The Legal Personality of Rivers
EMA Human Rights Blog
By Bronagh Kieran
Lately, the legal personality of rivers has been considered in several jurisdictions. In India, the High Court recognised the legal personality of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in March 2017 however, this decision was overturned in July 2017.[1] Contrastingly, the Whanganui river was recognised as a living entity in New Zealand in March 2017 by way of legislature.[2]
To the sceptical among us, this may seem like an outrageous development: how can a river be a legal person? Does that mean that you could hypothetically be sued by a river? Can a river represent itself in court? The short answer is yes.
The long answer however, lies further upstream. Over the course of this article I will provide evidence to show as to why this seemingly ridiculous development would in fact lead to advances not only for the welfare of rivers, but also for human rights. Moreover, I will aim to demonstrate that granting legal personality to rivers is compatible with existing jurisprudence.
"When legal personality is granted to rivers, however, certain 'best-placed' persons are enabled to represent the interest of the river."
An outstanding problem faced by environmental litigators is that they often sue on the basis of rights that can only be invoked by persons with standing (locus standi). In other words, cases can only be brought by those who have been personally affected or where the person affected is unable to represent themselves. This restricts many environmental cases from being brought. When legal personality is granted to rivers, however, certain "best-placed"[3] persons are enabled to represent the interest of the river.
Another issue is that remedies provided in cases relating to rivers (for example, river pollution) tend to be focused on human needs; and the injury or loss to the river itself may not be remedied or compensated for. One aim of granting rivers legal personality is to transcend anthropocentric approaches to environmental law. Daly explains that:
"the key question has become how to best represent the environment in court, and how to frame the legal challenges to deliver 'judicial protection of nature for the sake of nature itself".[4]
Why is it important for the interest of the river itself to be promoted? My belief is that it is a part of a wider necessary paradigm shift. As it stands, natural entities (be they rivers, mountains or forests) are often viewed as a series of tools to be used for human advantage. In the process of using these natural tools, we exploit them, and in the long-run this exploitation results in catastrophic disaster for the planet, vulnerable humans, and other animals. Realistically, I'm not sure that it is possible for a judge to be so impartial as to divorce themselves from anthropocentrism, but nonetheless, the legal fiction of personhood may go some way towards allowing for consideration of the interests of natural entities in Court. It marks a move from merely viewing humans as benevolent stewards to viewing natural entities as holders of invokable rights.
The argument for granting natural entities legal standing is often traced back to Stone's seminal paper from 1972 Should Trees Have Standing? Stone argued that it is perfectly reasonable to grant the natural environment legal standing, writing:
"Now, to say that the natural environment should have rights is not to say anything as silly as that no one should be allowed to cut down a tree. We say human beings have rights, but-at least as of the time of this writing – they can be executed. Corporations have rights, but they cannot plead the fifth amendment; In re Gault gave 15-year-olds certain rights in juvenile proceedings, but it did not give them the right to vote."[5]
This argument reinforces the view that legal personality is not an all-or-nothing concept. It can be used to the extent that it is useful in reflecting the obligations and rights that apply to an entity. For example, in many jurisdictions legal personhood has been granted to companies, because this lessens the risk of personal liability for those involved in setting up enterprise; yet a company is not able to claim human rights such as the right to marriage. Legal personality has also been granted to other entities such as non-profit organisations, religious groups, and even a deity in India.[6] Despite the proliferation of legal personality, it had not been applied to nature. That is, until recently.
"The river can sue and be sued by appointed guardians on its behalf."
The Whanganui river is sacred to the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand and is home to large Maori villages before European colonisation. In March 2017, after years of campaigning, the river was granted its own legal identity, allowing it to be considered a legal person through legislation.[7] Under this new status, if the river is harmed, there is no distinction between harm upon the tribe or the river in law. The river can sue and be sued by appointed guardians on its behalf.
Not only does this law validate respect for the indigenous population, and set a precedent for other environmental justice disputes especially those involving indigenous tribes (such as North American reservations), it establishes a whole new perspective on our relationship with the environment and nature.
In India, developments faced more legal hurdles. In March 2017, a Uttarakhand High Court recognised the legal personhood of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers on both environmental and religious grounds.[8] The rivers were given the status of a legal minor and the Court appointed the Uttarakhand Chief Secretary and the Advocate General of the State of Uttarakhand as guardians of the rivers, in loco parentis.
Ultimately, the Supreme Court rejected this High Court decision because of implementation problems.[9] One problem is that the river Ganges flows through West Bengal before it reaches Uttarakhand, so holding the guardians in Uttarakhand responsible for looking after the interests of the river doesn't make sense, as it could already be polluted upstream.
This area of jurisprudence may be expanding and the sources listed below include further incidences where the legal personhood of natural entities has been considered. Notwithstanding the varied success of these incidences, the New Zealand example shines a light on how clear and specific guidelines can allow for more comprehensive protection of natural entities and indigenous peoples' rights.

