Ok, I'll admit it; I don't have the most organised handbag in the world. But it's a habit that's not going to change any time soon, so anything that helps put things back in order and streamlines my busy life is a winner.
The crux of the problem of a messy handbag is I'm in constant need of my phone throughout the day. This means that every time I get a notification, I find myself rummaging through millions of vaguely familiar 'things' and wasting time before being able to see that either my meeting has been cancelled or that my son needs a lift home from sport.
But recently I've been using Sony's SmartWatch 3, so now when I get a notification, all I have to do is look at my wrist, as the update gets sent through via Bluetooth when paired with my enabled and compatible smartphone. What's even more convenient for me is that because it's running on Android Wear I can use Google's voice command software to tell my son I have a meeting (but sadly not tell my meeting I have a son) by just speaking to my watch.
For me this type of technology, when you get the gist of it, is a marvelous tool and even if you are not an early adopter or tech savvy the benefits of the new array of wearable gadgets such as Sony's new smart watch are truly life enhancing.
In terms of the watch's design, I really like the sporty style and the sleek silicon watchband. Not only is it useful, but it can double as a fashion accessory too.
While I mostly use it while it's connected to my phone, it has a lot of stand-alone features that are particularly beneficial for active sport and music lovers.
Firstly, it has an attached GPS, so it tracks how far you travel on any particular day. Secondly, it's a pedometer that also tracks your steps. And thirdly, you can play your music offline through enabled and compatible Bluetooth headphones, so you can listen while you run (and of course while you're not running too!). You can then analyse this data with the Wear Fitness Personal Trainer app, which is one of the many apps you can download for your Android Wear device.
Also, I found that it works like most other watches; with timers and alarms, and the voice commands were really easy for me to use, as opposed to some of the incredibly fiddly digital watches I've tried in the past. I can set a reminder or an alarm by just speaking to the watch, plus it can also do things normal digital watches can't, such as do quick searches, send emails and take notes throughout the day.
I also loved being able to customise the watch face; instead of having to go to a store and buy a brand new watch in order to make the process of checking the time more interesting, I could just go into the settings and select a new display. And as much as I like any opportunity to shop, I have to admit it's a lot cheaper this way!
Overall, I love my new smartwatch. I prefer texting and emailing by voice than thumb, and I love being able to listen to music via the watch when I go for long walks. It's also definitely preferable to receive notifications by checking my wrist than by delving into my handbag.
Please note: I have been provided a Sony SmartWatch 3 by Telstra free of charge to review. The comments expressed by me reflect my own user experience and personal opinion and are not made on behalf of Telstra.

The Harvey Reservoir Litigation Schedule
December 12, 2017 Hurricane Harvey ClaimsAmy Hargis
The destruction caused by Hurricane Harvey is presenting many complex legal challenges. For homeowners and business owners, there are many uncertainties regarding repairing flood damage. While litigation can sometimes be slow, there have been significant strides made in processing Hurricane Harvey Claims, and a schedule has been put in place to keep the litigation moving forward.
The Court's Efforts to Organize the Litigation
On October 31, 2017, Judge Susan G. Braden entered an order creating a "Master Docket" entitled In re: Addicks and Barker (Texas) Flood-Control Reservoirs, Case No. 17-3000L. Although this is an organizational formality, its creation will enable the court and the parties involved to drill down on important scheduling issues in order to move the cases forward as quickly as possible. The cases filed within the master docket are now accessible on the court's website. The court also conducted a hearing on November 1, 2017 in order to advance the organization and scheduling of the cases. Following that hearing, Judge Braden entered several orders.
Separation Into "Upstream" and "Downstream" Groups
The court has placed the upstream reservoir pooling cases and the downstream Buffalo Bayou corridor inundation cases on separate litigation tracks, recognizing the legal issues for these two groups are distinct. When the government files its initial motions to dismiss the claims, we expect to see them make separate arguments based on whether cases are upstream or downstream. For that reason, the court has also required the law firms involved to designate each of their filed cases as an upstream or downstream matter, and we have done so on behalf of our firm's clients.
Near Term Motions to the Court
The Court has outlined the following schedule to address 1) preliminary jurisdictional motions, and 2) dispositive motions for summary judgment. We expect the government to file both types of motions and engage in every effort to avoid these claims, including appeals. While it is possible the schedule may be disrupted for appeal or extended by the Court, the judge has set out a relatively brisk briefing schedule.
Hurricane Harvey Reservoir Claims Briefing Schedule:
December 8, 2017: The government will file a motion for more definite statement.
December 15, 2017: The parties will exchange mandatory initial disclosures.
December 29, 2017: Document exchanges.
January 15, 2018: Plaintiffs may file amended complaints in response to the government's motion for more definite statement.
February 15, 2018: The government will file a motion to dismiss, likely on jurisdictional grounds.
March 15, 2018: Plaintiffs must respond to the motion to dismiss.
April 2, 2018: The government must reply to plaintiffs' responses to motions to dismiss.
June 15, 2018: The government must file any dispositive motions, such as motions for summary judgment.
July 14, 2018: The Court will conduct a hearing on the motion to dismiss.
July 16, 2018: The parties must respond to the government's motions for summary judgment.
July 31, 2018: The parties may file replies to the motions for summary judgment.
October 29, 2018: The Court will conduct a hearing on the motions for summary judgment.
Litigation, particularly against the government, tends to move fairly slowly. That said, Judge Braden's experience during the Katrina litigation appears to have prompted her to establish an aggressive briefing schedule, and the critical motions to avoid liability should be resolved within the timeframes set out above. In the event plaintiffs are successful on these motions, the government has a right to appeal, and likely will. While firms like ours will do our best to move this forward quickly, the government will work equally hard to slow it down.

