Jeremy Clarkson's plan for restaurant at Diddly Squat Farm refused
By Huw Mabe @huwmabeNQ Reporter

Jeremy Clarkson has failed in his bid to extend his Diddly Squat farming operation - after being refused planning permission.
The former Top Gear host faced an angry backlash from residents over his ambition to expand the farm with more than 50 objections registered with the council.
He had wanted to build a new 70 space car park and 60-seat cafe on the site close to the village of Chadlington.
The 61-year-old presenter turned up in person at a meeting of West Oxfordshire District Council on Monday to make a personal plea to councillors to back his plans - but these fell on death ears.
In his last ditch appeal to councillors, Mr Clarkson told the meeting: "It is diversification of a farming business. We have already started talking to our neighbouring farmers."
He added that everyone is "very excited" about the business.
"Farmers look after the woodland, they look after the hedges, the streams and the fields - they keep it beautiful.
"Farmers are not going to be able to do that for much longer because of the farmer's state of finances. We have been told as farmers to diversify - that is exactly what this proposal is."
A total of 53 objections were received by the council, with another 12 letters of support. Around 30 members of the public turned up for the meeting.
Councillors supported the planners recommended to refuse permission on the grounds the restaurant would be "out of keeping" with the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Planning officer Joan Desmond stated: "By reason of its siting, design, scale and location, the proposed development would not be sustainable and would not be compatible or consistent in scale with the existing farming business or its open countryside location."
She reported: "By reason of its design, scale, siting and nature of the use within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the proposed development would have a visually intrusive and harmful impact on the rural character, scenic beauty and tranquillity of the area."
Despite the refusal, opinion among councillors during the meeting was divided.
Councillor Merilyn Davies said: "We have to support farmers and diversification, we live in a rural area."
Councillor Dean Temple, who represents Chadlington, said it is a 'very difficult case', adding: "With a heavy heart, I propose we reject this proposal."
Councillor Elizabeth Poskitt told the meeting: "There are plenty of less obtrusive places where one could have a restaurant."
The TV presenter whose runaway hit show Clarkson's Farm has brought countless visitors to the area, had hoped to convert a lambing shed built in 2020 after a new flock of sheep was bought to diversify the farm business.
It has now been merged with another local farmer's flock.
Documents state the building has since been used, without planning permission, as a cafe and a bar area.
Chadlington Parish Council said it held a public meeting in November to decide its view on the "divisive and contentious" application but a vote was inconclusive.
Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) West Oxfordshire said any new restaurant would be a "major incursion" into the AONB and would "spoil the rural nature of the Upper Evenlode Valley".
Clarkson's representatives had already been forced to change transport plans for the scheme with a new one way system and overflow car park to try and appease the mounting number of objectors.
He had also been served with a notice following complaints that the farm shop had breached original planning conditions by selling out-of-town souvenirs.
The council served the contravention notice after allegations that products sold in its shop were not grown, reared or produced on the farm, or from other local producers.
If proved, that would be in contravention of a condition of the planning permission in November 2019, the council said.
Jeremy Clarkson attended the meeting with his land manager Charlie Ireland and they saw seven out of 10 councillors vote against the restaurant plans.
As the pair left in a black Range Rover it was understood the TV presenter-turned-farmer was not happy with the decision.
He told reporters the refusal meant a "very bad day for farming".
When asked how frustrated he was, he said: "Very, and so will all the local farmers [be]."

Teledyne LeCroy Develops the Most Accurate Measurement System for GaN and SiC Semiconductor Analysis
New 1 GHz probes, 12-bit High Definition Oscilloscopes and test software combine to provide ultimate accuracy for wide-bandgap semiconductor testing
Chestnut Ridge, NY, April 12, 2022 – Teledyne LeCroy today announced the launch of their new DL-ISO High Voltage Optically Isolated 1 GHz Probe and Power-Device test software, which when combined with their High Definition Oscilloscopes (HDO®) offer the most accurate electrical characterization of gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices.
For more than thirty years, engineers have used silicon (Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power semiconductor devices to produce power supplies and power conversion systems. However, consumers are demanding smaller and lighter power supplies and systems, and governments are mandating higher efficiencies. Wide-bandgap (WBG) materials, such as GaN and SiC, switch more than ten times faster than Si in semiconductor devices, and reduce size and weight while increasing efficiency. However, many engineers are implementing WBG semiconductors for the first time, and they need more measurement bandwidth and more accurate and detailed analysis of the semiconductor devices.
The new Teledyne LeCroy DL-ISO High Voltage Optically Isolated Probe provides design engineers with the highest-confidence GaN and SiC power semiconductor device measurements. The new probe has the best signal fidelity, lowest overshoot and best accuracy — 1.5% when combined with Teledyne LeCroy's industry-leading 12-bit resolution HDOs, nearly twice as good as the only competitor. The 1 GHz bandwidth meets requirements to measure GaN device 1 ns rise times. HDOs also provide up to 20 GS/s sample rate at 12-bit resolution for the most faithful capture and display of high-speed GaN and SiC device signals. This combination of best signal fidelity, low overshoot, high accuracy, high bandwidth and high sample rate is critically important for successfully implementing GaN and SiC technologies in new designs. Teledyne LeCroy's new Power-Device software package additionally simplifies the analysis of GaN and SiC devices with automated JEDEC® switching loss and other measurements, and color-coded overlays to highlight the relevant, measured areas.
The DL-ISO probes are offered in bandwidths of 350 MHz, 700 MHz and 1 GHz. Availability of the probe and Power-Device software is 14 weeks ARO. For more information, visit teledynelecroy.com/powerprobes.
Compatible Teledyne LeCroy HDOs range in bandwidth from 350 MHz to 8 GHz, with 12-bit resolution all the time and up to 20 GS/s sample rate. For further information, visit teledynelecroy.com/hdo or contact Teledyne LeCroy at 1-800-553-2769.

