With such a large number of things occurring in the legitimate business, although it can be very difficult to discover the separation sweet spot. the CEO of UnitedLex, has taken the position and made it known that he is a contrarian in the business. Throwing himself against industry mainstreamers David Wilkins, Richard Susskind and Bill Henderson, Reed's contribute is that he works the expert domain while the other three work as scholastics. Reed says he comprehends what should be possible. The other three must hypothecate, and they fail to understand the situation.
The key distinction that UnitedLex can convey to the table, as per reed, is capital. Law offices are compelled in what they can do on the grounds that they need access to capital. Given their inheritance organization structures over the capital imperative, the law offices aren't situated to do what an upstart like UnitedLex can do.
Shouldn't something be said about "lawful administration" organizations? All things considered, they too are impeded, as per Reed. Lawful administration organizations are in it to profit; "one trap horses" who center around a certain something and not on enhancing the conveyance of lawful administration or the lawful biological system in general.
Unless you change the paradigm — unfortunately, capital and long haul vision are the main things that can really address the subject of the panel — and bring an answer that has long haul solidness financially, mentally, persuasively and have the cash-flow to genuinely observe that through, at that point you're essentially simply pontificating or simply blowing a great deal of smoke. What individuals should center around is extremely understanding that what we're discussing is genuinely genuine, and it will occur in our expert lifetime. We shouldn't discuss things that go past that.
He also said he has never met Reed one-on-one and he's never for or against him in any way, My opinion is that UnitedLex is doing something intriguing, and I know I can leave Susskind, Henderson and Wilkins, to shield themselves. In any case, having thumped around the business for just about years ago and gotten things done as a specialist (notwithstanding different parts), I figured it may put Reed's "contrarian" situating in context. As a contrarian, he is as standard as they get.
UnitedLex and Reed are getting a great deal of consideration at the present time because of "lawful's biggest at any point oversaw benefit exchange: a consent to help the worldwide lawful group of DXC Technology, an aggregate of Computer Sciences Corp. what's more, Hewlett-Packard, with 250 senior-level experts."
Allows begin with a touch of history. Until the last 50% of the twentieth century, the model for corporate legitimate administrations was to outsource them to a law office. The terms used to depict the relationship were extraordinary (no "outsourcing"), yet the impact was the same. Lawful work was given outside to at least one law offices near the customer. The general insight's part (accepting the organization had a general direction and one of the company's accomplices did not have that title) was to deal with the regulatory parts of the course of action. Until the late 1960s and on, these courses of action every now and again were taken care of on different settled charge plans. The billable hour had not arrived.
While UnitedLex's money related plan without a doubt has execution measurements, motivating forces, and other smart courses for the two gatherings to profit by the structure, and the old law office demonstrate had none of those, the fundamental structure is there. The particulars of the courses of action changed after some time, however the thought is just the same old thing new. The "new" thought tagged along in the last 50% of the twentieth century when in-lodging lawful work wound up prominent.
To envision Reed's test that I am a scholarly (I am Adjunct Professor at Michigan State University College of Law and a Member of the LegalRnD Faculty) and don't have the foggiest idea, yet can "pontificate" (Reed's mark), I saw this structure direct when I moved from accomplice at a noteworthy law office to the recently shaped law office for a Fortune 500 company back in the 1990s. We supplanted the model with an advanced law office. I managed it twice more in my parts as general advice at Fortune 1000 companies, the two times supplanting the model with present day law office. I trust that builds up my bona fides, so on with the history lesson.
Mainland Bank moved the greater part of its work to Mayer, Brown and Platt (as it was then called) shaking the legitimate world in the mid 1990s. People groups Energy Corp. did likewise in 2003, moving its legitimate work to McGuireWoods. There have been others. Furthermore, obviously, organizations have done littler scale renditions moving work in only one territory to a law office or oversaw administrations supplier. The reasons fluctuate and the victories were rare. In any case, the thought of combining lawful work with an outside specialist co-op has been around for a long while.
Obviously, UnitedLex isn't the first to structure an oversaw administrations supplier association with an organization. Contenders, for example, Elevate Services likewise have such connections. They go back to a portion of the first moves from outside staffing organizations to "lawful administrations outsourcing" the mainstream name before "oversaw administrations supplier" which now is by all accounts offering approach to "law organization."
"a move in the business to high volumes of littler contracts, matched with the organization's April merger, provoked the arrangement with UnitedLex. He said he felt the legitimate outsourcing supplier could offer the sort of agreement administration innovation that DXC's in-house group expected to stay aware of the expanding requirement for speed around contracting, yet for a much-lessened cost by and large."
Nothing here likens to resistance in the Empire. It recounts the tale of an industry gradually moving far from the law office model to the law organization in addition to law office display. UnitedLex was all around situated to take the following step — a bigger arrangement. Presumably UnitedLex will be knocked off that platform eventually.
For specialists, sending lawful administrations outside is one choice to decrease costs without huge hazard. The to start with, obviously, was to in-house less expensive work. Amid the previous five years, numerous organizations did precisely that and enlisted the accomplished, prepared, and taught legal advisors the organizations were giving up. In any case, that ploy brought about a one-time cost sparing. To get more, you should discover less expensive work, computerize, or both. The oversaw administrations suppliers (law organizations) offer every one of the three alternatives.
Placing AI in law in context, if AI in standard is at 10 on a size of 1 to 100, AI in law is some place far to one side of the decimal point. I don't know to what extent it will take AI and law to make it past 1, yet we have far to go before anybody can legitimize stressing over AI majorly affecting attorney's occupations (computerization will do that much sooner). Complexity this to AI and its effect on society, on our laws, and we have heaps of lawful work to do.
At last, I see Reed and UnitedLex as directly down the focal point of the fairway, . They made the following sensible stride in partnership outside supplier connections. Maybe the measure of the DCX arrangement will offer solace to others to make a similar stride.
What this model did not do and sooner or later a model must do, is totally re-compose the worldview for giving legitimate administrations. The new model should utilize more than robotization, yet it will likewise resemble the move from regular processing to quantum computing — a distinct advantage. It is impossible this model will leave the law offices. Maybe a law organization or oversaw specialist co-op will create it. It might originate from those legitimate administrations organizations aim on profiting. Maybe even a scholarly with specialist experience will create it!

