny. Having viewed most of Airi's available video performances with Buono!, there's nothing about "IDENTITY" that strikes me as false: Airi truly loves singing in this rock format. You can find "IDENTITY" on Suzuki Airi's debut solo single "Escape" available now.
Airi Suzuki (鈴木 愛理 Suzuki Airi, born April 12, 1994)is a Japanese pop singer, actress, model, and radio personality. She first gained recognition when she joined Hello! Project Kids and later became the lead vocalist of the Japanese idol girl group Cute from 2005 to 2017. Throughout her singing career, Suzuki also became a vocalist for the pop rock girl group Buono! From June 2015 onwards, she became an exclusive model for the fashion magazine Ray.
After Cute disbanded in 2017, Suzuki debuted as a solo singer with the album Do Me a Favor

Muscle Mass. Bodybuilding is focused on building muscle. ... During the muscle recovery, muscles rebuild and get stronger. Bodybuilders main goal is to sculpt large muscles which pop, whereas Fitness Models don't focus on building muscle, but more so on sculpting an overall fit looking body.
Bodybuilding vs. fitness workout
Although the two fitness regimes might seem similar to each other, they are in fact very different. Fitness workout/modelling is a more recent offshoot of exercising, while bodybuilding has been around since the late 1960's
- Bodybuilders: All about the size
- Fitness workout: All about strength
Bodybuilders rarely indulge in cardiovascular exercises or reps with a low amount of weights, placing special emphasis on gaining mass. They tend to regularly push their bodies to the breaking point; that is the point where they literally cannot do another rep-round. During recovery time, the 'failed' muscles rebuild and become stronger.
5 important differences between the two.
1. Muscle Mass
2. Calorie Intake
3. Proteins
4. Workout Sessions
5. Supplements

At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a naïve medical student "possessed," as he wrote, "by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life" into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality.
What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir.
Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. "I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything," he wrote. "Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: 'I can't go on. I'll go on.'" When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.
From the book
Part I
In Perfect Health I Begin
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?
—Ezekiel 37:1–3, King James translation
I knew with certainty that I would never be a doctor. I stretched out in the sun, relaxing on a desert plateau just above our house. My uncle, a doctor, like so many of my relatives, had asked me earlier that day what I planned on doing for a career, now that I was heading off to college, and the question barely registered. If you had forced me to answer, I suppose I would have said a writer, but frankly, thoughts of any career at this point seemed absurd. I was leaving this small Arizona town in a few weeks, and I felt less like someone preparing to climb a career ladder than a buzzing electron about to achieve escape velocity, flinging out into a strange and sparkling universe.
I lay there in the dirt, awash in sunlight and memory, feeling the shrinking size of this town of fifteen thousand, six hundred miles from my new college dormitory at Stanford and all its promise.
I knew medicine only by its absence—specifically, the absence of a father growing up, one who went to work before dawn and returned in the dark to a plate of reheated dinner. When I was ten, my father had moved us—three boys, ages fourteen, ten, and eight—from Bronxville, New York, a compact, affluent suburb just north of Manhattan, to Kingman, Arizona, in a desert valley ringed by two mountain ranges, known primarily to the outside world as a place to get gas en route to somewhere else. He was drawn by the sun, by the cost of living—how else would he pay for his sons to attend the colleges he aspired to?—and by the opportunity to establish a regional cardiology practice of his own. His unyielding dedication to his patients soon made him a respected member of the community. When we did see him, late at night or on weekends, he was an amalgam of sweet affections and austere diktats, hugs and kisses mixed with stony pronouncements: "It's very easy to be number one: find the guy who is number one, and score one point higher than he does." He had reached some compromise in his mind that fatherhood could be distilled; short, concentrated (but sincere) bursts of high intensity could equal . . . whatever it was that other fathers did. All I knew was, if that was the price of medicine, it was simply too high.
