Legal IT News: Wilson Legal, Linex, Thomson Reuters, Morae Legal, Herbert Smith Freehills + more
The past week has seen Wilson Legal Solutions announce that it is bolstering its fledgling London office with three hires as Linex Systems rebrands as Vable; Eclipse Legal Systems announces UCL Consultants as a new case management client and Thomson Reuters Legal publishes its ninth annual research survey among finance directors.
In the US, Jonathan Sachs, formerly with Kroll Ontrack, has joined Catalyst Repository Systems; Morae Legal has launched a new eDiscovery offering; and John F. Kennedy University has selected TutorPro's student technology portal.
Not to be forgotten, in Australia Herbert Smith Freehills has launched a new Alternative Legal Services centre in Melbourne.
Wilson Legal Solutions – a Pennsylvania-headquartered Thomson Reuters Elite 3E services partner – has bolstered its London team by three with the hire of former Intapp solutions engineer Daryl Quadros; former Aderant project manager Paul Steeples; and former DNE Resources director of sales Victoria Laliberte.
Quadros, who until 2013 was a senior consultant at Phoenix Business Solutions, joins as a senior technical consultant. Steeples, who before Aderant was a project manager at Atos Origin, joins as a senior project manager, while Laliberte will take on the role of sales executive, focusing on sales of the company's professional and technology consulting services and its Wilson Ideate software.
The London office, which opened in 2014, helps law firms and professional services organisations improve performance through the more effective use of practice management software and business intelligence.
Content automation platform Linex Systems has rebranded as Vable. Vable is said to signify a new era of innovation and growth for the company, following Linex' successful fundraising in May, when it closed out a $1m investment. The new funds have enabled the company to substantially increase its investment in technology and talent with the goal of bringing game changing technologies to market. Vable's clients include top UK and US law firms such as Linklaters, Allen & Overy, Baker & McKenzie, White & Case and Clifford Chance.
Eclipse is implementing its Proclaim Case Management Software solution at UCL Consultants, a wholly-owned subsidiary of University College London (UCL) and one of the UK's leading providers of academic consultancy services.
Offering a bespoke consultancy service, UCL Consultants handles a variety of projects for a range of clients – from small, single day projects, to large, milestone-focused multi-party projects. The team provides organisations with world-class expertise from over 6,000 academic staff across a wide range of disciplines, to help solve the many challenges faced by society and businesses today.
Roger de Montfort, managing director of UCL Consultants, said: "As a leading provider for academic consultancy services, we've seen a huge increase in business volume – so much so that we've over doubled in size in the last three years – and as a result, it became clear that we could benefit from enhanced automation of our processes."
Thomson Reuters Legal has conducted its ninth annual research survey among Top 100 law firms, in which law firm finance directors predict that technology will be one of the fastest-growing sectors in 2016, with 28% of respondents foreseeing a rapid growth in work from this sector.
"The technology industry in particular has seen massive investment in recent years which has propelled growth in the UK and we expect this trend to continue into the long-term," says Samantha Steer, director, large law segment for Thomson Reuters UK&I Legal business
This is set against a backdrop of wider fears among 24% of FDs that the current slowdown in M&A activity is now a major risk to law firm profitability.
The study – Threats to Profitability and Opportunities for Growth: A Survey Amongst the UK's Top 100 Law Firms – found that downward pressure on fees remains the biggest threat to the profitability of law firms, as it has since the recession, with around three quarters (72%) seeing this as high risk – up from 60% in 2010.
Cost over-runs on fixed fee work is the next biggest concern, with 40% citing this as a high risk to profitability. "Although firms have become much better at pricing their quotes for work on a fixed fee, finance departments are still wary about potential cost over-runs," said Steer.
Jonathan Sachs, a lawyer and former executive with Kroll Ontrack, has joined Catalyst as managing director for the East Coast, where he will lead regional sales and business development strategies and initiatives.
Sachs comes to Catalyst after more than 11 years in leadership roles at Kroll Ontrack. Most recently, he was director of strategic markets, where he created and executed strategy for engaging corporate and law firm clients, maintained responsibility for key strategic clients, and helped enhance the company's visibility through speaking and publishing.
"Jonathan brings a proven track record and experience as a seasoned e-discovery consultant and sales manager to the Catalyst team," said TJ Gill, Catalyst's vice president of sales. "We look forward to Jonathan's contribution to accelerating our current growth trajectory, but also his contribution to strategy and execution at Catalyst."
Morae Legal has launched a public utility cloud-based eDiscovery service bureau that will service the entire eDiscovery spectrum from collection to review to production.
To support its services, the Houston-headquartered company has partnered with three platform leaders: Relativity, Servient and Brainspace. As a Relativity partner, Morae Legal will solely use kCura's upcoming cloud product, RelativityOne.
"By deploying our service bureau platforms exclusively in a public utility cloud environment, we immediately realise and pass along the inherent economics, scale, security and speed," said Jeff Seymour, Morae Legal's president of information and discovery management. "We believe our service bureau offers clients a significant cost reduction, while providing a more powerful and capable solution supporting the most advanced analytics and processes."
John F. Kennedy University has selected TutorPro's student technology portal. The TutorPro LTECH portal is designed to support law students in the challenging task of getting workplace ready.
Core faculty member Juliet Jonas said: "The training obtained by way of the LTECH portal will make an immediate, positive impact on our students' confidence and competence with regard to technology. Even more importantly, the skills gained will make our students more attractive to potential employers."
Herbert Smith Freehills has announced the further expansion of its global Alternative Legal Services (ALT) business, with a new centre opening in Melbourne in November 2016. The new dedicated facility is the first of its kind to be opened and operated by a law firm in Australia.
The new centre is located on St Kilda Road and will initially be staffed by around 65 employees, including up to 50 fee earners. It follows the recent opening of an ALT office in Shanghai, also the first offering of its kind in China, and the opening of an ALT 'pop-up' in Perth in October 2015.
The firm's global ALT business combines legal expertise, process efficiency and client technology solutions to process high-volume or document-intensive work more efficiently and cost effectively for clients, complementing the high-end advice offered by the firm's lawyers from its existing Australian offices, and internationally.
Libby Jackson, Herbert Smith Freehills' global head of Alternative Legal Services, said: "By equipping these new teams in Melbourne and Shanghai with the technology and processes proven at our existing centres, we can offer clients a cost-effective way of tackling the labour-intensive elements of their projects, complementing the high-end advice offered by the firm's lawyers around the world."


