With sustained low oil prices, Algeria is searching for ways out of its economic crisis that do not rely solely on austerity measures.
Egypt's new capital is likely to be another urban failure.
Egypt's government is trying to bring independent labor organizations under the state syndicate's control, threatening one of the few remaining independent civil society actors.
The European Union is facing a number of challenges that could impact the block's relationships with China, including the refugee crisis, a rise in populist political parties, and Brexit.
If China and the UK can reach a trade deal, both sides would have increased leverage over the EU.
International efforts to advance women's political empowerment could serve as a lever to promote broader change in countries working toward consolidated democracies.
Corruption hardly topped the threat list when U.S. military forces and civilians first entered Afghanistan in 2001. But recognition of its devastating potential to undermine U.S. national security objectives is far higher today.
Despite Morocco's apparent success in cutting energy subsidies, the government is likely to face difficulties doing the same with staple goods.
Transporting Chinese goods to Europe by rail is far less profitable than sea transport, yet China subsidizes it to achieve its geostrategic goal of making a cluster of countries in the wide Eurasian space from China to Europe dependent on the Chinese economy and capital.
In early August, both houses of India's parliament overwhelmingly passed a landmark Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill that will bring India closer to a common market than ever before.

We were recommended this hotel by a friend and stayed for a week in early May 2013. It is well situated, with good views over the lagoon. St Mark's square just a few minutes' walk away.
The buffet breakfast was excellent and we ate on the terrace a couple of times with amazing views across to St Giorgi Maggiore. The room was extremely well appointed, comfortable and spacious.
One could spend much more on a hotel in Venice but we felt the Vivaldi offered great value for money. The staff we more than happy to help us plan our days out.

PWC workshop leader Donna Cavanagh, founder of HumorOutcasts Press/Shorehouse Books will share her insights at this year's conference. A former journalist, Donna has built a national following and has been published in First Magazine and USA Today among others. An author of four humor books, Donna speaks to writers about comedy and the new age of publishing. You can also find her and some very funny writers at: http://Humoroutcasts.com/
What is the most important asset one can have in writing humor?
The most important asset one can have in humor is a thick skin. Humor is subjective. No two people have the same sense of humor, so the chances of someone not liking what you write is pretty high. You will not please everyone ever with your humor. That possibility should never stop you from your desire to make people laugh.
Is finding a niche in humor important?
Establishing a niche is fine. Niches give writers a sense of comfort. They have a category in which to create something funny. But as writers develop, a niche might become restrictive. So the answer is that a niche should flow with your life.
You've been doing this for a while on Humor Outcasts and before as a columnist, do you respond to comments/hecklers? Or is that part of the thick skin process? What was the worst comment? Care to share? (Okay if you don't want to!!)
I get a good amount of "hate" mail on HO because it's a humor site, and humor is subjective, and the writers are sure to hit a nerve or two. Hate mail used to bother me, but not so much anymore. If they are legitimate commenters who have an issue with a post, I will post the comment and respond. Most of the legitimate comments are about the site's lack of political correctness which is true. You can't do humor and always worry about being PC. I do not respond to hecklers who use profane language or want to remain anonymous just because they want to yell and scream because they are filled with hate. I can now tell who are legitimate commenters and who are the people whose anger fuels their comments. My worst criticism was on one of my writer's work who is an atheist. The devout religious person who commented, went off on a tirade not about the writer's work but about me for creating the site, saying that I was the spawn of Satan and I deserved to die a long death. He went into some detail about his wishes for my judgment day. Yep, I remember that one. For the record, I do not publish these personal attack comments. My writers rarely know when the personal attacks occur as I send them to spam and trash.
Do you try out material before you post? I know Enzo (my dog!) is a great audience for me… but… what's your process? I think sometimes the faster I do things and not look back is better. Other times I redo a line until I want to scream. You?
Some writers try out new material extensively. I tend to read them to my dogs once and then go with my gut. I have been doing humor for almost 30 years, so I know that if I sit too long on an idea, either it dries up or I lose my interest in it. If something strikes me, I tend to post and let the chips fall where they may. Sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a dud. It's all part of the game.
Thank you, Donna for giving us a glimpse into what will be an informative, fun, and funny workshop.

Since grade school, Alice Wootson always liked writing poetry and reading romance novels – because of the happy endings. So, it was no surprise that the first book she wrote was a romance novel. But what was unexpected was that an agent rejected her work for being "too poetic to sell commercially."
