The Voice of Women Initiative's #Bringbackourgirls Press Statement
On 31st October, 2000 the landmark Resolution/1325 on women, peace and security was adopted by the United Nations Security Council. Since then, Resolutions 1820(2008), 1889(2009), 1960(2010), 2106(2013) and 2122(2013) have also been adopted. These resolutions address the disproportionate and unique impact of armed conflict on women. They also address; the participation of women in conflict prevention and peace keeping while illuminating the critical consideration of gender perspective in all aspects of peace and conflict. However, it is constantly becoming clear that women and girls are not safe even in environments where they are supposed to be. The expansion of liberal thought and the constant press for peace around the world has opened up avenues to engage both within and outside our physical realm on issues that call for global concern. This is one of the key reasons why the hashtag #bringbackourgirls has received global recognition.
We must be careful not to turn our focus away from what has created this sense of insecurity and in unequivocal terms:
Ask the Nigerian Government to focus on rescuing the abducted girls and bringing them to safety.
Beseech the African Union and other African Governments to break their silence on this issue and join Nigeria in putting an end to this atrocity.
Request the United Nations to reaffirm its commitment to guaranteeing the security of women and girls by responding to this state of insecurity and impressing upon governments to implement measures that enhance the security of women and girls.
Call Upon social citizens to continue pressing for action from various governments, state agencies and non-state agencies. We also call upon them to show responsibility and compassion in the content, images and videos shared across the various social platforms concerning the abducted girls.
Finally, Call for deliberate awareness-raising around this issue and beg that people avoid propaganda and exaggeration. Most of all, we call for the unity of humanity in bringing back our girls.

Transit and high-speed rail are the focus.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) will present three studies supported by the Mineta National Transit Research Consortium (MNTRC) at the 20th Annual Fall Transportation Conference in Las Vegas from October 10-11. With his study, Hualiang (Harry) Teng, Ph.D., will present a research project, High Speed Rail Station Multimodal Connectivity in France, and will relate the information to the high-speed rail station proposed for Las Vegas. This station will be the end point for the planned XpressWest, an approximately 185-mile high-speed rail route connecting the city with Victorville CA.
During the same session, Mohamed Kaseko, Ph.D., and his student will present the results recently obtained from their research project, Enhancing Transit Service in Rural Areas and Native American Tribal Communities. In addition, a high school student at Ed W. Clark High School, Henry Teng, mentored by Dr. Kaseko, will present "A Student Analysis of the Benefits of High Speed Trains as Reflected from Popular Cinematic Works." This study provides historical perspectives on the impacts of high-speed rail based on several popular movies they collected. Mr. Teng believes that the positive impacts of high-speed rail must be conveyed to the US, especially during this time when interest is high.
Drs. Teng and Kaseko are associate professors affiliated with the Nevada University Transportation Center (NUTC) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. NUTC is a partner with the MNTRC at San Jose (Calif.) State University.
"Recently, there was a meeting at the Regional Transportation Commission, our local metropolitan planning organization, where representatives from XpressWest presented their outlook," said Dr. Teng. "This triggered the discussions about building a multimodal terminal that integrated all the transportation modes, including transit, with the proposed high-speed rail station. Our research project is addressing that issue, which is critical for Nevada."
The Fall Transportation Conference is organized by three professional organizations: The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in Nevada. Typically, the conference attracts up to 200 attendees, including industry and governmental professionals, as well as university students and faculty. The event also features a product showcase.
NUTC is a nationally recognized center of excellence for research in planning, operations and management of sustainable transportation systems in rapidly growing urban areas. The center serves as a vital source of knowledge and training for leaders and professionals who are prepared to meet the nation's need for the safe, secure, and efficient movement of people and goods. For information, go to http://nutc.unlv.edu/.
The Mineta National Transit Research Consortium (MNTRC) conducts research, education, and information and technology transfer, focusing on transportation policy, technology, and management issues, especially as they relate to transit. MNTRC was established in 2011 as part of SAFETEA-LU legislation authorized by Congress. Six of the Consortium's nine university transportation centers were originally authorized under ISTEA in 1991, TEA-21 in 1998, and/or SAFETEA-LU in 2006. The MNTRC has been funded by Congress through the US Department of Transportation's (DOT) Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), by individual state departments of transportation, and by other public and private grants and donations. The nine Consortium universities include Bowling Green, Detroit Mercy, Grand Valley, Howard University, Penn State, Rutgers, San Jose State, University of Nevada Las Vegas, and University of Toledo.