A bright and spacious second floor apartment located just a few minutes walk away from New Malden Station and the High Street. The property is beautifully presented throughout and comprises a bright, good sized reception which opens into a separate, well fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar and access to a useful storage room; the bathroom has recently been renewed and there are also two good sized bedrooms. EPC rating E. The property would make a superb first time buy as well as a good rental investment and viewings are highly recommended.

Q: Angular velocity or frequency in an uniform circular motion? (for students of an high school withouts the calculus) In an uniform circular motion, we know that the angular velocity is:
$$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$$
and your measure is:
$$[\omega]=\frac{\text{rad}}{\text{s}}$$
i.e. revolutions per second (in Italian language giri al secondo).
Now the frequence $\nu$ is the number of cycles per second (in Italian language cicli al secondo),
$$\nu=\frac1T \iff [\nu]=\frac{1\, \text{cycles}}{1\, \text s}$$
with the unit of measure of $\nu$ is $1/\text{s}=\text{Hz}$.
But into my textbook the instantaneous angular velocity $\omega$, where in the SI it is measured in radians per second ($\text{rad/s}= \text{s}^{-1}$), because the $\text{rad}$ it is not a true unit of measure. There is written also this:

In the unit SI it is measures in $\text{rad/s}= \text{s}^{-1}$.

My question is:

Doesn't this create confusion between angular velocity and frequency in terms of units of measurement? When revolutions per minute are given in an exercise, are we considering an angular velocity or a frequency?

In this exercise, for example, it is used

the frequence $\nu=f$ and not $\omega$. But in another exercise it is taken, instead like the $\omega$ and not as the frequence $\nu=f$. See the image,

Being true that $$\omega=2\pi\nu\equiv 2\pi f$$
but...

is there a trick or expedient to tell if it's angular velocity or frequency?

A: Your book uses the following relation
$$\omega = \frac{d \theta}{dt}$$
One can write ds element as $ds = Rd\theta$ where this becomes
$$\omega = \frac{1}{R}\frac{ds}{dt}$$
So it's in $s^{-1}$ units. It's because radian is a dimensionless unit in SI thus rad/s is equivalent to $1/s$. Frequency $f$ or $\nu$ are in units of $1/s$ and period $T$ is in second. In practice $rad/s$ is used for angular frequency and $1/s$ is for normal frequencies not for angular frequencies. I think rad term was omitted with the formulation of quantum mechanics. For instance $E = hf$, energy is in eV or in J and frequency is in Hertz thus planck constant is in $J\cdot s$ but h-bar (reduced planck constant) is expressed in units of $J\cdot s /rad$

A: It should not create confusion because a magnitude has some units associated to it, but the inverse is not always true, so it can be dangerous to think it that way.
In other words, the units can give you clues of what it is, but it is not the only thing you should look at.
For example, energy is measured in "joules", $1\text J=1\text N\cdot 1\text m$, but on the other hand, torque has also units of $\text N\, \text m$. No one would ever think of adding energy and torque; in fact, torque is a vector and energy is a scalar...
So units must not be our only consideration.
It's true that the fact that radians are a "ghost unit" is misleading. Then, there's this truly bad habit of the physicists being lazy (me included, of course). Physicists usually work with $\omega$ quite more often than with the "actual" frequency... so they've ended up calling it frequency as well.
Nevertheless, the unit for "real" frequency has a special name: Hertzs (Hz). So in sum,

Normally, $\text s^{-1}$ refers to $\omega$, while $\text{Hz}$ refers to $\nu$.

This, however, is not an absolute truth, each author can have his own criteria.
As I see it, if they just say "frequency", you should stick to the literal meaning and they could not punish you. Especially, when it comes to official exams and all that.
...Unless there's something in the further development that reveals it was actually $\omega$, you know, it's usually relying on the logic and the context...

A: The circumference of a circle radius $r$ is $2\pi r$.
So if the circle rotates at $f$ revolution per second, a point on the cirumference moves a distance $2\pi r f$ in one second, so its velocity is $2\pi r f$.
If we measure the rotation speed as $\omega$ radians per second, a point on the circumference moves a distance $r\omega$ in one second.
Since other formulas for circular motion are also simpler when measuring angular velocity in radians/sec, a good way to avoid confusion is to convert other units (for example revolutions per minute) into radians/sec at the start of the calculations.
When using calculus, all the formulas use angles measured in radians, not revolutions or degrees, so it is better to use radians right from the start.

A: I think it should also be pointed out that
angular velocity is what is known as a vector which means it has both magnitude and direction. Your equation for instantaneous angular velocity, should really be expressed with a a unit vector so that
$$\vec \omega = \frac{ \Delta \theta}{ \Delta t} \hat u$$
where the unit vector $\hat u$ points in the direction of the axis of rotation. A lot of other physicists use velocity in non-vector form too. That is technically incorrect.
You can compare angular frequency and angular velocity in the same way you compare speed and velocity. Angular frequency is the magnitude of angular velocity which is a vector.
Angular velocity is a measure of how fast the angular position of an object changes with time, relative to some point in space.
Angular frequency or angular speed is a scalar measure of this rotation rate without reference to a particular point in space or orientation.

Doesn't this create confusion between angular velocity and frequency in terms of units of measurement? When revolutions per minute are given in an exercise, are we considering an angular velocity or a frequency?

Angular velocity and angular frequency can be used to both explain the same thing. Remember that the prior is a vector and the latter is a scalar.
Frequency will be given with units $s^{-1}$ or $Hz$ "Hertz" or cycles $s^{-1}$ or per minute etc., and whenever you are dealing with angular velocity/angular frequency you will see $rad \ s^{-1}$. i.e., look for "rad".

is there a trick or expedient to tell if it's angular velocity or frequency?

One is a vector and the other is a scalar. Apart from that, see the other answers and your intuition and experience in the future will make you more comfortable with such terms.

