Malawi’s Minister of lands, housing and urban development Atupele Muluzi has warned that buildings in cities and towns which are in protected areas will be demolished.
The minister said high urbanization is the main reason why people have built houses in protected areas such as on river banks and hills.
”It’s a big challenge in the country as Malawi is one of the high urbanization countries and it is causing people to encroach in protected areas especially in major cities,” said Muluzi.
He further said that the ministry together with the country’s city councils is planning to relocate people staying in protected areas.
“We have noticed that there is a lot of illegal encroachment especially in urban areas and our ministry together with city councils will relocate people who are staying in illegal areas,” he said.
In Malawi, population growth in areas defined as urban areas is estimated at 5.2 percent per year.
According to a United Nations Center of Human Settlement (UNCHS) study of Blantyre and some trading centres in northern and central regions, urban areas in Malawi are becoming populated and noisy due to rapid urbanization.

I read celebrity fashion blogs. SO SUE ME. We all have our thing, okay? Anyway, for the most part, celebrities wear Givenchy dresses and carry Marc Jacobs handbags and the bloggers, I imagine, get kind of bored covering Givenchy and Marc Jacobs. So imagine their delight when Katy Perry stepped out in public one day wearing a pizza onesie.
Now imagine the delight of Jeremiah Robison, founder of Beloved Shirts, when Katy Perry’s assistant emailed and explained that Katy Perry loved the pizza onesie she saw on the Beloved Shirts website and was wondering if she could get an order expedited. Robison overnighted the onesie for free and it was a few days later that the blogosphere exploded with images of KP as a pepperoni pizza, a big moment for Robison and his company.
Robison had another big moment on March 11 of this year when he appeared on Shark Tank. “I was very relieved with how they portrayed the company,” Robison says, explaining that while the Q&A lasted an hour, the segment was edited down to just a few minutes. “I feel like I survived the tank for sure,” Robison says. His strategy was to be extra nice to the sharks so they would be nice in return. “Don’t try to be too cocky about the business or the brand,” Robison advises.
Ultimately, Robison walked out of the tank without a deal, but not because a deal wasn’t offered. Robison told the sharks he was seeking $175,00 in exchange for a 5% stake in the company. Daymond offered $175,000 for a 25% stake in the company, and while Robison was willing to go as high as 15% equity, Daymond wouldn’t budge. “I’m glad I didn’t take the deal. I didn’t think it was fair,” Robison says. And he didn’t come away from the experience empty handed. Shark Lori advised him to hone in on top-selling items that could be shipped immediately, something Robison has since done.
Robison and his team have also made progress with their manufacturer and significantly reduced their turn around time. The company’s goal is to boost their conversion rate as currently, as Robison explained to the sharks, only 1% of traffic turns into a buyer. “If we change that to 2% it doubles our sales,” he says. So the focus now is optimizing the website with an emphasis on mobile.
The journey to Katy Perry’s closet and the tank full of sharks started two-and-a-half years ago when Robison ordered custom soccer jerseys that he hoped would intimidate opposing teams. He was blown away when the ordered product arrived and he decided to order more samples. He then posted the samples on his Instagram account and watched the response explode. “I knew I should start a business,” Robison says. So he spent $300 and started taking orders.
In the beginning Robison did the designs himself, then he hired a few royalty-based artists, and now he has a full-time in-house designer in California. His brand continues to work with Katy Perry, who collaborated on a custom collection, as well as Miley Cyrus and the Kardashians, who bring a lot of attention from bloggers and consumers alike to Beloved Shirts apparel. “We’re selling an experience,” Robison says, and it’s an experience people are buying.
Robison recently bought a building in downtown Provo and plans to build a store. “We’re so in love with downtown Provo and the startup scene,” he says. As for me, my love lies with this North Korea Hoodie.

2013: Peter Gladwin whose life nearly ended in tragedy, told his story at at an FGB inspirational Dinner evening in Norwich at the Brook Hotel, Bowthorpe, on Friday, July 12.
“Peter’s story is one of the most compelling messages of hope you will ever hear – an amazing story of triumph over adversity,” says the leader of a UK Christian men’s ministry.
As a baby, Peter was seriously burned in a house fire when less than a year old; then, at 15, he was stabbed in a gang fight; he became a hit-and-run victim at 24 and faced parental suicide at 27.
Despite Peter’s own addictive lifestyle, his life was remarkably turned around at the age of 30 after he was led to faith in Christ by his sister, Annette, as she talked with Peter on the phone.

Introduction: Henry Morris Ash, whose pencil sketches of cable-laying voyages on the Siemens Brothers’ ship CS Faraday are shown here, was born in London on December 10th, 1850, the seventh of eight children of Sargeant Ash, a dentist, and his wife Mary Ann Ash. He was baptised on 2 March 1851. The family lived at 70 Harmood St, Camden Town, London NW1. While there is no detailed account of his career, snapshots of Henry Ash’s life for the next 50 years may be obtained from census, marriage and copyright records, and from ships’ crew lists.
The census records show that in 1871, at the age of 20, Ash was occupied as a Draughtsman, still living at home with his mother and two siblings. By this time the family had moved to 55 Willes Rd, London NW5, and Mary Ann Ash was listed as Head of Household, Sargeant Ash evidently having died sometime after the 1861 census. In late 1877 Henry married Mary Ann Aust, and the couple moved into the house next door to Ash’s mother at 53 Willes Rd, which is given as their residence in the 1881 census.
from a CS Faraday Crew Agreement for 1884.

