Good morning! I am up bright & early this morning, with a to-do list nearly a mile long. Our first visitor [Justin's mom!] arrives tomorrow, so the apartment has a couple of finishing touches needed, like a good vacuum. Also, we have a moving company coming to give us an estimate later this morning, for our move to Greenville [which I'm soon going to share more about!]. Those things things will probably keep me pretty busy, but I also need to get a workout in there somewhere... Let's kick everything off with another installment of Weekly Wishes.
1. Get caught up with Bible reading. Well, I have finally gotten caught back up, & I am vowing to never fall quite so far behind ever again. Reading the Bible has become such a peaceful, relaxing part of my day, & I look forward to having the entire thing read by next March.
2. Sort & store all of our photos. This did not happen. I don't know why I have such a block against this particular project, but that doesn't change the fact that I need to get it done before my computer decides to crash again.
3. Take some time out to relax. Mission accomplished! Last week was pretty great: the perfect combination of relaxation & productivity. I'm hoping for another week just like it.
1. Keep the house neat & tidy. With a clean house under our belts, it's important to me to keep it that way. I've really been taking pride in our place, & simple joys like that should always be appreciated.
2. Work out every single day. I've been doing really well with this, & I want to keep it up.
3. Write & read a little bit every day. My novel, my journals, books, blogs, blog posts... there is a lot to be written & read this week.

Want to join me in blogging every day in June? The more the merrier. I even made a button to celebrate the occasion. Feel free to use it in your blog sidebar or in the body of your posts. Let's encourage one another to get back to our blogging roots. Happy blogging!
It sounds like you had a productive week last week! It's great that you were also able to take the time you needed to relax. Good luck with your goals this week!
Glad that your workout goal is sticking strong! Good luck!
Exactly! Maintaining is so much easier than getting there, to me. It's motivating to know that it's already DONE, I've just got to keep it that way. I'm sure that it is feeling amazing to focus on your workouts, because that's what I've been doing, & I just feel so much better at the end of each day.
It was very productive :) This week is shaping up to be good, too!
Thank you so much! I hope your week is going really well!

Volkswagen ID.5 GTX Review
Price: £57,000 (est)
The ID.5 is a good-looking coupe version of the ID.4 SUV. The GTX version isn't as sporty as promised, though, and rivals have a lot more performance.
E-Rating™: A
Max charge rate: 125 kW
Driven and reviewed by Electrifying.com・ Published: 21/09/2021・Updated: 14/10/2022
"I'm not sure I get the whole coupe SUV thing - you are paying more money for a less practical car. Still, the ID.5 does look pretty good and it still has a huge amount of space. "
"Volkswagen's sleeker version of the Passat - called the Arteon - is a really good looking car. The ID.5 isn't quite as drastic a transformation from the ID.4 but it's still a stylish alternative for anyone who doesn't want to go for a full SUV."
It's always been pretty straightforward in Wolfsburg, the home of Volkswagen. In VW's rule book, SUVs were large and practical. While BMW, Mercedes and Audi all followed the trend of trying to turn off-roaders into swoopy coupes, Volkswagen steered clear of such frippery.
That was then, though. Now Volkswagen is leaving no stone unturned in the race to win sales in the world of SUVs, and in particular electric SUVs. This, the ID.5, is not just the firm's first electric coupe-SUV but its first coupe-SUV in general. But is VW a bit late to the party and does the new ID.5 impress? We grabbed the keys to a pre-production GTX prototype, finished in garish camouflage, to find out.
The first thing to mention is the coupe-SUV is ID.4 SUV launched earlier this year. The new ID.5, arriving in the UK in early 2022, becomes the third model in VW's ID pure-electric range, and it also has the task of spearheading Volkswagen's new sporty range of electric models, badged GTX.
Just as you'd expect, there are few visual differences between the ID.4 and the ID.5 save the roofline. While the ID.4's roof extends in a gradual curve to maximise rear headroom and boot space, the ID.5's steeply slopes downwards in a more traditionally coupe-like fashion. The rear window is more raked, too, and there's a neat integrated rear spoiler. Coupe-SUVs can sometimes look a little dumpy, but the ID.5 is rather good looking in our eyes.
The sloping roofline doesn't impact too much on interior space, either. While there's noticeably less headroom than the family-friendly ID.4, there's still plenty of it, and VW has been clever with the packaging. Six-foot passengers can slide the rear seats forwards ahead of where the roof really starts to steeply drop down, meaning their heads don't brush the roof too much. And thanks to the ID.5's long wheelbase, even when the seats are slid forwards, there's still plenty of kneeroom.
While the body is different, the two SUVs are identical underneath. The ID.5 we drove was in range-topping GTX trim, so it gets a pair of electric motors – a 201bhp motor for the rear axle, and that's paired with a 107bhp motor for the front wheels, making the GTX four-wheel drive. In total there's a pretty punchy 295bhp, which is good compared to other Volkswagen ID models, but pretty tame compared to the Tesla Model Y Performance (expected to be around 450bhp) and the 480bhp on offer in the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT.
In contrast to the ID.4, the ID.5 is likely to be arriving in the UK first in GTX guise. GTX is VW's new electric sporty badge – an electric GTI, supposedly – and will have the task of converting petrolheads to the benefits of electric performance motoring. Thanks to those two electric motors, the ID.5 GTX is very quick to accelerate and feels quicker than its claimed 6.2 seconds 0-62mph sprint time.
Just like with the ID.4, VW has also fitted a Vehicle Dynamics Manager which tweaks the electronic differentials to aid fast cornering, and it does a good job. Like its SUV sister, the ID.5 is quick to change direction and goes around corners in a balanced way, backed up by accurate, if slightly numb-feeling, steering.
Most of the time the ID.5 GTX disguises its two-tonne weight very well, but for those people expecting GTI-like agility and balance, the GTX does sometimes get caught out when driven quickly and feels heavy. No amount of electric trickery can make two tonnes disappear. It's for this reason we'd expect lower powered, non-GTX models with rear-wheel drive to make more sense, as just like with the ID.4, the standard models are more than good enough and the GTX doesn't do enough to show its sporty colours.
The GTX's two electric motors are fed by a 77kWh battery, giving a 308-mile range – that's 10 miles better than the ID.4 GTX's range, which goes to show just what a more aerodynamic body shape can do. However, what's not so good is the ID.5's 125kW maximum charging rate which allows 186 miles of range to be added in 30 minutes. Hyundai and Kia with their 800-volt hardware simply embarrass the ID.5 in this area and can add far more range in the same time period.
Volkswagen hasn't confirmed prices for the GTX variant or, indeed, the complete UK line-up, but we would imagine there will be a £1,700 premium over the ID.4. That means the GTX could cost around £57,000 which is a lot of money. But who said a coupe-SUV is good value for money?

So, I fnally finished this bag I'm giving to my best friend for Christmas. It's not that it was hard I just kept changing what size I wanted the bag to be and started over three times. I still need to add some decoration to the outside of the bag but here it is.
I got the pattern from somewhere on Ravelry. I got my invite two months ago and love it. So many projects now.
I love this bag! On my monitor the lining peeking through looks like beading, which would be a fun option as well. Very pretty.
Pretty! Was that beading or lining?
I'm glad you guys like it. There's no beading it's just the lining, the fabric has little white flowers on it.
It's very easy to make and easy to modify when it comes to size and handles and such.
Was the lining hard to do? I am halfway done with a purse and want to add lining, but I am a little afraid I will mess up my crochet.
Very nice! I love how the lining shows through the spaces in the crochet.
That link does not work, do you have a log in or something to get this pattern.
Thanks I was wondering what happened.
LOVE IT AFTER LOOKING AT 50 OR MORE HOBO BAGS THIS IS IT!!!!!!!