This is a rare and beautiful example of the genius of Antonio Borsato. The individual rendition of each piece can be vastly different from others of the same model, making each one an individual work of art. Antonio Borsato died in an auto accident in 1982, at the height of his recognition as arguably the finest Italian porcelain sculpture of the 20th Century. Collectors around the world love the details; a turn of the head; positions of the fingers. Borsato was never very prolific, so his work, especially the medium and large pieces (some of which required 150 different molds!) is relatively rare.
Size: 13 by 12 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches.
The Condition is Excellent. No losses; no restorations.
Borsato worked endlessly to make each creation a melody of color and movement. Being a perfectionist, he was not very prolific. Each piece had a special touch; a turn of the head, an expression. Borsato originals are sculptured in the full-round with no blank surfaces, with the entire piece completely hand colored with brilliant artistry. All stages were attended to by Antonio Borsato himself. It is impressive to note that no Borsato was in mass production. Borsato is known as the Michelangelo of the 20th Century. His works are displayed in the Vatican, museums, and many significant private collections. He studied under the great Cacciapuoti early on, but many believe he far surpassed his mentor, becoming the greatest of the Capo-Di-Monte genre. The book Capodimonte Collectibles, published in 1990, presents a fascinating history of Capodimonte porcelain, and clearly indicates that some 20th Century artists were included in the term "Capodimonte." Antonio Borsato is featured over and over again as a prime example. His work is pictured on Pages 53, 58, 63, 64, 117, 118, 134, 139, and 153. His trademark (artist's palette) is also shown. This large and complete book outlines the original history, and the various trademarks used for this umbrella term; from unmarked pieces, to a fleur-di-lis in a circle, to the crown with the N, to more modern marks which this book includes the Borsato trademark. Borsato works of art are irreplaceable just as are the works of other Old Masters. His impeccable faithful adherence to detail, a wisp of hair, facial expression, even eyelashes, gestures, whimsical humor, anatomical perfection, combine to endow each of Borsato's works with breathing realism. A Borsato art treasure is an exquisite masterpiece to be cherished as an heirloom for future generations.

Does the United States Allow Dual Citizenship?
One of the most wonderful aspects of the United States is its diversity. This nation is composed of a variety of nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures. Within this vast blend of peoples are individuals who are very proud of their countries of origin.
Therefore, if you are seeking to become a United States citizen, you may feel a sense of loss if you feel compelled to renounce your citizenship in your former nation. Fortunately, you might be able to maintain dual citizenship between the USA and your former country after your U.S. naturalization ceremony takes place.
1. What is Dual Citizenship?
2. Countries That Allow Dual Citizenship
3. How to Get Dual Citizenship in the USA
4. Benefits of Dual Citizenship
There is no difference between dual citizenship and dual nationality. The two terms can be used interchangeably.
Essentially, dual nationality means that a person can hold citizenship in two countries at the same time. They can benefit from the rights allowed to citizens of each country, but they also have double the responsibilities.
Although the United States allows its naturalized residents to hold citizenship in more than one nation, not every country of origin allows for dual nationality. Therefore, if a foreign national does not want to renounce their citizenship in their former nation, they should research whether their country of origin allows for dual citizenship before pursuing U.S. naturalization.
If dual citizenship is desired, the first thing a candidate for U.S. citizenship should do is to make sure that their country of origin allows for it.
Dual Citizenship in the United States
The United States neither promotes nor denies dual citizenship. Essentially, when a foreign national swears in as a naturalized U.S. citizen, they are not required to simultaneously renounce their citizenship in their prior nation.
According to the Supreme Court decision in Kawakita v. United States (1952), "The concept of dual citizenship recognizes that a person may have and exercise the rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both." Thus, when a national of a foreign country swears in as a U.S. citizen, they can retain their former rights and duties while taking on those of the United States.
Other Dual Nationality Countries
Just because the United States allows its citizens to hold dual nationality does not mean that every country of origin does as well. Only certain countries allow their citizens to continue to be nationals of that place after they swear in as U.S. naturalized citizens.
Each country has its own rules regarding dual citizenship. So it is important to research the detailed rules of each foreign country, even if its laws do allow for dual citizenship. Some examples of countries that allow U.S. citizens to be dual citizens of their nation as well include the following:
Some of the nations that require a person to renounce their citizenship of origin when they become a naturalized U.S. citizen include Mainland China and India. However, India allows its former citizens to register as an Overseas Citizen of India.
There are actually two ways to achieve dual citizenship in the United States. Immigrants who eventually become U.S. naturalized citizens may want to keep their citizenship in their former nation. Additionally, some Americans who were born in the United States, but have parents that were born elsewhere, may wish to obtain dual citizenship.
Foreign Nationals Who Want Dual Citizenship
As was stated above, the United States does not require a candidate for naturalization to renounce their citizenship in their country of origin at their swearing in ceremony.
Therefore, so long as the new U.S. citizen comes from a country that allows them to retain their foreign citizenship, they will have dual nationality.
Not sure if you're eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization? You can free check eligibility through DYgreencard.com without providing any personal information. When you are ready, we can help you handle a naturalization application in such a simple way. All you need to do is just answer a few simple questions and upload basic documents to our online platform. Then we take care of the rest. Learn more, or get started today.
Persons Who Were Born in the USA and Want to Be Dual Citizens
At the other end of the spectrum are those who were born in the USA or have a parent who was born in America. If someone has immigrant parents, but they were born in the U.S., they could apply for dual citizenship to the country of their parents' nation of origin if that location allows for it.
Furthermore, if person was born outside the United States, but they have a parent who is an American citizen, they too can have dual citizenship. However, it is important to remember that, although dual citizenship endows certain rights to those who hold it, there are also duties to each of the nations of citizenship.
Not sure if you or your child is eligible for citizenship through U.S. citizen parent? You can free check eligibility through DYgreencard.com without providing any personal information.
You might be attracted to attaining dual citizenship because you are interested in the benefits of being a national of two countries. If you are a citizen of two countries, then you can vote or run for office in more than one nation, and you might maintain a foreign passport.
However, if you do hold dual citizenship, you could cease to be an American citizen if you take part in certain activities. These include serving in the military of a foreign country, or committing acts of treason against the United States. Barring these extreme situations, it can be blessing to experience citizenship in more than one nation.

