A man-of-the-match performance from James Bridges enabled Great Melton to beat Swardeston by the narrowest of margins – 1 wicket – to lift the NCA U15s Andy Seeley Trophy for the first time on Monday at Melton Park.  Having retired after scoring a quick-fire 32 to get Melton’s innings off to a brisk start, Bridges returned with 13 balls remaining to join last man Ollie Leinster at the wicket with Melton still needing 8 runs to chase down Swardeston’s 114-3.  Managing to keep the strike Bridges then edged Melton closer to their target and a wide off the second ball of the final over meant Melton could celebrate winning a trophy donated by their late President back in 1976.
Bridges efforts aside, the fact that victory came against local rivals Swardeston, a side containing 7 County players, was testament to a great team effort from Melton who bowled and fielded superbly to restrict Swardeston to 114.  The only slight blemish was a missed chance offered by Ezra Khan who went on to score an unbeaten 31.  Tom Bailey also retired with 32 and Eliot Fox scored 24 but all Melton’s bowlers performed well with Ben Johnson the pick.  He conceded just 10 runs from his 3 overs and was well supported particularly by Bridges (3-0-13-0), skipper Josh Wright (3-0-17-1) and Lohit Kannan (2-0-11-1).
Bridges and Kannan then got Melton off to a brisk start before Kannan, having played two superb shots for four, was run out for 12.  Bridges then retired but Saxon Earley (25) and Sam Johnson (26) batted well to put Melton well ahead of the run rate.  Their dismissals saw the scoring rate slow, however, and the wickets of Ben Johnson (2) and Taha Raja (4) set up a tense finish.  Wicket-keeper Ollie Leinster kept his nerve, though, his 4 runs being vital in helping Bridges see Melton over the line.  Toby Duncan with 1-18 from his 3 overs was Swardeston’s best bowler but there were wickets for Harry De Coteau-Spring (1-23), Fox (1-26), Ed Taylor (1-23) and Charlie Barber (1-11).
After two postponements because of rain it was a case of ‘third time lucky’ for the final but it was a fitting finale, especially as Pam Seeley was present to present the trophy to Melton captain Josh Wright.  Alliance Chairman Peter Thomas congratulated both teams and Man-of-the-Match adjudicator, Zena Wilson, presented Bridges with his medallion.

The U13s have started the season with two wins against Sprowston and Dereham in the Alan Bridgewater competition but suffered a heavy defeat at home to Horsford in the first round of the ECB U13 Knock-Out Competition.

Against Sprowston, Melton batted first and Lohit Kannan (32) and Nat Buxton (14) got the innings off to an excellent start.  The innings stalled a little in the middle, once the openers had been dismissed, but some effective late hitting by Ben Fletcher (15) and Ben Johnson (12 not out) enabled Melton to total 190-3 from their 16 overs.  C.Moore was Sprowston’s best bowler with 2-16.  Three early wickets for Henry Bugg then put a big dent in Sprowston’s reply and, although Joe Dix took the game to Melton with some powerful hitting in his unbeaten 30, once he retired, wickets fell regularly with Ethan Rushton (2-0) making short work of the tail.  Bugg bowled particularly well taking 4-13 with Mohit Badimela (1-6) the other wicket-taker as Sprowston were dismissed for 62 in the 14th over.

Horsford proved a different proposition with a side containing several County players, just too powerful on the day.  A lovely innings of 33 not out from opener S.Hyatt and some powerful leg-side hitting by Jayden Borges in a quick 32 helped Horsford to a total of 125-3.  Ben Fletcher (2-8) was the pick of the Melton bowlers but, in truth, the bowling was a bit erratic with too many short balls or full tosses and, with fielders often too close to the bat, it was difficult to stem the tide of runs.  In reply, Melton’s innings never really got going with only Cameron Graveling (20) reaching double figures as Melton were dismissed for 72 to lose by 53 runs, Ethan Metcalf (3-7) and Borges (3-11) taking 3 wickets each.

Against Dereham an unbroken half-century partnership between Lohit Kannan (32) and Nat Buxton (22) gave Melton’s innings a really sound foundation in murky and drizzly conditions.  Both retired at the end of the 10th over and, although Melton lost Ethan Rushton (9) and Cameron Graveling (7), some good shots by Ben Johnson (10 not out) enabled the score to reach 116-2.  Dereham put up a good fight but, with conditions worsening and the slippery ball difficult to control, Melton’s bowlers did well to restrict their opponents to 57-5, giving them a 59-run win.  The wickets were shared between Ben Fletcher (1-6), Lohit (1-2), Cameron (1-2) and Ethan (1-4) with Cameron also holding a catch and affecting a direct-hit run out.

Known as the Venice of the East, the city of Udaipur, with its elaborate palaces, serene lakes, exotic temples and resplendent gardens, has a romance of setting unmatched in Rajasthan and arguably in all of India

The famous Lake Palace, located bang in the middle of Lake Pichola is easily one of the most beautiful sights of Udaipur. The city is also home to Jaisamand Lake, the largest artificial lake in Asia. The beautiful City Palace and Sajjan Garh (Monsoon Palace) add to the architectural beauty and grandeur of the city. This city by the lake is also renowned for is miniature paintings.