Before Wootson could get discouraged by this speedbump on her writing journey, an editor called her two days later asking if the manuscript for Snowbound with Love was still available. And that was the start of the Northwest Philadelphia resident's writing career.
Wootson, who started writing after she retired from teaching, credits the instructions and feedback she received from workshop leaders, Gloria (Glo) and William (Bill) Delamar, at the Philadelphia Writers' Conference (PWC) with helping her develop her storytelling ability and establishing a literary career. The PWC is now the longest running writers' conference in America and will be celebrating its 68th annual assembly this weekend, June 10-12, at the Wyndham Hotel at 400 Arch Street.
For 10 years, Wootson looked forward to participating in this annual storytelling and publishing learning opportunity. By 2000, her enthusiasm and creativity gained her attention and an invitation to join the PWC board of directors.
The PWC offers workshops on short stories, poetry, plays, memoirs, novels, humor blogging, scriptwriting, query letters, opinion editorials or Op-Eds, social media, grammar, pitching to agents and editors, travel writing, spiritual writing and creating a digital brand, as well as writing competitions.
"The workshops are very helpful, relaxing, and exhilarating," said Wootson, who conducts workshops at several writing conferences, is a member of the Mad Poets Society, belongs to the Romance Writers of America and the Valley Forge Romance Writers. "It's great to hang out with other writers because you're free to talk all day about writing. They get it."
But the weekend isn't all classes. Friday morning the conference opens with a message from Kelly Simmons, author of the popular novel Standing Still, addressing the question, "Are You a Writer?" After Friday night's buffet dinner, agents and editors will head a panel sharing helpful publishing tips for would-be authors. The keynote speaker at Saturday's banquet will be New York Times bestselling nonfiction writer and poet, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, who wrote Dr. Mutter's Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine, which was named one of the "Best Books of 2014" on seven national book lists, including Amazon.

You're teaching a workshop about the best ways to pitch your book. Were you motivated to do this because you're a small indie publisher and it will make your life easier, too?
Well, never let it be said I'm not a fan of making my own life easier… But the truth is, helping people write and deliver an effective pitch is something I just feel passionate about. Don't forget, I was once a new writer with a book I desperately wanted to see in print and no idea what would get me successfully to the next stage. Somebody was kind enough to give me the right pointers to get me started on my pitch. (Well, okay, I paid for a class, but still.) I suppose it also has something to do with the fact that my first career – I went on to become an executive in the biopharma industry – was as an instructor at Rutgers. The joy of seeing people learn and master a new skill, being part of their "Aha!" moment, is a real motivator for me. Once I've figured something out, I can't wait to share that with others.
After giving your original question due consideration, though, a great pitch is as much a piece of art as the work it represents. So teaching people the secret to creating their strongest pitch might not make my life easier, but it will certainly add to the enjoyment of hearing pitches.
Would you talk a little about how you became a small press publisher?
I'm not sure this answer will win me any points for strategic thinking, but I decided to become a small press publisher the same way I've made all my other mega-life decisions – I saw an interesting opportunity to try something that was new for me and promised to be a big challenge. The fact that it also offered a possible means for me to move some frustrating obstacles out of my way was an added bonus. At the time I decided to take the plunge, self-publishing was still considered a form of "outsider art", and the traditional channels for selling books were not very interested in anything that didn't come from well-established publishers. But I was lucky to find a few extraordinary mentors, and I was determined never to give up, and never allow myself to feel anything but proud of doing good work.
As the marketplace for books from non-traditional sources has grown (and rapidly) over the past few years, it has actually become more of a challenge to run a small press. That's because there are so many more options for distributing books, and the opportunities are growing every day. A publisher has to work hard to stay on top of things in order to do the best job for her authors and her publishing house. It's not enough anymore to just have a current list of who buys books at some indie bookstores – though the people who run indie bookstores remain some of my favorite people on the planet. How can you not admire people who are willing to devote their lives to the love of books? But that won't make your publishing house a success the way it once might have.
What sort of work does Rule Bender Press look for? Are you open to genre fiction or are you inclined to more reality-based, (and I hate to use the term but) "literary" fiction?
