Going the Distance

Arthur J. Gallagher's Quebec president Gilles Gervais provides insight on how to succeed in the global marketplace.

What does it take to succeed as a broker serving large-scale clients on an international level? Good communication skills, resourcefulness, and an analytical mind, judging from an interview with Gilles Gervais, president of Arthur J. Gallagher Group Quebec ULC, where international customers generate 50 per cent of the office’s business.

An insurance professional for 32 years, Gervais describes a career built on understanding customers’ businesses inside, out, and upside down. Success also calls for an excellent grasp of international insurance regulations, and the ability to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures. Plenty of travel and unusual hours are par for the course as well.

It doesn’t happen overnight. For Gervais, the journey began on the carrier side at Prevoyant du Canada, where he started as a file clerk and made his way up to underwriter. From there he moved to American International Group Inc. (AIG) and then to Munich Re. But he found the reinsurance game “too quiet,” he says – plenty of phone calls, not enough direct customer interaction. So given the chance, Gervais switched to brokering, starting at Johnson & Higgins, where he worked with his first international customer: C-MAC Industries, a microelectronics company headquartered in Sherbrooke, Que., that was looking to expand.

“They acquired 33 companies in 36 months, working all over the place – Europe, U.S.A, Canada,” he recalls. “Basically I got my experience in the international business with them.”

When Johnson & Higgins was acquired by Marsh Canada Ltd. (1997), Gervais continued working with international clients such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, which needed insurance for various travelling exhibitions around the world, including one travelling between Canada and France with impressionist paintings worth $1.1 billion.

Given the opportunity to become a shareholder, Gervais joined Lowndes Lambert Group Canada, where he worked with international water-treatment technology company GLV Inc., operating in 30 countries with 2,300 employees. In 2007 Lowndes Lambert was acquired by Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., a publicly traded brokerage currently with sales of more than $2 billion annually, operating in 125 countries, with 13,000 employees.

The acquisition landed Gervais in the president, Quebec position, where he oversees premiums of $25 million annually in Montreal and Halifax.

He still has a hand in serving clients, including GLV. “A small portion of my time is the management of the company, maybe 20%,” he says. “The main portion goes to service my own book of business. I am an insurance broker, not just the branch manager or president.”

To meet the needs of the international market, Gervais had to hone his communication skills and learn to delve deep into customers’ operations. An extensive insurance and brokerage network goes hand-in-hand with hard work in the quest for success on a global scale.

The Language of Insurance

Communication is a constant challenge. Language barriers and cultural differences make business all the more difficult on the international level.

Gervais, who speaks French and English, notes that for the most part, business is conducted in English in many places. But sometimes he needs a translator to communicate with customers’ employees in some countries, and that can make workdays somewhat longer, since conversations take at least twice as much time with an intermediary conjoining the correspondents.

And even if the correspondent speaks English or French, Gervais can’t take communication for granted. It’s less of a concern among English-speaking countries like Australia, the U.K. and the U.S., where insurance isn’t all that different than it is at home. But in some countries, the industry has numerous terms that differ from those used in Quebec, making clarity difficult. France is a good example.

“One of the first things that I learned 20 years ago is not to assume that the instructions and questions you have provided were well understood,” Gervais says. “I like to double check very often.”

What’s more, business culture differs around the world. In some countries, requests are addressed in a matter of hours. In other places, answers come days later. It’s important to understand which countries operate in which ways, or the broker risks offending the client or business partner involved, Gervais says.

Communication is the key to understanding the customer’s business, which can be complicated in international accounts. For instance, GLV may be in the wastewater treatment industry in one country, and in the pulp and paper industry in another. What are each country’s regulations from an insurance point of view? The liabilities are bound to differ. What are the local rules regarding insurance needs?

Gervais is used to travelling. Operating as GLV’s risk management arm, AJG provides close client services, which means Gervais has to visit the client’s operations to truly understand the risks involved, and the customer’s local insurance needs.

Nothing beats being there, he says. In one situation Gervais travelled to numerous locations and viewed techniques used by specialized building contractors in the construction business. In some locations, he found that concrete buildings were supported by steel jacks as the concrete cured. Elsewhere, bamboo was used to stabilize the structure.

“If you are the underwriter and I tell you my client is building concrete buildings four, six, eight stories high all around the world, you may think that it is what you know,” Gervais points out. “But in reality, in some countries it might be very different.”

Laws and Logistics

One aspect that is bound to be different is the client’s time zone – another challenge in international business.

“The insurance business being what it is, we often get last-minute requests,” Gervais says. “Doing business all around the world means that your working week may start Sunday night. Asia and Australia, for example, are at work when you finish your dinner. Being committed to international business means that you are committed to sometimes working seven days a week.”

But that may be just another reality for brokers looking to succeed in the global marketplace. It certainly jibes with the amount of time Gervais puts into his work.

“I don’t work 35, 40 hours a week,” he says. “I work a lot more.”

International laws can be another challenge. Some countries permit non-admitted paper, so the insurer doesn’t need to underwrite policies locally. Other places forbid non-admitted paper, making local representation all the more important.

What’s taxable? That’s a question many international brokers are considering after Adidas’ New Delhi situation (see India country report by clicking here). According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the shoe manufacturer received US$30 million from insurance after a 2009 fire at its warehouse. Adidas reportedly argued that the payment wasn’t taxable because the insurance policy was taken out by Adidas AG, the global controlling company. But India’s tax investigators found that money was transferred from the global corporation to its local arm, leading the investigators to the conclusion that the insurance money actually belonged to the local unit, and should be taxed.

International laws can be tricky. According to Gervais, an extensive global network of corporate offices and trusted partners stationed around the world can provide the on-the-ground information the brokerage needs in order to properly advise clients and inform insurers.

“I’m going to be in touch with my local office and say, ‘Here is what I know about the laws and regulations in your country. Can you confirm that I am right and I’m not missing something?’ My network is a first source of reference.”

But those networks can be tricky as well, consisting of corporate offices and partners. To ensure quality, the brokerage qualifies partners based on servicing capabilities, probity and positive reputation in the market before agreeing to share international responsibilities with them.

How does the company decide whether it should open a corporate office itself, or partner up? Gervais says that depending on the area, sometimes it makes more sense for AJG to work with the local top-rated broker.