Labour's green paper on violence against women also falls short
Lisa Longstaff, Women Against Rape
Updated: 1:43 PM May 19, 2021
Women Against Rape, protesting in Parliament Square - Credit: Women Against Rape
Labour wants to put violence against women and girls at the top of its agenda. But the proposals in its green paper are a mixed bag.
We welcome the recognition that financial independence is the first step to escaping an abuser. The abolition of the two-child limit for universal credit claimants would promote this, but it is unclear whether the money for the child would always be paid to the primary carer, overwhelmingly the mother.
The proposal to end the presumption of child contact for violent men which endangers thousands of children and women every year, is a crucial safety measure the government refused to include in the Domestic Abuse Bill, despite pressure from women's organisations such as ours. But the six-month temporary leave to remain for immigrant victims who are banned from claiming public funds is not enough to end the racism this rule is based on.
Women Against Rape - Credit: Women Against Rape
Other measures, like making misogyny a hate crime, toughening sentences and outlawing street harassment, avoid the central question of how the rape law is applied.
The police and Crown Prosecution Service have effectively decriminalised rape, investigating the woman not her attacker, trawling through her social media, and abolishing specialist police Sapphire units. More prosecutions are closed and 44% of victims now drop out in the years waiting for trial.
While rape convictions have plummeted to 1.4%, the prosecution of victims has risen: at least 200 victims were prosecuted between 2008 and 2018.
We brought cases of rape victims accused of lying and charged with perverting the course of justice to Keir Starmer when he was DPP. He refused to act.
The green paper doesn't deal with that either. So women will continue to be to punished for reporting, either by having their children removed or being imprisoned.
The Lammy Review on racism in the justice system exposed how men of colour are significantly more likely to be charged and convicted for rape and domestic violence. But the proposal, which Lammy himself has endorsed, to have life sentences without parole like in the US takes no account of this racism. This is akin to the death penalty which the UK has stood against up to now.
Labour's endorsement of Tory plans to keep more victims out of court by using pre-recorded video cross examination, and their lack of opposition to the public being excluded from more cases is frightening. Given that public scrutiny of rape trials is crucial to winning any justice for women, this would be truly catastrophic.
It is also worrying that Labour may want to include some of its proposals into the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and whip its MPs to drop their opposition to a Tory Bill which needs to be scrapped.
Women are pouring out another level of truth.
"One woman every week is coming forward to report their partner in the police is seriously abusing them or their children," according to Channel 4 News. Victims described on Radio 4 that police colleagues refused to prosecute. Women went to every authority for help including MPs. None would act. Former senior officers admit that violent police are a significant minority. Abusers who want power and control join the police. One said he could do anything, and threatened to have her child removed if she complained - what victims tell us all the time.
How can we expect more convictions when police abusers are likely to protect other abusers? The Police Bill will reinforce this power.

Looking at this further, I have realised that the preceding paragraph about underflow should not have MX shading. It derives from C99 7.12.1, not from Annex F, and so is not conditional on IEC 60559 Floating-Point.
(and this one correctly does not have MX shading on the preceding paragraph).
In both places the MXX shaded text should just be joined to the preceding unshaded paragraph.

Everything You Need to Know About Climate Change
Daniel Hall 30/11/2022
Climate change is one of the most important issues facing our planet today.
It is a global problem that requires a collective effort to solve. Climate change refers to a broad array of environmental degradation that is predicted to result from increasing levels of atmospheric CO2, including global warming, alterations in precipitation, sea level changes, and more extreme weather events. Here is everything you need to know about climate change.
1. Climate Change is Real and it's Happening Right Now
There is overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change is real and is caused by human activity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is the world's leading scientific body on the issue, has concluded that there is a more than 95% chance that human activity is the main cause of climate change. You can use a Celsius to Fahrenheit calculator if you don't understand certain information regarding the temperature. Additionally, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has found that the Earth has been warming for more than 150 years, with 16 of the last 17 years being the warmest on record.
2. Climate Change is a Global Problem
Climate change is not just an issue for one country or region. It is a global problem that requires a global solution. The greenhouse gases that cause climate change are released into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and cause the Earth's temperature to rise. This rise in temperature leads to a host of problems, including more extreme weather events, sea level rise, and alterations in precipitation patterns. It's important to remember that everyone contributes to climate change, no matter where they live.
3. We Need to Take Action on Climate Change
If we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we need to take action to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. This means shifting to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, improving energy efficiency, and changing our transportation and land-use patterns. Individuals can also play a role in mitigating climate change by making more sustainable choices in their daily lives. Also, remember to take the time to vote for political candidates who have made fighting climate change a priority.
4. Climate Change Will Have Devastating Impacts
If we don't take action to mitigate climate change, the consequences will be catastrophic. We could see more extreme weather events, like hurricanes, floods, and droughts. Sea level rise could displace millions of people and make coastal areas uninhabitable. Changes in precipitation patterns could lead to severe drought in some regions and flooding in others. And all of this will happen against the backdrop of a slowly warming planet, which will have its own impacts, like making heat waves more frequent and more intense. It's crucial that we take action now to avoid these devastating impacts.
5. We Can Solve Climate Change
Despite the daunting challenges we face, it's important to remember that we can solve climate change. We have the technology and the know-how to transition to a low-carbon economy. What we need is the political will to make it happen. We need our leaders to take bold action to fight climate change. And we need each and every one of us to do our part to build a more sustainable future. Additionally, remember to support organizations that are fighting climate change. It's only through working together that we can hope to solve this global problem.
6. Climate Change is an Opportunity
While climate change presents a number of challenges, it also presents an opportunity. We have a chance to build a more sustainable future, one that is powered by clean energy and that relies on more efficient transportation and land-use patterns. We have a chance to create jobs in the growing renewable energy sector. We have a chance to improve our health by reducing air pollution. And we have a chance to leave a better world for future generations. But we need to act now if we want to seize this opportunity.

