STORY FROM: Hip & Knee Implant Litigation
Claims Against Co-Designer of M2a Hip Implant Dismissed for Lack of Jurisdiction
May 8, 2018
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — An Indiana federal judge has dismissed claims against a Florida doctor who allegedly helped design Biomet's M2a metal-on-metal hip replacement device, ruling that the plaintiff failed to provide evidence supporting personal jurisdiction.
On May 3, Judge Robert L. Miller of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana also dismissed the doctor's Florida-based company from the lawsuit.
Minnesota resident Ronald McLevis sued Biomet Inc., Dr. John Cuckler, and his company Alabama Medical Consultants Inc. (AMC), alleging his Biomet M2a metal-on-metal hip replacement device, which was implanted on May 9, 2005, was defective.

Google's biggest event of the year is about to get underway.
The company's developers conference, Google I/O, is just hours away so naturally the rumor mill has already kicked into high gear. At this year's event, we expect to hear much more about the next version of Android, Google's plans for its Assistant, and what's going on with its VR platform, Daydream.
Of course, as with every year, there are bound to be a few surprises as well. But for now, here's a look at everything we're expecting to see (and, in some cases not see) at I/O.
Android O(reo?)
Though Google already released the first developer preview for Android O (the version of Android after N, or Nougat), I/O is when well finally hear about what's next for Android in much, much, more detail. Given what weve seen in the preview, though, we know improvements to notifications and battery life are likely to be a big focus. We also know customizable app icons for different device types, picture-in-picture and improved autofill are also on the table.
As for the name, its anyones guess. The company could go the crowd-source route like it did last year, or it could have the name already picked out. The current favorite, though, seems to be Android Oreo and not just because it's one of the only sugary treats that starts with the letter "O."
Earlier this year, Oreo released a mobile game that encourages users to snap photos of cookies with their phones in order to virtually "dunk" the cookies through space. The game, which uses Google Earth satellite imagery, was developed in partnership with Google. Coincidence? Maybe, but we're still preparing for some Oreo sightings at I/O anyway.
Google Assistant
Googles Assistant had its official coming out party at last year's I/O, and we're expecting the digital helper will be one of the stars of this year's event.
Though Google has already been slowly opening up Assistant to third-party developers, these efforts will likely accelerate at I/O. Up until now, outside developers have had to request access to start building "actions" for Assistant. Likewise, prospective hardware makers who want to integrate with Assistant have been limited to the developer preview for the Assistant SDK, which has been billed as more of an experimental release than something ready for commercial partners.
We expect both those to change at I/O. Look for Google to begin letting more app developers into Assistant and updates on new Assistant-enabled hardware.
The second day of I/O is set to begin with a keynote from Google's head of virtual reality, Clay Bavor. While it seems pretty safe to say we'll get an update on Daydream, the company's mobile VR platform, some signs suggest augmented reality will also be on the agenda.
Notably, Google's Project Tango lead, Johnny Lee, is scheduled to join Bavor onstage, suggesting we may finally get that Daydream-Tango integration we've been waiting for. While we're definitely due for updates on Tango, Google's sensor tech that brings high-level augmented reality experiences to smartphones and tablets, the grouping with the VR portion of the keynote suggests Google is poised to make some serious AR news.
Android Wear
Android Wear 2.0 was unveiled at last years event and considering the update is still (very) slowly making its way to watches, don't expect a huge update on this front. Still, judging by the schedule for I/O, it does sound like the team will have a few smaller updates to share.
Though it has been one of the most memorable sessions for the past few years of I/O, it doesn't look like we'll hear much if anything, from Google's experimental Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group. Other than the Project Jacquard launch at SXSW earlier this year, the ATAP team has been very quiet ever since the group's leader, Regina Dugan, left the company for Facebook last year. And with no sessions on the agenda, it seems like we'll have to keep waiting to find out what's going on with ATAP.

Good Personal Trainer Or Bad
Do personal trainers really prevent injuries? Working out is one of the healthiest and smartest ways you can get your body in shape. People usually start with diets and home workouts, because they don't know how to use gym machines properly or they're are afraid of injuries. Luckily, there are plenty of experts you can hire to help you with your training, but not all of them have the same knowledge. In this article, we'll cover what makes a good personal trainer and if they're really necessary.
How to pick your personal trainer?
If you decide to hire a professional trainer to help you with your workouts, you should pick someone that keeps you motivated and understands your needs. You need a trainer who understands your schedule, goals, and of course, fits your budget. If you don't enjoy your workouts you won`t stick to them, that's why you need a trainer who will give you new and fresh ways to work out every time you feel burnt out.
Good trainers
What makes a good personal trainer, is not their certificate or diploma because almost everyone can get those. It's their dedication to their clients and knowledge about exercising and fitness in general. They should be able to ensure everyone can have a good and healthy exercise routine. A good personal trainer can provide you with creative, fun and effective workouts, they can give you a non-judgmental support and ensure you hit your goals. A lot of people have old injuries and good trainers will ask about them so they can build you a proper workout plan to avoid any other injuries.
– Hiring a professional
Even if you know the proper form for your exercises; overexertion and bad nutrition can lead to injuries and accidents. Hiring a professional to assist you with your workouts will ensure that you're not pushing yourself too hard and that you're refueling your body in the most efficient and healthy way. Also, you should keep in mind that personal trainers are not psychic, and if you feel bad after or before a workout you should let them know, so they can design a workout that better suits your current state.
And bad trainers
On the other hand, bad trainers can cost you money, time and even health if they teach you the wrong way of working out. One of the signs that your trainer is not a professional is their own body shape. We know that appearance doesn't matter in a lot of professions, but when it comes to fitness, your trainer needs to be in shape and look like they can do all the exercises they require from you.
– Outside your comfort zone
If your trainer pushes you to your limits and outside your comfort zone, you can achieve much more in a smaller period of time. But, if you are collapsing and puking after every workout, that's a sign from your body to stop. If your trainer doesn't think so, it's time to find a new one. That kind of unprofessional behavior can be very dangerous and even lead to permanent injuries. If you find yourself in that situation, you should consult a personal injury lawyer, because your injuries during the workouts with your personal trainer are their responsibility and you should be compensated for that.
As you can see, personal trainers can be very useful, they can help motivate you, teach you the proper ways of using gym equipment and most importantly, prevent injury. However, bad ones can do some serious damage to your body if you don't get rid of them in time. The pros definitely outweigh the cons; and if you are not familiar with exercising, you should always look for help from the experts.