Somewhere Between Desire And Waiting
Somewhere between Desire and Waiting derives from an understanding of identity as unstable and unfixed. Based on conversations with two people who had started a process of gender transition I became aware that we also construct ourselves through narratives: Identity emerges from narrating as well as communicating with other peoples. Through fictionalizing the narratives, which were generously shared with me, I attempted to tell stories about the instability of identity.
These stories, which I told again and again but with slight changes, were presented in the form of a book or more precisely the inside of a book: The uncovered, glue-bound section of pages numbered 309 to 422 appear to be excised from a complete, bound novel. By engaging in Somewhere between Desire and Waiting the readers ideally write themselves into it, becoming thus part of an ongoing process of constructing narrations and identities.
Somewhere between Desire and Waiting was distributed in different hotels on bedside tables suggesting that they might have been forgotten, in trains on tables where newspapers were waiting for the next reader and in small, selected book shops such as ART METROPOLE.

Ford announced it is recalling all Lincoln MKC SUVs built through September 9, 2014, for two separate issues that can cause the engine to shut off while driving.
The main issue affects all 13,574 MKCs built and is related to the design of the push-button starter and gear shifter on the MKC's center stack.
"Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving," Ford said in a statement, adding that dealers will replace the vehicles' gear shift module with a new design that has the start button in a different location and will reprogram the powertrain control module. If the ignition is shut off, airbags and other safety systems may not work in the event of a crash.
The Lincoln MKC models built after September 9 have a different gear shifter that was redesigned to match the rest of Lincoln's lineup, but the change was not related to accidental shutoffs, a Ford spokeswoman was cited by Automotive News.
The second recall is related to a mechanical issue that can cause the fuel pump to seize and the vehicle to either stall or fail to start up. The recall covers 337 Lincoln MKCs and 11,868 Ford Escapes built in April and May and is the 13th recall of the Escape since its redesign two years ago.
Ford said it isn't aware of injuries or crashes related to either recall. The company will send letters to customers in February, with repair parts, including the fuel pumps, to be available immediately.