Best versus Reasonable Endeavours
Have you ever seen a contract or agreement including terms such as "best endeavours", "reasonable endeavours" or "all reasonable endeavours"? What do these terms mean? What is a party expected to do under these terms?
These common terms are generally misunderstood. However, as a general rule, these terms are used to compel a person to take action to fulfil an obligation or condition that might be, to some extent, beyond that person's immediate control.
However, as with any contractual obligation, the devil is in the detail and courts are often called upon to determine what the detail actually requires of the person under the obligation.
Best Endeavours
A best endeavours obligation is more onerous on a party than an obligation of "reasonable endeavours". It obliges a party to take all available courses of action to fulfil the obligation that a prudent, determined and reasonable person might have taken.
The steps that must be taken will likely include spending money to fulfil the obligation. However, under current New Zealand common-law, that person would not be expected to spend more than a reasonable amount of money or put themselves in financial jeopardy.
Reasonable Endeavours
An obligation to use "reasonable endeavours" is less onerous on a party than a "best endeavours "obligation. The "reasonable endeavours" obligation is typically defined by reference to an objective standard of what an ordinary competent and reasonable person might do in the same circumstances.
Under an obligation of "reasonable endeavours," a person is able to balance their contractual obligations against their commercial operations in deciding which course of action to pursue. Accordingly, a party is not required to take any course of action that might prejudice the interests of that party.
However, if the clause that requires reasonable endeavours sets out specific steps, then the person having that obligation must take those steps regardless of costs.
All Reasonable Endeavours
The courts have grappled with the interpretation of an obligation of "all reasonable endeavours." It has considered whether it is a middle ground between "reasonable endeavours" and "best endeavours", or as recent court interpretation suggests, whether there is no real difference between "all reasonable endeavours" and "best endeavours".
With that in mind, if a person is under an "all reasonable endeavours" obligation, it is expected they will not be obliged to take a course of action in order to fulfil that condition, if fulfilling that condition is beyond that party's control and if the action may result in the sacrifice of their own financial interests.
However, if a party is under an "all reasonable endeavours" obligation to do something that is within its control, then that party is obliged to fulfil that condition and cannot choose what to do in light of its commercial interests. In the event that the term is extended to read "all reasonable but commercially prudent endeavours", then the party concerned may consider its commercial interests in deciding how to fulfil the condition.
Clearing up confusion
Where these matters are left to the court for interpretation, the situation will always be fact specific. However, the use of these terms and what they oblige a party to do or not do is always an issue. Caution should always be observed when using these terms. The likelihood of requiring court interpretation is ever-present.
To ensure that the interpretation of your contract or agreement does not end up in court, it is advisable to stipulate specific steps a party must take in order to fulfil a condition. This can be bolstered by setting a timeframe in which the condition should be satisfied or endured. Outlining possible penalties, remedies or responses if the condition is not fulfilled could add some clarity around what is expected by each party.
Please note that there are a number of cases before the courts reconsidering the position of "best endeavours", "reasonable endeavours", and "all reasonable endeavours" and as such the current interpretation of these terms may be subject to change.
Building a Boundary Fence
The Fencing Act 1978 prescribes the steps that a person must take before building a fence on or near the boundary with a neighbour. It is a three step process:
1.Send a fencing notice
The neighbour wishing to build, replace or repair a boundary fence must notify the other neighbour(s) about the type of fence and materials to be used, the cost of the fence and the details of when the work will start and who will do it. The notice must also confirm that the neighbour(s) may object and make a proposal of their own or may refuse to accept liability (if good reasons exist to do so) for the cost of the fence.
The neighbour(s) to whom the fencing notice is given may object to any element of the proposal and may provide a counter proposal.
3.Build a fence or negotiate
If there is no objection (either because the neighbour does not respond or accept the proposal) within 21 days of the date of the fencing notice, the process is complete and the fence may be constructed as per the fencing notice and the costs split 50/50. However, if there is an objection, the neighbours must come to an agreement and if they cannot do so, either party may refer the matter to a mediator, adjudicator, the Disputes Tribunal or the District court.
Strange and Wonderful Land Covenants
Land covenants are standard in residential developments. They are essentially the rules that the owners and occupiers of land within the subdivision/development must abide by. They keep the area and properties within that residential area up to the standard hoped for by the developer and the buyers of properties in that area.
Covenants are relatively harmless. They usually confirm the ordinary good neighbour rules that we all try and live by. However, strange and wonderful rules are adopted from time to time. Here are some examples:
- Rules about permitted breeds of dogs and cats and a cap on the number of dogs and cats
- Other general animal restrictions (e.g. no roosters and no more than two chickens)
- Rules about where to place trampolines and other children's toys (e.g. less than 4 metres from a roof)
- Rules to stop certain washing lines and sheds being used including restricting the colour and type

Henry and Cumie Barrow moved their shotgun house from Muncie Avenue to this site on what was then called Eagle Ford Road.
They added on a filling station with proceeds from an insurance settlement and lived in the attached house.
The Barrows of West Dallas did their share of neighborhood brawling.
In 1938, a "23-year-old Dallas hoodlum" named S.J. "Baldy" Whatley threw a Molotov cocktail onto their roof.
Whatley had been feuding with Clyde's brothers Jack and L.C. for years. One night, after a barroom fight with them that involved broken chair legs and beer bottles, he drove by firing shotgun blasts into the filling station and injured Clyde's 65-year-old mother. She lost an eye and almost died. Whatley was given 12 years for aggravated assault.

Laube works within three dimensions using transparent acrylic glass to produce a spatial color effect. Creating a spatial illusion, the layers within each installation transform our visual experience to embrace the present moment.
Notable German painter & installation artist, Michael Laube works on transparent acrylic glass in three dimensions that produce a spatial color effect similar to the artistic styles of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. His body of work transgresses the boundaries of traditional painting in his own unique way, opening them up to different dimensions of space and time. Although the color in his acrylic glass objects and installations remains captured on the surface, it still seems dematerialized, disembodied, and never concretely localized. It becomes part of the surrounding space, woven into a dynamic, variable system of forces that are formed from light.
The refractions, reflections, and highlights of the painted acrylic glass sheets, which are often arranged in layers, transform space into a multidimensional event that can be described anew again and again as one walks past it, thereby ruling out any absolute perception of Laube's works. They challenge the viewer to change perspective and do not conform to the definition of pure objectivity.

