Simcocks Advocates is a British law firm based in the Isle of Man. It is one of the Island’s leading offshore legal practices.

Profile
Simcocks is one of the biggest law firms on the Isle of Man. Phil Games is the Chief Executive. Clients include small to medium enterprises, multi-nationals, regulators, and non-governmental organisations and private individuals. The company has four directors: Phil Games, Irini Newby, Alex Spencer and David Spencer.

History
Alfred Howard Simcocks was born in the Isle of Man on 20 December 1915 at the Rushen Abbey Hotel, Ballasalla, and was always known as Howard. He was educated at the Buchan School and King William’s College. Howard was halfway through his accountancy articles in 1939 when he volunteered to enlist in the Manx Regiment. He served in the desert and was blinded in May 1944 at the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy.

He spent some time recuperating at St Dunstan’s rehabilitation centre in Shropshire before returning to the Isle of Man.
He became a law student with the help and support of retired Attorney General, Ramsey Moore. He qualified and was formally admitted to the Bar as a Manx Advocate in August 1948. Howard passed his exams by dictating his answers to a clerk in the Rolls Office.
 
Helen Kinvig became his secretary and was to be his eyes and ears for the rest of his working life. In the 1950s Howard acquired a tandem and Miss Kinvig used to "drive" him to the Castletown office from Ballasalla and back. 

In 1949 Howard and Advocate Stanley Allen went into partnership. They used their names and borrowed part of an established name to help launch their fledgling business which later became the Simcocks brand. 
Outside of the legal arena Howard took part in many activities. He was a member of the Abbey Choir and composed verses for members to sing to alongside well–known tunes at church concerts. He was a Parochial Church Council member and a churchwarden for many years. Howard became a member of Malew Parish Commissioners and was an MHK for Rushen from 1956 to 1974. 

He was also a member of the Legislative Council. He served on many boards of Tynwald, latterly as chairman of the Water Authority. He was also an active member of the Royal British Legion and was awarded an MBE. He also contributed many newspaper articles on the Manx political scene.
 
Howard practised as an advocate until 1990 when he retired to Winchester. He died in January 1995. His ashes are buried in Malew Parish Church yard.

Main practice areas
The firm's main areas of practice are banking and finance, capital markets, corporate and commercial law, dispute resolution, private client and property. The company also works in shipping, employment, film, space, insurance and re-insurance.

In 2012 Simcocks expanded its services to be able to advise individual and institutional clients on all aspects of BVI law. In addition to having BVI lawyers based in the Isle of Man Simcocks forged a special working relationship with Samuels Richardson, a BVI law firm, for circumstances when localised "on the ground" advice is required.

John Washington Butler (December 17, 1875 – September 24, 1952) was an American farmer and a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives from 1923 to 1927, representing Macon, Trousdale, and Sumner counties. He is most noted for introducing the Butler Act, which prohibited teaching of evolution in public (i.e. state) schools (and which was challenged in the Scopes Trial).  He was an admirer of William Jennings Bryan.

The Nith River is a river in Brant, Oxford and Perth counties and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. The Nith River is approximately 125km in length and empties into the Grand River at the town of Paris.  It is named after the River Nith in Scotland.

Course
The Nith river begins in a woodland northwest of Crosshill and west of Waterloo Regional Road 5 in the township of Wellesley, Region of Waterloo. It heads north into Perth County, then turns sharply southwest and passes through the communities of Fernbank and Millbank in Perth East. It continues south, takes in the right tributary Smith Creek and arrives at the community of Nithburg. The river flows east back into Waterloo Region, takes in the right tributary Silver Creek, and then the left tributary Firella Creek south of the community of Wellesley in the township of Wellesley. The river turns south into the township of Wilmot, takes in the left tributary Bamberg Creek and passes through the communities of Phillipsburg and New Hamburg, Ontario. The Nith continues south, takes in the left tributaries Baden Creek and Hunsburger Creek, enters into Blandford-Blenheim, Oxford County and reaches the community of Plattsville. The river turns east, takes in the right tributary Black Creek, and left tributaries Hiller Creek, Alder Creek and Eden Creek, passes back into Waterloo Region, and reaches the community of Ayr in the township of North Dumfries, where it takes in the left tributary Cedar Creek. It then turns sharply west, flows back into Oxford County, then turns southeast passing through the communities of Wolverton and Canning. The Nith then flows into Brant County, takes in the right tributary Mud Creek and left tributary Charlie Creek, passing Barker's Bush and reaching its mouth at the Grand River in Paris.

