Pro bike: Joachim Parbo's KCH-Leopard Cycles JPX Prototype
By James Huang
Stiffer and nimbler chassis for the Danish national champion
Danish national cyclo-cross champion Joachim Parbo (KCH-Leopard Cycles) has been sponsored for the past few years by Leopard Cycles and the cooperation has now yielded a prototype signature model for the 2010-11 season called the JPX.
Parbo says one of the biggest differences from his old CX-1 is the beefed-up front end. Though the steerer is still 1 1/8" in diameter from top to bottom instead of the increasingly popular tapered format, the legs and crown are much bigger for more precise handling and better braking. That extra material has also brought along with it a few extra grams but given his 1.89m height and 78kg weight, Parbo says he's happy with the trade-off.
Geometry has also changed significantly with the chain stays shortened by a substantial 15mm – from 440mm to a more reasonable 425mm – making for a nimbler overall feel that's better suited to tight corners and quick transitions.
Major components haven't changed much from last year with SRAM still providing its Force transmission and DoubleTap levers, Zipp and Challenge providing the rolling stock, and stopping duties handled by TRP's ultralight EuroX Carbon cantilevers. Gone are the matching Force carbon cranks, though, in favor of CNC-machined aluminum Rotor 3D arms and matching elliptical Q-Rings.
According to Parbo, the move to Q-Rings came right before the start of the season so he's still getting used to them but he was immediately happy with the increased ankle clearance afforded by the narrower and less bowed arms as well as the stiffness provided by the clever hollow-drilled construction.
Cockpit components have also switched for the new season. Up front, Parbo is now using Zipp's newly introduced Service Course SL aluminum bar and stem in place of his old Selcof gear while a Truvativ Stylo Team alloy post stands in for the equivalent Service Course SL piece as there's currently no zero-offset model available.
Lastly, there's a pedal swap to Exustar's latest E-PM215 model. Though not quite as fancy looking as the cast titanium model Parbo used last year, the tidy forged aluminum bodies still keep the claimed weight to just 143g each.
Parbo has made his career on the racecourse but back at home in Denmark, he adopts a decidedly slower outlook as a part-time 'bicycle path inspector' for the city of Arhus. Among the job responsibilities are surveying the 560km (350mi) of paved paths, reporting any damage, and generally acting as an ambassador for the fellow commuters he encounters, offering up riding and bike maintenance tips.
Sound like a dream job? Parbo seems to think so.
"I have to oversee 350 miles of bike paths and other infrastructure so I have a lot of ground to cover," he told us just a few hours before leaving the US to head back to Europe. "I can actually train while I'm working!"
Exustar's E-PM215 pedals use forged aluminum bodies and are claimed to weigh just 143g each.
Parbo takes the role quite seriously, though, using his extensive travels to bolster his job qualifications and also giving presentations in host towns and cities on what can be done to improve infrastructure and attitudes for commuting by bicycle.
"It makes it totally more interesting to go out training and see the differences between different areas in the US," he said. "Even when I'm traveling in Europe I look at the different solutions that are made. I guess it takes my mind off of racing which is a good thing but also it gives me an opportunity to talk to people who are engaged in the bike infrastructure so I can learn more about my job."
Parbo even entertains the possibility of transitioning to that role full-time once he retires from racing.
"It would be easy to go [to Arhus] and stay there," he said. "I'm pretty well qualified and public service employees in Denmark are pretty secure. In that sense it could be tempting but on the other hand I might miss racing and traveling. Right now I'm mixing all of them – the urban planning, the bike racing, and even some marketing."

How to Turn into Your Mother
It's Friday night — nice out, too. Every other college student is probably out and about — partying, preparing for the next football game, or even just hanging out.
I'm standing in the middle of my kitchen, making brownies, dancing to music I wouldn't tell anyone I actually listen to, realizing that I'm turning into my mother.
Not that this is a bad thing, but it's a startling realization to come by. When you're growing up, people always tell you that this is going to happen, but you just brush it off and laugh. You say there's no way you could ever turn out like that!
..of course, this is when you are younger and haven't come to the realization that sometimes, parents do actually know best.
My mom always said I'd figure that out one day. I'm not sure if I'm still in denial or not, but I'm probably coming around to her sense of reasoning. It's proven, given the plans I have tonight.
My mom bakes. Every weekend, you can find her in the kitchen whipping up some new treat while listening to music from her iPhone.
Sometimes, the mood will find her in the middle of the week and she'll sit in the living room, where the noise of the beaters won't wake my night-working father, as she stirs up ingredients in the middle of the floor.
Tonight, I was in a the baking mood. I quickly turned into the grocery store and picked up some ingredients for my grandmother's special brownie recipe. When I got home, I got everything out and started whipping it together.
Exact measuring? Nah, what's the fun in that? Let's throw in some cinnamon sugar just to see what happens.
Ed Sheeran and David Guetta? Yes. We could also threw some Taylor Swift in there, but that's not the point, because her new songs are really catchy.
Now, I'm dancing around this kitchen to Titanium when I'm hit with a sense of deja-vu. Nothing I could ever do would be more like my mother in this particular moment.
Except, my mom usually lets me and my siblings lick the beaters clean and I just hogged everything to myself tonight.
It's strange to sit down and think that I'm growing up to be like my parents. We all want to grow into our own skin. We want to prove our individuality. We want to grow up and rule the world. We want to do something different and make everyone proud.
But being like your parents isn't really something you can escape. Everyone is made up of those two people. Everyone has traits from both parents. What they have to realize is that is what makes them special. You are yourself, but you're also bits and pieces of the people who raised you. And that doesn't particularly mean your birth parents.
Sometimes people don't have the option of growing up with their real parents, but that doesn't mean they don't have family. And bits and pieces of everyone that has touched their lives are left behind in them.
I don't see this as a bad thing. It just means that when the people you love are gone from this world, there are still little things left behind, in you and me.
Whether it's your parents, or siblings, or significant other: something will be left behind. Something will wear off on you. Maybe it will be a love for prancing around the kitchen, making brownies, while singing at the top of your lungs or maybe it will be something else.
I used to think growing up to be like either of my parents a bad thing. But now I see it as an honor. I will proudly stand up for what I believe in like my mother. I will refuse to be stepped on or ignored, just like my father taught me. I will spend Friday nights curled up with a book or watching a TV show; because that's something I love just like the rest of my family.
Being in college thrusts you into a world where your family isn't around as often. That wasn't something I was particularly prepared for. I don't think anyone is prepared for it really. But it's truly okay. Because you meet new people, and you find new family; not people who replace the old ones, but people who join them and love you just as much.
And, in the end, you still have the people who are waiting for you back home. You have them in the way you talk, the way you act, and in the things you believe in. And maybe, just maybe, you have them in the way you bake brownies.