Plans to introduce HMO licensing in parts of Bristol could force up rents – with the RLA writing to the city council to object to the plans.
The RLA also has concerns over the council's draft application requirements and the draft licensing conditions for its HMO licensing scheme, proposed for 12 areas of the city.
The new licensing scheme would affect HMOs in Ashley, Bishopston & Ashley Down, Central, Clifton, Clifton Down, Cotham, Easton, Hotwells & Harbourside, Lawrence Hill, Redland, Southville and Windmill Hill and, if given the go ahead would come into force later this year.
The council has proposed a standard licencing fee of £1,660, with a £50 discount for an accredited landlord.
The RLA fears good landlords who apply for licences will have no choice but to pass the costs on to tenants in the form of increased rents, doing nothing to address affordability, while the criminal operators will simply ignore the scheme, as they do many other regulations.,
It also believes a £1,660 fee for a five year licence is an unnecessary financial burden to put on landlords, even with the discounts and that Bristol should pause the rollout until it has assessed the impact of mandatory HMO licensing due to come into force from 1st October.
The consultation response, which can be read heresays: "The Housing Strategy 2015-2020 aims to tackle the range of housing issues that affect people who live in Bristol, however these schemes do little but alienate lawful landlords by burdening them with additional costs, while criminal operators continue to ignore regulations and avoid these additional costs".
It goes on to state that there is little evidence that licensing schemes improve housing standards. This is because the focus of staff becomes the processing and issue of licences, while prosecutions centre on whether a property is licensed or not, rather than improving management standards and property conditions.
The RLA also has technical objections to licensing conditions regarding inventory requirements and the code of Good Management Practice proposed in the consultation documents.
Full details of these objections are explained in the letter.

A small square of these rich bars is enough to satisfy a dessert craving. The flour and oats mixture is somewhat dry after combining, but it serves as both a solid base for the soft butterscotch chip layer and a crumbly, streusel-like topping.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl. Stir in vanilla and egg. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, oats, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Add oat mixture to sugar mixture; stir with a fork until combined (mixture will be crumbly).

(YouTube) (Newser) – The FBI used a Fox anchor to try to sniff out the names of other journalists' confidential sources in the early '90s, according to files unearthed by the Smoking Gun, whose editors believe the anchor in question is John Roland, former anchor at Fox's flagship New York station WNYW. The mole—referred to in the files as "a friend of the FBI"—was asked to discover the identity of the secret informant used for a report on Jimmy Hoffa. story continues below The mole told the FBI that the journalists had refused to name their source but "he did learn that the man resides in New Orleans, and is dying of cancer," the files state. Asked if he was the FBI's man inside Fox, Roland said: "It sure as heck doesn't ring a bell. I'm drawing a complete blank," adding: "I can't say that I wasn't a friend of the FBI or the NYPD. We didn't beat them up like the more liberal news organizations." Files uncovered earlier this week listed an ABC journalist as an FBI source at the time of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Talk Therapy vs. Drugs
Two different kinds of treatment, drugs and cognitive behavioral
therapy, combat depression but affect different parts of the
By Hara Estroff Marano published February 1, 2004 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016
Talk therapy and drug therapy both combat major depression, but an imaging study shows that the two treatments have distinctly different effects on specific parts of the brain.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) changes metabolic activity in the cortex, the thinking brain, to modulate mood states. It works from the top down, altering how people monitor and react to negative emotional stimuli in their environment. Drugs, by contrast, work from the bottom up, modulating neurotransmitters in the brainstem, which drive basic emotional behaviors.
Reporting in the Archives of General Psychiatry, neurologist Helen Mayberg and colleagues at the University of Toronto found that the unique metabolic changes produced by CBT in the cortex reflect newly learned ability to detect troubling emotional stimuli and to keep them out of working memory, where they get amplified by rumination. Such changes may make a relapse of depression far less likely.
The effects produced by both types of therapy point to a larger, complex circuit of depression in the brain. "Our imaging study shows that you can correct the depression network along a variety of pathways," says Mayberg. "Drugs change the chemical balance in the brain through effects at very specific target sites. Cognitive therapy is tapping into a different part of the same depression circuit board."

