A cartoon featuring Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond by one of The Guardian's most prestigious satirists has been branded racist for including a joke about incest.
Steve Bell's Monday cartoon shows the SNP leader saying she would work with a Labour government after the May election but would not compromise on its "core demand" of "incest and Scottish Country Dancing".
Social media outrage took hold almost immediately, with claims the cartoon had been reported to police as a hate crime as tweeters took to the digital barricades. Police Scotland told HuffPost UK it was unable to confirm any official complaints.
The cartoon, which is a reference to a quotation that people should try "everything once, except incest and Morris Dancing" was labelled "racist" and "xenophobic" while "Steve Bell" trended in Glasgow on Twitter on Monday.

For those who are cross at the xenophobic and racist Steve Bell cartoon - complain!!March 9, 2015
Dear @guardian, I'm not even Scottish but could your Steve Bell cartoon today be any more racist? Disgusting.— Melissa Murray (@meljomur) March 9, 2015
If I could see some sense of satire or humour in Steve Bell's cartoon then fair enough but there isn't any. It's just offensive. @guardian— David Fenton (@davefenton) March 9, 2015
Full blown racism from Steve Bell and the @guardian again? Scots = incest! pic.twitter.com/S8w1Boad5Z— Drouthy Scot (@DrouthyScot) March 9, 2015
Read a comment on Facebook that someone's reported the Steve Bell cartoon as a hate crime. Lordy, lordy, catch yersels on.— Stophmcc (@stophmcc) March 9, 2015

Bell's cartoons are merciless on their subjects. He has previously drawn David Cameron as a condom and Nick Clegg as a mask-wearing gimp.

He has also poked fun about the late intervention of the main party leaders before the vote on Scottish independence in September.

Commenting on the page of the latest cartoon, one reader wrote: "I just can't believe this. Shame on you Steve Bell, shame on your editors, and shame on the moderators who edit this. Is this actually the Guardian? Has this app been hacked?
"Breathtakingly offensive. If I was a Muslim or a Jew the law would protect me from this filth. But not, apparently, if I am a Scotsman. You just lost me, I'm off to join the SNP right now. Goodbye."
"We don't support those who trash our nation and people," wrote another who, apparently thinking she had the power to hire and fire at The Guardian, added: "Your p45s in the post!"
But not everyone agreed and felt the cartoon was little different to Bell's other cartoons that skewer and mock politicians.
The SNP / Steve Bell stramash this morning increasingly reminds me of this. pic.twitter.com/1zMepzfxOd— James Doleman (@jamesdoleman) March 9, 2015
Dan Hodges, Telegraph and Total Politics columnist, said it showed that journalists who attacked parties that identified as progresssive faced "the Twitter firing squad" while those who attacked right-wing parties had free rein.
Steve Bell cartoon again proving that as long as you attack the Right, anything goes, but attack the Left and it's the Twitter firing squad.— Dan Hodges (@DPJHodges) March 9, 2015

But there were also people who simply weren't that bothered and may have been feeling left out by the whole controversy.
Steve Bell's SNP cartoon just isn't funny, it's a bit crap. But it isn't racist, wish people would understand this in their OUTRAGE.— Dwayne Pipe (@NudgeAndNurdle) March 9, 2015
I'm not offended by that Guardian cartoon, by the way, and I think calling it "hate speech" is OTT. I also wouldn't call it racist...— Limmy (@DaftLimmy) March 9, 2015
"I love satire, I am a Scot & do not have a problem with this cartoon. I'm also sure that Nicola Sturgeon could not care less about it," a reader commented on the Guardian site.
"But, given this newspaper's cowardly refusal to reproduce the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, one is forced to conclude that (as far as this newspaper is concerned) some targets are easier than others."
Ipso has received complaints about the cartoon but has no power because The Guardian is not a member of the press watchdog.
A spokeswoman for Guardian News & Media told HuffPost UK: "Steve Bell is recognised by his peers - and Guardian readers - as a raw, controversial and talented cartoonist, and his work is often in a pugnacious style.
"The cartoon in question is a commentary on the old joke or saying 'You should try anything once, except incest and Scottish country dancing' and is intended to be viewed in light of this.
"The readers' editor is aware of complaints and will be responding individually."

Last week was super busy for me, I work in a shop and we were launching mid season sale this weekend. I was given the responsibility of marking down all the clothes, so I was working everyday really long hours and there was next to no opportunities for blog posts.
However I managed to take a few pictures and keep up the social media front over on Instagram.
I discovered H&M beauty this week and fell in love with their range of nail polishes. I could have easily brought them all! But I held back and just brought a lovely purple shade which will feature in my September favourites.
On the same day I indulged in H&M, I was shopping with my sister and she wanted to get a new piercing (she currently has 11 so why not add another) so we ventured to Blue Banana and she got a rook piercing.
Later on in the week where I was working an evening shift, I had a day time free where my sister Phoebe and I decided to get her face paints out and have a little experiment prior to Halloween. Phoebe is going travelling to Australia in a couple of weeks and whilst she is not at college and all her friends have gone to uni she is in limbo, so I am valuing every free time we get to spend with her.
We both created 'Pumpkin Kings' and I tried to create a zombie bite on my neck. I have always been creative so I loved it. After I posted it I had an old friend messaging me thinking it was real, is that a compliment!?
Then the week ended with the sale at work. I actually love doing the sale as it means a team of people in the night preparing for it which is always a laugh as it is an opportunity for us all to talk without being worried about being told off and to talk to customers instead. We ended up going for drinks afterwards, we are all friends so I really loved it.
Sale day always means lots of treats for us, and a bake sale was arranged where we raised money for Macmillian. The amount of cakes was insane and we munched our way through slices of chocolate cake and cupcakes all day. I made chocolate cupcakes with popping candy, which I actually dropped on my way in. Typical of me I am the definition of clumsy!
Although I was a busy bee all week it ended with a hefty amount of cake and I couldn't be happier! As October nears I am hoping to get back to writing and enjoying the world of blogging even more.
Thankyou all for reading, how have you spent your week?

Sorry for the lapse in updates, but really not a lot to show. A few things and I was waiting on hearing from my Insurance guy on how much I pay for Ins. both house and car to post that for a monthly item. As it is in Costa Rica it took him forever to send it to me. So here is the update. Pretty boring!
I can post pictures, but to be honest it really was a boring week. We had great lunch for the Expat's group. Oh wait I have pictures of that I should post those. Hold on let me get them!
I had the special This was yummy! and at 4,500 colones along with a piece of cake and all the ice tea I could drink a bargain as well!!!!!! He so should put this in as a regular special! Anywhere that gives you free refills is a place to go!
Pretty good event. They handled all 20+ people very well. Food was good! Service was excellent. I think we could do it here again. If you are in Atenas you should stop by and see them and have a bite to eat!
So as you can see over budget by $700, but we still have month end to get to. We will evaluate the budget and see where we can trim without too much of a sacrifice and see where we land.
Pura Vida!
Don't forget to check out our Cafe Press shop! $3 of every item purchased goes to Charities here in Costa Rica. Also check out our House for Sale and Rent listings as well! If you are traveling and you want a cheap $4.99 a month and good VPN so you can watch hulu, your countries Netflix, and amazon click here. Good for travel or if you live here in Costa Rica. Don't forget about our Amazon shop as well!

