The role of the voluntary sector is vital, says Stephen Cook, but public service reform may benefit the private sector more
In a speech he made last week to mark 25 years of the chief executives body Acevo, its leader, Sir Stephen Bubb, looked both backwards and forwards - back to the "astonishing growth" of the sector in the past quarter of a century, and forwards to a much less rosy picture.
He saw the cuts continuing into the next parliament, power devolved with insufficient accountability and the gulf increasing between the haves and have-nots. "Over the next decade and more, we risk creating a forgotten Britain in the midst of one of the richest countries in the world," he said.
Bubb is right to say that it is the job of the sector to speak up for those who will be hit hardest by the cuts, to find new ways to provide support and to work in partnership with other sectors to tackle deep-seated social problems. His call for "responsible business" is relevant here.
He is also on to something important when he calls for action to "plug the scrutiny deficit emerging with localism". Fewer than a third of the registered electorate voted at the recent local elections, and local media are getting weaker. Who is going to invigilate the devolution of power to local communities that the government is trying to promote? Perhaps the sector will have a role here too.
But the centrepiece of Bubb's prescription for avoiding the spectre of a forgotten Britain is his call for the government to rediscover its urgency on public sector reform - and this is much more complex. Such urgency is not discernible in last week's Queen's Speech and the recent Cabinet Office update of the Open Public Services white paper. Why would an already beleaguered administration court another scrap with the public service unions as the next election approaches?
Experience also suggests (think of the Work Programme, for example) that the opening up of public services is more likely to let in the private than the voluntary sector. That's not always a bad thing in terms of efficiency, but preventing a forgotten Britain is not the usually the private sector's main priority.

- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Several years of snooze-worthy winter meetings finally gave way this offseason to a flurry of activity. Teams spent their time in San Diego snatching up top-tier free agents and discussing trades, leaving members of the media scrambling to beat each other to scoops that were about to be rendered moot either by each other or the teams themselves. And I wish that wasn’t how this all worked.
The frenzy around who-plays-where rumors and the people who tweet them has become one of the foundational features of the sports media landscape. And it’s impossible to criticize the reporters who traffic in transactions, even as collateral damage, without warranting accusations of un-self-aware jealousy. I didn’t break the Gerrit Cole news — couldn’t if I tried — but then again, do you remember who did? And even if he (it was a he, wasn’t it?) hadn’t, Cole would still be a New York Yankee. The Yankees themselves would be more than thrilled to tell you about it. Maybe not last week, but certainly this week. Definitely before they play any more baseball games.
What’s so bad about that?
It’s not the baseball calendar we’re used to, but imagine a parallel universe in which no roster moves are reported during the winter and we all count down to The Big Reveal at the beginning of spring training. Entrances would become showpieces and social media fodder. Players would practically be forced to show off their personality, and the whole thing would feel almost NBA-esque in its pomp and circumstance.
Oh, it sounds maddening in comparison to what we have now — with the trickle of incremental information and misleading speculation that fuels news cycles and keeps us all employed through the offseason — but I don’t believe it would be materially worse from a fan perspective. And in abdicating this particular editorial oversight of the baseball narrative, reporters would free themselves from the hot stove rat race and the front office congeniality it requires.
I’m not complaining because I think the media members who chase free agent signings and trade news are bad reporters. I’m complaining because I think they’re good reporters whose talents are wasted trying to one-up each other in publicizing information that teams want out there anyway. (Either way, a moment of due respect to the originators of the salary scoop who are responsible for our modern expectation of relative financial transparency.)
The increasing value placed on being the first to report something that either doesn’t matter or will soon be public skews the entire baseball media ecosystem in such a way that it’s entirely too easy to suppress more important, less savory stories.
And here’s the thing, it’s not even the announcement of actual done deals that’s a problem — they are, objectively, “news” that people are eager to know — but rather the trickle-down effect of dozens of reporters chasing the chance to tweet that the Dodgers or Angels were “talking to Gerrit Cole.” Or even the postmortems on how they made him an offer, the parade of reports that your favorite team almost did something exciting.
These are not newsworthy, they don’t matter, their value only exists because of a media economy that so disproportionately rewards transactional news. And imbuing all these non-notable pseudo-scoops with value — regardless of whether they’re even accurate (!) — thereby imbues the gatekeepers of this kind of information with an outsized amount of power. If teams that fail to secure a blockbuster acquisition want to placate fans by broadcasting their unsuccessful efforts, let them do so on their own feeds.
Reporters are always going to rely on the favors or self-serving motivations of front office personnel and agents to a certain extent, but this is one genre of news in which we can fully eradicate those shackles without any disservice to fans.
We can make teams report their own roster moves.
It’s honestly an incredible coup by teams and agents and the league that they’ve convinced the baseball-consuming universe that reporters should remain indebted to them for the sake of tweeting anonymously sourced intentional misinformation, at worst, and something the team was about to announce anyway at best. Everyone who leaks anything does so to manipulate the market or make themselves look better to their fanbases. Reporters don’t have to be a party to that by serving as mouthpieces for GMs who want to assure their ticket buyers that they really tried to add a meaningful piece this offseason.
Notes from the baseball internet
‘We’d heard whispers of some of the shady stuff’: Alex Wood opens up about pitching in Minute Maid Park in 2017, Andy McCullough at The Athletic
Sign-stealing dominates the storylines this offseason, as it should. Unfortunately it’s tough to top the cinematic drama of the initial reports of the Astros’ wrongdoing. There is plenty of content to be mined from parsing the particular evolution of rules regarding game-time technology, but breaking out of that narrow view to talk to the one pitcher who beat the Astros at home in the 2017 postseason delivers a much more emphatic and human story that helps to explain the stakes of what the Astros did.
Red Sox, Yanks, Cubs sent 2019 luxury tax bills, Ronald Blum at the Associated Press
This is an incredibly dense, numbers-filled breakdown of the 2019 payroll information obtained by the AP, which includes the specific (relatively insignificant) ramifications for the three teams that were over the competitive balance tax threshold as well as this commentary on the league’s salary disparity (which is often masked by how much time and attention is spent on the record-breaking deals): “The top 50 players averaged $24.1 million while the listed major league salary of the roughly other 1,500 players who spent at least one day on a big league roster this year averaged $2.4 million.”
The Giants viewed Madison Bumgarner through a lens of cost-benefit analysis; it’s tougher to account for nostalgia, Grant Brisbee at The Athletic
Madison Bumgarner is no longer a Giant and this piece attempts to grapple with both the analytics and nostalgia without casting aspersions on either, and while also holding the front office accountable for the fact they could have paid him if they really wanted to.
Astros re-sign Joe Smith on 2-year deal, Alyson Footer at MLB.com
Going into the winter meetings I wondered whether geography ever actually played a role in where a player chooses to sign or stay. And this relatively routine roster update includes a particularly poignant example of when location really does matter. Smith and his wife Allie LaForce are staying in Houston because that’s where the team of doctors who are helping them get pregnant despite Smith’s family history of Huntington’s disease are. The way that baseball as a career intersects with the other realities of life is fascinating and frankly under-explored.