Elena Sánchez López, Javier Martínez Jiménez, Los acueductos de Hispania: construcción y abandono. Colección Juanelo Turriano de Historia de la Ingeniería. Madrid: Fundación Juanelo Turriano, 2016. Pp. 295. ISBN 9788494269578.
Aside from the famous aqueduct of Segovia, a remarkably well-preserved and often photographed UNESCO World Heritage Site, most of us would be hard pressed to think of other aqueducts in Roman Iberia. Los acueductos de Hispania: construcción y abandono, a new book about the history and archaeology of urban aqueducts in the Iberian Peninsula, makes details about the many lesser known Iberian aqueducts readily accessible. The book is part of a series of online, open-access books produced by the Fundación Juanelo Turriano, a Madrid-based foundation dedicated to promoting the history of science, technology, and engineering to a broad academic and lay audience. Here, Elena Sánchez López and Javier Martínez Jiménez have compiled new and old data from across the Iberian Peninsula, producing a synthesis of existing information on urban aqueducts. The book—which has a remarkably broad chronological and geographical scope—benefits from the knowledge base of both authors. Together, they cover the entire Iberian Peninsula and discuss evidence ranging from Roman conquest through the Middle Ages. Sánchez López (Universidad de Granada) has previously written on Roman aqueducts across Baetica and produced a detailed analysis of the aqueduct at Almuñécar for her doctoral dissertation and various subsequent articles. Martínez Jiménez (Cambridge University), by contrast, brings expertise on post-Roman evidence for urban water management. His 2014 dissertation was entitled Aqueducts and Water Supply in the Towns of Post-Roman Spain (400-1000). The authors have done us an enormous service, as much of the data comes from recent fieldwork, rescue archaeology projects, and other sources that are difficult to access from outside of Spain and Portugal.
The book is divided into three sections. Chapter 1 situates the topic in scholarship and gives an introduction to Roman aqueducts in general, but with a primary focus on the evidence from the Iberian Peninsula. The second chapter discusses the role that aqueducts played in urban settings, as well as the typical phases of use and abandonment that large aqueducts went through. Finally, chapter 3—the bulk of the volume—is a catalog of 66 aqueducts from across Spain and Portugal, including the island of Ibiza. The book concludes with a series of appendices that present information given in the catalog in comparative perspective. The text is available in PDF, print, and online versions. I recommend the online version, which helps the reader use the text to its full capacity as an interactive research tool. In-text links facilitate jumping between mentions of specific aqueducts in the first two synthetic chapters and their more detailed catalog entries.
Chapter 1 serves as a very brief overview of the history of scholarship on aqueducts in the Iberian Peninsula, methods of studying them, as well as the engineering behind their construction. The first part of the chapter introduces various methods from archaeology, engineering, and history, with short sections on each that are unlikely to be of great utility to specialists. However, given the broad intended audience of the book, the chapter is useful in so far as it introduces the novice to a wide range of discipline-specific methodologies that will help them better understand the terminology used and detail presented later. Included, for instance, are discussions of relative and absolute dating techniques, the mathematical formulas for calculating the speed and volume of water, and the contributions and limits of written sources to the study of aqueducts.
In Chapter 2, "Aqueducts in Context," the authors elaborate on various functional and symbolic roles that aqueducts had to play in Roman cities. They detail how the construction, maintenance and repair, and final abandonment of aqueducts was intertwined with the long-term history of urban places in Iberia. The authors' central argument is that aqueducts were not essential components of Roman cities (just as not all cities had theaters), but that understanding how and why they were built and maintained can illuminate processes of urban development. For instance, some cities—like Carmona and Clunia—had enough cisterns and wells to supply the population and never required aqueducts. Other cities started out with simpler supply systems but added aqueducts so that they could supply new neighborhoods (e.g., Córdoba), public monuments such as fountains and baths (e.g., Italica), or industrial quarters (e.g., Baelo Claudia and Olisipo). Some aqueducts, by contrast, seem to have been constructed as local acts of euergetism or when cities became municipia and maintained as a point of pride, even when other water was readily accessible. This was apparently the case with the famous aqueduct at Segovia, which was constructed in a location with plentiful natural springs and cisterns (p. 72). Since aqueducts are often taken for granted as a typical part of Roman monumentalization and urbanization in the provinces, this chapter is a welcome reminder of just how varied and individual urban histories can be.