I was just saying the other day that Marco and I need more date nights together.
Being a one income family with hectic schedules with all four girls, means these opportunities are precious and few.
Last week I was scrolling down facebook, as I do, and I entered a giveaway at Culture Mami and I won!
Marco and I are off to see Juanes at the Nokia theater.
I'm so excited!
Ready do dance all night!

Police are continuing to hunt the killers of Bobby the Shetland pony more than two weeks after his mutilated was found.
Bobby was found dead in a field off Cleadon Lane in the evening of Thursday, November 3.
He had suffered multiple injuries, including mutilated genitals, which had been caused deliberately.
The RSPCA carried out a post mortem and it's believed Bobby may have died up to 24 hours before he was found.
Extensive inquiries have been carried out to identify those responsible - police have carried out house to house inquiries, made numerous appeals and worked with the local equine community.
Neighbourhood Inspector John Smith said: "Bobby's owner has been left absolutely devastated by his death and we know support has come in from far and wide but that doesn't change the fact whoever is responsible has not yet been caught.
"If anyone has any information that could help we want to hear from them, no matter how small the information could prove to be crucial in our inquiries. At least one person will know what happened and we would ask that person to have a conscience and come forward and speak to us.
"We've been working very closely with the local equine community to offer reassurance to local horse owners and will continue to do all we can to find whoever did this."
Anyone with information can ring Northumbria Police on 101 quoting reference 1050 031116 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Phone wires discovered burning Wednesday morning in Nesquehoning caused phone problems for Carbon County's 911 center and may have contributed to a three-car crash.
Carbon County residents were able to continue dialing 911 while the lines were repaired as calls were re-routed to the Monroe County communications center to Carbon County dispatchers. However, the non-emergency line to the Carbon County communications center was temporarily out of service.

* In response to the Mundane Monday Challenge
* In response to the Mundane Monday Challenge
Took a wrong turn
Got lost as lost can be
Nowhere to go
No one you know
Stopped and got to thinking
Looked back
Looked within
Found yourself
Found who you were meant to be
Poured out your heart and soul
Got hurt as hurt can be
Broken to the core
Feeling like you've lost it all
Stopped and picked up the broken pieces
Put it back together
Felt like something's new
Found love
Found a stronger, braver, more carefree you
Made a wrong move
Felt ashamed as ashamed can be
Questioned everything you ever knew
Worried you couldn't stay true
Stopped and tried to find the calm within
Retraced the steps
Went back to your roots
Found your Center
Found a you that knows better
Gave everything you had
Felt exhausted as exhausted can be
Spread yourself too thin
Just had no more to give
Stopped and tried to refill
Took care of what's important
Chose to love yourself more
Found renewed strength
Found a you that could give even more
Every seemingly wrong turn
Every seemingly poor decision
Lead you to this moment
Lead you to where you're meant to be
Have more belief and less of the doubting
Welcome that lesson
Believe in yourself more
Look to Him relentlessly
Believe everything happens for a reason
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
Judging people is really easy. Some do it all the time without realizing they are doing it. Some even do it in their sleep. We cannot really blame anyone, can we? We live in a society where it is as common as the pollution around us. We know it's there; We take it in; And sometimes, we even cause it.
You see that womanizer you know and immediately roll your eyes. You feel the hate. You feel for every woman who has fallen for and has been deceived by one. Doesn't he have a mom or a sister? How would he feel if what he does happens to his sister? You can't help but shake your head disapprovingly.
You overhear your annoying coworker shouting while on the phone and you think, "Oh, there he goes again!" Why is he rude all of the time? Why does he think he's better than everybody? Hasn't he been taught good manners? You can't help but think that there is no hope for this guy.
Passing on judgment is our default reaction to behaviors that we believe are socially unacceptable. We can never really understand "those people." Well, we never will unless we try to. Let us ask ourselves what would have made us act the same way. Let us try to put ourselves in their shoes.
Maybe, just maybe, that womanizer has never felt the love of a mother. His mom walked out on him when he was still young. Now, trying to get the attention and love of as many women as he can is his way of filling the void his mother left.
Maybe that annoying coworker has been bullied in school. He was called by so many foul names, he lost count of all of them. He was told that he could not amount to anything. Now, his arrogance is his shield. It is his way of ensuring that no one would consider him weak. It is his way of saying that he did amount to something great.
Maybe this act of trying to envision ourselves as inside the person's shoes can help us show more love and compassion. We are blessed to not have experienced situations that would have brought out the worst in us. Or maybe we have, but because of the love of the people around us, we have chosen another path. Judging may be the easier route but there is a more rewarding path. Choose to understand instead.

I took some time recently to tell a story. I didn't use too many words, but the ones I did are important to me. I am proud of what I have accomplished this past year. I set some goals and I really stuck to them. I dug in and shifted my life. If I can have the will power and self-belief to have worked on myself, then I can overcome anything. I can become a more even person. Can keep my patience more. Can let go of a past that sometimes stands in the way of a future or blocks my ability to live in the present.
Wait...this sounds like a Monday's Musing. It is all mixing together these days! I am sharing a page today...a page that has just the right amount of product, heart and sentiment. A page that was inspired by the goodies I was working with...it evolved because of that!
I love a good theme page and this one is no exception. This is a new line by Teresa Collins called Everyday Moments...a new direction for her! I am in love and plan to scrap with it often. I love the sentiments, the die cut messages and the beautiful color palatte. The calendar paper led me to think about the past year. The year where I started out age 40 and decided to make some changes.
I love the typewriter and the crown. I love this quote so much! That button and the little touch of bling!
These cute little letter stickers fit perfectly into the date boxes. I love how they add a touch of pop! I have used these pictures before, but don't let that be a barrier.
I wanted to keep the page simple so the story could be told. Just a few embellishments can add a ton! It helped me to tell my story.
It is a story worth telling....isn't yours?

