my question is regarding intellectual property and copyright.
I have an old diary that I am looking at publishing into a book. It was written a Mr R A Jowett in 1919 who passed away in 1985. Before Mr Jowett passed away, he passed the diary on to my granddad, and after my granddad died I then got the diary.
I am wondering if I have the right to be able to be able to get the diary published into a book.
Copyright endures for 70 years beyond the death of the author. Therefore the book is still in copyright and still is for some years to come.
The intellectual property belongs to the estate of the deceased for that 70 years UNLESS it was the intention of the author to actually give the diary to your father to do what he wanted with it.
It is the intention behind it which is relevant.
There is case law which assists you which involves the estate of the late Dylan Thomas.
He left the script of Under Milk Wood in a pub in London having forgotten about it. He he then went to America where he died and I think he actually simply took a copy with him of the script.
He said to one of his friends words to the effect of "if you find the original script you can have it". The guy went back to the pub got the script and kept it.
About 15 years or so later (I am remembering this as best I can) the family found out about the script and wanted it on behalf of the estate.
They went to court and lost. The court found that DT had intended to give the script to the defendant and that saying that if he could found it he could have it was sufficient delivery.
In your case you were actually given the diary rather than lent it and therefore the intellectual property and it belongs to you.
I think if Mr Jowett's family were to take this to court it would simply come down to who's got the most money and if that was on an even field, you would probably win.
Would it be a good idea for me to register the copyright on uk copyright services, to get copyright for the diary/book being published put in my name.
UK copyright services is a private organisation and portal where people can register documents. It has no legal authority but it cannot do any harm.
Copyright exists simply by virtue of the fact that somebody wrote it and it can be simply assigned either by handing the document over or by letter or transfer deed or a whole variety of different ways.
In the United States, the situation is different and it must be registered to be binding but not so in the UK.
My grandfather wrote a Diary which we think is of great value.
I promote a guitarist by the name of Jet Harris ( ex Shadows).

Методій Почаївський (1091, Візантія ? — † 1228, Почаїв) — древньоруський православний святий, афонський чернець, преподобний. Перший архімандрит Почаївського монастиря. За переданням, вважається засновником Почаївської Свято- Успенської лаври. Преподобний Методій був спершу монахом монастиря на Афоні у Греції (тоді Візантія). Згодом відправився на Русь і прожив у Почаєві багато років. Під настоятельством Методія на Почаївській Горі було 25 ченців пустельників.

Преподобний Методій помер у 1228 році у віці 137 років. На його могилі був великий камінь, а на ньому напис: Зде лежить возобновитель й страж міста Святаго.

Про преподобного Методія не зберіглося ніяких друкованих достовірних свідоцтв, окрім народного шанування та польського рукописного твору Монастир Скит.

Передання про преподобного Методія

В Архіві Почаївської Лаври переховувався рукописний твір Monastyr Skit, писаний польською мовою, 1732-го року. Саме цей рукопис і записав давні народні передання про початок Почаївського монастиря. На жаль, зміст цього твору зовсім мало відомий, і сам твір не видрукуваний.

«Монастир Скит» розповідає, що в глибокій давнині наприкінці 12 століття, біля Почаївської гори жив побожний муж Туркул, який сильно любив цю гору. Він не раз бачив там видіння, — у сні йому являлася Божа Мати. Через це він покохав цю гору. Можливо, що це був монах келліот. Десь близько 1213 р. прибув до Туркула чернець з грецького Афону на ім'я Методій, глибокий старець. Туркул усе розповів Методієві про свої видіння Божої Матері, показав йому і всю гору та її довкілля. Чернець з Афону зрозумів, що це Сама Божа Мати обрала Собі місце перебування на Волині, та Почаївській горі, і що тут таки треба поставити монастир. Методій вирішив залишити на Почаївській горі побожну пам'ятку — він вибрав на горі високу липу, очистив її стовбура від кори, вигладив, — і намалював на ній Образ Божої Матері так, як Вона явилася в сні побожному Туркулові. Туркул захопившись, постановив віддати Почаївську гору Божій Матері. А Методій вернувся на Афон. За ним подався на Афон і Туркул. Довго пробував на Афоні Туркул, а вкінці він таки намовив ченця Методія вертатися на Почаївську гору і ставити там монастир для духовного просвічення усього Волинського краю. У 1219 р. вони обоє вернулися з Афону і почали будувати монастир на Почаївській горі. До будівництва обителі вони заохотили 12 будівничих (як і Київська Печерська Лавра), і монастир було закінчено у 1220 р. Біля них згуртувалися й інші ченці зі сходу. Біля монастиря були побудовані й окремі оселі-келії для нових монахів пустельників. Того ж 1220 р. священноієрей Методій освятив нову Церкву на честь Святого Переображення. Це був пустельножительний монастир, — ченці не спасалися разом, а кожен провадив своє окреме життя, як умів і як міг. У число пустельників зголосилися і 12 будівничих та ще кілька інших. А Настоятелем монастиря став о. Методій. Методій сильно полюбив Почаївську обитель. Він був добре освічений монах, писав пояснення на Євангелію, цебто складав т. зв. «повчальне Євангеліє». При монастирі він відкрив школу і зібрав багато рукописних книг. Архімандрит Методій користувався повагою та любов'ю від сподвижників і був мудрим учителем для них. Старець Методій помер у глибокій старості досягши 137 років.

Як зазначено, відомостей про те ким був цей священноієрей Методій немає. Мабуть, він був українець, що рано подався на святу гору Афон, і там спасався, і там став монахом, а пізніше ієреєм, ймовірно — при монастирі «Руссикон». Оскілький саме цей монастир мав великі й постійні зв'язки зі своєю батьківщиною Україною.