The first known group of Ash’s sketches was made in 1879 on CS Faraday (1) , the purpose-built cable laying ship owned and operated by Siemens Brothers of London. The dates of other sketches show that he also sailed on the Faraday in 1881, 1882, 1884, 1889, 1893, 1894, and 1900. See the list of expeditions below, which includes links to page showing all of the sketches and descriptions of the events of each lay, and also the detailed index to the sketches..
In the 1881 census Henry’s occupation was given as Draughtsman and Designer; on the Faraday crew agreement for the 1884 Mackay-Bennett cable voyage he was listed as Engr. General Assistant.
In the 1891 census he was listed as still residing at 53 Willes Rd in London, now a Draughtsman and Hydrographer, but his mother no longer lived next door, having moved to Islington.
In the 1901 census, Henry’s occupation was given as Hydrographer to Submarine Cable Engineer, and he and his wife had moved to Brighton on the south coast of England, residing at 50 Queens Park Terrace.
The 1911 census (the last one open for public research at the present time) has Henry and Mary Ann still at the same address. At age 60 he described himself as a Retired Hydrographer.
The last residence record for Henry Ash is in Kelly's Directory for 1918, at the same address in Brighton.
No children of Henry and Mary Ann Ash are shown in any of the public records, and no details of his life after 1918 have yet been discovered. Henry Ash died in Brighton at the age of 94 on 10 February 1945, still at Celtic Lodge, 50 Queens Park Terrace, where he had lived since at least 1901. His will was probated at Lewes on 30 May 1945 to Claudius William Ash stores superintendent and Emmie Sarah Ash spinster. Effects £29,729 12s 11d.
If any site visitor has further information on Henry Ash or his family, please contact me.
As Henry Ash’s profession called for precise surveying and drawing skills, it is perhaps not surprising that he was also a talented artist. His first known pencil sketches date from 1879, when he was 28 years old, and were made on the CS Faraday (1) voyage to lay the French Atlantic cable from Brest, France, to St. Pierre, near Newfoundland. During his service on Faraday between 1879 and 1900 he produced many pencil sketches at sea and on land, illustrating the places and events of each voyage.
Two groups of Ash’s sketches came to auction in 2005. One lot, sold in April at Christie’s in London (a substantial portion of the lot listed as being sold again in September), included pencil sketches of scenes from CS Faraday’s seven Atlantic Cable expeditions between 1879 and 1900. 86 of these sketches are now in the collection of the Library and Archives Canada; more information may be found in the Archives catalog entry.
Library and Archives Canada had been unsuccessful in acquiring this collection when it was made available at Michael Bowman's Antique and Fine Art Sale, South Devon, in October 2004. One year later, the same group of works, minus 19 drawings (most likely views of the Azores and Ireland) was again put up for sale at Christie's, South Kensington, and LAC had the winning bid. The collection was acquired by Library and Archives Canada in September 2005.
Between the two sales at Christie's, another auction at Bowman's in June 2005 had six further lots of drawings by Ash. One group of 11 sketches was acquired by the Atlantic Cable website, and includes drawings made during the Atlantic Cable expeditions of 1879 and 1884, and the 1889 Canso, Nova Scotia - New York cable voyage. The sketches in this group, shown on these pages in chronological order together with the Library and Archives Canada images, vary in size from 7½" x 4½" to 6¾" x 3¼". This group also includes an unusual miniature watercolour of the Faraday by Henry Ash.
Henry Ash was evidently a prolific artist both at work and at home, as four of the other lots in the June 2005 sale had a total of 117 of his countryside sketches, all scenes of the south of England. These are dated in the years between the Faraday’s cable voyages, and include views of Kent, Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Hampshire, and Sussex. Some of the views of the countryside around Hastings, dating from 1880 and 1888 are included here for reference.
Based on some of his 1884 cable expedition sketches, Henry Ash created a coloured lithograph which was published by Maclure & Co. of London. The date is unknown, but presumably some time during 1885. A copy of the lithograph is in the collection of the National Maritime Museum, London, object ID PAH0368.
In 1894 Ash registered at Stationers' Hall in London the copyright on a small book titled “Souvenir of the 1894 Mackay Bennett Atlantic Cable, Laid by Messrs. Siemens Brothers Co. for the Commercial Cable Company”. The registration certificate and a cover for this book are in the collection of Library and Archives Canada. From the format of the cover, the book was most likely a collection of his sketches. The registration certificate notes that: "One copy of each publication should be forwarded forthwith to the British Museum; and four copies delivered here for the Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Dublin Libraries". However, the book is not listed in the catalogues of any of those institutions.
A consolidated catalogue of all 97 of Henry Ash’s cable-related sketches,with dates, titles, and notes, may be viewed here.

This painting measures only 3" x 1½"
Built 1874 by C. Mitchell & Company Ltd., Newcastle on Tyne.
Purpose-built for Siemens Brothers, incorporating many of William Siemens' ideas, as he had found chartered vessels totally unsuitable for cable laying. Two of these ideas were twin screws and a bow rudder; another was the swivelling bow and stern sheaves which prevented the cable from riding up the side of the sheave when ship and cable were not in a straight line. The two funnels were placed side by side and the bow and stern were of similar design, giving the vessel a unique appearance.
In 50 years of cable work Faraday laid a total of 50,000 nm. The ship was sold in 1924 for scrap but the inch-thick plates defeated the breakers and so Faraday became a coal hulk, named Analcoal, at Algiers for the Anglo-Algiers Coaling Company. 1931 saw the hulk moved to Gibraltar, still storing coal. In 1941 the vessel became a Naval store ship at Sierra Leone. Towed back to England in 1950, she ended her days at a South Wales breaker’s yard.

In the summer of 2012, the Centre of Environmental Health Equity (CEHE) convened a workshop in Vancouver on children’s health equity in collaboration with CPCHE. The one-week session, supported by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), brought together 20 participants from the worlds of health research, health promotion and health policy for training in equity-focused knowledge translation.
“It’s a different kind of philosophy for doing research that takes the researcher out of the ivory tower, out of the hierarchy, so that rather than thinking that my research will inform someone else’s knowledge, it’s really another way altogether, their knowledge informs the research we do together,” explains Scott Venners, an epidemiologist from Simon Fraser University, who was one of the participants.
Scott’s research investigates the effects of environmental pollution on chronic disease, with a particular focus on issues of health and equity across different populations in Canada.
Scott’s research looks at all age groups, but children are of particular concern.
“That may be the period of our lives when we’re most susceptible to environmental pollutants because there are so many things happening,” says Scott. “Cells are dividing, cells are differentiating, they’re growing, they’re creating all these new cells. There’s a lot of hormonal signalling going on, and sometimes environmental pollutants can look like estrogen to our body, or androgen, causing our bodies to get the signal wrong, to miscue,” he says.
The Knowledge Leaders trainees formed small sub-groups that would apply the equity-focused knowledge translation approach in pilot projects in the months following the workshop. Scott’s team is working with the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) to bring together First Nations communities and different kinds of researchers, health promoters, and policy people to develop a tool to assess children’s environmental health effects resulting from mining and hydro development in their communities.
Scott is also bringing CPCHE’s work into his classroom back at Simon Fraser University. CPCHE recently hosted a webinar series on the links between early environmental exposures and chronic disease, including a session on the suspected role of endocrine disrupting chemicals in obesity, metabolic syndrome and related health concerns. Scott set up a large projection screen so his masters students and faculty members could watch it together and participate.