The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of the abandonment of aqueducts: while about a quarter were still in use in the 5th century, this number declined steadily in the following centuries. The main exception to this pattern is the aqueduct at Reccopolis, newly constructed as a part of the Visigothic city in 578 AD. The authors bring up an interesting question that is ultimately not possible to answer given the variable quality of extant data: how does the abandonment of aqueducts in Iberia differ relative to other parts of the Roman Empire, like Gaul or Italy, which had vastly different political trajectories between 300 and 700 AD? In the case of Iberia, they argue, financing and specialized labor for aqueduct maintenance was no longer readily available (only four were in use at the time of the Umayyad conquest of Iberia in 711; p. 77). People in many cities adapted by altering the footprint of cities and increasing the use of wells and cisterns for water supply, while surviving aqueducts were privatized to serve Umayyad palaces and private estates.
Chapter 3 is a detailed catalog of 66 aqueducts organized geographically by the Roman provincial territories of Tarraconensis, Baetica, Lusitania, and Gallaecia, with further subdivisions by conventus. While certainly many more aqueducts are known than this, only aqueducts serving urban centers and for which there is material evidence are included. This means that aqueducts used in rural industries—such as agriculture and mining—are omitted, as are urban aqueducts that must have existed but have not yet been found (the authors cite Pollentia as one such example, p. 87). Each entry is presented uniformly to facilitate comparison and general usability. Most entries include the dates of construction and abandonment, as well as references to specific evidence that corroborates the dating. Next is a presentation of the technical elements of each aqueduct (e.g., slope, volume of water flow, and construction techniques and materials). The entries also include—whenever possible—a map, photos and/or drawings, a description of the path of the aqueduct, and, finally, a list of written sources (ancient and modern). The maps are especially well produced, clearly depicting the known and hypothesized routes of aqueducts, their relationship to cities, and their placement with respect to the topography of the wider landscape. Usefully, photographs of many examples are displayed in full color, often showing sections of aqueducts in the process of excavation or close-up shots taken by the authors.
The appendix provides elegant visualizations of the data in the catalog in comparative perspective, making it easier to contextualize and access this information. Bar graphs present a range of topics, including the periods of use and abandonment, relative lengths, relative capacity in volume, and relative heights of different aqueducts. The reader can see readily, for instance, that the aqueduct at Cádiz was the longest at 75 km, while the aqueduct at Toletum was the tallest at an estimated 40 m in height.
Prior to the publication of this work, Acueductos Romanos en España served as the standard text on the topic. The first edition was produced in 1972 from a series of six articles by Carlos Fernández Casado in the journal Informes de la Construcción.2 Because of its unusual origin, the book did not have a clear table of contents or even page numbers until it was reissued in 2008.3 Though encyclopedic at the time of its initial publication, its scope is limited in comparison to the book under review. The focus is on the territory of modern peninsular Spain only; Portugal and the Balearic Islands are omitted. Maps, drawings, and photographs, while of historical interest, are now outdated. Finally, because Fernández Casado was an engineer rather than an archaeologist, his primary focus is on the engineering rather than the life histories or wider contexts of aqueducts.
In light of the limitations of previous work, this new book is a welcome addition to research on Roman aqueducts in Iberia: it presents updated, detailed evidence on aqueducts in urban contexts in a readable, well-illustrated format, accompanied by a thoughtful discussion. I do lament that, although the publication venue of the book does make it widely accessible, it is inevitably more likely to be read by Spanish speakers with interests in the history of technology and engineering than by classical archaeologists, classicists, or historians.4 I hope this review will serve, at least, to make more people aware that the volume exists as a useful resource. Indeed, more open access books and catalogs that present little-known or difficult to find evidence would help facilitate comparative research across the Roman Empire. Los acueductos de Hispania: construcción y abandono should be of value to anyone who studies water management and urban infrastructure, Roman technology and engineering, as well as the history and archaeology of Hispania and of the Roman provinces in general.