Motion to Urge Government to Establish a National Portrait GalleryPublished on 7 February 2017 Hansard and Statements by Senator Serge Joyal (retired)
Hon. Serge Joyal:
Honourable senators, I know it's late, and I will try to summarize my arguments in relation to this proposal.
This proposal, essentially, is to ask the government to realize a project that has been in the mill for the last 20 years, which is a National Portrait Gallery in the former building of the American Embassy, directly in front of Parliament Hill.
Let me remind honourable senator of some historical elements in relation to that building. That building was vacated 20 years ago, when the American government decided that they needed additional space. They built new premises on Sussex Drive in the vicinity of the Chateau Laurier.
The original building was bought by the National Capital Commission and is included in the buildings of the Parliamentary Precinct, but it has stayed vacant for 20 years, not only that building but the two plots of land that stand empty on both sides of the building.
In 1998, the former Senator Grafstein, the late Senator Lynch-Staunton, and the former Senator Meighan and I were walking on the hill and we said, "What a tremendous spot it is for Canadians to benefit from a location that is, in fact, the most prime location in the land, in front of Parliament." What is a better location to house a portrait gallery?
Senator Lynch-Staunton, who happened to be Vice-Chair of the Executive Committee of the City of Montreal, who I had known through his family, especially his father, was very much involved in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, asked, "Yes, but do we have portraits in Canada to hang there?"
We enquired about that and we got a report from the National Archives of Canada. The National Archives — not the National Gallery, the National Archives of Canada — has been collecting portraits for the last 100 years. They own 20,000 paintings, representing portraits from the 1690s to today, including miniatures, drawings and prints and over 4 million photographs and thousands of caricatures. Can you imagine the amount of artwork that there is there? All that is kept and protected in a vault in a warehouse, a very modern warehouse in Gatineau. But nobody gets to see them. Some of those items have been piled there for a century and more.
When I said that to Senator Lynch-Stauton and Senator Grafstein, we said, "What do we do with that?" We went to see the Prime Minister of the day, Mr. Chrétien, and we said, "Listen, this is a project that is important. It goes across the house in this chamber. It's not a Liberal project; it's not a Tory project. It's a Canadian project because it will help Canadians understand one another, link to one another, to appreciate better the diversity of Canada, to see how, from generation to generation, various groups of explorers, fur traders, farmers, business persons, teachers, professors, Aboriginal peoples, European colonizers, all those peoples that have made Canada from one generation to generation, whose portraits sit in that warehouse, will be available and will be part of a network of exchange all across the land with all those museums in Canada in each and every province."
As Senator Marshall will know, at Memorial University, they have a collection of portraits that nobody sees, really, because, after a while, when you don't tell the story of those people, the story is lost, and you lose interest in knowing your history.
So what do we have this year? This year is the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Confederation. What did they do in 1967 to mark the anniversary of Canada, the centennial, with a legacy? I insist on that. We will have, on July 1, a picnic, firecrackers throughout the land. Thousands and thousands of Canadians will celebrate, but, when it is over, when the grass is clean, we will all have a memory of that but we won't have better instruments to appreciate the diversity of our history and the diversity of the peoples who make Canada.
In 1967, the National Arts Centre was built not far from here. Why? To give an opportunity to all of the Canadian artists to have a place to show off their talent in the capital and then to radiate across the land, to expand and reveal their talents across the land.
In the centennial year, they also built a flame, the Centennial Flame. That didn't exist before 1967. Each morning, when I drive my car or walk up to Parliament Hill, I see all of the people gathering around the flame, taking their pictures there. This is a legacy of 1967.
Honourable senators may ask: Will Canadians visit the portrait gallery? I checked what happened in Britain, in the United States and in Australia. In Britain, they have a portrait gallery in London. It's beside the National Gallery. I checked their attendance. I have all the figures of the attendance at the gallery since 1980.
The portrait gallery is the tenth-most visited site in London. They received 2,200,000 visitors in 2015. Do you know how many visitors went to see their Houses of Parliament? I will ask the question to Senator Tkachuk. Less than a million.
In other words, people are more attracted to see various heads and heroes and ordinary citizens that have helped to make the fabric of Britain than to see their members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords debating.
So I feel that we have a prime location in front of Parliament, where buses drop hundreds and hundreds of visitors each month to visit our Parliament, and they would only have to cross Wellington Street to see the many faces of Canadians and immigrants who came to build Canada, the Chinese community, the Italian community, the Greek community, those who sought refuge in Canada through the war, the Armenians. Today Senator Gold mentioned the Jewish people and the role that Canada played in the Holocaust and so on. That will be revealed there, with the portraits of those Canadians.
Honourable senators, this is a project that was announced by the government in 2003. The model was unveiled in 2005. The cost, at that time, was $44 million; $10 million was already engaged in the building of it. The project was stopped in 2006-07 for re-assessment, and the government decided to that a better location for the gallery would be the Encana Tower in Calgary, on the ground floor. The promoter of Encana wanted to have some prestigious tenant, and they offered to house the portrait gallery.
Unfortunately, there was no budget for that. They were only offering the site. The government would have had to build the walls, all the fixtures and everything for operating the gallery, plus the added costs of, on average, $2.5 million a year to move the portraits, each time there was an exhibition, from the warehouse in Gatineau to Calgary. So the project collapsed.
Then the Public Works Department proposed to offer the chance to show the portraits in various cities throughout Canada — Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver — if those cities would take it upon themselves to build the location. Hence, the same question: Who is going to pay for the building, and who is going to pay for the travel costs of everything?
So the project finally collapsed in 2009. The building has been sitting empty since then, across the street. Each day you pass in front of it, it's a "ghost building" on one of the prime locations where Canadians could learn about one another.
Honourable senators, I was reading the paper last week when Statistics Canada revealed the diversification of our population in the years to come. To quote the report:
Immigrants and second-generation individuals combined, who represented 38.2% of Canada's population in 2011, could account for nearly one in two people (between 44.2% and 49.7%) in 2036.
In less than 20 years, Canada's population will have changed drastically. Who is going to tell the new Canadians who we have been and who we are? Who will tell them how we have built this country and who has been contributing, from the Aboriginal people to the Syrian refugees we welcomed last year? Who will tell them how we have of been approaching our capacity to determine a way of living together to count on the contribution of each and every Canadian?
A portrait gallery is not only testimony to the heroes; a portrait gallery is testimony to ordinary people — people in their daily lives — farmers, businesspeople, workers and the 3,000 nurses who, during the war, helped Canadian soldiers to fight on the battlefields of Europe. That story doesn't exist. You can't see it anywhere. The fight that the women had to get the right to vote — not only at the federal level, at the provincial level — is a fight that lasted almost 50 years.
This is what new Canadians have to learn: That this country has been built by the involvement of each and every Canadian. That is what they will see across the street in that building.
Honourable senators, I think there is money. You read the news same way as me. The government had $13 million in unspent money last year from all of the infrastructure and building projects that were not used; they had to return it. We asked that question of the Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs today. Of course, there is a special budget for the sesquicentennial celebration — $210 million. Think twice about what we are going to spend $210 million on but we won't spend 20 per cent of that budget on a legacy that will benefit the future generation. That's essentially the question that I'm leaving with you with that project.
That's why I put that proposal on the table today, because we have to think of the legacy that we're going to leave to Canadians for future generations, generations that will be so diversified and different from what we have been. But they'll have to know that what they are going to build as a society is on the shoulders of those generations, and that they will have the opportunity to better understand and know.
Honourable senators, again, this motion is not a government motion; it's not an opposition motion. It's a motion of the Senate. I'm very happy to count on the support of all of you in support of Senator Black, who has been with me and other senators promoting that with Senator Bovey, a former director of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and with Senator Frum from Toronto, whose family has always been involved in the support of art in Canada. We think that it's by learning our history that we bind our country together.
There is no better history than the people's history. A portrait gallery is a people institution. It's not an institution only for celebrities and stars; it's a people's institution. That's why those figures of attendance in Britain, in Washington where there's a portrait gallery beside the Smithsonian and the national gallery and in Canberra, Australia — those institutions are so well attended because people recognize themselves in those institutions. Ordinary citizens go there to see figures and real people.
This is why I think we have a very good opportunity now to support that proposal and ask the Minister of Heritage and the government to revive that project that this Senate was the first to promote 20 years ago.
With all of that, senators, I think we could mark the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary with a legacy the likes of which we will all be proud.
Thank you, honourable senators.
Some Hon. Senators: Hear, hear!

