Climate guidance embraces nature-loss risks
The Law Society recently updated its guidance on climate change for solicitors, introducing references to the impact of risks related to biodiversity and nature loss, alongside climate risks.

Hunter: Where does water come from and where does it go? - The Daily Independent at YourValley.net
By David Hunter - Property Owners and Residents Association Water Committee Chairman Do you know where your water comes from and where does it go?

All of them feature the titular Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), but each tells its own story at a new location.
Why Vintage Cards Aren't Always The Answer - Sports Card Investor

2021 Olympic Games Road Race - Men
By David Hunter Tokyo > Fuij Circuit 232km A race like no other. With so many factors to consider, my head is about to burst. Preparation Giro > Settimana Ciclistica Italiana – this is the route favoured by most of the Italian team, apart from Nibali. The recent Italian race allowed the team to get some racing in the legs before jetting off to Japan. Moscon, Caruso, Ciccone and Bettiol all looked strong. 2 weeks of the Tour – the Nibali approach.
Giro de Italia 2021 - Previa etapa 16
Por David Hunter Sacile > Cortina d’Ampezzo 212.7km Un impresionante día, colmado de escalada. Estamos en los Dolomiras y los corredores enfrentarán cuatro puertos enormes para un total de 5292m de desnivel positivo. Es la etapa reina del Giro y uno de los días más difíciles en muchos años.

The role of law: an emergency service for the 21st century?
“Context is all,” as novelist Margaret Atwood reminds us in The Handmaid’s Tale. For us, in 2021, the context is one in which the United Nations has just published Making Peace with Nature, describing the “senseless and suicidal” war on nature that is causing human suffering, enormous economic losses and the “triple emergency” of climate heating, wildlife devastation and pollution accelerating the destruction of life on Earth.
Volta a Catalunya 2021- Previa general
Por David Hunter La Volta a Catalunya, una de las carreras de una semana más duras del calendario. Y para esta edición, los organizadores incrementaron la apuesta sacando La Molina y recuperando Valter 2000 y Port Aine, dos finales en alto muy difíciles. Sinceramente, no es una buena semana para los sprinters. Esta es la primera vez desde 2013 que se usan los dos puertos mencionados en la carrera de manera simultánea.
Build a Pocket-Sized Altair Computer
These days, small single-board computers are very popular. Examples include the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, Arduino, and many more. This is a big change from the early days of microcomputers where the size was quite large (bigger than a bread box you might say). So, I got an idea: Could an Altair-style (Intel 8080 compatible) computer be built the size of one of today’s small computer boards? Could it fit in the metal tin of a popular mint?
Tirreno Adriatico 2021 - Stage 4 Preview
By David Hunter Terni > Prati Di Tivo 148.2km The race returns to Prati di Tivo. This is the day that will shape the GC battle, but it won’t necessarily decide it. Nothing much will happen before the big climb; the rest of the stage is instantly unforgettable. 14.4km at 6.9% is a tough climb. The early slopes are steep, already we’ll see lots of riders getting dropped.

MOVIES 5:56 AM PDT 5/7/2019 by David Hunter On May 7, 1999, Universal resurrected the Mummy franchise in theaters as an actioner starring Brendan Fraser. The Hollywood Reporter's original review is below.

Starbucks Seeking Volunteers for Sociology Experiment
Previously Starbucks’ customer base had its own individual criteria for choosing a favorite coffee spot among the company’s many outlets. It might be a comely barista, the pastry selection or the free Wi–Fi signal’s clarity. For the immediate future, however, I suggest abandoning all criteria but one: The strength of the cellphone connection, because chances are you’re going to need it.
Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘Listening Tour’ Stops in DC
It’s ironic that privacy vulture Mark Zuckerberg’s first day of Senate testimony so closely resembled the action in a first–person shooter: 44 waves of poorly programmed, time–limited attackers that didn’t come close to doing any real damage. It was like Zuckerberg was shooting tunnel rats in Fallout.
London Promises Knife Control
That’s no problem to London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to hold the post in a major Western capital. He tweeted, “No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law.” Since Mr. Khan plans to restrict British cutlery, will his next target be serving forks? If this is the new trend there, he has certainly fashioned a big job for himself.
