In 2014, the Office of Undergraduate Education created the Undergraduate Success Scholars (USS) program to provide formal guided pathways for select underrepresented minority undergraduates. The program structure addresses the needs of each incoming cohort by building upon each academic year in a manner that facilitates achievement of academic goals and personal development. Participants in the USS program have the opportunity to attend individual meetings, exclusive cohort events (networking, informational sessions, and workshops), and campus-wide activities. The USS program team continuously assesses the skills and academic progress of participants in order to make informed decisions about referrals to on campus resources. Each year, Undergraduate Success Scholars create personalized success plans, receive mentorship, participate in cultural experiences, and contribute to the campus and external community through service.
The deadline to accept your Fall 2018 invitation has passed. Fall 2019 invitations will become available May 1, 2019.
The Undergraduate Success Scholars (USS) program mission is to serve underrepresented minority (URM) students with engagement opportunities, academic support, mentorship, and guidance to meet both personal and professional goals. The Undergraduate Success Scholars program aims to increase URM student enrollment, success, and retention.
The application to the university serves as the USS application. Eligible candidates are underrepresented minority, first time in college freshmen who are degree seeking undergraduates. Interested students must apply and gain admission to UT Dallas by the regular application deadline. Students selected for the USS program, must accept membership by the deadline stated in your invitation.
Attend the mandatory USS retreat at the beginning of the Fall semester.
Participate in at least one USS event each semester.
Meet with the Office of Undergraduate Education once per semester.
If enrolled in a course supported by Peer-Led Team Learning or Supplemental Instruction, participate in those resources.
Workshop registration for Fall 2018 will open on August 18, 2018.
"My success coaching meeting was great! When I met with my mentor, he advised me how to study more efficiently - especially in classes in which I was struggling."
"I thought the Scholars Reception was awesome, it was nice knowing so many people actually cared about my success. It honestly made me feel like I could depend on them when I am seeking advice."
"I am so thankful for what USS has done, and for showing that advisors care about me! Words can't express how grateful I am!"

Con este código te quedará claro qué genera qué código. Mi suposición es que no se produce ninguna excepción por culpa de problemas de comunicaciones y que el problema puede estar devolviéndolo el servicio web al que te conectas.
Con lo que te devuelva la ejecución de este código podré ayudarte a depurar mejor qué está pasando. No me vale con lo que muestra el navegador, necesitaría el contenido HTML ya que var_dump podría contener datos con etiquetas XML que serían interpretadas por el navegador como parte del contenido de la página.

Hotel brands are increasingly offer unusual concepts, with a goal of offering their customers an original experience. In order to stand out, some of them go further and have bet on an offer addressed to specific groups: LGBT, literature or art lovers, or even fans of certain sports (Formula 1, golf ...). Who are these "tribe" brands that make the spirit of community a weapon for differentiation?
While today's hotel market is marked by the growth of alternative accommodation offers, some hotel chains are trying to stand out by targeting "tribes". These brands are characterized by their concept centered on a specific way of life or interest. Because they make it possible to target a specific public, often "active promoter" online and on the social networks, without being cut off from the general public, they are increasingly numerous.
Launched in 2003 with the opening of a first property in Barcelona, Axel Hotels offers an unprecedented concept: a hotel chain addressed to the LGBT community. Although the brand mainly targets this community in support of a marketing strategy that clearly embraces the LGBT visual codes, it does not exclude heterosexual couples and introduces itself as a "hetero-friendly" brand extolling diversity and tolerance. It currently has 5 properties located in Barcelona (two addresses), in Berlin (two properties), in Ibiza and in Maspalomas on the island of Gran Canaria, and will soon open a hotel in Madrid.
Winner of the 2014 Worldwide Hospitality Awards, the Dutch brand The Student Hotel relies on its hybrid concept aimed at the wider public of "millennials", and more particularly students: the brand offers rooms for short stays as well as student accommodations. Its trendy design properties include workspaces and libraries, play and meeting spaces, and also organize numerous social events (trips, parties ...). The chain currently has 16 properties under operation and / or development in the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Groningen, Barcelona, Paris, Eindhoven, Maastricht, Florence and Bologna.
Targeting art lovers, the Australian boutique-hotel group Art Series Hotel offers a concept centered on contemporary art. Established in the cities of Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Bendigo, in trendy neighborhoods, each of the group's 6 properties offers a colorful setting composed of original creations made by an Australian artist. In addition to an atypical design, they also include libraries, television channels dedicated to art, and provide clients with creative tools. The brand also offers guided tours on the theme of art in the districts where hotels are located.
And then there are the properties belonging to the Society of Literary Hotels: these target all literature lovers. Each property presents the work of a famous writer, they have the particularity to provide clients with a large selection of books translated in all languages. They also offer an atypical setting composed of works of art recalling the author's universe. Founded in 2010 by Jacques Letertre, the network currently has three addresses from the Best Western group: The Best Western Premier Le Swann dedicated to Marcel Proust in Paris, The Best Western Literary Hotel Gustave Flaubert in Rouen and the Best Western Plus Literary Hotel Alexandre Vialatte in Clermont-Ferrand. Two other properties are expected to join the network shortly. The Hotel Littéraire Marcel Aymé will open its doors at the end of 2017 and will be located in the district of Montmartre; The Hotel Littéraire Blaise Cendrars, located near the Gare de l'Est in Paris, will welcome its first customers in 2018.
Gradually integrated into Kyriad Design's Enzo label as part of a partnership signed with Louvre Hotels in 2010, Enzo Hotel properties are attracting automobile aficionados. This unusual concept founded by Yves Richer in 2007 offers guests decoration inspired by the atmosphere of the paddocks of Ferrari and F1, where the checkered flag flirts with the colors of the Italian car racing team. Present in France and Luxembourg, the hotel group currently has 12 properties including 8 under the Kyriad Design Enzo banner.
This brand, however, is not the only one trying to attract this clientele: Choice Hotels group's Ascend Collection label has just announced the opening of a property in the new Motorworld Köln-Rheinland, dedicated to the personal car collection of the former Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher. Located in Kerpen, Germany, the birthplace of the pilot, the V8 Hotel Köln @Motorworld will include 10 rooms decorated on the theme of the automobile and 5 lofts allowing guests to park their cars next to their room.
Besides the automobile, golf is another sport with appeal on which hoteliers can rely. Many groups integrate golf courses within their upscale properties, including Marriott International with its St Regis, Westin, Sheraton, JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton brands. The Fairmont brand, now in the portfolio of AccorHotels, is also deeply rooted in the world of golf with the Fairmont St Andrews and no fewer than 17 golf resorts being the subject of dedicated offers. Finally, this is also the case of the Trump Hotel Collection, whose golf resorts have an active promoter in the person of the current President of the United States.


