Our distinguished panel bravely attempts to assess the likely impact of Brexit (if and when it ever happens) and whether it is a plus or a minus for London arbitration; what are the broader potential impacts and choices available for dispute resolution, especially from an institutional perspective and considering other arbitral seats; whether parties may opt for arbitration in London rather than litigation before the High Court and where that leaves the development of English commercial law … and should we care?
Registration - 5.45pm
Seminar - 6.15pm

Have you received notice from the IRS that your wages are going to be garnished? Wage garnishment is just one of the actions the IRS can take when you don't pay the taxes you owe. If you find yourself in a position where your wages are about to be garnished, seek assistance from a tax help professional right away!
What Is Wage Garnishment?
Simply put, wage garnishment is when the IRS takes a portion of your wages to pay off your tax debt. If the IRS decides to pursue this course of action, your employer will first be notified of your back tax debt. Your employer will then be required by law to deduct a portion of each of your paychecks to cover this debt, and the money will be sent directly to the IRS.
How to Avoid Wage Garnishment
If you're like most taxpayers, wage garnishment would likely have serious financial consequences for you and your family. Because it reduces your take-home pay, you could find yourself short when it comes time to pay the rent or purchase groceries! In order to avoid that, begin working with a tax resolution specialist as soon as you receive a wage garnishment notice from the IRS. A tax relief specialist will be able to negotiate with the IRS on your behalf and should be able to find an alternative means for you to pay what you owe.
To learn more about your options for dealing with wage garnishment, turn to the pros at Tax Resolution St. Louis We're here to offer you top-notch tax help for a variety of tax issues large and small.

The most unique thing I would say about my campus is the doors of opportunities it offers to all students. These opportunities I believe are different from what most Colleges offer. The Campus constitutes a combination of cultures, ethnicities, and various other subcultures. I found the academic atmosphere most inviting. The Institute is embodied by the students every day is Integrity, Scholarship, Community, Creativity, and Excellence. These core values influence our daily decisions and allow us to enrich our campus. the student organizations further maximize the opportunity to expand social connections, encourage leadership, and make a difference in students' lives. The classroom buildings, dorms, student facilities and the Basketball Court are all within walking distance.
The diversity is in not only students but also Professors who came from a different background with a different style of teachings who make the overall study experience decent. The Library has every book which is needed by the students for the academic also if there is not one available they have a mechanism through which they help with those books. The automation of the library through the website so you can borrow one at any time of the day.
The cultures clubs and Committees of the college are very active as they are planning and engaging us on different activities every day. We have a Club or Committee which is unique to each aspect of a student and the campus. From the dorm to the class one has to hardly walk 2 mins. We have an IT Committee which looks after the overall IT infrastructure as a student of a B-School the internet is a necessity and thanks to the committee it never stops working. The Hostel mess is just a doorstep away from where one can eat from 7 A.M in the Morning to 3 A.M in the Morning. Our campus is unique in a way that it never sleeps, one can see the students are working on something or the other every night. As a diverse campus, we celebrate each and every festival, which makes the campus in a cheerful mood always.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?

I am quite willing to spend money on those things that bring happiness - special meals out, travel to visit family, vacations, pet care, good food, etc. I also like the challenge of saving money as possible without spending oodles of time doing it. Add in some creativity of making do or using research and problem solving skills and I am really enjoying myself LOL.
So some recent successes in shopping savings are to be noted.
- I recently ordered a pair of loafers exactly like the ones I have that are wearing out. I bought them online with free shipping for the same price I had paid a couple of years ago. No driving, no disappointment that stores were out of them plus I get shoes I know will make my feet happy.
- I tried buying a discounted CVS gift card from Gift Card Granny and it worked fine. An 11.2% discount just for waiting a week to have the card after buying it on line. Definitely will do more of this although I am going to wait until after Christmas as I think the discounts will go up from what they are right now as people buy them for holiday shopping.
- The hair salon I use sends out emails when they up their gift cards to a 20% off discount (vs. 10% every day) and then I buy an amount that I am sure I will use up in the 180 day window.
Thank goodness for the internet when it comes to researching and problem solving to save money.
- Recently I needed to either replace the sponge mop on our mop or buy a whole new one. I finally found that a nearby hardware store carried the replacement item I needed at a lower price than I could get it online. We struggled to remove the old one and get the new one on but we did it and given my rate of mopping are set for quite a while.