America news
Seegrid (http://www.seegrid.com/europe-products) introduced two European products on their new Europe Products website. The website includes the Guided by Seegrid P50 C Tow Tractor and the GT45 Tow Tractor. The Guided by Seegrid patented vision technology provides simple, affordable, flexible automation for the movement of flatbed cars, trains, or carts.
Peter Bak, European Representative for Seegrid, explained that Seegrid is poised for dramatic growth among manufacturers and distributors in Europe during 2014. Bak reported, "The growing need for intelligent – simple and flexible – Material Handling automation that can present a fast return on investment highlights Seegrid as the best choice for European companies in 2014." Seegrid products and Bak will be at CeMAT May 19-23, 2014, located at Hall 27, Booth H12.
No facility modifications or design changes required as the Guided by Seegrid P50 C tow tractor uses vision-guidance in the existing infrastructure to navigate throughout a facility--no wires, laser targets, tapes or magnets needed for navigation. This vehicle is only available in Europe.
The GT45 Tow Tractor can also automate the movement of flatbed cars, trains, or carts using Seegrid's patented vision-guided technology. Simply attach the load to the GT45, type in the route on the keypad, and the flexible AGV is ready for transport. Both vehicles are only available in Europe.
CeMAT 2014 will boast a new look with five clearly defined Technology Zones, together with new user focus topics and special events, will give visitors a concentrated overview and an opportunity to showcase products and services under prioritized headings. Offering an extensive range of services to help exhibitors plan display and generate new business leads on the basis of presentation in Hannover, CeMAT will be building on its role as a key driver of the intralogistics industry in 2014.
Guided by Seegrid flexible AGVs utilize vision-guided technology for navigation, with no changes to the infrastructure. The innovative technology allows vehicles to be trained and deployed in a warehouse, distribution center, or manufacturing facility quickly and efficiently, eliminating non-value-added repetitive tasks. The vision system provides operators complete route flexibility, as the AGV routing can be re-programmed in a matter of minutes supporting the up-to-date needs of every facility.
Based in Pittsburgh, PA, Seegrid (www.seegrid.com), the prognosis for continued growth for Seegrid is exceptional, and whether developing robotic vision-guided solutions for manufacturing, warehousing or distribution centers, Seegrid is part of the reform for the materials handling industry for Europe.

The core of the Omega3 is it's durable, chrome plated all marine brass, levered servo valve - one of diving's most unique designs. It delivers airflow that is proportional to your demand. No more sudden rush of air at depth or fluttering when you're shallow. We accomplish this with an ingenious two chamber balanced design that provides pressure assisted air-flow and near zero inhalation effort. This means that unlike other regulators, the Omega3 has no need for an inhalation-effort adjustment knob.
The Omega3 valve is constructed from a tough and corrosion resistant chrome plated marine brass valve that has better cold water performance and even a better breathing experience than standard plastic valve designs. The all metal valve encourages condensation of water vapor from your exhalation on the valve housing. When you inhale, condensed water vapor circulates with the airflow and helps to reduce dry mouth and increase your overall level of comfort. The servo valve also has no up or down, meaning that it's a truly ambidextrous breather. This design allows you to comfortably route your hoses anyway you like and makes the Omega3 a great choice in an emergency as an backup air source.
The positioning of the side exhaust valve is another example of purposeful design. Keeping exhaust bubbles out of your field of view is a huge benefit for all divers. Photographers & videographers however will be especially thankful for the unobstructed views.
The Omega3 second stage comes paired with our new first stage FDXi. The cold forged, over-balanced diaphragm FDXi is environmentally sealed and comes with our patented Dry Valve Technology (DVT). It's in-line design limits the pressure loss inherent in L type first stage designs making the FDXi more efficient and lighter due to it's compact form
- First Stage FDXi....DVT Dry Valve Technology....Reduced weight
- The Pneumatically Balanced - consistent performance at any depth
- Environmentally Sealed diaphragm - cold water ready
- 4 Low Pressure and 2 High Pressure Ports....Angled ports for ideal hose routing
- Improved flow rate over standard right angle first stages.

Focus on this: A nice little bouquet for Beyoncé; a new puppy for Bieber; a big fat cheque for Megyn Kelly; and a disaster for an antique guitar.
Doug Camilli: Ben Stiller wields the world's longest selfie stick
Ben Stiller, out promoting Zoolander 2, showed up in London's Leicester Square the other day for the film's British première, toting the world's longest selfie stick.
To forestall any doubts about this milestone in human accomplishment, Stiller brought along some Guinness World Records people.
He used the device to take a picture of himself with co-stars Owen Wilson, Penélope Cruz, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig, plus co-writer Justin Theroux and assorted others.
A selfie stick is a cultural icon with a camera at one end and a self-obsessed blockhead at the other. This version, 8.55 metres long, was made by splitting a regular selfie stick and putting a window-washing pole in the middle.
Well, it's no sillier than the movie, which promises to be truly ridiculous. It opens in North America on Friday, Feb. 12.
Stiller is 50.
News you need: Justin Bieber has adopted a puppy. "New addition to the family, his name is Phil," Justin captioned the first Instagram photo of the black Lab pup.
There's also a little Instagram video of Phil with Esther, the chocolate Yorkshire terrier Justin got last year.
A big fat book deal is the best revenge: Megyn Kelly, the Fox newscaster who got Donald Trump so riled up, is about to sign a book deal worth a cool US$11 million, according to Deadline.com.
The well-informed website says her agent is "not calling it a memoir," but says this is indeed what it will be. The contract is with HarperCollins, which has close corporate connections to Fox News. The volume will appear next fall, right near U.S. election time.
Kelly is 45.
Strange story about Quentin Tarantino's picture The Hateful Eight:
The Martin guitar company has a museum, in Pennsylvania, and it loaned the production a 145-year-old six-string. In one scene, Kurt Russell's character snatches the instrument from the woman played by Jennifer Jason Leigh and smashes it against a wall.
Naturally, the old switcheroo was planned. Six cheapo replicas were ready, in case retakes were needed. But nobody told Russell, who busted the rare old guitar to matchwood.
Industry website SSN quoted the picture's sound mixer Mark Ulano: the swap idea "somehow … didn't get communicated to Kurt," and so Leigh's shocked reaction was real, not acting. But Tarantino seemed delighted, Ulano indicated.
Museum director Dick Boak told Reverb magazine that Martin "will no longer loan guitars to movies under any circumstances."
Reviews of the movie have been mixed, gusting to negative.
Dept. of wretched excess: Before Beyoncé performed at halftime in the Super Bowl game Sunday, her husband Jay Z sent her 10,000 roses, Us Weekly reports.
The mag gives no details, but I checked, and florists in Santa Clara charge at least about US$65 per dozen. We're talking 833 dozen, assuming he got an honest count. Say he got a 75 per cent discount for volume. That's still about $13,500.
So what has your spouse given you lately?

