If you have been following along with our updates for the new Friday the 13th video game project spearheaded by Havoc Games and Unleaded Games, you know that a lot of preparation and time has been spent developing and implementing this ambitious venture. Our previous updates on the video game have shown new and breathtaking imagery featuring Crystal Lake and Jason Voorhees.
As we all know, a project of this size is time consuming, especially when it is being worked on by a small number of people, but with immense talent. Recently, Ken from Unleaded Games contacted us with an update containing new images from the game as well as a more detailed explanation of what stage the developers are at in producing the game environments as well as some insight into some of the game play fans will experience. Would you like to upgrade weapons and outfits for Jason anyone?
From Ken at Unleaded Games
The new level re-design has been going slow, but very well for Unleaded Games. They are currently putting in some final details such as power poles and generators to give a sense of realism to the environment. To date there are 10 unique locations in the first level which covers a 2 mile radius of a fictional Camp Crystal Lake, that is geographically based on Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. 5 cabins surround the lake/camp area, while a rundown cabin can be found in the middle of the woods. You can also stumble onto campers in tents lost in the woods, and even Jason's shack which operates as an upgrade store to cash in kill experience points to unlock new weapons and Jason gear from various movies. Also notable areas nearing completion is a homage to the Higgins heaven farm complete with a biker gang to dispatch, and also a homage to the Jarvis house can be found a short distance up the road from the barn.
Look for more updates on the game exclusively here at Friday the 13th: The Film Franchise in the future!

To pour the sacred water of the Beloved upon our spirits we must first, recognize joy as it brushes lightly against our souls, and second, appreciate you in the moment without trying to snatch it and bury it in the backyard like a bone. William Blake describes this beautifully in his poem, "Kiss the Joy as it Flies."
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy,
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise.
If we feel less joy in our lives than we do guilt, obligation, resentment, exhaustion, or depression, it probably means that a spiritual tune-up is in order. we may simply need to recalibrate our ability to tune into joy as it flits unobtrusively by the windows of our souls. ~Sue Patton Thoele
and so, how did you know you were granted an amazing day, or an amazing moment, or an amazing life? joy? sorrow too?
inquiry for today~ how can you make space for all of your life to be here and reflected in your gifts?
under the blue skyunder the blue sky
With life as short as a half-taken breath, do not plant anything but love. ~Rumi

Warning:- Post is very lengthy but worth reading and making it.
When we think of biryani the first thing we get in our mind is the famous dum biryani of hyderabad.Apart from pearls hyderabad is famous for its dum biryani.Biryani is of two types pakki and kacchi gosh biryani.Pakki biryani is where mutton/chicken is cooked and layered with half-cooked rice and kacchi gosh is where raw mutton/chicken is layered with half-cooked rice.
Both of these types are cooked in dum i.e. A bowl is taken in which the mutton/chicken and rice are layered and sealed with chapathi dough and hot charcoal is placed above that and the flame is kept at low so that the mutton and the rice is cooked in slow process. We must ensure that vapours do not escape. Sealing with the dough is a cumbersome process, so I use aluminium foil to seal it and don't use charcoal. I have been cooking this biryani every Friday since last 7 years, one can only close to the art of mastering biryani by preparing it regularly.
Learnt this biryani from a aunty in Muscat (oman) who is from Hyderabad. Had many disaster with this like once forgot to add oil,didn't add salt, didn't add lemon. Here goes the recipe.
For the rice
Basmathi rice 1/2 kg soaked for 2 hrs
Cinnamon 3 pcs
Cloves 4
Shahi zeera 1 tbsp
Green chillies 4
Big elachi 1
Small elachi 2
Pudina 1/2-1 cup
Soak rice with all the above ingredients for 2-3 hours.
For mutton/chicken/lamb
Chicken 1/2 kg
Onions 4
Ginger garlic paste 1tbsp
Curd 2 cups
Cinnamon 2
Cloves 3
Shahi zeera 1/2 tbsp
Japatri little
Lemon 1 big
Red chilli powder 1 tsp
Elachi small 1
Pudina 1/2 cup
Green chillies 2 slited
Salt as per taste
For layers:-
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Garam masala 1 tsp
Saffron a pinch Milk 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 cup
coriander 1 cup
Fried onions
Step 1
*Chop onions and deep fry onions.Keep half of the onions aside.
*Mix all the ingredients for mutton and half of the onions and marinate for 2-3 hours preferably over night. (I usually soak it at night and next day i prepare biryani)
*Soak saffron in the milk for 2-3 hours.
Step 2*Soak rice and all the masala for the rice.Once the water starts boiling add the salt.Cook till rice is half-cooked.
*Drain all the water in a strainer
Step 3*In a thick bottom vessel spread 2 tbsp of oil.Spread half of the marinated chicken.
*Spread half of the rice.Sprinkle 1 tbsp of lemon juice,sprinkle garam masala,2tbsp of oil.
*Then spread rest of the chicken followed by rest of the rice.Sprinkle 1 tbsp of lemon juice,rest of the garam masala and 2 tbsp of oil.
*Now spread fried onions over the rice and sprinkle saffron soaked milk.
*Then spread coriander leaves.
Step 4
*Cover the vessel with aluminium foil and put it on the stove.
*Firstly put it on a high flame for 30 sec and reduce to low flame and cook exactly for 30 minutes.
*Once switch off the flame,don't open.Let it stand for another 10-12 minutes.
This is best served with mirchi salan and raita.
Note: Oil which is used to deep frying onions can be used in the layers.
Vapours should not escape, the foil should be very tight and if possible place a container with water above the foil so that vapours doesn't escape.
enjoy biryani……………………………

Tampa Bay quarterback Jeff Garcia is among the many players here who don't want the Pro Bowl moved or done away with.
In fact, Garcia said he can't imagine a Pro Bowl away from the islands.
"It would be difficult to fathom it ever happening. I don't know if that would ever take place," said Garcia, a day after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters the game could move.
"I think that would take away from the experience of the players and the families out here. This is something special to us. Hopefully, the commissioner will really think about that before he makes any drastic change."
Titans defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was asked for his thoughts on one of the NFL's ideas to jazz up the all-star game.
"Before the Super Bowl? That doesn't make any sense," the first-time Pro Bowl player said.
But he's also one of just a few players who have caught a touchdown pass in at least two Super Bowls.
Used as a receiver near the goal line, Vrabel has eight receptions, all going for scores, including one each in the Pats' victorious Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX.
Will he be part of the goal-line offense package for the AFC in Sunday's Pro Bowl?
"I asked Norv (Turner, the AFC coach of the Chargers), but he wouldn't tell me," Vrabel said. "I'd like to."
And the rest of the Seattle front-seven players are here, too, courtesy of their teammates who got picked for the game.
"It's good to get them out here," Tatupu said. "A lot of them are the reason we're here enjoying it."
The Pro Bowl Ohana Day is from 9 a.m. until noon. Gates open at 8:30 a.m. and parking is also free.
The Pro Bowl Football Festival continues today at Kapiolani Park with Military Appreciation Day, from noon to 6 p.m. It concludes tomorrow with NFL Play 60 Day, focusing on youth fitness, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Tomorrow's activities are highlighted by a block party in Waikiki, on Kalakaua Avenue. It goes from 7 to 10 p.m.

