Bach split turns ugly with latest dig
After splitting with ex-boyfriend Carlin Sterritt in July, former Bachelorette Angie Kent has admitted that she is pansexual.
During an interview with the Kyle and Jackie O show, the 30-year-old said that she "falls in love with a person, not the gender".
The confession urged radio host Kyle Sandilands to ask, "Have you ever been with a woman?"
"No I haven't, but I always said that I'd fall in love with a person, not the gender," Kent replied.

Sandilands then asked if she were "open to women," to which Kent replied that she was.
She went on to say that she has kissed women before.
"Yeah of course I have, it's the thing to do back on the Sunshine Coast! There's nothing else to do," she joked.

"I've always said since I was younger, I fall in love with the soul rather than a gender."
Kyle's radio host Jackie 'O' Henderson then asked the reality star if she meant she were pansexual, with Kent confirming that she was.
The definition of a pansexual is someone who is attracted to someone regardless of their sex or identity.
"There you go, I've got a label. I think it comes down to chemistry," Kent clarified.
It comes after the Gogglebox star split with Bachelorette winner Carlin recently, admitting it was because their "values didn't align".
Angie and Carlin while they dated.
"I'm more spiritual, carefree and wild, whereas he's a Christian boy. We're just different," she said.
The pair dated for 10 months following Angie's season of The Bachelorette.
Earlier this month, Carlin revealed that his insecurities also led to their break-up, saying that Kent's relationship with runner-up Timm Hanly got in the way.
The 32-year-old personal trainer spoke on the How To Life podcast about how he uncovered text messages between the two.
"She really cared for Timm. They were kind of messaging a little bit afterwards. I was trying to play it cool, like, 'It's fine, it's all good,'" he said.
"I was trying to be nice and I was trying to do the right thing," he said.
"And then more and more, her and Timm messaging each other, it just started to really eat me away."

It didn't help that as soon as he and Angie were able to live a normal life following The Bachelorette, she was almost immediately cast on Dancing With The Stars.

"Then she goes onto the next show, Dancing With The Stars with this hot Italian dude and I'm like, 'Oh man this is not easy. He's a good looking dude!'
"She would train five hours a day with this guy, five days a week and then fly to Melbourne for four days and so I'm like, 'You get to spend so much more time with this guy. I'm still feeling pretty sh*t about having just watched you mack on with all these other dudes.'
"I wasn't ready for it. So we had a pretty difficult run," he said.
Bachelorette Brooke Blurton has said it was her decision to break up with her winner Darvid Garayeli, revealing the pair wanted "different things".
She was infamously dumped just three days after The Bachelorette, but Becky Miles is now expecting her first child with her new boyfriend.
After announcing their sudden split, Bachelorette exes Brooke Blurton and Darvid Garayeli have given a clear sign that things aren't amicable.

Artists fight for podium time at Toronto's Maple Blues Awards
Brad Wheeler
The venerable Downchild Blues Band, seen here, added the Entertainer of the Year award to its reinforced trophy case.
Three blues artists fought for podium time at Koerner Hall in Toronto, where the annual Maple Blues Awards were handed out on Monday. New Brunswick's Matt Andersen won recognition as the year's top male vocalist and best acoustic act, Montreal's Dawn Tyler Watson pulled the rare trick of winning in both the songwriter and recording/producer categories, and Kingston's Emily Fennell, who trades under the name Miss Emily, accepted applause as the year's top female vocalist and new artist.
The national Maple Blues annually celebrate Canadian blues music in both its recorded and onstage forms. Regina singer-guitarist Colin James was judged the year's best electric act, while the venerable Downchild Blues Band, no stranger to the proceedings, added the Entertainer of the Year award to its reinforced trophy case.
It was one more honour for the group responsible for the 1973 song I've Got Everything I Need (Almost), the first Canadian blues recording ever to sell gold. Written by Downchild co-founder Don Walsh and recorded by the Blues Brothers for its hit 1978 album Briefcase Full of Blues, the song was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019.
Other notable 2020 Maple Blues winners included Montreal's Paul Deslauriers (top guitarist), Toronto-based Steve Marriner and Vancouver's Harpdog Brown (who tied in the harmonica category) and Montrealer Michael Jerome Browne, recognized for his career achievements.
In other Canadian blues news, Ottawa's Horojo Trio took top honours at the International Blues Challenge competition in Memphis over the weekend. As well, the threesome's guitar player, JW-Jones, was named the year's best guitarist. The annual talent competition is international in scope.