After basking in the Rajput-era opulence along Lake Pichola, it’s certainly not difficult to understand why Udaipur is considered one of the most romantic spots in all of Asia.

Be A Student of Philosophy

A good mind, by definition, is one that processes well. Exploration of philosophy feeds curiosity, enhances problem solving skills, and makes us more confident about thinking for ourselves.

The study of philosophy forces the mind to bend, stretch, and never be done growing. The act of debating philosophy creates opportunity for reflective conversations that elevate emotional intelligence and leadership capacity. Check out the research, its abundantly clear that the study of philosophy IS the vehicle to a good mind!

Based upon this knowing, hundreds of movies depict great philosophers, include philosophical topics, and portray philosophical thought experiments. MUBI curator Matt Whitlock has a must see list: Essential Movies for a Student of Philosophy.

According to Whitlock "Some thinkers sound like they are brilliantly laying out real solutions to real problems, some seem like they may be saying something insightful but are just not articulate enough, some are just too esoteric to tell and some are just simply on drugs."

Take it in, let your mind process information of all kinds, then allow your own brilliance to decide what you keep and what you toss out. Most importantly, be curious and learn always.

If you struggle with confidence or want to develop powerful leadership skill, we can help. Make an appointment today to start growing your best potential.

Work commutes getting longer and gender differences persist

On average, Swedish men and women have different commuting habits. Despite an increasingly gender-equal society, traditional household patterns are changing very slowly. The regional enlargement in many parts of the country – or geographic extension of labour markets – imply longer commuting times. These are the key conclusions of a new doctoral thesis from the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.

‘The regional enlargement have led to longer commuting times for both women and men, and are not related to faster commuting as commonly assumed,’ says human geographer Ana Gil Solá, who has studied people’s commuting habits over a 10-year period starting in the mid-1990s.

‘My study points to a new trend. This finding is important since commuting time is often considered an economic cost when evaluating infrastructure investments. It is generally assumed that the regional enlargement should contribute to regional growth, yet the longer commutes also imply increased costs and reduced welfare for the individual. This aspect is not receiving much attention,’ says Gil Solá.

The gender differences in commuting distance vary significantly between regions, with the area of Gothenburg having the largest differences and the Malmö region the smallest. Gil Solá also interviewed parents of small children about the desires, priorities and decisions associated with their commuting and how the travel affects family life and the distribution of household work.

‘The interviews show that people’s views of gender roles affect how they make decisions in the household. For example, couples with conservative views tend to prioritise the man’s car use. And when the man drives the only car in the household, the couple may feel that they can’t afford a second car even if the woman’s commuting would be made easier with two cars. Maybe she would even to be able to get a better job. The opposite attitude is practically unheard of. Men’s mobility has no price tag. It is taken for granted and never questioned in these households,’ says Gil Solá.

‘Gender-equal households give equal weight to the needs of women and men. They buy two cars if needed, or find other solutions. I found more variation in problem solving among these households, since it is important to them to not get stuck in traditional solutions.’

Overall, the study shows that people’s commuting is slowly becoming more gender equal. The gender differences in commuting distance, travel speed and car use for commuting purposes decreased somewhat over the studied period. Yet there are significant differences across regions and different types of households.

The thesis was presented 18 October 2013.

Who Can Be A Guarantor

Guarantor Loans

Who Can Be A Guarantor?

Guarantor Loans give you so much more flexibility than many other types of loans. Suppose you have had credit problems in the past, or perhaps you have no credit and need to establish yourself credit wise... Guarantor Loans can do this for you!

Here at Guarantor Loans we believe in lending based on trust so if your family member, friend or work colleague believes in you and that you will repay your loan then so do we! A guarantor is someone who confirms that you will pay your monthly repayments and that in the hopefully unlikely event that you miss a payment, they will step into the breach and make the payment. That obviously absolutely doesn't mean that you don't have to pay your loan, but it gives your application more strength as your guarantor makes a commitment to support it if anything goes a little awry.

Since your good buddy is acting as a guarantor for the loan, there is less risk involved in granting your loan. It also means lower interest rates for you as opposed to the high outrageous interest rates of a payday loan. It also means a more flexible repayment plan, you do not have to repay the loan within 30 days, you can spread the repayments over 12 to 60 months. This allows you to make payments you can afford.

The process is streamlined to be easier for you.

What does it mean for me as a Guarantor?

In the majority of cases, once you have completed our assessment process this will pretty much be the last thing you should hopefully hear from us. If your borrower maintains all their payments then all you will get from us is an annual statement which we are required to send you, otherwise it's as simple as that.

