Archives In Brief 123 - Justices of the Peace
Historical background
The Royal Letters of Patent under the Second Commission of Governor Phillip dated 2 April 1787 appointed the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and the Judge Advocate of the colony as the first Justices of the Peace. The authority derived from the Letters Patent also gave the Governor the sole power to appoint and dismiss Justices of the Peace within the colony.
The early Justices of the Peace were drawn from the colony's landowners, civil and military officers. The position conferred increased power and status along with with great responsibilities.
The Reverend Samuel Marsden was one of the most famous of these honorary magistrates.
Justices of the Peace were authorised to keep the peace for the territory of New South Wales by being able to arrest, take bail, bind to good behaviour and to suppress and punish riots. [1]
They belonged to the class now generically known as magistrates. Their judicial duties enabled them to sit in court and to adjudicate in petty crimes and minor civil matters, and to commit the more serious cases for trial by higher courts.[2] Early Justices of the Peace administered both the police force and the convict system. Their responsibilities in the latter area included overseeing convict musters, convict assignment and discipline as well as the granting of tickets of leave. [3]
The introduction of paid magistrates, known as police or stipendiary magistrates, from the mid 1820s heralded the steady erosion of both the powers and responsibilities of the Justices of the Peace. The Summary Jurisdiction Act of 1832 reigned in the judicial powers of the magistrates by specifying both the offences over which they had jurisdiction and the punishments accompanying these offences. [4] By 1850 the paid magistracy was a well entrenched feature of the local legal system. [5]
The Justices of the Peace (Jurisdiction) Act 1850 further regulated both the judicial and ministerial duties of Justices. Under The Justices Amendment Act 1853 every Justice of the Peace in New South Wales was declared a Justice for the colony generally and the letters JP after the signature were introduced to denote that the person who bears that signature is a Justice of the Peace. [6]
Prior to 1901 the commission of a Justice of the Peace lasted until the death of the Sovereign. Under the Demise of the Crown Act (No. 57, 1901) the office of Justice of the Peace became a lifetime appointment. [7]
The Justices Act 1902 further limited the judicial powers of Justices of the Peace. Under Section 13 of this act Justices performed no judicial functions in the Metropolitan, Newcastle, Parramatta, Ryde and Wollongong Police Districts and the Municipality of Windsor. In outlying areas the Justices were limited to dealing with minor charges and emergencies. [8]
The passing of the Women's Legal Status Act 1918 (No. 50) paved the way for the appointment of the first female Justices of the Peace in New South Wales in 1921.
Ella Simon, the first Aboriginal Justice of the Peace in New South Wales was appointed in 1962.
Since the foundation of the colony Justices of the Peace were appointed in New South Wales under inherited English law. The power to appoint JPs under local legislation was not given until the passing of the Imperial Acts Application Act 1969.
In 1975 administration of Justices of the Peace was transferred from the Chief Secretary to the Attorney General. Applicants were required to be Australian citizens by birth, descent or naturalization; to be between 18 and 70 years; to be an enrolled elector in New South Wales; to be of good character; and not to be a discharged bankrupt. [9]
All current appointments of Justices of the Peace in New South Wales are made under the Justices of the Peace Act 2002. Lifetime appointments were abolished under this Act and five year terms were introduced. It was also made mandatory to maintain a publicly accessible register of Justices of the Peace. [10]
The functions of a Justice of the Peace are currently limited to administering oath declarations or affidavits, witnessing signatures and attesting and certifying documents.

Whilst this discussion is enlightening, the GP is not going to be cancelled as a protest but only if there is a safety problem for the F1 circus. This is a consistent and arguable position to take and avoids the stupidity of F1 having to make value judgements about politics. However, Bernie's published remarks have been misleading, disingenuous and heartless and this is a separate issue. Perhaps he would prefer the pesky journalists to be targeted and murdered, the way it's done in Syria?