Introducing Building Remotely
We've had plans at SafetyWing to build a comprehensive guide for building (and scaling) a thriving remote company for a while now, long before the COVID-19 pandemic came along, and forced much of the world into remote work. The result is that the potential benefits and challenges of remote work have compounded.
Starting and running a remote company, like most wonderful things in life, is not all smooth sailing. Particularly if you have taken your company remote, you know this to be true. The good news is that we currently sit at the biggest inflection points of potential opportunity within remote work. If you're reading this, you've basically just arrived in California right at the start of the gold rush. Fortunately, there is still plenty of time to get a head start.
You can do this by applying their strategies, and executing on it well. After all, remote work is exploding, but it isn't new. Founders, leaders and entrepreneurs have been learning and experimenting for decades. Remote work is a powerful tool, and hence there is an undeniable learning curve. Building Remotely looks to minimize that challenge. Whether you are just starting your company, or have decided to let your entire team continue working remotely after lockdown, Building Remotely is your new source of truth for remote work.
Why are we building this project?
The long term mission of SafetyWing isn't just about insurance. It's about building a social safety net, and eventually a country on the internet. SafetyWing is dedicated to the expansion of the global remote work community. We believe in the power of remote work to reshape our individual lives, as well as the larger social world.
Sourcing remote wisdom—the podcast
The project is starting with a podcast, featuring SafetyWing's CEO, Sondre Rasch, as the host. In each episode, Sondre invites an innovative founder or leader within the remote world to shed some light on their tactics and ideas. Together, they discuss strategies around building a healthy and thriving remote culture, collaborating remotely, how to attract the best talent and so much more.
There is a lot of information out there about remote work. Most of it is not well researched, some is good, and almost none is excellent. That's why we are focusing on original content that our guests haven't discussed before. We will explore practical ways you can improve your company, and discuss high level predictions of where the new remote world is headed, so that you can best orient yourself for a thriving future.
Our first guest, Andreas Klinger, is the Head of Remote at AngelList. In our launch episode, he and Sondre outline how to find your company's role, both during and after the crisis. They also touch on things like why this is the perfect time to start a new business, and healthy mental models for thinking about the future. Our second episode will feature Darren Murph, Head of Remote at GitLab.
Providing resources you can use
Along the way, we aim to continue providing tools that help remote companies thrive, and non-remote companies make the transition. We want to help solo entrepreneurs quickly climb any learning curves that many have struggled with already. At the same time, the world is presenting new and unforeseen challenges. That is why we always want to hear your feedback and what you are currently dealing with.
Shortly after the podcast launch, we will produce a blog resource with tools, tips and discussions that can be readily applied to your projects, companies and teams. We have partnered with numerous leading remote companies to bring a unique library you can dive into whenever you encounter a challenge. Eventually, we hope to expand this into an engaging community. What are you currently struggling with? Send an email to sam@safetywing.com
The Building Remotely Book
As mentioned in the beginning, the ultimate goal of this project is to create a comprehensive guide to building a thriving remote company. We will be collecting the knowledge from our podcast, the resource center and a number of researchers to compile the best information into a book (for both digital reading and physical print).
Separate from the other project components, the book will focus on more foundational, timeless information about starting and scaling a remote company. We will release the chapters on the buildingremotely.com website as they come. Once completed, the book will be published and available in 2021.
For now, we encourage you to listen to our first Building Remotely podcast episode, and subscribe to future updates! We'll be notifying our community about new podcast episodes, resources and book chapters as they're released. We're incredibly excited to change the world with remote work alongside our community.