If you remember back to THIS post, I played with the Drunkards Path block for my DQS12 swap quilt.
I ended up hand quilting with black Perle 8 cotton.
I'm just a little bit addicted to hand quilting at the moment.
I wasn't sure if I liked it, so I made another one – this time a circle of geese, which was so much fun to make.
I used the free pattern from www.piecebynumber.com.
Black solid prima homespun cotton for the background with Hoopla for the geese.
I hand quilted in a bright pink perle 8, which really stands out on the black fabric. This photo really doesn't do it justice.
I still wasn't sure which one I like better, so thought, why not make a two sided mini quilt?
Black binding finished it off. I'm pleased with the result.
I hope my partner likes it too.
This looks great. The idea of having it double sided works so well. I hope your partner is over the moon about it!
It looks awesome! The circle of flying geese is one of my fav blocks!
This quilt is adorable. I think your partner will have trouble deciding which side to display.
Wonderful. I'm sure she will like it. I know that I would.
They're both beautiful! Your partner is one lucky gal.
I love both of them! Your partner will be thrilled especially since she can flip it over to have a "new" wall hanging.
So beautiful! I love a black background wroth color.
Your swap partner is very lucky! I love the colors and the hand quilting.
Ohhh I love it!!!! Looks soo gorgeous, your partner will be over the moon!!
I sure hope I'm your partner. What a beauty!
Genius! Love your hand quilting.
You're so clever...wish you and I lived closer so we could have sewing days and I could learn so much from you. I bet your partner loved her double sided quilt. Fantastic work....my favourite side is the flying geese...spectacular.

Observation: Opposite Pitch Stabilization. Pitch RC Control OK. Roll Control opposed. Roll Stabilization OK.
Observation: Directions confirmed. Roll stabilization reversed..
Observation: Roll, Pitch & Yaw Stabilization confirmed. Elevator and roll control Reversed.
I can not seem to find a balance where my helicopter will stabilize and have correct actuation by RC. I have a feeling it might be because I am using Blade 130x Airframe setup on a T-REX250. The differences are that the elevator servo is at the back instead of the front. Maybe an issue with the mixer? Do you have any suggestions?
I think you are right, the mixer you are using is incorrect for your servo configuration. From http://discuss.px4.io/t/pixracer-with-t-rex-250-tail-lock/9384/3?u=bresch I see that you are using a 0-120-240 configuration. In your case, if you have the elevator servo at the back, it should be 60-180-300.

My journey from SJP to ESG-focused advice firm
By Saloni Sardana
When David MacDonald envisioned his retirement, he planned to be spending most of it walking his dog and picking up plastic bottles on the beach as a way of contributing to the environment.
Little did he expect to be running a financial advice business exclusively focused on environmental, social and governance factors. However, that is what he did.
Mr MacDonald left St James's Place in 2018 after an 11-year tenure, to set up his company called The Path.
He says he was motivated by an emerging interest in environmental matters over the past few years, after observing that a number of fund managers were not investing sustainably, despite appearing to do so.
I came to realise that a lot of companies that people invest in have got investments which encourage the use of fossil fuels
It seems many of them were engaging in the process of greenwashing, which is when companies appear to be more sustainable than they are.
"There is a lot of pressure by environmental activists – such as Extinction Rebellion – on local councils and institutions to divest any investments made into fossil fuels out of their pension funds.
"Some faith-based groups and charities are keen to move their money out of fossil fuels," Mr MacDonald says.
The profit pursuit that drives companies to try and make money "regardless of any situation" also facilitated his decision to found The Path.
He says: "I came to realise that a lot of companies that people invest in have got investments which encourage the use of fossil fuels."
While Mr MacDonald says capitalism is needed in order for clients to maximise profits, he questions whether it has prevented people from wanting to invest sustainably.
Mr MacDonald says The Path involves dealing only with clients who have got the desire to have their personal financial portfolios aligned with ESG investments.
However, he has not actually come across any clients who are not willing to consider ESG factors while investing.
"We started [onboarding clients] before Christmas and things are gathering pace through [the first quarter of the year]," he adds.
The fees levied by the advice company are typically around 2 per cent of the funds invested with a 0.75 per cent ongoing management fee.
David MacDonald's career highlights
2018-present: Founder of The Path
2007-2018: Senior partner at St James's Place
1995-2007: Independent financial adviser at Capulet Corporate Consulting
He says the main challenge of running the business is assessing whether a market exists in the first place.
"We started with a clean sheet of paper, no existing clients, no enquiries, no real model to follow.
"The biggest challenge is understanding and reacting to consumer demand and forging into the unknown. Is there a market there?" he adds.
"I was fed up being part of this capitalist system, which I had naively imagined to be problematic from an environmental perspective," Mr MacDonald says.
Mr MacDonald came into the industry by chance. He was born and raised in Edinburgh. He says: "There were only two careers in Edinburgh at that time. One was banking, the other one was insurance.

Word is starting to get out. D.E. Haggerty posted a feature of A Bull by the Horns on her website. I hope you will help me spread the word by letting your friends know the book is available.
Murder mysteries solved by mystery writers are boring. Mystery writers who are murder suspects—much more interesting. Especially if a poet, composer, artist and irascible old farmer have just as much motive and are equally annoying.