As your business changes, grows and adapts, here’s 3 key tips in assessing what to continue doing and what you might change to keep up with the times.
A few days ago, I was on a bus when a young girl jumped on, I imagine she was in her mid 20's. Out came her smartphone and she pointed it towards a QR code on the wall. That was her paying for her bus fare. There was no pause in the music she was listening to and no required interaction with the bus driver, or anyone else. It was very task-led and transactional.
I began thinking more and more about how we go through our days using technology and the amazing advancements it brings us. Paper mail that used to travel for weeks over land and sea now arrives within seconds via our handheld devices. And who doesn't love ‘Amazon Prime’, where I've just ordered a new phone charger that'll arrive before I get home tonight?
Technology is definitely convenient, but is it always good for us?
Does it pull us away from our daily, relationship-building moments? Do our people have the social skills that they used to? It worries me that in years to come we might have business leaders who can create apps from the backseat of their driverless cars but they won't be able to have a meaningful conversation with someone. Leaders who struggle to inspire a workforce around their vision or to communicate an effective business strategy.
If I was hiring in years to come, I'd want employees who could operate and reinvent technology so we could execute processes efficiently, but not at the detriment of the people and communication skills needed to lead. It takes a lot more than the press of a 'send' button to ensure that employees feel valued and engaged to perform at their best.
1 - The workplace environment should promote collaboration between employees, sometimes this can be virtually but make sure that sometimes your people are in the same room! It is essential to invest in team relationships, build trust and create safe environments where people will take risks, make mistakes and learn. After all, it is through these interactions as well as any management edict that the culture of your business is created.
2 - We know there is a direct conflict between focusing on creating innovation vs. internal processes and it can be a challenge to focus on achievement while balancing employee well-being. However, it is important to pay equal attention so that none of these key areas within the organisation are neglected.
3 - Does your organisation promote a fixed or growth mindset? If you rely too heavily on millennials to communicate using technology, they could ultimately lose the ability to build trusting relationships, collaborate with colleagues and manage conflict effectively. Promoting a growth mindset within the organisation can encourage both new and old employees to collaborate effectively, to ensure the organisation's goals are met in the most effective way.
It is important to use the technological developments to our own advantage, but at the same time to continue developing effective interpersonal skills required to build successful working relationships.
These are just a few tips that could help you strike the perfect technological balance. I’d be interested to know what tips your organisation uses to promote a healthy balance?

I've mentioned this many times before but one of the reasons I stay signed up to Glossybox is that every once in a while you get sent something that you absolutely fall in love with. I have to admit that it's been a while since this happened but in my June 2016 box I was sent the Emite lip and cheek stain and I did most definitely fall in love with it.
As soon as I opened my Glossybox it was the first thing I was drawn to because the colour is just gorgeous and definitely something I would go for when buying myself.
I think I may be in love. The colour is really light and sheer and can easily be built up to a brighter shade. The colour is super natural and I honestly haven't stopped wearing it since opening my Glossybox.
The downside is that for a "stain" it's very easy to remove. After just a few hours and a couple sips of Vimto and it was barely visible on my lips! Sorry, that's not correct. It actually left colour along the outline of my lip so it gave the appearance that I had applied a pink lip liner and forgot to fill the rest of my lips in. Not a good look!
Overall I'm a little disappointed about it's lasting power as it's such a gorgeous colour and I love the way it looks. Because of this I think it's a bit of a rip off for nearly £13 and would definitely recommend buying something half the price and that lasts double the time!

The Beechwood Gastropub in Vanier is to close at the end of August, with its much-respected young chef-owner Harriet Clunie citing insufficient revenue and her exhaustion as two of several reasons for the closure.
The closure means that Clunie has had to withdraw from competition this fall at the Ottawa edition of Canada’s Great Kitchen Party, the event formerly known as Gold Medal Plates, after being invited to take part for the first time in the prestigious annual event.
“I had to back out. That was a really hard decision,” said Clunie, who in past years had assisted other chef-competitors at the annual culinary fundraiser for Canada’s Olympians.
Chef Kris Kshonze from Soif Bar a Vin has replaced Clunie in the competition, to be held Oct. 11 at the Shaw Centre.
A young veteran of Ottawa’s restaurant scene, Clunie cooked at Navarra, Das Lokal and the Elmdale Oyster House and Tavern before taking over the Beechwood Gastropub’s kitchen in February 2016. The restaurant was opened in late 2014 by restaurateur André Cloutier. In March 2017, Cloutier sold the business and Clunie became an 80-per-cent owner.
But she added that, as a first-time business owner, she likely made a batch of mistakes. When she took over, she should have closed the restaurant for a month to become better organized, she said. She should have been more active in promoting her restaurant on social media, she added.
The gastropub won over some “wonderful regulars, but it just wasn’t quite enough,” Clunie said. She even put her business up for sale last December, but later took it off the market when she grew more optimistic. In late April, it was announced that Clunie would compete in the Ottawa edition of Canada’s Great Kitchen Party.
However, this spring and summer did not bring the boost in business that Clunie had hoped for. Great weather drew people to cottages instead of dining rooms, she said. People are opting to use restaurant delivery services rather than dine out, she added. Rising food costs and Ontario’s increased minimum wage contributed further pressures. “I’m not alone in saying this has really been a hard year,” Clunie said.
There will be no farewell dinner to mark the restaurant’s closing, Clunie said. However, whatever food is left will be donated to Ottawa-area shelters.
Clunie remains proud of the food that the restaurant turned out, and was pleased to have participated in fundraising events. “We’ve done a lot of good,” she said.

The practice of accepting large sums of money for speaking to business or special interest groups, especially when viewed as compromising the objectivity of journalists.
(BUK.ray.kur) n. A journalist who uses their connections and knowledge to earn a significant amount of money outside of their regular job. —buckraking, n.
Any history of Washington journalism would surely mark June 1972 as the beginning of a new chapter. That was when Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein started investigating a peculiar burglary at Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate. Thus began the era of the Washington muckraker. Woodward and Bernstein became famous, journalism became glamorous, and “investigative units” proliferated at newspapers and television stations across the country.
The same history might mark February 1985 as the start of the next era. That was when Patrick J. Buchanan went to work at the White House and his financial disclosure statement revealed, to widespread astonishment and envy, that he had made $ 400,000 as a journalist in 1984. This included $ 60,000 for his syndicated column, $ 25,000 for his weekly appearance on “The McLaughlin Group,” $ 94,000 for Cable News Network’s “Crossfire,” $ 81,000 for a radio show, and more than $ 135,000 for 37 speeches. Welcome to the era of the buckraker.
When searching for the earliest use of this blend of buck (slang for a dollar; 1856) and muckraker (someone who exposes wrongdoing by prominent people; 1906), I found a number of citations from early January, 1986. However, they were all commenting on a piece by Jacob Weisberg that was to appear in the January 27 issue of The New Republic, so I’m crediting that article with the first use.
Jacob Weisberg (born 1964) is an American political journalist, serving as editor-in-chief of Slate Group, a division of The Washington Post Company, and a columnist for the Financial Times. He served as the editor of Slate magazine for six years, until stepping down in June 2008. He is the son of Lois Weisberg, a Chicago social activist and connector celebrated in Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point. Weisberg’s father, Bernard Weisberg, was a prominent Chicago lawyer and, later, judge. His parents were introduced at a cocktail party by novelist Ralph Ellison.
Weisberg is a frequent commentator on National Public Radio and also writes a weekly column for the Financial Times. He previously worked for The New Republic in Washington, D.C., was a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. Early in his career, he worked for Newsweek in the London and Washington bureaus. Weisberg has also worked as a freelance journalist for numerous publications.
If anything, journalistic credibility has worsened because buckrakers are replacing muckrakers.
BUCKRAKER (SL) noun - a former high government official, either elected or appointed, who “cashes in” on his government experience and connections with a high paying job as a business consultant or lobbyist.
After checking through several examples, it does seem to me that the present usage has evolved somewhat to include a wider net then the above definitions, which originally referred mainly to journalists speaking to business groups (see 1986 and 1987 quotes below).
BUCKRAKING verb: A public figure or organization (politician, media figure, . . . government, group . . .) either cashing in on their fame/prominence/celebrity/stature and earning significant sums of money (legally and ethically or unethically; illegally) outside of their regular job/function (or former one – think Bill Clinton, etc.), or to advancing a self-serving private agenda.
Steele is representative of a fascinating but little noted development on the right: the rise of buckrakers who are exploiting the party’s anarchic confusion and divisions to cash in for their own private gain.