A Bethesda Tale: From Parking Lots to Mixed-Use Development
- By
- Jun 18, 2015
By Adrian Maties, Associate Editor
Bethesda is saying hello to a new mixed-use development. This afternoon, Monty Hoffman, CEO of PN Hoffman, and Doug Firstenberg, principal of StonebridgeCarras, will be present at 7170 Woodmont Ave. to celebrate the grand opening of The Darcy and The Flats. Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett and other officials will also attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The project was developed by a joint venture between StonebridgeCarras, PN Hoffman and Northwestern Mutual. It broke ground in April 2012, about four months after the three companies formed the joint venture. The total cost was $122.5 million.
The Darcy and The Flats were developed on the 3.3-acre parcel formerly known as Lot 31, which was once the home of two public surface parking lots. The developers purchased it through a land transfer with Montgomery County.
Both of the new residential buildings are clad in metal and brick. The Flats is a five-story building with 162 apartments. The Darcy has nine stories and 88 condominium units.
Bethesda's new mixed-use development was designed to achieve LEED Silver certification. In addition to the 250 residential units, it also includes 42,000 square feet of retail space and a four-level, below-grade public and private garage with about 950 public parking spaces.
The Darcy and The Flats were designed by SK&I Architectural Design Group. Clark Construction Group was the general contractor.

I just recovered from yet another breast infection. They make me feel so run down, and I ache everywhere. I spent most of the weekend just relaxing and watching movies. My husband was so sweet to help in every way possible (as he always does). I am so blessed in so many ways, and sometimes I don't even realize all the blessings I have, and will complain about what I don't have. We truly have so many things to be thankful for that we could never think of them all!
I first and foremost have an amazing God who has sent his Son to die for me, so that we can have ETERNAL life with Him. Wow, for that alone I should be so grateful (which I am).
He has blessed me beyond my dreams, with an amazing husband who loves the children and I, and gives of himself every waking and sleeping moment. While I have been dealing with this breast infection, he so sweetly brought me water and vitamin c every 30 minutes! Along with garlic, snacks, and watching the kids, so that I could take a hot shower like 3 times a day. He has made us breakfast almost every morning since we have been married ( amazing omelets, potatoes, pancakes, crepes, biscuits...etc.) and I am so grateful. He shows me how much he truly loves me each and every day. I love you Brendan!!!
And my sweet precious children! They are so amazing, and keep us laughing and light hearted...well, most of the time!!! I have learned so much from having them, and have learned also from them to enjoy the little things of life. They are such a joy and I thank the Lord for them everyday.
I am thankful for the health we have, for family, our nice cozy home, all the food we have, a warm soft bed to crawl into every night, a working (and much nicer) minivan to drive in, our church friends and the list goes on and on!!!
We just got home from Costco with a nice van full of groceries. Every month I am so grateful that we have the money to purchase all the food, diapers, wipes, clothes, and everything else we need, along with the ability to pay our many bills. The Lord is so good to us!
I want to encourage everyone to take each day and think about the things your are thankful for, and all the many, many blessings we have. Until next time....
Brendan here:
As I think about the many blessings the Lord has showered on us, I want to thank Him for always being with us, as the Scripture promises us in Hebrews 13:5, "Be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." From the moment I first met the Lord, He has always shown me His great provision in all things, and after salvation, in which He brought me to himself as a child, I must say I am thankful for my beautiful wife, whom the Lord brought to me in answer to so many years of prayers! And that she is always blessing me with her help, counsel, support, cheer and just so much of her amazing adorableness. I am also thankful that she forgives me when I fall short of being all of the man I want to be for. When I am away from her for a moment, I immediately miss her so much. I am grateful to be able to be with her as much as I am, with me working at home and all. In sickness and in health, she means more to me than all the universe, and I am always challenged and inspired by her courage, perseverance and faithfulness, serving by my side.
The next two joys of my heart are surely our children, who are such precious gifts from God. I pray continually that we will have His love and wisdom to raise them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Parenting puts us on our knees so much! It is so simple, yet so complex, and I am thankful that in all my failure to be the father I want to be, our children still look at me with their big, adoring eyes, and now Tyler calls me Daddy. My eyes want to overflow with tears when I contemplate the reality and sweetness of this thought. I think that at this point, I'm the only man Abigail will allow to hold her, or as Tyler puts it, holder (when he wants to holder:). Just this morning in meeting she took one look at a young man, a long time friend of mine, and started to wail, plunging her pretty little head into my shoulder. I can't imagine life without them, and all the thrill and joy they bring to our hearts. They are more humorous than I ever thought they could be too, bringing so much laughter into our home.
There are countless more things for which I thank the Lord for, but I don't want to make this blog too long, so Until next time....

So Thankful!Posted by Brendan and Sarah
I just recovered from yet another breast infection. They make me feel so run down, and I ache everywhere. I spent most of the weekend just relaxing and watching movies. My husband was so sweet to help in every way possible (as he always does). I am so blessed in so many ways, and sometimes I don't even realize all the blessings I have, and will complain about what I don't have. We truly have so many things to be thankful for that we could never think of them all!
Winter MonthsPosted by Brendan and Sarah
Wow how time flies! We moved into our new home 6 months ago. It seems like we were just on the search of finding the right place in such a short amount of time.
Daddy and Tyler just left to go to the bank, Abigail is working on falling asleep in her bed and I am sitting here sipping a coffee that my wonderful husband made me cause I'm so tired today!!! Life is good, and full of things that I constantly need to be working on.
Lately I've really been trying hard to focus on being patient with my son, who is learning to talk, and repeats the same word 100 times in a row. He persistently wants me to acknowledge what he is saying. I keep reminding myself that this is how he learns! I am so grateful to have him here with me all day. He is such a joy, and is aways making Mommy and Daddy laugh!
Another work in progress is my learning how to happily submit to my husband, even when it seems impossible. Very often I am confident he is making the wrong decision (so I think).
Let me tell you, I fail terribly at this all the time. Right now I am attending a women's Titus 2 study, and I come home every Tuesday morning so refreshed and excited to be all I can be for my husband!
It's a cozy day outside today, and I'm hoping to make some granola and coconut milk before the day is over. Our little girl is already 5 months old and growing so fast. She is such a happy baby, for which I am so thankful, as Tyler is a handful all by himself. We spend all day watching to make sure that Tyler doesn't hurt her in some way, as he loves her so much!
My boys are home now, and I have a little wiggle worm on my lap, so I must go. I want to encourage you with these verses today, and may The Lord bless you!
"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ....In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (2 Cor 2:14, 1st Thess 5:18).

Although this may seem like old news, Sudden oak death is something all gardeners should look out for.
It is not just our beautiful old oak trees that suffer from this pathogen but many other smaller trees and shrubs that you are likely to have in your garden. The plant pathogen Phytophthora ramorum known as Sudden oak death also effects garden plants such as; Rhododendron, Viburnum, Camellia, Calluna, Erica, Hamamelis , Lonicera , Syringa, Taxus and Laurel.
Symptoms vary depending on each plant, therefore is especially hard to identify. Our advice would be to visit the DEFRA site to see the list of symptoms and contact them directly if you need any further assistance in this matter. If you do find an issue please share it with us on Twitter.

They and a few of their friends (Lam San-san the bespectacled one and Sara Lee in a small role) go camping, but when it begins raining they find shelter in a nearby temple. Inside is residing the un-reincarnated ghost of a Ching scholar who committed suicide long ago. Bonnie unthinkingly brings back the rope that he used to kill himself with and it turns out his spirit has been captured in this rope. Raymond jumps out of the rope and after initially scaring Bonnie they become the best of friends.