Пізніше Почаївський монастир став підупадати, бо час був тяжкий та неспокійний. Проте він ще довго існував, як монастир пустинножитний, і таким дожив аж до кінця 16 століття, коли був відновлений уже на інших основах, — як монастир спільножитний.

Grace Haah is the wife of Kevin Haah, founder and lead pastor of New City Church of Los Angeles. She has a B.A. in English from Bryn Mawr College, a law degree from Cornell, practiced law in upstate New York for a few years, and later worked in publishing before becoming a stay-at-home mom. In her spare time, Grace enjoys playing the piano and completing crossword puzzles.
What is your familial status and what are the challenges as well as rewards?
I am married with three children – a girl who just turned 10 and twins, a boy and a girl, who are 6-1/2 years old.
As for challenges, it's only recently – the last few years, really – that I've been able to get significantly involved in ministry, and I think that's largely because of my kids – because of their young age and the time it takes to take care of them. It's a lot of juggling. There are also emotional challenges, such as challenges to my patience.
However, as a parent, you can see a little of what it might be like for God to be our Parent, how childish we can be – bratty, messed up, and in need of a lot of help – and how amazingly patient and forgiving He can (and we need Him) to be. In that way, it helps me understand God a little bit better. Hopefully, the demands of parenting will shape my character overall as well to be more like Him.
What are your ministry passions? How did you discern these passions in your life?
I'm not really a big-group person – I don't enjoy speaking in public in front of a lot of people – and I wouldn't say I'm really a mid-size group person either. I like relating one-on-one or with just two or three people, so I like ministries like discipleship or having conversations where I can let other people talk openly, making sure their voice is heard.
Also, I'm totally not "Martha Stewart"-y and not much of a homemaker, but I do love to host, to take care of people, and to have people over. I don't think I realized that before I went into ministry because I had a very high standard of hosting – I thought I had to make all this food from scratch, make the house spotless, etc. But I think God has helped me look at hospitality much more simply.
Finally, I've always had a heart for people who are outsiders. They're the people I'm more naturally drawn to and feel more comfortable with, more so than people I perceive as having it all together. I think it's because I grew up feeling like an outsider, so I can empathize better with them.
What has been the greatest challenge in your faith journey thus far?
I've always been risk-averse, and I feel like that's served as a block for me in my faith journey. My husband Kevin is much more bold and adventurous, with a "can do" attitude, while I'm the one that tends to sit back and count the cost. I've slowly learned how to overcome that and trust in God to provide. You can and should still do your homework, but at a certain point, you have to have trust. You can't have that much control in your life – even if you want to, you can't. I feel blessed that although God has asked me to take that journey of faith and trust, He didn't push me headlong into it either. He's really patiently and gently led me by the hand, one step at a time. In that way, God has had a lot of mercy in working with me and my personality.
Thank you grace for sharing your personal thoughts. I particularly was encouraged when you shared how God gently led you in the path of trusting God without pushing you. He has his perfect timing. Thanks Joy for sharing this with all of us!
It was my pleasure and privilege to interview Grace and post her responses. So glad you were encouraged, Sophia!


Named By: Zhou & Zhang - 2002.
Synonyms: Didactylornis, Sapeornis angustis, Shenshiornis primita. Possibly also Omnivoropteryx.
Classification: Chordata, Aves, Omnivoropterygiformes, Omnivoropterygidae.
Size: About 30-33 centimetres long.
Sapeornis is named from a combination of SAPE and the Ancient Greek 'ornis' which means bird. SAPE is actually an acronym for the Society of Avian Palaeontology and Evolution. Also in 2002 another genus of bird named Omnivoropteryx was created by Stephen Czerkas and Qiang Ji. Omnivoropteryx was established as being separate to Sapeornis by the authors on the basis that the pubis is longer. At the time Sapeornis was not known by skull material and while Omnivoropteryx was, it was treated as valid. Since the naming however, skulls for Sapeornis have now been found, and these are near identical to the skull of Omnivoropteryx, which means that the only clear difference between the two genera is the length of the pubis. This has now led to speculation that Omnivoropteryx should become a synonym to Sapeornis, perhaps at a new species level as opposed to a separate genus.
Like with many of the early birds living in China during the early Cretaceous, Sapeornis shows a mix of characteristics that place it at some point between the early bird forms of the late Jurassic such as Archaeopteryx, and the more advanced bird forms that became prevalent towards the end of the late Cretaceous. Sapeornis had a rod-like pygostyle similar to Confuciusornis, though Sapeornis might have actually had a small number of tail flight feathers. Overall while the wings could have definitely been used for gliding, they did not have the same range of motion as modern birds and may have only been capable of limited flapping ability. The presence of a deeply keeled sternum to support strong pectoral muscles for flapping is still uncertain as one has not been found.
Sapeornis only had a small number of teeth that were present in the anterior tip of the upper jaw. Sapeornis is also known to have used gastroliths (small stones swallowed to help break up food), indicating that Sapeornis may have eaten harder food such as seeds. Sapeornis would not be the only early bird to do so as a seed eating diet has been confirmed for Jeholornis too. Like with most basal birds (and theropod dinosaurs), Sapeornis grew very slowly at first, before entering a rapid growth spurt upon approaching sexual maturity. Scleral ring analysis of Sapeornis indicates that it was diurnal, that is, active only during the daytime.