However, in the unfortunate event that a payment might be missed this is when you will become involved as guarantor and we will contact you. In the first place this will be for support in helping us get in contact with the borrower or for support in making a payment; again if this is caught back up again in quick order again you won't hear anything from us. In the rare instance that payments are not brought up to date quickly then unfortunately it may result in further action being taken against the borrower. If this is the case, then we will require you to make the monthly payment in lieu of your borrower or any arrears that are outstanding. Of course we will talk to you wherever we can and make suitable arrangements with you so this can be paid.

If your loan is not brought back up to date in a timely fashion, then unfortunately there may be other steps which could be taken against both you and the borrower which would impact on your credit score and report making it more difficult to obtain credit in the future and also potential legal action if your loan isn't kept up to date. Clearly we all want to avoid that so we would always urge you to talk to us and keep us informed wherever there might be a problem.

Guarantor Loans

Your Ideal Guarantor

A Guarantor is a good friend, a family member or a work colleague who knows you are a good person and knows you can repay the loan, your Buddy guarantees the loan for you.

Anna Rubinsky

Oct. 11, 1924 – June 25, 2015

Anna passed away surrounded by love, in her home on Cadboro Bay, on the evening of June 25, 2015.

Adventurous, independent, curious and determined, Anna was known by her copper walker parked at theatres and events worldwide.

Anna loved language in all its forms: stories, theatre, poetry, books and good intellectual discussion and debate. She enjoyed travelling the world and welcoming global travellers  into her home.

From a very young age, Anna loved to swim. Up until very recently, you could find her, walker parked at the water’s edge, swimming ever so happily in Durrance Lake.

Anna, daughter of Helena Goldberg and Teodor Dawidowicz, was born in Krakow, Poland, October 11, 1924. The war years saw her in Russia, Persia, and then Lebanon. After graduating from the American University of Beirut, she married Andre Rubinsky and came to Canada in 1955 after the birth of their two children. She was so proud of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and loved to host family events whenever she could.

Predeceased by her son, Yuri (1996) and husband Andre (2001), Anna will be missed by her daughter, Kathryn, son-in-law, John Akehurst, grandsons Jamie and Christopher, Jamie’s wife, Robyn, and great grandchildren, Annie and Fraser. We all loved her. Also missing her will be loving cousins, Adam, Litka, Marisha and Kasia, daughter-in-law, Holley (Yuri), sister-in-law, Tanya, brother-in-law, Eli(Marisha), and extended family and friends here, and around the world, who enjoyed her individuality.

Her family is forever grateful to Loreta Maningo for the dedicated and loving care she gave Anna during her final years. Gratitude also to Helena and Stan for many years of caring for her and her home, and to Cait for being her swimming/outing friend.

Her wish to remain at home could not have been accomplished without the extraordinary service of Home and Community Care, the Palliative Response Team and the Red Cross. A heartfelt thank you from all of us.

A celebration of life will be held in Victoria in early August. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Victoria Hospice, Theatre Inconnu, or the Malala Fund.

Please tell a story, read a poem or enjoy a swim in her memory.

This weekend, star forward Jeremy Cameron will become the first player to reach 150 games for the GIANTS from debut at the club.

This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the support of people like Andrew McNeil from Yarmouth Group who are in their 10th season as a player partner.

Speaking ahead of the milestone, McNeil says he’s thrilled have played a small part in supporting Cameron and the club over the past decade.

“The opportunity to be part of a new AFL club from day one was a rare opportunity and something we wanted to be apart of,” McNeil said.

“With Jeremy and I both originally being from Western Victoria, it made sense to align with him and I can’t speak highly enough of the man he’s grown into.

“At Yarmouth, we’ve loved being part of the GIANTS since day one and seeing the culture and family environment develop the way it has is why we keep coming back year after year.

“The GIANTS are an inclusive club and the way they’ve embraced female sport and the multicultural communities of Western Sydney is first class.”

The GIANTS have a range of options that will allow members and supporters to take their passion to the next level and share in the journey with a player through a GIANTS AFL or AFLW player partnership package.

These packages are perfect for small business owners, families and passionate supporters seeking to increase their involvement with the club. Player partners will enjoy a portfolio of benefits and the opportunity to engage with the inner sanctum of the GIANTS.

Frantastique Reviews: Gina K. (Munich, GERMANY)

Gina K. Story

The stories of others often inspire us in our own lives.
Here are some real stories from real people that inspire us — be sure to tell us your own!

I went to an Ayurvedic resort and my neighbour was a French person. I was kind of about shy talking to her, as my french is only A2 level. By coincidence we found out that we are reading the same book: I in English and she in French. That broke the ice. Now we will form a tandem by email. She will write in English and I will write back in French. I loved this experience as we laughed a lot and the likeliness to read the same book in two different languages is not very high!

Gyroville Set to Expand in Kansas

Mediterranean-inspired, build-your-own plate concept set to open in Manhattan, Kansas.

May 07, 2019 // // FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Two years after entering the Sunflower State with its first restaurant in Topeka, Gyroville - a Mediterranean-inspired, build-your-own plate franchise - is set to open in Manhattan this summer.