It takes a certain skill to play a guitar well and I'm not talking about playing Guitar Hero or air guitar. Meet John Taylor, the world's fastest guitarist. He can bust out 600 beats per minute without breaking the electric guitar or melting the fingerprints off his fingers.
Playing Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee," in ultra fast mode, Taylor's starts off playing the tune at 170 BPM, drives it up to 250 BPM, ramps it up to 350, 380, 450, 500 and then finally to 600 BPM — all without missing any beats or taking any water breaks.
You can check out the insane shredding talent in the video below (600 BPM starts at 5:22).
Taylor's 600 BPM record trounced the previous record of 340 BPM for the same song that was held by Tiago Della Vega. By comparison, you can see Vega's 2008 record video here:
In an interview given to Denver's A.V. Club, Taylor said:
"I wanted to set the bar so high that anyone who wants to do it will see what they have to do and say, 'Oh forget it.' Just go ridiculously high, and make it seem damned impossible at first."
"Any time I had any free time, I'd be practicing that song. I absolutely hate it now."

Subscribe To Martin Sheen Heads To FX's Anger Management As Charlie's Father Updates
I've already subscribed
If one Sheen isn't enough to get you to tune into FX's Thursday night comedy series Anger Management, perhaps two will do the trick. Actor Martin Sheen, well known for his film roles as well as being father to Anger Management star Charlie Sheen, is set to appear in an upcoming episode of the series next month, and from the sound of it, should the show stick around we'll be seeing much more of him down the line.
Anger Management is currently amidst its first season at FX, with a ten episode order in play and the possibility for much more on the horizon, should FX decide to move forward with the comedy. According to the Huffington Post, should FX give Anger Management the 90-episode renewal it's poised to receive, Martin Sheen will be brought on board as a recurring cast member. As it stands now, The West Wing star is set to appear in the August 16 episode of the series, fittingly playing the role of Charlie's father.
FX president John Landgraf is quoted as saying he thinks bringing Martin Sheen on "will give an extra dimension and make it a multi-generational family show." I'll admit, there is something to the idea of seeing Martin and Charlie playing father and son together. It also inspires some random flashbacks of the feature Men at Work, which had Charlie starring alongside his brother Emilio Estevez as two garbage men, though I don't think they were technically playing brothers in that movie. Regardless, the family element was there! Not only would Sheen's planned involvement in Anger Management be a win for the series as there's likely no one better to play Charlie's father, especially given the obvious resemblance, but let's not forget, it's Martin Sheen. He'd be a great addition to just about any show.
Whether or not Anger Management is renewed beyond its initial ten-episode run remains to be officially announced. In the meantime, we'll get to see Martin play Charlie's father on Thursday, August 16 (9:30 p.m.). Check out some photos from the episode below. He looks pretty comfortable in that chair in the first photo...

Plot Summary:"Andy is a new teacher and an inner city high school that is like nothing he has ever seen before. The students have to go through a metal detector when they go through the front door and everything is basically run by a tough kid named Peter Stegman. Soon, Andy and Stegman become enemies and Stegman will stop at nothing to protect his turf and drug dealing business."
This cult classic makes it to DVD courtesy of Mosaic Entertainment, who are fast becoming one of the most noted suppliers of genre fare here in the UK.
The film follows Andrew Norris, a new teacher who is sent to teach music at a notorious inner city high school. The building looks like any average school these days so the filmmakers weren't too far off the mark with their twisted vision of the future.
Mr. Norris soon finds that a gang of punk kids led by Peter Stegman are the real force to be reckoned with, and they are soon at loggerheads as Norris refuses to let their actions go unchallenged.
At first the kids just cause a ruckus, but they soon begin attempting to kill students (including Michael J. Fox) and when a teacher dies because of them, Mr. Norris has had enough. He soon begins retaliating and the situation continues to go from bad to worse until it culminates in an attack on his pregnant wife the night of the school's new symphony orchestra debut.
It seems to be a case of love it or hate it, with many fans proclaiming that Timothy Van Patten should have won an Oscar for his performance as the misunderstood genius Stegman. The film has that cult 80's appeal stamped all over it, but the rather abrupt ending leaves you feeling a little unsatisfied.
Some of the acting and choreography verge on over the top, but it's an enjoyable film and well worth seeing. It's also more realistic than the similar and sort of loosely connected sequel, Class of 1999.
A fine and realistic look at high school life was wise beyond its years as two decades later, society is really like this.