Recreation 
The Nith River is flat water with a few riffles, but rain and snowmelt can significantly increase the flow rate. In the early spring the maximum flow rate reaches a median value of 30 and mean of 40, but commonly exceeds 200 m3/s, causing major flooding in the flat regions upstream such as in and around New Hamburg. The Nith offers excellent paddling conditions in April, including a set of Class III whitewater rapids as the Nith enters Paris, yet by May, the flow rate drops below 5 m3/s and becomes unsuitable for paddling.

The river is under the auspices of the Grand River Conservation Authority.

Wayne Gretzky stated on the April 26, 2022 episode of the podcast Spittin' Chiclets that the first time he ice skated was at 2 1/2 years-old on the frozen Nith River in his grandfolks' back yard.

In music performance and education, the Berklee method is the music theory, terminology, and practice taught at Berklee College of Music, the largest independent college of contemporary music in the world. The "Berklee method" was founded by Lawrence Berk after study with Joseph Schillinger regarding the latter's "elaborate system of composition that employed mathematical permutation and combination process to generate rhythms, harmonies, and melodies". 

Later, attempting to codify jazz and popular music practice, the Berklee method often differs from common practice harmony and voice-leading rules or guidelines since the form and function of jazz and popular music differs from common practice form and function. For example, Berklee Music Theory - Book 2 recommends the following accompaniment for a given lead sheet, while this progression does not occur in common practice theory since all the chords are seventh chords and unprepared dissonant.

Branford Marsalis notes how Berklee music theory may be an inadequate description of traditional jazz as well having a tendency toward prescriptivism: "Berklee has its own system of doing things, the Berklee way, the Berklee method. They basically say that when you write things that are theoretically against the Berklee method, then they're incorrect. Even if they sound great. Musically they sound great, but theoretically it's wrong, so it's wrong. Which is not the purpose of music. Music theories are just theories."

LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LHFPL3 gene.

Function

This gene is a member of the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (LHFP) gene family, which is a subset of the superfamily of tetraspan transmembrane protein encoding genes. Mutations in one LHFP-like gene result in deafness in humans and mice, and a second LHFP-like gene is fused to a high-mobility group gene in a translocation-associated lipoma. A partial gene fragment named LHFPL4 corresponds to a portion of the first exon of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

The Anglican Church of St Martin in Fiddington within the English county of Somerset dates from the 11th century and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.

History

Part of the herringbone masonry survives from the 11th century, however the church has been revised several times since. The roof is from the 16th century. A storm in 1729 damaged the building and restoration work was undertaken.

The church was restored by John Norton in 1860, which included the addition of the north aisle. The peal of six bells was dedicated by Leonard Olyott, Archdeacon of Taunton on September 7, 1979 with financial help from the Meaker Trust, the Meakers were a local family who owned Meakers Department Stores.

The parish is part of the Quantock Coast benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.

Architecture

The building consists of a nave, aisle and chancel with vestry. The three-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses.