Opening this summer, the restaurant will be located at 712 N Manhattan Avenue and will be owned and operated by local Vish Nadig.

“We are thrilled to continue serving the communities of Kansas,” said Gyroville founder Lambros Kokkinelis. “Mediterranean food is among the world’s healthiest diets, and we truly believe that the healthy, fast-casual concept can fit into anyone’s lifestyle.”

Pronounced just like the word looks, rather than the Greek pronunciation, which is more like yee-roh, Gyroville provides an interactive, build-your-own concept that allows guests to follow their choice of protein from the grill or vertical spit and served in a pita, over rice, as a wrap or salad.

Gyroville has a variety of proteins to choose from, including gyro meat, chicken or falafel as a vegetarian option. Next comes the modern twist on traditional Greek restaurant cuisine. Customers can choose between six sauces made fresh daily. These include original tzatziki, hummus, spicy feta or one of our variations of our original tzatziki; Medichurri Salsa or jalapeño spinach.

Freshly chopped romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, Jalapeno peppers, and onions are among the many condiments which can also be added to each meal.

“We're disrupting the fast casual scene and proving that the build-your-own style concept can be fresh, unique and flavorful,” said Kokkinelis. “Our franchise has really taken off over the past year and the future is incredibly bright. We look forward to feeding the growing consumer demand for the healthful and wide-ranging cuisines of the Mediterranean region.”

The local expansion news comes on the heels of Gyroville’s recent announcement to expand its national footprint with as many as 30 new restaurants over the next five years. In addition to continued growth throughout Florida, targeted growth markets include Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas.

Today, there are 10 locations open in the United States and one in Ecuador.

Inflatable Crossing Guard

A combination party noisemaker and inflatable advertising man
  [vote for,

While on the way to work today, I saw 2 crossing guards (elderly volunteers, bless'em) walk out into traffic waving flags to bring traffic to a stop so children could cross a busy road on the way to school. This is very effective as a human shape standing in front of cars is much more likely to stop traffic than just flashing lights etc.

Unfortunately, the human cost having of thousands of people, whether paid or volunteers, coming out of their homes twice a day in all kinds of weather to perform this service is obviously significant. They are also risking their necks by being the first ones to step into traffic. I propose designing a pneumatically powered device which, when a button is pressed, unrolls out into the street like a party noisemaker and pops up one of those ripstop nylon inflatable advertising human figures which wave about wildly. After the requisite amount of time passes, it deflates and rolls back up again into its box waiting for the next batch of pedestrians.

This wouldn't negate the requirement for human judgement and the decision-making skills needed to handle very young children or extremely busy highways, but would form the 2nd tier of pedestrian crossings which aren't able to get human crossing guards but should have more than just a flashing light system. The figures could be illuminated internally and, if you wish, could even make the party noisemaker noise while in operation. (Corporate sponsorship opportunities abound)

Time Mirror

A mirror light-years away could show us the past
  [vote for,

First, all we need to do is make some sort of wormhole, space warp transporter that can take us across the universe in an instant.

Then we send a fairly large sum of mercury or other reflective luquid (maybe a molten metal that will be reflective once it solidifies)(glass would not be used for the risk of shattering on the trip there) through said portal thing into an empty space in space 65 million light years away where we could see Earth pretty well.

The liquid would quickly spread out into a large reflective mirror- like plane that we could train our best telescopes on (predictibly they would be exponentially better than current ones at this point in technology). After a little calculated searching we would zoom in on the light that 65 million years ago bounced off Earth and see dinosaurs!

Other "time mirrors" could be placed at a few light-hours to a few light-days away for finding unfilmed instant- replays and cathing criminals in the acts of crimes they committed recently

8th of 7, Jun 13 2008

       we would still have to tell them where to look and our instructions could not travel any faster than light, so they would not know until the opportunity had passed. Unless, we sent the signals through the portal which would require opening it many times (as we would also have to do when any breakthroughs in telescope technology were made)
jellyfisherman, Jun 13 2008

       However, it will take the light 65 Million years to get back to your planet...... an all that time, inverse square law will be eating away at the signal ...

       You'll need to keep your wormhole open, and pass the data back through it.
8th of 7, Jun 13 2008

       I believe that is true. My mirror system won't work for seeing dinosaurs. However, i do believe it is more efficient for the police-type work and other uses of seeing the recent past

Virginia Jail Death Review Board Has Not Yet Undertaken Any Investigations

In late May of 2017, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe signed legislation (SB 1063) introduced by Representative Creigh Deeds aimed at reducing the number of deaths in Virginia jails and prisons. The bill has a two-pronged approach. First, it sets requirements that the State Board of Corrections (a nine-member panel) must have individuals with expertise in areas such as mental health, correctional facility management, and health care. Second, SB 1063 authorizes the Board of Corrections to review inmate deaths at Virginia’s local and regional jails. The law took effect July 1, 2017. Previously, the Commonwealth’s 60 regional and local jails were allowed to simply “police themselves” unless it was patently obvious that a crime had been committed. There was no distinct agency responsible for looking into jail deaths in Virginia.

