A lot of firms dip their toes in cross-border work; magic circle firm Freshfields is positively drenched in an "international feel and culture."
WHEN Freshfields opened shop in London 273 years ago, Midtown New York was British-owned scrub land. This is the oldest of the five elite UK magic circle firms, but it took until 1977 to set up in Manhattan and then DC in 1998. The firm has 26 offices spread across Europe, Asia and the US. Adam Siegel, US managing partner, tells us: "We're blessed to have an even balance in the world's financial centers, which is where clients see the biggest opportunities and also threats." If this firm qualified for the Am Law 100, its revenue posting would place it comfortably at the top end, next door to the likes of Gibson Dunn, Morgan Lewis and Sullivan & Cromwell.
Chambers Global ranks the firm in 6th position in its 'Global Top 30' firms>>>
An international rock star Freshfields may be –Chambers Global ranks the firm in 6th position in its 'Global Top 30' firms – but all magic circle firms' attempts at cracking the US market have been more Britpop than Adele's transatlantic splash. However, associates reminded us that "the firm is trying to tone down the magic circle thing here." And in a bid to raise its US profile, the Freshfields New York office has made several smart lateral partner hires over the past two years – and from top names like Fried Frank, Skadden, Shearman & Sterling, Wachtell and Cleary.
But we shouldn't overlook what the firm has already achieved. Between the New York and DC offices, Chambers USA ranks the firm for capital markets, tax, and antitrust. The lawyers we interviewed also did high-level work in trade finance, litigation and arbitration, corporate and projects. As is typical for Freshfields, clients are frequently huge banks like Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan, and giant global companies like ConocoPhillips, Petrobas, Johnson & Johnson, GDF Suez, and Dubai Aerospace.
The Work
At the time of our calls juniors were stationed in tax, capital markets, finance, corporate and dispute resolution, with the latter being the most popular destination. Most join the NYC office, but a few join DC. Dispute resolution splits into three subgroups of international arbitration, investigations and white collar, but "most associates start with general work and then specialize later on." One associate told us: "I don't think there is a specific day or year that demands you graduate to just one group. You do a little bit of everything when you start out."
Juniors in disputes had handled cases with financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, universities, airlines and publishers: "I'm currently working on a big investigation of a bank, a bankruptcy notification in NYC and an ICC arbitration," told one source. Juniors did "a lot of legal research and analysis" with the expectation that "partners will ask you questions about something to do with the case." Typical junior work also included "drafting submissions, organizing document production, preparing hearings, writing and preparing witness statements and cross examinations for witnesses."
"Opportunity to develop client skills."
Our sources in Freshfields' world-class arbitration practice (worldwide ranking first tier, Chambers Global) had been busy "developing arguments and strategies with partners" on giant cases like a $1.4 billion expropriation claim by ConocoPhillips against Ecuador, and an ensuing $2.6 billion counterclaim. "You get a lot of client exposure in arbitration," a junior told us. "There's a lot of responsibility and opportunity to develop client skills."
The corporate practice splits into capital markets, finance, IP and corporate, "which is basically M&A work." Although this is a compact team it has benefited from the few big-name hires recently. Chambers Global also ranks Freshfields M&A department among the top four firms in the world, so deals are weighty and cosmopolitan, such as arranging a $5 billion acquisition for Japan Tobacco. "It's hard to specialize in anything in the early days," associates said. "You have to be ready to do a lot of different things."
Typical rookie work in any corporate subgroup comprises "reviewing contracts, identifying material issues, drafting agreements, preparing reports and," when you're a little more senior, "being in charge of supervising whole projects." The small size of team equals greater responsibility, but several grumbled that because of this, the more humdrum diligence tasks "didn't go away" in the third year.
"Everything that we touch is cross-border"
Several juniors get to go on client secondments, which sources agreed, "was very, very, very useful once I was back at Freshfields." Secondments out to the wider Freshfields network aren't uncommon – we heard of associate postings to Dubai, Frankfurt, London and Hong Kong. "Everything that we touch is cross-border. All my cases have been cross-staffed – they bring in the London and Germany teams in more often than not," said a litigator. "I was also in contact with my colleagues in Hong Kong on a daily basis; probably to their chagrin as it was me asking them to do things!"
Get Hired
We came across myths like "I'm not sure you can get hired without a second language," and observations like "most people have two or more languages" and "there are people here who have taught law at Chinese universities." US MP Adam Siegel is quick to offer a more reasoned view: candidates must "have the passion to work in a cross border context. That doesn't mean they have to speak six languages or have studied abroad." And one associate reassured us: "If you're a stellar candidate with impressive academic credentials, you'll get hired even if you only speak English!"
"People make the decision to come to Freshfields; they don't just end up here."
Associates repeatedly told us how "intellectual and academic" their colleagues are. And again this year, a certain elitism came across when discussing the firm's candidate search. Freshfields can afford to be picky, but to be a megabrain is not enough: associates agreed candidates should score highly in "emotional intelligence." Pragmatism is also a must, insists Siegel: "We're not a hierarchical office and we don't have the room for people who don't want to roll up their sleeves, or people who are, quite frankly, difficult." Associates also stressed how the firm isn't just another BigLaw option: "People make the decision to come to Freshfields; they don't just end up here."
The office's cosmopolitan feel is no secret, and associates felt it sets Freshfields apart: "The other international firms in New York are still very New York-centric," claimed one. "There's a constant stream of British trainees and rotating German secondees, and there are Australian attorneys here permanently," juniors explained. "It all adds to this international feel and culture that I really enjoy."