Using Land to Promote Urban Economic Growth in China
AbstractThis paper investigates the economic incentives for urban spatial expansion in China by estimating the value of urban land using an econometric model applied to data from the 220 largest Chinese cities for the period 1996-2003. The results are consistent with the proposition that the rapid rate of urban spatial expansion resulted from a combination of fiscal pressure on local governments and governance reforms that gave local governments greater control over land and investment policies. The estimated parameters of the model indicate that urban land generates far more than income per unit area than agriculture in eastern and central China, suggesting that local governments can profit substantially from conversion of farmland to urban use. The value of urban land in those regions increased in the period after 1999, an outcome that could be attributable to increased demand for land to accommodate economic growth, delayed development of land set aside speculatively into economic/industrial development zones, and/or implementation of stricter administrative controls on farmland conversion that restricted the supply of land for urban uses. Urban land appeared to have a low economic value in western China, a region that, taken as a whole, has lagged in terms of economic growth. The estimated parameters of the model are consistent with findings of previous studies regarding returns on foreign direct investment, domestic Chinese investment, and labor productivity.

The agreement will see Heriot-Watt University’s Medical Device Manufacturing Centre (MDMC) collaborate with InnoScot Health to realise innovations from healthcare professionals, focussing initially on identifying new healthcare technologies and the development of prototype medical devices by engaging with clinicians, doctors, nurses, and engineering students.
“This mutually beneficial agreement builds on our successful long-standing relationship with Heriot-Watt University and pools our significant collective expertise,” said Graham Watson, executive chair of InnoScot Health. “It is a landmark moment that will serve to accelerate medical and healthcare opportunities in the first instance with vast possibilities thereafter.”
The MDMC helps Scotland’s SMEs to translate medical device concepts into commercial products by offering free advice on, and access to, manufacturing, engineering, regulatory issues and funding. InnoScot Health works in partnership with NHS Scotland, providing intellectual property advice, regulatory expertise, and project management services to support the development and commercialisation of clinical products.
Professor Marc Desmulliez, manager of the MDMC at Heriot-Watt University, said: “Scotland is renowned for its innovation in health, pioneering techniques and medical devices that are now used worldwide.
“In just two years, the MDMC has created a unique business collaboration model, working with more than 60 companies, accelerating the progression of ideas to market and the adoption of medical devices into clinical settings. Specialist training is fundamental to our continued success, and we are confident this new strategic partnership will further accelerate Scotland’s innovative medtech SMEs, ultimately benefitting and improving patient care. We are looking forward to putting this partnership into practice.”
“Entrepreneurialism and collaboration lie at the heart of Heriot-Watt University,” said Dr Gillian Murray, deputy principal for business and enterprise at Heriot-Watt University. “This partnership has enormous potential to positively impact Scotland’s medical device sector by working closely with clinical individuals and teams that have a first-hand understanding of our healthcare technology needs and the solutions needed to meet them.”

Veteran’s Face Department Cutbacks and Loss of Popular Ombudsman
August 19th, 2010 - 4:00am
The Conservative Government has recently committed to stripping services from veterans who have admirably served our country. The Department of Veterans Affairs is the subject of two current controversies, both of which have been imposed on it by our government.
The first came from Veteran’s Affairs Minister, Jean-Pierre Blackburn, who said that the department will need to shrink as a result of 1,500 of the remaining 150,000 veterans of the Second World War and Korean War passing away monthly. While this is an unfortunate reality, Blackburn has not commented on any of the other major conflicts and peacekeeping missions Canadian veterans have taken part in, including the veterans of peacekeeping missions in Rwanda, Haiti, and Kosovo, the War in Afghanistan, or many of the other missions our Canadian Forces have taken part in since Korea. He also neglected to indicate that the RCMP falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well.
In fact, there are over 700,000 individuals currently eligible for services through the Department of Veterans Affairs. There has been a sharp increase for service requests from veterans of recent combat missions who are suffering from injuries or mental health problems, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, creating increased workloads for civil servants at the DVA, and a backlog of requests from vets seeking assistance. Blackburn, in a recent article in CBC, stated “I'm just saying if we have less veterans, we should have less employees too.” This mentality is completely unreasonable, and stands in stark contrast to the Conservatives standard pro-military stance. It’s one thing to stand up for soldiers in wartime, it’s quite another to honour our veterans with the care and support they deserve when they return to Canadian soil.
The other major issue comes with the Conservatives’ refusal to renew the term of employment for Veterans Affairs Ombudsman, Colonel Pat Stogran - one of the most prominent critics of the bureaucracy veterans are forced to deal with to receive pensions and benefits. Stogran has been outspoken on behalf of all veterans who have fought for our country. In a recent press conference after the news fell that his contract would not be renewed, Stogran raised significant questions about how modern veterans are being treated by this and previous governments. Blackburn has refused to comment on why Stogran’s contract was not being renewed, while veterans have openly protested Stogran’s departure.
During the press conference, Stogran said "it is beyond my comprehension how the system could knowingly deny so many of our veterans the services and benefits that the people and the government of Canada recognized a long, long time ago as being their obligation to provide." He has been especially vocal about the treatment of modern veterans, and the difficulties they face trying to gain access to appropriate benefits. One of those sitting with Stogran at the press conference was disabled veteran Dennis Manuge, who has headed a class-action lawsuit against the government representing 6,500 veterans fighting the clawback of disability pension payments by the federal government. While Manuge’s battle is certainly admirable, it isn’t one that any veteran should have to fight.
‘Support Our Troops’ is a mantra the Harper government likes to use freely, but when it comes time to actually support those who return from combat, they seem to have no problem leaving them behind.

BUFFALO GAP — Seven years since its inception, the world is taking notice of a food and wine event in a town of a few hundred people.
"It appears this year has been the banner year for enthusiasm," said Lisa Perini, one of the founders of the event. "The chefs, winemakers, media and, thankfully, attendees, they've all really caught on."
Saturday served as the main attraction for the Buffalo Gap Wine & Food Summit, held annually by Lisa Perini and her husband, Tom, at Perini Ranch Steakhouse.
The Summit began as a chance to not only celebrate Texas wines, but encourage education and foster relationships among winemakers and chefs.
It's a learning opportunity for all involved, she said.
"If the winemakers are learning something," she said, "imagine what the consumers are learning?"
The New York Times boasted that this year's Summit is "the culinary event of the year in Texas", but Lisa Perini said the intention was to keep it intimate, and that still is intact.
"Since it started, we've been so excited to share it with our friends," she said of the three-day wine and food festival that is as big on friendliness as it is on fine wines.
This year's event featured Jacques Pepin. A long list of the chef's successes includes author of 26 cookbooks and serving as the host of 11 television cooking series. He and his daughter, Claudine, appeared Saturday to present two cooking demonstrations.
Jacques and his daughter cooked a meal that included chicken supremes with tapenade and mushroom sauce, mini savory cheesecakes on butterhead lettuce and skillet apple charlotte for dessert.
Guests were allowed to ask the cooks questions, some choosing to ask personal things while others kept questions food-related.
When asked his take on "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking," Jacques Pepin chuckled. He said he tried to read one volume of the six-volume set priced at $625 but, "I don't know what they're talking about."
The Pepins sipped champagne, which he referred to as "life in a glass," while they cooked but only after Claudine Pepin wowed the crowd by opening the bottle with a saber.
The pair provided tons of tips, from the most effective way to crack garlic to what type of white wine is good for cooking.
Although Claudine Pepin has had extensive experience in the kitchen — appearing on more than 100 television shows with her dad, her "Papa", as she calls him,is still in charge in the kitchen.
Many in attendance were giddy over Jacques Pepin's visit to shady Buffalo Gap, Lisa Perini included.
"Before it was cool to be a TV personality," she said, "he was cool."
Lisa Perini said he affected her personally long before he was asked to appear at the event. In fact, it was a cooking demonstration she saw him do once at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen that "forever changed the way I crack eggs."
Saturday's events included a panel of 18 winemakers conducting a blind taste test of the wines and an evening dinner and dance that represented food from more than a dozen chefs.
The Summit ends today with a bid-adieu brunch at the Perinis' famous steakhouse.