The Edmund Pettus Bridge carries U.S. Route 80 Business (US 80 Bus.) across the Alabama River in Selma, Alabama. Built in 1940, it is named after Edmund Winston Pettus, a former Confederate brigadier general, Democratic U.S. Senator from Alabama. The bridge is a steel through arch bridge with a central span of 250 feet (76 m). Nine large concrete arches support the bridge and roadway on the east side.
The Edmund Pettus Bridge was the site of the conflict of Bloody Sunday on March 7, 1965, when armed police attacked and brutally beat Civil Rights Movement demonstrators with horses, billy clubs, and tear gas as they were attempting to march to the state capital, Montgomery. The marchers crossed the bridge again on March 21 and successfully walked to the Capitol building.
The bridge was declared a National Historic Landmark on March 11, 2013.
The bridge carries four lanes of US Route 80 over the Alabama River, from Selma on the west side, to points east. The bridge has a total of 11 spans. It has 10 smaller concrete spans, while the main span in the center, over the river, is made of steel. Because Selma is built on a bluff over the river, the west side of the bridge is higher than the east side. The center of the bridge is 100 ft (30 m) over the river. In 2011, the bridge was listed as functionally obsolete, meaning that it does not meet current design standards for its current traffic load.
The bridge is named after Edmund Winston Pettus, who was born in Limestone County, Alabama, to John Pettus and Alice Taylor Winston in 1821. He graduated from a public high school and attended Clinton College. He then went on to Tuscumbia, Alabama, to study law and was admitted into the state's bar association in 1842. In 1844, he was elected to serve in the seventh Judicial Circuit of Alabama as a solicitor. From 1847-1849, he served as a lieutenant with the Alabama Volunteers during the Mexican–American War. From 1854, he served as a judge in the seventh Judicial Circuit of Alabama, until resigning in 1858. After resigning as judge, he went back to Selma, Alabama, where he again practiced law. Following the outbreak of the American Civil War, he served with the 20th Regiment Alabama Infantry, eventually attaining the rank of brigadier general in 1863 and being assigned a command in the Army of Tennessee. Following the war, he resumed his law practice in Selma. At that time, he also led the Alabama Ku Klux Klan. He was residing in Selma when he was elected as a Democratic United States Senator from Alabama in 1897 and 1903. He died in 1907. Edmund's brother, John Pettus, was a Mississippi politician.
Because of Pettus's role in supporting slavery and racism, a movement is aiming to rename the bridge. With the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in 2015, a group of college students and others organized a campaign to rename the bridge. Changing the name would require approval from the State of Alabama. Proponents of changing the name have not offered a specific name as an alternative. An earlier attempt to change the name in 2010 failed. Some Selma residents are opposed, believing that changing the name will do nothing to improve race relations in the country.
An earlier bridge was built at the same location in 1885 to carry mule loads of cotton. It was a two-lane wooden swing bridge that had to be opened by hand. The Edmund Pettus Bridge was designed by Selma native Henson Stephenson and opened to traffic in 1940.
In 1965, voting rights for African Americans were a contentious issue. In Selma, voting rolls were 99% White and 1% African American, while the 1960 Census found that the population of Alabama was 30% nonwhite . In February 1965, state troopers and locals in Marion, Alabama, started an armed confrontation with some 400 African-American unarmed demonstrators. Jimmie Lee Jackson was shot in the stomach, and he died eight days later. As word spread, the case alarmed civil rights activists, including Martin Luther King, Jr. and SCLCs Director of Direct Action James Bevel. Director Bevel strategized a plan for a peaceful march from Selma to the Alabama capitol building in Montgomery, which first required crossing the Pettus bridge leading out of Selma and onto the state highway. Many acts like this one involved killings, and many more involved economic and health problems.
On March 7, 1965, armed police attacked the unarmed peaceful civil rights demonstrators attempting to march to the state capital of Montgomery in an incident that became known as Bloody Sunday. Because of the design of the bridge, the protesters were unable to see the police officers on the east side of the bridge until after they had reached the top of the bridge. The protesters first saw the police while at the center of the bridge, 100 feet above the Alabama River. Upon seeing them, protester Hosea Williams asked his fellow protester John Lewis if he knew how to swim. Despite the danger ahead, the protesters bravely continued marching. They were then attacked and brutally beaten by police and the state troopers on the other side.
Televised images of the attack presented Americans and international audiences with horrifying images of marchers left bloodied and severely injured, and roused support for the Selma Voting Rights Movement. Amelia Boynton, who had helped organize the march as well as participated in it, was beaten unconscious. A photograph of her lying on Edmund Pettus Bridge appeared on the front page of newspapers and news magazines around the world. In all, 17 marchers were hospitalized and 50 were treated for lesser injuries; the day soon became known as "Bloody Sunday" within the African-American community.
Since 1965, many marches have commemorated the events of Bloody Sunday. On its 30th anniversary, Rep. John Lewis, former president of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and a prominent activist during the Selma to Montgomery marches, said, "It's gratifying to come back and see the changes that have occurred; to see the number of registered voters and the number of Black elected officials in the state of Alabama to be able to walk with other members of Congress that are African Americans."
On the 40th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, over 10,000 people, including Lewis, again marched across Edmund Pettus Bridge. Also, in 1996, the Olympic torch made its way across the bridge with its carrier, Andrew Young, along with many public officials, to symbolize how far the South has come. When Young spoke at the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church as part of the torch ceremony, he said, "We couldn't have gone to Atlanta with the Olympic Games if we hadn't come through Selma a long time ago."
In March 2015, on the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, U.S. President Barack Obama, the first African-American U.S. president, delivered a speech at the foot of the bridge and then, along with other U.S. political figures such as former U.S. President George W. Bush and Representative John Lewis and Civil Rights Movement activists such as Amelia Boynton Robinson (at Obama's side in a wheelchair), led a march across the bridge. An estimated 40,000 people attended to commemorate the 1965 march, and to reflect on and speak about its impact on history and continuing efforts to address and improve U.S. civil rights.
Bloody Sunday and the events of the Selma to Montgomery marches were re-enacted on the bridge and depicted in the films Selma, Lord, Selma (1999) and Selma (2014).
At the 2015 Academy Awards singer/songwriters Common and John Legend performed their Academy Award-winning song "Glory", which is featured in the film Selma, on a stage-sized replica of the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Marilyn Miller's book, The Bridge at Selma (Turning Points in American History) (1989), describes the repercussions of the events of March 7, 1965, on Edmund Pettus Bridge.
In the March trilogy (2013-2016), the graphic novel autobiography of John Lewis, Lewis and Martin Luther King's trepidation at crossing of the bridge, and the ensuing confrontation with state troopers, bookend the story as a framing sequence seen in the beginning of Book One and near the end of Book Three.

