As part of the 'Memorandum of Understanding' (MoU), signed today (December 21), a framework enabling companies and research organisations from the two countries to work closely for domestic and international tenders and research projects has been set up. It is hoped this will lead to projects which will boost each country's economies.
It is also anticipated the agreement will facilitate greater joint projects to develop new product applications and processes to be commercialised in the global market, as many of the technologies designed in Israel begin to make headway in the international market.
According to British Water, the partnership also comes as a direct result of Israel's innovative approach to developing water technologies to help it better cope with water scarcity, which is rapidly becoming a worldwide concern, with figures from the United Nations suggesting that by 2030 almost half of the world's population will be living in areas of "high water stress".
Areas of common interest between the two countries, include water management technology, which increasingly uses ICT to aid water monitoring and fault identification; desalination, water reuse and the use of renewable energy sources in water purification, reclamation and desalination.
British Water technical manager, Ian Bernard, said: "The agreement with MATIMOP ensures both parties have access to some of the best technological solutions to implement in both the UK and Israel, and will also enable world leading experts in both countries to cooperate for European and international research, development and technical projects."
Meanwhile, in the UK, the partnership follows the release of the Government's Water White Paper, 'Water for Life', which sets out plans to reform the UK water industry and to meet increasing environmental and water stress demands.
MATIMOP executive director, Israel Shamay, added: "We are pleased to be working closer with British Water than we have worked with any foreign trade organisation before.
"The UK water sector is well respected internationally for its world-leading capabilities, solutions and services, making it the perfect partner to help commercialise and market Israeli innovation and R&D in this sector."
According to industry experts, the global water industry is expected to grow rapidly during the next five years, with capital expenditure on water infrastructure increasing from US$90bn in 2010 to $131bn in 2016.
Minister for trade Israel Oded Distel, said: "This agreement is in line with the overall concept of smarter solutions for the water sector. We want to support the upgrade of water management technology in the UK. We have successfully achieved this in Israel by bringing in technology from other sectors."

The Kentucky Fried Chicken concept was introduced to Britain in 1965 when the first store opened in Preston. Since then KFC has expanded its UK & Ireland restaurant network to its current level of over 700 locations some company operated and some franchised. The achievement of excellent restaurant standards has also resulted in the British operation acting as a training base for many of the new KFC restaurants operating throughout Europe.

Fic: Accidents Happen
Title: Accidents Happen
Summary: Jack only wanted to save Ianto a job, it just didn't quite go the way he intended.
Meme Fill For: black59, who wanted Torchwood, Jack/Ianto and No. 42. "I swear it was an accident."
"I swear it was an accident!"
Seeing Jack standing there in the doorway to the underground garage, wide-eyed and pathetic, dripping all over the floor, it was all Ianto could do not to burst out laughing, which would not do at all. This was a serious situation. Jack looked like some kind of swamp monster from an old Fifties B-movie, covered in glutinous greenish-brown sludge, and to make matters worse, he stank to high heaven. Instead he gave a long-suffering sigh.
"What did you do this time?"
"I was only trying to help!" Jack's eyes, an even brighter blue than usual in contrast to his slime-covered face, pleaded mutely for understanding.
"I'm sure you were, but that's not what I asked. What did you do? And what is that disgusting smell?"
"You don't want to know."
"Which part? What you did, or what the smell is?"
"Um, the second part? Although, probably the first part too." Jack's shoulders sagged in defeat.
"You're most likely right about that, but you know I'll find out anyway, so you might as well tell me."
If anything, Jack sagged even further. "You know how you were saying the other day that the drains in the garage were getting blocked and needed clearing?"
Already Ianto didn't like where this was going. "I remember."
"Well, you always have so much else to do every day, and I wasn't busy, so I thought I could save you a job, because… unblocking a drain, how hard can that be? So I got the rods and poked about down the drains a bit, and then I got the hose, stuck that down the drain, and turned it on to flush the blockage through. I poked about with the rods a bit more, and I thought I was getting somewhere, but then there was a weird gurgling noise from the old trough we wash our boots in, and when I went to see what was making it…"
Jack didn't need to continue; Ianto got the picture and groaned, dropping his head into his hands. "You're right, I didn't want to know."
"On the plus side, I don't think there's anything blocking the drains now…"
Ianto cautiously raised his head, eying Jack suspiciously. "Dare I ask why?"
"Um, because it's all over the garage now?" Ianto jerked back, and on seeing his horrified expression, Jack scrambled to explain. "It was so sudden, like a volcano erupting, just whoosh!" He threw his arms up and out to demonstrate, splattering gunge everywhere in the process. "And I would have stopped it if I could, but I didn't know how!" He dropped his arms back at his sides and Ianto stared in fascination as a lump of sludge oozed down Jack's left sleeve and dropped to the concrete with a wet splat.
"You didn't try turning the hose off?"
"Of course I did, but… I don't think it made much difference."
Ianto drew a deep, calming breath. "Right, get back in there, I'm not having you dripping that… muck right through the Hub. I'll be there in a minute."
"I'm sorry," Jack said in a small voice, visions of being served instant decaf for eternity floating before his haunted eyes.
"I'm sure you are. Go!" Ianto made shooing motions with his hands and Jack obediently slunk back into the garage, leaving a trail of foul-smelling goop behind him.
Ianto joined him five minutes later, dressed in overalls, wellies, and thick rubber gloves, a stack of buckets under one arm and a shovel in his hand. With Jack's help, he scraped as much of the goop off the floor as possible, tipping it into buckets to empty into the sewers. Then he grabbed the abandoned hose, sluiced Jack down to get the worst of the muck off him, and left him to drip in a corner, where he'd be out of the way while Ianto tackled the drains properly. Lifting the drain access panel, Ianto worked steadily at the build-up of mud and other substances until at last water was running freely along the pipes.
