Position running for: Marlborough Sounds Ward
My principal place of residence is in the Marlborough Sounds Ward.
As one of three councillors representing the people of the Marlborough Sounds, I will attend faithfully to the interests of Sounds residents and land owners by consulting widely and applying myself industriously to the issues that concern them most. I have served as chairman of the French Pass Residents for the past eight years, during which time I have successfully engaged with members of the community holding divergent views on a range of issues, seeking always to find common ground with reason and patience.
My life experience includes working with children at risk, establishing a vineyard and winery, building the traditional sailing vessel, Steadfast, with which I operate an educational and tourist charter business out of Picton, and assisting in the management of the French Pass DOC campground.

Commitment and communication are strengths I bring to working for you, our Sounds community.
For the past six years as your Councillor I believe I have justified the trust the Marlborough Sounds community placed in me to represent the Ward, to respond to local concerns and to contribute to the growth of Marlborough.

Position running for: Marlborough Sounds Ward
My principal place of residence is not within the Marlborough Sounds Ward.
I am a fourth generation Marlburian with grandchildren attending school in Marlborough.
In the interest of present and future generations, I have put forward my name to contest the position of Councillor.
I see the lack of transparency and accountability in Council has delivered the Theatre debacle; coupled with inadequate to nil consultation in formulating the MEP has divided Marlborough.
Most Marlburians derive their income directly or indirectly from the environment, with approximately 50% of Marlborough locked up in the DOC estate, can society afford the luxury of retiring productive land and water at the expense of job losses and community wellbeing. I see the MEP will deliver this outcome if confirmed in its present form.
I support Primary Production, Aquaculture, Fishing, Forestry, Agriculture, Tourism and Horticulture. Council's job is to install an economic environment in which these industries can prosper with minimal rules, regulation and cost of compliance.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of NQ Mobile (NQ) are down today following a tepid market reaction to the buyout offer from Bison Capital yesterday, suggesting investors are concerned about the risk of the deal not being completed, Bloomberg reports.
Short-seller Carson Block, who accused the company of overstating its revenue, thinks NQ Mobile is worth less than $1 a share and questions whether the investment firm is aware of the company's true worth, calling the Chinese firm's bid "way too high" on Bloomberg TV.
Yesterday, Bison Capital offered $490 million, or $9.80 per American depositary receipt, which represented a 41% premium on Tuesday's closing price of $6.90.
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Muddy Waters LLC., the research firm founded by Carson Block, said on October 24 that the Chinese mobile security company misrepresented cash balances.
Investors are still waiting to see NQ Mobile's audited 2013 annual report, but the company has twice delayed the filing since the end of April, Bloomberg noted.
Shares are down -7.12% to $6.91 today.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates NQ MOBILE INC -ADR as a Sell with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate NQ MOBILE INC -ADR (NQ) a SELL. This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share."

Had a lovely 2 night stay in this very clean hotel. This is a great location for all the sites and sounds of Lisbon. The room we had was on the 7th floor, not for kids as the window opened very wide and was at waist height!!. The room was spacious and the bathroom was very clean and well stocked with towels and soaps. Breakfast was a pleasant experience with all we needed to fill up. Although the coffee is a bit like coffee and chocolate mixed together, too sweet for me. Tea is a little weak for us British, but was ok. If you like cake and carbs you will be in you element. Although there is also egg & bacon, cheese, cereals, cold meats, fruit & yoghurt if you wish. All in all a fantastic hotel in a great location. Would recommend to all.

Thank God For This Miracle Worker
My teenage daughter had multiple broken bones in her foot,ankle and leg.She had surgery that consisted of plates and pins and before long she was back into surgery again from complications.We were sent to a different surgeon at this point, which thank God so happen to be Dr Pino. He not only corrected the first surgery but he managed her pain and explained everything so matter of factly,yet simply so that my daughter and me and my husband felt very comfortable.My daughter hardly has a noticeable limp and is back in colllege.Dr Pino spent alot of time with us so that it was personable and we trusted him.He was prompt with visits,so we felt that he also valued our time.His staff were very courteous,professional yet personable.As a nurse,I have since taken care of some of his patients that also share the same opinions and feelings towards him.Thankyou Dr Pino for being the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fabulous women that I sew with decided to exchange a "girlfriends" block that was a self-portrait.
Each of us made 8 identical blocks and then we swapped them so we'd each have a complete set of quilt blocks.

