There is a purpose why Thailand remains so fashionable with backpackers – it's got idyllic islands , a rich tradition, seashore-huts aplenty, tantalising delicacies and adventures galore, and all available at usually staggeringly low prices. Although locals have long identified about poblano food tradition (mole and the chalupa have been both invented right here) and dazzling structure (ornate Baroque churches and the country's oldest public library, for starters), a number of key new resort openings will carry worldwide tourists to this charming, underrated city.
When leaving Mexico, you could return your Short-term Vehicle Importation Allow in particular person and within the automobile with which you entered the nation, to any customs office on the border in order that the permit could be cancelled. In the event you do not cancel your permit, you'll lose your deposit. Make a copy of the cancellation documents. Neither the Canadian embassy in Mexico Metropolis nor the Embassy of Mexico in Ottawa can return these permits on behalf of Canadian citizens. It is not permissible to mail your allow to the border level. Whereas the permit is in impact, you may be unable to import one other vehicle into Mexico. You may be able to cancel the permit on a future visit to Mexico should you enter on the identical border level with the identical automobile; however, a fantastic may be imposed.

Each generation has a feature that crucially defines the way of life. In our times the Internet seems to be that definitive feature. It brings its benefits but also downsides. Although it connects everyone and gives a chance to update your social circle yet we feel more lonely than any other generation. However, you can find a love of your life when you know where to look for it. Think about this way, if you are not lucky with women in your country, the world has plenty of other countries where women would be more than happy to get to know you and appreciate your personality. Stay tuned and read this review to find out some tips to make your search easier but productive.
You have heard lots of stories about mail-order brides. But when it comes to Polish women… who are they and where on earth is Poland? Why makes them so special? How should you treat them? All of these questions popping up to your head and you feel like you are absolutely clueless. Well, you are not the first one to ask these questions and there have been lots of people before you who made the path easier for the newbies.
If I had to sum up a polish girl only with one word, I would go with the word "stunning". You can always tell a Polish girl from the crowd only by her appearance. Silk hair, striking make-up, pouty lips and emphasized lady bits. You know one when you see one. And once you have seen her, you can never forget that beauty and settle for less.
Name me a man who doesn't want to be a hero in the eyes of a woman who has his heart and I will be genuinely surprised. The truth is simple: women just want to feel loved and polish brides are no different. Make your polish sweetheart feel like the world spins around her and doesn't make any sense without her. Show it with your actions, words will not be enough. Cook her a breakfast, buy her a bunch of flowers or just listen to her when she tells you about her day. Be there for her when she needs you most. That is the kind of men polish girls want to have by their sides.
Given a slightly derogatory meaning attached to the term of mail order brides, you can't help but wonder why on earth breathtakingly beautiful girls would like to become brides ordered by mail. Well, the reasons for that decision are as varied as girls themselves. Some fancy the idea of marrying a foreigner who can show them the world because they just do not like local men who spend their time chewing the rag with their chaps over a bottle of zubrowka. Others simply have heard or read stories on the Internet about mail order brides and decided to try it out for themselves. There can be hundreds of unthinkable reasons. My piece of advice for you% It is always better to take liberty along with some courage to ask a girl for her personal reasons when the opportunity presents itself. It is better to do after breaking the ice and establishing the feeling of trust otherwise the girl may feel offended by your straightforwardness and confuse it with rudeness. Choose your words carefully, if you really want to find out her reasons for becoming a mail-order bride.
Girls from Poland, Ukraine and Russia are famous around the globe with their beauty and stunning looks. Even if it is 6 am in the morning, these girls look impeccable. Every detail is meticulously taken care of. They literally look neat from head to toe. Fresh make-up, jewelry, manicure and pedicure along with hot clothes showing off their lady bits. No wonder polish girls are popular among men looking for arm candies. However, these girls are not only good at creating impressive looks. Each and every one of them wants to start a family as well as become a loving and caring mother.
It may sound cheesy but be the best version of yourself. You don't have to lie or hide about your personality but aspire to be a man who keeps his word and create stability at home either by being a breadwinner or a cuddly hubby who never turns his back when his wife asks him for a foot massage.
Luckily for you, with the help of the Internet, you are just some seconds away from meeting a hot Polish wife. Lots of dating websites compete for your attention and money. Personally, I think that you should not be stingy when it comes to paying your monthly subscription. Being a penny-pinching person myself, I decided to pay a subscription for a month to see if the benefits were so cool as people claim them to be. You know what, I felt so relieved from the obnoxious advertisements and could fully concentrate on my search without being distracted. I even switched for an annual option because it helped me to count my pennies better and gave me more time to find the only one right for me. So if you feel like you want to have a hot polish wife but do not know where to find just type that in a google search and you will be surprised with how many dating sites you see.
If you are a well-behaved chap and did as I told you, you will be astonished by the numbers of dating sites providing more or less the same services. However, each of them claims to feature something special. To choose wisely, you should clearly understand what you are looking for in the relationship and what is important for you. For instance, if you are into kinks and can't imagine your sex life without them, you should look into dating sites that gather polish girls who feel about it absolutely the same way as you do. When the kinks are not meant for you but the age of a spouse means the world for you, then customize your search and find a dating platform that is famous among a certain age group. I think you got the way it works, decide what matters for you and customize your search so that you find what you are looking for in the relationship.
Like anything else in this world, having a Polish wife has its pros and cons. Let's take a closer look so that you know what to expect and can decide for yourself whether it is worth it to have a wife from Poland.
As I have already described in great detail, polish girls take their appearance seriously. Whether they are heading to an important party or just making their weekly groceries, they look equally gorgeous. If a visual appearance is important to you, your polish spouse will never let you down and become an apple of your eye.
You will be surprised how polish girls cherish sexual life. They really know how to make you happy and always try to surprise you with something new.
As far as I have experienced it, girls from Poland do not waste your time with a drama. Even when you have a fight, they know how to live up to your expectations and mend anything with sex. From a man's perspective, there is hardly anything that can not be resolved with sex, isn't it?
You will always have some home-cooked meal because a polish girl can't stand you eating junk food. Why would you want to it anyway when you have a bowl of pierogi or zurek cooked for you on a regular basis?
Each polish girl wants to meet a reliable and decent man with whom she can start a family. The family is the most important thing in their lives and that is why they become really good mothers.
Polish girls are more traditional when it comes to the role of a woman in the world. You can be sure that your wife is not a feminist who will refuse to shave her legs or cook you dinner.
It depends on where are you coming from. If you are proud to be born in Western Europe, you are destined to feel the differences in education and mindset of your spouse coming from the Eastern side of your Europe.
Long story short, when you find yourself a polish wife, you will always have an attractive hot girl by your side who will always support you in anything you do and know you better than anyone else in the whole world. She will not only cook for you a delicious meal or satisfy your sexual urges but also make a great mom for your child to ensure your legacy. Take your time and customize your search so that you find the best match to get everything that you deserve.