Super Rugby Preview, Round 17, part 1
A mixed bag of rugby clashes this week, with some must-win at all costs intermingled with some, who gives a flying firetrucks. If last week proves anything it's that any team can beat any other team on the day, as shown by surprise victories to the Chiefs and Brumbies.
Special Maverick thumbs up to Matt Giteau for opting to take a penalty shot at goals in the dying seconds and thus deny the Reds a bonus point.
When asked for comment he may or may not have had this to say "There is no place for favours in this tournament. Greater good of Aussie Rugby be damned and such". Struth mate!
Chiefs vs Hurricanes
New Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett has controversially excluded Ma'a Nonu and current captain Andrew Hore from next season's squad, saying they are surplus to requirements. Interestingly both are included in this week's starting 15. I am not sure I agree with his coaching methods but who am I to judge.
The Chiefs are coming off a good victory over the Blues and the Canes recently beat a spirited Lions side, albeit with the aid of some forward passes and blind officiating. Unhappiness in the camp of the Canes and home ground advantage both point to a solid Chiefs victory on Fri morning.
Kick-Off: Fri, 9:35am
Prediction: Chiefs by 5-10
Brumbies vs Rebels
The Rebels surprisingly beat the Brumbies when these teams first met at the start of the competition at home but have looked dreadful in the last few games. Boozer Cipriani is back in the team though and should bring some creativity to the backline, taking over from Julian Huxley, who had a mare of a game against the Stormers.
The Brumbies played with heart, purpose and a determined defense to beat the Reds last week and will be looking to build on that in this game. The Rebels are capable of an upset here but I would not put money on it. Meaning you probably should.
Prediction: Brumbies by 14
Crusaders vs Blues
This game is going to be worth waking up for. The winner will move to the top of the Kiwi conference and the loser may well find themselves in danger of having to win their last game just to make the play-offs. Traditionally a big derby anyway, this promises to be a classic. Captain Charming, McCaw is injured again (sheesh, do some stretches before you play, man) but is replaced by the impressive Matt Todd.
The Blues are on a bit of a losing streak and will need to rediscover that early season form and fast. Stephen Brett vs Dan Carter and Corey Flynn vs Kevin Mealamu will be match ups to look out for. The Crusaders are coming off a bye which can lead to erratic performances but they should have the measure over a faltering Blues side.
Venue: Alpine Energy Stadium, Timaru
Prediction: Crusaders by less than 7
Waratahs vs Highlanders
Huge game for both these sides. HUGE. The Highlanders have done themselves no favours with losses to the Lions and then the Force but are still in with an outside chance. It is never easy winning in Sydney however and unlike last week, will need to convert all of the scoring opportunities that come their way.
The Tahs were unlucky to have a man red-carded against the Bulls as they looked to have the momentum in the match up until then. It was a piss poor call from the ironically name PRO Legoeta, who has been suspended from future officiating duties and all in all it may well cost them the game. Maybe he should change his name to Amateur Legoeta. I thank you. Kurtely Tache Beal once again had a blinder and is looking in fine form for the Tri-Nations and RWC later this year. This should be a great game with the home side sneaking a close one.
Venue: Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney
Prediction: Waratahs by less than 7

Lithuania is one of the few countries where nature shows its best side. The meadows, the lush greenery, the refreshing climate welcome you to the land of churches and castles.
The tourism in Lithuania has been fast catching up in the recent past as trend to visit natural refreshing forests and age old castles is on high. There are many beautiful old towns in Lithunia that have got recognition from UNESCO Heritage. Visiting these towns is one of the best things that any person who visits Lithuania on a tourism basis can do.
Spending time at the Baltic Sea coast is a refreshing feeling. This is one place where people flock to, especially in summer to enjoy the glimpse of green sea and white clean sand.
Also, the country side tourism is most preferable when in Lithuania. The rich flora and fauna is another attraction in Lithuania. It is no exaggeration to mention that nearly 400 country side tourism homesteads exist in Lithuania. In fact, there are nearly 1000 sites seeing places in this country that's located on the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea.
Most tourists from neighboring countries and throughout the world visit Lithuania to make their vacation most thrilling and exciting. Being a home to fairytale-like structures and rolling grasslands, Lithuania boasts most attractive tourist attractions such as Trakai Island Castle, Old Town of Vilnius, Curonian Split, Kernave, Kaunus Town Hall, Gediminas Tower, Christ's Resurrection Church, Kaunas Castle, The Hill of Crosses, etc. These are the places that should not be missed by the tourists visiting Lithuania.
Lithuanian cuisine is famous for its use of beets, rye, berries and mushroom. The popular meat in this country is pork, beef, rabbit, duck, chicken and lamb. One can even get yummy eel or bream as appetizers. Cabbage soup with carrots, ham and onion is a popular soup available at all average restaurant.


Fiercely independent, Lorraine June Vredevoogd lived a very active life well into her later years. She was imaginative and artistic and had a deep compassion for animals. Known to always have pets of her own, Lorraine also enjoyed caring for hurt and abandoned animals. Painting watercolors and tending to her yard were some of the simple things she loved over the years. Generous beyond measure, there simply wasn't anything that Lorraine wouldn't do for a friend in need. She lived her life in service to others and delighted in hosting holiday parties and celebrating life's richest blessings. Lorraine leaves behind a rich collection of warm memories for her friends and her loved ones to cherish forever.
Looking back on the 1920's, it was a period of sustained economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural edge. By 1926, The Ford Motor Company announced the creation of the 40-hour work week! The Treaty of Berlin was also signed that year in the hopes that Germany and the Soviet Union would remain neutral with each other if either were attacked by a third party. The improvement in the relationship between the two countries did not last long as Hitler rose to power. With the media focused on jazz music and celebrities, especially sports heroes and movie figures, Maximilian and Florence (Mietzner) Bradford, welcomed home their newborn baby girl, Lorraine born on June 22, 1926, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Joining her older brother Kenneth, her birth brought great joy to the family home.
Tragically her father died when she was only two years old, leaving her mother to care for the young family. Lorraine took an interest in the violin in high school and not often typical of the times, she proudly graduated with the Class of 1944 from Central High School. Soon after, she took a job as a nanny for the Sebastian Family. During these years, she met the man of her dreams, Michael W. Sieracki. The two of them hit it off right from the start and after a two-year courtship joined in marriage at the St. James Catholic Church in June of 1947. The happy couple settled into their first of several westside homes on Garfield SW. Eager to start a family of their own, it wasn't long before their daughter Carol arrived. She was their first and only child who joined them on O'Brien Rd, Mt. Mercy Drive and finally Walker NW where they made their final home for many years. Sadly, Michael died of kidney cancer in the year 1977, leaving her on her own.
Just two years later, she met Robert Vredevoogd who fell in love with her positive outlook on life. They married and then in 1990, he died leaving Lorraine a widow for more than twenty-seven years. During this time, her wide variety of interests kept her active and content. She was an avid Tigers fan and enjoyed sharing the spirit of the season from April through October year after year. She treasured the company of friends and family and savored the time she spent with her family. Sadly, her grandson John Michael Schichtel died of Leukemia at the young age of 33, reminding her of the days when Michael was ill. She supported Carol through an unimaginable time and worked to heal through caring for her garden and taking good care of herself over the years. In addition to her natural ways of caring for others, she was also an exceptional cook and shared her delicious dishes with so many.
Strong-willed and independent, it was no surprise that Lorraine had lived into her nineties. She was often one to look on the bright side and didn't let much ruffle her feathers. Sadly, after a fall in her home roughly two weeks ago, it was discovered that she had lung cancer. With great courage, Lorraine accepted this news as her fate. Never one to sulk, she chose to let nature take its course and decided not to receive the treatments and endure their side effects. Placed under Hospice care and her final days were ones of peace and comfort. Lorraine will be greatly missed and her memories will provide lasting evidence of her unconditional love and gracious personality.