It's so funny that you have some hesitation around the term "literary" fiction. Personally, I balk at classifying fiction at all. I know that's not a very sound business strategy these days, and I will grant you that it is important to know the proposed target market. But think about this for a minute – who paid for all those Harry Potter books that made J. K. Rowling the wealthiest woman in England? And did you read The Hunger Games? I did. So while it's important to know what type of book the author is aiming to write, I firmly believe that a good book is a good book. To answer your question, Rule Bender Press was established with the goal of…bending the rules. I'm looking for work that grabs my attention and pins my restless butt in a chair and won't let me go, even when I put the book down. I'm looking for writers who love, but respect, language. Who comb through their work over and over again, removing anything that isn't critical to the beating heart of their story, who can draw me a picture of a reality that invites my imagination to fill in the gaps.
Boy, that was a wordy answer. The bottom line is, I'm not particular about genre or not genre, YA vs. women's fiction, or any of the other boundaries that are typically drawn. I want to see a great story (or memoir).
Will you be moving the operation back to Doylestown, PA now that you've left Marblehead, MA?
Rule Bender Press has physically relocated to Doylestown along with me. But I'm working to keep my contacts in Massachusetts active. There is a very vibrant and supportive indie bookstore scene up there, as well as a strong writers' community based in and around Boston.
Beyond getting their pitch right, what advice would you give writers of fiction?
Ah, one of my favorite soapboxes – the most important piece of advice I can give, which I'm sure many of the people reading this have heard ad nauseum, is be open to changing your work. I have had to turn away two books I was interested in publishing because their authors did not want to make changes. In the first instance, the author had already done what he felt were a sufficient number of rewrites, and was eager to get his book in print. With the other book, the author had a very specific format she wanted to follow, and did not feel that my requested changes were consistent with her vision for her book.
Were either of those authors wrong to feel the way they did? Absolutely not. And I would be delighted for them if their books get published by someone else. But the critical thing to understand about getting published is that writers are both artists AND artisans. They have to create something beautiful, but it also has to be something that will sell. And every publisher you approach is going to have her own specific idea of what will sell. She's going to believe in that idea so strongly that she's willing to put a lot of time and a fair bit of money into producing the books that fit her vision. It says a great deal about the quality of your work if someone is interested in investing that time and money in it. But what it doesn't say is, okay, you're all done now. Instead, it says, I'd like to form a partnership with you to produce something wonderful. So don't feel frustrated when an editor or agent or publisher asks you to revise your work. Feel proud that they think highly enough of you to ask.

Although the history of emotions was already suggested as an interesting topic by Lucien Febvre and Johan Huizinga it has been taken up seriously as a subject of historical study only fairly recently. Initially, historians limited themselves largely to the study of documents that prescribed emotional ideals and standards. Researchers are now going beyond such texts. They are currently identifying transformations in emotional 'communities' and 'styles' on the basis of letters, autobiographies and memoirs, as well as a variety of narrative, archival and visual sources. Historians are also emphasising performativity, what emotions actually do. At the institutional level, in Europe two important research centres have been started: in London the Queen Mary Centre for the History of the Emotions (Thomas Dixon, director); in Berlin the 'Forschungsbereich Geschichte der Gefühle' (Ute Frevert, director). This conference seeks to establish a more solid footing for the history of emotions in the Netherlands and join in with these international trends.
The speakers at the conference will discuss the emotional styles of the Modern Devouts and the cult of pugnacity in Late Medieval feuds. Focusing on the seventeenth century, they will reconsider the performativity accorded to the emotions in painting, the theater, and pietist religious movements. For the eighteenth century, speakers will analyse the Dutch 'cult of sensibility', the contemporary appreciation and navigation of the sentiments. The day will be closed with a lecture by Dorothee Sturkenboom. She is a pioneer in the study of emotions in the Netherlands and will relate the emotional history of the Dutch to contemporary and more recent views on their 'national character'.
The conference's keynote lecturer, the well-known English historian Thomas Dixon, will discuss the latest developments in the field.
The organisers: Wessel Krul, Herman Roodenburg, and Catrien Santing.
The conference will take place in the National Library of the Netherlands (KB) in The Hague.
The conference fee is € 30,- (€ 25,- for members of the KNHG and € 15,- for students and PhD students) and includes lunch. The conference fee should be transferred to account number 6934391 of Nederlands Historisch Genootschap in The Hague.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
The country's largest cigarette maker, Lorillard (UNKNOWN: LO.DL ) , announced that the board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program to buy back up to $500 million worth of stock over the course of 2013.