How has the Brexit vote affected the UK economy?
With Brexit still not having taken place, there has not yet been any changes to the UK's external trading arrangements. Rather, the impact on the economy has come via two main channels: first, the marked depreciation of sterling in the immediate wake of the referendum, and second, the impact that Brexit uncertainty has had on the spending decisions of businesses and consumers.
Less investment
The most recent manifestation of Brexit uncertainty has come in the form of a sharp rise in stockbuilding - companies accumulating extra supplies in anticipation of Brexit-related disruption. Survey data for the first quarter of this year indicates that companies built up inventories as part of their contingency planning ahead of a possible no-deal Brexit. This had the effect of boosting production – factory output rose 2.2% quarter on quarter in Q1, its strongest gain since 1988 – as well as lifting imports of anything from medicines to auto components.
As a result, rising inventories were a key factor in driving a solid 0.5% quarter-on-quarter gain in GDP growth during Q1. However, as the boost from stockpiling will be temporary, the Bank of England (BoE) expects growth to slow 0.2% quarter on quarter in Q2.
A more worrying impact of Brexit uncertainty has been seen in the weakness of business investment since the referendum. After four consecutive quarterly declines, business investment showed an encouraging 0.5% quarter on quarter during Q1. However, as the chart above shows, capital expenditure by businesses has been more or less flat since the referendum, following steady gains during 2010-15. As a result, the share of business investment in GDP has fallen.
Factors other than Brexit might be deterring UK companies from investing. The ongoing US-China trade war dented business confidence around the globe last year. However, since the referendum, UK investment has been far weaker than in any other G7 economy and survey data suggests Brexit uncertainty has been a key factor holding back spending. Indeed, a recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) analysis concluded that since the referendum, business capital expenditure had grown by 5.5 percentage points less than would be expected given the otherwise investment-friendly environment of low interest rates and a competitive exchange rate.
As well as the immediate impact on demand, the stagnation in investment seen since the referendum threatens to further weaken the UK's already poor rate of productivity growth, as workers have less 'kit' to assist them in improving efficiency. A recent study by economists at Stanford and Nottingham universities suggests that Brexit-related effects have reduced annual productivity growth to 0.5% from an already lacklustre post-crisis average of around 1.0%. In combination with lower immigration in the wake of the Brexit vote, weaker productivity growth could reduce the economy's potential growth rates. The Bank of England estimates the UK's potential growth rate at around 1.5%. However, private sector estimates suggest it could be as low as 1%.
More hiring
Rather than commit to long-term investment projects at a time when the outlook is so uncertain, it would appear that UK businesses have opted to hire more workers instead. Since the June 2016 referendum, the number of people in employment has risen by more than one million, and the unemployment rate has fallen to 3.8% - its lowest level since 1974.
A tightening labour market has ushered in faster wage growth, with growth in average weekly earnings excluding bonuses rising to a post-crisis high of 3.7% year on year in January, before easing back to 2.9% in March. An acceleration in inflation following the post-referendum depreciation in sterling – which lifted the cost of imported goods – ate into household's real incomes.
However, with inflation falling back to below 2% from the post-referendum high of 3.1% in November 2017, wages are now rising around 1.5% in real terms. In turn, falling unemployment and increased purchasing power has helped fuel household consumption, which rose a solid 0.7% quarter on quarter during Q1.
Stretched consumers
However, the legacy of negative/weak real wage growth during 2017 and much of 2018 has been lower saving and increased borrowing. The household saving ratio (gross saving as a percentage of gross disposable income) fell sharply since the referendum and stood at just 4.5% at the end of 2018, down from 7.8% at the beginning of 2016.
When borrowing is taken in to consideration, the post-referendum squeeze on incomes has seen UK households move to a position where their outgoings outstripped their income for the first time since 1988. At the beginning of 2016, UK households were net lenders (saving more than they were borrowing) to the tune of nearly £8 billion, but they turned net borrowers during Q4 of 2016 and have been so ever since, with net borrowing at £4.4 billion in Q4 of last year.
Low interest rates and bond yields
Of course, one of the reasons why consumers have reduced saving and increased borrowing is because interest rates are so low.
Anticipating a sharp downturn in the economy in the wake of the referendum, the Bank of England (BoE) cut interest rates to 0.25% in August 2016, and raised them in November 2017 and August 2018 back to 0.75% as the economy stabilised. However, the risk of a disruptive, no-deal Brexit has worked against a further hike in rates, while also depressing market expectations for the future path of interest rates.
In its May Inflation Report, the BoE revised up its growth forecasts (to 1.5% in 2019 and 1.6% in 2020) and projected inflation above its 2% target and rising at the end of its 3-year forecast period. In the press conference following the publication of the report, BoE Governor Mark Carney warned investors that "there are insufficient hikes in the current market curve to be consistent with our remit" - in other words, rates would have to rise further than markets currently expect if the BoE is to stop inflation rising above the 2% target.
JP Morgan estimate that, based on the BoE's assumptions for growth and the amount of slack within the economy, policymakers would need to raise interest rates to 2% by 2021 to keep inflation sustainably at the 2% target. However, investors remain fearful of a disruptive Brexit and are sceptical that growth and inflation will pick up as the BoE expects. Even after Carney's warning, markets still anticipated just one 25bp hike by 2021, which would leave the policy rate at just 1%.
In turn, the shallow path of rate hikes expected by the market has the effect of depressing longer-term interest rates and the yields on UK government bonds (known as gilts). Uncertainty over Brexit, and the ongoing risk of a disorderly departure, is also likely to have fostered 'safe haven' flows into gilts, pulling down yields. It is interesting to note that prior to the Brexit vote, 10-year gilt yields traded much in line with their US counterparts. In May 2016, for example, the US 10-year yield of 1.85% was just 42bps above the UK equivalent of 1.43%. However, fast forward to May 2019 and the yield gap has widened to 130bps, with the US 10-year yield rising to 2.41% and the UK gilt yield falling to 1.11%.
Brexit is clearly not the only factor weighing on gilt yields. Ultra-low rates in the eurozone, along with strong demand from UK pension funds, and the BoE's bond holdings, have kept a lid on yields. However, Brexit uncertainty and the associated weakness of future growth expectations have undoubtedly played a part.
The cost of uncertainty
Nearly three years on from the Brexit vote, the dire projections of 'Project Fear' have clearly proved overly pessimistic. The economy has avoided recession, real GDP is around 5% higher than at the time of the referendum and unemployment has fallen to its lowest level since 1975.
However, the referendum result has undoubtedly left its mark. The pound, in trade-weighted terms, is still down around 10% from pre-referendum levels. Higher prices for imported goods have squeezed real wages and taken their toll on household finances. Despite hopes for a boom in exports, the annual trade deficit was wider in 2018 than it was in 2015. Uncertainty has held back business investment, threatening to further jeopardise the country's already lacklustre rate of productivity growth. Interest rates and gilt yields are probably lower than they would have been in the absence of the leave vote – good news for homeowners with mortgages, but bad news for savers seeking low-risk, inflation-beating returns.
What if we hadn't voted to leave? Counterfactual growth estimates should, of course, be taken with a pinch of salt. However, separate studies from both the Centre for Economic Reform and Goldman Sachs suggest the UK economy is currently around 2.5% smaller than it would have been in the absence of the Brexit vote.
The hope is that, if and when the Brexit situation is clarified, business investment will rebound and the growth shortfall will be made up. The risk is that failure to reach an agreement will prolong the uncertainty.