After that, it was just a matter of hosing down the rest of the garage, walls and ceiling as well as the floor, then cleaning up the trail Jack had left through the main Hub, plus the various splatters he'd caused by flinging his arms about. The one piece of good fortune amid all the disaster was that Owen and Gwen had taken the SUV out on a retrieval several miles outside Cardiff and weren't back yet, otherwise the car would have had to be cleaned as well.
By the time Ianto was done with the cleaning and had rinsed his boots off in the old trough, most of the water had drained out of Jack's clothes. He was bedraggled, smelly, and still far from clean, but good enough to be marched through the Hub and down to the decontamination showers, where he was unceremoniously shoved inside and run through a full cycle twice, first fully clothed and then naked, just to be thorough.
Wrapped in a fluffy robe, Jack padded back through the Hub to his quarters to dress while Ianto threw Jack's clothes and his own overalls into Torchwood's alien-tech enhanced washing machine, and took himself off for a nice relaxing shower. He felt he'd more than earned it.
"While I appreciate your good intentions, next time you get the urge to help, don't bother," he told Jack when he entered the other man's office some time later and found him sitting forlornly at his desk, dressed in fresh clothes and smelling much sweeter than he had, "It's a whole lot less work when I do it myself."

Kanye West lists sprawling Wyoming ranch for $11million that was called a breaking point in his marriage to Kim Kardashian
Kanye West is listing his Wyoming ranch for $11million
That's $3million less than the original $14million asking price when he bought it back in Sept. 2019
However, West, 44, reportedly paid under the asking price when he purchased it
His move to Wyoming is said to have caused friction between himself and Kim Kardashian before divorcing
Kim, 40, was pictured breaking down in tears as she confronted Kanye in Wyoming amid their relationship drama in June last year
He also has a second ranch in Wyoming in November 2019, which was listed at $14.495million
By George Stark For Dailymail.com
Kanye West appears to be on the move again after listing his Wyoming ranch for $11million, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The 9,000 acre Monster Lake Ranch in Wyoming was originally listed for $14million when the rapper bought it back in September 2019, though it was reported at the time that West, 44, paid under the asking price.
While it is unclear exactly what price the Stronger hitmaker purchased it for, the new asking price is $3million less than what it was when he bought it.

The location will perhaps have mixed emotions for the musician, as it was where he had plotted his failed run for Presidency - as well as a very tense reunion with his estranged wife Kim Kardashian following one of his outbursts on the campaign trail.
One of the alleged breaking points of their marriage, according to UsWeekly, was that West wanted his wife to move there 'full time.'
Too many memories? Kim, 40, was pictured breaking down in tears as she confronted Kanye in Wyoming amid their relationship drama in June last year
'Kanye wanted the family to move to Wyoming full-time. It's where he sees this direction of his life going. Kim just doesn't see their lives full-time in Wyoming,' a source told the publication.
West owns 4,500 acres of the property, with the rest leased from the federal government, and is now looking for a buyer.
The lush, green land, features two lakes where he can go fishing for trout, as well as magnificent views of the mountains.

Pricing: The 9,000 acre Monster Lake Ranch in Wyoming was originally listed for $14million when the rapper bought it back in September 2019, though it was reported at the time that West, 44, paid under the asking price
The new spot also boasts eight lodging units, a restaurant, an event center and numerous meeting facilities.
West was first linked to Wyoming in 2018, when he recorded his highly anticipated Ye album in Jackson Hole, before also throwing its release party there.
According to the listing, the property is '3,888 acres with two fresh water trophy lakes.'
Selling point: The views of the sandstone cliffs and Absaroka mountains make it a premier Wyoming ranch investment
Sprawling: West owns 4,500 acres of the property, with the rest leased from the federal government, and is now looking for a buyer
'The once in a lifetime property contains a BLM lease, equipment sheds, equine facility, livestock corrals, and hay meadows.'
'The lodge, commercial kitchen, go cart track, and trophy trout fishing bring commercial opportunities.'
Concluding: 'The views of the sandstone cliffs and Absaroka mountains make it a premier Wyoming ranch investment.'
Listed: The lodge, commercial kitchen, go cart track, and trophy trout fishing bring commercial opportunities, according to a description
Stunning views: The ranch is surrounded by mountains, and nearby town
A farmer's life: There is also plenty of room for animals on the ranch
At first, it seemed as though Kim Kardashian was on board with the planned move to Wyoming.
When asked where she saw herself in 10 years in her September 2019, she said: 'In my mind, I'm already living in those 10 years.'
'I see us living on a ranch in Wyoming, occasionally going to Palm Springs and our home in Los Angeles – and becoming a lawyer. I would probably do it from [Wyoming] and fly into D.C., NY, and L.A.'
On the track: It also includes a track for go-karting as seen above
Natural beauty: Another shot shows the stunning lake that is situated on the plot of land
Idyllic: The rapper had hoped to spend extended amounts of time there with his family
However, reported began to emerge that the married couple were leading 'separate lives' with West spending more time at the ranch.
She later addressed it on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, saying: 'I just honestly can't do this anymore. Why am I still in this place where I'm stuck for years?'
'Like, he goes and moves to a different state every year. I have to be, like, together so I can raise the kids. He's an amazing dad, he's done an amazing job.'
Kim shares daughters North, eight, and Chicago, three, and sons Saint, five, and Psalm, two, with ex West.
Stunning: The 'once in a lifetime property' contains equipment sheds, equine facility, livestock corrals, and hay meadows
Spacious: The land provides a lot of space to build on for the new owner
West had spoken about his big plans for the side, telling Zane Low in a 2019 interview that they were building farms there.
He revealed: 'We're building farms here because of the climate and because of the soil and hydroponic cotton, wheat, hemp and we're developing our own fabrics so we're going to go from seed to sew from the farming table so we can see the entire process.'
