Rev. W. & Mrs. Hardwick
I well remember that one of the most acceptable preachers in the little Mission Room behind the then Temperance Hall in Spittal-st., was Mrs. Hardwick, who generally came in a cab and had to be helped up the narrow path into the room where we all sat waiting expectantly. She and her husband, the Rev. William Hardwick, were well-known persons in Malton and Norton in the fifties, and as their life work was so entirely one I include both of them in one article. The Rev. Wm. Hardwick was a type of the old-fashioned minister who donned the black silk cravat now superseded by the deep clerical collar, but even in the cravat Mr. Hardwick was distinctly ecclesiastical in appearance. He was born at Swinton on 9 March, 1801; was brought up a Primitive Methodist; and was one of its itinerant ministers for fifteen years. During this time he frequently walked ten to twenty miles a day on the Sunday and preached three times, besides preaching and visiting during the week. Few modern ministers essay such a task!
In the year 1838, after preaching on the sands at Cromer, in Norfolk, a lady presented Mr. Hardwick with a tract on Baptism (written by the Rev. T. Bane), and after perusing this, and the scripture "proofs," he identified himself with the Baptist denomination. He was baptised by Mr. Bane and began his work as a Baptist minister at Brooke. After three years' residence there he removed to Kilham, and then to Malton, where he was ordained in 1844, and remained pastor for six years. He then went to Gretton, in Northamptonshire, and later to Uppingham, where ill-health compelled him to resign his charge and return to Malton.
His pastorate at Malton commenced in 1843. One of his most appreciated sermons was preached from Rev. Xxii., 2, "The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." He applied his text to each type of hearer, and would look direct at them, uttering the words, "and there's a leaf for thee, and a leaf for thee also …" No doubt some of the audience found the opportunity not a little embarrassing! Mr. William Hardwick was a diligent and devout student of the Scriptures, and a man of great faith and prayer. He has frequently been known to spend three hours together on his knees, praying for people and causes. He died in 1870, aged 69 years.
Mr. Hardwick was blessed with a most helpful life-partner during his ministerial career, for his wife was one with him in all his work, a favourite preacher for miles around. Her services were in great request, and several of my readers will remember hearing her preach and give addresses. It is said that on one occasion Mr. Hardwick had to apologise at a morning service because his wife was unable to preach in the evening! The Malton Baptist Chapel used at times to be crowded with those who had come to hear her eloquent presentation of Gospel truth.
Mrs. Hardwick was a well-known and busy temperance worker, and very frequently addresses meetings in the old Adult School and the Temperance Hall. On more than one occasion she conducted Temperance missions in the theatre. She died in 1887.

George Hardy
Of all Maltonians none impressed me more than did the late Mr. George Hardy. His fine figure, autocratic manner, resonant voice, and his reputation as a schoolmaster (my father was one of his pupils) combined to exalt him in my eyes to an eminence above that occupied by the then Earl Fitzwilliam (whom I never remember seeing), and all our local nobility. George Hardy was born in October, 1813, his grandfather being a Lincolnshire farmer. His father, Thomas Hardy, got employment on the farm of Mr. Monkman, of Wharram Percy, a member of an old and influential family of the yeoman class, whose farm was one of the largest in the neighbourhood of Malton and Driffield. Thomas Hardy had not been there long before he ran away with and married Miss Frances Monkman, the daughter of his employer. George, their son, was sent to a Norton school kept by a well-known schoolmaster of the old class - Mr. Wood. After leaving this rather primitive place of education, he went to an uncle, a farmer near Lincoln, where he attended the Grammar School. Having shown great promise as a scholar, he decided to become a teacher and began work in the then famous school in King-st., Scarborough. At that time the town of Scarborough terminated at the Bar, between which and the small village of Falsgrave were fields and plantations. The North Cliff was bare, bleak, and desolate, and the South Cliff was a barren expanse of poor land without any building whatever. George Hardy's next situation was that of head teacher to Captain Darling, who kept a private boarding school at Thorpebassett, where one of his boys was Mr. Jefferson, the chemist, who preceded Mr. Buckle in the Market-place. After leaving Captain Darling's, he commenced a day school in Malton, and from the beginning to the end of his scholastic career his school was always full. Soon after this he accepted from Mr. Comber, the actuary of the Savings Bank, a situation as assistant clerk, and on his chief's death was almost unanimously elected by the directors and trustees as the manager, or actuary, which position he held for above fifty years. Mr. Hardy married Ann Wrangham, the eldest daughter of Mr. Joseph Wrangham, chemist, of Malton, who was one of the best known and most highly respected inhabitants of the town. By her he had two sons, who continued the old established business of their grandfather and uncle, and who also acquired the businesses of Jas. Atkinson, chemist; Charles Hartley, chemist (brother to the "old doctor"); and Geo. Foster, aerated water manufacturer, and amalgamated them with their own, trading as "Wrangham and Hardy," a firm widely known in the district, in the premises now occupied by Messrs. Wray and Thompson. In the year 1874, Mr. Hardy gave up his school, retaining the management of the Savings Bank. On his resignation the scholars presented him with a signed address and a silver jug, as a small token of their esteem and respect. Mr. Hardy acted as auditor for several Malton institutions and for the Pickering Savings Bank, and helped to wind up that institution several years ago. All kinds of people used to call on him for financial advice. His caution in advising others was as great as his want of it in his own affairs. The shipping craze which made many victims in Malton three or four decades ago, found in him an ardent follower and a persistent loser-hopeful to the last. In 1895, owing to advancing years and comparative ill health, he retired from his position of actuary to the Savings Bank, and lived for some time at the house over Russell's Brewery in Castlegate, where he died in his 84th year, and was buried with every token of respect in a family vault in Old Malton Churchyard.