Mokuma Kikuhata
Kaikai Kiki Gallery
When Takashi Murakami opened his Kaikai Kiki Gallery in 2008, it was natural to assume that the program would be all Superflat all the time. That hasn't been the case. In particular, over the past year or so the gallery has organized a number of quietly impressive exhibitions for older artists who operate outside Murakami's usual circuit, from the lauded Mono-ha figurehead Lee Ufan to the underappreciated abstract painter Kazumi Nakamura. The latest entry in this informal series is Mokuma Kikuhata.
Born in 1935 in Nagasaki, on the island of Kyushu, Kikuhata rose to stardom in the early-1960s anti-art scene in Tokyo, where he became known for totemic sculptural installations and mixed-media assemblage paintings. Soon enough, however, Kikuhata repudiated the postwar avant-garde, dedicating himself instead to researching the work of the naive coal-miner artist Sakubei Yamamoto, and

ShotTracker & Keemotion
: USA and Europe
Keemotion, a 2014-founded company offering automated broadcasting and data generation solutions for basketball games. Their technology has, for example, be chosen by SFR Sport.
Objective / insight
Nowadays, many basketball games can only be seen in the arena since the cost of offering a high quality broadcasting is sometimes too high
Statistical data about the game is normally entered by human employees and is either not very specific or not given instantly
Implemented strategy
Keemotion developed an automatic broadcasting equipment and a cutting edge software, that operates without neither cameraman nor statistician

Basketball fans have therefore an instant access to key events of games online, events that they would never have been able to watch without being in the arena otherwise
Fans can also now have access to the statiscal performance of each player in real time. Many coaches and managers even use Keemotion to analyze their games faster and more conveniently. The Golden State Warriors and Columbia University can, for example, be found among Keemotion's customer
Technology implemented
Pattern recognition algorithms have been developed thanks to a massive database of basketball games
All the equipment is totally automated. No human intervention is needed.
Cloud technology has been implemented to share videos in real time
Operating for 6 professional leagues
Partnering with professional clubs from 10 different countries
Recorded over 16,000 games, most of which would never have been recorded otherwise

Updated plans for Welwyn Garden City's Panshanger airfield unveiled
PUBLISHED: 13:11 27 November 2017 | UPDATED: 13:18 27 November 2017
The latest plans for around 650 homes at Welwyn Garden City's Panshanger airfield were unveiled last week.
As well as the housing, updated proposals include a two-form primary school, community centre, six gypsy and traveller pitches, open spaces and access to Green Belt land to the north.
The site is part of Welwyn Hatfield Council's Local Plan – currently being assessed by a planning inspector – and includes "the opportunity" for re-provision of a grass runway.
Several parties are interested in reinstating a community airfield, but critics previously voiced fears that insufficient space had been left.
However, a spokesman for landowners Mariopsa Investments and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) said that the proposed development does not prejudice that opportunity.
"Independent groups are in discussions with the council with regard to exploring the opportunity for accommodating a realigned grass runway on the Green Belt land," he added.
"It is for third parties to come forward with proposals and arrangements for its delivery."
Another controversial element of the plans was the amount of mineral extraction that needed to take place before housing could be built.
The spokesman said the county council has agreed that gravel extraction will be "opportunistic", so would take place at the time of preparing the site for construction, with some material being redeployed on the site.
He added: "For example, in creating a new sustainable drainage storage pond, there will be the opportunity to extract gravel which can be used on site in the construction of paths or roads."
Although theoretically anywhere with housing is an "opportunity" for extraction, the spokesman stressed that is likely to be minimal as digging deep holes – such as one for a drainage system – would not be necessary.
It was also revealed that a minimum of 30 per cent of dwellings would be "affordable housing", and there would also be an allocation of plots for self-build homes.
Following last week's public exhibitions, the landowners now aim to finalise the masterplan before submitting an outline planning application early next year.

Prince Li is going to sing at the Swan Princess Music Festival Competition along with other groups who will also join the Festival. Princess Mei Li has a boyfriend named Chen who is under a spell forced to live as Dragon.