Lorillard's executive VP and CFO, David H. Taylor, said the announcement "reinforces the company's intent to efficiently manage our financial resources and our continued priority of returning cash to Lorillard shareholders."
There is no set amount of stock the cigarette maker is required to buy back, and the repurchases may be effected through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or block purchase techniques and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time.
Although it's expected it will be completed by the end of the year, the repurchase program has no set expiration date.

Personal Law Services
Children Disputes Solicitors
Disputes between parents and relations over children can be painful. They should be resolved as soon as possible for the benefit of all involved, especially the youngsters concerned.
We are family law specialists accredited by Resolution and can advise on all child related disputes. We can also advise on the appropriateness of referring the dispute to a mediator and deal with negotiation of child arrangements on your behalf. If required, we represent parents and grandparents within Court proceedings.
The best interests of the child or children should be at the forefront of any decision-making process; however, specific child-related issues, such as, where they shall live, or how much time or otherwise have contact with any person can be resolved by the Family Court by applying for a Child Arrangements Order. We aim to provide a service and solutions that are compassionate, appropriate and above all child-focused..
Court proceedings can usually involve applications for Parental Responsibility Orders, Child Arrangements Order. However, we also advise and represent parents on applications to the Court for Prohibited Steps Orders (e.g. to prevent one parent taking the child abroad) and Specific Issue Orders (e.g. the change of a child's surname, approve medical treatment, education, religious upbringing, etc).
On the 22nd April 2014, it became compulsory to attend a Family Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAMS) before making a family application to the Court.
The Children and Families Act 2014 did not introduce and automatic entitlement to 'shared parenting'. There is no parental 'right' to any particular amount of time with a child. The Act instead refers to the importance of children having an ongoing relationship with both their parents after family separation, where that is safe, and is in their best interests.......a meaningful relationship is not about equal division of time, but the quality of parenting received.
There is a presumption that a child will benefit by retaining contact both parents and that contact should take place unless it can be shown to be detrimental to their welfare. A parent opposing contact must show good reason as to why an Order should not be made.
Parental Responsibility
The mother of a child at its birth automatically acquires parental responsibility (PR).
A father can acquire PR in the following ways:-
- Marriage to the mother (at any time).
- Both parents entering into a Parental Responsibility Agreement.
- Court order.
- For a child born after 1 December 2003, the father will automatically acquire parental responsibility if with the mothers consent he is named as father on the birth certificate.
A step parent, may, following recent changes in the law, also acquire PR with the agreement of those with it already or otherwise by court order. However, it is always worth bearing in mind any person with PR may delegate it to another at any time. This can be done by a simple letter to evidence this and is often used for grandparents acting as child minders.
Key Parental Responsibilities
A person with PR has all the rights, responsibility and obligations for the upbringing of the child. If there is more than one person with PR, there is a duty upon them to consult on any issue concerning a child's upbringing which in the event of dispute may require an application be made to the Court for a Specific Issue Order.
Key roles include:-
- Providing a suitable home
- Having contact with/living with the child
- Protecting and maintaining the child
- Disciplining and providing for the child's education
- Determining the religious upbringing (if any)
- Agreeing to medical treatment
- Naming the child/agreeing to any change of name
- Accompanying the child outside the United Kingdom/agreeing to the child's emigration should the issue arise
- Being responsible for the child's property
- Appointing a guardian if necessary (for example in a will)
- Allowing confidential information to be disclosed
Child Abduction Cases
The removal of a child out of the United Kingdom with the intent this be permanent is a criminal offence under the Child Abduction Act 1984 if done without the consent of any other person with parental responsibility or otherwise than with the permission of the Court. A person with a Residence Order may not remove a child from the United Kingdom for more than a month without the permission of the Court or otherwise with the written consent of all other persons with parental responsibility.
Child Taken Abroad
If you believe your child may be immediately removed from the UK (i.e. within 48 hours) you should contact the police and request they institute an "All Ports Alert". A photograph of the child assists.
In all child related matters, the welfare of the child is paramount. There are numerous specific factors taken into account in the Court's overall discretion as well as all the circumstances of the case.

