This is definitely one of the dirtiest, filthiest Alexa Riley book I have read to date and I absolutely loved it. It has all you can ask for the sassy girl with a smart mouth and the incredibly Alpha man with an incredibly Dirty mouth.
James is a girl who wants a different life to the one she is currently living and to achieve that she will run straight into Alpha Man who will turn her life upside down. Bennett is a wealthy man who had no problems taking whatever he wants even if it is tiny and fiesty, he will call in all the people he knows to achieve his goals and track down what he believes belongs to him.
Alexa Riley is such a dynamic duo and write insta-everything romances that are just compelling. This is the newest book in the Breeding series called 'Con Artist'. It is steamy, hot, passionate, full of insta- everything, with lots of Alpha protectiveness and just swoon-worthy.
James has had to struggle all her live just to get by. Her parents have been in prison most her life, and when they weren't in prison they were addicts who just didn't care. James was lucky enough to have found a job with Bradford, who helped her out, even though he was a criminal himself.
The chemistry between Bennett and James was off the charts.
Love the story and it's characters. I enjoyed it very much. Filthiest book in the breeding series I've read so far. Keep it coming ladies.
exciting , descriptive, and enjoyable read.
5.0 out of 5 starsLoved every moment!
I loved, loved, loved Con Artist!! I loved the games, the fact the con artist was a woman instead of the typical male character. I loved everything, the cat and mouse, the love and adoration. James and Bennett are everything! This book has gone to the top of my AR love list. It is sweet, funny, a little angsty and fun. I cannot wait to see what comes next from this amazing duo.
This is a great addition to the breeding series. You have to remove logic when you read these BUT if you're looking for insta love with completely OTT Alpha male this one's a winner.

Q: What is the first song?
An intricate film with genuine laughs centered around a solid script
15 October 2012 | by nathanialwest – See all my reviews
When I was driving to the theater, I was doubting my choice in Seven Psychopaths, because the trailer made it seem like so many films I'd seen before that looked edgy and wry, and showed so much promise in the previews yet fell short because of flat characters and muddled plots. This one, however, did not let me down.
I suggest that you see this film purely because it tries to do more with a movie than anything you've seen in a while, and it manages to actually succeeds on all levels, while dangerously romancing the clichés of toying with clichés, movies about writing movies, and gangsters with a soft side. Every time the story started to get even a little generic, wild cards came firing in from all sides.
The actors played their parts well, but Rockwell gave the best performance. I was impressed by Woody and Walken's abilities to shed their skins and get deeper into character than I've seen them be in years.
This is a writer's film--the subplots (really, borderline vignettes) about the various psychopaths that Marty encounters are well done, their back stories unfold at different paces, and their details that connect them to the central plot are creatively deployed, while the momentum of the film clearly hinges in the here and now and does not make the mistake of merely chaining together several subplots to produce one "dog" of a story.
I enjoyed almost everything about Seven Psychopaths. 10/10 to offset the 2 that someone without a brain will rate this.

Notice to Industry - Elimination of the After-Hours Service for Air Charters
1. PURPOSE
This notice is to inform the industry that the Canadian Transportation Agency intends to abolish its after-hours service effective September 30, 2013.
It also outlines the immediate measures the Agency is taking to reduce the number of calls received after regular business hours until the service is eliminated, as well as the measures the Agency is taking to continue to be responsive to truly urgent situations and to minimize the potential impact of this change.
2. ELIMINATION OF THE AFTER-HOURS SERVICE – A STAGED APPROACH
As part of its air charter program, the Agency currently administers an after-hours service which is meant to be used by air carriers in emergency situations occurring at night or during weekends and holidays.
The Agency recently conducted a thorough assessment of the after-hours service and has determined that it is primarily being used by a few air carriers that are repeat users, as well as for non-urgent matters that could be handled during regular business hours.
In light of this, and to streamline existing business processes and reduce costs, the Agency has decided to eliminate the after-hours service through a phased approach, as described below.
2.1 IMMEDIATE MEASURES
Effective from the date of this notice, the after-hours service will be available only for truly urgent circumstances that cannot be handled during the Agency's core business hours. More specifically:
i. Carriers must file ALL notifications by facsimile at 819-953-5562 or by e-mail to the following address – FAX-LATA-ALCD@otc-cta.gc.ca. This typically includes notifications with respect to:
the operation of foreign-originating charter flights (other than fifth/seventh freedom flights);
the operation of charter flights originating in the U.S. (other than fifth/seventh freedom flights);
the operation of cargo charter flights by a U.S. carrier originating in a third country; and
the use of aircraft and flight crew of another carrier pursuant to section 8.3 of the Air Transportation Regulations (ATR).
ii. Carriers who use the after-hours service to obtain Agency approvals must now provide a written justification with substantiation as to why the Agency should consider their request outside of the Agency's core hours and exempt them from the filing time requirement specified in the ATR. This justification must be provided by email to the following address - FAX-LATA-ALCD@otc-cta.gc.ca.
This would typically include urgent requests for approval/permits to operate:
Canadian-originating entity charter flights; and
Canadian and foreign-originating fifth/seventh freedom charter flights (where in addition to notifying or obtaining a permit, the carrier must request that a condition be added to its non-scheduled international licence pursuant to subsection 74(1) of the Canada Transportation Act).
The Agency will consider each request and determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether it is convinced that the request is truly urgent in nature, and one that could not have otherwise been planned for and handled during normal business hours.
The minimum filing time provided for under the ATR ranges from 48 hours (third/fourth freedom) up to 30 days (fifth/seventh freedom) before the first flight. Carriers should not assume that their request for an abridgement of time will be approved. They are therefore encouraged to inform their repeat customers of this change in approach for handling these applications, and to plan the submission of their application sufficiently in advance to avoid unnecessarily resorting to the after-hours service and potentially facing a denial on short notice.
iii. Carriers who require information on the Agency's services should visit the Agency's Web site or contact the Agency during normal business hours. Inquiries and other information requests of this nature will no longer be responded to through the after-hours service.
While the Agency's assessment is that the after-hours service has primarily been used for non-urgent matters that could be handled during regular business hours, the Agency recognizes that there are legitimate urgent requests. With the intent of continuing to be responsive to these very few requests, the Agency will be implementing the following measures to minimize the potential impact that the elimination of the after-hours service may have on carriers and their clients.
3. Canadian-Originating Entity Charters
On request, the Agency will consider exempting carriers from the requirement to obtain a permit for Canadian-originating passenger, cargo and livestock entity charters, on a case-by-case basis. In support of their request, carriers must demonstrate why the exemption is necessary, including a description of the anticipated substantial impact, if any, that the discontinuance of the after-hours service will have on their operation.
Carriers who wish to seek this exemption are encouraged to file their request well before September 30, 2013 so as to ensure that their request can be processed before the after-hours service is discontinued. Meanwhile, the measures described in section 2.1 ii. above will be applied to all requests received on the after-hours service.
Note that carriers that do not obtain the necessary exemption will be required to obtain their program permit during core business hours following the discontinuance of the after-hours service.
4. Canadian and foreign originating fifth/seventh freedom air ambulance charter flights
The Agency is in the process of developing a proposed solution to continue to be responsive to the needs of the few carriers that operate time-sensitive fifth/seventh freedom air ambulance charter flights.
In the coming months, the Agency will consult with the Canadian industry on this proposal. Results of the consultation will be communicated to the after-hours service users in due course, prior to September 30, 2013. Meanwhile, the measures described in section 2.1 ii. above will be applied to all requests received on the after-hours service.
Based on the Agency's assessment, there is no evidence that other fifth/seventh freedom requests previously handled after hours were truly urgent and could not have been handled during core business hours.
5. Other requests/authorities
While the after-hours service has, on occasion, been used to grant other authorities, these situations have been the exception which neither justifies maintaining the after-hours service nor taking particular measures to address them, should they surface again in the future.