And in the creative make do category are these not so exciting to anyone else items.
- I lead a Friends of the Library group that has 3 used book/media sales a year as fundraisers. I am always looking at how to sell anything that is donated and for the upcoming sale am going to try selling the good fabric shopping bags that came in with book donations. We needed hang tags to price them and the smallest package would be $5. We also had a huge donation of origami paper that I packaged in plastic bags but a few pieces weren't of sale quality. I cut them, made a single hole and attached a piece of string from the stash of stuff in our basement. Free and they are just as good as bought ones.
- In addition I am going to try making an artist journal. I was going to use painting quality paper that I have but when I looked at my supplies found a stack of old album paper that already had two holes in the side. A piece of old ribbon tied it and now I will have my journal to play with.
What are your recent successes?

These folks called with an offer to reduce the percentage rate on my credit cards. When I asked instead to have my number removed from their list, the woman hung up. Nice.
The phone number is not a typo. It showed on caller ID as a 062 area code, which tipped me initially that it would be a solicitation call.

Rachel Held Evans, Leading Figure on Christian Left, Dies at 37
Rachel Held Evans, a leading figure in progressive Christianity, died Saturday. She was 37.
"This entire experience is surreal. I keep hoping it's a nightmare from which I'll awake. I feel like I'm telling someone else's story. I cannot express how much the support means to me and our kids. To everyone who has prayed, called, texted, driven, flown, given of themselves physically and financially to help ease this burden: Thank you. We are privileged. Rachel's presence in this world was a gift to us all and her work will long survive her," says her husband, Daniel.
Evans was hospitalized last month for an infection. Doctors kept her in a medically induced coma to prevent seizures for weeks.
"Rachel was slowly weaned from the coma medication. Her seizures returned but at a reduced rate. There were periods of time where she didn't have seizures at all. Rachel did not return to an alert state during this process. The hospital team worked to diagnose the primary cause of her seizures and proactively treated for some known possible causes for which diagnostics were not immediately available due to physical limitations," Daniel says on the health update blog.
Early Thursday morning, May 2, Rachel experienced sudden and extreme changes in her vitals. The team at the hospital discovered extensive swelling of her brain and took emergency action to stabilize her. The team worked until Friday afternoon to the best of their ability to save her. This swelling event caused severe damage and ultimately was not survivable," Daniel says.
According to Religion News Service Evans is best known for her popular blog and best-selling books, including New York Times best-seller A Year of Biblical Womanhood, Searching for Sunday and, most recently, Inspired. She also served on President Barack Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
In her books and blog posts, she wrote openly about her faith journey, which led her from Bryan College — a conservative evangelical school known for promoting belief in a literal, six-day creation — to the mainline Episcopal Church. Along the way, she chronicled her faith, doubt, honest questions and evolving beliefs with a sense of humor.
That didn't come without controversy, including pushback from more conservative Christians over "A Year of Biblical Womanhood," which celebrated an egalitarian view of women's roles in both marriage and the church.

January 10, 1988, Section 6, Page 31Buy Reprints
MICHAEL J. FOX HAS BEEN dragged by the collar, thrashing and yelling, down the length of a fashion-show runway and tossed out the door several times. Now, resting between takes on the set of ''Bright Lights, Big City,'' he's sitting in the second-floor foyer of the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan, joking with his real-life bodyguard, who plays the fashion-show bouncer on screen, and talking to Jay McInerney. Suddenly Fox and McInerney look at each other and sing out, as if on cue, ''Spo-o-o-ky!''
By this June afternoon, McInerney's semiautobiographical novel - the witty story of a smart young writer who drifts into a land of clubs and cocaine - has become a star vehicle for Fox, the wholesome heartthrob of teen-age girls. The two were jolted by the eeriness of Michael playing Jay's alter ego at their first meeting a few months ago, when they arrived wearing identical outfits - jeans, Armani jackets, black Reeboks. The spookiness has become an inside joke.