From my desert plateau, I could see our house, just beyond the city limits, at the base of the Cerbat Mountains, amid red-rock desert speckled with mesquite, tumbleweeds, and paddle-shaped cacti. Out here, dust devils swirled up from nothing, blurring your vision, then disappeared. Spaces stretched on, then fell away into the distance. Our two dogs, Max and Nip, never grew tired of the freedom. Every day, they'd venture forth and bring home some new desert treasure: the leg of a deer, unfinished bits of jackrabbit to eat later, the sun-bleached skull of a horse, the jawbone of a coyote.
My friends and I loved the freedom, too, and we spent our afternoons exploring, walking, scavenging for bones and rare desert creeks. Having spent my previous years in a lightly forested suburb in the Northeast, with a tree-lined main street and a candy store, I found the wild, windy desert alien and alluring. On my first trek alone, as a...
About the Author-
- Paul Kalanithi was a neurosurgeon and writer. He grew up in Kingman, Arizona, and graduated from Stanford University with a BA and MA in English literature and a BA in human biology. He earned an MPhil in history and philosophy of science and medicine from the University of Cambridge and graduated cum laude from the Yale School of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha national medical honor society. He returned to Stanford to complete his residency training in neurological surgery and a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience, during which he received the American Academy of Neurological Surgery's highest award for research. He died in March 2015. He is survived by his large, loving family, including his wife, Lucy, and their daughter, Elizabeth Acadia.
November 2, 2015
Author and physician Kalanithi had nearly completed his residency in neurosurgery at Stanford when he was diagnosed with Stage lV lung cancer at the age of 36. Despite the stubborn progression of his disease, Kalanithi was able to write, work, and delve into a number of profound issues before the end of his life, documented here (his wife provides the epilogue). As a youth in Arizona, Kalanithi was unsure whether he wanted to pursue medicine, as his father did, or if literature and writing were his calling. This inspiring memoir makes it clear that he excelled at both. Kalanithi shares his career struggles, bringing readers into his studies at Yale (including cadaver dissection), the relentless demands of neurosurgery, and the life-and-death decisions and medical puzzles that must be solved. After he begins cancer treatment, Kalanithi strives to define his dual role as physician and patient, and he weighs in on such topics as what makes life meaningful and how one determines what is most important when little time is left. He also shares the challenges of colleagues: an oncologist who walks a tightrope between hope and honest reality; a fellow doctor who commits suicide after losing a patient; Kalanithi's wife, also a doctor, bearing witness to her husband's decline even as she gives birth to their child. This deeply moving memoir reveals how much can be achieved through service and gratitude when a life is courageously and resiliently lived.
Starred review from October 15, 2015
A neurosurgeon with a passion for literature tragically finds his perfect subject after his diagnosis of terminal lung cancer. Writing isn't brain surgery, but it's rare when someone adept at the latter is also so accomplished at the former. Searching for meaning and purpose in his life, Kalanithi pursued a doctorate in literature and had felt certain that he wouldn't enter the field of medicine, in which his father and other members of his family excelled. "But I couldn't let go of the question," he writes, after realizing that his goals "didn't quite fit in an English department." "Where did biology, morality, literature and philosophy intersect?" So he decided to set aside his doctoral dissertation and belatedly prepare for medical school, which "would allow me a chance to find answers that are not in books, to find a different sort of sublime, to forge relationships with the suffering, and to keep following the question of what makes human life meaningful, even in the face of death and decay." The author's empathy undoubtedly made him an exceptional doctor, and the precision of his prose--as well as the moral purpose underscoring it--suggests that he could have written a good book on any subject he chose. Part of what makes this book so essential is the fact that it was written under a death sentence following the diagnosis that upended his life, just as he was preparing to end his residency and attract offers at the top of his profession. Kalanithi learned he might have 10 years to live or perhaps five. Should he return to neurosurgery (he could and did), or should he write (he also did)? Should he and his wife have a baby? They did, eight months before he died, which was less than two years after the original diagnosis. "The fact of death is unsettling," he understates. "Yet there is no other way to live." A moving meditation on mortality by a gifted writer whose dual perspectives of physician and patient provide a singular clarity.