In November 2019, West bought a second Wyoming ranch, which was listed for $14.495million.
That ranch was situated on 6,713 acres, with a five-bedroom, four-bathroom main house, in addition to three cabins which can fit between four and six guests each.
That property is located just outside of Greybull, Wyoming, an area known for its striking natural landscapes.
It is not yet clear if West plans to sell that property too.

Laverne Cox's graduation speech at Pitzer reveals a recent revelation Twitter gave her

Jacquelyn Aguilera, senior class speaker for Pitzer College's 55th commencement, said she was there Saturday for the same reason as many of her fellow graduates — to take a photo with Laverne Cox.
However, the actress and activist left the class with far more than selfies with a celebrity.
Cox acknowledged agonizing over the right words to send off the graduates. She started her speech quoting author and social activist Bell Hooks' book, "Yearning."
"'Language is a place of struggle. The oppressed struggle in language to recover ourselves, to reconcile, to reunite, to renew,'" she said.
She equated that struggle to the sensitivity of inclusion, something that was raised in her own Twitter feed just days ago.
Cox said she was reading Twitter posts about the recent abortion ban in Alabama, her home state, and was too upset and overwhelmed to know how to address it, if at all. She decided to share her opinion by retweeting a friend's post that said, "a woman's body, a woman's choice. End of story."
Someone replied to the shared post saying, "Laverne, how are you going to erase your trans brothers?"
Cox's initial reaction was defensive, but she said when she feels that way, she makes a point to get curious. "If I feel defensive, something is going on."
Thank you for this. This discussion has brought up much for me that I am processing. https://t.co/1rxbllLS5f
— Laverne Cox (@Lavernecox) May 15, 2019
At first, Cox wanted to keep the conversation focused on the issue, abortion, because adding transgender people and people male-assigned at birth who identify as women to the pregnancy equation would complicate the issue, muddy it for some.
But then she realized that excluding certain groups only perpetuates the problem. People who identify as women are not the only ones affected by anti-abortion laws, Cox said.
"I thought for the first time, 'What if I was a transgender man, assigned female at birth and identified as a male, and I became pregnant unintentionally?'"
"All of the language around abortion is about women," she added. "I would really want to have language that incorporated and included my experience," Cox said. "Language that is appropriate and fully inclusive is a matter of life or death for so many people,"
Laverne Cox, actress and activist, told Pitzer College graduates that her success came 20 years later than she expected, but that success was bigger than she had ever dreamed. (Photo by Tyler Shaun Evains, San Gabriel Valley Tribune/SCNG)
"When we don't have to think about or deal with something in our own lives, that is an incredible privilege," Cox said, turning her attention to the 264 graduates, ranging in age from 20 to 50 years old, from 31 states and 13 countries, according to Claremont-based Pitzer.
"As you go out into the world, you're going to be faced with a lot of difficult decisions, things that will make you uncomfortable, that are nuanced and difficult," she said.
Their first inclination might be to keep issues simple. "But when we are leaving people out, we are not really doing the work to be inclusive," she said.
As a person who constantly preaches inclusivity, Cox said she had an noninclusive moment herself with the retweet.
"No matter how enlightened we think we are, there is still a lot of work we have to do," Cox said.
She also quoted Tarana Burke, founder of the #metoo movement. "We are collectively traumatized," Cox said. She said that makes her often ask herself, "if we were to collectively heal, what would that look like?"
For many years, she said she didn't own being trans because when she began her transition, in 1998, the norm was for transgender people to transition and try to completely hide their former identity.
Cox said she felt like a failure when people misgendered and harassed her.
"I had finally accepted who I was, I had taken the steps to live more authentically in a gender that I knew that I was and the world was not reflecting that back to me," Cox said.
Years ago, when she thought she was going to die by suicide, Cox said she typed notes saying, "My name is Laverne Cox. I should not be referred to by any other name. My preferred gender pronouns are she and her; I should not be referred to by any other pronouns."
She stuck the notes in her pockets and around her apartment, "so that I was not misgendered in my death the same way I was in life," Cox said.
"I'm so grateful that I didn't (die by suicide) because now I understand I'm here for a divine purpose," Cox said.
"I am not a failure if people see me as a trans woman," she said.
Cox, best known for her role on Netflix series, "Orange Is the New Black," is a two-time Emmy-nominated actress and Emmy-winning producer. She is the first trans woman of color to have a leading role on a mainstream scripted television show, and the first openly trans person to be nominated for an Emmy in an acting category.
"You might leave here today with very specific ideas about what your path will be. You'll get where you're supposed to be, but you'll have a lot of detours," Cox said.

Heat a cast iron skillet on high heat. Dry off rib chops completely and season with salt and pepper. Add oil to the skillet. Sear lamb until browned on both sides.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar, red wine and a sprig of rosemary until halved in volume. Remove rosemary sprig and stir in butter. Drizzle balsamic reduction on lamb to serve.
This past weekend, several Lava Lakers drove through a mild snowstorm (only three inches in late May, no big) to Redfish Lodge for Idaho Conservation League's annual Wild Idaho conference. We ate well, learned much from fellow attendees and drank lots of tea to stay warm. We even reintroduced the concept of snow to baby Duncan.
Tess and Mike both presented at the conference. First, Tess talked about our glorious Pioneer Mountains-Craters of the Moon landscape. She then told the story of our pronghorn migration study and showed a new google earth video we recently created (we promise to post it, once we tweak it a bit more).
Mike then talked about the Pioneers Alliance, a coalition of ranchers, conservationists, scientists, business people, and elected and agency officials. The mission of the Pioneers Alliance is to protect the working farms and ranches and surrounding public lands that, through community-based stewardship, sustain the rugged and unspoiled nature of the land and wildlife of the Pioneer Mountains to Craters of the Moon landscape.
