Hemp grower crowdfunds court case, tokenizes shares in settlement
Hemp grower Apothio has raised $ 330,000 for a lawsuit against Kern County, Calif., Through what is known as an initial litigation offer on the Republic investment platform.
Investments are accepted in USD, but proof of investment is issued in the form of digital tokens on the Avalanche blockchain network (AVAX). This is the first Initial Litigation Offer (ILO) on the Republic platform launched in 2016 and designed for equity crowdfunding.
The hemp grower is seeking compensation from the county for damage suffered when lawmakers and the California Department of Fisheries and Wildlife bulldozed 450 acres of crops worth up to $ 1 billion.
Apothio's attorney, Kyle Roche, told Cointelegraph that crowdfunding legal affairs through cryptocurrency investments has many benefits:
"The legal systems work very well, they are just expensive. If you can remove the cost-based barriers by allowing capital to enter the system where it is needed, I believe that ILOs can be a positive force for access to justice.
Investing in Litigation Funding is where third party investors unrelated to a case can provide funds to a litigant in a court case and earn a return on investment based on the outcome of the case. . Under an ILO, fund contributors receive digital tokens which entitle them to a portion of the damages recovered as a result of the decision in the case.
The global litigation finance investment market was valued at $ 11.4 billion in 2019 and is expected to more than double to $ 24 billion by 2028, according to a Dec. 7, 2021 report from Research Nester.
Roche noted that although the market is growing, it is mainly reserved for private institutions. He hopes that as more cases use OITs, the high barrier to entry into legal investments will be lowered by crypto:
"Using cryptography is not a challenge, but we need to make sure the regulatory tools work for what the ILO does. "
The hemp grower's case has more than surpassed the minimum target of $ 250,000 for the litigation to proceed. ILO tokens will be frozen in investors' wallets for 90 days, after which they will be transferable.
After a verdict in a case is reached, token holders will receive any feedback they may have and the tokens will be frozen again. As a deal progresses after the tokens are unlocked, a speculative market for tokens might open up, as investors might want to get rid of or buy a larger stake in the outcome of a deal.
Related: Number Of Countries Banning Crypto Has Doubled In Three Years
In 2021, Roche's law firm began making plans to launch its own tokenized OIT marketplace called Ryval, which is currently under development on Avalanche. Roche hopes that the concept of the ILO will start to gain ground both in the United States and around the world thanks to Ryval.
The ILO concept also introduces another way for cryptocurrency to adopt real-world applications through tokenization. Investing in litigation finance would join modern art via non-figible tokens (NFTs), social media interactions, real estate investing, and even the oil and gas industry as sectors where tokenization is becoming a focus. reality.


After scouring the globe for the ultimate high-performance base layer material, who would have guessed it would come down to a 100% natural bamboo fiber Lee Parks Design's exclusive Belanima Bamboo yarn is tough enough for extreme use yet feels halfway between cotton and silk on your skin. This is absolutely the most comfortable fabric you will ever try on, GUARANTEED! We used a special Raglan cut to make it comfortable while riding a bike as well as just lounging around. Of course, we proudly make all our shirts in the USA. See for yourself why Belanima Bamboo is the only material you'll want against your skin while riding.
SOFTNESS Bamboo fiber is softer than the softest cotton and effortlessly drapes on the skin. Its silky texture helps prevent leather and textile apparel from sticking to your body in hot conditions.
WICKING Unlike synthetic textiles such as microfiber polyester that require a chemical treatment to achieve their perspiration wicking qualities, bamboo is inherently wicking and maintains that ability forever. Chemical treatments wash out over time, eventually leaving you with a rough, chaffing, non-wicking garment.
THERMAL REGULATING By being naturally breathable and keeping you dry, bamboo keeps you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter like a sheepskin seat cover. It is the perfect base layer in any weather.
ECO-FRIENDLY Bamboo is nature's most sustainable resource. One of the world's most prolific plants, bamboo grows up to four feet a day to a height of 60 feet or more every four years.
Additionally, the fabric's special agent "bamboo kunh" prevents bacteria from cultivating on it, making it naturally anti-microbial.

Firefighters who attended a serious road traffic collision in which a young girl was trapped have been recognised at this year's Signal Local Hero Awards.
We were really touched and surprised when we heard the three watches had been nominated for this award. Mick and Sam hadn't even thought about what they might say if we won! Consequently, what they said when they accepted the award on behalf of the Service was straight from the heart: they were all just doing their job to the best of their ability and trying to make sure they did everything they could to help Olivia.
Crews from White Watch and Orange Watch at Newcastle and White Watch at Hanley attended the incident in Newcastle on September 16, 2017. The young girl, Olivia Harding had been travelling in the car with her father. Unfortunately she was trapped by her legs. To be able to free her and save her life, one of Olivia's legs had to be amputated at the scene.
One year on, Olivia is making great progress. She now has a prosthetic leg and a blade so she can take part in sport now that she has gone to high school. She has also spent a great deal of time and effort fundraising for charity. She has not forgotten the people who saved her and has kept in touch with the firefighters at Newcastle and Hanley, giving updates on how she has adapted to her new way of living. Grateful to the firefighters who looked after her during the incident, it was Olivia who nominated them for the award.
Firefighters Mark Shea and Sam King went along to the event at Crewe Hall last night (Wednesday, October 10) to represent the watches and accepted the award on their behalf. They were the firefighters who were sited close to Olivia when she was trapped.
Newcastle Station Manager, Ruth Watchorn-Rice said: "We were really touched and surprised when we heard the three watches had been nominated for this award. Mick and Sam hadn't even thought about what they might say if we won! Consequently, what they said when they accepted the award on behalf of the Service was straight from the heart: they were all just doing their job to the best of their ability and trying to make sure they did everything they could to help Olivia.