Can life remain full and rewarding even while one is living under a death sentence? This is the question now-deceased neurosurgeon Kalanithi asked himself after receiving a late-stage lung cancer diagnosis. Newly married and almost ready to complete his residency, at 34 Kalanithi was faced with a momentous decision: Should he continue with a promising medical career, or fall back on his first love of writing while taking care of his health? Fortunately for the readers of this moving memoir, he decided to do both. Kalanithi describes his life-changing decision to set aside the pursuit of a doctorate in literature in favor of attending medical school and then recounts the discovery and progress of his illness, along with the inevitable upheaval in his personal life. A precious highlight here is the heartrending epilogue penned by his wife, Lucy, following Kalanithi's passing shortly after she became pregnant. This eloquent, heartfelt meditation on the choices that make life worth living, even as death looms, will prompt readers to contemplate their own values and mortality.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
- Entertainment Weekly "I guarantee that finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option. . . . Part of this book's tremendous impact comes from the obvious fact that its author was such a brilliant polymath. And part comes from the way he conveys what happened to him--passionately working and striving, deferring gratification, waiting to live, learning to die--so well. None of it is maudlin. Nothing is exaggerated. As he wrote to a friend: 'It's just tragic enough and just imaginable enough.' And just important enough to be unmissable."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Paul Kalanithi's memoir, When Breath Becomes Air, written as he faced a terminal cancer diagnosis, is inherently sad. But it's an emotional investment well worth making: a moving and thoughtful memoir of family, medicine and literature. It is, despite its grim undertone, accidentally inspiring."--The Washington Post "Paul Kalanithi's posthumous memoir, When Breath Becomes Air, possesses the gravity and wisdom of an ancient Greek tragedy. . . . [Kalanithi] delivers his chronicle in austere, beautiful prose. The book brims with insightful reflections on mortality that are especially poignant coming from a trained physician familiar with what lies ahead. . . . The narrative voice is so assured and powerful that you almost expect him to survive his own death and carry on describing what happened to his friends and family after he is gone."--The Boston Globe "Devastating and spectacular . . . [Kalanithi] is so likeable, so relatable, and so humble, that you become immersed in his world and forget where it's all heading."--USA Today "It's [Kalanithi's] unsentimental approach that makes When Breath Becomes Air so original--and so devastating. . . . Its only fault is that the book, like his life, ends much too early."
- Cheryl Strayed "[When Breath Becomes Air] split my head open with its beauty."
- Atul Gawande "Rattling, heartbreaking, and ultimately beautiful, the too-young Dr. Kalanithi's memoir is proof that the dying are the ones who have the most to teach us about life."
- Ann Patchett "Thanks to When Breath Becomes Air, those of us who never met Paul Kalanithi will both mourn his death and benefit from his life. This is one of a handful of books I consider to be a universal donor--I would recommend it to anyone, everyone."
- Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery "Inspiring . . . Kalanithi strives to define his dual role as physician and patient, and he weighs in on such topics as what makes life meaningful and how one determines what is most important when little time is left. . . . This deeply moving memoir reveals how much can be achieved through service and gratitude when a life is courageously and resiliently lived."--Publishers Weekly "A moving meditation on mortality by a gifted writer whose dual perspectives of physician and patient provide a singular clarity . . . Writing isn't brain surgery, but it's rare when someone adept at the latter is also so accomplished at the former."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[A] moving and penetrating memoir . . . This eloquent, heartfelt meditation on the choices that make live worth living, even as death looms, will prompt readers to contemplate their own values and mortality."--Booklist "Dr. Kalanithi describes, clearly and simply, and entirely without self-pity, his journey from innocent medical student to professionally detached and all-powerful neurosurgeon to helpless patient, dying from cancer. Every doctor should read this book--written by a member of our own tribe, it helps us understand and overcome the barriers we all erect between ourselves and our patients as soon as we are out of medical school."