Stephan Lewandowsky. The Psychonomic Society launched its latest journal, Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications last week. We will celebrate the new journal, under its acronym CRPI—which is pronounced "Creepee" but in a nice way—for the remainder of this week.
Tomorrow we will hear from the founding editor, Jeremy Wolfe, and his thoughts about how the journal will seek to change the standard way that our discipline thinks about basic and applied research. CRPI publishes new empirical and theoretical work covering all areas of cognition, with a special emphasis on use-inspired basic research: fundamental research that grows from hypotheses about real-world problems—also known as "Pasteur's Quadrant". Articles in CRPI explain in a Significance section how their basic research serves to advance our understanding of the cognitive aspects of a problem with real-world applications.
In order to facilitate the translation of research into application, the journal is the Society's first open access publication. That is, all articles are available to any reader anywhere in the world free of charge. Of course, the cost of publication has to be borne by someone, and so CRPI, like many other open-access journals, will be charging the authors. The charge for authors will be comparable or below that charged by other, large open-access journals. Members of the Psychonomic Society will pay even less, because they will receive a 30% discount on the charge.
But for the next 3 months we don't have to worry about the finances at all: The Society and Springer have agreed to waive the publication fees for all manuscripts submitted to CRPI by December 31st, 2016.
So, submit your manuscript by December 31st, 2016, and if you are successful and the article is accepted, you will get an open access publication in Pasteur's Quadrant for free.
Here is a list of the articles in the first issue of CRPI—the last two articles, with bold-faced authors, will be blogged later this week:
Alisa Brockhoff, Markus Huff, Annika Maurer and Frank Papenmeier
Benjamin Margolin Rottman, Micah T. Prochaska and Roderick Corro Deaño
Kinnari Atit, Steven M. Weisberg, Nora S. Newcombe and Thomas F. Shipley
Caren M. Rotello and Tina Chen
Erin M. Sparck, Elizabeth Ligon Bjork and Robert A. Bjork
Kristin Michod Gagnier and Thomas F. Shipley
Xiao Zhang, Kan Fang and Gregory Francis
Teresa A. Treat, Hannah Hinkel, Jodi R. Smith and Richard J. Viken
Seokmin Kang and Barbara Tversky
The Society is proud of its new project and we look forward to receiving submissions from our members.