Interview with Mike
Q: Why did you decide to join OnlineCasinoRivals.com as a full timer?
A: The website is a nice initiative for solving gambler's problems and it also gives me the chance to do what I love doing best.
Q: How do you review a casino before ranking them as one of the best in the market?
A: I and my team have a set criterion to evaluate these casinos, these includes, security, licensing, reputation, website navigation, bonuses, diverse games, to name a few, recently we have added casino gamification to the list. Any casino that hopes to be ranked best by us must pass the above criteria, we also take customer's reviews of a casino into consideration before ranking it.
Q: Do you gamble?
A: Yes, I certainly do, and the experience also help me when rating a casino since I get the first-hand experience of playing in the casino.
Q: What is your favorite casino game and why is it?
A: Blackjack. Two reasons why I love playing Blackjack are: one, it's so easy to play and two, there's a very low house advantage.
Q: What is your role in OnlineCasinoRivals.com? What are your daily responsibilities?
A: As the senior casino reviewer, my main job is to review casinos and rate them and make sure that the casinos we are listing on our site are actually the best ones out there.
Q: What's the most difficult thing about your job?
A: The most difficult part of my job I will say is the process of reviewing casinos itself, there are times when a casino we wanted to rate would have checked all the requirements in our criteria but we still find some bad reviews about this casino online, we then have to put the casino on a waiting list and verify the claims of customers in these reviews, most times, we find out that they are made by disgruntled customers who lost money and wants to get back at the casino.
Q: What can players do to avoid scam online casinos?
A: To avoid scam casinos, players should check for casinos that are properly licensed under the government or reputable regulators and ensure that the casino has a good reputation. Alternatively, players can simply make their choice of online casinos from our recommended lists.
Q: What do you think is the most important innovation in the casino industry?
A: Presently I think that the fact that you can play casino games online and on your mobile is still the best development in the casino industry.

The Gist: Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians must read patients and situations quickly and accurately. Clinical gestalt and decision rules variably aid EM physicians in making vital decisions. As students, the opportunity exists to build this mysterious, elusive "gestalt" during clinical exposure and to cultivate this as we grow into physician learners. Clinical decision rules probably serve as an important stepping stone towards the boulder of clinical gestalt, but are accompanied by the potential to serve as a crutch.
As a medical student, I always seem to finagle a decision aid like Wells', PERC, NEXUS, OTTAWA, or TIMI score into my ED patient presentation. This is my way of overcompensating for my relative clinical naivety - my lack of gestalt. When the weight of someone's life lies in your judgement, do you trust that over an expert's calculated risk? Sometimes, however, it seems as though this places me between a figurative rock and a hard place. The rock symbolizing my fund of clinical knowledge and patient evaluation, whereas the hard place symbolizes the decision of utilizing a clinical decision rule, even if I know it's not that great or I know I'm solely employing the decision aid as a security blanket.
A gut instinct, or overall analysis, cultivated by personal experience and established through history and physical.
Evidence suggests that additional years of clinical experience improves ones overall clinical assessment of a patient. A 2005 study in Chest demonstrated a trend towards increased accuracy in diagnosis of PE in more experienced clinicians, although this did not reach statistical significance. Strange how that works, eh? We get better with practice, maybe.
What about clinical decision rules?
As a student, I innately love these although I know they're fraught with problems and validity issues. They build a framework and a guideline to substitute for the judgment and gestalt I have not yet cultivated. The rules seem to back up and quantify the components that might comprise an experienced clinician's gestalt - and it seems there's a rule for nearly everything.
Decision rules allow one to assess various aspects of a patient, add up a few numbers (typically countable on two hands), and provide us with a clean, black and white statistic, such as pre-test probability. Here are calculators for popular PE rules: the Wells' Criteria and, for low risk patients, the Pulmonary Embolism Rule Out Criteria (PERC).
Offsets risk. These rules may give a physician a safety net of scientific evidence what they've already surmised with their gestalt. For example, the Canadian Head CT rule could have a promising impact on reducing the number of CT scans in minor head injury.
Clinical decision rules represent a wide variety of levels of evidence, depending partially on the validation of the rule, internally or externally. Perhaps the numbers aren't as clean as they seem.
Clinical decision rules seem easy, shouldn't we just use those?
As algorithms, there's the possibility that clinicians may become too dependent on decision rules as opposed to continuing to develop and utilize clinical reasoning and thought.
They "help us leave our brains at the door," according to Dr. Andy Neill of Emergency Medicine Ireland.
The rules turn out to be nowhere near perfect and the external validation studies rarely seem to concur with the original derivations. The San Francisco Syncope Rule serves an excellent example of a failure of a decision rule. The validation studies for this rule, hoping to identify all serious outcomes within 7 days of the presenting syncopal episode, had sensitivities in the 79-80% range, far below an acceptable percentage for ED purposes and well below the touted 96% sensitivity in the original study (1,2). Of note, clinicians were 100% sensitive in meeting the primary endpoint the rule was designed to detect (3).
Affected by variations in disease prevalence, variable application of the rules by clinicians, and instability of the model from which the rule was derived.
Clinical decision rules are not uniformly agreed upon because they exist as a tool, rather than a rule (despite the nomenclature).
This debate between Dr. David Newman and Dr. Scott Weingart is exemplary in demonstrating disagreement between excellent physicians over decision rules in PE.
Utilization of these rules could be problematic when it conflicts with a less measurable and quantifiable measure such as clinical gestalt, particularly in the setting of a highly litigious health care climate.
Wide variation in use and familiarity of rules exists between academic and community medicine practices.
Use a mixture and encourage this practice. This 2003 analysis in JAMA demonstrated "similar" outcomes in clinicians who used gestalt versus those who used clinical decision rules.
This algorithm for PE from EMCrit demonstrates an integration of gestalt with clinical decision rules (where clinical gestalt trumps everything).
Historically, EM physicians (lumped together as a group), have pretty good clinical gestalt so use clinical encounters to cultivate away!
As a student, my inclination is that decision rules serve as the building blocks for gestalt, a way of beginning to form those pattern recognition skills. Additionally, they may prevent us from harming patients (or planning to, before an attending kindly guides us in a more appropriate direction). Yet, we must cast off our training wheels at some point.
Continue the dialogue regarding gestalt and decision rules so that both become better. See Twitter for banter from the Annual Scientific Meeting of the College of Intensive Care medicine (#CICMASM) where one tweeter stated, "NICE guidelines favor esophageal Doppler, grey haired intensivists favor bedside thought + clinical exam."