Most people, however, don't know that using your CSS perfectly can also help with your rankings in the search engines. The more light weight your websites are the faster the bots and spiders can read them, and search engines are very friendly towards slow moving websites with bulky and unattractive coding.
Since the bots and spiders can read them faster, this in turn means that your websites will get indexed faster. Being indexed in the search engines is the first major step to rising up in the search engines as it is the first step to even being visible in the search engines!
This may seem very unsubstantial at first, but having great CSS in all aspects of your website (especially if you have a whole network of websites) will really positively affect your SEO in the long run, and SEO is all about the long run.
Every time you upload a new article, or a new page, it will be indexed faster, and if you are uploading hundreds of articles or pages each year, the effect of great CSS can really help increase the "age" of your website by increasing the speed of when it is able to show up in the SERPs.

» Attorney Doug Mahoney Quoted in Article About Connecticut Supreme Court Requiring Jury Instruction to Avoid Social Media
Attorney Doug Mahoney Quoted in Article About Connecticut Supreme Court Requiring Jury Instruction to Avoid Social Media
In the age of Facebook, Twitter, and round-the-clock news coverage, it's hard not to hear information about a highly publicized case.
The constant access to news and commentary might be useful for the general public, but it has caused enough concern among Connecticut judges to warrant immediate action.
In an effort to keep juries unbiased, the state Supreme Court has issued a ruling that will require all trial judges to instruct jurors — immediately upon their selection to serve on the jury – to avoid all media accounts of the particular case they will decide. This includes news media accounts as well as social media.
Jurors cannot discuss the case on Facebook, Twitter, or follow anyone else who is discussing the case through social media.
By doing so, "the trial court can assure itself that an order to avoid publicity and outside communications about the case has been given before any likely exposure to such publicity or communications has occurred," wrote Justice Dennis G. Eveleigh in a ruling to be officially released this week in the case of David Kervick v. Silver Hill Hospital et al.
Previously, there was less uniformity in how different court jurisdictions handled the instructions, according to trial lawyers. Sometimes a court clerk might warn the juror, rather than the judge. Once the trial begins, judges routinely tell jurors to avoid media accounts of the case.
"…We consider the issue of potential juror exposure to media coverage of a case extremely important, particularly in light of the twenty-four hour news cycle of today's world," wrote Eveleigh. "Accordingly, we conclude that the important issue presented in this case warrants the use of this court's supervisory authority in order to minimize the probability of juror exposure to media coverage of a case."
According to lawyers involved in the case, despite applying the ruling in a civil dispute, the state Supreme Court's ruling was broad enough to also apply to the criminal courts.
Specifically, the state Supreme Court justices ordered the state's trial judges to issue a written or verbal instruction to each selected juror. If in writing, the juror must read and sign the form before leaving the courthouse. A footnote at the bottom of the Kervick decision provides a sample written instruction to be given to jurors.
Douglas P. Mahoney, a trial lawyer from Tremont Sheldon Robinson Mahoney in Bridgeport who is the current president of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, explained that at jury selection for a civil trial, the judge is typically not present in the courtroom, unlike in a criminal case.
Further, he said as recently as four or five years ago (when the Kervick case went to trial), temporary assistant court clerks would be present for jury selection and they would inform selected jurors to avoid media coverage of the case. However, he said budget cuts have eliminated the use of the per diem court clerks.
"Now most civil juries are picked without even a clerk being present," said Mahoney. "The lawyers sort of pick the juries on their own. The state doesn't have the resources to pay the clerks like they used to."
The justices further instructed that if a juror is exposed to media coverage despite their best efforts not to, they must inform the judge of this in writing without notifying the other jurors. That way, the judge can figure out the best course of action to protect the parties' rights to a fair trial.
All of this instruction by the justices stemmed from an appeal in a sordid case involving sexual abuse and suicide.
David Kervick, a New Jersey lawyer and former public defender, filed a malpractice lawsuit against Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan as executor of the estate of former Westport librarian Ruth Farrell who committed suicide in 2002 at the well-known psychiatric and drug abuse facility.
Kervick met Farrell at the facility years earlier while treating for drug problems and bipolar disorder. Celebrities like Billy Joel, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mariah Carey have received treatment there.
Farrell, who was repeatedly abused as a child and developed multiple personalities, was treated by a psychiatrist there named Ellyn Shander. Shander was also named in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit contended that the facility should have prevented Farrell from hanging herself while she was staying there.
A jury sided with the defendants but the state Appellate Court in 2011 ordered a new trial on grounds that the trial judge, David Tobin, had failed to find out if jurors had read a New York Times article about the case that came out after the jury was selected but before evidence in the case began.
The state Supreme Court, besides using its supervisory authority in its decision, also overturned the Appellate Court ruling and reinstated the jury's defense verdict. The state Supreme Court ruled that the court clerk's instruction to the jury to avoid media coverage of the case would suffice, especially since the plaintiffs did not object to it at the time.
Lawyers for Silver Hill Hospital and Dr. Shander were pleased with the ruling.
"Every single fact in that [New York Times] article came into evidence at trial," said Robert C.E. Laney, of Ryan Ryan Deluca in Stamford, who represented the hospital in the state Supreme Court appeal. "So even if someone had read it, it's hard for me to envision how it would've unfairly tainted [the jury]."
"There was no evidence jurors even knew the article existed," continued Laney. "That was always something that bothered me about the Appellate Court decision."
Laney said jurors were warned during the trial 32 times by the judge to avoid media coverage of the case and only rely on evidence presented in the courtroom.
"In light of that background, the idea that a jury read this article seems a little far-fetched," said Laney. "The idea that the jury read the article and would not report it to the court is even more far-fetched to me."
Attorney Sandra Akoury represented Kervick, the New Jersey lawyer plaintiff. Akoury did not return repeated calls for comment last week.
David J. Robertson, of Heidell, Pittoni, Murphy & Bach's Bridgeport office, said his client, Dr. Shander, was pleased to have the case finally resolved.
Despite their pleasure with the ruling from their client's perspective, Laney and Robertson said the use of the state Supreme Court supervisory authority was the big issue going forward that impacts the Connecticut legal community.
"It's the new challenges we have with jury trials," said Robertson, regarding the new reality of 24-hour news channels and social media. "You didn't have to worry about that 20 years ago."
An example of such a challenge, according to Robertson: A juror hears a medical term during testimony that he or she does not understand. So the juror wants to "Google it" and find out what it means. That's a no-no, per the court's rules.
"The whole idea of instantly getting information, as a juror you're put in a different atmosphere," said Robertson. "You can't do that. You must wait for it to come at some point during the trial."
All-in-all, trial lawyers seemed to think the ruling was a good idea.
"I'm sure anytime you take steps to make sure jurors are deciding the case just on the evidence, it's always a good thing," said Mahoney.
Mahoney recalled reporters tweeting continuous updates from the courtroom during the St. Francis Hospital child sex abuse trial in 2011.
"It is a concern when you have that type of media coverage jurors are [potentially] being exposed to, so anytime you can mitigate that, it's a good thing," said Mahoney.