Council asks Metro Transit to examine greening its fleet
Metro Transit has been a national leader for decades in reducing the overall impact transportation has on our climate by implementing cutting edge technology and reducing single occupant car trips. On April 25th the Metropolitan King County Council helped Metro take efforts to further reduce climate change when it approved a measure asking Metro to study the feasibility of achieving a zero emissions or carbon-neutral bus and van pool fleet. I partnered with community organizations including Climate Solutions and the Sierra Club to bring this measure to the Council.
From early adoption of hybrid buses, to our largest in the nation public vanpool fleet, Metro is a model transit agency when it comes to protecting our environment. Nearly 70% of Metro's fleet is currently either all electric or diesel-hybrid, and Metro has stated a goal to have an all-electric or hybrid fleet by 2018. However, even the cleanest hybrid diesel buses still emit about 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide per mile into the atmosphere. Balancing an ever expanding network of routes to meet population growth and new demand while greening our fleet is a tall order, but one I believe we can and must accomplish.
Studies indicate transportation is the region's largest source of greenhouse gases, accounting for nearly half of all carbon emissions. Air particle pollution is a significant problem in the greater Seattle region, exacerbating health conditions such as asthma and disproportionately affecting communities of color and low-income communities. The motion calls on Metro to prepare an analysis and recommend whether a carbon-neutral or zero emission fleet should be the preferred goal.
The motion also requests that the feasibility report include an evaluation of the battery bus pilot program, and an analysis of any gaps in available technologies or products that would need to be addressed in order to meet the recommended goal. Metro Transit will deliver the report to the Council by March 2017.
Board of Health works to protect domestic abuse survivors from gun violence
The best available research shows that the most important element in preventing domestic violence fatalities is to remove firearms from the situation. To that end, as Chair of the Seattle – King County Board of Health, I co-sponsored the adopted resolution to improve King County's compliance with a state law that requires domestic violence offenders to surrender their firearms when they have protection orders issued against them. The Board of Health pursued a coordinated approach to implementing the law in King County in response to inconsistencies within the County.
HB 1840, signed by Governor Inslee in 2014, requires domestic violence perpetrators who are subject to no-contact orders, protection orders, and restraining orders to temporarily surrender their firearms or other dangerous weapons. The legislature passed a great law to protect those affected by domestic violence, but more work needs to be done by King County to implement the law. A review found that, in a 3-month timeframe in 2015, of the 94 cases where an affidavit of surrender (or non-surrender) was due to the court, only 12 respondents complied with filing the required declaration.
The County Council collaborated with the Seattle City Council, the King County Prosecuting Attorney, the Chief of the Seattle Police Department, and the Director of Seattle-King County Public Health to automate the surrender process. This action strengthens the County's commitment to ensuring public safety and, simply put, will save lives.
Council supports action plan for safety on Metro Transit buses
On March 21st, the Metropolitan King County Council voted unanimously to develop an action plan to increase security for both passengers and operators of Metro Transit buses. I called for this legislation in response to recent assaults that took place on Metro buses. A review of safety and security measures on buses will provide Metro an opportunity to use all the tools available to make it the safest transit agency in the nation.
The motion calls on the Executive to develop and transmit to Council an action plan that supports strategies outlined in the Metro system security plan and identifies and prioritizes specific activities to enhance the safety and security of Metro Transit's customers and employees. The plan will include a review of current staffing levels for Metro Transit Police and contract personnel used to provide security in the transit tunnels and at metro stations; an investigation of fare enforcement policies and the relationship to operator and passenger security; and an analysis of how transit safety programs can be implemented so as to avoid disparate impacts on disadvantaged communities. It will be submitted to the Council by July 15th.
Three Year Report to Constituents
On February 11, 2016 I completed my third year serving on the King County Council. Though elected from the 1st District, I am cognizant that my votes and work impact everyone in King County. I wanted to update you on the issues that my colleagues and I have been addressing at King County during the last three years. Please read my report that summarizes our work, here.
My highest priority as a councilmember is working to ensure that everyone in our community has a fair and equal opportunity to achieve their full potential, and live a healthy, safe, and productive life. Today, nearly ten percent of King County residents live below the federal poverty level. Life expectancy can differ by ten years, depending on your ZIP code. These challenges know no municipal or demographic boundary – solving them requires partnerships across the region.