Government Whiplash Reforms - On Hold?
13 October 2016 Ella-Davis access to justice, insurance, personal injury, politics, road traffic accidents, whiplash (0)
The Law Society Gazette is reporting that the Justice Secretary is not intending to proceed with the personal injury reforms set out in last year's Autumn Statement "at the moment". We blogged on those proposals at the time here which, as a reminder, were that the small claims track limit should be raised to £5,000 and the removal of the right to general damages for minor soft tissue injuries. Apparently the MOJ has stressed that it is still committed to tackling the high cost of whiplash claims. The Gazette reports that fresh proposals are in the works and could be introduced by the end of the year. It seems the original proposals came very much from the Treasury rather than the MOJ so it will be interesting to see what the MOJ's solution is. Hopefully they will find a formula which will satisfy everyone by effectively tackling fraud while maintaining access to justice. As ever, watch this space for updates.
BBC Expose of 'Crash for Cash' Ring
22 January 2016 Thomas-Crockett General, illegality, road traffic accidents, SA fraud, SA Road Traffic Accidents, whiplash (0)
For some light relief (this is being posted on a Friday afternoon after all!) any practitioner involved in PI cases where fraud is alleged could be advised as to look no further than the detailed article published on the BBC Wales' website about a successful prosecution of a so-called 'crash for cash' ring, in this case an extended family. This would appear to be something of an extreme case, the publicisation of which will no doubt be pleasing to insurance companies seeking to highlight what they suggest is the prevalence of such behaviour, albeit on a less industrial scale. The modus operandi of the Yandell family from south Wales was to submit claims for entirely fraudulent road traffic accidents replete with bogus repair invoices, hire car charge invoices and other bogus evidence as well as various friends and relatives roped in as phantom passengers. Police suspected they made in excess of £2 million over the years. A particularly (though soberly unsurprising for anyone concerned with such claims, such as the author) runs: " 'Originally they'd tried a couple of collisions to get a bit of extra cash,' said DC Jon Parkinson. 'They realised there was a lot of money to be made.' The Yandells also realised that insurance companies would soon become suspicious if the same names kept cropping up on claims.To get around this, they began roping in friends and other family members. The more names and addresses involved, the less risk there was of insurance company fraud investigators smelling a rat. It worked something like this: 1) The Yandells and their associates would invent car accidents in which one party would pose as the non-fault driver 2) The at-fault vehicle would either have high mileage or be mechanically problematic. No loss as it was worth more as a write-off and money could be made by removing parts, headlamps, gearboxes 3) The non-fault party then submits an insurance claim for damage to their car, personal injury, courtesy car, crash repairs and so on 4) The Yandells would submit fraudulent courtesy car and repair invoices to insurers 5) Other family members and friends or friends-of-friends would then be roped into the deal. They agreed to lie and say they were in the car at the time 6) A flurry of cheques follow ranging from £10,000 to £40,000 per accident - new cars, personal injury payouts, courtesy car charges and bogus repair bills But the accident had never happened. So, before any inspectors arrived from insurance companies, the Yandells had to make sure the cars looked suitably smashed up. The gang would damage cars with hammers, or drive cars into one another ... " The extensive article includes photographs and excerpts from BBC Wales' Week In Week Out current affairs programme, including footage of cars being deliberately damaged to bolster claims – to repeat, it's really worth a read/watch! The good news is that the report states that the Yandells have been stopped. Prosecutions were buoyed by the availability of CCTV footage as well as intelligence gleaned from social media. The BBC suggested that in total over the past five years some 83 people have been found guilty in the criminal courts for this fraud, specifically: 81 on conspiracy to defraud and two for theft. It is said that they received sentences ranging from six years in jail to suspended prison terms. Next week the final five people involved are due to be sentenced. The article is available at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-35357195.
Autumn Statement for PI Lawyers
25 November 2015 Ella-Davis access to justice, costs, courts, Damages, insurance, personal injury, politics, quantum, road traffic accidents, whiplash (0)
The government has released a summary of the Autumn Statement with 20 Key Announcements, the last of which will be of great interest to personal injury lawyers. It reads as follows: "20. People will no longer be able to get cash compensation for minor whiplash claims To make it harder for people to claim compensation for exaggerated or fraudulent whiplash claims, the government is ending the right to cash compensation. More injuries will also be able to go to the small claims court as the upper limit for these claims will be increased from £1,000 to £5,000. This means that annual insurance costs for drivers could fall by between £40 to £50 a year." George Osbourne anticipates these changes "will remove over £1bn from the cost of providing motor insurance" and expects insurers to pass on that saving to consumers. There had already been speculation over the last week that the government was going to introduce its previously shelved plan to increase the small claims limit for personal injury claims when the insurance fraud taskforce reported next month. What is surprising though is the reference to "ending the right to cash compensation". It is as yet unclear what it meant by this. Footnote 55 to the Autumn Statement gives some clarification by explaining that "Claimants will still be entitled to claim for 'special damages' (including treatment for any injury if required and any loss of earnings) but entitlements for general damages will be removed." It will be interesting to see though how it will be decided that a case falls into the category in which there is no entitlement to general damages. Elsewhere in the Autumn Statement is a statement that the government will reduce the excessive costs to insurers of whiplash claims by "removing the right to general damages for minor soft tissue injuries". This would seem to cover more than just whiplash injuries. There may also be interesting arguments where multiple injuries are involved. These problems are unlikely to be straightforward and may result in substantial argument, inevitably using court time. It seems likely we will have to wait for the report of the insurance fraud taskforce, due before the end of the year, for further details. Keen readers who can't wait until then might be interested in the research briefing published in advance of last Wednesday's debate in Parliament. Otherwise, watch this space!
Personal Injury practices safe 'at this stage'
25 October 2013 Ian-Miller cpr, evidence, Experts, personal injury, politics, whiplash (0)
"Will they or won't they?" has been the question for many personal injury lawyers wondering whether their practices were about to disappear into oblivion with the raising of the small claims limit. The question has now been answered: "not at this stage". The government clearly thinks that it would be good to raise it. However it does not intend to do so 'at this stage' because it might have an adverse effect on victims of RTAs with genuine injuries. It wants to develop safeguards before an increase in the limit is considered. The government has also responded to the consultation on its proposal to set up panels of independent medical experts. It intends to go ahead with this with the intention of having experts who give better advice on whiplash injuries. The view is that only reports from accredited medical experts would be accepted in evidence in whiplash claims. Reports will be in a standardised format and the government intends to stop experts being paid by those who favour a certain outcome. Further work is to be done before a proposal is published. You may or may not have been aware that the transport select committee had recommended reducing the limitation period for road traffic cases involving personal injury from three years. The government has made it clear it does not intend to do so. Such a move would make the law of limitation more complicated and would cause a massive surge in litigation – at a point when the court system is struggling in any event. The government has also suggested measures to challenge fraudulent or exaggerated claims. These include better data collection in order to establish the extent of the problem, prohibiting settlement without a medical report and the sharing of data by insurance companies with claimant solicitors to help claimant lawyers carry out 'know your client checks'. Whether this will really make any difference is open to doubt – one school of thought is that vehicle technology (dashboard cameras, speed recording devices etc) will only really make a difference.
Backlash to whiplash? Consultation on Whiplash Claims
12 December 2012 Frances-McClenaghan whiplash (0)
The MOJ yesterday opened consultation on proposals aimed at reducing the number and cost of whiplash claims. In terms of the number of claims, the MOJ has cited research indicating that 70% of road traffic accident personal injury claims in the UK were related to whiplash, whereas the equivalent figures were 47% in Germany, 32% in Spain and 3% in France (http://www.justice.gov.uk/news/press-releases/moj/government-action-on-whiplash-claims). Moreover, in terms of costs, the MOJ has noted research suggesting that Britain is the only country in Europe which has paid out as much in costs as it has in compensation for neck injuries in car accidents. One should query, however, whether this finding alone is indicative of a problem – is it not just as likely that higher costs were incurred because we have an adversarial, rather than an inquisitorial system? The proposals the Government is consulting on are: •Creating new independent medical panels to diagnose whiplash injuries. •Increasing the small claims threshold for personal injury road traffic accident claims to £5,000, thereby reducing costs. The consultation is now open until 8 March 2013 and can be found at https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/reducing-number-cost-whiplash