I would like to introduce you to Just a Thought.
The really big life-changing breakthroughs we experience in our lives sometimes begin as tiny thoughts planted in our brains by someone else who has had a breakthrough, kinda like finding an oasis in a desert. It is when we pass on these tiny thoughts that are crystallizations of real experiences that we save one another.
Think about these small thoughts for a moment!
You only hit bottom when you quit digging.
We build our own cages.
You cannot lose what is not yours.
It is always darkest before the dawn.
There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
If you carry the bricks of your past with you, you will build the same house.
You have everything you need to be happy.
You only lose what you cling to.
You are as free as you decide to be.
You never arrive at happiness; you just learn to live it.
Change is the only constant in life, might as well get used to it now.
I can think back to a specific time and place where a friend, associate or total stranger shared with me a story that lit up one of these tiny thoughts.
Like the time after my first AA meeting.
I was invited out to dinner by these guys who took note of the fact I was a newcomer. It was June 14, 1985, I was 36 years old and my life was in a shambles. We ate at the very restaurant that I owned at the time (and that would close six weeks later).
I sat next to a guy at dinner who couldn’t have been less like me. The kind of guy who, the night before, I would have paid no mind. A man of few words, a tradesman, a carpenter who ran a small construction company that specialized in building foundations.
At that time I knew him only as Gary. After we ordered our food I turned to Gary and asked him how long he’d been going to these AA meetings. He said, “Nine years,” and I thought to myself “Wow, nine years! That’s a long time and a lot of meetings.” I then asked, “How long do you have to go to meetings?” He said, “Just long enough to where you like the meetings and forget the question of how long you have to go to meetings.”
Now, I thought to myself, that was an answer I’d need to think about.
I then shared with him a question that had been troubling me for some time. In fact, it was the question that had hung me up about even starting this AA program, and that was the question about hitting bottom. I always heard that, for us drinkers, AA was the place you’d land when you hit bottom. My image of an AA meeting was a dingy, half-lit room in a church basement, filled with winos, crackheads, street walkers and ex-cons commiserating over their dead end lives. The meeting I’d just attended was nothing like that. My first AA meeting was populated by individuals from a cross-section of social and economic backgrounds. They were people just like me.
So this burning question for which I needed an answer I put to this tradesman with nine years of sobriety:
How do you know when you’ve hit bottom?
Gary turned and looked at me without pondering my question and said:
YOU QUIT DIGGING.
Gary then shared his story with me for the next three hours. The stuff that most of us hide away in locked memory boxes flowed from him like water. His honesty and willingness to share allowed me to do the same and before the night was over I understood what he meant by “You quit digging.” Finally, it all made sense to me that I had at my disposal the means to pick up the pieces of my shattered life and start over. It all began with:
This jewel of an insight
This revolutionary concept
It was to be the little thought that would rock my world and set me upon a new path.
The journey that has ensued since I first heard this thought has lasted over 30 years and continues to this very day to inform my life.
That’s what Just a Thought is all about – the sharing of simple, everyday life experience that when fully absorbed has the potential to change the course of a person’s life.
You have had them just like I have. I’m excited for Just a Thought to become a conversation. Initially, posts will come out twice a week. Feel free to comment and join in dialogue together. Please keep comments respectful; remember that all of us are broken souls who can benefit from our collective wisdom and encouragement.
And in so doing, light a little candle in the life of another who currently is without light.
Just a thought…

Rep. Tony Tinderholt (TP- Headcase City) has filed a complaint with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct against Travis County District Judge David Wahlberg who recently ordered the Travis County Clerk to issue a marriage license to a long-time gay couple with two children. Tinderholt is understandably concerned about the sanctity of the institution of marriage – apparently having been married five (5) times himself. Tinderholt obviously believes that marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman – at least until he gets tired of his current wife or vice versa.
Tinderholt has complained that Judge Wahlberg failed to give notice to the Texas Attorney General’s office before issuing his order. One problem – Wahlberg was not the judge in the court where the constitutionality of Texas’ ban on same sex marriage was challenged. That was in a case before Probate Court Judge Guy Hermann. Texas litigants are required to notify the Attorney General when challenging a Texas statute on constitutional grounds and that was done in the probate case. The AG declined to intervene and the case proceeded. Wahlberg was acting on a request based on the prior ruling. It seems highly unlikely that any action will be taken against Wahlberg.
And the current over/under on Tinderholt’s latest marriage – Red is putting that at 3.5 years and going short.

Expert Illustrations & Commentaries Live: The Future of JAK/TYK2 Inhibition in the Treatment of Psoriasis
February 18, 2022
February 18, 2023
Scroll to the Bottom of this Information to Begin this Course
This activity is provided by Physicians’ Education Resource®, LLC.
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Bristol Myers Squibb
- Physicians — maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™
- Nurses — 1.0 Contact Hours
All other healthcare professionals completing this course will be issued a statement of participation.
This educational activity is directed toward the dermatologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who treat patients with dermatologic conditions.
This online, on-demand virtual symposium brings together renowned experts in dermatology to discuss newer treatments for patients with psoriasis. Psoriasis has no clearly defined cause or cure, but it does have a significant impact on quality of life. It is now recognized as a systemic disease associated with psoriatic arthritis and other serious comorbidities. The critical pathogenic pathway in psoriasis is considered to be the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis. This pathway uses the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway to transduce intracellular signals. Although small molecules that block the JAK/STAT pathway and reduce inflammation have been developed, their relative nonspecific nature and toxicity have hindered their use in patients with psoriasis. Current research is focused on tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitors, which have more favorable efficacy and safety profiles.
In this CME activity, a panel of experts discusses treatment options for patients with psoriasis, focusing on newer TYK2 inhibitors. The program includes a short, animated video that illustrates the mechanism of action of newer therapeutic agents in psoriasis.
This educational activity is an archive of the live virtual symposium, held on January 25, 2022.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Describe the etiology, pathophysiology, and important considerations in the diagnosis of psoriasis.
- Evaluate the latest data on the efficacy, safety, dosing, and administration of novel TYK2 inhibitors for patients with psoriasis.
- Integrate targeted TYK2 inhibitors into the treatment of psoriasis.