Judith Denholm and Liz Gilbey Collecting Friends…
Judith and Liz have been friends for over 13 years. They share a number of things in common. Family, travel, yoga and… artwork by Linda E Sale!
What was the first painting you acquired from Linda E Sale?
Liz - 'Reclining Man' – figure drawing - Liz acquired this piece at one of my earliest solo exhibitions. Figure drawing has always been a focus for me – at one time it was almost the only thing I did. I still attend regular sessions and have introduced a digital element by working on my ipad.
Judith – 'Cat Icon' - Judith was attracted to this piece because she likes altar pieces and icons which are also a big influence on my work (Judith really surprised me by reminding me the very first thing she bought from me was one of my hand drawn T-shirts!)
Which piece do your friends/family/visitors like best?
Liz – I find visitors often notice 'Reclining Man' – usually commenting on the physique! I then show them the 'Reclining Lady' – the pieces are 2 very different styles. One is in a very classic style drawn in pencil/pastel/charcoal – the other is more experimental using collage and gold leaf.
Judith – I have 3 Cat paintings/drawings and they are displayed as a group so people tend to comment on them all. They are interested in the fact they are by the same artist but also by the composition. The cats look out to the distance – what are they thinking?! The 3 pieces are also in very different styles – painting, drawing and stencil/mono print.
As an artist it is always a joy when you find people who respond to your work and can relate to what you are trying to express. Both Judith and Liz particularly enjoy the richness of my paintings – often created by the use of gold – but also the spiritual and contemplative effect.
Thanks to Judith and Liz for their on-going enthusiasm and support of my work and for sharing their thoughts about the work they have collected. Linda E Sale September 2017
Sue Kerr: Confessions of an Art Collector…
What was the first painting you acquired from Linda E Sale?
'Inside the Whale' – acrylic on board
This painting is the original artwork used for the cover of James Sale's book of poetry called 'Inside the Whale'. The poems are about a three month stay in hospital where he experienced revelations and visions as he strove to recover. He also received remarkable demonstrations of care, support and love.
My husband Sandy had also endured a serious illness and we had just returned from Scotland where we had spent a week inside the NHS visiting his mother. Within a few days of returning we attended the launch event of Inside the Whale. After hearing the poetry and James' story the painting came to life for me. It is the first painting I have looked at that I felt emotionally attached too. It had a special poignancy for us.
(Like many artists I find it hard to put a price on my work. But this painting meant so much to me and reflected the experience I had shared with James I found it easy to value it highly – not necessarily expecting to sell it. Not even sure I wanted to sell it. And then Sue started to talk to me about how much it also meant to her and it felt so satisfying to know that it was being bought by someone who related to it so strongly)
Which is your favourite artwork?
I find it hard to pick one as they all mean different things to me. The commission for Sandy's 60th birthday is special. Linda seemed to immediately 'get' what I had in mind. She said it felt as if I was 'channelling' the image to her! She does not usually do commissions but said that this one felt as if it would be 'natural'.
I love the life drawings because of the fluid lines. In particular the 'Seated Man' (charcoal) looks as though he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. I felt drawn to this when Sandy was going through a difficult time with his health and it seemed to reflect how he was feeling. They all have emotional attachments. I buy them because they have meaning.
(This echoes my desire to create work that has meaning that can be felt by others and reflected on and enjoyed or be comforted by)
Which piece do your friends/family/visitors like best?
The piece people are often drawn to is a digital painting that Linda did to celebrate my taking part in the local Business Come Dancing charity event! I love it because it reminds me of a very special experience which I thoroughly enjoyed but everyone else seems drawn to it too. They often remark on the flowing limitless lines, the energy and the movement.
Most of the paintings are hung in our hall way – so everyone who visits gets to see them! They also usually get ALL the stories about why I chose them!
Thanks to Sue Kerr for her on going enthusiasm and support of my work and for sharing her thoughts about the work she has collected. Sue and Sandy Kerr currently own 9 works – including life drawing, acrylic, oils and digital pieces.

We were greeted by the Vice President of Parliament (quite a big deal!), Ulla Schmidt, of the Social Democratic Party. She spoke about leadership, her role as Vice President, and the future of interdisciplinary healthcare. It was a short, but very worthwhile visit!
After a 2-hour train ride from Berlin to Dresden, we unpacked at our A&O hostel & grabbed some lunch.
A few blocks from our hostel, we met to take a tour of the Museum of Hygeine. Sounds pretty weird...but was actually very interesting!
We explored the exhibits about "the transparent man", living & dying, sexuality, and dance.
From the Hygeine Museum, we hopped on some bikes to make our way to another destination. We didn't know that our bikes would be a spinoff of our Minneapolis pedal pubs...
Our 7-person bike
Our bike tour led us to the Saxony-Anhalt Chamber of Pharmacists. We chatted with some of the pharmacy chamber pharmacists and other pharmacy students. A German pharmacist from the nearby Dresden University Hospital presented about clinical pharmacy.
Afterward, the entire group discussed pharmacy school in the USA and compared compounding practices.

Edison Educational Robot KitNow more than ever, STEM education is high priority, as high-paying jobs in STEM fields are growing, with an inadequate pipeline of American students to fill them.Much of the effort to institute this is aimed towards middle and high schools, but research shows that introducing STEM early plays a key role in cognitive development and capabilities in these subjects later in life.Much of math and science instruction in schools is abstract and theoretical, and half the job of a teacher is to engage kids in learning these abstract and complex STEM subjects.This is where Edison Robot presented by HamiltonBuhl comes in.For kids, robots are the stuff of the future and science fiction, they are drawn to them. Unlike memorizing textbooks and regurgitating information, kids are instantly engaged and actually want to learn and experiment with robots. And best of all, they're not just learning about robotics, they are learning engineering, math, programming and general science concepts such as sensors.Named to reflect an "inventive spirit," Edison Robot is the result of a genuine passion for innovation and a vision to make electronics, engineering, robotics and programming accessible to as many people as possible.These LEGO® compatible educational robots are clean, safe, reusable, expandable and robust, providing students across all grade levels, from ages 5+, with a range of combinations, and possibilities.Along Edison's face are Lego-compatible plates that allow the Edison robots to be scaled up into sophisticated creations, or even combined and doubled up for a more complicated system.Each Edison robot features a host of sensors and can be programmed using a growing number of FREE software applications:EdWare – graphic robot programming software for the Edison Robot, using drag and drop graphical icons (similar to Scratch and other graphical drag-and-drop programming languages) - making programming fun and easy to learn! Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOs (iPad), Android and ChromeEdPy – the easy to learn, high readability and very popular Python programming language. EdPy teaches a real life programming language and makes text-based programming fun and easy!Each programmable Edison robot interacts with the world via infra-red (IR) transmitters and receivers, line tracking, barcode reading, playing sounds and music, plus sound detection. It's also equipped with two motors with variable speeds, left and right red LED lights and three control buttons.One Edison can communicate with another over IR, with the units also able to be programmed by and controlled with TV and DVD remotes.Each bot is powered by a set of AAA batteries.Why Edison?These LEGO® compatible robots are designed to provide learners with an opportunity to experiment and grow their knowledge, explore their imagination, cultivate their innovativeness and have fun without expensive tools and excessive investment.Affordable and available in single or value-packs each for a full class setProgrammable – Free open source graphical or text based programming softwareLEGO® compatible – Modular and easily expandableEasy to use – With many pre-programmed functions activated by included barcode cardsRemote control – Learns commands from TV/DVD remote controlsSuitable for all ages – From K-12 GradesBuilt to last – rugged and tough, can withstand a car driving over it and still function!Simple download from any device with EdComm cable10 FREE Educational robotics lesson plans