Map Project has become Addressya
New partnership for testing a digital addressing system for all!
map project is partnering with Urban ICT Arena to test their addressing platform developed to provide physical addresses for everyone. The OPEN 1800 testbed provides a unique opportunity to test in a realistic target environment. The testbed is supplied by KTH, VNL and WX3.
Today, 4 billion people suffer from the lack of adequate addresses. Without an address a citizen cannot fully exercise their human and civil rights. map project was initiated in 2016 to respond to this challenge by making available complete, systematic and accurate postal addresses to everyone. Having an address is a civil right and so the individual citizens are at the centre of the development!
It is not just individuals who are affected by inadequate addressing system. Companies who are working in service and delivery are also dependent on adequate addressing systems for reaching new markets, increasing efficiency and improving customer satisfaction. An accurate addressing system is also key to an efficient and inclusive government that is able to reach every citizen with public goods and services.
In the last 15 years, mobiles have penetrated every corner of the globe. This has coincided with socio-economic development and increased living standard for many lower and middle class populations. Despite the increased income, the lack of adequate addresses means they still lack access to new products or services.
The global penetration of mobile phones provides new opportunities for using technology to solve difficult problems, increasing access to goods and services and enabling good governance. In most emerging countries, mobiles are now frequently used not only in cities, but also in rural and hard to reach areas. Feature phones are still in the majority, but smartphones are catching up. 3G and 4G is being rolled out in major cities, but 2G is still the most common platform.
map project is developing for the future, but at the same time catering for the present. It is essential that the map project address application performs well in the 2G networks. "The OPEN 1800 testbed provides a unique opportunity to test the performance of the platform, application and all features of the product before we make the first beta test with customers and end-users. It provides us with insight and knowledge into the mobile operator environment and technical reality, which means we can develop much more efficiently before field test. We learn by interviewing and testing with people from different backgrounds and countries. As such, Kista is the best place where we are able to meet people from around the world." says Karoline Beronius, map project team leader.
In the spring of 2017, map project made a first test in Urban ICT arena, before field-testing the applications in Senegal, Uganda and Rwanda. With positive results and valuable feedback the team is now developing the platform and application. Testing of the new platform and application will start in September in Urban ICT arena.
"map project is the first project to use our 2G net OPEN 1800 testbed. Urban ICT Arena is all about supporting #NotBoring projects test and take off and it really doesn't get less boring than this! –This project has the potential to impact the lives of billions and enhancing the quality of life by providing access to products and services. It feels great that our testbed is put to such valuable use!" Says Petra Dalunde, COO Urban ICT Arena.
The test bed is operated by Wireless@KTH, the system provider VNL Europe and voice and telecom service provider WX3. OPEN1800 has been enabled by the unique license exempt regulation by PTS in the upper part of the 1800 MHz mobile frequency band.
"We took the initiative end of last year for the OPEN1800 test bed to provide the 2G facility heavily requested to support innovation activities in the Urban ICT Arena, says the Wireless@KTH Director, Professor Claes Beckman and continues:
"We are pleased to welcome map project as a partner for their validation of services aimed for low economy rural markets of the world. Still many areas lack coverage and waits for GSM 2G service to be rolled out. The main reason for delay and a driver for fast roll out is cost for low end terminals."
Omoco, powered by VNL Europe AB, has long experience in supplying technology solutions in areas with little or no connectivity in for example Indonesia, and areas in Africa and Latin America. map project hopes to draw on this experience.
map project is developing a system to make available complete, systematic and accurate physical addresses to everyone. map project was initiated in 2016 and is supported by the KTH Innovation pre-incubator.
Urban ICT Arena
Urban ICT Arena is an open co-creation arena and testbed in Kista. Here the opportunities of digitalisation are developed, tested and showcased in an urban environment.
OPEN 1800 testbed
The OPEN 1800 is an infrastructure for development and education as well as SMEs, providing 2G technology for easy and low-threshold costs. The service is operated by Wireless@KTH, VNL/Omoco and

When the aliens visited Earth they accidentally brought germs that killed off most of humanity. But alien zoologists are trying to make right by conserving the human species through a captive breeding program. The story focuses on one couple: John and Sarah, whom the aliens locked up together to reproduce. John loves Sarah, but she is not interested in him. And Sarah is not sure that humanity ought to be saved.
The Captives is a narrative song cycle. It premiered at Roulette in Brooklyn, NY, April 2, 2015.
"Co-curator and mod-synth mastermind Jason Cady's The Captives, meanwhile, was even more committed to being non-serious. The piece is a conversation in alternating songs (static new-wave disco tunes anchored by tinny drum programming) between a human couple forced together by a tyrannical alien species to reproduce. The singers were part of the onstage band, contributing unruly, Remain in Light-style synth blasts when not singing, and an alien appears in a plasticine Halloween-pop-up-store alien mask and gloves. Funny and engaging, it was carried by Cady's precise, funky arrangements and spirited vocal performances from Vince B. Vincent and Katie Eastburn."