Later, when she hit her thirties she was diagnosed with high cholesterol. The genetic predisposition had already taken the life of her grandmother at 52 through a heart condition, and later that of her father, who was also in his fifties.
"I knew I had to change my lifestyle," says Reisman. "The question was how?"
Reisman started to experiment with new low-fat recipes, incorporating them into her family's lifestyle, and eventually writing a popular cookbook, Rose Reisman Brings Home Light Cooking in 1993.
Although the book sold more than 400,000 copies, the idea of cutting back on fat was a hard sell to the wider community.
"People weren't interested in cutting back on fat – they looked at eating healthy as diet food," says Reisman. "What I wanted to tell them was that you didn't have to give up the taste, you could still eat well. Just healthier; it's a lifestyle without the sacrifice."
Fifteen years later, with trans-fats making headlines, and a legislative push on restaurants in North America to include detailed food content on menus, healthy eating is at the forefront. And Reisman has become a face of change in Canada.
For starters, she acts as a consultant for companies like McCain Foods Canada, where she has a series of popular ads. Then there's her own line of meals at the Pickle Barrel restaurants, 17 cookbooks, investment in a weight-loss chain in Toronto, a catering company that serves upwards of 2,000 meals daily, and a busy speaking schedule.
This month she will roll out a new product: home delivered meals right out of her kitchen. There is also talk of Rose-Reisman-branded restaurants in conjunction with the Pickle Barrel.
And while Reisman is familiar to Canadian food aficionados as a chef, nutritional consultant and author, she is also a savvy businessperson, recognized last year by York University's Schulich School of Business for "outstanding public contribution" for her wellness work.
Her background is certainly diverse. There aren't too many chefs out there with a bachelor of education from University of Toronto and an MBA from York University. She also has a masters in fine arts in theatre, and used to direct plays. In her earlier career, she taught junior high in East York. But Reisman feels her privately held holding company, The Art of Living Well, is a culmination of her many talents.
"I think my theatre training and my teaching helps me with my communication, the MBA helps with my business, and I'm also a registered nutritional consultant, so everything comes into play," says Reisman at her East York office.
Spread on Reisman's boardroom table are a variety of meals ready to be home delivered. There is a dish of lean flank steak and wild rice that comes in at 375 calories. Salmon with Japanese beans and couscous is 350 calories, while a triple chocolate brownie is 140 calories. All are genuinely delicious. By comparison, the calories in a Big Mac with cheese total 540.
Behind the boardroom is a 10,000-square-foot kitchen. Last year Reisman, along with her investors, which include the Pickle Barrel chain, purchased Catering By Davids', a high profile supplier of meals to movie productions.
The synergy was obvious. Reisman's husband Sam, also her biggest backer, was familiar with the company as the head of Rose Corp., the majority owner of Filmport, the mega film studio being built in the port-lands area of Toronto.
On this day, about a thousand meals are being produced for the crews of The Love Guru, starring Canadian comic Mike Myers, The Hulk and several other movies. Extras get vegetarian and meat pasta, while principal actors get to choose from a menu ranging from grilled New York steaks to Rose-Reisman- branded dishes of pan seared fillets of sole with charred corn.
Meanwhile, another thousand meals will be served to Reisman's corporate customers, including Ernst & Young, Deloitte & Touche and law firms such as Torys LLP.
"I literally just went from door to door knocking and cold calling until they let me in," says Reisman, who comes across as almost evangelical – but genuine – in her zeal for promoting the healthy lifestyle. Reisman even catered a free lunch to prospective clients so they could judge for themselves.
"After that, they realized that they could eat well and stay healthy."
When the catering company was purchased last February, revenues were in the $5 million range. Now it is doing $1 million a month in sales, thanks to marketing and ads.
But because it is dependent on film and corporate clients, Reisman says there is a need to diversify further. A strike by the film industry, for example, could put a serious crimp in profits.
So Reisman is using spare kitchen capacity to build a home replacement meal business. The new venture will go head to head with meals offered by other popular diet companies. Reisman says most of her competitors' meals are frozen or freeze-dried, but hers are fresh and use only the best ingredients.
It hasn't been all smooth sailing for Reisman. When she first announced she was partnering with McCain's, Canada's largest french fry maker, she was criticized for promoting a fried food company.
But working with the company, she managed to turn the image around by helping create more low-calorie products.
"They are really attempting to make healthier food," says Reisman.
Still Reisman realizes that she has developed a trust with consumers and there is a need to ensure that any future co-branding doesn't dilute her popular image.
The healthy restaurant concept isn't new. Florida's Darden Restaurants, owners of the Olive Garden chain, have big hopes for Seasons 52, which features an upscale menu with no single entrée coming in at more than 475 calories.
Reisman's backers see that trend coming to Canada, and have plans to expand.
"If you had told me 10 years ago that smoking would be banned in restaurants I would have laughed," says Blake Lyon, managing director of private equity for Rose Corp. – the holding company named after Reisman and controlled by husband Sam. "But I think things like healthy food, as we've seen with the trans fats issue, are coming to the forefront. This is where smoking was at a decade ago. People are much more aware."
Rose Corp., along with Reisman, has purchased a three-store chain of Weight Care diet clinics, and is expecting to launch another four by next year. The clinic takes a multi-disciplinary approach to weight loss with consultations by a dietician, personal trainer and a physician for each client.
"It's the only way I would approach a weight loss clinic, you really need a team approach," says Reisman.
Lyon says the expansion strategy will concentrate on the Ontario market first before any attempt at moving southward. Wanting to avoid repeating its unsuccessful attempt to break into the U.S. market in the '90s, this time Reisman is not undercapitalized and much more focused.
In the meantime, Reisman says work-life balance remains paramount. She recently released her 17th cookbook, with some of the proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, to which she has donated more than $1 million.
To maintain her prodigious output, she gets started at 5 a.m. daily and goes full tilt all day. Yet she still manages to cook dinner for her family (she has four children) and work out seven days a week.
"I'm convinced that if I didn't eat right in the first place and remain healthy, I wouldn't have the energy to do all this," she says. "I do this because it really works."

Five people, including two young children, escaped injury after a single-vehicle rollover crash Wednesday afternoon in northwest Fort Worth.
Their pickup truck was traveling around a blind curve on Cahoba Drive in Marion Sansom Park near Lake Worth when the occupants said an oncoming 18-wheeler was driving on their side of the street, leaving them no choice but to go off the road.
"Where he [the truck driver] would have banked the corner, we had to go straight from hitting him head-on," said Cory Cunningham, who was a passenger in the pickup.
The pickup became wedged between two cement walls in a ditch on the side of the road.
"I could have lost my family," said Cunningham.
Remarkably, the five people in the pickup, including three adults, a 4-year-old girl and an 8-month-old infant, were not injured. The driver of the pickup truck is also pregnant.
Cunningham said the driver of the semi stopped to help and called 911 but then left.
The family is still in shock, realizing it could have been much worse.
"We just have to pull ourselves out of another hole now," said Cunningham.
Police have not made any arrests and have not said if charges will be filed against any of the drivers involved.

Sport Day today!! As part of our graduation party. The children stayed over after the morning session, had lunch together and got themselves all wound up for the races!!! They couldn't wait to get out there and have fun. And we did it very .... professionally. Whistle? Check. Racing lanes? Check. Sport gear? Check.... Ready, steady... GO!!
Girl power!!
Boys rule!
We ran and hopped.
We also did a wheel barrow race (with great difficulty but giggling all the same!!!).
I have to admit: it was the best fun I have had in a while!!! The children were so eager to race. Nobody was really putting any pass on who won.. It was all for the love of the game. We also had obstacle races. They ADORE these types of games and I will definitely introduce them in our physical curriculum next year. What a great way to help them develop their gross motor skills and improve their hand eye coordination too. Fantastic!
Afterwards, we had "chichis" (some typical French sweet treats made out of waffle batter and served in a cone with sugar or chocolate). Yummy, yummy:
And parents tasted some delicious savoury wraps made out of buckwheat served with French sausages (typical food from Brittany in France where I come from):
Then the children were given a medal for their performance during our races, along with a photograph of the children in their graduation gowns and their portfolios. Each child climbed onto a low table to receive their gifts and parents turned into real paparazzi!!!! And then it was time to go home... and on leaving the party, some children glanced back quickly as they stepped on towards a new part of their life (well technically, they still have another 3 days before finishing at preschool!!)

"Long ago I came to understand that the arts are "reversible and nonreversible." Some arts are reversible and enable the recipient to approach the work from various sides, or even to go around it and have a good look at it, changing the spot of the perspective, and the direction of his looking at it according to his own preference, as is the case with architecture, sculpture, or painting. Other, nonreversible arts, such as music and literature, look like one-way roads on which everything moves from the beginning to the end, from birth to death. I have always wished to make literature, whish is a nonreversible art, a reversible one. Therefore, my novels have no end in the classical meaning of the word."
This is perhaps the key paragraph in Pavic's aesthetic. And it is far reaching. He sees the end of the 20th-century and the beginning of the 21st as not the end of the novel but the end of reading as we have known it. In a way, he preceded the computer, yet anticipated it. I believe it was Lance Olsen who said that Dictionary of the Khazars was the first book of the 21st century.
But if a book has no definite end, don't we have some sort of anarchy? Doesn't every reader approach it in a different way? Yes and no.
Think of a sculpture. Yes, every viewer's walk around a sculpture is unique, but that does not mean that there is not some sense of a whole that remains fairly consistent. The philosopher Edmund Husserl famously pointed out that when we didn't see a side of a box, we knew it was there, and that this knowledge seemed to precede some sort of empirical learning. It is just how we are.
If this sense transfers to Pavic's reversible novels, they will hold together, just in a different manner from nonreversible ones. They will hold together as a concatenation of events rather than a string of events. Neither is more "true" than the other.
What's more, let's face it, with nonreversible literary novels we often remember stuff that has little to do with their nonreversible quality. We remember a line. An image. A character's name or face or description. What's more, we remember a world or many worlds created by the author, worlds that, to a degree, hung together, and not solely because of a linear plot. In fact, in literary fiction the plot is often the least important part.
Not true with a mystery or a horror novel. A lot of science fiction is more about the building of a world than a linear plot, but a plot often shows up there as well.
Reading Pavic novels feels like doing a puzzle where there is no last piece. And its a delightful frustration.