IEP mediation is the first official step in due process. It is designed to be less confrontational than a hearing in that its goal is to assist both parents and the school district in reaching a compromise.
The mediator is a neutral party. County and State Department of Educations provide districts with a list of qualified mediators. They do not work for the school district and they do not have any authority that allows them to force a parent to settle a case.
The sessions must be made available at no cost to the parent and are voluntary. If they are not successful, comments and evidence presented during the meeting cannot be used in the due process hearing.
IEP mediation gives parents the opportunity to understand the school district's reasoning and point of view and the school a chance to hear the parent's viewpoint without being in an adversarial environment.
Mediation allows the district to be more flexible in their settlement as they may want to avoid the costs of a hearing.
It also helps maintain a relationship with the school district. This is especially important if the child will be remaining at the school or if the family has other children who will be attending.
Both must agree to the proposed solution. In due process, a hearing officer hands down a decision. This may or may not be in the parent's favor.
Mediation is low cost, especially if attorneys are not involved.
The mass majority of dispute cases are resolved either in IEP meetings or in mediation. Very few cases make it all the way to a due process hearing. Once again, collaboration is usually best!
The mediation session must be held at a time and place convenient to the parent. It usually takes a full day. The district will usually send a special education administrator and case manager to the mediation. Parents may bring anything or anyone they wish including outside evaluations and specialists.
1. Full settlement of all issues: You've reached an agreement that both parties are happy with.
2. Partial settlement: You've agreed on some issues and disagreed on others.
3. No settlement was reached but both parties have agreed to try again at another time.
4. No settlement was reached and no further resolution attempts are scheduled. Parties have decided to go to a due process hearing to resolve the issues.
Once parents and the school district agree to a settlement and sign the forms, both parties are bound by the agreement. A written settlement is submitted and made binding by a court of law.
If you are dealing with a discipline issue or your child is facing expulsion, I encourage you to read the special section on school discipline and special education to better understand your rights and options.
If you are considering special education advocacy services you can read more about this option as well.

Bradford Young Joins ASC
August 13, 2015 Rachael Bosley
Bradford Young, ASC
The ASC has welcomed cinematographer Bradford Young into the ranks of active membership.
Born in Louisville, Ky., Young studied filmmaking at Howard University under renowned Ethiopian émigré Haile Gerima (Sankofa).
He began making his mark in independent cinema in 2011, when he won an Excellence in Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival for Pariah, directed by Dee Rees. At the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, Middle of Nowhere, his first film with director Ava DuVernay, won a Grand Jury Prize. The following year, Young pulled off an unprecedented achievement at Sundance, winning an Excellence in Cinematography Award for two films: David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints and Andrew Dosunmu's Mother of George. (Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC, was one of the jurors that year.)
Young's feature credits also include DuVernay's Selma, J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year, Dosunmu's Restless City and Tina Mabry's Mississippi Damned. His latest picture, Ed Zwick's Pawn Sacrifice, is scheduled for release next month.
Young also creates video installations, and his most recent work in that field was Bynum Cutler, which explored the mythos behind African-American homesteaders. His collaborations with artist Leslie Hewitt have been exhibited at The Kitchen, The Studio Museum in Harlem, The Menil Collection, Des Moines Art Center, the MCA Chicago and Lofoten International Arts Festival in Norway.

Development in International Financial Policies
Gottschalk, Ricardo, Jones, Stephany and Rosser, Andrew (2005) Development in International Financial Policies. In: OECD, --- (ed.) Fostering Development in a Global Economy: A Whole of Government Perspective. The development dimension . OECD Publishing, Paris, France, pp. 83-117. ISBN ISBN: 9789264010147