Beyond the doors leading to a huge inner room, an Oscar de la Renta fashion show is being staged with great realism, even though Phoebe Cates, the main model, is improbably short for the role. She is, however just the right height to co-star with the 5-foot-4-inch Fox. Murmuring to each other behind the cameras are an unlikely pair of middle-aged men - James Bridges, the director of such commercial hits as ''Urban Cowboy'' and ''The China Syndrome,'' and Gordon Willis, the eminent cinematographer on Francis Ford Coppola's ''Godfather'' films and many Woody Allen movies. Bridges and Willis are methodical and calm, though they have only recently jumped in to rescue this film and are racing to finish before a threatened strike by the Directors Guild of America.
Nearby, a production assistant wears a T-shirt with a cryptic symbol on it - an old shoe inside a barred red circle. ''There should be a picture of Joyce inside here,'' he says, referring to Joyce Chopra, the director who began shooting the film and was let go a month later. On the set this humid summer day, a workman with a ponytail and a carpenter's belt uses a term for cocaine from McInerney's 1984 novel. ''Take some coffee,'' he tells his tired partner. ''No, take some Bolivian Marching Powder!'' At that moment, all these incongruous players seem like members of some Felliniesque circus camped on Seventh Avenue. But this is just Hollywood's way of turning a best-selling novel into a big commercial film.
The making of ''Bright Lights'' is the tale of a movie cursed by typical Hollywood wheeling and dealing, frightened at the thought of a drug-using hero, faked out by a directors' strike that never came. When the movie finally opens in March, it will have gone through two studios, three directors, five screenwriters and countless detours around the novel. After three frustrating years, the shooting script was written in one week, the movie shot in just six, and ''Bright Lights'' came full circle, emerging as a movie more faithful to the book than McInerney's own first version of the screenplay ever was. ''It was phenomenal,'' Fox said the day shooting was finished. ''The only way we could do it was not to know the impossibility of doing it.''
MICHAEL FOX IS KNOWN as a nice, unpretentious guy, and on the set he works hard to protect that image. He goes out of his way to take a glass of water to a thirsty extra. He offers me a taste from his vial of fake cocaine; it's a prop called milk sugar that, he complains, lingers in your nose so that ''two days later your nose runs milk.'' His good humor seems genuine, but like most famous people with shining reputations, he never forgets when a reporter is in the room. During a lull in the fashion-show filming, his stand-in asks why I'm not taking notes and Fox, apparently involved in another conversation, turns to say, ''Are you kidding? She has 40 pages just on the genealogy of this movie!''
The tangled history of ''Bright Lights'' began long before Fox arrived on the scene, but much of the movie took shape last May, during the 10-day interim between Joyce Chopra's dismissal and Jim Bridges's first day of shooting. One day that week, Fox suggested we meet at the White Horse Tavern in Greenwich Village, where we sat at a grungy back-room table he picked out as Dylan Thomas's. Fox had met Bridges just days earlier, but was impressed by ''Urban Cowboy.'' (No one involved with ''Bright Lights'' mentions Bridges's two latest films -''Mike's Murder'' and ''Perfect,'' both major disasters.) Philosophically, Fox regards the month of shooting with Chopra as ''a rehearsal period, though it wasn't meant to be.'' Jamie Conway - the movie name of the novel's unnamed hero - is still the same character. Trapped in his job as a fact-checker at a New Yorker-style magazine, Jamie responds to his troubles - his fashion-model wife has left him, his mother died a year ago - by snorting coke and staying out all night.
Drug use is just a symptom of his emotional decline. ''He could be a guy working in a coal mine, and his mother dies so he goes to bars and gets drunk,'' Fox said. ''The movie is not a how-to guide to drugs and hip New York or a how-not-to guide. If people are going to cover the kids' eyes and say, 'Ethel, Michael Fox is snorting coke!' there's nothing I can do about it.''
I would hear this line again - from Chopra and Bridges and from the film's producers, Sydney Pollack and Mark Rosenberg. Jamie's downfall implies that drugs are bad, they'd say, but ''Bright Lights'' is not about drugs and clubs.
Two weeks later, on location in a midtown restaurant, Fox sits across from Jason Robards. No one expects to see the ghost of Dylan Thomas at this table, but the shadow of John McMartin may be hovering about. Robards has replaced McMartin as the alcoholic editor who takes Jamie to lunch. Fox and McMartin had filmed a version of this scene with Chopra, but when Bridges arrived he threw out not only Chopra's footage and script, but a half-dozen supporting actors as well.