“It goes with the customer’s needs,” he says. “If the need is only to issue an invoice and a local policy, it does not make much difference. If the need is to be involved in various projects – construction and manufacturing sites – and to be present on a day-to-day basis, we may prefer to partner with the number-one or two in that country, which may be closer to clients and provide a wider scope of services.”

Having worked with global networks at three brokerages (Johnson & Higgins, Marsh and AJG), Gervais says every network is different. And “none is perfect,” he says. But in his experience, customers prefer to work with brokerages that start from the client’s point of view: which organizational framework makes the most sense for the customer? “The corporate office does not always provide the best service. It depends on the need.”

One challenge: negotiating pay structures for partner brokerages. “All international firms like us have a predetermined set-up for remuneration shared between offices involved on an international account,” Gervais says. “Large business is often done on a fee basis, and not on a commission basis. In some countries, partners aren’t used to the fee basis.” That can result in some interesting discussions with partners.

AJG also expects the carriers to operate internationally if they want the customers’ business. While many insurers will say they’re global, in fact they may only have a couple of offices in the usual places – financial centres such as New York, London, and Zurich, Gervais says. He says that no more than five to seven insurers have genuinely global networks with a presence in 50 to 75 countries consisting of corporate offices and partners.

AJG works with all global carriers. “I have never been in a country yet where the insurance company we used could not issue a local policy.”

Advice for Young Brokers

Listen more, talk less. Stay honest. “Never be shy to say, ‘I don’t have this experience personally. Let me go back and ask my colleagues about this.’” And if it’s experience in the international market you’re after, aim for a position with a company that operates in the global market, he says.

Puzzle Your Way Through Art in Inklings

As someone who’s no expert on art, I can’t always appreciate a painting or drawing the way some people can. What I can recognize is how cool art-style backdrops would be as levels in a mobile game, which is why Inklings caught my eye.

Its creator, Applepine Games, describes Inklings as “a beautiful Lemmings-style puzzler featuring artsy hand drawn and painted levels.” The Inklings themselves are small round beings with glasses (maybe being too close to the art is having detrimental effects on their vision?) who need your help to get to the goal of each level, which appears to be a pretty literal hole in reality.

As you can see in the trailer below, guiding the Inklings through each hand-drawn or painted level takes some doing, thanks to the varied nature of the backgrounds and a host of interesting game mechanics.

The way the characters interact with their environment looks extremely engaging, as you can see the Inklings erasing parts of the paintings, shifting objects around, using portals and much more. Physics also appear to be variable, which, let’s face it, is kind of what you’d expect if you were sucked into a painting. Not that I’ve thought about that since Mary Poppins, mind you.

In any case, Inklings is on the way for both iOS and PC/Mac on October 6. It’s already got a Steam page to call its own and an official site, and since it’s a “pay one price” affair and not free-to-play, you may want to consider setting aside a few bucks for the App Store if this tickles your artistic fancy.

Pumped BMX 3 Review: Pumped Up

As a kid, I was too big a wimp to try BMX biking, despite watching a few friends pull off some cool tricks. A lack of dexterity in my body and some good old-fashioned cowardice got in the way for me. Luckily, I have some dexterity in my hands which means that games like Pumped BMX 3 are ideal for my wishful thinking.

The third and final instalment in the popular Pumped BMX series continues to build upon the success of earlier games. You’re tasked with over 720 challenges to work through, participating in various different arenas across 6 interesting environments. That’s a lot of content. It’s also admittedly content that not everyone is going to see. Pumped BMX 3 is pretty tough at times. It’s something that you can learn and improve at, but don’t expect it to be an easy ride.

Pumped BMX 3 Review: Pumped Up

Starting out, a tutorial guides you through the basics. A pump button helps you accelerate down the course, while spin has you spinning in midair. A joystick can be tilted in numerous different directions in order to pull off certain moves while you’re flying through the air. Oh, and tilting your iPhone affects how you lean on the bike. That’s quite a lot to take on board, but Pumped BMX 3 is reasonably good at easing you in.

The key to many levels is to be able to build up sufficient momentum in order to even get to the end. Oftentimes, you’ll have to replay stages to get a feel for a stage before knowing when and where to pull off a few tricks. Luckily hitting restart takes hardly any time at all. Juggling tricks and the many different ways in which you can achieve them is a real balancing act, but it’s satisfying when you manage it. The idea is very much a matter of “don’t run before you can walk.”

Pumped BMX 3 Review: Pumped Up

Where Pumped BMX 3 helps you out is through the Skill Challenges section. Upon selecting a level, you’re given a series of objectives. These relate to different medals. You can gain a bronze medal simply for completing a level, while a platinum might have you pulling off a series of cool tricks in a row. It’s an excellent system because it means that most ability levels will still be able to achieve a bare minimum medal. It also gives you the perfect reason to go back for more, trying to improve upon your earlier scores.

And that’s the beauty behind Pumped BMX 3. It’s tough but consistently rewarding. You find yourself going back for more, even if it might make you yell a few choice words along the way. For the personalization fan, there’s the option of picking out different bikes too, as well as changing up your rider. It’s a small but neat touch in a game that’s full of sensibly thought out ideas.

At times, the physics engine might seem a little dated. Certain moments have your rider stuck in the ground in a way that looks awkward rather than charmingly ragdoll-ish, but mostly, Pumped BMX 3 hits the spot every other time. Not everyone is going to manage to complete all 720 challenges, with some particularly fiendish, but the journey there is satisfying stuff. Even more so when completely free of in-app purchases. Pumped BMX 3 is an ideal premium purchase.

Wheel of Fortune Free Play Review: Not So Lucky

Wheel of Fortune Free Play is a game that’s simultaneously quite fun and utterly forgettable. Kind of like the TV show it’s based on. We’ve all enjoyed a few episodes of Wheel of Fortune here and there, but I can’t imagine anyone has thought “I can’t wait to see the next show!” The gaming equivalent is much the same. It’s fun, but you won’t exactly be rushing to return to it.

Wheel of Fortune Free Play attempts to throw some kind of structure into the core game by having you travel the world by completing different themes in various cities. Along the way there are upgrades to pick up too, helping to give you a sense of progression. Despite this attempt at turning Wheel of Fortune Free Play into a kind of story-led game though, the bulk of the experience is pretty much what you’d expect.

wheel of fortune free play review
You take your time spinning the wheel, picking out letters, and trying to solve the puzzle by guessing what the phrase is. It’s a format that’s familiar to anyone who has owned a TV set in the last 30+ years. There are different categories available, ensuring there’s a fair amount of diversity.