Basketball. We occasionally follow this winter sport, but don't invest as much time as we hunker down and wait for spring. That is, until March, and the NCAA bracket is revealed. Suddenly, everyone becomes a college hoops expert and Warren Buffett's lawyers replace all meals with antacids.
It's hard not to get into the hype.
We love the Big Dance for the same reason people flocked to the coliseum to watch the gladiators fight: it's entertainment, baby! First and foremost, the teams competing in this event are considered the best programs in the country—athleticism at its finest.
Secondly, the underdog theory: Everyone loves an upset. Watching Coach K's eyes morph into saucers as the clock ticked away the basketball empire known as Duke was amazing. They lost to Mercer University. Who in the hell has ever heard of Mercer? Rest assured, everyone in a 500-mile radius of Durham, NC knows exactly who they are…now.
The third reason we succumb to a playoff? We love competition. It doesn't matter who it is. It gets our adrenaline pumping. It unites people under a common cause because the numerical seeding is just that: a number. It's the performance that matters. A tournament ensures each team has a chance to win—just ask 11th seeded Dayton who made it to the Elite Eight only to lose to top-seeded Florida.
The NCAA basketball tournament opens up dialogue on another level. Off "Grounds" at the University of Virginia, a group of graduate students debated the authenticity of Harvard's program, arguing that "not only were they [Harvard] superior academically, but they were the only Ivy League school to make it to the tourney." Seriously, debating the Crimson's athletic and academic performance when you are in the presence of one of the best rise-to-glory stories in decades in Virginia? At least 1-seed UVa finished as regular season as well as conference champions—another moment in time Coach K would like to erase. Tony Bennett's crew went 25-6, 16-2 ACC. Their defense ranked fifth in the country and 20th on offense, putting them at number 4 in the Ken Pomeroy rankings. The Cavs dominated their opponents in a difficult conference, and went on to the sweet 16, losing to Michigan State 61-59…the furthest Virginia has made it since 1995.
People will continue to attend events in order to witness athletic greatness.
The point is March Madness is about surviving and advancing. People will continue to attend events in order to witness athletic greatness. There are some that love the game, yet for others it's the love of competition. We evolve, but the essence of competition thrives in all of us.

If two end users are trying to book a slot at the same time the first one to submit the booking gets the slot and the second person gets a generic error message without much help. I know this message can be modified with translations but the end user still sees a list of slots including the taken one.
The error should be detected giving a less generic error message and refreshing the available slots for the service removing the one or more they tried to book.

Everything else not covered by the other post categories. Austin bits, travel bits, various goings-ons in my life.
2. Random thoughts on film and TV: I was browsing through the TV guide the other day and saw Meet Joe Black was on. It's one of those movies that I really liked and can easily re-watch again. It struck me though, just how unusual it was for a movie like that to be made. It's not hugely dramatic, there's very little action- in fact, the pace of the movie is quite slow. It features a kind of abstract mythology/fantasy element that is never overtly explained. It's mostly a romance, when you get down to it. Yet is has this AMAZING cast, and continues to have the staying power to be a TV regular. I can't off the top of my head think of another similar movie. My other TV-related musing is about the show Elementary (Sherlock Holmes set in NYC, with Watson as a woman). I watch a LOT of crime dramas, and nearly all of them that are based on a main duo eventually have that main duo end up romantically involved. Elementary is refreshing because it doesn't even have a hint of that. Sherlock and Joan have a solidly built friendship, but that is it, hard stop. I originally liked the show because of Jonny Lee Miller's portrayal of Sherlock, and the show's gender-bending (Watson and Moriarty are both women). But now I love it even more because they've stuck to their guns even 4 seasons in, and haven't forced a romance between Sherlock and Joan. That is the best way to take something old and make it truly new.
3. I know I've mentioned that I neglected the shop this year, due to wedding planning and events. But that might actually have been a good thing. It's given me some time to think about the shop and see a) whether I want to keep going with it and b) if so, how/with what products? The paper prints are going to ramp down, as lokta paper is a bit hard to come by post-Nepal-earthquake. So I'm thinking up other product ideas. I'm also going to put all of the one-of-a-kind shirts in the Sale section, and focus only on growing the made-to-order section. I know I want to retake some photos. Bottom line: there will be some big changes coming to the shop in 2016.
4. There's a house on the corner of one of my neighborhood's intersections that for the longest time had a car parked outside with a World of Warcraft sticker on it. It has recently been joined by a car with the license plate Moria (that's a LOTR reference, if you didn't catch it). I have now dubbed this house Dork Headquarters. I also kind of want to be friends with whoever lives there.
Ok, the scenery is by far the biggest category in my honeymoon photo recap series (if you missed Food, it's here.). So I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking. There are captions on each one if you mouse over, and clicking will open up a lightbox viewer. Have you ever been to Europe? What's your favorite place?