"Everybody gets on the dance floor – even the partners!"
"People are generally very nice to each other," our sources chimed. "Working relationships between the partners and the associates are great," and "there are always people chit-chatting by the coffee machines." This strays from the intimidating magic circle stereotype –"there is definitely a more independent vibe in the New York office." Reports of Freshfields do sound more sociable than a lot of BigLaw, too: there are "frequent Friday drinks" and firm-funded outings like "an associate-only event where they took us to a Brooklyn brewery." The summer party is a perennial hit: "Everybody gets on the dance floor – even the partners!" And on the summer program associates were treated to "sunset sailing, bowling nights, karaoke, Shakespeare in the park" and a 'design your own Converse' event.
Training & Development
With this size of office, practical on-the-job training works well. However, Freshfields uses a firmwide 'career milestones' training and assessment program, which wasn't so popular with interviewees. Opinions on this ranged from "pretty confusing and hard to understand" to "arbitrary and ridiculous." In theory the system – which forces associates to "reflect on what you've concentrated on" and to "help you know where to aim" – should be supportive, but in practice "it's hard to evaluate yourself against eight different categories with ten sub-categories which all appear to overlap," one associate grumbled. "I get why it exists in London. I know that it affects their compensation so they hate it! But it doesn't affect our compensation so it seems a little silly to have it at all."
Pro Bono
"In order to compete here you have to take pro bono seriously," one associate said. "They have a running top list of associates who've done the most pro bono and some get rewards," at special pro bono recognition events. However, "there are people who do astonishingly little pro bono – read that as none – which I find surprising. It's not because the firm isn't committed to pro bono, it's just that clearly client work comes first." That said, we found the firm to be accommodating: "I'm on three pro bono cases right now and I think the firm has been very supportive of this decision." Our associate interviewees found their work "pretty invaluable." They had run employment discrimination, sexual assault, and asylum cases, and they relished the opportunity to "do your research, dig into the facts of the case and get your hands dirty."
Pro bono hours
Hours & Compensation
The lockstep salary and bonus system was hailed as "fair and transparent." However, there's no billing target at Freshfields, which was a relief to some, but others found it "actually quite stressful" because expectations and transparency vary, partner-to-partner. "Some partners have taken me aside and told me what they expect – many expect about 2,000 – but it's difficult to understand whether meeting that target is a must," said one interviewee. "And some associates are told the numbers they're billing aren't enough, which I know is frustrating." Despite uncertainty on this front, associates reported hours in line with the Big Apple norm: "Usually I get home around 8 or 9pm," was typical, together with "a few hours most weekends, and the occasional all-nighter" at deadlines. Freshfields "respects your personal life," associates stressed. If you're lucky enough to get married, "they absolutely forbid you from doing any work on the days leading up to the wedding and then they let you take a long honeymoon!"
In June, Freshfields was the first Magic Circle firm to match Cravath's associate pay increases (to $180,000 for first-years and $190,000 for second-years).
"It's beautiful sitting here right now overlooking Central Park."
The "light and airy" 56th floor of the New York office made a very comfortable home to our interviewees. "It's beautiful sitting here right now overlooking Central Park," rhapsodized one source, and another told of "incredible 360 views of Central Park, the Chrysler Building, Long Island and Brooklyn." The drawback of these exquisite views is "it's very expensive, so we're stuck for floorspace." All our sources shared an office, but none viewed this as a problem, because "I like having an office mate," they concurred. It "adds to the social vibe" and gives you someone to "bounce ideas off." Within this limited floorplan the firm does set aside space for 'wellness rooms', which are "generally used for mothers who are breastfeeding."
"That's an area I think every law firm wishes it could do better in," US MP Adam Siegel muses. But "to make sure nobody slips through the cracks," the firm has in place a mentorship program. Siegel gives an example: "Research shows that male associates are more likely to find informal mentors and forge close working relationships; we want our female associates to be given the same opportunities to succeed." As a result the firm has "a formal female mentorship program in place." And according to associates, Freshfields is "really trying to keep women associates here. On the junior level I can see that culture working – our latest batch of associates are overwhelmingly female."

Interview with US managing partner Adam Siegel
Chambers Associate: What are the firm's highlights for 2015?
Adam Siegel: Last year was a big year of investment for us; we brought in a number of new partners, especially on the transactional side in M&A, capital markets and finance. The story is that those investments are providing opportunities to undertake the cross border work that we've always wanted to do.
We've had a number of wonderful M&A deals this year one example being the major acquisition for Honeywell which was principally led out of the US. We've also worked for clients like Dubai Airspace and assisted on a nice acquisition for Japan Tobacco. Essentially, we were trying to build up a practice with the ability to do more US-led M&A transactions, because most transactions don't happen in the US as we work primarily with offices in Europe and Asia. However, this year, we're seeing the fruits of our labor. On the antitrust front we're world-leaders and we've worked with clients in the US such as United Airlines. We're looking through the airline industry through a number of antitrust prisms and helping with issues that affect the industry as a whole.
We also continue to be asked to help leading institutions with their problems and threats in cartle, financial regulatory space, corruption and a tremendous amount of work in tax. We're trying to bring in high level practitioners in practices clients care about.
CA: Given the firm's prestigious background, would you say that London is at the center of firm culture?