I firmly believe that by deploying the tools we have in hand at King County – from our health department, to our justice system, to our Department of Community and Human Services, to our Department of Natural Resources and Parks and Metro Transit – we have the capacity to address pressing regional issues like poverty, transportation, environmental protection, and disparities in health outcomes.
I take the job of representing you seriously and have not missed a single vote. I have voted over 2,300 consecutive times since taking office in 2013. This report highlights some of those votes.
I welcome your comments and ideas for additional areas where we can work together to ensure King County is the best place in America – for everyone – to live, work and play.
Thank you for taking the time to review this report. For regular updates, please consider subscribing to my e-news by emailing me at email@example.com or by calling my office at (206) 477-1001.
Very Truly Yours,
Rod Dembowski
Council approves nation-leading paid parental leave program
Beginning in 2016, King County employees who welcome a new child will have 12 weeks of paid leave to stay home with their families. The Metropolitan King County Council gave its approval to legislation that will create a program providing certain County employees with paid parental leave to run concurrently with unpaid federal and state family and medical leave.
The adopted legislation grew out of a motion adopted by the Council this past spring declaring that it is county policy to establish a paid family leave program for King County employees. The motion also requested the Executive develop a work plan and recommendations for implementing a paid parental leave program along with a cost analysis of the potential financial impact of the program. The Executive sent a cost-benefit analysis and a recommendation to the Council in September and followed up with a work plan and proposed legislation in November.

New Funds to Address Untested Rape Kits in King County
Every year across the country, thousands of "rape kits" – DNA evidence collected by a health care professional after a sexual assault – go untested. While the reasons for this backlog vary, it's clear that cases in which a rape kit is tested are more likely to result in arrests and prosecutions.
In jurisdictions like New York City, Dallas, and even Tacoma, the analysis of previously untested sexual assault kits has led to the identification of new offenders, linking of serial cases, and exoneration of the wrongly convicted. Most importantly, these cities have demonstrated a commitment to survivors to do everything possible to help them find justice and healing.
Thanks to the tireless work this year of State Representative Tina Orwall, moving forward Washington State now must test all new rape kits that are collected. However, there is still work to do to address existing untested kits in local jurisdictions, including in King County, where approximately 400 rape kits sit in evidence storage.
I've partnered with Representative Orwall and Sheriff Urquhart to take immediate action regarding these kits here at King County. In this week's Budget and Fiscal Management Committee meeting, I was able to secure $200,000 for sexual assault experts in the Sheriff's office to identify exactly how many untested kits remain in King County, prioritize those cases for testing, and submit them to the State Patrol Crime Lab for processing.
This is the right thing to do, and as we've seen across the country, this work will likely result in arrests and convictions of serial rapists and other criminals. It also sends a clear message to victims of sexual assault – you matter, what happened to you matters, and we take your case seriously.
County Council Expands Access to Voting
Fifty years after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Federal Voting Rights Act into law, the Metropolitan King County Council gave its unanimous approval to broadening the historic law's standards in King County by requiring voting materials be translated into additional languages, starting with Spanish and Korean.
King County is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, with a rapidly growing population of individuals who speak a language other than English. According to the county demographer, one quarter of King County residents speak a language other than English at home, and close to half of them report that no one in their households speak English well or at all.

Rumor: Apple in talks with Discovery, Viacom for streaming TV service content
Date: Wednesday, March 18th, 2015, 09:57
Category: Apple TV, Rumor
Apple is apparently hunting down content for its purported streaming television service.
The Wall Street Journal now claims Discovery and Viacom are also in talks with Apple to offer programming through the service. Yesterday, the publication cited sources as saying Apple is discussing options with Disney, CBS and 21st Century Fox.
Netting one or both broadcasters would be a major step for Apple, as Discovery owns the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and TLC, while Viacom controls MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. Viacom was one of the providers rumored to be engaged in direct negotiations with Apple over a similar solution in 2013.

Agents Unite, Turn the Tide
Members attending the UFAA Annual Meeting and Convention in Las Vegas in June received a detailed update from UFAA General Counsel, Dirk Beamer, concerning the pending litigation in Los Angeles County between UFAA, Farmers, and the Management Company (FGI). UFAA is represented by a seasoned veteran, Los Angeles attorney Paul Mahoney, who has previous wins against Farmers to his credit. Here are some of the highlights of the update Beamer presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting:
Recall that UFAA initiated the lawsuit in late 2012. UFAA seeks a ruling from the Court that would stop the Defendants from:
• imposing production minimums and performance standards;
• disciplining agents based on the location, nature, hours, and the types of offices they maintain ("Smart Office");
• using information acquired from agents to solicit current and prospective policyholders on behalf of 21st Century;
• relying on the unconscionable three month termination provision of the AAA to terminate agents without cause.