Pavic on "reversible" and "nonreversible" art
Labels: Pavic

Non-linear literature is breaking the known formats and it's resemblant of one another new technology - the internet.ReplyDelete
I think that this is why it's so intriguing and accepted by today's generations.
I liked your sculpture metaphor.ReplyDelete
I agree, works of art should be reversible, multifaceted...

Sumter I (SwStr)
Thomas Sumter, born in 1734 near Charlottesville, Va., moved to South Carolina in 1764 and lived there until his death in 1832.
An American Revolutionary officer, he was commissioned a Lieutenant Colonel of the 6th Continental Regiment in 1776. He was appointed Brigadier General of the South Carolina Militia on 6 October 1780. Sumter distinguished himself in operations against the British in the Carolinas. He was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1789 to 1793 and from 1797 to 1801 when he became Senator. Sumter served in the Senate until 1810. He died on his plantation, "South Mount," near Stateburg, S.C., on 1 June 1832.
His name is commemorated by a city and a county of South Carolina, as well as by the historic fort in Charleston Harbor which Confederate forces bombarded, opening the Civil War.
The first Sumter was a side wheel steamer built as Junius Beebe, in 1853 at Algiers, La. She operated on the Mississippi and its tributaries as a towboat until early 1861 when she was purchased by the State of Louisiana from Charles H. Morgan's Southern Steamship Company. In January 1862, she was acquired by Capt. James E. Montgomery, CSN, for the Confederate War Department's River Defense Fleet. The steamer was refitted at Algiers as a cottonclad ram by the James Martin yard. Her bow was strengthened by 4-inch oak sheathing covered by 1-inch iron plates.
Cotton bales were compressed between double pine bulkheads for added strength.
Renamed General Sumter, the ram proceeded to Ft. Pillow, Tenn., on 17 April to be armed. On 10 May, defending the main avenue to Memphis, Montgomery's fleet of eight attacked the Federal ironclads. In this action at Plum Point Bend, 4 miles above Ft. Pillow, General Sumter, Capt. W. W. Lamb in command, steamed within 20 yards of Mortar Boat No. 16, whose projectiles were threatening the fort, and fired everything she had, including a rifle volley; two 32-pound shot pierced the iron blinds of the Union floating battery. Then General Sterling Price and General Sumter cooperated in a well executed coordinated attack, one after the other, ramming Cincinnati at full speed so that she lost her rudder and much of her stern; Cincinnati (whom Montgomery reported as Carondelet) had to be run ashore to avoid sinking. Thus, the Southern rams held off the Federal flotilla until the fort was successfully evacuated on 1 June. They then retired to Memphis to refuel.
Quickly following up the capture of Ft. Pillow, Union Flag Officer Charles H. Davis appeared off Memphis in force on 6 June. Montgomery, cornered without coal enough to retreat to Vicksburg, yet unwilling to scuttle his fleet, fought it out desperately in the Battle of Memphis. General Sumter rammed and seriously damaged Queen of the West, but eventually most of the Confederate vessels were destroyed or surrendered. General Sumter did not sink; badly shot up, she ran on the Arkansas shore, was captured, refloated, and renamed Sumter by the Union Navy. In August, she grounded again, downriver off Bayou Sara, La., and was abandoned except for spare-part raids on her machinery by the rest of the squadron at periods of low water. Before the local populace completed stripping her, Confederate authorities succeeded in setting fire to the hulk.

Bulgarian Bomb Set By Hezbollah For Iran Says Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
It has been reported that a bombing of a bus in Bulgaria on Wednesday was probably committed by a male suicide attacker. Those that were killed in the explosion were five Israeli tourists, the bus driver and the bomber. Israel feels that this attack was carried out by either an Islamist militant group or Iran itself. The attack has increased tensions between Tehran and Israel which has been building up over recent months. While Israel's prime minister publically denounced Hezbollah for the bombing, no evidence was offered to prove they were responsible. If no evidence exists linking Iran to the bombing, then the question being asked is did Hezbollah actually perpetrate the bombing?
While the investigation continues, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publically accused Iran of the attack. The alleged bomber seems to have been carried out by a male suicide attacker that had in his possession a fake Michigan driver's license. The prime minister also said that Iran and Hezbollah have been trying to engage in acts of terrorism in countries such as India, Kenya and Cyprus. Even in the United States an act of terrorism was committed when an Iranian attempted to assassinate the Saudi diplomat. Netanyahu's message was for the world powers to expose Iran as "the premier terrorist-supporting state that it is" and stop them from developing "the world's most dangerous weapons," a clear reference to Iran's nuclear program. However, the message coming out of Iran was one that accused Israel of committing its' own acts of terrorism.
Ramin Mehmanparast, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, accused Israel of trying to sway attention from their own terrorist activities by saying Iran was responsible for the bombing. He said Israel was engaging in "baseless accusations against other countries in order to distract the attention of the international community from its terrorist activities being carried out throughout the world." Also, that "the Zionist regime as master of state and organized terrorism has its hands in (the) blood of innocent Lebanese, Palestinian and other nationalities." Furthermore, the Iranian Embassy in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, made it clear that suggestions by Israel of Tehran's involvement in the bombing were "unsubstantiated" and that the assertion was politically motivated. While both sides blame each other for playing political games, there is no winner as seven people remain dead as a result of the bombing.
The investigation is continuing as fingerprints were being checked and other evidence collected at the scene. While Israel is certain Iran is responsible for the bombing, the Iranian Embassy says Iran condemns all terrorism and considers Bulgaria their friends. Tensions continue to rise between Israel and Tehran while investigators hope to find evidence that will shine light on the responsible party. However, until such evidence is discovered, is it fair for Israel to accuse Iran for the bombing? Is it possible that someone else is responsible for the bus bombing in Bulgaria? What do you think?
Sources confirm Hezbollah behind Bulgaria bombing of Jewish tourists
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a televised statement, accusing Iran of backing Hezbollah militants he said carried out Wednesday's deadly bombing of Jewish tourists in Bulgaria.

