The aim of the present study was to investigate predictors of outcome of counselling, using mean change scores of three outcome measures, at treatment completion and at 4-months follow-up, in a randomised trial of face-to-face (n = 30) versus telephone counselling (n = 30) for occupational stress. Factors associated with treatment outcome were investigated using regression analyses with the mean change scores in three self-rated measures, including the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation Scale (CORE), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) from pre- to post-intervention and pre-intervention to 4-months follow-up as the dependent variables and demographics, intervention-related and personality measures as independent variables. Irrespective of outcome measures and assessment points, it was found that the more severe the baseline symptomatology, the higher the degree of change was achieved. Clinical relevance of the present results and directions for future research are discussed.

Canada's ski cross champion proud to be Okanagan College student
Okanagan College Media Release
With Olympic fever still lingering, one of Canada's future Olympic hopefuls is giving high marks to Okanagan College.
Kelsey Serwa, a member of Canada's National Ski Cross team and reigning Ski Cross World Champions, is wrapping up her second successful term at the College's Kelowna campus before heading to the snowfield in Mount Hood, Oregon for training.
"I go to Okanagan College this time of year because it's the only time I'm free from training and racing, so it works well with my schedule," she said. "I came back from four weeks of dry land training in Whistler to take my finals, and I wouldn't be able to do that if it wasn't for the College".
Serwa, who turns 23 in September, has taken classes in anatomy, physiology, English and psychology, all in preparation for a degree in physiotherapy.
"I like the smaller classes because you don't feel intimidated asking questions," she said. "The teachers give you the guidance you need, but you're really working independently. And I think there's more of a relationship between the students as well. We're all willing to help each other."
Serwa works hard on the slopes, and equally hard on the books. Entering into exams, she's never sure how well she will do, but regularly averages 90 per cent.
Serwa said she's one of the few members of her team who not only put time into her sport career, but also into her studies.
"You can't be an athlete forever," said Serwa, noting her body is still recovering from the knee injury she sustained last January when she crashed during the World Cup race in Alpe D'Huez, France.
"What I also like about school is that it keeps your brain working in a different way. Competing at a world class level requires great mental abilities, but when I'm in school, I'm developing a different kind of skill," she said, adding her parents always reminded her that no matter what, school came first, sports second".
Now with her finals all done, Serwa can focus her attention on the upcoming season, which includes plans to defend her FIS Freestyle World Ski Championship title in Myrkdalen, Norway in February.
"No matter whether it's school or sport, people are always more motivated to learn what they want to learn, and it makes a real difference to be in a place where instructors are helpful, the setting is beautiful, and students are willing to share."

Q: How to impute NAs dependent on another predictor? I am trying to run a multinomial logistic regression with the function mlogit from the package of the same name. I would like to ignore NA values whose presence is always dependent on the value of other predictor (i. e. their presence is not meaningful, as it's a consequence of the structure of the data frame).
Suppose that I want to model the relationship between academic level, the device used for reading, the website from which books were downloaded and several other values. My data frame would look like this:
 > ReadingChoice <- read.table("C:\\Users\\34648\\Documents\\ReadingChoice.txt", sep="\t", header=TRUE)
 > head(ReadingChoice)
    Device TimeforReading AcademicLevel DownloadedFrom
1    Ebook          Night          High         Amazon
2    Ebook        Morning          High        Genesis
3     Book          Night        Medium           <NA>
4 Computer           Noon           Low        Genesis
5     Book        Morning           Low           <NA>

NAs in the predictor DownloadedFrom always depend on the predictor Device. When I run the function, I obtain this:
> ReadingChoice <- mlogit.data(ReadingChoice, shape="wide", choice="TimeforReading")
> LogisticRegression <- mlogit(TimeforReading ~ 1 | Device + AcademicLevel + DownloadedFrom, data=MadridR, reflevel=1)
Error in solve.default(H, g[!fixed]) :
  Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular: U[7,7] = 0

How should I run the mlogit function? The aim is to make the algorithm skip those values but keeping the rows containing them. The arguments na.action or na.omit do not improve things. A similar question was posted about a year ago, but the one here is slightly different.
Thank you in advance!

Only a handful of Butler, Warren county school districts continue to offer D.A.R.E. program
Officers, educators say classes do make an impact
By: Roxanna Swift, WCPO Contributor

D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) was created in 1983 as a prevention program to keep kids off drugs and out of gangs.