Dr Hartley
All Malton mourned Dr Hartley dead, but what is more remarkable, all Malton honoured him when living. He was years in front of his profession, although wanting in the medical degree required today. But his character was even greater than his skill, so that a few minutes' chat with the 'Old Doctor,' as he came to be called by everyone, often proved better than any amount of physic! His belief in fresh air and water would astonish some today who think they are leaders in this idea. I remember that in a modest home whose windows he had ordered to be left open, the patient rebelled - but to little purpose, for when the Doctor next called his fist went through the nearest window in a twinkling, payment for the breakage followed that same evening! He stood over six feet, was erect as a silver birch, generally wore a frock coat in which his body was closely imprisoned, possessed an eye-glass which are used on solemn occasions, and had a direct, bluff way with him. He walked very briskly, as if that day was the last he had on earth, but long distances were down in a disreputable carriage, the scientific name of which I hardly dare venture upon. The horses he drove revealed the only fault in his character, for they were discreditable to a horse loving district, and gained him the terrible nickname of 'Kill-Horse-Joe!' When a young man, Doctor Hartley's hair and beard were black as jet. When old halo of white surrounded his head - and surely no Saint in the calendar deserved it more! He was so little with the Paul, never being known to send an appeal to anyone really in when a young man, Doctor Hartley's hair and beard were black as jet. When old halo of white surrounded his head– and surely no Saint in the calendar deserved it more! He was so little with the Paul, never being known to send an appeal to anyone really in what, that his fellow practitioners were not very pleased with him - and no wonder either. When, however, he was dealing with people who could pay and it gave little thought to his convenience or time, they could charge with the best of them. One bad winters day he was summoned to a remote Dale, which he reached with difficulty through a terrible snowstorm. On his return he said to a friend, they had only overeaten themselves. If they had really wanted me at all, any time this week would've done. They will have to pay for it, though! If people would insist upon medicine when this was not needed, they would obey their request - but with coloured water! The surgery looked as if spring cleaning was unknown, and the waiting room were still worse, especially as the upholstery was something wonderful to behold. The old doctors treatment of his many and varied patients was discriminating, and in many cases even remarkable. To the most ignorant sufferer he could explain what it was absolutely necessary to know in order the proper treatment might be given, and he was a real tonic to the depressed. Young lady patient, very fearful about her heart, was reassured class; bless me, child, you've got a heart that will last few longer than you want to live exclamation. The old doctor was born in 1817, and died in 1902 at Brook Bank, Norton. In 1884 he was made a justice of the peace of the North Riding, and in 1889 he became Malton's representative on the North Riding county council. To mourn his loss he left a widow and daughters - and many times that number of townships. SPECTATOR Maltonians of Bygone Days, I, Yorkshire Gazette, December 5th 1910
Dr Alfred Hartley
Before the Old Doctor passed away, beloved of all classes in our town, Dr. Alfred had taken upon his own back the burden of the wide practice which the Hartleys enjoyed. He was not so self-revealing as his father; also he lacked that quality of brusqueness which usually accompanies a direct and frank power of expressions. Neither, of ocurse, had he that fund of experience of medicine, and especially of human nature, which the Old Doctor possessed in such a remarkable degree. This is not said in depreciation of Dr. Alfred Hartley. No two men have the same qualities, and there were elements in the son's character which were not so well represented in that of the father. The former was, of course, better acquainted with modern methods. Certainly he took more care of his horses! and possibly he was more painstaking than his father, at any rate in cases which were not of the most urgent type. Dr. Alfred suffered a serious handicap in what was apparently excessive shyness. He would bolt upstairs to a room of a patient, and as quickly beat a retreat - just as if he were frightened to be found on the premises! Indeed it was almost impossible for any but strong-minded relatives to obtain a proper consultation with him. When he had to deal with shy patients, or their friends, the situation had an element of humour in it. I suppose that a doctor never ought to be shy or nervous - and yet the profession would have been without some of its great ornaments if this supposition of mine had been an actual law! Dr. Alfred grew to middle age, and passed it wothout people realising that he was becoming an elderly man. You see, the Old Doctor was still in people's minds (as he is today), and Dr. Alfred sat his back so straight, walked so erect, showed as few signs of age save in his whitening hair, that it came as quite a shock to realise that "young Mr. Alfred" was now becoming an old man. That he was unmarried accentuated the point. Just when the fact of his increasing age was dawning upon us in Malton, we lost his presence alltogether. I remember seeing him on horseback on the Broughton road, and thinking what a perfect English gentlemen he looked and how happy a man must be who, like him, spends his life in all ?ting human pain; and then, when next Dr. Alfred engaged my attention, it was in connection with his very serious illness, followed almost immediately by death. It appeared that he had not been well, yet he'd persisted in riding out some distance to see a patient. This had increased the severity of his own malady, which quickly gained power and laid him low. It is easy to write these words, but hard to be content with such a result of faithful work, at any rate until one comes back to thoughts of the Great Healer, who is losing His life really gained it - and that of millions of others too. I suppose a story similar to this might be told of many country - and town - medical practitioners, but if so it will never weary us. Sometimes we find fault with our doctors. We are not always able to take that view of their disinterested-ness which Ruskin gave us in "Unto This Last." It is, therefore, well when we can dwell, as happily we in Malton often can do, on the self-sacrifice of one and another of their body. Malton may be glad that she has had such a son - and such a father! He died on 16 January, 1907. SPECTATOR Bygone Maltonians, No 4, Yorkshire Gazette, 21st October 1911
Robert Hatfield
c1809-1891 Buried at Old Malton, 21st September 1891, aged 82, grocer and provision merchant of Malton. Oldest tradesman in the borough, had raised himself from comparative poverty to affluence. Although well-known he took no part in public matters, being of a quiet, retiring disposition. He was throughout his life a staunch Liberal and a Primitive Methodist. He succumbed to paralysis, to which he had been a victim for three years past. White's 1867 directory lists Robert's shop as being in Finkle street. In later years he ran the business with his son, also Robert. Kelly's 1889 directory states they had a shop in Wheelgate.
Report: York Herald, 22 September 1891.
John Hide
Among the most useful people in our little town we must surely reckon the barber. He makes the toiler spick and span at the end of the week, sends the prosperous tradesman on his way rejoicing with smooth chin every morning, and is called in at that dread moment when, life having gone, it is desired that the face upon which relatives and friends look for the last time shall be seen as neatly as possible as it was in life. Then too, the barber cuts our hair when we have any, and then we become bald makes feint to do the same with what is left! Mr. John Hide was one of Malton's great barbers, as was his father, William Hide, before him, and his brother Frank. But he was more than this. We youngsters who went or were taken to Mrs. Hide's shop for fireworks, balls, and those miscellaneous things of which children are so fond - we youngsters had never a glimmering of the fact that Mr. Hide was fond of music (although we saw accordions, and tambourines, and fifes, and concertinas piled up on the shop shelves), or that he was attached to angling (although good fishing rods were purchasable there too). It is, however, a fact that both these businesses were inspired by the barber, who was a very fair naturalist, a good mechanic, and in all things an extremely intelligent man. In addition to being an excellent instrumentalist, Mr. Hide showed much ingenuity in the able way in which he mended fiddles. To his care was consigned the famous 'cello played by old Bobby Leng, and now possessed by Mrs. Hide. The town missed Mr. Hide when he died rather suddenly in January of 1902. He had been with an excursion to Leeds, and came back very cold and utterly exhausted. As he was sitting down to supper he fell, and so passed away. It is a matter of satisfaction, to us at any rate who love our old town, that Mrs. Hide is still able to preside over the Wheelgate shop, and that children yet wander there to buy similar things to those we went after so eagerly in our own youth.