Formula's new 430 SSC (Super Sport Crossover) made her debut at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show, November 3-7. She combines the best elements of several different types into one remarkable vessel that already is making waves in the boating industry. She is at once an opulent day boat that is eminently practical thanks to her huge swim platform, two on-deck entertaining venues, hardtop, and surprisingly large overnight accommodations below.
Formula has held nothing back in producing this new model, which is its first outboard-powered boat in recent memory. On deck she has a large bowriding cockpit, powered hi-low tables in both the bow and main cockpit, galleys on deck and below, dinettes on deck and below, stand-up head, sleeping accommodations for four, and triple, individually adjustable helm seating. Her extended swim platform extends the transom aft upon which to hang four Mercury Racing outboards that can range from 300 to 400-hp each. A single joystick reins in all of those horses, making docking easy. She has a 21-degree deadrise bottom, Formula's signature painted hull sides, and is loaded with virtually every amenity imaginable. See our full report on this important new boat.
The 430 SSC measures 43' (13.11 m) long with a 12' (3.66 m) beam and her open bow design is something we've not seen in an express cruiser in this size range.
The Formula 430 Super Sport Crossover is a new breed of boat that has ample lounge space in the cockpit and an open bow above decks and sleeping accommodations for four with a private standup head below. She borrows design elements from the manufacturer's Crossover Bowrider series and incorporates the versatility of a flush-cockpit center console.
Power is provided by four Mercury Racing Verado outboards ranging from 300- to 400-hp, and the boat rides on stepped hull bottom design that enhances efficiency and can handle it when conditions get rough.
•Graphics Applied in Polyurethane Paint. Owners have a choice of three graphics patterns applied in paint and covered in Imron Elite clearcoat.
•430 SmartZone. The 430 SSC has 40 linear feet (12.2 m) of cockpit space on one level and a layout that creates separate private areas on board.
•Open Bow Seating. The bow seats wrap around two tables that raise electrically and come with filler cushions to enhance versatility.
•Extended Swim Platform. Part of the SmartZone design, the platform has 50 sq. ft. of space.
•Full Cabin. Belowdecks the boat has 6'6" (1.98 m) of head room and an aft stateroom, rare for a boat with an open bow.
•Twin-Stepped Bottom Design. Provides speed and efficiency not found in non-stepped designs.
•Available Automatic Outboard Flushing System. Connect a garden hose to a single port and all four engines automatically get flushed. It's a $2,260 option.
The Cockpit. Formula's SmartZone design features two seating areas in the 430 SSC's cockpit. Abaft the helm seats, there's a horseshoe-shaped lounge that wraps around a table. It can be lowered with the push of a button and filled in with cushions to create a sunpad.
All the seats are finished with Pre-Fixx coating and are sewn with Tenara element-resistant threads. They're fabricated on StarLite XL lightweight synthetic panels and padded with DriFast foam. The boat comes standard with a woven mat in the cockpit and synthetic teak is an available option.
The power-actuated table raises out of the cockpit deck to turn the starboard lounge into a dining booth that will seat at least six people.
Lower the table halfway and insert the filler cushions to create a 6'8" (2.03 m) by 4'*8" (1.4 m) tanning bed.
Al Fresca. To port, the 430 SSC has a lounge with forward and aft-facing backrests where a single passenger can stretch out and cushioning along the gunwale or a couple could sit facing in. There are cup holders and stainless steel grabrails recessed outboard in the gunwales.
Forward to port the "outdoor kitchen" has Corian countertops with a cover for the sink that slides out of the way, a fiberglass molded sink with a sliding cover, and a stainless-steel Isotherm refrigerator. In the locker beneath the sink there's a trash can and paper towel holder. There's storage in drawers made with StarBoard panels.
Forward in the port gunwale, a blender in a dedicated rack is in one locker, and just ahead, the cockpit TV secures with a strap in another. A removable Yeti Tundra 35 cooler that slides out on a track is in the locker in the base of the helm seats.
The cockpit wet bar has a hideaway cover over the sink and aft, there's a socket for the optional cockpit TV.
The drawer-style refrigerator a stainless-steel door and an upper freezer section.
At the aft end of the wetbar, this headrest opens to reveal all the connections needed for the cockpit TV. The upper corner of the upholstery is indented, so it won't chafe or abrade cords.
A Yeti cooler pulls out on a slide from under the helm seats.
Just ahead of the wetbar in the port gunwale, the optional blender stores in this locker hatch.
The cockpit TV straps in place in the hatch for the second locker in the port gunwale.
For easier line handling, there is a rope locker in the port gunwale.
The Coupe Top. Designed to blend cleanly with the 430 SSC's sporty lines, the Coupe Top has a tinted, tempered glass windshield, an opening portside walk-through to the bow and side windows that can be filled in with glass or Eisenglass. The retractable Taylor Made sunroof has four Poseidon retractable sunshades and soft panels.
There are blue LED accent lights and a flagstaff with flush mount spreader lights. A power retractable aft sunshade that extends over the aft-facing lounge is an available option.
Narrow mullions and the wraparound design of the windshield provide good views.
The power sunroof retracts to let in lots of natural light.
The hardtop also has four speakers and multi-color LED lights.
The Stern. Thanks to the 2'-wide (.61 m) passageway to port that closes with a stainless-steel framed acrylic gate, it's easy to head aft to the stern where the 430 SSC has a large rear-racing sunlounge to starboard. Individual backrests adjust to personalize the seating position and the storage trunk in the base has space for four fenders and the cockpit filler cushions.
The swim platform is 11'3 (3.4 m) wide and 4'7" deep (1.4 m), and it's finished in synthetic teak. It's a 7" (17.8 cm) step down to the platform. It comes with a removable stainless-steel swim ladder that clips in place on each side of the platform and a retractable safety ladder that pulls out of the starboard side.
Twin pull-up cleats in the aft corners are a good choice for keeping the area free of tripping hazards.
The 430 SSC's swim platform measures 50 sq. ft. (15.2 sq. m), and the walking surface is covered in barefoot-friendly synthetic teak.
The four-step boarding ladder clips in place on each side of the swim platform.
Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) boards are popular and Formula makes available optional racks for them that plug into sockets on the swim platform.
Utilities. Aft to port on the platform, a small console is home to the shorepower plug outlet and utility connections. There's also a hot freshwater shower in a stainless-steel compartment.
A hatch on top opens a weather-resistant locker that houses all the battery switches and the optional Reverso freshwater flush for the motors. Attach a single garden hose and all four motors get flushed. Just ahead in the aft port corner of the cockpit, there's space for the optional 240-volt electric grill.
Aft the port, this console has the a JL Audio speaker, the utility connections and a freshwater shower.
The hatch above raises on a stainless-steel gas strut for access to storage, a fire extinguisher, and the battery switches.
This hose connection is for the optional automatic freshwater flush system for the motors. One hose flushes all four motors.
The optional grill is in the aft port corner of the cockpit, and it's protected from the weather by two hinged covers.
The Bow. The passageway from the stern to the bow is unobstructed. A hatch in the windshield and a lower one can close off the bow. Wraparound seating up front provides myriad lounging positions. The forward-facing triple-wide lounge -- 6'3"-wide (1.0m) -- transitions to a full-length chaise-style seat to starboard. Two drink holders with a Corian accent fold out of the backrest.
The starboard gunwale is also padded, and, as we saw throughout the boat, virtually every gunwale cutout has USB ports. Two electrically actuated tables with filler cushions provide numerous dining and relaxing possibilities. Dual insulated coolers under the forwardmost aft facing seats in the bow keep cool drinks in reach, and a trash receptacle helps keep the area neat.
There's a stereo remote in the bow that controls sound levels in four different zones of the boat. If the sun's rays get too strong, a sunshade with stanchions that clip into the deck rails on each side can be erected easily.
Something not found on many 43' (13.11 m) express cruisers, the 430 SSC has a full bow seating area.
Twin tables can be raised individually, which enhances versatility.
Individual cushions can fill one or both of the tables in the bow to create a variety of seating options.
The stereo remote in the bow controls the volume throughout the boat.
The bow sunshade goes up quickly and provides effective relief.
When the sunshade is stowed, four plugs insert into the bow rail stanchions.
The Helm Seats. Three-across seating at the 430 SSC's helm lets individuals adjust their travel position for standing or sitting. Power-adjustable footrests further customize the riding position, but we'd like to see the switches for the footrests labeled. One of the cooler features on the boat -- literally -- is adjustable louvers in the helm seat backrests that can be adjusted to direct the air forward or aft for the cockpit lounge.
Three across helm seats have fold-up bolsters.
Adjustable louvers in the seat backrests can aim air conditioning output forward or aft.
Individual power footrests let the captain and two companions customize their riding positions. The up and down switches are illuminated.
High-Tech. The composite dash on our test boat contained three Raymarine gS165 GPS chartplotters that have 16" (40.6 cm) screens and can be configured for engine monitoring or navigation display.