CINCINNATI -- D.A.R.E. programs continue to run strong in some Butler and Warren county schools, four years after many departments around Cincinnati called it quits.
D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) was created in 1983 as a prevention program to keep kids off drugs and out of gangs. The program is taught by police officers in schools over several weeks, with topics ranging from drugs to stress to peer pressure.
The program received criticism after a U.S. Government Accountability Office report in 2003 indicated there was no significant difference in illicit drug use between students who participated in D.A.R.E and those who did not. While the program continued at the time, many police departments around the Tri-state, including Cincinnati and Hamilton, cut the program in 2012 due to budget cuts from the state.
"A lot of the programs were done away with because of manpower and economics at the time," said Officer Gregg Lamb of the Fairfield Police Department .
The cost to run the program includes the student workbooks and the pay rate of the officer delivering the program.
The cost of the workbooks is covered by a grant from the Ohio Attorney General's Office , with the stipulation that officers must include a state-mandated unit on over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
The police officers receive their normal pay rate while on duty in the schools. While they are paid by their respective departments, the attorney general often reimburses a small portion of their salaries through grants.
Since the cuts in 2012, Fairfield City Schools is one of a few Greater Cincinnati districts still running the program. Others include Springboro, Mason, Kings and Wayne local school districts.
"The program, in my personal opinion, has been very successful," Lamb said.
D.A.R.E. officers typically make introductory visits to lower-level elementary students to talk about safety, but the core program is implemented in fifth or sixth grade, depending on the district.
Officers are currently teaching the Keeping it Real curriculum, which is the third update introduced by D.A.R.E. America since the program's inception.
" 'Keeping it Real,' which is what we're doing now, is by far the best curriculum so far," said Sgt. Don Wilson of the Springboro Police Department . "It's the first curriculum that we have that is actually research-based."
The program is delivered over 10 to 12 weeks and incorporates videos, workbooks, PowerPoint presentations and class discussions.
Although the curriculum still delves into the topics of drugs and substance abuse, the material has shifted to focus on the factors that lead to drug use rather than the effects of using drugs.
"Scare tactics and just throwing out what drugs do to you, that was part of the flaw in earlier parts of D.A.R.E.," Wilson said.
He and other D.A.R.E. officers now focus more on such subjects as conflict resolution, coping mechanisms for stress, fitting in with peer groups and bullying.
"We want the kids to make good choices and know that, it's OK, you can tell your friends 'no' and they'll still be friends," said Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Kelly McKay, who delivers the program at Waynesville Elementary School .
The current curriculum also emphasizes police officers' roles as facilitators for discussion rather than lecturers.
"They (students) tend to learn more, and they learn from each other as they're kind of figuring things out," Wilson said.
Despite the lack of measurable results, many police officers and school officials maintain that the program does have an impact on students.
Proponents credit the program for starting conversations at home that might not happen otherwise. In Mason, the program emphasizes the role parents play in drug abuse prevention by inviting students' families to attend D.A.R.E. graduation assemblies.
"I think every year those D.A.R.E. graduations are really meaningful for families," said Tracey Carson, public information officer for Mason City Schools .
"We see it as a piece of a very larger puzzle as far as education around substance abuse or drug use," said Waynesville Elementary School Principal Tammy Burchfield.
For many officers, the greatest impact can be seen in the relationships built with kids, some of whom later credit their D.A.R.E. officer with influencing their decisions.
"You build that relationship, and you get that trust, and they do respond very well to it," McKay said.


This installment is a majestic dragon. With her frilled ears and elegant face, right down to her huge form, powerful claws and long tail, she fits the style of everything from a pocket dragon to a storybook dragon. Now add to this her beautiful bat-like wings and you have a companion or a monster sure to win the fair maiden away from the knight himself.
In this pack, the 'Hawk's Comb' is of special concern. It will work with all graft-able pieces currently offered EXCEPT the Dragon ears. Using these together will produce a ridge along the forehead that will need post work.

Top French bank chief attacks no-frills rivals for freeloading
By Julien Ponthus, John O'Donnell
PARIS/FRANKFURT (Reuters) - One of France's top bankers has accused low-cost rivals of piggybacking on a system built by big banks, saying they should shoulder more of the expense.
Philippe Brassac, Credit Agricole bank Chief Executive Officer arrives at a Senate hearing set up for the CEO to answer questions prompted by the Panama Papers revelations on the world of offshore finance, in Paris, France, May 25, 2016. REUTERS/Pascal Rossignol
The remarks from Philippe Brassac, who is chief executive of Credit Agricole CAGR.PA, one of the country's largest lenders, underscores the worries about rivals from supermarkets to fintechs competing for customers with cheaper services.
"I think it is time for the authorities to realise that they cannot allow players, who offer services but where they do not pay for the infrastructure, to get settled in," said Brassac, who also chairs the influential French Banking Federation.
"I find it extremely destructive for the system to accept ... that players could sell very cheap banking cards and in the end shoulder no infrastructure cost."
His remarks, which relate to the cost of payment systems and distributing cash, also highlight widespread concerns about the fintech sector, which uses payment apps on mobile phones or the internet rather than the bank counter.
The sector, which started with simple payment systems, has grown with the use of smart phones to either pay for a taxi or manage wealth.
Brassac's comments come as Fintech groups turn their attention to France and mobile phone group Orange prepares to launch Orange Bank in the country in July.
A spokesman for Orange said its bank had a full banking license and its own infrastructure.
Brassac's criticism earned a rebuke from many involved in fintech.
"It's nonsense for incumbent banks to moan about new players using infrastructure that was built decades ago," said George Bevis, chief executive of TIDE, which offers current accounts on the internet to businesses.
"Passing electrons between banks is not something that banks can claim is difficult or for which they should be charging the expensive prices they do."
Many fintech groups are less heavily regulated than large banks, who have dominated finance for decades and faced even stricter rules and costly capital demands after a financial crash triggered a global economic slowdown.
Lawrence Wintermeyer, who heads Innovate Finance, a fintech trade body in the United Kingdom, said that while payment services were "broadly unregulated", others areas of fintech were.
He predicted further cooperation with established banks.
The sector already employs more than 60,000 people in Britain, providing services like contactless payments, banking apps and online crowd funding.
"Low cost airlines didn't put the national carriers out of business but did force them to become more agile, helping more people to travel," said Wintermeyer. "The same applies to fintechs."