The company has tried to combat youth use by shutting down its social media accounts and pulling fruity flavors like creme and mango from retailers
By Angelica LaVito | CNBC
Published Jul 13, 2019 at 7:16 AM
Kevin Burns, CEO, JUUL, left, and CNBC's Carl Quintanilla
Juul CEO Kevin Burns said he would tell parents whose children are addicted to Juul's e-cigarettes, "I'm sorry"
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb blames a teen vaping "epidemic" on Juul
CNBC investigates the e-cigarette debate in a documentary called "Vaporized: America's E-cigarette Addiction"
Kevin Burns, CEO of Juul Labs — the maker of the bestselling e-cigarette in the U.S. and center of federal regulators' crackdown into what they're calling a teen vaping "epidemic" — has a message for parents whose children are addicted to his company's products: "I'm sorry."
Since launching in 2015, Juul has quickly come to dominate the e-cigarette industry with roughly 40% of the market, becoming such a dominant player that Altria, the top U.S. cigarette company, invested $12.8 billion for a 35% stake in the San Francisco-based start-up. But the company has a problem: Its vapes are incredibly popular with teenagers.
The Food and Drug Administration has declared teen vaping an "epidemic," citing federal survey data that showed nearly 21% of high school students vaped last year. Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb and health care advocates blame the surge in teen vaping on Juul.
CNBC's Carl Quintanilla interviewed Burns for a documentary, "Vaporized: America's E-cigarette Addiction," which premiers Monday at 10 p.m. ET. Quintanilla, who toured one of Juul's manufacturing facilities in Wisconsin with Burns, asked him what he would say to a parent with a child who was addicted to Juul.
"First of all, I'd tell them that I'm sorry that their child's using the product," said Burns, who joined Juul in late 2017. "It's not intended for them. I hope there was nothing that we did that made it appealing to them. As a parent of a 16-year-old, I'm sorry for them, and I have empathy for them, in terms of what the challenges they're going through."
The company has tried to combat youth use by shutting down its social media accounts and pulling fruity flavors like creme and mango from retailers. So far, that hasn't stopped criticism. The company's hometown of San Francisco banned sales of e-cigarettes last month.
E-cigarettes are being marketed to adults to help them quit smoking while still getting their nicotine fix. But they've come under fire in recent months for their growing popularity among teens. Federal data shows about 3 million U.S. high school students vaped last year. That is prompting fears e-cigarettes are addicting a new generation of nicotine after decades of cigarette smoking rates plummeting.
Pam Debono's daughter Grace picked up a Juul in the summer of 2017. At the time she was 15 and Juul was starting to take off. Pam Debono calls it "the summer of Juul," when she started finding plastic covers everywhere that she "didn't really have a clue what they were."
Grace told CNBC that a friend of hers bought the Juul pods and devices from a gas station. Both girls were 15 at the time. Grace said she would hit her Juul first thing in the morning and would puff on it all day, going through one nicotine pod per day — about as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes.
"It would always be in my hands," she said. "Like, it would always just be with me, you know? And so I would always just, like, hit it 'cause it was just so easy."
Stanford pediatrics professor Bonnie Halpern-Felsher said her research team found kids are "more addicted" to Juul than other products because the nicotine level in Juul pods is "astronomically high." Juul pods contain 5% nicotine, whereas other pods before Juul's introduction contained between roughly 1% and 2.4% on average, according to the Truth Initiative, a nonprofit dedicated to eradicating tobacco. The company has since introduced lower dosages with 3% nicotine for some of its flavors.
Juul says its products are meant for adults, not minors like Grace. The company supports raising the minimum smoking age to 21 to keep teenagers from buying its e-cigarettes.
Yet Juul's critics point to the company's initial advertising campaign, which featured bright colors and young looking models, as evidence that Juul fueled the surge in teen vaping. Co-founder Adam Bowen said in retrospect the ads were "inappropriate."
"When we launched Juul, we had a campaign that was arguably too kind of lifestyle-oriented, too flashy," he said. "It lasted less than six months. It was in the early days of the product introduction. We think it had no impact on sales."
Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner, says the surge in teen vaping caught the FDA by surprise. While at the agency, Gottlieb delayed a key deadline that would have forced e-cigarettes to undergo FDA review by now and could have removed some from the market. He now isn't sure if he made the right decision.
"It's a good question [whether the delay was a mistake], and it's a question I get all the time," Gottlieb said. "And we struggle with it."
The FDA review process calls for the agency to weigh the net public health benefit — meaning it needs to weigh how many adults will benefit from them versus how many teens might be harmed — when deciding whether to allow products to stay on the market.
In 2017, Gottlieb pushed the deadline to 2022 from 2018. After seeing the surge in teen use this fall, he had a change of heart. One of his last acts before stepping down in April was to move the deadline up by a year.
The courts may force the agency to work even faster. A federal judge agreed with public health groups that sued the FDA for shirking its public duty.
Some say it's too early to judge e-cigarettes because there isn't enough data and they haven't been around long enough to understand the effects of long-term use.
"Frankly, we don't know [the impact of chronic vaping] today," Burns, the Juul CEO, said. "We have not done the long-term, longitudinal, clinical testing that we need to do."
Despite the unknowns, some researchers say e-cigarettes could help the U.S.′ 34.3 million smokers. Regulators in the U.K. are actively encouraging smokers to give up their cigarettes in favor of e-cigarettes, while the debate in the U.S. proves far more contentious.
"Vaporized: America's E-cigarette Addiction" airs on CNBC on Monday, July 15, at 10 p.m., Eastern time.

EXCLUSIVE BLM trainees given 'appalling' shafting as marketing staff chopped
By Jamie Hamilton
BLM has been accused of abandoning its trainees in an attempt to cope with the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, and has infuriated marketing and business development staff with its latest redundancy plans.
Sources at BLM said the firm had not told final seat trainees whether or not there would be NQ jobs available in the autumn. "I wanted to make public how appallingly we are being treated", a trainee told RollOnFriday. "We are still completely in the dark about what will be happening in September". Even talks about the possibility of final seat trainees being retained on fixed term contracts have been shelved, they said.
BLM told RollOnFriday that it had found NQ roles for three of its trainees so far and had a fourth role vacant. It later said that two further NQ vacancies had opened up, in Scotland.
In a statement which won't fill the trainees with hope, a spokesperson said, "We are in the process of reviewing our requirements in relation to NQ roles including full time and temporary roles. This is an ongoing process as we continue to monitor the impact of the pandemic on work levels across the Firm".
"There are an awful lot of other people, I didn't realise this was such a big deal."
Meanwhile, BLM's marketing and business development teams are also up in arms after they learned that some of them are for the chop.
Sources said the firm had invited marketing staff to apply for only five new roles, and that the partner in charge told them the strategy behind the approach would not be announced until after the group was streamlined.
The plan had "outraged" BLM's PR gurus, said a source, with insiders claiming that it was "led by a partner with NO marketing background" and a "mass walk out" and a pact not to apply for the new jobs was in the works.
"They are short sighted with their plans for the future and making cuts within the business to save money", said a source. "They are not being intelligent about it, but working out the quickest way to save costs and to ensure they don't pay people the extra money as furlough continues".
A spokesperson said the marketing and BD teams were being reduced to 15 roles. "It is with regret that we have commenced a redundancy consultation with a number of colleagues in our Business Development & Marketing teams", she said.
"The pandemic has accelerated our need to re-evaluate the structure of discrete teams across our business and ensure that it is what is needed to support our firm through the pandemic and in the future. We are working with those colleagues to support them through this difficult process, providing them with the necessary guidance as they review the proposed new structures and where appropriate, consider alternative roles within the business".

Not a fan of BLM but can state that I have observed many others in the same volume defendant insurance EL/PL sphere having the same disjointed approach right now.
Anon 24 July 20 09:31
Given BLM's general lack of communication over lockdown, I'm not surprised. This whole situation just confirms my belief that the exec board don't know their arse from their elbow and are just making things up as they go along with no thought about consequences down the line (thinking back to the great admin redundancy of 2016).