AS: That's a common misconception but one that I can't fault law students for having. In reality Freshfields is an extraordinarily international firm and less than a quarter of our lawyers are based in London. We've got lawyers throughout Europe and Asia and 200 lawyers in the US. I work as frequently with Hong Kong and Shanghai offices as much, or if not more, than the London office. Although London remains our oldest – we're never going to be able to trace our history back to 1743– and our most symbolic office, it now makes up less than a quarter four firmwide headcount.
CA: What's the firm strategy for 2016 and beyond?
AS: I think the reality is that we're never going to be all things to all people but that's not what we want to be. In the US, we'll never have the hundreds of thousands lawyers that you need to be able to cover everything. We want to fully understand what Freshfields is good at in the UK, Europe and Asia and see how the US practices can truly fit into those cross border matters and to be respected. Interesting areas we're looking at are cross border M&A, high-ticket civil litigation, antitrust, and complicated tax issues because those are what clients think of when they think of Freshfields. The strategy for the US is to make sure that the lawyers we have here can work to this high level of cross border work. What I want to make sure of is that when clients have complicated M&A, civil litigation and tax issues is that they know the US Freshfields team is just as good as the team they've been using in the UK and Asia. We've got to be as good and better than any other firm – we've got to focus on being at the top of our game.
CA: Are there any practices you'd like to see grow in the next few years?
AS: All of them. The legal system in the US will remain an important part of the legal landscape even if China continues to grow. If we were going to be proportionate to legal spend in the US we'd have to have thousands of lawyers but that's not realistic to what we are as a firm. That said, we're too small in antitrust, transactional practices, litigation and tax. In my opinion we aren't big enough; we're proud of breaking the 200 lawyer-count in the US but that's not big enough to compete in the EU, UK and Asian markets.
CA: How important is cross-border work to the US offices?
AS: It's essential although I want to be very clear about one thing: this is a practice made up of US lawyers. Our first move when we came to the US was to send non-US lawyers over to New York to build up a presence, but in the last 20 years that vision has changed. The secret of succeeding in New York and DC is having people who are recognized members of their community whether that's through senior lateral partners or midlevel associates. These are lawyers who want to practice cross border work and are able to think about how different cultures, languages and legal traditions can change decisions. I think we're blessed to have an even balance in the world's financial centers which is where clients see the biggest opportunities and also threats.
CA: What measures is the firm taking to ensure it's as diverse and inclusive as possible?
AS: That's an area I think every law firm wishes it could do better in; we do a lot of things to improve our diversity but it's a long journey and we're not there yet. I'm acutely aware of diversity issues and the whole firm tires to be open-minded during the OCIs as it's an opportunity for candidates to present his or herself. Law firm life is challenging to anyone whether you're from a family of lawyers of from a family where you're the first person to go to college. We understand that it's a difficult transition to go from law school to life in a firm. The reality is that most young lawyers will need a mentor and we want to make sure nobody slips through the cracks. Research shows that male associates are more likely to find informal mentors and forge close working relationships – we want our female associates to be given the same opportunities to succeed in the working environment so we've got a formal female mentorship program in place.
CA: Moving on to hiring, what's your ideal candidate? Is having a second language advantageous given the firm's global culture?
AS: There are a couple of things that appeal to me when I'm speaking to junior lawyers. One important thing is that they have the passion to work in a cross border context. That doesn't mean they have to speak six languages or have studied abroad, although we do see a disproportionate of candidates who've worked or been educated abroad and who have multiple languages. People who are interested in the commercial practice of law are also needed. It can be difficult to understand that the law is a tool to help clients accomplish objectives and avoid various pitfalls. They need to want to help large institutions and to understand their business needs and the challenges they may face. Team work is another thing that's important because we're still a relatively small operation.
The US practice is still growing and every lawyer we bring in changes us in some way and that's important when trying to build up the Freshfields presence. The people who want to be part of building something bigger rather than going into something that's already fully formed are going to be the people who are happy here. We're not a hierarchical office and we don't have the room for people who don't want to roll up their sleeves, or people who are, quite frankly, difficult. Collegiality is a phrase that's overused, but I can't tell you how important it is to bring in lawyers who are easy to work with but also fun. It's all about the three Cs here: cross border, commercial and collegial; lawyers who start here need to how those three things.
CA: Does the firm focus on any particular law schools?
AS: Harvard, Yale, NYU, Georgetown, Penn, Columbia, Chicago and Michigan are the US schools we typically recruit from. This year we've gone to fairs at Boston University, DC and Saint Louis University along with affinity group job fairs like the Lavender Law Fair for LGBT students.
CA: How important is prior experience on a resume?
AS: It's extremely helpful but it's not a deal breaker or a litmus test. However, most jobs will give students skills that they can talk about in interviews. At the minimum level it's about team work but most jobs will provide some insight into the commercial reality of businesses and jobs. I think it helps candidates explain why they're interested in the firm because it gives them the experiences to draw from and to explain why they want to work for us.
CA: Finally, do you have any advice for our readers?
AS: There are a couple of things I wish that I'd understood at law school. I wish I'd thought more about the world outside the US as a law student. The current crop of US students are more likely to have worked abroad but not all of them have and it's it's important to understand that it's a big world out there. Although the US will remain big in the legal and global economy, the marketplace is huge and many places do things differently to us. Another thing I'd say is that it's easy to get stuck in the law school mindset of only thinking about theoretical situations. One of the luxuries of law school is being able to think about the theoretical and academic outcomes but it's important to remember that the law exists outside of your education and exists to govern relations not just deep thought.