"This is not a kind of syntax that is at home in early modern or modern English, or, at any rate, it was not at home until the appearance of the King James Version," Alter writes. Alter's study of parataxis extends to Faulkner, Hemingway ("It was a forest of cork oaks, and the sun came through the trees in patches, and there were cattle grazing in the trees"), Cormac McCarthy and Marilynne Robinson ("Well, see and see but do not perceive, hear and hear but do not understand"). As I've noted before, Alter's not always convincing: His attempts to find the Old Testament in Seize the Day feel strained. But he's never totally off-track, and with the King James Bible turning 400 this year it may be the right time for a retrospective look.
Alter concedes that the connection between American fiction and the King James Bible is fraying, especially since it isn't the standard text in most congregations now. Yet "something of the old dynamic stubbornly persists," Alter writes. Reviewing Pen of Iron in the New Republic, Adam Kirsch notes America's dwindling biblical literacy and asks, "It would be interesting to try to read more recent American fiction through Alter's lens: can you hear the Bible in David Foster Wallace's prose, or Lydia Davis's?" Well, we can give it a shot.
This week's New Yorker includes "Backbone," an excerpt from David Foster Wallace's forthcoming posthumous novel, The Pale King. Structured and styled much like a medical case study, the story depicts a few years in the life of a preadolescent boy whose "goal was to be able to press his lips to every square inch of his own body." Wallace mostly looks at the boy from a clinical distance, and anatomical jargon quickly piles up: "the interior thigh's dense and intransigent gracilis, pectineus, and adductor longus, which fuse below Scarpa's triangle…" And so on. It's ugly, unliterary language—perhaps all the better to match the obscure, awkward behavior it describes.
Light from the sun came through the tree at different angles and intensities at different times of day and illuminated different parts of the boy as he stood, sat, inclined, or lay on the room's carpet, stretching and holding positions.
Past the southern exposure's tree were the foreshortened roofs of neighborhood homes and the fire hydrant and street sign of the cross street and the forty-eight identical roofs of a low-income housing development beyond the cross street, and, past the development, just at the horizon, the edges of the verdant cornfields that began at the city limits.
There are a few other examples of Wallace stretching out the sentences like taffy, usually moments when he wants to set cold omniscience aside for a moment and zoom in on a character's nature. (My favorite ends with "a sort of dutiful tedium of energy and time and the will to forge on in the face of despair.") None of which proves that Wallace had a strong stylistic interest in the King James Bible—run-on sentences can also just be a way for a writer to work up a head of steam. But "Backbone" is unquestionably a God-concerned story: The case study references religious mystics who performed various acts of bodily abuses on themselves as a way of acting out God's will, and one of the questions "Backbone" opens is whether this sort of extreme action is a clinical or a spiritual act.
The narrator says "the boy had no conscious wish to 'transcend' anything," but he's not denying that the action has had a spiritual impulse. The story needs those crazed mystics to give a flesh-and-blood counterbalance the dry bones of his medical condition. And while nobody gets Jesus in the story, Wallace understands how old-fashioned Biblical syntax can be a source of uplift. The boy's father keeps a list of inspirational lines taped to the bathroom mirror, including: "The coward flees even when no man pursueth.—The Bible" That's slightly off from the King James Version's translation of Proverbs 28:1 ("The wicked flee when no man pursueth"). But considering how far the KJV has had to travel through naturalism and realism and modernism and postmodernism and all the rest, it's close enough.
You know what book surprised me with its very Old Testament styled cadences? "The Wizard of Oz." Very "And then Dorothy scaled the wall, and it was hard. But lo she perched at its peak and scouted the kingdom before her, and it was good." Or "The lion cowered in the corner, shaking with fear, then summoned his courage and smote his enemy." Stuff like that. Very not dramatic, which perhaps makes some sense for a series stretched out over 3000 books (OK, 13 or whatever).


2.0.0: Woohoo to Version Two!
Well it's been a long journey, but BioShip has made it to Version 2! And the fully legit way of consistent updates - not just by bumping the version prematurely to look better or newer, lol. Well, I guess what this means is there aren't any major features added to the theme itself, but the focus has been on greater stability and optimization for a while now... and this approach will continue.
The discerning will recognize this is actually really good news for the project, because it means less and less bugs, not more bugs or bloat introduced as features are added. Besides, it already has way more included than most themes or frameworks ever will. The flexibility is there baked in from the start, and while it's been a bumpy road to get it all working, it's now a pretty smooth ride. And of course, I welcome any feedback to make it even smoother.
That said, if you are looking for those extra features (that you might expect from a theme but don't really belong there)... you won't be disappointed either. As I've started releasing them as separate plugins instead. Partly because they do things that are not really "theme territory"... but mostly because I have a lot of cool plugin ideas gathering virtual dust on my hard drive that I know people will find useful.
As such I am doing a plugin giveaway as of right now (December 2016), challenging myself to release 10 Plugins in 10 Weeks... or more! Plus, launching a solutions forum to go with them (with a BioShip support and features section there)... welcoming new users and contributors of any experience level. The first plugin release is somewhat of an extension for BioShip (but can be used with any theme, which is why it's a plugin) - and that is Content Sidebars, for adding extra flexible widget areas to your content and surrounds.