Dearie 24 July 20 10:02
This is reminiscent of most firms back in 2008/9. It is harsh but there is no guarantee of a NQ job at the end of any training contract.
09:48 'the engine room that drives new business' I've never seen marketing win a client or bill any fees! The ENGINE ROOM!
They shouldn't have let their old head of bids go. It lost momentum and the team bloated in size.
wannabe 24 July 20 11:29
There's hope for current cohort trainees due to qualify in a year or two but can't help but feel awful for BLM NQs. Not many PI firms are doing well and many will struggle especially in Scotland where the PI market's so consolidated.
Annoymous 24 July 20 11:44
Anonymous at 10.38am you obviously didn't work closely with the marketing team. We were able to track and trace where our efforts increased or brought new business in. I might not describe us as the engine room but we have most certainly assisted in and contributed to new and existing business and ensuring BLM was know for the work they do. Many of us are facing redundancy in these uncertain times after many of us have given our working lives and where necessary have gone above and beyond to support the business. This process we are going through is a kick in the teeth and very hard on us so thanks for your support and your narrow mindedness
Because people are born with an innate knowledge of which firm they wish to use aren't they
Red rag 24 July 20 12:40
"Anonymous 24 July 20 10:38
09:48 'the engine room that drives new business' I've never seen marketing win a client or bill any fees! The ENGINE ROOM!"
Presuming then you've got well developed RoI tracking for all fee earners' marketing and BD activities, then? You know exactly which clients came through via referrals, cold enquiries, long-term relationships or the multitude of other sub-categories?
If your marketing campaigns and activities aren't working, why are you waiting until just before a recession to bin this team?
Whether its BLM or elsewhere, consider what you want from your "support staff", find and develop the right talent (at the right salary/commission) and map their impact on the business in £/p. They don't make the grade, there's the door. Fair enough. But please don't treat them as 'brochure designers', 'event staff' or 'cold callers' and then dump them indiscriminately when its cost-cutting time. This reflects poorly on management.
Clearly somebody from the firm who is short sighted. In actual fact you will see that the whole marketing team has significantly contributed to WINNING NEW BUSINESS and retaining existing new business so that the fee earners can go and 'bill any fees'. It's not marketing's job to bill the fees mate! And it's through marketing's combined contribution and efforts alongside fee earners that generate the revenue to put that fat pay check into the equity partners. You clearly don't understand or appreciate the value this team brings to BLM.
This is totally irrelevant to anything going on at the moment given the whole marketing team is facing redundancy. For you information the team hasn't bloated in size, it remains exactly the same size as when the old head of bids was there. Bitter much? Try to have a good day mate
Well said ... very well said.
Blm HR 24 July 20 13:22
BLM cost lawyers too getting a trim?
13.09 24 July 20 13:57
Not that old head of bids, the one before him.
BLM aren't the first firm to target business services functions as soon as the markets are unsettled, and they definitely won't be the last. I would argue though that maybe a partnership needs to look introspectively at those who aren't pulling their weight before indiscriminately making teams smaller and more stretched. Average Business Services staff pay is probably 10-15% of what each City based partner will be taking home each year after all.
At Jones Day, we let our "head of birds" go too. He was just too sexist.
Ghost of Gary and Bill 24 July 20 15:14
@ red rag - agreed.
There are also some inept "support staff" who manage to hide and protect themselves by being closely aligned with senior management and being their lackeys.
The result is that they view themselves as being a cut above the rest (probably due to personal insecurity) and untouchable despite not contributing financially to the firm.
Giving some of them dubious titles such as "director of......." only enhances their air of superiority over the rest.
On the other hand, there are some superb support staff who do not get the recognition or appreciation which they deserve (PAs for fee earners, people who work in facilities) etc.
Gary All 24 July 20 18:13
When I worked at BLM the marketing team were awful. Unless something drastic changed over the last few years I doubt they won a scrap a work. Good move I reckon getting rid of the 'dead wood'. Now move onto all those secretaries gassing on the phone and filing their nails...surely working from home has taught the firm that they aren't needed?
Good ol' ROF with the journalistic integrity of a flea. So explain how this works... disgruntled employee/s calls or email (hopefully wise enough not to do so from a work device!) spills some beans and you write a story full of emotive headline-grabbing drivel? OK got it!!
No marketing department is safe in the current pandemic - not BLM's or anyone else's unless people can prove thay they're contributing positively to the bottom line.
We're in the the midst of the deepest recession since the Great Depression and it seems that some 'entitled' marketingfolk are clueless of this simple fact. It's this simple unless you've got the right set of skills & ideas to help navigate your firm out of this scenario then you'll be surplus to requirements and be cut. If you do then you wont! It's not rocket science.
Pick up the FT, read HBR & know that the world's going to be like this until 2024! Do something to connect with reality, I mean really!
Better still read your company policies and know that sharing company info is a stackable offence and that no one will trust you in the corporate environment again!
...oh and shame on you for your BS supporting photo ROF. The BLM movement isn't a joke! You clearly need a new picture editor....maybe you can employ one of the disgruntled employees you've fawned over to right this...am sure they're on speed dial and would love to help!
Given it's almost all panel work and there are only a few firms insurers can choose from, how can any PR or BD team "drive" the business. Insurers don't care about marketing gimmicks or glossy prospectuses. They care about MI, costs and a reasonable level of legal advice - in that order.
The BLM marketing crew are excellent. Their polish made a t**d look good for clients. So sad that they will be the victims of failure to plan elsewhere in the business.
A waste of space 25 July 20 06:13
I've never encountered a law firm marketing team that's any good. In my experience they deliver almost zero value and I'm not surprised law firms are scaling back or getting rid of such teams.
A marketing team in a defendant PI firm seems to be a particular waste of space.
It's time to cut out the fat so marketing, HR and accounts people are going to get canned. Nobody dealing with client work will notice.
Ah, I forgot about the pitch fairies who come in the night and put those panel pitch responses together.
If your firm is still producing marketing gimmicks and glossy prospectuses then you've got bigger problems at the top of your organisation. Bet you're run by lawyers who also think that promoting legal directory rankings is good marketing.
Best of luck achieving the lofty heights of offering a reasonable level of legal advice, don't work yourself too hard there.
Marketing teams are irrelevant in firms like BLM. It's about the bids team and getting key client relationship managers to team up with claims managers at insurers to get the inside scoop on what their procurement team is assessing their pitch and proposal.
Another day, another scathing review for BLM. Oh BLM! Exec board doesn't know what it's doing and shame they have limited commercial savvy!
Anon @ 20:18 - are you the BLM Roll on Friday Response Team?
The story was about how these things are being handled. The staff appear to lack faith in the existence of a Covid 19 survival plan. Given, no pay cuts reported and no reports of dead wood partners targeted, they may be right?
Some firms will be proactive, some reactive. The BLM staff appear to believe their firm is in the second camp - following others. Most firms are looking at BD functions. Now BLM catches up etc...
There's been a flurry of new member appointments recently, as well as a few notable departures (see Companies House for details). Poor souls. What a time to buy in. I bet the process was expedited... *****. WE NEED CASH.*
Micky Brown 25 July 20 11:10
You will be pleased to hear that I am perfectly fine. I've saved a small fortune buying short-sleeved shirts all these years (half the shirt, half the cost). Plus, Liverpool is as cheap and chips and me and the wife don't go abroad - we've been proud members of the UK Caravan Club since 1972. Finally, why waste money on hair plugs when spray-on hair is so damn effective?
I couldnt agree more Gary All @18.13, and thats correct, nothing drastic changed over the last few years and that was the problem. This change couldn't have come sooner. Well done BLM, you've made the right decision.
Comments on here discussing the lack of support in these "uncertain times" but in the same article - some "pact" not to apply for the new jobs with a "mass" walk out, (and if by the word mass they mean 3 maybe 4 junior people, well then its a mass walk out). Who writes this stuff. Don't make me laugh (although I appreciate the contradictory giggles). Take it from someone who is in the thick of it, you've done BLM and yourselves a favour by not applying. It will save you a lot of time, bundles of energy to focus on getting another job, and ultimately, rejection!!
Lack of self awareness is equally proportional to the lack of success. If you lack self awareness you can't change. Why would you? As far as you're concerned, you're doing everything right. Right?