The magic circle explained
You can be forgiven as a law student for not being an expert on this magical collection of London-headquartered firms. Even current Freshfields juniors didn't really know what the magic circle was when they were aspiring attorneys in law school, with one saying: "I had a vague impression of Freshfields being part of this obscure 'magic circle,' but I didn't have a full understanding of what it was exactly. Those firms seemed to exist more in their own category."
The very term 'magic circle' can easily evoke connotations of witchcraft or occult practices, but rest assured it's not quite as dark and sinister as all that. Instead, the term simply applies to the quintet of leading UK-headquartered firms: Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Linklaters, Slaughter and May, and, of course, Freshfields. The term is also applicable to a selection of London's leading commercial sets of barristers' chambers.
Most of the magic circle firms were founded in the 19th century, but Freshfields is the oldest bird among them, established as it was all the way back in 1743. It took a while for these firms to make that brave leap across the pond though, with the majority opening up shop in New York during the seventies and eighties. Linklaters was the first to do so, establishing a base in 1972, but Freshfields was hot on its heels and decided to settle in the Big Apple a few years later, in 1977.
The next stepping stone for these firms was Washington, DC, but none of them dived into the capital too soon, waiting until the late nineties – and in the case of Linklaters, not until 2012 – before attempting to build up a second US office. Slaughter and May is the only magic circle firm to opt out of the process, preferring instead to maintain connections with the US via alliances with New York top-dogs Cravath and Wachtell.

Five Years
Dear Eva,
At the beginning of the summer, when you graduated from pre-school, Mommy and I told you that you would be starting TK in the fall. But now it's fall, and even though you're just today turning five, you've already been in real kindergarten for three weeks, and you've been doing great with it. Every morning you have been getting up just like your brother, and you've had such a great attitude about going to school, even though it's early. And even though you are the youngest one in your class, you're still one of the smartest and hardest-working. You've gotten points from your teacher every day for things like staying on task, participating, and using whole body listening, and I'm so proud that you are being a good citizen in your class.
Right now as I'm writing this, you're in your bed all tired out from spending a whole weekend at Disneyland. I'm so glad to get to spend time with you, whether it's when we're away or at home, and I can't wait to see what the future brings us.
Happy birthday, Eva. I love you so much!

Dear Mary,
Three days ago we celebrated your brother's birthday, and today it is your birthday. Birthdays being what they are, this is how it's always going to be, and sometimes your mom and I worry about letting your day turn into an afterthought. I don't think you're going to let that happen, though.
Because you are a force.
You may be the youngest member of our family and—for now—the smallest in stature, but in will and determination and sheer size of personality you are a giant. You are mighty. You know what you want, and you go for it, every time. I think of all the times I've lifted you over my head and listened to you cackle, your gleeful shouts of "Again! One more time!" I think of the way you will just climb into my lap and push your smiling face right into my line of sight; you are playful, but you demand to be seen.
And even though sometimes that means your mom and I—and your sister and brother—have to reckon with your displeasure, I hope that you hold onto that spirit, that ability to stand up for yourself, never taking a drop of disrespect from anyone. Because if you can do that, nothing is going to stand in your way. You're smart, you're strong, you're funny, and you're fierce. You will go far.
Today is your day, my girl. I love you. Happy birthday!

Dear Jason,
For the past few nights you've been having trouble sleeping because you're so excited about your birthday. This is really one of my favorite things about you, that you get excited about things. Just in the past few days you have been excited about your birthday, about Pokemon, about getting a new pair of flip-flops just like the ones I have, about eating hamburgers, and a bunch of other things that I can't remember. I know that you've heard me say this before, but I hope that as you keep growing and getting older, you will hang on to that excitement.
What can I say to you that I haven't said already so many times? I tell you all the time that I love you, because I do. I tell you that I am proud of you, because I am. I tell you that I am lucky to be your dad, because it's true. I tell you these things almost every day, it seems like, and when I was your age I probably would have rolled my eyes and said "You already told me that." But you take it a lot more gracefully than I would have.
You really are a great kid, my boy, and I hope that you have a great day today. Happy birthday, buddy. I love you.

Dear Eva,
For the past two weeks you've been counting down the days to your birthday, and now we're finally here. As I write this, you are about ten feet away from me, staring up at the lighted fireworks design on the wall above your hotel bed. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we are going to Disneyland, and you are very excited.
Every new year brings lots of new experiences, and this one is no different. You became a big sister this year, and you are great at it. You and Jason have been taking care of your baby sister since the very beginning; you have loved singing to her and showing books to her. On the drive tonight I discovered that you and she have a new favorite game, where she shrieks to make you laugh.
You're getting to be such a big girl now, doing so many things on your own. Your mom and I talk a lot about how smart you are. You started a new preschool this year and I know you are going to learn a lot. So far mornings haven't always been easy for you—you're a late sleeper by nature, like me—but you've surprised me by getting out of bed without too much fuss when I come to wake you.
I love you so much, my girl, and I'm looking forward to spending the day with you. Happy birthday, Eva.

The Tiger and the Bear
"Little Bear," I said,
"that is a tiger, not a hat."
It perches
precariously for a moment, then
slides down to the floor.
Little Bear, enraged,
shakes her fists, throws the tiger
across the room where
it lies in a heap, patient
for her return,
for this is the way
of little girls.
Little Bear, undaunted,
crawls and nods
and puts the hat back on her head.