#CancelMyDebt Trends On Twitter As Debtors Urge Student Loan Default
Twitter erupts with #CancelMyDebt sentiments after Sen. Elizabeth Warren asked netizens to share their student loan stories. Click To Tweet
#CancelMyDebt trends on Twitter as emotional student loan debtors took to the popular micro-blogging website their frustrations on the debts they are still paying and urged the government to pay off their student loans.
Twitter erupts with poignant posts of Americans paying off their student loans and how their debts affected their lives following their graduation. The angered netizens expressed their opinions on the tax plan that granted America's 1% with a $1.5 trillion tax cuts while the government turns blind eyes over the student loan problem that the youth has been facing.
The apparent hashtag came after U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren encouraged students and graduates to share their stories using the #CancelMyVote hashtag to support her plan to cancel student loan debts of 95% of Americans currently paying for it. Warren's policy to cover the student loan repayment from an additional tax on top of the top 0.1%.
"I paid off my student loans after 10 years, but it took me getting a six-figure book deal to do it. Folks shouldn't have to hope for the equivalent of winning the lottery to have a future. #CancelMyDebt" wrote @nkjemisin on Twitter.
President Donald Trump signed the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" into law on December 2017 and have brought significant tax reforms. "For the wealthy, banks and other corporations, the tax reform package can be considered a lopsided victory given its significant and permanent tax cuts to corporate profits, investment income, estate tax, and more. Financial services companies stand to see huge gains based on the new, lower corporate rate (21%) as well as preferential tax treatment of pass-through companies. Some banks have said that their effective tax rate will drop under 21%.," Investopedia explained.
As the current tax plan consistently accommodates the rich, student loan debtors remain in limbo as the increasing interest rates and the piling debt are crippling their financial presents and even their futures. Student loans are a form of financial aid used to help students access higher education. Student loan debt in the United States has been snowballing since 2006, rising to nearly $1.56 trillion by 2019. Shockingly, the entire total loan debt of American equals 7.5% of the country's GDP.
There are approximately 45 million Americans who have an outstanding student loan of $37,172 on average at the time of graduation. On top of that, student loan also appears not to be evenly distributed and is disproportionately concentrated on the for-profit college sector.
Now, student loan debtors are calling for the government to default their debts. They argue that as the outstanding student loan debt totals 1.5 trillion and the tax cut equals the same, the government can afford to pay off all of student loan debts.
People tweeting #CancelMyDebt clarifies, however, that they are not asking for a loan default because they did not owe anything. They said that call was intended for the government to take actions to destroy the systems that allow student loan companies to exploit people with dreams.
"My reality is paying $1200 a month for my student debt ALONE and working 7 days a week over 4 different jobs. I'm not asking for a "hand out," I'm asking that we as a country address the insane cost those who are not wealthy have to pay to get higher education #CancelMyDebt," said @steeltoejilly on a Twitter post.
Another Twitter user also chimed in saying that interest hikes have ballooned her student loan debt even if she's paying them religiously. "I have four jobs in the education field right now. I graduated in 2005 with $100,000 in student loans. After a decade of payments, undergrad debt is over $200,000 bc of interest rates. I can't lease a car to get to work, so I walk. I don't own a bed. #cancelmydebt."
However, sentiments are polarized. A huge chunk of posts bearing the hashtag talks about their disagreement to Warren's plans. Most of them argued that student loans are student's decisions, and the government should not be burdened to pay for their obligations.
"#CancelMyDebt? Uh, no. Nobody forced you to take out student loans. Nobody forced you to major in something that won't land you a good job. Nobody else is responsible for your debt. It's your debt; it's your responsibility." Joe Walsh tweeted Wednesday.
Kurt Schlichter, a veteran, chimed in saying that Americans can serve in the military and reap the benefits of GI Bill as he did. "Well, you could have served your country and earned GI Bill benefits like I did. But you didn't. So I'm kind of unclear why you think I owe you anything.#CancelMyDebt? Nah. How about you #PayYourOwnDebt?" /apr
Coordinated Anti-Trump "Memetic Warfare" Emerged On Instagram
A group of independent researchers has found out that a coordinated black propaganda campaign targeting U.S. President Donald Trump has emerged in the popular social media platform, Instagram, in an effort to derail his reputation through "meme warfare."
The current political climate and the advent of social networking and its growing popularity in becoming platforms for social discourse created an arena for personality political wars, as seen in recent elections around the world. The camp of President Trump allegedly used the same strategy during the 2016 elections to launch targeted and coordinated personality assassination against presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton in an attempt to sway public opinion against the Democrat standard bearer at that time.
Russians are said to have created spoofed accounts both in Facebook and Instagram and impersonated American citizens to influence public opinion in favor of President Trump. The study published by Italian analytics firm Ghost Data revealed that they had seen similar activities, but now targeting President Trump instead.
The firm said that the U.S. president is experiencing illicit attacks, albeit on a limited scale, with fake profiles impersonating Americal citizens to spread virulent anti-Trump narratives in a coordinated attack to derail the president. The researchers also opened the possibility that while they were able to uncover a small operation, it could also be part of something bigger.
"We have uncovered a small operation that is a very likely part of something bigger," said Andrea Stroppa, the head of research at Ghost Data. "I get the feeling that someone out there is experimenting. Testing the waters. They know what they are doing."
Facebook, the owner of Instagram, said to Reuters that they are already investigating the apparent violations of the social network's Community Standards. They also have removed the profiles uncovered by the researchers. Interestingly, the company has been part of a highly publicized legislative inquiry on its role in the 2016 Russian intervention in the US elections.
The accounts that were removed were said to have violated rules of Instagram, such as using stolen images of other people and acting in tandem with other accounts to spew out vitriolic messages.
