When it comes to helping the environment, there are a lot of buzzwords around right now. One which you may hear a lot is sustainable living. But what does sustainable living mean and how can we achieve it? Is living sustainably something which anyone can do?
Sustainable living is the process of living our llanet we live onconserve and reuse these wherever possible. Much of our modern-day habits are not sustainable, with an increasing reliance on convenience and speed to enable us to function in our often-busy lives.
Environmental Protection – ensuring that negative effects are minimized, and positive impacts are emphasized. One example of this would be selecting a reusable product instead of multiple single use products to limit the amount of resources required for production.
Social Development – e. For example, ensuring that purchases are made from a company which treat their employees humanely and supports employee health and development.
Economic Development – this is vital to ensure the first two elements are achievable. Effective social development requires financial input, and economic incentives also drive industry forward toward becoming more sustainable.
This third element is the trickiest to achieve. Sustainable economic development involves a complete rethink of our ‘normal’ economic model, where we are encouraged to purchase and consume as much as possible.
One example of how industry practice is changing is the production of appliances with repairable and replaceable components to prolong their working lives.
Putting these elements into practice may sound complicated, but it can actually be very simple to follow these principles by making just a few small changes in our lifestyles.
The sad fact is that if humans continue their excessive consumption of the Earth’s resources there will be disastrous consequences. Fossil fuels, which we are still heavily reliant on, will run out. The damage caused to ecosystems by plundering for resources will cause countless animal species to become extinct. The effects of climate change will accelerate, creating widespread famine and mass migration of displaced people.
Living sustainably is not just for environmental activists. We can all make changes in the way we live our lives which will reduce our impact on the planet. Every single action we make affects the planet, whether this is positive or negative. Sustainable living simply means ensuring that we reduce the negative impacts as much as possible and increase the positive impacts when we can.
Living sustainably not only protects the planet’s resources, but it can also bring about other benefits. Sustainable choices are often beneficial to your health and they can also save money as well. You also don’t need to overhaul your entire lifestyle in one go – here are some suggestions for simple tips to make your lifestyle more sustainable.
Single-use plastics have been in the headlines a lot lately, for all the wrong reasons! Once created, plastic exists forever – it can be recycled but it will never biodegrade. This means our planet is becoming choked in discarded plastic, causing harm to wildlife, and leaching dangerous microplastics into waterways and soil. Creating plastics also require huge amounts of energy and fossil fuels to create.
Have a look at your daily life and see what single-use plastics you may be able to swap or remove. This might be swapping your daily drinks bottle for a reusable option or choosing to purchase vegetables loose rather than in plastic bags.
Many countries are gradually bringing in more renewable energy sources, which is great news. However, as consumers we still have a responsibility to keep our consumption of energy as low as possible. Use energy efficient options such as LED light bulbs and switch off appliances when they are not in use.
It is really difficult avoid packaging in our daily lives, as most products we purchase are packaged in some way or another. As consumers we have a responsibility to make sure that this packaging is part of a closed-loop system, meaning it goes on to be reused or recycled once its initial purpose has been fulfilled.
Try doing an audit of your trash can. What are you throwing away, and how could you swap this to something reusable or recyclable? Is there a packaging free alternative available? Think about how you can reuse some of the packaging you buy; glass jars, for example, are great for storing herbs and spices. Selecting products with easily recyclable packaging, such as cardboard or aluminum, will also help you to reduce the contents of your trash can.
Our food purchases all come with a carbon footprint, often travelling around the world before they reach your plate. As consumers we now think it is normal that we can eat seasonal produce all year round, but this comes at a cost to the planet. To produce fruit and vegetables out of season requires huge amounts of energy and chemicals. The result is a product which is often bland and tasteless compared to seasonally grown local produce.
The best place to start with local and seasonal shopping is at food markets or the grocery store. Check out the country of origin of the fruit and vegetables, you may be surprised how far some of your choices have travelled to get to your grocery cupboard! Making simple swaps to tasty local seasonal produce will also save you money and reduce food wastage, by buying better quality produce with a longer shelf-life.
Clothes dryers might be convenient, but they are one of the highest energy-guzzling appliances we use! Drying your laundry outside will reduce these emissions to zero by harnessing the energy of the sun and wind instead. As a bonus, your laundry will be super soft and smell amazing.
This is the ultimate in food with zero food miles – nothing tastes better than food from your own garden! Many varieties of vegetables are simple for even novice gardeners to grow, and you don’t need a huge plot of land. Some things such as salads and tomatoes can even be grown on a window ledge or balcony! To keep costs down see if any of your friends have a few seeds for you to start off. Making plant trays from some of the items you’d normally throw away with the trash is a great way of reducing waste.
These days we think nothing of water coming from the tap, it seems to be a limitless resource. However, every drop of water has been treated before it reaches your home, and this comes at a cost to the planet. Reducing your water consumption is a really simple way to reduce your carbon footprint.
Cut your water usage by making sure that you only do full loads of laundry and dishes, on the most energy-efficient cycle you can. You can also install a reduced-flow showerhead or water-efficient toilet cistern. Conserve water in the garden by collecting rainwater and using mulches to limit evaporation of water.
Many years ago, dried goods were not sold in the prepacked bags we get today – I can remember going to a store with my grandmother to buy loose beans and seeds! Luckily, we are seeing a return to this in recent years with many zero-waste dried goods stores opening around the world. These shops sell a huge range of dried goods in loose ‘scoop and serve’ bins, so you can fill your own bags and containers. The best part of this swap is you get to make some cool and funky food containers for your store cupboard shelves, rather than lots of horrible plastic packaging!
There have been huge developments in this area in recent years, with several companies now offering sustainable Swapping to an eco-friendly alternative can help reduce waste. Items like spray bottles can be refilled rather than thrown away and use cloths or rags for wiping instead of disposable wipes. It is also possible to make your own cleaning products from simple .
Heating and cooking food can use huge amounts of energy, so it is important that we use this wisely. Try using the oven to cook more than one thing at once to save energy, and batch-cook large amounts of meals for the freezer to be reheated. This is also a great way to make good use of cheap seasonal produce, preserving it for your enjoyment at a later date.
Sometimes it is impossible to use every scrap of food, and we all end up with vegetable peelings for the trash. Composting this rather than putting it in the bin will create natural fertilisernot able to compost at home then try looking for community composting schemes.

An explanation of the organization of the literature review. Why are you taking the approach you're using in the body (see box to the right) of the review?
Chronological: according to date of publication. Not recommended, as this doesn't necessarily show trends or themes in research. Use chronology only if the order of publication demonstrates a more important trend or theme in researchstudies of cigarette smoking in order of publication if that order revealed a change in attitudes or research thematic organization of studi might have geography as a theme, with studies and materials on the smoking habits of students in the southern states contrasted with studies and materials of the smoking habits of students in the Pacific Northwest. Another theme might be economic or class-based, with studies of high school smokers from affluent backgrounds contrasted with studies of high school smokers from working class families.
Methodological: Are the studies included in the literature review survey-based, or experiment-based, or something else?