''Beautiful, that's absolutely beautiful,'' Bridges says after a take he likes. ''I'm happy. What do you all think?'' After the rocky month with Chopra and facing a rough six-day-a-week schedule, the cast and crew have to be kept happy and confident. Bridges, in jeans and rumpled shirts, with his deep, soothing voice, suggests the older brother you turn to in a crisis; he'll find a way out of any problem, without giving you a lecture.
For the six weeks of this shoot, Bridges rises before dawn each day to rewrite his script. Gordon Willis arrives at the hotel at 6 to plan the day's shots. Every evening, the director views the film shot the day before, and on weekends he works on the script with McInerney, who has been called in to help with revisions. (Though the two agreed to share the screenwriters' credit, the Writers Guild of America decided it should go to McInerney alone. Bridges has appealed the ruling.) In this second week of shooting, the cast and crew are still discovering Bridges's equanimity and are still awed by Gordon Willis, whom they point out to me using words like ''brilliant.'' Willis, though, looks as if he'd be happy mowing his suburban New Jersey lawn and mumbles in the heat of the day, ''I hope my wife has the air-conditioner on when I get home.''
Midway through Robards's scenes, McInerney arrives on the set, and when the filming is done Fox plays host. He brings McInerney over to meet Robards, who says he loved the novel and gave it to his son. ''How old is your son?'' McInerney asks.
''Thirty-eight,'' Robards answers with perfect, straight-faced delivery.
Fox and Bridges want McInerney to feel at home here. With only 36 days to shoot this movie, they can use all the advice the author has to give. McInerney drops by the set frequently, and the evening of the restaurant scene, watches a basketball playoff game on television with Fox. The director and star have jumped to remedy a bad situation; McInerney felt distinctly unwelcome on Chopra's set.
By the time Chopra arrived, ''Bright Lights'' had been kicking around Hollywood for two and a half years - not long for most movie properties, but this was the novel that defined hip, early 80's style. When Chopra began filming in April 1987, the age of the couch potato was dawning, the club culture was on the wane and cocaine use had become less openly fashionable. The time-lag problem entered the producers' minds - ''I saw a Village Voice cover asking, 'Is Downtown Dead?' and wanted to throw myself in front of traffic,'' Mark Rosenberg says -then left their minds as quickly. ''No one ever thought of doing it as a period piece. That's boring,'' he says. And anyway, ''Bright Lights'' is not about drugs and clubs.
But the novel's drug-and-club scene made producers uneasy from the start. In 1984, Robert Lawrence, then a 32-year-old vice president at Columbia Pictures, championed the novel against resistance from older executives. ''It was perceived as a rather subversive, unconventional movie,'' Lawrence recalls. But he felt the book spoke to his generation. ''It's our 'Graduate,' with a little bit of 'Lost Weekend' in there,'' was his pitch.
Columbia gave in; Jerry Weintraub, an industry power, agreed to produce. Joel Schumacher, who had made ''St. Elmo's Fire,'' one of the original ''brat pack'' movies, was signed on to direct. McInerney started writing the screenplay; soon afterward, Schumacher started rewriting it.
Tom Cruise, then in his pre-''Top Gun'' days, was offered first refusal on the script, if a good one was ever written. But no one, not even McInerney, could come up with a screenplay that captured the novel's distinctive voice. Listening to traditional Hollywood wisdom, McInerney even moved Jamie's mother's death from the past to the present and invented a flashback scene of Jamie and his future wife picnicking in the Kansas wheat fields. Despite the script's problems, McInerney, Cruise and Schumacher went on a night crawl of New York, soaking up atmosphere. A year later, Jerry Weintraub took along the property when he became chief executive at United Artists. With Weintraub in the executive suite, the film needed a new producer. Sydney Pollack, the Academy Award-winning director, and his partner, Mark Rosenberg, agreed to do ''Bright Lights.'' They hired a writer named Julie Hickson, who turned out another unusable script.
By then, Joel Schumacher says, ''I began to feel as if I had stayed too long at the fair.'' Tom Cruise got tired of waiting. But before Schumacher and Cruise could be replaced, Weintraub left United Artists. ''Bright Lights'' became a pawn as he negotiated a complicated settlement with the studio, and months were lost before it became clear the picture would stay at United Artists. It was late 1986, months after Schumacher thought his ''Bright Lights'' should have been released, and filming had not yet begun.