Overhearing the conversation she runs out to meet Chen to tell how they can break the evil spell with Princess Odette's help. Chen gain his human form by sunset for only a few moments. But Chen disagrees at first thinking that its only a dream or something else.
At the Chambers Prince Li is preparing his things to sail to the Swan Princess Festival. Li feels so sure that he will win and he wished that his sister may come to see him sing. But Mei Li refuses. The next day Mei Li Stows away and sneaks inside one of the lounges from her brother. Ru his loyal friend and servant noticed that but he didn't say any word. While hiding Mei Li watches Chen fly with them.
At the Kingdom Uberta is observing how Lord Rogers shows the participants the statue of Scully the brave Scullion who saved Odette from Forbidden Arts and so many dangerous moments. Lucas now grown into a handsome young man meets Alise who is playing the harp very good the same piece of music that her parents loved. Lucas gives Alise tulips the same flowers he gave it to her when they were children. As Prince Li arrives at the Kingdom Alise and Lucas were playing a little bit but she has to go meeting the Prince. Prince Li gives Odette the box and Mei Li sees Odette and she knew she is the one who can help. Alise and Prince Li dont seem to like each other. That night Mei Li enters to the Castle to search for Odette and Chen was also there. Mei Li explains to Odette and Derek about the spell. They promise to do whatever they can to help them.
Soon the contestants are presented by Chamberlain. And Chamberlain announces Princess Odette who makes grand entrance wearing a beautiful dress.
Lucas and Alise gain feelings and having her dance card she puts Lucas' name as the second place to be the next dancer while her father is the first one on the list.Humbelani tires his best and so the others but Alise unintentionally says out of loud to Lucas that everyone could win except Prince Li and the audience went quiet. Li leaves feeling hurt.
Queen Uberta tells Alise that she must apologize to Li for her behavior. Lucas and Lord Rogers light communicate and Lucas can be a little jealous. So the next morning Alise and Prince Li meet and as he sees Alise's harp, he starts to play it very good and both play the instrument so perfectly good making Lucas even more jealous. Meanwhile, Mei Li, Odette, Derek and Chen go to Swan Lake the place where Derek confessed his feelings to Odette when she was under Rorthbart's spell. Odette and Derek explain that he was tricked by Bridget causing Odette to die. Using the same words that Derek said to Odette Mei Li tries to break the spell but nothing works. Chen is forced to turn back into a dragon.
Derek thinks that the only one who can help them is Scully. Scully agrees to help them as well and he found something to break the spell. He needed Blood of a dragon. So Derek tries to use is arrow and some blood left Chen's body. As he drinks his own blood he's still a dragon.
Scully must go to the Kingdom of Cathy to find something. An evil sorceress was the one who probably cursed Chen. Scully tries to read something in Chinese. As he remembers what was written,He told Derek that he should write what Scully have seen. As Mei Li reads it she is horrified that someone has to sacrifice something special.
Alise and Prince Li are now friends and it seems that they have falling in love with each other and trying to give their first kiss but Lucas spoils their romantic moment. Alise goes to Lucas and he says: How can you choose him I don't understand. Lucas is still jealous and Lord Rogers tries to cheer him up.

Settlors of offshore trusts frequently appoint a 'Protector' to supervise the trustees' administration of the trust and to ensure that they are acting in accordance with their duties, with the extent of the Protector's duties and powers being set out in the trust deed. Protectors are often trusted friends, family members or professional advisors and they are often given the power to remove and appoint trustees.
However, relationships between Protectors and other parties to a trust can occasionally deteriorate, resulting in in disputes focussing on the Protector's conduct, and calling for his or her replacement.
Two recent offshore judgments illustrate the types of disputes that can arise.
In the representation of Jasmine Trustees Limited & another [2015] JRC 196 (Jersey)
In Jasmine Trustees Limited [2015] JRC 196, the Royal Court of Jersey provided clear guidance on the fiduciary duties owed by those charged with appointing and removing trustees and Protectors. This case related to two family trusts, the Piedmont Trust (P Trust) and the Riviera Trust (R Trust). There was a relationship breakdown between a father and his sons, on the one hand, and his daughter, following contentious U.S. litigation. The beneficiaries of the P Trust included the father, sons, daughter and their children. The father was the Protector of the P Trust and Jasmine Trustees Limited (Jasmine) was the trustee. The beneficiaries of the R Trust were the same as the P Trust, but with two additional adult beneficiaries. The father was the Protector and both Jasmine and Lutea Trustees Limited (Lutea) were the trustees.
The father exercised his purported powers as Protector to:
- Remove Jasmine and Lutea as trustees and appoint another firm (Kairos) in their place (despite there being unanswered questions and a lack of consensus among beneficiaries regarding Kairos).
- Retire as Protector of the R Trust and P Trust and appoint his sons in his place.
In the event of a Protector's retirement, the P Trust deed required a majority of adult beneficiaries to appoint a replacement. All beneficiaries except the daughter consented to the sons' appointments.
Jasmine and Lutea challenged the validity of the appointment of Kairos, while the daughter sought a declaration that the appointment of the sons as Protectors was invalid due to their conflict of interest and past behaviour.