The growing complexity of banking litigation, and the increased need for specialist litigators and judges, was recognised in 2015 with the launch of the Financial List. This specialist court, aimed at the most complicated financial disputes, draws experienced judges from both the Chancery and the commercial divisions and guarantees that they will remain on the docket throughout the entire case. Several disputes have already made it onto the List and the development has been well received within London's legal community. It reaffirms London's position as the most reliable venue for resolving disputes of this nature, and confirms the more specialised direction banking disputes are taking. Banking and finance law is no longer open to part-timers, something reflected by the experience of the barristers ranked in this table.
An 'easy-to-deal-with, friendly and commercial' set, 3 Verulam Buildings is considered by some to be 'the go to set for financial services litigation with outstanding senior counsel and a strong crop of juniors'. The departure of Sonia Tolaney QC and two juniors to One Essex Court and Laura John to Fountain Court Chambers was significant, but the set has more than enough highly regarded counsel to keep the market happy. Chambers has several barristers acting on different sides of the RBS rights issue litigation and also has members on both sides of Banco Santander Totta v Portuguese transport companies, the first case on the new Financial List.
Fountain Court Chambers is 'a top-class set in every way' and 'the premier chambers for banking litigation'; 'even if your preferred barrister is unavailable, you are always confident that any alternative will be excellent'. Members are involved in a steady stream of market-leading cases, including the RBS rights issue litigation, Property Alliance Group v RBS, and Deutsche Bank v Unitech. As well as some lateral hires on the commercial side, the investigatory practice was strengthened by the recent arrival of numerous counsel, including Richard Lissack QC from Outer Temple Chambers.
One Essex Court contains 'a wide range of practitioners at all levels specialising in banking litigation, which allows for the structuring of strong and efficient teams with relevant expertise'. The banking and finance practice grew significantly following the arrival of three barristers from 3 Verulam Buildings, including highly rated silk Sonia Tolaney QC. Banco Santander Totta v Portuguese transport companies and Terra Firma v Citibank feature among chambers' recent work highlights.
Blackstone Chambers has 'an excellent reputation' and is praised as 'enormously strong in the FCA field, regarding both contentious and non-contentious matters'. Chambers has had several members involved in some of the banking sector's most high-profile cases, including R (Holmcroft) v KPMG LLP and others, Libyan Investment Authority v Société Générale, and FCA Investigation v the London Whale.
Brick Court Chambers is a 'leading set for commercial and banking disputes'. Members regularly act for both the claimants and the banks, and have taken lead roles in headline disputes such as Terra Firma v Citibank, Bank St Petersburg v Arkhangelsky, and Property Alliance Group v RBS.
Essex Court Chambers has a 'very strong spread of barristers across the board'; 'the intake is always of high quality and the silks are very user-friendly'. Members have been involved in several key cases – notably Barclays Bank v Unicredit and Lehman Waterfall part C – as well as several significant banking arbitrations.
South Square has 'cornered the market with regards to structured finance disputes' and provides much more than its undoubted expertise in insolvency. Major cases involving several silks and juniors include BNY Mellon v Taberna Europe and Landsbanki v UBS.
4 Stone Buildings is 'an excellent set', where 'the barristers seem to share in the ethos that counsel should be approachable both in terms of legal advice and client relations'. Chambers contains some of the most active silks in this area, involved in blockbuster cases such as Libyan Investment Authority v Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank v Unitech.
20 Essex Street is a 'first choice when looking for counsel in London', particularly among foreign clients. Clients also praise the 'responsive and thoughtful' service. Members have taken lead roles on several significant cases including Libyan Investment Authority v Goldman Sachs.
'All the barristers are very strong' at Gough Square Chambers, which is praised as 'very approachable, very receptive and promoting good client relationships'. The set is best known for its 'unrivalled experience and expertise in consumer credit'.
Henderson Chambers is 'one of the top, if not the top set for consumer credit and financial regulation', with 'excellent strength in depth and availability of counsel'. Members are highly recommended for contentious and non-contentious matters.
Maitland Chambers is 'a really excellent set; the quality of the counsel is very high and the service they provide is second to none'. The set provides a strong blend of Chancery and commercial barristers and has been heavily involved in the Lehman Brothers client money litigation.
'The service is first rate' at Radcliffe Chambers, which remains very strong on regulatory and consumer credit matters. The arrival of Jeremy Cousins QC and Chris Boardman from the now-defunct 11 Stone Buildings, has added greater strength in general banking disputes.
Serle Court comes highly recommended for its expertise in commercial and Chancery-related banking disputes. Several members are involved in the RBS rights issue litigation, while other key mandates include Carlyle Capital v Conway and RBS v Dongbu Insurance.
XXIV Old Buildings is a popular choice, particularly for offshore-related banking disputes. Solicitors also appreciate that the set is 'responsive to client needs'. Members appeared on opposing sides in First Newland Bank v The Winterbotham Trust Co.
4 Pump Court has made a strong push into banking and finance work in recent years. As well as acting on commercial banking cases, several members are particularly noted for their FCA-related advice.
7 King's Bench Walk houses a selection of excellent silks with sterling reputations for advocacy work. Highlights included acting for RBS (and four directors) on the defence of shareholder claims arising from the 2008 rights issue.
Outer Temple Chambers is particularly noted for regulatory issues and bank investigations. Richard Lissack QC was among the team that recently departed for Fountain Court Chambers, but chambers' offering of quality silks and juniors remains strong.
Wilberforce Chambers provides a strong combination of expertise in offshore and fraud-related banking disputes. The ranks were also strengthened by the arrival of several barristers from 11 Stone Buildings.