William Hodgson
Fame is earned in many ways. Sometimes the title is given far too easily, whilst at other times it is wrongly withheld. Looking back upon the history of our tow, I am inclined to think that Mr. William Hodgson did more good in and near Malton than many men whose names are far better known. So far as I know, he made no fortune. In one sense, he did not initiate anything, nor did he reveal any brilliant social gifts which caused him to be remembered. On the other hand, he certainly left his mark on the agricultural trade of the district by developing the Farmers' Manure Company, with which he became so intimately associated - one of the best and most useful institutions of the kind in the North of England. Mr. Hodgson was born at Whitby in 1836, and came to our town twenty-eight years later. For a score of years he acted as book-keeper for Messrs. James Russell and Sons, millers and brewers, and then, on the death of Mr. Edward S. Tayler, he succeeded to the secretaryship (which is also the managership) of the Malton Farmers' Manure Co. Those who knew him most of his work there said that he was built for the post inasmuch as he proved exceptionally successful in it, owing, possibly, to his considerable scientific attainments and his knowledge of agriculture and mechanics. He was, I believe, the first person who introduced the electric light into Malton, at any rate in a practical form; and, inspire of the eulogies on gas which the present chairman of the Malton Gas Co. regularly utters at its annual meetings, no one can deny that we are much better for having the light instituted in the town. Mr. Hodgson was often asked to deliver addresses to farmers' clubs at Malton, Sherburn, Stamford Bridge, Sheriff Hutton, Bridlington, and other places; and he took an active part in the deliberations of the Malton Naturalists' Society. I think he continued to be slightly interested in the chipping trade of Whitby; at any rate in a sentimental sense. In one concern he did not prove successful - the effort to revive the biscuit industry in Malton. The complete story of that attempt and its failure has not yet been told. When this is stone, we shall probably find that no blame attached to that part of the work which Mr. Hodgson did. Mr. Hodgson did not take any prominent part in the politics of our town. His business interests absorbed his time, with the exception that he was a loyal member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and was one of those all too few persons who construe membership to mean responsibility. In accordance with this feeling, he accepted the position of "manager" of their Day Schools, and he frequently took the chair at public meetings of the Wesleyan body; he also delivered several lectures on their behalf. His death occurred in September, 1902, at the age of sixty-six, and the funeral took place at Whitby. He left widow (who died in 1906) and one son, Mr. G.W. Hodgson, who now practises as a solicitor in London and Whitby.

John Hopkins
The Borough Bailiff of Malton was an awesome figure to me when I was a boy. He was the personification of Rule. Queen Victoria was too remote from Malton and me to count, and I had not then heard of the Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire, neither was there any County Council to provide a chairman to look up to. Consequently, Mr. John Hopkins, the then holder of the ancient office of borough bailiff of Malton, was a person of consequence in my and other people's eyes, and I felt it to be a great honour when he asked me to visit him at this house on the Brows, and was shown the nest which a precocious thrush had built in the letter-box in the heavy garden door. In later days Mr. Hopkins lived at the Croft, Old Malton, where there still reside his daughter, Mrs. John Abbott, and most of her family. The last time I remember talking to Mr. Hopkins was in the meadow at the bottom of the beautiful garden there. Mr. John Hopkins was born at Cross Hills, Morley, near Leeds, and began his business life with the Priestmans, of Thornton. His connection with Malton commenced with the establishment of a courier and leather merchants' business, of which he made a thorough success. He was joined in this venture by his cousin, Mr. Thomas Hopkins, who will be affectionately remembered by those Maltonians who had the privilege of his friendship in the days when he had lost his sight and was afflicted with deafness. Other business enterprises had the support of Mr. John Hopkins, notably the Malton and Driffield railway line and the Malton and North Grimston Lime Company - the latter now owned by his grandson, Mr. Robert Abbott. He took an active part in the public work of the town and neighbourhood, joining the Board of Guardians on its formation in 1836 and remaining a member to the time of his death. He was vice-chairman of the Board for a number of years. From 1854 to 1885 he was an active member of the Malton Local Board, acting as chairman for some time, and taking special interest in the water supply scheme. He cut the first sod of the reservoir, some 48 years ago. Mr. Hopkins, like so many other members of the Society of Friends, was much interested in education and was one of the managers of the British School. He was treasurer of the Malton branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society, a supporter of the Malton Dispensary, and much interested in all philanthropic movements. On the death of Mr. Henry Jackson, in 1864, Mr. Hopkins was appointed the borough bailiff of Malton, in which capacity he became the returning officer at Parliamentary elections and the resident head of the community. The office lost its dignity when Malton ceased to be a Parliamentary Borough. Every Sunday morning regularly as clockwork Mr. Hopkins was to be seen, in company with his unmarried daughter, who now, I believe, lives at Harrogate, walking through the open door (since replaced by an iron gate) leading along a flagged way to the Friends' Meeting House in Greengate, where he took his seat at the head of the meeting as an elder in the church. He died in January, 1889, and it was interesting to see how very representative was the gathering which assembled at the funeral. Among those present were the late Right Hon. J.E. Ellis, M.P., several clergymen, solicitors, bank managers, the leading tradesmen of the t own, and members and officials of the Malton Board of Guardians and of the Local Board of Health.

George Hudson
Mr. George Hudson was born above what is now Mr. G.F. Johnson's ironmonger's shop, in Wheelgate, in 1823. Early in life he started a boarding school at Farsley. Near Leeds - the place, by the bye, where he met his wife, and to which Mrs. Hudson returned after the death of her husband. From Farsley Mr. Hudson removed to Tottington, near Bury, in 1858. Here, in partnership with the Rev. James Hainsworth, he started, and for many years conducted with great success, a large boys' boarding school. Tottington Hall proved too small and inconvenient for the number of boys received, and the college at Holly Mount was built in 1883. When Mr. Hudson returned to Malton in he soon showed his interest in local affairs by offering himself for election to the Local Board, of which he continued to be a member until 1894. In politics Mr. Hudson was an ardent Liberal, and many readers will have enjoyed talking to him on Liberal principles or arguing hard with him on the points dividing Liberals from Conservatives. Probably it is correct to say that the power of argument was one of the greatest gifts Mr. Hudson possessed. It was his custom to go to a fellow townsman, and, addressing him as "Friend," at once engage him in a heated discourse. If the friend in question annoyed him in argument, he would prefix the word "bother" to the next paragraph of his attack: "Bother, friend" will long be remembered in Malton! Another trait which lingers in the memory is his fondness for his pipe. It used to be said that Mr. George Hudson smoked matches instead of tobacco, the idea in this saying being that he usually smoked as he talked, and paid so much attention to the latter engagement that he was always having to relight his pipe. Of the few literary men inhabiting Malton in those days, Mr. Hudson was one of the chief. Next to arguing about politics, he loved to talk about a book - and the one he chose was sure to have distinct value. He and Mr. Matthew Dobson (who now lecture on behalf of a northern Temperance League) might often be seen together examining any new books which by some accidental circumstance happen to stray into a Malton bookseller's shop. Mr. Hudson was a Baptist, and loyally supported the congregation in Well's-lane. He died in 1897.