Happy Memorial Day!
I was laying in bed the other night thinking that it wasn't by accident that God allowed the wealthiest country in the world to have the most religious freedom. Perhaps God expects us as His Church to use our religious freedom and wealth to impact the world around us and proclaim Christ boldly to all those who we see. Our family for one is so thankful for all the men and women who have made our freedom possible.
This week has been AMAZING and hard all at the same time. First of….
AMAZING – I was able to let work know about our plans to Belize and everyone has been so encouraging. On Monday when I told my management, I had no less than 5 or so people at work come up and say that they were thinking and praying for me. Even right as I was walking down the hallway to the meeting someone told me they were praying for me. I honestly felt the Bible come alive when I was walking down the hallway…."Since you are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses…" It was awesome! Thank you! The conversation was a "success" and it is bittersweet that my last day employed as a Chemical Engineer is June 15th! WOW~
Next … HARD – Amy and I have started to pack the house. I give her a hard time because she is slow to pack taking a look back and reliving many memories we have had here. We built this house 6 years ago with the intention not to move. We built without any kids, have had 2 kids here, hosted numerous bible studies, parties, and it is just where we have done life for the past 6 years. We will miss the house. BUT….we know that life isn't a house. It is the people around us. We have started to have our night-time calendar fill up with dinners with good friends. We are sad about leaving them! Our friends and family are what have made life so amazing for the past 6 ½ years of marriage! We are sad to leave them back here but excited for everyone to see us in Belize! Note: if you want to get dinner, lunch, coffee, etc. before we leave send us an email!
Praises & Prayer Requests
- Belize: Continue to pray for summer trips. They start in ONE WEEK! Pray for thousands of Belizeans and the missionaries to come to know Jesus this summer! Pray for Boldness in each team in proclaiming Jesus!
- Financial support raising: PRAISE GOD! We are at 94% funded for $2500/month goal! God has literally blown us away. He has exceeded all expectations and prayers. Praise God for providing for us! We are praying earnestly that we can be at 100% funded by June 15th! We know we have just a little bit to go and we are confident the Lord WILL provide!
- If you are considering partnering with us financially, please contact me (email@example.com) or 919.306.7667. Amy or I would love to share with you how you can partner with us in ministry.
- Work for Josh – Pray that these last three weeks that I can be a HUGE light to the workplace, that I can work diligently and leave Merck & Co., Inc. in good standing.
- Spiritual Warfare: Update Madeline's night terrors have slowed. Continue to pray for her to sleep peacefully.
- Moving – We are out of our house on June 16th. Pray for us as we pack up (Amy and I both have our own opinions on how things should be packed). Pray for our marriage. Pray that we are able to work diligently at night but make time for each other and rest!
Thank you everyone so much for those of you who read this and have committed to supporting us through your prayers. We are so thankful and encouraged by your uplifting words, notes, emails, tweets. We love you all!
Josh and Madeline reading their Bibles.
Madeline LOVES swimming…this girl has no fear.

Kitchens Design & Cabinets – Kitchen Showroom Burnley
Getting the most out of your kitchen design starts with planning some key items in advance. We all have a tendency to think of the finished product, and rush on with envisioning our beautiful sleek stylish units, expansive counters, and ample storage. It's easy to overlook the importance of lighting when designing a kitchen – whether that is the remodelling of an existing kitchen or the fitting of new kitchens in Burnley. It is also difficult to "retro fit" lighting solutions, in terms of locating the fixtures, switches and so on, to a virtually complete kitchen.
At an early stage then, you should put some thought in to the type of lighting that you'd like for your space and consider will your choices cater for your needs. In a kitchen, a central light fitting is unlikely to provide illumination for all of your potential workspaces – casting shadows as you try to chop, knead and stir. Identifying the vegemite in the shadows at the back of a cabinet can even be difficult. Of course the central fitting may be sufficiently bright, but unless the space is very small, then chances are the light will too bright, and may be difficult to tolerate over long periods. Also, it may not show off the kitchen to its best effect if it is too overpowering, defeating the purpose of getting a new kitchen look.
Far better is lighting that can be scaled and utilised, depending on use. Certain areas might require particular lighting – in a cooker hood over your hob, for example, or in your cabinets. Other work spaces can be given discrete lighting to throw a "pool" of light that allows for tasks to be carried out safely and efficient. All of these reflect the practical requirements of kitchen lighting. All kitchen designers in Burnley will agree that lighting can also greatly enhance the ambience of the kitchen, with soft lighting creating a warm and welcoming environment. Other lighting can highlight or accent particular features of the kitchen and give perspective and interest to a certain space, and fulfil a decorative function. Each type of lighting you choose to implement should be separately controlled in order to maximise functionality, ambience, and the overall general effect.
The best way to ensure a kitchen that meets all of your criteria is to plan for your lighting in advance, and there are expert kitchen builders in Burnley that are well served to help you in that planning. Ultimate Kitchens is a full service kitchen and bathroom design and renovation company based in East Hawthorn, Melbourne.