Troubles Mount for the Biden Administration | Opinion
Charles Lipson , Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Chicago
On 8/18/21 at 7:00 AM EDT
Opinion Joe Biden Afghanistan Economy Immigration
The fall of Afghanistan is a disaster for the Biden presidency, but it is far from the only one. The rise of inflation and the massive surge of illegal immigrants are sharp blows, too. In fact, Joe Biden's young presidency already faces an inflection point, as the simultaneous failure of so many major policies, foreign and domestic, suggest to many voters that the administration is incompetent. Voters are also beginning to reach a second, troubling conclusion: Biden is pursuing a very different policy agenda from the one he ran on. They thought they were electing a center-left candidate who would restore domestic calm and constitutional probity after the tumult of the Trump years. What they got instead was the most progressive—and expensive—presidency since Lyndon Johnson.
President Biden still enjoys positive job approval numbers, currently 4 points higher than disapproval. But the trend is not a favorable one. In February, Biden's approval was up by almost 20 points. Since then, disapproval has risen by 10 points, while approval has declined by 5 points. With the loss in Afghanistan, it will decline further.
Perhaps the president's biggest asset is voters' perception that Joe is "one of us"—that he's friendly and likable, not some elite technocrat like Elizabeth Warren or Al Gore. Biden could never have pulled off his narrow victory if he had been as widely disliked as Hillary Clinton or, as the Democrats now realize, Kamala Harris.
What Biden does not have is a popular mandate for the large, structural changes that he and his congressional allies are attempting. The November election and Georgia Senate runoffs gave the Democrats narrow control of both the House and Senate, but no popular mandate for big changes. Nor did they run on that platform.
Instead of reading that signal and respecting it, the White House and congressional leaders decided to push for major changes, from opening the floodgates for illegal immigration via executive order to pushing for giant spending bills which will lock in new, long-term entitlements and much of the Green New Deal. Other measures, such as extending the eviction moratorium for renters and suspending repayment of student loans, follow the same progressive ideology. The goal is to transform America, and Democrats are trying to do it in a hurry.
They are rushing because their control of Congress, already razor-thin, could disappear entirely in the midterm election. The president's leverage in a 50-50 Senate is already eroding as the administration's policy failures mount. The border is a full-scale disaster and the public knows it. For months, Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other administration officials had been repeating, falsely, that the border is closed. The White House must realize how bad the situation is—the president and vice president seem about as eager to visit La Hoya, Texas, as they are to host a fundraiser for Andrew Cuomo.

Why not switch to policies that work better? Because that would mean a humiliating return to Trump's border wall and his "remain-in-Mexico" agreement, which Biden fiercely condemned on the campaign trail and terminated soon after taking office. The earlier policies actually worked; Biden's soft rhetoric and inept decisions do not. When Vice President Harris said, "Please don't come," no one believed her. Statements like that are credible only if they are backed by the prospect of tough, sure enforcement. But that's precisely what's missing.
And so the migrants have come, thousands crossing the border illegally every day, overwhelming border control agents and local cities where they are held and shipped, before spreading out across America. The fact that many are suffering from COVID only adds to the misery. So does the surge in hard drugs and gang members flooding across the porous border.
On the economy, Biden ought to be doing much better than he is, as the GDP and employment are bouncing back very rapidly from COVID closures. But polls show Biden is starting to lose support there, too. Consumer confidence has plummeted as prices rise and wages lag. CNBC reported last week that consumer sentiment had fallen to its lowest level in a decade.
Inflation poses several political problems for Biden and his party. First, it dislocates consumers, which translates into unhappy voters. Second, it flashes a big warning sign that the economy is being mismanaged. Third, it imperils the Democrats' plans to dump a lot more money into an overheating economy. Although voters want roads and bridges, they are balking at anything beyond that, fearing that more federal spending means more inflation. The Congressional Budget Office reports that even the smaller of Congress' two spending bills is not fully funded. The larger bill Biden is pushing doesn't come close. That leaves only two ways to cover the yawning gap: taxes on the middle class—which won't pass Congress—or printing money—which will drive up inflation.
On top of these problems comes the complete destruction of America's military position in Afghanistan. Only a month ago, Biden said we had trained and equipped enough friendly Afghan forces to defend the country and hold off the Taliban. As he said at a July 8 press conference, "Do I trust the Taliban? No. But I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more competent in terms of conducting war." He went on to reject any comparison between Saigon falling to the North Vietnamese and Kabul falling to the Taliban. North Vietnam, he said, had a far more capable military. "The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely." Only a month later, that "unlikely" prospect unfolded, and the Pentagon was rushing troops to evacuate Americans.
It's a grim spectacle—and Biden will take the political fall for it. As Chicago politicians and mobsters say, he has to "wear the jacket." With so much incoming fire from so many directions, it had better be a flak jacket.