Answer: Yes, if you till or hoe a small garden you are basically spreading the disease spores around. Rotating crops still has a benefit, but less so in a small garden. Septoria leaf spot is an endemic disease. This means it is always around, but is worse in year's with the right environmental conditions. Mulching helps slow the onset of this disease and spacing the plants further apart also helps.

Attack on Titan fan manga project “AoT no Requiem” have released a second chapter.
Hajime Isayama’s work Attack on Titan series ended on April 9 with the release of the final chapter 139. As expected, fans of Attack on Titan were not on the same page about how the manga series should have ended.
What is alternate fan ending?
There are many alternate popular endings to Attack on Titan series. One of the alternate ending is, Akatsuki no Requeim ending. It was one of the famous endings theorized by fans and now some fans are working together to not only produce an alternate manga ending but also an animation project.
“AoT no Requiem explores an alternate ending to the canon material. Based on the “Akatsuki no Requiem” music video, this doujinshi serves as a rewrite of the final three chapters of Attack on titan (137, 138, 139). It is one long chapter updated in parts, following the events of the previous chapters contained within the source material (1-136). AoT no Requiem is created by diverse fans who share a strong passion for Isayama’s work. Please continue to show support for the Attack on Titan franchise by following official release.”
First part of the Akatsuki no Requeim (alternate ending) was released on May 29, 2021, according to the official twitter handle of AotnoRequiem. The second chapter of the (fan) manga was released on Sept 10.
What 2nd chapter is about?
The 2nd chapter of Akatsuki no Requiem focuses more on the character development rather than fighting scenes. We get to see more of Historia and Eren’s relationship. Armin confronts Eren in the paths about what Eren is going to do is wrong and there must be another option to save paradise.
You can read the 2nd chapter on the AoT no Requiem website.
What is Akatsuki no Requiem?
*While reading ahead, please keep in mind that there will be potential spoilers.
According to AnK theory, Eren wins the final fight against the alliance. He eradicates all the threats to paradise and lives out rest of his life alongside Historia and their child. Due to no external threats, Paradise finally achieves peace.
We also conducted an interview with the team behind this fan project, where they explained why they decided to make this fan ending.


It uses 1-1.2 gal an hour. The engine seems to have plenty of power and its really smooth running. I was hesitant about the cyclonic before I got to try one because everyone was sold on the vangaurd. But within the first minute of mowing I would not hesitate again on getting the cyclonic. I have not even started our tractor this year LOL I think I am not going to need it too much any more. I think the 3100 will do 12 mph and the 2000 is 10 mph. Mine has plenty enough power to mow at 10mph I have yet to slow the blade or bogg the engine at full speed.


The 2024 Nissan GT-R has a redesigned front and rear exterior plus new rear wing designs to enhance its aerodynamic performance. Nissan has also changed the available packages.

Though the days of watching live NFL games in 4K on ultra-high definition (UHD) sets seem far away, at least one team has invested in the cameras and more to shoot a weekly pre-game show as well as an original series created by an internal group of producers for wide scale viewing.

After years of limited availability and unclear eligibility requirements that frustrated many fans, it appears that the light at the end of the tunnel is no longer an oncoming train but rather wide scale and simplified access to no-dish NFL Sunday Ticket online as promised this past summer.

2015 is quickly shaping up as the year that defines the future of instant replay for the NFL. Why? Consider these two concurrent efforts:

Have you seen the movie Inception? Were you utterly confused? So was everyone else. The movie rocked, but the ending didn't make complete sense. Or at least it was confusing.
We searched the web to find an explanation for the ending of inception and here's the best we found:
Points that favor Cobb still being in a dream:
- Cobb's children are wearing the same clothes in their reunion that they have been wearing in Cobb's dreams throughout the movie.
- Cobb's children also haven't aged in comparison to his memories of them. This seems impossible as time has clearly passed since he was forced to leave the US.
- Cobb's top is still spinning as the movie cuts to credits. (But is it about to topple?)
Point that favors Cobb being awake:
- CinemaBlend points out that Cobb is shown wearing a wedding ring at the beginning of the movie, and that throughout the movie he is shown wearing a ring during dream sequences but not during reality sequences. At the end of the movie he is not wearing his ring.

The four - Saunders, businessman Gerald Ronson, financier Jack Lyons and stockbroker Anthony Parnes - claim that their 1990 trial, which ended with jail sentences, had been unfair.
They had been accused of playing a leading part in an illegal scheme to boost the value of Guinness shares in the runup to the company's £2.6bn takeover of Distillers in 1986. Since then they have fought remorselessly for what one defence lawyer described as 'a march to justice'.
In their appeal this month their lawyers had argued that the four had been robbed of their right to silence by being compelled by law to answer questions from Department of Trade inspectors that were used against them in the criminal trial.
Since their convictions at Southwark Crown Court the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that their trial had been unfair and the European Convention on Human Rights has been incorporated into English law.
But three Appeal Court judges, headed by Lord Justice Rose, said that the House of Lords had ruled that the human rights legislation could not be applied retrospectively in this case. On a separate issue, the judges also dismissed claims that the foreman of the jury had been offered a bribe, which was known to the police but had been kept secret from the trial judge.
Had their appeal succeeded, the Guinness Four would have been in line for tens of millions of pounds in compensation. Instead they face a huge legal bill with the judges ordering that 'in principle' the four must pay the Crown's costs on top of their estimated £1m defence bill.
The Guinness trial ended with Saunders being jailed for five years for false accounting, theft and conspiracy. His sentence was halved on appeal and he was released after serving only 10 months when the Appeal Court accepted doctors' advice that he was suffering from pre-senile dementia. Now a company consultant, he said that that diagnosis was mistaken.

Helmut Illner is one of the most well-known and influence luthier in string instruments village at Erlanger, Germany. He was born in a string family and deeply affected by his grandfather, the famous contemporary masters of violin.
In the early sixty, the war had begun in Czech. In these uncertain circumstances, Helmut’s family desired to leave. Due to the rule of the government, refugee only could carry one luggage so each member was forced to bring part of the most useful gears to escape from their mother country to West Germany. As far as they concerned with the most valuable moulds, those were honorable to preserve the family tradition.
Although his childhood was hard, his sincere attitude and eternal faith for string instruments made him never giving up his career and chose to face it optimistically.
Helmut’s instrument had reached to be professional level when he was in middle-aged. His workshop industry was being more and more popular and people adore music. According to preserve his instrumental character and promote it, he created the Germany brand SIR, it had already been built up a great renown with the instrument industry and violin enthusiasts. Since then, he embarked the instrument workshop and the brand SIR on a world-class master styling.
" Manchester International Cello Festival” , was organized by The Royal Northern College in Manchester, it had been hailed as Europe's most authoritative Violin Maker Competition. As a result, Helmut defeated more than thirty competitors from different countries and won the "Best of Sound " Award in 1992. The following year, Helmut submitted another cello to participate in the same competition. Once again, he won the best cello tone Awards. Helmut is the first luthier who won twice in same competition.
Helmut worked with professional knowledge and passion so that is the key why he could create numerous brilliant instruments successfully. Helmut has an excellent reputation, there are many uncountable cellists worldwide visiting and asking him to make an unique cello personally.