The review board is tasked with determining which deaths to investigate, based upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the initial incident report. For example, if it is clear that a death was due to natural causes, an investigation would not be necessary. Without an investigator the board feels they are unequipped to carry out their duties. Board vice chairman Bobby Vassar told the Richmond Times-Dispatch: “We need to be in a position that is at least reflecting that we’re looking at the issue. We at least need to be able to say that we’re aware.”

Despite going into effect in July, as of October 20, 2017 (109 days later), the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that the Board of Corrections (now legally responsible for the oversight of investigations into jail deaths in the Commonwealth) has failed to begin even a single investigation under the new law. In 2015, 36 people died in local and regional jail facilities across the Commonwealth. That number rose to 42 people in 2016. Though six weeks remain in 2017, at least 33 inmates have died in custody in Virginia jails, with 16 of those deaths occurring since the new law took effect on July 1, 2017.

Standing in the way is the fact that the Commonwealth has not yet an investigator. Lawmakers pushed for multiple full-time investigator positions, however the final approval and funding was for a single, part-time investigator, which the Department of Corrections has not hired. Former Stafford County Sheriff Charles Jett, a new board member, said of the issue “We’re ready to work (but) we need the information.”

Board member Vernie W. Francis, Jr. echoed Sheriff Jett’s sentiments at the most recent board meeting, telling other members “We ought to at least know where we are on it if nothing else; I think it’s critical that we get somebody on board.” According to Board of Corrections Chairwoman Phyllis Randall, the board will be putting their thoughts on these issues in writing to not only the Department of Corrections, but also the Attorney General’s office, deputy secretary of public safety and homeland security for Virginia, and members of the board.

Questioned about the vacant position and the failure of the board to be able to begin their work, Virginia Department of Corrections spokesperson Lisa Kinney indicated that they have received 165 applications for the part-time investigative position. She did not say whether a second part-time position would be added in order to handle the board’s administrative functions. She did not indicate whether or not Harold Clarke, head of the DOC, had any comment regarding when the board would begin their work.

A smaller group of board members took it upon themselves to set a November 15th meeting, wherein they intend to begin their critical work, regardless of whether or not an investigator has been hired. “At this point, we don’t have a staff person so we’ve got to kind of get it figured out among ourselves,” said Francis.

The personal injury and civil rights attorneys at the Halperin Law Center are committed to ensuring inmates throughout the Commonwealth are afforded all of the rights provided for in the Constitution. We have successfully litigated wrongful death actions on behalf of the families of inmates who died while incarcerated, and have negotiated settlements on behalf of inmates injured while in Virginia jails. If you or a family member have been denied your Constitutional rights, denied medical care, or have otherwise been injured while incarcerated, contact the personal injury and civil rights attorneys at the Halperin Law Center for a no-cost, no-obligation case evaluation.

Statement from HANYS President Bea Grause, RN, JD, on first distribution from CARES Act Provider Relief Fund

HANYS appreciates that desperately needed funding has begun to flow to New York’s hospitals and other healthcare providers. However, we strongly oppose how these funds were allocated. HHS’ methodology did nothing to prioritize support for COVID-19 hot spots like New York, and it leaves behind hospitals that serve higher shares of Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, uninsured and pediatric patient populations.

New York hospitals and health systems are in the thick of a tremendous battle against COVID-19, and they need federal support to continue their fight. HANYS urges HHS to direct additional emergency relief to New York hospitals as quickly as possible.

The Healthcare Association of New York State is the only statewide hospital and continuing care association in New York, representing nonprofit and public hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies and other healthcare organizations.

Hausfeld Maintains Top Tier Ranking for Competition Litigation in Legal 500

Related Lawyers: Anthony Maton, Laurent Geelhand, Anna Morfey, Nicola Boyle, Lianne Craig, Lesley Hannah
Related Practice Areas: Competition Disputes

Litigation boutique, Hausfeld, has maintained its Tier One position in Legal 500’s Competition Litigation ranking for the third year in a row. Described by the publication as ‘one of, if not the, premier claimant firm[s]’, the firm is ranked in the top tier alongside Magic and Silver Circle defendant firms.

Managing Partner Anthony Maton continues to be recognised as a leading individual in the sector. Partners Laurent Geelhand and Anna Morfey are highly commended for their work across the ‘impressive portfolio of automotive clients’. Partner Andrew Bullion, alongside Anthony, is mentioned for representing ‘500 corporate entities seeking compensation under the long-running air cargo cartel litigation’. Partner Nicola Boyle is also acknowledged for acting as co-counsel for numerous entities in the interchange fee litigation. Senior Associate Lesley Hannah was described as having ‘a bright future’.