Children ages 9 to 13 need 1,300 milligrams of calcium a day to keep their bones and teeth strong. Children ages 4 to 8 need 800 milligrams of calcium per day. They also need vitamin D, which helps the body use the calcium. Milk is fortified with vitamin D. Many foods contain calcium. The best sources are milk, yogurt and cheese. Fish, soy products and nuts also are good sources of calcium. Some fruit juices, cereals, breads, snacks and other foods have added calcium.
Compare your choices. Read food package labels and Nutrition Facts labels. Products that are fortified with calcium are labeled on the package. Low-fat and fat-free milk provide the same amount of calcium as whole milk.
Drink low-fat or fat-free milk with every meal (1 cup of milk has 300 milligrams of calcium).
Have low-fat yogurt for a snack or dessert ( 8 ounces of yogurt has 415 milligrams of calcium).
Use low-fat or fat-free milk instead of water when making hot cereals or soup.
Add low-fat cheese to soups, casseroles or vegetables as a topping (3 tablespoons of cheese has about 300 milligrams of calcium, or 30 percent of the daily value).
Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Remove cheese from packaging and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk egg until foamy. In a small nonstick skillet, mix Italian seasoning with breadcrumbs and place over medium heat. Cook and stir breadcrumbs until lightly browned, about five minutes.
Dip one piece of string cheese in egg until coated and then into toasted breadcrumbs, coating completely. Redip the string cheese in egg and again in breadcrumbs, if desired. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining string cheese and place on baking sheet 1½ inches apart. Spray string cheese lightly with cooking spray. Bake five to six minutes or until heated through.
Serve with warmed spaghetti sauce for dipping.
Makes six servings. Each serving has 200 calories, 10 grams (g) fat, 14 g carbohydrate and 30 percent of the daily value for calcium.

Q: Pandas: create dataframe without auto ordering column names alphabetically I am creating an initial pandas dataframe to store results generated from other codes: e.g.
result = pd.DataFrame({'date': datelist, 'total': [0]*len(datelist),
                       'TT': [0]*len(datelist)})

with datelist a predefined list. Then other codes will output some number for total and TT for each date, which I will store in the result dataframe.
So I want the first column to be date, second total and third TT. However, pandas will automatically reorder it alphabetically to TT, date, total at creation. While I can manually reorder this again afterwards, I wonder if there is an easier way to achieve this in one step.
I figured I can also do
result = pd.DataFrame(np.transpose([datelist, [0]*l, [0]*l]),
                      columns = ['date', 'total', 'TT'])

but it somehow also looks tedious. Any other suggestions?

A: result = pd.DataFrame({'date': [23,24], 'total': 0,
                       'TT': 0},columns=['date','total','TT'])

A: Use pandas >= 0.23 in combination with Python >= 3.6.
result = pd.DataFrame({'date': datelist,
                        'total': [0]*len(datelist),
                        'TT': [0]*len(datelist)})
retains the dict's insertion order when creating a DataFrame (or Series) from a dict when using pandas v0.23.0 in combination with Python3.6.
See https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.23.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0230-api-breaking-dict-insertion-order.