I have another recipe for you today that does not involve baking! I've been going through a lazy spell ever since I finished my exam a week and half ago. All I do is play and enjoy the new found freedom and the kitchen is the last thing on my mind. It's okay, I am sure I will be back baking soon.
I made this Strawberry Peach Iced Tea last weekend for a BBQ party I was attending and I had to share it with you guys. It's so simple, refreshing and bursting with berries and peaches. Perfect summer drink!!
One of the reasons I've been unable to get any baking for the blog is this baby!! He is 11 months old and has all the energy in the world to play. He constantly wants to be chased and it is so much fun to just crawl around with him. As I was shooting this recipe, he came over with his dad begging to play peek-a-boo. He makes it hard to get anything done around here.
I hope you are having a great summer and enjoying the weather! Until next time, make some iced tea with berries and peaches!!
In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches, strawberries, sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer on low until sugar melts. Cook on low for addition 5-10 minutes to soften the peaches. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain out the fruit and refrigerate the syrup.
Brew your tea but bringing about 8 cups of water to boil and steeping in your tea bags. Transfer tea to a pitcher and refrigerate to cool.
When ready to serve, sweetened the tea with the strawberry peach syrup. Either sweetened the pitcher or individual servings. Serve tea with fresh peaches and strawberries.
I have been looking for creative ways to stay hydrated this summer and this is just perfect!
It's so hard to keep drinks exciting over the summer.
Oh my gosh, he is just the cutest! I don't think I could do anything in the kitchen with someone that cute around either. This ice tea sounds like the perfect refreshment after playing with such a cutie all day! And I love these glasses!
Mmm, strawberry peach iced tea sounds so good!
I'm glad you're relaxing and enjoying your time since you finished your exams, and that boy is so darn adorable! I can't believe he's 11 months already…and I'm sure you'll be baking him the best cake ever. 🙂 I'm loving iced tea right now and this flavor combination sounds delicious!
Thanks Marcie! Time is flying by so fast…I don't even understand.
This looks SO REFRESHING!!!! I love the strawberry and peach combination! I love how you can actually even add it to green tea! I've never tried it and I can't wait now! I'm first going to make your black tea infused recipe though because this looks absolutely irresistible.
Oh I'm so in love with this drink. So pretty and looks so refreshing! Have fun playing with your lil Mr. You deserve it!
Congratulations on finishing school!! And your little guy is SO cute, I can definitely remember 11 months, busy busy busy little bees (mine is two and a half and hasn't slowed down!) I would seriously love a glass of this iced tea right now, looks so refreshing!
Yay! You're done with school Zainab! What an accomplishment! Congrats. And how adorable is little Elliott?! I'm sure he's so much fun. I love this iced tea. So simple and so refreshing!


This Friday in Spain sees the opening of the film There Be Dragons, a drama set during the Spanish Civil War, which includes the story of the early life of St Josemaria Escriva. The film is directed by Roland Joffé who also directed The Mission and The Killing Fields.
The other day, there was a showing at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. Remarkably, Roland Joffé compared St Josemaria to Nelson Mandela which, to be honest, was not the first thing that would have jumped into my mind. It is interesting, though, that he was speaking particularly of the work of St Josemaria for reconciliation in Spain. Mgr Clavell told the story of the saint being insulted by a taxi driver after the civil war: he said that he should have been killed along with the other priests. St Josemaria gave him an extra large tip to spend on a gift for his children.
Depending on how things break, "There Be Dragons" could stir the same sort of ferment as Mel Gibson's "The Passion" – fierce devotion in some quarters, and strong backlash in others.
As with "The Passion", I expect to find myself on the "fierce devotion" side of the auditorium.
The film has been a sell-out in Spain and will be opening in the US in May. No date has been set for Britain yet. There is further information at the official website for the film.