Figure 1: Commuting patterns between city regions in Yorkshire
01Why Sheffield City Region?
The goal of devolution is to pass down economic powers to the geography that people live and work their lives over. Figure 1 shows the commuting patterns between South, West, East and North Yorkshire. It reveals that there is very little movement between these areas on a daily basis, with most people working in the same city region that they live in.
The county of Yorkshire has a very strong cultural identity. And this won’t change — sub-regional mayors won’t threaten the future of the Tour de Yorkshire, while it makes sense to continue to market the region as a whole to tourists. But it doesn’t operate as one single economy, instead being comprised of at least four separate ones.
If the devolution of economic powers is to be as effective as possible at creating more and better jobs for the people of Yorkshire, then they have to be passed down to the level that the region’s economies operate over. If not then we risk moving one-size-fits-all policies made in Whitehall to similarly ill-fitting policies made at the Yorkshire level.


retained his Srinagar-Budgam Lok Sabha seat with a comfortable margin of several thousand votes.
This is the fourth win in a Lok Sabha election for the 83-year-old three time former chief minister, who has so far lost an election only once in his 42-year political career since his debut in 1980.

 ? Everything I tried - from stickers for those who were doing what I asked to ignoring the negative behavior didn't seem to phase them.
You do need to be firm but also keep your routine the same every day so they know what to expect. Model the behaviors you want them to be doing. Some of them probably don't have a clue how to walk in a line or have quiet feet. Also, you and tour assistaeinforcing behaviors or they'll run right over you guys. Good luck!
That's what I tried to tell my assistants, they need routine. I even showed her my lesson plans where it says "model how to stand in line", "model how to hold a book" , etc. It's the first day, hopefully it'll get better.
Make it fun but be firm! You have to be like a broken record! Say the same way at the same time.
Rules, routines, and rituals a SOOO important. Your assistants have to buy into this.
I  Repetition and CONSISTENCY is what is needed.
? Maybe tape the picture onto popsicle sticks. THen, hold up as needed so that the kids can see what they are to model.

I don't need these as we have no railings, but they look nice:
Awesome looking, but kinda spendy for me. I'd like to figure out a way to keep the garland in place that I drape up over the top of the kitchen cabinets. I just use tape, but I wish there were something nicer..


As I was typing my last post, I got a call from Amtrak informing me that the train would not be running tomorrow as planned so they arranged for us to take a BUS from Montréal to Albany then the train from Albany to NYC. No one could really tell me how long the bus ride would be but they figured around 8 hours since that's how long the train takes. EIGHT HOURS. ON A BUS. WITH A BABY. No thanks! I booked us the last Communauto available in the whole city of Montréal and got a full refund from Amtrak. So we're driving! I also just signed us up for a CAA membership and will hopefully be moving Liliane up to a bigger carseat since I just measured her and she is 29 inches. Yes, 29 inches. Her baby carseat is only good to 26 inches. Ooops. Now I won't even get shortlisted for the Mother of the Year award.
Anyway, we're pretty excited to be driving actually because it will take less time and we can stop when we want, plus we get to listen to cool music and bring more stuff than we would otherwise.
Lots of pictures to come next week!
Inching her way to freedom + Baby Rose
Took this photo à matin. Since I won't be posting for a few days, I'll put a bunch of baby photos up to tide y'all over until we get back from our trip. Yes indeed, tomorrow our little family is getting on a train and heading down to New York City for the weekend. Crazy to take a 5-month old on an eleven hour train ride? We figure it can't be worse than taking a 2-month old on a five hour plane ride, plus it has an adventurous ring to it, don't you think? Riding the rails down to the Big Apple, yippee ki-yay, etc.
Naturally I have a few projects that I'm trying to finish before we go. My plan is to bring our own snacks so I want to make some oatmeal raisin cookies. This is as far as I've gotten:
In other news, Liliane has discovered that she can scoot around on her back, inchworm style. I tried to capture her in motion a few minutes ago...
This is her starting position:
Then she bends her knees...
And pushes herself along the floor like so:
Maybe one day she'll figure out how to do this on her tummy but for now, my baby's mobile!
Last week I got to spend a day with my friends Julie and Joyce and their new baby girl, Miss Rose Victoria Boro-Norman who was born on March 7th. I was not with the program and hardly took any pictures, but Julie kindly sent me these:
She is an adorable little bundle and her parents are completely in love with her. Our first of many playdates!
Otherwise, my latest fixation is daycare. Liliane has been on waiting lists since even before she was born, but since it's government subsidized (only $7/day), it's very, very popular and hard to get into. I get a little panicky when I think about it too much, but I'll just keep doing the follow-ups and we'll keep our fingers crossed. I go back to work in September but I feel like time is going to fly by until then!
I'm off to cross a few items off my To Do list before Stéphane gets home. Have a good weekend everyone!
Posted by Theresa at 13:45 1 comment:
It was Liliane's first Easter and hotdiggity, what a weekend! I am starting to realize that Stéphane and I tend to be activity people - we like to go out and do things and see people and have people over perhaps more than the average family with a five-month old baby, but hey, we're having fun. We figure that the more places we drag her to now, the easier it will be to continue this lifestyle the older she gets. Luckily for us, she's turning out to be quite a social butterfly. We will be putting this theory to the test on Friday when we pack up and take her with us to activity central a.k.a. New York City! More on that later.
Stéphane had Friday off so we took it easy in the morning, then headed out to Toys R Us to spend our gift certificate from my sister-in-law. We got a Diaper Champ (super smell-blocking diaper disposal system) plus a couple of new toys for the big train ride down to the Big Apple and Stéphane found me a sort of pitcher thingy made for rinsing baby's hair in the bath. I love it!
We felt a little guilty basically spending Good Friday at the mall, but it was the only time we could get a car AND I really had to go exchange some clothes that are now too small for Liliane before the 90 day expiration date of the return policy. Can I just say also that we didn't buy anything for ourselves! Except for a quick stop at the Starbucks drive-through :) On Friday evening we headed up to the Mont Royal funeral home to give our condolences to a friend of mine who lost her sister AND her father within about four days of each other. She was holding up amazingly well and I was glad that we made the effort to do that. All in all a good day.
Saturday was my day to do some errands so Stéphane stayed in while I braved the super chilly wind (I'm talking minus 10 at least) to get some groceries for our annual Easter dinner party. It was nice to have the sun shining all weekend but wow, it was cold!! The coldest Easter I have ever experienced. The upside is that all the slush is now frozen so your feet just get chilly, not wet. Since we missed mass on Good Friday, we went instead on Saturday night. If anyone is keeping track of these things, I think extra points should be alloted for not only a) going to church on a Saturday night but b) going to an extra-long special mass and c) bringing our baby along with us! I've never been to an Easter-eve mass and it was actually really lovely. When we came in (only five minutes late!) the lights were off except for a spotlight on a simple tapestry depicting Christ rising from the tomb and the sanctuary was lit by candles held by each member of the congregation. The idea was that we are to be a light to the world, which is something that I've heard often, but it really had an impact on me, seeing all those candles lighting up the darkness. Beautiful.
Stéphane had a hankering to watch the Jesus of Nazareth mini-series that he saw every Easter when he was a kid, so we popped in the DVD and watched some of the highlights if you will. I don't think it's the same Jesus of Nazareth series that I remember watching - this is the Franco Zeffrelli version with lots of well-known actors (including Ernest Borgnine as a Roman soldier!?) and almost everyone speaks with a British accent, including Jesus. It's about 6 hours long all together, but we mostly watched the end. I, sadly, fell asleep and missed the resurrection.
Sunday morning we took advantage of the sunny weather and walked over to my church (although did I mention that it was really, really cold!?) and enjoyed the Easter Sunday service. Liliane wore her new Easter dress and prerequisite white tights, pictured here with matching halo:
Here she is saying "see, it comes with matching bottoms!" And "don't you just love this embroidery?" Clinton and Stacy would be so proud.
Like everybody else in Montréal (and everywhere?), Stéphane and I have a tradition of going out for breakfast after Easter Sunday service. We strolled past all the chic restos packed with brunchers on Bernard Street on our way to the diner in our neighborhood where we enjoyed a $4 plate of eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast and coffee, with a slice of orange and chunk of banana as garnish thank you very much. No highfalutin' brunch for us! For some reason, it's always been a "trucker" breakfast (Stéphane's phrase) for Easter, nothing particularly elegant, but it sure hits the spot! Liliane obliged by sitting in her stroller and playing with her dangly toys while we ate which was good because those vinyl booths were a little too squeezy.
When we got home, we opened Liliane's first Easter card. It was so cute! It came from her Grandma who also sent her some more Pekkle sleepers (my FAVOURITE) which is great since she's outgrown all her other ones... Thanks Mom :)
At least one of us was still dressed up for Easter...
Sunday evening we hosted our annual Easter dinner party. I remember that one of my first blog entries featured last year's Easter party and our friend Eric took our first family picture - Stéphane, a pregnant me plus our first ultrasound:
Awww! I have to say, actually having the baby with us for Easter is WAY more fun. Now that I'm typing this, I'm thinking we should have taken a new family picture THIS year! Oh well. Here are some pictures of our evening:
Colleen took over baby duty which was good because it appears that I am still not able to multitask like I used to...
Mikayla and her new toothless grin...
Emilie hard at work on her egg creation:
Mmm... dip. People go crazy for the vegetables when you don't feed them right away because you are slow to get the chickens in the oven...
Ariel's stained fingers - the price she paid for egg art.
The fruits of their labours:
Pierre lookin' pretty good with a baby!
Thanks to Martha and my new roasting pan, another happy ending to a chicken roasting story.
It was our first annual event since the baby's been born, and I have to say that it wasn't as different as I thought it would be! The biggest changes for me were that I felt compelled to wear an apron (what is up with that??) and I just didn't care about a lot of stuff that would have driven me crazy before. We don't have Easter-themed napkins? The house isn't spic and span? I'm still wearing my shorts when the doorbell rings? Oh well. Stuff like that.
So that was Easter. It's a sunny day again today and the sidewalks are basically clear now so getting outside for a walk is a little easier. As I mentioned earlier, we are heading down to NYC for the weekend on Friday morning. The trick is that we are going by train so our challenge will be to not go crazy on the 10 or 11 hour journey with our wee wiggle monster to entertain the whole way. It will be worth it to get back to one of my all-time favourite cities and see Matthew and Bari to boot. Plus, we figure that (sing along with me!) "if we can make it there, we can make it anywhere" :)