4. This is especially true because many of the other volumes in the series deal with topics related to Spain's industrial heritage and engineering in later epochs rather than in antiquity (see Fundación Juanelo Turriano) and because this title does not seem to appear on most university library databases in the US.

San Antonio actor, writer, director Jade Esteban Estrada named Overtime Theater's creative director
By Sam Sanchez

"I thank the board of directors for entrusting me with this important work," Estrada said in a statement.
The board of directors of the Overtime Theater announced Jan. 6 that local actor, writer and director Jade Esteban Estrada will take the helm as the organization's artistic director. Estrada succeeds William Razavi who resigned in November.
The Overtime Theater opened its doors in 2007. According to its website, it "produces works with an emphasis on playwrights in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Offering content that appeals to a wide variety of patrons, we specialize in world premieres of new works never before seen on stage as well as unconventional adaptations of old classics."
"I wholeheartedly look forward to ... partnering with the board, staff, and creative team to make this a productive and memorable season," Estrada said in a statement. "I thank the board of directors for entrusting me with this important work."
Estrada's multi-faceted career spans work in theater, motion pictures, television, stand-up comedy, choreography and burlesque. And, despite a travel and performance schedule which would tax most entertainers, Estrada still found time to teach acting classes, pen the Glitter Political column for the San Antonio Current and serve as co-editor of the San Antonio Sentinel, a local news and entertainment website.
A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York, Estrada has directed and choreographed stage productions in over 20 countries.
A significant part of Estrada's career has been writing and performing in one-man shows. In 2002, he debuted Icons: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 1 and by 2006 had followed that up with two sequels. Some of his other plays include Gay Christian, Gay Muslim, Gay Jew; Pico de Gallo; and A Lullaby for Ryan: The History of HIV/AIDS in America.
"You definitely shouldn't miss ... performer Jade Esteban Estrada, who has made a career of one-man shows in which he plays various historical gay figures," the Fort Worth Star-Telegram wrote in 2008.
Cine El Rey
Estrada has won accolades for his range and flexibility as an artist.
In recent years, Estrada mounted three burlesque plays at the Overtime Theater: Sinderella and the Glass Zipper; Madame X: A Burlesque Fantasy; and How Burlesque Saved Christmas. He's also created burlesque adaptations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Masque of the Red Death and The Nutcracker.
Estrada's range and flexibility as an artist are his greatest strengths and the source of accolades. After seeing his 2013 one-man performance of Mike Daisey's The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs at the Woodlawn Theatre, Deborah Martin, theater critic for the San Antonio Express-News, wrote, "Jade Esteban Estrada knows how to draw an audience in and hold them in the palm of his hand."
"Jade Esteban Estrada is what the Overtime Theater is all about," Nicole Erwin, Overtime's managing director, said in a press release. "I've always admired how he's navigated his career as a creative artist who's charted his own course through comedy, music and theater. He makes bold choices and he isn't afraid of trying new and different things. We feel Jade is a perfect fit for us because he embodies our mission. We are thrilled to welcome him as the new face of the Overtime Theater."