Sheela na Gig
On the outer south wall of the nave is a  Sheela na Gig. It is unusual in having one arm aloft and the other resting on a knee. The part of the figure showing genitalia is less well defined than the upper body, possibly as a result of weathering or an attempt to obscure that part of the image at some time in the past. The Sheela na Gig at Fiddington was examined and brass rubbed by Mick Aston in the late 1970s, Aston who later found fame through the television programme Time Team was at that time county archaeologist for Somerset. He noted that the figure is only one of three currently known in Somerset (the other two are at Wells Cathedral). Aston hinted at a date in the 11th or 12th century for the figure, noting that the stone on which the figure is carved is reddish-purple sandstone and forms a quoin in the south wall which is contemporary with the surrounding herringbone masonry.

The interior includes a 15th-century piscina. The pulpit and font are Jacobean.

Churchyard
The churchyard contains two Grade II listed structures. Five metres south-east of the porch stands an  high cross. The cross head is now missing, but it is described as visually impressive and probably in its original position. The sandstone cross is thought to date from the early 14th century and the shaft has a carved weathered human face on its eastern face. Closer to the porch is the tomb of Matthew Grove which dates from 1680. The sandstone chest tomb is made up four massive stone slabs.

Tellurique is the fourth studio album by French industrial rock music group Kill the Thrill. It was released on 17 May 2005 through Season of Mist record label.

Musical style
Like Kill the Thrill's overall sound, Tellurique draws influences from various genres, including heavy metal, new wave, ambient goth, alternative rock and industrial music. Featuring frontman Nicolas Dick's occasionally low and effect-laden deadpan vocals, the album consists of "down-tempo, brooding, lyric-driven songs" and atmospheric compositions typical of progressive rock and space rock styles. In terms of atmosphere and compositions, the tracks on the album were compared to the works of Killing Joke, Joy Division, Nine Inch Nails, Isis and Voivod.

Critical reception

Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic praised the album's eclectic style, describing it as "too sparse for metal, too morbid for new wave, too humanized for industrial, and definitely too alternative for alternative rock." Nevertheşless, Rivadavia further added that the record's "strange creative pathways may prove too broad, or too vague, to make a connection with their limited tastes of the fans of the other different musical styles, co-signing the French trio to once again appeal to just a very small and selective, but open-minded, fan base." Exclaim! magazine critic Monica S. Kuebler stated: "Atmospheric and unhappy, Kill the Thrill's fifth release is not entirely fulfilling; it seems for each track that really hits home there is one that misses or feels like filler." Kuebler eventually concluded her review with "an 'A for effort and for those moments where the genre cliché is challenged, but a hard-earned 'C for the final product."

Democrasoft, Inc., formerly Burst.com, is a public software company located in Santa Rosa, California.

History
In 2010, the company launched Collaborize, an online communications tool, at the Spring DEMO Conference. That same year, the company changed its name to Democrasoft. The company later released Collaborize Classroom, an online learning platform that included the Collaborize Classroom Topic Library which featured subject based lessons for teachers. 

On April 26, 2010, the company renamed from Burst.com to Democrasoft, Inc. 

In August 2012, Democrasoft released WeJit, a tool for online collaboration.

Patent litigation history
In March 2005 the company, then named Burst.com, received $60 million as settlement in its suit against Microsoft over unauthorized use of its streaming media technology.

In January 2006, Apple Computer filed an action for a Declaratory Judgement seeking to have Burst's patents declared invalid. In April 2006, Burst.com counterclaimed against Apple Computer with regard to Apple's potential infringement of Burst.com's patents on streaming video and time-shifting of video. A "Markman" Claim Construction Memorandum and Order favorable to Burst was issued May 8, 2007. In early November, the court invalidated 14 of Burst's claims, leaving 22 remaining. 

On November 21, 2007, Apple Computer announced that it had called a truce in the legal feud between itself and Burst.com by agreeing to pay a $10 million lump sum in exchange for protection from current and future lawsuits.

RealNetworks sued Burst.com on January 3, 2008. The case was settled in May 2008 with RealNetworks agreeing to pay Burst a one-time payment of $533,500.00 cash in exchange for a license to a subset of the Burst patents.