"Outstanding care"
About: Doncaster Royal Infirmary Doncaster Royal Infirmary Doncaster DN2 5LT
Posted by Anonymous
I was admitted to DRI in the middle of the night on a transfer from Bassetlaw Hospital. From the moment I arrived my care was of the highest quality. I was admitted with sever vertigo, a condition which can remedy itself very quickly or take some time to get over. Initially I was placed in a treatment room on S12 where I was assessed by the Dr and then observed over a period of about 3 hours. When a quick recovery seemed unlikely I was admitted to ward S12 and my next of kin informed that I would be staying in hospital, at least, for the remainder of the day. Although it was not visiting time my husband was allowed to visit and the nurse in charge came to talk to us both about my proposed treatment. In all I ended up staying in hospital 4 nights. During that time I had an MRI scan, a visit to Audiology, and Ophthalmics, I received rehabilitation advice from a Physio and saw several Drs both Senior and Junior. There was always a Dr available on the ward and the nurses and auxiliary staff were always available to help and answer my questions. I was very impressed. On discharge I was given a copy of the letter being forwarded to my GP, the nurse talked me through my drugs routine and discussed what I should do if I had any concerns once I was home. A follow up appointment is being issued. Two days after discharge I was telephoned by the Physio to ask how I was and if I had any questions. As regards housekeeping the hospital was clean and the cleaners had a very high profile. The food was good, plentiful and there was a good choice on offer. Regular hot drinks were offered throughout the day. All in all I could not think of a better or more reassuring place to find yourself in the event of illness.

U.K. Stocks Slide as Royal Bank of Scotland Leads Lenders LowerBy
U.K. stocks retreated, halting a two-day winning streak, with banks leading losses.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc posted the biggest decline among lenders, sliding 4.4 percent, while Barclays Plc and Standard Chartered Plc fell at least 2.7 percent. Deutsche Bank AG spurred a slide in European lenders after rebuffing a U.S. Justice Department claim for $14 billion to settle a probe tied to mortgage-backed securities.
BP Plc and Royal Dutch Shell Plc fell as oil dropped to a one-month low. SVG Capital Plc rose 3.2 percent after the private equity investor said an unsolicited bid from HarbourVest Partners LLC undervalued its assets and it has other offers.
The FTSE 100 Index dropped 0.3 percent to 6,710.28 at the close of trading, capping a 1 percent weekly decline. Shares jumped the most in two weeks yesterday, extending gains in the last hour of trading, as the pound weakened on speculation the Bank of England may lower borrowing costs another time this year.
The FTSE 250 Index of mid-cap shares rose 0.3 percent today and the FTSE Small Capitalisation Index Ex Investment Trusts climbed 0.6 percent. The regional Stoxx Europe 600 Index slipped 0.7 percent.