Today's vote presents yet another "crunch moment" in the long running Brexit saga. For those who have not been following in any great detail, this is Prime Minister Theresa May's big moment in the House of Commons, when she will attempt to get the deal she has agreed with the European Union through by way of parliamentary vote. This so called 'Exit Deal' does not set out the future trading relationship between the EU and UK in any detail, but simply agrees the terms on which the UK leaves – tidying up budgetary matters, the Northern Irish border question, the rights of EU citizens and so on. The detail of a trade deal will come later.
The vote is very significant because Parliament must approve the Exit Deal, otherwise it fails. While it was approved by the British Cabinet last November, ratification by Parliament is legally required. The problem is that there is essentially no chance that the Members of Parliament will vote to approve the deal today. In early December a groundswell of opposition to May's deal emerged amongst both Government and Opposition MPs. At the time Theresa May postponed the crucial vote in Westminster in the hope that she could pile pressure on MPs over the Christmas recess and avoid an embarrassing defeat for her government. This plan has clearly failed. The expected defeat of the Prime Minister's deal in Parliament today will plunge the UK into a further constitutional crisis. The degree of the crisis will, rather unusually, depend on the scale of her defeat. We anticipate it will be a heavy loss.
The magic number of a simple majority in the House of Commons is 320.
The UK Prime Minister's Conservative Party have 318 members. Previously over 100 members went on the record opposing May's Deal and 117 members vote No Confidence in May before Christmas which could also be taken as a proxy vote on the deal. While her campaign of terror (threatening a general election or No Brexit at all) may have clawed back some support, it is not nearly enough. The pro-deal Conservatives number roughly 230.
The opposition Labour Party has 257 members, and within its ranks, it is anticipated that they will vote in bloc against a deal as it neither satisfies the pro-European wing of the party nor the Eurosceptic wing.
The DUP, Unionist Northern Ireland party, have 10 members, and intend to vote against the deal.
The Scottish National Party, Liberal Democrat Party, Plaid Cymru and Green Party cumulatively have 52 members, all of whom will vote against the deal.
There are currently 8 "Independent" members who are a combination of members that have been kicked out of Labour or Conservative party for a variety of reasons and actual independents, with only 1 vote in favour of the deal within this group.
In a worst-case scenario, the majority against the deal could be as much as 226 MP's. 125 is the biggest loss ever imposed on a UK government so the severity of the loss is an important factor in the UK.
In short Theresa May has no chance of passing her deal, even if many of her Tory colleagues have had a change of heart in recent days. PM May's recent assurances on the Northern Ireland Backstops do not seem to have brought many Conservative dissenters back to her side.
Every MP has a vote and as we have seen in recent years, those who organise themselves effectively, like the European Reform Group (ERG), tend to have most clout. In recent weeks we have seen various coalitions of moderate Tories and Labour MPs coming together to defeat the Government on key amendments. It will be a similar disparate group which defeats May's Deal today. However, do not be fooled. Many of the same people will vote against the May Brexit Deal today, yet they will never align to support a constructive solution.
The temptation to try to have one's cake and eat it, has long been a feature of the Brexit debate in Parliament. The problem is that everyone has a penchant for a different type of cake. Some want the May Deal (remaining Cabinet Members); some a harder Brexit than May offers (ERG); some want a Norway + Deal, which effectively means staying in the Single Market and Customs Union (moderate Labour and some Tories); some simply want to have an election without any real plan (Corbynites). The likelihood of a majority forming for any solution after today's vote seems remote.
In terms of amendments, Hilary Benn has withdrawn an amendment that would seek to tie the UK to no exit from the EU without a deal. As a result, the one to watch is Amendment A from Labour front bench proposed by Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer and others. This seeks to rule out a 'No-Deal' departure, and criticises May's plan for not providing "a permanent UK-EU customs union and strong single market deal", which would harm business and could mean the Irish backstop coming into force.
Some of the protagonists in the Brexit story, other than the UK Prime Minister, will become more important in the days and weeks following the vote. It is important to understand their motivation and outlook.
Corbyn is a committed Eurosceptic who has opposed every step of EU integration and every treaty since before the UK joined in 1973. He now finds himself in the uncomfortable position of leading a Parliamentary party which is almost entirely opposed to Brexit and in favour of either a Norway + deal or a second referendum. Corbyn and his hard left, Marxist-sympathising Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell want neither. Corbyn gave a bizarre interview on the BBC last Sunday claiming he could deliver a Customs Union agreement which will allow the UK joint power with the EU to negotiate Free Trade Agreements. His fantasy position is almost as deluded as that of the extreme wing of the Tories. His default is to demand an election, with no view as to what happens afterwards, other than his replacing Theresa May in the top job. He is a major obstacle to finding a common position in Parliament on Brexit.
As Chairperson of the UK Parliament Exiting the EU Committee, he has led on much of the pragmatic research into the effect of a 'No Deal' exit on the UK. He is respected across the aisle and he may be able to lead some remain Conservative MP's to support a future bill that will instruct the UK government to extend seek an extension to Article 50 and ultimately limit the ability of the UK to leave the EU without a deal. Benn will want greater certainty of the UK's future relationship and supports EEA membership.
Many would say that Sajid Javid is "waiting in the long grass" for his shot at becoming PM. Javid was a supporter of the exit campaign and remains a committed Brexiteer. As Home Secretary, Javid now has oversight of the UK's immigration controls and has been attempting to position himself as tough on illegal immigration. Expect him to stay out of the limelight calling for her resignation but he will be showing strength and control by talking about Border Security with or without a Brexit Deal.
Gove was a central part of the leave campaign and famously sought to become PM in 2016. Gove seems to have changed tack since becoming Agriculture and Fisheries Secretary in DEFRA. He has been a surprising strong supporter of the PM's deal and so intends to stay in government with May. Any change from Gove after the vote will likely signal PM Mays demise on the horizon. He will also have a role in the vote on the 21 January.
Two former Brexit Sectaries and a former Northern Ireland First Minister have come together to "chuck the Backstop" as they believe it is corrupting a good Brexit for the UK and that the Backstop is unnecessary. This is a broad grouping with David Davis stating that the UK should not be worried about a WTO deal while Arlene Foster looks on nervously. The reality is that all three people have influence with the Parliament and the wider Brexit support base. They will be making noise in a triumphant manner after the vote as vindication for their hard-line positions to date. This will bolster their resolve over the next week or so. Arlene Foster is clearly acting against business interests in Northern Ireland.
The hard-line Brexit supporter exerts considerable power as Chairman of the ERG grouping in the Parliament and is something of a poster boy for 'No-Deal' exit cohorts. It is unlikely that he will call for the PM to resign however he will increase rhetoric of a UK exit on WTO terms. His language to date has been carefully crafted to suggest a WTO exit is a legitimate outcome and will find support for this proposition in some dark quarters of the Labour party and the DUP.
Morgan is the defacto leader of some 10 to 15 Conservative MP's that want the UK to remain in the EEA as a minimum. She has indicated that she will back PM May's deal rather that vote against the Party. She will be key in bringing the conversation towards an Article 50 extension request or EEA membership.
Barnier's job, as Chief EU negotiator with the UK is effectively complete in that he has delivered a deal which is solid from the EU's point of view and delivers on the key priorities. However, his role as counsel in Brussels and potential conciliator in London cannot be underestimated. His years of experience in French and EU politics will continue to be drawn on as crisis in the UK takes hold. Barnier still has his eye on a future senior role in the EU institutions and so is likely to continue to try to find agreement with the UK and be a good faith interlocutor. He has carried out the negotiations in a pragmatic and up front fashion, belying his national predilection to 'bash the Brits'.
President of the EU Commission, Jean Claude Juncker has been, in the main, more subtle in demonstrating his frustrations with the UK than his EU Council counterpart Donald Tusk. Juncker has more than 30 years under his belt as a Minister and Prime Minister in Luxembourg. Despite some media ridicule, he is a wily and skilled negotiator. Juncker will maintain absolute commitment to the integrity of the Single Market and will not cede ground to those who wish to leave the EU but avail of all of the benefits. He will however engage with the UK Government and Parliament to try to find compromises. He will be open to extending the Article 50 negotiating period in order to avoid a hard and destructive Brexit.
The German Chancellor's electoral woes have undoubtedly diminished her influence in Europe, yet she is still the most powerful leader at the EU table. She is emotionally and politically invested in the EU and like Juncker, will not countenance any erosion of the Single Market, despite the concerns of the powerful German car industry. However, the weakening German economy will ensure she is sharply aware of the risks of a hard Brexit and will continue to engage with the UK to try to find a solution. She has expressed unflinching solidarity with Ireland on the controversial Backstop, a position which will not change unless it alters in Dublin.
Leo Varadkar has cleverly and successfully ensured over the past 18 months that Ireland's priority of ensuring no hard border on the island of Ireland through the Backstop solution (effectively keeping Northern Ireland in the single market and customs union indefinitely) has become the EU's priority. Warnings that Ireland would be hung out by EU colleagues at the 11th hour in order to appease the British have not and will not materialise. However, the realisation is dawning in Dublin that the insistence on the Backstop could lead to a fate which is worse. If the Backstop looks likely to cause the UK to crash out with "No Deal" and no official transition period, the implications for Ireland are worse than any other EU country. Dublin will be staring down the barrel of a gun and the Irish Government may have to make difficult choices in March. Indeed, while the Opposition Fianna Fail party have supported Vardkar on the Backstop to date, the blame game will start in earnest if May's deal collapses and "No Deal" Brexit looms.
There is an expectation that once the vote in Westminster has concluded, the type of Brexit we can expect will become apparent. This clarity is wishful thinking and may in fact further paralyse the UK Parliament and lead to a 'No Deal' by accident Other than the fact that a full blown constitutional crisis will be underway, little is likely to change.
In the ordinary course of business, if a Prime Minister were to lose a vote of such fundamental magnitude, she would resign. If we have learned anything about Theresa May in the past 33 months, it is that she has considerable sticking power. She has no intention of resigning and so the UK will limp into an existential crisis with a lame duck Prime Minister. Her party cannot move to topple her, having held a very ill advised and ill-timed Confidence vote in December. That rash move, spearheaded by the ERG hard liners, prohibits another move against her leadership for 12 months. The only other way to remove her will be a motion of Confidence tabled by the Opposition in parliament. Jeremy Corbyn says he intends to do this in the days after the vote and he may find some minor Conservative rebel support for this However, such are the divisions between Labour and the Conservatives and such is the Tory fear of an election, this motion of confidence in Theresa May is likely to fail. There is a fair chance that the DUP would support a motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister, but they would undoubtedly support a Tory alternative for the PM job – possibly Boris Johnson or another hard line Brexiteer who has made overtures to the party in recent months.
Many in Labour and an increasing number of moderate Tories would like to see a second referendum occur. The main obstacle to this are the Leaders of the two main parties. Corbyn does not want a referendum because he tacitly supports Brexit. Theresa May has claimed that a fresh referendum would undermine democracy and thwart the will of the people. It is still difficult to see a majority in Parliament to force a second referendum, but it is not impossible that momentum would grow in the coming weeks. If Parliament were to propose a referendum there is no doubt that the EU would agree to extend the Article 50 timeframe. A more remote prospect is that Theresa May will seize the opportunity after her deal is rejected to put it up to Parliament by unilaterally declaring that she will hold a referendum on her Deal. This would be a surprising and bold move which would be out of character and is rather unlikely.
Jeremy Corbyn continuously talks about the need for an election. This is a ploy designed to conceal the absence of any credible position on Brexit. A general election is likely to deliver a very similar result to the 2017 General Election, according to ongoing opinion polls. Notwithstanding Corbyn's determination to force an election, he has no mechanism to trigger one. The Fixed Parliament Act requires a majority in Parliament to enable a general election. The entirety of the Conservative Party is opposed to an election, as is its coalition partner the Democratic Unionist Party. There is no majority for an election in Westminster.
Many on both sides of the house have presented a Norway + deal (remaining in the Single Market and Custom's Union) as the ultimate panacea. There are a number of problems with this. For those opposed to Brexit, like moderate Conservative MP Joe Johnson, who are voting against Theresa May's deal because it reduces the UK to a rule taker and leaves the country worse off than as an EU Member State, the Norway solution cannot work for all. To steal a phrase from Brexiteers, it would make the UK more of a "Vassel State" than the deal currently on the table. The UK would have all of the obligations and none of the decision-making rights of an EU member. It may be a solution acceptable to the Hilary Benn wing of Labour, but it is unclear that Jeremy Corbyn and his followers would stomach such an outcome. It would be difficult for cross party coalition to be found that would find a majority to deliver Norway + UK politics just doesn't work that way.
This is not an outcome in and of itself, but the chaos in Westminster suggests that the UK Government will request an extension of Article 50. Such an extension can only endure until July 2nd when the new European Parliament will be sworn in. It should be noted that extension will require the approval of the EU as well as the UK and agreement will only be forthcoming if some plan emerges from London. While the EU will want to facilitate the avoidance of a March 29th edge, there will need to be a convincing reason to draw out what has already been an excruciating process for all concerned.
The EU will only soften its position on the Backstop if Dublin requests it to do so. As the Irish Government has stepped up its planning for No Deal the stark reality of hard Brexit is really beginning to hit home. The impact on forecasted Irish GDP growth would be immense, with entire industries potentially wiped out. There is no doubt that the Government will keep events in Westminster under close review. If faced with the prospect of a 'No Deal' Brexit and the ensuing economic catastrophe, the Government may be forced to adopt a wording which fudges the permanence of the Backstop. This and is an outcome that the Government currently does not wish to countenance at present but it must be pragmatic in the long term or the effects of a no deal could plunge Ireland into a recession with the UK.
As one examines the alternatives, the likelihood of No Deal grows exponentially. There is a parliamentary majority in Westminster to block a 'No Deal' outcome, yet that majority is worthless in the absence of a majority to support an alternative. If no alternative can be found, which is agreeable to a majority in the House of Commons, crashing out without a deal becomes the default. It seems the most likely way to achieve enough consensus in the UK would be to have some softening of the language and perceived outcomes around the Backstop, but this is politically difficult for the Irish Government to agree to. In the absence of any change to the May Deal on this front, No Deal Brexit may become unavoidable.