We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Idaho's wild places at one of the most scenic spots in the state.
To receive your lamb in time, you'll need to order online today or call 1-888-528-5253 by Monday. Happy grilling!
Idaho is dry. Sometimes it rains, and it is very exciting.
Our eyes are habituated to shades of brown/sage green, but every spring, we get a brief glimpse of real green. Last week, we invited a new friend out to the ranch, dined on lamb burgers with tzatziki and walked around our almost-bright-green hills.
It had rained all week, so imagine our delight in seeing some sunshine coincide perfectly with the arrival of our guest.
What better place to grill than right outside the yurt?

For special occasions, nothing beats rack of lamb. It is simple, elegant and so delicious.
I had an old friend come out to visit Idaho a few weeks ago. I wanted to serve her something really special as a thank you for making the long trek out here, so it had to be rack of lamb.
I went with this Gourmet recipe, which accompanies the lamb with a few herbs and garlic, as I wanted to keep it simple. Rack of lamb is so good, you don't need want to cover up the delicate flavor with too many ingredients.
The dish was lovely and well received by everyone. The luxurious taste of rack of lamb paired with fresh herbs made our reunion dinner quite memorable.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Pat lamb dry and sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in skillet. Add lamb to hot skillet, and brown on both sides.
Stir together garlic, herbs, salt, pepper and olive oil. Coat the meaty part of the rack, by pressing this mixture onto lamb.
Place lamb into oven and roast for 15 minutes. Cover with foil, and roast about 10 minutes more (check with a digital thermometer until internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest, while covered for an additional 10 minutes.

In the 1978 publication under Harlequin, the publishing house noted that the readers would recognize a bright new talent in the absorbing story and lively, memorable characters that Robyn Donald created.
A Word About the Author
Robyn Donald cannot remember ever being unable to read. She learned the skill at a very early age; and today she claims reading remains one of her greatest pleasures "if not a vice."
Robyn, her husband and their two children make their home in a small country village in the historic Bay of Islands in the far north of New Zealand. Both the climate and the people are friendly, and her family enjoys sailing in particular and the outdoor life in general.
Her other interests include cooking, music, and astronomy. And she finds history and archaeology especially fascinating because "they are about the sum total of human experience."
When she writes, Robyn visualizes scenes that she knows and loves. The actual germ of a story arrives "ready-made from some recess of my brain, but," she adds, "it takes quite a while to work out the details."
She grew up in her father's dairy farm at Warkworth, met her future husband when she was fifteen, went to Auckland to train as a teacher and then came back to be married.
After the birth of a son, the family moved to Auckland. A little lonely and housebound as she waited the birth her daughter, Robyn began the first tentative steps that set her on a path to writing. Her first attempt was, she said, "appallingly bad." But she was determined to keeping at it. Another move took the family to the far north of New Zealand. Robyn returned to teaching but she still found time to write; with her husband's encouragement she submitted a manuscript entitled Bride at Whangatapu. It was accepted and became Harlequin #232 in 1978.
For reference, Robyn keeps a file of clippings, jotting of ideas, and a diary, which she laughingly says, "is useful in my work as well as for settling family arguments."
She lives today with her husband and one Corgi dog. Resigned from her teaching position when she found that she enjoyed writing romances more, she now spends her spare time reading, gardening, travelling, and writing letters to keep up with her two adult children and her friends.
In "Bride at Whangatapu" (1977), Fiona comes to Logan's sheep station in the Northland Peninsula, of North Island, New Zealand. The Maori place name Whangatapu means 'Sacred Harbour' or 'Forbidden Harbour'. Like many maritime old homesteads, the station overlooks the sea because ocean ways was the main route of communication at that time. It intimates Robyn Donald's enthusiasm for New Zealand's history and landscape, which is a staple of her fiction.
A four hour flight of convert|1200|mi|km over Tasman Sea separates Sydney from Auckland. In "Return to Yesterday" (1983), Catlin makes this crossing on board Air New Zealand jet, which finally comes in over the isthmus separating Auckland's twin harbors. On one side of the harbor is the Manukau with its exquisite gradations of color, which opens across a ferocious bar onto the turbulent Tasman Sea. On the other is the Waitemata harbor, island-sprinkled, a passage way to the enormous Pacific Ocean and the South Seas.
The sprawling metropolis of Auckland is the jumping off point for the Northland Peninsula jutting out to the Pacific ocean. "Bay of Stars" (1981) has its inspiration the Bay of Islands, once a great center of Maori population, made "the hellhole of the Pacific" by European whalers and sealers, and now a world famous aquatic playground. In "Dark Abyss" (1981), Luce finds refuge in peaceful Whangarei City, a two hours drive north from Auckland. In Captives "of the Past" (1987), Raffe and Jennet go on an outing in picturesque Kerikeri. Quite a distance from Kerikeri, Morag comes home to 'the long valley' of Wharuaroa in "Shadow of the Past" (1979). And in "Country of the Heart" (1988) Finley finds Blake in Motuaroha, Maori for 'Island of Love'. Robyn Donald references many such places, which often stand out for their Maori place names, in her books.
The love affair in "Iceberg" (1981) takes off in the historical Kawau Island. A flight in a seaplane from Mechanics Bay from the heart of Auckland to Kawau offers the scenery below of Rangitoto, Island of the Bleeding Sky, which boasts the most recent volcano.
In "Shadow of the Past" (1979), Thorpe's younger brother Graham moves to the Waikato dairy country.
Her second novel, "Dilemma in Paradise" (1978), takes place in the South Pacific island of Fala'isi. Her love for the tropical South Seas is evident in some of her other stories such as "Darker Side of Paradise" (1991), "Storm Over Paradise" (1992), and "Paradise Lost" (1993) that also take place in Fala'isi. Her use of the term paradise is synonymous with the gems of the South Seas, an expression she uses in her book "Summer at Awakopu" (1979), for the innumerable islands dotting the Pacific corridor with their musical names of which Rarotonga, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti are only a few.