John Hudson
There are many Maltonians who remember kindly John Hudson with real affection. His short figure and cheery face, which lost none of its hopefulness when his beard turned grey, will not soon be forgotten in our town. Mr. Hudson was born in Wheelgate, over the well-known ironmonger's shop, in July 1822. He was the eldest of thirteen children, all of whom lived to adult age. As four of his brothers bore the names of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Thomas, we might almost speak of him as one of the Apostles - and, what is more, his character would bear the designation. On Mr. Hudson's marriage he built himself a house on East Mount, but with his wife removed to the old family house in Wheelgate about 1880. Mr. Hudson was a clever man at his trade - known favourably not only in Malton, but in a wide area round about. He was also a strictly honest man. I have heard it said that on one occasion a traveller while in the shop receipted an account which, upon investigation, turned out to contain an error of 5s in Mr. Hudson's favour. Malton's honest tradesman was absolutely uneasy until he could find out the address of the traveller in question and remit to him the few shillings that were not his. Whether large transactions or small were in question, the same upright conduct distinguished Mr. Hudson. It is a satisfaction that his business has descended to a nephew, who is guided by the same principles. I sometimes wish that John Ruskin had known a man of the type of Mr. Hudson. If he had, he would surely have modified that classical reflection upon commercial men contained in "Undo This Last." Certainly we have had many tradesmen in Malton who made a continual effort to serve their customers without their primary thought being the gain likely to accrue to themselves. John Hudson was closely identified, particularly in two particulars in our Malton life. He held high office among the Mark Masons, and he was a valued member of the St. Leonard's congregation. Mr. Hudson joined the Cammalodunum Lodge in 1867 (under the mastership of the late Mr. John Marshall), and, after filling various offices, was elected to the chair as Worshipful Master, in 1875. In Royal Arch Masonry he was M.E.Z. of the King Edward Chapter in 1881, and Past provincial Grand H. later on. He was also W.M. of the Fitzwilliam Lodge in 1885. In the St. Leonard's connexion, Mr. Hudson was sideman, and from 1885 to 1889, churchwarden. He frequently read the lessons in a most impressive way, and he was a member of the choir for a longer period than I can tell. He had, indeed, a great gift of song in his magnificent baritone voice, and used to be much in request at concerts. He was a member of the Malton Choral Society, which did good service in our town for many winters. In this work he was following in the footsteps of his father - one of a notable band of instrumentalists. Among these were Will Foster (the clarionet), John and Thomas Leefe (bugles), John Bull (trombone), Bobby Pierce (cymbals), Tom Allison (the kettledrum). In those days Mr. Hudson senior played the fife or small flute, as it was then called. Although the name of John Hudson would not come quickly to the mind when the leaders of Malton life of other days are being considered, there is no doubt that he was one of those who helped to keep the town to a high standard of life. One of those who knew him best left this testimony of his character: "He was one of the best men God ever made."

Henry Hurtley
Mr. Henry Hurtley's father came to Malton to join Isaac Rowntree (who married a Smithson, of the Abbey House) in the business carried on in the old mill by the Priory Church. This Mr. Rowntree was a brother of Mr. Richardson Rowntree (whose daughter married Mr. Henry Taylor), and by his marriage, an uncle of the late Henry and Richard Smithson, of Malton, associated so intimately with the "Malton Messenger." Mr. Henry Hurtley and his brother Dickinson were well known figures in Malton some thirty years ago. Henry Hurtley lived with his mother at Old Malton, and not long after her death, in 1874, married Miss Burtt, of York, a sister of the late Mr. Thomas Burtt, of the Brows. Dickinson Hurtley and his family lived at Ashfield House, now occupied by Mr. Lupton. As certainly as Sunday morning came round, Henry Hurtley would be seen, stout and ruddy, walking stick in hand, with Mrs. Hurtley, on his way to the Friends' Meeting House in Greengate, where he sat "at the top of the Meeting," whilst his brother with his three sons preferred to remain towards the bottom of the room. On the week-day, both brothers were as clockwork in attendance at their office in Hurtley's Mill - a busy hive so long as their business was carried on in it, but when they were compelled to emigrate to Hull, a derelict of industry. When this happened, some of us thought Mr. Hurtley would feel "lost," but he quickly recovered himself, and presided over his firm's office in Yorkersgate, in the building lately burnt down, and here deaf old John Addison carried out the chief's orders. From this centre Mr. Hurtley would, as it were, radiate out into our little world, taking part in the affairs of the local Board of Health, sharing in the management of an elementary school, discussing the weather, on which he was an authority, or the latest step in politics. When he was elected Chairman of the Local Board, in the autumn of 1889, he said that he was reluctant to take the position, but was willing to do so under the circumstances and knowing that he might rely on the full support of the members in order to avoid "some of the scenes which had been such a disgrace in former times." In all town affairs Mr. Hurtley's judgment was most valuable. His gifts were of the order which are so badly wanted wanted to-day in public work, and his aims were always high and unselfish. He allowed himself to be nominated for the county Council in 1892, but was defeated by Dr. Hartley. There is no doubt that had he been returned, his ability in finance would have been of considerable assistance to the county. Next to figures, Henry Hurtley enjoyed bagatelle (so far as I know, he never attained to billiards). He was equally delighted to talk to you about the latest ocean liner (her tonnage, dimensions, and speed) of the state of the grain harvest in the United States and Canada; of the effect on the price of Consols of any war which happened to be raging. Often, when welcoming a guest of an evening, he would delight them with good stories. None of these entertained me more than reminiscences of his own youth. He was at a boarding school for three years without once seeing his home. When he went, his hat and coat were stored away. On the morning of his return, he had given out to him a hat much too small for his head, and a coat which would not by any persuasion meet round his body! In graphic phrase he described to you his discomfort as he rode on the coach from Pontefract to York, with fellow passengers whispering to one another about the quaint fat, little boy whose clothes were so small for him! At the back of Mr. Hurtley's extremely practical mind there were deeply spiritual thoughts. He said little, but it was clear that he felt much. He died in July of 1902.

Sneak Preview Screening: PLOT FOR PEACE (Nelson Mandela Shakuho no Shinjitsu) followed by a Q&A with
director Carlos Agulló and subject Jean-Yves Ollivier (Q&A in English and Japanese)
Thursday, April 10 at 7 pm
Multilingual with English-only subtitles
South Africa, 2013 84 minutes
Directors: Carlos Agulló and Mandy Jacobson
Producer: Mandy Jacobson
Screenwriter: Stephen Smith
Editor: Carlos Agulló
Film courtesy of Annie Planet
"Plot For Peace," which has been quietly picking up awards on the international festival circuit, is history retold as political thriller, a riveting documentary that reveals the untold story of apartheid's fall, focusing on the mysterious French businessman Jean-Yves Ollivier, alias "Monsieur Jacques," who secretly set the dominoes in motion, ultimately leading to the birth of a new South Africa and Nelson Mandela's release from jail.
You won't have heard of Ollivier, and probably won't remember many of the events replayed here in horrific newsreels. You also likely won't recall all the heads of state, generals, diplomats, master spies and anti-apartheid fighters who appear in the film - except perhaps Winnie Mandela - talking us carefully through the maze of African politics of the time, clarifying events and roles in their frontline efforts to help end apartheid.
"In 1981, arriving in South Africa felt like visiting another planet, like an American movie from the 1950s," says Ollivier in his no-holds-barred narration for the film. "I wondered how the whites did not realize that, unless they changed and accepted to share the country, they were headed for disaster." The "regional battlefield" that was a result of the ANC cells that set up in neighboring states, along with the international embargo on trade with Botha's regime, were crimping Ollivier's commodities business.
So he decided to do something about it. Dubbing himself a "free electron," he dared to fly (via Paris) from one neighboring African nation to another for nearly a decade on his own dime, mediating between the Marxist-Leninists in Mozambique and Angola, the apartheid supporters, the French and the Americans. In the end, as "Plot for Peace" reveals, Ollivier's tireless behind-the scenes negotiations eventually rewrote Africa's future. But we didn't know how we got there - until now.
Please join us for this sneak preview of the "Plot for Peace" before the film's theatrical release in Japan on April 12.