Q: Codeigniter HTTP Error 500 from model? I am new to Codeigniter.  I'm trying to create a simple customer database and when it keeps trying to load my update_customer model It keeps giving me a Http error 500.  I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the model cause when I comment out the model call the page redirects it to itself with no error.  Any ideas where my mistake was?
and I can't seem to find the error in the apache error logs...
CONTROLLER:
function edit_customer($id){
    $data['success']=0;
    if($_POST){
        $data_customer=$_POST;
        $data_customer['active'] = 1;
        $this->customer->update_customer($id,$data);
        $data['success']=1;
    }
    $data['customer']=$this->customer->get_customer($id);

    $this->load->view('header');
    $this->load->view('edit_customer',$data);
    $this->load->view('footer');

}

function update_customer($id, $data){

Antisemitic incidents in UK at all-time high
Source: The Guardian
By Nadia Khomami
Charity logs 1,382 hate incidents and 34% rise in violent assaults against Jewish people in 2017
Antisemitic hate incidents have reached a record level in the UK, with the Jewish community targeted at a rate of nearly four times a day last year, figures indicate.
There were 1,382 antisemitic incidents recorded nationwide in 2017 by the Community Security Trust.
This was the highest tally that the trust, a charity that monitors antisemitism, has registered for a calendar year since it began gathering such data in 1984. The figure rose by 3%, compared with a total, in 2016, of 1,346 incidents – a tally that itself was a record annual total.
There was no obvious single cause behind the trend, the trust said. "Often increases in antisemitic incidents have been attributable to reactions to specific trigger events that cause identifiable, short-term, spikes in incident levels. However, this was not the case in 2017. Instead, it appears that the factors that led to a general, sustained, high level of antisemitic incidents in 2016 continued throughout much of 2017."

Pelorus in the Press
Maria Shollenbarger reveals the lowdown on the yachting tribes of 2021 for The Financial Times' How To Spend It #EscapeIssue.
We are proud to take centre-stage as both extreme expedition leaders and diving enthusiasts in Maria Shollenbarger's epic feature on the yachting tribes of 2021.
When approached for comment on navigating in the subarctic territory, co-founder Geordie Mackay-Lewis says: "We've taken some basic Ibiza-style white yachts fairly high up, and they work fine. You see more of them in the Norwegian fjords than you used to." However, for those that like to venture further north into the Arctic reaches to Greenland and north of Svalbard, come spring and autumn "you need an ice-class vessel." Many of which are former industrial ice-breaking or naval patrol ships with high-spec refits for optimum comfort.
Painting a picture of a more tropical oasis, Geordie suggests Indonesia's waters are home to some of the last remaining pristine corals for diving, pinpointing French Polynesia as an attractive option for US clients: "It's one of the first places to open [to the US] post-COVID, so it's basically like bees to honey. We're seeing a large number of yachts either making for those waters or already there."

Kudos to the internet and all the inspirational things contained within…Robby was inspired to build a custom Street Rail rig because of a picture he came across on the world wide web of wonder. Take a gander. We are off to bake a cake, build a tiny house, and learn how to scuba dive…. Have a great Friday everyone and may Robby be your inspiration today!!!!
I found a random picture on the internet and thought "that would be a cool build". I build tube chassis cars in tenth scale so I decided I was up to the challenge. The car is based off of a 2wd Traxxas Slash, but most everything was trashed except for front and rear sub-assemblies and the battery tray. As you know a Slash doesn't have a separate battery tray so, off to the grinder to remove all material except for battery cradle. The tube frame was brazed with 3/16 brake line tubing and 1/8 solid rod. I also utilized fabrication tabs where needed. For a scale build you have to have scale seats right, Axial Wraith seats were used to fill the bill. Gotta have a wing to hold down the car at speed so an Integy drift car wing took care of downforce. It has a cool carbon fiber pattern and is adjustable. To get the stance just right, Vaterra V-100 shocks were used and are mounted on adjustable brackets. Wide stadium truck wheels and tires were used on all four corners to keep it planted wide offset gets the job done. And remember that battery tray? It's still there and runs down the car center-line and keeps the CG down low.