The 20th annual Alzheimer's Memory Walk will be held Saturday at Island Grove Park in Greeley.
The event is put on by the Alzheimer's Association and has raised more than $260 million nationwide to help those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The Memory Walk is the largest event to raise awareness and money for Alzheimer's care, support and research.
There is no fee to participate, but each person who walks is asked to make a personal donation and ask friends and family to do the same. Event registration begins at 8 a.m. and the walk begins at 9 a.m.
This year, for the first time, you can support the Alzheimer's Association by participating in their Sleep-In event. This allows participants to stay in bed but make a donation or sign a pledge form online.
To make a donation or sign a pledge form, register for the Memory Walk or to get more information visit http://www.alz.org.


What's Near Gold Bluffs Beach Campground?
This is a fantastic beach campground on the redwood coast. However, parking is very limited and many sites do not have level parking so large campers not recommended.
Great place for Roosevelt Elk spotting too.
I have been in this area a few times and love it. It seems to get more and more expensive to stay in state parks and this one is no exception. At $35 a night it makes me want to look else where.

L.A. To Consider Complete Dispensary Ban At Tuesday Meeting
By Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ on May 28, 2012 Dispensaries, Legislation, News
Where's Weed?
Here we go again. A marijuana dispensary ban will be considered at Los Angeles City Hall tomorrow, Tuesday, May 29. The L.A. City Council's Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) committee will look at the proposed ban.
"A complete obliteration of Los Angeles' famous and numerous pot shops is on the table," writes Dennis Romero at the LA Weekly.
The committee will consider two options:
• A "gentle ban" proposed by Councilman Paul Koretz, who claims its a "more reasonable" approach through which L.A. proceeds with a ban on dispensaries, but uses "prosecutorial discretion" to abstain from enforcement actions against dispensaries deemed not to be in violation of a set of City Council-imposed "restrictions."
"Seems that it remains to be seen how the survivors would be chosen," Romero writes.
• Flat-out banning all dispensaries until the California Supreme Court has its say on a pivotal Long Beach case (Pack v. City of Long Beach) which prohibited that city from regulating dispensaries in the same way that Los Angeles does.
A medical marijuana advocate told the LA Weekly to expect fireworks at the PLUM committee meeting; cannabis patient advocates are expected to show up en masse.
The meeting starts at 2:30 p.m. in Los Angeles City Hall's Board of Public Woks Royal Hearing Room (Room 350), 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, California.

Synthetic Aesthetics
Investigating Synthetic Biology's Designs on Nature
By Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Jane Calvert, Pablo Schyfter, Alistair Elfick and Drew Endy
As synthetic biology transforms living matter into a medium for making, what is the role of design and its associated values?
Paperback $35.00 S £28.00
ISBN: 9780262534017 376 pp. | 8 in x 9 in 80 color photos, 13 color illus., 11 b&w photos, 30 b&w illus., 2 tables January 2017
Far from an ivory tower text, Synthetic Aesthetics is a true collaboration between scientists, designers and thinkers who cross borders and disciplines to test the limits of biology in the digital world. Can bacteria be programmed to alert you when you're ill? Will we one day devise a synthetic organism that can suck up pollution in the wild? Is it possible to decentralise the petrochemical industry and distribute production and power? How long until machines take on lives of their own? Sooner than most of us imagine, it seems. By joining forces, the authors are able to bring disparate theories into the world, closer to life and into language even the laymen can understand.
It is essential that designers and artists engage with the emerging field of synthetic biology, but how is not always clear. Synthetic Aesthetics provides a fascinating interdisciplinary discussion of the key issues and ideas driving developments in this field, but more importantly for artists and designers, it offers a range of ways designers and artists from very different points on the creative spectrum can critically engage with this exciting field.
Anthony Dunne
Head of the Design Interactions Programme, Royal College of Art
Synthetic biology manipulates the stuff of life. For synthetic biologists, living matter is programmable material. In search of carbon-neutral fuels, sustainable manufacturing techniques, and innovative drugs, these researchers aim to redesign existing organisms and even construct completely novel biological entities. Some synthetic biologists see themselves as designers, inventing new products and applications. But if biology is viewed as a malleable, engineerable, designable medium, what is the role of design and how will its values apply?
In this book, synthetic biologists, artists, designers, and social scientists investigate synthetic biology and design. After chapters that introduce the science and set the terms of the discussion, the book follows six boundary-crossing collaborations between artists and designers and synthetic biologists from around the world, helping us understand what it might mean to 'design nature.' These collaborations have resulted in biological computers that calculate form; speculative packaging that builds its own contents; algae that feeds on circuit boards; and a sampling of human cheeses. They raise intriguing questions about the scientific process, the delegation of creativity, our relationship to designed matter, and, the importance of critical engagement. Should these projects be considered art, design, synthetic biology, or something else altogether?
Synthetic biology is driven by its potential; some of these projects are fictions, beyond the current capabilities of the technology. Yet even as fictions, they help illuminate, question, and even shape the future of the field.

Synthetic Aesthetics…is a freewheeling book with 20 authors and may irritate conventional scientists—some of the ideas were dreamed up while 'performing a dance based on the myth of the Golem', for example. But it certainly explains the key ideas of the field and leads you to many lateral conversations about what it may become. In the first few chapters, one central concern is what is meant by 'design'. An engineer might think of designing a bridge to a particular specification; a synthetic biologist of designing a microorganism with a new commercial application, pumping out green gasoline for example; but a real designer, a fashion designer, for example, is doing something else. As artist Daisy Ginsberg puts it, design 'is about possibility', the unimagined things that life could be. Synthetic biology, she writes, has been addressing 'humanity's needs'—limitless fuel, for example—rather than 'our needs as individual, diverse and complex humans'. This is refreshing: worries about the separation between the top-down design of the future and those who must live with the designs are quite rare in science.
Synthetic Aesthetics is wise in not attempting a comprehensive survey of this fast changing and much contested industry, but by taking a collaborative approach that attempts to integrate design based questioning with scientific practice, it provides lots of juicy clues about where we could be headed.
PostMatter
Synthetic Aesthetics takes a timely view of the interface between science and design from a number of angles. The charismatic introduction sets the stage for the different in-depth views that follow. This book is a good, accessible read for all and as such will also make a great addition to education in biology, engineering, design, and humanities.

Just as post-war designers Ray and Charles Eames showed us how molded plywood techniques for building airplane wings could result in unexpected, and now timeless, pieces of furniture, artists and designers like Daisy Ginsberg are showing us how bacteria and other biological building blocks may give us entree to an entirely new species of experiences.