Where Wheel of Fortune Free Play falters is that some of the solutions can be a tad obscure. This is partly down to them sometimes being niche references, but also because they don’t always fit into the category hugely well. When pursuing something listed under ‘people’, you assume it’s going to be a famous person rather than a group of people that happen to be related to each other. But you’re just as likely to find “School Principal” as you are “Angelina Jolie.”

Despite this, Wheel of Fortune Free Play is still pretty fun once you learn its eccentricities. Each game only takes a few minutes and follows the format of the show closely. You take turns with other players, opting to spin for a consonant or pay for a vowel. Win a game and you get to partake in a bonus round which leads to additional bits and pieces that all tie into the many freemium style elements of the game.

wheel of fortune free play review

And yes, this is unfortunately a game that offers an energy system, meaning you won’t get to play for as long as you might like. It doesn’t even have the decency to restore your energy when you level up. This probably isn’t a game you’re going to want to play for hours on end anyway, but it is notable that Wheel of Fortune Free Play feels increasingly like it wants your money. As well as the energy system, you can buy hints for a price too.

On the plus side, there’s a goals/achievement system that encourages you to complete certain things before earning diamonds for doing so. Those diamonds can then be used to buy hints and other bonuses. In a way, it’s all filler content. After all, merely completing the word puzzles themselves is pretty satisfying, but the achievements system does help those keen for more of a structure.

Those puzzles could be sharper, and the free-to-play elements less intrusive, but Wheel of Fortune Free Play manages to capture the feel of the show fairly well. Will it stick around on your iPhone for a while to come? I think that’s actually down to a hidden away addition — the ability to create your own puzzles and share them with friends. Get some people involved, and that’s where things are most rewarding. Otherwise, alone, you might find Wheel of Fortune Free Play a little too samey in the long term. One day, you’ll run out of energy/tickets, and you’ll simply forget to go back.

Reminder: Mixology Monday II

Mixology MondayJust in case anybody forgot to mark their calendar, this Monday, May 8, is the second Mixology Monday. The May event is being hosted by Darcy at The Art of Drink, and Darcy has selected the theme to be “Coffee” — drinks made with it; drinks made with coffee liqueur; virtually any kind of coffee connection you can make with spirits and cocktails is welcome.

Participating is easy. If you’ve got a blog, just post your coffee-related post by the end of Monday, send a note to Darcy at (don’t forget to put up a link to his blog, so readers can tune in for the full event), and sit back with your coffee cocktail. Darcy will post a wrapup of the event on Tuesday or thereabouts, and we can all then check out each other’s posts and sample each other’s recipes.

(Oh, and if you don’t have a blog? I suppose there are a couple of people out there who haven’t jumped on this particular bandwagon yet — no problem; just type up your entry and e-mail it to Darcy, and it will be factored in with the rest for the wrapup. C’mon, you know who you are — you know drinks; hell, you even know coffee drinks; chime in and let us know what you’ve got.)

Last month, for the first Mixology Monday, we had some great posts from the U.S., Canada and Spain on the topic of pastis. It’d be great to see that same turnout, or even better, for the May event. So start thinking about coffee (and booze, of course), put together your two cents and put it up by this Monday.

MMIII will be hosted on June 5 by Rick at Kaiser Penguin; the topic is forthcoming.

Want to host an upcoming Mixology Monday? Fill me in.

One Response to Reminder: Mixology Monday II

  1. I guess I best be deciding what my topic will be. After giving it much thought, I decided it must be something related to summer’s approach. But everything I came up with was too narrow or may exclude some who don’t have access to odd ingredients nor the drive to buy them.

    This led me in a whole different direction, and I have decided on the following ingredient: mint.

Humor: TrumpScript – Make Python great again

Sam Shadwell and Chris Brown, two computer science students “make Python great again”, and in the process, troll Donald Trump beautifully.  They invented a new programming language called TrumpScript when they participated in HackRice last week.

Some of TrumpScript’s features include

  • No floating point numbers, only integers. America never does anything halfway.
  • All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. The small stuff is inconsequential to us.
  • There are no import statements allowed. All code has to be home-grown and American made.
  • Instead of True and False, we have fact and lie.
  • Only the most popular English words, Trump’s favorite words, and current politician names can be used as variable names.
  • Error messages are mostly quotes directly taken from Trump himself.
  • All programs must end with “America is great.”
  • Our language will automatically correct Forbes’ $4.5B to $10B.
  • In its raw form, TrumpScript is not compatible with Windows, because Trump isn’t the type of guy to believe in PC.
  • The language is completely case insensitive.

If you want to try TrumpScript, follow the instructions on the project’s Github page to set up. And once you’ve installed, try this TrumpScript program I’ve written for you!

say "roses are red"
say "violets are blue"

if , lie ; :
  say "if I can beat Hillary"
  say "so can you" !
else :
  say "read the verge dot com"
  say "it's good for you!" !

America is great.

Vic Finora Named Cross Country Coach

Vic Finora Named Cross Country Coach

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College athletic director Lynn Griffin announced today that Vic Finora has been promoted to head men’s and women’s cross country coach.

Finora has been an assistant coach for the women’s basketball team the past two years. The team went 11-16 overall with an 11-6 mark in conference play last season. He will continue his duties to the women’s team.

“I am very excited and grateful for this opportunity,” said Finora. “We have a talented group that has made great strides, and I am confident we will continue to build on our recent success. I look forward to seeing what our men and women can do.”

“Vic has made tremendous contributions as an assistant coach, and we believe his talents and competitive drive will transition well as a head coach,” said Griffin. “I have no doubt he will be successful in leading our cross country program.”

Finora replaces Kevin Kelley, who resigned. Kelley served as head coach since 2010, during which period both the men’s and women’s teams saw important growth. Both teams finished in the top 10 in the Conference Carolinas championships in 2010 and at the Furman Invite this past season. In addition, last year Brandon Cain was an all-conference selection and set the Coker record in an 8K race, Dylan Bates was named to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic team and the women’s team was named a USTFCCCA All-Academic team.