The firm’s Commercial Litigation practice has also received recognition for the first time in both Banking Litigation: Investment & Retail (Tier 6) and Commercial Litigation (Tier 8). Anthony Maton is described as having the ‘the sharpest eye for a commercial deal’. Partner Lianne Craig is highly regarded and described as being ‘very calm under fire and always has workable solutions to thorny problems’. And Partner John McElroy is praised for his ‘feel for the ebb and flow of litigation and the timing of playing one’s strongest cards’ and his ‘acute legal mind with sound commercial awareness’.

Commenting on the firm’s rankings, Anthony says, “We are delighted to maintain our competition litigation ranking and to be recognised as the go-to claimant firm. We continue to be at the forefront of some of the largest and most complex competition disputes across Europe.

Our commercial litigation practice has grown significantly in the last couple of years. We continue to litigate some of the most high-profile and complex financial services actions to emerge in England and Wales in recent years including one of the largest financial mis-selling claims against a bank in 2017 - Stuart Barrie Wall v Royal Bank of Scotland. We look forward to the growth and continued recognition of the practice in the future.”

Perfect Square

In the early 1990s, Carsten Nicolai (born 1965 in Chemnitz, Germany (then Karl-Marx-Stadt, GDR)) began pursuing an interdisciplinary, science-based approach to art that includes sound, electronics, physics, and mathematics. What has always overlapped in some respects is thus given new treatment in Nicolai’s work in the form of an aesthetically motivated interest in the visualization of hidden principles of order – for example, as they appear in the codes and frequencies of modern technologies and natural phenomena. His research also encompasses chaotic and random structures, faulty or intentionally paradox impulses, system-immanent instabilities, and (not least) procedures and apparatuses for the observation, recording, and imaging of such experiments. In short, Nicolai's art is located at the intersection between form and non-form, at the freezing point where the act of crystallizing is visualized in a model or ideal way.
Seen from this perspective, “Perfect Square” (2004) seems oddly accessible. Coincidentally, its geometric nature also makes it a perfect addition to the Museum Haus Konstruktiv’s collection. The work consists of a plinth of mirrored glass on which square panels of glass are stacked in regular intervals in sequences of up to six panels, the number necessary to create a cube. Their horizontal order follows the scheme of a “perfect squared square,” a self-similar figure whose characterizing feature is that it is constructed out of a subset of squares of different sizes. Nicolai’s method of tiling the squares corresponds to the arrangement with the smallest number of squares known today, which he then made three-dimensional using the least amount of material possible. The arrangement consists of a total of 21 squares and was discovered by the Dutch mathematician A. J. W. Duijvestijn with the help of a computer. Its main feature is that the sum of the minimal length of the squares in each row equals 112, similar to a magic square.* The green-coated glass, which was specially chosen by the artist, creates a light appearance and reminds us of glass fixtures in warehouses, storages facilities, and archives. Seen from above, however, the glass appears opaque, and in its interaction with the multiple reflections, this counters the rational absorption suggested by the mathematical grid and the austere smoothness of the material. The objective and seemingly clear scientific model is thus retranslated into a diffuse, subjective perception.

* Seen from above and with the largest square placed in the upper left, if we group together all the squares whose upper sides are flush in brackets, the notation from top to bottom reads as follows: 1122 = [502+352+272] + [82+192] + [152+172+112] + [62+242] + [292+252+92+22] + [72+182] + [162] + [422] + [42+372] + [332]. For “Perfect Square,” Nicolai increased the smallest factor of 1 to a factor of a little more than 3.

Exploring Manoa Valley

Located on Oahu, Manoa is a residential valley neighborhood. It is approximately 3 miles inland from downtown, close to Waikiki and Ala Moana. While it may not be on the list for tourists, it is a worthwhile spot to check out offering a look into one of Oahu’s older communities.

I learned that in 1825, Manoa was the site of the first sugarcane and coffee plantations in Hawaii. The word “Manoa” is a Hawaiian term translating to “thick, solid or vast” perhaps a reference to the valley itself. The valley receives a high amount of rain, keeping it lush and green so don’t be surprised if you see a rainbow.

The Manoa area is home to the University of Hawaii’s main campus and some of Hawaii’s most historic homes. One such building has been converted into a charming brunch spot called the Waioli Tea Room. Manoa Marketplace is the central shopping area and features a farmer’s market several days a week. It is a great opportunity to mix with residents and support the local flower and produce farmers.

Close by is Manoa Falls, an easy 3 mile round trip hike. The waterfall features a vertical drop of about 150 feet into a small pool. Please note that the water is not safe for drinking. The trail is well worn and travels through an amazing bamboo forest and features some unusual native plants. Another area to stretch your legs is Lyon Arboretum. This 200-acre botanical garden features beautiful trails and views of Manoa Valley. The Arboretum is open to the public on weekdays from 9 – 4 PM and admission is free. I encourage you to make the trip to Manoa Valley and see for yourself why it is one of Oahu’s most charming communities.

Ban on letting agents fees paid by tenants.