BLOG #11: K-State Returns Home from a Trip of Lifetime
BLOG #11: K-State Returns Home from a Trip of Lifetime
Kansas State will get a jump start on its preparations for the 2016-17 men's basketball season with a 10-day trip to Italy and Switzerland in mid-August during which it will play five games.
The Wildcats will depart on Monday, August 8 and return Friday, August 19 touring the Italian cities of Rome, Siena, Florence, Mestre, Venice, Verona and Lake Como as well as Vatican City before concluding the journey in Montreux, Lausanne and Lake Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to the cultural opportunities the tour will provide, the Wildcats will compete against various club, select and national teams, including LCC International University [August 10], BC Silute [August 11], Italian Select [August 13] the Kosovo National Team [August 16] and BBC Lausanne [August 18].
The NCAA permits teams to make an international trip once every four years and this will be the first by the men's basketball team since Weber's inaugural season of 2012 when it played four games in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Overall, this will be the program's fifth trip outside the country, which includes excursions to Japan in 1981, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden in 1993 and Vancouver, British Columbia in 2004.
One player and a member of the staff each day will blog about their experiences in this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Freshman Brian Patrick
Today we drove to the airport in Switzerland which was like an hour away from our hotel. We flew to Amsterdam which was like an hour and a half. Once we got to Amsterdam we flew to Atlanta, Georgia which was over a nine-hour flight. The flight was pretty tough for me because it was uncomfortable and I felt like I was getting a cold. Our flight from Atlanta to Kansas City was delayed by 15 minutes but it wasn't so bad. We arrived in Kansas City and took a charter bus back to Manhattan. Personally, I loved the trip and the once in a lifetime experience. I was really thankful to be a part of something so special.
Head coach Bruce Weber
As I sit on the plane ready to depart Switzerland, so many thoughts are going through my head about our 12-day journey. There are special moments in our players' careers such as graduation, winning championships, participating in NCAA Tournament, however, being part of a team basketball international excursion has to be part of that list of memorable moments. I have been blessed to part of 10 plus team trip of this type and there is no doubt this has to be one of the most unbelievable trips that I have been part of during my coaching career.
As our staff approached the trip, we felt it was important that our team developed the mental toughness to deal with the adversity and tough times that come up in every season. I always say that these adventures are a microcosms of a season. The ups and downs that come with a season. However, I couldn't have imagined waking on Monday morning, August 8 to find out that our Delta Airlines' entire computer system was down. The next 60 hours of the trip definitely provided more adversity than you can imagine! Our journey to Rome was not a pleasant one. Then to try and play a game after 48 hours of airports, hotels and little or no sleep definitely not an easy task. Not to mention a throwing in a quick tour of the Roman Colosseum and Forum before the game. Needless to say our first game was not a thing of beauty. The players' minds said yes but their bodies said no. To our players' credit they battled and competed and gave themselves a chance to win the game.
Things did settle down after the hectic start of the trip. The next week provided amazing opportunities to see places such as The Vatican City, Florence and the statue of David, Venice and the magnificent Lake Como. Mixed in the sightseeing we also did play some better basketball in the upcoming games. Obviously our staff wanted to not only get a jump start to our upcoming season by implementing part of our system but we also needed to get our players, especially the new ones, extra game experience. As a coaches it's a fine line between trying to win the games and trying to get the experience we need. You never know the competition level of your opponents as you approach the tour.
We were fortunate to play three organized and quality opponents. The Kosovo National provided the most difficult task. A team with veteran professional players who are well schooled at basketball especially FIBA basketball philosophies. Their ball movement and floor spacing were a pleasure to watch as a coach. After a very slow start and missing our first nine shot we compete with our crafty opponent. Although whenever we made a run they made the right play. A disappointing loss but a game and a style of play we need to learn from as we approach the upcoming season.
Each day our travel party would comment that things couldn't get better than the last day. Our last long bus ride (eight hours) from Lake Como through Switzerland was breathtaking. Things that you do not see on an average day like mountains, castles, chalets, waterfalls and lakes. Upon arriving at Montreux, known as the Swiss Riviera, on Lake Geneva we round another most beautiful place. The trip ended on a positive as all the players played quality minutes in an easy win versus BBC Laussane, a new member of the Swiss A-1 League.
I want to personally thing all of our travel party (which included family, friends, fans and administrators) for making the trip an enjoyable one! It was not an easy tour, but everyone made the best of the situation. The unique part of the trip is the interaction of all of the travel party with our players and staff. New friendships and memories were definitely a product of this journey. After a long day of travel, it is back into reality. Classes begin on Monday, weight workouts later in the week and recruiting visits next weekend. And real practice begins in 43 days.
What a trip! Special memories and a great opportunity to jump start our season. Our staff and players are looking forward to an exciting season! Go Cats!

In the case of the biological parent being incarcerated or in the military the person registering the child must provide the school with a Durable Power of Attorney. Both parties must fill this form out and have it notarized.
For assistance with a Guardianship issue you may contact Denise Richardson: 801-737-8522 or email@example.com

In the Old Testament Sheba led a revolt against King David (not to be confused with another Biblical figure called the Queen of Sheba).
Sheba was a son of Bichri, of the family of Becher, the son of Benjamin, and thus of the stem from which Saul was descended (2 Samuel 20:1-22).
When David returned to Jerusalem after the defeat of Absalom, strife arose between the ten tribes and the Tribe of Judah, because the latter took the lead in bringing back the king. Sheba took advantage of this state of things, and raised the standard of revolt, proclaiming, "We have no part in David." With his followers he proceeded northward. David seeing it necessary to check this revolt, ordered Abishai to take the gibborim, "mighty men," and the body-guard and such troops as he could gather, and pursue Sheba. Joab joined the expedition, and having treacherously put Amasa to death, assumed the command of the army.