Over the years, one of the biggest challenges for businesses — small and large alike — has been understanding who customers are and what makes them tick. And while every brand has its own way of tapping into customers to gain buyer insights, the vast majority of organizations are using buyer personas to guide their marketing and sales efforts.
What are buyer personas?
Ask five people for the definition of a buyer persona and you'll get five different answers, but one of the original and best goes like this: "Buyer personas are research-based archetypal (modeled) representations of who buyers are, what they are trying to accomplish, what goals drive their behavior, how they think, how they buy, and why they make buying decisions."
When people think about buyer personas, their minds often jump to physical characteristics and traits — such as male or female, white or black, white collar or blue collar, etc. — but the truth is that buyer personas deal with buying behavior. In order to develop an effective persona, you'll probably want to flesh out some physical traits, but the point is to dig down and expose buying behaviors.
Here's why you need them
Why? That's the question marketers often ask when confronted with the idea of developing buyer personas for their brand. Why would you spend hours developing fictional profiles when you already interact with real customers on a daily basis? Well, without buyer personas, your marketing efforts aren't as specific and targeted as they could be. You're wasting time, effort and money on unprofitable segments of the marketplace, while failing to fully invest in the customers that matter.
Specifically, here are reasons why you need buyer personas for your business.
1. Guides your writing
From a content marketing and blogging perspective, buyer personas are able to enhance writing and give your team some direction in how to move forward. As marketer Neil Patel puts it, "A persona gives clarity, power and passion to your writing. You will find that when you're thinking of your persona and writing to them, your style of writing will really come alive."
Specifically, personas allow you to write more conversationally. Instead of using generalities, you can use words, phrases and examples that they personally find more effective and powerful.
2. Informs marketing and sales strategies
Personas go much further up the organizational hierarchy than content marketing, though. They actually have the potential to shape marketing and sales strategies.
As business coach Tony Zambito says, "When researched adequately, buyer personas can illuminate who buyers are, the situations they are faced with, how they have changed, and most important — what goals they are attempting to accomplish."
3. Enlightens social media interactions
Social media is obviously very important in modern marketing, but most businesses have very little insight into how they should interact with followers. Suddenly, when personas enter the picture, you have a much better idea of who different individuals are. Combine your knowledge with a cursory look of someone's profile and you can have exchanges that are both effective and positive for your brand.
Instead of accidentally saying something that a particular customer may find insensitive, you can set yourself up for success by wording responses in such a way that makes them feel understood. In the long run — compounded over thousands of interactions with customers — this can totally transform your brand's image.
4. Enhances product development
Businesses thrive on innovation and development. Unfortunately, innovation is nearly impossible when you don't know what your customers want or need. Well, one of the neat things about buyer personas is that your knowledge of who customers are spills over into product development. This increases your chances of developing quality products that resonate with your target customers.
5. Helps your team focus
Let's say your company has a marketing department with 10 people. Since your team is constantly working together on projects and campaigns, you may assume that everyone is on the same page. However, the reality is that every single person has their own unique view of who the target customer is. These differences may be slight, but they unintentionally exist.
Now, let's say your team gets together and spends time developing a buyer persona. Not only are your team members forced to ask questions, debate, expose truths and bury falsities, but everyone ends up with the exact same view of who the customer is. This fundamentally transforms everything and allows your team to focus.
Don't delay any longer
If you're conducting a marketing campaign without the assistance of buyer personas, it's entirely possible that you're damaging your brand beyond repair.
While you may have an idea of who your target customers are, how can you be sure that you're reaching them effectively if you haven't taken the time to identify what's important to them and what they need? Start developing buyer personas today and reap the benefits.

ArtPlace awards Anchorage Museum with $200,000 grant
June 12, 2012
June 12, 2012
Contact: Sarah Henning (907) 929-9231 (w) (907) 250-3352 (c) firstname.lastname@example.com
ArtPlace awards Anchorage Museum with $200,000 grant
Today the Anchorage Museum received a $199,960 grant from ArtPlace, a national coalition of foundations, banks and federal agencies. At a crucial time of rapid climatological, economic and societal change in Alaska, these funds will harness the power of the arts to improve quality of life in Alaska and the circumpolar North. Just 47 of 2,200 applicants nationwide earned a portion of the $15.4 million available this grant cycle.
ArtPlace funds are focused on "creative placemaking," in which partners from public, private, nonprofit and community sectors strategically shape a place's physical and social character. Examples of creative placemaking include artistic streetscaping, converting derelict properties into arts centers, and adapting historic sites for educational purposes.
The Anchorage Museum's project, Northern Initiative, will bring together artists, scientists, historians, anthropologists and community leaders to address the challenges of living in the North and to develop creative solutions. One example of this is the Next North Symposium, which will be held Sept. 5-9 at the museum. The project also will include exhibitions and public events designed to spark conversation and bring forth new ideas. Learn more at www.artplaceamerica.org.
ArtPlace is a collaboration of 11 of the nation's top foundations including the Rasmuson Foundation, eight federal agencies including the National Endowment for the Arts, and six of the nation's largest banks. ArtPlace is investing in art and culture at the heart of a portfolio of integrated strategies that can drive vibrancy and diversity so powerful that it transforms communities.
The Anchorage Museum is the largest museum in Alaska and one of the top 10 most visited attractions in the state. The museum's mission is to share and connect Alaska with the world through art, history and science. Learn more online at www.anchoragemuseum.org.


text: New Delhi: A high powered Congress delegation on Tuesday night urged the Election Commission to reject the votes of two party MLAs, who showed their ballots in the Rajya Sabha election to BJP leaders on the precedent set by it in Haryana and Rajasthan. Briefing the media after the delegation met the Chief Election Commissioner, the second in an hour, former minister P. Chidambaram said there was videographic evidence of the ballot papers of the two Congress MLAs being shown to persons other those authorised to see it. "This is violation of conduct of election rules read with election circulars and instructions sent by the elction commission in the past. There is precedent of a ballot paper of a Congress MLA being rejected on June 11, 2016 in Haryana because because it was seen by persons other than authorised," he said. Chidambaram also cited a similar case in Rajasthan on an earlier occasion. In Gujarat, Chidambaram said that there is ample evidence to show that the two votes were seen by two or three persons other than authorised persons obviously because the votes were in their (BJP) favour. "The Election Commission cannot follow any precedent other than those set in 2016. Our information is that the Returning Officer is rightly awaiting the Election Commission's instructions. The only constitutional authority in this matter is Election Commission which has the right of conduct and superintendence of the elections under the Constitution. The Returning Officer is only an officer. "We have told the commission that it must take a decision as it did in Haryana and treject the two votes accordingly," he said. Asked why the Congress was raking up the issue late and had not done it in the morning, Chidambaram shot back, "This is completely irrelevant. One assumes that the Returning Officer will consider our request at the time of counting but when they refused to go by the circulars and rules and reject the votes we had to approach the elelction commission and bring the matter to the commission. The question is the two votes should be rejected." IANS

Despite my worsening foot pain, this time probably more a result of calf muscle stiffness than the plantar, I managed to pack up our loose non-DC/non-Marvel comics into longboxes for eventual hauling away, now that we no longer need to retain such things in a digital age. Amazingly, Robin then did the DCs and Marvels while I slept! I won't miss the pamphlets, none of which I recall ever re-reading. Besides, art is timeless, isn't it?

The idea for the party was simple; basically it was a wrap buffet. We provided the side dishes and tortillas and each guest brought a different wrap filling. It was a huge success. Kudos to Jon for the idea.
|Photo from Foodnetwork.com
I came with Guy Fieri's Creole Chicken Wraps.
OH MY GOSH! They are so good and super easy. I have made them several times since for dinner, for lunch, for snacks, you name it. The Creole Mayo is out of this world and can be used on ANYTHING.
(I actually just had a tuna sandwich with the Creole Mayo spread on the bread...my mouth is still watering. Oh! and it's really good mixed with Ranch.)
As with most recipes I had to adjust for being in Italy. Here's how I made them...
For the Rub:
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Wraps:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness
- Vegetable oil, for the grill / grill pan
- 4 tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 plum tomatoes, sliced
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 8 romaine lettuce leaves
Make the rub: Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
Prepare the wraps: Whisk the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of the rub in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Toss the chicken with 3 tablespoons rub. Oil the grill; grill the chicken until marked, about 6 minutes. Turn and grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
Lay out a tortilla. Spread with creole mayo. Cube the chicken and arrange down the center of each tortilla. Top with the cheese, tomatoes, onions and lettuce. Roll up and wrap. Enjoy.
Go to foodnetwork.com to get the "real" recipe. Guy Fieri's is a bit fancier...it uses grilled flat bread, Maui onion, and you melt the cheese, but the way I did it worked out just fine too.