The great botanist naturalists of Cadiz:
José Celestino Mutis
Distinguished and renowned Cadiz-born José Celestino Mutis y Bosio (1732-1808), priest, botanist, geographer, mathematician and doctor, carried out numerous studies of Botany in the New Kingdom of Granada, territory occupied today by Colombia.
As was usual at the time, after having studied medicine, Mutis trained in botany, a subject that becomes his passion. In 1760, he left Spain with the intention of writing a natural history of America, until he was appointed Director of the Botanical Expedition and focused on the flora of New Granada.
During this expedition, Mutis led his team of painters to produce the iconographic collection of the botanical expedition, the most exquisite, luxurious and abundant collection of botanical paintings known throughout the history of Spain and Colombia, which is preserved in the Royal Garden Botanical of Madrid. The work that is conserved consists of 5393 plates, a herbarium composed of approximately 20,000 smaller versions of a herbarium which contains a large number of botanical and personal manuscripts by Mutis.
It is also among the most outstanding and relevant initiators of European scientific knowledge in America. Spain had been left out of the scientific revolution in Europe, from the mid-sixteenth century until well into the seventeenth century, during the counter-reformation of Philip II. From 1680, the Novatores, the movement Mutis belonged to, pursued the task of restoring science in the Kingdom of Spain. Mutis aimed to disseminate and institutionalise the scientific trends from northern Europe in New Granada, training people in topics such as botany, medicine, physics and philosophy. He also promoted educational reforms and directed the Botanical Expedition of New Granada.
"¡Apartad los ojos de la España detenida y volvedlos hacia la Europa del Norte! ….No hagan en vuestros ánimos impresión alguna los motivos del temeroso procedimiento de España en las ciencias naturales cuyo atraso lloran actualmente los españoles de juicio…"
Celestino Mutis.