This change is needed and needed fast. The new senior partner, his managing partner and his new executive board have lead this business greatly over the last 3 years and with a human touch, but that's what you get with a down to earth, people focused, strategically minded Welsh family man!
The new head of BD, who apparently has no marketing skills, has managed to do more for BLM marketing in 15 months than the old Director who believed her job was having one to one's with people and even those were put in her diary for her by a full time "assistant" !!! Managing people isn't A job, its PART of your main job. The world is changing, you either change with it or be left behind.
Anyway, look on the bright side, Plexus are now recruiting for a head of BD and with all the mass walk outs/walkers/walking out/ strollers/strolling out (delete as you see fit) and all that endless talent that BLM just can't manage to see or keep hold of well, every cloud and all that.Best of luck!
@20:18.
What on earth is a "stackable" offence? It sounds terrifying - just sack us instead!
Emm Eye 25 July 20 13:49
Anon 24 July 20 21:56 - I would disagree, all insurers care about is MI. Legal advice isn't even a close third.
Varg 25 July 20 18:59
I was there in 2015 when a Partner told me that scanning Court Orders onto the CMS was "against the Data Protection Act."
Backwards Legal Morons are unmarketable.
Gary 25 July 20 20:00
BLM are top of the game...and will come through COVID top of the defendant insurance market. Watch them grow in 2020/ 21...with or without those marketing duffers.
Have zero sympathy for BD people based on what I see daily. No experience in client facing work but dictate to those who how they should do their jobs. Egos and pay bigger than most lawyers.
Growth in 20/21?
What was your excuse in 16/17, 17/18, 19/20?
- Declining revenues (in real terms).
- Declining operating profit and PEP.
- Outstanding bank charge over assets.
- £11m spent on "financing activities".
- £16m overdraft (loooooooooool).
- Three MPs in four years.
This isn't North Korea. You can't "make it so" simply by saying it.
Ps. It's difficult to take you seriously when you start your argument with "BLM are".
The planted BLM replies on this thread (e.g. 'strategically minded Welsh man') are beyond desperate. Grow the **** up. You're behaving like Donald Trump on steroids.
Pitches? Insurers are interested in costs and MI. The quality of the advice is taken as a given. Pitches aren't difficult. Putting together some documents and proofing them.
11.42, 20.18.
Your writing style, grammatical errors, and typos have betrayed you. There's a wonderful new piece of technology that uses AI to determine - with a considerable degree of accuracy - an author's identity. By comparing your entries here with your clumsily worded internal communications, you've been totally busted. Shame on you.
Amazed Def Ins lawyer 26 July 20 18:29
To anon 11.13am 26th July: £16m overdraft! Surely not even BLM are in that much shite? Some rival Defendant insurance firms have no debt. Zero - overdraft. How can BLM be so far out of kilter? Where do you get your info?
SRA 26 July 20 19:33
Some of that 11m went on tribunal payouts and associated costs. That ex HR director didn't have cause a commotion and not in a positive way. Recent events show lessons not learnt.
Well least their BD staff arent downlading kiddie porn.
Should it be 'BLM is'?
Ok so despite the hardish times of the last 3 years it doesn't mean that BLM are not on the way up (or is that is?). As someone said earlier we have some crack management who really know their stuff. Viv is a BIG hitter in the market and she will eat the competition for breakfast no problems. I predict £150m turnover by end of 2021.
Amazed Def insurance person
Would you care to name the defendant insurance practices that have zero debt because I can't think of any..
Gary @ 22.48 - those comments are harsh but i have missed a few sessions at f.t fighters due to CV-19 so i cant corroborate whats for breakfast these days - hilarious!
@18.29
It's referred to as a "revolving credit facility". It's an overdraft. You'll find everything else on the Companies House website. This is publicly available data.
Let's examine the firm's culture. On this public forum, BLM's partners have tried to discredit the entire marketing function, the entire business development function, the entire bids function, its ex director of go-to-market, its ex human resources director, it's current head of bids, its ex head of bids, its ex ex head of bids, and of course anyone with a "director of" title. Are you taking leadership advice from Trump? Can it really be true that all these people were awful? It seems unlikely, but if it were true, what does this say about the firm's judgment? If it's not true (it's not true), would it be advisable to not attempt to discredit former employees? You're coming across as deeply insecure.
What I'm really saying is this: it's not a good look. What would a potential (non-legal) job applicant make of your replies? "Leave BLM and we'll treat you with the contempt you deserve. You'll be isolated more than a North Korean defector. Expect nothing less than total hostility at all times." You employed these (often very senior) people who fulfilled their roles diligently for many years. They went without pay increases and bonuses and respect. The least you can do is to not jump on their BLM-shaped graves.
Anon 25 @ 11.42 you are a disgrace. The way you talk about junior members of the team and others that you simply don't care if they go just shows you are someone who's job is clearly already secured!
You are clearly in a senior enough position to know who has applied for what roles and for you to say they've done BLM a favour and that these people can apply elsewhere and ultimately be rejected, doesn't only highlight that you are a bad person but also that this is an indication of the firms view - then the whole team is better off leaving and going somewhere they are actually appreciated.
If you don't believe in the team, coach and mentor them, how are they supposed to get it right?
BLM never learns, similar restructure 5-6 years ago and then a lot of work went into recruiting the team to the size it is to provide more support to the business. Good luck to you guys! When you realise your plans are short sighted, I'm sure you will start recruiting again to plug in the gaps you are clearly missing.
BLM's answer to running out of cash:
"All our support teams are terrible. They're worse than awful. They're duffers and luddites and idiots and morons."
This is a well-trodden path. Why can't you just blame the economy like everybody else? Why does every round of redundancies come loaded with a "and by the way they were all sh*t" stinger?
This means either one of two things: a) you genuinely feel this way, which would be a demonstration of total incompetence (why wait until a recession to do this?), or; b) you don't feel this way, and you're viciousness is simply masking the fact that the business is failing.
Harsh and inaccurate to say a £100m+ business is failing...far from it. Although I no longer work at BLM I hear great things about the 'Welsh Wizard'. That said dump the dead wood now..it's not vicious it's business. Simples.
So which is it? Incompetence or embarrassment? Or both?
@anonymous 27 @18.16
VERY WELL SAID!
Entitled marketing folk, with clearly loads of time on your hands. How about rolling off roll on Friday and getting some work done? Personal integrity is everything these days. If you've not got it, no amount of knowledge of AI will help you.
Nice to see some things never change. BLM has had more reshuffles of its marketing team in the past decade than there have been years in the decade.
Each time they just send talented people who know their business well to competitors where miraculously, unburdened by the toxic culture of BLM, they prove valuable additions to the marketing teams of those competitors.
Gary, if stagnant revenues (for 5+ years), declining profits, eye-watering levels of debt, outstanding charges/debentures over the firm's assets, and myriad high-profile departures leave you feeling optimistic about the firm's future, you're either a liar or a moron (or both). BLM is, by every measure, a failing business.
Personal integrity? Well, you're absolutely f****d then.
Gary. Also, I entirely agree. Getting rid of people isn't viscous. But getting rid of people and them shaming them (anonymously) on Roll on Friday is.
CMC 29 July 20 10:18
I think BLM have poor history when it comes to getting rid of people. They dont value their people and can quickly turn against people who they have worked alongside 4 yrs. There isnt much integrity with a lot of them despite that failing facade of it being a great place to work. Best Lawyers Manchester....what a load of shite.
To Anon 20.40
People come and go...it's the normal cycle of a partnership. Every 10 years or so senior partners leave and upcoming partners come in to the fill the gap. Happens everywhere. I was once someone big and important at BLM and it even managed to recover after my departure after a while (You may wonder what happened to me? Well i went on to become a very successful multi millionaire insurancelinsurance lawyer living in a country estate with a fleet of super cars..but enough about me).
Yes it's a tough market for injury and insurance and all firms are suffering even BLM but where is the evidence it is failing?
Who divulges their 'redundancy strategy' to a notoriously gossip-fuelled site like ROF and then claims the moral high ground?
May have been better to invest your energies in the case to remain on board and set out your vision for where legal marketing is headed and how you and only you could bridge that gap? Marketers leading from the front and all that, but by resorting to ROF & showing complete contempt for your firm/the very people it is your role to work with and elevate is a sad move at best. Redundancy is never a good situation to be in - who hasn't been there? But it's a test. People falling into 3 camps now it seems: those who give up and put their feet up; those who fight; or those who go on ROF and slate.
Remember ROF serves no one but itself. You are pure click-bait mate. And absolutely no shame here. AI away.