Over the past half-decade, the Old Webster district of Webster Groves has undergone something of a renaissance, culinarily speaking. It's now fair to say the district has come into its own as a restaurant neighborhood and even, in some instances, a restaurant destination. In this post we highlight some of Gut Check's go-to dining spots in Old Webster.
Robust (227 West Lockwood Avenue, Webster Groves; 314-963-0033) When Robust opened in mid-2007 on the western fringe of Webster's Lockwood business district, it was an immediate hit. In part, this was due to the fact that Webster isn't exactly brimming with wine bars (or bars of any kind, for that matter). More to the point, owner Stanley Browne had invested his venture with every ounce of his wine passion and knowledge, and it showed. A half-dozen years later, Robust remains a Webster favorite, and a destination for wine lovers across the metro area. Browne's wine list is wide and deep, and imaginatively organized by flavor profile rather than geographical region. The kitchen's small-plate offerings are multifarious, tasty and well matched to the wine list. Prices are very reasonable -- extraordinarily so, in the context of St. Louis restaurateur's penchant for wine markups -- and if you like what you drink, you can buy a bottle (or three, or four) to take home with you.
Provalo Deli (229 West Lockwood Avenue, Webster Groves; 314-962-5500) Provalo is an unpretentious sandwich shop at the western terminus of the Old Webster shopping district. It's several steps up from your run-of-the-mill national sammy chain, in that it's locally owned and operated -- by the same folks who own Yo My Goodness, the frozen-yogurt dispensary next door. The resulting synergy, coupled with the fact that there's no branch of any run-of-the-mill national sammy chain in the immediate vicinity, make it (and YoMy, as it's known among locals) a popular hangout for Webster's teen and tween set. Which is to say it's all good, from the sandwiches to the salads to the wraps, soup of the day and personal-size pizzas. The name's Italian for "try it." So what are you waiting for?

Next time you come to a course with Allens Training Sunshine Coast at our Birtinya Training Centre, check out our range of merchandise for sale.
One of the most popular items for purchase is the conforming bandage for use when applying the Pressure Immobilisation Technique (PIT). The PIT is used for first aid treatment for severe envenomation resulting from snake bite and funnel web spider bite.
In our HLTAID003 Provide first Aid training, Allens Training Sunshine Coast demonstrates first aid treatment for snake bite or funnel web spider bite using a PIT bandage marked with indicators that show when the bandage has been applied with the correct tension.
In its unstretched state, the marks on the bandage appear as rectangles.
However, in its stretched state, and when applied with the correct tension, the marks appear as squares.
· Immobilisation – keep the person still and as calm as possible to slow the spread of the venom.
· Pressure – apply firm pressure on the bite. For bites on limbs, apply pressure bandages, and splint the limb to restrict movement; make the bite site on the bandage (this helps the paramedics and doctors). If the bite is not on a limb, apply firm direct pressure on the bite site.
· If cardiac arrest occurs, provide cardio pulmonary resuscitation.
· Record as much information as you can – time of the bite, description of the snake, time the bandage was applied.
Allens Training Sunshine Coast also has snake bite first aid kits for sale in our Birtinya Training Centre. The kits contain a premium conforming bandage with indicators (as previously described), a second conforming bandage, and a triangular bandage, all packaged in a box printed with illustrated instructions on how to apply the bandages for PIT first aid treatment. The kits are attractively priced at $20.00 and are a great resource to buy, put in your car or with the rest of your first aid supplies, and hopefully never have to use.
Please remember to never try and pick up or move a snake.
Allens Training first aid and CPR courses can be booked by calling our Sunshine Coast office on 5438 8888 or by booking online via our secure website https://www.allensfirstaid.com.au/.

“My name is Nicholas and I’m 29 years old. My lovely seven-year-old daughter Colette and I sponsor Diala, a little girl from Indonesia.
Last fall I ran into somebody with a Save the Children shirt on in a mall in California and I remember thinking, I should stop and see what this is all about. I had thought about sponsoring before but never took the plunge. After talking to the Save the Children employee, I decided to use the opportunity to teach my daughter about the world.
When I found out that we were sponsoring Diala, I was excited because she was from a whole new place. I didn’t know much about Indonesia myself, so Colette and I spent time learning about Diala’s country together. I really wanted her to understand that on the complete opposite side of the earth, there's a little girl who is just about the same age as her, who is doing the same things as her, like going to school and learning in her classroom.
I sponsor because I want to show the world that anybody can help, even if it’s just helping somebody across the street. It doesn’t take that much to help, and if I start now and I teach my daughter while she’s young, she's going to understand that it’s really easy to help make the world better.

It's the end of an era. Toys 'R' Us is waving the white flag. Voluntary Administrators were called into Toys R Us Australia on 21 May 2018 after the collapse of their overseas offerings in the UK and US.
Administrators McGrathNicol have confirmed that all 44 stores will be closed on or around the weekend of August 4-5, with discounts between 50 and 70 per cent being offered on all remaining products. Get in there quick and snare a bargain!