The currency and financial crises of the late 1990s generated a broad consensus that fundamental reforms in the international financial system are needed to appropriately address the challenges of the 21st century. The rationing of poor countries from private capital flows, even when these are booming to emerging countries, the drastic reversals of capital flows that trigger crises, the significant drought of private flows to all developing countries for five years after the Asian crises (which began to be overcome only fairly recently) implies that besides the objective of international financial stability, an equally important objective –to which insufficient attention has been given- is the provision of sufficient and sufficiently stable private and public flows to different categories of developing economies. It is therefore essential for the international financial system to be coherent with development that it both: (a) prevents developmentally costly crises and better manage them when they occur and (b) supports adequate net private and public flows to support poverty reduction and sustainable development. Whilst much of the international discussion has been on the former, much of this paper will focus on the latter, somewhat more neglected point. This paper aims to explore certain options for reform that are being debated by the international community which, if adopted, could considerably improve development policy coherence of OECD member countries and thereby contribute to meeting the challenges mentioned above. It will focus on new forms of encouraging more and more stable private and public flows to developing countries, involving public-private linkages, so that these countries can grow faster and reduce poverty, thereby moving closer to the Millennium Development Goals. It will also discuss key obstacles to reform, and the challenges for overcoming these. Following this introduction, section 2 provides a brief background analysis of recent trends in capital flows. The purpose is to show that these flows, although starting to recover from the extremely low levels seen since 1998, may still be easily reversible, which calls for the need of further reforms in the international financial architecture (IFA). Section 3 asks how much progress has been made so far, and argues that progress to date has been limited, and suggests areas in which further advances are needed. It highlights in particular the need for more vigorous action for implementing the Monterrey agenda on development finance, which includes a range of options for encouraging more and more stable capital flows to developing countries; and the need for more developing country representation in international fora. Section 4 addresses the issue of capital flows, sections 5 and 6 discuss the issue of developing country representation. More specifically, section 4 explores new public-private mechanisms that might be considered for adoption, to encourage more stable private flows to middle-income countries, and aid flows to the poor countries. Three possible proposals will be discussed: the creation of partial counter-cyclical guarantees, public incentives for encouraging socially responsible investment (SRI) in developing countries, and the International Finance Facility (IFF) put forward by the UK Treasury. The section will lastly discuss the current proposal put forward by the Basel Committee on banking regulation and supervision, on modifying the regulatory capital charge of banks. The reason for discussing the Basel proposal is that we believe that as currently designed it may have an unintended negative impact on capital flows to developing countries. Next, section 5 discusses obstacles to progress on reform of the IFA, from a political economy perspective. It will argue that insufficient or no developing country representation in the Basle Committees and other international fora as well as in the IFIs can be identified as a major, although not the only, reason why international financial policies seem to be lacking development coherence. Section 6 in turn discusses the challenges facing the international community for increasing developing country representation in the international fora. Section 7 concludes and indicates areas for further research.

The Dark Knight': To persuade Morgan Freeman to play Lucius Foxx, Christopher Nolan had to work very hard
By Alanis Hayal on January 2, 2021 Entertainment
No matter what film he's in, with his performances, Morgan Freeman still manages to impress the audience. He is quite a sight on screen with his sultry voice and wispy gray hair.
It was precisely for this reason that director Christopher Nolan wanted Freeman to appear in the "Dark Knight" trilogy, but at first Freeman wasn't very interested.
Actually, before Freeman decided to play Lucius Fox's role in the iconic franchise, it took some convincing.
From the outset, Christopher Nolan realized he wanted Morgan Freeman.
'The Dark Knight': Harvey Dent was originally going to be the character of Larry Holden in "Batman Begins" – "We changed our minds because we didn't want to make a second film"
In the "Dark Knight" trilogy, Nolan spent a lot of time trying to find out who would play each part. Nolan already knew who he wanted for the part of Lucius Fox, Batman's gadget supplier, even though it took a lot of thought to find out who would play many of the characters in the films.
In an interview on the Warner Brothers YouTube channel, he explained the process.
Nolan said, "When I started writing the character of Lucius, I did something I've always avoided doing in the past, which is writing with Morgan Freeman in mind,"
For Nolan, it is a challenge to write a character with an actor in mind, as it can often carry limitations.
"Trying to write characterization around an actor can be limiting, and I tried not to make it limiting," Nolan said. I wrote a part that I had never seen him play before.
But I knew that I just wanted him to be there, and I went after him for many, many months.
Christopher Nolan had trouble getting Morgan Freeman to play the "Dark Knight" role.
While Nolan knew for the role that he wanted Freeman, Freeman was not so sure it was a good option. Nolan spent several months pursuing him for the role and even visited Freeman to try to persuade him in his hometown.
He was really difficult to persuade, whatever he tells you now," Nolan said. "I actually flew to Memphis to meet him in person to really explain to him why he wanted the job.
And he actually said yes, and he turned up.
Though Freeman agreed to play Lucius Fox in theory, Nolan still had doubts that the actor would turn up for the shoot.
When he finally turned up for the shoot, I was very glad, because I had started to believe it was never going to happen," said Nolan. "But I managed to get him in the end.
Morgan Freeman does not see Lucius Fox as the father figure of Bruce Wayne,
Freeman uncovered his views on Lucius Fox in a separate interview with HeyUGuys.
"Bruce is … in this difficult place and really intends to stay there,"Bruce is… in this difficult place and really intends to stay there. "But circumstances are luring him out and I'm no different. I have something, and I want him to look at it."
Lucius is liked by Freeman because he embodies values he doesn't think he has.
"He's a brain,"He is a brain. "He is really decent, he is faithful.
But he's incredibly intelligent, I think. I like that, because I'm not.