Unless you've boarded up the windows, stopped leaving the house, sealed your mailbox, kicked the tv in, unplugged the phone, dismantled the radio and used your Doc Martins to reboot your Mac/PC back to Scilicon Valley you'll probably have a slight inkling that it's going to be Christmas soon. In album release terms that means a Best Of for just about any band that's released more than one album and a few for some who haven't. It's that time of year when the forces of commerce arise from the darkness (or possibly The Darkness) to spread their evil throughout our homes. So we've decided to revamp the MMR slightly to include more single, movie, tv, and DVD releases over the jump. Let us know what you think, and remember folks, if anyone gives you a best of album for Christmas kick them in the teeth. Unless of course you asked for one in which case ask them to kick you in the teeth.
Right, on with the show and an unconventional, in Londonist music terms, album of the week.
Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir - Baltic Voices 3 (Harmonia Mundi)
Readers may recall how irritated and disappointed we were about the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir's program at the Proms in August. Though we didn't say it at the time, a large part of our disappointed stemmed from the failure of the concert to live up to the artistic standards set by the ensembles phenomenal CDs of mostly recent choral compositions, Baltic Voices 1 and 2. The third and final installment in this series, Baltic Voices 3, was released a week ago. In the liner notes, the choir's markedly un-Estonian director, Paul Hillier, claims that this disc is the "most varied in content" of the three. He could have added that it is also the most ass-kickingly fantastic.
Choral music suffers from a markedly lower reputation among those who fancy themselves interested in "serious" music — it is, even in Britain, associated with amateur performers and dumbed-down musical style. Even the more light-weight pieces on this disc, however, demand to be taken seriously. The oldest piece on the album, Erik Bergman's Vier Galgenlieder for "speaking choir" from 1960, consists of four short vignettes of shouting, chanting, and overly-theatrical reciting. They sound very... well, very 1960, which isn't necessarily a good thing. But it's entertaining and occasionally quite witty.
By way of contrast, second-oldest piece on the album, Statements from 1969 by Pelle Gudmunsen-Holmgreen (a composer we had never heard of) is also very of-its-time, but displays the kind of cool, conceptual rigor that makes us go weak in the knees — almost entirely consisting of a single musical line, with fragmentary musical material systematically repeated and recombined. The choir performs it with just the right blend of stillness and urgency. Perfect.
It's quite a leap to the newest work on the disc Meditatio by Erkki-Sven Tüür, written in 2003 and recorded here for the first time. (It is wrong how much we enjoy saying his name out loud?) The work is eighteen minutes of ecstatic Christian prose text in Latin set to wailing dissonances and accompanied by a saxophone quartet. Whenever the piece threatens to become a little too rambling, some strong musical idea jerks us back into the work's forceful trajectory. It is solid, dynamic, and dramatic all at once.
Another world premiere recording is Kaija Saariaho's Nuits, Adieux. (We always refer to this composer in writing as "Saaariaaahoo.") She originally wrote this piece for four solo singers and electronics, but then crafted a new version in which she transcribed the electronic sounds for a live chorus. There is no way that this should work, but it does. The hissing, buzzing and gasping of the choir are a mile away from the wit and humor of Bergman's spoken effects — rather than language deformed into music, Saariaho creates the effect of sound coalescing into language before your ears.
Other pieces on the disc are more conventionally "choral" — Górecki's folk song settings, Martinaitis's Alleluia — but performed with no less commitment and subtlety for that. The chorus's sound is something very special, both pitch-perfect and warmly expressive where required. The word "adult" repeatedly springs to mind. And it seems to us as if there is something ineffable about their sound which is recognizable whether they're whispering, singing, or screaming. Do not miss this. (G)
The Mars Volta - Scab Dates: Live (Island)
We initially backed the wrong horse when At The Drive In went belly up, but as much as we enjoyed the punky Sparta's 'Wiretap Scars' it was obvious from early on that The Mars Volta were going to be a lot more interesting and time consuming. Plus we've got a soft spot for blokes with girly singing voices so the combination of complicated musical weirdness with some Rush like vocals was always going to be a bit of a winner. So we were very excited when we got hold of Scab Dates a little while ago and held it up next to our deteriorating vinyl copies of It's Alive by The Ramones and Maiden's Live After Death - the high-water marks of live releases by which everything else is judged. We're happy to report that Scab Dates more than holds its own although for entirely different reasons.
Partly this is due to just how damn obtuse the Volta can be - there's no 'Gabba Gabba Hey Hey' or "Scream for me, Longbeach!" here - in fact the crowd noise is peculiarly absent either buried in the mix or perhaps it's just that the fans were atomised during the opening of Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt and the band just carried on regardless of the fact that sections of the audience were imploding under the weight of so many free jazz musical changes and simply bonkers sci fi/suicide influenced lyrics. Actually that's the only downside to the release in that we like a little 'You Can’t Do That On Stage Anymore' inspired banter when listening to something this musically charged.
At times it's hard to recognise this as a live album at all although it is quite different from the earlier releases in terms of rawness. There's also a fair amount of intricate twiddling that you'll either dismiss as navel gazing or constantly loop in an attempt to stimulate your pineal gland. If you haven't come across The Mars Volta before then this isn't the best album to start with, there's only really eight tracks here and the last one clocks in at just over 40 minutes - you may want to try snorting a little before you start looking for a nice fat vein in your genitalia to play with. If you're already a fan then you're not reading this anyway - too busy trying to build the interocitor from the instructions hidden in the lyrics that will open your path to Metaluna no doubt.
The biggest draw for fans is of course the fact that apart from the aforementioned Cerpin Taxt and Concertina from the Tremulant EP the only place to hear any of this up until now was live. The Volta don't feel it necessary to ape their studio releases live or record all their music in the studio... just another reason that they don't just stand out from the crowd, but rather hang in the air above them exactly the same way that bricks don't. Our recommendation is to just buy it - even if you secretly hate it at least people will think you're smart. Or you can show how little you trust us by going over to www dot themarsvolta dot com to stream the album via realplayer
Don't forget that they're also curating 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' All Tomorrow's Parties and will be messing around with the likes of The Fucking Champs and Acid Mothers Temple. Brains will melt. (MA)
Deftones - B-Sides And Rarities (Maverick)
As fans of the band will know, Deftones releases are few and far between, but always worth waiting for. In terms of creative diligence and attention to detail, they have more in common with the likes of Tool than their overblown nu-metal contemporaries Korn and Limp Bizkit. It's no secret that their biggest talent has always been their masterful understanding of dynamics, frontman Chino Moreno's strangled, wraithlike whisper ounterbalancing his tortured scream beautifully. Hence material from the 'Tones can generally be divided roughly into two camps - fragile or frenzied, soft or...erm...shouty - but always with a brooding malevolence lingering just below the surface.
Essentially, this is a stop-gap until the follow-up to 2003's self-titled fourth album appears, but it's certainly no rush-job. In fact, it's a generous two-disc set, comprising a CD of covers, acoustic takes and one previously unreleased artefact (Black Moon, with input from Cypress Hill's B-Real), and a DVD collecting the band's videos. There's also some bonus live material and interview footage, but let's face it, even breakfast cereals come with DVD extras these days, so let's forget about them.
On B-Sides And Rarities, Deftones wear their influences on their sleeves. Eight of these fourteen tracks are covers: some brilliant; some, sadly, not so. Whilst opener Savory is a rather fruitless carbon copy of Jawbox's original, we're treated to a punishing version of Helmet's Sinatra. The Cocteau Twins' Wax And Wane remains as creepy as ever, becoming all the more demented in Chino's deft (sorry) hands, and Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want takes the Deftones as close to up-tempo indie-pop as they're ever likely to get, and to good effect.
But once you've taken in stoner-rock treatments of Sade (No Ordinary Love), The Cure (If Only Tonight We Could Sleep) and Duran Duran (The Chauffeur), the eighties covers begin to grate a little. Thank God, therefore, for the glorious acoustic cuts of Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) and Change (In The House Of Flies), the two best-known Deftones singles. Haunting and heart-warming in equal measures, they'll provide the perfect soundtrack to the winter blues.
Good value though this compilation may be, the term 'Rarities' is slightly misleading. Any Deftones fans worth their salt will have heard - already own, even - approximately half of the first disc on offer here, while some fan favourites have been overlooked (the cover of Weezer's Say It Ain't So wouldn't have gone amiss). That said, the DVD more than makes up for these oversights.