Beamer reminded the audience that the lawsuit will not cure all ills, but it focuses on some of the key grievances facing the Agency Force. Indeed, as a number of participants suggested, the suit has already borne fruit by curbing Farmers' practices and the threat of 21st Century in particular.
Beamer walked the members through some of the key battles fought and won thus far. Two early victories stand out. First, as expected, Farmers and FGI challenged UFAA's "standing" – its legal authority to speak on behalf of its agent members. Despite the overwhelming evidence (their applications, their dues, and their vocal support) of agents' dependence on, and confidence in, UFAA, Farmers insisted on advancing the tired argument that UFAA does not represent the views of its own members. Fortunately, and properly, the Court rejected this arrogant attempt to silence thousands of Farmers agents and their association. Farmers' motion to dismiss for lack of standing was denied. Victory UFAA.
Pulling out another familiar pony trick, FGI asked the Court to let it out of the lawsuit, arguing that it is merely a hired hand doing the bidding of the Exchanges and therefore not responsible for any of the Agency Force's grievances. Zurich's money-making puppet has made the same argument successfully in many cases previously. But armed with strong arguments from Mahoney and strong evidence from respected expert Charles Miller, the Court declined FGI's request. The Management Company's motion to dismiss the claims against it was denied. Victory UFAA.
During the course of the dispute, the parties repeatedly locked heads over UFAA's attempt to gain information and Farmers' attempts to hide it. Eventually, UFAA filed a motion to compel production of documents and information, which the Court granted. Victory UFAA. Plainly frustrated by their repeated setbacks, and specifically their failure to get the case dismissed for lack of standing, the defendants filed an emergency appeal, asking the California Court of Appeals to intervene and to set aside the trial court's rulings. The result? Motion denied. Victory UFAA.
For much of the past year, the parties have been engaged in a series of depositions during which UFAA's officers and its members have answered a mind-numbing series of questions from the defendants' attorneys. Notably, multiple agent witnesses have testified to the fact that – since the lawsuit was filed – their managers have backed off their previously non-stop threats and attacks. Several agents credit the lawsuit with saving their agencies.
Of particular note was the deposition of UFAA President Tom Schrader. Hoping to get Mr. Schrader to acknowledge Farmers' claim of unlimited authority, the Farmers lawyers presented a litany of questions involving outlandish hypotheticals. (For example, "Is it your view that if a Farmers agent shoots and kills a policyholder, that Farmers cannot terminate the AAA?"). Eventually, UFAA's attorney, Paul Mahoney, called an end to the farcical line of questions and instructed Schrader not to answer. As expected, the defendants eventually filed a motion asking that the Court send Mr. Schrader back in front of the firing squad. Ultimately, the Court threw Farmers a bone and agreed to give them two more hours of limited questions. But it also affirmed many of Mr. Mahoney's objections, noting "Some of the questions sought to be compelled are so far afield that the [Court] concludes answers should not be compelled." Describing the ruling to the assembly, Beamer grudgingly called it a "draw," noting that a draw against Farmers and its high-priced lawyers is a win for most.
Having failed to wear UFAA down through the lengthy and expensive discovery process, the defendants decided to take one more shot at getting a key portion of the lawsuit dismissed. They filed a motion challenging Count IV of the Complaint in which UFAA seeks to strike down the AAA's three month, no-cause termination provision as "unconscionable." Farmers argued that, unless UFAA can show specifically that each and every member agent received the exact same promise (consistent with ample evidence supporting it) that they would not be terminated unless they violated a deadly sin, then the entire Count must be dismissed. Farmers threw tremendous effort and argument behind this motion. ("It makes one wonder," Beamer observed, "why they are so afraid to have a court decide whether this provision is fair?") At the Convention, Beamer was able to share a tentative ruling in UFAA's favor. Since the Convention, a formal, written ruling has been published by the Court. Motion denied. Victory UFAA.
