The new job required Tanya and her family (and happily her horse too!) to move to a new town. Tanya now lives in Nijmejen, Holland! After spending a year and a half in Holland, Tanya shared some of her different riding experiences. Her experiences include traveling to huge international CDI competitions such as the Dusseldorf Master’s and Aachen; riding in clinics with Henk Van Bergen who previously coached the Dutch Olympic team; riding her own horse through the woods over to Germany; mentioning the word dressage to her work colleagues without having to define it; and last but not least, starting her own Dutch showing career.

    PRESS RELEASE Saffron Burrows, Oliver Chris and Belinda Stewart-Wilson join cast of Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter About Men 29 January 2020 Shakespeare’s Globe is delighted to announce further casting for Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter About Men, a new black comedy by actor and writer Lorien Haynes, directed by Tara Fitzgerald (Brassed Off, Game of Thrones), being hosted in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse on Thursday 20 February. Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter About Men traces a woman’s relationship history backwards, exploring the impact of sexual assault, addiction and teen pregnancy on her adult relationships. Presented in association with RISE and The Circle, all profits from this event will go towards supporting survivors of sexual violence. Thanks in huge part to RISE’s work, the event will also mark the planned introduction of the Worldwide Sexual Violence Survivor Rights United Nations Resolution later this year, which addresses the global issue of sexual violence and pens into existence the civil rights of millions of survivors. Nobel-Prize nominee and founder of Rise, Amanda Nguyen, will introduce the evening. A silent auction will also take place on the night to highlight and raise awareness for the support networks available to those in need. Audience members will be able to bid on props from the production as well as a selection of especially commissioned rotary phones, exclusively designed by acclaimed British artists including Harland Miller, Natasha Law, Bella Freud and Emma Sargeant. The money raised by each phone will go to a rape crisis helpline chosen by the artist.

    Case 3:14-cr-00085-JAM Document 112 Filed 11/17/14 Page 1 of 22 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. No. 3:14-cr-00085 (JAM) CARLOS COLON, et al. RULING ON DEFENDANTS’ JOINT MOTIONS FOR DISCOVERY (Doc. #36) AND TO DISMISS THE INDICTMENT (Doc. #37) This case involves seven criminal defendants who were set up by undercover law enforcement agents to rob a fictional drug ―stash house‖ in Connecticut. They fell victim to a ruse that federal law enforcement agents have deployed with remarkable success against countless suspects nationwide. All seven defendants—some of them armed—gathered one day last April at a parking lot somewhere in Stamford, expecting that they would momentarily proceed to a nearby stash house to rob and help themselves to 15 kilograms or more of lightly guarded cocaine. Instead, a flood of law enforcement agents swept in to arrest them. Each of the defendants now stands charged with conspiracies to engage in robbery, drug trafficking, and related weapons offenses. For their plans to rob a house and cocaine that never existed, each of the defendants likely faces at least 15 years of mandatory minimum imprisonment if convicted on these charges. Defendants jointly move to dismiss the indictment on the ground that the stash-house sting operation that was launched against them amounted to outrageous government conduct in violation of their constitutional rights under the Due Process Clause. Relatedly, defendants contend that they were targeted on account of their race in violation of the Equal Protection 1 Case 3:14-cr-00085-JAM Document 112 Filed 11/17/14 Page 2 of 22 Clause, and they seek discovery to support their claim of selective enforcement and prosecution.

  • Options Contracts for Contingent Takings
    Issues in Legal Scholarship CATASTROPHIC RISKS:PREVENTION,COMPENSATION, AND RECOVERY Article 2 Options Contracts for Contingent Takings Carolyn Kousky∗ Sam Walsh† Richard Zeckhauser‡ ∗Harvard University, carolyn [email protected] †United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, [email protected] ‡Harvard University, richard [email protected] Copyright c 2007 The Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. Options Contracts for Contingent Takings∗ Carolyn Kousky, Sam Walsh, and Richard Zeckhauser Abstract Disasters are low-probability situations with high potential losses. Shortly before and during some disasters, government use of private property may reduce losses to others that strongly out- weigh the costs imposed on the property owner, implying significant net benefits. Coercive takings or attempts to contract at the time of the emergency will frequently be defeated by transactions costs. We propose a policy tool to realize the available net benefits: options contracts for contin- gent takings. Such contracts between the government and private parties allow the government to take property in the event of a low-probability event that would make the property much more valuable in government hands. In exchange for such use, the property owner is compensated, in part up front and in part when the option is exercised. Setting the exercise payment equal to the cost of losses promotes efficiency in both risk spreading and the incentives for exercise. Options contracts of this form will be valuable in a range of settings, from improving disaster response by guaranteeing a flow of needed supplies, to reducing potential damages by diverting floodwaters to low-value lands, or even to helping ensure the survival of some endangered species.