In latest "Pope Video", Francis calls for respecting Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Actual screenshot from July 2016 "Pope Video" (0:49 mark)
It's that time of the month again: the latest "Pope video" is out! For the month of July, Francis the Naturalist's intention is "That indigenous peoples, whose identity and very existence are threatened, will be shown due respect" (source). The video, which is only 1:30 in length, can be viewed here:
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay4pAAtx0wM[/embedyt]
Although so far, no subsequent video has yet outdone the first one in January, in which Francis put false religions on a level with the true religion and made the blasphemous and heretical claim that we have no certainty in religious matters (thus negating all Faith) except that we are all God's children (contradicted by Gal 3:26), this new one for July once again showcases Francis' Naturalist obsession with man and temporal things, which to him are ends in themselves. He totally ignores man's true purpose in life, his duties towards God, and that which alone can bring him the happiness for which he was created: the salvation of his soul, the attainment of the Beatific Vision.
Long forgotten are the words of Pope Leo XIII: "The world has heard enough of the so-called 'rights of man.' Let it hear something of the rights of God" (Encyclical Tametsi Futura, n. 13). Jorge Bergoglio's call for respecting indiscriminately the traditions of indigenous peoples per se — totally leaving out of account whether these traditions are innocent, edifying, and wholesome or idolatrous, harmful, and odious in the sight of God — is nothing short of an implicit endorsement of Paganism as a human right. We recall his excitement when he met with indigenous peoples in Brazil during World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro:
Chaos Frank hard at work to the detriment of souls
Francis, of course, only calls for respecting people's traditions as long as we're not talking about Catholic Tradition or traditions. No, for Catholics, a different rule applies altogether: They must be unquestioningly subservient to the "god of surprises"; they must abandon their "rigidity", their Rosary-counting all-or-nothing morality! For Catholics and even the slightest semblance of Catholicism, Francis has only contempt. Catholics cannot be "closed in on themselves" but must be open to the "newness of God" and the whims of the "Spirit"! Does the god of surprises also have something to offer for the indigenous? Not so much… No, somehow the "surprise" is always a denial of or attack on Catholicism, never a conversion to it or a greater fidelity to its moral precepts. Surprise indeed! We know what "god" is behind such surprises, don't we? "Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world" (1 Jn 4:1). The Novus Ordo fascination with Paganism is by no means new or unique to the apostate Bergoglio. It was most clearly displayed by "Saint" John Paul II in the 1980s and '90s, as the following stomach-turning articles demonstrate:
Voodoo You Trust? John Paul II's Betrayal in Benin
Wojtyla Gets a Third Eye: John Paul II in India
The Vatican II Sect is a church of man, by man, for man. The true Catholic Church, by contrast, is the Church of God (1 Tim 3:15), founded by God (Mt 16:18), for the glory of God and the salvation of men (Eph 3:21; Acts 16:17). "But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord" (Jos 24:15).

Each year seems to go quicker than the next and 2016 has been no exception. I feel that this year has been a whirlwind as I've gotten more into posting on my blog and Instagram, been busier at work, finished off what is hopefully the last of my studies, and been fortunate enough to take a couple of holidays. Luckily I thrive on being busy and so have settled into a fast-paced rhythm, though I'm hoping it will slow a little in 2017 as there are so many good shows on Netflix that I need to watch!
I have been honoured to be able to work with some fantastic brands this year, including Gatsbylady, Woody Ellen and Moxie Mama Wear, Sew Vintage by Natalia, Vivien of Holloway, Karina Dresses, Love Ur Look Clothing, Voodoo Vixen, Royal Vintage Shoes, Pigtails & Pirates, Lady K Loves, Doris Designs – and the list goes on! It is truly such a pleasure and so humbling to be able to put together blog posts to support these incredible brands and to help even a little bit in getting the word out there about the great work they do. I have also started to put some of my favourite vintage pieces on the record during the year which I plan to continue doing next year.
But of course these blog posts would not look nearly so good if it weren't for the creative talents of the photographers I work with.
Katherine from The Undefined Photography approached me halfway through the year about working together and since then we have such fun shoots with amazing output (she makes me look so good!) and I have gained a wonderful friend in the process. She also has her own blog, The Wardrobe, which you can check out here and on Instagram.
@cmjsnz has photographed me more times than I can count this year and I am in awe as I look back at the images we have produced. We've found some terrific locations to shoot in (including in Dallas and Nashville which I never would have thought would happen!), and I always so grateful for his patience and creative vision.

A definite highlight of 2016 was travelling to the USA for 3 weeks with @cmjsnz. We were lucky enough to see and experience things that we had previously only dreamed of (or things we didn't even think were possible!), and met some great people and ate the most excellent food in the process! You can read all about our trip in more detail here, here, and here.
I am already in talks with fabulous brands, some I've worked with before and some new, to bring you even more great blog content. I also have a couple of trips planned – to Melbourne and London – which I am thoroughly excited about. Otherwise I look forward to whatever collaboration or other opportunities that the new year brings!
What have been your highlights of 2016, and what's in store for your 2017? I'd love to know!
A highlight of my 2016 has been the little bit of whimsy and sunshine your blogs have brought into my inbox every week. It has reminded me that the most important thing in life is to be happy and enjoy yourself and don't be afraid to let your personality shine!! This is something I have started to work on for myself, as life is too short to worry about what others think!! Thank you and have a wonderful 2017.