If you're feeling charitably inclined towards your soon-to-be ex-colleagues as you sit down to draft your departure email, take a look at how the pros do it.
Dan Neil won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism for his writing about cars. Earlier this year he left The Los Angeles Times for The Wall Street Journal and wrote the following departure email, which was then posted online. I will identify 6 techniques in Dan Neil's email that can be incorporated into any departure letter and compare and contrast his execution of those techniques with that of a law firm partner. In other words, let's take a look and see what you can copy.
1. THE INCLUSIVE OPENING SALVO
From: Neil, Dan
Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 2:54 PM
To: yyeditall
Subject: Dan Neil on the bounce
Friends, colleagues, brothers and sisters,
Whether used as a salutation or placed somewhere in the middle, a list of types of people at the workplace is a Last Day Email mainstay. The order in which workplace demographics are listed usually reveals the writer's thought process and value system. Here's the opening salvo from our law firm partner:
To My Partners, Colleagues and Friends,
You can see just what he was thinking. The readers at the forefront of his mind, the people that he was primarily writing to, were the other partners. So that came first on the list. Then he thought about the more junior lawyers at the firm, and imagined them reading his words with admiration and wonder, so he wrote "colleagues" next. Finally, he realized that he wanted to send his email to everyone in the office, not just the lawyers, but what… what are those non-lawyer people called? The ones that know where to get more of those pens with the padded, the padded barrels and who can, as if by magic, convert two-dimensional pieces of cardboard into magnificent document holding structures? After some thought, he shrugs and decides on "friends."
That's not bad. But a Pulitzer winner goes one step further and thinks about the effect of his words on his readers. Starting out with "Friends" as Dan Neil does is classy –it is all inclusive. No one reads it and thinks, "Oh that is not me, I guess I'm somewhere further down the list." Instead, everyone from management to mailroom reads it and finds that it feels nice to be addressed as a friend.
2. THE MORALE BOOST
Our Pulitzer winner begins his Last Day Email with a strong defense of the LA Times:
In the past week or so people have come up to me and said words to the effect: "The Journal, huh? Sinking ship and all that?" And I just want to slam their heads in a car door.
I absolutely love this newspaper and I am immensely proud of my association with it. People who talk shit about the LA Times to me are going to find me in their grille in a major way.
This morale boost isn't too touchy-feely because the writer employs curse words, puns relating to his automotive writing, and violent imagery. The effect is that he makes you, the reader, feel good for being you. He's saying, "I'm leaving you, but you f*cking rule." You can do this too, but drop the automotive puns or it will look like you have anger issues. Perhaps something like this would work for a law firm:
In the past week or so people have come up to me and said words to the effect: "XXXX LLP, huh? Sinking ship and all that?" And I just want to paper cut them with thick manila file folders on that soft webbed part between their fingers.
3. THE PERSONAL STORY
Do you know what everyone loves? A story. And what's more humbling and dramatic than a story of redemption by the workplace?
Maybe you don't know this story. In November 2002 I had just come through an awful divorce (we pronounce that DEE-vorce in North Carolina). I was sitting heartbroken and alone in a villa in the south of France, on some godforsaken travel assignment, contemplating the taste of gunpowder. Nobody knew where I was. The phone rang. It was former editor John Carroll, who had somehow tracked me down. He wanted me to come to Los Angeles and be the paper's car critic.
Well, I said to him, as it happens my schedule has just opened up.
It was the beginning of the most wonderful professional experience of my life, the most fun, the most satisfying, the most intellectually challenging. This placed saved me. It made me.
As Dan Neil's email demonstrates, the formula for the Personal Story for a departure email is:
Reveal that you were not always the man/woman you are pretending to be now.
Describe an intervention by your company.
State that the intervention made you the resplendid creature you are today.
Let's go back to that law firm partner email we were looking at earlier:
When XXXX and XXXX called me to invite a conversation in late 19XX, I was thankful for the opportunity, as I was at a low point in my career, and they 'vouched" for me (notwithstanding my sordid college history with XXXX and my days as an associate with XXXX). But for their friendship and confidence, I would not have had the chance to join this fine firm and become a part of the XXXX family. Literally speaking, they picked me up out of a most difficult situation, and I vowed to pay them back by proving myself to them and to XXXX. I hope I have.
Ok, so it's not as eloquent as Dan Neil's and it leaves me with homoerotic images of a bunch of male lawyers who had a "sordid college history" together "literally" picking each other up from "a most difficult situation." But it totally makes me sit-up and pay attention.
4. THE COMMON ENEMY
Dan Neil was an outspoken critic of Sam Zell when he purchased the LA Times in 2007, and he unabashedly expresses his sentiments in his departure email:
It's been a rough few years here, mainly because of the jackasses in Chicago who own us. To them I say, with as much gusto as I can muster in an email, fuck you.
You too, can use the Common Enemy technique.
It really doesn't matter whom you vow eternal vengence on, or whether your company even has a common enemy, as long as you use the term "jackasses." No one likes jackasses. Everyone just wants them to be f*cked. I think it's something about the word itself. When you think of a jackass, don't you envision someone with arrogant hair and an annoying face, kind of like Pepe Le Pew in a suit? Don't you just want him to get f*cked up?
To employ the Common Enemy technique in your departure letter, simply copy Dan Neil's eloquent phrasing, but replace "Chicago" with "Washington." That's it! It's okay, you don't have to have a particular person in mind, or even a particular party. Maybe the people at your office won't agree on exactly who the jackasses in Washington are, but it's not alienating because everyone vehemently agrees, without a doubt, that there are jackasses in Washington.
5. THE HAPPY ENDING
Dan Neil's Happy Ending takes the form of a one-two punch:
On a happier note, there's not a person in this building I do not like, if not love. The paper has more greatness ahead of it, and I'll be watching from the east coast and rooting you on.
If you are able and inclined, there's a beer call at Redwood tomorrow, around 5 pm. Hope to see you there.
One statement about the company's rosy future and another statement about beer. Keep it simple and never forget the beer. Let's see how our law firm partner did with his happy ending:
For those with whom I worked most closely, my congratulations, for this surely is emancipation day – no more 4 AM emails or urgent weekend messages.
No more 4 AM emails or urgent weekend messages would be pretty great, of course. But here is one instance where remaining vague actually rings less hollow than being specific. Dan Neil wrote that the LA Times "has more greatness ahead of it." No one at the LA Times is going to be sorely disappointed in 12 hours when they wake up on Saturday morning, rub their eyes, and realize that greatness has not yet come. But those poor lawyers who worked closely with the departing law partner will totally continue to receive 4 AM emails and urgent weekend messages, just from a different master. This is when you should be like a good lawyer or a bad boyfriend, and keep your promises vague and fuzzy.
6. THE TRIPLE AXEL SIGN-OFF
This is how a Pulitzer winner signs off his departure email:
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I don't know about you guys, but I got a little bit choked up by the third "thank you." Now, I know three thank-you's –heck, even one thank-you– is probably way too emotional for most office workers. I remember a law firm partner reprimanding "another" first-year associate for signing a letter with "sincerely" because "lawyers are never sincere!" She was told to use "yours truly" instead –probably because it doesn't mean anything.
But even if you are signing off with something bland and meaningless, at least consider repeating it a few times. Sure, it's sentimental, and horribly inefficient use of your delicate fingertips, but it's your last day at the office, and maybe, just maybe, you could indulge in a little bit of digital feeling.

Petoskey man charged in fatal motorcycle crash enters no-contest plea
Steve Zucker (231) 439-9346 szucker@petoskeynews.com
PETOSKEY — A Petoskey man who was charged in connection with a traffic crash that claimed the life of a motorcyclist earlier this year recently entered a no-contest plea to the charge.
On Oct. 4, Travis Jacob Fisher, 37, of Petoskey pleaded no-contest in 90th District Court to a charge of moving violation causing death. The charge is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
A no-contest plea is similar to a guilty plea in that a conviction is entered into the record and the defendant is held responsible for the crime for sentencing purposes, but the defendant does not admit guilt. Such pleas are typically only permitted in cases in which the defendant could face civil liability arising from the circumstances surrounding the case, or in instances where the defendant cannot remember the incident from which the charges arise.
The charge stems from a two-vehicle traffic crash that happened at the intersection of Mitchell and Alcan roads east of Petoskey in Bear Creek Township around 11 a.m. on June 23.
Justin Wilson, 20, of Petoskey, died as a result of injuries he sustained in the crash.
The day following the crash, Emmet County Sheriff Pete Wallin told the News-Review that the crash report shows Wilson was traveling west on Mitchell Road on a 2001 Kawasaki motorcycle when Fisher was driving a 2013 Buick east on Mitchell Road and attempted to make a left turn onto Alcan Road, turning into Wilson's path.
Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Neither Fisher, nor any of the other occupants of the vehicle he was driving were injured in the crash.
Fisher was arrested on the charge on Aug. 12 after the Emmet County Prosecuting Attorney's office authorized a criminal charge against him.
Fisher was released from custody after posting a $2,000 surety bond. He was arraigned on the charge on Aug. 29.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on the conviction on Oct. 25.