A spokesperson for Instagram told Reuters: "We are investigating the accounts in question and have already removed those that we've found to violate our policies. Accounts used to manipulate or mislead the public are not allowed on Instagram, and we will take action if we find additional violations."
The researcher said that they were able to discover 52,000 accounts on Instagram, which were generally anti-Trump, using such hashtags as #impeachtrump. While most of them were genuine accounts owned by actual people, they also have uncovered 350 "suspicious accounts" that's the main goal is specifically to overturn the U.S. president. Out of these, 19 accounts took the researchers interest by appearing to be interlinked and "waging incessant 'memetic warfare,' using multiple images and meme videos to attack Donald Trump and his administration.
There were already a total of 121,000 posts put out by all the 350 suspected account with more than 35.2 million "interactions" since October 2016, when they were first created. The researchers also found similarities and similar identifiable characteristics in the accounts, including their profile pictures. One block of five out of the smaller 19 subsets among all the suspicious accounts found by researchers was discovered to have been created on the same day last August, further supporting the thesis that these accounts are interlinked and could be part of a much bigger destabilization effort against the Republican leader.
"Their goal seems to be to infiltrate into (social media) networks that are much bigger," said Stroppa.
U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, through an independent report published last December, said the Russian government's Internet Research Agency created some 133 Instagram accounts in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign and used them to try to propagate dangerous narratives against the U.S. political system.
Stroppa, while being suspicious, said that he had not found any evidence that would link the 19 accounts his team discovered to any form of Russian interference.
"What you can say is that this digital campaign against Trump uses some of the same methods that were used to attack Hilary Clinton in 2016," he said.
While the study has a very tiny sample size against the total population of a billion Instagram users, Stroppa stressed that even a small number of accounts could destabilize a government structure if they will only be able to amplify their reach and make their messages heard by a lot of people.
South Korea Labor Force Shrinks, Blaming Economic Problems And Increasing Number Of Celibates
South Korea's population in 2030 will mostly consist of 65 years old and above. Its newborn rate drops to 0.95, which is 45% lower to maintain steady workforce. Click To Tweet
According to the research conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs (KIHSA), a growing number of South Koreans are declining to get married and are not even interested in dating. One of the possible reasons is because dating is expensive and dangerous.
The Korea Herald reported that last 2015, 90 percent of men and 77 percent of women between the ages of 25 to 29 are celibates. Most South Koreans decided to be single by choice because of economic problems, dating problems, and social issues.
The nation's overall unemployment rate is 3.4 percent, the highest record yet for 17 years. For the country's youth between ages 15 to 29, the unemployment rate is 10.8%. The job market in the country is famed to be very competitive. Most individuals spend their free time in schools to improve their professional skills and get certificates, which can help them land their dream jobs.
CNN's Sophie Jeong recently interviewed a 24-year-old male student named Kim Joon-Hyup to get to a better idea about the issue and get to know the views/opinions of the country's younger generation.
Kim is studying full time at Sejong University. But every weekday evening, he also attends another institution to study game design. Kim doesn't have time to date. If he was in a relationship, he will be sorry for her since he wouldn't be able to invest time.
For South Korean couples, dating and marriage are both expensive. Duo, a matchmaking industry, estimated that the usual cost per date is 63,494 won (around $55). Individuals who live with minimum-wage paychecks have to work more hours to afford a single date.
Meanwhile, to get married, couples spend an average of $90,000 for the overall wedding expenses, a 2013 survey reported. There is also a wedding tradition in South Korea, which they call "trading wealth." For example, if a female marries a doctor, her family needs to pay a considerable amount to the groom's family in exchange for an elite social status.
Dating in South Korea is not only expensive but can also be dangerous too. One of the major societal issues of the nation is sex crimes, illegal recording of sexual acts or voyeurism, and gender discrimination.
The National Police Agency reported a massive increase in sexual violence crimes. Data received from the 2008 sex crime survey revealed that there are 16,000 cases, and in 2017, the number of cases doubled. In most cases, the assault comes from the victims' lover or date.
Furthermore, dating does not end up in physical abuse. Last 2017, there have been more than 6,400 cases of unauthorized recording. Recently, a viral scandal involving famous K-Pop Star Jung Joon-young circulated on the internet. He was arrested last March and accused of taking videos of women during sex without their consent. Worst case scenario, he shares the said videos on the internet explicitly.
Another possible reason why most South Koreans prefer to be single is that they have a culture which values work and study over relationships. Last 2017 OECD stated that an average South Korean works almost 250 hours more compared to their United States counterpart.
South Korea is known to have the lowest birth rate in the world. Last December, it dropped to 0.95, which means that for every 100 women, only 95 children are born. For the nation to have a steady workforce, the birth rate should be 2.1.
This fact can result in a community mostly composed of older people in the future. Lee Jong-wha, an economist from the Korea University, predicted that by 2030 almost one-third of the South Korean population would be age 65 or older.
South Korean government is aware and have created programs to solve this upcoming labor force problem. Starting in 2005, it allocated 36 trillion won (US$32.1 billion) to lessen the financial burden to families. They offered monthly childcare subsidies and other incentives to young families.
Also, universities in South Korea are offer dating classes. For example, Sejong University offers a gender and culture course which covers topics related to choosing a suitable marriage partner and how to deal with breakups. This move also aims to teach students the idea that dating does not necessarily need to be expensive if one knows how to think creatively.
Nevertheless, to some critics, there are still a lot of things that should be done to make a significant impact to motivate the country.