Director-editor CARLOS AGULLO worked as an assistant editor on "The Sea Inside" by Alejandro Amenábar, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. He has been editor for other award-winning Spanish directors, such as "Back to Moira" by Mateo Gil, "Planet 51" by Jorge Blanco, "Historia de un Director Idiota" by Sergio Candel, "For the Good of others" by Oskar Santos and the TV series "Crematorio" by Jorge Sánchez Cabezudo. He has also directed his own short films, including "The Gift," "The Wait," "Ana Cronia," "Pizza Eli" and "Next Station."
JEAN-YVES OLLIVIER is an Algiers-born French businessman who worked primarily in the commodities sector in emerging markets from the 1960s onward. He has also been active as a diplomat for many years, using his personal relationships with heads of states to facilitate mediation and peace processes in Africa. In 1987, Ollivier received the Order of Good Hope from South African Foreign Minister Roelof "Pik" Botha. In 1995, he was elevated to Grand Officer of the Order of Good Hope by President Nelson Mandela for his role in ending Apartheid. Ollivier also holds the title of "Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur" and "Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite" in France, as well as the title of "Commandeur de l'Ordre de Mérite Congolais" in Congo Brazzaville, and "Grand Officier de l 'Étoile d'Anjouan" in Comoros.

Wednesday to Sunday!
31 Jan – 4 Feb 2018
The world of retailing is rapidly changing. Retailers are no longer expected to simply supply products, but rather offer a leisure experience. Consumers want entertainment, to interact with products, directly at the point of sale. At the Spielwarenmesse® 2019, Frank Rehme, a visionary in innovation and shaping the future, presented the latest trends he had found on his New York Retail Trend Tour 2019. At the same time, he summarised how these might be implemented in various retail markets. Personalised products, individuality and same-day delivery are right up there.
The trend presentation highlights retail trends in a number of markets:


text: How rehoming worksOur rehoming programme – known as the Redwings Guardianship Scheme – involves loaning a horse from us on a permanent basis, while also always having the support of the Sanctuary. This means you will have full responsibility for your new member of the family and their day-to-day care, but should they need to come back to us for any reason they'll always have a place at Redwings. How do I apply? We rehome across East Anglia, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. View the horses looking for homes in your area. All applications for rehoming are taken online, which helps us to keep our administration costs low and to avoid you having to join a long waiting list. Following your application, we will arrange a home visit to make sure you have the necessary facilities for your chosen horse. We then invite you to meet the horse at the Sanctuary, as well as our rehoming team who are all about finding the right match to best suit our horse's needs and yours – hopefully it'll be a match made in heaven! rehoming_2.jpg What are the benefits? Our horses are trained to be handled and ridden using techniques based around how horses learn. This is ensures our horses have a really positive training experience and it also means you can welcome a horse into your home that is well-behaved and has good manners. We also give our horses the opportunity to experience and be familiarised with many different scenarios and objects – from rug-fitting and veterinary checks, to traffic, gym balls and flags! We believe it is important to be completely honest about any behavioural or health requirements of your new horse, so before you take them home you will know everything about them. And the support doesn't stop there, our team have years of experience of supporting guardians with their horses in their new lives together so are on hand should you ever need their help and advice. Get involved_Rehome_ How rehoming works- post card image 1.jpg What does it cost? We do not charge for rehoming a horse from Redwings, but we do ask for a £50 deposit for their passport. As a registered charity, we do of course welcome any donation from you to help fund the future training of horses in our care as well as to enable us to continue tour vital work in rescuing and helping horses in need across the UK.

The title of this blog is actually representative of two passionate young men elected to the office of US President; both hostages of a perverse culture.
One, whose naive but good intentions seem to have been psychologically neutered, a hostage of the true occupants, ghosts and progeny of the perpetrators, who's savagery in Dallas of 1963 continue to dominate the haunted premises with an icy subliminal grip.
The other, dead, lives on as a trophy within the celluloid of Zapruder's ubiquitous reminder, a president's head erupting into a pink aura of blood as his precious life, stolen, slipped from our presence; a silent jolt to those entering the cabal's dark realm, quickly displaces any harbored thoughts of bucking heads with the ghosts of this entrenchment.
The seed was already sown prior to, but with every passing year since the bloody coup in Dealey Plaza, the ghastly miasma exuding from the vile creature metamorphosed that day, has grown ever more repugnant; its grip beyond reproach; its lawless global actions overtly bold and callous.
The Strange Presidency of Obama.
The other night I watched a documentary: JFK – A President Betrayed, narrated by Morgan Freeman. It's obvious today, the seething hatred of those elements surrounding Kennedy did not evaporate with his elimination. That Dallas day, villainy had consolidated its grip on the ship's helm, diabolically anointed with the blood of a man who dared move against this malaise; an incumbency that does not vacate the house with the passage of new election cycles.
To paraphrase an early statement Obama seared into my mind: "Power will not relinquish its throne so easily. It will take time." Indeed!
How does one explain the radical, overnight switch in Obama's character, from that of a campaign firebrand for Change to a complete whimpering stranger?
Absolutely nothing about the earliest days of Obama's administration made any sense at all, nor did it match the passionate oratory of his campaign. The dismal contradictory trend continues today. Obama shed every ounce of steam, he the activist charged into office with, almost immediately became an impotent political eunuch. The JFK video, cinched it for me! I don't know precisely how, but in my humble opinion, Obama was psychologically neutered the moment he officially set foot into the Oval Office.
Gordon Duff:
"During the last months of the Bush administration, a Secret Shadow Government (SSG) was created to sabotage President Obama, politically, economically and, in particular, on issues of foreign policy. "Transition conferences" were held, procedures enacted, roadblocks created."
Following Obama's inauguration, each passing day in office, manifest as a growing despondency in supporters who witnessed the new President back-peddle on every single major issue. Towards the end of his first four-year term, we no longer knew the person. I too, utterly gave up on the man I thought would put a major chink in the decades old armor of darkness that had usurped the throne.
In light of the public record, no doubt, many will color this feeble attempt in perceiving salvation for Obama, via some strained comparison to JFK, a bit obtuse and pointless. I too thought I'd packed all of my hopey-wishey-changey toys back into the closet, but something here just won't leave me alone!
The employment of fear, utilized like a cattle-prod to the mind, can drastically alter the course of an individual's path.
Perhaps the firebrand at heart, within the clutches of futility, Obama decided to let the cabal have their cake and eat it too, or should we say, give out enough rope to hang themselves? Once the entangled scope of treachery which sought to undermine Kennedy is understood, the fact stands clear, Obama is just window dressing, not in charge of anything, a whipping post to be thrown out for public ridicule and humiliation when nefarious deeds go awry, a malleable tool within the grip of a rabid right-wing establishment; progeny of that 1963 psycho-drama which, through Zapruder, continues to play out in minds – no different from the planes slamming into the Twin Towers – still permeates the Presidential residence.
On the other hand, 45-years before Obama's first inauguration, JFK's moral indignation took a stand against the very beginnings of the now entrenched cabal, especially the newly formed CIA and growing industry of war; an arrogant, self-serving gang who relentlessly jerked Kennedy around, dealing behind his back, doing as they pleased without any recompense. At the end of the documentary, it dawned on me just how isolated and insignificant the Executive Office had become. In the end, JFK's stubborn idealism was lured into a boxed canyon, to be snuffed out by a group of armed gunmen gathered together for, as E. Howard Hunt described it on his deathbed: The Big Event.
I ask myself, how else is it possible for an individual to provoke change into a futile and insurmountable condition such as this? In which case, why not just let these brutal white men have enough of their own bloody rope to hang themselves?
One poignant remark in Duff's piece says it all, also linked to JFK's speech:
"Obama inherited a government "infected" by the secret societies John F. Kennedy warned about only hours before his assassination."
THE "UN-PRESIDENCY" OF BARACK OBAMA — Gordon Duff
I would add to Duff's remark by including: the heart of the entrenched bureaucracy still throbs with the disease of McCarthyism, whose feverish tentacles have roots in the rabid, right-wing, a progeny of the early CIA-Nazi nexus, affectionately referred to at the time as The Gehlen Org, lives and breathes today within the ranks of the National Security State and it Global War on Terror.
The metastasis of this miasma has experienced decades of evolution. When lanced, the ugliness of the truth that spills forth will not be very pleasant, but the disinfecting rays of the sun will wither away all the rotten tumors, while clean air rushes in to fill our lungs. The wakening, liberation, process is only upsetting because the cozy comfort of the lie is fracturing and falling away.
Significant Highlights from Duff's Piece:
During the last months of the Bush administration, a Secret Shadow Government (SSG) was created to sabotage President Obama, politically, economically and, in particular, on issues of foreign policy. "Transition conferences" were held, procedures enacted, roadblocks created.
Little did the "half blind" Obama administration know that the Benghazi attack had been planned and underwritten in Washington, the Potomac Institute, PJ Media (a Mossad front group), the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute and "carry-over" operational units "formerly" under command of "former" Vice President Cheney.
As with recent investigations that have traced the training of the Maidan Square snipers to secret CIA facilities in Poland, Benghazi was also a CIA operation. Few care to remember that Reverend Terry Jones, of Koran burning fame, in another life spent 12 years in Germany running Gladio operations.
Erased from history but brought back for this brief moment is a news story from that day:
"WASHINGTON, Sept 12 (Reuters) – General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke with Pastor Terry Jones by phone on Wednesday and asked him to withdraw his support for a film whose portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad has sparked violent protests – including one that ended with the death of America's envoy to Libya."
When backtracking the funding of the Jones film credited by General Dempsey for inciting what we now know to be the "cover and deception" operation leading to the Benghazi attack, the names Kagan and Nuland/Noodleman are seen repeatedly along with the front for the broadcast, PJ Media and a series of conservative think tanks.
Thus, Washington "Stink Tanks" as they are called, assisted by a YouTube Psyop media company and coordinated with corrupt elected officials murdered an American ambassador and used "SSG" insiders in the State Department to push blame onto the Obama administration.
This same method is being repeated in Syria, the Ukraine, with the Palestinian peace talks in addition to the sabotaged relationships with both Russia and China.