If you've ever contemplated getting up at 3, 4, or 5 am only to brave large crowds to fight over scarce merchandise, well, think again. Instead of looking into census data this Thanksgiving, we thought we'd look at more "fun" data, specifically, Black Friday shopping habits– and whether or not they make sense.
Recently, several articles have talked about whether or not it's worth it to brave the early morning ritual, especially given the widespread use of online shopping and success of "Cyber Monday." Why go out when you can line up your shopping cart in your PJ's, and hit a button to order and send? Moreover, especially since the Great Recession, many of the best times to go seasonal shopping haven't been during Black Friday. Some years, when volume lags below expectations, retailers offer even bigger discounts later in the season. While it's impossible to know for sure when to get the best deals, there are a few things we do know.
First, I went online to several large retailers to see what sales they were promoting for the day. I found several items popular amongst multiple retailers, such as an iPad, Beats headphones, tv's, and an Xbox One. Prices were largely similar across retailers, and on average were discounted about 21-23% from regular prices. (Keep in mind these are on big ticket items- Beats headphones can be on sale for more than 50% off, but an Xbox One has a max savings of 17%. While that's still significant given the price of an Xbox, it is likely that smaller-ticket items will have less than 20% savings.) IBM reports that last year the average amount spent on Black Friday was $120 ($200 for consumer electronics) — meaning a typical shopper saved approximately $25 according based on our estimate of average Black Friday discounts.
But what about those things that detract from Black Friday– how do you account for the "cost" of going? The answer to an economist may be obvious, but to others, probably not: your time, in the classical sense, is worth money. Every minute you spend shopping, watching tv, or generally spending your leisure time, you are not spending time on work. In theory, the time you don't spend on work is costing you the money you could be making if you were working. Hence, time is money. Frankly, however, our behavior doesn't seem to to imply that people believe their time is worth much; people drive 20 minutes to get a slightly better deal on gas, spend days repairing a car when a mechanic could fix it in under an hour … or shop for hours to get the best price. A person earning $25,000 a year, working 50 weeks for 5 days a week and 8 hours a day, makes $12.50 an hour. By the same logic, someone making $50,000 a year nets $25 an hour, and someone making $75,000 earns $37.50 an hour. If people actually valued their time at these rates per hour, it wouldn't make sense for them to spend hours getting to the store, shopping, and getting home on an early Friday morning. Basically, if someone saved $25, but spent 3 hours (at $12.50 an hour) shopping, they effectively lost $12.50. If you spend $200 (the average electronics bill), your net savings are only $4.50.
Check it out for yourself: at what point does it make sense for you to go out on Black Friday?
Of course, many like the ritual– and it's hard to quantify happiness associated with that. So even if you value your time anywhere close to your wage, you could still value the time with your family (or away from them) more than that time.
Whether or not you go out on Black Friday is of course your prerogative. But remember that your time is valuable- and frequenting your local stores could save you time and effort. Happy Thanksgiving!