How to Blend Natural Beauty into Your Home Design
And other tips from June
As we notice a shift towards sustainable living, the architectural dialogue between interiors and nature are more important than ever. Whether attempting to blend architecture into the surrounding landscape or incorporating natural elements into interiors, nature-inspired home designs convey a balance between rural and modern aesthetics. With this in mind, read on to discover how you can create a home that seeks a sense of harmony with natural surroundings, as well as four other design tips you might have missed this month.
Design Tip #1
Look to the mountains
Check out this amazing terrain-inspired wall idea from CL3 Architects featured in the Yanlord Clubhouse in China. The colorful accent wall in the clubhouse swimming pool is a geometric pattern that takes its cues from mountain views to create an abstract vision of the terrain. The installation is made from custom aluminum panels, a range of metal shingles in a color palette of white and peacock green, and presented with a gradient visual effect. To me, this is a stunning interpretation of mountain ranges, further exploring the relationship between architecture and natural landscape.
Check out the full tour of this versatile experiential space here.
Design Tip #2
Open your eyes to the ocean
Speaking of accent walls, why not let coastal styles provide the perfect neutral. Here, the large-scale photo creates a sense of tranquility, which immediately transforms the room into a realm of calm. This natural decor element is perfect for contemplation without getting your toes wet.
For more advice on how to decorate your home with nautical themes, click here.
Design Tip#3
Defining interiors with natural materials
One of the easiest ways to blend natural beauty into your home design is by leaning into natural materials such as wood. This home uses wood in its various formats, not only create a stunning fireplace centerpiece, but being useful too. The wood paneled fireplace provides a rustic touch and atmospheric mood like no other with its rough and warm textures.
For more contemporary fireplace inspiration, head here.
Design Tip #4
Even an open plan office can turn to landscape inspired design
When Bean Buro designed the Green Oasis space for health insurance firm Cigna, they chose to develop an aesthetic narrative driven by Hong Kong's extraordinary vistas. The soft curves of Hong Kong's vibrant landscape are well translated into the interior architectural language. The design centers around open plan layouts and finishes in a muted green and gray color scheme. "We interpreted the idea of islands as a desirable 'oasis'," reveal the designers. "A legible green sculptural backdrop ties the whole open plan together, while 'colored bays' emerge to create social zones, such as the reception, pantry and break out spaces."
See more of this contemporary office design here.
Design Tip #5
Wide windows showcase the best of nature
Intricately designed by Charlie Lazor from Minneapolis based architecture firm Lazor/Office, the Kiss-Kiss House is a wood lakeside cabin in Canada, making optimal use of the hidden wilderness locale and stunning views. Structure-wise, a branch-like structure is envisioned for the house that fits in with its scenery. "At the 'kiss line' between two prefabricated modules, the linear form of the house snaps like a branch held together only by bark," describes by Lazor. "The open break forms a V-shaped outdoor room facing the water." The layout permits for views all around the home, taken in through big windows.

Pouch papers are a great find for the newbie to rolling and equally perfect for the smoker who has shaky hands and difficulty using a roller.
They are 1 ¼ size, pre-folded and sealed at each end to form a pouch for you to put your tobacco into. Put the amount you like into the pouch and roll it up without worrying that it will spill out the ends. Perfect smoke every time.
If the lightest weight paper is what matters to you try Glass clear rolling papers. Available in 1 ¼ and King Size these papers offer the added advantage of seeing what you're rolling! These are made from cellulose, glycerin and water. This may not be a rolling paper you will want to use every day but it is fun for a novelty and great if you're a collector of unusual rolling papers.
Some roll your own purists prefer a gum free rolling paper. For those smokers we recommend OCB un-gummed, a rolling paper with no glue strip. Part of the logic is the glue strip is a slowing point that causes papers to run no matter how dry they are. We've tried OCB un-gummed ourselves and they aren't wrong, these are great rolling papers. OCB un-gummed papers are best for use by experienced hand rollers. They don't work as well when you use a rolling machine.
If you're all about the bling and want to make a big, glitzy statement with the papers you use, try Shine gold rolling papers. Made from actual edible gold this is super fun for a holiday or birthday. Maybe you want to twist one up and give a special gift to a fellow bling lover. At 54.99 per pack these papers are pricey but no one will ever forget you.
Randy's has been the darling of underground tobacco smokers for years. The papers have a very thin wire embedded that rolls along with your smoke. As you smoke the wire is left exposed. At the very end you bend the wire down to form a perfect built in clip. No waste.
If you really like to keep what you're smoking low key and under the radar, try Urban Wraps cigarette printed rolling papers. Made in a 1 ½ size only, with a brown "filter" printed in nontoxic soy ink on one end, these papers look remarkably like a commercial cigarette, especially when you use a rolling machine to roll with.
The organic movement has reached the tobacco industries. At Rolling Paper Store we are confident that as this movement gains strength there will be more options. For those smokers who value what they're putting into their bodies we recommend Raw Organic Hemp Rolling Papers. Made from organically sourced hemp, they use only the most tender, inner part of the hemp stalk to make this wonderful rolling paper.
No matter what your regular favorite rolling paper might be it's always nice to branch out occasionally and try something new and different. At Rolling Paper Store we are always adding new brands of rolling papers to our site. We're always looking for new ways to improve your smoking experience, so if there's something you want to see just drop us an email at email@example.com and let us know.