Q: Moving Web-parts - OldServer 2007 to NewServer 2007 I have a Sharepoint 2007 server that I'm setting up for a client. They have an old Sharepoint 2007 site collection that contains several web parts. They don't have the solution (sln) files for all the web parts, all they have is the deployed web parts on their old site and they only want to move some of the web parts (and content) not all of them.
Is it possible to backup the old web parts and deploy them in the new server (or similar to achieve the same result)? If so, could someone please advise on the best strategy for doing this.
(Note: I have been using Gary Lapointe's stsadm extensions (http://stsadm.blogspot.com/2007/08/stsadm-commands_09.html) for moving the content across, but there doesn't appear to be any commands for doing this with web parts.)

A: Essentially, you just need the webpart dll's in the bin or gac for the webparts to work correctly.
If you want them to be able to add some of the old webparts, then you can export the dwp or webpart files from the webpart gallery and import them into the new site collection's webpart gallery.

Eli Whitney was born in Westborough, Massachusetts in 1765. Even as a child he showed an aptitude for mechanical work, repairing violins and taking on other mechanical work as it presented itself. Whitney set up shop making nails and when the demand for nails declined, he changed his business to manufacture hat pins, a commodity with increasing demand. Whitney eventually enrolled at Yale College in May 1789, and graduated three years later. He intended to further his education and become a lawye...


Did you swim at the ASA Open Water Festival or some other event this year? Are you looking for a new challenge or longer distance swim next year? How about a 10k? City of Derby Masters swimmer Val Thorpe looks back on her experience at this year's Dark 10k.
Yes, it's a serious swim. Yes, it's a long way. And yes, it needs planning and training. But it's perfectly achievable.
There are quite a few 10ks around now but one of my favourites is the iconic Dart 10k (run by the excellent Outdoor Swimming Society).
This swim meanders along the majestic River Dart from Totnes to Dittisham and because the river is tidal I've always been a minimum of 30 minutes faster than any other 10k I've swum. You do get considerable assistance which is nice, particularly if you've never swum that far before!
It's a delightfully quirky event (but brilliantly organised) and there's no such thing as a slow swimmer; only 'leisurely'.
In fact, you're positively encouraged to put your head up and admire the beautiful countryside and the abundant wildlife (although I'm sure the cormorants perching on the buoys near the finish were laughing at me).
Of course, if you want to go faster that's fine too, with speed waves appropriate for everyone.
The safety crew are second to none which is very comforting, especially where the river widens to over a mile towards the end of the swim.
Floating feeding stations also are a feature of the swim. How the volunteers stay on them and stay so cheerful I have no idea.
This year's swim was the 'Year of the Cormorant' with appropriate artwork on the finishing goodies. Last year was the 'Year of the Mermaid' with life-size mermaid sculptures marking each km, so each year is truly unique.
The finish is a great place for family and friends to wait for you with bands playing, local food on offer and even a children's craft area where they can make their own medals for mum, dad, grannie and granddad swimmers.
And I shouldn't forget to mention the local pub!
In fact the whole area is a lovely place to spend the weekend and after all, just think of the guilt-free cream teas you can have after the swim.


The taste of chicken essence is very fresh, mainly in the role of monosodium glutamate. In addition, inosinic acid and guanylic acid are umami, also has the effect of Seasoning, and they and the combination of sodium glutamate, allowing the freshness of chicken softer, more mellow taste, plump, and more full-bodied flavor. The real chicken flavor in chicken essence comes mainly from chicken and chicken bone meal, which is extracted from fresh chicken and chicken bones. The use of chicken flavor can also make chicken essence "chicken flavor" thicken; the function of starch is to make chicken essence particles or powder.

Crew Profile: Keoni Kuoha
HOMETOWN: Waimānalo, Hawaiʻi
PRIMARY DUTY: Cultural Protocol Specialist
OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES: Education Specialist; Watch Captain
WORLDWIDE VOYAGE LEGS SAILED: 2017 Tahiti, Leg 9: Auckland
From Waimānalo, Keoni first sailed aboard Hōkūleʻa from Kahoʻolawe to Oʻahu as a high school senior. He has also served as crew member on multiple voyages through the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and Micronesia. He currently serves as the executive director of Papahana Kuaola, a mālama ʻāina learning organization based in Heʻeia, Oʻahu.
Voyaging brings Keoni inner calm and a greater sense of rythym and connection with the world around him. It enables him to see in new ways and move in parallel to his kūpuna. In the larger scheme of things, Keoni sees Hōkūleʻa as a vehicle for positive change, a space for inspiration, and a powerful symbol of the Hawaiian nation. He sees the potential for the Worldwide Voyage to change global mentalities towards our shared kuleana (responsibility), for Island Earth, to improve our relationships with each other, and to clarify our commitment to the well-being of the world around us.
While out to sea, Keoni misses his loved ones and the comforts of home: a bed, a warm, freshwater shower, and a toilet. A day or two before making landfall, he tends to get ʻono for a big, juicy hamburger and crisp fries. While back on land he misses the constant rock and sway of the ocean.