LIMA, Peru — Like much of the world, Peruvians devour turkey for their Christmas meal, usually with rice, apple puree and a salad of potatoes, apples and raisins.
Yet if anyone — at least in the West — thinks that is unoriginal, then it bears recalling that turkeys come from the Americas and were unknown in the Old World prior to 1492.
The feast for "Navidad," as the holiday's called in Spanish, is typically washed down with wine, especially champagne or some other sparkling white, as well as the classic Peruvian cocktail of pisco sour, made from the local fortified white wine pisco blended with beaten egg white, sugar, a dash of lime and Angostura bitters.
As in many other predominantly Catholic countries, Peruvians are so eager to celebrate Christmas — and open their presents — that they do so as soon as Dec. 25 starts, in other words just after midnight on Christmas Eve.
Pisco sour
Most Peruvians make pisco sour by taste, without a written recipe. But approximate measures are:
-1 cup of pisco to one egg white
-1/3 cup of white sugar
-1/3 cup of lemon juice
-4 cups of ice cubes
First beat the egg white, then add all the other ingredients except the bitters, and blend briefly again. Once the pisco sour is served in a glass, add a dash of bitters to the cocktail, so that it is visible in the center of the froth.

In West Palm Beach, the crime of embezzlement is prosecuted under the state's theft laws. Just like theft, embezzlement is defined as willing fully taking someone's money or property without the person's consent, and with intent to (temporarily or permanently) deprive the person of it.
The distinguishing feature of embezzlement is that the person has legal access to the money or property in question. However, they don't have legal ownership of it. An example is a bank teller who is trusted to handle clients' money or a driver who is entrusted with a company car.
When the bank teller takes the clients' money, or the driver takes the company car, it is considered embezzlement. This is because they both have legal access to the money and car respectively. If someone not employed in the bank takes the same amount of money from the teller's pile, it is considered theft.
If you are accused of embezzlement, contact a white collar crimes attorney today.
How Embezzlement Is Classified
Embezzlement can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. There are four factors which are normally considered when placing the charge.
The first is the value of the property, or amount of money embezzled. Generally speaking, embezzling property or money of less than $300 is considered a misdemeanor. Anything amounting to $300 or more is considered a felony.
The second is the nature of the property embezzled. Embezzling a firearm, a controlled substance (illegal drug), any stop sign or fire extinguisher is charged as a felony. It doesn't matter whether the dollar value is less than $300.
The third is the defendant's criminal record. Anyone who has a prior conviction for embezzlement will be charged with a felony, even if the amount embezzled is less than $300.
The final factor is whether or not a State of Emergency has been declared by the governor. Embezzling critical supplies like medical equipment or law enforcement equipment during a state of emergency will draw a felony charge. It doesn't matter whether the dollar value of the equipment is less than $300.
In a nutshell, those are the four factors which can be used to determine whether or not embezzlement is charged as a misdemeanor or a felony.
Embezzlement as a Felony
Not every felony for embezzlement is the same. There are actually three possible felony classifications for embezzlement. These are felony of the first degree, felony of the second degree and felony of the third degree. Each of these has its criteria and stipulated punishments.
Felony of the First Degree
A person can be charged with a felony of the first degree, if they embezzled according to the following conditions:
• Money or property valued at $100,000 or more.
• Cargo in a shipper's loading platform which is valued at $50,000 or more.
• Property valued at $50,000 or more embezzled during a state of Emergency.
• The penalties for a felony of the first-degree conviction include a fine of up to $30,000; a prison sentence of up to 30 years, or both.
Felony of the Second Degree
A person can be charged with a felony of the second-degree if they embezzle according to the following conditions:
• Money or property of $20,000 or more, but below $100,000 in value.
• Cargo of less than $50,000 in a shipper's loading platform.
• Medical equipment or law enforcement equipment of $300 or more during a state of Emergency.
• Coordinating with one or more people to embezzle property or money worth $3,000 or more.
Felony of the Third Degree
A person can be charged with a felony of the third-degree if they embezzle according to the following conditions:
• Money or property of $300 or more, but below $20,000 in value.
• Embezzle the following kinds of property: a firearm, controlled substance, a will, fire extinguisher, commercially farmed animal or stop sign.
• Has two prior convictions for misdemeanor embezzlement.
• A person convicted of a third-degree felony for embezzlement can be fined up to $5,000 or jailed for up to 5 years, or both.
Embezzlement as a Misdemeanor
Similar to felonies, embezzlement misdemeanor charges don't come equal. A person who embezzles can be charged with a misdemeanor of the first or second degree. The parameters and punishments also vary.
Misdemeanor of the First Degree
First-degree misdemeanor is the most serious misdemeanor in West Palm Beach, punishable by a jail term of up to 1 year and a fine of up to $1,000. An example of this misdemeanor is theft of property with a value of $100 or more, but lower than $300.
Misdemeanor of the Second Degree
Second-degree misdemeanor is the least serious misdemeanor in West Palm Beach, and a conviction will result in a jail term of 60 days and a $500 fine. All misdemeanors that aren't classified by lawmakers are punishable as second-degree misdemeanors. An example of this misdemeanor is prostitution.

Lawren Michelle's line is feminine, romantic, and anything but boring. The constant splashes of color in the line are only fitting for a collection that is sure to stand out over so many other ready-to-wear collections. Michelle's collection can be mixed and matched, spans from comfortable to date night frocks, and boasts an array of stunning accessories. The line is perfectly tailored to fit all different shapes and sizes of women, making me truly aware that Lawren has created her line to be functional and beautiful with the contemporary woman in mind.
The ensembles were perfect for us LA girls, with the perfect amount of color to make you pop out of a crowd. Michelle's collection is comprised of separates and one pieces. I especially loved her short two-toed orange jumper- it screamed fall! It was paired with a short blazer and finished off with a skinny belt. It was interesting to see the print come out again- this time in a skirt, and matched with a polka dotted sleeveless top- an immensely different combination- yet, it worked so well!
Here come the brights! Lime green and hot pink separates were paired with high wasted polka dotted shorts and pants and the look was polished and professional. I never would have thought neon and polka dots mixed well, but I was absolutely wrong. Michelle's high wasted parachute pant stood out to me; paired with a crisp, white button down, these pants would be great for the office (plus, they looked ridiculously comfortable!). I enjoyed seeing the use of the lines' mixing and matching of fabrics. A pink neon dress with leather detailing was extremely effective in portraying that "good girl with an edge" look. The detail along the neckline added some extra "oomph" to the average style of the dress.
A huge theme of the line was khaki. Whether it was pants, a blouse, a skirt, a dress, or a full on pantsuit, the khaki alone or paired with the colorful blouses Lawren Michelle is known for were bold and beautiful.
I just about died when I glanced at the runway and a light green short dress with a cut out in the front waltzed by me- the color, the shape- everything was fabulous! I would wear it alone, or with a boyfriend blazer in cold weather. Lawren's royal blue based floral collection looked stunning on the models skin, and brought some added cheerfulness to the line. Michelle used this print in a dress (with cutouts, once again), and as a blouse paired with a royal blue, ruffled knee length skirt.
Lawren Michelle's flawless collection was a true success based on the fact that I, along with numerous other people that I spoke with, wanted to purchase everything on that runway. Check out Lawren Michelle's line and get a universal wardrobe that will flatter any figure!

text: Unlike Mutual Funds, writers don't have to reveal their past performances. Five days ago, Jeremy Cato recommended shorting TSLA: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/news/trans-canada-highway/reality-check-for-elon-musks-tesla-motors/article22548681/ He conveniently fails to mention that he has been spouting such hate since at least 2008. He even has the audacity to write, Far be it for me to say I told you so. This is pathological. He said TSLA wasn't a good buy at $24, it goes up to $291, then falls to $190, and he is patting himself on the back for an expert prognostication. Since he hides his performance from readers, I'll periodically update this thread to do the tracking for him. January 26, 2015: TSLA 206.97 January 21, 2015: Cato says short at 191 November 11, 2010 TSLA rises to 29.26, Cato calls that strange. http://http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/news/trans-canada-highway/company-losing-money-invest-anyway/article1392346/ June 30, 2010: Cato says Ford is a better investment than Tesla if you believe in EVs. http://www.ctvnews.ca/a-tale-of-two-ev-companies-1.528057 At that date, Ford $10.10, TSLA $23.83. Ford is currently trading at $15.10. Note that the S&P 500 is up nearly 100% since June 2010. Funny how Ford is labeled an EV company in 2010, yet still hasn't revealed a purpose-built EV in 2015.

Higher water bills may be coming to Jupiter customers
Jupiter Water Utilities customers may be paying about $17 more annually if rate increases are approved by the Jupiter town council at Tuesday's 7 p.m. meeting.
The increase for the average residential customer's monthly stormwater utility fee would go up from about a dime to $4.65.
The increase for the average residential customer's monthly water rate would go up about $1.31 to about $34.97.
The increase is needed to maintain service, replace aging equipment so that system safety and reliability is maintained and avoid larger rate increases in the future, according to town records.
Water rates in Jupiter are 21 percent lower than stormwater utility rates statewide, according to the Florida Association of Stormwater Utilities.
The proposed water increase applies to 90,000 commercial and residential Jupiter Utilities customers bordered by unincorporated southern Martin County to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Juno Beach to the south and Jupiter Farms Shopping Center, including Palm Beach Country Estates and Jupiter Country Club, to the west. Tequesta, which has its own water system, is not included.
Stormwater fee increases apply only to town residences and commercial properties.