Since there is wet snow falling outside and deep slush adorning the streets of Montréal like the aftermath of a great big slurpee fight, you'll forgive me if I find it hard to believe that it's Easter weekend. In an attempt to make myself believe that spring is actually coming (here today actually!), I bought myself an Easter lily last week - one of my favorite kinds of lilies because of their scent. It brings me back to my Grandma's Easter buns, new girlie dresses and the green carpet in the house where we grew up every time I breathe it in.
Lilies are actually my favorite flowers (with roses coming in at a close second but not red roses and especially not red roses with babies breath or actually anything with babies breath. Although now that I have a baby, I might have to re-evaulate that statement) which is another reason for my daughter's name. It seemed only natural to take a few pictures of her discovering the joy of yanking the leaves off my plant. Happy Easter.

Tummy Time + Vaccuum?
I took these yesterday during tummy time. Forgive the cutesy term, but you are supposed to play with your baby for at least a few minutes every day like this to help them build up their wee upper body muscles. Liliane doesn't really enjoy it so I've been slacking off a little, but she was actually having fun yesterday and I just so happened to have the camera handy...
So adorable, I can hardly stand it.
I took these this morning of Liliane with her new blanket that my friend Deb's Mom made for her. Thank you Nora! She loves it!
She loves sticking her chubby little fingers through the holes.
So since I have decided to take back the housecleaning for the next little while, I need to buy a new vaccuum cleaner. I have a hand-me-down that dates probably from the sixties and it just doesn't do the job anymore. Our apartment has all vinyl tile floors (classy I know but we're renters) and I have a total of two rugs in the whole place. I am a little obsessed with keeping the two rugs free of all the crap that accumulates - my hair, dust, lint, more of my hair, etc. But I need a vaccuum that works also on the vinyl floor since all that aforementioned crap junks up the floor as well. I like the idea of stand-up vaccuum for storage, but I need something that can get into corners and behind the toilet, too. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated since I've never owned a new vaccuum. I know you are out there, fellow carpet obsessed people/family members... you know who you are!
Big news: our side of the street was finally cleared of snow last night! Only 9 days after the big storm. I did take Liliane out yesterday in the carrier and it was such a joy to be outside and breathe in all that fresh air and soak up all that vitamin D. What a treat. Today we'll take the stroller out! Who said that being a stay-at-home Mom isn't exciting??