Mother's Toast To A Son On His Wedding Day
Greek weddings function a mix of ceremonies representing an unforgettable a part of Greek tradition. The wedding circlet was indicative of the completion of each the life span of man and woman. If the wedding ceremony is deliberate to happen in a standard manner, then slow-moving conventional songs can be played. The first dance of the married couple is particular to both the bride and groom and care should be taken to pick a track that is liked by each or by some means reflects their love story. And although it's less well-known I love the song Believe from The Scarlet Pimpernel.
Short clothes typically have mini trains or tiny elaborations on the back to take the place of a traditional wedding costume practice. The track is about two individuals from completely reverse backgrounds discovering love in essentially the most sudden of circumstances. Focusing on how you need the wedding to really feel for you, your partner, and your friends.
With a tasty buffet, plenty of drink and the suitable wedding leisure your friends are sure to take pleasure in themselves. The wedding cake has always been a symbolic inclusion to any wedding and the custom of cake smashing, or breaking the cake over the bride's head truly dates again to Roman times. Apparel: Traditionally the Maids of Honor's costume needs to be subtly completely different than the other bridesmaids so that she/they is acknowledged as the #1 attendant. A flattering wrap gown worn with elegant high heel boots and a pretty pair of drop pearl earrings could be highly appropriate. Your readers might also be concerned about wedding areas and wedding venues data.
The custom is that she could put on the afghani gown on hena night or she can make a green traditional afghani costume and wear on the wedding evening for her nikah. One may also select the songs earlier than hand and get it burned on a CD to be performed on the wedding day. Dresses for the bride and her attendants are perhaps the subsequent biggest expense if purchased from large identify designers at a wedding costume shop.
All day you should have been told where to stand, the way to smile for the camera and when to say your vows, so why not make reducing the cake an unforgettable, unscripted event. Horseshoes have been considered by the Irish to be good luck and brides carried them on their wedding day. Brides and grooms can get creative and create their very own distinctive wording for his or her wedding invitation.…

It was 9pm the night I begged my roommate, Elizabeth Rivera, to let me borrow her Giorgio Armani white double blazer she had purchased at Nordstrom on sale.
I was 22 years old, it was 1990, and I was going to a fancy nightclub in La Jolla, California with a few girlfriends.
Elizabeth was a stunning young Mexican-American woman with perfect eyebrows, succulent lips and (in my mind) owned the most sought after wardrobe in San Diego at the time.
Up until that moment, she had refused to let me borrow any of her found couture-on-sale clothing because as she said, "You always end up with stains on your stuff."
Not exactly true…
On this night, however, Elizabeth was in a good mood and said I could borrow her very expensive white double breasted blazer.
But… before she did, she looked me straight in the eye and made me promise to not get a single drop of anything on her current favorite jacket or she would make sure I paid BIG.
I promised and thought nothing more of it.
As I slipped my arms into the jacket, I felt like a million bucks and off I went.
A few hours later, I ran into the super-hot-Italian-guy, Giovani, who I had met through an acquaintance at the beach earlier that summer.
For the next few hours, we blissfully danced together and I thought to myself, "Elizabeth's jacket is bringing me all kinds of good luck tonight!"
Until it didn't.
At some point later in the evening, Giovani and I walked outside together to get some fresh air and talk.
Suddenly, a big tall dude with a huge ring on his middle finger walked right up to us, cocked his arm back, fist closed and slammed it into the super-hot-Italian-guys's third eye [that spot in-between the eyebrows.]
Blood gushed down Giovani's face like a skydiver free-falling out of a plane without a parachute.
I quickly grabbed Giovani and took him into the women's bathroom where he promptly started to bleed all over me… and… all over Elizabeth's white blazer.
Before I knew it, his friends rushed in, surrounded him in a tight circle, and scooped him away leaving me behind… just. like. that.
I never saw Giovani again.
My big message to you today?
Sometimes, messy things can happen to you, your patients, clients and/or staff.
Things can happen at your wellness business or healthcare practice that are completely out of your control.
In these situations, compassion and your team are your biggest allies… and so is your patient-centered space.
When an emergency occurs, you can offer your patient or team member a comfortable and quiet space to sit and calm down in your cozy exam or treatment room, office or waiting area.
You can offer her or him a cup of herbal tea [like Chamomile] known for its medicinal calming properties.
When one of your peeps is in shock after an emotional or physical trauma, holding a warm cup of tea can be one of the most comforting things you can offer to help.
But most of all, you can feel proud of your nurturing wellness space and confident in knowing that it will always act in service of your compassionate care.
Get the wellness design help you need to take your healthcare business to the next level now:
P.S. So what happened to Elizabeth's white double-breasted blazer after it was soaked in Giovani's blood?
The very next morning, before Elizabeth got up, I took the jacket to the dry cleaners and told them what happened. They couldn't guarantee the blood would come out, even though I had soaked it a fair amount the night before, but they would try their best.
I was seriously worried. I didn't have the money to replace the jacket and I knew Elizabeth would be furious at me.
As luck had it, when I got the blazer back, there was only the faintest mark left from my evening with Giovani and Elizabeth never noticed.
To this day, she still doesn't know what really happened. 😉