A: You can pass the (correctly ordered) list of column as parameter to the constructor or use an OrderedDict:
# option 1:
result = pd.DataFrame({'date': datelist, 'total': [0]*len(datelist),
                   'TT': [0]*len(datelist)}, columns=['date', 'total', 'TT'])

# option 2:
od = collections.OrderedDict()
od['date'] = datelist
od['total'] = [0]*len(datelist)
od['TT'] = [0]*len(datelist)
result = pd.DataFrame(od)

The Liability Risk Retention Act (LRRA) is a federal law that was passed by Congress in 1986 to help U.S. businesses, professionals, and municipalities obtain liability insurance which had become either unaffordable or unavailable due to the "liability crisis" in the United States. Request a complimentary Guide to the 1986 Risk Retention Act.
In passing the Liability Risk Retention Act, Congress provided insurance buyers with a marketplace solution to the "liability crisis," enabling them to have greater control of their liability insurance programs. To achieve this goal, Congress created two entities -- risk retention groups (RRGs) and purchasing groups (PGs).
A purchasing group (PG) is comprised of insurance buyers who band together, typically on a national basis, to purchase their liability insurance coverage from an insurance company, including a company operating on an admitted basis, a surplus lines basis, or a risk retention group. As the name implies, the PG serves as an insurance purchasing vehicle for its members.
The primary difference between risk retention groups (RRGs) and purchasing groups (PGs) is that RRGs retain risk while PGs do not. PGs purchase insurance from an insurer, which issues the policies and serves as the risk bearer. RRGs, as insurers, issue policies to their members and bear risk. Another key difference between the two entities is that RRGs typically require members to capitalize the company whereas PGs require no capital. Other differences derive from the way in which the two entities are regulated, both under the Liability Risk Retention Act (LRRA), as well as state laws. Another difference has to do with reinsurance, which almost all RRGs purchase.
For both risk retention groups (RRGs) and purchasing groups (PGs), the Liability Risk Retention Act (LRRA) requires that members be homogeneous, i.e. engaged in similar businesses or activities that expose them to similar liabilities. This is an important similarity, as PGs can reorganize into RRGs at a future time.
For both risk retention groups (RRGs) and purchasing groups (PGs), the type of insurance coverage permitted is set forth in the Liability Risk Retention Act's (LRRA's) definition of "liability," which includes all types of third party liability, such as general liability, errors and omissions, directors and officers, medical malpractice, professional liability, products liability, and so forth. The LRRA does not extend to workers compensation, property insurance, or to personal lines insurance, such as homeowners and personal auto insurance coverage.
As insurance companies owned by their members, some of the key advantages offered by risk retention groups (RRGs) to their members relate to the control members obtain over their liability programs. This control often translates into lower rates, broader coverage, effective loss control/risk management programs, participation by RRG members in favorable loss experience, access to reinsurance markets, and stability of coverage, notwithstanding insurance market cycles.
Purchasing groups (PGs) provide advantages for their members, their insurers, and the agents/brokers who administer the group program. For PG members, the PG offers tailor-made coverage, broader coverage terms, lower rates, loss control/risk management programs, and often provides rewards for good loss experience, such as dividends in the form of credits against next year's premium. For insurers, PGs offer the ability to achieve greater profitability. For agents and brokers, PGs offer the ability to add value to transactions and retain business.
The Risk Retention Reporter has been monitoring the formation of risk retention groups (RRGs) and purchasing groups (PGs) since 1987 with the cooperation of state insurance departments. Before offering insurance coverage to state residents, RRGs and PGs must register with state insurance departments in compliance with the Liability Risk Retention Act and state laws.
Risk retention groups (RRGs) are often formed from trade and professional associations, which serve as the sponsor for the RRG liability insurance program. Purchasing groups (PGs) are most often formed by insurance professionals, including agents, brokers and insurers, based upon an identified need of commercial insurance buyers.
Although the Liability Risk Retention Act is a federal law, it has no enforcement mechanism of its own, and relies wholly on state insurance departments for its implementation. Because of the differences between risk retention groups (RRGs) and purchasing groups (PGs), the regulation differs for each of the entities. For risk retention groups (RRGs), the state in which the RRG is domiciled has primary regulatory authority over the entity. For purchasing groups (PGs), regulation entails not only the domiciliary state of the PG, but regulation of the PG's insurer, as well as its agent and/or broker.
As specialists in the Liability Risk Retention Act, we provide professionally written, practical and relevant information that enables you to participate in the development of risk retention group (RRG) and purchasing group (PG) programs.