Apple has released the third beta versions of iOS 11, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, and tvOS 11 for users participating in the beta testing programs.
iOS 11 developer beta 3, macOS High Sierra 10.13 developer beta 3, and tvOS 11 developer beta 3 are each available to download now for those enrolled in the Apple developer system software beta testing programs. The third public beta was not released concurrently but is typically soon to follow the release of developer betas.
iOS 11 beta 3 can be downloaded via the Software Update mechanism of the Settings applications.
macOS 10.13 High Sierra beta 3 can be downloaded now through the Mac App Store Updates tab.
tvOS 11 beta 3 can be downloaded through the Settings app on the Apple TV as well.
Presumably an update to watchOS 4 beta will be available shortly as well for Apple Watch testers.
Beta system software is less stable than final public builds and thus best kept to more advanced users, though the public beta program makes it easy for anyone to participate in beta testing if they desire. iOS 11 public beta can be installed (and later downgraded if need be) and macOS High Sierra public beta is available too (and also downgrade-able if you have a Time Machine backup handy).
The final versions of iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra will be available to everyone this fall.
Beta 3 runs as smooth as milk!
This relase is not for Beta testers but for developers only.
Just updated my devices to latest iOS 11 beta 3. Things are more than good with beta 3.
The public beta version just went live for the rest of us!


Imagine being steps away from work, wearing whatever clothing you like, saving money on gas, avoiding the stress of commuting, never venturing out in the rain or snow, and still being highly productive. You've just imagined working from home.
At least 50 percent of all U.S. employees are eligible to work from home and up to 90 percent of polled workers say they'd prefer to work at least part-time from home, according to statistics from GlobalWorkplaceAnalytics.com.
If your employer has given you the green light to work part- or full-time from home or you've decided to start your own home-based business, you'll need a dedicated space for your computer, phone, and office area. At Phelan's Interiors, we're here to help. No matter what size you have to play with—whether you live in a loft, apartment, or large home—the following ideas will help you create a unique home office where you enjoy spending time.
Create a private space for peace and quiet. A separate office area provides a psychological boost. You can close off this space when you "leave" work. Consider using barn doors to convert a dining room, large closet, or garage area into your new office digs. Since the doors don't open out, they save a great deal of space.
Sitting for long periods of time can be very hazardous to your health. So if you're setting up your office, consider a standing desk. Your employer may even help pay for this heart-healthy alternative. It never hurts to ask. Prices begin at about $400 and go up from there. Some standing desks use hydraulic power and can be lowered if you wish to sit.
Make sure you have proper room and task lighting. If you don't have natural sunlight in your workspace, Phelan's can help you select beautiful lighting options for your office. As you see from this lovely home office below, a chandelier and table lamp provide just the right amount of light. You can also easily install pendant lights or purchase some eclectic floor lamps to suit your personal style.
Brainstorm storage ideas to maximize the space you have. Be sure you have a place for everything. Unlike working in a corporate building where equipment and filing cabinets can be stored in separate areas, you'll need all your files and electronics within an arm's reach. This small and efficient space makes use of pull-out drawers, shelves, and cabinets to store necessary items and showcase art.
But you needn't spend a fortune to transform your office area. You can paint and refinish older filing cabinets, use an inexpensive TV stand to store your printer and office supplies, or even use the backs of doors to hang organizational pockets. Check out Pinterest for some fun DIY projects on a budget.
Pick a focal point for your room. Splurge on a piece or a fabric that makes you smile each time you enter your home office. One fun idea is to choose an accent rug. From patterns to bold hues or from minimalistic sisal to luxurious plush, pick a throw rug that will be comfortable on your bare feet. Remember: You don't ever have to wear shoes when you're working from home. Here's a nice neutral mocha palette, but notice the deep pile and softness of this home office rug.
Let the interior design experts at Phelan's help you create additional work areas in your home office. Depending on your space, you might wish to add a funky bean bag, a hammock, a wingback chair, or a sofa. The goal is to give you another place to sit while you read and work on your computer. Having a separate work space also provides a seating area for any clients who may visit.
Add color to your workspace. We'll help you tie together the palette in your home office by using paint, wallpaper, fabrics, or wall art. You can also cover part or all of a wall with a special paint that allows you to make notes in chalk, like this lovely example below.
These chalk walls are much warmer looking than whiteboards and allow you to quickly visualize ideas or keep track of upcoming tasks.
Once you've created the perfect working environment, don't forget you may be eligible to claim a home office deduction.
We hope you've enjoyed some of these approaches for home office décor. At Phelan's, our friendly and professional designers enjoy improving the home and work lives of all our customers. We work with every budget and on projects both large and small. Call us today for help with your home office.

663,000 names on petition protesting Troy Davis' execution
Supporters of convicted cop killer Troy Davis say time is running out.
Unless something dramatic happens, Davis will die by lethal injection next week for the 1989 murder of Savannah, Georgia, police officer Mark MacPhail.
Davis, 42, is set to be executed at 7 p.m. Wednesday, and since his 1991 conviction, seven of the nine witnesses against him have recanted or contradicted their testimony. No physical evidence was presented linking Davis to the killing of the policeman.
Many people fighting for Davis' life are feeling the pressure.
"We honor the life of Officer MacPhail," said Edward DuBose, Georgia state conference president of the NAACP, but he added, "You cannot right a wrong by offering up Troy Davis, who we believe is not the person responsible."
The NAACP joins several groups advocating for Davis, who also counts former President Jimmy Carter, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Pope Benedict XVI and singer Harry Belafonte among his defenders.
The Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network plans to hold a candlelight vigil Friday for Davis at Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. Sharpton will speak at the rally at 7 p.m. ET.
Supporters Thursday delivered a massive petition containing more than 663,000 signatures in support of clemency for Davis.
They're worried that won't be enough, as all legal appeals have been exhausted and only the state Pardon and Parole Board can call off Wednesday's execution. The board denied clemency in 2008.
"In some ways, the board has an opportunity to look at this case afresh," said Laura Moye with Amnesty International USA, which has long denounced Davis' conviction.
A new witness who testified during a 2010 evidentiary hearing said he saw another person shoot MacPhail. Supporters hope that fact will be considered by the parole board.
"So why is it that we are willing to believe what they said in 1991, but are not willing to believe what they have to say today," Moye said. "Most of (the witnesses) have recanted or contradicted their testimony and additional testimony has come forward to implicate this alternative suspect."
MacPhail's family has steadfastly asserted that Davis was the killer, and the district attorney who prosecuted Davis has maintained his position that Davis is guilty. He does not have much confidence in witness recantations.
"I'm just disappointed so many people have been led to believe nobody has paid attention to these recantations. It is simply not the case," former Chatham County District Attorney Spencer Lawton once told CNN affiliate WTOC. "On what grounds are the recantations more believable than the testimony in court? None."
Reviewing Davis' claims of innocence last year, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia found that Davis "vastly overstates the value of his evidence of innocence."
"Some of the evidence is not credible and would be disregarded by a reasonable juror," Judge William T. Moore wrote in a 172-page opinion. "Other evidence that Mr. Davis brought forward is too general to provide anything more than smoke and mirrors," the court found.