Twin 19" (48.3 cm) screens are also available. The plotters are in the vertical section of the panel, and down low, adjacent to the tilt steering wheel, are the Mercury VesselView 702 screen and the Launchport touch screen that controls every system on the boat. It has an accompanying iPad that lets owners do everything except drive the 430 SSC.
Our test boat was equipped with an optional Seakeeper 5 Gyro stabilization system and controls that synchronize the underwater lights to the stereo. Waterproof rocker switches are in Liquid Black panels with metallic accents.
There's a lot going on with a four-engine boat, but the 430 SSC's dash is laid out logically and efficiently.
The Launchport touchscreen display at the helm controls all the on-board systems except the engines.
Mercury's latest VesselView screen keeps the captain apprised of all engine functions.
Total Control. Outboard to starboard, the controls are comfortably laid out with the trim tab buttons positioned in a natural reach from the Mercury Digital Throttle and Shift levers.
The boat comes standard with the Mercury Joystick piloting system for outboards, and the controls are just ahead of the trim tab buttons.
For entertaining guests, the boat comes with a Rockford Fosgate stereo with iPod and USB ports and Bluetooth and 10 JL Audio speakers with blue LED lights and 600 watts of amplification plus two lighted 200-watt subwoofers. With all that high-tech stuff, Formula still made sure the captain has a place to toss his car keys and wallet by providing a lockable glovebox. Inside the glove box are slots for the Raymarine navigation cards.
The starboard side of the helm is laid out for comfort with the trim tab buttons in a comfortable reach ahead of the throttles. For docking, the joystick is in reach on the forward section of the panel.
A Place for Everything. A day on the water is more enjoyable when accessories and lockers are easy to use. The 430 SSC has 25 cup holders throughout the bow, cockpit, and stern. Storage is provided in lockers underneath hinged seat bottom cushions, and there are a total of 13 molded tubs and compartments throughout the boat. Blue-white LED lights illuminate the cockpit when needed and blue underwater lights are an available option.
All the seat bottom cushions are plastic and have drainage holes and a handhold on the underside. This compartment starboard is also lined with black rubber mat to the cushion the ride for the contents.
The Forward Cabin. A sliding hatch to port of the helm station opens the 430 SSC's cabin. Three solid wood steps lead belowdecks to a fully molded cabin liner that is finished with a woodgrain-finish sole and has 6'6" (1.98 m) of headroom.
Large windows actually open, and there's a U-shaped Ultraleather lounge where friends and family can gather for dinner or a drink around a high-gloss table that lowers to create a forward berth. Legroom can be enhanced by raising the forward backrest, and there are dual USB charging ports.
The 430 SSC's cabin is inviting with space to gather around a table that lowers to convert the dinette into a berth.
A shade covers the skylight in the forward cabin.
The Galley. To starboard at the aft end of the dinette, the galley has an upscale look and feel with open-grain woods, Corian countertops, and brushed metallic architectural accents. There's a Corian sink with an Elkay folding swivel faucet and glide-away cover.
The 430 SSC comes standard with an overhead microwave oven, a concealed electric stove with a cutting board cover, and a concealed trash container. A Keurig coffee maker is an available option. Hardwood dovetail drawers open and close silently and a blue LED light-equipped cabinet showcase is stocked with tempered stemware, tumblers, and bottle storage.
To port, there's a large pullout Vitrifigo stainless-steel refrigerator that can be changed to freezer mode and additional storage including a cedar-lined hanging locker.
The compact galley is well equipped and finished in rich wood grains.
The Entertainer. Positioned to starboard above the galley, the 32" (81.3 cm) LED/LCD HDTV with soundbar and a Blu-ray player is in a good line of sight from the forward lounge. To port is an electronics pylon with a control for the Rockford Fosgate stereo, control for the air conditioning, light switches, and a LaunchPort inductive charging system for the iPod that comes with the boat. Digital switches control all the lights and air conditioning and LED lighting is blue.
The TV is positioned for comfortable viewing from the forward dinette/V-berth.
The iPad for the Launchport control system has two docking locations in the cabin.
Privacy Please. Abaft the belowdecks entry steps, a privacy curtain closes off the aft cabin that has a queen-sized Sensus memory foam mattress. The upholstered headboard has individual reading lights, dual USB charging ports and an additional LaunchPort inductive charging system, plus hideaway storage and pillow shams. There's a large locker at the foot of the berth.
The aft berth closes off with a privacy curtain and appears to have good seated headroom.
The Head. Located to starboard between the galley and the aft berth, the private head has a molded vanity with a Corian countertop and sink with a wall-mounted faucet and a high-gloss woodgrain finish lower cabinet. When a passenger wants to take a shower, a Corian seat covers the Vacuflush toilet that has a 43-gallon (162.8 L) holding tank.
The head has an upscale feel with two-tone colors, and it's all molded so it's easy to clean.
Formula offers the boat with four outboards from Mercury Marine rated at 300, 350, and 400-hp individually. All the engine packages come with Joystick Piloting, Mercury Active Trim, and Bennett hydraulic trim tabs. She rides on a 21-degree V-bottom with twin steps. This bottom is not adapted from any other Formula models. It was designed from the keep up for this new boat.
We tested the 430 SSC with four Mercury Racing Verado 400Rs with gear ratios of 1.75:1 turning Mercury 14 5/8" x 19" Rev 4 stainless-steel four-blade propellers. The inboard motors had 30" shafts while the outboard units had 20" shafts. The propellers rotated outboard, as in the two motors to port spun to that side and the same for starboard.
With four people, 237 gallons of fuel, and 52 gallons of fuel on board, our test boat had an estimated weight of 27,828 lbs.
Running in calm seas, we saw a top speed of 64.2 mph (103.3 kph) at 7000 rpm.
Best cruise came at 5000 rpm where the boat ran 42.6 mph (68.5 kph) and burned 58.6 gph (221.6 kpl), which translates to .7 mpg (.31 kpl) and a maximum range of 284.4 statute miles (526km) with 10 percent of the boat's 500-gallon fuel capacity in reserve.
In acceleration tests, the 430 SSC ran to 20 mph (32 kph) in 6.6 seconds and to 30 mph (48 kph) in 12.6 seconds.
Handling. In turns, our test boat lived up to Formula's performance heritage, making tight arcs. An aggressive full-lock turn will get the rubrail wet, but the boat completes the maneuver, and the props don't ventilate. That's a sign of a properly dialed-in boat.
Keep the arc a little less aggressive and the 430 SSC carves a smooth, clean turn with the appropriate amount of lean. When we ran through some bay chop, the V-bottom with 21 degrees of deadrise at the transom sliced through the waves with ease.
The 430 SSC exhibited sportboat-like handling in a boat that sleeps four.
Construction. Formula builds the 430 SSC with a molded structural grid, and the hull and deck are fastened with a chemical bonding agent and stainless-steel hardware. There are 12 stainless steel Formula logo-cast cleats, fuel fills, two polished port lights with screens, and two oversized port lights.
On Board Systems. The 430 SSC comes standard with a 10-kw/120-volt Kohler low-CO gas generator with a sound shield and dedicated battery. There are four more starting batteries for each engine plus two auxiliary units in protective trays.
Quick access is provided to all the mechanical accessories via a hatch in the port walkway to the stern. It raises on twin gas struts. For more expansive access, the entire aft seat structure raises on a power-actuated lift. This compartment offers the same access as an engine room on a stern drive or inboard powered boat.
The Kohler generator is centrally positioned with batteries outboard to port and the water heater to starboard. On the bow, there's a concealed windlass with 200' (60.96 m) of chain and a polished stainless-steel anchor. An owner can also opt for a heavy-duty stainless-steel towing eye if the 430 SSC is going to be used as a tender for a superyacht.
The day hatch to port opens manually on two gas struts while the entire aft seat structure raises with the push of a button to provide good access to the generator and other equipment.
Transferable 5-year Formula Guard Limited Production Plan w/10-year Structural Warranty (USA Only).
Base price is $1,054,500 with quad 300-hp Mercury outboards.
•Flagship graphic in A, B, or C full hullside color with Axalta Chroma Premier basecoat and Imron Clearcoat.
The folks at Formula have a hit on their hands with the 430 SSC. Her bow seating, spacious cockpit beneath the coupe-style hardtop, and extra-large swim platform, she offers the best of open and enclosed boating in one vessel. Her innovative design also makes her the only boat in class that we can think of with full bow seating and a cabin with 6'6" (1.98 m) of headroom belowdecks.
Formula has experience with stepped hulls and designed the 430 SSC's bottom to combine efficiency and a good rough-water ride. The only concern we would have is for the customer who buys her with the biggest engines available, the Verado 400Rs, but decides he wants to go faster in the future -- because they always want to. He either has to wait for Mercury Racing to introduce bigger motors or consider upgrading to the Seven Marine 557, which is a much bigger motor.
Mercury Racing lists the Verado 400R at 668 lbs. (303 kg), while the Seven Marine 557-hp model with a 20" (50.8 cm) shaft weighs 1,094 lbs. (496.2 kg). That's a difference of 426 lbs. (193.2 kg) per motor. Multiply that times four and that's an extra 1,704 lbs. (772.9 kg) bolted to the boat's transom.
Top speed for the Formula 430 Super Sport Crossover (2017-) is 64.2 mph (103.3 kph), burning 154.2 gallons per hour (gph) or 583.65 liters per hour (lph).
Best cruise for the Formula 430 Super Sport Crossover (2017-) is 42.6 mph (68.6 kph), and the boat gets 0.7 miles per gallon (mpg) or 0.3 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 327 miles (526.26 kilometers).
Tested power is 4 x 400-hp Mercury Racing Verado 400R.