After juggling between chat shows in West and shooting for her upcoming Bollywood movie, The Sky Is Pink, seems like Priyanka is finally in a mood to unwind this weekend.
Irrespective of a hectic work schedule, Bollywood-turned-Hollywood diva Priyanka Chopra never leaves a chance to sparkle, even on weekends and her latest picture on her Instagram handle is proof. After globe-trotting this past week, appearing on various chat shows and involved with the ongoing shoot of her upcoming Bollywood flick The Sky Is Pink, seems like Priyanka has finally hung up her boots to enjoy the weekend and we can't help but marvel at the way she does it in the latest picture.
Taking to her Instagram handle, Priyanka shared her picture from Miami Beach in Florida, US and looks breathtaking in an off-shoulder yellow-coloured top, a pair of sunglasses and hair falling carefree across her shoulder. Lying down with her face to the sun and eyes closed, PeeCee truly looks like a diva even on a lazy Sunday morning. She captioned the picture as, "Yes pls.. shine down on me" (sic).
Priyanka recently appeared on a chat show, Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where she revealed that she and Hollywood popstar-husband Nick Jonas like to share racy images with each other to keep the spark alive when their work keeps them away from each other.
Recently, Priyanka welcomed tennis superstar Serena Williams on board as an investor and advisor of her networking and dating app Bumble. She called Serena a natural fit for the brand as the tennis ace is a trailblazer herself in the sport. Hence, this gels well with the brand that believes in creating opportunities for women.
On the professional front, Priyanka was supposed to star in Bharat with Salman Khan but opted out of the film due to undisclosed reasons. She has been replaced by Katrina Kaif. She will next be seen in The Sky is Pink with Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim.

Reforms mean children and vulnerable adults may not be properly heard, Kingston Law School expert warns
Posted Wednesday 23 April 2014
The new 26-week time limit for cases where children are taken into care, designed to further reduce delays, could in fact lead to injustices taking place, a Kingston Law School academic has warned.
The changes are part of a package of family justice system reforms which also see new combined Family Courts come into being in England and Wales.
The new time limit may not be in the interests of justice in all cases, Professor Penny Cooper explained. "While there is much to be welcomed in these reforms, the renewed emphasis on completing care cases in 26 weeks means there is a real danger that children and vulnerable adults such as those who have been abused, or those with learning difficulties or disabilities, will not be properly heard," she said. "This time limit could be problematic if the desire to get on with completing a case overrides the need to get special measures in place for the vulnerable."
Professor Cooper also suggested the legislation represented a missed opportunity to bring in a proper scheme to protect the vulnerable in the family courts. "When the government brought in these new policies it could have introduced reforms to ensure that such measures as intermediaries for children or TV links for intimidated witnesses are available in family courts in the same way they are in the criminal courts," she said.
The need for the government to make this type of resources available was highlighted in the Family Justice Review in 2011 but it hadn't taken up the challenge, she said. "The court has a duty to make adjustments for the vulnerable but there is now the added pressure of time on family judges as well as the existing lack of resources."
There are about 270,000 new family cases each year dealing with issues such as local authority intervention, divorce, domestic violence and adoption.
The Family Justice review also found that vulnerable children were having their "futures undermined" by excessive delays, with care and supervision cases taking an average of 56 weeks.

Selecting an orthodontist can be difficult. It's a big decision for you and your family. The most important factor is choosing a doctor who provides the highest level of care. The best way to insure this is to select a board-certified orthodontist. Obtaining this certification shows that the orthodontist has exhibited the highest levels of skill and knowledge beyond his or her advanced education requirements. Dr. John Lawson has obtained this board certification through the American Board of Orthodontists (ABO). This achievement which includes a written, oral, and clinical examination shows his absolute dedication to patient care. Only one-third of orthodontists in the United States have gone on to complete board certification. When you choose our office, rest assured you will be receiving the highest level of expertise possible.
Why complete this voluntary certification?
To become an orthodontist, most practitioners have to have completed 4 years of college, 4 years of dental school and then a 2 or 3 years certificate in orthodontics. Many people wonder why a dental specialist would choose to pursue orthodontic board certification after all those years of schooling. Orthodontists who complete this high achievement simply wish to demonstrate their commitment to excellence to their colleagues and their community. We believe it shows the ability to provide the highest level of care possible.
What does it take to become certified?
Obtaining the board certification through the ABO is a rigorous and time consuming process. Currently, the procedure involves a written examination which covers a comprehensive understanding of orthodontics. Once this is successfully completed, the orthodontist must present actual patient case reports. These are evaluated by a panel of experts, and discussed during the oral examination. This oral examination is the final phase of board-certification. If the applicant successfully passes these stages, he or she is then officially board-certified for a limited time period. Every 10 years, the orthodontist must maintain their certification through continued testing.

How is vitality, or life force, freed by the practice of yoga? On a physiological level, yoga liberates energy because it moves fluids. The deep, focused movements of yoga allow muscles to expand and the nervous system to quiet. Breathing, heart rate, and physiological processes slow down so that energy is no longer spent holding tension in the body. Over time, a wise yoga practice creates more harmonious alignment of bones and muscles, so that less energy is spent holding bones which are misaligned against gravity.
In Katy Bowman's book "Move Your DNA," she proposes that "many of the processes in the body, including genetic expression, can be regulated mechanically," i.e. by how your body carries the load of weight and gravity. She goes on to say that "your body is literally shaped by your movement experience." So if you sit at a desk with your head forward all day, your tissue will conform to this shape. The excessive shortening and tightening of fascia and other tissue reduces vitality, because it reduces the ability of fluids to move through your body. You literally dry out. Whenever you are stretching, or moving in unfamiliar ways, you are hydrating, and revitalizing, your body.
Yoga offers a banquet of movements that are outside the box of our everyday, mostly linear and repetitive, movements. Moving this way is like taking a warm bath in re-energizing life force.
Available for purchase through July 5!
Stay committed to your yoga practice this summer with our discounted Summer Special!