What do these pre-trial victories for UFAA mean? On the one hand, some would say, they mean nothing if UFAA does not prevail at trial. On the other, they mean everything. They mean that agents – when acting in concert – can mount a serious, credible, unified defense in support of their common interests. Indeed, while a victory remains UFAA's priority, equally important – win, lose, or draw – is UFAA's ability to demonstrate to Farmers that agents will not be silenced, will not meekly run and hide, will not be penny-wise and pound-foolish when it comes to investing in their businesses and their families' livelihoods and futures.
Trial is scheduled to commence in September. Please do your part. If you have given, give more. If you haven't, ask yourself what you are waiting for? There's no pay-out if you place your bet on the winning horse after the race. Invest in your business. Invest in your future. Invest in UFAA.

A guide to understanding elemental melee

Infernalguy's guide to elemental
There will be 3 parts in my guide:
1. Elemental melee against monsters with no DP and no resistance
2. Elemental melee against monsters with DP, but no resistance
3. Elemental melee against monsters with DP and resistance
1. Elemental melee against monsters with no DP and no resistance
Let's start at coral beach. Here we have a perfect monster for our tests - torobbie.
As you can see in the picture, torobbie has no defence points and 100% damage tolerance, which means he will receive FULL damage without any reductions. The reason I underlined dark and fire is because I will use that kind of attribute for my tests.
At this picture you see me hitting a torrobie. As you can see, my AP is equal to damage dealt, that means our prediction about no damage reduce is right
Now we can see the most basic formula for our hit damage: hit damage = user AP. You should've already know that.
Next picture shows my critical damage
If you already know Trickster Online basics, you should be aware of critical hit formula: critical hit damage = user AP*1.5
Let's put the numbers in and check: 138*1.5=207; that's the exact amount we should get
From now on, things will get a little harder - I will be using my fire attribute melon stick. Picture please
You see the damage number? It is far more bigger than my AP, how come?
That is because of fire attribute I have. At first sight, there might be NO connection between my AP and damage dealt, but there is actual formula: hit damage with attribute = user AP+user AP*attribute.
It might sound stupid now, but let's put in the numbers (100% attribute is equal to 1): 138+138*1.1=289.8
That is the numbers we see in my screen shot.
Ok, let's move onto critical hits with attribute on. It isn't very hard
We just need to combine our critical hit formula with our hit damage with attribute formula: critical hit damage with attribute = (user AP+user AP*elemental attribute)*1.5;
To make it clear, let's put the numbers in formula: (138+138*1.1)*1.5=434.7; That is exact number as in the picture
Just to make it even more clearer, I will show how 2 different kinds of elemental attributes works.
At this ^ picture you can see that I have fire and dark attribute, my damage increases even more, although the formula stays the same: hit damage= user AP*elemental attribute; I shall put in the numbers: 138+138*1.1+138*1.35=476.1; roughly the same amount we see in the screen shot
The same applies to critical hits
Formula stays EXACTLY the same as before, so I will just move on to the numbers part: (138+138*1.1+138*1.35)*1.5=714.15;
This is the end of part 1. As you can see, elemental attribute seems to be WAY more effective than only AP and is a great way to increase your damage dealt, even with low amounts of base AP (like I have).
Basic formulas for elemental melee: AP+AP*elemental %;
Critical hit formula: (AP+AP*elemental %)*1.5;
if you feel like you can skip the base AP part, you can just add +1 to your elemental attribute (for now; as we will see later, this can't be done with monsters that has elemental resist): AP*elemental%+1

Ed Vaizey, the Culture Minister, today moved to secure a place for libraries at the heart of the Big Society.
An expert support programme will be led by the Museums Libraries and Archive Council and the Local Government Association Group. They will work together to support councils as they adapt to the current economic challenge, helping them deliver key services while reducing costs.
Initially, the programme will work intensively with around 10 library authorities. When this first phase of work is complete, the lessons learned will be shared with the wider public library network. The programme is based on the principle that local services know their communities best and that the solutions should be owned and driven by councils.

iPad Air 2 has A8X chip, possible 2GB RAM
The iPad Air 2 is likely going to make an appearance later this week at Apple's event. In addition to some Mac news, it's believed we'll get an iPad update, likely across the lineup. New components for the iPad Air 2 have reportedly leaked, and show a new processor as well as that rumored RAM uptick. If you held out on the iPad Air last year because it just wasn't powerful enough, the iPad Air 2 one might be one worth grabbing.