Game of Thrones Tapestry unveiled in the Ulster Museum
The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones has come to an end – with the season finale airing in May – and scenes from that final season have now been added to complete Tourism Ireland's Game of Thrones Tapestry. The new section of the tapestry – featuring some of the most memorable and exciting scenes from season eight – was unveiled in the Ulster Museum in Belfast, today (11 July).
Sarah Dee, Tourism Ireland; and Valerie Wilson, Curator of Costume and Textiles at National Museums Northern Ireland, at Tourism Ireland's Game of Thrones Tapestry in the Ulster Museum
Tourism Ireland commemorated the contribution of Game of Thrones to Northern Ireland with its medieval-style, hand-woven tapestry – created in partnership with HBO in 2017, to coincide with season seven. The tapestry – woven from linen supplied by Thomas Ferguson's in Banbridge and hand-embroidered by a team at the Ulster Museum – depicts the entire story of the epic TV drama, from season one to eight. It is now 87 metres long.
The Game of Thrones Tapestry is a campaign which celebrates Northern Ireland and its historic contribution to the legacy linen mills which once was the largest linen and textile industry of its time. At the end of the 19th century, it had been estimated that over 100,000 people in the north of Ireland were employed in the manufacture and decoration of linen.
Today, the Irish linen and textile industry is much smaller, whereas a growing number of the Northern Irish have found direct or indirect employment in the Game of Thrones tourism industry.
The tapestry was commissioned by Tourism Ireland and HBO. Publicis London, the advertising agency, generated this campaign to help a global audience understand this shift in employment.
The tapestry was made from material which represents that of the late 18th century (linen) and a technique passed on from generations (embroidery). The tapestry was hand-embroidered by some of the last few people remaining in the industry in Northern Ireland.
Over the coming weeks, the hand-crafted masterpiece will travel to Bayeux in Normandy, home of the world-famous 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry. Tourism Ireland's Game of Thrones® Tapestry will be exhibited there, from September to December 2019, near its historic counterpart – which was a key source of inspiration for its new neighbour.
Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland, said: "Our Game of Thrones Tapestry has been hugely successful, attracting visitors from all over the world to the Ulster Museum, Belfast and Northern Ireland. The stellar popularity of Game of Thrones remains a fantastic opportunity for Tourism Ireland to promote Northern Ireland to a huge audience of potential visitors. Our aim is to engage with fans everywhere, to spike their curiosity about the landscapes and locations featured in the series and inspire them to come and explore them for themselves."
The Game of Thrones Tapestry will be exhibited in the historic Hôtel du Doyen, within walking distance of the Bayeux Tapestry. Tourism Ireland will be pulling out all the stops to leverage this new opportunity to shine a spotlight on Northern Ireland and our Game of Thrones connections.

2010 Washington City Paper comics writings
At the beginning of 2009, arts editor Jonathan Fischer asked me if I wanted to write about local comics and cartoons for the Washington City Paper. I was a bit doubtful, but appreciated the offer and took him up on it. I'd like to thank everyone who's cooperated especially local cartoonists and the staff of the Library of Congress (for the pieces on Fredric Wertham). I haven't been quite as wide-ranging as I was hoping, but this is getting squeezed in around the real world of course. I hope you'll find something of interest that you might have missed in the first place. A list of everything that got posted this year follows.