The Jersey Court referred to the Cayman Islands Grand Court decision of Re The Circle Trust [2006] CILR 323 and agreed that the power to appoint a Protector or a trustee is a fiduciary one, even when vested in someone other than a trustee (such as a Protector or even a beneficiary, as in this case)[1]. The court then set out a non-exhaustive list of principles for fiduciaries when appointing trustees and Protectors:
- To act in good faith and in the interests of the beneficiaries.
- To act as a reasonable appointer would.
- Not to act for a ulterior purpose.
- To only take into account relevant matters.
The court was careful to note that its powers were only supervisory in nature and that it would not overturn decisions simply because it would have decided otherwise. However, the court found that there were cases where a decision was so unreasonable that the court should intervene.
The court decided that the father's pronouncements as Protector had been invalid for unreasonableness. With respect to the appointment of the new trustee, the court agreed with Jasmine and Lutea that the father had failed to establish that Kairos had the relevant expertise and financial standing. The court, and the parties, agreed that the father's purported removal of Jasmine and Lutea was so closely linked to the appointment of Kairos that they could not be separated. Ultimately, the court ordered that neither Jasmine, Lutea nor Kairos should be trustees and that another, untainted firm should be appointed.
As to the appointment of the sons as Protectors, the court was careful to indicate that it would not normally have intervened with the appointment. There was no inherent problem with the potential conflict of interest in having the brothers act as both Protectors and beneficiaries (and, in fact, the settlor of the trust had initially contemplated the father being both Protector and beneficiary). Further, it was found that the P Trust deed contemplated that the father's children would succeed him as Protector anyway, despite them being beneficiaries too.
However, the court ultimately agreed with the daughter that her brothers were unlikely to act in her best interests. In particular, their conduct in the context of the U.S. litigation evidenced their willingness to act contrary to their fiduciary obligations, and because they had historically displayed a willingness to always follow their father's word. Further, the appointment would be detrimental to the trust because the daughter would surely challenge any of the sons' decisions on the ground of conflict of interest, thereby making the trust unworkable.
In the matter of the K Trust (Guernsey Judgment 31/2015)
In Re K Trust (Guernsey Judgment 31/2015, Unreported, July 2015), the relationship between the beneficiaries (including the settlor's widow) and the Protector (a close friend of the settlor) deteriorated when the Protector attempted to take an overly proactive approach following the retirement of the original trustee. Despite the insistence of the 14 adult beneficiaries, the Protector refused to stand down without a suitable replacement of her choosing. She further sought a blanket indemnity from the trust for any past liability arising from her actions as Protector, a matter regarding which the trust deed was silent. The trustee agreed with the beneficiaries that the trust was unworkable without a new Protector and so the beneficiaries applied to the Royal Court of Guernsey to remove the Protector.
In the absence of Guernsey authority on the matter, the court looked to other jurisdictions, such as the Jersey case of In the matter of the A Trust [2012] JRC169A, where it was held that the guiding principles for removing Protectors are akin to those applicable to the removal a trustee. The broad principle is that primacy must be given to the welfare of the beneficiaries and to the proper administration of the trust.
In this case, the court held that the Protector was not protecting the interests of the beneficiaries, her continuance would have been detrimental to the trust, and she was ordered to relinquish her position. In particular, the court noted how the Protector had taken on a role more akin to that of a trustee, including attending meetings with her own advisors and examining the trustee's actions 'with a fine-toothed comb'. Further, the trustee was actually refraining from acting in the hopes that the Protector would retire. Ultimately, the court accepted that a 'stalemate' had arisen without any prospect of improvement, making the trust unworkable. However, the court was careful to note that mere hostility and animosity are not, alone, sufficient to found a removal of a Protector.
The court held that the Protector's right to indemnity from the trust, in the absence of a term in the trust deed, depended on whether she acted in a fiduciary capacity. This is because persons, including third parties, acting as fiduciaries to a trust, have an implied equitable right to indemnity for expenses incurred in the discharge of their duties. Where a Protector provides a degree of oversight over the trust, their powers will be fiduciary rather than personal. In this case, the court declined to make any order to indemnify the Protector because such a blanket indemnity would be too wide. Rather, the court held that indemnities granted to third parties should be considered on a case-by-case basis having regard to the circumstances at the relevant time.
These recent judgments demonstrate that the powers exercised by Protectors (or beneficiaries) when removing trustees are fiduciary in nature, and attract fiduciary duties. They reveal the general principles that apply to the removal and appointment of Protectors and trustees, and to fiduciary powers generally. Those appointing trustees and Protectors must be cognisant of their duties and of the fiduciary capacity in which they are acting, and must not overstep their powers lest the trust relationship becomes unworkable. Similarly, beneficiaries must understand their powers, and their limitations, with respect to disputes involving Protectors and trustees.