For more information, contact Chris Dougherty, manager of athletics media relations, at 843-383-8018 or

Coleshill Town 4 v 5 Stourport Swifts

Postby Alan Beckett » Sun Oct 15, 2017 5:31 pm

Saturday 14th October 2017
Midland Football League Premier
Coleshill Town 4 v 5 Stourport Swifts
Town: Jordan Nadat 2, Matt Gardner, Liam Molesworth.
Swifts: Paul Hurrell 2, Aaron Lloyd 2, Nick MacPherson.
Attendance: 116.
Opposition Player Of The Match: Jordan Nadat (Coleshill) Paul Hurrell (Stourport)
Supporters Club Man Of the Match, Sponsored by Greensleeves: Jordan Nadat.

Coleshill: Paul Hathaway, Jesse Race, Anton Astley, Rob Evans (Drew Aiton), Joe Cole, Gio Dainty, Ryan Edmunds, Dean Rathbone, Jordan Nadat, Reece Leek (Liam Molesworth), Matt Gardner (James Medford).

Stourport: Dominic Richards, Joel Caines, Sam Beasley, Myles Newman, Ben Priest, Paul Hurrell, Daniel Sweeney Ashley Parsons-Smith, Aaron Lloyd, Alex Perry, Nick MacPherson. Subs: Alex Smith, Harry Higginson, Shawn Devonport, Callum Grant.

Lloyd Cracker Banks The Points For Swifts

Stourport Swifts chalked up the result of the day, twice coming from two goals down to beat league leaders Coleshill Town 5-4. The home side looked to be cruising to victory as Jordan Nadat steered them into a 2-0 interval lead with goals on 32 and 36 minutes. Swifts clawed their way back in the second half, thanks to a Paul Hurrell double, scoring from close range each time as the hosts failed to deal with corners. The game swung back Coleshill's way when a Matt Gardner header and a Liam Molesworth effort restored the two goal cushion but Swifts had a sting in the tail. Aaron Lloyd reduced the arrears from the spot following a foul on Dan Sweeney before Nick MacPherson levelled the scores with nine minutes to go. It was Lloyd who netted the 86th minute winner with the goal of the game, a stunning 25 yard strike that flew into the top corner.

Coleshill lost their 100% Home record in spectacular fashion but maintained top spot, just! Town certainly know how to score goals but some kamikaze defending resulted in shipping five goals, the last time that happened was April 2014 against AFC Wulfrunians.

Coleshill were without their engine room, Danny Tymon and Joe Halsall, and it showed. Also missing was Jorna Moulton and Luke Edwards but there is still enough in the squad to see off mid-table Stourport?

Every team that visits Pack Meadow love to play on the magnificent surface and Swifts started well with Perry pulling the strings but when Coleshill attacked they were quick to take down a man if necessary and Jordan Nadat got his fair share. An entertaining game came to life on the half hour when Matt Gardner headed a great cross from Ryan Edmunds onto the bar and Jordan Nadat was first to react to slam the loose ball into the net. And just four minutes later it was two as a defence splitting pass from Dean Rathbone found Jordan Nadat left side of the box and his rocket shot burst the net. Rob Evans shot over the bar and Jordan Nadat and Ryan Edmunds pinched the ball near the corner flag, Edmunds got to the bye line and picked out Nadat but his goalbound shot was blocked as Coleshill finished the half well in control.

Jordan Nadat had an early chance to increase the lead but his shot went straight at the keeper and Stourport took advantage to haul themselves back into the game. On 51 minutes a corner found Lloyd at the back post and his header back into the danger area was forced over the line by Hurrell. A Ryan Edmunds free kick then hit the bar and Matt Gardner headed over and Jordan Nadat had a shot saved. Town keeper Paul Hathaway had to tip a shot from Newman over the bar before Swifts equalised on 58 minutes. Almost a repeat of the first goal saw Hurrell again force the ball over the line from a goalmouth scramble, 2-2. Hathaway saved from Sweeney before Coleshill restored their lead on 68 minutes. A free kick from Ryan Edmunds was punched up in the air by visiting keeper Richards and Matt Gardner rose highest to head home at the far post. Liam Molesworth cut inside from the left wing and although his shot took a wicked deflection, Richards made a reflex save to palm out for a corner and Drew Aiton's resulting volley flew just wide. On 75 minutes Liam Moleworth cut inside from the left again but this time his bending shot went round defender and keeper and into the far corner of the net, what a cracker! 4-2, Coleshill must be able to close out the game now! Three minutes later Sweeney went down in the box and penalty was awarded, Lloyd converted. Another three minutes past and Sweeney's storming run took him into the box and when he was stopped by a Joe Cole tackle the ball fell kindly to MacPherson who quickly toe poked home 4-4. Coleshill were all at sea now and the final whistle couldn't come soon enough. With just four minutes remaining Lloyd took a punt from 25 yards and his shot went over Hathaway and dipped just in time to go under the bar and into the net. There was still time for Coleshill to hit the woodwork again when Anton Astley's cross came to Liam Molesworth whose cracking shot hit the post and Jordan Nadat's follow up shot went wide. Unbelievable but well deserved from a Swifts side that always believed they could win this game.

Bromsgrove Sporting had a fine away win at Heanor and are breathing down Town's neck, Worcester City drew with South Normanton and next weeks opponents Sporting Khalsa beat Loughborough 4-0. The Colemen need to get over this disappointment quickly and get back on a winning run.

A Match Report taken from Stourport web site.

Coleshill Town 4  Stourport Swifts 5  MPL  Sat 14th October     Att: 116

Stourport Swifts twice came back from two goals behind and snatched a late winner to leave league leaders Coleshill in shock.
Coleshill had won every home game so far this season and Swifts found themselves two behind at the break after Jordan Nadat first fired in from close range after Dean Rathbone’s header came back off the bar, and then blasted an unstoppable shot past Richards for his second.
Stourport hit back after the break when Paul Hurrell twice was on hand to score from close range after corners from Ashley Parsons-Smith.
With the game level after an hour and both teams going close again, Coleshill forged ahead again when first leading scorer Matt Gardner headed home after Richards misjudged a free kick from the left, and then sub Liam Molesworth cut inside to fire a curling shot into the top corner.
Dan Sweeney stepped up to make an impact after 78 minutes when his surging run into the box saw him brought down by Joe Cole and Aaron Lloyd coolly rammed home the spot kick to pull a goal back. Three minutes later Sweeney did it again, when his run allowed Nick MacPherson to drive low past Hathaway in the Coleshill goal and level for the Swifts for the second time.
With 4 minutes left, Aaron Lloyd took a ball on his chest 25 yards out and fired a screamer volley past Hathaway to put his side front for the first time in the match. In the closing minutes Coleshill almost snatched an equaliser, but Nadat’s fierce drive came back off the post.