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP maintains Capitol Hill
connections that pay dividends. Long a force in national politics
(and even longer a preeminent presence in the Lone Star State), the
firm has built a powerful lobbying practice that's one of the
largest in the country by revenue. Beyond lobbying, the firm
focuses on a wide range of practices, such as energy (including
renewable), M&A, global project finance, financial
restructuring, investment funds and private equity, IP, labor,
commercial litigation, tax, international trade, and policy and
Beltway Bigwigs
The Akin Gump story begins in 1945, when former FBI agents
Richard Gump and Robert Strauss, who passed away in 2014, started
up a small practice in post-war Dallas. Strauss, whose political
involvement dated back to Lyndon Johnson's first congressional
campaign, went on to become chair of the Democratic National
Committee and chaired Jimmy Carter's successful presidential
campaign in 1976. Carter returned the favor by appointing Strauss
to a cabinet position as Special Trade Representative and hired him
as a personal representative in the Middle East peace negotiations.
Strauss also worked in George H.W. Bush's administration, serving
as Ambassador to the Soviet Union.
Many politically-connected people have worked for the firm over
the years, including former Republican National Committee Chairman
Ken Mehlman and former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary
Tommy Thompson, and many still remain with the firm, including Bill
Clinton adviser Vernon Jordan, former congressmen Tom Loeffler
(R-TX), Bill Paxon (R-NY) and Vic Fazio (D-CA), former White House
official Ed Pagano and various former ambassadors and members of
From Football to Lattes
In modern times, Akin Gump has grown to include 22 offices in
the U.S. and abroad. Although it's well-known for its lobbying
work, the firm has also been recognized for its skill in energy
transactions, litigation, corporate restructuring, M&A and
technology deals. Noteworthy clients include Starbucks, LUKOIL,
NFL, Apollo Global Management, Abu Dhabi Motorsports, The Embassy
of Japan, Pardee Homes, several Native American tribes, VimpelCom
and noteholders of the Eastman Kodak Company in that organization's
bankruptcy proceeding. The firm and its attorneys have collected
awards for practice and pro bono work from Financial
Times, InsideCounsel, Asialaw,
Law360, The National Law Journal and The
American Lawyer.
Historic Moves
In what has been called the largest lateral move in London legal
industry history, in September 2014 a group of 28 partners along
with dozens of other lawyers and staff from Bingham McCutchen
joined Akin Gump in London and Hong Kong as well as in its newest
office, Frankfurt. The move combined industry-leading financial
restructuring practices on both sides of the Atlantic and brought
to Akin Gump stellar additions in key practices such as corporate,
litigation, regulatory and tax.
Going Green
Two of Akin Gump's offices-New York and Philadelphia-received
LEED®-CI certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Akin
Gump is the first law firm in New York (and only the second in the
United States) to earn Gold LEED certification. The firm is showing
its green commitment with features like floor-to-ceiling building
glass to maximize natural light, an on-site five megawatt combined
heat and power electrical plant, a "grey-water" system that
collects and reuses rainfall, and furniture constructed from wood
harvested from FSC-certified forests.
Pro Bono Leaders
In a story covered by national legal and general media, ranging
from The National Law Journal to The New York
Times and NPR, Akin Gump formed the Karnes City Immigrant
Family Pro Bono Project with representatives from academia and
human rights nonprofits to offer pro bono legal support to Central
American women and children seeking asylum who are being held in a
government detention center in Karnes City, Texas. Akin Gump
donated more than 3,800 hours of pro bono attorney time as well as
administrative staff support from 15 people as part of its efforts
to counsel and represent these families who are fleeing violence in
their own countries.
Power Up
Akin Gump advised the conflicts committee of Regency Energy
Partners LP in the company's definitive merger agreement with
Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. At the time, this deal was selected
by Texas Lawyer as its Deal of the Week, the second
straight week in which Akin Gump was counsel on a deal to receive
this honor
Novel Theories
Akin Gump obtained a 5-1 decision at the International Trade
Commission on behalf of Shikoku Chemicals Corporation and Shikoku
International Corporation in which the Commission ruled there is no
injury or threat of injury from chlorinated isocyanurates (swimming
pool chemicals) from Japan. To do so, the ITC decided, thanks to
testimony and documentation from the client and Akin Gump team, not
to cumulate imports in its injury analysis, which is contrary to
its approach in almost all antidumping injury investigations.
Case Dismissed
An Akin Gump labor and employment practice team successfully moved
for summary judgment on behalf of client Home Depot in a Fair Labor
Standards Act collective action and Arizona class action. The Akin
Gump team successfully argued that, contrary to the allegations,
drivers who perform delivery services for Home Depot were not
misclassified as "independent contractors."
Making Time for Exercise
In a widely reported deal, Akin Gump advised Forstmann Little &
Co. in its sale of 24 Hour Fitness USA, Inc to AEA Investors, the
Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Fitness Capital Partners. With
this transaction, the sale of investment properties of the late Ted
Forstmann, entrusted to Akin Gump, came to a successful

BOSTON The Massachusetts Gaming Commission last week awarded the first of three statewide casino licenses to MGM Springfield. MGM Resorts was the only remaining contender for the license in that region.
But in eastern Massachusetts there's competition. Wynn Resorts has proposed a casino in Everett, while Mohegan Sun wants to build a casino on the Revere side of the Suffolk Downs racetrack.
One of the sticking points in both deals has been the city of Boston's role. State gaming regulators are giving Boston one more week to reach a surrounding community agreement with both sides, even as Boston Mayor Marty Walsh says he still believes Boston should be a host community.
Mohegan Gaming CEO Mitchell Etess joined WBUR's Morning Edition to talk about why he believes the license should go to Revere.

A little about me and what I do...
I started as a certified labor doula ten years ago and am currently a student midwife. I am a mother of 8 children, ages 12 and under. I am passionate about natural birth and I am eager to help other mothers achieve the birth experience that they desire. I believe birth can be an incredibly empowering event, even if it does not happen the way that we plan. By educating ourselves about the birthing process, we take the power into our own hands so that we can make the best choices about our babies and our births.
I am a La Leche League Leader and have breastfed my own 8 children, including tandem nursing two sets twins. I am happy to answer any questions about breastfeeding and can be reached via phone or email.
After the successful HBAC (homebirth after cesarean) of my twin daughters, I decided to become even more involved in ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network.) I was the ICAN chapter leader for Augusta, GA (click here) working to ensure that more women can be empowered to give birth the way they choose.

I know! I must have spent a few hundred on fishing stuff in the past week. (and all I bought was dog poop) I got a pole at walmart and was pretty impressed, it is the Shakespear Tiger. (7 foot w/ reel and 12 pound line) The whole deal was $19, they also make a longer one for $24 but I did not see that until after I bought 2 of the others. I bought one and liked it, went back and got the sticker for using an extra pole and bought another pole. Now I can throw bait out and still play around with lures. When I get tired of that, I throw out the extra pole w/ bait and double my chances. If anyone needs a cheapo pole, I'd try that Tiger from walmart.
Now you have another habbit to spend mony on.

New to modding under the hood of any kind. Want to know the best places to start getting a decent balance between lower price options and best results. I know, you get what you pay for. I mean lower end cost mods that will boost HP and performance strictly under the hood.
If your car is completely stock, the best bang for your buck when it comes to increasing power is an aftermarket downpipe with some type of "Stage 2" ecu reflash. There are a number of ways to do that, so search here: [url=http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=533787]Unabomber's Manifesto - NASIOC[/url]
It's debatable whether or not you need to upgrade your cat back at this point, but it's usually a good idea while you're there. Cat backs are mostly for looks and sound, but some gains can be had by upgrading to a larger, better flowing exhaust. Finally, you'll want to upgrade your stock up pipe to a catless version since the up pipes in 02-05 WRXs come with catalytic converters which tend to wear out and break down over time, sending bits of metal into your turbo and engine, causing potentially catastrophic failure. There's a little power to be gained in terms of a quicker spooling turbo, but it's mostly a safety mod.
Awesome link and ideas. Thanks

Well I was simply suggesting getting better tires before bumping up power levels. Get a tune and full turbo back exhaust.