I have 14 days of Valentine's Day themed crafts to do! I am so excited about all the 'love'! Little Monkey is a boy in every sense of the word. He has never been very cuddly and he is about as rough and tough as you can get. Little Princess on the other hand is much more free with her cuddles and is much more gentle in general. She hasn't been too into anything as of yet, but I am using February as an excuse to get my girlie on!
Today we did some painting. I used painters tape to make a heart in the corner and I let the kids go to town with paint on the paper.
I decided to put the paint right on the paper and let the kids go all out. I brought paint brushes for Little Monkey and I was going to let Little Princess use her hands, but she wanted to use the paint brushes too! She really likes using the paint brushes, especially the round one. Little Monkey was a lot more meticulous about covering his whole paper. Little Princess ended up covering her whole paper by accident...her sleeve did most of the work. :)
Once they were dry, I took the tape off and voila! I think I am going to write their names in the hearts and the date. I really liked how they turned out.
Tomorrow we are doing some sequencing with stamps!

Robert Blees, Writer of Sirk's 'Magnificent Obsession,' Dies at 96
By Carmel Dagan
February 5, 2015
Robert Blees, a writer and producer for film and television who penned the screenplays for Douglas Sirk's 1954 classic "Magnificent Obsession" and Joan Crawford film "Autumn Leaves," died January 31 in Menlo Park, Calif. He was 96.
Over the course of a show business career lasting more than four decades, Blees amassed a considerable number of credits in television, from "Damon Runyon Theater," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Peter Gunn," "Zane Grey Theater" and "Kraft Suspense Theater" to the 1985 TV movie "Gidget's Summer Reunion." He was a producer of series including "Combat," "Bonanza" and "Cannon."
Blees also served for decades on the board of the Motion Picture & Television Fund.
"While my tenure on MPTF's board overlapped Bob Blees' for only a few years, it didn't take long to appreciate his grace and intellect as well as his compassion for the people of our industry," said MPTF CEO Bob Beitcher. "Bob served the entertainment industry through his tireless dedication as a board member which spanned 30 years."
In addition to his work with the MPTF, Blees was a former board member of Writers Guild of America West and the Producers Guild of America.
Blees was Phi Beta Kappa at Dartmouth College and worked for Time and Life magazines before turning to screenwriting and producing. During World War II he served as a navigator in the U.S. Army Air Corps.
Blees is survived by a son, a daughter and three grandchildren. He was predeceased by his daughter, Kristie, in 1995, and his wife of 56 years, Dorothy, a story analsst at several major studios who died in 1997.
Donations in Blees' memory may be made to MPTF or Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.