B-Sides And Rarities is well worth a look on the whole, and if you're a Deftones newbie, this is a great place to start. (RB)
Kate Bush - Aerial, part 1: A Sea of Honey (EMI)
The first thing many of us heard about Kate Bush's new album Aerial was that there was going to be a song about her washing machine. And that that song would include the line "sloshy, sloshy, sloshy". And we were all like, 'we waited twelve years for "sloshy sloshy sloshy"?! Oh no she didn't!'.
What a surprise to discover that the song about the washing machine is, in fact the best track on the disc. Anyway, the washing machine in question is not, in fact, Kate Bush's. The song is sung in the voice of the Mrs. Bartolozzi of the song's title, a housewife for whom the sight of the swirling suds in her front-loader prompts an ecstatic vision of herself being swallowed in the surf, in union with the universe, set to a soaring melody. This 'oceanic' moment takes on sexual and masturbatory overtones, as the waves buffet her body and fish swim inside her. At this point, the purposefully banal advertising jingle "Sloshy, sloshy, sloshy / Get that dirty shirt-ie clean" appears at once a wrenching jolt back to earth, and a counterpoint making the housewife's fantasies of escape that much more poignant. The effect is intensified by the production, which presents the jingle as if from a great distance, in contrast to spare piano-and-voice arrangement of the rest of the track. Beautiful and complicated.
It's not clear to us why King of the Mountain was chosen as the first single, since it is, in our opinion, one of the weaker tracks, and for a very simple reason: we love Kate Bush for her melodies — she has a sense for unexpected, yet unforgettable melodies like no one in pop music this side of Joni Mitchell — but King of the Mountain? Well, it just ain't got no melody at all. Well hardly. Also, a friend of ours pointed out that the song had the faintest whiff of knock-off reggae about it (in his words, "I don't like reggae very much, and I like cod reggae even less".) The cod reggae is also in evidence in Joanni, and How to be Invisible indulges in a bit of cod blues-rock, like Kate Bush trying to be Melissa Etheridge. This is less than compelling.
A Coral Room, on the other hand, inhabits the same piano-heavy sound-world as Mrs. Bartolozzi, and is even more epic in construction. although we're still trying to work out what's going on in the lyrics, in a which her mother appears, singing "little brown jug," and perhaps also holding an actual jug, filled with milk, which then breaks, and spiders crawl out of it. Under the sea. Or something.
At last, the tracks Pi and Bertie recall the sheer wackiness of classic Kate Bush. Yes, in Pi she intones the digits of ?, against a gorgeous, spacious accompaniment. For Bertie she got some viole da gamba together for a proper renaissance dance. (As this is your classical Londonista writing, we feel compelled to point out that the dance in question bears the rhythmic signature of the sixteenth-century Italian canario. Sorry.) Why is she singing with lutes and viols? We do not know. But it is great song, yet another high point on a album with more than its fair share of them. Worth the wait... (G)
Kate Bush - Aerial, part 2: A Sky of Honey (EMI)
...And then there is the other half of the album, a concept album in which the songs flow into one another, and certain elements recur from track to track: birdsong, a child's voice, Rolf Harris. The shape of the narrative sketched out by the nine tracks follows the course of a day: the sun rises, the light changes, it rains, the sun sets, the night passes, the sun returns. In a sense, there is less variety here than in the other half. Shifts in texture and orchestration are less dramatic from track to track, and no individual song is as memorable or satisfying as Bertie, Mrs. Bartolozzi or Pi. But collectively they make an impact, and so (against our better judgement) here's a blow-by-blow:
The story starts out slowly, with a wacky little bird-song Prelude, and then a five-minute Prologue — with a discursive, rambling melody, over a subtle, unchanging electronic drone in the bass. The effect gets increasingly claustrophobic, and in the next track, An Architect's Dream, despite the jaunty latin percussion, the dark, static synth chords maintain the sense that something is being withheld. A glimpse of actual strings hint towards release in The Painter's Link, Rolf Harris's turn as a vocalist (probably best fast-forwarded through). But the full jazz orchestration of Sunset sounds like a moment of revelation, a window suddenly opened in a darkened room.
With that trajectory completed, the final half of the records goes from lightness to a passionate climax. Unfortunately, the track Somewhere in Between is, for us, the least listenable moment on the album, the one that most justifies its amazon.co.uk classification as "Adult Contemporary". Perhaps we're being unfair, but it sounds like a Sade cover. Skip to Nocturn, the eight-and-a-half-minute epic composition that begins with an incantation, and ends with a gospel-inflected cry to heaven, with a laid-back groove in the middle. Superior.
Then the title track of the entire double album. The birdsong re-appears, the electronic drone returns (Rolf Harris does not re-appear), and Ms Bush rocks out in a way she has not allowed herself to do in the album so far. The vocals are reminiscent of the wailing Kate Bush of yesteryear, but these vocals are placed in the back of the mix, and the track repeatedly turns away from the wailing and back towards the static background. It is as if Kate, having found her voice, finally departs from the album altogether, leaving us with only a transfigured version of the stasis of the album's prologue. The album ends with a minute of birdsong: the sun also rises, and the sun goeth down, and hastens to the place where it arose... (G)
Listen to both halves of Aerial streaming here.
Our single of the week is Four Day Hombre's 1000 Bulbs. This Leeds based quintet have been making a bit of a name for themsleves recently, slowly getting under the industry's skin with their forthcoming fan financed debut album, some strong live shows and a few friends on the radio. 1000 Bulbs sees them deliver the killing blow with a soaring slice of uplifting, radio-friendly, guitar-driven indie-pop that should rain down destruction upon all those who currently bask under Coldplay's shadow - you know who you are you cowards. Gentle melody, BIIIIIG chorus, genuine passion, nice video and world domination to follow please, or at least a spot supporting Elbow to start with. In the most unashamed way, we love the damn thing to pieces because there's some days when you need to stop being so cynical about life and revel in the line: tooth by tooth I will build a smile.
FDH hold their single launch party tomorrow night from 8 at the Hoxton Bar And Kitchen, which is as the name suggests, in Hoxton and you're all invited.
And while we're looking at the next generation of Coldplay killers, it's worth mentioning that The Fallout Trust are playing at the Garage tonight. Like if Mr Martin grew a pair of huge hairy cojones and discovered RAWK. (MM)
For those of you who were at last night's Turin Brakes show at the Palladium or those of you who just love Turin Brakes the entire show will be available to download from their site as of this afternoon (so anytime between midday and Tuesday depending on hardware failures etc). Oh and you can while away a few hours on the site while you're waiting for it to download listening to an instrumental version of JackInABox. (MM)
You'll probably only be buying the four disc Live8 DVD if you either want a permanent reminder of Pete Doherty's most shambling baby performance, a permanent reminder of how great The Who and Pink Floyd were, forgot to set video or were one of the trasquillions of viewers who now feels slightly guilty that since that day you've done nothing to reduce your footprint upon this earth or to help reduce the enormous disparity between the people's of the planet. There's footage from almost all the shows, with the emphasis on Wembley, usual extra stuff, and you can always provide your own commmentary to get the fulll on DVD effect (although we'd have loved to have heard Bobo keeping us up to speed with all the backstage gos from the day. And just to reignite an old argument, WOMAD's show at the Eden Project, Africa Calling, is available separately and doesn't seem to be touched here. Don't you just love the spirit of unity for a good cause? (MM)
We've mentioned this before but Channel 4 are celebrating this year's Music Hall OF Fame with two weeks of rock documentaries. It must be a big deal because they kicked off with the biggest sellers of the 21st Century. Wow, and we're only six years in. Turns out to be the biggest sellers in the UK, we probably should have guessed, so at least Katie Meluah and Busted got a look in. It'll also be one of the last music list shows you'll see before the end of the year that doesn't mention the Arctic Monkeys. This week stay in Wednesday from 11pm to catch the World's Greatest Gigs (which might have mentioned the Monkeys had it not been made a while ago) and Jimi Hendrix - the Road To Woodstock. The man who launched a thousand fringes, Paul Weller, the sublime Sigur Ros, Sheryl Crow and Santana all appear on Later on 2 this week and it's the last installment of the awesome Rock School as everyone picks up the pieces from their experience. Yes, it's been cheesy as hell, even quite poor at times and yes, the last show will probably suck because the band are no more and Gene has gone home to make even more money, but damn, didn't they play a fine show supporting Motorhead? (MM)
We'll leave you with on a sad note this week with the news that ex-Shonen Knife and current DMBQ drummer, Mana “China” Nishiura was killed in a car crash earlier this week. She will be greatly missed.