I've been using Clarisonic for two years now, basically ever since I first got my hands on the Mia2 and did a review and demo here. I change the brush heads frequently, but the device itself hasn't given me any issues. If I don't use my Clarisonic for a few days I begin to notice little blemishes and my skin just doesn't feel as smooth as it normally does.
When I got my hands on the latest Clarisonic Sonic Radiance Brightening Solution, I was super excited to retire my older device and began using this one right away, and I am SO happy that I did.
The entire package includes:
- Aria facial cleansing device, charger + stand
- Radiance brush head
- Skin Illuminating Cleanser
- Skin Renewing Peel Wash
- Brightening Activator Serum
If you're looking for a demo on how to use a Clarisonic device, check out this video.
While both devices have worked wonders on my skin, the main difference I've found between the two is that the Mia2 is a good start for cleansing using something other than your hands; it actively helps reduce blemishes and unnaturally dry/oily areas of your face. The Sonic Radiance Solution, however, makes your skin brighter and more even by removing dark and dull spots.
Since this Solution comes with many different products, it is recommended that every morning you use the Skin Illuminating Cleanser and follow with the Brightening Activator Serum. Before bedtime you should use the Skin Renewing Peel Wash and follow that with the Brightening Activator Serum again.
Skin Illuminating Cleanser: This lightly scented, foaming cleanser milk immediately makes your skin feel softer after washing it off. I would be the first one to say that I haven't been a huge fan of some of the Clarisonic cleansers, but this one is truly impressive. It's creamy, non-sticky and very gently lathers and soothes your face.
Skin Renewing Peel Wash: You know when you use a product and you get this tingly sensation but in a good way? That's what this does but it is most likely because it exfoliates the dead skin cells and brings life back to the surface of your skin! I don't use this every night as I find it slightly harsh on my skin but I really do like the gel texture.
Brightening Activator Serum: I absolutely love this moisturizer! Your skin may feel a bit dry after using either of the items above but the serum really does help fix that and complements the cleanser and peel wash well. You only need a little each time you use it, as it goes a long way. It's a very light consistency and while serums tend to be a bit oily, this one is a perfect balance and doesn't make you feel like you are putting too much product on your face.
I had the opportunity to speak to Clarisonic Canada's National Business Development/Retail Education Manager, Mala Seecharan, about the new Sonic Radiance Solution. Check out the Q&A!
Me: How does the Clarisonic Sonic Radiance Brightening Solution work to prevent or fix skin damage from sun exposure?
Mala: Through Sonic Oscillation Technology (Clarisonic's patented sonic cleansing technology), the new Sonic Radiance Brush Head and combined with active ingredients in the products such as Salicylic Acid and Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract in the AM Skin Illuminating Cleanser and Gycolic/Salicylic and LHA in the Skin Renewing Peel Wash PM cleanser –all brighten and even skin tone, slows down excess melanin and exfoliates existing pigment clusters at the skin's surface.
Me: Why is it important to use a serum and how often should you apply it?
Mala: The Brightening Activator Serum is clinically proven to help combat dark spots and age spots and acne-induced discoloration, and correct dullness to boost skin radiance! The Serum should be used twice daily after cleansing – combine with SPF and your favourite moisturizer!
Me: What are the advantages of a milk-based cleanser versus oil or foam?
Mala: There are no 'advantages' per se; it's all about the ingredients and choosing the right cleanser for the right skin type. Milk, oil, foam – are all preferences of the individual – choose what you enjoy!
Me: When can people start to see results from using the Clarisonic Sonic Radiance Brightening Solution?
Mala: After the first use, they will see there is definite brightening! Clinical studies show 10X brighter/clearer skin in just two weeks – all products have to be used in combination with the Sonic radiance Brush Head and Clarisonic cleansing products.
Let me know if you end up trying the Sonic Radiance Solution - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