One Year
Dear Mary,
So here we are, the last night of your first year. As I'm writing this, you are about eight feet away from me on your mom's lap. You've just finished a last little snack before bedtime, which is part of your normal routine. Unlike most nights, though, we're in a hotel room more than a thousand miles from home—your first trip to another country. It's funny for me to consider that with you, I'm going to be seeing a lot of firsts for the last time. But I'm glad that you're the one I'll see them with.
Before you were born, your mom and I thought we knew what we were doing as parents, and we thought we knew what to expect from you. But from your very first day, you have demanded to be reckoned with on your own terms. You are strong-willed and determined. You are a girl on the go. Today, for the first time, you decided to stand without holding onto anything for balance. I'm sure it's only a matter of weeks or even days before you take your first steps. None of your family is surprised about this; you have always had places to go, things you wanted to be doing, and you are not one to let anything stand in your way. It's a big world out there and often a tough one; I think your grit and drive will serve you well as you continue to grow and find your way.
You're sometimes a handful, and sometimes a sweetheart. You're goofy, like your brother and sister—you love to make people laugh. You're little for your age when it comes to height and weight, but like you might hear in stories about another adventurous soul, you're bigger on the inside.
Tomorrow is your birthday, and you are going to be surrounded by family celebrating your first year. For you, I think tomorrow is going to be no big deal, maybe just something you'll see pictures of when you get older. For me and your mom, though, it's a pretty big deal: you're one year old, and you're the one who's made our family complete.
I hope you have a great day, baby girl. I love you.

Seven Years
Dear Jason,
Every year I write you a letter and make a video for you. In a lot of ways, what goes into these letters isn't much different from what I do every day: I think about you, what you're like, how you've grown, and how much I love you. Lately, too, I've been thinking a lot about what kind of man you will be when you're grown up, and what the world will be like when you get there. A lot happens out in the world, some of it good and some of it bad, and sometimes I worry about the problems you will face some day. But more and more I am comforted by the ways that you show me how good a person you are. You make me very proud to be your dad.
In just the past week, two different families have commented to me and your mom about how polite and mature you are. And it's true: sometimes life gets frustrating, but you are really good at talking things out, and you care a lot about doing the right thing. This year you became a big brother for the second time, and you are so good at taking care of your new baby sister. You play with her and you talk to her. You're just a great brother, to both of your sisters.
Another big step for you was earning your junior black belt, after two whole years persevering and learning in your karate class. I've gotten to come visit your class more often this year, and I love to see how good you are at focusing and improving your skills.
But most of all, I love that you're fun and funny. After we went and saw Inside Out, I've liked to say that you live on Goofball Island. In fact, just as I was writing this letter to you, you came and joked around with me about boogers, and also tried to tickle me. (Your mom doesn't like the booger jokes as much, but that's OK. This can be our thing.) I like that you're playful and enthusiastic, and I hope that never changes.
Tomorrow is your birthday, and I'm taking the whole day off work so I can spend it with you. It's going to be a great day, I know it. Happy birthday, pal.
Soundtrack: "Baby Is Unseen" by Beachcomber. Used with permission.
At Two Months
The thing that strikes me the most about this picture is not how much different she looked then, nor how much the same she looks now. It's not the way she still sometimes sleeps with her arms raised and hands in little fists. It's not even the swiftness with which the past eight, nearly nine months have passed. All of those things do cross my mind when I look at this picture, but mostly what amazes me is seeing her at 6:10 in the morning, sleeping soundly enough for me to take her picture—or even enter the room—without waking her.
Child, I love you very much. I love your energy, your inquisitiveness, and your impish little smile. I love that you are motivated, that you go after what you want, and I hope that you stay that way when you are older.
But please, at 2:30 in the morning, this is the only thing I ever want to see you doing.
Lately when she calls out in the night, it's for Mommy. When she needs help in the bathroom, her voice rings out down the hall, "Mommy!" When she wakes up in the morning, her first request is Mommy. Sometimes she gets me instead, but she just sets her jaw and frowns. "No," she says, "I want Mommy."
I'm not sure exactly what it was she was writing here—the title of her next show, most likely—but I think I see "Daddy" in there. It's nice to know that she thinks of me sometimes.

The System is G-Code based and compatible with Cabinet Vision and other standard cabinet design programs and all popular CAD/CAM programs.Here's how it works:The YS-1325 CNC Systems furniture produce line automatically loads a 4x8 sheet from a pallet by way of a scissor lift located at the rear of the CNC machine. A movable gantry system equipped with suction cups using retractable guide rails and stops on the table safely and accurately guides the material sheet onto the CNC platform. Once the sheet is placed, the operator turns on the vacuum hold down and starts the cut cycle for the CNC to execute. After the sheet is fully processed, it is then pushed off to a conveyor table at the front end while another sheet is simultaneously loaded from the rear of the machine again. During this whole process the residual dust or chips that are not picked up from the dust collector are swept off the table and conveyor into various chutes keeping the work cell clear of dust and debris. Upon completion, the individual parts are labeled by the operator through an integrated barcode system. This facilitates clear identification of the finished parts for quick and easy assembly later on.SpecificationsProcess Area4 ft x 8 ft5 ft x 10 ftZ-Axis Travel7.5 inches7.5 inchesLoading and Unloading Speed800 in/min800 in/minDriveX/Y helical rack and pinion drive, Z ball screw driveX/Y helical rack and pinion drive, Z ball screw driveTable structureVacuumVacuumSpindle power12 HP12 HPSpindle speed24000r/min24000r/minTraverse speed17001700Cutting speed12001200Tool magazineCarouselCarouselTool Position88Construction Features9.0KW Italy HSD high frequency automatic tool changer spindle YS Material handling Production work cell comes standard with a 12HP HSD high frequency automatic tool changer spindle.