A Liberal International Order Starts at Home
These are tough times for many democracies, argues Colin Robertson, but it's not too late to reinvigorate domestic and international institutions.
Colin Robertson
By: Colin Robertson
Vice President and Fellow at the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute
What to expect from new ambassadors out of Canada and the United States
As pressures rise, so must Canada's spending on defence
What to expect from Obama's final year in office
Arguments about intervention aside, the Syrian episode raises a bigger question: How do we restore trust in our elected governments, our domestic democratic institutions, and the liberal international order?
Angst in democracies is not new. In the 1930s, the democracies were threatened by collectivist totalitarian movements and the international order withered away. This is not the problem today. Neither is it the kind of ungovernability – the 'crisis of the state' – that the Trilateral Commission worried about in the 1970s. Survey after survey demonstrate a lack of public trust in government. This is mirrored by a similar disappointment in the United Nations. It is not that we lack democratic energies. On both sides of the Atlantic there is active citizen engagement on issues like climate change, gender equality and gay rights. But the formal institutions of government are in atrophy. There is no active movement for institutional reform or constitutional adjustment. UN reform is an oxymoron.
'The Democratic Disconnect: Citizenship and Accountability in the Transatlantic Community', recently released by the Transatlantic Academy, with contributors from Europe, the U.S. and Canada, assesses the economic, political and demographic challenges confronting the democracies. Gridlock and polarization, say the authors, characterizes the United States. In Europe, institutional stalemate goes beyond the financial crisis. Canadians, they write "worry about the tendency of their political system to place largely unaccountable power in the hands of the prime minister."
In terms of the international order, the report identifies three trends: First, the increasing public disillusionment with military interventions and their conviction that problems at home should be the priority; second, the steady rise of, and co-ordination between, a group of new states, some democratic and others authoritarian. Often led by the BRICs, they enjoy the benefits of the liberal international order but they aren't as ready to support its institutions; third, there is exhaustion with multilateralism in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. All three phenomena were evident in the June meeting of the G8 and in last week's St. Petersburg G20. The upshot is disequilibrium within the international system. Fatigue grows. Isolationism beckons.
So what to do? The first step, the authors argue, begins at home. Public institutions have to reconnect with their citizens. The authors argue that political parties are the critical building block and that leaders need to spend more time in actively engaging their citizens. Reinvigorating our democratic institutions, argues the report, will revitalize the liberal international order. Liberal democracies have always promoted institutions of international co-operation and governance in tandem with domestic innovation because they are "profoundly interdependent". Break this link and the authors describe a pivot away from universal and multilateral institutions toward forms of minilateralism and exclusivity.
It's an interesting argument. We know what happened when the liberal world order broke down in the first half of the last century. There are war graves across Europe and Asia that attest to our commitment and sacrifice to restore international order. It took decades of careful statecraft to create the architecture designed to ensure peace and security. In creating the United Nations and its various agencies, Canadians were active and present because it reflected our values and served our interests.
The United Nations has never met the high expectations of its creators and efforts at reform have fallen short. Yet we now look to UNICEF and the UNHCR to take leadership in dealing with the Syrian refugees. We turn to the Security Council for a peaceful solution. UN weapons inspectors are preparing the report that will guide their action. A little known UN agency, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, will take the lead in disposing of Syria's chemical weapons. In time, the perpetrators of the crimes will face either divine justice or the International Criminal Court.
There will be bumps on the road to Damascus. Armed intervention is still on the table. In the meantime, the machinery of international order is at work. As they draft Canada's remarks to this year's General Assembly, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Minister John Baird should keep in mind the enduring utility of the UN and its institutions.

Abrupt Rise in Demand for N95 Mask due to Pandemic is Likely to Create Short-term Opportunities for Manufacturers
Published Date : Apr 2020
N95 Mask is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve protection from airborne particles. The 95 mask when carried are expected to block at least 95% of 0.3 micron test particles. Although these respirators are not oil-proof.
Global N95 Masks Market is valued at USD 740.24 Million in 2018 and expected to reach approximately USD XXXX Million by 2025 with the CAGR of approximately 8% over the forecast period.
All major countries highly affrected by COVID-19.

Market Dynamics and Global Supply-Demand Chain
Manufacturing Capacities:
The U.S. and China are among the most affected countries by COVID-19 and are also among the largest masks producers in the world. China owns the capacity to produce more than 8 billion units annually and hold approximately 50% share of the global N95 mask production. The U.S. market consisting of the second most number of mask producers in the world after China. However, even after such a huge production capacity, these markets are falling short to cater to even domestic demand. Hence, cars, electronics, and diapers manufacturing facilities are converted and re-tooled to produces N95 masks. For instance, Zettl Automotive an automotive part manufacturer has re-tooled its leather seat manufacturing facility to produce surgical masks to cater to increased demand.
The leading companies including 3M and Prestige Ameritech have increased their production capacity to cater to increasing demand generated due to pandemic. For instance, on 30th March 2020, 3M announced it has doubled its production of N95 to 1.1 billion per year.
How Europe is dealing with the situation?: Apart from the U.S. and China, Europe is another most COVID 19 affected region. Based on European standards FFP2 masks are considered as alternatives for N95 masks and demand for these masks is mostly catered by Chinse manufacturers. For instance, LVMH a luxury goods manufacturer ordered 40 million health masks from Chinese distributors to cater to increasing demand. Italy requires around 3 million masks per day during the current situation and most of this demand id fulfilled from Chinese import.
The COVID-19 outbreak compel manufacturers to constant mass production of masks. Honeywell, 3M, Prestige Ameritech, Shanghai Dasheng, Te Yin, DACH Schutzbekleidung GmbH are some of the leading mask producers across the globe.
Counterfeit Products are Likely to Hamper the Growth Of Market During COVID 19 Outbreak
The emergency and huge demand for N95 masks have paved the way for counterfeits to enter into the supply chain. Several health care facilities and medical centers reported receiving counterfeit products labeled as N95 masks. Immediate shortages of N95 created an opportunity for scammers to sell counterfeit products into the market. Till 26th February 2020, China seized around 30 million face masks which were supposed to spread over 37 countries across the globe.
Apart from the temporary rise in demand, the global N95 mask market is likely to witness decent growth during the upcoming years owing to several advantages over other respiratory protective devices. However, the economic disruptions resulted from COVID 19 outbreak are likely to hamper the growth of the market during late 2020 and 2021. Respiratory protective devices such as N95 are an inevitable part of the healthcare chain and is the primary driver for the growth of the global N95 market.