Thanks to Fusion Investment funding I will be co-running with Dr Paul Stapleton (QUB) a symposium exploring Interagency in Technologically-Mediated Performance. Despite a growing community of people creating digital musical instruments and a growing associated academic field, there has been little recognition within these communities of the associated approaches to a Philosophy of Technology that examines human-technology interactions from a variety of social, political and philosophical perspectives.
This event will bring together researchers and industry representatives from the fields of Philosophy of Technology and Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) design to establish an overview of best practice of new musical instrument creation and set out a road map for future research in this area. The symposium will feature talks by five keynote speakers that are all internationally recognised experts in their fields. Workshop and discussion will form a large part of the symposium in order to have time to fully establish an overview of best practice and to define the future research agenda.
The symposium will run 29th and 30th of January 2016. There will soon be a call for attendance, places will be limited so sign up quick if you are interested. There will also be a short concert on Friday 29th Jan from 17:30- 18:30 attendance for this is open to everybody.


Paul Harrison busts the myths about networking meetings.
If you're in business, you are familiar with networking to at least some extent. If you are in sales, marketing or in a senior position, then you have probably attended a few events.
Networking is something HUGELY beneficial to people building businesses and also looking to connect for new business purposes but even with all the benefits of going along to one of these events, meeting new people and listening to (hopefully) interesting speakers talk about their topic of choice, there are still a lot of people who seem slightly intimidated by the prospect of attending.
I believe the reason for this is because they don't want to be "sold to" by other attendees or be deemed as "sales people" trying to push their own interests onto others. The solution to this is very straight forward: none of the attendees are there to sell to other attendees. They are there to sell to the other attendee's networks. This is vitally important to understand.
Attending a meeting like this should connect you with other business people who can then introduce potential clients to you — even with an endorsement… Now that is a much easier potential client than going out and cold calling, isn't it?
Two brilliant events for SA Networking are The Breakfast Indaba Putney and The South African Business Club event on 1 February (http://www.sabusinessclub.com). You can buy tickets on www.SATICKETS.co.uk. See you there.

Four decades ago, NASA launched two robotic spacecraft, Voyagers 1 and 2, on a mission to cruise by the giant planets of the outer solar system on sweeping trajectories that would ultimately carry them far beyond.
Today, both spacecraft are still functioning, sending back data from the cold, dark reaches of the frontier of interstellar space. Voyager 2 is over 10.6 billion miles from the sun, 115 times farther than Earth. Voyager 1 is almost 13 billion miles out—a distance that takes radio signals, traveling at the speed of light, over 19 hours to traverse!
The Voyagers were launched in 1977—Voyager 1 on September 5 and Voyager 2 on August 20, so their 40th anniversaries in space are close at hand.
Voyager 1's objective was to explore Jupiter and Saturn, and gave us our first detailed images of Jupiter's four large Galilean moons. It also made a close flyby of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, giving us our first look at the moon's cold, thick, hydrocarbon-smog-laced atmosphere.
Voyager 2 also passed by Jupiter and Saturn, before cruising onward to the cold and mysterious "ice giant" worlds Uranus and Neptune—which still have not been visited by any other spacecraft.
Upon completion of their primary missions, both Voyagers coasted onward to ever greater distances, having achieved escape velocity from the sun's gravitation. And though they spent their earliest years of exploration traveling within the orbital plane of the solar system's planets, the Voyagers' final planetary encounters flung them in different directions. Voyager 1 is heading northward away from the plane of the solar system while Voyager 2 is going south.
Since leaving the realm of planets, the Voyagers have been monitoring the physical conditions within the heliosphere, the extended "bubble" of gas, plasma, and magnetic fields emanating from the sun and blowing outward into space, called the solar wind. The goal of this extended phase of the Voyagers' mission was to find the boundary between the solar wind's influence and the environment of interstellar space: the heliopause.
From Earth, we cannot detect that boundary—much in the way that you cannot "see" the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space by standing on the ground and looking up. To find where space beings, you must send up a rocket to measure the pressure and temperature of the air.
Voyager 1's measurements of the solar wind tell us that in August 2012, it did in fact cross the heliopause and enter the frontier of interstellar space, becoming the first human artifact to do so.
Voyager 2 has not yet crossed the heliopause in the direction it is traveling, but when it does, researchers will receive data from two different points in the interstellar realm, which will offer a more detailed picture of the nature of space beyond the influence of the sun.
How have these robotic explorers lasted so long? What machinery in your experience can last forty years with no maintenance, refueling, or recharging?
The Voyagers had to last at least through their primary missions, which in Voyager 2's case included encounters with four giant planets over a 10-year period. Engineers had to anticipate the harsh conditions their robots might encounter, and plan accordingly—even though the actual conditions around the target planets and in the vast stretches of space between them were largely unknown.
The Voyagers' sensitive equipment and computer systems are heavily shielded against micrometeorite impacts and high-energy radiation. Critical systems were given multiple redundant backups, so that if a piece of equipment fails a backup duplicate will kick in to replace it.
As for their power supplies, the Voyagers are each equipped with three radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which generate electricity from heat produced by the decay of Plutonium-238. At the time of launch each trio of generators produced 470 Watts, though the output has declined steadily as the Plutonium decays. It is expected that by sometime between 2025 and 2030, power will have fallen below the level needed to run any of the Voyagers' instruments.
Messengers for ET? Good idea?
Another ride-a-long feature on each Voyager is the "Golden Record," a gold-plated analog phonograph record carrying information about our world and species in a set of selected sounds and images. The records are intended as combination time capsules and greeting cards, in the event that either spacecraft is recovered by an intelligent alien civilization who can follow the graphical instructions inscribed on the record covers and extract the information on the disks.
There are some who feel it may not be a good idea to randomly fling information of our existence and location into space for any would-be aliens to find--for how could we possibly know what those aliens are like, and what they would do with the information?
Still, the chances of recovery of the tiny, soon-to-be-derelict spacecraft in the vast expanse of interstellar space is exceedingly small, and neither are heading toward any star systems in the near or extended future. Voyager 1 is presently heading in the general direction of a star called Gliese 445, which it will pass within 1.6 light years of in about 40,000 years.
In the meantime, Voyagers 1 and 2 should continue to transmit home their measurements from the interstellar frontier, so may yet teach us a thing or two about our place in the cosmos.