To all New Zealanders, they are simply known as 'the Islands' - islands of enchantment and tropical magic, near enough to fly to for a forthnight's holiday, yet a different world.
The group of islands that comprise the country of Fiji becomes home to Meredith in "Interloper" (1980). Lautoka lay spread beneath the sun, a small immensely attractive town, the second biggest in Fiji. On her way there, Meredith stops over at beautiful Hibiscus island on the dry side of Fiji. The palm shaded, coral firnged Hibiscus island is a jewel set in a sapphire and jade sea.
The location of all her stories, except for "Wife in Exchange" (1979), are thus divided into North Island and the South Pacific. It establishes Robyn Donald as the quintessential writer of these particular locales after another such author Flora Kidd who was inspired by Scotland.
"Late Loving" (1988) is yet another testament to her faithfulness to New Zealand. Here she introduces the readers to her version of the Greek hero, a character familiar to romance readers of all generations, who nonetheless whisks the heroine off to a nearby New Zealand island.
Wellington is as far south of the North Island as Robyn is prepared to go in "Bride at Whangatapu" (1977).
The South Island of New Zealand gets some cursory mentions in her books. In "Shadow of the Past" (1979), Morag flies in from Christchurch.
Like the British Isle, New Zealand is an island nation. As in "No Place Too Far" (1991), one important observation Robyn makes is how small the country is, where chance meetings are a matter of fact and not always pure coincidents.
In her writings, Robyn Donald extensively uses the Maori names retained for much of the flora and fauna of New Zealand. It makes for a familiar yet otherworldly reading of her novels in the style of Violet Winspear, and gives credence to the escapist root of the genre.
The enormous Pohutukawa with scarlet blossoms and gnarled barks grows in Waiwheta Bay in the north as far south as Taranaki and Poverty Bay, which is halfway down the North Island, and becomes part of the vocabulary of anyone who read Bride at Whangatapu (1977).
A Tui preens at the topmost branch of a tall Kowhai smothered in gold blossoms. Its black feather is shot with blue-green; the absurd bobble of white feathers in his throat visible when he lifts his head for a carillon call. As it plunders the yellow and orange clubs of the torch lillies for necter, the flowers move and sway . A Riroriro warbles its soft plaintive notes; the shy grey warbler, a bashful harbinger of rain, is the tiniest bird of the New Zealand bush.
And a Morepork calls morepork, morepork.
There are the bellbirds and the native pigeon; the carillon of endangered Kokako; a shriek of a Pukeko in the swamp. Pukekos are lovely blue-purple birds with red beaks with a habit of flicking tuft of white feather on its tail.
Everywhere there is perfume of camellias, freesias, jasmine, tiny lilac thyme flowers and bright orange marigold; of the bushy fragrant branches of manuka and kanuka with their pink cloud of flowers, and starry white blossoms honey scented against the grey green foliage.
The casuarinas smell spicy in the damp air. Logan makes his way through the casuarinas to Fiona awaiting under a Japanese Walnut tree in Bride at Whangatapu (1977).
The leafless Jacaranda comes into vivid lilac-blue flowers in the summer.
There are the lovely pink and white orchid flowers of the bauhinias; the hibiscus with their petals like silken bells.
It might be the depths of winter, but here, there are always flowers - the golds and reds of the day lilies, daisy bushes in the finery of yellow, pink and white, their scent freshly sweet. Earliest daffodils nod in the thin pale rays of the sun.
A Puriri tree crouches in the grass. While Eden's grandparents and mother rest in peace under the Totara tree in Golden Mask (1992).
A small wind from the sea set the branches of the Paulonia tree swaying against the sky.
There are the pine forests of Waitangi and subtropical fruits growing in area around Kerikeri. The fruits from the citrus trees hang like the golden apples of Hesperides. The Karaka and Karo trees dominate the forested hillside.
In the ocean, the Kahawai follow a shoal of the tiny fish they feed on.
The impatient 'pink-pink' of some small bird wakes up Linnet in Iceberg (1981).
In Interloper (1980), the only noise Meredith hears upon waking is the liquid trilling of some small bird.
In the beautiful South Seas paradise native orchids bloom cream and pale, lilac and gold, their delicate flowers emitting a sweet, slightly lemony scent.
There is the riotous exuberance of growth from the rough trunks of the coconut palms, immense, spreading banyan trees, to tall tree ferns.
And the flowers! Hibiscuses from all shades of red and yellow, the trailing bougainvillea in lilacs and pinks and mauves, frangipani of all colors, zinnias and the wide golden blossom of allamanda vine.
The lush foliage is replete with mass of flowers and wide leaved plants.
In Storm Over Paradise (1992), Fenella is made wise about tiare aloka, flower of love, a potent aphrodisiac known to natives of Fala'isi.
If in her evocation of a formal garden Robyn Donald rouses a 'surge of emotion' in Bride at Whangatapu (1977), she does so again in the 'piercing of emotion' evoked by the bushy crowns of the massive, elemental Kauri trees in Color of Midnight (1994).
The North Island has nice, temperate climate. There is no snow, no great heat, not much difference between summer and winter. It sounds like California weather except that there is plenty of humidity, Northland being notorious for its sticky days and nights.
And more than enough rain as spring is pretty wet. Blade calls it lousy spring weather in Golden Mask (1992). The chances of unseasonably wet and wild weather increases if tropical storms chase down from the Pacific as far afield as Fiji. In Northland if there is more than four inches (102 mm) of rain a day, the hills start to slip away. Stranded by a flash flood, an exhausted Oriel finds refuge with Blaize in Summer Storm (1991).