The first and foremost aspect to consider is the size. Lingerie that is not of right size can cause discomfort and you may look strange in it. Even the best outfit might look inappropriate when you wear under clothes of wrong size. Approximations do not work in getting the right size of lingerie. The easiest way to find your size is to take your measurement using a measuring tape. You could then compare this measurement to the table available at the lingerie stores. You could also visit a store to take help in getting the right measurement.
Lingerie is available in several different styles made of different fabrics. You can purchase lingerie in materials like flannel, linen, satin, cotton, silk and velvet. You need to make sure that the material you choose is right for the design of the lingerie. The bras and under wears you wear should definitely accentuate or flatter your curves and suit your body structure well. It should also fit your body well. It should neither be too tight nor too loose.
The lingerie you choose should suit your personality. For instance, if you are a serious person, under wears and bras with lots of lace and embroidery, or something that is too seductive might not suit you, and you would not be yourself. The women's lingerie you choose should boost your confidence level, but should not make you self conscious. If you are self conscious, you may not be able to work or move around with confidence.
The manufacturers of women's lingerie see to it that the lingerie they design suits the common skin tones and hair colors of women. The lingerie you wear should complement the color of your skin and hair. There are a few general guidelines that you could follow for the choice of lingerie colors also. Bold and rich colored lingerie suit the brunettes the best, while pastel shades suit blondes the best. Red haired wearers look best in earthy shades, and common colors like black, white and red would suit almost everyone.
You can try and find a match between your skin color and color of the lingerie also. Pastel colored lingerie look best on fair complexioned wearers, while darker shades would look best on slightly tanned women. Dark skinned females look their best in pastel or in bright shades, as these colors form a good contrast with their skin color.
Your body size also is a factor in determining the kind of lingerie that suits you the most. Dark shades would give a slimming effect, and bright colors make you look larger than you actually are. It is important that you choose the right design that suits you too. The design you choose should enhance your best features and hide the not-so-good ones.
The right lingerie can give you a stunning look, and fill you with loads of confidence to face the crowd.

There is always something special about meeting your sporting hero.
It's the summer of 1991. After spending the late '80s wandering the cricketing wilderness, Australia is back on top, and have given England a thumping in the Ashes.
In the western suburbs of Brisbane, a young Chris Hartley is re-enacting the highlights in his front yard. He throws a ball against the brick wall, before picking up the bat to play a sparkling cover drive.
Suddenly, the game is interrupted by a blue Pajero heading down the street. As per the rules set by the umpire (Mum), the Test match grinds to a halt.
The car pulls up to the kerb and the driver's window slowly rolls down. Looking out is Australian captain Allan Border, who has a grin on his face.
"[He] said 'G'day mate' and gave me the thumbs up," Chris remembers.
"I reckon it completely stopped me in my tracks at the time. Mum said that I came running in the front door and could hardly even speak. I was that excited."
That eight-year-old, playing cricket with bat, ball and a brick wall, would go on to play 131 first-class games for Queensland, and become the most successful wicketkeeper in Sheffield Shield history.
On the surface, Chris seems like an easy-going guy. But dig a little deeper, and you find a man who is dedicated to the game and to the art of wicketkeeping.
Since debuting on the domestic scene in 2003, Chris has been one of Queensland cricket's most loyal servants, winning four one-day and two Sheffield Shield titles with the Bulls.
"Winning a final or a championship, those are the strongest memories because that's why we are out there playing," says Chris.
"It's a huge amount of work to win a four-day or five day game of cricket. And to be able to do that over the course of a season and then to win the final, a lot of people wouldn't understand the amount of work and the time and energy that you and your teammates put in."
[latest_videos_strip category="cricket" name="Cricket"]
The two titles Chris won with Queensland were incredibly different. "The first one [in 2006], I was a youngster in a side of champions," says Chris.
"The second Sheffield Shield that we won [in 2012], myself and James Hopes were the senior players, we really had to stand up. That was the game I was man of the match, where I got a hundred in the final, and that was very satisfying."
Ever since he picked up the gloves, in the under 10s at Kenmore Cricket Club, Chris wanted to play for Australia. He progressed quickly through the junior system, often playing above his age.
After cutting his teeth playing grade cricket for the University of Queensland, he soon faced his next big challenge – entering a Queensland squad stacked with talent. Alongside national stars like Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds, the side contained local legends like Jimmy Maher, Martin Love and Stuart Law.
The man Chris would replace was Wade Seccombe, who himself had achieved great success at domestic level, yet never managed an international appearance. The two of them struck up a close friendship during their time in the squad together.
"[Wade] was an absolute superstar wicketkeeper for Queensland," Chris recalls. "He's a fantastic gentleman and was always willing to give advice, always willing to listen, always willing to help me.
"That first game, he didn't say a lot other than to go out there and enjoy myself, but he did leave a handwritten note in my locker, which was a really nice, personal touch."
Chris' first-class debut was in late 2003, as the Bulls hosted South Australia at the Gabba, recently renovated into a concrete colosseum. The Redbacks struggled on the bouncy wicket, managing just 204. When Chris came in to bat, Queensland were 5-225, with a slender 21 run lead. The game was in the balance.
"There were nerves because it was something new, I was playing with some of my heroes in that game," says Chris. "[But] when you play at a level for the first time, you don't have many expectations because you've never been there.
"You sort of play with a lot of freedom so I was able to go out and try and convert the nerves into a lot of excitement and have a lot of fun with it, and that's what I did."
Chris scored 103, putting on a 218-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Ash Noffke. The Bulls ended the innings with a 297-run lead, which South Australia couldn't overcome, as Queensland won the match by an innings and 137 runs.
Chris was the first Queenslander since Matthew Hayden to score a first-class century on debut. But even though his spot in the team seemed secure, Chris wasn't willing to rest on his laurels.
"I think it was Wally Grout who once said, 'Never give a sucker an even break' when it comes to your wicketkeeping position. Never give anyone a sniff. There's only one spot and if someone takes it, well, you're sitting on the sidelines," Chris says.
"I remember someone else saying that, if you're the fifth best batsman at a club, you're still playing first grade. If you're the fifth-best wicketkeeper, you're playing fifth grade, so simply by numbers you need to never take your position in the side for granted.
"That makes wicketkeepers very hungry and determined."
Chris remained a hungry and determined player throughout his career. He played over 100 consecutive games for Queensland, that streak ending last month, when he encountered a hand injury he couldn't overcome.
His form didn't wane with age; He averaged 76 with the bat in his final season, head and shoulders above the competition. Even as his career wound to a close, he remained dedicated and committed to the game.
"I made it a goal that I wanted to be the number one choice for as long as I could," Chris says.
"That meant there was a lot of work, a lot of preparation and a lot of fitness that had to go into it, but I loved playing the game, and it's those things that drive you through the tough times, to make sure that you keep enjoying the cricket that you are playing."
Coach Phil Jacques played against Chris during the latter stages of his career, before taking his first coaching job with Queensland in 2015.
"He was a really determined, gritty, hardworking player who always seemed to bail his side out of trouble," Phil says.
"I think that grit and that determination and the sheer single-mindedness to do the best possible job for the team and be accountable for every moment he was in really rubbed off on the playing group. I think it was something that he was always renowned for as a player and having him in your team and being one of the leaders was great for a coach starting out in the game."
Despite his first-class achievements, when Chris chose to hang up the gloves in March, the baggy green had eluded him. One could argue that his career blossomed at the wrong time; he was too young when Adam Gilchrist retired in 2008 and too old when Brad Haddin was dropped from the side in 2015. But Chris leaves the game having no regrets.
"I know that my ability and my performance warranted selection at different times. But was the window of opportunity open to be picked? Probably not," Chris says.
"My parents always taught me that whatever you are doing, anything in sport or in life, all you can do is your best. I know that I did everything that I could and I know that had an opportunity presented itself, my game would have been up for it.
"Yeah, there are frustrations on the way, where I felt that I was doing my best and I wasn't getting picked. [But] that's life and you don't always get what you want in life. So, you take solace in doing your best, day in, day out."