Matt Mullican
Representing the Work
In 2020, the MAC's will be presenting the first retrospective in Belgium of the Californian artist Matt Mullican. Since the early 1970s, Matt Mullican has sought to structure the world and to understand it using various supports (stone slabs, flags and banners, stained-glass windows or computer assisted compositions, etc.) to establish a truly personal cosmology. This mental map, which he named "the five worlds", refers to the various levels of perception with which he associates colours (yellow for art, red for ideas, etc.). In this way the artist will invade the space of the MAC's to plunge the visitor into the heart of his original universe and confront us with the numerous aspects which characterise human life.
Matt Mullican was born in Santa Monica (United States) in 1951, the son of the modern artists Luchita Hurtado and Lee Mullican. He lives and works in New York and Berlin.
Since 1973, Matt Mullican has had a number of monographic exhibitions around the world, in both museums and galleries.
In 2019, he exhibited his work at NC-arte in Bogota; in 2018, he took over the immense space of the HangarBiccoca in Milan. In 2010, the 12 by 2 exhibition at the IAC in Villeurbanne confronted the works of Matt Mullican with those of "That Person" and in 2005, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne organised Learning from That Person's Work, a solo exhibition of works created by "That Person", the character who appears when Matt Mullican is hypnotised.
His work is found in numerous international public and private collections, notably the MoMA in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Haus der Kunst in Munich, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the MAC's.