Q: How to read a csv file into a structure linked list in c I am new here and to programming in general ( note to admins and the gurus of programming to go easy on me, thanks) and i am doing a homework for school in c about a small program that reads a csv file into a singly linked list where the data is a structure, then displays it, and sorts it and writes it out to a text file etc..
the problem i am having now is either with the read function or the display function :
the result is that the data is either being read or displayed in the reverse order and one line is shifted down..
i have banged my head for a while on it, but now i am running out of time and i thought to ask it here, maybe to get some feedback from fresh eyes.
Attached as a link is a screenshot of the contents of the file to read and the output of the program (apparently because i am a new user, i cant upload the photo directly to the site..)
thanks in advance
here are the relevant lines of code :
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>

        return;
    }

    //reading the file and creating liked list

    char parsedLine[100];
    while(fgets(parsedLine, 100, fPointer) != NULL)
    {
        struct node *node = malloc(sizeof(struct node));

        char *getName = strtok(parsedLine, ";");
        strcpy(node->Name, getName);

        char *getFirstname = strtok(NULL, ";");
        strcpy(node->Firstname, getFirstname);

        char *getInitials = strtok(NULL, ";");
        strcpy(node->Initials, getInitials);

        char *getMobile = strtok(NULL, ";");
        strcpy(node->Mobile, getMobile);

        printf("%s %s %s %s %s %s %s \n",temp->Name,temp->Firstname,temp->Initials,temp->Mobile,temp->Class,temp->InitialSort,temp->RandomSort);
        temp = temp->next;
    }
    printf("\n");
    printf("===========================================");

}

output of the program

A: The way you create your list is as a stack, because you add each new node at the head of the list. To get the correct order you need to append at the end (tail) of the list.
You can do that by keeping track of the last node in the list (you only need it in the Read function). Initially head and tail are equal, if there only one node in the list both the head and the tail of the list would be the same.
Once you have added the first node, each iteration you make tail->next point to the new node you have created, and make tail equal to the new node.

If you're unsure about its operations I suggest you use a pen and some papers and use it to draw the list and all operations on it. Use squares as nodes, and arrows as links (or pointers in general).

Manufacturing Intelligence Delivered in Minutes vs. Days With Award-Winning Technology
By: elliTek, Inc.
Data Commander MES Gateway Appliance
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - April 2, 2018 - PRLog -- The New Industrial Age is upon us! The days of mechanization, water, and steam power are in the rearview. Manufacturing is moving towards cyber-physical systems. The deployment of Smart Manufacturing can be a complicated and lengthy process. The Data Commander™ was invented to simplify this process and has been awarded the Golden Mousetrap Winner in the Design Hardware & Software category.
The Golden Mousetrap Awards acknowledge and recognize people, companies, and technologies who are driving innovation in design, engineering, and manufacturing. Design News' editors looked at hundreds of innovation-leading submissions to come up with the best in the level of innovation, benefits to the user, and market differentiation.
The Data Commander™ connects two different systems. Imagine trying to communicate with someone that speaks a different language. That barrier is nonexistent with the Data Commander™. The inventor, Brandon Ellis, founded elliTek, Inc. in 2009. Brandon began his career in motion control & robotics in the mid-1990's and ultimately transitioned into plant floor data systems. After 20 years in the industrial automation industry, Brandon had his Ah-Ha moment realizing that there MUST be a better way. "Why can't we create a platform which empowers the plant floor engineer instead of continuing to require weeks of complex, custom programming on every project?" Out of necessity, the Data Commander™ was born.
For those not in the manufacturing environment, here is a quick synopsis. In the manufacturing world, there exists a growing need to move production data between the factory floor (aka operational technology or OT) and the information technology (IT) level, where office enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems reside. This process is quite involved. Additionally, when the IT group is required to implement security updates or changes to plant floor computers, the outcome can often result in a shutdown of the associated production processes on the factory floor. As you can imagine, time down means people aren't working, production has stopped and lost revenue.
The Data Commander™ changes the game entirely. It is a disruptive technology based upon the removal of the PC from the factory floor. The Data Commander™ is an MES (Manufacturing Execution System) gateway appliance explicitly designed for connecting the plant floor (OT) side to the office (ERP/IT) side. A combination of proprietary hardware and software allows data to move without compromising the security on either side and in minutes, versus days. Further, the point-&-click nature of the platform removes complexities allowing implementation by most any non-programmer.
"We are thrilled to be recognized by Design News," said Brandon Ellis, Owner of elliTek, Inc., and inventor of the Data Commander™. "The Data Commander is empowering manufacturing process engineers to be self-sufficient and to work smarter rather than harder."

Dancing partners at the synapse: Auxiliary subunits that shape kainate receptor function

Kainate receptors are a family of ionotropic glutamate receptors whose physiological roles differ from those of other subtypes of glutamate receptors in that they predominantly serve as modulators, rather than mediators, of synaptic transmission. Neuronal kainate receptors exhibit unusually slow kinetic properties that have been difficult to reconcile with the behaviour of recombinant kainate receptors. Recently, however, the neuropilin and tolloid-like 1 (NETO1) and NETO2 proteins were identified as auxiliary kainate receptor subunits that shape both the biophysical properties and synaptic localization of these receptors.

The Mars Exploration Program is a science-driven program that seeks to understand whether Mars was, is, or can be, a habitable world.
The New Frontiers Program represents a critical step in the advancement of solar system exploration.
The Galileo and Cassini missions to Jupiter and Saturn have greatly deepened our understanding of those giant planets and their intriguing moons.
The Vision for Space Exploration is fostering a renaissance in lunar science, as the return of humans to the Moon both requires and enables greater scientific understanding of Earth's natural satellite.
Small spacecraft and satellites help NASA advance scientific and human exploration, reduce the cost of new space missions, and expand access to space. Through technological innovation, small satellites enable entirely new architectures for a wide range of activities in space with the potential for exponential jumps in transformative science.
Recognizing that science and human exploration are mutually enabling, NASA created the Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI) to address basic and applied scientific questions fundamental to understanding the Moon, Near Earth Asteroids, the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos, and the near space environments of these target bodies.