SWIFTS: Richards, Caines, Priest, Hurrell, Beasley, Sweeney, Newman, Perry, Parsons-Smith, MacPherson, Lloyd. SUBS USED: Higginson

Leaseholders right to manage
The Leaseholders right to manage
There are one and a half million flat leaseholders in the UK. The majority of leaseholders do not own their freehold and have little control over the management of their building. Unwarranted loading of leaseholder service charges is a widespread and common problem. There are legal processes available to provide redress for unreasonable charging but these are time consuming and few go to the leasehold valuation tribunal to seek redress.

When the Government introduced the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 it provided leaseholders with a right to take control of the management of their building. This process is known as the 'Right to Manage' and is open to all owners of private leasehold flats subject to a few perfectly reasonable criteria. No failure on the part of the existing freeholder or managing agent is required to take up the Right to Manage option.

The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 provides a right for leaseholders to force the transfer of the landlord's management functions to a special company set up by them - the right to manage company. The right was introduced, not just as a means of wresting control from bad landlords, but also to empower leaseholders, who generally hold the majority of value in the property, to take responsibility for the management of their block.

At Common Ground Estate and Property Services we provide a complete solution ranging from assessing your right to manage right through to securing this right and managing the estate based on YOUR instructions. Our aim is to give you control but also take the stress out of managing the estate allowing you to enjoy your property.

If we are unable to secure your right to manage all fees will be refunded.

For further information and an in depth explanation and the processes invloved, The Leasehold Advisory Service has an excellent article which can be viewed here

The Right to Manage has been designed as a relatively straightforward process that can be executed by leaseholders. Alterntaively, a third party can be appointed such as Common Ground or a law firm competent in the process (very few are). Either way, Common Ground has created a two page summary of the right to manage and the processes to enable leaseholders to decide the best approach for them.

CTV Volunteers Produce a News Program, “Santa Cruz Currents”

The CTV Volunteer Advisory Committee has produced a new, monthly news program named “Santa Cruz Currents”, which is playing on channels 27 / 73 on Mondays at 6:00 PM and Wednesdays at 6:30 PM.

The program includes interviews, video from the field, a community calendar and a “Science and News” segment hosted by Sara Isenberg of Santa Cruz Tech Beat.
To see an article in Tech Beat about the program, click here.

Here’s the first program:

I feel like it’s a Pepsi or Coke thing: You gotta pick one, and I’m more of a Weeknd guy.” - Danny Brown on collaborating with the Weeknd, preferring him over Frank Ocean. [via MTVHive]


text: The mad scientist of style mixes and matches with no abandon, taking the risks other guys would balk at. The Proportion Players need a man like that on their squad, which usually consists of unathletic Internet men's fashion nerds and heavy-hitting steezy Japanese dudes. Adding Westbrook to their ranks gives this clique a good starter who can represent on the big fronts like New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, but has no problem stunting on the smaller courts like Peoria, Illinois' little-known Man Skirt Convention. Speaking of convention, this layer lover breaks it on a regular basis. Who says your shirt has to be shorter than your jacket? Not this guy.

Default Re: little problem with Dll file

You'd have to use a floppy disc I think. Make it bootable, and then have the System32 file on it, and have it copy it over to the right directory from there.

I'm no wiz when it comes to dos commands, so i'm not sure exactly how.
Plus, if you have Windows XP (Though I don't think this file is in XP and so you can't be using it), its very hard to get a bootable floppy as far as I know. Try this site to download one, as I think they do have ones for XP if this is the case, or they have one for other windows too:

So create that, and then drag the system32 file onto the floppy disc as well from another source, from maybe the computer your using now.

After that, and the bootdisc has sucessfully loaded on bootup, you can start typing commands. This should do it:

A:\>copy system32.dll C:\Windows\System32\system32.dll

This should, if I'm right, copy the system32.dll file from the floppy to the right directory on the computer

I think its in System32 within the windows subfolder anyway.
You can check that though before doing it. I tried to for you, but when doing a search, it didn't find the file...After doing a quick search on the Internet, I realised that Windows XP doesn't include this file and so isn't needed.

Hopefully after doing this, Windows will boot.

I hope this helps

*EDIT* If you do have Windows XP and its asking for that file at bootup, i've found it could be a corrupt installation, or a virus since one hides itself as system32 apparently and looks rather innocent.

Why exactly has it suddenly deleted? Is it a new installation?

It’s been a few weeks since the announcement of the “historic” COP21 agreement, wherein a majority of the world settled on goals for mitigating and adapting to climate change. Since then, I’ve been asked by countless family members at holiday gatherings how my experience in Paris was and what I think of the agreement that came out of the conference. I’ve struggled to convey my feelings to them, unsure of how to put into words the mixed feelings I have about COP21.

Just ten years ago, very few companies had a sustainability page on their website. Now, it is ubiquitous. The word "sustainability" has woven itself into marketing and branding strategy such that companies use it to market themselves. This is a matter of pride. While there are multiple meanings for the word "sustainability," the focus here is environmental consciousness.

“Just keep it up. You’re doing the Lord’s work, and we’re going to win this thing together,” proclaimed a U.S. Senator in Paris during COP21. Ironic as it may be, these words were not those of a delegate in the COP21 negotiations nor those of a protestor in the streets of the French capitol. They were the words of Oklahoman Senator Jim Inhofe at a "counter-conference" for climate change deniers.

January 5, 2016 | How to Protect the Wild

Contemporary American culture idolizes the wilderness, but how exactly do we protect this Eden-like places? As public sentiment shifted to the protection and conservation of these Eden-like refuges against human contamination, a vast array of different (and often conflicting) conservation development approaches began to emerge. Currently, there is a global trend towards conservation development and a variety of different approaches have emerged.

In the aftermath of COP21, the conversation is dominated by talk of INDCs (Intended Nationally Determined Contributions), emissions reductions, and energy transitions, and while these are some of the most important steps to achieving the goals laid out by the Paris Agreement, they definitely don’t tell the full story.

When it comes to climate change, Christians get a bad rap.

Studies continue to indicate that in America — and particularly on Capitol Hill — conservative religiousity is closely linked to doubt on climate science. Yet there is a growing cohort of faith groups that seeks to overturn this stereotype.