Recently, I've been applying to graduate schools. And, as I fulfilled a requirement of submitting a statement of purpose, I considered and reconsidered the purpose of my life. Of course, an application statement of purpose briefly explains your research experience and interests, but I began to reflect – what is my life's statement of purpose?Continue reading "Statement of Purpose"
The struggle of being home
I left home in 2012 for college in upstate New York, not expecting to ever return to the small town in Wisconsin I grew up in. But once COVID hit, all I could think about was being at home with my family. Being alone through all of this would be too difficult on me emotionally and psychologically, so I road-tripped from California to Wisconsin to my parents' house. After eight years, the four of us, my dad, my mom, my little brother, and I, were now all living under the same roof again.
We Love Because
Right about halfway through the semester, I hit a low point where I just did not have the strength to go on. In the midst of struggling both inwardly and outwardly, I started to feel that I was never going to make it through this Christian journey. Such a feeling worsened as the days went by, and at such a low state, the enemy was quick to attack me with this thought…

What do insurance leaders need to be?
The insurance industry has reached a point where many executives are also technologists, even if their title has a different designation. What's driving this, in part, is multiple disciplines working together to further technological progress.
Kathryn Janofsky (pictured), head of underwriting for Beazley Digital, said that the trend has opened enormous possibilities.
"The most positive part for me is to have enjoyed bringing people of such differing backgrounds and differing ways of working together to be delivering on what we are committing to," Janofsky said. "We're seeing a greater pace than we have ever seen before, so we are seeing some evidence that this is working."
Beazley Digital is a relatively small part of Beazley Group, with about 90 employees in a division that launched in January 2022 as part of a tech/innovation reorganization. It combines underwriting, claims, technology and operational experts into a single cross-functional team. The company describes Beazley Digital as a "next generation digital placement experience" for its global brokers looking to place and manage small to medium sized risks more personally, accessibly and quicker than the norm.
Beazley Group, by contrast, employs about 1,700 employees overall, with specialist insurance businesses in Europe, Asia and the United States. It also manages six Lloyd's syndicates.
Still, Beazley Digital's operations stand to be highly influential within the broader company, as technology successes and processes are followed and potentially absorbed into Beazley Group's larger operations over time, Janofsky said.
"We are functioning as a start-up inside of the bigger Beazley, so we have some freedom to experiment with vendors and try new technologies and shape the path of our technologies," she explained. "We also serve as a center of excellence to the rest of Beazley on API technology and we will be sharing what we build with the broader group."
Tech all around
According to Janofsky, Beazley Digital came to life as an outgrowth of its digital trading investments across various parts of its businesses.
"We realized that in order to drive efficiency, scale and greater profitability, we would need to collect those assets together and invest in them properly as opposed to in the more disparate way we had been investing in them," Janofsky said. "We made the decision to bring all of the units that are currently either trading on digital platforms, or the portfolios [we believe] will lend themselves well to digitization and we moved all of that business together" starting January 01, 2022.
Janofsky reports to Ian Fantozzi, CEO of Beazley Digital, and James Wright serves as head of technology for the unit. Janofsky, a commercial insurance industry veteran with more than 20 years of casualty and specialty lines underwriting, oversees global underwriting strategy and leads teams in North America, Europe and the UK. She is also leading Beazley Digital through its cross-functional team strategy, where the cross-team technology sharing comes in.
"We are underwriting, technology and operations, all sharing the same P&L (profit and loss) and making investment decisions together," she said.
By contrast, the rest of Beazley has separate divisions each headed by an underwriting team, with technology and operations sitting outside those units in Beazley Group proper.
Janofsky has daily meetings with the head of technology, head of operations, Beazley Digital's CEO and business manager to talk about the challenges the division faces and make quick decisions to pivot as needed.
"While we are investing in our technology stack, we want to make sure we are pitching ourselves properly to our trading partners, so we have organized the rest of the division around our trading channels … [including] a US broker platform, UK and rest-of-world broker platform and global API work market hubs," Janofsky said.
There will also be email and voice elements in those systems, because the company recognizes that both "will continue to be a majority of how we trade with our broker partners as the technology landscape develops," she added.
A technologist by necessity
Janofsky said that her job with Beazley Digital requires her to be familiar with the company's digital investments, such as its API work and data contracts the company is negotiating around its global submission and product APIs. She's also in the know on vendors the company is using to build its tech stack (including some insurtechs) as well as companies Beazley Digital is reviewing for future partnerships. Additionally, Janofsky tracks data/analytics efforts at the company.
As a head of underwriting, Janofsky said it is crucial today to embrace technology as part of the job. Part of that reason, she said, is because Beazley Digital trades in the small-to-medium enterprise space and must control the expense around placement. Broader than that, however, is the necessity of using multiple technologies to compete in today's market. That means being a technologist is no longer just for the head tech exec.
"The change is both the acceleration of digital adoption in the marketplace and then the changes that the pandemic brought to electronic placement," Janofsky said. "Everyone is looking to reduce overhead among rising costs, people are investing in more and more technology, and we've got to be able to meet them where they want to trade."
With technology a key part of Janofsky's job, she's been working closely with Wright as they shape Beazley Digital's focus and technology direction.
"One of the things we realized very early in our conversations is that underwriters and technologists don't speak the same language, and if we were going to be successful in this, we were going to have to come up with a mutual language as well," Janofsky said. "We've been building that."


Nose: Dark candied fruit, cigar boxes, cinnamon.
Palate: Delicate and dry. Hints of leather, vanilla and tobacco.
rarely see this color in a whiskey as it denotes a great deal of maturity and aging. It is a beautiful thing. On swirling it leaves a thicker coating on the glass and has more legs and heavier body.

When Tamsyn Penrose was just sixteen years old, she and her dearest friend, Jonathan, stumbled upon the notorious French spy known as "The Bat." Unfortunately, Jonathan was immediately killed, but the spy was enchanted by Tamsyn's defiance and apparent fearlessness. Though The Bat never leaves any loose ends, he chooses to let Tamsyn live, but threatens the lives of her, her family and friends if she ever speaks about him. Then he brutally injures her and lets her know he'll be back for her someday. Though Tamsyn showed bravado, she is terrified, and, in fact, loses her ability to speak for many years.
Jack, Marquess Winterbourne, is known as a stylish, charming, superficial rake and rogue. Jack purposely cultivates that image so that no one suspects he is also secretly a government agent, who, much to his chagrin, has been dubbed, "Moth." When it appears that The Bat is still alive, and that Tamsyn has regained her voice, Jack is assigned to charm her, and to find out what information she remembers from her attack six years ago.
Jack initially is undercover, posing as a guest of Tamsyn's father, as he tries to earn her trust and friendship. Though stories (many exaggerated or downright false) of Jack's escapades have reached Tamsyn, she can't help but like him. And being an intelligent young lady, she soon figures out Jack's real purpose and decides to confide to him all she remembers from that horrible night.
I loved the developing relationship between Jack and Tamsyn. She was badly scarred, both physically and mentally, by The Bat, and has let her fear deprive her of much of her joy in life. Jack's acceptance of her scars, and his means of helping her to accept them is truly beautiful. Though Jack greatly desires Tamsyn, his own code doesn't permit him to ruin an innocent. He truly feels he's the shallow man his reputation labels him. When they finally succumb to the passion they are both feeling, Tamsyn is determined not to try to trap or tie down Jack in any way. She plans to enjoy their brief time together and cherish the memory. A strangely sad Jack returns to London, not realizing that he's leaving his heart behind in Cornwall.


I am going to file for divorce myself. I may hire a lawyer later. However, when do I have to move out of the home? - The Law Offices of Christine G. DeBernardis, Esq.
I am going to file for divorce myself. I may hire a lawyer later. However, when do I have to move out of the home?
This is a tough question to answer without knowing more about your case. The status of the marital home varies from case to case and is different in New Hampshire than it is in Massachusetts. Is the home being sold? If so, by whom and when? Is your spouse keeping the home? Will there be a transfer of equity? If so, when and how much? Are you simply deeding your interest away? If you move out at the wrong time, it would negatively impact your case. Do not move out of the home until you have spoken to an attorney and know what is in your best interest.
If I signed my parental rights away can I get them back?