Q: Move objects around multiple ObservableCollection I have three Items Control, detailed bellow, currently I have three accompanying  Observable collections, one for each control. I want to be able to move one of the objects from one of the group boxes and for it to appear in another. Currently, I am removing it from the original observable collection and then adding it to the new one. This however has lead to threading issues, where the UI doesn't always update the move. Is there any better way of moving around the objects between observable collections. Such as having only one, but changing which are rendered in which control? Any help is appreciated.
XAML:
<GroupBox x:Name="OnTimeGroup">
    <ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
        <StackPanel>
            <ItemsControl x:Name="OnTimeCards">

                        <UserControl:OnTimeCard Visibility="Visible" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            </ItemsControl>
        </StackPanel>
    </ScrollViewer>
</GroupBox>
<GroupBox x:Name="LateGroup">
    <StackPanel>
        <ItemsControl x:Name="LateCards">
            <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>

                    <UserControl:LateActionNeededCard Ignore="LateCardIgnoreClicked" Publish="LateCardPublishClicked" Visibility="Visible" />
                    </materialDesign:TransitioningContent>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>

                    <DataTemplate>
                        <UserControl:PublishedCard Update="PublishedCardUpdateClicked" Visibility="{Binding IsVisible}" />

            </StackPanel>
        </ScrollViewer>
    </GroupBox>

C#
private ObservableCollection<LiveTime> OnTimeCardsCollection = new ObservableCollection<LiveTime>();
private ObservableCollection<LiveTime> LateCardsCollection = new ObservableCollection<LiveTime>();
private ObservableCollection<LiveTime> PublishedCardsCollection = new ObservableCollection<LiveTime>();

Pseudo Code of Current Code
When the user clicks a button on the object, remove it from the current observable collection. Then create a brand new object in the adjoining observable collection.

A: You have two different questions here:

*

*Changing observable collections and the UI reacting to it: Observable Collections are made for this, and you shouldn't have a problem removing/adding. Of course, the exceptions are when the work is not done on the UI thread or if the synchronization is not done properly. I'd recommend enabling collection synchronization instead of marshalling every call to the UI thread. Refer to this post about collection synchronization

*Having one collection for all three items control, but show different things: Yes. You could do this with a CollectionView by applying the appropriate filter. Here is an article that talks about CollectionViewSource