UBS fined €3.7bn in tax fraud case
Swiss banking giant UBS has been fined €3.7bn (£3.2bn; $4.2bn) in a French tax fraud case.
A court in Paris found that the bank had illegally helped French clients hide billions of euros from French tax authorities between 2004 and 2012.
UBS said it had consistently contested any criminal wrongdoing and would appeal against the verdict.
Following similar cases in the US in 2009 and Germany in 2014, the bank accepted large fines.
As well as the fine of €3.7bn, UBS has also been ordered to pay damages of €800m payable to the French state.
Last month, UBS said it made net profits of $4.9bn (£3.8bn; €4.3bn) in 2018.
The bank has set aside $2.46bn to cover potential losses from litigation and regulatory requirements.
'Systematic tax-evading'
The court found Switzerland's biggest bank guilty of illicit solicitation of clients and laundering the proceeds of tax fraud.
The French prosecutors had previously told the court UBS was "systematic" in its support of tax-evading customers and that the laundering of proceeds from the tax fraud was done on an "industrial" scale.
Prosecutors said UBS sent Swiss bankers to sports events and concerts to solicit clients.
Belgium investigates UBS for tax fraud
The court ruling follows an investigation lasting seven years. The bank had previously rejected a €1.1bn settlement offer.
In a statement, UBS said it "strongly disagrees" with the verdict.
"The bank has consistently contested any criminal wrongdoing in this case throughout the investigation and during the trial.
"The conviction is not supported by any concrete evidence, but instead is based on the unfounded allegations of former employees who were not even heard at the trial."
It added: "No evidence was provided that any French client was solicited on French soil by a UBS AG client advisor to open an account in Switzerland."
Following a similar case in the US in 2009 UBS paid a settlement of $780m and in 2014 it agreed to a €300m fine in Germany.

Who are the favorites to win the USL Championship this year?
You asked us about which teams are the favorites to win the USL Championship this season. Here's our answer.
, and John Morrissey
BY JOHN MORRISSEY
Full question submitted by Derek D.: "Who are the favorites to win the USL Championship now that we're two-thirds of the way through the season?"
Hey, thanks for the question Derek! As we move into the last third of the USL Championship season, it's time to start thinking about the playoffs. Who are the leading contenders to win it all? I'll answer that question. But to put an extra little twist on things, I'm also going to look at why each contender will win the USL Championship Final…and why they won't.
LOUISVILLE CITY FC
FiveThirtyEight Championship Odds: 23%
Why they'll win: Louisville have allowed a league-best 16 goals this season and they're third in the league in goals scored despite missing star striker Cameron Lancaster for most of the year. Jorge Gonzalez, one of the breakout stars of 2022 and a three-goal scorer, is underperforming his xG by nearly four goals and is due to come good.
FULL TIME: Jorge Gonzalez scored a second-half goal as @loucityfc maintained its place at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 1-0 victory against @eplocomotivefc as the visitors held on late for victory at Southwest University Park.#ELPvLOU | https://t.co/B1GycRKEJR pic.twitter.com/fQVGnSbZlj
— USL Championship (@USLChampionship) July 31, 2022
Why they won't: While the defense and press can be magical, Louisville are susceptible to balls over the top when their fullbacks get high. If you put teenage center back Joshua Wynder into a tough situation, you can get a winning goal in transition in a single-elimination setting.
SAN ANTONIO FC
Why they'll win: Manager Alen Marcina's three-back shape is built for playoff soccer. San Antonio absorb pressure and can beat you on the counter in an instant; they're dead last in the USL Championship with 42% possession but enjoy a top-ten goalscoring offense.
Why they won't: If the opposition scores first against San Antonio, they have to stretch their system to try and possess, which then leaves them vulnerable. The San Diego Loyal earned a 3-0 win by doing just that over the weekend, and we could see that pattern again in the postseason.
Why they'll win: The Rowdies haven't lost since April 30 and are more tactically flexible than ever this season. They just got Robert Castellanos, a center back on loan from Nashville SC, back from injury, and midseason addition Nicky Law has hit the ground running as a deep-lying playmaker in an already fearsome offense.
Hey, this smile looks familiar. 😁
Welcome back to The Bay, @rc4official!
🔰 #COYR pic.twitter.com/fnOpzvnjlw
— Tampa Bay Rowdies (@TampaBayRowdies) August 3, 2022
Why they won't: Jake LaCava and Leo Fernandes, Tampa Bay's leading goalscorers, are converting chances at rates above 20%, which may well be unsustainable. Are they peaking too early? Maintaining top form from April to November is a tall task.
FiveThirtyEight Championship Odds: 9%
Why they'll win: Landon Donovan's side is the only team in the USL Championship with 50 goals so far in 2022 and they have four forwards with five tallies or more. That offensive variety is supported by a defense that's allowed just three goals in four games while playing out of a malleable 4-4-2 shape.
Why they won't: The recent defensive success belies the fact that the Loyal have allowed twice as many goals as West-leading San Antonio this year. San Diego also have a self-defeating mean streak: they're the only team currently in the playoff field with five red cards, and that can bite when every game is crucial.
PITTSBURGH RIVERHOUNDS
Why they'll win: Bringing Robbie Mertz home shored up an already elite midfield. Mertz's unflappable skill and creativity – he has seven assists in 2022 – open things up for the attack. The 'Hounds also have a top-ten defense based on goals allowed.
Only six players had ever scored 25 goals as a member of the Hounds...@RussellCicerone is the seventh. And was it ever a big one from the @robbiemertz14 cross!#HFDvPIT #HOUNDTAHN pic.twitter.com/5z3hXptmkc
— Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC (@RiverhoundsSC) July 24, 2022
Why they won't: Manager Bob Lilley hasn't led a team past the playoff quarterfinals since 2015, consistently underperforming in crucial moments. His tendency to constantly tweak his lineup and system can hurt against the most disciplined and talented teams at the end of the season.