I have been craving for a good and authentic tiramisu for months now. The tiramisu I had eaten back in one of the trattorias in Rome was heavenly and just delectable. Before that, I had a huge dislike on tiramisu. Well, the ones I had eaten before I had went to Rome was mostly from cafeterias or from bakeries in the grocery store, and not of specialty stores. Those were loaded with sugar and coffee. Instead of of savoiardis, some used sponge cake and replaced mascarpone with cream cheese or a mix of cream cheese and mascarpone. Some tiramisu in here is more like a cake with an even added frosting. In other words, they don't even come close to the delectable taste of authentic tiramisu.
So, here's my version of that tiramisu (although I must honestly admit it still doesn't taste as good as the one I had in Rome, but close, I hope). The recipe is loosely based from the label of Belgioioso Mascarpone tub. I used the same amount of ingredients, but altered the process a little bit. If you're like me who is also worried about consuming raw eggs, then this might be helpful for you. I cooked the egg yolks and replaced egg whites with whipped cream. You can certainly use pasteurized eggs, but I didn't have some, so I used regular eggs.
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup coffee, warm or cooled
- 1 tbsp brandy or cognac (optional)
- about 20 savoiardi (lady fingers)
- 8 oz mascarpone, room temperature
- about 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Using a medium-sized sauce pan, pour water until about half way through and let it simmer. Don't let it boil, just simmer. In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar. Place this on top of the simmering water.
Continue whisking until yolks have thickened, light in color, and sugar has slightly dissolved, about 5-7 minutes. Keep whisking all throughout this time as you don't want to scramble the eggs.
Once the yolks have thickened and lightened in color, take it off from the simmering water. Then to the mixture, whisk in 2 tablespoons of warm or cooled coffee.
This is completely optional and this was also the first time I did this, but add in about 1 tbsp of cognac or brandy.
Then add in your mascarpone and whisk until homogenous.
In a separate bowl, whisk 3/4 cup of heavy cream until it reach stiff peaks.
Then very gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Store this in the fridge while you prepare the assembly line for the tiramisu.
Line up the savoiardi, remaining coffee, the pan you're using, then your mascarpone mixture. This makes assembling them much easier and faster.
Spread about 1/3 cup or so of mascarpone mixture onto your pan. You can use any size of pan, but take in mind that the savoiardi you will need may depend upon it. You may end up with some extra.
Then taking one savoiardi, dip it into the coffee very quickly. You just want a one-second dip as you don't want your savoiardi to end up soggy.
Line the dipped savioardi onto the pan. Repeat the process on the other savioardis.
First layer done, onto the next.
Cover the first layer with another of mascarpone mixture. Then place another layer of savoiardis. Then pour all the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
To top it all off, sift about 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder onto the tiramisu. You can also use shaved chocolate for added chocolate flavor and presentation.
And you're done! Well, almost done. You have to let it sit in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours to cool and set. Letting it cool in the frige is a must. You want to develop the flavors and let the savoiardi soaked in the flavor from the mascarpone mixture. Believe me, it's all worth the wait!

I agree. However, family members are wanting prints. I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered it from B&H at full price (hate that!). However, even though it is "next day shipping," it won't get here before Friday. I just get behinder and behinder. . .
I just had a thought, though. Since I had to order the Spyder at full price, perhaps I need to order a lens that is on sale in order to make up for it!
Makes sense, right?
(That's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
In a pinch, before calibration, I've ordered prints online and picked up at local places like Costco, using their color correction services. That works well enough for things like printing Christmas cards and such for family. That said, I've been calibrated for several years and it's definitely the way to go instead of relying on someone else to get it right.

The owner of TT109, Min, was Mayor of Tjeny (Thinis) and the Oasis, Overseer of the prophets of Osiris and Onuris and tutor of Amenhotep II during the reign of Thutmosis III, in the 18th Dynasty. Unfortunately, little is known about his family: just that his mother was called Say and his sons were Senty (called Iuty) and Sebekmose.
The importance of Min, tutor of the future king Amenhotep II, is clear. On the south wall of the transversal hall of the tomb his role is expressed by the reliefs: in the fourth register, indeed, two small scenes show Min with prince Amenhotep. Min is sitting here facing left with the prince on his lap; a second scene shows him teaching the prince how to shoot a bow and arrow. The texts connected with this scene describe it as a lesson in archery in the court of the palace of Thinis, indicating that the prince actually spent some time in the household of his tutor. The scenes of the archery lesson and the accompanying text are of special importance because they provide the only concrete evidence concerning the duties of a royal tutor. Moreover, these tomb's depictions with the young prince Amenhotep indicate that Min died before Amenhotep became king and never lived to see his nursling take the throne (Amenhotep is only shown as a child and labeled as sA nswt "king's son").
The importance of Min is also stressed by the numerous titles he held. Min was a very important person at the time of king Thutmosis III. In addition to the titles connecting him to the Thinite nome and to the title of Tutor of the future pharaoh Amenhotep II, Min was also: Seal-bearer of the King of Lower Egypt, Overseer of the army of the western river, chief administrator of the Lord of the Two Lands, chief, overseer of the South and scribe.

Miami, Florida - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers working at Miami International Airport (MIA) arrested a passenger attempting to smuggle nine live birds. The passenger was arriving on a flight from Havana, Cuba on Jan. 9.
CBP officers selected the individual for further examination. During inspection, CBP officers discovered that the passenger was concealing six birds in a fanny bag and three birds in the groin area. Both U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) were on-site for the investigation.
The individual was arrested and the birds were turned over to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Miami Quarantine Station. The smuggling of live animals into the United States is illegal per federal law.
"In addition to enforcing both immigration laws and customs laws at the border, CBP enforces laws for many agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service," said Miami International Airport Port Director Christopher Maston.
The men and women of CBP are responsible for enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws and regulations. On a typical day, CBP welcomes nearly 1 million visitors, screens more than 67,000 cargo containers, arrests more than 1,100 individuals and seizes nearly 6 tons of illicit drugs.