March 1988 Wayne Robert Felde was executed for the murder of Ptlm. Thomas Glen Tompkins
The Electric Chair
The electric chair has been surrounded by controversy since its conception. The use of electrocution as a more humane alternative to hanging as the primary form of execution was first suggested in 1881 by dentist Dr. Albert Southwick as the State of New York actively looked for viable alternatives to hanging.
The first controversies had nothing to do with electrocution as a method for execution but rather, the type of current that would be used to carry out the task. As the use of electricity was gaining popularity, two main types of current were being used: DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current). Ultimately, AC power was selected for use in the electric chair. The first electric chair was produced by Harold P. Brown and Arthur Kennelly.
In 1888, the New York Legislature passed a law establishing electrocution as the state's new official method of execution and the use of the AC electric chair was adopted in 1889. It was then adopted in Ohio in 1897, Massachusetts in 1900, New Jersey in 1906 and Virginia in 1908.
The electric chair was first used on August 6, 1890 to execute William Kemmler in New York's Auburn Prison. Kemmler was convicted of brutally murdering his wife. The first woman to be executed in the electric chair was Martha Place at Sing Sing in New York in 1899. In July 1891 four murderers were executed at Sing Sing Prison in a modified version of the system used at Auburn Prison.
James Slocum, for the murder of his wife
Harris (Levy) Smiler,for the murder of his mistress
Schichiok Jugigo, for the murder of one of his comrades
Joseph Wood, Murder of a fellow laborer
The electric chair remained the most common execution method until the mid-1980s when lethal injection became widely accepted as an easier and more humane method. The use of the electric chair declined in the later part of the twentieth century as legislators sought what they believed to be more humane methods of execution. The electric chair has been criticized because of several instances in which the subjects were killed only after being subjected to multiple electric shocks. In states where the electric chair has been used, lethal injection has replaced it as the primary means of execution. Some states still allow electrocution as an alternate method of execution. The last use of the chair was in Virginia on January 16, 2013, when Robert Gleason, Jr. chose execution by the electric chair over lethal injection.

"It Cuts Like a Knife": The Dismissal of Mary Wagner's case by the Canadian Supreme Court
By Dr. Charles Lugosi, SJD — Editor's note: The Canadian Supreme Court has refused to hear a case launched by Mary Wagner, a pro-life activist who was arrested for engaging in an act to save the lives of unborn children at a Toronto abortion facility in 2012. Mary's goal was for the Court to agree that abortion kills a human being—a fundamental question of national importance. But the Court rejected the opportunity to put an end to the deaths of the unborn.

'You Cannot Kill David Arquette' Documentary About Actor's Return to Wrestling in the Works
Oscar-nominee David Darg directs film that is part of debut slate of non-fiction production company XTR
Brian Welk | December 12, 2019 @ 7:00 AM	Last Updated: December 12, 2019 @ 9:45 AM
David Darg
David Arquette made an unlikely return to professional wrestling last year, and a documentary about his comeback is in the works called "You Cannot Kill David Arquette," the film's production company XTR announced Thursday.
Arquette learned some basic wrestling moves back for his 2000 film "Ready to Rumble," and at the time, he was even crowned a world champion from World Championship Wrestling as part of a marketing stunt. He became a perfect villain in the sport, and now nearly two decades later, he made the real wrestling circuit and competed in 19 different professional matches, some of which even left him bloodied as seen in this video.
David Darg, an Oscar-nominee for the documentary short film "Body Team 12," directed "You Cannot Kill David Arquette," and he's been filming throughout Arquette's tour for the last two years. XTR, a new nonfiction film and TV studio, will be part of the studio's debut film slate. The film will be Darg's feature debut.

The documentary will also feature interviews with those closest to Arquette, including Courteney Cox, sisters Patricia and Rosanna Arquette, Richmond Arquette and pro wrestling star Ric Flair, among others.
"I've always loved wrestling. I wanted to do this film as a love letter to wrestling," Arquette said in a statement. "I didn't know when I started this journey that it may cost me my life, but it was all worth it just to have the wrestlers in the locker room call me 'one of the boys!'"
"David Arquette is one of the most captivating and talented entertainers in the world, and his energy is matched only by the passion of the wrestling community. It's been a thrill to be ringside the past few years and viewers will not be disappointed," Darg said in a statement.

"You Cannot Kill David Arquette" is co-directed by Price James and executive produced by Christina McLarty Arquette, Bryn Mooser and Franklin and Gabby McLarty. Justin Lacob, Ross Levine and Kathryn Everett are producing.
"This is a documentary unlike anything you've seen before," executive producer and XTR CEO Mooser said in a statement. "It's David's turn to tell his side of the story and we're incredibly excited to share it with the world."
Arquette's latest credit is "Mob Town," which opens in theaters this weekend. He'll also be seen in "Spree," which will play in competition at the Sundance Film Festival.
For the record: A previous version of this story identified Arquette's brother as "Richard." His name is "Richmond."
11 WWE Superstars With Their Own TV Shows (Photos)
These days, WWE Superstars don't just make their TV money through in-ring performances on "Raw," "SmackDown Live" and WWE Network pay-per-views -- there's an entire universe of opportunity for popular pro wrestlers to earn big bucks on the small screen.
In our gallery are 11 WWE wrestlers with their own television shows. We've included a few select series from recent years to help paint a picture of the non-canvas landscape. A few: "Straight Up Steve Austin," "Fight Like a Girl" and "The Big Show Show" have yet to premiere.
For the purposes of this story, we only counted the three people who appeared in all 111 episodes of "Total Divas" -- Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Natalya -- as it being *their* show, but we included the names of everyone who showed up in seven or more episodes of that one.