11.5.3.1 Copeland v. Beard
115 So. 389, 217 Ala. 216 - 1928
MARVIN COPELAND
B.V. BEARD.
(6 Div. 986.)
[216] Supreme Court of Alabama. Jan. 26, 1928.
[217] Certiorari to Court of Appeals.
Suit by Mrs. B. V. Beard against Marvin Copeland. Judgment for plaintiff was affirmed by the Court of Appeals (115 So. 385), and defendant petitions for certiorari to review the judgment of the Court of Appeals. Writ granted. Judgment reversed, and case remanded.
T. B. Ward and J. M. Ward, both of Tuscaloosa, for appellant.
Where a party bas made a contract with another, whereby he assumes and agrees to pay the debt of said person to some stranger or third person, such contract may be rescinded at any time before such third person or stranger accepts the contract or asserts his rights thereunder. Clark & Co. v. Nelson, 216 Ala. 199, 112 So. 819; Georgia Home Ins. Co. V. Boykins, 137 Ala. 350, 34 So. 1012; Pugh Stone Co. v. Barnes, 108 Ala. 167, 19 So. 370; Carver V. Eads, 65 Ala. 190; 21 A. L. R. 462, note. Promisor may interpose, as against promisee's creditor, for whose benefit the contract was made, any defense available as between himself and the promisee, where the creditor beneficiary has not aeted in good faith upon the promise so as to alter his position. Clark & Co. v. Nelson, supra.
H. A. & D. K. ,Tones, of Tuscaloosa, for appellee.
Brief did not reach the Reporter.
BOULDIN, J. Taking the facts from the findings of the Court of Appeals, the essential question here for review on certiorari may be briefly stated thus: Where a debtor sells and conveys real and personal property, upon consideration in part that the purchaser shall assume and pay specified debts of the vendor, and, on the same day, before the creditors for whose benefit the promise is made have assented thereto, the purchaser resells and conveys the property upon consideration in part that the subpurchaser shall assume and pay the same indebtedness, and the original vendor debtor thereupon releases the original purchaser from his promise to pay, can such creditor thereafter maintain an action of assumpsit against the original purchaser?
In Clark v. Nelson, 216 Ala. 199, 112 So. 819, this court, after a review of the authorities, approved the general statement of the doctrine in cases of rescission by Mr. Williston:
"The creditor's right is purely derivative, and, if the debtor no longer has a right of action against the promisor, the creditor can have none." 1 Williston on Contracts, § 397.
After quoting from our own cases, it was said:
"We think, therefore, this court is definitely committed to the doctrine that the promisor may interpose any defense that was permissible as between himself and the original debtor, including, of course, mutual rescission of the contract so long as the creditor had not acted in good faith upon the promise so as to alter his [218] position." Clark v. Nelson, 216 Ala. 199, 112 So. 821.
The Court of Appeals takes the view that the case at bar is to be differentiated from the Nelson Case, saying (115 So. 385):
"The recent case of Clark & Co. v. Nelson, 216 Ala. 199, 112 So. 819, is based upon the rescission of the contract, before acceptance by the debtor, thereby placing the parties in statu quo. There is a vast difference between a rescission, where the property transferred as the consideration for the agreement to pay a creditor is reconveyed to the contracting debtor and a subsequent agreement to release a purchaser of the debtor's property who had agreed to pay a creditor in consideration of property transferred to him without a reconveyance of the property."
Is the distinction thus declared sound in principle?
The transaction between the debtor, his vendee, and the subvendee, whereby the latter purchased the property, assumed the obligation to pay creditors, and the debtor released the original promisor, was, as between them, a novation. It was supported by a valuable consideration, as in other cases of novation. All right of action in the promisee, the debtor, as against his promisor, the vendee, was released. Whether such release may be aptly called a rescission of the promise to pay creditors seems unimportant. As between the immediate parties to the transaction it had the same effect
When a debtor contracts with another, for a valuable consideration, to assume and pay his debt, the creditor has an election to accept or reject the new party as his debtor. He may ignore the offer and proceed to enforce all his remedies against the original debtor. Henry v. Murphy, 54 Ala. 246.
An election requires knowledge of the facts. So a suit against the original debtor without notice that another has assumed to pay it does not constitute an election to reject the agreement. Young v. Hawkins, 74 Ala. 370. An action against the promisor assuming to pay the debt is a sufficient acceptance—an election to affirm the contract made for the creditor's benefit. Carver v. Eads, 65 Ala. 191.
There is difference of view as to the status of the parties after acceptance of the agreement by the creditor. Some authorities hold that upon election to accept the benefits of the contract, he releases the original debtor. These cases proceed on idea that the contract made between the debtor and the assuming party, while binding between themselves, is, as to the creditor, an offer of novation. Several of our earlier cases quite clearly proceed on this view. The Nelson Case, in course of discussion, recognizes these decisions.
The other view is that by the contract wherein the debtor sells property in consideration that the purchaser assumes the payment of debt, the latter becomes, as between the immediate parties, the principal and the debtor a quasi surety, and the creditor, upon acceptance of the arrangement, may sue either or both. The latter view is distinctly held in People's Savings Bank v. Jordan, 200 Ala. 500, 76 So. 442; Tyson v. Austill, 168 Ala. 525, 53 So. 263; Moore v. First Nat. Bank of Florence, 139 Ala. 595, 60S6 36 So. 777.
This is the prevailing doctrine in other jurisdictions. 1 Williston on Contracts, § 393. While our cases involved directly conveyances by a mortgagor, the purchaser assuming the mortgage debt, no sound distinction exists between them and the instant case.
The question is here involved only incidentally in defining when the rights of the creditor to sue the promisor becomes fixed, and not subject to rescission or release. It is said the promisor and promisee may rescind at any time before the creditor alters his position. If bringing suit against the promisor releases the original debtor, this would clearly alter the creditor's position for the worse, if a right of rescission still exists. If such action does not release the original debtor, then the inquiry is, When is the creditor's position so altered that his rights become fixed and beyond the power of the original parties to rescind or release?
We now adopt the doctrine that by acceptance of the promise made for his benefit, and action thereon, the creditor does not release the original debtor, unless so stipulated in the contract and made known to the creditor.
Both parties invite the creditor to accept· the contract. The debtor has the benefit of the promise for his protection in case he is still required to pay. The creditor being thus invited to avail himself of the contract, we think no fair intendment can be indulged that he shall thereby take the hazard of losing his debt, if the promise so recommended proves unavailing.
Coming then to the question of when the creditor's right of action against the promisor becomes fixed, we think it properly determinable on the basic law of contracts. So long as the contract to assume is between the debtor and his promisor only, the creditor is not a party thereto. He can become so only by his consent. At the same time, the contract, in the nature of it, is an open offer to the creditor. His assent while the offer is open is all that is required. When the minds of all parties consent to the same thing at the same time, and such consent is communicated between them, the contract is complete.
Consent in such case may be proven in the same manner as in other contracts. The consideration for the promise passing between promisor and promisee is also consideration for the completed contract between all [219] parties. The tripartite contract being consummated, it cannot be rescinded without the consent of all. It follows that the creditor's assent to the contract, made known to the promisor, who is expected to pay, is the only change of position required. But the assent must be to a promise in force at tile time the right of contract is the right to rescind or modify.
The principle of the Nelson Case, supra, is applicable to the present case. The same doctrine that the creditor must have assented while the promise remained in force is recognized in Farrell v. Anderson, 211 Ala. 239, 100 So. 205, and Moore v. First Nat. Bank of Florence, 139 Ala. 595, 606, 36 So. 777.
The case of Biddle v. Pugh, 59 N. J. Eq. 480, 45 A. 626, involved the right of the mortgagee to hold the vendee of a mortgagor after a sale to a subvendee. Successive vendees had, as between themselves and their immediate grantors, assumed the payment of the mortgage debt. It was declared that the mortgagee's "right is subject to such action as the mortgagor and purchaser may have taken to modify or rescind the contract."The first purchaser was held still bound because the mortgagor had never released him from his obligation. See, also, note 21 A. L. R. 462 et seq.
The Court of Appeals appears to hold the status quo as to ownership of the property must be restored. The ownership of the property is of no concern to the creditor except as it may affect his power to collect his debt. This turns upon an issue of fraud vel non in the transaction, as defined in the law of fraudulent conveyances. All participants in a fraud may be held to account in a proper form of action.
No such question is presented here. So far as appears, the original debtor and the subvendee, whose promise is still open to the plaintiff creditor, are solvent, able, and ready to pay the, demand. It is a case of election to sue the vendee, who, before any acceptance of his promise, conveyed the property to another, who assumed the payment of plaintiff's demand, and after the promise had released defendant from the obligation.
Writ of certiorari granted; reversed and remanded.
All the Justices concur.