Liliane is now five months old! I know I say this every month, but it is so hard to believe. It's gone by so fast and yet it feels like we've been doing this for a very long time. I'm thankful every day for our healthy little bruiser! We celebrated by having a busy weekend hanging out with friends and family...
Saturday morning was reading time with Papa while I went outside for the first time in what felt like weeks (probably only a day or two) to do a few errands:
Saturday afternoon our friends Deb and Doug came in from Ottawa to finally meet Liliane. We spent the rest of the day with them and completely enjoyed their company. Liliane was happy as always to have visitors:
Deb and I have been friends since junior high school so it's such a treat for me that she lives only a couple of hours away. We always feel a little less homesick for the West Coast when we get together to pine for the ocean, the mountains, Triple-O cheeseburgers from White Spot and springtime in March. REAL springtime. Like with blossoms and green grass and flowers and everything. Not the Eastern so-called spring of slushy streetcorners, melting dog poop and snowbanks.
On Sunday we went to church in the morning, then headed out to my sister-in-law's house where Liliane spent the afternoon while Stéphane and I went to see "Be Kind Rewind." I forgot the camera so I don't have any photos but imagine a very happy (and apparently well-behaved) baby and my very sweet brother and sister in law (already featured on this blog) taking very good care of Liliane AND also making us a delicious dinner. Once again, so spoiled!
When we got home, we took a couple of photos for posterity:
She was a very giggly baby last night so we took this video as well:
Who knew that having a baby could be this much fun!
It's a beautiful day here in Montréal so once sleeping beauty wakes up, we'll head out to do a couple of errands. Or I'll just stay home and take more pictures of her. I have a concept for her room that I finally came up with this morning... I want to buy 12 identical white frames (à la Ikea) where I can put a black and white portrait of Liliane every month. (Or thereabouts). Might be nice, right? I have at least one per month so far that is frame-worthy.
No news of the squirrel living upstairs, although I did see four of them frolicking in the trees outside AND they left their little prints on our back balcony.
That's about it for today! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Home Europe Albania Albania: New Law on “Territorial Planning and Development”
uthor: Flavia Xhafo February 25, 2015
The Albanian legal framework on territorial planning and development has recently undergone many changes. As of 1st October 2014 the new Law No. 107/2014 “On Territorial Planning and Development”, has come into effect and has repealed the Law No. 10119, dated 23.04.2009 “On Territorial Planning” as well as all related subsidiary legislation. New subsidiary legislation is foreseen to be enacted within 6 months from the date the new law has entered into force (i.e. 31st March 2015) and will enact the procedures and other requirements to issue a construction and development permit, as well as planning instruments and the regulations on development. The responsibilities of territory planning are divided into central and local levels. At the central level, the responsible planning authorities include: (i) the Council of Ministers, (ii) the National Territory Council (‘NTC’), (iii) the ministry responsible for territory planning and development; whereas at the local level, planning competencies are vested with the districts (i.e. District Council) and the municipalities (i.e. the Municipality Council as well as the Mayor). In reference to territory development, the NTC and the mayors competences of the NTC include the approval of the development and construction permits for a variety of complex developments that are related to areas or objects of public and national interest or strategic investments. The new law on territorial planning and development provides three types of permits. First, the development permit constitutes a document that determines the conditions upon which the development of a land/part of land will be conducted. The development permits will be considered as a basis upon which the construction permits will be issued. Second, the construction permit is the document upon which any new construction, renovation, restoration or demolition of existing buildings, installations or temporary constructions will be conduct, except the construction works that will be conducted based on the preliminary declaration. Third, the preliminary declaration for conducting construction works is a self-declaration submitted to the relevant planning authority to report the performance of construction works, considered as nonessential additions at any facility, or having a temporary nature for which there is no legal obligation to issue a construction permit. A novelty introduced by the new law includes the application for construction permits through the website of the Integrated Register of the Territory, which will be conducted based on the “one-stop-shop” principle. The relevant authority will decide on the permit form. The permit should be delivered to the applicant within 15 days thereafter (i.e. from the date the Major approves the permit) or 30 days thereafter (i.e. from the date NT C approves the permit). The entity holding the permit should commence the construction works within 1 year from the date of the permit approval; otherwise the construction permit will not be valid. The new law provides that the period to complete the construction works may be postponed only once. The principle of “tacit approval” has been presented with the aim to ease the procedures for issuing new development and construction permits, with an exemption for the permits that are subject to approval by the NTC or for permits granted for conducting construction works representing high risk. The new law offers favourable incentive, in general, provided for specific investors or applications. At the end of the development process, “the certificate of use” of completed construction will be provided by the relevant authority that has previously issued the construction permit.

ones. What do you do when you have a highly popular product that easily attracts new customers, but you’re unable to retain them for any length of time? When your customer service is top notch but customers are still leaving?
Some of the reasons for these customer defections might be:
- Unable to place an order because of slow response
- Order or transaction confirmation not received
- Transactions which don’t occur when they should
- Very slow system response
- You must have done something wrong. Try again and call back if the problem persists
- We never received your files, can you resend them?

Former Lehman Brothers broker Robert James Reilly of Hingham won’t have to repay a $200,000 signing bonus he received when he joined the failed Wall Street investment bank in 2006, an arbitration panel ruled this week.
The signing bonus was structured as a loan that was supposed to be forgiven in stages if Reilly remained with the company for seven years. But Reilly’s attorney argued that the loan should have been forgiven when Lehman collapsed during the financial crisis four years ago and the assets were sold off to British bank Barclays and other firms.
“He didn’t leave Lehman. Lehman left him,” said Daniel Dwyer, the Boston lawyer who represented Reilly. “Nobody signed up for Lehman thinking it would no longer be here some day.”
Reilly was one of 114 brokers whom Lehman sued for failing to pay back loans after. His case was ation’s.
Despite the latest loss, Lehman has had success suing many other former workers. Lehman Brothers won at least 100 percent of the principal in 14 of 18 cases that were tried, settled another 45 cases and is still pursuing another 20 cases. The arbitration board also dismissed Reilly’s counterclaim for $1.5 million in compensatory damages.
“We have a lot of confidence in these cases and their merit,” said Lehman spokeswoman Kimberly Macleod. She declined to comment specifically on Reilly’s case. </s> September 6, 2011“I urge all home ownFord.

dc.description.abstract Although religion is central to the lives of many people, little attempt has been made to understand its role within work–life conflict, work–life facilitation and more broadly, work–life balance. This study advances current knowledge by examining the role of religion within these concepts, and exploring its moderator influence. This is achieved through investigating the experiences of Australian Muslim men and the religion of Islam, which encourages multiple roles for its followers and involves well-defined physical acts of worship. To test various hypotheses, data were collected in the form of survey questionnaires, either face-to-face or online, from 301 Australian Muslim men. The findings support the proposition that religiosity can be beneficial for work–life balance, rather than competing with work and other non-work roles for time and energy. Furthermore, religiosity canwork-to-life conflict, and work hours and work-to-life conflict, but not between work flexibility and work/life facilitation, and family demands and life-to-work conflict. The findings suggest that religiosity can be important for work–life balance and stress the need for a change in research direction in this area, one that is broadened to include other roles besides work and family, including religion.

I spent most of last Saturday at Australia’s top custom shop, Deus Ex Machina, as one of the judges of the inaugural “Boundless Enthusiasm Bike Build-Off.” There were over thirty bikes in the yard, with chrome and paintwork glinting under the unseasonably hot sun. Before the judging officially started, I wandered around incognito and checked out the bikes. Four machines immediately jumped out at me, and of those four, just one appeared to meet the primary judging criteria: “Making the most with the least”. That bike was Much Much Go, built by industrial designer Nick Eterovic. And by the end of the day, Nick had won not only the First Prize, but also the People’s Choice award.
In being true to the Deus brief of “making the most with the least”, the only money Nick spent went on carburetors (stock), a chain, throttle, clutch lever, suspension, battery, exhaust tubing and paint. That came to AU$735 in total. “The rest was time, hard work and plenty of late nights. Luckily I had lots of good advice and a helping hand when I needed it.” Nick took home a full toolset from sponsors Snap-On, and a pair of Vitesse Moto boots are on their way to him as well. Good work, fella.