Today was a tough day at work because the story broke last night at 5:20 p.m. that there were three confirmed cases of Swine Flu at the MTC. I did not know that until this morning when I got to work and saw the BYU paper with the headline. I knew they had some cases of type A flu, but not Swine flu. So here is what is happening in case some of you have heard it on the news.
Three elders got the Swine flu (brought in by someone's family member but I don't know where they were from). It takes about 48 hours to get a confirmation that it is actually Swine flu. Two of the elders are already fine and back to class but one is still in isolation. About 22 elders total have the type A flu. As a result of this, a decision that had been made earlier but wasn't going to take place until September is now in effect. That decision is that no family members can go inside the buildings with their missionary when they bring them to the MTC. All they can do is stop at the curb, let the missionary out and say goodbye and then drive off. There will be ushers to help them with their luggage. Apparently one elder had 75 family members in tow and officials said they could not handle crowds as large as that. It creates problems with security and they don't have enough room for that many people. As of tomorrow (Wednesday is the drop-off day every week), the families will not be allowed into the MTC buildings. That will be a permanent plan, not just for this flu outbreak.
I scrambled around all day long looking for disposable goods, especially cutlery that was wrapped. They figure this will probably last until about June 15, but it may be fine by next Monday. Some vendors freaked out and said they wouldn't deliver to any place that has Swine flu so I had to make arrangements for them to deliver to our building rather than to the MTC. Other vendors said they thought the whole blown-up issue of Swine flu was ridiculous and they would deliver directly to the MTC no matter what. I had to call all the vendors that deliver to the MTC and speak to them, reassuring them but also giving them the option as to where they could deliver their goods.
When you think about it, it's quite miraculous that there has been as little health issues as there are at the MTC considering how many missionaries come from all over the world. They have jumped right on this and have handled it very professionally without unneccessary alarm.
There are 140 missionaries waiting to be shipped to their destinations, but the MTC is not sending them out for a while. They get 500 new ones tomorrow. What's mind boggling is how many meals they will be preparing for the next week -- 6600 per day! Do you realize how much food that is?!? I personally think the MTC itself is a miracle. They handle so many people on a day-to-day basis that it's quite remarkable.
I've said it before and I'll say it now -- my job is rarely boring!
So the families won't be able to go thru the whole video and you out one door, them thru another door experience now? Is there no official goodbye for the family now?
How sad for Wes and Calli! Julie told me about this yesterday and while it makes sense it still kind of stinks for us. I was looking forward to that experience, especially for my little gal. Oh well, they have to do what they have to do.
What it means is that the goodbyes need to be said at home or at an airport when they live far away like we did with Jason. They are discouraging even siblings coming along in the car but won't say anything if they do come along. I can guarantee that it will be a quick goodbye at the MTC because there will be lines of cars dropping the missionaries off. It will be a quick hug and off they go.
I was sad about it when I heard because I would get so pumped up when we would see the video "Called to Serve" and see all those missionaries in one place. It literally showed the "army of God" all together and it was powerful. It was also like tearing my heart out - bittersweet experience. I don't think any of them were any harder than when we said goodbye to Jason at the airport, though. I remember the kids falling apart and how terrible I felt because we couldn't go with him out to Utah.
I'm sure we'll all get used to it.
Im sorry, Natalie, that you won't be able to have that experience.
It was certainly a tear jerker experience. I remember seeing that video with Adam, Lance, Dave, and myself. What a bunch of bawl babies we all become when we know we're leaving for two years and won't see our families. It was tough. The nice thing is we fairly quickly got over it once we met up with other missionaries.
Lance's good-bye was the only one that I have been able to go to. It was a great experience since I hadn't been able to see either Adam or Jess off. The coming home part is pretty cool, too. One of the missionaries serving in our ward is going home today. I remember that feeling of excitement, apprehension, and even a bit of sorrow over having to leave.
I hope the Elders that are sick will get well soon and that this flu will soon be a thing of the past.


Which of these appeals to you most?
We've discovered a great deal about styling and decorating weddings that we would love to share with you. One of the tricks for doing it successfully is looking at each aspect of your day and considering whether there is a styling opportunity there.
Obviously, you don't want your big day to look over the top for the space and style of the venue but you do want guests to be impressed at certain points in the proceedings. So here are some moments when you'll want to show off your taste and style.
Even if you're having a simple barn wedding or a buffet you need to consider your place settings. They're the first personal welcome your guests receive and somewhere each guest will be sitting for a large duration of the reception. So make them count.
Think about the time of year in which you're marrying and what would be suitable for your tables. Also think about the venue. If you're having a barn wedding then you'll probably want a more rustic feel which would of course be out of place at a chic city wedding.
There are so many aspects to consider. The way you tie your napkins, the way you label your place settings, whether you put a favour on each person's plate or whether you put the favours in the centre of the table.
Here our wedding stylist worked with the bride to organise tea as wedding favours and made them part of the place setting decoration, along with a thoughtful message.
A sprig of scented herbs makes this place setting special. Writing name tags for each guest will make them particularly welcomed. Styled by Ambience York.
A lace tablecloth is the perfect backdrop for this romantic rose petal place setting. Created by our wedding stylist.
Your place settings should also reflect the season in which you're marrying. This table ticks all the style boxes for a Christmas wedding day.
Don't forget the ceiling – interior designers tend to think of it as the 'fifth wall'. Having a beautifully styled area up above can make all the difference – even if you're spending much of your time out in the garden on your big day.
Think about using paper lanterns – either in white or colours that reflect your theme. Lanterns work particularly well at rustic weddings and can break up a dark, beamed ceiling area (as can carefully placed lighting).
A beamed ceiling can be 'softened' by the inclusion of paper lanterns in differing sizes.
Again, lanterns are used here to make a real emphasis on the Mexican Fiesta theme… Different colours and different sizes add visual interest as well as decorative.
This wedding had a casual, laid back feel. The relaxed atmosphere in the chillout area was enhanced by lanterns that reflected the colours used in the lounging cushions. Created by our Harrogate stylist.
Beautifully draped and covered chairs are a hallmark of our weddings. However, there are many different ways to do this. You don't have to have a single style of chair cover or tie at your wedding. Mixing it up can look fabulous. Think of bows, different fabric drapes, using greenery.
Using a variety of different colours on the chairs can look really effective, particularly if you're wanting to create a particular effect like in this pastel themed wedding.
For this country garden themed wedding, our stylist set the tone by organising wreaths of greenery around the back of every chair at the ceremony, which looked very romantic as guests arrived. Sprinkled petals added that further dimension to the garden theme.
We're seeing more and more weddings move away from large circular tables to long, refectory style seating. This often aids conversation and gives the couple to explore new decoration ideas.
Long strands of greenery can look stunning place along the length of the table and of course don't interfere with cross table conversations.
A long table can look particularly impressive when it's decorated with a particular colour palette. Here our stylist has created a Mexican Fiesta theme.