Victoria Memorial.
Victoria Memorial Hall is a tremendous 103 metres long, 56 metres high and is topped by a 5 metre tall bronze statue of Victory, which rotates in the wind. Fondly known as "The Pride of Kolkata", it is a magnificent sight framed by vast, beautiful gardens. Spectacular on the outside, it also houses an impressive collection of weapons, maps, coins, stamps, artefacts and textiles, as well as portraits of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and Indian freedom fighters.
Distance from the hotel 2 kilometres
Driving time5 minutes
Howrah Bridge.
Kolkata's iconic cantilever bridge is a feat of engineering, with a suspended span of 457 metres and a total length of 705 metres between the banks of the Hooghly River. Built in 1943 to replace a pontoon bridge at the same location, the Howrah Bridge is the oldest bridge in Kolkata and the busiest cantilever bridge in the world; carrying an estimated 100,000 motor vehicles and 150,000 pedestrians each day.
Driving time15 minutes
St. Paul's Cathedral.
This is the largest cathedral in Kolkata. Built in 1847 for the ever increasing numbers of European Anglicans in the city at that time, St. Paul's is a fantastic example of Indo-Gothic architecture; a gothic style that was adapted to suit the climactic conditions of Kolkata. It was originally funded by ten pieces of silver sent by Queen Victoria and has been rebuilt twice, for somewhat more than ten pieces of silver, after suffering extensive earthquake damage. St. Paul's Cathedral boasts a library of some 8,000 texts. Church services are held there regularly and Christmas service is highly recommended.
The Indian Museum.
The Indian Museum is the earliest and largest museum in the Asia-Pacific region. It was originally conceived of by the members of the Asiatic Society as far back as 1796, as a repository for artefacts and as a centre for the dissemination of knowledge. The idea was deliberated until 1814, when the foundation stone was finally laid. As well as its rare collections of antiques, armour, ornaments, fabrics and paintings, The Indian Museum houses vast numbers of fossils and examples of taxidermy, tremendous skeletons and mummies.