Kent artist creates art with a conscience
In the art world it is sometimes noted that those who can't make art teach it. That somewhat condescending remark certainly does not apply to Claudia DeMonte, a former art professor at the University of Maryland who has had a long and serious career as an exhibiting artist.
DeMonte, who maintains homes in New York City and Kent, will open her latest exhibit, "La Forza del Destino—Sculpture and Paintings" at the June Kelly Gallery on April 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. The show continues through May 13.
According to the artist, "La Forza Del Destino" examines, through painting and sculpture, the concept of destiny and the unique global perspectives and icons that represent luck, superstition, and protection from the evils of the world.
"I started to think about the things people use to protect themselves, to promote good luck," she said. "I started to think about the connections in life, the luck of meeting people and how accidentally meeting people has changed my life. I started to make charts of how things do and don't lead to other things and those charts started to lead to what gives us luck—the hand of someone, the foot of another. I became fascinated that every culture has some good luck symbol."
Such a culturally diverse approach to her art is the outgrowth of her childhood in Astoria, Queens. "I'm from Astoria—I am very proud of that," she said. "I grew up, basically, in the United Nations. Astoria was the most ethnically diverse county in the U.S. I went to the Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica, a school with 50 different nationalities, mostly first-generation students."
She noted that hers was not the usual experience for that borough, however. "When I was growing up in the 1950s, I was very blessed to have parents who embraced diversity and wanted me to be part of that. It was very unusual in the '50s—after all, Archie Bunker was from Queens."
She stressed that she came from a middle-class household that was, nevertheless, rich in experience. "My parents didn't have any money, but we were rich in every other way," she said. "My parents were from very modest backgrounds—my father's parents were immigrants and his mother died in the 1918 flu epidemic. My grandfather brought in her sisters to care for the children while he went off to find fame and fortune—which he never found."
Later the aunts abandoned the children, and her father lived, homeless, on the streets. "I come from a world of immigrants," DeMonte said, "and their stories are real movies. But my parents tried to give us everything. They took us to all the museums, exposed us to the opera. They took us on weekend adventures. We knew what mattered, and they instilled that in us."
She also nurtured a lust for travel during her childhood, a lust that has since led her to travel in more than 100 countries.
Instead of becoming conservative and encouraging their children to find predictable careers, DeMonte said her parents were thrilled when she considered a future in the arts. "They thought the arts were best thing you could do," she reported.
DeMonte attended the College of Notre Dame of Maryland and the Catholic University in Washington, earning an MFA, and later taught at the University of Maryland for 32 years.
When she started college she was intrigued by the study of history. "Then I realized all the papers I was writing were about art history or architecture," she said. "I realized I was more interested in art history, but fortunately my school wouldn't let you take art history without some studio courses. So I got more interested in making things and applied to grad school."
While encouraging her to reach for the sky, her parents also cautioned her to remain single until she had a chance to experience the world. They began to fret a little when she reached age 29 in a single state, but she soothed their concerns by marrying sculptor Ed McGowin, with whom she will have a joint exhibition at Torrington's Five Points Gallery at the end of May.
While city based, the couple built a cabin in Sharon in 1982, and they later moved to a small house in Kent where they weekend and spend summers.
The couple maintained the New York home throughout her teaching career, and she commuted to the university, a daunting 200-mile commute. Nevertheless, she said she loved her job. "When I retired, I actually thanked them for allowing me to teach their children," she said. "I loved it."
Working for a university allowed her plenty of time to pursue her own work, DeMonte said. "At the university level you only teach seven and a half months a year, three days a week," she said. "I always worked on my own art and started to exhibit in the '70s. I've had a pretty serious career, exhibiting the whole time. I'm not a household name, but I've had a longstanding, serious career."
She noted that people used to say she had "sold out" because she taught. "Only 4 percent of artists can make a living from art," she said. "I'm very middle class. I needed an income, and now we have a retirement."
She said her work has been produced in series, often provoked by some social concern. "My last exhibition was about the homeless in Mississippi," she said. "I did a thing about what we want and what we need. These people had nothing. When I asked them what they needed, they said really basic things like soap and aspirin."
Her foreign travels also have impressed on her the needs of women around the world. During her travels, DeMonte was able to pose the question "What image represents 'woman'" to artists in 178 countries, inviting each to create a work of art that expressed her view of the essential female qualities.
In the ensuing exhibition, "Women of the World," the visionary and the everyday came together to render a global image of the female, circa 2000. Traditional art in ancient media joined with multimedia constructions, making an aggregate statement about the continuity of women's accomplishment.
Each artist in the exhibition donated the work to be auctioned off at the end of the exhibition tour to raise money to help other women. However, to keep the exhibit whole, Richard Colton, a New Orleans businessman and art collector, made a donation in the name of the artists to the New York Women's Foundation. He plans to donate the collection to the International Museum of Women, which will permanently house the exhibition.
"When I was in Tibet, I realized how western-based our images of women were," she said. "All the time women do things that no one thinks about—doing dishes, making beds. I thought about the luxury of exercise, of being in a country where people pay to go to gyms in special clothes. But when I was in Tunisia during the first International Year of the Woman I saw a man riding on a donkey whipping his wife [who was carrying their packages] to make her go faster."
Such disparities have informed her work as much as has the awareness of her own capabilities instilled by her immigrant father. "When I was a child, my father said that by the time I was an adult there would be a woman president and that I should think about if I wanted it to be me. I went back and thought about it for months and then told him I didn't think I wanted to live a public life—but for those months I had really thought about what I could do," she said.
Throughout her life she has proved she could be anything she wanted to be.
The June Kelly Gallery is located at 166 Mercer St. in New York City (t: 212-226-1660).

27 July 2010
In the unsheltered heat of the Spanish morning sunshine, the Aviva Great Britain and Northern Ireland team started their European championship campaigns making good progress in the women's 400m hurdles and the men's 400m, with all athletes through to their next rounds.
First to fly the team strip featuring the Union flag was Aviva UK Trials winner Perri Shakes-Drayton (Coach: Chris Zah) who ran a well structured race to finish a confident second behind Romania's Angela Morosanu , Shakes-Drayton's time of 55.35 a strong opener in the first track race of the championships.
With the top three guaranteed to progress in each race it was job done for the Victoria Park and Tower Hamlets athlete who said: "That was hard. It's so hot but also so early in the morning!" she gasped soon after, "I hit my knee on a hurdle and the lactic is starting to kick in so I'm off to physio!"
Two heats later and it was time for team mate Eilidh Child (Stuart Hogg) to take her place, and out in lane eight she made no mistakes and went out hard, taking the field through the first few flights of hurdles.
Entering the home straight Bulgaria's Vania Stambolova took the lead from an inside lane – leaving Child to battle for second spot alongside Russia's Natalya Ivanova, the Brit taking the second with 55.82.
"In the warm up area it was pretty cool and shaded but out on the track it was just completely open but it was ok," concluded the Pitreavie athlete.
"I used to be really bad in the heat, obviously… I'm from Scotland! But the Aviva camp in Portugal has definitely helped me.
"I had to just go out hard - because I was in lane 8 - and didn't know what was behind me, but it's fine because now I have the whole day tomorrow to rest and recover."
Leading the qualifiers into Wednesday night's semi final was Russian Natalya Antyukh – who dominated the fourth heat in an easy looking 54.29 demonstrating just why she is ranked third in the world in 2010.
Next up it was the turn of the men's 400m representatives with Martyn Rooney (Nick Dakin), Conrad Williams (Linford Christie) and Michael Bingham (Ken Harndon) featuring in the first, fourth and fifth heat with the top four in each race guaranteed places in the next round.
Rooney, like Child, was cursed with lane eight, but ran a strong first 300m leading the field into the straight. Belgian one-lapper Kevin Borlee, challenged over the final 50m and just took the line ahead of Rooney who looked easy as he slowed to a conservative 45.82 for second place.
"I ran to 300m and then stopped running," he revealed. "I did my job, and did what I had to do.
And then reflecting in his comments in Monday's official team press conference where he declared the track to be his favourite kind of surface: "The track is beautiful, it's the best track in the world!"
Williams, the third Brit of the morning to take the outside lane, ran a solid race to be in contention in the home straight. He crossed the line in third position behind Russia's Vladmir Krasnov and Frenchman Teddy Venel, clocking 46.35 and taking an automatic qualifying slot for Wednesday night's semi finals and clearly setting his sights on going beyond that stage:
"That was fine, I just had to make sure I qualified and I'm happy with that, because everything is feeing ok. It was a good start for me," he said.
"My aim is clearly the final, not making that would be a big disappointment."
Almost as if saving the best for last, Michael Bingham had the strongest qualifying performance of the morning from the GB team, dominating his 400m heat and easing over the line in first place in 45.49, having had the luxury of looking all around for challengers on the home straight.
It was a confident performance from Bingham whose heat featured world finalist Leslie Djhone, but the Frenchman was forced to settle for second behind the determined Brit.
"The last 100m was pretty lacklustre," he admitted – "I could have run a lot faster and I did what I needed to do.
"Could I have gone under 45? Maybe - but I didn't and I'll see what happens tomorrow in the semi final."
Tonight's Aviva GB & NI team interest starts with the men's high jump qualifying featuring Tom Parsons and Martyn Bernard at 19:10 local time, with Mo Farah and Chris Thompson the first Brits to take part in a final at 21:05 in the men's 10,000m.