Joe Kay: "Music is the only thing that never did me wrong" | 'No Sleeping In The Trophy Room'
In the series premiere of "No Sleeping In The Trophy Room," Soulection Co-founder Joe Kay recalls going from an "annoying young kid" to a Forbes 30 under 30 honoree.
By Lauren "Bobby Pen" Williams
S1 E1 | Joe Kay
"No Sleeping in the Trophy Room" is REVOLT's digital series hosted by Carlos Del Valle. This sit-down style show is a conversation series fueled by motivation, experience and truth, where Del Valle interviews successful individuals across different industries.
Technology and music go hand-in-hand. Whether discussing the evolution of woodwind instruments or cassette tapes, the progression of technology plays a huge role in how we consume the tunes we love. Think about it. When was the last time you found yourself singing a song you only recognized because of the latest TikTok dance challenge?
Before social media, one music executive began the groundwork to build a startup that would become a fully operational, international music platform that provided opportunity to artists and producers — and he did this while still a college student.
Joe Kay talks betting on yourself and co-founding Soulection
Most fans of Soulection were likely first pulled in by the "vibey" sounds of familiar, yet distinct mixes of artists. This was intentional, as Joe is most attracted to the party feeling music can provide, especially the sounds from the 90s. Growing up, he studied "The Golden Era of Hip-Hop and R&B" from his parents playing Sade, DMX, JAY-Z and Erykah Badu at home. He recalls family gatherings in Los Angeles feeling like old Tupac music videos. Today, Joe aims to capture that same feeling in his mixes, live events and radio shows.
"Music is the only thing that never did me wrong. I always count on music," he tells host Los Antonio. "There's a song and there's a moment for everything. So, that's why music is really life for me. For sure."
Joe always knew that music was his passion, but he wasn't always sure how it would manifest into a career. He didn't play any instruments and neither did his parents. But, his interest in radio became his way in. As Joe approached his freshman year in college, he made the bold move to trust his instinct to broadcast and started a podcast to showcase emerging artists and beatmakers between classes. In fact, Joe began to fall behind in school because he prioritized "digging" for music over doing his homework, which caused him to repeat classes.
Joe's advantage in music curation comes from growing up as music technology evolved more rapidly than ever. His podcast became known for its quick and comprehensive turnaround. Some mixes — two to three hours long — featured 20 releases with over 100 tracks all mixed together seamlessly. He said, "It's about taking something, being impulsive, and sharing it with the world." The digital age certainly helped fuel this urgency.
Now, you'd turn to Tidal or YouTube for an exclusive drop. But, at that time, while iTunes did exist, it was not streaming based. In the early 2000s, fans would have to watch MTV or BET to hear a song for the first time.
At 18 years old, Joe bought his first turntables in appreciation for vinyl, but he also began collecting rare music digitally. He'd find unreleased edits, remixes or cool new beats from LimeWire or MySpace Music, then SoundCloud and BandCamp. Joe's podcast gained 30,000 subscribers in its first year, making him a go-to staple in underground music.
Los Antonio talks "No Sleeping In The Trophy Room," his personal career path, and wanting to motivate
He looks back: "If you were making some fire beats and you dropped something yesterday, it's unlikely you'll press it on vinyl. So, you'd send it to me on a file, I get it on the spot and spin on the fly." Then, Joe would promote it on MySpace and through blog posts.
His loyal fanbase continued to grow and followed him to a new platform that would revolutionize the music industry: Soulection. The name is a play on Joe's careful attention to hand-curating each playlist.
"The trust that people give Soulection comes from everything being hands-on. Every live show, every artist that we've released music with, every post on social media and merch is handpicked," Joe said.
In 2011, he launched the Soulection platform at a college radio show at Long Beach State. He had just transferred from community college, but the success of his podcast was proof of concept for a "proper" radio show. The university station he petitioned for during orientation helped him build a new identity.
Overtime, people got so inspired by his dedication to Soulection. This is when Joe made a pivot into a businessman, as he learned the skills to take him to the next level. He had to learn how to delegate tasks, and put trust in others. He had to learn to communicate more effectively with external partners and artists to gain more respect.
Now, Soulection Radio has over 430 shows. Making use of his passion for music, knack for figuring out digital platforms, and on-demand and playback technology early on, Kay was able to build a growing empire to educate and giveback to the artist who just needed to be heard.
Check out the "No Sleeping In The Trophy Room" playlist Joe Kay created below. It's a vibe.