It looked nasty,, and that reality came true today for Michigan left tackle Grant Newsome, he will be out for the rest of the season.
Both Jim Harbaugh and Wilton Speight talked about Newsome today.
When the injury occurred a cart came onto the field, Newsome declined to hop on it and ride to the locker room. Instead, he took the long walk (with the help of two others) through the tunnel. That’s toughness at the highest degree. He knew at the time the severity of the injury, but he went out like a gladiator leaving the arena, not a wounded pup.


Craft Show Bootlegs
Anybody familiar with Widespread Panic (or Phish or the Dead, for that matter) knows about the parking lot scene. It is usually full of aging hippies and youngish too-contents. This time was no different. I felt a little old, but not so out-of-place as to feel uncomfortable. Two quotes that stick out in my head...
"There are 11,500 people here and they have six porta-potties. Somebody wasn't thinking."--Some guy standing behind be in line.
"I just woke up. I've been passed out in that van over there...no, maybe it was that van."--Some guy at 8 o'clock on Saturday night.
For those unfamiliar with the scene (I'm none-too-experienced myself, but I've seen it enough to know it)...imagine a lot of people who haven't showered in a while. About 10% of them are selling grilled cheese sandwiches or burritos which in many cases are described as "fatty." About 20% of the people are selling some kind of drink out of the back of their cars. Often beer or water. I saw a few juice boxes this time. About 10% of the people are looking for tickets to the show, 10% are selling counterfeit t-shirts or bootleg tapes, about 10% have dogs. And every twenty minutes or so someone will come by quietly and offer you drugs. It's quite possible to be quite sane and consort with this crowd. But only if you are emotionally prepared for what you'll see.
Somebody at Charlotte's Cricket Arena (formerly the Independence Arena) must have been eating a really good steak or watching a really good game when they set up the schedule for this weekend.
We got to the parking lot about 4:30 on Saturday. We sat at the back of the vehicle, sipped some beers, and watched the show go on around us. By 5:30, the lot was full and in full effect. Music was playing, the police weren't interested in the drug dealers yet, the smell of grilled cheese was everywhere. The masses were gearing up.
Then we saw the woman with Christmas Tree pin on her shirt and a big Santa Claus shopping bag. She looked lost and scared. She couldn't find her car. She didn't look like she belonged in this particular lot. Another woman who had found her car wasn't fairing much better. She couldn't fit the mid-sized fake Christmas tree in the trunk. She was trying to do it as if she were the young sex pot in a horror flick and all the hippies were the killers. Mothers and grandmothers were wandering aimlessly through the parking lot, clutching their children and shielding their eyes from the sin.
The woman could've been smart instead of scared. If they'd just opened their cars and started hawking their wares (Fatty Christmas Trees, Kind Wicker Baskets!) they would've made a killing.


Qing “Ken” Yang is a serial entrepreneur, The University of Rhode Island computer engineering professor has a winning formula: secure grants, conduct research at the school, start a company, hire employees, repeat.
“It’s a positive loop,” Yang says.
His latest startup, VeloBit, Inc., has attracted more than $5 million in venture capital, employs 15 and counts more than 500 customers around the globe. In July 2013, it was acquired by HGST, a Western Digital company.
VeloBit’s software squeezes more speed from solid-state “flash” disk drives that are becoming standard in servers. The software – installed in under a minute – identifies frequently accessed files and places them in cache closer to the central processor. The software saves companies money by minimizing the need to buy pricey new hardware.
McCallum, an even-keeled executive with a Harvard MBA, says Yang demonstrated the essential ability to articulate his research, prove its mettle and sell it.
In 2007, University officials helped him file a patent application and in 2012 the U.S. government issued patent 8,140,772. It became Yang’s tenth patent, and since then Yang has secured two more and has additional applications pending.

 </s> Q: Read from file number of characters from a given position - C I have a file called "cache.txt", where I have some data. I have a  unordered_map, cache, with a pair of ints as value, where : the first element from the pair represents the number of characters I want to read, and the second the position from where I want to read. The key from the unordered_map, comps, is not relevant.
int number_of_chars = cache[comps].first;
   --number_of_chars;
A: If you are using text streams (and apparently you are, because you open the file in mode "r", not "rb"), then the only position values you can pass to fseek are 0 or some value returned by ftell. In other words, you cannot count characters read yourself and use that count in a call to fseek.
If you use binary streams, then you can count the bytes read yourself, but OS uses to represent newlines will not be translated to a newline character. Because there is no way to know how a given OS handles newlines, it's impossible to portably read a text stream in binary mode.
In short, you should take the requirement in the C standard library seriously. Make sure that the offset you are storing in your map came directly from a call to ftell. ("Directly" means that you cannot even use ftell(file) + 1; only ftell(file).)
Unix/Linux programmers can get away with not dealing with the above, since Posix mandates tes, and only requires that fseek use a value returned by ftell for wide streams. But if you are using Windows, you will find that trying to use fseek to return to a byte position you computed yourself does not work. And if you are not using Windows, you should ask yourself whether your program might someday be ported to Windows.