I have several dimensions. Especially curves that don't do anything when I try to dimension them with smart dimension. How do I add dimensions for those lines and curves?
I have several dimensions. Especially curves that don't do anything when I try to dimension them with smart dimension. How do I add dimensions for those lines and curves?
If you modeled this part then you hopefully made all your sketches fully defined. All of your drawing dimensions are grey colored which tells me you added them one-by-one in the drawing. Instead I recommend you use Insert -> Model Items (at the very top).
I marked the settings to use, but you should read up on this and all its options in the Help. (The circled icon on the left is just to show where I keep this icon on my toolbar and what it looks like.)
This is such a fantastic tool as it puts the dimensions you used in your sketches right onto the views of the drawing. You will have to move them around and maybe even use the Shift button to move a dimension or callout from one view to another, but it allows you to use right there in your drawing the very same definitions you used to make the part. It also helps to keep from overlooking some dimensions, which is very easy to do when manually creating dimensions.
If your views or sections are off for any reason you can get a spline that you cannot dimension, as John has pointed out. But if you defined your features with dimensions in your sketches then it makes sense to re-use that work in the drawing.
Eric Eubanks wrote:
I learned about that in the tutorial. I wasn't sure how reliable it was.
It never fails! Seriously, try it and only supplement the drawing with manually created dimensions when something was defined with geometric constraints in its sketch, but you need to communicate it on the drawing.
It is reliable. Word of caution as you being new. If you change an imported dim on a drawing your model will change to the new dimension as well.
When I am working with an intern this is the last suggestion I make for 2 very good reasons.
1.) Easy to change a model without meaning to.
2.)More important in my book, if you detail parts and get used to making a drawing that makes sense (how is this going to be made?). It gives you the tools to approach design from the perspective of how am I going to detail this?
I am not saying you can't use your model dimensions. Just putting in my 2 pennies on someone who is new to the software and design in general.
Don't underestimate Dennis's suggestion. The whole point of SWX should be to convey design intent. If you define your parts with the correct dimensions, tolerances, surface finishes, processes, etc., you can have that intent carried into your drawings.
Take a look at this part:
How would you model this? You have choices. But, for this part the best way to model it may be how they are going to build it:
Especially notice that the rope grooves are "cut" in my model below. If you model this way, you can get accurate weights and such from the actual steel that will be used. If I were to produce the grooves as a revolve, you can't get that information by rolling back the model.
I hope this helps.
You would think so, but this is not the case. If you grab the view that the sketch happens to be parallel to, you can get all of the dimensions from that sketch into that drawing view.
In this drawing I had to create a "View" in my part that was parallel to the plane the circled hole was on to get the view to show this hole:
This was not for a production drawing, I threw this together for a colleague yesterday. That view to the left should be clarified. I probably shouldn't be showing you bad drafting, but I was trying to show my point.
Actually, I can't handle that wheel, it has a 10'10" diameter rope pitch... I'd need a crane...
Here's one from a previous bridge:
And thanks for the compliment. I did it pre-SSP and it has a lot of work into it, such as FEA and bevel cuts for welding. If I get time, I'll design it in place, SSP style.
This already looks much better. But here are few drawing quality comments.
1. First drawing appears ISO. This one ANSI. (The ANSI looks better, IMHO.)
2. 100.00 and 10.00 degrees. How about only one or zero decimal places on these.
3. The two .71 dimensions should probably be a 1.42 diameter dimension in the front view.
4. Top view: Pull the extension lines off the object lines. The .04 dimension and R.08 cross each other. This is a no-no. Also, what does the .04 tell us? I suspect it is a bad way of indicating a radius.
5. Is there draft on this part? It looks like it but there is no dimension or note for it.
6. The knob profile in the right side view is missing a radius.
7. The 1.18 dim in the front view should be a diameter.
8. Three standard views is preferred because it is sufficient in most cases. However, I suspect you will need a back view and maybe a section view for this part. I suspect there are features on the back that are not visible here and therefore not communicated. Remember, you have to look at the drawing as if it is the ONLY piece of information you are providing. Does the drawing really have everything they need to make the part?
There are more, but it is clear to see you are learning and getting better.
I'll give you this advice again because this would be a very good part to use just your drawing and its information and make a brand new model of this part. No fair using the previous model, just use the information on this drawing. That will tell you a lot about what information needs to be on the drawing and will help you figure out what is missing.
You never answered my question to you the other day about what texts or other resources you are using for this class. Please list them for us.
You don't want to have your angles to 2 decimal places.
Go into your drawing template and set your tolerances:
Once you are finished, click on Edit Sheet:
And save your new template back to the location that you drawing templates are saved:
I went ahead and modified a drawing template to get you started.
Honestly, if we could get it forged, we'd really like that. But I never got a clear answer on how expensive it would be, or if it was even possible. The compromise has been to get the hub and ring as an ASTM A668 Class D S4 forging and the stiffeners and web as plate steel. However, because this is put out to bid, I'm going to include an option to have the whole thing forged, or at least the hub, rim and web. And we'll see if the foundry I was in contact with is competitive.
Here's a clearer picture showing the welds:

Foxtel overhauls entertainment line-up
with 4 exclusive new FOX-branded channels and Lifestyle refresh
Foxtel today announced the most significant overhaul of its entertainment TV channel line-up in a decade with the introduction of four new and exclusive FOX-branded channels and a wholesale repositioning and refresh of its popular Lifestyle franchise.
The channel changes across entertainment and lifestyle are a further step by Foxtel in providing its customers the best of TV and On Demand all in one place, at the best value.
From 7 November, Foxtel customers will enjoy four new and exclusive FOX-branded entertainment channels FOX ONE, FOX FUNNY, FOX HITS and FOX CRIME in addition to existing FOX-branded entertainment channels FOX SHOWCASE, FOX8 and FOX CLASSICS, together with Foxtel's FOX branded sports channels.
Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany said:
"FOX is a breakthrough global entertainment brand known for surprising and shaking things up. These new FOX-branded TV channels allow us to take control of our entertainment programming based on bold channel personalities that keep things fresh and aligned to what our customers want from us. They will also deliver great outcomes for our advertisers.
"The channels are unapologetically and unmistakably Foxtel. They are exclusive to us and make it even easier for our customers to access our huge range of television, from the latest international and local drama series to the most popular crime and comedies.
"They add to our existing flagship FOX-branded channels and will be home to thousands of hours of the best live and On Demand TV. There is no other collection of channel brands like it on Australian television or streaming platforms."
The Foxtel Lifestyle Group, which recently came under the control of Wendy Moore who joined Foxtel this year from Pacific Magazines, has undergone a brand revision and revitalisation which now also includes Foxtel's Arena channel which has been repositioned and refreshed.
Mr Delany said:
"Our female audiences are incredibly important and this wholesale revision and revitalisation of the Lifestyle Group doubles-down on delivering more value through relevant and contemporary programming for Australian women and their families.
"We know that seeing your own lives and dreams beam directly to your home is a powerful motivator. Our Lifestyle channels have built a strong emotional connection with women by inspiring them with what's on-trend and what's possible.
"We know however that life is about the perfect mixture of sugar and spice. Part of viewer enjoyment and well-being involves indulging their guilty pleasures.
"This is where the repositioning and refresh of the Arena channel fits in as the home of risqué reality, glamour and salacious gossip and drama. This will see the channel air a fresh, new series of Australia's Real Housewives of Melbourne in 2020."
From 25 September, Foxtel's Lifestyle channels will see a brand revision and revitalisation to align with the lives and aspirations of contemporary Australian women. The refresh will be accompanied by the arrival of the new Foxtel Original series, Find Me a Beach House and the return of Lifestyle favourites, Love It or List It Australia and The Great Australian Bake Off.
The channel changes follow yesterday's announcement that the BBC's new premium factual channel BBC Earth will launch on Foxtel on 10 October, bringing viewers incredible stories about the world around us including four of Sir David Attenborough's biggest titles - Blue Planet II, Planet Earth II, Frozen Planet and The Hunt. BBC Earth will replace the existing channel BBC Knowledge and will include a significant increase in On Demand programming.
^All FOX channels, with the exception of 80s and 90s comedy channel FOX HITS and FOX CLASSICS will be available to customers in High Definition.
*The new FOX channels will also result in other changes. FOX FUNNY and FOX HITS will take the place of 111 FUNNY while FOX CRIME will replace TVH!TS and with three FOX flagship channels, Binge will also be removed.
I'm confused now with all these new names for old channels with some getting removed.
It all sound so messy!
Most customers won't know which channels belongs to which package now.
If you're going to keep on chopping and changing channels then at least get rid of the many packages.
With so many other simple streaming services on the horizon, Foxtel need to simplify their product and get on board with the runaway train. 😋
I have no trouble at all with the names of the new channels, just disappointed they are not all in HD. However I DO have a big problem with the re-branding of the Lifestyle channels! Why on earth is Foxtel now branding these channels as "What women want"? I watch these channels and I'm not ashamed to say I also watch Arena. IMO in 2019 this is just so stupid! Over to you Paige. 😁