Bo Xilai: downfall of one of China's most powerful men
Chongqing party boss ousted amid rumours of attempted defection, suicide and torture
THE CHIEF of the world's biggest municipality, Chongqing, has been expelled by the Chinese government amid rumours of mafia-style torture and other scandals.
Bo Xilai is the son of the late communist leader Bo Yibo, and therefore known as a 'princeling' in China. Chongqing, where he was party boss, is an area with a population larger than Australia and New Zealand's combined.
The 62-year-old had been a figurehead of China's "red" movement, reviving songs and slogans from the Mao era, and looked likely to become one of the country's top rulers in November.
He became a nationwide hero when he and his police chief Wang Lijun spearheaded an anti-corruption drive against the mafia of Chongqing and last year boasted of turning his exploits into a movie modelled on The Godfather.
Then, last month, Wang fled to a US consulate, reportedly asking to defect to America in exchange for information about Bo. The consulate was swiftly surrounded by Chinese police cars and the next day Wang was "spirited away" to Beijing where he is still under investigation.
A former Chongqing billionaire, Li Jun, has since claimed he was tortured on the orders of Wang and described the famous anti-corruption campaign as using "mafia methods in the name of cracking down on the mafia".
Another businessman Zhang Mingyu disappeared last Wednesday after claiming that a Chongqing official with alleged mob ties had committed suicide. After mysteriously blogging that "the jigsaw puzzle of Wang Lijun should be revealed" he was visited by police and, according to his lawyer, has not been seen since.
It looked as if Bo had emerged from the cloud of rumours unscathed. But yesterday, in an unusually rare outburst, the outgoing premier, Wen Jiabao, unleashed a barely veiled attack on the Chongqinq leader during a press conference.
Jiabao said officials must "learn lessons" from the Wang incident and attacked Bo's "red" movement campaign. Within 24 hours, China's state newspaper announced that Bo would be standing down.

The first generation Infiniti G was launched with the Numbering G20 in 1990. It was a front wheel drive car with five manual gears. You could buy the coupe or sedan with automatic gears, seats made of leather and a roof made of glass that could be opened or closed with the touch of a button. In 1994 a touring version was added to the lineup which had seats made of black leather, bucket seats in the front and foldable back seats. In 1996, the production of the G series was stopped. The second generation Infiniti G Series made its debut in 1999. It was taller and longer then the first generation vehicle and it was powered by a 2.0 Liter engine having four cylinders. It came in two versions, entry level and Touring model, which had manual or automatic gears. In 2000, the engine got a bit more powerful and the window on the driver's side became one touch. The Touring version of the G model was dropped in 2002.
In 2003, the third generation Infiniti G model with the nomenclature G35 made its debut. It came in two versions, a coupe and a sedan. Both versions derived their power from a V6 engine had first a gear system with six automatic gears then with a gear system with 6 manual gears. Both the sedan and coupe were equipped with anti lock brakes, airbags in the front, and a CD player located in the dashboard. In 2004, the sedan was equipped with an alternate all wheel drive system which had automatic gears. The rear wheel drive sedans were equipped with six automatic gears then with a gear system with 6 manual gears. In 2005 the horsepower ratings of both the sedan and coupe were increased. In 2006, a system was introduced where the vehicle could be entered and started without the use of keys.
In the model year 2007, the Infiniti G series or G35 comes in coupe and sedan styles. The engine for all G series cars is a 3.5 Liter V6 engine. The sedan has 5 models in its lineup, entry level, Journey, X that is an all wheel drive, Sport and Sport 6 Mt. The entry level car is equipped with leather seats that can be moved in eight different ways for The driver and 6 for the passenger with the touch of a button and 17 inch tires, temperatures inside the car can be controlled automatically, and a CD player. The Journey has a CD player that can store 6 CDs. In the X model, there is all wheel drive and the seats in the front are heated. The Sport version has 18 inch tires and seats in the front are sport design. The Sport 6MT adds a gear system with 6 manual gears. The Coupe comes in entry level and a version with manual gears. Both are equipped with the same equipment as the entry level sedan.

It was only a few minutes after the credits ended following tonight's New York screening of "Dreamgirls" that someone asked me whether the film will be nominated for best picture. For those few of us watching the Oscar race this early, the movie has been a high-profile contender (just look at the Movie City News Gurus o' Gold list which has it in the top spot of likely best picture nominees). But that was before anyone had seen the film. The discussion over its best picture prospects will begin in earnest tomorrow.
Bill Condon's "Dreamgirls" is a bright, toe-tapping, entertaining big screen musical. A lot of fun, its light on story but full of heart (with lots of music). Its family friendly and seems well-suited to its upcoming holiday release. But, is it a best picture contender? Perhaps, as an alternative to the heavier fall films out there. Whatever the case, it sure was a lot of fun. However, will its prospects whither under over analysis and high expectations? No matter, Paramount is already pushing it hard (with "for your consideration" ads even running this week on indieWIRE).
Paramount insiders told me after the Lincoln Square screening tonight that this first showing was for select press only (although I did spot some industry insiders in the audience)...anyway if the movie was truly screened tonight just for typically reserved press types, then the film is in great shape, since people in the audience were applauding after many of the numbers and at the end, women next to me were in tears, exclaiming "Wow! Wow!"
I'll have to ponder it a bit more to decide where it will rank on my Guru's o' Gold best picture prognostication list next week...

Michele Bachmann misleads supporters about CDC abortion data
There she goes again.
Rep. Michele Bachmann has stated flatly to supporters in a fundraising e-mail that the Obama administration is refusing to publish the CDC's annual "Abortion Surveillance Report."
But an e-mail (below) obtained by Media Matters shows that the report has been submitted for editing, and the CDC says a delay in data collection has merely pushed the publication date back.
There's nothing unusual about that delay, contrary to a claim at Red State that, "For 40 years that report has appeared in the last November or first December issue of CDC's journal, the Morbidity and Mortality Report Weekly Report." The data for 1998 were published in June 2002, for example. The data for 1993 were published in August 1997, and the data for 1992 were published in May 1996.
Michele Bachmann's worst nightmare: TSA leaks naked body scans of Congresswoman
Red State claimed the White House "killed" the report, Fox News gave the blog rumor a megaphone, and now it's showing up in Bachmann's e-mail, because she's looking for red meat to feed her drive to defund Planned Parenthood:
RedState.com has revealed that, for the first time in 40 years, the Centers for Disease Control has not published their annual "Abortion Surveillance Report," which details how many legal abortions are performed in the United States every year.
What was Bachmann looking at during Tea Party SOTU Response?
But here's the e-mail obtained by Media Matters showing the report has been submitted for the usual editing process.
The report has been delayed, not "killed."
CDC via Media Matters
And even Red State was willing to publish an e-mail it received from the CDC, attesting to the delay of the publication. Maybe Bachmann should have read that e-mail before declaring:
The fact that this report is no longer being published is another example of the lack of transparency in this Administration.
CDC expects to publish the data sometime later this month.