Intrusion and the Investigative Reporter* Men with the muckrake are often indispensable to the well-being of society, but only if they know when to stop raking the muck. -Theodore Roosevelt1 The investigative reporter,2 like the spy and the sociologist, must sometimes go under cover to gather information.' Because going under cover allows the reporter to witness events from the inside, as a partici- pant-observer, undercover newsgathering has proven effective4 in exposing fraud, corruption, and illegal activity in government and industry.5 Indeed, in some instances, the use of subterfuge may be the only means of uncovering serious abuses and spurring reform. A recent expos6 produced by the television program 20/20 graphically illustrates this point.'

  • Real Freedom for All Women (And Men): a Reply
    Real Freedom for all Women (and Men): A Reply PHILIPPE VAN PARIJS Université Catholique de Louvain Abstract The disadvantages men suffer relative to women in certain dimensions are not always as significant as they seem. And even when they are real, they are not necessarily unjust. This reply to a set of six reactions to “Four Puzzles on Gender Inequality” offers a critical discussion of these claims. Above all, it questions the very idea of discussing issues of gender and justice in terms of “gender justice,” i.e., of justice between two categories of human beings. Keywords: gender equality, longevity, education, political representation, social justice INTRODUCTION Yes, my short speech on gender inequalities is what I think most of my commentators understood it to be: a modest invitation to help us better understand the demands of so-called gender justice and of justice more generally, by reflecting on some puzzles, none of them new but some of them sticky.1 Ana de Miguel’s superbly formulated and entertaining commentary was most useful in helping me see better why my initial speech could be misunderstood, even with the explanatory notes I subsequently added.2 I never read any masculinist pamphlet and do not intend to do so. But I can now imagine that some of what I said could have been reminiscent of some of what can be found in such writings and thereby suggest that I may be supporting their cause. Ana de Miguel can rest reassured. I do not believe, 1 In addition to the authors of the six comments included in this volume, I am most grateful to Sophie Heine, Meira Levinson, Anja Topolski, and the participants in the Lovanium Seminar in Ethics and Public Policy (Leuven, 21 November 2014) and the Nuffield Political Philosophy seminar (Oxford, 1 June 2015) for the sort of comments I was hoping to trigger – and be enlightened by.

  • A Relational Approach to Schools' Regulation Of
    NOTES A RELATIONAL APPROACH TO SCHOOLS’ REGULATION OF YOUTH ONLINE SPEECH BENJAMIN F. HEIDLAGE* This Note examines the current doctrinal difficulties with student Internet speech. Student speech was traditionally protected from school authority when it was per- formed off campus—it received full First Amendment protection as opposed to the lower level of protection that on-campus speech received. However, the emergence of the Internet as a dominant form of communication has complicated this frame- work by blurring the line between off-campus and on-campus. As reflected in the Supreme Court jurisprudence, the question of the standard of protection to apply highlights the educational and constitutional issues at stake in student speech. While some courts seem willing to subject all youth speech to the lower constitu- tional standard, I propose a more nuanced approach. My approach, which I dub the “relational approach,” reframes the debate by reference to the role schools play in our society. The relational approach forces judges to examine the context in which the speech takes place and determine whether society expects such context to be governed by institutional educational authority. By adopting my approach, a more honest and reasonable jurisprudence can emerge. INTRODUCTION In 2006, Aaron Wisniewski, a middle school student at Weedsport Middle School in upstate New York, logged onto his home computer after school hours and sent his friends instant messages that featured a small digital image commonly referred to as a “buddy icon.”1 The image depicted a gun shooting a cartoon individual and bore the cap- tion “Kill Mr. VanderMolen,” a teacher at Wisniewski’s school.2 The school, alerted to the icon, suspended Wisniewski.