Frederick uses late run to top scrappy Lakers
Garrett overcomes cold first half to take lead before falling
Frederick Community College's 10-point halftime cushion Sunday afternoon seemed quite comfortable given that the host Lakers made a grand total of eight first-half shots. One person who wasn't lulled into overconfidence, however, was FCC head men's basketball coach Emonte Hill.
"Our mentality is that we know good basketball teams are going to make runs, and we knew Garrett wasn't going to quit," said Hill, who was absolutely right.
The Lakers, held to 19 first-half points, got nearly that many in an 18-0 scoring spree that included four treys and a traditional three-point play that quickly turned a 36-22 deficit into a 40-36 advantage. Frederick, however, wasn't fazed by that streak – or playing without two starters – finishing the game with a 14-1 run that allowed the Cougars to pull out a 65-52 victory.
The Cougars (21-3 overall, 12-2 Maryland JuCo) didn't take the lead for good until Chris Knight's inside layup with 4:42 left broke a 51-51 tie. Ariel Watson hit the first of two free throws with 4:12 remaining to pull GC within 53-52, but the Lakers (13-10, 5-9) wouldn't score again.
"We wanted our defense to set the tone," said Hill, whose team's defense and Garrett's ice-cold shooting down the stretch combined to foil the Lakers' upset bid.
After Shakil Smith's inside layup stretched FCC's lead to 55-52, Watson (team-high 16 points) missed two shots – including an open potential game-tying trey – on Garrett's next possession. The Lakers then got a defensive stop, but Jermaine Samuel (15 points) missed his own open potential game-tying 3-pointer with 2:15 remaining.
Ben Meredith, who scored a game-high 20 points, converted a driving layup to stretch the Cougars' advantage to 57-52 before Watson missed another trey. Keon Claiborne scored half of his 12 points in the final 72 seconds, four on free throws, to seal the deal for FCC.
"They're the No. 1 seed in our region because they're balanced and they play really good defense," Garrett head coach Dennis Gibson said of the Cougars.
Frederick won with sophomore starting guards Morris Robinson and Dashon Bell held out as a precautionary measure.
"They're both nicked up and we were already locked into the third seed in the Maryland JuCo tournament," explained Hill. "All season we've trusted the 'next-man-up' philosophy and that's what we did today."
That philosophy looked solid in the first half as Frederick opened the game with a 14-4 spurt that Dwayne Garner (12 points) started and finished with 3-pointers. Kenneth Stancell, Jr. (6 points) had two inside layups during the Cougars' early surge.
While Frederick quickly cooled off, the Lakers never heated up in the first half. Garrett didn't break double digits until Vincent Collins' 3-pointer with 9:31 left in the half, which pulled the Lakers within 16-11.
The Lakers were still within five points, 22-17, after Malik Tillman (6 points) bagged a 3-pointer with 4:42 remaining in the half. Frederick, however, restored its 10-point cushion (29-19) by finishing the half with a 7-2 streak that included five points from Meredith.
Garrett's horrendous first-half offensive performance was due in large part to Watson's foul trouble. The sophomore guard picked up two fouls in the first four minutes and didn't play again before halftime.
"We probably depend on Ariel too much for our offense, so it hurt us when he picked up two fouls in four minutes," observed Gibson.
Frederick took its largest lead of the game, 36-22, on a Garner floater with 16:34 remaining in the contest. Garrett responded with 18 straight points, with Watson and Samuel each nailing a pair of treys.
The Lakers took their first lead, 37-36, on Watson's driving layup on the left side of the lane with 13:27 to play. Just 22 seconds later, Nicolas Osborne converted a driving layup on the right side of the lane into a three-point play that gave GC its largest lead of the contest, 40-36.
The Cougars responded with a 7-0 streak, capped by Knight's 3-pointer with 11:34 remaining to give Frederick a 43-40 advantage. All told, there were eight second-half lead changes, the last coming on Knight's layup that broke the 51-51 stalemate.
The Cougars weren't the only ones dealing with injuries. Simun Kovac – Garrett's 6-foot-8 sophomore forward who is one of the top inside players in the league when healthy – is trying to play his way back into game shape.
"Simun is one of the best rebounders in the state when he's healthy," observed Gibson. "When we don't have him, it puts a lot of pressure on Liu [Repsys] to do everything inside."
The Lakers will get a chance to rest and get healthy with a two-week break before finishing the regular season with road contests at Allegany College of Maryland (Feb. 25), Potomac State College (Feb. 28) and Northern Virginia Community College (March 5). They will then participate in the NJCAA Division II Region XX tournament March 9-11 at Cecil College, where FCC is the likely top seed.
GC 97, Chesapeake 62
For quite a while it was a fair question as to whether the Lakers would break the 40-point barrier against visiting Chesapeake College Saturday afternoon. So how in the name of James Naismith did they end up with the ball and chance to reach the century mark in what became a blowout win over the Skipjacks?
It's amazing what a confidence-inspiring, 15-0 scoring blitz can accomplish.
Both teams started ice-cold, with Chesapeake nosing in front, 13-11, on Anthony Tate's layup with 7:39 left in the half. Chesapeake's pressure defense gave the Lakers trouble early, particularly on the wings where the Skipjacks were constantly double-teaming the ball.
Seemingly out of nowhere, however, the Lakers responded with their 15-0 spree behind a red-hot Ariel Watson. The sophomore guard started the run with a 3-pointer from the top of the key, putting Garrett ahead to stay, and scored the final seven points of the surge, helping the Lakers finished the first half with a 43-24 cushion.
"We were able to make the right reads and finish plays," Watson, who scored 22 of his game-high 34 points in the first half, said of the game-turning run. "When they're pressing like that, you have to make them pay for it."
"He's a volume scorer," Garrett head coach Dennis Gibson said of Watson. "When he gets in that rhythm where he feels like he's got it going, he's really dangerous. He's done that all year, but especially the second semester where we've really needed his scoring [due to injuries and ineligible players] to be competitive."
Gibson also cited the role played by reserve guard Nelson Richardson, which had nothing to do with his 8 points and everything to do with his attitude.
"Nelson really sparked us with his energy," observed Gibson, whose Laker had lost three straight and six-of-eight. "He came in and dove for that loose ball and guys got up and were cheering. That changed the game."
Malik Tillman added 11 points, while Vincent Collins scored 9 for the Lakers. Liutauras Repsys (2 points) pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds for Garrett.
Chesapeake twice pulled within 17 points early in the second half, the second time on a Terehk Agnew layup that made it 51-34, but the Lakers answered with a 7-0 run. Jermaine Samuel (19 points) nailed a 3-pointer and Ray Hinton (14 points, 7 assists) converted a pair of layups as Garrett stretched its lead to 58-34.
Garrett took a 64-38 lead on a jumper by Richardson before Tate single-handedly tried to make a game of it. Tate, who finished with a team-high 29 points for the Skipjacks, scored 10 straight Chesapeake points in one stretch, but couldn't get the Skipjacks closer than 20.
Nate Avery scored 13 points for Chesapeake to join Tate in double digits.
Both teams struggled offensively at the start. The game was nearly four minutes old before Chesapeake scored, and the Skipjacks didn't reach double figures until Jordan Alston's hoop with exactly eight minutes left in the first half.
Since Garrett was nearly as cold, Alston's basket created an 11-11 tie and set the stage for Tate's go-ahead layup. The entire complexion of the game changed, however, with Garrett's Watson-infused, 15-0 run.
"We got on that 15-0 run early and were able to maintain the lead after that," said Watson, who scored all 34 of his points in the final 31 minutes.
At the end, the Lakers had the ball with plenty of time on the clock and 97 points on the scoreboard, but Gibson yelled out, "No shot" and the Lakers ran out the clock.
Gibson praised the play of the drastically improved Skipjacks (7-17, 5-9). Chesapeake, coming off a one-win season last year, was in content for a state tournament berth until losing to Garrett on Saturday in their conference finale.
"We were hoping to get into the tournament, but we were just so cold at the start," said Chesapeake head coach Allen Mitchell.
"That team's much better than last year," said Gibson. "They really hurt us on the boards. If we play that game at their place, where they're more comfortable shooting, I don't know if we win."

One very sweet red carpet moment!
Four days after announcing her pregnancy, Jena Malone worked her baby bump on the red carpet for the first time at the premiere of Lovesong at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday, January 25, in Park City, Utah.
PHOTOS: The Cutest Celeb Baby Announcements
The Hunger Games alum, 31, hit the step and repeat in a sleeveless, black and white Sea dress with a plaid bodice. Malone, who's expecting her first child with musician and photographer Ethan DeLorenzo, also donned a matching coat by the label. Candy apple-red ankle booties (and a perfectly matched lip!) completed the ensemble.
While the dress camouflaged the actress' shape then, there was no hiding her bump the day before! Malone posed for photos with her Lovesong costar Riley Keough while wearing a little black dress, which highlighted her shape — especially when Keough put a hand on her belly.
On January 20, the Sucker Punch actress revealed that she was pregnant via Instagram with a bump-cradling photo and a poem. "Womb to womb/To beating wing/I climbed out of the eternal/And into the shape of me," Malone began. "Some words I wrote years ago when I was thinking about my own mother. And the woman she was when she had me. And the woman I was reaching to become. The shape your desires make out of you. The body you become to hold your dreams."

She continued, "It's with two feet firmly on the ground and a heart swelling in an ocean of love that I'd like to share the new shape I am becoming to hold the greatest dream of them all. #babybump #newparents #impossibleproject Polaroid taken by my beautiful hearted baby daddy @uglyhippie."

text: I am working on a Humanitarian aid project. It ties in with getting some of the OLPC Supercheap laptops into some remote villages. Actually, the villages aren't that remote. They are on an island probably 25 miles wide and about 100 miles long. The challenge is that they are sometimes 6000 ft up in a mountain range, and getting in and out is a two day walk each way (or a helicopter trip - not in our budget...) It would appear that the WRT54??'s all run off a 12V DC supply which makes running from a battery/solar cell combo relatively easy. THe other issue is do a directional point to point connection with pairs of these... Any recommendations on antennae to achieve maximum distance? I am presuming some sort of small dish, or similar... thx Peter

Tomorrow and onwards
It's the Elefest! We've really enjoyed elephants in the capital this year, and there's one last pachyderm themed weekend before 2007... it's more arts-based than animal based, but it is held in Elephant and Castle and has a cute name so we're mentioning it in the Culture Crawl. This is the third festival celebrating the creative and cultural diversity of the Elephant and Castle area, and is a showcase for live music, photography, dance, short films and videos by local people. Readings, talks and workshops make up the rest of the programme and it's worth a visit to see the area and its people in their current state before regeneration stampedes across the territory.