So United Artists and the producers began again. They thought about filming in Toronto. Perhaps they could cast a talented unknown, someone, Robert Lawrence explains, ''like Charlie Sheen before 'Platoon.' ''
At that point, Joyce Chopra seemed a tony choice to direct. After years of making documentaries, in 1986 she did her first feature, ''Smooth Talk,'' a huge critical success. Her husband, Tom Cole, who had adapted ''Smooth Talk'' from a Joyce Carol Oates story, was hired to write yet another ''Bright Lights'' script. But if Chopra had high-art credentials, she also had a high-powered agent, Peter Benedek, who sent the novel to another of his clients - Michael J. Fox. It was, as Sydney Pollack says, ''a casting coup,'' but one that would eventually boomerang for Chopra.
''People in our company laughed'' when Fox's name first came up, Pollack says. How could the clean-cut Alex Keaton of television's ''Family Ties'' play this coke-snorting rebel? But to the producers, who feared that a mainstream audience might scorn Jamie as a spoiled yuppie, Fox's wholesomeness turned out to be the point.
''There is something in the persona of Michael that makes you care what happens to him, no matter how bad the character is,'' says Pollack. But the instant Michael Fox was cast, ''Bright Lights'' became a different film. This modest project was now a major commercial movie with a top box-office star, a $15 million budget and New York City locations, all in the hands of a director who had done one $2 million independent feature film.
The producers surrounded Chopra with a first-rate crew, many of whom had worked with Sydney Pollack. She took along her ''Smooth Talk'' cinematographer, James Glennon, who had worked for Pollack as a camera operator - a much lowlier position. The scene was set for the divided loyalties that would come. Meanwhile, they faced deadlines. The directors' strike, which threatened every Hollywood production, was predicted to begin early in July. Fox had to be back in Los Angeles on ''Family Ties'' by mid-July. Chopra had 10 weeks to finish her movie, no extensions.
IN THE SECOND WEEK OF filming, Joyce Chopra assembled several hundred extras at New York City's Tunnel club to shoot one of the film's opening scenes - flashing lights, blaring music, dozens of couples in bright-colored costumes on the huge dance floor. The scene looked right, but only on the surface.
The trouble on this set was not apparent in what anyone said or did, but in their reluctance to say much at all. Sydney Pollack and Mark Rosenberg were there, looking grim. Publicity people were ordered to stay at my elbow every minute. No observer was supposed to catch on to what was called ''Joyce's indecision.''
Chopra, at age 50, looks youthful. She is short and soft-voiced, and as she consulted with Glennon he towered over her. Her husband, Tom Cole, was also on the set. And there, some people thought, were two of her problems. The word was that Chopra relied far too much on Glennon and Cole. She would waste an hour on the set discussing one shot with Glennon and she panicked, some said, while shooting on New York streets as 100 teen-age girls shouted, ''Michael! Michael!'' What her critics saw as weakness and indecision, though, Chopra viewed as collaborative film making. She now says, ''I kept insisting that we take time each day to give the actors a chance to find their way, in spite of the panic caused all around us by the morning calls from United Artists asking if I had taken my first shot yet. Working collaboratively with my cameraman seemed to drive the producers into a sort of frenzy.''
''They wanted her to come in like the captain of a ship,'' Tom Cole says, ''and if that's what they wanted, they should have hired somebody else.''
Beyond her methods, studio executives disliked what Chopra and Glennon were shooting. A week into the filming, Anthony Thomopoulos, the chairman of United Artists, and Robert Lawrence, then president of production, flew from Los Angeles to New York. As Pollack later said, with great understatement, ''That's never a good sign.'' Having raced the movie into production to beat the directors' strike, they hadn't read Cole's script - and seen how much it diverged from the novel - until filming was about to begin. If Robert Lawrence saw ''Bright Lights'' as ''The Graduate'' meets ''Lost Weekend,'' Chopra and Cole saw it as the story of a sensitive writer's development.
Jay McInerney, who said about his screenwriting experience, ''I'm not going to turn cocaine into chocolate just so people won't be offended,'' thought Cole ''was writing out all the drugs.'' Cole was doing just that, on the instructions, he said, of Pollack and United Artists: ''There was definitely pressure and concern at that time about how Michael was seen by America.'' And even with Michael Fox bringing his incorruptible James Stewart persona to the film, Pollack had always worried whether audiences would understand the character. ''My question was, will you care about him or is this going to be, finally, just a story about a kid who didn't cry for his mother and so he's a junkie and he cries for his mother and then he's O.K.?''