I didn’t find out for quite some time that being a vegetarian actually helps the environment. It was only after watching Food Inc. that I realized how much energy it takes to produce meat and how harmful it is to the environment. Before that, I never cared where my food came from. And most of us still do not consider it. Maybe we just don’t know because there is no transparency within this industry. Maybe it is because we have heard rumors about what goes on behind our food production, but we just do not want to know. It is only natural.

Although protecting the wilderness has become the status quo in many communities around the world, have you ever stopped to take a moment to question how we got here?

International climate change negotiations are a painfully slow process. Any observer present at COP21 could attest to that. The recently signed accord in Paris, decades in the making, took thirteen days of relentless deliberation among 195 countries, and even then was only signed at the last second — the evening on the day after the official end of the conference.

Knowing how sluggish these things can be, the conference organizers even preemptively booked the Le Bourget negotiation space for a week after the conference ended, just in case.

What's the Security Council Smoking?

Is the UN sticking a yellow smiley-face sticker on a situation they didn't anticipate and can't control? I've just watched the informal press comments of the current president of the Security Council (and Deputy Permanent Representative of France), Mr. Jean-Pierre Lacroix, and the assistant SG for peacekeeping, H.E. Mr. Edmond Mulet, on the situation in Democratic Republic of the Congo, and both of them seem overly optimistic about the joint FARDC-Rwanda operation. Singing from the same hymnbook, they praised it as a positive development and an advance in regional cooperation. Neither gave any indication that they understood how easily things could go wrong. It's a common reaction among bureaucrats who have lost control of a situation to pronounce themselves pleased with the latest developments; it means they don't have to admit to their bosses that they screwed up.

It is possible that this operation will be a success, that the Rwandans will round-up the key ex-genocidaires they've been looking for, and then leave. But you'd have to be smoking some pretty strong stuff not to be aware of the pitfalls, and not to begin preparing contingency plans. This is an operation being led by James Kabarere on the Rwandan side and John Numbi on the Congolese side, both of whom are certifiable psychopaths. (And let's not forget the promotion of Bosco "The Terminator" Ntanganda, fingered in late November by the NYT and HRW for the Kiwanja massacre, and wanted for war crimes by the ICC, as head of the new CNDP.)

What if the Mai-Mai resist the Rwandan incursion? What if the FDLR or the renegade CNDP can't be so easily captured? What if the Rwandans or the FARDC begin committing massacres in the Kivus? Who represents the Rwandaphone community and their (very real) interests in Congo, now that the CNDP has been officially disbanded? And what happens in Kinshasa if the operation goes awry? Will Kabila be able to survive, politically? How will he govern for the next two years if the entire country turns against him?

I hope I'm wrong. But the UN's top people should be much more worried than they are. This has the makings of a real disaster. The UN should be preparing for it--and laying the groundwork to request a significant increase in military assistance and diplomatic pressure from the major donor countries.

Before June 23rd, Leave campaigners argued (I believe correctly) that the EU was heading toward a federal super state, driven by an out of control bureaucracy. But since June 24th, some Leavers now argue other member states and that EU institutions (involved in the low level negotiations), will be fair and reasonable, happy to see us depart.

This is wrong. The EU Commission wants Brexit to fail and fail badly. The Member States face divided electorates at home. Post-referendum, support for the EU and Euro rose due to doom-laden predictions about a post-EU UK. Yet if the UK succeeds, this support will drain away. A thriving UK exiting the EU will mean others will follow within a decade or so. Europe’s leaders know this to be the case, and so Brexit must fail. The meeting of Italian, German and French leaders this week was defiant.

Trade will not save us

While Europe benefits from trading with the UK, the net effects are small and distributed among a small number of countries. In 2014 just eight EU countries had trade worth more than £10 billion (in either exports or imports). Only four have a net positive trade imbalance greater than £5 billion. Spain, a major partner, sees overall trade with the UK at $50 billion, given current exchange rates. This is not huge in a $1.5 trillion economy. Germany has a $150 billion UK trade sector in a $3.8 trillion economy. If we have a WTO tariff rate of 10 per cent (and under WTO rules this is at the top range), in both directions, this works out at a ‘cost’ to the countries of around 0.3 per cent of GDP. Not worth sacrificing European unity for.

The real strategy must be to divide and reform Europe

So we face a hostile Commission and at best ambivalent nation states. Of course, some European politicians have publicly or privately lost faith in ‘ever closer union’. Even more, people in Europe have lost faith. Before the Brexit vote, in countries bar the UK, Pew polling found 42 per cent wanted more powers back for Member States, 19 per cent wanted more powers for the EU, and 27 per cent want no change. As the graph below shows, the UK is not an outlier in its views of the EU. Another major Euro crisis, or a thriving UK outside the EU, would make the current EU unviable in many states.

Views of EU

Our new terms under Article 50 merely require a vote in the European parliament (including UK MEPs) and a Qualified Majority Vote. This QMV is 72 per cent of the member states comprising at least 65 per cent of the EU’s population.

The goal must be to get this QMV, or even if we fail, trigger others to push for a new status as well, splitting Europe and forcing the creation of a genuine two-tier union. We will not get a good deal as a single country – but with other member states the chances begin to shift as trade and geopolitical considerations tip in our favour.

Since 2000 referendums have rejected EU centralisation in Ireland, Holland and France. Eastern Europe is unhappy about migration and neglecting NATO. Southern Europe is unhappy about German-led Eurozone economic policies. Scandinavia never really bought ever closer union in the first place. Holland and Germany resent what they see as Southern profligacy. Superstar economists such as Joseph Stiglitz criticise the Euro. The ground is fertile for a decentralised Europe.

We need to return to the successful European Common Market

We are inevitably in a showdown with pro-federalist EU politicians. So we need to get other countries to think that the UK deal may one day apply to themselves.

To win we need to push three key elements. Firstly, we must make it clear we want a Europe of national states – a Common Market of national governments – not just Brexit. This means freedom of movement of goods, services, and capital, but where regulatory difference is accepted, not a single regulatory zone controlled by Brussels; co-operation on crime and other areas, but voluntary and inter-governmental; and smaller (although still operating) transfers of funds between countries.