   Announced back in August the film "Lawrence of Arabia" was going to be restored in 4K for its upcoming Blu-ray release set for November 13th. But this Thursday October 4th at 1pm and 7pm local time "Lawrence of Arabia" will be played in theaters nationwide(see article here). The film is presented by Sony Pictures Entertainment and NCM Fathom Events, the feature will also contain an exclusive intro by Omar Sharif, news reel footage of the premiere and footage of King Hussein visiting the film set in Aqaba.
My Take:
Im going to see it and you should too. This film almost cleaned house at the 35th academy awards. It won 7 Oscars and won for Best Picture, Director, Art Direction, Cinematography, Original Score, Film Editing, and Sound. It depicts Lawrence's experiences during the first Great War, in particular his attacks on Aqaba and Damascus. You see his emotional struggle with violence, personal identity, and divided allegiance between Britain army and his newfound comrades within the Arabian desert tribes. Not to mention the film has been restored in 4K, if you don't know what that means there are two trailers below. One is the original and the other in 4K, you'll see the difference. For those who are interested in seeing the classic film you can get tickets by going to www.FathomEvents.com and look to find which of the 630 movie theaters will be playing the movie closest to you.

Spanish zoologist (exciting), GIS consultant (not that exciting) and a wanderer by nature (super exciting). I love travelling and I find it very hard to stick to one place for longer than two years. After a few years lost in the UK and Ireland I have just landed on to the amazing mountains of western North Carolina.
My interest for writing started very recently while on a seven month trip around Southern Africa. I joined a total stranger, a wildlife photographer on this little experiment. We created dualnaturebook.com, the story of our trip told by two voices, a kind of 'he said she said' on a safari. We studied cheetahs and leopards for three months in south africa, swam with dolphins in mozambique, got thirsty in the Kalahari and were spied on by leopards while camping in namibia.
Right now we are putting a book together about our trip. It will be called Dual Nature and will be available in september 2011. Join us in our facebook page to get notified as to when the book will be released.

Al Franken was pushed out of Senate by Chuck Schumer in secret bedside ultimatum
New York Daily News
Al Franken was forced to resign from the Senate by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer who reportedly delivered a bedside quit now ultimatum to the ex-Saturday Night Live funny man in a secret meeting as sex harassment allegations mushroomed.
Franken says Schumer refused to allow him to present his side of a damning photo that showed him fondling a female comedians breasts and gave him just a few hours to resign, The New Yorker reported Monday.
Intead, Schumer, sitting on the side of his bed, warned Franken that he would rally Democratic senators against him after summoning the Minnesota senator to his Washington D.C. apartment on Dec. 1, 2016.
I couldnt believe it, Franken said, according to the magazine. I asked him for due process and he said no.
I could have sworn I was told that Gillibrand masterminded the whole plot and everyone else was just a weak-willed lackey.

1. He did NOT fondle her breasts. His hands never touched her. It was a jokey pretense. nt
mr_lebowski (8,924 posts)
6. I don't mean to ... uh .... downplay it ...
But wasn't it just a photo of his flat hand lightly resting on her breast area, and underneath it, there was not only a shirt, but also under that, a bullet-proof flak jacket? And it was just a gag for a magazine cover (or something to that effect)?
I have a hard time with any publication calling that a 'photo of him fondling (the woman's) breasts'.
It really doesn't meet the criteria, as it were.
But maybe that's just me
eppur_se_muova (29,755 posts)
9. It wasn't even clear if he was touching her -- his hand was between her and the camera, but ...
that's all you could say for certain. The photo was taken on board a transport plane, during a USO tour. They were traveling between gigs, and she fell asleep. So they set up a joke photo w/ Franken pretending to grope her. Harmless stuff, and Dems were extremely useful (to Uglicans) idiots to hound Franken out of the Senate.

Franken is a douche bag, Schumer the same. Its fun to watch cannibals...
While I enjoyed seeing the detestable Franken devoured by his own party's shrill absolutism, I thought the actual offense was a ridiculous reason to leave office, calling it sexual harassment is like calling someone doing the the old SCTV 'Crushing their head' perspective shot in a pic an attempt at murder. It was a stupid overreaction but since they're the witchhunters I did like seeing them hunt and kill their own.
What is a 'secret bedside ultimatum'? Several things come to mind and none of them are very pretty.Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit

Traditional orchards are rewarding places to explore at any time of the year. Spring blossom time is the highlight for many, but fruitful Summertime, and the stark beauty of a slumbering Winter orchard are equally magical to me. I never tire of the changing seasons, which play out so clearly in a mature orchard.
The picture above, as tranquil a scene of rural England as your likely to find, could easily have been captured in any one of hundreds of unspoilt traditional orchards throughout the West Country, but in fact it was taken this week in the heart of rural Rutland following a spot of Summer orchard hunting.
As a small-scale cidermaker keen to create ciders from locally grown apples, searching out new sources of available fruit has become a bit of an obsession. Driving through villages and open countryside at this time of year, I've always got half an eye on the gardens and farmland I pass, constantly on the lookout for the remnants of old, neglected orchards, or maybe just a single tree laden with a heavy crop of rosy apples. Not every apple tree produces fruit suitable for making good cider, but you'd be surprised how much of this bountiful harvest goes to waste. Very few people seem to know what to do with a glut of apples these days. The crafts of baking, preserving, and just plain enjoying an apple straight from the tree, are sadly dying out.
Sad yes, but quite an opportunity for us, since many of the people we ask are more than happy for us to deal with the nuisance of a heavy crop of apples littering their gardens. The sheep have this small orchard to themselves at the moment, but come late September the owners have kindly given us access to harvest the apples for our cidermaking. It remains to be seen how much fruit the sheep will leave for us, but even if it's only a couple of sacks full, the chance to spend time gathering apples in this lovely space can be nothing less than a total pleasure.