Not commenting on the lifestyle part of it - that's simply weird, but four new channels is a good step forward.
In a nutshell, channels removed -
Binge (HD), Comedy 111 (SD), TV Hits (SD).
Channels added -
Fox One (HD), Fox Comedy (HD), Fox Hits (SD), Fox Crime (HD)
So, 2 extra HD channels and an extra channel. Clarity about what's on them. And the one in SD is for 80s and 90s comedy so it's okay I guess.
Are all the re branded channels, going to be available in the basic package?
Let's hope the change of name also means change of programs there's only so much Law & order CSI and Frasier I can stomach
I would rather be able to select the channels I want, rather than pay for something that's in a package that'll I never watch, for example the religious channels
They are new channels but the same old programs being repeated over again. It's about time Foxtel got some new updated programs and movies that haven't been repeated umpteen times eg Sound of Music. After all we pay top dollar to see the same things.
You have too many confusing channels isn't fox classics the same as 111 shouldn't you just merge the channels and comedy channels the same as 111. Look I think you need to simplify you channel line up Drama One and Drama two, Comedy one and Comedy two and so forth where the two becomes the overflow channel Chreme a la crem at the one and left overs on two merge alike channels with each other. You really dont need to repeat shows like Seinfeld the same episode 4 times a day because each channel should have enough content for the whole day. Right now what we have is repetition x4, 2, 3 episodes of the same show surely with IQ4 and recording episodes and catchup we don't need this repetitive crap anymore. And you know what I would like on nights like New Year's Eve all the channels do something New Year's Eve related at midnight it doensnt have to fireworks at Sydney harbour but a message or something that celebrates New Year's Day.

Oxford University Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust (OUH) provides a wide range of general and specialised healthcare services and employs over 11,700 staff primarily across four hospital sites. It provides over 90 different clinical specialties which are grouped into 5 clinical divisions.
The challenge
The Trusts Human Resources department has historically produced workforce plans (WPs) in relative isolation from clinical services in response to a number of external drivers including NHS Improvement and Health Education Thames Valley (HETV). The plans developed provided a top down workforce numbers vision of their future workforce requirements.
OUH recognised this was not the most effective way of workforce planning; they needed to engage staff from across their divisions including clinicians, service and finance leads to explore the workforce options to support both sustainability and transformation in response to the challenges they were facing. They also needed to become more forward thinking and better prepared to ensure they have the workforce required to realise the future vision and aspirations of the organisation.
OUH approached Skills for Health to work with them to;
- Review their workforce planning processes, systems and data quality currently being used
- Facilitate the development of an OUH integrated 5 year WP (2016-2021) utilising Skills for Health's Six Step Integrated Methodology for Workforce Planning
- Develop OUH bespoke tools to support the process and facilitate reiteration of the WPs on an annual basis
- Build the capacity and capability across the Divisions to effectively WP in the future.
The Trust's intention was that this would improve the sophistication and quality of its workforce planning processes to the future benefit of Clinical Commissioning Groups, HETV and OUH itself.
How they did it
Workforce Diagnostic
Skills for Health's consultants worked with OUH staff to:
- Assess the data systems used to record, monitor, audit, develop and report on the workforce position across the Trust using Skills for Health's workforce data diagnostic tools
- Interview a diverse range of staff from across the organisation using the Skills for Health Workforce Planning Diagnostic Framework to identify the Trust's current culture and capability around workforce planning
The information gathered from the diagnostics was used to develop a report identifying the WP challenges and barriers and to highlight areas of good practice. Key recommendations for areas of improvement were also made.
Developing the Integrated Workforce plan
Delivered through a facilitated workshop approach Skills for Health's utilised the Six Step Methodology for Integrated Workforce Planning with each Division to support them to develop their own WP over a period of 3 months.
Each Division was provided with a set of templates to capture the narrative and workforce numbers which formed the basis of their WP.
This approach ensured consistency across the organisation and enabled divisional workforce plans to be brought together into an overarching OUH integrated workforce plan. Divisional teams completing the work required between workshops with support from SFH as required.
Skills for Health also delivered webinars for the Divisional Human Resources Business Partners (HRBPs) to build their workforce planning knowledge and discuss issues and challenges as they arose.
Once all divisions had submitted their workforce numbers, Skills for Health brought the divisional plans together into an overarching workforce plan for OUH. Highlighting patterns of growth and development and providing analysis of the changes to the workforce that were in the WPs.
A final workshop with the HRBPs and the Deputy Director of Workforce and Organisational Development focussed on:
- Reviewing the collated OUH workforce plan and its projected effect on the workforce configuration over the next 5 years
- Bringing together the key workforce challenges
- Identifying the major service changes and the associated workforce implications
- Sharing of the workforce changes that have potential to improve productivity
- Areas of workforce innovation such as new role developments and new ways of working
- Cross organisational themes
- Next steps including drawing out interdependencies, validation, and quality assurance
The Outcomes
There have been a number of key outcomes from the project for OUH, these include;
- OUH has developed its first 5 year Integrated Workforce Plan with engagement from across all Divisions including clinical and service leads.
- Their current workforce plan has been developed to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders that require workforce plan information from the organisation including HETV, Trust Development Authority and Monitor.
- For the first time OUH have a workforce plan that is linked to service development, is based upon evidence of best practice in workforce utilisation and provides a clear rationale for change linking with their financial projections and assumptions.
- OUH has a workforce methodology and process that they are confident they can integrate into their annual planning cycle going forward
- The profile of workforce planning has been raised across the Trust with staff at a local level. Staff from a wide range of departments are now keen to engage with future WPs.
- The project has highlighted the importance of building upon the WP capacity and capability created by the project to ensure the learning can be cascaded and more staff can engage in future workforce planning exercises.
- Sharing Divisional Level WPs at a final workshop enabled identification of important areas of organisational interdependencies and enabled the identification of opportunities for further cross working and collaboration to develop effective workforce solutions.
'The outputs of the project have exceeded our expectations; it has enabled us to be in a position to embed workforce planning into the business planning cycle across the organisation. We also recognise the need to develop more capacity and capability in workforce planning in order to build upon the project and identify more areas where transformation of our workforce would be beneficial.'