If you love Honda vehicles like the ever-popular 2019 Honda Accord and the 2019 Honda Civic, you're not alone. Many drivers prefer Honda cars for a wide variety of reasons. Great looks, sought-after features, and versality are just some of the reasons why motorists fall in love with Honda cars when they visit our Wilkes-Barre, PA Honda dealership.
Of course, the Honda brand is always doing more to attract the attention of an increasing number of drivers. To capture even more drivers, the Honda brand recently teamed up with professional esports Team Liquid and the streaming platform Twitch. More specifically, the Honda brand is now the official automotive sponsor as well as the official vehicle of Team Liquid.
"Expanding our footprint in the gaming community is just the beginning of our new partnership with Team Liquid and Twitch as we engage with gamers to ramp up millennial and Gen Z interest in the Honda brand," said Phil Hruska, manager of media strategy at American Honda. "[The Honda] Civic is a critical gateway to Honda [cars], capturing more first-time buyers than any other auto brand and our new gaming platform will help us keep it that way..."
"My first car was a green Honda Accord EX – and [I] associate safety, reliability, and style with the Honda brand to this day, and am excited to stir those memories with an official Team Liquid partnership", said Steve Arhancet, co-CEO Team Liquid. "We'll be working closely with [the] Honda [brand] on content, activations, and more that cater directly to our Team Liquid fan audience, and feel honored to work with a prestigious brand who believes as fiercely as we do in the esports ecosystem."
As esports enthusiasts and Honda dealers, we're proud you can follow Team Liquid's journey throughout 2019 online. To learn more about the Honda brand's new partnership, contact MotorWorld Honda now.

374. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the funding that has been spent since 2012 on free legal aid; the number of persons this has served; the allocation by county in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44599/18]
Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Charles Flanagan): I wish to inform the Deputy that the provision of legal aid falls in two categories, that is, civil legal aid and criminal legal aid. Details in respect of each are outlined below.
Civil Legal Aid
The provision of civil legal aid in the State is delivered by the Legal Aid Board pursuant to the Civil Legal Aid Act 1995 and the Civil Legal Aid Regulations 1996 to 2017. The Board operates 30 full time law centres and a number of part time law centres in Ireland. The Board also provides mediation services to help separating couples to negotiate their own agreement.
The majority of the Board's income consists of a grant received from the Department of Justice and Equality. This funding is used to provide the Board's services in all its offices across the country, as well as the support services provided to law centres centrally from the Board's head office.
It is not possible to extract and isolate the total cost of civil legal aid in any one office/county in a given year as it would be necessary to devise a basis on which to attribute, to each county, all expenditure incurred by the Board centrally. Complexities may also arise at local level with regard to the delivery of civil legal aid, for example a client living in County Limerick may choose to apply to Ennis Law Centre. Also, in a case where two parties to a dispute seek the services of the Board at one law centre, one party will be required to engage with a different law centre, which may be in a neighbouring county.
Funding provided to the Legal Aid Board by my Department for the last seven years is provided in the following table.
Year Budget Allocation €m
2018 40.275
The following table sets out the number of cases handled in Legal Aid Board law centres, and the number of cases referred by the Legal Aid Board to private solicitors each year in the period 2012-2017.
Cases handled in law centres* 17,652 17,304 18,338 17,959 17,213 18,170
Referred to solicitors panels** 5,082 5,640 5,241 5,534 5,923 8,532
*Cases handled in law centres include international protection (asylum) cases in 2017 only. Comparable data in relation to such cases is not available in previous years.
**Referrals to solicitors panels include Abhaile cases in 2016 and 2017 only. The Abhaile scheme started on 22 nd July 2016.
Criminal Legal Aid
The Criminal Justice (Legal Aid) Act 1962, which is the primary legislation covering the operation of the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme, provides that free legal aid may be granted, in certain circumstances, for the defence of persons of insufficient means in criminal proceedings. Under the 1962 Act, the courts, through the judiciary, are responsible for the granting of legal aid. Under the Constitution, the State is obliged to provide an accused person with the means to obtain appropriate legal representation.
Expenditure on criminal legal aid since 2012 is set out in the Table below along with data provided by the Courts Service regarding the number of legal aid certificates granted in the District Court. It should be noted the number of certificates does not equate to the number of persons granted criminal legal aid as more than one certificate may be granted to any one person. The number of legal aid certificates granted by the District Court in October 2018 is not yet available.
Statistics are not compiled in such a manner as to readily identify expenditure on a county by county basis .
Year Number of Certificates Granted Expenditure
2012 49,639 €50.534m
2016 55,617 €52,998m
2018 52,636 (to end of September) 49,230m (to end of October)