ARE YOU AT RISK?
Hereford & Worcs
Living Well Taking Control (LWTC) has been delivering the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) throughout Derbyshire since 1st December 2020. We are the only non-profit national provider and have been proudly delivering the programme since its inception in 2016. During this time we've worked across more than 24 locations of England to support patients at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
About the Healthier You Programme
Eligible patients referred onto the Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme will be invited to participate in a 9 month intervention aimed at reducing their diabetes risk level. Patients have a choice of accessing the programme in a face-to-face peer group setting alongside participants from their community, or by 1-2-1 app-based coaching provided by our digital partner Liva Healthcare. An identical curriculum is delivered regardless of the pathway chosen by the service user.
Patients will be able to remotely join group sessions using the Internet or by telephone whilst Covid-19 social distancing measures are in place. The patient's Coach will support them in making sure they can access the sessions. Where necessary hardcopy materials will be sent out to the patient to avoid them being disadvantaged.
Our patient leaflet is available to download HERE.
While Type 2 diabetes is a serious condition, with support around three in five cases of Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by maintaining a healthy weight, eating well and being active. This programme aims to improve service users' knowledge, ability and confidence to make better lifestyle choices, helping them towards:
A healthier diet
Better exercise
Emotional wellbeing and ways to manage stress
The main mechanism for referring to the NHS DPP is directly through the General Practice clinical system. Our referral form template is available on your clinical system. We also support a range of other referral pathways to support primary care in referring eligible patients:
Retrospective case finding: When a register of eligible patients has been identified through the clinical system. We can accommodate both single instances and bulk referrals.
Open sessions: Targeted outreach to work with practices to encourage referral generation. Health Care Professionals would also be welcome to attend open sessions for their own benefit and understanding of the service offer.
Self-referral: Up to the end of September 2021, members of the public can complete an online tool which scores their diabetes risk level based upon factors including age, ethnicity, and BMI. Those eligible for the programme who are found to be at high risk can refer themselves by completing an online form. Individuals test their diabetes risk level on the LWTC website here: https://www.lwtcsupport.co.uk/know-your-risk-tool
For support on referring, please contact us at info@lwtcsupport.co.uk
The patient is aged 18 and over at the time of referral
The patient is not pregnant at the time of referral
The patient has 'Non-Diabetic Hyperglycaemia' (NDH) identified by blood test within 24 months of referral
HbA1c of 42-47mmol/mol or fasting plasma glucose of 5.5-6.9mmol/l; or has a history of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and normoglycaemia (HbA1c < 42 mmol/mol (< 6.0%) or FPG < 5.5mmol/l)
Referral toolkit
We have also created a referral toolkit to assist you with identifying eligible service users and referring them to our programme.

Q: performSelector with more than 2 objects Is there a way to call [anObject performSelector]; with more than 2 objects?  I know you can use an array to pass multiple arguments, but I was wondering if there was a lower level way to call a function I already have defined with more that 2 arguments without using a helper function with an nsarray of arguments.

A: Either (1) Use an NSInvocation or (2) directly use objc_msgSend.
objc_msgSend(target, @selector(action:::), arg1, arg2, arg3);

(Note: make sure all arguments are id's, otherwise the arguments might not be sent correctly.)

A: You can extend the NSObject class like this:
- (id) performSelector: (SEL) selector withObject: (id) p1
       withObject: (id) p2 withObject: (id) p3
{
    NSMethodSignature *sig = [self methodSignatureForSelector:selector];
    if (!sig)
        return nil;

    NSInvocation* invo = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:sig];
    [invo setTarget:self];
    [invo setSelector:selector];
    [invo setArgument:&p1 atIndex:2];
    [invo setArgument:&p2 atIndex:3];
    [invo setArgument:&p3 atIndex:4];
    [invo invoke];
    if (sig.methodReturnLength) {
        id anObject;
        [invo getReturnValue:&anObject];
        return anObject;
    }
    return nil;
}

(See NSObjectAdditions from the Three20 project.) Then you could even extend the above method to use varargs and nil-terminated array of arguments, but that's overkill.

A: An additional option, when you require to send multiple objects with performSelector is (if it's easy enough to do) to amend the method you wish to call to take an NSDictionary object instead of multiple parameters, as you'll be able to send as many as you like within the dictionary.
For example
I had a method similar to this which had 3 arguments and I needed to call it from performSelector -
-(void)getAllDetailsForObjectId:(NSString*)objId segment:(Segment*)segment inContext:(NSManagedObjectContext*)context{

I changed this method to make use of a dictionary to store the arguments
-(void)getAllDetailsForObject:(NSDictionary*)details{

therefore I was able to call the method easily
[self performSelector:@selector(getAllDetailsForObject:) withObject:@{Your info stored within a dictionary}];

Thought I'd be as well sharing this as an alternative option as it works for me.
Cheers

In the event that your property fails the perc test, you still have other options. Your Frank's Pumping contractor can go over these options with you.
How Is a Percolation Test Done?
Excavate a hole 300mm square to a depth 250mm below the proposed invert level of the land drain.
Fill the 300mm square section of the hole with water to a depth of 250mm (minimum) and allow the water to seep away overnight. The following day, refill the test section with water to a depth of at least 250mm and observe the time taken, in seconds, for the water to seep away completely.
Divide the time by the depth (mm) of water in the hole. The answer gives the average time required for the water to drop 1mm (Vp in s). The test should not be done during abnormal weather conditions such as heavy rain, severe frost or drought.
This test should be carried out at least three times, with at least two trial holes. The average figure from the tests should be taken.