LA's Overjoy is a duo whose music has "that certain something," but we can't put our finger on it. The trio has debuted that talent on their first ever EP release, Breakfast, showcasing such musical awareness, out today via the iconic house outlet Sweat It Out music. Made up of singer Lex Famous and producers Métty and Hoff, Overjoy is officially a triple threat, making music that has a special synergy to it. By incorporating vocals of their own and all sorts of style into their music – house, pop, synth and world music – they've proven so far that they're able to make their music extra attractive from its high level of intangible nostalgia.
Breakfast is comprised of two tracks - each with their own personality but both giving us an idea of what we can expect from Overjoy moving forward. "Love For Breakfast" is a catchy, understated nu disco tune with an attractive bassline supporting Famous' chill, retro R&B vocals. "Airport Song" has a bit more melancholy to it, a slower tempo but just as an infectious sultry vocal.
Overjoy has joined us to celebrate the release of Breakfast with a mixtape. Check it out via our Soundcloud page.

- I use coconut oil, a high quality and naturally saturated oil that doesn't change its chemical makeup under heat. This means that it is safe to heat up and eat! Highly processed, inflammatory oils like canola, soy, corn, peanut, vegetable, sunflower, safflower, rapeseed, grapeseed, etc…are very unstable when heated and can cause a ton of problems for the body. Not to mention the way they are processed is kind of scary so I stay AWAY from them. The only oils/fats that are safe to cook with are naturally saturated oils like grass-fed/pasture-raised butter & ghee, red palm oil, coconut oil, and lard reserved from grass-fed/pastured meats like bacon. I would like to stress here that the grass-fed/pasture-raised part is KEY! Fat from animals who graze on grass and insects on a pasture have very healthy fats for us to eat! Animals that are conventionally grown and fed soy, corn, and other grains that there bodies don't know how to digest, have highly inflammatory fats.
- This recipe uses high quality proteins like pastured eggs and turkey. Protein is vital for muscle repair and weight-loss.
- Avocado is one of the healthiest fats you can eat! They are also high in fiber, heart healthy fats, and more potassium than a banana!
- ALL of the ingredients are REAL FOOD and can be eaten on the PALEO diet.
INGREDIENTS (4-6 servings):
1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 lb. Pasture Raised Ground Turkey (http://www.grasslandbeef.com/StoreFront.bok)
1 Jalapeno Pepper, sliced thin
1 Organic Red Bell Pepper, coarsely chopped (MUST be organic because it's on the Dirty Dozen List)
1 Onion, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
2-3 handfuls fresh organic baby spinach
8 Pasture Raises Eggs, beaten
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
1-2 Avocados
Fresh Cilantro
In a large pan, heat coconut oil and then brown the turkey. Drain any excess water. Add the jalapeno pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook until they just start to soften, but don't over cook! You don't want your veggies to be mushy. Add the spinach and cook until it is just wilted. Add the eggs with sea salt and pepper to taste, and stir frequently while cooking so the eggs stay fluffy. Serve hot or cold with half an avocado and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