Columns support an elevated walk way leading to Preah Khan Temple. Angkor, Cambodia.
I took a short holiday with my mother to Siem Reap, some weeks ago. It was a whirlwind 4 days; Mum is not one to linger, so despite the X30 slowing her down some, I didn't have a lot of time to hang around looking for things to shoot.
We had with us, a guide who was extremely knowledgeable about his country's political, religious and social history, which was a boon. For two of the four days that we visited the major temple ruins of Angkor, I was walking around mostly open mouthed, trying to wrap my head around the passage of time between the conception of these monuments, and my standing in their midst.
Around and over us, the magnificence of trees.
Your post had me scrambling to do some on-line research on the Angkor temple complexes and general background of the area. For Americans of my age, Southeast Asia means one thing: Vietnam. A good measure of my ignorance is that I would have said (guessed really) Angkor Wat was in Thailand??? It was thus fascinating to learn how important the Khmer people (who make up most of Cambodia) are to the area. They created the earliest known written script in the region (which influenced others) and were likely its first users of bronze. I was also surprised to learn that the Khmer Empire (builders of Preah Khan in the late 12th Century) at one time ruled most of the several present day countries in that entire area. Their Empire fell finally only in the same general time frame as the Ottoman Turks ended once and for all the Holy Roman Empire by conquering (then) Constantinople.
If I (for sure and I suspect others) thought of present day Cambodia at all it would have been mostly in terms of the (near) disastrous Khmer Rouge genocidal campaign of mid(ish) 20th Century. I certainly knew nothing of their past greatness and, frankly, precious little of their more recent rebound during which their economy has been second only to China in its rate of growth.
Anyway, thanks for the post, I am quite glad for the curiosity it engendered. BTW, how'd "Mum" get along with that X30?
All my prior knowledge of Cambodia encompassed said Khmer Rouge campaign too. I had no idea of the reach and depth of the Khmer Empire myself until I went there, Greg. I was staggered… still am! There's nothing like standing in the ruins of history to provoke curiosity – being from Southeast Asia, I am sadly, least curious about the history of the region of my home. It was great to be introduced to it by someone who gave it such life. Post holiday, it's making for fascinating reading.
Mum's learning her X30. She's taking to it pretty quickly!


I got this gorgeous palette from Birchbox using my points, yey I love their point system. I am so glad that I picked this Stila Eye Shadow Palette, it is absolutely gorgeous. It has 10 shadows and also comes with a waterproof eyeliner in Damsel. There are matte and metallic colours so it is perfect for creating many different looks. I really do like neutral colour palettes, I can never have enough of them. These type of colours are just timeless and can be worn any time of the year as well. You can never go wrong with a neutral eye look.
Inside the box you also get a handy little booklet that has examples of looks you can create and a how to guide including what colours to use. This is great as it means you can try new things out even if you are a little unsure on what colours to pair together.
The shadows are very good quality and feel really buttery and silky on the skin. They are also highly pigmented and have good colour pay off, it is definitely worth the price tag. I am a fan of bargain make up but it is also important to have some more high quality items as well. This is definitely one of those items.
I love the second shade in (above) it's called 'Kitten' and is a lovely light gold shimmer. This would be great for highlight the eyelid and the corners of the eye. The brown and pale mattes don't show up too well on my skin tone but they are still gorgeous colours and great for blending.
Here is another gorgeous gold metallic colour called 'Bubbly', I am a fan of adding gold to brighten up your look and a little shimmer. The shimmery blue colour 'Night Sky' is perfect to add a little drama to your look for the evening, it would also look fantastic used as a liner around the eye to add some colour.
Here are the two darkest shades of the palette, just look how pigmented these colours are! You really wouldn't need to use much of these colours to get that smokey eye look.
Here is a swatch of the eyeliner which is the colour Damsel, which is quite a dark brown. I have smudged one to see how it would look if it was smudged around the eye. This would give a softer look if you didn't want it to be too dramatic. I must say I do tend to only use black eyeliners but I will be giving this a go as I think it will really compliment the colours and give a softer look than using black. Black may take away from the gorgeous colours too much.
Do you own this palette? If not, you NEED IT!!
I don't wear eye shadow that often, but when I do these are the type of colours I wear. Neutral for day and darker for night. I absolutely love this pallet!
I wear at least a little bit of eyeshadow every day, this palette is just so gorgeous. Every colour is really nice, there isn't one I don't like.


Throughout the year, designers and creative thinkers from all over the world gather at various events on all continents to exchange ideas and learn about the latest trends in architecture, interior design, product design, graphic design, digital experience, innovation, and so on.
When these conversations are happening, we want to be there to open creative opportunities to the world of 3M Design. Because so many of our solutions are embedded in the functionality of thousands of other products, it's not uncommon for many visitors to the brand activations we've created to be surprised by how much (and how often!) 3M innovation and design touch their lives every day.
We've created multiple interactive opportunities for people to gain deeper understanding of how design can help translate our materials, products, technologies and innovative culture into new solutions. Recent activations feature significant moments in the history of 3M's product development and, despite the breadth of products in our displays, we're often highlighting just a sample or our more than 45 proprietary technologies.
From Tokyo Design Week in Japan to Milan Design Week in Italy to South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, TX , our aim is always to surprise and delight as we immerse visitors in the 3M brand experience.
This may be in the form of new architectural finishes in Tokyo that inspire transformation of interior design spaces the world over. Or garments that glow in the face of flash photography in Milan. Or a unique outdoor tent space in Austin constructed with 3M materials that reimagine the color of natural light as a ceiling kaleidoscope that celebrates creativity.
Through the creative design of brand experience, we are able to bring 3M's innovative culture to life while inviting visitors to open their minds and come be part of our story.

Q: Python HTTP request with json data isn't getting php response with json data I am trying to send a python http request with some json data (I will use this json data in a later case) to server. Server should give a response with some json data (using PHP). Unfortunately there is no any response even though request status code is 200. Any help please!
#request.py

import requests
import urllib3
import json
import os
import time
import sys

#http Request
url = 'http://localhost/response.php'
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'}

while True:

    postMessage = '{"Info": {"ID": 1, "IP": "192.168.1.1"}}'
    response = requests.post(url, json=postMessage, headers=headers)
    #trying to decode the response
    try:
        decodedresponse = json.loads(response.text)
        print(decodedresponse)

    except(ValueError, KeyError, TypeError):
        print("some Error")

#always getting the above print statement!

    break

#response.php

<?php

if(!empty($_POST['json'])){
  $data = [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ];
  header('Content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8');
  echo json_encode($data);

}
 ?>

A: You should remove quotes on assignment of postMessage in your:
postMessage = {"Info": {"ID": 1, "IP": "192.168.1.1"}}

And change your php code to:
<?php
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
header('Content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8');
echo json_encode($data);
?>

A: Check your $_POST structure.
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['Info'])){
   $data = [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ];
   echo json_encode($data);
 }
 else{
     echo json_encode(ison_decode($_POST, TRUE));

Q: JAX-RS / Servlet Programmatic Login I'm creating a restful service with jax-rs which will be used via ajax calls. i need to use programmatic security as i need fine grained control. i've created a login method (that calls request.login) but when subsequent methods are called the security context method getUserPrincipal is always null.
because i'm using programmatic login do i need to do something else for getUserPrincipal to work in subsequent calls? do i have to set something in the session or have a custom interceptor on calls to check or should it be managed by the container?
i'm using glassfish 4

A: If you are aiming to have user sessions, need to keep track of logins using sessions or your own cookie.
If you are aiming to have a RESTful service, you should authenticate every request because REST is designed to be stateless.