Summer is the time when holiday makers make the most use of the Northland Peninsula. This is how Lorena meets Bourne in Bay of Stars (1981). However, turning a sleepy seaside into a modern holiday resort puts Guy and Mike in a collision course in Island Enchantment (1994).
The warm sunshine of the far north is welcomed for a sick boy from colder Wellington in Bride at Whangatapu (1977). Country of the Heart's (1988) exquisite Finley sleeps off the after effects of a bout of pneumonia under the silver and green canopy of a Puhutukawa tree. Back in Auckland, she can already feel the evenings cooler than they were in the island.
But the warm temperatures can soar to unprecedented heights. Then it becomes too hot to eat, almost too hot to sleep.
Autumn is one weather that not only Northland but also all of New Zealand does really well.
Summer in the tropical South Seas share in the occasional jolts of rain and storm. Reigned inside by treacherous weather, Tamsyn can't escape but face off Grant in Dilemma in Paradise (1978).
But the eye of another storm, a deadly cyclone that rips through Fala'isi, finds Fenella safely ensconced with Dominic in Storm Over Paradise (1992). When they make their way across to the window, the dark day has gone, swallowed up by even darker night. There are stars! If it was daytime, they'd be seeing the sun. But the stillness was uncanny as was to look out and see stars and know that the island was surrounded by belts of cyclonic winds shutting it off from the rest of the world.
"Summer people, summer people, busy, busy summer people. Sailing, swimming, biking, golfing, having parties all the time. Island people, island people, busy, busy island people. Cooking, cleaning, mowing, running, making summer people fine." This is a description that made Hampton beaches on the shore of New York famous. Robyn Donald's winterless North comes very close to this description except for the business associated with these activities.
Morag remembers her old life in Wharuaroa in Shadow of the Past (1979) with wistful nostalgia. They are days spent on the sea - skin diving or water skiing, followed by barbecue on a convenient beach and singing around a bonfire, the long summer evenings when it is hot until eight, tramping across the coastal hills or canoeing down the small rivers, sailing - the list is endless and the long easy days follow each other like a pearl on a string.
It's not only Auckland that is proud to be called the city of sails because most major bays and harbours in the Northland Peninsula are covered in boats and yachts of all types. When an ocean going yacht makes anchor at Awakopu, its owner and occupant Theo steals the heart of innocent Janey in Summer at Awakopu (1979).
Being a New Zealander means that Theo doesn't despise physical labor. He takes to haymaking in Summer at Awakopu (1979); a hot and dry and hard work; but still he enjoys using a few muscles. In Country of the Heart (1988), Blake, too, gets down to mending a fence post, his shirt becoming wringing wet in five minutes.
In Bride at Whangatapu (1977), the whole set up is foreign to Fiona's conception of how New Zealanders live. And all of the people she meets there take it for granted. These people have grown up in conditions of luxury and it shows in the sophisticated way they talk and act. At times Fiona feels like a foreigner. Fiona's own parents lived a fairly retired lives. She had a stay at home mum and her school teacher dad loved his job and the area where they lived, so he never tried for promotion. Growing up, she didn't know that there were people who lived like this.
The antidote to Fiona's feelings of inferiority comes from none other than Jinny, the feisty housekeeper loyal to the Sutherlands. Not a bit put out by her role as a housekeeper, Jinny instead sincerely counsels Fiona that they are all human and they all have usual needs and desires and failings. By thinking of them like that Fiona wouldn't be quite so self conscious.
It is a shock for Finley, too, in Country of the Heart (1988), to realize that there were people in New Zealand who live in such beauty and opulence. She thought that such wealth only existed overseas! Feeling out of her depth, she didn't belong on this enchanted island, a little kingdom touched by magic. For 'magic' read 'money', Finley's thought turns cynical. These people are larger than life. The women elegant even in their informal clothes, the men with the unstressed authority which came with total self confidence. They speak well, share in-jokes, know the ramifications of each other's families, and attended the same schools.
However, Alick of Some Kind of Madness (1991) vehemently denies that the rich of New Zealand can be anything but snobs. He doesn't care how much money someone has or hasn't. What he does take an issue with is a person's track record. Quinn in No Guarantees (1990) also explains that unlike livestock, people are not hinged upon breeding, where character and ubpringing wins out every time.
In Wharuaroa the Cunnighams are the big people, the station owners. Their children go to boarding schools. They holiday in the ski fields of the Southern Alps or overseas. Invitations to a function there indicates that you have arrived socially in their district. Despite the glamorous details, however, Morag thinks tolerantly in Shadow of the Past (1979) that this is after all rural New Zealand and she doubts if Thorpe was a snob.
Robyn Donald shows New Zealanders of varied walks of life except for Maoris. Although she gives a lot of anecdotes from Maori culture and from the once turbulent history between them and the pakeha, Maori for New Zealanders of European descent, she doesn't create a Maori character in any of her novels.
This is in contrast to her delineation of the South Seas islands because here she always reserves an episode where the settlers comingle with the native islanders, their interaction formal yet friendly.
In the midst of a festivity thrown by the Polynesian islanders in Fala'isi, a small child, his dark eyes gleaming comes running and flings his arms around Grant's legs in Dilemma in Paradise (1978). Grant reciprocates by picking the child up. The latter's black head rests confidently against Grant's cheeks as one chubby arm curls around his neck.
In Paradise Lost (1993), Blair and Hugh get to her place of residence one afternoon to find a young Polynesian waiting for Blair with a request to draw a picture of his grandmother from a photograph. Blair accepts and in return receives from him freshly caught fish from the ocean.
The immense dignity proferred to the old men is referred to in Dilemma in Paradise (1978) and also in Storm Over Paradise (1992).
Fijians' love of their children, even the little hooligans, is clear in Interloper (1980).