The Roar's 2019 Cricket World Cup awards: From player of the tournament to biggest disappointment and everything in between
There has never been a better or more infuriating finish to a World Cup: a twice-tied match separated only by an absurdly mandatory criterion.
How else can tied grand finals be decided?
Sunday night's Cricket World Cup final was lauded as one of the greatest ODIs in history. So, to have it decided by a boundary countback has left a sour taste in the mouths of many.
Who's in - or out - of Ashes contention following the World Cup?

Husband was out of town over Memorial Day weekend visiting his kids, and I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to watch Silent of the Lambs for the first time.
Hat tip to Lillian Cohen-Moore.
We're taking Memorial Day week off at the blog and will be back next Monday! There will still be Narnia and Twilight posts on Tuesday and Thursday, but moderating will be slim-to-light. Please be extra careful to respect the safe space while we're gone. Thank you!
So here's something that is probably going to shock everyone: I think Chapter 14 is probably my favorite chapter of Twilight. (And, yeah, I know, I said something similar about Chapters 12 and 13.) And it's funny for me to say that because Chapters 12, 13, and 14 all contain some hugely unhealthy problematic stuff in them. And we need to look at that.
Actually, no joke, they totally are, and if I were a responsible adult I would be concerned for real live environmental reasons. Because I'm not, however, I'm concerned because I like honey and because I think bees are cool.
In high school, our campus was invaded by bees (actually Carolina yellow jackets). In short order, I became the bee (read: yellow jacket) whisperer: the girl who could have five wasps crawling on her face and not freak out; the one who could swipe a panicked yellow jacket out of the air mid-classroom, calm it down, and deposit it outside. At the height of the invasion, they would swarm anyone who dared eat lunch outside; I was one of the few who negotiated a truce, filling my soda bottle cap full of sugar water and placing it a few feet from my food, thus letting them drink their fill while I enjoyed my lunch unmolested. Somehow other kids felt this was giving in. Wevs, I got to eat my cookies without worrying about getting stung.
Open thread! How do you feel about bees? How do you feel about wasps? Are there any insects you have a particular affinity to? If you're allergic to bees, does that give you more incentive to stay calm around them, or make you more afraid of them? Any cool stories regarding bees or wasps? Have you ever made an uncanny connection to a wild animal?
When we last left Eustace, he had been herded by the author into a Valley of No Escape and was trembling before a dangerous creature that he doesn't recognize (the narrative states that he doesn't even know the word "dragon") and torn between hoping the dragon won't eat him versus noticing with some degree of pity that the dragon is old and weak.
There is an update to the comment policy. I would like to ask everyone to re-read it, if only because it lays out the rules regarding the use of Disqus in this space, which we've not had a chance to post since the 2013 update. Thank you!
Okay. Deep breaths. We're going to get through this chapter. We just need to pace ourselves, keep our eye on the finish line, and remember to keep breathing. Not unlike Bella, actually, as she struggles to survive her exciting new relationship.
When we last left Bella and Edward, everything was all misty and romantical because Edward had confessed that inconveniencing his vampire family was (shockingly!) better than murdering Bella. Obviously because she's so important and not because being a murderer is a terrible, terrible thing to have to live with for eternity. And plus that particular ship has already sailed for Edward, though I'm not sure that Bella knows that yet.
I've been re-reading Lies My Teacher Told Me this week, and thoughtfully considering Loewen's discussion of how American textbooks deliberately silence Keller's adult work as a socialist in order to keep her "safely" contained as an inspirational disabled child who overcame her disability in a sufficiently vague manner that doesn't have to be interacted with as it concerns social class and marginalization in America when I stumbled onto this quote which is basically pure, distilled incredible.
Last night, a preview to a movie we were watching concerned the rise of some white male director in Hollywood whom I have never heard of. There was a tagline at the end of the preview which said something along the lines of "[Person] really epitomized the American dream: that you can achieve anything if you just work hard enough." I mentally added, "...if you're an educated able-bodied white cis straight male member of a high enough social class, and also have a significant degree of good luck."
I know we already did a "Spring Holiday" open thread, but I'm about to be out of town for the next 5 days celebrating Beltaine (and, er, camping with an infant, which may be awesome or may be a TERRIBLE idea), so you get it again.
Two things I noted from the event rules: they specifically list, as a rule, that "No" means "no", not "keep asking" or "try again later" (a good rule to have under any circumstances, but especially at Beltaine, which is linked in many people's minds to sexuality and sensuality); and the women's tent is specifically noted to be open to "all who identify as girls or women" (emphasis mine.) This pleases me.
Anyway! Open thread! To change it up a little: does anyone have any good festival (Pagan or otherwise) or camping stories? Anyone have any songs they like to sing when gathered with friends, or beverages (alcoholic or non) that are just perfect for passing hand-to-hand through a group? What sort of events do you like to go to that get you away from the "real" world for a day or a weekend or a week?