Prostacyclin Analogs for the Treatment of PAH
Jeffrey S. Sager, MD, MSc · University of Southern California
Several prostacyclin and prostaglandin IP receptor aulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). These analogs work by
Epoprostenol is a very potent and powerfupotential mortality benefit. Drawbacks include infusion requirements, short half-life, and risk of serious complications
Treprostinil is available in multiple forms. It can be administered intravenously at lower infusion rates with smaller pumps because of its stability and longer half-life, and it can be administered subcutaneously, via inhalation, or as an oral formulation
Iloprost is available as an inhaled formulation. It has a short half-life, requiring 6 to 9 inhalations throughout the day
Selexipag, in one clinical trial, showed improvement in time to clinical worsening and functional capacity as add-on therapy to background therapy includinginhibitors
The current available agents approved by the FDA encompass three classes of therapy: Prostanoids, or prostacyclin therapy; endothelin receptor antagonists; and those that affect the nitric oxide pathway. Prostacyclin is a naturally occurring prostaglandin that's synthesized from arachidonic acid. It is a potent vasodilator with antiplatelet and antiproliferative effects, and increases intracellular cyclic AMP.
Prostacyclin or prostanoids have historically been added as sequential therapy in combination with oral medication in patients with poor response or severe PAH. This approach has largely been based on the complexity of administration of prostanoids. However, the availability of oral prostanoid preparations introduces the possibility that these agents may be added earlier in the treatment course, as evidence mounts that combination therapy significantly reduces PAH mortality.
A pivotal point in the development of treatments for the disease was the approval of the first PAH-specific therapy, intravenous epoprostenol. Although intravenous epoprostenol was first used for the treatment of PAH in 1984, it was not available commercially until 1995. In 1984, Higenbottam[1] and colleagues used intravenous epoprostenol in a young woman [with] severe WHO functional class IV idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension who had been bedridden for more than a year.
Also in 2004, inhaled iloprost became the first prostacyclin analog approved for inhalation. A second agent delivered by this route, the inhaled form of treprostinil, was approved in 2009. The oral form of treprostinil was approved in 2013. In December of 2015, the FDA approved a novel agent, a selective oral IP prostacyclin receptor agonist called selexipag.
Treprostinil is a parenterally administered prostacyclin analog that has been chemically modified. Treprostinil is stable at room temperature. It has an extend hours. Epoprostenol is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring prostaglandin derivative and is chemically identical to endogenous prostacyclin. Traditionally, epoprostenol, as first-line therapy, has beennamely those who have functional class IV symptoms.
To ensure stability, ice packs are needed after constitution for any infusion longer than 80 hours. Home infusion of epoprostenol is administered with a CADD infusion pump. However, due to the pump limitations, it is recommended that the drug solution be prepared and administered for 24 hours—hence, requiring ice packs.
In April of 2010, a formulation of epoprostenol with improved thermal stability becameVeletri (Janssen). This product is stable, without needing cooling packs, for 48 or 72 hours, depending on the concentration. Unlike Flolan, the buffer and osmotic agents that confer room temperature stability characteristics of Veletri are contained within the drug vial. Veletri can therefore be prepared with readily available sterile water for injection, or normal saline, which provides a cost advantage.
Treprostinil, under the trade name Remodulin (United Therapeutics),Subcutaneous formulations can be administered for up to 72 hours at temperatures up to 37 degrees.
Two inhaled formulations of prostacyclin are available in the United States. With inhaled iloprost, available since 2005, treatment requires 6 to 9 administrations, no more than every 2 hours during the day, through an I-neb adaptive aerosol delivery system. The other inhaled prostacyclin, inhaled treprostinil, available since 2009 under the trade name Tyvaso (United Therapeutics), requires four separate sessions spaced equally throughout the day, with inhalation through a TD-100 ultrasonic pulmonary delivery device. Each of these sessions requires 9 inhalations, with dosage titration based on tolerability
Some adverse events, such as flushing, hypertension, chest pain, and tachycardia, may occur more frequently during initiation of treatment or after dose adjustments. Health care providers must manage these adverse events to reduce the risk of treatment discontinuation. Due to the complications associated with the mode of administration, initiation of intravenous prostacyclin therapy may incur the additional cost of hospitalization for the placement of a central line, an infusion initiation system, and close monitoring during initiation of and dose titration.
To minimize the risk of infection,aregivers on the proper aseptic technique during preparation. Patients and caregivers must also be prepared for failures of the central line or the infusion pump or inadequate medication supplies, because even transient interruption of continuously infused prostacyclin therapy may lead to complications requiring urgent hospitalization.
Althoughmay be preferable in some clinical situations because central venous access is therefore not required, infusion site pain can be an important treatment-limiting side effect. Up to 85% of patients receiving subcutaneous infusion of treprostinil may experience serious infusion site pain, leading to treatment discontinuation in up to 23% of these patients.
Only 43% of patients were receiving parenteral prostacyclin at the time of the PAH-related death,[4] and 8% of patients did not receive any PH-specific therapy.[5] Many postulate that some explanations for the underutilization include patients' or clinicians' unwillingness or inability to apply complex therapy or lack of belief in it as more efficacious than other drugs, as well as lack of acceptance, lack of referral to experienced PH centers, and some physician bias.
Oral treprostinil: Traditional modes of administration, with potential challenges and complications, may have contributed to an important unmet need—prostacyclin in an oral formulation. The first oral prostacyclin sustained-release formulation of oral treprostinil was approved in 2013. It is limited, however, by poor bioavailability and efficacy data, based on a modest improvement in exercise capacity.
Selexipag is an oral bioavailable selective IP prostacyclin receptor agonist. It was recently approved by the FDA. The structure of selexipag lacks the characteristic cyclopentane ring of prostacyclin and its analogs. Unlike existing prostacyclin therapies, selexipag and its active metabolite are a selective agonist of the prostacyclin receptor, also called the IP receptor, with very low binding affinity for other prostacyclin receptors.
In addition to these pharmacologic differences from existing prostacyclins, it is important to note that selexipag demonstrated no tendency for tachyphylaxis than traditional infused prostanoids in animal models. Selexipag was studied in the largest long-term, event-driven, phase 3, randomized controlled trial conducted to date in pulmonary arterial hypertension, the GRIPHON study.
The results, first reported at the American College of Cardiology [Scientific Sessions] in 2015, showed a long-term benefit of selexipag therapy on the combined end point of morbidity and mortality. Eighty percent of all enrolled patients were on a baseline PH-specific therapy, either ERA [or] PDE-5 inhibitor or ERA and PDE-5 inhibitor. Patients received treatment with oral selexipag titrated for over 12 weeks. Over the course of the event-driven trial, 7.1% of patients taking placebo and 14% of patients taking selexipag discontinued treatment due to adverse events.[6]
Morbidity and mortality comprising the primary end point included all-cause death, PH necessitating lung transplant, balloon atrial septostomy, or initiation of chronic oxygen therapy or parenteral prostacyclin therapy. After a mean follow-up of 76 weeks and 71 weeks in the placebo with selexipag, there was a 40% reduction in the risk of experiencing an adverse event on the composite primary end point vs the p, resulting in the drug, ultimately, being approved for use.[7]

Ministers will today host Baroness Berridge (UK Minister for Women), Her Excellency Ms Yamina Karitanyi (m), and Dragan Nastic (of Unicef UK) for an event to celebrate th Jersey.
CEDAW is the UN Human Rights treaty which promotes the rights of women and girls. Jersey requested that the treaty be extended to cover the Island as part of its commitment to achieving equality.
In line with COVID-19 limits on gatherings, there will be an audience representing organisations that promotslanders will also be able to attend virtually via Government of Jersey social media channels.
The event will be moderated by Lisa Springate, Head of Legal & Technical at Jersey Finance, and Chair of the Institute of Directors Jersey. It will bring together a panel to discuss the issues facing women and girls in Jersey, and how CEDAW can help to address these issues.
During the event, the Government will also debut a film titled 'Women in Jersey,' in which a group of local women discuss the challenges they have faced, and how CEDAW could impact their lives the Minister with responsibility for promoting diversity, equality and social inclusion, I'm really proud to be speaking at the event alongside some amazing womenaid: "CEDAW joins us to an international convention and therefore international standards.
"Tglobal one. Jersey's international development programme places women at the centre of its work as we act as a good Global Citizen.
 It is indeed a day to celebrate that the convention - after 42 years - has at last been extended to Jersey."
UK Minister for Women, Baroness Berridge swomen living in Jersey.
"The UK Government believes in securin UK and all around the world. We will use the G7 and the Gender Equality Advisory Council to help us achieve our ambitions."