Start the conversation
Or to contact Money Morning Customer Service, click here.
Starting Tuesday, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG, GOOGL) will host the first of seven meetings to debate a controversial Internet privacy law imposed by the European Union.
The move is the company's latest stroke of genius, but this time, Google's not crafting a futuristic new product. It's finding a way to deliver the perfect balance between privacy and freedom of information to users.
Click to Enlarge
In early May, an EU court said that individual European citizens have the right to demand that Google remove their personal data from Internet search results. The ruling has come to be known as the "right to be forgotten" law.
In response, GOOG launched a service in late May that allows citizens to apply for data removal, but it's proven an extremely burdensome task for the company.
You see, Google currently processes more than 90% of all web searches in Europe. The day it launched the service, the company received more than 12,000 data removal requests – or 20 requests per minute. By July, Google had received a staggering 90,000 requests.
The company must evaluate each request to determine whether the information in question is "irrelevant, outdated, or otherwise inappropriate." It must verify the authenticity of the person making the request via photo or other ID. And, most problematically, Google must weigh the removal against the public's right to know the information.
So far, Google has granted more than half the applicant requests.
But the system leaves GOOG in the awkward – and powerful – position of Internet censorship. It's a controversial responsibility that neither Google nor the backers of the "right to be forgotten" law want the company to take part in.
And that's precisely why the company is holding meetings across Europe starting this week…

Ancient secrets cannot remain buried forever.
Founded two centuries ago by a powerful tribe of Gottwa Indians, Rowan was a quiet town, so quiet that I fled after graduation. Staying away was the plan, but Mom died suddenly.
Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient graves in our backyard, which happens to be the town cemetery. Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals.
As we made preparations for Mom's burial, new people began arriving in Rowan, unnervingly handsome and odd people. I begged them to leave, but they stayed, because their enemies—my ancestors—were beginning to awaken.- Goodreads
*Short Review*
It has been a really long time since a read a book where the protagonist, the main character lacked so much common sense and backbone that I had to reread a page to make sure I read correctly.
I truly apologize if that comes off harsh, but Cat wasn't the brightest tool in the box. She was constantly walked over and she really didn't know how to keep her mouth shut. How are going to tell the man you don't trust everything you know and then make out with him but continue to say I don't trust you?!?!?
Also my biggest issue, how dare you belittle your mother's beliefs as if they were fairy tales? What type of person or daughter specifically would do that to someone they love; someone who keeps the house running, your father taken care of and a business up and running. I was pissed by the whole narrative.
Cat was not a likeable character and the author tried to do so much weaving that at times some things like got lost. The pace was alright but I was so turned off by Cat, I just stopped.

Pathfinder Adventure Path: The Twilight Child (War for the Crown 3 of 6)
The Worst in Others
Dark shadows haunt the trade city of Yanmass, spreading chaos even as the city's leaders debate which royal heir to support in the growing civil war. Their soldiers are vanishing, bandits attack without fear, and a mysterious plague of nightmares rattles the populace—are these troubles random, or part of a larger conspiracy?

Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Nidal, Land of Shadows
A Land Chained in Shadow
Ten thousand years ago, faced with extinction, the terrified leaders of Nidal heard whispers in their minds—promises of salvation for their nation if only they'd submit their people's bodies and souls to perpetual servitude. Those leaders' assent transformed them into conduits for Zon-Kuthon, the god of envy and pain, and has sealed Nidal's fate to this day.

Lake darner (Aeshna eremita) is the largest mosaic darner (genus Aeshna) in North America. It is a late-season dragonfly, flying to the end of September. It is found throughout Canada, the northern United States, and the Rocky Mountains. In Minnesota it is fairly common in the northern third of the state.
The adult hunts mostly during the day but also sometimes at dusk. It is a strong flier but does not hover during flight. When hunting it cruises above the water surface with its abdomen slightly arched. It often feeds in swarms, sometimes in great numbers, often with other dragonfly species. It often perches vertically on tree trunks, rarely on the ground.
There are at least ten blue darner dragonfly species found in Minnesota and they are notoriously difficult to tell apart in the field. Lake darner is distinguished by its large size, the first lateral thoracic stripe that is deeply notched and has a dot in the notch, and a black line through the upper face.