Friends of Women's World Banking, India, often shortened to Friends of WWB, India, or just FWWB, is an Indian APEX organization that assists microfinance and microenterprise organizations. Founded in 1982 by Ela Bhatt, it is located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Foundation
Friends of Women's World Banking was established as a non-profit organization to promote direct participation of poor women in the economy through access to financial services. It was created to extend and expand informal credit supports and networks within India to link them to a global movement.

Outreach
FWWB-I combined its loans with technical assistance to ensure sustainable growth of microfinance institutions. From 1989 to 2010 it reached out to more than 300 institutions with technical assistance and nearly 200 with loan support. Till March 2010, FWWB-I had made a cumulative disbursement of around Rs. 11 billion benefitting 2.6 million women.

Transformation
FWWB-I, being a member of various networks, has played a significant role in the building of the sector. To expand its outreach to more institutions, FWWB-I promoted an NBFC Ananya Finance for Inclusive Growth (AFIG). FWWB-I hived off its micro finance activity to AFIG in April 2010. Ananya's mandate is to continue to build the network of institutions that will successfully be able to balance their social mission with the commercial one. Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Das who had steered the growth of FWWB-I as an apex for the last twenty one years is now the Managing Director of Ananya Finance for Inclusive Growth.

Current activity
FWWB-I (Friends of Women's World Banking), under the leadership of Ms. Vijaylakshmi Das, will continue to work in the areas of women empowerment, strengthening community based and micro finance institutions, livelihood promotion and need based financial products and services that impact the lives of the poor. Both FWWB-I and AFIG have a common vision and goal of reaching out to larger number of low income households in the under served regions of the country.

Niche

FWWB specializes in dealing with small local lending organizations. It selects its partner organization through a rigorous screening process. But unlike commercial banks that require a credit history to assess their risk of loss, FWWB evaluates an organization on a set of parameters which includes the company's management and business systems (accounts, MIS, HR, etc.). If an organization is found that has potential to develop into a financially sustainable community development organization, it is selected as a partner.

Focus areas
1.Institution Building, Capacity Building, Monitoring and Assessment Services for Micro Finance Institutions, Community Based Organizations (Federations, Cooperatives, Producer Companies), Enterprises.
2.Supporting Partner Organizations that use innovative ways of poverty alleviation, focusing on enhancing and introducing sustainable livelihood activities for women.
3.Support for Reducing the Vulnerability of Low Income Households. This includes providing financial and technical assistance to POs for on-lending to poor women clients, to enable them to get better access to: Solar Energy Light systems, Water and Sanitation Facilities, Education Loans, Health and Hygiene Awareness, Financial Literacy

Mahatma Phule may have been one of the least educated modern Dalit leaders, but he was perhaps the most original and creative thinker. He was unusual in that rather than keeping his wife in the background, he allowed his wife to become a social revolutionary with her own ideas. First and foremost, Mahatma Phule and his wife Savitribai created an educational revolution. Savitribai created not just the first school for Dalit girls but the first school for girls in Indian history. Theirs was an education with the simplest of curriculum, with few books, but it instilled a longing for justice, a determination to fight for personal dignity that still transcends current educational efforts. For it is not just good books, it is the moral ardour and purity of purpose of the teacher that is the essence of genuine education. Such inner integrity cannot be achieved without an inner revolution. Otherwise the pedagogic legacy of such Mahatmas dies with their bodies.
In the middle of the Brahmin renaissance in Pune, Phule was the sole voice of the voiceless Dalits. For the first time in Indian history, Dalit and Brahmin debated in public and in print. For the first time, a Dalit published books attacking Brahminical rule. The media revolution launched by Mahatma Phule and his supporters cannot be underestimated as it undermined the bogus moral and religious legitimacy of casteism. Phule used his media revolution to attempt a cultural revolution by creating the utopia of Baliraja as opposed to Brahminical Ramrajya. Due to his very lack of western education, Phule was able to outsmart and outthink his enemies in creative ways. He is the real mahatma who belongs on the currency of India, as he is the first modern Indian to propagate sama-samaja.