Our room was very smart with a street and castle...
"Nice location, breakfast, tea"
kept clean. You will never be stuck for something to eat or drink - tea and coffee are available all day and there is an honesty bar in the lobby, even complimentary port in the room!
We would not hesitate to go back again. If you are looking for a relaxing stay in a memorable location and don't mind a little bit of walking then you won't find any better than this!
Stop shopping, stay here!
This is so much fun. You're staying inside the castle walls, in a historic and restored building. Views on the south side look out to the river and over the patio - complete with royal peacocks!
Breakfast was varied (meats, cheeses, salmon, breads, cereal, bacon, scrambled eggs, etc.) and 14E per person. Take it to the patio and watch the peacocks while you eat!
The only downside - very limited elevator access, so pack light!
the most beautiful hotel in Europe...............
Ask Urs and Theresi...
1 Thank Urs and Theresi...
This hotel has been built in the old kitchen area of Lisbon's castle, and has been delightfully integrated into its surroundings, with tasteful furnishings inside and peaceful outdoor seating areas - a peace occasionally interrupted by the call of the peacocks that nest nearby!
The breakfast was buffet-style, with hot and cold choices; there was a tea-making table in the dining/sitting room, and a lovely extra welcoming touch in the bedroom was a carafe of vinho do porto!A service we didn't use, but which was available, was a bar with an 'honesty' payment-system!


Hailing from Quebec, Canada, occult metal/ punk act Doom’s Day has a sound that mutates the old school evilness of Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate, and The Misfits with a modern rebellious spirit. The riffing is lean and mean, you’ll hear a copious amount of organ accompaniment for funeral effect, and the vocals of DooM are more in a lower range befitting his namesake. There’s something about the dark grooves within "Ghost of Fate" and the title track that will bring a sly smirk to your face- very throwback and old at heart.
More of an EP length with 8 tracks flying by your headspace in a swift 24 minutes and change, "The Unholy" may not win awards in the originality sweepstakes- but Doom’s Day adore the late 70’s to early 80’s scene when punk, doom, and evil metal scared the world.

The IAM Annual Report Card is also a handy resource for self-examination by information security leaders and their organizations.
Digital Transformation: B+
- Digital transformation requires a range of tools, new processes and infrastructure investments, and the ability to manage customer, employee and partner identity data drives the effectiveness of everything involved.
- Organizations need a way to collect, secure, and use identity data to enable access to digital resources and to fuel engagement across multiple digital channels, apps and devices.
- IAM solutions purpose-built for the demands of digital business can help companies remain competitively nimble in the digital world.
Real Time Adaptability: B
Good but not good enough. Organizations are not effectively enabling and managing real time capabilities of IAM platforms to help with effective controls around ever-changing identity management requirements.
- Corporations and businesses will be forced to make their Identity and Access Management (IAM) Systems scalable in real time, given the extremely rapid advances made within their IT systems. The management team has to keep up with all of this.
- If businesses fail to react in real time, it could become ripe for a major security breach to occur. Add to this complexity the drastic changes which are being brought on by the trend of BYOD. In other words, quick adaptability will be key in order to maintain pace with innovation.
“Real-time adaptability with the enablement of identity analytics is crucial to increasing an organization’s security posture and supporting risk reduction” says Atif Ghauri, VP at Herjavec Group.
- Understanding the relationships between identity, devices, and connected things can enable a more effective, context based risk management strategy at every stage of the identity lifecycle. Managing these relationships throughout the identity lifecycle will allow organizations to offer the better fraud protection for users and privileged accounts
“Identity relationship management is imperative in order to understand contextual data as people, devices and “things” are assigned identities,” says Melissa Zicopula, VP at Herjavec Group.
“This rich contextual data allows organizations to make appropriate and effective decisions to support overall risk reduction,” adds Zicopula.
- Effective user authentication mechanism(s) can enable organizations to drive a secure method of access critical information. Leveraging a multi-step authentication (multi-factor authentication) process will provide advanced authentication services not only leveraging basic credentials but additional contextual information to validate user authentication.
“Cloud adoption is accelerating and using single source credentials is being embraced by the user community” notes Herjavec Group’s Ghauri. “Compromised authentications have led to the majority of data breaches, and multi-factor authentication is a must.”
Identity Analytics & Artificial Intelligence: C
Still new and there’s a lack of understanding. Identity Analytics & AI is an emerging area with segregated market segments, multiple vendors and varying approaches in resolving anomalies. These programs are run typically run as silos with limited integration to IAM processes and platforms. Organizations really need a trusted advisor to help them understand how to maximize AI.
- Often with data breaches it’s not the management of the identity that causes the breach, but the transfer of credentials to some unknown party. While least privilege access control does afford some protection here; however, there are still shortfalls. Identity management and access control have always been two sides of a coin, but in the future of Identity Analytics with AI as a backbone will be the glue to bind them together to much greater effect.
- Identity Analytics with AI offers the potential for intelligent, real-time security to implement fine-grained access control for a user or a privileged account
- Adding behavioral factors, real-time analytics and real-time risk analysis will

Some places are so crappy that they aren't worth visiting worst places you can possibly visit!
3. Roswell, NM. It was a bucket list destination for me, but the town was such a disappointment. The Alien museum felt lackluster and the whole area gave me sad burnt-out vibes. Bottomless Lakes State Park just outside of town was beautiful, though.
4. East St. Louis, Illinois. I worked on a project there for over a year and most of the town is a post-apocalyptic landscape. Abandoned factories and houses, packs of wild dogs, and extreme poverty. We found a bloody clever in our porta potty one day. Witnessed numerous violent interactions with prostitutes, pimps, and John’s. The soils around our worksite were contaminated with lead, gas, benzene, and just about any noxious chemical, you can think of.
The worst was the smells. On top of the usual garbage/burning garbage smell it alternated between a confection bakery and a dog food factory. So depending on the direction of the wind it was either a sickly sweet smell or a smell we affectionately called “horse bacon”.
Despite the impression TV gives you that they are in the middle of a beautiful unspoilt desert, they are actually in the worst part of Cairo. Dirty, full of litter and polluted to buggery.
6. Definitely the fast-food capital of Australia ....Dub Vegas or more commonly known as Dubbo. I know the locals will take umbrage at this but essentially it is a low joint with not a lot going for it apart from a great Zoo called the Western Plains Zoo. The crime is high and brain cells are low. It is a dusty, hot shit hole full of young red necks in hotted up utes with big driving lights and a lot of chubby girls in pink shirts and denim jeans. It has more McDonald outlets per capita than any other place in Australia. The best part of Dubbo is the Newell Highway going out of it.
7. Tashkent - Uzbekistan about 30 years ago. Was on a stopover flight from London to Delhi. There was literally piss and sh*t all over the floor in the toilets of international airport, and the whole area Was horrble, filthy, stank. Flew via Tashkent (unwillingly) 20 years later and was pleased to find everything was modern, clean and nice.
8. Gary, Indiana. Apologies to those who live there, but it’s kinda like the armpit of America. It reeks of a town that was once a cool place to be but has just been left to the wayside.
Went in late March, but was still very cold. Half the homes there are warmed by coal fires inside their gers (yurts). Every morning you could literally taste the pollution. Traffic was terrible, took an hour to go a mile during rush hour. Every car is at least 10 to 15 years old, and is imported from Japan, but they drive on the right side so the steering wheels are wrongly placed.
10. Fresno California was pretty shitty when I was there in the early 2000s. I'd swear half the businesses in what I think was the downtown area were bail bonds places. Coffee shop, bail bonds, yarn store, bail bonds, record shop, bail bonds.
11. Qatar. S*itty slave state with no culture of their own.
13. The Tenderloin in San Francisco. I've visited and grown up in some extremely sh*tty places but that area was the only place where alked as fast as I could to get out. People lying down in the middle of the street with needles sticking out of their arms, eating garbage, etc. It was another planess


Many things make an expedition or a UK Programme successful, but it is the Expedition Leader or Trainer that gives it a particular style and atmosphere as well as its direction and purpose. Whilst WE provides support at every stage, the leader's involvement from the initial stages is paramount. On overseas expeditions the leader becomes involved with the team at the earliest stage, running their UK1 and UK2 training programmes and is involved with itinerary planning.
Our back-up and training are second to none and are in place to ensure that the whole team has 24-hour support while they are on programme or on overseas expeditions.