Skip to 0 minutes and 4 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: Today, I'm in central London and standing outside the headquarters of the Legal Services Board, the overarching regulator of legal services in England and Wales. We're going to go inside and speak with Caroline Wallace, the LSB's director of strategy, about her views on legal services and on the future of legal services regulation. Caroline, thanks so much for agreeing to speak with us today. Can you tell us a little bit, please, about the work of the Legal Services Board?
Skip to 0 minutes and 28 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: The Legal Services Board is the independent body that oversees the regulation of legal services in England and Wales. We hold to account the regulators for legal services, which includes the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bystanders Board. But we also have a very important role in driving positive change in the sector to achieve a modern and effective legal services market that better meets the needs of consumers, while also functioning in the public interest.
Skip to 1 minute and 0 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: And what would you say is the purpose of legal services regulation? Who is it there to protect?
Skip to 1 minute and 5 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: Well, I think that's a very interesting question, and we think there are two reasons. Firstly, there are some very important public interest outcomes that we're asking the legal services sector to deliver. Those are things like the rule of law and effective and efficient administration of justice. Secondly, there is inherent power and knowledge imbalance between consumers and practitioners in this sector. That's why laypeople consult experts who have specialist knowledge. But when there is that kind of power imbalance, consumers are particularly vulnerable. For example, it's very hard for them to know about the quality of the service that they're receiving.
Skip to 1 minute and 49 seconds Also, it's possible in those circumstances for a single rogue practitioner to undermine the profession and the reputation of the profession as a whole and to actually deter consumers from buying legal services.
Skip to 2 minutes and 3 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: What would you say are some of the biggest challenges that you face as a regulator?
Skip to 2 minutes and 7 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: Since the Legal Services Act was passed in 2007, the pace of improvement from a consumer's point of view has been really quite slow. There are some indications of things getting better. There is a little bit more shopping around. There is slightly better transparency of prices. But the changes have been very small, and the pace of change is very slow. Other things which create challenges for us as an oversight regulator is the number of separate legal services regulators that we oversee. I think it's eight or nine. And they cover a really greatly differentiated sector with barristers, solicitors, but also notaries, and legal executives and there are licensed conveyances, and intellectual property lawyers as well.
Skip to 2 minutes and 51 seconds So it's a great diversity amongst the community that we oversee. And last but not least, one of the challenges that we're facing is the Legal Service Act 2007 in itself. And we very much support the need in the case for a thorough overhaul of that legislation.
Skip to 3 minutes and 8 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: If we could talk a little bit more about the Legal Services Act– how challenging do you find it when there are eight objectives in an act, and those objectives aren't ranked?
Skip to 3 minutes and 18 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: Having clear regulatory objectives is obviously very important for a regulator. They set the boundary and purpose for the regulators work. And there is no doubt about it that eight regulatory objectives, which aren't in any kind of hierarchy, do make it difficult for a regulator. It makes it difficult to know what you should focus on. I've been in regulation for many years, and I think experienced regulators are used to resolving tensions between different regulatory objectives. That's often what regulators are doing across the economy. And it can allow greater flexibility.
Skip to 3 minutes and 55 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: The LSB is said to be independent of the government and of the legal profession. What does that mean?
Skip to 4 minutes and 1 second CAROLINE WALLACE: What that means is that our regulatory decisions and policy development are free and seemed to be free of undue influence from both government and the profession. And it's achieved through our statutory framework and our funding in governance arrangements. Independence from government has a special significance in the legal services sector as you can imagine. Because citizens who are in dispute with the state need to know that their legal representative is not being controlled by the state. That's one key element– absolutely critical element– of the rule of law.
Skip to 4 minutes and 39 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: So next year is 10 years since the anniversary of the Legal Services Act 2007. What would you say are the benefits the act has brought over those 10 years?
Skip to 4 minutes and 48 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: The Legal Services Board carries out an evaluation of the market every three years to see how well the regulatory objectives set out in the Legal Services Act are being achieved. Our latest evaluation was published earlier this year, and its main findings were that there are positive developments in terms of competition but very slow pace of improvements in outcomes for consumers. In terms of access to legal services, the research shows that the same proportion of people are taking action when they're faced with a legal issue, but more consumers now than in the past are handing their matter alone rather than seeking advice, which is a cause for some concern.
Skip to 5 minutes and 30 seconds More positively, the data shows that the quality of legal services has been maintained since the market was liberalized and even, in many areas, has actually improved. So that's encouraging.
Skip to 5 minutes and 41 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: If we think about the future, how do you think the Legal Services Act could be changed for the better?
Skip to 5 minutes and 46 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: The key elements of what we're suggesting are, first of all, that there should be one overarching regulatory objective, which is to safeguard the public interest by protecting consumers and ensuring the delivery of outcomes in the interests of society as a whole. Another element of what we're proposing is that there should be activity-based regulation according to the risk of the activity being undertaken, rather than the current blanket regulation by professional title. We think there should be full regulatory independence from both government and the profession, which is something that the Legal Services Act doesn't achieve.
Skip to 6 minutes and 24 seconds They should also be an independent sector-specific consumer voice for the sector given the special nature of the sector and importance of hearing the consumer perspective. And last but not least, to deliver all of that, we think there should be one regulator for all of legal services rather than the current fragmented multi-regulator approach.
Skip to 6 minutes and 45 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: How do you think the legal services landscape might look in the future? Do you think it's going to be very different from what we have today?
Skip to 6 minutes and 52 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: Absolutely. I think it's probably going to be very different. And many commentators agree on that, although they disagree about the details of what it might look like. For me, I would highlight the impact of changes in technology and changes in consumer behavior across the economy, which are certainly going to be felt in legal services just like they're felt everywhere else. And that includes the rise of a desire among some consumers to, what we would call, "self-lawyering." But there are also market changes going on, which will have quite an impact I think. Things like the erosion of traditional professional boundaries– in the past, I think a solicitor was a solicitor.
Skip to 7 minutes and 32 seconds And a barrister was a barrister, and never the twain shall meet. And we are seeing more legal disciplinary practices, more multi-disciplinary practices right across different professional groups. I think lawyers will face a more challenging and businesslike environment for a lot– not necessarily all– but a lot of the work that they do as well.
Skip to 7 minutes and 49 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: So I'd like to end with a rather open-ended question. Next week in the course, we're going to be looking at lawyers ethics. And so my question is this– how would you describe an ethical lawyer?
Skip to 7 minutes and 59 seconds CAROLINE WALLACE: Well, I like Potter Stewart's take on ethics. And what he said is that ethics is knowing the difference between what we have a right to do and what is right to do. And that seems quite profound to me. Ethics are obviously critical for lawyers, and they're something we, at the LSB, believe in passionately. Lawyers are in a position of trust, and they also have wider duties to the public interest, which we've mentioned earlier in the interview and to the court. So all legal services regulators including the LSB have a regulatory objective of promoting and maintaining adherence to the professional principles. And the Legal Services Act goes as far as setting out those professional principles in statute.
Skip to 8 minutes and 47 seconds And they cover things like acting with independence and integrity, proper standards of work, acting in the best interest of clients, maintaining confidentiality, and respecting the duty to the court. So ethics are actually enshrined in my view as part of the legal framework for regulation of legal services, and I think it's critical to remember that there is no inherent conflict between being and acting as an ethical lawyer and market liberalization. Our research here at the LSB has shown that since the market was liberalized there has been no collapse in professional ethics. And in fact, things like some of the quality indicators and quality of services provided are improving.
Skip to 9 minutes and 31 seconds And some of the new business structures are better, for example, at complaints handling than traditional firms.
Skip to 9 minutes and 36 seconds STEVEN VAUGHAN: That's great. Thank you so much for your time.
The legal services board
Watch this video in which Steven talks to Caroline Wallace, Director of Strategy at the Legal Services Board. See if you can connect the discussion to the issues in the regulation of legal services we have already looked at on this course.
Caroline Wallace leads the LSB's policy, research, statutory decision, investigation and enforcement work. She is responsible for producing the LSB's strategic plan and ensuring that the LSB's strategic priorities are reflected across all the LSB's activities. She joined the LSB in 2014 from the Competition Commission (now the Competition and Markets Authority). She spent nearly nine years at the Competition Commission as an Inquiry Director, where she was responsible for merger and market investigations under the Enterprise Act, and led investigations in a very wide range of sectors, including transport, chemicals, food, financial services, IT and construction. Before the Competition Commission, Caroline spent five years at Oftel, as the Chief Engineering Advisor, and then at Ofcom where she was a Director of Competition Policy. Prior to joining Oftel, Caroline worked in the private sector in telecoms and manufacturing.