The islanders light up their faces with big grins and the retainers for house hold work offer a casual but healthy respect to the owners.
However, the only kind of islanders walking around the homestead are the retainers. Although Grant and Tamsyn in Dilemma in Paradise (1978) and Dominic and Fenella in Storm Over Paradise (1993) participate in the festivities of the islanders, the same invitation is never extended to the islanders to attend a party at their respective homes.
Cooking, Music and Astromony
Robyn Donald's other interests include cooking, music and astronomy and all three find their ways into her stories.
In Return to Yesterday (1983) Catlin looks up at the clear sky to see the gauzy band of the Milky Way. In the east, the Scorpius, winter's constellation, was rising, sting poised as it chased Orion the summer hunter below the western horizon. Glowing redly in the Scorpion's body was Antares, which the Maoris call Rerehu. In the southern hemisphere when Antares is overhead before midnight, it is winter.
Dangerous Men and Adventurous Women
Robyn Donald creates self-sufficient men replete with rock solid confidence. The women show stamina and fighting spirit.
In establishing her thesis as to what kind of attraction transpires into love, Robyn like Harlequin author Kay Thorpe, looks for leaping sexual awareness between men and women. Since men are quick to acknowledge this vital force, Robyn casts them into the role of hunter and as women label it as a weakness to despise and overcome, she makes them the prey. This is the adversarial set up that drives the plot forward.
As women are reluctant to submit to physical needs, in occasions where that does happen as in "Guarded Heart" (1983) for instance, they accept it on sufferance. In "Gates of Rangitatau" (1985), when sexual intercourse is a willful act, the woman later chooses to pretend that she never knew her alleged partner as a way of coming to terms with her action.
Although no man outright shows preference for non-sexually experienced women over experiencd ones, the women by and large turn out to be inexperienced. This state of being enables men to decide if marriage is a viable option for them. The sexual uninhibitedness of Venetia In "Smoke in the Wind" (1988) leads Ryan to categorize her as promiscuous. Venetia is then spurned over a virgin, an iconic image of marital fidelity. On the other hand, "Paradise Lost" (1993) is a story where Hugh not only expects Blair to be sexually experienced but also is excited by her wealth of knowledge which he accepts without any undue scrutiny. But it is later revealed that marriage was not an option for Hugh.
Separation is a key to a whole array of her stories. While some titles give this away as in "Long Journey Back" (1988), others are not so obvious. In Robyn's very first novel "Bride at Whangatapu" (1977), Fiona and Logan are separated for five years before reuniting again through a chance meeting. In "Shadow of the Past" (1979), Morag leaves voluntarily and it is only by chance that she returns to Wharuaroa. In "Return to Yesterday" (1983), Catlin flees Conal and decides to return only under pressure. Merrin flees Blackrock in "Old Passion" (1984), and is persuaded to return against her better judgment. The time spent apart works as a wedge that enables men and women to gain new perspectives on their past relationships.
When the time of separation is a matter of years, it is preempted by women who harbor misgivings about their past intimacies that need resolutions. The interval benefits the young women so to gain much needed emotinal maturity, which they eventually need to re-evaluate their past sexual choices and to enter into new ones, a process that they otherwise would have found traumatic to deal with.
On the other hand, where the separation lasts only mere months as for example in "Gates of Rangitatau" (1986), and in "Country of the Heart" (1988), women appreciate their sexual involvements without making any emotional commitments, which is later achieved in a shorter span of time.
In "Paradise Lost" (1993), intermittent separation is accepted as a fact in their relationship. While, in "Golden Mask" (1992), the separation is instigated by Blade on purpose so that Eden can gain a broader foundation in life to analyse her emotional needs.
Separation is carried on to its logical conclusion as in the finality of death, the prospect of which, is often thrown into the lives of the men and women so to face up to their actual potentialities in life. In "Return to Yesterday" (1983), for instance, a car accident that results in death for others makes Catlin realize that it could have easily been Conal lying there in the grip of death, and pangs of this final separation forces her to acknowledge the depth of her love for him and to accept with resignation a life without love, which she up until then fought against.
Robyn also portrays women from different looks and backgrounds who are experiencing a personal crisis that gives movement to their lives. For instance, Cressida in "Sweetest Trap" (1988) is shipwrecked and has nowhere else to go. In "Bitter Homecoming" (1989), Alexa is dogged by a scandal. In this tense background, Robyn re-enforces a stock characteristic, namely tenderness and protectiveness, in men's treatment of these women. By adhereing to this mode of behavior for all men, Robyn is inversely intimating to her readers not only what is to be expected from men but also what is it that women find fulfilling in them. Nevertheless, as pity can be mistanken for love, so can possesivness be mistaken for protectiveness. Cressida in "Sweetest Trap" (1988) sets out to make this distinction clear to her benefactor Luke. On the other hand when Ryan in Smoke in the Wind (1988) falls short of both these virtues, it results in grief for all parties concerned.
Children often play a role in the stories which allows the evolving love affair to assume a compassionate face at the same time barring it from becoming a caricature of self-centered emotions. In "Iceberg" (1981), Robyn contrasts the previous unhappiness of a child who is now comforted by her new playmate who would become her future mom. On the other hand, Denise in "Bride at Whangatapu" (1977) uses Jonathan's youthful affection for her as a tool to ensnare Logan.
In the confessional stage of their relationship, men admit to love with depth and sincerity and women, who now have achieved complete emotional security from men, feel confident in their role as sexual partners, and thus look forward to years of successful marriage.

Top 20 Legal & Free Malayalam Movie Download Sites (December 2020)
Here's a list of best and free Malayalam movie download sites.