Rumors flew that Pollack and Chopra were in constant battle. Before long, UA announced that ''a more experienced director'' was needed in view of the imminent strike. ''No matter what the 'official story,' the fact is that I was actually within a day of being on schedule,'' says Chopra. Later, those involved with the project said she had been ''in over her head'' and ''dependent'' on her cinematographer - a different kind of criticism from that aimed at most male directors. But for all the talk about art and sexism and authority, the choice ultimately came down to money. As Thomopoulos later said, ''There was a creative difference of opinion about the direction of the film. We had a strong financial interest in the film and we had to do it the way we saw fit.''
Before Chopra was let go, James Bridges's name showed up on a short list of possible replacements, along with the theater and movie director Ulu Grosbard and the Australian director Bruce Beresford. Bridges later recalled how the deal was cut over a weekend. On a Friday, his agent called him at home in Los Angeles to say ''Bright Lights'' was in trouble. Bridges read the novel that night. He flew to New York on Sunday, saw Chopra's film, and agreed to take on ''Bright Lights'' if he could start from scratch. On Monday, he phoned Gordon Willis.
''When I read the book it clicked,'' Bridges says. ''I had lost my grandmother two years ago, and was at the deathbed with Grandmamma. My mother had a serious operation a couple of weeks later. Had it just been a funny story it wouldn't have mattered, but when it gets to be about life and death and how we deal with it, I caught fire. I was determined to do it.''
John Houseman, Bridges's old friend and mentor, said in his distinct authoritarian tone, ''It was good this came along so quickly. Jim didn't have any time to shilly-shally.''
In seven days, Bridges wrote a new draft of the script, one that looked to the mother's death as the emotional center of the story. He called McInerney back from an international writers' conference in Italy and got rid of six actors, casting instead Jason Robards, John Houseman, Swoozie Kurtz, Frances Sternhagen, Tracy Pollan and Charlie Schlatter, a Michael Fox lookalike who plays Jamie's brother. All the new actors read the novel because there was no script. Bridges kept Kiefer Sutherland as Tad Allagash, Jamie's best friend and worst influence, and Dianne Wiest as Jamie's mother. The producers now had a real captain, though the ship seemed to be sinking.
After two years of tortured scripts, Bridges resorted to elements every screenwriter from McInerney to Cole had tried to avoid: voiceovers, flashbacks, chapter headings typed out on screen. In the final version, Michael Fox snorts coke a half-dozen times. ''I just wanted to do the book,'' Bridges says, though there was no time for fancy variations if he had wanted them, or for the studio to tinker with his work.
When the crew started over, they knew that this time there would be no shoe leather - the movie term for filler, usually shots of people walking down the street. Word went out that Chopra's dailies had been nothing but shoe leather, and the film crew's baseball team adopted as their logo the old shoe in the barred red circle. The no-shoe-leather T-shirt may have been a cruel joke, but it suited the new irreverence of ''Bright Lights.''
Soon Jim Bridges assembled several hundred extras at downtown's Palladium -flashing lights, blaring music, dozens of couples on a huge dance floor. Everyone worked at a breathtaking pace, but no one seemed frenzied, just relieved. As Fox put it, ''We were going to the grave and we didn't want to go kicking and screaming.''
A CRAMPED APARTMENT full of movie lights becomes unbearable on a hot summer day. A living room has been made to look like a downtown loft, and extras are crowded in to film a party scene. ''Bright Lights'' will wrap in two days, one day ahead of schedule, and by now everyone is worn out. Tempers are controlled, but it has been a trying morning. A publicist brought the director Brian De Palma on the set, unannounced and uninvited - a terrible faux pas. Bridges doesn't show his anger to the crew, but he's incensed. Willis seems as calm as ever. ''Do you all have ulcers?'' I ask him. He smiles and says, ''Not me, I'm a carrier.''
Michael Fox sits on the floor in an outer hall, making small talk. He has been in every scene of this film and finally he, too, looks tired. During these last days of shooting he carries around a travel brochure for the Caribbean, where he will be in a few days.