The following remarks were presented by Sam Pambrun as part of the 150th Anniversary Observances of the Battle of Frenchtown. They occurred at Frenchtown Hall, Lowden, Washington on December 10, 2005.
This is a famous place.
Frenchtown is the site of the last battle between whites and Indians in the Walla Walla Valley as well as other significant historic events.
–Naturalists: David Douglas, John Kirk Townsend, and Thomas Nuttall.
This place has weathered the Missoula Floods and the ash of Mounts Mazama and St. Helens.
In 1923 the community of Walla Walla produced and presented a pageant copyrighted by Stephen B. L. Penrose. The play, entitled “How the West was Won,” was presented on June 6 & 7, 1923. My grandfather, Sam Pambrun, played the role of his grandfather, Hudson Bay Company Chief Trader Pierre Chrysologue Pambrun in this 1923 pageant. I planned to use the script to prepare for my remarks here.
However, after studying the history of the Walla Walla Valley presented in the 1923 pageant, I think I’d rather stick a little closer to the truth than what I found in Penrose’s play. What I want to talk about didn’t make it into the 1923 Walla Walla Pageant. I want to talk about those who came to this Valley to live with the aboriginal inhabitants – – – not as conquerors, but as friends and family.
The impetus for the settlement of the Walla Walla Valley began 190 years ago in a community over a thousand miles away – at the Red River settlement, now the great city of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In 1816 the struggle between the Northwest and Hudson’s Bay Companies reached the boiling point at “Seven Oaks,” a pastoral place beside the Red River near the Hudson’s Bay Company Fort Douglas.
The reaction to this “massacre” was immediate. Besides the ensuing armed conflicts and court cases, the impact of it reached the Oregon Country via the 100-day express. When those first colonists in Oregon, the men of the Northwest Company stationed at Fort George (Astoria, Oregon) heard of the Seven Oaks Massacre, some abandoned their posts and hurried to Red River to check on their families.
Tom McKay left the year before the massacre in 1815. Donald McKenzie, Louis Napoleon Bonnefant’s relative and several others made a dash across the continent in 1816 upon hearing their families may be in danger.
The Canadian Metís who began settling in the Walla Walla Valley in 1824, recognizing they were “guests” of the Waiilatpu and Wallulapam (Cayuse and Walla Walla) Indians, sought permission to settle there, and in most cases, married into the local tribes.
While the French Canadian Metís generally got along well with their native hosts, other, “white” settlers and traders didn’t do so well. John Clarke, while in the employ of the Astor Company, shortly before its sale to the Northwest Company, hanged an Indian boy who was living with the Palouses while they were camped at Wallula. This event occurred in 1813 and effectively ended Pax Walla Walla.
The Northwest Company began building a post a few miles upriver from the mouth of the Walla Walla in 1816. As a result of Clarke’s indiscretion, a Northwest fur brigade was attacked. The builders of Fort Nez Perce were harassed. The fur traders who had been attending what they called the “Indian Rendezvous” at Wallula every summer since 1811 now found that attending the “Indian Rendezvous” was risky. The Fort Nez Perce stockade was finally completed in 1818, the final work being accomplished under armed guard.
More retired Canadian Metís fur traders continued to settle at Frenchtown and they continued to marry into the Waiilatpu & Wallulapam tribes. The community essentially became a French and Indian village scattered over 50 square miles.
When the Whitmans arrived in 1836 there were over a dozen Metís log cabins surrounding their mission. Although they wrote over 100,000 words during their 11-year stay at Waiilatpu, they never once mentioned their half-breed neighbors in writing.
The Frenchtown Metís prospered, even weathering blame for the Whitman Massacre. By 1847 there were well over 50 Metís families living in the Frenchtown area. Land claims were casual; no surveying, no fences, nothing written, just counsel and agreement with the tribes. Frenchtown residents considered the Indians the governing body of the valley; not the missionaries.
The Walla Walla Treaty Council of 1855 started Frenchtown’s slide into oblivion. The Treaty interpreters were mostly Frenchtown residents, all were Metís and/or had Indian wives. Their empathy for their in-laws did no good in heading off the land rush that followed the Treaty signing by just two weeks. However, the Frenchtown interpreters were somewhat successful in assisting the tribal chiefs in securing the best deal they could. The Walla Walla Treaty, from the perspective of Indian rights, is probably the best of all the Indian Treaties enacted west of the Rocky Mountains.
Descendents of the following 1855 interpreters still live in the area today: William Cameron McKay, A.D. Pambrun, Matthew Dauphin, John Whitford, William Craig, and Patrick McKenzie. Descendents of the natives whose land title was extinguished by the Treaty of 1855 are also still here today.
The death blow to Frenchtown was delivered by Captain George McClellan who rode through the Walla Walla Valley in October of 1855, announcing that the valley was under martial law and only military personnel may stay, everyone else must get out. The Metís questioned this order, seeing no reason why their relatives would do them harm. McClellan persisted, informing the residents of Frenchtown they would be removed by force if they persisted in disobeying US Army orders.
Some of the Frenchtown Metís moved to the Willamette Valley, some joined Narcisse Cornoyer’s “French Canadians,” and mustered into service as the Oregon Mounted Volunteers “Company K.” Some Frenchtown Metís joined their native relatives in the hostilities to come.
The Battle of Walla Walla was fought over terrain on the Touchet and Walla Walla Rivers, ending in a siege in the heart of Frenchtown, between the LaRocque and Tellier cabins. Just prior to the battle, Colonel Kelly’s Oregon Mounted Volunteers captured Peopeomoxmox, the great Walla Walla chief, on the Touchet River. Peo was “detained” when he rode up to the OMV carrying a white flag. He was later tied and executed at the LaRocque cabin the third day of his detention.
In a curious circumstance, it seems that Joseph LaRocque’s wife “Lizette Walla Walla,” was either Peo’s sister or daughter. Why the OMV chose to establish their headquarters at a house where Peo’s sister or daughter lived is a coincidence worth further investigation.
After the Battle of Walla Walla, Frenchtown was never the same. Some of the original settlers moved back to their homes; some were displaced by Americans who filed claims on their land. Some of the Metís families who’d called Frenchtown home scattered to other locations around the Pacific Northwest. A few moved back to Red River.
During the 1860’s, 70’s & 80’s the community continued as a Catholic, French-speaking, French culture, French and Indian society of close knit families – – – despite an influx of white Americans.
In 1887 The Dawes Act was adopted, allowing individual Indians to own land on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Many of the original Metís settlers removed themselves to the Reservation to claim land there. Frenchtown became Lowden, the religion became Protestant, the population became white, the language English, and the culture became Frontier American.
If one studies the community of Frenchtown carefully, one might say that British politics were responsible for its creation, and American politics for its demise. Our task here today is to determine if the place, and the community merits a rebirth, and if so, to take those steps necessary to assure the success of this venture.
Click here for the 1870 Frenchtown census. Note that in column 6, “color”, many residents were initially identified as “H.B.” (presumably meaning “Half-Breed”), then the census taker went back and crossed out H.B. and wrote in either “W” for White or “Ind” for Indian, H.B. apparently not being an available census category.
A Frenchtown cabin map can be found on p. 8 of our Frenchtown Historic Site Master Plan, which is available online.
The History & Artifacts Committee is collecting information on Frenchtown families. Please send any relevant information to co-chairs Judith Fortney and Gerald Reed.