This state-of-the-art leading edge technology assures the support foundation is structurally stable that will last the test of time. Each frame is stress relieved assuring long term stability in the frame structure mechanics.GantryThe gantry is constructed of tubular steel with reinforcing ribs welded throughout the length of the column which results in a steady firm beam assembly. This quality engineering and workmanship result in smooth precision cutting.Gantry Support (Uprights)The Gantry uprights are cast iron with heavy duty gussets formed into the casting. Each support is machined for housing the various drive assemblies including motors, bearings, and wiring harnesses.8 Tool Rotary CarouselProduction work cell includes an 8-position rotary carousel that moves with the machine while the gantry travels. The use of a carousel speeds up tool changes assuring faster cycle times increasing production capabilityFam Drill Bank5 + 4 VerticalAny Other configurations are available upon request.Linear Racks The YS Series Production work cell uses precision Helical gear racks on the X- and Y-axes. The use of Helical precision rack n pinion assures smooth precision cutting at high feed rates. In addition, the method in which the racks are mounted help reduce maintenance.Drive MotorsThe New Venture Series Production work cell utilizes high-powered AC Servo motors powered by Delta Drives.

For over 50 years, Cambridge Christian School (CCS), has educated and equipped students in Tampa, Florida. Their faith-based mission is clear:
To glorify God in all that we do; to demonstrate excellence at every level of academic, athletic and artistic involvement; to develop strength of character; and to serve the local and global community.
Tim Euler, the Head of School of CCS, said, "In the football program, we are working to raise godly young men that can make a difference in the world. Prayer is a big part of that. It's central to who we are as a school and a team."
One way the school administrators teach students to "glorify God" is through prayer—including at their sporting events. Since the inception of the football program, the school has had a tradition of praying over the loudspeaker before football games. Before kick-off, players, coaches, and fans will pause as a student, parent, or faculty member offers a short prayer.
In the fall of 2015, the CCS Lancers won their way to the state football championship for the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) 2A division. The game was scheduled for Friday, December 4, 2015 at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida, where the Lancers would face off against University Christian School.
Since both of the Christian schools had a tradition of pre-game prayer, CCS asked for permission to offer a prayer over the loudspeaker before kick-off at the championship game. The FHSAA denied the request, forbidding the schools from praying over the loudspeaker. The association argued that somehow this private prayer could be viewed as an endorsement of religion since the Christian schools would be praying on government property.
The football players, coaches and fans were devastated by the FHSAA's decision.
Jacob Enns said, "We were really excited to play in the championship game. It's been our tradition to pray ever since I've been on the team. But then they said we couldn't pray and our tradition was ruined. It was so disappointing."
On January 26, 2016, First Liberty attorneys sent a demand letter to FHSAA behalf of Cambridge Christian School, arguing that the FHSAA violated CCS's rights as a religious institution.
"By banning their customary pre-game prayer over the loudspeaker, the FHSAA prohibited the students' and teachers' free exercise of religion," said Hiram Sasser, Deputy Chief Counsel for First Liberty. "That is a violation of the First Amendment."
First Liberty's letter explains that, if uncontested, FHSAA's demands would severely limit the religious liberty of the thousands of students, teachers, and administrators of Florida's religious schools.
On September 26, 2016, First Liberty attorneys, along with concerned parents and teachers, appeared at an FHSAA board meeting and asked the FHSAA to adopt a content neutral policy to respect religious freedom. The FHSAA declined to take action, so on September 27, First Liberty Institute along with volunteer law firm Greenberg Traurig filed a lawsuit against the FHSAA. Read the lawsuit.
"By banning the pre-game prayer over the loudspeaker, the FHSAA sent a message to these students that prayer is wrong and something you should be ashamed of. That is dangerous and unconstitutional," said Sasser.
On February 3, 2017, a Tampa district magistrate issued a "report and recommendation," stating the two Christian schools cannot pray over the loudspeaker at the Citrus Bowl. Read the report and recommendation
"First they told us public schools cannot pray over the loudspeaker. Now they say two private Christian schools cannot pray over the loudspeaker. When will this assault on free speech stop?" Sasser asked. "We will appeal this ruling and continue to fight against this incredible assault on the First Amendment."

| Rokiah Mahmud |
A NATIONWIDE mosque, surau and prayer hall cleaning campaign was held yesterday at 117 locations with the main focus centred on five mosques.
In the Brunei-Muara District, the campaign took place at the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Silver Jubliee Mosque in Kampong Jangsak. The guests of honour were the Minister of Religious Affairs, Pengiran Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohammad bin Pengiran Haji Abdul Rahman and his wife, Datin Hajah Alimah binti Mohd Taib.
The event began with a mass Subuh prayer followed by a religious talk on the significance of the Islamic new year.
Acting Director of Mosque Affairs, Awang Haji Abdul Rajid bin Haji Mohd Salleh, in his speech explained the objective of the campaign, saying, "The cleaning campaign aims to instill and cultivate a caring attitude towards the beauty and cleanliness of mosques and their surroundings as well as inculcating a spirit of cooperation among the Mosque Committee, officials and the community."