Check out Gleason Fest 2013
Gleason Fest 2013 from Team Gleason on Vimeo.
Gleason Fest is an annual grassroots, indie music festival in Spokane, WA benefitting Team Gleason. All proceeds of Gleason Fest will provide life-improving technology and services to those afflicted with ALS and create global awareness for the disease. This year Gleason Fest brings the medicine tribe to the streets of downtown Spokane. Nahko And Medicine For The People are joined by Rising Appalachia, The Rustics, Real Life Rockaz, Hey! is for Horses, and more."
Team Gleason is inspired by Spokane native, Steve Gleason. He attended Gonzaga Preparatory School, where he was a standout football player, earning consecutive Greater Spokane League (GSL) Defensive MVP awards and inducted into the Gonzaga Prep Hall of Fame. Steve played college football at Washington State and was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. After graduating, he was signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2000. He was released by the team after the preseason and was signed to the New Orleans Saints.
On September 25, 2006, Steve was responsible for one of the most dramatic moments in Saints history. He blocked a punt in the first quarter against the Atlanta Falcons, which was recovered in the Falcons' end zone for a touchdown. It was the opening score in the Saints' first home game in nearly 21 months, during which time Hurricane Katrina had devastated the city.
Steve retired from the NFL after eight seasons with the New Orleans Saints. He went on to attend Tulane University and earned his Master of Business Administration degree.
In January 2011, Steve was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Steve and his foundation are deeply committed to helping people with ALS live productive, inspired lives by providing access to life-affirming events and assistive technology until a cure is found.
We are out to rally with Steve and continue to support his mission to provide individuals with ALS leading edge technology, raise public awareness and find a cure. To do that we need your help! Please review the options below and contribute through the

Two hours east of San Antonio, in the little town of Yoakum, Leland Tucker founded Circle Y saddles. It was 1960. He built his business from scratch, and now, over forty -five years later, Circle Y is one of the most distinguished saddle manufacturers in the world. And though it�s much bigger than a family business now, Leland Tucker founded the company with a heritage and tradition that has not been cast aside.
Tucker thought the saddle industry could use finer products. He was right. Today Circle Y Saddles is America�s leading saddle brand. They lead the saddle industry by producing cutting-edge technology combined with superior quality that benefits everyone from the barrel racer to the trail guide. They�re committed to always improving and always being a step above the rest.
Take, for example, their patented
Flex-Lite tree design
. The Flex-Lite tree is lightweight and flexible, allowing the tree to fit a range of horses as if it was custom-made. Their
seat jockey and fender leather give their saddles a �ready to ride feel� and promise to minimize knee and ankle strain.
Unlike a lot of other saddle companies, Circle Y extends their saddle research to a broad range of western disciplines. They make saddles for trail riding, barrel racing, roping, cutting, penning, showing, and reining. They also make Arabian and ranch work saddles. The craftsmen who make the saddles are experienced and only use the finest quality materials, from the leather to the silver trim. Circle Y also makes a wide range of tack goods, including breast collars, bridles, and reins.
Recently Circle Y added to their �Team of Champions��a unique group of renown authors, competitors, and trainers who are proud to put their name behind Circle Y�s saddles. Kelly Kaminski, 2005 world Champion and four time NFR qualifier, is their newest addition. In their catalog she states she believes Circle Y�s success is �a result of their passion for excellence, their persistence in progressive creativity and innovation, and their commitment to customer satisfaction and quality.� Martha Josey is also part of their team of champions. She is a world renown barrel racer and has even partnered with Circle Y to create her own line of Ultimate Barrel racing saddles. Other people on the team include Cash Myers, Marlene McRae, Clay Harper, Janine Wilder, and Dawn Samuelson. Circle Y�s team of champions proves that their saddles are worthy enough to win the endorsement of the people who have the highest success in the industry.
Circle Y goods are only sold through authorized dealers. Here at the Horse Saddle Shop, we make our customers happy by only choosing to sell quality products that we can guarantee you�ll be pleased with. We�re proud to be partnered with Circle Y.