I have an application that downloads a large zip file via FTP and then extracts it to the local machine. I have upgraded a VS2005 project (Chilkat 2.0) to VS2013 (Chilkat 4.5). I have noticed that the ftp OnPercentDone event is not being fired for the ftp2 object. It is firing OK for the zip object. This is my code. In both instances, I am setting the EnableEvents property to True and the ftp2.Connect and the zip.OpenZip methods are returning True. Any ideas as to why the ftp2 OnPercentDone event is not firing?
The EnableEvents is no longer needed (and will be removed in a future version), so it's not the problem.
It's likely that the FTP server is not providing any size information in the intermediate reply for the download. Try setting the AutoGetSizeForProgress property = true so that Chilkat explicitly retrieves the remote file size prior to the download (so that it can track percentage completion).
Also take a good look at the parameters for your override:
void PercentDone(int pctDone, bool *abort)
I believe some time ago it used to be
void PercentDone(long pctDone, bool *abort)
so you may think you override the method but you are'nt anymore.

I seriously couldn't be more proud of him for going back to school
he took a couple years off and decided to go back once Lexi was born
He has surprised me with so many things in life,
but this is one thing that I couldn't be more proud of
he has had so many accomplishments these past couple of years
he is so motivated and is without a doubt going to be successful
in whatever he decides to do because of his driven attitude, and i love that about him!
We aren't quite sure what our path in life is after this,
but we have more than a couple of options we have brewing in our heads.
We get to start 2013 fresh..
two graduates, and one little girl to show for.
and we couldn't be happier!!
After graduation was over,
we had a nice little snow fall & headed to dinner
where there was a santa floating around
lexi kept getting so excited every time she saw
that's what she calls Santa
she likes him more at waving distance though :)

The most rare and unusual Pets
People all over the planet give birth to a pet. In recent times dogs and cats have long been accustomed to, so many are trying to start up a home something more exotic and unusual. Sometimes Pets become animals, which under normal circumstances are hard to imagine in such a role. In this article we will talk about five of the most unusual Pets.
Five will open by wolves. Since wolves and dogs are very close "relatives", many people naively believe that the wolf will be as easy to domesticate and keep as a security guard. In fact, even captive-bred wolves remain wild and totally unpredictable. The infamous example of American Sarah of Pisan that was attacked by her own wolves that lived in her home since birth. The history of domestication of Sandra wolf pack, despite warnings from friends and relatives, ended very, very badly.
The fourth position belongs to the crocodiles. Though we all know that crocodile is a perfect killing machine with lightning-fast movements and razor sharp teeth, someone still manages to keep them at home. In 1996 this luberculosis Wiki Loving. According to her, the crocodile, called later, johnny came to her house and did not want to leave. Since then, johnny and Vicki have lived as good neighbours for almost 18 years. Continue reading
10 most expensive Pets. These Pets can be ruined.
For each owner his pet is the most expensive in the world. Even if it was an ordinary stray dog or a kitten from the street. But with how much money people are willing to give up to purchase a pet? Edition Ofigenno.cc did a review of 10 most expensive animals in the world, which can be purchased legally.
And the list doesn't contain the albino tigers or record of the Arab horses. It will be about small animals that can be kept in almost every home.
Bengal house cat Price for this sweet kitty ranges from 1 to 3 thousand dollars. These animals appeared in 1961 as a result of crossing domestic cats and, in fact, wild Bengal cats. As a result of long hard work of breeders managed to bring a sustainable breed of domestic Bengal cats. Cats of this breed are famous for their leopard-spotted coat and excellent hunting instincts.
Japanese macaques are the Most cold resistant monkey in the world is worth at least 3 thousand dollars. These monkeys live in forests of Japan, and can well endure the winter with an average temperature of 5 degrees below zero. Macaques are good at swimming and particularly cold winter I like to warm up in the hot springs. Recently, these animals were listed in the international Red book. However, after receiving a special permit, nonpriority legally.
Bichon Lyon, or lion dog funny These dogs were once listed in the Guinness Book of records as the rarest breed of dog. Although the breed has been known since the middle Ages to the twentieth century are forgotten, and lion dogs almost disappeared completely. Over time, their population was restored, however, the price still remains exclusive. For a good purebred puppy lion dog asking from 3 to 7 thousand dollars. Continue reading
Feeding puppies Shar-Pei – Theory and practice
Some people think that a Shar Pei is a very difficult, painful breed that they will not be fed with meat that they have such terrible allergies, and generally people with power. On the other hand, quite often I hear from owners that the dog was being fed soup, dumplings, pasta and as a treat, complete dry food of dubious quality.
So, how to organize the feeding of Pei . This question can rightly be attributed to dogs of any other breed. After all, the Shar Pei is a normal dog, the predator, and its digestive system different from the digestive system of dogs, lapdogs or wolf. However, there are of course some nuances. So historically, traditionally in China, drink (like most other Asian breeds of dogs) eat meat-vegetarian diet. Under natural conditions, the basis of the power of Chinese dogs (Shar Pei, Chow-Chow, etc.) are small rodents, inside which were filled with partially digested grass, plants, roots, fruits. Ie dogs consume less animal protein, vegetable protein, carbohydrates, fiber and they were all healthy and happy. How can we ensure that like to feed the Shar-Pei ?
You can try to imitate the natural food to feed the Shar – Pei raw meat products, mixed vegetables, a small amount of boiled cereals, mainly rice.
When this person proportions usually are: meat 30-40%, vegetables-fruit 30-40%, grains 20-30%. For the meat component of the better alternate as muscle meat (can be inexpensive – of the peritoneum, cheek), offal – tripe (green unbrushed, 1-2 times per week), Celtic, lungs, heart, liver (caution-can be used to induce diarrhea), kidneys, testes, tails, trachea, cartilage, etc. From chicken by-products are suitable Continue reading

|Mobility Support in TVWS with Multiple Geo-Location Capability

|Abstract :
|In this paper, we investigate a mobility procedure for mode II personal/portable TV Band Devices (TVBDs). There is a possibility of forced termination probability (FTP) or blocking probability (BP) in the TV White Space (TVWS) while portable TVBDs are moving. This is because the availability of TVWS is dependent on the location and time schedule of licensed devices and other unlicensed networks. In order to support mobility efficiently, the concept of multiple geo-location capability of the FCC's rule is introduced. The mobility of multiple geo-location capability is evaluated compared to single geo-location capability. In addition, we investigate on which multiple access technique is better for portable TVBD networks considering a mobile TVWS environment. To reduce the outage probability of Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) which could not obtain diversity from soft handover, we propose a handover procedure based on subcarrier selection scheme. Simulation results show that the multiple geo-location capability enhances the mobility in terms of FTP, BP and delay. It is also shown that the proposed handover procedure using the multiple geolocation capability reduces the outage probability by obtaining the selection diversity.