The Government’s long awaited consultation paper on banning tenant fees in England was published on 7th April 2017 and comments are invited by 2nd June 2017.The proposals, first raised by the Chancellor in his Autumn Statement if November 2016 outline the controversial measures stopping lettings agents charging fees to tenants. The ban on lettings fees was introduced in Scotland in November 2012.The document shows that the Government intends to legislate that no agent will be permitted to charge tenants any fees, premiums or charges that meet the general definition of facilitating the granting, renewal or continuance of a tenancy.The ban would also include any letting fees charged to tenants by landlords and any other third parties to ensure that letting agents are not paid by tenants through other routes. Tenants should be required to pay their rent and a refundable deposit only.There are some exemptions proposed, such as holding deposits to take the property off the market while reference checks are undertaken, and in-tenancy property management service charges arising because of the action of the tenant such as replacement keys or for deliberate damage.The consultation recognises lettings agents should still be reimbursed for their work but claims in many cases they have already been charging landlords.The document recognises rents may rise if increased costs are passed on to landlords.It states: “We would not expect the full level of tenant fees that are charged at present by letting agents to be passed on to landlords since there is evidence that a number of agents are charging excessive fees and that some agents are double charging landlords and tenants.“Under the ban, all agents will need to be efficient and fair with fees in order to secure landlords’ business and therefore the fees charged should be a fair reflection of the services provided.“Like any other supplier, landlords will need to set a rent that takes into account their costs whilst still being attractive to prospective tenants. Some landlords may absorb some or all of the increased fees charged, however others may choose to reflect the increase in the headline price for the property.”The Government claims the changes mean tenants will be able to compare properties based on rental level rather than other fees.Once introduced, the ban would be enforced primarily by the local Trading Standards office with civil penalties of up to £5,000, industry bans or criminal prosecutions all possible.As if the fee ban wasn’t enough upheaval, the consultation also shows the Government is considering different ways for deposits to be paid to reduce the financial burden on the tenant at the start of a tenancy.One suggestion in the document is for tenants to pay their deposit in instalments over the first few months of the tenancy or using a line of credit where an agreed deposit amount is blocked on a tenant’s credit card.As can be seen the ramifications of a ban are potentially far reaching for landlords, tenants and letting agents. The effects could include a combination of less profit for landlords, higher rents for tenants and possible reduction in staff numbers within letting agencies. For a copy of the Government’s consultation paper please use the link: If you wish to object to the proposals raised within the consultation paper then please use the link: or alternatively contact your local MP setting out your views.For example, Jo Churchill MP

Taking the Digital Leap Saves Community $20+ Million in Preventable Health Care Costs

Hospitalizations dropped by almost 3,000 people over a two-year period in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, thanks to a variety of quality changes and investments in electronic health records (EHR). This tool collects and shares critical health information about individual patients and populations across health care settings.

The nearly 11 percent drop in hospitalizations for common cardiovascular conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure and angina) was reported in the 10th Community Health Checkup by Better Health Greater Cleveland, a regional health improvement collaborative that works with health care systems, health plans and employers to foster quality health care that’s more affordable.

Why does this decline matter? Because it shows that through efficient use of EHR, primary care is getting better in this community and has implications for advancing the quality of patient-centered care across health systems.

The report demonstrates that practices leveraging EHR are finding that they can more effectively measure care and identify opportunities to enhance service as a result: “The changes are helping people change the course of their health, and they’re adding up to measurable impact on the community – in health, care and cost.”

Better Health also notes that EHR makes a huge impact for the better when it comes to health outcomes for patients: “We have documented large differences between our EHR- and paper-based systems in terms of achievement and improvement of our standards in diabetes and high blood pressure.”

Indeed, a 2011 paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine confirms this trend, finding a 35 percent higher achievement for composite care standards for diabetes patients treated by practices using EHR compared with practices using paper-based systems. EHR sites were also associated with a 10 percent greater improvement of care and a 4 percent improvement among outcomes.

“EHRs have been well shown to improve patient safety, especially through e-prescriptions and clinical decision support,” says Dr. Tim Kowalski, President, Health Action Council Quality Forum. “They also help to improve care coordination via medication reconciliation, enhancing the exchange of health information and through the use of patient registries. And, they help to reduce redundancy via awareness of previous evaluations and various test results.”

Dr. Kowalski adds: “As health care purchasers we are demanding that health care providers demonstrate quality improvement, customer experience improvement and cost-effective care when we consider which provider groups to feature to our employees and their dependents. As we move from a world of fee for service payment to population health outcome-based compensation, this will become increasingly important.”

Have you seen examples – beyond those demonstrated by Better Health – where care is improved and costs are reduced when EHR are incorporated in the system? Tell us more.

W’menswear – Heritage Workwear by and for Women

The main thrust of heritage wear pulls from military, sports, and workwear from the first half of the twentieth century. But like many arenas from that era, the options for women were slim to non-existent. A valid criticism of this style is that there’s very little for the female consumer. Enter Lauren Yates and her new brand W’menswear, who plans on making heritage style clothing specifically for women.