Attracting foreign investors
Finance Ministry launches campaign to attract foreign investors to Israel
The Israeli delegation will meet with senior European policymakers and high-level executives of European financial institutions and spell out to them the advantages of the Israeli economy against the background of today's global economic challenges.
Israel Ministry of Finance
(Communicated by the
International Affairs Department, Ministry of Finance
Against the backdrop of a decline in foreign investments in Israel, Minister of Finance Dr. Yuval Steinitz, and Acting Director General of the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Doron Cohen, joined by leading members of the Israeli business community, headed this morning for Europe to attend the Bloomberg Sovereign Debt Conference, with the aim of promoting Israel as an economic haven and attractive investment center.
The delegation accompanying the minister will include the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Commissioner in the Ministry of Finance, Prof. Adi Sarig; the Chairman of the ISCAR company, Mr. Eitan Wertheimer; the General Manager of Intel Israel and Vice President of Intel International, Ms. Maxine Fassberg; the Chief Scientist in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, Mr. Avi Hasson; the CEO of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, Ms. Esther Levanon, and the former Director General of the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Haim Shani.
Bloomberg Sovereign Debt Conference
is being held to discuss developments in the European debt crisis and assess opportunities for attractive and sustainable investments. At the conference,
the Israeli delegation will meet with senior European policymakers and high-level executives of European financial institutions and spell out to them the advantages of the Israeli economy against the background of today's global economic challenges.
The activities of the minister and the delegation at the conference are one facet of an international public information campaign that is being launched by the Ministry of Finance to attract investments to Israel and exploit the opportunities presented by the complex global financial situation. The campaign follows a decline in recent months in foreign investments in Israel and is based on an understanding of the importance of foreign investments at the present juncture for sustaining economic growth. It will be conducted in cooperation with some of the world's leading economic media outlets, ensuring a wide reach that includes key financial decision makers.
The visit of the Minister of Finance to Germany follows a series of meetings held by him in recent months with officials in India, the United States and China, with a view to generating foreign interest in investment opportunities in Israel and expanding Israeli exports.
The conference in Germany is being organized by Bloomberg and will receive extensive media coverage, including on Bloomberg TV which caters to an investor and business audience that is of particular importance for Israel. Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Business Week are media leaders, worldwide and especially in Europe, and they exert great influence on decision makers in government and in the business world.
Dr. Steinitz will be one of the featured speakers at the conference. In his presentation he will portray
Israel as an attractive investment destination that has charted a prudent and responsible course through the global economic crisis
, maintaining impressive financial strength and security in the face of complex challenges.
The conference, which is to be held in Frankfurt, the capital of the German and, to some extent, the European economy, will be attended by some 150 opinion leaders, among them the heads of international financial organizations as well as leading banks and investment houses, international rating companies and central regulatory agencies. The Minister of Finance and the Israeli delegation will play a significant part in the conference, with the minister scheduled to moderate several panel discussions on the Israeli economy as a model of economic strength and stability in a time of crisis.
Full press release
* * *
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz:
"Israel's achievements over the past few years have been impressive, more so than those of other western economies. However, in order for us to continue to enjoy a level of positive growth, we must attract investments to Israel and maintain at least the same level of investments."
Maxine Fassberg, CEO of Intel Israel and VP of Intel International:
"Intel initially came to Israel in 1974 and established its planning center in Haifa. The main reason for its arrival was the quality of the manpower, the engineers, their ability to solve problems in creative and original ways and, ultimately, to provide Intel with solutions that would be used by the company and are still being used to this day. To date, Intel has invested USD 9.4 billion in Israel, while the Israeli government has invested USD 1.3 billion. This partnership has led to the situation today, with Intel's most advanced technologies being produced in Kiryat Gat. A combination of awesome engineering capabilities, Israel's high quality educational infrastructure, the number of Nobel Prize winners in relation to the population, the blend of educational capabilities and government investments - have made Israel highly attractive to international companies."
Avi Hasson, Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor:
"Israel has had the wisdom to build a unique ecosystem for the promotion of the industry of innovation, which has brought 200 foreign companies who chose to establish development centers in the State of Israel, including longstanding players like IBM and Intel, alongside new players such as Apple, which is setting up its only center outside the US.
Today, foreign companies in Israel represent not only the communications and software sectors, but also include companies from a variety of other sectors, such as GM, Merck and Coca-Cola, companies that come to Israel in search of its unique human capital and groundbreaking technologies.
Over the years, the Israeli government has bu! ilt a system of infrastructures for education that encourages entrepreneurship, coupled with an investor-friendly business culture and programs for encouraging capital investments. The fact that Israeli companies raised over USD 2 billion in 2011, with the lion's share coming from foreign investments, speaks for itself."

Simple feature, multi-variant and A/B testing
pivot is a simple feature multi-variant and A/B testing framework for node and component.
It is designed to have a pluggable backend and provide a common interface to each testing strategy.
npm install --save pivot
component install CamShaft/pivot
Start by initializing pivot
/** * Module dependencies */var pivot = require"pivot"; var experiments = pivot;
You'll need to tell it about the following methods:
This method looks up the variant settings in the backend. It is called any time pivot encounters a new feature.
experimentslookup /** * We can do a few things here: * * * Lookup our feature settings locally * * If we dont have it, notify an admin control panel page * * Log outdated features; either ones that should be integrated or ones that should be removed */ var settings = ; // can come from anywhere: database, REST api, local json file, etc donenull settings;;
This method takes the settings from the last call and assigns them to a user.
experimentsassign /** * If the variant is a group, we can inspect the `user` object to check where they fall * If the variant is a weight, we can implement our own random assignment algorithm * * The callback expects the name of the variant chosen for the given user */ // For this example we're just going to assign the first variant to everyone donenull settings0;;
If you plan on using it paired with express/connect, you can also define the following.
Otherwise, pivot will serialize/deserialize using the
pivot cookie and
experimentsserialize // Save the features for the user next;;
experimentsdeserialize // Retrieve the features for the request var features = {}; // can come from anywhere i.e. cookies, session, database nextnull features;;
experimentsfindUser // Give the user for the request to pivot nextnull requser;;
Once you have told pivot how to do things you can start adding features into the system:
// Variants, be default, are [false, true] experimentsfeature"my-cool-test"; // You can also add multi-variant experimentsfeature"my-other-test" "blue" "red" "green";
Now you can ask pivot to assign a variant to a user:
var user = {}; // pull from your user info experimentsvariant"my-cool-test" user // do something based on the value of variant
variant is either
true or
false depending on how we implemented the
assign method.

Frankenhooker is a grisly, grotesque horror comedy recommended only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.
Frankenhooker is a grisly, grotesque horror comedy recommended only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.James Lorinz plays Jeffrey Franken, a New Jersey Gas & Electric worker who aspires to be a mad scientist. There isn't much left of his pretty girlfriend Elizabeth (Patty Mullen) after her fatal run-in with a remote-control lawn mower. But Franken has preserved her head in his garage laboratory. All he needs is a new body to make the package complete. Jeffrey drives across the river to Times Square to find streetwalkers more than willing to sell (or at least rent) their bodies. Even by genre standards, Frankenhooker often is offensive in its repeated reliance on murdering, dismembering and humiliating women for laughs. Lorinz has some inspired moments of self-absorbed craziness as Jeffrey, and Mullen reveals a fine talent for physical comedy when Elizabeth returns as the lumbering, mind-blown Frankenhooker.

A proxy for state machines to preserve state and history
This module allows you to replay scenarios from state machines whose interface is a single class. Advantageous to serializing and saving internal state as a JSON blob because not only do you get full revision history, but also append-only history which is nice for replication.
Attach a state machine of your choice, and pass in the operations that changes the state of the class. Here we use duel tournaments as a reference state machine class.
var PreservedDuel = require'preservative'require'duel' 'new' 'score'; var duel = 8; // 8 player duel tournament duelscoreduelmatches0id 10; // use duel API duelscoreduelmatches1id 12; // use duel API var preserve = duelpreserve;preserve; type: 'new' args: 8 undefined type: 'score' args: s: 1 r: 1 m: 1 1 0 undefined type: 'score' args: s: 1 r: 1 m: 2 1 2 undefined var duel = PreservedDuelfrompreserve; // same as original duel before .preserve();
If the underlying state machine returns boolean whether or not the operation was allowed, preservative can filter out the calls that were disallowed.
var PreservedDuel = require'preservative'require'duel' 'new' 'score' filterNoops: true ;var duel = 4;var last = duelmatchesduelmatcheslength-1;duelscorelastid 10; // false duelpreserve; // [ { type: 'new', args: [ 4, undefined ] } ] var first = duelmatches0duelscorefirstid 10; // true duelpreserve; type: 'new' args: 4 undefined type: 'score' args: s: 1 r: 1 m: 1 1 0 undefined
By using
ignoreNoops, you only get the part of history that mattered.