CMS Issues Interim Final Rules with Comment (CMS-1744-IFC & CMS-5531-IFC) – COVID-19 Public Health Emergency – Revised
Joint DME MAC Article
On April 6, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued an interim final rule with comment (CMS-1744-IFC), establishing that certain requirements for face-to-face/in-person encounters will not apply during the COVID-19 public health emergency. In addition, CMS-1744-IFC stated that the chief medical officer or the equivalent individual of a facility may authorize a physician of a different specialty than specified in a national coverage determination (NCD) or local coverage determination (LCD) to perform a service, procedure, or portion of a procedure. The chief medical officer or equivalent may also authorize a different practitioner type than the one specified in the NCD or LCD to perform the service or procedure. In addition, CMS-1744-IFC finalized on an interim basis that CMS would not enforce various clinical indications of coverage found in specific NCDs, LCDs, and related policy articles. These interim final policies are effective for claims with dates of service on or after March 1, 2020 and for the duration of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). It is in the best interest of patients, health care professionals and suppliers to limit face-to-face encounters and avoid exposure of vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries to COVID-19. Furthermore, CMS believes that it is possible that patients receiving services for respiratory-related indications will be required to receive care in unexpected settings, including the home. This may be necessary as COVID-19 and other patients are shifted across healthcare settings to accommodate an increase in patient volume.
A subsequent CMS interim final rule with comment, CMS-5531-IFC, was put on display at the Office of the Federal Register on May 1, 2020, scheduled to be published on May 8, 2020. This IFC clarified that reasonable and necessary statutory requirements in section 1862(a)(1) of the Social Security Act are not being waived due to the COVID-19 PHE. CMS-5531-IFC additionally instructs that, unless expressly permitted by statute, items and services must be medically reasonable and necessary, and that the medical records must document the medical necessity of the item(s) and/or service(s) billed.
Finally, on an interim basis, CMS-5531-IFC expanded non-enforcement of clinical indications of coverage for therapeutic continuous glucose monitors (CGMs).
Face-To-Face/In-Person Encounters
For the duration of this PHE for the COVID-19 PHE, it is in the best interest of patients, health care professionals and suppliers to limit face-to-face encounters and avoid exposure of vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries to COVID-19. Therefore, on an interim basis, we are finalizing that to the extent an NCD or LCD (including policy articles) would otherwise require a face-to-face or in-person encounter for evaluations, assessments, certifications or other implied face-to-face services, those requirements would not apply during the COVID-19 PHE.
Exception: Note that the IFCs do not apply to Power Mobility Devices (PMDs) where the face-to-face encounter with the ordering practitioner is mandated by Medicare statute at section 1834(a)(1)(E)(iv) of the Social Security Act, as codified in 42 CFR § 410.38. The regulation already permits the use of telehealth in accordance with Medicare guidelines. CMS has extended flexibilities to permit a broader use of telehealth services, locations, provider types and technologies during the COVID-19 PHE.
Exception: Note that CMS Quality Standards Appendices, incorporated by reference in the DMEPOS Supplier Standards at 42 CFR §424.57 continue to apply during the COVID-19 PHE. The CMS-1744-IFC only addressed requirements in NCDs, LCDs and related articles.
Clinical Indications for Coverage
Effective for claims with dates of service on or after March 1, 2020 and for the duration of this COVID-19 PHE, clinical indications for coverage found in respiratory, infusion pump, and therapeutic continuous glucose monitor NCDs or LCDs will not be enforced. These NCDs and LCDs include:
Home Oxygen (NCD 240.2)
Infusion Pumps (NCD 280.14)
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (NCD 240.4)
Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilator (NCD 240.5)
Durable Medical Equipment Reference List (NCD 280.1) – Only clinical indications for ventilators are not enforced
Oxygen and Oxygen Equipment (L33797)
Positive Airway Pressure Devices for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (L33718)
Oral Appliances for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (L33611)
Respiratory Assist Devices (L33800)
Mechanical In-exsufflation Devices (L33795)
High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (L33785)
Nebulizers (L33370)
Suction Pumps (L33612) – Only clinical indications for respiratory suction pumps (E0600) are not enforced
Glucose Monitors (L33822) – Only clinical indications for Therapeutic Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) are not enforced
External Infusion Pumps (L33794)
Treating practitioners and suppliers must still:
Provide a standard written order (SWO) for all items. For PMDs, the treating practitioner must document and communicate to the DMEPOS supplier that the treating practitioner has had a face-to-face encounter with the beneficiary within the 6 months preceding the date of the written order/prescription, per section 1834(a)(1)(E)(iv) of the Act;
Ensure that the items or services are reasonable and necessary;
Continue documenting the medical necessity for all services. Accordingly, the medical record must be sufficient to support payment for the services billed (that is, the services were actually provided, were provided at the level billed, and were medically necessary);
Make documentation available, upon request.
This enforcement discretion will only apply during the COVID-19 PHE. At the conclusion of the COVID-19 PHE, the DME MACs will return to enforcement of the clinical indications for coverage.
Requirements for Consultations or Services Furnished by or Supervised by a Particular Medical Practitioner or Specialist
Effective for claims with dates of service on or after March 1, 2020 and for the duration of the COVID-19 PHE, to the extent NCDs and LCDs require a specific practitioner type or physician specialty to furnish a service, procedure or any portion thereof, the chief medical officer or equivalent of the facility can authorize another physician specialty or other practitioner type to meet those requirements. Additionally, to the extent NCDs and LCDs require a physician or physician specialty to supervise other practitioners, professionals or qualified personnel, the chief medical officer of the facility can authorize that such supervision requirements do not apply during the COVID-19 PHE.
Claim Instructions
Suppliers should continue to use the appropriate modifiers, including the KX and/or CG modifier where applicable, for all HCPCS codes included in the NCDs and LCDs listed above. In addition, the CR modifier (CATASTROPHE/DISASTER RELATED) should be added to the HCPCS code(s) billed. Finally, suppliers are instructed to enter "COVID-19" in the NTE 2400 (line note) or NTE 2300 (claim note) segments of the American National Standard Institute (ANSI X12) format or field 390-BM of the National Council for Prescription Drug Program (NCPDP) format. These abbreviations may also be used in Item 19 of the CMS-1500 claim form.
In addition, to ensure that the requirements of the Durable Medical Equipment benefit are met, and that claims payment will be made correctly, if the external infusion pump is still in the capped rental period, drug(s) administered with the external infusion pump should be billed on the same claim as the pump.
CMN and DIF Instructions – Oxygen (Form CMS 484.3) and External Infusion Pumps (Form 10125)
CMS-1744-IFC stated that CMS would exercise enforcement discretion for clinical indications of coverage for the oxygen NCDs and LCDs during the PHE. Numerous fields on the Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) for oxygen are directly related to the clinical indications. After carefully reviewing the CMN and the related claims processing issues that would result from having missing information or having clinical information for which the form was intended, CMS has determined that requirements for a CMN for oxygen claims will not be enforced during the COVID-19 PHE. Suppliers should follow the guidance in the Claim Instruction section above for oxygen claims.
The same concerns that apply to the oxygen CMN also apply to the external infusion pumps (EIPs). Therefore, requirements for submission of a DIF will not be enforced for EIP claims. Suppliers should follow the guidance in the Claim Instruction section above for EIP claims.
Suppliers and providers should use the following ICD-10 codes on all claims for DMEPOS associated with treatment of COVID-19-related illness:
For claims with dates of service before April 1, 2020, suppliers and providers should enter two ICD-10 codes on the claim. The first code entered should be used to describe the clinical diagnosis (pneumonia, bronchitis etc.). The second code entered should be B97.29 (OTHER CORONAVIRUS AS THE CAUSE OF DISEASES CLASSIFIED ELSEWHERE).
For claims with dates of service on or after April 1, 2020, suppliers and providers should enter ICD-10 code U07.1 (COVID-19) on the claim.
Added non-enforcement of clinical indications of coverage for ventilators at DME Reference List (NCD 280.1) and suction pumps LCD L33612 (respiratory suction only); updated the Claim Instructions section to reference "CG" as a modifier for use where applicable
Revised language in the first bullet under "Treating practitioners and suppliers must still:" to clarify the timing of the face-to-face encounter in relation to the SWO