How might Crail have looked 335 million years ago?
Crail is a small fishing village located in south east Fife (Scotland) and provides a fascinating insight into the Carboniferous period 335 million years ago. What distinguishes Crail from the surrounding localities is the occurrence of several well preserved Arthropleura (giant centipede) trackways, which can be seen in situ in the neighbouring bay. Please note, the trackways are scientifically important and must not be collected or damaged, we ask that all visitors respect this.
Left: View over Crail harbour from the road leading into the village. Right: A small coffee shop provides refreshments and views over the bay.
Parking is available throughout the village and a small coffee shop provides refreshments and stunning views across the bay. Access to the beach is made alongside the western edge of the harbour (see photo above-left), this leads into the first of several small bays described below.
The geology of Crail
The rocks at Crail were formed within an expansive delta system during the Carboniferous period (Visean stage / Holkerian sub-stage), approximately 335 million years ago. Much of the rock exposed today was formed by sands and silts carried and deposited by rivers across the region. It's interesting to note that at this time the river system flowed south west, completely opposite to the present situation; the source of the rivers during this time was where the North Sea is today.
This period represents a great change in the earth's history, with land plants evolving into large trees and ferns, and amphibians, reptiles and giant flying insects inhabiting the humid forests. One of the notable inhabitants of the forest floor was Arthropleura, a giant centipede which evolved from crustacean-like ancestors and was able to grow larger than modern Arthopods because of the high percentage of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere at that time and because of the lack of large terrestrial predators.
Where to look for fossils?
Fossils can be found among the pebbles and foreshore exposures within each of the neighbouring bays west of the harbour. Heading along the beach (at low tide) the first fossil you're likely to encounter is a giant tree stump (see below-left); continuing further you'll shortly reach the site of the Arthropleura tracks (see below-right).
Left: Giant tree stump visible in the bottom-left of the photo. Right: Horizontal bedding and location of the Arthropleura tracks.
There are several Arthropleura tracks, the most striking of which is located above sea level in the cliff section shown above-right. The first bay ends shortly after the tracks, beyond which several more bays can be found and provide the best opportunity to collect fossils.
As with all coastal locations, a fossil hunting trip is best timed to coincide with a falling or low-tide. For a relatively low one-off cost we recommend the use of Neptune Tides software, which provides future tidal information around the UK. To download a free trial click here.

What fossils might you find?
Crail is most famous for the occurrence of Arthropleura trackways in the cliffs and on the foreshore boulders; these impressive giant centipedes measured up to 2 meters (over 6 feet) in length and comprised of an armoured exoskeleton and dozens of sharply pointed legs running along its underside.
A model Arthropleura displayed in the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow.
The spacing of the tracks at Crail indicate this particular specimen measured over 4 feet. The most impressive pair of tracks occur above the foreshore (described above), each comprising two clear uniform impressions of the creatures many feet. Given the similarity of the two tracks and the unique circumstances that led to their preservation, it's most probable that they were left by the same creature within a short time of each other (possibly the same day).
Left: A trace fossil - two trackways left in the sediment by an Arthropleura giant 'centipede' hi-res image. Right: A close-up of the tracks.
Important: Please respect the trackways and do not damage or attempt to collect any part of them. We wish to remind visitors that these are extremely rare and scientifically important (in their life position).
During our recent visit we observed a further two separate trackways, as shown below; these particular specimens are being subjected to extensive weathering by the sea, the result of which is apparent and a great shame. We hope that the addition of Crail to the website may serve to amplify the efforts to preserve them.
Left: A second Arthropleura trackway on a foreshore boulder. Right: A third trackway.
As well as several trackways the first bay is also host to a range of other fossils, in particular a large tree stump (below-right) and ripple marks formed in the Carboniferous sediment (below-left).
Left: Ripple marks on the surface of a large foreshore boulder. Right: A large tree stump on the foreshore.
Hammering is not recommended in this area, as the vast majority of finds are in situ and should be left for others to observe. Among the foreshore boulders it's possible to collect small pebbles containing evidence of trees and other vegetation present at the time; the specimens below show two separate types of tree material.
Left: A fragment of tree bark (Lepidodendron). Right: Another fragment of tree bark.
The most common fossils along this stretch of coast are the trunk and roots of Lepidodendron trees, which appear in situ of the foreshore. The bark is identifiable by its characteristic diamond-shaped leaf cushions, whereas the roots (known commonly as Stigmaria) are covered by a series of small pits (see below-left), from which smaller root appendages grew. Some Lepidodendron species could grow up to 40 metres; the roots spread horizontally, indicating humid environments.