Loving May for the return of color! It's one of my favorite months in the year as the weather definitely has its' first highs, but the sun doesn't burn too much yet. I Also am in love with all the blossoms, like these pink ones that popped up right outside my house!
Mr.B. and I used this chance to take some lovely pictures. It was the perfect moment and I have to say that I am glad to have taken them that day, even though we had a lot on our ToDo list. Only two days later, the tree has lost almost all of those super pretty blossoms. Just gone with the wind!

You may have heard of Taxi.com. They publish listings of music wanted by labels and production companies. Taxi members send in their work for screening and the best get sent on.
That's just by-the-by, but they have a forum that I chanced onto recently. Someone had asked the question how much do composers get paid.
Oddly, no-one seemed prepared to answer. So what's the big secret?
Well I can tell you exactly how much composers get paid in my area of the business, which is production music.
Production music is written in advance and distributed to companies that are likely to use it. It can be bought on a royalty-free license, or paid for on a royalty basis. I work the latter route, so that is the area where I can give you a few facts.
So what's the most a composer can get paid?
No, let's start with the least. What's the least a composer can get paid?
Imagine the scenario. You write and record some music that is suitable for use on TV. You sign a contract with a publisher for 50% of both performance and mechanical royalties.
And you get paid…
Not a penny. The track earns you no money whatsoever.
Yes, that can happen. Even the best publisher makes errors of judgment, or sometimes just takes a chance on a track. But it doesn't work out, and even though the music is made available to users, no-one wants it.
Writing production music is like buying raffle tickets. If you buy just one ticket, you are unlikely to win. If you attend lots of raffles and buy lots of tickets, then you will win on a regular basis. A composer of production music needs somewhere in the order of fifty tracks to be sure of a regular income. And I always advise composers to do production music in their spare time, between commissioned jobs.
So supposing a track does earn something. What's the least it can earn?
One penny. That's a UK penny or a US cent. Whatever the lowest denomination is.
Yes you can really get paid just a penny. At least that's how it will appear on your royalty statements. You probably won't get a check until there is a certain amount owing to you.
This kind of payment comes from broadcasts on small cable networks, particularly where just a couple of seconds of a track have been used. Small radio stations can generate very low payments too.
So to the other end of the scale. What's the most you can earn?
Well, actually I don't know the answer to that question, but I have heard in the more shady areas of the industry of BMW motor cars being given as bribes to get a track used on TV.
If your track gets placed on a long-running soap or news broadcast, then it could be as good as a pension for you.
But let's look at single uses, or at least single royalty statements. What's the most you could expect for one track during one royalty period (which varies from a month to a year, according to who is paying)?
The answer to that is thousands. The most I have ever received for a single track in a single accounting period was just over $14,000. That was one of my own tracks placed with a publisher. So in total the payment was $28,000.
I get royalty payments in the four-figure zone quite regularly. But that's not what I count as my bread and butter.
No, rather than occasional payments of thousands, I much prefer to receive lots of small payments from lots of sources. Anything from $20 to $100 or so.
There is security in numbers and where the big payments could suddenly dry up, if you have hundreds of small payments coming in then you're never going to go hungry.
Oh by the way, I've received money for my music from the woman in the picture. Not much though – that's probably why she's so rich.
OK – over to you…
We know that successful songs can make far more than this, so let's rule them out and stick strictly to music for TV.
How much do YOU get paid? Every Audio Masterclass visitor wants to know!

The API sorting algorithm is quite complex and it uses different marketing techniques in order to provide the best possible options for customers.
The sorting algorithm makes use of marketing data like: Locale, Currency, Physical Location (IP Address), time of the year/season, and many other similar data.
Because of this, when making exactly the same request, the sort order of results that you see on TravelNow may be very different than the sort order of results found in a API response. It is enough to have only one marketing data different and the sorting order will most likely be different.

Then-candidate Donald Trump's unauthorized use of REM's 1987 song, "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)", during a 2015 campaign rally sparked a sharp objection by the band's Michael Stipe. Flash forward to 2017 and now-President Trump has been flexing his executive powers in a number of legal fields; for many environmental, energy or immigration lawyers it's the end of the regulatory world as we knew it for decades, and they are not feeling so fine.
Executive Orders (EOs) raise classic constitutional law issues of the separation of powers, in that they often are used for "executive legislating" even though there is no explicit constitutional authority for them. EOs also blur traditional regulating lines, because they are not issued with public notice or comment, and usually state that they do not "create any right or benefit enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States."
An EO can have the force of law, however, if the EO is based on either the Constitution or a statute, per the Supreme Court's 1954 Youngstown decision. That is why one must carefully read each EO to determine the grounds of its authority, and then whether it is possibly contrary to a) existing laws or b) constitutional provisions such as due process or equal protection.
Facing an uncooperative Congress, POTUS Obama came to rely on EOs in his last two years in office (see this prophetic 2015 School House Rock episode). POTUS Trump took to EOs right out of the gate. The two Trump EOs that have garnered the most publicity and outcry deal with immigration restrictions The first EO was challenged in numerous courts, and the 9th Circuit issued on February 9 the first appellate decision on a Trump EO. Interestingly, and instructive for future litigants and legal counsel, the first issue addressed by the 9th Circuit, and the one they discussed the most, was . . . standing. The court then moved on to reviewability, and only briefly due process and equal protection. The complaint's count on violating the Administrative Procedure Act for not following proper rulemaking proceedings was not even discussed in the ruling.
Trump issued two EOs of more relevance to environmental and energy lawyers. First was the January 30, 2017 EO entitled "Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs", aka the add-one-subtract-two, no-increase-in-incremental-costs [undefined]- of-regulations EO. That was followed by the February 2, 2017 Interim Guidance of the OMB implementing (and implicitly amending) the EO by limiting it to "significant regulatory actions"—i.e. those of $100 million or more of annual effect on the economy. A week later the EO and IG were both challenged in federal court in D.C. as violating the APA, separation of powers, the Constitution's "Take Care Clause", and as being ultra vires. Plaintiffs referenced in part OSHA, TSCA, the ESA and CAA, and other energy/environmental laws as being inconsistent with the EO's requirement that a new rule can only be promulgated if its cost is offset by the elimination of two existing rules. The EO ironically signals the possible demise of cost-benefit analysis —first mandated by then POTUS Ronald Reagan by an EO in 1981—by disallowing consideration of the economic benefits of a regulation when weighing its costs.
Many more EOs are promised in the coming weeks concerning a variety of environmental and energy laws and regulations. Early in the wave was the February 28, 2017 EO with the majestic name of "Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the 'Waters of the United States' [aka WOTUS] Rule". This EO directs the EPA to review the WOTUS Rule while keeping in mind the national interest of "promoting economic growth, minimizing regulatory uncertainty, and showing due regard for the roles of the Congress and the States under the Constitution." Since WOTUS was a final rule published in the Federal Register, it can only be repealed and replaced by a new rule that goes through full notice-and-comment rulemaking, not simply by a non-legislative guidance or policy statement.
One who lives by the EO sword can slowly die from it too. POTUS Obama did not submit for approval to Congress the Paris Climate Change Agreement of 2016, calling it an "executive agreement", thus POTUS Trump does not need Congressional approval to undo it. The Agreement terms do not allow withdrawal by a party before November 2019. However, the U.S. could withdraw from the overarching United Nations Framework on Climate Change with one year notice, if the Senate approves, and that in effect would undo our Paris "commitments". And as a practical matter, the current Administration could also just choose not to implement the Paris obligations, because there is no binding duty to hit the emission reduction targets.
In sum, we live in interesting times. Although Jack Black has said of this Administration that "It's the end of the world", for College members and their clients it's the start of some fascinating new adventures in regulation and litigation. Stay tuned.