Secondly, we should not put EU and non-EU citizens on equal footing. Bringing EU migration down to ‘tens of thousands’ means reducing numbers by 20-30 per cent. In 2015, 270,000 EU citizens came to the UK while around 85,000 left, giving net migration of 185,000 a year. Some UK citizens also move to the EU, though the data here is limited, giving us this 20-30 per cent figure. We could reduce unskilled labour through restrictions on in-work benefits, place geographical restrictions on work (so you can come to London but not East Anglia), and limit spousal/family unions to those who can work. But we must give EU migrants a higher priority than others.

Thirdly, we need to argue the Euro has failed. The Euro is the great delusion that will doom the federalists (and it is is why EU net migration to the UK has surged). When the next Euro crisis hits this will be our moment of maximum opportunity and we must be ready to seize it.

We must subordinate all other policies if necessary to secure this goal

This strategy will only succeed if other policies are brought to bear, some of which were discussed by Vicky Ford earlier this week. We will help Greece by diverting aid funding to refugees there. We will support our Eastern European allies by being firm on defence. We will not cut corporation tax if that annoys Sweden. We will still allow some unskilled European migration to high growth areas like London. We will bear down more on non-EU migration (starting with 140,000 non-EU students, few heading to Oxbridge or Russell Group universities), not drive net EU migration to zero. We will engage in scientific collaboration. We will spend aid previously given to the EU on Bulgaria (GDP per capita $7,500) and Romania (GDP per capita $9,500).

The UK will not get fair treatment in Brexit. Fortunately, the Euro and a federal Europe will unravel. We need to realise Brexit is not just a trade discussion, and start developing a strategy accordingly. Brexit means politics.

Statistics on Cooperatives: COPAC takes action with expert workshop

Reliable and quality statistical data are essential in order to fully understand the scope of the cooperative movement in the world and the economic, social, and environmental impacts of cooperative enterprises on sustainable development.

While statistical data on cooperatives are available, information is not necessarily collected in the same way or at all within every country or sector. The kinds of data collected also vary widely. For example, not all countries or sectors track gender disaggregated data.

The members of COPAC recognize the need for improved quality of cooperative statistics, especially now that implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is underway, and that the 20th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) is on the horizon for 2018.

To take the issue forward, COPAC is organizing a multi-stakeholder workshop for experts on cooperative statistics. The workshop will take place on 5-6 April 2016 in Rome, Italy at FAO headquarters.

The objectives of the workshop are to:

  • Present the findings from the global mapping and country case studies by the ILO and FAO and gather feedback and inputs from participants;
  • Identify and agree on key areas for future joint work during 2016-17, also within the framework of the SDGs, to improve the accessibility and generation of statistics on cooperatives, including the following areas:
    • identification of the definitions, data collection methods and classification schemes currently used in official statistics on cooperatives around the world;
    • development of proposals for a standard, operational definition of cooperatives and data collection methods;
    • contributions to the process for the development of international guidelines on cooperative statistics and methodologies for collection of data, to be proposed to the October 2018 ICLC.

This homemade costume for men entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Javier, the 'Deadmau5' costume creator:

I am wearing my homemade deadmau5 head. This project took me about a whole month to do. I used 7mm clear round rhinestones and glued every single rhinestone on to the head with super glue (I used about 5000 rhinestones). I used vegetable containers for the eyes and bought Battery Powered Christmas lights to put inside them. For the Mouth I glued black mesh fabric from the inside. I used EL wire to go around the head and ears. The ears are made of Styrofoam and I nailed them to the head. The actual head is made of Paper Mache from a 14 inch inflatable ball. Everything cost about $50. I was inspired by one of my favorite DJ Deadmau5. If you want to make one you will need a lot of time and patience.

The Lord Mayor Comes A Callin

Photo:Laurence 'Larry' Edwards Lord Mayor of Blackburn

Laurence 'Larry' Edwards Lord Mayor of Blackburn

Special Guests of Honour for Lacken - Whit Sunday 1965

By Mattie Lennon

The sun shone brightly at Lacken-on-Whit Sunday morning, 1965, following a wet night. Outside the chapel, blue serge suits and brogan shoes were the order of the day. Some trouser legs bore the horizontal and tell-tale marks of winter storage. Polished hobnailed boots were very much in evidence and even pipe-covers seemed to give off an unprecedented luster.

On such a morning, it was easy to see what Anthony Cronin meant when he said that turf-smoke "...leaves a sweet, rich, poor-man's smell on cloth." It was the opening of the Mission, the beginning of a week when fire and brimstone would rain down on all and sundry. Until about Thursday night, when a tapering-off would be noticed.

The Lord Mayor of Blackburn, Laurence Edwards and his wife, Mary

The Retreat would close on the following Sunday with the renewal of Baptismal vows and Salvation for everyone. On the Sunday in question, there was also a more mundane reason for a turnout however. The Lord Mayor of Blackburn, Laurence Edwards, and his wife, Mary, the Mayoress, were guests of honor in Lacken. This was not just a flying visit to the Wicklow mountains by the First Citizen of the Lancashire engineering town where James Hergreaves invented the spinning jenny in 1764. No. This was one of our own coming home. Larry Edwards was born in England of an Irish mother. His father was killed in World War I, on Easter Monday, April 24, 1916. Larry was then aged 9 and his sister, Margaret, who later became a nun, was 5.

Shortly after their father's death, their mother brought them to live in Shroughan, a neighboring townland of Lacken. They attended Lacken School. When Larry finished school, his mother brought him back to England, to Bolton.

There he worked in a solicitor's office until 1928. He then got a post, as a managing clerk, in a solicitor's office in Blackburn. He remained in that office, as a legal executive (F. Inst. L. ex) until he retired. He was elected mayor of Blackburn in 1965, bringing him further up the ranks of that little band of Irish people who left their stamp on English public life.

In 1965, Molly O'Higgins, from Dublin, who had worked as a "clippie," was elected mayor of Southampton. Paddy O'Connor became mayor of Camden --- although the English support of him could hardly be described as unanimous. By the early 1970s, the Irish occupied the office of mayor in three British boroughs: Luton, Derby and Kettering.

Mayor Edwards received a very warm welcome in Lacken. Speaking from a makeshift rostrum, consisting of two "four-inch solids," the parish priest, Fr. John Moynihan, regaled him with a most witty and heart-warming speech. While a Telefis Camera whirred in the background, Wicklow Co. Councillor Jimmy Miley, a schoolmate of Larry's, spoke of their early days in Lacken and named some "outstanding scholars."