aahhh the month has passed by SO freakin’ quickly, it’s incredible, really. the past two weeks were really exciting in our kitchen, we got to experiment more by our selves with the amazing pantry ingredients, and our instructors gave us more freedom.
The third week finished off with the presentation of each student’s cheese plate. We each had to make two cheeses and accompany them with pickles, chutneys, crackers, and candied fruit or other. Obviously they were vegan cheeses, which some of you may think , How is that possible?, but they DO exist indeed and taste great also, not to mention Cruelty free, full of vitamins from nuts, full of flavor, lactose/dairy free bla bla bla. You basically make vegan cheeses by blending soaked nuts (we used macadamias and cashews) and letting ferment for 1 day by adding probiotics or you can use some other starter. After that you flavor it and make it into the desired shape, and you can also make a rind by putting it back in the dehydrator for another day. I made a “cheddar” cheese and a coriander/cumin one.
The same week we did a local market tour in the morning before class; we met up with our bikes at 7 am and cycled to the market in town, where our thai kitchen helper met us there too. It was great to be able to ask him what was everything. If oly I could have someone like him everywhere I travel!
We saw some great stuff, to say a few: the making of coconut cream/milk, thai donuts, ..
The market visit was great, not only to get to know better the local produce, but also to get inspired for our cheese plates, in fact I got some garlic chives and some thai small eggplants to use on my plate.
The last week was all about our final project: create a three course meal, and execute two or three of the courses, making 2 same dishes of each.
We had time to experiment and organize for our final day, but especially start preparing things that would be ready on time for friday, for example dehydrating or making ice creams etc. (TIME is a VERY BIG component of raw cuisine).
-dessert: lemon-coconut ice cream, berry sauce, mint syrup, oat-almond crumble and dehidrated orange slices and powder.
Friday was both an exciting and anxious day, we were all so pleased to show our dishes, but also nervous that something would go wrong, so happy and proud of this incredible experience but also sad to leave this place and the friednships we’ve created with fellow students and instructors.
Following our dish presentations, the instructors/other people in room tasted our dishes and evaluated them while we were finally relaxing outside. Then came graduation time, where we each recieved our certificate paper for the course, then celebration/tiramisu time.
All the dishes look so delicious and appealing. Very artistically presented, too.

George White, a dialysis patient and nursing home leader, meets with Sen. Napoleon Harris, chairman of the Insurance Committee, to push for legislation to hold dialysis industry accountable.
(March 27th, 2019, Springfield, IL) — George White, a dialysis patient and nursing home leader within our Union, traveled to Springfield to testify in front of the Senate Insurance Committee. Below is his testimony.
My name is George White and I live on the South Side of Chicago.
As a dialysis patient, I would like to thank the Illinois Senate Insurance Committee for the opportunity to testify before you today.
I’m here to offer my strong support for Senate Bill 650 – a bill to limit the dialysis industry’s gross profiteering and to require greater accountability.
My first dialysis treatment was on February 1st, 2016. That date is seared into my memory.
Going through dialysis is utterly exhausting physically, mentally, and emotionally.
In April 2016, I started receiving Social Security Income (SSI) because I could no longer work at the nursing home where I served for over 14-years in the dietary department.
I was earning $11.50 an hour when I was forced to quit working.
In November 2016, I qualified and started receiving a little more financial assistance under Social Security Disability Income, or SSDI.
But getting SSDI meant that I no longer qualified for Medicaid because I was receiving too much financial assistance.
I was $30 over the limit to receive Medicaid if you can believe it.
A social worker suggested that I accept insurance coverage from the American Kidney Fund that would completely cover my dialysis treatments at my Fresenius clinic. All I had to do was say yes and sign up.
The Kidney Fund’s insurance was just limited to my dialysis treatments – any other health issues, such as my heart condition, would be covered through Medicare.
At the time, I had never even heard of the American Kidney Fund. But I was eternally grateful they offered to pay my insurance.
This is the scheme: the American Kidney Fund pays for my insurance to cover my dialysis; then Fresenius bills at a dramatically higher rate than what Medicaid would pay a provider, and Fresenius gets a higher profit.
Now, let me be crystal clear.
I am truly grateful that Fresenius provides dialysis services to me, because I wouldn’t be alive today without their care.
But the question we must ask is this: is the American Kidney Fund an actual charity – or a scheme designed by the major companies, DaVita and Fresenius, to purchase their own profits?
Is the American Kidney Fund serving the public good, or serving the bottom line of these major healthcare corporations by using loopholes to bilk the system and engaging in profiteering?
I believe that healthcare is a fundamental human right.
But what doesn’t make any sense is for healthcare corporations, like DaVita and Fresenius, to exploit the Affordable Care Act — which was designed to extend healthcare to everyone – and then turn the spirit of Obamacare on its head just to make billions of dollars.
When the dialysis industry engages in this rampant profiteering, it forces everyone to pay higher insurance premiums.
Why should one industry, and two main companies, making billions of dollars of revenue, have that kind of power?
In my clinic, once or twice a month, I have to wait a significant amount of time to start my treatment because the workers are short staffed.
And whether it’s the nursing home industry or the dialysis industry — short staffing is caused by companies who are more concerned with maximizing their profits than investing in patients and workers.
As a dialysis patient, I want to see the industry’s record profits in Illinois be invested in expanding greater access to healthcare, making clinics open earlier and close later so that patients have more options.
I also want the industry to pay dialysis clinic workers a decent wage and support education and job training initiatives for dialysis patients to find work and contribute to our communities.
I am able to tolerate my ongoing dialysis treatments because of my strong faith.
When I sit in that chair every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6am in the morning I’m able to pray and reflect on all the good things in my life.
I see my purpose clearly.
I know I must speak out on behalf of patients and workers, advocate for solutions so that more people receive the care we deserve, and demand fairness.
We don’t have to accept false choices between having access to quality and affordable dialysis services – versus permitting the dialysis industry’s scheme to make record profits.
The members of this committee have the power to demand real accountability from the dialysis industry – and I sincerely ask that you use your power and vote for this law.