Lily Tomlin Biography
Home > Actresses > T > Tomlin, Lily > Biography
Birth Name: Lily Tomlin
Born: 09/01/1939
Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Born: 09/01/1939
Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Mary Jean Tomlin was born on Sept. 1, 1939. Tomlin's mother was a Tupperware-loving housewife, her father an auto factory employee who had immigrated the family to Detroit from the town of Paducah, KY, where Tomlin spent her summers on a farm. Tomlin was the funny ringleader, pulling in friends and neighborhood kids as part of her makeshift shows, which she performed around the apartment complex where the family lived. Her upbringing was consistently marked by mashed-up blends of blue-collar virtues and well-to-do refinement, the latter segment of the population often inspiring the diverse sensibilities of her characters. Tomlin's interest in creating voices was solidified by a schoolteacher with a curious habit of using voices in her lectures. As Tomlin got older, her interests broadened and, nurtured by a neighborhood woman with a love of botany, Tomlin found a deep fascination with the sciences. In high school as Cass Technical High, the ebullient Tomlin was both a science whiz and a member of the cheerleading squad.
She had intended to put her academic side to use as a student at Detroit's Wayne State University, but after two years on the pre-med path, Tomlin's desire to perform and elicit laughter won out. She left school and began performing stand-up comedy, first in her hometown, then in 1962, she headed to New York City becoming a fixture in the Greenwich Village clubs along with future fellow comic icon Joan Rivers. Tomlin's profile received a huge boost when she appeared on "The Merv Griffin Show" in 1965. In 1966, Tomlin made her series debut on "The Garry Moore Show" (1958-1967) and played various characters. For her audition, she adopted the persona of a would-be beauty contestant in ancient Rome. In 1969, "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" producer George Schlatter, who had seen one of her stand-up sets, invited Tomlin to join the show. She was asked twice, but was not sure at first, opting to go to the short-lived, seemingly more relevant route that was the "The Music Scene" (1969). After the cancellation of "The Music Scene," she joined "Laugh-In" in the middle of its 1969-1970 season. Tomlin made a big splash, introducing television audiences to the classic character of Ernestine, the nasal-voiced, sassy telephone operator and the rascally little girl Edith Ann.
Tomlin released a comedy album of her live bits in 1971, This Is a Recording, which netted her a Grammy Award. Tomlin stayed with "Laugh-In" until 1973, and won a 1972 Golden Globe Award for her work on the series. In March of 1973, Tomlin and a staff that included writing partner Jane Wagner came out with the first of her specials, "The Lily Tomlin Show," followed by another with "Lily" in November. The specials featured Tomlin in top form as she showcased various signature characters and added some new ones. The first "Lily" won Tomlin and her writing staff Emmys in 1974. The year 1975 was a banner one for Tomlin. Aside from the two specials, "Lily" in February and "The Lily Tomlin Special" in July, the latter of which earned her two more Emmy nominations, Tomlin started things out in January with a role in film director Robert Altman's drama "Nashville" (1975). As the housewife of two, Linnea Reese, Tomlin showed her dramatic side. It was a turning point for her career as an actress and gave Hollywood a new sense of what she was capable of, especially when she received an Academy Award nomination in 1976 for the role. It would not be a trophy-less year, however, as Tomlin won an Emmy Award for the ABC special "Lily Tomlin" (1976).
In 1977, Tomlin and Wagner collaborated on a Broadway show entitled "Appearing Nitely," which Wagner wrote and directed in 1977. The show netted Tomlin a Special Award prize at the 1977 Tonys. Tomlin also appeared alongside host Steve Martin on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" (1975- ), on which she had previously served as host in its first season. She and Wagner then pulled in actor John Travolta for Wagner's romantic drama "Moment by Moment" (1978), which bombed famously. With Tomlin's fame on the rise, she continued to take on more movie roles. Her second signature film, "9 to 5" (1980) saw her playing Violet, one of three frustrated corporate women who kidnap their misogynist boss, followed by the 1981 comedy "The Incredible Shrinking Woman."
In 1984, Tomlin re-teamed with Martin for a feature comedy, in which she restrained herself to act as the comic foil, the wealthy, sickly Edwina Cutwater of "All of Me." The next year, Tomlin and Jane Wagner found their biggest and most vital success with Tomlin's one-woman show, "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe." In the show, self-financed by Tomlin and Wagner and written and directed by Wagner, Tomlin affected a large number of characters, many of whom derived from her past sketches, in varying states of life. Chiefly among them was the narrator and loopy bag lady Trudy, who served as a conduit for curious aliens. The show, a wise and funny take on humanity, struck the right chord with Broadway audiences, winning Tomlin a Tony Award for her performance in 1986.
Tomlin and another iconic performer, Better Midler tried their hand at a team-up in 1988, with the feature film comedy "Big Business." Tomlin's was a role originally earmarked for former "Laugh-In" veteran Goldie Hawn. The success of "The Search " and its wealth of material was too good to leave to history, of course, and was revisited in 1991, when a shortened version was filmed as a movie. Tomlin went on the next year to appear in Woody Allen's "Shadows and Fog" (1992), playing a hooker, and, in another seminal dramatic role, in Robert Altman's sprawling drama of vignettes "Short Cuts" 1993), playing a woman unaware of her role in a fatal traffic mishap. It was her third time with Altman, following her cameo as herself in "The Player" (1992). She followed that up with another dramatic role, putting her pre-med days to use as a doctor in HBO's September adaptation of "And the Band Played On" (1993), a depiction of the early years of the AIDS epidemic.
Tomlin revisited another old character in 1994, summoning the dormant voice of Edith Ann in an ABC animated special, "Edith Ann - A Few Pieces of the Puzzle," one of several Edith Ann projects she would collaborate on for the network in the mid '90s. That year, her voice could also be heard on a September episode of NBC's "Frasier" (1993-2004). Tomlin looked to stay within the family-friendly realm, playing Mrs. Valerie Frizzle, the host of the PBS show, "The Magic Schoolbus" (1994-98). Edith Ann even helped land her creator a Peabody Award for a 1996 holiday special, entitled "Edith Ann's Christmas: Just Say N l."
With a habit of finding memorable characters, Tomlin took to the burgeoning '90s independent cinema scene with a role opposite Alan Alda and Ben Stiller in David O. Russell's "Flirting with Disaster" (1996), a modern classic with tragicomic outcomes. As the not-quite-former hippie mother, Mary Schlichting, Tomlin's character effectively vexed Stiller to the point of comic lunacy. The same year, she took on the regular role of Kay Carter-Shepley on CBS' long-running newsroom comedy, "Murphy Brown" (1988-1998), staying with the series until its finale. By the time she was graced with a 1996 Emmy nomination for an appearance that year on "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993 99), Tomlin had received a staggering six wins and 15 nominations total.
In 2000, Tomlin revived "The Search " once more for the Broadway stages, which she and Wagner then took across the United States, including San Francisco, where the play ran for a good half a year. By then, Tomlin, who had long valued her well-guarded privacy, had publicly revealed that not only had Wagner been her head writer for the past three decades, she was also her romantic partner as well. Tomlin, who had alluded to the relationship over the years, had previously shepherded the HBO Peabody-winning documentary "The Celluloid Closet" (1995), which looked closely at the history of homosexuality in Hollywood and was a firm, longtime supporter of gay rights. The revelation seemed to have little effect on a career dominated by multitudes of professional accomplishments. The Tomlin fans simply kept coming back.
With her formidable dramatic weight, Tomlin had found another long-running TV home on NBC's presidential drama, "The West Wing" (1999-2006), recurring on the series from 2002 until its final season. Showing no signs of fatigue, Tomlin was very much in demand. Small parts in studio films like the Bruce Willis vehicle, "The Kid" (2000), the college satire "Orange County" (2002), and a re-teaming with David O. Russell for the existential art house comedy "I Heart Huckabees" (2004), provided a versatile string of roles within an industry that often relegated its older performers to thankless roles. A few years after the release of the modest hit film, Tomlin's verbal sparrings with mercurial director Russell would hit the internet, creating a major buzz within the industry.
By 2006, Tomlin's slate was a strong reflection of the full range of gifts she had nurtured. In June, she appeared in Robert Altman's final film, "A Prairie Home Companion," singing and dancing in between comedic barbs alongside Meryl Streep, as one half of the Johnson Sisters. A month later, Tomlin put her penchant for voices on display as the quirky grandmother Mommo of July's animated "The Ant Bully." She kept on filming throughout the year for a curious mix of directing talent, tackling writer-director Paul Schrader's "The Walker" (2007), sketch comedy master David Wain's "Seniors" (2007) and then a trip into the demented day of "Barry Munday" (2007). Following a recurring role as Roberta, the sister of Mrs. McCluskey (Kathryn Joosten) on "Desperate Housewives" (ABC, 2004-2012), Tomlin joined the cast of "Damages" (FX, 2007- ), playing the desperate matriarch of a wealthy family whose husband (Len Cariou) is convicted of operating a Bernie Madoff-like Ponzi scheme. Her performance as a woman willing to do anything to protect her wealth earned Tomlin an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. In 2011, Tomlin was a guest star on the popular military procedural "NCIS" (CBS, 2003- ) and had a hilarious turn as the mother of washed-up baseball pitcher Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) in an episode of "Eastbound & Down" (HBO, 2009-2012). Tomlin and Wagner married on December 31, 2013, in New York City.