What is threatening, unwanted or inappropriate behaviour?
Have you or someone you know been experiencing or have experienced unwanted, threatening or inappropriate behaviour?
Have you seen someone experiencing unwanted, threatening or inappropriate behaviour, including bullying?
Unwanted, threatening or inappropriate behaviour is not OK. It's not OK to behave this way. It's not OK to be treated this way.
What is unlawful behaviour?
Unlawful behaviour includes:
Sexual assault
Sexual Assault is a general term used to describe a broad range of sexual crimes committed against a person.
These crimes include sexual intercourse without consent, aggravated sexual assault, indecent assault and acts of indecency (these offences generally involve inappropriate touching, including genitals or other intimate areas or forcing a person to touch the genitals or intimate areas of another person). An offence is aggravated if there is a threat, whether actual or implied, or it is done in the company of other people, or is committed upon a person under a certain age or under authority of a person (teacher/relative/carer) or involves the use of a weapon, force or threat. Sexual Assault is a crime of violence. It aims to humiliate and degrade the victim and can occur within marriage. It can be a frightening experience that may have long term effects. These effects occur regardless of a person's age, gender, status, culture, ability or sexuality.
Other unlawful conduct of a sexual nature includes:
Indecent assault is touching (or the threat to touch) a person's body in a sexual manner without their consent by another person. For example it can include unwanted touching of a person's breast, bottom or genitals.
Act of Indecency is when a person does something of a sexual nature with or towards another person or makes the person do something of a sexual nature towards them. For example, it can include the offender masturbating in front of another person.
See the Victims Services' commonly used legal terms.
More information about adult sexual assault is available from NSW Police Force Community Issues.
Sexual assault occurs when someone is unable to and/or does not give consent.
The law says that a person is unable to give consent when:
- asleep or unconscious
- significantly intoxicated or affected by drugs
- unable to understand what they are consenting to due to their age or intellectual capacity
- intimidated, coerced or threatened
- unlawfully detained or held against their will
- they submit due to the person being in a position of trust.
Sometimes people say NO to having sex in a non-verbal way, like:
- not being enthusiastic about what is happening
- lying really still, not talking, not looking at you or participating in touching
- turning, moving or looking away
- crying, being upset.
Sometimes people are considered unable to give consent even if they say 'yes'. For example, when the person is:
- drug or alcohol affected
- asleep, unconscious or semi-conscious
- being threatened, constrained, made to, pressured to, or forced to have sex (This can include fear of being hurt, or hurting the other person's feelings, if they don't have sex.)
- tricked or deceived (agreed to one sexual act that turned into something they didn't agree to)
- not understanding what they said 'yes' to
- thinking that they cannot say 'no'
- under aged — in NSW, it is unlawful to have sex with anyone under 16 years old — even if they say yes to having sex. See more about this at Lawstuff Australia — know your rights.
Consent is given when a person freely and voluntarily agrees to sexual intercourse.
When you give your consent to have sex with someone it means that you feel entirely comfortable having sex or engaging in other sexual acts with that person. Consent can be:
- verbal — saying yes, okay, let's do it
- physical — nodding your head, touching, kissing, actively participating
- emotional — it is not always as straight forward as someone explicitly saying yes.
Or, 'NO' can be meant when someone says, 'I'm not sure', 'I don't really want to', 'Not right now', or 'I don't like it'.
The best way to be sure if someone consents to sexual intercourse with you is to ASK!
Then, during sexual intercourse, ask your partner, 'Are you ok?', 'Do you want to keep going?' or 'Are you comfortable?'
Still unsure about what 'consent' means?

Sexual harassment and discrimination
Sexual Harassment as defined in Section 28A of the Sex Discrimination Act is " . . . a person sexually harasses another person (the "person harassed") if:
- the person makes an unwelcome sexual advance, or an unwelcome request for sexual favours, to the person harassed
- engages in other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature in relation to the person harassed
- in circumstances in which a reasonable person, having regard to all the circumstances would have anticipated that the person harassed would be offended, humiliated or intimidated.
The following are some general characteristics of sexual harassment:
- it often occurs at times and places where witnesses are not likely to be present
- the effect of sexual harassment may be the same whether the conduct was intentional or unintentional
- behaviour of a sexual nature that is acceptable outside the work/study place may not be appropriate and may constitute sexual harassment in the work context
- what constitutes sexual harassment to one person may be acceptable and inoffensive to another. Different social or cultural backgrounds may lead people to perceive the same conduct differently
- sexual harassment can affect anyone regardless of gender or sexual preference.
Examples of harassment may include:
- comments, insinuations and questions about another person's sexual conduct and private life
- intimidating or demeaning sexist comments
- teasing or taunting with sexual innuendo and/or talk about sex which causes offence
- sexual jokes, offensive telephone calls, offensive mail or electronic messages sent by fax or email
- displays of obscene or pornographic photos/calendars, pictures, posters or objects
- leering, wolf whistles, catcalls, obscene gestures
- physical contact such as patting, pinching or touching, fondling, kissing or embracing someone against their will
- any unnecessary familiarity or unnecessary close physical proximity
- persistent unwelcome invitations
- actual molestation
- sexual assault and rape (criminal offences to be reported to the police).
Sexual harassment may occur:
- as a single incident or a series of incidents
- among peers or co-workers, and in subordinate-supervisor, supervisor-subordinate, staff-staff or staff-student, student-staff, student-student situations.