/*
Problem 7. Encode/decode

Write a program that encodes and decodes a string using given encryption key (cipher).
The key consists of a sequence of characters.
The encoding/decoding is done by performing XOR (exclusive or) operation over the first letter of the string with the first of the key, the second – with the second, etc. When the last key character is reached, the next is the first.

According to a report in 9to5Mac, the update Apple TV app. Included in the public beta is already allowing the consumers to subscribe to Showtime, Starz, The Smithsonian Channel, and Tastemade channels.
The list is expected to grow as the company releases a newer beta version in the run-up to the release of the stable version. The final version of the Apple TV app will include access to TV channels. Like HBO, CBS All Access, EPIX, Noggin and new services like MTV Hits. The company promises to add even more over time.
The report also notes that the redesign Apple TV app puts more focus on curation and the integration of the third-party services. Other specifics of the new public beta updates are unclear at this point.
If you want to try out the public beta updates, you can head over the Apple's beta website to sign up and enrol your Apple device for beta software access.
Apple recommends backing up your iOS device before installing the public beta. Apple TV doesn't require a backup since all the purchases and data are stored in the cloud.
After you have prepared your iPhone and iPad for beta installation. Go to Settings > General > Software Updates and download the beta update. The Apple TV updates can be found at System > Software Updates.
Earlier this week, Apple releases new public versions of iOS 12.2 and macOS 10.14.4 to iPhone, iPad, and Mac users. The updates brought several new features such as News+ integration and new Animoji characters on iOS.
Now, the latest beta versions of iOS 12.3, macOS 10.14.5, and tvOS 12.3 beta software are now being the company starts seeding to developers". If you are a developer and would like to try out the beta software, then you can go ahead and download the updates.
As of right now, the updates are only available for register Apple developers, but the public beta should start in the coming days. The iOS 12.3 beta 1 update includes a new Apple TV app. Which was showcased during the 'It's Show Time' event on Monday.
Apple also includes assets for the Apple Card in the OS, but you can't see it yet. The service will go live sometime in summer this year. The update also includes several bug fixes and other performance improvements.
iOS 12.3 will probably be the final version before Apple launches iOS 13 at WWDC 2019. Apple has also seeding macOS 10.14.5 beta to macOS users. But we are not sure if the update includes any major features apart from bug fixes and improvements.
We expect the update to include the new Apple TV+ app and the ability to subscribe to channels and services. The macOS 10.14.4 update, which was released earlier this week, included a new Dark Mode in Safari, Apple News+ and more.
Finally, a new beta for the Apple TV HD and 4K is also available in the form of tvOS 3. This update also brings the new TV app with redesign interface and subscription functionality via Apple TV Channels.
Once again, only register developers will be able to try out these beta updates for now. If you own the older Apple TV 3, Apple releases a beta software update for the same. Which brings support for testing AirPlay from your apps to the Apple TV.

Along with the presentation of its all-new, incredibly shaped 2012 Range Rover Evoque at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, Land Rover, the famous high-end SUVs maker has also confirmed officially the rumors for a five-door version of the luxury compact crossover.
The official statement came from Phil Popham, Managing Director at Land Rover, who also shared that the brand-new 5-door 2012 Range Rover Evoque will be revealed later this year. We guess that the new ride will make its first public appearance at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
Still unconfirmed, the power compartment of the 5-door 2010 Evoque is expected to be fitted with the top-performance 2.0-liter Si4 petrol unit with 240 horsepower linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