Maintaining the cleanliness at places of worship is a responsibility of all Muslims, he added.
The acting director also shared that the department is working in collaboration with the Building and Maintenance Section, and that it has contracted a number of companies for their cleaning services.
His speech was followed by a religious talk presented by Dr Haji Noralizam bin Haji Aliakbar, a religious officer at the Syariah Faculty of KUPU SB.
The minister then launched the campaign by unfurling a banner and hanging up cleanliness signboards at the mosque's compound and planting a tree to commemorate the occasion.
This year, the committee wanted to highlight the importance of mosque cleanliness following various complaints from congregants and the community regarding their cleanliness.
"Thus, it is part of the Ministry of Religious Affairs' responsibility to create awareness in upholding the cleanliness of mosques, suraus and prayer halls in the country. What is most important about maintaining cleanliness of places of worship is that it is closely-related to the vision of being a Zikir nation."
Meanwhile, the Mohamed Bolkiah Mosque in Kampong Serusop was visited by the Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs, Pengiran Dato Paduka Haji Bahrom bin Pengiran Haji Bahar, as the guest of honour, while the Belait District saw the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), Dato Seri Setia Awg Haji Abd Aziz bin Orang Kaya Maharaja Lela Haji Mohd Yusof, visit the Zainab Mosque.
In the Tutong District, the campaign focused on the Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque which was visited by Permanent Secretary at MoRA, Haji Mohd 'Abdoh bin Dato Seri Setia Haji Abd Salam as the guest of honour, while Deputy Permanent Secretary at MoRA, Haji Harun bin Haji Junid, visited the Utama Mohd Salleh Mosque in Pekan Bangar as the guest of honour.

- Are you born with thin lips or are you experiencing age-related lip shrinkage and is this affecting the beauty of your face?
- Do you know that even newborn children prefer people with larger, more voluptuous lips?
- Do you know larger, more beautiful lips can make you appear more generous or kinder?
- Is your face not visually appealing due to your thin lips?
- Do you want your lips to be aesthetically pleasing?
- Have you been thinking about lip enhancement?
Then you have been thinking right! Lip augmentation will restore the beauty of your face by lip enlargement and lip contouring, in an aesthetic manner.
Lip augmentation is aimed at improving the appearance of lips, through the use of cosmetic surgery or non-surgical techniques. Lip enlargement is recommended for people having thin lips by birth, who want to enhance the beauty of their face by lip enhancement. Only one lip can be treated or both lips may be enlarged in the same treatment, depending on the requirement.Lip enlargement is done by delivering injection into the lips or by lip implant. Lip augmentation can make the lips look fuller, adding to the beauty of the face, since lips are a prominent part of the face. A variety of natural and synthetic materials are available for reshaping lips by augmentation.
Methods of Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation can be achieved through dermal filler injections like Restylane or Juvedermor lip implants. Temporary lip enhancement by injection used to be done using collagen- a material found in animal connective tissues. Collagen is however known to trigger allergic reactions in some candidates, hence sensitivity test had to be performed before treatment. An ultra-fine needle used to be used to deliver collagen into the lip and the procedure of injection was repeated (1-3 months), since collagen is absorbed by the body. Fat harvested from another part of the candidate's body also used to be popular as an alternative to collagen – This was non-allergic since the material is derived from the same person's body, but fat has a mind of its own and is not recommended anymore, since it can disappear unpredictably, become lumpy, etc. After all, who would want lumpy lips? Another non-allergic injection is autologen (injectable material- like collagen- taken from the same person's skin). Other injections are also available such as artecoll (made of tiny synthetic beads), dermalogen (dermal material) and HylaForm (based on hyaluronic acid).
The commonest and safest method of lip enhancement nowadays is using the hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections like Juvederm and Restylane (lip filler injections). These dermal fillers are made artificially using genetic engineering, so there is no scope of allergic reactions. Also, since these are made of hyaluronic acid (hyaluronic acid is the basic sub-unit of collagen, which naturally forms our lips), they feel and look completely natural in your lips. Juvederm and Restylane both behave predictably and can be used to plump and contour the lips easily. These lip fillers are minimally invasive, such that post Juvederm or Restylane treatment, you cannot even tell the next day that a procedure has been performed. Most importantly, both Juvederm&Restylane (and other hyaluronic acid filler injections like Esthelis and Perlane) are completely reversible – If you do not like your lips post the procedure, a small injection of another material called hyluronidasecan completely dissolve the lip fillers in your lips, within minutes. The only problem with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers injections like Juvederm & Restylane(lip fillers) is that they need repeat injections as they get absorbed by the body –Restylanegets absorbed in about 6 – 9 months and juvederms lasts for approximately 12 – 18 months in your lips.
Lip Augmentation JobLip Augmentation Job (Lip Implant, Enlargement) in Mumbai, India – Dr. Debraj Shome
In lip implant procedure, synthetic or organic material is implanted into the lips under the application of topical anesthesia. The most common material is alloderm- consisting of dermis (natural). By making incisions in the inside corners of the mouth, the material is inserted under local anesthesia and it eventually integrates into the natural body tissue. A synthetic implant (GORE-TEX® implant) is a high quality ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) – a non-reactive material used in raincoats and tents. This material may be permanently integrated, yet does not always feel totally natural. After implantation, the incision sites are sutured using absorbing or non-absorbing material. Lip implants, however, need repeat surgery to remove them, if you do not like the effect, unlike fillers like Juvederm & Restylane which can just be dissolved.