Sexual harassment between staff and students
Whilst personal relationships of staff and students are not the business of the University, it does have a responsibility for any sexual harassment occurring in the University environment. Behaviour which arises from discrimination against individuals constitutes harassment when it:
- implicitly or explicitly becomes a condition of a person's admission to or recruitment by the University, or selection into courses
- implicitly or explicitly becomes a condition for decisions which bear on a person's academic evaluation or level and condition of appointment, promotion, salary or any other work conditions
- is used, implicitly or explicitly, to control, influence or affect the career, salary, job or academic prospects or performance of a student or staff member over whom actual or perceived authority exists
- has the purpose or effect of interfering with an individual's academic or work performance
- creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive learning, university residential or work environment, particularly in areas traditionally dominated by one sex.
Forms of sexual harassment which may initially appear mild or trivial can constitute severe harassment in staff-student or employer-employee relationships where there is formal inequality of status, for example, unequal power relationships.
Sexual harassment does not arise in the context of mutual sexual attraction and flirtation based on choice and consent which is a private matter between the individuals concerned.
Under discrimination law, it is unlawful to treat a person less favourably on the basis of particular protected attributes such as a person's sex, race, disability or age. The discrimination can be direct or indirect.
Direct Discrimination is treating someone less favourably, because they have attributes protected by law, than people without those attributes would be treated in the same or similar circumstances.
Indirect Discrimination is often less obvious. Sometimes, a requirement, condition or practice seems fair because it applies to everyone, but a closer look shows that it has an unfair impact on some people with certain protected attributes. This is because some people or groups of people are unable, or less able, to comply with the requirement or are disadvantaged because of it. If the condition or practice is 'not reasonable', it may be indirect discrimination.
Treating a person less favourably can include harassing or bullying a person. The law also has specific provisions relating to sexual harassment, racial hatred and disability harassment. Bullying may not be unlawful under federal or state anti-discrimination laws unless it is linked to, or based on, one of the characteristics covered by these laws, such as the person's age, sex, race or disability. Under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) workplace bullying is repeated unreasonable behaviour by an individual towards a worker which creates a risk to health and safety.
Human Rights Good Practice Fact Sheets — on workplace discrimination, harassment and bullying
Fairwork Australia — government fact sheets about rights and obligations in the workplace
Stalking is a crime. Under the Crime (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007, stalking includes following a person about or watching or frequenting the vicinity of, or a person's place of residence, work or any place that a person frequents for any activity.
Stalking involves a persistent course of conduct or actions by a person which are intended to maintain contact with or exercise power and control over another person. These actions cause distress, loss of control, fear or harassment to another person and occur more than once.
It can involve threats or sexual innuendo and the stalker generally tries to intimidate or induce fear in the person they are stalking. The person being stalked may only realise they are being stalked once they identify a pattern of strange or suspicious incidents occurring, such as:
- phone calls, text messages, messages left on a phone
- messages left on social networking sites
- notes left on their car
- flowers left at their home
- an awareness that they are being followed
- being continually stared at by another person.
The person being stalked often develops a sense of loss of control over their lives and is forced into changing their life routine and behaviours.
Stalking is committed when a person:
- intentionally and persistently
- without a legitimate reason
- engages in a course of conduct directed at another specific person
- against their will
- causes the other person to fear, or to believe, that harm would come to them.
Simply, this means that whatever intentional actions the stalker takes to put you in fear can be considered stalking when it occurs more than once and against your will.
See the NSW Police Force's information about 'What is stalking?'.
Relationship and domestic violence
Controlling and violent relationships
There are many types of domestic and family violence. It is violent, abusive or intimidating behaviour by a partner, carer or family member to control, dominate or cause fear. It doesn't have to be physical abuse. It can be emotional, psychological, financial, sexual or other types of abuse and can include animal abuse targeting pets, and damaging personal or joint property.
It can affect anyone in the community, regardless of gender, sexual identity, race, age, culture, ethnicity, religion, disability, economic status or location.
The offender knows the affected person intimately through a long-term, close or developing relationship and relies on developing, during the early stages, a strong bond through friendship, love, trust and loyalty to create a high degree of co-dependence.
The underlying behavioural traits of power and control are then used to control and abuse the affected person.
The more times the offender abuses, the greater the likelihood the affected partner becomes vulnerable to further abuse and violence.
This can result in the affected person feeling of fearful, guilt, anxiety, low self-esteem, isolation and feeling 'trapped' in the relationship. This often results in a 'Cycle of Violence'.
Children living in a relationship with abusive behaviour are considered to be at risk of harm, either directly by being abused or indirectly by witnessing the abuse of the parent or carer. Children who live in families where domestic and family violence occurs are at a greater risk of being sexually abused. The continuation of abuse and even exposure to such abuse could result in serious problems impacting on the child's personal, health, education and social development.