663,000 people need to find better ways to spend their time.

of the 663,000 . how many signed because they just are against the death penalty? How many signed because the dude is black – regardless if they think he did it? How may signatures were forged? (some always happens) How many didnt really know what they were signing or were misled about it?
Just asking questions.
I think it' time well spent when trying to prevent a wrongful death. ...And... how many of the 663,000 signed because they feel he is not guilty? "Just asking!"

I suspect there is really no new credible evidence. The appeals court has already ruled this in their 172 page opinion. However, all the liberal bleeding hearts out there without a shred of information about what they are talking are crying for his release.

"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." – Jesus, Matthew 5:38-39
It is sad to me that many of my fellow Christians are quick to quote the old testament when justifying ending a life, but ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ; the one we should be following.

Jesus was an evil cult leader that required his followers to hate their families and hate themselves (Luke 14:26). It's a good thing Jesus is imaginary and the bible is a book of lies and myths 🙂
I don't follow delusional fiction that is any religion. Common sense works much better.
Good to know there are mature people on CNN
So wait a second, Jesus says we should let evil people hurt and kill us and our loved ones?
Maybe that's why there are so many atheists...

They had me going until I got to the line that said Sharpton was involved. The credibility factor went down at that point. I don't know if he did or not. I wasn't there and I wasn't there during the trial to see the evidence. The only question I have is this: Are the witnesses that are now recanting being arrested for perjury and facing the HIGHEST charges possible ?
Why not lock up the pigs that threatened and scared the witnesses???
That too, Chucky, But I'm still not willing to let them off the hook for their perjured testimony, regardless of the reason.
For all those that say the DP don't work, look how desperate this man is to save his life. He has had 22 years to think about this. Now that he is close to death, look at all the activity. So, the hope is he is turned loose and then no charges brought against those that lied under oath sending an innocent man to death row? Just forget the whole thing. I bet the cop wishes he was so lucky.
Look at all the people that still murder! The death penalty doesn't work. People like you that support it are evil fascists and not any better than the murderers.
Saying that someone who is scared because they are about to die proves that the death penelty is a deterent is like saying that someone dying of lung cancer and being scared is a deterent to others who wish to smoke. The DS wasn't enough to deter the killer before he took the action. You logic is very faulty.

Hey Chucky, DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE NO ASBESTOS SUITS IN HELL???????
This just shows how odious and nefarious you are. You think just because I don't believe a book without evidence for it and mountains of evidence against it, that I deserve to be tortured. Furthermore, you believe that the majority of men, women, children and babies should be and will be tortured forever. You're sick, ignorant and evil. Peace & Love 🙂

American revenge justice, a failed system, at work.
Why do we continue our failed system of revenge justice? We have easily the worst criminal justice system i the 1st world.
It is not revenge, it is protecting the public from the criminally insane and irredeemable.
You could also look at killing psychopaths as doing them a big favor and relieving them of the voices in their head.
Guilty or not, convicted in 1989 should equal punishment in 1989.
biggins08
I used to think that the death penalty was a good thing. But the fact that some of these alleged perpetrators are on death row without much, if any, tangible physical evidence linking them to the crime is very troublesome. Couple that with the fact that many prosecutors tend to be a bit over the top with capital punishment trials (in order to make a name for themselves as being tough on crime), and that usually the defendants don't have enough money for a lawyer and have to rely on a state defense lawyer (there's a reason they are state lawyers and don't work for private law firms), and I really don't see any need for state sponsored capital punishment. Death is very quick and easy; a lifetime spent confined in prison, being assaulted and having to watch your back every second of every day for the rest of your life I think is an excellent punishment. And, to defray the cost to tax payers, the inmates should be forced to work and produce some kind of product the state can sell, or even just clean up along road sides or cut grass for the state. Helps them to learn some valuable skills on the odd chance they ever get out of prison again. And if the inmates refuse to work I'm sure the prisons have ways of making uncooperative inmates very cooperative. Most of these criminals understand that they could be killed out on the streets at any time (one of the cons to their line of work) and they are ok with that, because it's a quick death. Being locked up in a box with 3 other big sweaty guys that don't necessarily all get along for years on end would be much more stressful, and who knows, could make some criminals pause a bit and think before they go do something really stupid.
YeahThatsNice
I'm more disgusted at the fact that a conviction was reached in 1989 but it's taken until 2011 to kill the man. When it takes 22 years to execute someone after conviction, clearly something is wrong with your system.
Dboy009
What if it where you?
A white mother in North Carolina kills her 10 year old little girl and dismembers her body tells the court that she did it and gets 14 years in prison for not first degree but second degree murder. This guy shoots a cop with no real proof that he did it and is sentenced to the chair, talk about a white justice system.
Actually, data was reported in the USA Today that the death penalty saves between 4 and 13 lives per execution...so society does benefit. And even if one "innocent" person dies, more people live.
In this case however, they need to re-examine all of the new evidence as it is not called the "dirty south" for no reason.
For every one person on death row who may be innocent, there are MILLIONS of people who are harmed or killed by felons released because "they are redeemed". Why don't we have a look at the numbers of violent crimes committed by people who are set free after they received parole for "being good in jail"? Then compare that to the few who *might* have been executed wrongly.