President Donald Trump's first weeks in office have seemed like a reality TV show highlighted by frequent signing ceremonies for hastily-drafted executive orders. One of these orders, signed on January 30, is entitled "Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs" (Executive Order 13771). President Trump described it as mandating "the largest cut by far, ever in terms of regulation" and the key to "cutting regulations massively" for businesses. The order requires federal agencies to repeal two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue and it gives each agency a regulatory budget of zero for the imposition of aggregate costs on industry during the current fiscal year.
The words "cost" or "costs" appear 18 times in the executive order; entirely missing from it is any discussion of the benefits of regulation. By focusing solely on reducing the costs of regulation, President Trump is repeating a crucial mistake the Reagan administration made after launching a major "regulatory reform" initiative in 1981. President Reagan's Executive Order 12291 created a new system of regulatory review centered in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). It mandated that federal agencies perform cost/benefit analyses to support any major rule likely to cost more than $100 million annually. Subsequent Presidents of both parties have retained this requirement and the centralization of regulatory review in OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
Unlike Trump's executive order, Reagan's order directed federal agencies to consider both the costs and benefits of regulation. It specified that such agencies should seek to maximize net benefits to society and to issue regulations only when their potential benefits outweighed their potential costs. However, the Reagan administration undermined these directives by maintaining that costs and benefits need not be weighed when an agency proposed to repeal a regulation. This contributed to a disastrous effort to repeal limits on the amount of lead additives that could be used in gasoline.
At the direction of Reagan's Task Force on Regulatory Relief, EPA proposed to repeal the lead limits that had been sustained in the D.C. Circuit's historic, en banc decision in Ethyl Corporation v. EPA. While this would have saved oil refiners a small amount of money, it would have dramatically increased lead poisoning, costing society far more. Yet, despite the Reagan administration's new emphasis on cost/benefit analysis, no cost/benefit analysis was performed because EPA was proposing to repeal a regulation.
The rulemaking to abolish limits on lead in gasoline spawned such a firestorm of opposition, even from conservative columnist George Will, that the Reagan administration was forced instead to strengthen the regulation. Three years later, after William Ruckelhaus had returned to lead EPA, the agency performed a cost/benefit analysis of phasing lead out of gasoline entirely. After the analysis found overwhelming net benefits from banning leaded gasoline, EPA did so. Today nearly every country in the world has followed the U.S. in banning leaded gasoline, dramatically reducing lead poisoning. Economists estimate that lead phase-out now generates more than two trillion dollars per year in net benefits globally.
Under President Trump's new executive order, federal agencies must repeal two rules, regardless of their benefits, in order to take any new regulatory action. And the costs of the new regulation must be offset by the reduced costs from repealing existing rules. Thus, if EPA wants to strengthen regulations on lead in drinking water to protect people like the residents of Flint, Michigan, Trump's executive order requires it to repeal two existing rules, for example (god forbid) by no longer prohibiting oil refiners from adding lead to gasoline.
President Trump's executive order has legal qualifiers that offer some hope. It purports not to "impair or otherwise affect" agencies' existing legal authority and it requires federal agencies to comply with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) when repealing rules. The APA's judicial review provisions direct courts to strike down agency actions that are "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law." If an agency's only justification for repealing a rule is to comply with President Trump's new directive, it should be possible to convince a reviewing court that the action is arbitrary enough to be struck down.
President Reagan's efforts to relax environmental regulation generated a backlash in Congress, which responded by greatly strengthening the environmental laws and adding numerous deadlines for EPA action. But that was because Congress then was controlled by lawmakers who cared about environmental protection. Today's Congress is controlled by lawmakers who regularly campaign against EPA regulations. Regulations that are outmoded, ineffective, or excessively burdensome should be repealed, as President Obama directed in 2011 when he issued Executive Order 13563. But President Trump's poorly drafted Executive Order 13771 opens the door to repealing long-established protections for public health, safety and the environment without consideration of the enormous benefits they produce.

Thai Police Formally Charge Australian Thomas Keating Over Fatal Jet Ski Accident in Phuket
PHUKET – Karon Police Chief Col Sanya Thongsawad has reported that 21 year-old Thomas Keating has been formally charged in the accidental death of his girlfriend 20 year-old fellow Australian Emily Jayne Collie.
Thomas Keating, 21, appeared at the Karon Provincial Police Station to acknowledge the charge against him, which police called "recklessness, causing death to another". Under Thai law, the offense is punishable by up to 10 years in jail.
Members of the press were not permitted to attend the formal reading of the charge.
"The deceased's relatives have told police they understand that this was an accident and will not pursue the case," said Sanya Thongsawad, superintendent at Karon Provincial Police Station.
Before returning to Australia with Emily's body they issued a statement to the media, provided by the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
The statement reads:
We are in the midst of grieving through the sudden loss of our precious daughter Emily. This was a tragic accident. We do not believe anybody was at fault. In particular, we do not place any blame on Tom Keating, who we care about very much and who we know loved Emily deeply.
We are all heartbroken beyond words, and at this extremely sad time, we wish to be together with our family, with Tom, and with other loved ones to grieve and celebrate Emily's life. We do not wish to speak with the press at this very painful time, and ask that those wishes be respected.