A former marketing executive at Magic Leap, who says she was hired to help the tech company become more female-friendly, has filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the firm.
On Monday, Tannen Campbell, a former Razorfish creative director who joined Magic Leap in 2015 as head of strategic marketing and brand identity, filed a complaint against the Plantation, Fla.-based startup that alleges she experienced a hostile environment, sex discrimination and retaliation.
In the lawsuit filed in the Southern Florida District Court, Campbell claims Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz recruited her to help with the company's "pink/blue problem," the term the company used to define its marketing problem. "The company is a large group of men designing a device for men that doesn't appeal to women," said the court document. When challenged to come up with a VR headset that would appeal to women, engineers suggested making it pink.
Campbell alleges the company's leadership unjustly fired her and ignored her attempts to make Magic Leap more female friendly. Her efforts included a 50-page report that highlighted gender diversity statistics in the tech industry and Magic Leap as well as proposed solutions to improve diversity in the workplace.
The suit cites other examples of a gender discrimination, including an employee's suggestion that the company start a social club for bored wives, while their husbands work, and an instance when an IT support lead told employees in new hire orientation, "In IT, we have a saying: Stay away from the Three Os: Orientals, Old People and Ovaries." The executive is still working at the company, according to the court document.
The lawsuit also asserts that the "macho bullying atmosphere" pushed back key product deadlines at least four times in 18 months. Last week, Business Insider reported that the Magic Leap engineering team was still "scrambling" to produce a working prototype of virtual reality glasses called PEQ.
Additionally, Campbell claims that the $4.5 billion company is losing to competitors like Microsoft Hololens because it "seldom hires and does not actively recruit female candidates," whereas "Microsoft, which employs far more females on its team, developed its similar product on a faster time line with more content that appeals to both genders."
Magic Leap has yet to publicly comment on Campbell's complaint.