- Gavin Francis, author of Adventures in Human Being "A tremendous book, crackling with life, animated by wonder and by the question of how we should live. Paul Kalanithi lived and died in the pursuit o

A JSON Feed Of Web Concepts to Integrate Into API Design Tooling
A JSON Feed Of Web Concepts to Integrate Into API Design Tooling
See why one developer designed a JSON feed of web concepts and prototypes to hold onto for later use.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
I created a JSON feed of the web concepts and specs over at Erik Wilde's (@dret) site WebConcepts.info, so that I could easily import the specs into my Twitter and LinkedIn scheduling tools. I want to be able to schedule a tweet a day until I've exhausted all of the critical web concepts and supporting specs that Erik is showcasing in his work. Digital literacy, when it comes to these concepts, and proficiency at applying the specifications across the APIs that are driving growth in the sector is super important, so I want to help.
After I created the JSON file, Erik went ahead and crafted an official one derived from mine, but he did a nicer, and more complete job than I did. He initially only did the web concepts, but right before I was ready to publish this he did the specs edition as well. Now you can use the direct links to the JSON (or XML) in his GitHub repo, or fork the project and integrate directly into your platform.
I am going to get to work on some proof of concepts, and prototypes to demonstrate how I'd like to see these web concepts and specs be integrated with API design tooling and API developer portals. I'm just getting started with these thoughts but I would like to see auto-complete, tool tips, and other design time HTTP literacy solutions emerge and evolve. I hate to admit it, but many API developers and architects are probably not looking past their API design tooling and services, and the integrated development environments (IDEs) they depend on each day when it comes to their web literacy. Erik's hard work to showcase these building blocks of the web is a great start, and I hope provides us all with some essential curriculum that we can deliver straight to developers, where they are already working.

Kathryn Hayes
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 0114 273 8951
Year of call: 2000Book BarristerDownload Details
Kathryn read Law and Criminology at the University of Sheffield and did the BVC at Nottingham Law School. She was called to the Bar by Middle Temple in October 2000. After a number of years in private practice (where she was the first person in England and Wales to complete a 12-month employed pupillage), she joined Chambers in January 2007.
Kathryn practises primarily in family law (children) and inquests. Until 2018 she also had a civil practice including defendant and claimant personal injury, occupiers' and employers' liability, contract disputes and housing and mortgage disputes. She was successful in the Court of Appeal 'pothole' case of Crawley v Barnsley MBC [2017] EWCA Civ 36. She continues to undertake some taxation/ revenue and administrative cases.
Kathryn regularly provides interactive training on safeguarding, the family justice system, family law and court skills to local authorities, social workers and multi-disciplinary groups of public sector workers. Until 2015 she wrote and delivered the Family Law module of the MA in Professional Practice for social workers at the University of Sheffield and consistently had excellent feedback on this course from both lecturers and students.
Kathryn has also delivered training and workshops on various areas of civil law and procedure and has written and delivered sessions on witness training for employees of commercial organisations and local authorities.
Outside Chambers, Kathryn enjoys: spending time with her 3 children; sport – she supports Barnsley FC and Castleford Tigers RLFC and is a Level 2 Rugby League coach; swimming and walking (although not both at the same time!); music; and reading, especially historical fiction.
- Assistant Coroner, Derby and Derbyshire – from October 2016
- Deputy District Judge, North Eastern Circuit – appointed March 2019
- Family Law Bar Association
- Junior Counsel to the Crown
Family - Children
Kathryn's practice encompasses private and public law as well as FLA injunctions.
Public Law
In care cases Kathryn acts for local authorities, parents, children and intervenors/ additional parties, with a good understanding of issues across the spectrum. She works hard to ensure that parents, particularly vulnerable ones, have the best possible representation and takes time to explain to them what is happening in court and to their case in general. She has represented a number of parents with learning or mental health difficulties and is sympathetic when dealing with clients with addiction problems or those involved in relationships characterised by domestic abuse. When representing the local authority her aim is always to be "firm but fair" so that parents who face losing their children are dealt with in a professional and understanding manner.
LA v W & S: Representing a local authority in a case taking 2½ years and involving 5 experts dealing with the father's disability. This case then generated a civil damages claim brought by the father against the local authority. As Kathryn also had a civil practice at this time she was able to draft the defence to this claim and advise the local authority on settlement and costs.
LA v H & L: Representing a father in care proceedings involving 7 children; father was just above the Official Solicitor level and so required considerable time in explanation of his position and advice as to the way forward.