By Robb Mathur Last updated Dec 2, 2021

Law Firm Lessons from the Court
During the "March Madness" of the NCAA college basketball tourney, I had the privilege of watching my alma mater UCLA play in two games. One was a victory—a tough, close game against Texas A&M. The other, with a berth in the championship game on the line, was a loss to Memphis. Results aside, the games were an opportunity to watch talented performers in action and draw lessons from their achievement. And those lessons are directly relevant to another group of talented performers in a tough competitive environment—lawyers.
In its victory, UCLA prevailed even though the team played one of its worst games of the year. The players had the mental toughness to stay in the game and grind out a win. For me, it was reminiscent of a discussion I had recently with a client who asked me to do a profitability analysis of her firm. She and her partner believed that the expenses of their small firm were too high. My review of the data indicated changes that could be made in how certain expenses were accounted for, but more importantly, the review showed that the firm was in sound financial shape. The lawyers needed more revenue, and had the resources to pursue it. I believed that my recasting of their expenses would help instill in them the confidence that they are not in terrible shape and that they could succeed. That kind of confidence provides the mental toughness to continue seeking the appropriate client base to generate increased revenue. Looking at the data positively removed the fear of failure and created confidence in success.
In its loss, UCLA's opponent played about as well as they could, and UCLA didn't. Successful basketball, like a successful legal practice, is a team effort—if the team isn't firing on all cylinders, it too often tries to overcompensate, and gets away from what made it successful. People no longer play their true roles.
In a law firm, you cannot profit and you cannot grow unless you have skilled visionaries and lawyers who are rainmakers. You cannot grow and continue to increase profits unless you work as a team, share client information, legal expertise, and legal knowledge with all the other lawyers in the firm. Some firms grow even to several hundred lawyers, but continue to limit rainmaking to a few stars. These law firms generally face collapse when those few rainmakers retire or "die in their boots." Without a succession plan that includes the willingness of the "stars" to share their knowledge and transition their client relationships to others in the firm (the next generation), the entire firm disintegrates when the stars leave.
As in basketball, successful law firms are team efforts...with all cylinders working well, together!
No Olympian athlete has won gold without a coach. So why should attorneys have to do it alone? Tap into my personal private coaching service that will yield Olympic results. Many of our clients increase their revenue by five or six figures—that's $50,000 to $400,000 based on reports thus far.
Clients include attorneys, managing partners, executive directors and financial directors at small, mid-size, and large law firms. Hundreds of my clients have experienced:
• Objective, situational assistance from one of the country's top coaches and consultants
• Increased revenue with long-term strategies for sustainability
• Attainment of partnership level
• Enhanced performance resulting from focused energy and reduced stress
• Feelings of increased control over professional life
• Heightened productivity due to being held accountable and being questioned and challenged
Personal Commentary
This past week, I had the great pleasure to speak several times for the Ohio State Bar Association. They are truly fine lawyers and it was a joy for me to participate with them.
A few of the "seashells" (lessons learned from the presentations that they will implement when they return to the office) they shared with me after my presentations are: begin to think in terms of value to my client rather than my time spent on the matter; describe what we've achieved for the client first in the listing of services delivered and then continue with the balance of the description; batch all n/c charges at the bottom of the billing statement so the client gets a clear picture of how much was done for him/her without being charged; be more diligent in time keeping to reduce the amount of non-billed time. These and many other lessons were taken away by our participants.
What are you doing to improve the business focus of your practice? Please share your achievements by sending me a note, edpoll@lawbiz.com. Thank you.

"I look at Ed as my business partner now—my once-a-week essential business meeting to take the pulse of my practice. During our one-hour phone conversations, we hash out the larger and smaller business challenges of my law firm. I always come away from those conversations enlarged, challenged, and sometimes even quite shaken, but with the tools necessary to move forward down the path he and I are constantly redefining for me and my firm."

Make mother tongue medium of instruction in schools
PTI Bengaluru
Make mother tongue medium of instruction in schools Bengaluru, July 13 (PTI): Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu Saturday suggested making the mother tongue the medium of instruction in schools, at least at the primary level. "Our languages must unite us in the cause for inclusive and sustainable development and must not end up as tools to divide us," he said.
Naidu said there should be no imposition of any language, nor should there be any opposition to any language. The Vice President said language preservation and development needs a multi-pronged approach and added that it was time to rethink and reinvent the entire language education in the country.
Addressing the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) at Mysuru, he said, "We must start by making the mother tongue the medium of instruction in our schools, at least at the primary level." Pointing out that a number of global studies by expert groups had established that teaching the mother tongue at the initial stages of education gives an impetus to the growth of the mind and thought and makes children more creative and logical, Naidu said they must be taught multiple languages to widen their horizons. The Vice President also expressed happiness over the new draft National Education Policy, noting that it has given a number of suggestions to support education in home languages and mother tongues, tribal as well as sign languages.
The policy rightly states that children have the potential to acquire multilingual skills and these need to be encouraged at the earliest, he said in his speech, a copy of which was released to the media here. Hoping that more people would start using their native languages at home, in the community, in meetings and in administration, Naidu said a sense of dignity and pride must be accorded to those who speak, write and communicate in these languages.
"Language should become a catalyst for inclusive development," he said, adding that language promotion should be an integral part of good governance. Stressing that many more bold decisions must be made to protect and nurture our languages, Naidu said, "Our languages must unite us in the cause for inclusive and sustainable development and must not end up as tools to divide us.
There should be no imposition of any language, nor should there be any opposition to any language, he said. "Every language is important and worth our efforts in preserving and propagating it. Let us strive to communicate with each other and understand each other better," he added.
Noting that more than 19,500 languages or dialects are spoken in India as mother tongues, according to the Language Census, Naidu said there are 121 languages spoken by 10,000 or more people in India. "It is extremely disheartening to learn that 196 languages of our country are classified as endangered. We may have to ensure that this number doesnt increase," he said, adding that the only way to protect and preserve the languages was to constantly use them..