Guyer & Regules
Elite dealmaker at the top of its game
Guyer & Regules' name is synonymous with prestige and high-end deal making, and so the firm sits very comfortably at the top of Uruguay's legal market. The country's second largest firm celebrated 100 years of existence this year. Today it offers a blend of tradition and enterprise that is appreciated by its long-standing, high profile clients.
Guyer & Regules is particularly notable for its transactional work, pulling in an enviable proportion of Uruguayan deals year on year. This is also a full service firm, with a deep bench across its departments. A great number of Montevideo's most eminent lawyers belong to this dynamic firm's partnership, and they work tirelessly to ensure the firm leads the way in many of the areas of law in which it practises. The firm has increased its associate ranks slightly this year, sticking to its commitment of picking only the best talent, and seems happy not to compete with Uruguay's largest firm in terms of size.
As befits a transactional heavyweight, M&A is a strong suit under Nicolás Herrera, Nicolás Piaggio and Álvaro Tarabal. The corporate group is praised for being "a team that executed its role with accuracy and creative solutions when needed."
Herrera and Piaggio are successful promoters of the firm's name overseas and command particular respect in the marketplace, with one financial client likening their technical skills to those of top lawyers in New York and London (Piaggio is ex-Linklaters) and rightly noting their preference for deals which are innovative and multijurisdictional in nature. Another says Herrera is one of the most experienced lawyers and smartest dealmakers to come out of Uruguay in the last two decades, while Tarabal is "extremely competent, knowledgeable and well-connected."
Piaggio had a prolific 2011. His headline transactions include his work on the Montes del Plata paper mill plant. He and tax head Juan Manuel Albacete have been advising on the US$1.9 billion project, helping to win environmental approval and to secure an agreement with Uruguay's state-owned electricity company to tap into the country's national electricity grid. Piaggio also worked on the more controversial Botnia pulp plant, which saw Argentina take on the mill owners and Uruguay over allegations of pollution. There are plenty more examples of standout deals; Piaggio and younger partner Juan Manuel Mercant won the file for ING when it sold off its regional assets to Colombia's Grupo Sura for US$3.8 billion and advised BBVA in the latter stages of its US$100 million acquisition of Crédit Uruguay. Piaggio helped Geely International, China's largest private automobile maker, in a joint venture with Uruguay's Nordex to establish a new assembly plant in Uruguay. Tarabal helped Colombian supermarket chain Éxito (part of France's Casino group) in its acquisition of two local retailers, and the M&A team was called upon by Brazil's third-largest meatpacker, Minerva, when it bought Uruguayan meat processor Pul for US$62 million. Piaggio also helped local supermarket chain Supermercados Multiahorro add three large supermarkets to its portfolio. ING was not the only financial institution to call on the firm for a multijurisdictional M&A; Leonardo Slinger provided local counsel to Zurich Financial Services in its purchase of a majority stake in Santander's regional insurance business for US$1.6 billion. In more general corporate work, Mercant and Slinger helped US-based APAC Customer Services open its first Latin American call centre in a Uruguayan free trade zone.
Antitrust is a developing area of law in Uruguay and one Guyer & Regules is keen to excel in. Juan Manuel Mercant is leading the way, making his name in milestone cases. He and Nicolás Piaggio helped Supermercados Multiahorro to a landmark victory after a local brewer refused to sell its products to its chains, which saw the country's new antitrust agency fine the brewer.
The skills of Nicolás Piaggio and Álvaro Tarabal are as evident in banking and finance as they are in M&A. Piaggio's work for Montes del Plata saw him help the pulp mill obtain a US$1.35 billion credit facility from the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and Finnvera, the Finnish government's export credit agency, which is the largest financing deal in Uruguay's history to date. Diego Baldomir is another key name in this department, and is often seen helping European development banks provide financing to local companies. Juan Manuel Mercant and Gerardo Porteiro provided counsel to HSBC in its loan to Uruguayan pharmaceutical company Mega Pharma. Piaggio helped US investment fund Sequoia Capital invest in Uruguayan technology company Scanntech.
Nicolás Piaggio's tirelessness extends to capital markets work. He is regularly called upon by the banks for the government's issuances; he worked for Citigroup and HSBC in Uruguay's US$2 billion global bonds placement at the start of 2012, and for Nomura Securities in a samurai bond issuance worth US$490 million. Piaggio also advised Banco Itaú and GAP Consultores in their role in a debt issuance by racecourse owner Hipica Rioplatense.
Juan Manuel Albacete is a leading name in this field, and said to "meet our needs with excellence". He recently helped regular client Telefónica obtain a favourable judgement before the highest Uruguayan tribunal court for administrative matters in a case against Administración Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Antel), the country's state-owned telecoms company. The team is backed up by a sizeable CPA practice.
Carlos Brandes is renowned as having "vast experience in civil litigation and particularly in international commercial arbitration." He and Alejandro Miller assisted the Inter-American Investment Corporation in its case with the International Finance Corporation brought before a Uruguayan appeals court by two bondholders claiming they were misled into investing in bankrupt poultry processor Granja Moro. The judgment found in favour of the two financial institutions, which were both shareholders in the now defunct company.
Guyer & Regules counts two senior statesmen in the field of labour law in its partnership; Leonardo Slinger and Eduardo Ameglio. Slinger has been practising for some 25 years, and is mostly known for his work in litigation and collective matters, such as strikes and occupations and union issues, typified by his victory for Uruguay's Chamber of Industry in challenging the country's collective negotiation law. Ameglio has been active or 32 years, and recognised as a great lawyer with innovative solutions in labour conflicts.
Anabela Aldaz is a noted consultant in this field, having focused on environmental law since 2000. She works with two other lawyers helping clients with permits and compliance and helped obtain the environment licences for the Montes del Plata pulp plant.
Guyer & Regules' elite list of clients reaffirms its leading reputation. The firm helped Citibank set up operations in Uruguay, and counts it and ING, BBVA and HSBC as banking clients. Such prominent financial names turn to this firm because they "always find strong teams that deliver under pressure," in the words of one, "valuing its experience, and the access to official channels that the firm's experience and tradition have successfully developed". One of Uruguay's biggest banking clients says: "It has significant experience and access to regulators, lawmakers, major business players and the judicial system, which works to the advantage of its customers. Given its legal experience and networking capabilities, we confidently recommend the firm to our customers." The Inter-American Investment Corporation and Dutch and German development banks use the firm as do Zurich Financial Services and UK private equity fund Ashmore. One finance client sees the firm as an extension of their office, with shared values on transparency and regulatory compliance. A leading emerging markets investment manager says, "The firm provides an excellent, client-focused and professional level of service."
Prominent global clients in the corporate sphere include Spanish telecoms company Telefónica, cement maker Loma Negra, oil field operation and maintenance company AESA, mining group Rio Tinto, McDonald's Latin American franchiser, Arcos Dorados, and Unilever, whose country manager Luis Maria Rodriguez says of the firm, "They have provided excellent practical and commercial advice… the best legal service we require. The team has demonstrated deep knowledge in these areas and goes beyond the legal aspects, taking the time to understand our business."
The firm attracts companies from Latin America's newer trading partners, including China's Geely International, and advises Latin American companies expanding outside their countries; such as Colombian supermarket chain Éxito and Brazilian beef company Minerva. Local names like Mega Pharma also use the firm. Finnish forestry companies Stora Enso and Metsä-Botnia are key clients. The firm is representing the company and its financers in day to day matters on what is Uruguay's biggest pulp mill. Guyer & Regules fosters deep and lasting relationships with its clients which allow it to become closely associated with their business in all its aspects. One client explains, "The firm provides comprehensive coverage of all areas of investment banking and corporate finance as well as tax advice."
As well as its office in Montevideo Guyer & Regules has a branch in the city's free trade zone which offers offshore services to international clients and is one of a growing group of Uruguayan firms to have a base in the exclusive tourist spot of Punta del Este.
This firm is a strong believer in international law firm networks, and has been careful to pick what it considers to be the best. These are the Club de Abogados, the Lex Mundi network, Multilaw and the World Services Group.
This firm is committed to pro bono, with lawyers each providing a respectable 12 to 15 hours of free legal services a year. Recipients include the Jubilar high school, a private school whose goal is to provide education to the most disadvantaged sectors of the population, and DESEM, the local arm of Junior Achievement Worldwide, which seeks to develop entrepreneurial skills at early ages. Guyer & Regules also successfully negotiated with Uruguay's Ministry of Economy and parliament to introduce to the national budget tax deductions on donations to school and high-school education in low-income neighbourhoods.