The European Commission has dispelled allegations of a secret pact between the Maltese and Italian governments that allegedly saw Malta surrendering oil exploration rights in disputed areas in return for Italy picking up Malta's share of migrant rescues in its search and rescue area.
Italian MEP Elisabetta Gardini had asked the European Commission to explain the abnormally low numbers of migrants being disembarked in Malta after being rescued at sea, and questioned whether the Commission is aware of any informal agreement between the Maltese and Italian governments related to rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
The question followed allegations in an Italian newspaper that Italy is now taking the migrants "that Malta does not want" in exchange for oil rights in areas under dispute between the Maltese and Italian governments.
Following the accusations, Malta's Home Affairs Minister Carmelo Abela had revealed an informal agreement between the two countries on migrant rescues, describing it as a sign of political maturity and also noted that, on several occasions in the past, the two countries had bickered over who should carry out search and rescue operations. He also said that the disagreements had come to an end.
Minister Abela's initial remarks, coupled with the significant decline in the number of migrants rescued and brought to Maltese shores, all point to the existence of some sort of partnership between Italy and Malta. The extremely low number of migrants arriving in Malta over the last year has been seen as inconsistent with the sheer volume of those fleeing via North Africa, in particular Syrians crossing over into Africa and then making the journey to Europe.
The Maritime Squadron of the Armed Forces of Malta has rescued 93 migrants since January 2015, although its search and rescue area covers 250,000 square km between Sicily and Libya while, over the same period, Italy had brought ashore a total of 121,139 migrants it had rescued.
This week, however, European Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos put paid to the allegations by stating, in reply to the parliamentary question, that the Commission is not aware of any such bilateral agreement and neither is it aware of any alleged "inactivity" on the part of the Maltese armed forces as regards the rescue of migrants. As he explained: "The Commission is not aware of any bilateral agreement between the Maltese and Italian authorities concerning Search and Rescue (SAR) operations in the Mediterranean Sea.
"However, the Commission notes that the operational area of Joint Operation (JO) Triton hosted by Italy, also with the participation of the Maltese assets, covers a large part of the Maltese SAR area defined in accordance with the 1979 International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue. The disembarkation rules for migrants intercepted/rescued during the JO Triton are set out in the Operational Plan agreed by Frontex, Italy as a host Member State and the other participating member states in accordance with Article 3a (1)(i) of the Frontex Regulation.