Social workers help people through individual assistance, advocacy for causes, and agencies serving whole populations. The social work profession has a strong ethical core that emphasizes social justice.
Social work includes careers in government agencies, education, and non-profits helping families, protecting children and other vulnerable people.
Clinical social workers work with individuals, married couples, and whole families to help them function better. School social workers help students deal with issues at home that impede their success in school. Hospitals and the military employ many social workers. Non-profit organizations and government agencies that deal with large-scale issues of social welfare employ social workers, especially when dealing with populations from minority cultures.

Mahoney Law is pleased to announce our dedicated birth injury website, http://idahobirthinjurylawfirm.com. Please visit our birth injury site for more information on labor and delivery malpractice cases. We help families with all types of medical malpractice cases involving labor and delivery. These include, but are not limited to, cases involving a lack of oxygen at birth, a delay in getting baby delivered, infections, trauma, resuscitations, cerebral palsy, and NICU related cases. Often, the babies and young children we help have been diagnosed with a brain injury on MRI, sometimes called hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, which means that the infant's brain was injured at some point from a lack of blood-flow or lack of oxygen. Call, email, or chat to discuss the facts of your situation, free of charge, always with understanding and compassion.
Mahoney Law PLLC of Boise, Idaho is currently accepting and evaluating medical malpractice cases in Boise, and all of Idaho, involving all types of negligent medical care. We handle cases all over the state of Idaho. In striving to be a top medical malpractice law firm, we use the services of numerous medical experts to assist us in evaluating your potential medical malpractice case. Some of the more interesting cases we have reviewed over the past month include: medical malpractice for an orthopedic surgery procedure resulting in a leg amputation; a medical malpractice case involving a radiologist misreading an imaging scan resulting in wrongful death; a medical malpractice case involving severe birth injuries due to failure to diagnose neonatal meningitis. In our effort to be one of the best medical malpractice firms, we offer free, no obligation case evaluations and we work on a contingency fee (commission) basis so you pay no fees unless we are successful at trial or with settlement. We are highly ranked on AVVO, Super Lawyers, and with the Better Business Bureau. Our number is 208-345-6364. Please call and speak with our dedicated legal nurse consultant, Lisa Verdi RN, so we can learn the basic facts of your case.
Mahoney Law Idaho Personal Injury Law Firm is pleased to report that we have settled a personal injury case involving a very serious, tragic injury that occurred at a campground in Idaho. Our client, a 50-year-old female, was rendered a paraplegic when a wind storm blew over a tree which fell on her at a national forest campground. The tree was hazardous in that the campground had a history of "windthrow events" due to poor soil conditions. The entire tree was uprooted due to an unsafe root structure that existed because the campground flooded every year from the nearby lake. Over time, the soil in which 100-foot-tall trees were anchored was merely lakebed gravel. There were no warnings posted and the most dangerous spots had not been closed, despite being on notice of the problem. Our client received a $1.6 million settlement in resolution of this matter, avoiding years of costly litigation and possible appeals. Our extensive use of the federal Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") to obtain internal forest service documents as to this dangerous situation was pivotal in our ability to successfully resolve this case in favor of our client. We take pride in our Idaho Personal Injury Attorney practice and our results oriented approach to representing ordinary Idahoans.
Mahoney Law PLLC of Boise, Idaho is a top-flight personal injury and medical malpractice law firm. We handle a full range of cases, from serious medical malpractice cases to auto-accident claims. Whether your case involves a car crash or negligent care by a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider, we offer free, confidential, no obligation consultations. We are very pleased to announce that we have recently hired a nurse RN to assist us in-office in evaluating new medical related claims and with litigation support. This valuable addition to our team allows us to provide the highest, most accurate, and focused level of representation to our clients in complicated medical related cases as well as in evaluating medical records in more routine cases.
Mahoney Law is pleased to report that it secured a $550,000 settlement on a case against a major, high-profile liability insurance company. The company had wrongfully denied coverage to an at-fault party by whom our client was harmed. Our client agreed to accept a judgment against the at-fault party, plus an assignment of rights to sue the at-fault-party's insurance company for breach of contract and bad faith. We proceeded with a lawsuit against the insurance company. The insurance company requested a settlement mediation at which it agreed to pay over half-a-million dollars, far more than they would have had to pay had they honestly dealt with the claim, in good faith, to begin with. We do not allow insurance companies to bully our clients, or hide documents in discovery, nor do we allow them to get away with denying coverage or denying payment on valid claims. Win, lose, or draw, we will take them to court and seek a just result -- usually they end up paying in the end and regretting not having been honest and straightforward from the start. They end up simply wasting money to pay defense lawyers substantial fees to work the file to deny, delay, and defend that which is fundamentally indefensible -- a tactic that makes little business sense, is unethical, is immoral, and is usually horribly unsuccessful.

Here's some of the things people say about my teaching…
My experience of learning the piano with David has been completely different to lessons I took as a kid which focused on scales and progressing through books a chapter at a time. Every lesson he asks what I like and what I want to learn, he really focuses on meeting your needs and as a result I felt like I progressed quickly whilst enjoying myself along the way! He is endlessly patient and generous, and you cannot help but respond to his genuine enthusiasm for playing the piano . . . like the other reviewers have said I can't recommend David highly enough!
I have found that David matches his teaching style with the way I learn and have found the results to be extremely rewarding. He teaches technique using songs I like and ensuring that playing the piano always feels enjoyable. A fantastic teacher!
David is a really talented musician and a great teacher! The lessons are laid back and enjoyable. David has encouraged me to work on my own personal style. He is very patient… highly recommend as a teacher :)
Brilliant Teacher, unique way of learning. Always loved the music from a Piano but never really got myself into it. I was inspired by a few videos and decided to go for lessons. I've heard it takes years to practice and can be very stressful though-out your lessons. However, with David it's extremely fun, learning something new every week just inspires me even more. David is defiantly Musically Talented – Piano & Guitar. Thank You!
Always enjoy lessons. Very relaxed approach. David teaches us songs which we want to play, and has helped us develop our own style. He has built up our confidence and within less than two months of playing encouraged us to start doing open mics! Great teacher, we have progressed very quickly since starting lessons.

The separate statement that accompanies your summary judgment motion in California courts is not merely a technical requirement you can breeze through; rather, it's an exceedingly important document, and should not be viewed as an afterthought. In fact, when the law is straightforward and well known to the court, the judge may turn first to the separate statement and form an impression on whether the motion is well taken.
California's summary judgment statute requires that the papers filed in support of a motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication include "a separate statement setting forth plainly and concisely all material facts which the moving party contends are undisputed." CCP §437c(b)(1). Each material fact stated must have a reference to the supporting evidence. CCP §437c(b)(1); Cal Rules of Ct 3.1350.
The purpose of a separate statement of undisputed facts is to
- Provide the court with a document that plainly and concisely specifies all material facts that are claimed to be undisputed (CCP §437c(b)(1));
- Provide the court with clear reference to evidence supporting each material fact (Cal Rules of Ct 3.1350); and
- Afford due process to opposing parties (State ex rel Harris v PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (2005) 125 CA4th 1219, 1262 n28, 23 CR3d 529, rev'd on other grounds (2006) 39 C4th 1220, 48 CR3d 144).
The penalty for failing to comply with the separate statement requirements is huge—it could be grounds for denying the motion. CCP §437c(b)(1).
Now that you know how important the separate statement is to the success of your motion, here are some questions to ask yourself as you prepare one:
1. Are specific facts set out showing the existence of a triable issue of material fact as to the cause of action or defense?
- Are only the undisputed material facts laid out?
- Are only necessary facts laid out?
- Are any facts overstated?
2. Is evidence identified for each fact?
- Is there a logical relationship between the facts stated and the supporting evidence?
- Is the evidence susceptible of more than one meaning?
- What additional evidence would make the case stronger?
3. Is the separate statement in a separate document?
4. Is the separate statement in a two-column format?
Help on understanding and answering each of these questions can be found in CEB's California Summary Judgment, chap 6. Before you even begin your summary judgment motion, check out our blog post 10 Things to Check Before Moving for Summary Judgment.