The Veenstra Law Firm P.L.L.C.
Attorney Samuel W. Veenstra
Health concerns after later-in-life divorce
On behalf of The Veenstra Law Firm P.L.L.C. | Sep 24, 2018 | Divorce |
An increasing number of older couples in Texas and across the country are choosing to divorce. While the divorce rate remains twice as high among younger couples, it has doubled since 1990 for people age 50 and older. At the same time, the rate has remained steady or even slightly declined for younger couples. People at any age can divorce successfully and move on to a happy single life, but it can be particularly important for people who divorce later in life to take care of their health.
The Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory is a tool that measures the likelihood of a stress-induced health breakdown in relation to significant life events; divorce ranks second on that scale. While stress can affect people at any age, it can be a particular concern for seniors who are already dealing with other medical issues. When people over 50 decide to divorce, especially those who have already entered retirement age, there can be some particular physical and psychological health concerns to monitor. Depression, anxiety and chronic stress are common responses to divorce. These can also affect other physical conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes.
There are a number of factors that have contributed to the rise in "gray divorces." People are living longer and healthier lives. In fact, many seniors are on their second or third marriages, which are more likely to end in divorce. Furthermore, women are more financially independent and less likely to remain in bad marriages due to money concerns.
When spouses over 50 decide to divorce, they may be concerned about the financial implications, especially in regard to retirement plans. A family law attorney can provide detailed information about the effects of property division and advocate strongly for a fair settlement in terms of the division of assets, spousal support and other issues.

ADDISON, Texas (Jan. 15, 2019) – Dillon Gage Metals, one of the world's largest precious metals wholesale firms and industry-leading technology innovator, is bullish on the price of palladium, which recently broke through the $1,342 an ounce level of resistance.
While most precious metals investors are wooed by the attention of gold, palladium can often be an overlooked asset. However, its widespread use in the automotive field, the majority of which is used in emission-reducing catalytic converters for gasoline-powered cars, leaves it susceptible to varying degrees of supply and demand. On Wednesday, Jan. 9, palladium hit an all-time high.
The demand for palladium has been on an upswing since the Chinese government recently announced the exploration of policies designed to increase domestic buying of automobiles. According to Dillon Gage Metals' spot price index, palladium is currently trading at $1,337/oz. Owning palladium in its physical form is advantageous to equity-based assets due to liquidity, portability and the flexibility to buy or sell in smaller quantities.

(Bloomberg) — Stericycle Inc., the medical-waste management company, agreed to buy document-destruction provider Shred-It International Inc. for $2.3 billion in cash to expand services to businesses seeking to comply with regulations.
The acquisition means Shred-It will scrap its plan to raise about $465 million in an initial public offering that was to be Canada's largest this year. The company, owned by investors including Toronto-based buyout firm Birch Hill Equity Partners, had received takeover interest earlier this year from document-management company Recall Holdings Ltd.
The deal will boost cash earnings per share by at least 10 percent in 2016, Stericycle said Wednesday in a statement. The companies will be able to reap as much as $30 million in savings by combining, it said.
Stericycle will continue to be based in Lake Forest and doesn't plan to use the acquisition to move its headquarters for tax purposes, a maneuver known as an inversion, according to a spokeswoman.
The company helps hospitals, doctor's offices and drugmakers dispose of medical and hazardous waste, with more than 600,000 customers worldwide, according to its annual report. Stericycle has been expanding that business through international acquisitions, with 15 in the first quarter alone to add $42.5 million in annual sales.
Shred-It was established in 1988 as one of the first paper shredding companies in the world, according to its website. The company offers services to about 400,000 customers in 18 countries and has a fleet of about 2,400 trucks, according to a filing this month.
Shred-It has also grown through acquisitions, including last year's purchase of Iron Mountain's international secure shredding business in the U.K., Ireland and Australia and its combination with Cincinnati-based Cintas Corp.'s document shredding business.