The Stafford London will be launching its first independent restaurant project this summer under the direction of The Stafford's Culinary Director Ben Tish. Norma will be inspired by the food and culture of Sicily with particular emphasis on the Moorish influences on the Island's cuisine.
Norma will be contemporary and provocative, whilst embodying the celebrated old-school Italian hospitality and charm. It will take inspiration from the grand café culture found in Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and celebrate the richly influenced cuisine of the Island. This includes Moorish ingredients and produce, a style of cuisine in which Ben is well versed following his time with the Salt Yard group.
The new restaurant will be housed in a converted characterful townhouse on Charlotte Street, split across three floors: the bottom two will be dedicated to the restaurant and a first-floor cocktail bar with the top floor a private dining space. There will also be a crudo bar at the entrance of Norma, serving up the freshest seasonal raw seafood, dressed in delicious olive oils and other flavourings.
The main menu will feature modern Sicilian-inspired dishes using seasonal Italian and British produce, from a selection of anti-pasti and pastas, to larger grilled meat and fish dishes. Upstairs in the private dining room, guests can order large family-style sharing dishes including whole fish and platters of seasonal vegetables. The restaurant will offer all day dining, serving food until 10.30pm.
Speaking about the new restaurant, Executive Chef, Ben Tish, added: "I'm really excited about launching Norma with The Stafford team, as it's a concept I'm passionate about and have been working on for a while. I'm intrigued by Sicily and the Moorish influences found in its culture and architecture, and Norma has been inspired by much time eating and drinking though this part of the world.
Norma is due to open this summer, further details to follow.

Review - Jonathan Edwards
by George M. Marsden
Yale University Press, 2003
Review by Joseph W. Ulatowski
Dec 19th 2003 (Volume 7, Issue 51)
Ask anyone who the great figures in the history of American philosophy are and that person probably will offer the following list of people: Franklin, Jefferson, James, Peirce, Dewey, Santayana, Quine, and Putnam. At least one prominent philosopher-theologian is missing from this list -- Jonathan Edwards. Few people recognize the influence of Edwards. Why is this? He affected many people during his lifetime, and his work influenced several generations of Americans prior to the end of the Civil War. The scope of his work, which ranged from the natural sciences to philosophy and religion, is one reason he was so influential. Following the war, Edwards's reputation diminished. Nevertheless, we should include the author of the famous pamphlet "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God'' among the greatest intellectual minds in the history of America. George M. Marsden's biography, Jonathan Edwards: A Life, tells an interesting story of Edwards's intellectual, social, and family life that attempts to rejuvenate interest in Edwards's work.
The publication of Marsden's biography coincides with the tercentenary celebration of Edwards's birth in 1703. Several events have commemorated Edwards's philosophical and theological contributions, including a conference in his hometown of Northampton, Massachusetts and another in Washington, D.C. Marsden's biography reveals a great intellectual figure in pre-revolutionary America whose influence is far-reaching. Arguably, Edwards' greatest impact was in theology, but his upbringing and his work at Yale tell a different story.
The biography details Edwards' intellectual development from his early childhood until his untimely death in 1758. From an early age, Edwards was a prolific writer. Edwards was among the first to attend and graduate from Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut. Many of his friends and colleagues were classmates or alumni from Yale. Marsden describes Edwards's role in the development of Yale's philosophical and theological studies. He was among the first Yale students, and first Americans for that matter, to read John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Although he never wrote a critical essay on John Locke's philosophy, we can see that Edwards' views were similar to Locke's. For example, Edwards and Locke agreed that the question whether the will is free is misunderstood. Both Edwards and Locke argued that the question should not be about whether the will is free but whether man is free. The will is not itself an agent. Edwards's familiarity with Locke's work propelled him into the spotlight of great thinkers in America. Despite most of Edwards' work being philosophically oriented, much of his work reflects divine inspiration.
Edwards' dependence on divinity was the result of a mentor-protégé relationship he had with Solomon Stoddard. During the mid-eighteenth century, Solomon Stoddard was the most respected clergyman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Stoddard had one son who was supposed to continue Solomon's religious work; however, Stoddard's son, John, main concern was protecting colonists from Indian insurgents. He became a soldier and earned the rank of colonel. Living in colonial America was a dangerous affair. Frequent Indian attacks ended with people losing their lives in horrific ways. John Stoddard protected the colonists and dedicated his time assisting in improving relations with Native Americans. Since John Stoddard was primarily a soldier-missionary, this allowed Jonathan Edwards to inherit Solomon Stoddard's religious legacy. With this avenue open to Edwards, he became the leader of a revolution known as the Awakening.
The Awakening was the result of an earth-moving experience -- literally. For a long time, religious clergymen had warned parishioners of the impending judgment day. Most of the parishioners dismissed warnings of judgment as religious zealotry. In a matter of minutes, these dismissals were extinguished. An earthquake shook New England in the winter of 1727. Marsden writes, "Many New Englanders regarded the quake as a warning of worse judgments to come. The Massachusetts governor called for a day of repentance and fasting for Thursday, December 21, and in Northampton, Edwards delivered the fast-day sermon." (p. 121) The Awakening had begun. From this moment onwards, Edwards was at the forefront of the religious Awakening.
Edwards' life ended prematurely, which makes us ask the question, "what might have been should he have lived longer?" He died in 1758 of complications resulting from a small pox inoculation. Edwards had led a remarkable life. He had been a pastor of a prominent church in New England, an originator of one of the greatest religious revolutions in history, and the President of a young college in New Jersey -- Princeton. Much of his mature intellectual work remained unpublished until after his death. His work does not imitate any prior person in the history of philosophy. He was a very original thinker. Marsden says it best, "Edwards was so enamored with seeing the eternal significance of human history that his "entire new method" not only ran counter to the Deist trends of the age but also departed from the traditional deductive-logical method… Although Edwards yielded to no one in utilizing rational deductive arguments, he was determined that a true view of universal reason must include historical knowledge as well as deductive. Hence his grand comprehensive theology would not imitate the forms used by Thomas Aquinas or even the Reformed systematizers such as Francis Turretin or Peter van Mastricht, but rather it would imitate Scripture itself." (p. 488) Clearly, Edwards was a tremendous figure who created his own niche in the history of early intellectual America.
This is the first full-scale critical biography of Edwards in 60 years. Marsden's biography represents the re-awakening of great scholarship on the works, life, and influence of Jonathan Edwards. Biographies usually target a general audience and lose the rigor an academic requires for use in the classroom. This biography is an exception to this rule. The book is accessible to a general audience, but it does not surrender rigor for academic use. Marsden offers a balanced perspective on Edwards who was clearly a great figure in the history of early America and in the history of western philosophy.