Robert W. Jenson is one of the best theologians in the world today, and he may well be one of the finest theological thinkers that America has produced. Among his earlier, sadly neglected books is the hermeneutical work The Knowledge of Things Hoped For: The Sense of Theological Discourse (1969). Jenson concludes this book with a series of practical "exhortations" about how to speak of God (pp. 234-240).
Here is his first exhortation: "let us talk of God matter-of-factly." First of all, this means that we should avoid all talk of God as a spatially or metaphysically distant being—a God who is "out there" somewhere, or who is an immanent "ground" or "principle" of reality.
It also means that we should avoid a certain "christocentric" way of talking about God, in which "Jesus" becomes a supernatural being with no worldly matter-of-factness—like a pious but friendly ghost. An example of such a supernatural "Jesus," Jenson notes, is the "the spooky 'Jesus' who hangs about bothering people at their work" (or, we might add, the "Jesus" invoked by trendy "WWJD" slogans).
The point of all this is that God himself is a matter-of-fact being. He is not "out there" somewhere beyond the clouds; nor is he "in here" somewhere as a principle of goodwill; nor is he "with me" as a supernatural poltergeist. Rather God is the one who has acted in the man Jesus of Nazareth. God has identified his own being with the historical event of Jesus. And this means that we both can and must speak matter-of-factly about God—precisely by speaking of the man Jesus.


Having suffered the indignity of having to grow moustaches in November (Movember), quit the fags in October (Stoptober) and knock the booze on the head in July (Dry-ly), the squirrel population in Wivenhoe is now being forced to go on an emergency diet as its weight spirals out of control following a particularly gluttonous Christmas period.
The problem has come to light as overweight squirrels have been causing havoc falling through windows, knocking trees over, snapping branches and wobbling around the woods like fury Weebles jacked up on sherbet.
The Environment Agency has been working with concerned volunteers to distribute special emergency weight reduction food parcels to our furry friends consisting of a delicious yet healthy acorn-flavoured shake that they have twice a day instead of a meal, before tucking into regular Findus Crispy pancakes and Vienettas at tea time. It's hoped that by losing weight they will destroy less trees, resulting in Wivenhoe Woods native elks, beavers and bears once again returning to their habitat.


Business Law - What is the charter document that creates a partnership called?
For a general partnership, the charter document which essentially creates the partnership is generally called a statement of partnership. For limited partnerships, this document is generally known as the certificate of limited partnership. By way of comparison, the document that creates a corporation is generally called the articles of incorporation or the certificate of incorporation, and the document which creates an LLC is similarly generally called the articles of organization or the certificate of organization.

Christopher Hitchens Blames Torture on Common Americans, Demands 'Tongue' From Andrew Sullivan
By Russell Berman
A gaggle of prominent scribes including Tina Brown, Harold Evans, and Politico's Mike Allen got a scare Saturday night when they found themselves briefly trapped in an elevator struggling to climb seven floors to Slate's star-studded party at the D.C. apartment of Christopher Hitchens. ("The big politician from Memphis got in," Evans later explained, referring to Representative Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat. "And that was too much.") Allen, talking to us and later writing in his daily Playbook, credited Evans and Michael Tomasky with prying open the doors "through sheer brawn." But that night it was Hitchens himself, naturally, who got the most worked up.
Inside, Hitchens opined on whether the Obama administration should answers calls from the left to prosecute Bush administration officials for illegal interrogation of prisoners: "As long as it's agreed that these steps were taken in response to public demand," he began, only to be interrupted by Andrew Sullivan, who greeted him with a hug and a kiss. "I want tongue. Give me tongue," Hitchens implored, to no avail. "No, I'm not giving you tongue," Sullivan replied, feigning astonishment. "Let the record show: Sullivan wouldn't give tongue," Hitchens replied. ("He's gayer than I am!" Sullivan later told us.)
Continuing his discourse on torture policy, Hitchens then claimed that the Bush administration's commitment to harsh interrogation techniques, which he considers torture, derived from a desire among Americans for a more "ruthless" government. "It has to be admitted by every American that in the majority after the 9/11 Commission, people wanted an administration that was much more ruthless than the one they'd had on September the 10th," he said.
"I know something for a sure thing," Hitchens continued. "The demand for torture and other methods I would describe as illegal, the demand to go outside the Geneva conventions — all this came from below. What everyone wants to say is this came from a small clique around the vice-president. It's not educational. It doesn't enlighten anyone to behave as if that were true. This is our society wanting and demanding harsh measures." Therefore, he went on, the demand for prosecution or other measures against Bush administration officials would likewise have to come from below, via the grassroots. "Otherwise it's just vengeful, I suppose, and partisan."