Q: Not Returning properly I was trying to get employee list which not already available in another list. but im getting only first element from array list.
ex : if i try EmployeeId = new int[2] {5, 2}; the list excluding only '5'. So please help me correct my below code.
public JsonResult GetEmployees(int[] EmployeeId)
    {
        var dbs = new dbContext();

        if (EmployeeId != null)
        {
            foreach (var emp in EmployeeId)
            {
               var EmpList = dbs.Employees.Select(e => new
                   {
                       EmployeeId = e.EmployeeId,
                       Name = e.EmployeeName,
                       Job = e.Job.JobName,
                       Currency = e.Currency.CurrencyName,
                       Amount = e.Amount
                   }).Where(o => o.EmployeeId != emp);
              return Json(EmpList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            }
        }
          return null
    }

A: Have you tried stepping through your code?
Your foreach iterates over your EmployeeId array.
Since you have a return statement in your foreach it exits the function at that point and it only uses the first element of your array.
You need something like this:
public JsonResult GetEmployees(int[] EmployeeId)
        {
            var dbs = new dbContext();

            if (EmployeeId != null)
            {
                var EmpList = dbs.Employees.Where(EmployeeId.Contains(e.EmployeeId))
                .Select(e => new
                {
                    EmployeeId = e.EmployeeId,
                    Name = e.EmployeeName,
                    Job = e.Job.JobName,
                    Currency = e.Currency.CurrencyName,
                    Amount = e.Amount
                }).Where(o => o.EmployeeId != emp);

                return Json(EmpList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            }

            return null;
        }

A: Try this :
var employeeList = dbs.Employees.
             .Where(e => EmployeeId.All(x=> x != e.EmployeeId))
             .Select(e => new
             {
               EmployeeId = e.EmployeeId,
               Name = e.EmployeeName,
               Job = e.Job.JobName,
               Currency = e.Currency.CurrencyName,
               Amount = e.Amount
             });
         return Json(EmpList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
       }


NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Emily Robison admits it was a little "bizarre" watching "Dixie Chicks Storytellers" half a decade after it first aired.
The show was taped in 2006 and The Dixie Chicks multi-instrumentalist says it feels like a lifetime ago. So many things have changed, including the nation's political climate and the Chicks' ongoing, indefinite recording hiatus. The "VH1 Storytellers" installment, out Tuesday for the first time on DVD, is the only material coming from The Dixie Chicks any time soon (the group did do a brief tour with the Eagles last year).
"It's kind of a gift to our fans right now," Robison said in a phone interview from Texas last week. "Because I know they've been so patient and they're a bit frustrated with our lack of being out there right now. So it's just something we feel like we can put out there and give to them, I guess."
"Storytellers" was taped after the release of "Taking the Long Way," the album that went on to win five Grammys, including album of the year, and now marks the end of the Chicks' discography for the time being.
The group was still recovering from the controversy over singer Natalie Maines' 2003 comments against President George W. Bush and the looming war in Iraq. The Dixie Chicks lost about half their audience in the ensuing furor, but fought back in a powerful way, drawing support from many quarters.
The DVD documents a raw time for the band, and the emotion shared on songs like "Not Ready to Make Nice" and "Easy Silence" is palpable. Robison said she felt something of a dislocation as she watched a copy of the DVD a few months ago. Many of those emotional wounds have scarred over in the years since.
"I have mixed feelings about it," Robison said. "I definitely feel like things happen for a reason and I don't really regret what happened. What happened TO us was different. But as far as how we handled it and our stance on things, I would probably do the same thing today. I can't say I have any regrets that way."
The band, which also includes Robison's sister Martie Maguire, isn't the only thing that's changed in that time. The political climate is quite different, too. Eight years later, Robison said, many of the same people who shouted down the Chicks are now vocal critics of President Barack Obama.
"It was about the war then, but I think people on the other side are now realizing they want a voice with maybe the administration that they don't like now," Robison said. "And for them to feel like they wouldn't be able to say what they want to say, it's all relative, because what if people were boycotting them because they said something about Obama? It's just ridiculous. People should be able to say what they want to say."

When you go online to take advantage of Big Al's Midnight Madness sale and the bill comes to $429 but all you bought was fish food.
Wow that is a lot of Fish food Steve, but then again your guys average weight is 3 lb or better. Compared to the rest of us with fish weights in grams. That really is not much food in those terms.
The sad part is it's only about 4 months worth of vittles for my monsters.
I thought it might only be a month worth for your little gang.


On Thursday morning, Whitemoor's youngest sports team traveled up to Ellis Guilford Sports Centre, to take part in the annual Year 1/2 Key Step Gymnastics event.
This competition is based around individual performances of the Key Step Level 1 routines in Body Management, Vault (bench) and Floor. Each performance is scored by a judge and then are added together to provide a team score.
However, it was pleasing to see teachers from two of the medal winning schools come over to tell Whitemoor's team that they should have been the ones with the medals!
Our Y1/2 Gymnastics team consisted of: Werner E, Abi-Lea B, Mustafa T, Amelia B, Ava J and Elijah B.

Blue Sparrow Opens Second Denver Location
Full House Sports Bar & Grill is Never Empty in Englewood
Candy Girls: Sweet Action Ice Cream
Liz Kellermeyer
Liz Kellermeyer | May 21, 2009 | 11:33am
Ice cream season is upon us, and we didn't need to look too far down Broadway to find our cold indulgence for the summer. Sweet Action Ice Cream opened its doors in early March to the general enthusiasm of the entire Baker neighborhood. After moving from New York to Denver, owners Samantha Kopicko and Chia Basinger knew they wanted to start some sort of business. "We thought about opening a bar," said Sam, "but it just didn't sound like fun." The couple had been messing around with making ice cream at home and got to the point where they felt like they had something special.
And they do. Not content to simply sling your standard ice cream around, they went into business with the goal of offering the best product possible, while being as responsible and sustainable as possible. This passion comes through in a variety of ways, from locally sourced milk and produce, to biodegradable spoons, to participation in Xcel's Windsource program. They support other nearby businesses by working with them in creative--and delicious--ways. Watch out for an ice cream/cupcake collaboration with The Shoppe, and for a monthly specialty flavor whose proceeds benefit a local organization.
All very impressive, but let's get down to it: how does it taste?
After feeling uninspired by a pint of horchata we'd picked up about a month ago (which tasted like very good vanilla, but missing the cinnamon notes we had hoped for), we were ready to have a go at some of the most interesting of the 24 flavors on offer in the case. We started with the margarita sorbet, which Chia said was made with 1800 tequila. Smart move, buttering us up with our favorite liquor. The sorbet was rich with citrus and a strong hit of tequila, but at the same time maintained a light and fresh mouth feel. It would be easy for a flavor like this to come out too close to a cheap frozen margarita mix, but this one managed to find the exact right balance between sweet and tart to create an amazingly refreshing sorbet.
In another local collaboration, Sweet Action got a hold of the filling WaterCourse uses for their famous sweet potato cinnamon rolls and swirled it into their cinnamon roll ice cream. The result is a super smooth ice cream, heavy with a bright cinnamon flavor and punched with a gooey ribbon of spice. We say if a cinnamon roll can be considered breakfast, there's no reason why you couldn't indulge in a pint of this stuff first thing in the morning.
Another star flavor came through in the unexpected garam marsala. This is one of Sweet Action's vegan options, made with a base of coconut cream in lieu of dairy. Once our brains were able to make sense of what was going on in our mouths--a spice-infused savory sensation with a kick of coconut--we were converts. This Middle Eastern spice worked in the same way unusual flavors like olive oil or avocado do, and the coconut base matched everything perfectly. The creaminess was so convincing, if we hadn't known otherwise, we would not have been able to tell it was dairy-free.
Other flavors we sampled included pomegranate sorbet (icy and strong), Guinness milk chocolate (creamy and dark, with a note of the stout) and Cherry Mash (one of our favorite old-fashioned candies thrown together with sweet cream).
Sweet Action has over 100 flavors they have developed that are constantly in rotation. So consider yourself lucky and act quickly if you show up and find favorites like baklava, white Russian or salted butterscotch on offer.
The worst part about owning an ice cream shop? Not being able to enjoy other ice cream as much anymore. "We know too much," said Sam.
"Yeah," chimed Chia with a somber look, "Never eat the soft serve at Water World."
Follow Sweet Action on Twitter to get up-to-the-minute reports on new flavors.