Jacob Baumgardner is struggling to get his nonprofit shelter for gay teens off the ground because the building needs a lot of help before it can pass inspection. Raised by his grandparents for part of his life, Jacob feels that the shelter is his chance to honor them, but someone is making things difficult. An anonymous extortionist seems determined to ruin Jacob's late grandfather's good name and keep the shelter from opening.Luka Smith is struggling to find his place in the world after a traumatic event in his teen years pushed him to run. When Jacob hires him to help with repairs at the shelter, Luka falls for his new boss hard. Luka wants nothing more than to help Jacob realize his dream.As they work together to ensure The Promise of Hope Shelter gets off the ground, their feelings for each other only grow. But will a calculating blackmailer close the shelter before it even has a chance?EXCERPT:Note: may contain sexually explicit scenes of a homoerotic nature.
This was a touching story about a man who wanted to do some good and honor his grandparents and people wanted to put him down for it because it was a homeless shelter for gay youth. I admire Jacob and the fight he put towards what he believed in and Luca, sel oh man Luca. He helped Jacob in so many ways! There were ups and downs, but they got through it and figured it out! Really enjoyed this, great background, and again felt like it was there. Your stories always pull the reader in! I hope the sequel to Hope Shelter is Garrett & Patrick's story. What would be cool too, is if you went into maybe some of the boys stories a little, maybe make a series out of it? You have some great characters!

MaisonA is nestled on the side of the hill on the plot. The building is discreet, but its pure lines show great strength of character. The materials used are contemporary, but the whole fits in perfectly with the protected site. The main materials PietriArchitectes used a wood and white concrete.
MaisonA, it is a simple volume built in integrally coloured concrete, with wooden shutters, set over a base anchored in the hillside.
This individual house was built in Maruège neighbourhood. The MaisonA is located in a ground with big plots. The house is not in an allotment.
Several houses were built in this ground and there is few co-visibility. We can place this ground between countryside and city.
Concerning the house arrangement:
In the first floor, there are three bedrooms for kids with private spaces, as well as a living room for family.
The principal view is in the living room on the ground floor, along the hallway.
The bedrooms in the first floor offer beautiful views on the valleys and totally opened. Also, from the terraces there is a 360-degree view. Each room has it own bathroom. These rooms are independent and served by a long illuminated hallway. A common relaxing space brings together the whole bedrooms.

About Pietri Architectes
Founded in 2001 by Jean Baptiste Pietri, graduated from Paris-Belleville architecture school, PietriArchitectes located in Paris has up to about twenty partners. The agency acts especially in Parisian region and South-East of France, with a great diversity of projects. The programs of all types, as well public as private, go to an individual house, an office tower or even a luxury hotel.
The agency claims an architectural approach both demanding and poetic, built and developed around its own philosophy: "the romantic rationalism". This concept connects well a constructive, strict and optimized conception to a precise and meaningful site analysis. The architectures are elegant, soft and timeless. The material nobility takes a primordial place in the project's conception. This way, PietriArchitectes drew a unique ceramic for the undulating back frontage of La Barquière, a 62-housing program delivered in November 2016 in Marseille.
In 2014, the agency won two awards: a mention at Les Trophées VMZinc in the "2014 collective housing" category for Carré Seine, a housing project in Issy-les-Moulineaux, and "Le Geste d'Or" prize for the rehabilitation of La Major cathedral in Marseille. In 2016, PietriArchitectes won with two other agencies the international competition for the Rhine embankments renovation in Huningue. PietriArchitectes is also the winner of two other projects: on the side with Linkcity, for a student residence, a hotel and a nursing home conception located in Asnières-sur-Seine, but also with Vinci Immobilier for a housing program in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
In addition, the agency delivered these last months two projects: La Barquière in Marseille and La MaisonA, a private house in Aix-en-Provence.
Many projects are under construction, such as a luxury hotel named l'Hôtel des Roches in Le Lavandou, a senior residence in Brétigny-sur-Orge or even a housing program in Sarcelles.

(CBS News) LONDON - Millions of people will come out to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee during a four-day holiday weekend, and unprecedented security measures will be in place.
They've been in the works for months now.
Some will be on very obvious display all weekend long, and others won't be seen by the public at all.
It will be the biggest royal security operation in history.
"This will be bigger than the royal wedding in terms of the length of time it's going on for - it's a whole weekend, four days, in fact, of celebrations," says CBS News consultant Peter Clarke, a former head of counter-terrorism for Scotland Yard.
That's like having four royal weddings like last year's, back-to-back.
Over the past month, police and sniffer dogs have been scouring every inch of central London, searching for explosives.
The center attraction is a potential security nightmare: Sunday's Diamond Jubilee pageant.
One thousand boats, with tens of thousands of people on board, will follow the Queen and every other senior member of the royal family down the River Thames.
"This is a pretty unique undertaking for us -- thousands of stewards, 6,000 police officers, combining everything you can think of -- air support, marine support firearms, the good old British bobby, making sure they're visible, looking after the crowd," observes Scotland Yard Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Kavanagh.
They'll be protected by a fleet of Royal Navy and police vessels, ranging from high visibility crafts to unmarked speedboats with specialist armed forces on board.
Police frogmen, already on exercise for the upcoming Olympics, have carried out underwater searches.
More than 1 million people are expected to line the river's banks, and thousands more will be on bridges, which will all be shut down to traffic for the entire day.
Complete coverage: Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee
Security forces - 13,000 of them - will be positioned around London. All vacation leave has been canceled.
"What you're not seeing, obviously, is the covert surveillance that's going on all day, every day, carried out by both MI5 - the security service, and the police to counter the terrorist threat," Clarke points out.
London is no stranger to terrorist attacks and threats.
In July 2005, suicide bombers on subway trains and a bus killed 52 people.
The capital is also no stranger to violent civil unrest. London burned last summer in four days of rioting after the police shooting of an unarmed man.
Authorities appeared powerless to stop the violence.
The Queen's been vulnerable, too. In 1981, a man in the crowd fired a gun with blanks as she rode in front of Buckingham Palace.
And just last month, a lone protester on the Thames was all it took to bring the esteemed Oxford-Cambridge University boat race to a stop.
"There will always be vulnerabilities in any big, open city," Clarke notes. "You can't stop every single threat. ... But what you have to try to do is get ahead of it, and that's what the authorities here have been working on for years to try to do."