Khalsa laboured to a goalless draw at Lye in a match where neither side were quite unable to unlock their opponents' defences but in which the home side almost came good late on.
After a scrappy first 15 minutes, Lye moved into the ascendency with Josh McKenzie and Jack Till producing good saves from Sam Arnold.
Josh Thomas had a chance at the other end on 24 minutes, forcing a good save from Matt Sargent before the game settled back into midfield skirmishes and misplaced passes.
The second half was much the same. On 50 minutes a rare flash of inspiration from Lee Chilton saw him feed Dan Westwood whose shot was blocked at the crucial moment by Jack Pearlman and two minutes later Chilton forced a routine save from Sargent after a good ball over the top by Carlo Franco.
Thomas had another good opening on 55 minutes, heading over a delightful Alex Melbourne cross from the left wing and 60 seconds later Lewis Worley flashed an effort wide of Arnold's post.
The last 15 minutes saw Lye finish the stronger. Worley had another good opportunity on 77 minutes, screwing an effort wide of the near post. With two minutes to go Aaron Bishop headed onto the crossbar from a sumptuous left wing freekick.
And with seconds on the clock McKenzie made one of a handful runs that wasn't offside and with the goal at his mercy somehow contrived to roll the ball past the post, much to Khalsa's relief.
Sporting Khalsa: Sam Arnold, Carlo Franco, Alex Melbourne (Luke Adams), Shawn Boothe, Tes Robinson, Dave Meese, Alex Perry, Liam Armstrong, Dan Westwood, Josh Thomas (Mensah Kinch), Lee Chilton. Subs not used: Jay Holdcroft, Rico Taylor, Vidal Hendrickson.

You hear about corporate cultures that are results driven, ones in which people are respected and trusted in their positions because they are the experts in their positions. Does this sound like your company or association?
A culture shift occurs primarily when new leadership arrives. Whenever someone new steps into a leadership position, the culture is undoubtedly going to change in some way, which can change the "way we do things" because of their experience or there being a fresh perspective.
But leaders also enter into an existing culture. Some aspects of that culture can be positive and working well, but there can also be lingering challenges that need to be overcome or repaired… and that takes time and effort because it's not easy to change.
Corporate culture matters. What does a good one look like? They share these attributes:
- This entails a high level of honesty from everyone in the company, no matter their position or importance. Transparency is essential among team members during the course of a project: are we on time, are we confident in what we're doing, do we need help. This honesty extends to client relationships as well, which helps to grow friendship and respect. Leaders, likewise, should be up front about the state of the company and its future, perhaps even offering to share company finances in order help everyone understand what they are working for. This entails an open door policy, where it's actually true.
- Minimal to no micromanaging. Micromanaging never works. It grows anxiety and distrust. Companies with managers and leaders who trust in the expertise of their employees typically have higher employee satisfaction.
- Work hard, play hard. Potlucks, soup cook-offs, design contests, basketball leagues, cookouts, winter tubing – whatever it is, providing opportunities for everyone in the company to gather and share in a meal or activity together is a mark of a good company culture. It doesn't always need to be an event hosted by the leadership. Create spaces with activities where employees can gather on their own.
- Results oriented. Even though procedures and responsibilities are put into place for each part of a process for each role, the overarching goal of getting it done on time and getting it done right supersedes any siloes or personal conflicts. Sure there can be bottlenecks and frustrations, but the focus remains on the end result. If there is a bottleneck, how can we as a team resolve this right now and for the future? Teams that do this well don't hold up the process by blaming others around them; they are part of developing the solution.
- Willingness to share. The success of a company is a team effort. No one person gets all the credit. A positive company culture recognizes the work of others, correcting others if there is misinformation about who "deserves" the credit. Leaders will also share the credit with their team and pass on compliments from clients so that all can share in the success. Many companies, though not required, go the extra mile and offer bonuses or gifts when least expected – sharing the wealth, even though they don't have to.
- Community participation. Invite employees to get involved with community events and causes. Sponsor an event and ask employees to work it, for example. It's not only good visibility for your company, it's keeping life in perspective. Giving back to others will help to cultivate a sense of gratitude and happiness within people's hearts. And for leaders, be open to opportunities employees and clients bring in front of you where you can get involved.
If your company or association's culture is not what you want it to be, to transform it into the type of culture you want will require time to build. It takes an effort and a strong resolve to change how an office works together and plays together. If successful, you'll have happier, more dedicated co-workers who are secure in their roles and flexible enough to work with others to generate the best outcome for your clients.