Members of Glasgow Archaeological Society are invited to join us on an excursion to the historic town of Douglas in South Lanarkshire on Saturday, September 30th, 2017.
Our visit will start with a look at the street architecture of Douglas, which retains most of its historical buildings due to the lack of modern development that changes so many towns and villages. We shall be visiting the Earl of Angus’s statue which marks the spot in 1698 where the Cameronian Regiment was raised.
We will then be going on to tour St. Brides Kirk, a late 14th century church which contains many tombs of the Douglas family.
Following on from the kirk we will be making a stop at the Polish Wartime Camp Memorial before making our way to the remains of 18th century Douglas Castle. At the castle, members will be able to listen to a talk on the fascinating events from the original castle in early 1300s involving Sir James the Good Douglas. We then return to Douglas village to end the day with a visit to Douglas Heritage Centre.
Transport and Directions
For people with cars meet at Happendon Services (Southbound) on M74 at 11.00am taking exit 11, pass straight through the roundabout and the services are on the right at the top of the hill.
Alternatively, by train take the Dalmuir to Larkhall train arriving at Larkhall at 10.26. Cars will be waiting to take you to Happendon if you have pre-arranged this. This train runs through the west end and leaves Glasgow Central Low Level at 9.47.
We should arrive in Douglas about 12.00 noon, the walk will take approximately 2 hours.
Members who are interested in joining us on this excursion should contact our Excursions Convener as soon as possible to reserve a place. It is essential that you advise Margaret King in advance if you intend to join in this excursion, and particularly confirm if you require transport from Larkhall.

