    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in International Journal of Health Promotion and Education on 16 September 2014, available online at: https://doi.org/10.1080/14635240.2014.923287Across Europe and North America, few young people meet the recommended levels of physical activity (PA) of 1 hour of moderate to vigorous PA per day. However, the lives of young people cannot simply be polarised as either completely sedentary or active. Drawing on findings from the World Health Organization Health Behaviour in School-aged Children cross sectional international study, this paper examines the domains of adolescent life associated with young people's participation in overall PA, including health behaviours, social relationships and family activities. Consideration is also given to gender differences. Information in England was collected from 4404 students aged 11, 13 and 15 years, using anonymised self-completed questionnaires. Physical aspects of lifestyle were determined using internationally validated items for measuring PA that met international guidelines for activity and the frequency and duration of vigorous exercise undertaken during leisure activities. Separate analyses were conducted for boys and girls. Levels of PA and vigorous exercise were compared using the chi-squared test for trend. The findings draw attention to the value for the health and well-being of young people participating in some form of PA, even if they do not meet the recommended levels. Medium levels of PA appear to be associated with high levels of life satisfaction, self-rated health and an improved sense of body image. Significant health gains are likely to be made for adolescents in encouraging sedentary young people to undertake some form of PAPeer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

    The plaintiff corporation owns and operates a fashionable clothing store. The defendants are authors of a book which stated that some of the corporation\u27s models and sales girls were prostitutes and many of its male designers and salesmen were homosexuals. A number from both groups were said to have been imported. On defendants\u27 motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action in libel, the court denied the motion. Held: even without an allegation of special damages, it could not be said as a matter of law that a corporation could not be directly damaged in a business way by a publication that it employs seriously undesirable personnel.

    CORPORATIONS-INDEMNIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT FOR LITIGATION EXPENSES

    Two recent decisions concerning the right of a successful director-defendant to seek corporate indemnification for litigation expenses are significant because they interpret not only the relevant statutes of New York and Delaware, but also language which exists in the statutes of several other states and which as yet has not been construed by the courts of those states. These cases indicate the desirability of a general survey of such indemnification practice at common law and under statutes

    Testator devised real estate to his wife for life, remainder to his children, with the following understanding, that should any child attempt to dispose of his interest before the death of the testator\u27s wife, that child would forfeit his share and it would go to the remaining children. After the death of the testator, but before the death of his widow, one son conveyed away his interest in the property. In a suit for the partition of the real estate devised by the testator; held, on appeal, restraints on the alienation of vested estates in fee simple are against public policy and are therefore void. The conveyance by the son was effective. Andrews v. Hall, 156 Neb. 817, 58 N.W. (2d) 201 (1953)