How I came to be in this anthology was something of a miracle, and most unexpected. Danijela Trajković contacted me to ask permission to translate some of my poems into Serbian. I am not sure how she stumbled across my poetry, but her anthology of translations includes Fiona Sampson. Pippa Little, John Greening, Wendy Klein, Richard Skinner and George Szirtes, as well as myself. It is called 22 Wagons, The Collection of Anglophone Poets of 21st Century.
Danijela translated my poems 'The Glass Swan', 'How to Capture a Poem', and 'What Became of the Black Piano'. I am sure her translations are wonderful. Unfortunately I can't read Serbian but feel so honoured to think I can now be read in that language. I share a lot of my ethics of truth and clarity with Danijela, so I know her translations will have caught the spirit of the poems.
I love the cover too. It's a wonderful thing to have the book on my 'Angela Topping' shelves.
I am not sure where to purchase a copy, but I am sure Danijela can help.
Thank you Maureen. You will know how this feels because you've been translated yourself, into Russian!
Certainly was a surprise to be asked.
Congratulations, Angela. I have some Serbian friends who like poetry and it's always worth reaching out to other cultures.
Thank you. I love the idea of being read in Europe. I do so love being part of the EU and hope my work can reach more people in mainland Europe.


ESMA works in the field of securities legislation and regulation to improve the functioning of financial markets in Europe, strengthening investor protection and co-operation between national competent authorities. The idea behind ESMA is to establish an "EU-wide financial markets watchdog". One of its main tasks is to regulate credit rating agencies. In 2010 credit rating agencies were criticized for the lack of transparency in their assessments and for a possible conflict of interest. At the same time, the impact of the assigned ratings became significant for companies and banks but also states.

Why wont forces against delegitimization admit they are Zionist?
By Gil Stern Stern TROY
MAY 9, 2011 18:13
At the recent, impressive, left-to-right, rookies-meet-veterans, American Jewish Committee Access/Reut conference against delegitimization, held in Washington, DC, I again encountered a bizarre phenomenon. Many American Jews now understand the need to combat those who escalate attacks on specific Israeli policies into attacks on Israel's right to exist. These activists reject those who would rather demonize Israel than work for peace. But they recoil from calling themselves "Zionist" despite being Zionist, given their support for the Jewish people's rights to their national homeland in Israel. These Pro-Israel-Forces-Against-Delegitimization (call them PIFADs) usually use the word "Zionist" with the prefix "anti." They admit to fighting anti-Zionism but, unlike Australians and South Americans among others, won't admit they are Zionist. This approach keeps PIFADs defensive, letting their enemies define the battlefield. Fighting "delegitimization" without championing Zionism is like opposing slavery without endorsing freedom.
When I talk Zionism to PIFADs, they tell me that the age of "isms" is over, that "Zionism" does not poll well, that the term makes young Jews uncomfortable, that the Z-word is associated with the unreasonable right, not with the centrists and leftists so essential to success, especially on campuses.
But running away from "Zionism" is cowardly and self-destructive. PIFADs risk legitimizing the delegitimizers by internalizing Zionism's delegitimization.
"Delegitimization" is a polysyllabic mouthful, an abstraction few outside the pro-Israel community understand. We can never a win a fight against the delegitimization of Israel by surrendering to the decades-long campaign delegitimizing Zionism, the movement which established Israel. If a century ago Zionism brought pride back to the term "Jew," today, Jews – including Israelis – must bring pride back to the term "Zionist."
In Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, the African-American scholar Randall Kennedy demonstrates the "protean nature" of all terms, especially in politics. Words are magical, containing the power to hurt or heal, to kill or save. Groups win fights by using the magic of words to define them and their aims – and they lose fights by letting others define them. If African-Americans can redefine "the N-word," if Gays can transform "Queer" into a rallying cry, if women can march to "Take Back the Night," why can't pro-Israel activists resurrect the proud label "Zionist"?
The pro-Israel camp is abandoning Zionism because of the systematic campaign singling out one form of nationalism, Jewish nationalism, meaning Zionism, as racist. Radical leftists and Islamists united in their Red-Green Alliance against Zionism – overriding disagreements regarding gay rights, women's rights, and basic civil liberties. Most Americans have rejected this New Big Lie and still support Israel. But, David Olesker of the Jerusalem Center for Communication and Advocacy Training notes, that "the one area where the delegitimization campaign has made inroads on campus is amongst Jewish students." Even if most Jews reject the Arab stereotype of Zionism, they have endured enough embarrassment over this oft-targeted term to want to flee from it.
This retreat is self-defeating, especially now when we need a Big Tent Zionism, committing right and left to three ideas: Jews are a people; Jews deserve a state; and the Jewish state belongs in the land of Israel, the Jewish homeland. Endorsing Big Tent Zionism demonstrates our latitude to debate particular Israeli policies while agreeing on Israel's right to exist. Championing Big Tent Zionism allows leftists to prove their patriotism mixed with their criticism and rightists to demonstrate tolerance mixed with their nationalism.
Zionism cannot belong to the right. Just as the only two Democrats to win America's presidency since 1980 knew to champion family, faith, and the flag, pro-Israel advocates must learn from Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to treat Zionism as a magic word uniting all who by opposing delegitimization support the legitimacy of the Zionist project, meaning the Jewish state, meaning Israel.
PIFADs should go "poof" and magically transform into Zionists. Beyond the tactical decision to resurrect the term, we need an ideological renewal – in Israel and the Diaspora – reminding us that Zionists do not just defend the Jewish state, but aspire to fulfill its Jewish-democratic ideals. We need an educational resurgence, embracing the challenge advanced by Professor Kenneth Stein of Emory University, to make all Jews as familiar with Israel as they are with the Four Questions. We need an institutional reorientation, reintroducing and reintegrating Zionism into our schools, camps, synagogues, clubs, advocacy groups, in the Diaspora and Israel. And we need a personal reappraisal, finding the "I" in Zionist, repositioning each of us to fit into the Jewish story and the Zionist narrative.
In the musical "South Pacific," Emile DeBecque asks an American soldier, "I know what you are against, what are you for?" I am for a Big Tent Zionism, which mourns together on Yom HaZikaron, celebrates on Yom Ha'atzmaut, then dukes it out over strategies, tactics, borders, and dreams on other days. I am for a Rainbow Zionism which identifies "red lines" we don't cross in criticizing Israel, such as delegitimizing comparisons to South African Apartheid and Nazism, while affirming "blue and white lines," our common beliefs (delineated at www.restoringsanity.info). I am for an Aspirational Zionism which embraces our Altneuland – Old-New land – to fulfill personal and collective dreams. I am for a Smart Zionism which targets its many enemies but avoids words like "traitor" when criticizing friends, and dodges distracting, self-destructive brouhahas like the recent opposition to granting the playwright Tony Kushner an honorary degree, which was bound to be caricatured as a McCarthyite attempt to squelch free speech. And I am for a Proud Zionism, which refuses to let our enemies define us, our divisions distract us, or our fears paralyze us, but reminds us how lucky we are to undertake this wonderfully challenging project of building a modern, safe, democratic Jewish state in our traditional homeland.