It is striking to find that the buddies 34 and 36 under our Plus Size Wedding Dress Clearance in multiples. But let's be honest: have fuller women not as much right to a beautiful Plus Size Wedding Dress Clearance? Exactly! They may be more difficult to find, but they are sure to know. The pictures below also show that a fuller bride (at least) is as beautiful as a petit version. A kilogram more or less, if you feel good inside, you radiates this to the outside and double cross out!


About Wikijunior: A while ago, the Beck Foundation approached the Wikimedia Foundation, inquiring about whether we would be able to use our resources to develop educational material for a younger audience. We responded that we would be interested in such a project, and that our materials can be adapted for children. A proposal was sent, and we received a small grant to develop the project (see October 16, 2004 board meeting). Thus was born Wikijunior. For more information see the project's page: Wikijunior here on meta and the actual project being developped here on Wikibooks.

4.2 How would Kiki Improve Wikijunior Solar System?
These are illustrations/panels that I stole with permission from Gashapon Shop. The character pictured is named Rainee, and she runs a hobby shop for her dad. The reason I've included this character is because I'm anticipating many of you will find #2 too cutesy.
versatile, can work in any pose.
very pen-and-ink looking, the strong black lines lend themselves to print media very well, not reliant on color printing, in case the page doesn't have other color images on it.
nice compact images that don't depend on fashion accessories to be interesting, seems like a nice wholesome universal kid.
My favorite. Simple, versatile, and elegantly drawn. Having checked out the artist's other work, I'm confident that this will work. --208.25.63.25 19:09, 10 August 2005 (UTC) (don't have an account on Meta, but I'm CodeGeneratR on the English and Swedish Wikipedia).
How would Kiki Improve Wikijunior Solar System?
How would you propose putting Kiki into a 48-page booklet about the solar system?
As for how she'd look, I'd say superimposing her over actual images (though never fully blocking out the photographcs), sidebar panel conversations, comic strips within the booklet regarding information she has learned (I am a big fan of comics afterall) and maybe some type of activity page (make a mobile or something).
What role would she take?
I believe it would be fun and interesting to have her basically be the half-guide/half-learner for the entire book experience. She'd basically have questions that maybe the kids reading the booklet would have (i.e. How hot does the sun get or What are the rings of Saturn made of?). She could also be a guide because since she's such a youngster herself, the kid's could relate and pretend to be with her on the trip.
How would having Kiki be better than not having Kiki?
It would take the "this is a boring text book" edge off of the booklet. Pictures already help in that respect, but adding a cartoon character that kids like to look at and see in different situations gives it a larger sense of fun. It wouldn't be simply learning = boring, but rather learning = fun. The pictures can be cute, funny and that makes it less of a chore to go through. It also adds the element that Kiki is a kid, so are the readers, and thus creating a sense of connection between the reader and material.
Can Kiki be Polynesian (the original concept)?
Of course she can. The image here is actually of one named Rainee. The design can be altered to match more of the original Polynesian concept. No problemo.
He has some experience in animation.
How would you propose putting Kiki into a 48-page booklet about the solar system? *What role would she take?
The solar system is a tricky one, as it is full of content. Being the first book on the series, we must introduce the character, which is very space-demanding. My approach would be to use the very first page exclusively for introductions (this has already been done by Uderzo and Tabary, so I'm confident that it will work here). I will also dedicate the last 2-4 pages to puzzles and games that require reading the book to beat.
Can your Kiki meet the original requirement of looking Polynesian?
If I got it right it's supposed to be a girl who lives in Hawaii. I can't say I've seen any specific age on her. Only that you'd prefer her to be "relatively attractive". So judging from that and the fact that she's supposed to be young, I figured around the age 16-19. Anyway, I'm sure you get a lot of Lilo & Stitch type of designs, so I wanted mine to look somewhat unique (yet normal). So I made her very much like my niece at the age of 13 would like her. My version of Kiki is very adult and female, but still fresh, playful and sporty. I also made her "race" in a grey-zone. Whether or not she's a native Hawaiian girl is left wide open for the reader. I think it's a character that would be very much liked by young ones as it's very stylish and not too suger-sweet. I hope you like it as much as I do. If not, it was very fun trying. And you're more than welcome to ask me again.
Can you show us some other examples of Kiki or any other human figure involved in some kind of activity?
At this moment, there is not enough info about what role is going to perform Kiki on the books. Is she going to get an active role during the whole book? That is, being part of an ongoing story, or is she going the be mainly on static poses commenting certain points of some topics?
On the first case, it's important to being able to draw Kiki from different angles.
On the second case, we must know if she is going to be full bodied or if we are going to show only her face. It's more difficult to draw a full body, but a single face requires being able to draw interesting expressions.