I recently read an article that talked about food and health and it intrigued me to look into this further. First I will talk about spices that you may already have, or you should think about buying and incorporating into your diet. If you are not sure how to use these spices, a good resource on how to incorporate them is a book called The Spice Companion by author Lior Lev Sercarz.
The first one I will discuss is celery seed. I am a big fan of this in potato salad, but it also works well in vinaigrettes, brines and with poached white fish. Celery seed has been used as a cold remedy for thousands of years, but more recently it has been used to treat gout, arthritis, muscle spasms and high blood pressure. Celery seed also can work as a diuretic. It has some natural salt, so be cautious when seasoning the dish.
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties as well as anti-cancer and anti-oxidant properties. Turmeric blends well with fruit, especially in smoothies and citrus vinaigrettes. It also pairs well with cauliflower, potatoes and hearty vegetables.
One of my favorite spices is cumin. Cumin is a very complex spice with many flavor profiles. It has an earthy flavor with hints of nuts and pepper. Cumin has the ability to aid in digestion, which can lead to a reduction of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Cumin is very high in iron, which helps people with anemia and helps promote growth in children. Cumin pairs well with meat as in chili, with roasted vegetables and braised or broiled poultry and is a great spice to use with lamb.
Cinnamon, not one of my favorite spices, is known to be an anti-oxidant. Anti-oxidants prevent or delay certain cell damage. Other diseases it can affect include diabetes, as well as fighting viruses, which is good since antibiotics do nothing against viruses, and cinnamon may work to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Although many people think of cinnamon for desserts, it pairs well with savory foods as well. The pairing works especially well with roasted items like lamb, tagine, squash and surprisingly it works in tomato sauce.
Aleppo peppers help with vision and bone health due to the high vitamin A content. The peppers are a good source of anti-oxidants, which work against many chronic diseases. Additionally, they help with digestion and work to improve the immune system. This spice works very well on pizza, especially ones with olive. Aleppo peppers also flavor fish, guacamole and pasta, and if your tastes go towards flavorful desserts, pair it with chocolate chip cookies or other chocolate confectionaries. The Aleppo pepper is named for the city of Aleppo in Syria and they have mild to moderate heat, but great undertones of fruit.
The last spice I will discuss is green cardamom. This spice is known to positively affect high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer and digestive issues. Cardamom seeds come in pods, which have to be opened to release the seeds. The seeds then should be ground before adding to dishes. Ground cardamom is available, and while not as fresh as making your own, is much more convenient. The flavor of cardamom is very complex. It contains flavor profiles including pepper, citrus, sweetness and floral. The ground cardamom is often added to iced tea as well as chicken soup. It also pairs well with rice pilaf, apple sauce and vanilla or chocolate pudding.
Some other well-known spices that can make you healthier include rosemary, which can affect mental focus and fight foodborne bacteria. Saffron is known to improve people's mood, but is very expensive. Sage is known to improve memory and can soothe sore throats.
There are many spice shops to make sure you are getting the freshest spices. As the spices age they lose some of their healing properties so you should purchase in small quantities if possible. They should be stored in a dry cool place, never in cold storage such as the refrigerator or freezer; should never be stored by sunlight, humidity or heat; and should be stored in airtight containers and replaced after one year.
Next month in part two of this article I will discuss foods that help improve your health.

When you first opened your doors, you needed to get your small business online as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Your basic internet service plan probably included a wireless router that connected a few computers to the Internet. That simple setup was enough to get your employees communicating with clients and partners, and it supported your business well enough—at first.
But simply having an online presence, sending and receiving email, is no longer enough as you expand and compete in today's mobile environment. Small business owners are increasingly using smart phones and tablets for business purposes, and beginning to embrace technologies like mobile, cloud and collaboration applications to increase business efficiency and customer engagement.
Small businesses and their employees need secure and reliable access to business apps at the highest speeds and quality possible, regardless of whether they are in their shop or working with a client, or which device they are using.
Recent studies show that 69% of small businesses that invest in technology are managing their costs better, and are more efficient and productive. 43% are using a smartphone as the primary device to run their operations and 65% are conducting back office work including bookkeeping and accounting with cloud-based apps.. According to BizTech magazine 67% of small businesses were using tablets by the end of 2016, compared 58% in 2015.
Small businesses need a fast, reliable and cost-effective business-grade wireless solution that can easily handle any business application and a growing number of mobile users, offers built-in security and is easy to set-up and manage.
The HPE OfficeConnect OC20 APs offers small businesses a fast, simple and business-grade Wi-Fi solution that is easy to set-up and manage without technical expertise. Using an intuitive mobile application customers can get their network up and running in less than two minutes and remotely monitor their network at a glance.