Q: Downloading an XML file on an iPhone, storing it and then using it I am currently coding an application that is using an XML document to retrieve data (I am using libxml2.2.7.3). I set it to load a local XML-file (in the project in xCode, so along with all the other project files). I found that I wanted to be able to edit this XML file and then have instant updates on the application. I fetch the data from the XML document like this:
NSArray *dagensRetList = [self getAllItems:@"//dagensret" fileName:@"dagensret.xml"];

I thought that the easiest way to come around this would be to download the xml-file whenever there is a new version of that document available from the webserver that I provide (on every application launch / clicking the refresh button it would download the new file from the server - maybe let it check whether they have the same  tag (weekNumber, it's a Danish coded application))
So I am thinking on what would be the most convenient way to download the file and should I keep this way of fetching the data or would it be more wise to keep the document on the server and they would then read directly from the server everytime? (It could however end up using a lot of traffic, but it's a product for my school so the user-base would be around 1200, but less as not everyone is using a smartphone)
How would you download a file from a webserver and then keep it cached?

A: You should definitely cache the file on the device in case the user can't connect to the server.
Something like this should get you started:
// Create a URL Request and set the URL
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://google.com"]
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

// Display the network activity indicator
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:YES];

// Perform the request on a new thread so we don't block the UI
dispatch_queue_t downloadQueue = dispatch_queue_create("Download queue", NULL);
dispatch_async(downloadQueue, ^{

    NSError* err = nil;
    NSHTTPURLResponse* rsp = nil;

    // Perform the request synchronously on this thread
    NSData *rspData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&rsp error:&err];

    // Once a response is received, handle it on the main thread in case we do any UI updates
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        // Hide the network activity indicator
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:NO];

        if (rspData == nil || (err != nil && [err code] != noErr)) {
            // If there was a no data received, or an error...
        } else {
            // Cache the file in the cache directory
            NSArray* paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSCachesDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
            NSString* path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"init.xml"];

            [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:path error:nil];
            [data writeToFile:path atomically:YES];

            // Do whatever else you want with the data...
        }
    });
});

2020 Vision for Worldwide Women's Initiatives
Get ready for the year 2020 and the global anniversaries of landmark policies and initiatives related to women's rights.
Jackie Abramian, PR, Social Media Strategist, Social Enterprise Consultant
"This generation, generation WE, is the one that will disrupt the status quo and shake the foundations of patriarchy, so that no one is left behind"- UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said to an audience of thousands of young women and men who gathered in Madison Square Garden for WE Day UN. [Photo: UN Women/Ryan Brown]
Next year, 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote – and the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the September 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. It is also the 5th anniversary of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), the 20th anniversary of the 1325 Resolution on Women, Peace and Security, and the 10th anniversary of UN Women. In March 2020, the UN will host the 64th session of the Commission on the Status of Women.
A PERIOD OF STRATEGIC ADJUSTMENTS
At the September 9th presentation of the Second Regular Session of the UN Women Executive Board, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka referred to 2019-2020 as "a period of strategic adjustments for UN Women." And the start of a new decade of "UN Women 2.0". A period of change to align UN reform processes and evaluate progress made in the 25 years since the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action .
"With a massive intergenerational mobilization campaign under the theme, 'Generation Equality', we intend to engage a record number of young people for gender equality and mobilize a new generation of gender activists to drive the much-needed change, everywhere," Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka confirmed.
UN Women's recent report, Progress of the World's Women 2019-2020, Families in a Changing World focuses on families. Families are "vital building blocks for successful and thriving communities, societies and economies," says Constanza Tabbush, Research Specialist at Research and Data section of UN Women.
With no single country having fully achieved policies regarding women's empowerment or gender equality, organizations have a pivotal role in insisting governments to ensure that women are at the table.
Democracy Today NGO's 2019 Annual International Conference theme: Women at Peace Table–More Justice for All received funding support from UN Women. Chair of Democracy Today and Vice President and Expert at Council of Europe, Gulnara Shahinian, underscores the importance of having women's voices heard. She is vice-chair of the Working Group on Women, Democracy, Human Rights and Security (WDHRS) at Forum2000 pursuing Václav Havel's legacy to support democratic values and respect for human rights, assisting the development of civil society, and encouraging religious, cultural and ethnic tolerance.
SPEEDING UP PROGRESS
"The year 2020 is indeed a great opportunity to speed up progress," says Tabbush. "Women work more, earn less and have fewer choices about their bodies, livelihoods and futures than men; and they experience multiple forms of violence at home, at work and in public spaces."
Today's authoritarian regimes are cheating women's hard-earned gains. Poland's PiS government continues to restrict women's and reproductive rights with harassment and cutting funds to women's groups. Iran's ban on women entering soccer stadiums to watch men's games, led to 29-year-old Sahar Khodayari's arrest for disguising as a man. When sentenced to six-months in prison, she set herself on fire.
"To stand strong against these worrisome trends is a task all must take to ensure our future is one of equality and justice for all," Tabbush stresses. "Women's rights movements have been an unrepentant force demanding a better world for all. It is critical for states and international organizations to continue their support. Governments must take urgent actions to renew commitments to gender equality."
THERE ARE SOME GLITTERS OF HOPE
Women's rights had some hopeful progress this year. Saudi women gained rights to drive cars (a century late but encouraging). The Indian government criminalized child marriages (finally). Feminists in Tunisia, Jordan and Lebanon fought to remove legislation forcing women to marry their rapists.
The World Bank report ranked Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Sweden at 100 for achieving "equal rights under the law over the last decade." U.S. ranked at 84.
G7's Gender Equality Advisory Council formed at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of UN Women; Emma Watson, actor and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador; Katja Iversen, President/CEO of Women Deliver; and Michael Kaufman, Co-founder of the White Ribbon Campaign-joined 32 others. The Council will deliver a package of recommended laws on "ending gender-based violence, ensuring inclusive, equitable, and quality health and education, promoting the economic empowerment of women and combating discrimination, ensuring full gender equality in policies and public life."
BUILDING BRIDGES OF EQUALITY
Policy makers and gender advocates can use the Progress report to build bridges, find common ground to advance gender equality and provide family support. They can unite to shift the patriarchal, male-dominated societies' continued discrimination against women and girls.
Governments can use the report's cost calculation affordability for a package of family-friendly policies with income support across the life-course and healthcare. A quarter of countries (41 out of 155 studied) could close income, health and care gaps for less than 3% of GDP. Tabbush underscores the significant pay-off of such investments to women and girls, families and the society in providing employment opportunities for women and men in the care sector.
ESTABLISHING EQUALITY AT HOME
There is a worldwide trend of delayed marriage and birth rates among women. Marriage age increased from 21.9 (in the 1990s) to 23.3 years around 2010. The delay empowers women to earn higher education, jobs and financial independence.
Birth rates declined from 4.4 to 2.4. The wider gender equality allows couples a greater ability to have the families of their choosing–directly reflective of improved access to reproductive health care for women and adolescent girls. Women are having fewer children than desired for economic and social reasons, including unpaid care work or accessible childcare services.
There's a prevalence of single-mother households in Latin America and the Caribbean. Nearly 101 million women are raising children on their own-and twice as likely to be living in poverty as coupled families. While most single mothers have jobs, they shoulder earning and caring. UN Women urges governments to consider accessible and affordable maternity and parental leave and universal pensions for single mothers upon retirements.
"Ultimately, the goal of producing the Progress report is to return 'equality back home'–where it starts and where women have the platform to enhance gender equality, women's voice and choice, economic security and physical safety at home, in the workplace and in society," states Tabbush. "There are many issues and policies central to advancing gender equality and supporting families, and we must all work together to bring equality and justice home."