When there are multiple heirs in a wrongful death case, each relationship between each heir and the decedent must be examined. Each relationship with the decedent is different and it is important that the attorney work with the heir/claimant or claimants to determine the full extent of the loss to each heir/claimant to demonstrate and prove the full deserving compensation under the law. Other expenses, such as funeral and burial expenses are awardable, too. While damages for future economic losses may be fairly clear based on the decedent’s prior support to the individual heir/claimant, thereby allowing extrapolation for economic future losses, damages that are subjective based on the relationship between the heir/claimant require an intensive and intricate examination of the relationship between the heir/claimant and the decedent. Nevertheless, the heir/claimant, through his/her attorney has the burden of proving that claimant’s case. That means the heir/claimant has to establish how close they were to the decedent in the various things in life that composed the relationship and how much it meant to the heir/claimant. Future benefits by the decedent to the heir/claimant – not only economic, but the expectation and the bases for that expectation by the claimant/heir for what would have been the decedent spending quality time, training, tutoring, providing guidance, moral support and the like with the heir/claimant must be taken into account as to each and every claim for each and every heir.
Should Multiple Heirs Hire Separate Attorneys For Pursuing A Wrongful Death Claim?
In many wrongful death cases, only one attorney is required. However, in many other wrongful death cases, there is the need for multiple attorneys, each representing one or more heir/claimant, so that each heir/claimant gets fair and zealous representation without conflict of interest which may arise from the representation of multiple heirs/claimant’s. Having separate attorney may work to maximize and heir/claimant’s claim. For example, where there are several different families of the decedent, where the decedent has several children from multiple marriages or relationships, there will often times be completely different relationships that had existed between each heir and the decedent. Some situations include one heir/claimant being a very close child to the decedent, growing up with the decedent from that child/heir/claimant’s birth to the decedent’s wrongful death. Another child/heir/claimant from another family of the decedent may already be well into adulthood and never had a relationship with the decedent and had no expectations or desire to have a relationship with the decedent. Those are cases where you have two extremes, but they are more common than you may think. In those cases, regardless of the relationship between the heir/claimant in the decedent, money can be a very motivating factor in cases can involve multiple heirs/claimant’s disagreeing vehemently over the value of their cases, especially when there are limited funds from an insurance company or through other means. This will almost certainly require multiple attorneys being involved to avoid any conflict of interest. Moreover, these heirs/claimants may be in separate geographic regions and on that basis alone may end up retaining different attorneys.
On the other hand, with multiple heirs/claimants, in a situation where there are highly limited funds, it may behoove all to hire only one attorney, when an amicable solution can be reached. Also, wherever an amicable agreement can be made among the heirs/claimants, regardless of the amount of funds available through insurance companies or otherwise, one attorney may be able to represent all heirs/claimants. In such case, it is important that an agreement in writing is made between the heirs/claimants acknowledging each heir/claimant’s willingness to be represented by one attorney. Thereafter, there may be reason for any one of those heirs/claimants to decide to obtain a different attorney.
Usually, the statute of limitations for bringing a wrongful death action in court in California is two years from the date of death. For minors-persons under 18 years, it is two years from the date that a minor obtains the age of majority-usually age 18 plus two years; or, the two years can run from when the minor is legally emancipated.
However, there are exceptions, such as when a public entity is involved, which requires a governmental claim to be made against the responsible governmental entity or entities within six months of the date of death. Following that, other statutes apply creating varying deadlines for filing a complaint in court, to preserve the right to continue with the claim/case.
What Is The Typical Timeline For A Wrongful Death Claim To Be Resolved?
There is no timeline for a wrongful death claim to be resolved. In every case you have different circumstances, and based on those circumstances cases can be shorter or longer. For example, if there is a death of a father who has sixteen children and they had varying relationships, the attorney is going to have a lot more work to do in the case will likely require multiple attorneys. These various claimants’ attorneys will assiduously work to determine what insurance or other funds of the wrongdoer(s) can be divided up and who should get what. Sometimes these cases take years, other times they take months, but each case is unique.
Finding fault may be difficult, and blaming it on more than one person, companies or other entities may take more time at a portion fault will certainly take more time for conclusion of the case. The claimant, through the claimant’s attorney, has the burden to prove who is at fault and then attempt to apportion that fault for the wrongful death claim. This may not happen short of a full-blown trial. To get to trial may take years and any party to that trial may appeal the judgment. An appeal can take three years and then the appellate court may send the case back to be retried in whole or part, which can take more years.
Alternatively, wrongful death cases may be settled through mediation, a process which needs to settlement in the majority of cases which go to mediation. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution, where the parties agree to attempt to work out a settlement through the use of a mediator – a person usually has a great deal of legal experience through being a lawyer or a retired judge or justice, in addition to people trained specifically for being mediators. After reading all the claimants’ and defendants’ attorneys’ briefs – written descriptions of the case, including facts, liability, causation and damages, among other items, the mediator discusses the case with the parties either altogether or separately, depending on the parties preferences. The mediator then performs shuttle diplomacy going back and forth between the parties, discussing the relative strengths and weaknesses of each claimant’s claim and the defendants’ defenses and other assertions in response to the claimants’ claims and arguments to establish a footing for taking the case further, so as to allow offers to be made, which usually lead to counteroffers and ultimately, an agreement to settle the case. However, that process can vary widely depending on the case, from just a matter ½ day or a day, multiple days, maybe weeks, or even months, with multiple sessions.
There are other methods of alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration, or an arbitrator, essentially acting as a judge, is agreed upon by all parties, to make a decision as to how to split the proceeds between the claimants. The decision may be binding or nonbinding, depending on the parties’ preference. If binding, the decision is usually final, except in rare cases. If nonbinding, the arbitration decision can be rejected by any party without giving a reason and the case continues towards trial, but may be settled through mutual resolution between the parties and their attorneys or mediation. Other alternative dispute resolution methods are beyond the scope of this article.
What Sets Your Firm Apart In Handling Wrongful Death Cases?
My 29 years’ experience, knowledge, dedication, perseverance, tenacity and empathy representing victims only set me apart from others. I have had numerous wrongful death cases, and am extremely empathic to wrongful death victims. I work hard against insurance companies representing wrongdoers and against the wrongdoers themselves who have committed a wrongful death. I understand the real value of these cases. Throughout this time I have worked and fought vigorously and zealously to maximize monetary compensation for my clients and have successfully done so. I establish close relationships with my clients and my clients have acknowledged that I understand what they are feeling and what their needs are in terms of maximizing their compensation, as well as being available for them to speak with me about a whole host of concerns, thoughts and ideas throughout the entire case. I like to help people and that is why I am in this business and that is why I remain in it.

Naslov: Character Strengths and Well-Being : Are there Gender Differences?
This study investigated possible gender differences in the relationship between character strengths and life satisfaction. Two questionnaires were administered to 818 students (488 females and 330 males), Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (Peterson & Seligman, 2004) and The Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985). Zest, hope and gratitude had the strongest link to life satisfaction. Women and men differed significantly in 10 character strengths, but they did not differ in their life satisfaction. Five highest weighted strengths for women were integrity, kindness, love, gratitude and fairness, while men weighed highest the strengths of integrity, hope, humor, gratitude and curiosity. Significant predictors of life satisfaction are also different. For women, life satisfaction was predicted by zest, gratitude, hope, appreciation of beauty and love, whereas men' life satisfaction was predicted by creativity, perspective, fairness and humor. These findings seem to be partly congruent with gender stereotypes. Life satisfaction entails living in accordance with the strengths especially valued in the culture.

This is the second book in the Hampstead Murders series which kicked off last year with Death In Profile. This time a murder has occurred inside the Burgh House museum and, handily, Detective Sergeant Karen Willis happens to be on the scene with Peter Collins, her psychologist boyfriend. The author has created an intriguing cast of possible suspects and with a neat turn of the plot, another mystery comes to the surface. But could the two deaths be related, even though they happened decades apart? And where does Agatha Christie come in?
Like its predecessor, Miss Christie Regrets is a quick, easy read – Guy Fraser-Sampson certainly knows how to spin a yarn. If I was critical, I would suggest that some of the police procedural elements are a little repetitive and slow the pace down and the psychologist’s Lord Peter Wimsey delusions probably mean that in real life he would be on extended sick leave, but overall, this is a very satisfying contemporary crime novel with echoes of Golden Age detective stories.
You can read my interview with Guy Fraser-Sampson here.