Tampa, Florida – Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are capable of becoming any digital circuit and are even superior to computer microprocessors given the right conditions. With the FPGA market expected to clock at $9.8 billion in 2020, many manufacturers are now seeing its application in various devices. Nonetheless, buying rare types of FPGA can be hard, and users may experience excessive markups from mediators. Hence, Direct Components, Inc. sells all kinds of FPGA directly to customers without the charges due to intermediation.
"Direct Components, Inc. has millions of obsolete, allocated, and rare electronic parts. We specialize in delivering integrated circuits, semiconductors, and other tools you need. We also carry major manufacturer brands, which list we provide on our website for you to select from," according to Aaron Nursey, the Direct Components, Inc. spokesperson. They have the best collection of FPGAs that are reasonably priced online. "If what you need is currently unavailable to our end, we have seasoned purchasing agents to find the parts you need at the best price. We utilize our worldwide network of trusted sources just to look for what you need," he says.
FPGAs, http://www.directics.com/fpga-board/, are historically slower and less efficient than its Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) counterparts when processing high-volume data. Now, recent innovations allow a single FPGA to be as powerful as multiple ASICs. Combined with their flexibility and more predictable cycle time, this is now a strong component for consumer electronics. Direct Components, Inc. also sees the potential of FPGA in analyzing web traffic on the internet for its ability to process information in real time.
For more information, visit http://www.directics.com/fpga-programming/.
As a certified provider of FPGAs, customers have assured the products from Direct Components, Inc. are authentic. They know that counterfeits are less reliable and can cause harm to them and their clients. The company has quality and counterfeit control that are included in its quality management system. For instance, Direct Components, Inc. has a list of accredited suppliers that passed their rigid criteria. They also perform regular re-evaluations to know whether these suppliers consistently follow their standards. Direct Components, Inc. also owns an in-house laboratory where the materials they receive are tested for conformance to their standards and counterfeit detection.

The White House has ordered a little-known investigative group to examine the implications of a series of cyber-attacks by suspected Russian hackers against U.S. election data systems.
The attacks include breaches of a voter database used by the Democratic National Committee and voter registration sites in Illinois and Arizona.
The group, known as the Foreign Denial and Deception Committee, works within the Central Intelligence Agency and is a holdover from the Cold War. The committee, whose membership and activities are secret, originally was formed to investigate attempts by foreign agencies to counteract foreign intelligence.
News of the White House order was disclosed by NBC News, which also reported finding a consensus in the intelligence community that Russia is attempting to undermine confidence in the U.S. election system.
Further reading
The involvement by the Russians or other foreign actors was addressed by FBI Director James Comey in his speech to the Symantec Government Symposium in Washington Aug. 30.
In his speech, Comey directly addressed the cyber-espionage activities of Russia, China and other nation-states, expressing his concern. In response to a question, Comey said, "We take very seriously any effort by any actor including nation-states, especially nation-states, that moves beyond the collection of information about our country and that offers the prospect of an effort to influence the conduct of affairs in our country, whether that's an election or something else."
Comey had explained during his speech that some activities by other nation-states, such as gathering information about the United States and its capabilities, are regarded as a normal activity. But the U.S. government takes note when another nation's online activities go beyond information-gathering.
He mentioned the 2014 cyber-attack again Sony Pictures Entertainment carried out by North Korean hackers as an example, saying that this breach by a foreign government of data resources relating to the free expression of any American online entity was unacceptable.
Comey also said that cyber-attacks on U.S. companies by government entities in China were another example of those unacceptable activities. He said that the theft of intellectual property by the Chinese simply to help their business activities was recently addressed by the administration in meetings with Chinese officials, and that he was seeing some progress in that area.
However, the FBI is investigating the cyber-attack on the two state voter registration databases and on the Democratic National Committee. In addition, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has asked the FBI to investigate the possibility that Russia's intervention is really an attempt to tilt the election to Donald Trump, but there's no indication that the FBI has agreed to investigate that angle.
At this point, there's no indication that the Russians or anyone else is attempting to change the outcome of the November presidential elections. However, a scenario that's gaining traction in both the security and the intelligence communities is that the real goal of the cyber-attacks is to sow dissent and chaos into the atmosphere surrounding the election and, in the process, shake the faith of Americans and others in its outcome.