The young parents of a three month old baby have been charged with abusing the infant.
Pitt County deputies say they were called to a home on Northwest Acres Drive outside of Greenville on Thursday by Falkland EMS.
The baby's parents, Juana Sutton and Heriberto Olguin, have been charged with negligent child abuse-serious personal injury.
Sutton is 19-years-old, while Olguin is 20.
Deputies say relatives became concerned after not seeing the baby for some time and called EMS after checking on the infant.
Once at Vidant Medical Center, deputies say they discovered the baby had signs of neglect and obvious physical injuries.
The mother was jailed on a $50,000 secured bond, while the father was freed after posting a $25,000 secured bond.

100 years of fighting bias against Jews - and others
Two years ago, an unidentified man left a menacing phone message at Poway's Sikh temple.
"This was a threat of violence," said Gagandeep Kaur, a trustee for the gurdwara or temple. "We were very concerned."
So this Sikh did what seemed natural: She called a Jewish group, the Anti-Defamation League.
"They were able to guide us through this process," Kaur said, "telling us who to call and how to hire security."
Known as the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League is marking its 100th anniversary in the United States and its 35th year in San Diego. Established after Leo Frank, a Jew from New York, was lynched in Georgia, the ADL initially battled anti-Semitic caricatures in the media.
But even then, Monica Bauer said, the group's focus extended beyond any one group.
"The mission has always been to stop the defamation of the Jewish people," said Bauer, the ADL's community coordinator in San Diego, "and to secure justice and fair treatment for all."
Today, that means tracking down vandals who deface synagogues and exposing Holocaust deniers' fallacies — but also opposing gay-bashers, white supremacists, cyber-bullies and other bigots.
"Haters are very open-minded," said Mark Dillon, whose term as local ADL board chairman ended in January. "They hate Jews, they hate black people, they hate other people of color and they hate people of other religions.
"We are a Jewish organization, but we are not just for Jews. If it's a hate crime, it's on our target list."
Nerve-racking trip
From Christ's crucifixion to the Great Depression, many historical calamities have been falsely blamed on "the Jews." The accusations were often contradictory — if a Jewish conspiracy ran the global economy, media and governments, why did so many prestigious schools, professions and neighborhoods bar them?
From its birth, then, the national Anti-Defamation League faced numerous slurs: The anti-Semitic tracts of Henry Ford; the rants of Father Charles Coughlin, a Catholic priest whose broadcasts of the 1930s and '40s slammed Jews and "Jewish bankers"; even Nazi supporters in prewar America.
After World War II, the ADL targeted the Ku Klux Klan and segregation, while lending support to the new state of Israel.
When Morris Casuto opened the League's San Diego office in the 1970s, real estate covenants barring Jews from the area's best neighborhoods were vanishing. Yet white supremacists were preaching racial hatred on local radio and cable TV stations. Synagogues found their walls spray-painted with neo-Nazi symbols and slogans.
One night, acting on a tip that another synagogue was about to be defaced, Casuto and an FBI agent raced toward the scene. The trip was especially tense because they had to discuss strategy with the rabbi — who, being Orthodox, could not conduct business once sunset began the Sabbath.