Leaving the first bay and moving further along the foreshore, the volume of beach pebbles increases and as does the opportunity to collect fossils. If you're equipped with a hammer and chisel (see equipment) you can find a variety of fossils within them. The photo below-right shows a closeup of a split pebble, within which a small bivalve shell can be seen alongside plant debris. The presence of these two fossils indicates the environment was densely vegetated and in immediate proximity to water.

Please note, the foreshore west of Crail is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which makes it illegal to hammer or remove any situ material.
It's a good idea to spend some time considering the tools and equipment you're likely to require while fossil hunting at Crail. Preparation in advance will help ensure your visit is productive and safe. Below are some of the items you should consider carrying with you. You can purchase a selection of geological tools and equipment online from UKGE.
Hammer: A strong hammer will be required to split prospective rocks. The hammer should be as heavy as can be easily managed without causing strain to the user. For individuals with less physical strength and children (in particular) we recommend a head weight no more than 500g.
Chisel: A chisel is required in conjunction with a hammer for removing fossils from the rock. In most instances a large chisel should be used for completing the bulk of the work, while a smaller, more precise chisel should be used for finer work. A chisel founded from cold steel is recommended as this metal is especially engineered for hard materials.
Safety glasses: While hammering rocks there's a risk of injury from rock splinters unless the necessary eye protection is worn. Safety glasses ensure any splinters are deflected away from the eyes. Eye protection should also be worn by spectators as splinters can travel several metres from their origin.
Strong bag: When considering the type of bag to use it's worth setting aside one that will only be used for fossil hunting, rocks are usually dusty or muddy and will make a mess of anything they come in contact with. The bag will also need to carry a range of accessories which need to be easily accessible. Among the features recommended include: brightly coloured, a strong holder construction, back support, strong straps, plenty of easily accessible pockets and a rain cover.
Walking boots: A good pair of walking boots will protect you from ankle sprains, provide more grip on slippery surfaces and keep you dry in wet conditions. During your fossil hunt you're likely to encounter a variety of terrains so footwear needs to be designed for a range of conditions.
For more information and examples of tools and equipment recommended for fossil hunting click here or shop online at UKGE.
Protecting your finds
It's important to spend some time considering the best way to protect your finds onsite, in transit, on display and in storage. Prior to your visit, consider the equipment and accessories you're likely to need, as these will differ depending on the type of rock, terrain and prevailing weather conditions.
Left: Fossil wrapped in foam, ready for transport. Right: A small compartment box containing cotton wool is ideal for separating delicate specimens.
When you discover a fossil, examine the surrounding matrix (rock) and consider how best to remove the specimen without breaking it; patience and consideration are key. The aim of extraction is to remove the specimen with some of the matrix attached, as this will provide added protection during transit and future handling; sometimes breaks are unavoidable, but with care you should be able to extract most specimens intact. In the event of breakage, carefully gather all the pieces together, as in most cases repairs can be made at a later time.
For more information about collecting fossils please refer to the following online guides: Fossil Hunting and Conserving Prehistoric Evidence.

In the practice of law in some States, paralegals are individuals working in the areas of the legal profession which usually became Assistant advocates and individuals.
A paralegal is responsible for conducting the investigation, analysis and regulate his daily tasks in a given case. When the work of paralegals is already approaching the intersection from the case, then their work is limited and must be in the supervision of advocates, who will take responsibility for the work of a paralegal.
Many paralegals continued his studies at the law school and eventually became an advocate. In the United States, the profession of paralegal has increased since it was introduced in 1960.
During that year, law firms and individual legal practitioners use the road for work efficiency and cost effective in carrying out its work. Where community justice-seekers in need of legal services. Currently, more than 224,000 paralegals who work and here are some categories of Paralegals.
Granting services in the field of law to a person involved in a case or matter, which is characterized by: the granting of legal aid services for free, is set aside for those who cannot afford, and the main motivation is by defending law enforcement the interests and rights of small people.
In addition to contain the meaning and purpose of giving legal aid services, also closer to understanding who we know as advocates who give aid to poor people ranging from who can afford or can't pay.
Aims to provide assistance to members of the public that the operation was aimed at eliminating discriminatory facts in enforcement and granting of services among poor people who earn small wealthy communities with which controlled the source of funds and positions of power. The legal service operates more inclined to resolve any dispute with roads traverse the way of peace.
How much does a Paralegal make in America?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual salary for a Paralegal in America the average is $49.960. Then for the lowest salary is less than $29,390, and the highest salary was $75,400. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the profession of Paralegal is expected to grow by 18 percent from the year 2010 to 2020.