LA v C, C & C: Representing a 15-year-old child in a second set of care proceedings following a three-year matter involving factitious illness, which the parents had initially won.
LA v F and N: Representing a local authority in a five-day final hearing where father changed his position on numerous occasions and produced a mobile telephone recording of conversations he had set up with the mother to prove her involvement in breaching contracts of expectations.
Private Law
Kathryn undertakes both privately funded and legal aid work and aims to resolve as many disputes as possible by way of negotiation and agreement. Even where this is not possible she is mindful that parents will have to continue to work together after proceedings have ended and will look to ways in which communication can be improved and disagreements reduced. This will often involve lengthy discussions with litigants in person. She also acts for children on occasions when guardians are appointed.
Kathryn undertakes FLA injunctions (non-molestation and occupation orders) for both applicants and respondents and provides tailored and realistic advice on the best way to deal with all such cases. Her children practice enables her to offer advice and support across the whole spectrum of issues which might arise and to look to achieve an holistic solution for every set of circumstances.
G v V: Representing a mother in a private law dispute which became care proceedings after discovery that her partner was on the Sex Offenders Register.
N v B: Representing a French national mother in a residence dispute between two professional parents; father subsequently appealed the decision reached but eventually withdrew that appeal.
S v P & C: Representing an 11-year-old child in a contact dispute where he was the only child of 8 living with his father and there were contact difficulties with his stepfather and his siblings.Book BarristerBack to top
Kathryn accepts instructions for all parties who might become involved in inquests, from families through RTC drivers and care homes to Government departments, and is familiar with both jury and non-jury inquests. She has been on the Attorney-General's panel of Junior Counsel to the Crown since 2012 and regularly represents the MoJ in custodial death cases, including suicides. She brings a sympathetic and sensitive approach to cases where people are inevitably emotional and anxious.
Kathryn was appointed as an Assistant Coroner in October 2016 and has presided over inquests involving suicides and unlawful killing, medical/ hospital deaths including mental health issues, road traffic collisions and accidents. She has gained a reputation with interested parties, lawyers and the media for being firm but fair in the courtroom with a courteous and compassionate approach to all who appear before her.
H-B: representing the MoJ in a prison jury inquest involving issues of mental health and drug use within the prison.
R-G: representing a care home facing allegations of neglect after the death of an elderly resident with dementia shortly after admission.
D-B: presiding over an inquest involving a stabbing within the local drug-dealing community.Book BarristerBack to top

I wanted to share a few games I put together for the backyard to help entertain the kids at the BBQ. I got these ideas from the Family Fun magazine. I remember seeing them and thinking how fun they looked but never did them. This party was a perfect excuse to pull out the duct tape and noodles. I went to the dollar store to collect the noodles. And I have to remember if I need noodles for Labor Day weekend I need to get them in July because they were all out. It was only by luck that someone had just returned a bunch the day I went into my 3rd Dollar Tree.
First up were the hurdle jumps or soccer arches depending on how you want to use them. I went to my local True Value hardware store and picked up 3 foot, 1/2 inch dowel rods.
They were not straight as you can see, but it didn't matter. I marked off 12 inches and used a small hand saw to cut them. One end is going in the ground and the other is covered by a pool noodle, so it doesn't have to be pretty.
I pounded the rod into the ground with a mallet and then after my four year pounded a few more times just to make sure it was secure she added the noodles to the dowel rods.
We spread them around and the kids really had fun playing with them. It was such a fast and easy little project. Once I found more noodles I decided to make one more game. I didn't take pictures of how I put it together, but it was very easy also.
I know some of you have already started school but our first day is tomorrow and I am pretty sad about it. I will miss them so much, it always takes a while to get used to them not being around during the day. I do look forward to organizing the house though. It seems to slowly get out of order all summer and now I need to clean it up. Maybe I can get rid of some toys since they won't be around to stop me, ha ha ha.
I hope it is sunny tomorrow so it won't look funny that I am wearing my sunglasses all day.
Hope you had a great Labor Day Weekend! And if your kiddos are starting school I wish them and you luck!