"So we were trying to get through Friday night rush-hour traffic," said Bill Gore, then with the FBI and now San Diego County's sheriff. "Before sundown."
The ADL's strong ties to law enforcement, Gore said, benefits both parties. This year, for instance, more than 2,500 police officers and deputies underwent ADL training in hate crimes and counterterrorism.
"They bring in first-rate, top caliber instructors from Israel," Gore said. "I don't think there's anybody more experienced in counterterrorism than the Israelis."

Yes, definitely, link wheels are an excellent way to generate more traffic to your site. Some may not be familiar with it since people tend to focus on what's talked about with regards to link building. We always hear the same old approach of getting back links, and jump start right with it without proper planning.
I am not saying that this don't work, of course it does, blog commenting works provided that you post comments on relevant site, else it will not give any PR boost to your site. Directory submission is an excellent way to establish your site. Article marketing is another way to build back links. What I am actually saying is a strategy or an approach you could implement to build links.
First let me define what is a link wheel, basically, it is a set of links interconnected with one another and pointing towards your main website. Link wheel building therefore is creating interlinked pages pointing in one direction.
This is Web 2.0 properties comes in handy, such as Squidoo and Hubpages. The idea here is to create unique article for each high PR site. This article then has an anchor text pointing back to one of the pages created.
For example your site offers website design, web development and search engine optimization (SEO) services. You then build article pertaining to website design like "How to Create SEO Website Design Friendly", create an anchor text, your strong keyword that you want to rank and submit it to Ezine or other high PR article directories (the resource box is the great place to place your anchor text). Next create another hub or lens on Squidoo or whichever you choose pertaining to SEO, with another anchor text pointing to the article you just created and another to the main website. The same will step will follow until you have created 6 spoke, preferably unique article – every spoke has two links, one pointing to the main website and the other pointing to the other sites you have created.
If you try to visualize the basic steps on link wheel building, it's actually like a wheel in motion. When done properly, it could generate huge traffic to your site. It may be time consuming preparing articles and creating accounts but it's a proven and tested way to boost your chances on appearing on Search Engine Result Page (SeRP).

The head of a civil rights group says a new promotion system for Mississippi Highway Patrol officers still runs the risk of discriminating against black troopers.
The new system will use the state Personnel Board and troopers from neighboring states to decide promotions, instead of relying on Mississippi troopers grading their own colleagues.
NAACP state president, Derrick Johnson, said Thursday that since then, he's talked to several black troopers who are concerned Department of Public Safety Col. Michael Berthay still will control the final decisions.
Berthay's removal is the No. 1 item on a list of changes recommended by a mostly black group of troopers.
The Mississippi Central State Troopers' Coalition has alleged discrimination in DPS hiring and promotion.

Oops! Kiddie Pool Photoshop Fail Makes Us Uncomfortable (PHOTO)
It's almost time for summer, and a lot of moms are no doubt excited to spend time with their kids in the backyard, goofing around in the kiddie pool.
But this? This is totally not what we were getting at. Check out the mom with the wandering left hand in this packaging for a Cars-themed kiddie pool made by Disney. We're not sure how this disturbing scene passed the proofing phase, but the pool party foul definitely creeps us out. And while we now know, thanks to Reddit user Matenbock, that it was all a big Photoshop misunderstanding, you have to wonder how something that odd could make its way onto the e-commerce websites where he found it.
Of course, retailers like Amazon and eBay quickly realized their mistake, and took down the offending photo. Not soon enough in our opinion. Icky!

Why Read Marx Today?
by Jonathan Wolff
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a most enjoyable primer for reading Marx. In fact due to the often complicated arguments and technical economics involved in studying Marx, I would endeavour to convince the student of Marx to consider as a precursor, a book such as this.
Clear and concise and it asks all the questions both the defender and critic of Marxism that one would expect from such a professional Philosopher like Jonathan Wolff. My first interaction with Wolff was in his similarly excellent primer, "An Introduction to Political Philosophy". This book, honing in on Marx does justice to his reputation as a writer of accessible Philosophy books like Law, Warburton etc.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192805053, Paperback)The fall of the Berlin Wall had enormous symbolic resonance, marking the collapse of Marxist politics and economics. Indeed, Marxist regimes have failed miserably, and with them, it seems, all reason to take the writings of Karl Marx seriously.
Jonathan Wolff argues that if we detach Marx the critic of current society from Marx the prophet of some never-to-be-realized worker's paradise, he remains the most impressive critic we have of liberal, capitalist, bourgeois society. The author shows how Marx's main ideas still shed light on wider concerns about culture and society and he guides the reader through Marx's notoriously difficult writings. Wolff also argues that the value of a great thinker does not depend on his or her views being true, but on other features such as originality, insight, and systematic vision. From this perspective, Marx still richly deserves to be read.
Why Read Marx Today? reinstates Marx as an important critic of current society, and not just a figure of historical interest.

I've really enjoyed the many looks Beyonce Knowles has given us during her stay in Paris.
The Marc Jacobs look still remains my favourite.
On their last day in the city, Jay-Z and Bey took a stroll through the streets of Paris.
It's not like them to show so much affection is public, so I guess they got caught up in the romance of the city.
The singer wore khaki shorts, with a matching top and a denim shirt.
A salmon coloured Isabel Marant Keni leather biker jacket, sunglasses and Christian Louboutin 'Lady Daf' ankle strap pumps completed her look.
Save this pumps, this is an effortless 'strolling through the streets of Paris' look.