Why I Believe Connecting Women Leaders Globally Is the Key to Positive Change

International Human Rights Day 2019

Truthfully! Have a think about it and be honest with yourself!
Can you see yourself eating like the way you currently are, every day for the rest of your life? I bet you cant!
I think people are terrified to not being "dieting" all year round. Unfortunately, this cannot be done as lean mass (muscle) will start to reduce & metabolism is thus slowed down. Not good news!!!
Have you ever said? I'm never eating chocolate, cakes, biscuits etc for a certain amount of time? A week, a month, a year?!?
No treats whatsoever all year round!! Come on – you seriously don't want any treats EVER!
This is why we recommend FLEXIBLE dieting/eating. Eating good, healthy, nutritious foods 90% of the time with an occasional chocolate bar, burger, alcoholic drink. You can eat these foods and still be in a caloric deficit (fat burning) yet feel like your cheating/enjoying life's fine rewards.
So what's this mean to me?
The answer = Treat yourself occasionally in moderation to avoid feeling deprived and stop the massive binge eating marathon because you stripped all treats out of your diet.

The flag of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region shows a golden eagle supporting the white rocks on a blue ground. In the colors it recalls the ancient Friulian flag with the patriarch Popone's eagle and derives from an allegorical image of this eagle found on an ancient vase kept in the museum of Aquileia, and then connects to the ancient Patriarchate of Aquileia that marked the history of Friuli.

Beer Hargreaves Hill Beatnik XPA
Released September 27th, 2018 2018-09-27 00:00:00
If you know Hargreaves Hill reasonably well, you'll know they've made a name for beers that are typically classically inspired and delivered in refined and traditional packaging. In the past year or so, however, they've loosened the shackles a little and had more fun with some of their limited releases and now, well into their second decade, they're taking things further still with the launch of the Yarra Valley brewery's first ever can.
Thing is, cans don't really fit with the carefully manicured Hargreaves Hill vibe so this XPA is also the launch of what they're tagging the brewery's "rebellious little brother": the Beatnik range. It's one that comes with a focus on design akin to some of the brands that make their way to these shores from Scandinavia, as well as a push towards becoming a more environmentally friendly brewery: biodegradable six-pack holders and 100 percent recycled and unbleached cartons.
All of which is well and good, but what of the beer inside? It's one they've been playing with for a while – if you've had a glass of Gen X, you'll be familiar. Pouring a bright, pale golden and with equally bright hop aromas – tropical, melony and reminiscent of a fruity Marlborough sauv blanc – that feed into juicy fruit flavours atop a slightly grainy base and a decent clip of bitterness, it's a beer that could offer mighty refreshment to the bearded, beanie'd wanderer featured in its accompanying blurb.
Great Northern Hotel
Join the team for a launch party at the Great Northern on October 7.