You may know Lauren from her blog Ponytail Journal (read our profile here), and if you do you know she’s all about heritage wear. So it seemed only natural when she told us she was launching her own brand, and we’re happy to be the first media outlet to introduce her brand to the world.

Lauren Yates aka Ponytail Journal wearing Wmenswear

Womenswear is a huge market with a wide variety of brands, but strangely no one really tapped into heritage wear, which is what motivated Lauren. She explains:

“Meeting so many great people along my way and watching many-a-startup cut their paths in the world, made me curious to see how I could bring something to the table that perhaps didn’t quite exist yet.”

But there’s much more than just filling a gap. Her fundamental issue with womenswear is that it’s much more trend oriented than menswear, and thus more superficial. In her words, “I aspire to change how women consume garments, mindfully rather than following trend, and I wish for clothes to be made with that same focus on construction and longevity.”

Lauren Ponytail Journal Wmenswear

Fishing is one of Lauren’s favorite hobbies–and one that got her into heritage wear to begin with–the ocean plays a central role in her brand’s creative universe:

“It’s safe to say that the ocean is actually a big driver of the brand (not just this first collection) and much of my time and research evolves around it, like for example the WAVES division of the US Navy during WW2 that ties in with my garment design and storyboarding.”

The ocean is a super important part of my own identity, and to be honest, my creative work is very much intuitive expression. I fish, I surf, and I feel a deep connection with water. It has an incredibly relatable meditative quality that is far more powerful than we realize. It’s also in need of care, and I think if I can bring at least one person’s attention to it then I’m on the right path.”

The Collection

The collection consists of 8 different styles, with each one offered in three different colorways: Sail Dress, Chore Coat, Fisherlady’s pant, Fishing Vest, Gutting Smock, Raincoat, Vareuse, and Braces.

In addition, W’menswear will feature an accessory line made in collaboration with Australian object designers Lyn and Tony. The line will comprise 6 different styles made from deconstructed denim and solid brass.

The two central fabrics of the collaboration are denim and canvas and all aspects of production will be overseen by Ben Viapiana and his team in Thailand, which guarantees top notch quality in both fabric sourcing and product construction.

Producing in Thailand

Lauren aka Ponytail Journal Wearing Wmenswear

Lauren is based in Thailand, so it’s a huge boon to produce everything locally but Made in Thailand does not necessarily have the same cachet in the heritage market as Made in USA or Made in Japan. As we’ve mentioned in the past, the discussion of manufacturing location shouldn’t revolve around where the clothes are made but by whom and using what.

W’menswear’s production is handled by Ben Viapiana, founder of the eponymous custom denim company based in Thailand. That guarantees that production standards will be high and only top notch fabric will be used. In order to give back to Thailand through W’menswear, Ben will spearhead an apprenticeship program to teach his craft to young Thais so they can eventually start their own legacy.

Napping in Montauk in Wmenswear

It may sound counter-intuitive to some readers, but not all businesses aim for immediate growth, at least not as intensively as we conceive it in Western economies. I’ve met several superior quality brands who have been around for up to 20 years, yet no one knew who they were. This is no accident.

Getting big comes with a whole set of infrastructural, creative, and inventory issues, but the most important one W’menswear hopes to avoid is wasting natural resources.

When producing clothes at a fast pace in bulk you can’t really control how precisely you cut the fabric and thus you waste a lot of it. This is something Lauren really will be able to completely avoid big keeping things small and lean. She explains:

“Friends of mine who run Revision Society (a project-based label who strive to address inefficiencies in industry that result in gross ecological consequence) opened my eyes to the sheer amount of waste that is a byproduct of mass production in fashion. We’re talking about tonnes of unused rolls of fabric going into landfill. Picture something like untouched Harris Tweed going to waste and that’s what’s really happening.

“I suppose with huge labels who produce en masse, it’s cheaper to throw away unused material rather than pay for the man power to deal with it, but there is something seriously wrong with this model. We should use what we need, or pass on excess to someone who can.”

W’menswear will be available this upcoming Fall at Nigel Cabourn’s Army Gym in London, Nigel Cabourn’s Woman Store in Tokyo, and Onion Store, the biggest Thai online store for American made workwear.

In the meantime, you can learn more about the brand and view their lookbook via their website.

The Bridge

by HelluvaGirl

When he holds me, I can feel his whole body slightly shiver. When he touches me with his hand, I get a strange feeling: as if some kind of energy is streaming into me. As if that point of physical contact is charged with some… presence. Never tried Reiki but imagine it’s something like that?

And… I know saying this makes me crazy but some of those moments when he holds me in his firm embrace, I second-guess that he is perhaps not who I see; that he is a magic bridge connecting me to another person with whom I’ve imagined everything would be exactly like this.

And when I ask:

Why do I feel so shy looking into your eyes?

He responds, affirming my insane suspicion:

I just see… and you just noticed.