Fit for the New Year
Get ready to work up a sweat with these local exercise options.
by Sophia Islas | January 8, 2018

As we welcome the new year, we also welcome the chance to start over, set goals and kick bad habits to the curb. Since resolutions to improve health and fitness are among the most common year after year, we've compiled some of the most interesting, fun workouts and cutting-edge facilities in our neighborhood to get you started on your journey to a happy and healthy 2018.
On the Mat

Yoga is one of the top fitness disciplines in Los Angeles — and for good reason. With regular practice, the exercise sculpts and tones muscles and improves overall flexibility. It also whips your mind into shape by encouraging deep concentration through meditation and controlled breathing exercises, resulting in reduced stress and clarity of mind.
For those easing into the practice, Toluca Lake's Yogi Tree Center for Growth offers a variety of yoga and meditation classes at all levels, with special programs and retreats for adults and children. For a twist on the traditional, Hello Critter offers its popular goat yoga class at Basecamp Coffee & Eatery in Burbank.* In this lighthearted class, 15-pound Nigerian Dwarf goats roam the premises, hop on peoples' backs and weave under those engaging in downward dogs. Instructor Jocelyn Yamasaki says that students are able to stretch and strengthen their bodies, refresh their minds and pet baby goats all in one place.

Pilates Power
It's inevitable that as we age, so do our bones and muscles. There are many exercises we can do to ensure that we age gracefully, however, and Pilates is one of them. Practiced on either a mat or a reformer/apparatus, Pilates is a method of body conditioning that is proven to tone muscles and assist in skeletal alignment over time. Those who want to learn the Classical Pilates Method can take private or semi-private classes at Toluca Lake's PilatesLogic, where principal instructor Bruce Burchmore teaches everyone from celebrities to seasoned practitioners and beginners, breaking down the method in a straightforward manner and providing encouragement every step of the way. Another option is North Hollywood's Club Pilates, a chain recognized for serving up over 2.2 million workouts nationwide since opening its doors in 2016. Its modernized group practice uses high-tech reformers and is taught by a variety of skilled instructors. Instructor Danielle Mortensen says that the all-inclusive studio focuses on teaching a mind-body connection to students.
Cycle and Spin

Charismatic instructors, upbeat tunes and solidarity among fellow spinners is what makes indoor cycling classes a favorite group exercise among those who dread cardio days. Each class burns hundreds of calories, and is the perfect exercise for all fitness levels — it's low-impact, low-stress and, most importantly, anything but boring. For a traditional ride, Toluca Lake's Sycle encourages friendly competition between riders with advanced bikes that track distance and calories burned. Also in the neighborhood is The Sweat Shoppe, a studio that literally cranks up the heat on the average cycling workout. In each session, cyclists pedal their way through a dynamic 84-degree session in the studio's "Hot Room." While all who enter the room are guaranteed to leave drenched in sweat, riders can take solace in the fact that there are numerous benefits to heat training. According to owner Mimi Benz, it maximizes athletic performance by creating faster, stronger and more powerful bodies over time, and promotes mental acuity, detoxification and improved sleep patterns.

Barre None
Inspired by movements found in ballet, yoga and Pilates, barre combines all three styles and then some for high-intensity, yet low-impact, exercise fit for those who enjoy a lot of variety in a single total-body workout. The barre is incorporated into workouts to increase balance and is used by students to aid in isometric strength training that targets hard-to-tone muscles. North Hollywood's Pure Barre offers 35 specialized classes per week that focus on cardio, strength and flexibility training. Owner Brittany Egbert says that the results of just one 50-minute barre session would take the average person multiple gym visits to achieve on their own. For another intense body-burning barre workout, Studio City's Cardio Barre is known for its method of combining barre work with light weights to tone, define and sculpt muscle.
One-Stop Shops
No time to shuffle from class to class? There are plenty of nearby gyms that provide all the equipment and classes needed to get a comprehensive workout all under one roof. The private Toluca Lake Tennis and Fitness Club goes above and beyond its reputation as an elite tennis club with a fitness program that boasts over 50 group exercises classes weekly — such as cardio kickboxing, aqua boot camp and dance — all taught by some of the best trainers in Los Angeles. Alternatively, members can structure their own workouts with access to a heated outdoor pool, fully equipped weight room and cardio studio that features an indoor cycling component. Another gym option is the Burbank Fitness Club, a modern facility with state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of unique class offerings, like Muay Thai, Zumba and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts. The gym is favored by many for its highly motivating zero-judgment community culture.
Burbank Fitness Club.
For those who want quick results, the private strength-training studio InForm Fitness is home to the highly effective Power-of-10 method, a slow-motion, high-intensity program with an emphasis on building and maintaining muscle. The Burbank location is the only one on the West Coast, making it an in-demand spot to get an effective workout with limited commitment — one or two 20-minute sessions per week is all it takes to see optimal results in no time.