Larry Edwards, in his chain of office, spoke of his school friends and teachers, one of whom --- Mrs. White was present --- with deep affection. Larry was a Blackburn Town councillor from 1945 to 1975 and Jimmy Miley, R.I.P., served for over 30 years as a member of Wicklow Co.Council, up to his death two years ago. Two Lacken schoolboys in whom their respective communities had confidence.

Larry Edwards died on March 6, 1980, R.I.P. In a letter (March 27, 1984), his widow told me how he loved Lacken. How "often he spoke of Mr. Lambert (his headmaster) and all that he did for him." Here was a man who spent his formative years in Lacken, who didn't lose the run of himself and who was described, at his funeral in Blackburn as "a shining example to all -- especially to the young."

Some Men Need Killing

 This "whodunit" had no mystery about it.  The Mayor did it.  Everybody saw him do it. In the end, it appeared, or at least to the majority of those present, that it needed to be done.

 October 22, 1904: It was a cool fall Saturday morning.  Lovett town marshal B.T. Kight and Mayor Nathaniel A. Thompson (no relation) had a job to do.  In the company of their posse, Thompson and Kight approached one L.G. Barron on a warrant issued for a opprobrious offense alleged to have occurred on Friday.   Kite said, "I hate to do this, but I have to place you under arrest."  Barron responded, "Alright, we are friends."  Barron then asked the marshal if he could post a bond on the charges in the City Court of Dublin. When the mayor refused and required that the defendant face trial Barron screamed, "Keep your d-n-d mouth shut! I'll lose the last drop of my blood before I will be tried there!"

 Barron, standing between the wheels of his buggy, pulled a knife,  and began to rub it upon one of the wheels.   Thompson reached for a pistol and fired a single, but fatal, shot.  L.T. Jackson saw the whole thing.  He had know that Barron had been threatening the mayor for more than two years, but he didn't consider him to be violent or even dangerous.  "I never heard him make any threats against Thompson, but he does talk considerably when he is drinking," Jackson said.

 Tom Bray, of Wrightsville, saw it too.  "I heard Thompson and Kight talking to Barron, who wasn't doing anything out of the way," Bray recalled.  Bray remembered that Thompson told Barron that he must be arrested, whereupon Barron dared the mayor to arrest him. Thompson said, " Throw up your hands!"  Barron retorted, "I'll die first!"  "I said, throw up your hands," the mayor repeated!  Bray didn't hear any cursing by Barron, until he was shot when he told the mayor to go ahead and shoot him in the other side.

 Sam Barron, a son of the victim later testified, "My father told Thompson he didn't have anything to do with it and that he'd be d d if there were enough men in Lovett to lock him up."

 After the excitement quieted down, Mayor Thompson was himself arrested and ordered to appear before a Magistrate Court to determine if there was probable cause to bind him over to the Superior Court on the charge of murder.  Thompson, a well liked former employee of the Central and Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad,  hired T.L. Griner and John S. Adams, two of Dublin's most able criminal defense lawyers, in his defense.  The State of Georgia brought it its own all-star prosecuting team of John B. Cooper of Macon, John L. Kent of Wrightsville, and W.E. Armistead of Sandersville to prosecute the mayor.

 In a commitment hearing in the Laurens County Courthouse on the morning of October 27, twenty-two witnesses were subpoenaed by the state, while prosecutors were ready to call thirty-two for the state's case.   Magistrates Thomas D. Smith and John B. Wolfe listened to the testimony of only a few of the state's witnesses from ten o'clock until noon.

 After a recess. Benjamin F. Parker, a Lovett merchant, repeated the previous testimony that Barron wanted to give bond, but recalled differently than others present in  that Mayor Thompson said that he would have to give bond to the town council.       Parker emphatically stated that the Barron's knife, presented by Sam Barron as of the small Barlow type, was not the weapon that the deceased had in his hand at the time of the shooting.  Parker recalled that knife was 8 to 9 inches long.  He also stated that Barron had at least "two difficulties in Lovett before being arrested and fined."  "He cursed out the mayor, council, and town generally," Parker testified.  "He was accustomed to bulldozing the town and he was a dangerous man," the Lovett merchant concluded.

 G.F. Boatright, Thompson's father-in-law, repeated the generally accepted facts and stated that Barron had a reputation for violence.

 E.T. Smith, the former marshal of Lovett, had his share of troubles with Barron.   Smith testified at that some time ago he attempted to arrest Barron for being drunk and disorderly in public. "He cursed out the court and Mayor Thompson, and drew back a stool and threatened to kill the mayor if he continued to bother him," Marshal Smith remembered.

 One Lovett resident after another took the stand in defense of their mayor.  S.F. Glover, H.G. Marchman, C.N. Lovett, J.L. Manning, and J.D. Rawls called the dead man a "bad man."  Former mayor E.M. Strange told the court that he had  expected to kill Barron because of his bad behavior.  E.A. Lovett, son of the town's namesake, testified that he knew that Barron had already purchased a gun to kill another man in town.

 Marshall Kight told the magistrates that Barron was drinking and was prepared for trouble.  Kight restated prior accounts that the mayor called upon Barron repeatedly to submit to arrest.

 At the end of his case, Mayor Thompson made an unsworn statement that outlined his long history of problems with Barron.  Thompson recalled that he had attempted to arrest Barron before, but the two had become friends.   State witnesses returned to the stand in order to rebut the damaging testimony of many well-respected Lovettites.  After grand speeches by Armistead and Adams, the court recessed for supper until 7 o'clock.

 T.L. Griner rose to speak in favor of the defendant.  Griner attacked the "abandoned heart" and "wreckless character" of the deceased.  The defense attorney pointed out to the court that there are always a crowd of bullies who want to overthrow order.  In view of all the threats made against his client by the deceased, Griner argued that Barron met his death in a justifiable act of self defense.

 Cooper asked the court to disregard Barron's character and look to whether or not his actions deserved being shot.  He postulated that if Thompson had let Marshal Kight take the prisoner to jail, that the whole incident could have been avoided.

 Just before the midnight hour, after a short deliberation, Magistrates Smith and Wolfe returned to the crowded dimly lit courtroom and announced their ruling attributing the death of L.G. Barron as a justifiable case of self-defense or more aptly, a case of some men just need killing.

 Post Script: Nathaniel Thompson returned to his native home of Washington County, where he died on May 1, 1952 at the age of eighty-five.