Meals on Wheels America welcomes all senior nutrition programs to take part in the 2017 March for Meals as an opportunity to support not only your program’s success, but also the Meals on Wheels nationwide movement. Working collaboratively, we can effectively strengthen our individual efforts to increase awareness and community engagement in supporting our senior neighbors.
WHY THE MONTH OF MARCH?
On March 22, 1972, President Nixon signed into law a measure that amended the Older Americans Act of 1965 and established a national nutrition program for seniors. For nearly 45 years, senior nutrition programs like yours have delivered more than just nutritious meals to seniors at risk of hunger and isolation in virtually every community across the country. You’ve also delivered friendly visits and made sure our seniors are safe in their own homes, where they want to be.
We've come together each March since 2002 to celebrate these vital programs, increase awareness in our communities and recruit the support needed to meet rising demand. Over the last 15 years, the campaign has grown significantly in size and impact into an annual nationwide month-long celebration in hundreds of communities around the country.
By participating in the 2017 March for Meals, you can raise funds locally, build lasting partnerships and be a part of what promises to be the biggest and most visible national Meals on Wheels campaign yet. Not a Meals on Wheels America Member yet? The March for Meals campaign is just one of many reasons to join today

Jackson Motorcycle Accident Kills Rider
This past July 4th weekend, a motorcyclist died in an accident in Jackson involving a motorcycle and two cars, WAPT Action News Jackson reports. The driver of the motorcycle was taken to University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. The motorcycle crash took place at the intersection of Woodrow Wilson and Bailey Avenue, according to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. Law enforcement have not filed any charges related to the accident.
Motorcycle Accidents Lead to Fatalities
Motorcycle riders are about 26 times more likely per vehicle mile driven to suffer fatal injuries in an accident than those who drive cars, according to the Insurance Information Institute. In 2013, 56 out of every 100,000 registered motorcycles was involved in a fatal accident. For cars, the number was only 9 out of every 100,000. That year, almost 5,000 motorcyclists died in accidents, according to the National Highway Transit Safety Administration. Motorcycle accidents made up about 14 percent of all fatal traffic accidents.
Mississippi Wrongful Death Law
If someone dies or is injured in an accident and another person is at fault, the victim can sue the other person for negligence. Negligence is when one person has a duty to follow certain standards of behavior but doesn’t, and causes harm to another person as a result. To put it more simply, when a driver breaks the rules of the road, that driver can be made to pay for the damage that they have caused. When the victim dies, they are not around to sue the person at fault. In this case, one of their surviving family members can sue the person at fault for wrongful death, which is a special kind of lawsuit for this situation. In Mississippi, the victim has to prove in court that the person who caused the accident failed to act as another reasonable and prudent person would have acted under similar circumstances, or more simply put, that the driver failed to follow basic rules. Mississippi also uses a pure comparative negligence system. This means that someone who is partly at fault for their own injury can still win a lawsuit against another person who was also partly at fault. Section 15-1-49 of the Mississippi Code provides a general statute of limitations for lawsuits of three years. This means that anyone injured in a motorcycle accident must file their lawsuit within three years of the accident. This general statute of limitations applies to negligence and wrongful death lawsuits.
Fatal Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits
If another driver is at fault in a motorcycle accident and injures a motorcyclist, the motorcyclist may be able to sue the other driver for negligence. In a case where the motorcyclist dies because of the accident, one of their family members can sue the person at fault for wrongful death. The survivor will need to prove that the other driver somehow failed to drive the way another reasonable and prudent person would have driven in the same situation. This includes following the rules of the road, such as allowing sufficient following distance between themselves and the motorcyclist. The survivor would need to file their lawsuit within three years of the motorcycle accident in order to have their lawsuit heard.
Let Us Assist You with Your Case
If you or someone you love has been in a motorcycle accident, you need legal advice. Contact a personal injury attorney at the office Derek L. Hall, PC in Jackson who will help you get the compensation you deserve.


Lululemon Seals Deal at Scribner Building
Bloomberg reported on May 22 that the active-wear maker was in “advanced talks” for the space at 597 Fifth Avenue between East 48th and East 49th Streets, previously occupied by Sephora. As of today, that deal has been sealed, sources told CO.
The selling portion is 8,000 square feet spanning the ground floor, balcony and mezzanine, a source in the know said, plus about 5,000 square feet in the basement for operations. The rent is roughly $400,000 per month, the source said. Another person close to the situation said the store will open in late July.
Thor declined to comment via a spokesman. A spokeswoman for Lululemon declined to comment because the company is releasing its latest earnings report on Thursday. RKF‘s Jeremy Ezra and Karen Bellantoni represented Lululemon in the deal and Ezra declined to comment.
The 12-story 1913 building was originally built to house Scribner’s Bookstore. Upstairs are office tenants like ValuePenguin, a personal finance company that took the entire fifth floor, as CO reported last October.

Time magazine released its list of the 100 best young adult books ever, with time-tested classics and critically acclaimed recent works making the cut.
The books were selected by a panel of YA authors composed of Elizabeth Acevedo, Kacen Callender, Jenny Han, Jason Reynolds, Adam Silvera, Angie Thomas, and Nicola Yoon. The list replaces one the magazine published in 2015, which had been criticized for its lack of diversity.
“What we didn’t know then was how drastically the category—what it represents, who it serves and whose voices it centers—was about to shift,” the magazine wrote, pointing toward recent books that tackle social justice themes.
The new list contains some old standbys—Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird—but also more recent books like Jacqueline Woodson’s Brown Girl Dreaming, Adam Silvera’s More Happy Than Not, and Traci Chee’s We Are Not Free.
Some of the authors on the list celebrated their books’ inclusion on social media.

Recently I found myself in a completely new situation - a hospital, to be exact. Among other things, being confined in one place with not much to do and nowhere to go forces you into a lot of quiet thinking time (when people are not poking holes in your arms or machines aren't beeping!). And also quiet observation time. You get to see and hear stories from people that you mightn't otherwise come across, let alone have time to really listen to. And you get to see people hard at work in an entirely different profession.
A remark by my doctor stuck with me for a long time. He said, "In here, everyone has to do things by the book. Whoever comes along after needs to know exactly what came before." He was referring to records kept of medications and treatments, of course. But it started me thinking about how different our jobs are. In the hospital, it's vital that everyone does things exactly the same way. In the writing world, it's the kiss of death. Editors are after something original, the fresh, different new voice. If we all wrote the same way, we'd end up with a pretty boring bunch of books out there.
But the other side is also true. In medicine, sometimes it's a sudden insight or inspiration (maybe even waking up in the middle of the night) that can shed light on what seemed unsolvable. In medical research, no doubt it can be the same. For all the plodding through experiments, a flash of inspiration can provide the breakthrough. And in writing, for all we want to create something original and different, we still have to be proficient at the rules of grammar (so readers can understand us clearly), and we still have to be professional in how we submit and present our work. That way, we are taken seriously.
The key is to know when the rules are helping, and when they are hindering. Free writing with no punctuation or grammar can break through a writing block. Flowery paper and scrolly writing in a submission letter will make you look like an amateur. A deadline can be overwhelming for one writer and stimulating for another. I know with historical fiction that the line between providing a rich background and being over the top with my factual material is a thin one indeed! What rules help you? Which ones hinder you?

Meek Mill took to IG to offer his support for Troy Ave who is currently fighting for his life. Troy Ave was officially charged Monday with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon in Manhattan Criminal Court firing his firearm at Irving Plaza in New York City.
Meek blasted the judicial system in his IG post, writing, “The laws they made ain’t designed to protect us! “They like get killed or get a 100 years” Don’t let the press “gas” you to go against ya own people! Because if that was a cop Tryna protect his life the police force gone stand behind them 100% “Pic look crazy” #freetroy & never let these “bum a-- nobody “sucka” crab in the barrel dudes pull you down! Most of the time it’s all for attention…. that’s all these bustas be wanting forreal!”

Most of the time it's all for attention…. that's all these bustas be wanting forreal!
Troy, 33, whose real name is Roland Collins, was ordered held without bail until trial despite requesting a $50,000 bail from the Judge Ushir Pandit Durant.
Troy Ave’s attorneys told the judge their client is the victim in the incident. Three people, including Troy Ave, were wounded in the incident. Troy’s friend and bodyguard Ronald (Edgar) McPhatter suffered a fatal gunshot wound.
McPhatter is seen in surveillance footage entering the green room behind Troy Ave, and then running past him as shots were fired.
He was shot in the stomach, fell downstairs and collapsed near a bar. He later died at Mount Sinai Israel Hospital.
Troy’s attorneys plan to present scientific evidence that show the rapper didn’t shoot himself or McPhatter.
T.I., the headliner of the event held at Irving Plaza Concert Hall, took to Twitter to offer his condolences to families affected by the tragedy.
“My heart is heavy today. Our music is intended to save lives, like it has mine and many others. My heartfelt condolences to the family that suffered the loss and my prayers are with all those injured,” he wrote.
Rest In Peace Bro. God bless. pic.twitter.com/Vq6qFnq5bC

The surf engineering analysis team conducted the third field deployment on March 23, 2015. The deployment was focused on collecting empirical data relating to surfing physics and dynamics, as well as wave parameters. This was accomplished through the deployment of a number of field sensors which measured static pressure, temperature, three-dimensional acceleration, and three-dimensional tilt. The team was especially focused on making improvements to the data collection process which would better facilitate the correlation of data between the various sensors deployed.
Though the waves were not that impressive, we were able to record plenty of data for later analysis.