With Hamilton it is especially important not to arbitrate. With his prior drug history and tendency to injure himself, that could have led to a lot of hurt feelings. On top of that, he is an MVP and hit .359 last year, so you’ll probably lose anyway.

Electronic Newsletter. </s> The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 18.0663 Thursday, 4 OctoOct 2007 15:29:14 -0400 Subject: Cardenio and Double Falsehood For those seriously interested in this question, I recommend G. H.257-83 (U.Mo.Press 1989), which summarizes all the relevant scholarship to that point. In my view, if anyone cares, the most persuasive case is that (a) Theobald actually had one or more manuscripts of a Jacobean play, which he revised; (b) the original play dramatized the Cardenio tale in Don Quixote, and therefore was likely to be the play registered by Moseley as by Fletcher and Shakespeare, and which was contemporaneously referred to as having been performed by the King's Men; (c) Fletcher had a large part of the authorship of the play; (d) another poet also had a hand in the play. The internal evidence that Shakespeare was the other poet is insufficient at least in the absence of rigorous stylistic analysis using modern technological tools, which would be complicated by Theobald's revisions. As it is, the Fletcherian portions are easily discerned but the other poet's share cannot be ascribed to Shakespeare (it shows no substantial sign of WS's late style). On the other hand, Shakespeare cannot be ruled out as one of the authors of the original play since Theobald revised the play, and would probably have heavily altered the kind of convoluted language WS used in his late works, exemplified by HenVIII and TNK, to make it palatable to an 18th Century audience. Ward Elliott and Robert J. Valenza's stylometric tests reject the play as Shakespearean (SHAKSPER Digest SHK 15.0915 [22 April 2004]). The sole external evidence for the conclusion that the other poet was Shakespeare is Moseley's attribution, which is questionable in view of his notorious unreliability in such matters. Therefore, at present, the verdict as to Shakespeare's partial authorship of Cardenio is "not proven." As for Chas. Hamilton's contention that The Second Madien's Tragedy is the lost Cardenio, that is ludicrous for the reasons I previously noted. </s> Clover Valley Home 4 Tier Wall UnitReviewing: Clover Valley 4 Tier Wall Unit | Rating:
I purchased one of theses units and ended up going back to buy a second one. I got rid of a Bakers Rack in my kitchen and set this up instead. It gives me more storage space, doesn't take up a lot of room and is easy to assemble. There are no tools required, just stacking the shelves and screwing the poles together one level at a time. It's a great product for the price and I'm thinking about buying a few more for storage space in my small house. It only took about ten to fifteen minutes to put together. Very simple to understand instructions. This would be a great product for the college student. The shelving unit comes with a wall mounting kit to easily mount to a wall to create even more space.They look like you could probably stack them if you bought two sets. The wall mount would be advisable if stacking two units together though. </s> ? </s> Bulldog Original Moisturiser (100ml)

Word on the street is that we have lapsed forward about nine months, just in time for the birth of Crosby & Jasmine’s second baby and that the premier episode almost feels like the “start of a new chapter” for the family.
There was a lot more going on last season, which we can quickly cover here, but Jen…
1) On a scale of Jabbar to Crosby, how excited were you when Parenthood got picked up for a full season?
3) Do we have our first death in the family this year? (Camille says hi!)
Jen: Is there much of a difference between Jabbar and Crosby on that scale? I was at a “Crosby Opening the Luncheonette” level. Parenthood has always been reviewed well by the critics, andit doesn’t seem to have the audience numbers to back it up. You summed it up pretty well there, Justin. It’s a great show all around and every season Bravermans.
I heard that Hank will be back, but I don’t think it’s going to work out with him and Sarah. I think it’s time we see Sarah move out of her parents’ house and get on with her life. Drew is in college and Amber lives on her own. It’s time for her to do the same! I’d like to see her finally have a real relationship on this show for once. She’s like a wandering 20 – something year old in a 40 – something year old’s body.
What are some of you favorite Parenthood memories? How do you think they do with covering the “big” stuff (breast cancer, teenage pregnancy and Asperger’s syndrome?)
Justin: I wonder if Hank will pull a Brenda Walsh and move back to Cali from Minnesota? Time will tell. I agree she could use a season focused on her career and getting a place of her own for sure. Every year she gets sucked into some sort of drama with a man. She definitely seems lost.
I am kind of surprised they never brought Minka Kelly back to cause some issues with Crosby and Jasmine. I like the full family get together scenes, those are some of my favorite memories overall of the show. The little league episode was great too. Tons of good stuff, but it is hard to pick out moments because the best ones are spread throughout overarching stories. You?
They do an awesome job covering the real stuff because they give it room to breathe and nail all aspects of battling these issues in the setting of a large family, with so many opinions and reactions woven throughout.
I am guessing we get quite a dose of Amber & Ryan to open the season…there was obviously a lot of material to mine there. Do you think Christina’s cancer will return?
Jen: I don’t think it would be good for the storyline if Hank came back, Sarah’s been there and I don’t


It's here. The night every thespian has been waiting for. The Oliviers have finally arrived, after what can only be described as a mammoth year for theatre.
The Royal Albert Hall will fill wa night of legendary performances, people and presentations of awards. Catherine Tate will be taking on the mighty job of hosting the evening alone.
The evening will be bursting at the seems with Hamilton, Everybody's Talking About Jamie and Follies showing us what they have to offer. It is bound to make me want to empty my bank account and spent my days theatre hopping in the West End.
This year, Hamilton has been the talk of the theatre and received a record breaking amount of Olivier nominations. The musical has taken the theatre industry by storm this year, winning Tonys, Grammys and even a Pulitzer. Now it can add a record breaking 13 Olivier nominations to it's ever growing list of achievements. It's managed to beat Hairspray and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for the record, both with 11 nominations.
Other high flyers this year are Follies with 10 nominations and The Ferryman with 8. Amongst all the nominations there are some massive names that will be floating around the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow night. Imelda Staunton, Andrew Garfield, Lesley Joseph and Bryan Cranston to name a few.
I'll leave all the nominations below so you can pick your favourite. You can watch the awards on ITV on Sunday 8 April from 10:20pm but I will be doing live updates throughout the night on social media.