Image Solutions Photography and Design had the great privilege of capturing the wedding of Mandi and Hardus recently when they tied the knot in a wonderful and cozy ceremony held at Wildekrans in Botrivier. As a wedding photographer, this venue was absolutely perfect allowing for numerous great areas to capture some stunning images. Mandi and Hardus were game for everything and it truly shows in the smiles and expressions on their photographs. Being a wedding photographer, smaller weddings like theirs truly make it wonderful to spend time with the wedding couple. Most of the family and friends came from far north in South Africa including Mandi's parents who drove all the way from Witbank to celebrate this wonderful day with her and their new son in law Hardus.
Marie Kilian Delport - Moooiste foto's. Waar het hulle getrou, met die landgoede en die see?
Sonja and her sister Claudia contacted Image Solutions Photography and Design recently to be the family photographer for them and their grandparents. With Vergelegen chosen as the perfect venue, the day we agreed upon could not have been more perfect. other than our normal shoot times, this one had to be earlier in the morning as Claudia had to leave again for the United Kingdom later that afternoon. It had been ages since I last saw the Keller twins, and it was indeed wonderful to have been chosen as the photographer for their family photographs. Claudia was there on her own with her 8 month old son, Matthew. Sonja on the other hand (now living in Cape Town), had her entire family which included her husband Rolf as well as her two children Daniella and Alex. Both of Claudia and Sonja's parents managed to also be there and together it was indeed the perfect morning for their family photographs. As a family photographer, it is most important to capture the moments and interaction between the family members, and with the Keller family it was indeed fun to capture those moments. The kids were awesome and they just loved running around and smiling for the camera. It can be so tough with kids in pictures, but these kids made my life as a family photographer so easy, I could have kept going all day!! What can I say, these two families were awesome!
One of our dearest lifelong friends Juruan and his bride to be Jackie, asked Image Solutions Photography and Design to be their wedding photographer for their special day and what a beautiful perfect day it was indeed. Not a cloud in the sky and a venue that was picturesque and stunning. Leipzig, the venue, was carefully chosen as it lay nestled at the foothills of the mountains in the Nuy Valley. As a photographer, this venue had all one could ask for. Sprawling lawns and an abundance of picture spots, it was indeed a dream to be the photographer for Juruan and Jackie.
Jackie was helped by all four of her bridesmaids as well as her mother and looked absolutely stunning in her trumpet style wedding dress. She was a vision in white. Juruan's groomsmen were all decked out in their blue pants and matching bow ties. All in all they looked the part. From the ceremony on the lawn to the party in the older cellar, the day could not have turned out any better. They even had a food and wine pairing with some spectacular award winning wines.

Q: dynamic array elements through loop I am trying to create an array of images in javascript for my website when I declare array size it is working but when I am trying to take it as a dynamic array it is not showing images. can anyone tell me what's wrong with this code?
var theImages = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < theImages.length; i++)
{
  theImages[i] = i+".jpg"
}

A: The initial size of theImages is 0.
You need to use
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
  theImages[i] = i+".jpg";
}

replace 5 by the number of images you have.

A: This is happening because you are looping an empty array, the length/size of the array is 0 because you have just created a new array and are looping it without any elements in it yet.
If you wish to add all images to an array, you will have to know the total number of images you have/ count of images, and then run the loop to add the images in the array, which you were able to do successfully you said.
var theImages = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
theImages[i] = i+".jpg";
}

If you are getting the image names for SQL, it is a different query you want to use, let me know if that is what you are looking for.


The national Communities in Bloom jusges were in Ashcroft last week. Steve Preston from Ontario and Gail Pearcey from Newfoundland were given the grand tour by Ashcroft CiB members Andrea Walker and Sandy Butler.
The national judges were here; the winners of Ashcroft's Scott's Best Garden Selection have been announced.
On a day when our weather was unusually unsettled, the Communities in Bloom judges made their way around our Village taking in the many aspects of the criteria for the program.
We toured them from one side of town to the other and they met with Village office staff, asking questions on various bylaws, operations issues and budgets. They toured both the local health care auxiliary thrift store as well as Second Time Around, the museum, the recycling area and the bottle depot.
We drove up and down local streets admiring the neatness of our Village and the care taken in our resident's yards. They were impressed with the baskets on main street, the new street banners, the landscaping around our businesses and the lovely green playing fields at the pool park. The admired our new tennis courts, the student garden area at Ashcroft Secondary School, the murals and flowers on the fence at Ashcroft Elementary School and loved looking around at Desert Hills Ranch.
Heritage Park, which we always say is the "gem of our community," was a huge hit with the judges. They were so impressed with the heritage artifacts, the storyboards, memorial benches, tables and trees and the overall landscaping that has been a joint effort between Communities in Bloom and the Village. Thank you to all businesses and residences for contributing so positively to our community.
Take the time to drive around the Village. Try to look at it through the eyes of judges who have never been here before and visualize how they see it. Neat yards and businesses, virtually no litter or graffiti and an obvious pride in where we live. Well done!


If you ever wonder where those « original_user_id » values we saw in the webservices chapter were stored, have a look at the « extra_field » table. You'll find that users, courses and even sessions all use two « extra » tables that allow us to store a virtually-unlimited amount of additional information and links to other systems.
For users, it's easy : you can define fields through the administration panel. Just click the last link of the users block : « Profiling » and follow the instructions to define a new field.
Since 1.10.0, the admin panel offers the possibility to configure additional course and session fields, and since 1.11.0, you can do that with any supported element through a link at the end of the platform block.
For users, courses and sessions, however, the fields were already available in the Chamilo 1.9 database, so you could use them if you wanted. Web services already used them when creating a new course or a new session through them : they create (or insert data into it if it exists) a field by the name of the value you gave in the « original_course_id_name » parameter to the WSCreateCourse() method, for example.
Either way, you can define new fields manually directly from your database client and use these through plugins, if you want.
Fields definitions are stored in the extra_field table. Values of each user, course or session for these fields are stored in the extra_field_values table.
Check them out, they're a great resource to work with !


Commonwealth offences of importation of border controlled substances.
The team at Emma Turnbull Lawyers have extensive experience in defending drug charges and we have a very particular team of barristers that we brief to appear in County and Supreme Court trials for our clients.
In recent years the law has become more complex and the risks to an individual if you are convicted of drug trafficking have extended beyond a prison sentence. Property can be subject to Forfeiture Orders and a sentencing judge can make a Pecuniary Penalty Order (that you pay the equivalent income tax you should have paid had your drug trafficking income been lawfully obtained).
If you are a drug user, Turnbull Lawyers can refer you to a number of different organisations to assist you in your rehabilitation (whether residential or in the community) and preparation for Court to ensure you obtain best possible outcome.
Please refer to our Judgements page under In the Media tab for a selection of some of the recent drug cases Emma Turnbull Lawyers have been involved in.
To speak with one of our lawyers or to book an appointment please call our office on (03) 9077 4834 or email admin@emmaturnbull.com.au.