In the big scene today, Jamie will run into his wife with another man, and laugh so hysterically it will be clear that he's close to the edge. Fox's thumb and forefinger are coated with clear chemicals; when he puts his fingers to his nose the chemicals blend, turn red, and Jamie's nose bleeds. It's a tough scene, and at first Fox can't get the laugh out. ''I'm going, 'Basic acting, Michael, push air through your stomach, make your larynx vibrate.' So my brain says, 'I know what to do,' and my body says, 'Tough. I'm not going to do it. I'm too tired.' ''
At lunchtime, Bridges still has to check out the location for the film's final scene - a bakery where Jamie will trade his sunglasses for some bread, watch the sun rise and decide to start his life all over again. This is the ending Bridges, McInerney and Fox like, though they have shot an alternate to please the studio. That one is a Hollywood-happy ending, flashing forward a year; Jamie has just finished writing a novel called ''Bright Lights, Big City,'' and his new girlfriend is standing behind him saying, ''I'm so proud.''
STUDIO EXECUTIVES came around to Bridges's final scene of Jamie at dawn, but even now, it still isn't clear that anyone has agreed on what ''Bright Lights'' is all about.
Jay McInerney, so far, is pleased with the movie's fidelity to his novel. But Andy Fogelson, who as United Artists' president of marketing is in charge of advertising the film, compares ''Bright Lights'' to ''Terms of Endearment.'' It is ''about people,'' he says, promising that you'll see ''Michael J. Fox as you know him and love him, plus.'' Take Alex Keaton from ''Family Ties,'' he explains, ''send him to New York, have his mother die of cancer, have him marry a model -it's the same person.'' The same-only-different concept has to make you wonder if ''Bright Lights'' is out of trouble yet.
Jim Bridges is still tinkering with the editing, and he's thinking of adding an exuberant final frame. Jamie has been following a lurid tabloid story about a pregnant woman in a coma, and the ''Coma Baby'' she's carrying. If Bridges chooses this grace note, the last headline will read ''COMA BABY LIVES!'' - almost as if Bridges and Pollack and McInerney and Fox are shouting with relief that their movie has finally been born.

The hemostasis laboratory has a vital role in the diagnosis and management of patients with familial and acquired haemorrhagic and thrombotic disorders. Its role in the monitoring of traditional anticoagulant therapy, as well as therapy using new anticoagulants, presents new challenges to the laboratory. This new edition addresses these important issues, as well as international guidelines for testing, the development of international standard materials, management of haemostasis testing from the laboratory to the point-of-care, and molecular genetic testing.

text: Fearless is not a word I use to describe myself. However, most of my family and friends would describe me as bold and confident. I am perfectly content keeping to myself and focusing on what I need to do to succeed in life. When it comes to doing something outside of my comfort zone, I immediately talk myself out of it. On the outside, I am perceived as calm, cool and collected, however, on the inside, I am freaking out. I definitely have a Type A personality, so stress comes with the territory. When I learned that I had to complete a ropes course with the other Wesley interns for a trust building exercise, I began to doubt my abilities. I am scared of heights, I have horrible coordination, and I dislike feeling out of control. So basically this exercise seemed like my worst nightmare. The beginning of the ropes course was extremely challenging. I had difficulty trusting the other interns that they would help me across these obstacles. However, as my group completed each obstacle, I became less anxious and more adventurous. I stepped out of my comfort zone and attempted the more advanced or difficult routes to complete the course. By the end of the course, I was completely comfortable with my group and I grew as a person. Even though I was still terrified at some points, I definitely trusted the other girls in my group to either physically help me across the ropes or mentally help me through encouragement. I'm glad I didn't listen to the negative thoughts in my head to quit the course before I even began. This trust exercise helped me get closer to the other interns and I am happy that I can call all of them friends!

Wow! We can't believe how fast the last four months have flown by. As KF27's fellowships draw to a close we asked them to share with us one lesson they learned in the field:
"I have learnt that an office is definitely not the best place to work. Under a mango tree or having a Borrower Verification meeting in the car can also be productive!"
Aradni Liakis | Haiti
"I've learned the value of being disconnected."
Laura Mortara | Colombia
"I've learned that horrible life experiences can't diminish a vocational passion - eyebrow threading! Hanan is an Iraqi refugee in Kentucky whose salon was burned down in Baghdad in 2003. Her upcoming Zip loan will allow her to open a new salon."