50 Years of Taking Photography Seriously
By prairiefirenewsPosted on August 4, 2021
Time to Read:-words
LONDON — In 1968, Sue Davies was working as a secretary at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in the British capital when a colleague got sick, and she found herself left to finish off a photography show they had been working on.
The exhibition, held the following year and focused on images of women, was a hit. Visitors lined up down the block to get in, and Davies asked the institute's founders if they would consider showing more photography. The response, she said, was not what she had wanted: They had only commissioned the last show, they told her, because they were offered the pictures for free.
That made Davies lose her temper, she later told The British Journal of Photography. So she made a decision: If museums didn't want photography in their spaces, she would start her own.
Three years later, in January 1971, Davies opened the Photography's Gallery in a former tearoom in the West End of London. It was the city's first exhibition space dedicated to photography; its aim, Davies wrote in her original proposal, was "to gain recognition for photography as an art form in its own right."
Fifty years later, the Photographers' Gallery has succeeded — it is now housed in a grander, five-story building and is celebrating its half-century with a series of exhibitions, called "Light Years: the Photographers' Gallery at 50," through Feb. 1, 2022.
David Brittain, a former editor of Creative Camera magazine who curated the anniversary shows, said that the gallery had "put up the scaffolding" for photography to be considered seriously in Britain.

Martin Parr, a photographer known for his humorous images of British life, echoed the sentiment. "Here was somewhere you could feel part of a community," he said of the gallery. "It became a place of pilgrimage, almost."
Oliver Chanarin, a winner in 2013 of the gallery's annual Deutsche Börse prize, said that the greatest success of the Photographers' Gallery "was, in a way, to make itself redundant," noting that it had paved the way for many other dedicated exhibition spaces and museum shows to open around Britain. (Another pioneer, Impressions, opened in York in 1972.)
Davies, who died in 2020, is widely praised for her pioneering role, but the project could easily have ended in disaster. "Sue had to remortgage her home and went without a salary for 18 months," Brett Rogers, the gallery's director since 2005, said in a telephone interview. (In 1973, Davies told The New York Times, "We suffer from a chronic lack of money.")
But the exhibitions she organized soon found an audience willing to pay a small entry fee.
The gallery's initial focus was on reportage, displaying socially conscious photographs shot for newspapers and magazines. Among those were the striking images of the residents of "the Black House," a London hostel for young Black people, taken by Colin Jones and featured in a 1977 show.
In the 1980s, the gallery showed work by Black photographers, including the group D-Max, as well as more photography by women. In the '90s and beyond, thematic exhibitions explored issues such as photography's role in the age of computers and its use in surveillance. There have also been shows featuring star artists such as Catherine Opie, Taryn Simon and Wim Wenders.

The gallery's variety sometimes proved too much for traditionalists. In 1978, it held a show, called "Fragments," of photo collages by John Stezaker. The artist recalled in a recent telephone interview that his cut-and-paste approach had gone down badly. "I can remember the chairman of the patrons writing a several-page diatribe against me in the visitor's book, hinting very strongly that Sue would lose her funding if she kept promoting this rubbish," he said.
Stezaker didn't exhibit at the Photographers' Gallery again until 2012, when he won the Deutsche Börse prize. "Sue felt as vindicated as I did," Stezaker said.
In the 1980s, the gallery received complaints of a different kind for its show of photographs from The Face, a youth culture magazine. According to Brittain, some photographers felt that the images glorified consumerism, undermining photography's true mission: to expose social ills. "It showed the fault lines emerging between generations," he said.
Occasionally, the controversies were more serious in nature. In 2010, the gallery held an exhibition by Sally Mann, an American photographer who shoots portraits of her children, naked, and who has been accused of producing child pornography. After hearing about the show, the London police investigated but decided that the images were not obscene. "We defend it as art, and we always will," Rogers, the gallery's directory, said.
Two years later, the Photographers' Gallery moved out of its original premises, near Leicester Square. With two exhibition spaces on either side of a West End theater, accessible to each other only via the street, the original setup was awkward, Rogers said: When it rained, visitors got stuck, she noted, and only one of the spaces had restrooms.

The gallery's current home, in a redeveloped warehouse near Oxford Street, will next year become the anchor for a local council initiative called the Soho Photography Quarter, intended to rebrand and develop the surrounding area.
So what role is there for the gallery today, when photography is so accepted and admired that part of London will be renamed after the art form?
Chanarin, the 2013 prize winner, said that the gallery was "needed more than ever." Photography had "become a more complex and layered medium" thanks to smartphones and social media, he noted. Photographs now watch us and the choices we make, as much as we look at them, he added, pointing out that apps like Instagram log every image a user likes. Spaces like the Photographer's Gallery are needed to explain the changing context of photography, he said.
Rogers agreed that the gallery's role was vital in a time when "everybody thinks they're a photographer." The challenge for the institution, she added, was to say, "Well, yes, but what makes a memorable photograph of the kind that lasts centuries?"
Despite all the changes, that sounded a lot like Sue Davies's mission when she started the gallery 50 years ago: to bring exciting photography to the public and to make them want to come back for more.