Itachi debuts in Part I after the death of the Third Hokage, Konoha's protector, by infiltrating the village with Kisame. After drawing the attention of Konoha's forces Itachi reveals that, as part of Akatsuki's goal to capture the nine powerful tailed beasts, they are after Naruto Uzumaki for the nine-tailed demon fox sealed within him. During a scuffle with Konoha's ninja they discover that Naruto has left the village, and upon tracking him down find that he is under the protection of Jiraiya. Itachi sets up a distraction to draw Jiraiya away from Naruto and the two try to capture him. Sasuke, having heard that Itachi was back, intervenes, and Jiraiya soon returns as well. After briefly tormenting Sasuke for still being weak, Itachi and Kisame leave to avoid capture by Jiraiya. After Itachi's death in Part II, this entire visit to Konoha is revealed to have only been to make sure that the Third's death did not cause Konoha to forget their vow to protect Sasuke.
Itachi makes a brief appearance at the start of Part II, distracting Naruto and the rest of his team while Akatsuki seals one of the tailed beasts it has captured. Later, Itachi learns that Sasuke has absorbed Orochimaru, a man who defected from Konoha for in order to get strong enough to kill Itachi. Knowing that a stronger Sasuke is now coming for him, Itachi meets with Naruto. After his death he is revealed to have given some of his power to Naruto to be used to protect Sasuke and Konoha in case Sasuke ever attacks the village. Sasuke ultimately tracks him down and they have their final battle, during the course of which he uses his Mangekyo Sharingan to push Sasuke to his limits. In doing so, Orochimaru is drawn out from Sasuke's body, and Itachi seals him away to keep him from Sasuke before he dies of disease.
As his final act, Itachi implants his Amaterasu within Sasuke, meant as a failsafe that would kill Madara in case he ever approached Sasuke. Since this surprises Sasuke, Madara explains the truth of Itachi's past, what is claimed to be an unfounded mistrust of Madara, and that, even though Itachi had been dying of disease, he kept himself alive with drugs so that he could die by Sasuke's hands. Now knowing his long-hated brother to have led a tragic life because of Konoha's orders, Sasuke resolves to destroy the village, even though Itachi had gone to lengths to protect it.

Duane 'Dog' Chapman Tells His Kids 'I Should Have Been the One'
Billy Dukes
Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman says he wishes he had died before his wife, Beth Chapman, to spare his kids the grief they're experiencing now. They're not all doing well, Chapman admits in a new interview.
Speaking to People Now this week, Chapman reveals that some of Beth Chapman's children are "barely making it." The family wasn't prepared, and in reflecting upon the deaths of his own parents, he thinks he realized why. "The guy goes first," he says.
"I went to them and said, 'I'm so sorry that I didn't die first and mom did,'" the 66-year-old television stars says. "And they're like, 'Yeah dad, why?'"
Duane Chapman says he wished his own father would have died before his mother. He figures that would have made the grief easier to deal with afterward. It's been two months since Beth Chapman died following a cancer battle. She has four children, two with Duane Chapman. They range in age from 18 to 34. Together they're trying to pick up her responsibilities.
"They are helping cook, because Beth was a fantastic cook," Dog shares. "I am doing their laundry, I'm vacuuming, making my own bed. So I don't wanna lie, they do nothing. They're kids. It's just, 'Dad's there, he can do it.'"
Slowly the family has started to do interviews in the wake of the 51-year-old's death and two public memorials. Part of it is a matter of getting back to work. The first season of a new reality television show called Dog's Most Wanted begins on Sept. 4 on WGN. During the series fans will be able to follow Beth Chapman's cancer battle. It's not clear if her death is part of Season 1 or not, but in speaking of the show and her death, Duane Chapman has indicated he's felt her presence while chasing fugitives.
"I'm not afraid to die anymore," Duane Chapman told TV Insider. "I told my camera crew after she (died), 'If something happens to me, you'd better get that shot.' They're like, 'Boss, we will.' I'm not afraid to die now, because I know where I'm going and who I'll get to see again."

UK LCV sales off for third month as election looms
UK new light commercial vehicle (LCV) registrations fell 9.6% year on year in November, the third consecutive monthly decline, according to Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) data.
Market uncertainty and regulatory changes continued to affect performance, with some 2,797 fewer models registered in the month as all van categories and 4x4s experienced double digit declines.
In November, registrations of small vans weighing less than 2.0 tonnes and medium vans weighing 2.0-2.5 tonnes fell by 24% and 19.4% respectively.
Demand for larger vans weighing 2.5-3.5 tonnes also declined, down 11.4%, and the 4x4 segment fell too, down 12.4%, while pickups were the only category to see growth, up 17.2%.
Performance in the year to date was still up, however, rising 1.9%, with an extra 6,451 new LCVs joining UK roads.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: "A third consecutive month of decline for new van registrations is concerning, particularly after growth for much of the year."
The SMMT believes political uncertainty as the UK headed for a general election on 12 December was one reason for the decline.

Q: Can I bind some macro-postprocessing to an Emacs abbreviation? I'm trying to create "smart" abbreviations that expand to some text and then move the cursor. E.g., in C mode I'd like INC to expand to #include <> with the cursor between the <> signs. Or, in HTML mode: BF expanded to <b></b> with the cursor at the right spot.
What's a smart way of going about this (short of defining functions for all this and binding them to a key, which I don't want to do, because I'd prefer abbreviations)?

A: I would heartily recommend Yasnippets. It seems to be designed to do exactly what you want.

*

*EmacsWiki: Yasnippet

*ErgoEmacs summary of Yasnippet

*Yasnippet on GitHub
You can install it through Elpa as well.

A: I think what you are looking for is this:

hippie-expand is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
  `hippie-exp.el'. It is bound to M-pause. (hippie-expand arg)
Try to expand text before point, using multiple methods. The expansion
  functions in hippie-expand-try-functions-list' are tried in order,
  until a possible expansion is found.  Repeated application of
  hippie-expand' inserts successively possible expansions. With a
  positive numeric argument, jumps directly to the arg next function in
  this list.  With a negative argument or just C-u, undoes the
  expansion.
[back]

It is bound to M-pause on my system, probably not on yours yet.

A: Define abbrev. Than
M-x edit-abbrevs RET
Fourth slot receives a function. For example write:
(lambda nil (forward-char -1))

in order to move backwards one char after expansion.


The European witch-hunts were over, but in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries witchcraft was re-examined, re-interpreted and re-invented. We explore the role of the Golden Dawn, Aradia, Aleister Crowley and Margaret A. Murray.
The European witch-hunts were over, but witchcraft and the idea of witchcraft would never die out. In the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries witchcraft was re-examined, re-interpreted and, ultimately, re-invented.
The fear of magic that resulted in the witch-hunts had always been accompanied by an interest in, if not a fascination with, magic. Even whilst witches were rounded up in their hundreds for trial and execution, people practised the forbidden art, cunningmen and wise-women in the lower strata of society, astrologers and alchemist in the upper levels. Even as Elizabeth I passed her own Witchcraft Act she consulted with her court astrologer and magical adept John Dee. As the Inquisitors' fires guttered and went out, as the judges turned sceptic and the torturers found themselves unemployed there arose a great fascination and intrigue with the secret mystical society.
Rosicrucians, Illuminati and Freemasons congregated to work their secret rites, drawing royal, noble and common alike into their ranks. The danger of such associations diminished rapidly as the judge's gravel came down on the last witch trials, but the thrill was undeniably attractive, the promise just as compelling.