Josie Raymond | Louisville, USA
"I've learned how important it is to live the dreams you imagine."
Sara Wilf | San Francisco, USA
"I've learned that Armenians can be wonderfully resourceful!"
Mark McDonagh | Armenia
"I've learnt that strange things become familiar eventually. Whether it's getting used to a new city, hanging out with a new crowd, starting out with a new partner or navigating PA2. It's a simple lesson that bears repeating and I keep telling myself this so that eventually I'll be able to walk out onto my apartment balcony in Jakarta without my knees shaking!"

The Tennessee Conference of the United Methodist Church
Overheard Conversations Through Walls
The Tennessee Conference of the United Methodist Church represents about 600 churches throughout Middle Tennessee from Alabama to Kentucky. Their Nashville office, called the Tennessee Conference Center, houses numerous administrative departments that help the church achieve its mission, including the Conference Council on Connectional Ministries, the United Methodist Foundation, the Office of Administrative Services, and the Office of Leadership and Formation Development.
The office is composed primarily of a mix of private office and conference room space. Although most employees have a private office, the walls and open plenum drop ceilings weren't doing much to prevent sound transmission from office to office, and from conference rooms to offices. The overheard speech noise was distracting employees who were trying to concentrate on individual tasks. Employees were also concerned that their meetings and conversations could easily be overheard causing speech privacy concerns.
Jim Allen, the Treasurer/Director for the conference, began to search for a solution. First efforts were directed toward material changes, with additional ceiling insulation and sound buffers, but these solutions were cost-prohibitive. That led to an online search for a technological solution to the problem. Searches for office white noise machines led him to sound masking solutions from Cambridge Sound Management. More sophisticated than white noise, Cambridge Sound Management's sound masking solutions emit a gentle, airflow-like sound into an environment through speakers installed in the ceiling. The sound is specifically engineered to cover up the sound of human speech, making it less intelligible and thus more private. After requesting a quote online, sound masking experts from Cambridge Sound Management connected Allen with Prodigy, one of their integration partners in the Nashville area. Prodigy provided Allen with a live demonstration of QtPro sound masking solution in their office. Impressed with the results, Allen moved forward with having sound masking installed in their office space.
QtPro® Sound Masking System
Prodigy installed QtPro sound masking from Cambridge Sound Management, the world's leading provider of sound masking solutions, throughout the office space. Small, barely visible Qt® Emitters (loudspeakers) were mounted in the office's open acoustical tile ceiling as well as hallway drywall ceilings. The emitters were connected by cables to a Qt 300 control module residing in the server room, which provides easily adjustable levels to multiple zones.
Fewer Overheard Conversations
The Tennessee Conference Center is now more functional, productive, and acoustically comfortable, and employees are pleased with the office's transformation. "Persons in private offices no longer complain to me of distracting conversations from adjoining spaces. That made me happy!" says Allen. "Also, I like that the masking level can be adjusted in different zones for different types of spaces (offices, hallways, and conference rooms). Sound masking from Cambridge Sound Management definitely made our office feel more comfortable and private."

After Obamageddon: Reflections on the Rise of Right-Wing 'Doomsday' Prepping in 21st Century America
Colloquium | November 12 | 4-5:30 p.m. | Shorb House, Latinx Research Center
2547 Channing Way, Berkeley, CA 94720
Michael Mills, Lecturer in Criminology, School of Social Policy, Sociology, and Social Research, University of Kent
Center for Right-Wing Studies, Center for Ethnographic Research
This talk draws on a sustained ethnography of American 'Doomsday' prepping. Drawing on fieldwork taking place in 2014 and 2018, it pays particular attention to the political dimensions of doomsday prepping culture, including the political discontents that many preppers identify as energizing their activities (under both Obama and Trump). The talk will highlight ways in which the fears of many American preppers align with relatively mainstream right-wing politics (rather than more fringe perspectives with which prepping tends to be associated in much academic and popular commentary). That said, it will also contend that prepping's status as a 'mainstream' phenomenon is dependent on a continually shifting right-wing mainstream that increasingly embraces Far and Extreme Right thinking. It will conclude by offering some thoughts as to how prepping culture may change in the future specifically as the USA heads into (and beyond) the 2020 election.