If studios aren't your thing, simply stepping out for a run or brisk walk each day — perhaps with your dog — is enough to get your heart rate up and your body moving. Riverside Drive and the adjacent tree-lined streets provide perfect routes with enough inclines to make for a dynamic workout while enjoying the beauty of the neighborhood.
Whether you want to build strength, endurance or flexibility, combat stress or just have fun, you're likely to find an option that suits you in this active community. There's no better time to get moving!
*Goat yoga is no longer offered at Basecamp Coffee & Eatery, please visit Hello Critter's Facebook page for information on future class locations.

Q: Modifying global variables in doctests The doctest documentation has a section about execution context.
My reading is that the globals in the module are shallow copied for the tests in each docstring, but are not reset between tests within a docstring.
Based on that description, I would have thought the following doctests would pass:
X = 1

def f():
    """Function F.

    >>> X
    1
    >>> f()
    2
    >>> X
    2
    """
    global X
    X = 2
    return X

def g():
    """Function G.

    >>> g()
    1
    >>> X
    1
    """
    return X

But instead the following tests pass!
X = 1

def f():
    """Function F.

    >>> X
    1
    >>> f()
    2
    >>> X
    1
    """
    global X
    X = 2
    return X

def g():
    """Function G.

    >>> g()
    2
    >>> X
    1
    """
    return X

It seems like the globals are shared across tests across docstrings?
But only within function calls?
Why is this the resulting behavior?
Does this have something to do with functions having a dictionary of globals separate from the execution context?

A: Not exactly.  While it is true that the globals are shallow copied, what you are actually seeing is the scoping of globals (using the keyword global) and how it actually operates at the module level in Python.  You can observe this by putting in a pdb.set_trace() inside function f right after the assignment (X = 2).
$ python -m doctest foo.py
> /tmp/foo.py(18)f()
-> return X
(Pdb) bt
  /usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py(162)_run_module_as_main()
-> "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  /usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py(72)_run_code()
-> exec code in run_globals
  /usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py(2817)<module>()
-> sys.exit(_test())
  /usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py(2808)_test()
-> failures, _ = testmod(m)
  /usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py(1911)testmod()
-> runner.run(test)
  /usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py(1454)run()
-> return self.__run(test, compileflags, out)
  /usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py(1315)__run()
-> compileflags, 1) in test.globs
  <doctest foo.f[1]>(1)<module>()
-> f()
> /tmp/foo.py(18)f()
-> return X
(Pdb) pp X
2

Yes, the value is indeed 2 within the scope of f, but let's take a look of its globals.  Let's look at how they compare in the current frame and up a frame.
(Pdb) id(globals())
140653053803048  # remember this number, and we go up a frame
(Pdb) u
> <doctest foo.f[1]>(1)<module>()
-> f()
(Pdb) id(globals())
140653053878632  # the "shallow" clone
(Pdb) X
1
(Pdb) c

Ah ha, you can see that they are NOT actually the same thing, and that X is indeed 1 and has not been changed, because the globals there are within the <doctest doc.f> module created by doctest for this reason.  Let's continue.
(Pdb) id(globals())
140653053803048  # hey look, is the SAME number we remember
(Pdb) u
> <doctest foo.g[0]>(1)<module>()
-> g()
(Pdb) id(globals())
140653053872960  # note how this is a different shallow clone

So what you actually saw is that the globals within the doctest is not the same one as the one on your source (hence g will return 2 because X was  really was changed in the module here by f, but not in the doctest module shallow copy scope), even though it originally was copied from the module but the changes are not reflected back to the underlying module since this is how the global keyword operates - at the module level, not across modules.