How A 'Confidence Coach' Helped Me Grow Up
We all know that confidence is a work need. But, like many women, I need more.
Confidence is honed, so I'm told. So I looked for a trainer and found Sheryl Goldstein, global strategy and business development director at Own the Room, a New York-based executive presence training firm. Own the Room trains individuals and groups in public speaking, presenting, and more.
Women's "confidence coaching" workshops were offered by Goldstein and her colleagues at The Girls' Lounge during Advertising Week in New York. She claims both junior and upper-level employees approach her seeking advice on how to improve their "executive presence" and professional confidence.
"We observe uncertainty and lack of confidence in their abilities to be taken seriously, to be heard," she says.
Goldstein's advice to ladies like me:
Avoid slurs
Goldstein detected my timidity right away. She stated she recognized it after I gave her a two-minute elevator speech full of "ums" and "likes" and "yeahs".
Her advice to other women is to pour water in their coffee, soda or wine glasses for every "yes" or "uh" they say. Squeeze a taste at the end of the hour to see how much you've diluted it down (literally). Learn More about confidence coaching for women.
Know "the pause's power"
Goldstein inquired about my project. I didn't know what to say so I blurted out "do most women arrive with a problem?"
Another Goldstein tip: if you don't know the answer right away, think about it before responding.
"The King of the Pause," says Goldstein, is Obama.
"I haven't given that enough thought," he says. Let me think about it, "It's also quite commanding."
Wait for others to engage you — engage yourself.
I told Goldstein about how shy I was at my new job, having to force myself to speak up in meetings and socialize with coworkers at happy hour. I may be waiting for an invitation to join the chit-chat, Goldstein noted. And it won't come.

There is good news this year from the countries aided by donations to Rain Forest Rescue, a unique program designed to help local residents restore damaged land and preserve areas that remain pristine.
Projects in countries like Belize and Guatemala are providing the means for families and entire villages to stabilize hillsides once stripped of their lush foliage by logging and unsustainable agriculture. By introducing agricultural practices such as shade-grown coffee and scientific forestry, economic stability is made possible and pressure is relieved on remaining natural areas. Better methods of detecting illegal fires and forest clearing are also being introduced and the system of protected areas is being expanded.
Preserving the remaining Maya Forest is a major goal of Rain Forest Rescue. This amazing 13-million acre forest is the largest intact acreage of tropical rain forest outside of the Amazon Basin. It is home to a Noah's Ark of animals ranging from jaguars and the beautiful keel-billed toucan to a host of songbirds that summer in North America. Through projects now underway in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy and local organizations, the people of Belize and Guatemala are turning precious tropical rain forest land back into its natural, ancestral state. The tools being used are participant-involved planning, technical assistance, and help in establishing a stronger ranger force in nature preserves and protected areas.
Few places on earth rival the Maya Forest and the ecological benefits it provides. This vast expanse of tropical forest is home to resident and migratory birds and top predators like the jaguar and harpy eagle.
To local people, the land yields food, medicinal plants, material for homes and products to sell. It also is the key to hydrological processes that both store and provide water. And for all of us, the countless trees and other vegetation sequesters carbon, helping to reduce the impacts of climate change.
To help protect this world class forest area while at the same time contributing to the health and financial security of its traditional residents, the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy and local conservation organizations provided support to two landmark projects in 2010.
An unprecedented planning process was implemented to create a 600,000-acre, bi-national Maya Mountains Protected Area. This magnificent expanse of tropical forest requires the cooperation of Belize and Guatemala. It is becoming a reality thanks to a strategic plan called the Conservation Action Plan that was developed by involving a broad range of stakeholders—communities, organizations, government agencies, conservation-filled staff, private businesses and academics. The result is an exemplary model of integrated land management that maintains ecological integrity while preserving cultural heritage and a brighter tomorrow for future generations.
The Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area is a 260,000-acre protected area and the largest such expanse of pristine land in private ownership. The land is owned and managed by Programme for Belize, a local nonprofit organization, and held in trust for the people of Belize under the terms of a formal Memorandum of Agreement with the Government of Belize. The problem of funding ranger staff and protective management activities may be partially solved through an arrangement with six U.S. and Canadian utility companies. The companies are willing to invest in "carbon credits" to offset tons of their emissions if the forest is kept in a condition that allows its continued sequestering of carbon. Rain Forest Rescue funds are supporting a process to validate the sequestration under international standards.
Rain Forest Rescue donations are helping Guatemala villagers and conservation organizations in their race against time to protect native forests from clearance for agriculture, roads and new developments.
More than six-million acres of the Maya Forest is in Guatemala, serving not only as a refuge for rare species of wildlife, but also home to over 100 Mayan archaeological sites. This land is also of immense importance to its residents. Despite this importance, threats of forest destruction are ever-present. Rain Forest Rescue is helping conservationists create new protected areas, monitor forests and wildlife, improve fire management, and increase public and private support.
Forty-four monitoring stations were established in two national parks to monitor migratory birds and analyze their population status. A total of 198 migratory birds from 16 different species and 513 resident birds from 43 different species were captured, analyzed, tagged and released. The information will help assess the impacts of habitat management strategies and help guide future forest management decisions.
Knowing where forest fires are being started and land is being cleared is an important step in counteracting these destructive practices. Now remote sensing technology is being used to identify and chart exact locations of these occurrences in the vast Maya Biosphere Reserve. It is an important step toward better protection and for gaining public and governmental support in the way of policies and action.
Sierra de Lacandón National Park is 500,000 acres and protects some of the most important tracts of intact tropical forest in Guatemala. Rain Forest Rescue funds last year supported a multi-pronged conservation strategy to engage local communities in protecting the resources of this precious area. For example, a fund was established to provide micro-credit loans to local people seeking to start forest-friendly businesses. Additionally, a tree nursery was established and has already produced 4,600 plants and helped reforest 86 acres of cleared land. Local community members were also involved in fire management activities in the park with seven firefighting brigades established, trained and equipped. As part of community education, some 1,500 environmental education kits were delivered to local schools along with 25 sets of text books, 520 spelling books and four environmental encyclopedias.
The Sierra Madre Highlands extend 236 miles along southwestern Guatemala. These impressive mountains and volcanoes form the pine-oak and cloud forests, home to rare species like the Horned Guan and resplendent quetzal. The steep slopes are also prone to landslides and floods when the protective forests are removed.
To help stabilize de-forested slopes and prevent the recurrence of devastating landslides and flooding, an all-out effort is being made to reforest the land. In the past year, 150,000 plants were produced in two nurseries and 375 critical acres were planted by villagers.
Shade-grown, organic certified coffee provides sustainable income for local residents without causing pollution from chemicals and the loss of forest canopy common with traditional coffee farms. The result has been the production of coffee that was ranked among the top 10 in a national tasting competition. Rain Forest Rescue donations have helped support local conservation organizations in developing a marketing plan for the coffee in an effort to encourage the use of the environmentally-friendly but more expensive practices.
The backbone of the protected area system in the Sierra Madre Highlands consists of private and municipal reserves. Rain Forest Rescue, in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy and the local Private Natural Reserves Association is helping to expand these reserves and develop appropriate management plans for their sustainable use. A total of 70 private nature reserves have been established or are in the process of being legally declared. In addition, two new municipal parks were established last year and a council of representatives was formed to discuss common concerns and exchange ideas for more effective management.
Technical assistance in the form of business plans, operation and accounting manuals and staffing guidelines was provided as two new municipal associations were created to manage their communities' natural resources. The associations represent 14 communities and impact over 450,000 people. The goal is to implement sustainable development, increase land productivity, expand ecotourism and develop environment and risk management strategies. The overall goal is to improve the management of forests and protect freshwater resources.
Restoring and protecting the land in this beautiful country is progressing one tree at a time as men, women and children are assisted, locally and internationally, with the help of Rain Forest Rescue donations.