Solo or Group Practice: Which is Better?
His point is well taken and I have learned much from this philosophy. When you practice in a group, you are influenced by the energy of the others in the room and this isn't always a good thing. A new practitioner's nervous energy, for instance, might throw your balance off. Or you may find yourself comparing your practice to that of other people or trying to inadvertently imitate theirs. Perhaps you are even learning something incorrectly because you are watching the way someone else approaches it (incorrectly). Developing a home practice had huge benefits for me in terms of the depth in which I was able to approach yoga, and also in terms of teaching myself some internal discipline.
Personally, I find reward in both group and solo practice, and utilize them both for different reasons and at different junctures in my life and practice. What about you? Do you prefer to practice at home alone? Or in a room with a lot of people? (Or in a room with a few people?) What are the benefits and downsides to each one? And, if you are a teacher, do you prefer to teach privates or large groups? Write in and tell us what you think!
My solo practice is necessary for cost minimization: I want to practice a little but every day, but can't drop $17 for the privilege of a daily class. That'd be about $120/week. No way.
True re price comparisons if looked at that way.
However the way I was taught (and teach) is that you are given a personally designed practice for home use and then check in with the teacher as to what arises from it for refinement or development.
Thus , depending on your health situation, need for support, or self practice skills you may meet perhaps weekly or perhaps even monthly.
A bit like any art form, such as piano, where home practice is essential to perfect the art.
I do wonder if many of the 121 style situations are in reality a group class for one rather than a lesson to develop an independent home practice in terms of both process and content?
It's like learning to swim. First of all you hold onto the pole as you're being dragged through the water by the instructor. Eventually you let go of the pole and swim, being watched and receiving verbal instruction, but at some-point to truly explore and experience the depth that swimming has to offer, you have to leave the pool and go into the ocean on your own… and survive.
Looking at modern practice trends it appears as if it is much more difficult for many students to practice at home amidst the distractions and self responsibility priorities.
As one student said when asked about home practice "I am too busy for home practice what with going to four classes a week" another experienced group student said "I would not know what to do".
I also observe that many activities require some sort of symbolic companion or authority figure telling you what to do. Hence the popularity of DVD's, Relaxation Tapes, TV Programmes, even Wii software style virtual teachers to imitate or tell you what to do.
Another influence is the need to go out to do something rather than stay in and separate oneself from the 'flow' within the home environment.
A few ideas here for sacred cow readers to chew the cud over.
I could write more about the psychological aspects such as self esteem, self authority, self guidance, even male autistic tendencies along with other factors such as the gender issues (psychological and physiological) which influence this modern phenomena of adult group classes in relation to self learning and other teaching.
My own study background as an apprentice in India of TKV Desikachar over 25 years is that group classes for āsana were for children and 121's and personal practice were for adults. especially when evolving our Yoga practice to accommodate the many practices that go beyond āsana.
Along with the reflection that all of my lessons with my teacher were individual and all of the practices taught were for home use and I did not ever have one group practice class with my teacher whilst studying with him in India.
Also interesting to reflect that two of Krishnamacharya's students, now most esteemed teachers were themselves taught Yoga when children and thus were taught within a group class setting.
Does raise the question of not teaching Yoga the way it applies to you, but teaching Yoga as it applies to the other – a favourite quote from Krishnamacharya.
Happy ruminations and hopefully my offerings will not attract too many cow pats from readers!
Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply, Paul!
I think learning how not to be influenced by the group is part of the practice.

It is difficult to imagine 'The X-Files' without the paranormal-obsessed FBI agent 'Fox Mulder'. The show gained cult status and David Duchovny, who played the character of Mulder, identified with his character even in real life. He quit his Ph.D. at Yale University to pursue a career in film and television. After a few average movies, he finally gained popularity with 'The X-Files'; a horror-drama show. The series gave him a big break and he was idolized by viewers and pop-culture enthusiasts. Agent Mulder's character gave him such fame that the actor could not find better work which would give him the same appreciation and popularity. Finally, after quitting the show, he worked in a number of films and television series and even tried his hand at direction with 'House of D'. However, he did not gain the same commercial success. He was finally noticed again for his role as 'Hank Moody' in the TV series, 'Californication'. The show, following the life of a womanizing writer, became an instant hit with its unusual humour and his brilliant acting won him a prestigious award.

Altoona Mayor Matt Pacifico on walking routes, property taxes, and downtown struggles
Kate Lao Shaffner
"Five Questions with …" is a regular Keystone Crossroads feature where we seek to glean wisdom and ideas from some of Pennsylvania's top urban thinkers and doers.
Q: Tell us about an amenity or service that you've seen in your travels to other places that you wish you could bring back to Altoona.
A: Philadelphia is a very walkable city, I would like to see Altoona become more walker and biker friendly. More bike paths and walking routes in the downtown area would be great to have. A fellow councilman even suggested a walking "route" in the downtown with mile markers posted so you knew how far you were walking/jogging.
Q: What's one urban improvement idea that you could categorize as "nice try but didn't work"?
A: I think when we decided to go 100 percent Land Value Tax, it missed the mark on what it was intended to do. It was supposed to motivate homeowners to want to improve their dwellings without seeing their property taxes go up from the city, but a lot of homeowners in the city are unaware of how it works. So I don't think it was properly promoted. For instance, you could build a $3 million house on a two acre parcel of land, and you're only taxed by the city on the value of the land, and not the structure on it. However, the school district and the county still tax you by the structure, so it can be very confusing. If those two taxing bodies were also able to tax based on LVT, then it could have the right effect, but they are not.
Q: Describe a person in your community who is a "spark" — someone who seems to get things done and inspire people.
A: I would have to say Chancellor Lori Bechtel-Wherry from Penn State Altoona. She cares greatly about the city and loves to give back in any way that she can. And it shows by the way they are molding the downtown with a greater presence of classrooms, and students who are populating the area.
Q: What flaw or habit does your city/community have that you would like to see change?
A: I wish more residents could see what a great city we have. There are a lot of positive things on the horizon for us, that will get Altoona back on a successful path. Every city is facing the same challenges and problems that we are, some are just on a larger scale.
Q: Tell us about a movie or book that depicts, in a way that grabbed your attention, how a city can thrive or fail.
A: Saving America's Cities by David McDonald. The author reached out to me and sent me a copy of his book because he heard through a mutual friend the struggles we were facing with our downtown. I learned so much from reading it, and I would encourage others to also check it out.
Is there someone you know who thinks hard about cities and knows how to get things done? Someone whom Keystone Crossroads should spend "Five Questions with …" Please let us know in the comment sections below or via Facebook or Twitter @Pacrossroads.

Most people would probably agree that a good chunk of Boost Mobile's phone offerings tend to be mostly candy bar phones that look to be lost in a time warp. Luckily though, there are some that offer some additional modern offerings to break the common conception that these push-to-talk phones are rugged pieces of hardware that lack variety. Thankfully though, the Sanyo Juno is headed to their lineup to offer a decent text messaging experience that won't break the bank. Already available on Sprint's lineup as the Sanyo SCP-2700, the Sanyo Juno is the same exact device except for its re-branded name. Following in the same footsteps, it'll sport an attractive price that won't leave you being too frugal after purchasing it. Although it'll be available to purchase online soon, you'll only need to collect $99.99 between now and the time it is released to get yourself a unit – then again, it shouldn't be too bad considering you won't be tethered down with a contract.
any chance your store is in NY? i've been trying to get one but cant.
Does anyone know how to clear the text history of texts made? Not the actual message but when you click on text it stores the last numbers texted I need to know how to clear these numbers out.
Does anyone know if you can offload the pictures from a Juno? I can't find how to do it.