Following its decisions of May 27 2014 (published in ATF 140 III 278) and February 26 2015 (4A_347/2014),(1) the Supreme Court recently issued an additional decision dealing with the principle of res judicata.(2)
The dispute arose out of an agreement between a US law firm and a German lawyer on the combination of the US firm and a German law firm founded by that lawyer. The agreement contained a dispute resolution clause in favour of International Chamber of Commerce arbitration in Zurich and was governed by German law.
The lawyer commenced arbitration against the US law firm seeking payment of the difference between the so-called 'floor amount' to be paid to the partners of the German firm under the agreement and the amounts actually paid to him for 2009 and 2010. An arbitral tribunal seated in Frankfurt denied the claim on the grounds that payment of the floor amount was subject to the lawyer fulfilling certain prerequisites, which he had failed to do.
Subsequently, the lawyer commenced a second arbitration against the US law firm seeking payment of the difference between the floor amount and the amounts actually paid to him for 2011 and 2012. The US law firm raised a res judicata objection, which the arbitral tribunal (this time seated in Zurich) rejected by way of Procedural Orders 3 and 5. This tribunal did not find itself bound by the decision of the first tribunal and made its own interpretation of the relevant provision in the combination agreement. Based on this interpretation, it found that the lawyer had fulfilled the majority of the prerequisites for payment of the floor amount, and that the first tribunal's decision was not consistent with the holistic approach required by this provision. Therefore, in its final award the tribunal granted the lawyer's claim, but reduced the amount awarded.
The law firm challenged the award before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court first recalled the well-settled principle that the reference in an arbitration agreement to specific rules of arbitration that contain a provision on the exclusion of challenge, such as Article 34(6) of the International Chamber of Commerce Rules, does not qualify as a waiver of challenge within the meaning of Article 192(1) of the Private International Law Act.(3)
Further to the position of the lawyer and of the tribunal that the law firm should have challenged one of the decisions dealing with the res judicata objection issued before the final award, under penalty of foreclosure, the Supreme Court held that Procedural Orders 3 and 5 were not partial decisions and thus did not have to be challenged directly.(4) Therefore, the Supreme Court found that the challenge was admissible.(5)
On the merits, the law firm did not argue that the awards of the first and second tribunal were identical, recognising that the first award pertained to the floor amounts for 2009 and 2010, while the second pertained to the floor amounts for 2011 and 2012. However, the law firm argued that the first award was binding in respect of preliminary issues arising in the proceeding before the second tribunal. Referring to an international definition of the res judicata principle, the law firm argued that the binding effect should extend not only to the dispositive part, but also to the reasons that were decisive for the first tribunal – including its finding that the floor amounts were due only insofar as the prerequisites "billable hours" and "turnover from billable hours" under the combination agreement were fulfilled, which the second tribunal had disregarded. According to the law firm, application of the national definition of res judicata should have led to the same result.(6)
After reiterating the well-established principles in relation to res judicata,(7) the Supreme Court addressed the law firm's arguments. First, referring to its previous decisions on the issue, the Supreme Court denied that it had not rendered any decision as to whether the binding force of a foreign award corresponds to that of a national state court.(8) It also made clear that there is no legal basis for applying the broad Anglo-American concept of binding effect, as advocated by the law firm.(9) Second, the Supreme Court held that this binding effect applies only if the claim raised has been decided by the arbitral tribunal, and that to determine whether this is the case, the entire award must be considered. The Supreme Court found that the second tribunal had looked into the reasons of the first award and that it had rightly rejected the plaintiff's res judicata objection with full reasoning in Procedural Order 5 because the claims in the two proceedings were not identical.
Therefore, the Supreme Court found that the second tribunal had not violated procedural public policy by giving its own interpretation of the combination agreement and had to do so in order to avoid such a violation.(10)
This decision confirms the Supreme Court's line of decisions in relation to res judicata. In addition, it makes clear that the liberal approach advocated when assessing the identity of the parties in its decision of May 27 2014 (ATF 140 III 278) should not apply when assessing the identity of the claims. It further seems to exclude application of an international concept of res judicata in Switzerland instead of the principle as defined by Swiss law.

David N'gog should complete his protracted £4million move to Bolton Wanderers from Liverpool FC today.
The 22-year-old Frenchman has been a long-time target of Trotters boss Owen Coyle, who is desperate to add a striker to his ranks before tomorrow's transfer deadline.
A fee for the former Paris St. Germain forward has been agreed in principle between the two clubs, and Bolton are prepared to match N'gog's Anfield salary, having already missed out on number one target Daniel Sturridge this summer.
N'gog is now expected to travel to the Reebok Stadium to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical, and a deal should be announced before the closure of the transfer window tomorrow evening.
N'gog has made 94 appearances since arriving at Anfield in 2008, scoring 19 goals, but has found himself surplus to requirements at Anfield this season, following Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish's close-season recruitment drive.
He was left out of the squad for last week's Carling Cup tie at Exeter City, and was again absent as the Reds swept aside his prospective new employers on Saturday evening to briefly top the Premier League table.
His imminent departure will, however, leave Dalglish's squad short of attacking depth. He has Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez and Dirk Kuyt as his forward options, but would ideally like to add another before tomorrow's deadline.
Manchester City misfit Craig Bellamy has been strongly linked, and would be receptive to a return to Anfield, but a move for the Welshman hinges on whether City are willing to release the 32-year-old on a free transfer, and to a potential Premier League rival.
Dalglish, meanwhile, has been busy lowering the Reds' wage bill in recent weeks, following more than £110m worth of investment in his squad since January.
Sotirios Kyrgiakos, Nabil El-Zhar and Emiliano Insua have all been sold, while Alberto Aquilani has joined AC Milan on loan with view to a permanent move. Both Joe Cole and Philipp Degen could follow them, if Queens Park Rangers follow up their initial interest in the pair.
Liverpool signing Sebastian Coates is due to have his work permit hearing today, and his current club Nacional have flown a delegation over to help with the case.
Also set for the Anfield exit door is midfielder Christian Poulsen, with Spanish side Espanyol keen to end the Dane's miserable year on Merseyside.
Poulsen joined the Reds from Juventus for £4.5million last summer, but has failed to make an impact, and made just 12 league appearances last season.
He was left out of Denmark's squad for their forthcoming Euro 2012 qualifier with Norway this week, with manager Morten Olsen claiming he was suffering from stress due to his uncertain club future.
Poulsen himself would welcome a return to former club FC Copenhagen, but the Danes are unlikely to meet his wage demands, and Espanyol hope to tie up a deal for the 32-year-old in the next 48 hours.

Today the kids and I went for lunch and wandered a locally owned book store. We also roamed around a new pharmacy in town and I bought myself some bubble bath. We played mini-golf and went to A&W for a large frosted glass of root beer. We are now home and I am reading blogs and they are on the couch reading their new books. (Geronimo Stilton and Junie B. Jones) I am making bacon and eggs for supper and taking it easy.
Why can't we get more Sundays in a month? I am sure happy that they happen though!