Remember That Time When Jared Kushner's Dad Donated $2.5M to Harvard and Then His Son Got Into Harvard?

The Price of Admission

Turns out that wealthy people including actresses, actors and business folks have been involved in a scandal that includes all kinds of crazy allegations to get their children into prestigious institutions.
But it looks like the president's son-in-law, holder of Ivanka's hand and a security clearance he didn't earn, was ahead of the curve. Author Daniel Golden put Jared Kushner's game on front street in his 2006 book, The Price of Admission, where he questioned how Kushner, a mediocre student at best, was accepted to one of America's most prestigious institutions: Harvard.
"My book exposed a grubby secret of American higher education: that the rich buy their underachieving children's way into elite universities with massive, tax-deductible donations," Golden wrote for the Guardian in 2016.
"It reported that New Jersey real estate developer Charles Kushner had pledged $2.5 million to Harvard University not long before his son Jared was admitted to the prestigious Ivy League school, which at the time accepted about one of every nine applicants. (Nowadays, it only takes one out of 20)."
A former official at the Frisch School in Paramus, N.J., where Kushner attended, told Golden that there was no way that Kushner was going to Harvard on merits alone.
"His GPA [grade point average] did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought, for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not.''
Golden wasn't even digging up info on Kushner back in 2006 when his book was published. He was actually looking for a connection between Harvard donors and their children's admission into the school.
My Kushner discoveries were an offshoot of my research for a chapter on Harvard donors. Somebody had slipped me a document I had long coveted: the membership list of Harvard's Committee on University Resources. The university wooed more than 400 of its biggest givers and most promising prospects by putting them on this committee and inviting them to campus periodically to be wined, dined and subjected to lectures by eminent professors.
My idea was to figure out how many children of these corporate titans, oil barons, money managers, lawyers, high-tech consultants and old-money heirs had gone to Harvard. A disproportionate tally might suggest that the university eased its standards for the offspring of wealthy backers.
I began working through the list, poring over Who's Who in America and Harvard class reunion reports for family information. Charles and Seryl Kushner were both on the committee. I had never heard of them, but their joint presence struck me as a sign that Harvard's fundraising machine held the couple in especially fond regard.
The clips showed that Charles Kushner's empire encompassed 25,000 New Jersey apartments, along with extensive office, industrial and retail space and undeveloped land. Unlike most of his fellow committee members, though, Kushner was not a Harvard man. He had graduated from New York University. This eliminated the sentimental tug of the alma mater as a reason for him to give to Harvard, leaving another likely explanation: his children.
Sure enough, his sons Jared and Joshua had both enrolled there.
Golden found that out of the list of 400 donors—excluding those who didn't have children—half of the list had at least one child who attended the prestigious university. Golden notes that because Big Kushner had received jail time for tax violations, illegal campaign donations and retaliating against a witness in 2004, they weren't eager to associate with him, but they didn't have any problem taking his money which was paid in annual installments of $250,000.
So, yes, Jared Kushner is a product of wealthy parents funding his education and marrying up.
Basically, Jared Kushner is a thot.