The character is not well defined yet. This is important as it affects her outfit and gestures. I suggest everyone to write up to five adjetives describing Kiki in his/her mind, and up to three things Kiki isn't. Note that defects define the character better than virtues, but we must also transmit values to kids, both are important.
DrJones - Kiki is: Fun, smart, curious, irresponsible, witty. Kiki isn't: studious, calm, bad-mannered.
Will Kiki interact with elements of the book? If that is the case, we need images of her in action.
IS: Curious, adventurous, energetic, boisterous, quick-witted. Likes to tell people what she knows. Interested in trying on the lab coat, the space suit, the stethescope, etc.
IS: I do see Kiki as a an adventurous and enthusiastic girl that can, at times, show a calm, shy and studious side. She likes learning, but only on her own terms (looking for stuff she finds interesting). She'd be completely stifled by any kind of shool environment. She's quite smart, but too smart.
ISN'T: Though she's relatively calm and balanced for her age, she certainly isn't the kind of girl that can sit still for very long. She's also not opinionated, she's pretty much NPOV all the way. If she does have an opinion on a subject, she leaves room for doubt. I agree that she's in no way bad-mannered; although she could be described as a rascal, she rarely, if ever does anything illegal or truly ill-mannered.
I think her place in the book should be single illustrations, mostly of Kiki explaining stuff directly to the viewer, often in a surreal environment (she could be holding two planets to say something about their relative size, or be shown playing pokapok with ancient Mayans). I'm against any kind of storyline, though perhaps certain explanations could span several pictures. I'd also like to see her interviewing (famous) scientists (this is where her shy side could surface).
I would say that Alexander Shen and Carlos Hoyos Barceló are both still paying attention and have been responsive to questions we've been asking here. They can each demonstrate that they have produced artwork in the past (they provide deviantart links), and that they can draw new stuff on short notice. That's a good indication that they can comple something that they start for a wikibook.
Personally, I like Kiki 5 because the artist has demonstrated simple and appealing cartooning style which could work really well in a variety of wikijunior situations. He also seems to devote a lot of time to his comic strips. Dr. Jonez' deviantart journal indicates he is very busy with a couple of games.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to take these designs as a starting point and collaboratively design a Kiki that takes everybody's comments and suggestions into account. We've got at least three artists (including myself) willing to contribute time to the project (and possibly more), but I doubt any one of us would be very enthusiastic about drawing somebody else's designs. If we created a Kiki, based on these three designs that three people can draw comfortably, we'd have three artists instead of one. Three 48 page booklets, with at least a drawing per page would add up to 144 drawings. That's pretty much an impossible workload for just one artist. Designing Kiki this way would require some more activity than we've seen so far, but I think if people started submitting quick design sketches, it could pick up momentum. I think it would be a more productive environment than the current contest-like setup. I've pretty much kept quiet up till now, because other artists weren't aware of this page and I didn't want to take an unfair advantage. If we could collaborate on the design, everybody could just speak freely.
As a second point, you can't hold it against people that they haven't responded to questions or comments, since none of the artists were informed about this page. Carlos and myself contributed as wikimedians, and I think Alexander Shen found this page by himself. No one was officially informed that they could (or should) respond to comments.
That's the problem with a Wiki, isn't it? There is no "we", no "official" and no "process", though many of us have been following Zanimum's lead.
On the bright side, there is also nothing to prevent any artists from contributing any number of new sketches, or collaborating on a new "multi-artist" Kiki design and posting it anywhere on any of the wikis. If you are interested in that, why not talk to some artists and see if anything comes of it?
I don't think the various Wikijunior editors have a strong collective opinion about the best way to add a character to these booklets. Maybe the artists have some ideas. I suspect that those with cartoon strip experience might have an advantage at this because they have already grappled with how to illustrate a fact or an experience. I have no artistic or publishing experience, so I am just guessing.
Have a look at b:Wikijunior Solar System/Solar System. The text is pretty much done, (except for the part where maybe 50% of it will have to be removed and pictures added). Or b:Wikijunior Solar System/Sun. That one is pretty far along, too. Could you alert the other talented and interested artists that we cannot make a decision because there is no "we", so a free-for-all is commencing?
For this to succeed, it is important to generate a lot of discussion, so please, comment freely and frequently. It would also be good to continue the discussion on Kiki's character, started above by Carlos.
I've kicked things off by basically copying (perhaps interpreting would be more accurate) the above three designs, with a little artistic license, and trying to make them a little more polynesian. I think it would be best to take these three as a starting point, but we should certainly take another look at the other designs as well.