Recovery, after injection, may takea maximum of 1 – 2 days. Usually hours are enough for recovery. For lip implants, the recovery time is 1-2 weeks; drooling and temporary stiffness of the lips may be experienced during the recovery period.
FAQs (Frequently Ask Question)
What are the risks associated with lip augmentation?
Yes, some risks are linked with lip enhancement. An allergic reaction may occur in response to lip implant. Bleeding or hardening of the implant may occur that may necessitate the removal of the lip implant. Other complications include infection and nerve damage.
How can a faster recovery be achieved after lip implant?
For faster recovery:ice packs can be kept aligned with the lips for some hours after implants and lip fillers, limited talking and chewing for some hours is recommended, avoiding weight training and running exercise the evening post lip fillers and using antibiotics to prevent lip infections (more in case of lip implant surgery).
Are there any alternatives to lip filler injections or lip implants?
Some non-surgical alternatives to lip injections and implants include the use of lip plumper and suction pumps. Lip plumpers works by irritating the skin of lips to make it swell temporarily, thereby enhancing the appearance of the lips. Suction pumps use vacuum to increase blood pressure in lips to increase their size. Both of these are temporary and cause effects lasting from a few minutes to hours at best.
What health conditions are not suitable for lip augmentation?
Lip fillers are safe in most patients. We recommend stopping multi-vitamin tablets (especially Vitamin E) in patients, to minimize the chances of bruising post procedure.

The Court of Appeal (CoA) has thrown out a claim challenging the legality of British involvement in US drone strikes because any judgment would be a condemnation of US foreign policy.
Master of the Rolls Lord Dyson, Lord Justices Laws and Elias said that they could not determine whether UK officials' role in aiding drone strikes amounted to "encouraging or assisting murder" because that judgment would impugn sovereign US acts.
The appeal was brought by Noor Khan, a resident of Waziristan, whose father was one of 40 killed in a drone strike in 2011. His first claim was dismissed in December 2012 (21 December 2012) but Khan was granted an appeal.
Brick Court Chambers' silk Martin Chamberlain QC, representing Khan at the CoA, argued that the UK's reported practice of providing locational intelligence for strikes was unlawful because it was contrary to the Serious Crime Act 2007. Khan instructed Leigh Day partner Richard Stein and lawyer Rosa Cerling.
He faced off against a team of silks including Blackstone Chambers' James Eadie QC, 1 Hare Court's Andrew Edis QC and Essex Court Chambers' Malcolm Shaw QC. They were instructed by Treasury Solicitor Piers Doggart.
Chamberlain argued that UK intelligence officers should be found liable for "soliciting, encouraging, persuading or proposing a murder…or for aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring murder". As there is currently no official "armed conflict" in Pakistan according to interniational law, he contended that UK officers should not be able to rely on the defence of combatant immunity.
He added that even if the principle act was committed by a CIA officer who was not a UK national, the UK would be liable under schedule 4 of the Serious Crime Act.
The ruling said Chamberlain's arguments were persuasive and that it was "certainly not clear that a defence of combatant immunity would apply".
But in a judgment with implications for ruling on UK activity in global conflicts, the judges refused to adjudicate the case due to the risk of criticising the US. The court found the case was not justiciable because to rule on the actions of GCHQ officials would constitute a threat to the independence of sovereign states.
Dyson MR said: "Mr James Eadie QC in a careful and cogent series of submissions argues that, even if Mr Chamberlain's construction of the 2007 Act is correct, there are powerful reasons why the court should refuse permission in this case."
Quoting from Underhill v Hernandez, he said: "Every sovereign state is bound to respect the independence of every other sovereign state and the courts of one country will not sit in judgment on the acts of the government of another done within its own territory."
Even though Chamberlain said he was not asking the courts to adjudicate over whether or not a CIA official executing a drone strike was guilty of murder, the court decided that proving secondary guilt by GCHQ officials depended on proving primary guilt by the US.
Chamberlain was commended by Dyson MR for arguing a "persuasive" case "with considerable skill", but, he said, "none of this can disguise the fact that in reality the court will be asked to condemn the acts of the persons who operate the drone bombs".
He added: "In my view, a finding by our court that the notional UK operator of a drone bomb which caused a death was guilty of murder would inevitably be understood (and rightly understood) by the US as a condemnation of the US.
In reality, it would be understood as a finding that (i) the US official who operated the drone was guilty of murder and (ii) the US policy of using drone bombs in Pakistan and other countries was unlawful."

When one straight guy from Las Vegas chucked social conventions out of the window and decided to ask his gay best friend to prom, he probably didn't expect the reaction he got.
Jacob Lescenski made a huge banner to ask the guy he considers to be his brother, Anthony Martinez, to prom and not only went viral on social media but probably won the hearts of millions of girls and guys after his amazing gesture.
Martinez is a prolific social media user and took to his Twitter page, his Facebook page and his Instagram account to upload his reaction to being asked to prom and safe to say, it did not disappoint.
Guess who just got asked to prom by @JacobLescenskii pic.twitter.com/eDrTRkX7fp
— AnthonyseXC (@anthonyseXC) April 21, 2015
The guys then hugged it out and presumably started talking about what colour ties to wear and if they were going to co-ordinate suits, well that or went to grab a drink and some pizza.
Anthony is now preparing to join the student council and help plan the prom, which he called a 'dream' and it all stems from the confidence his friend gave him by asking him to be his date.
