Dispute Over an Expense Reimbursement Contract? Five Factors to Consider
Are you a Wisconsinbased employee with a dispute (or potential dispute) with an employer about an expense reimbursement contract? If so, before you take action or communicate with the employer about the dispute, below are five factors to consider.
1. Review the contract's terms, including terms about timing and key dates, before taking action.
Many expense – reimbursement contracts have terms that specify important dates and/or time periods. For example, a contract may say that if the employee resigns within one year of his employment start date, then he must reimburse the employer 100% of the expenses it paid relating to the employee's hire, travel and relocation. Or a contract may say if the employee resigns during a given time frame (e.g. at a time between Jan. 1 and Jun. 30, 2019), then he must reimburse 50% of the employer's expenses, or if he resigns during a later time frame (e.g. between Jul. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019), he must reimburse 25%.
Sometimes, the terms are not clearly defined or ambiguous on their face. For example, a reimbursement contract may say the employee has a reimbursement obligation if he resigns "before a one-year period", but may not specifically define the date that "one year" has ended. Such ambiguous terms can raise doubts when, exactly, the one year period begins and ends. Is it one year after the date the last party signed the contract? One year after the date the employee accepted the job offer? One year after the date the employee first started employment at the employer's building?
An employee with a reimbursement contract should review and understand the contract's terms– including its terms about important dates and timing– before he takes action, e.g. before he gives notice of resignation on a given date. A close review of the contract, including terms about key dates and timing, can help the employee be aware of important timing considerations and perhaps avoid a very costly mistake. For example, it may help him avoid giving notice of resignation to occur a day before a date when reimbursement obligations would have vanished under the contract had he stayed employed just a day longer.
2. Know that some contracts and/or their reimbursement terms are invalid under Wisconsin law; don't assume the employer's legal interpretation is correct.
Employers act as if the reimbursement contracts they drafted– and their interpretations of their contracts– are unquestionably valid under the law. But in reality, some reimbursement contracts are invalid under Wisconsin law standards.
Only a Court can determine if a given contract is valid or invalid. However, an employee can have a lawyer assess the likelihood or odds a given contract would be found invalid by a Court, via the lawyer reviewing that contract and comparing it to applicable legal standards, etc.
If an employee's lawyer reviewed a reimbursement contract and saw legal problems with it and felt a Court would likely consider it invalid, the lawyer's opinion to this effect could be conveyed to the employer, and could cause the employer to reduce or withdraw its demand for the employee's expense-reimbursement payment.
It is common in my experience to see problems in the language of an expense – reimbursement contract that present risk to the employer that the contract could (if a legal action arose) be determined by a Court to be invalid. There are some legal issues that, if present in a given contract, could cause a Court to decide the whole contract is invalid. In other instances, there are problems with a contract that are likely to cause a Court to decide only a portion of its terms, or only a portion of money (less than what the employer demands) are legally-valid or owed.
If you have a reimbursement contract with one or more of the following attributes, it may be legally-vulnerable for the employer, and you should consider having an employee rights lawyer assess it further:
 - If the contract was drafted by the employer and has vague or ambiguous terms the employer is now interpreting in its favor, to your financial detriment.
 - If the contract defines types of expenses or time frames, etc., and the employer is seeking reimbursement of types of expenses that are not of the type the contract defines, or were not incurred during defined contractual time frames, etc.
 - If the contract has terms that say the employer may dock your wages (paychecks) for reimbursement money the employer decides you owe.
3. Request proof from the employer for the expenses at issue; make sure they're legitimate expenses and of a type reimbursable under the contract.
A reimbursement contract may specifically state the employee has a right to request the employer give her proof of the expenses at issue, so she can verify they were in fact paid and in fact were proper for the employer to have paid for her hire and relocation, etc.
Such proof can include an itemization of expenses that specifies exact expenses' dates and amounts of payment, to whom they were paid, for what purpose, etc. Proof can also include receipts or bank entries from the employer, or other documents that prove and/or describe how various expense payments were made for given purposes, etc.
Whether or not your contract says you can request the employer provide you such proof of the expenses' legitimacy, it is a good idea for you to make such a request.
If an employer provides you an itemization or other proof of expenses, you should carefully review that documentation, to make sure the described expenses appear legitimate and appropriate. As an initial matter, you may discover that there are erroneous entries or amounts stated for given expenses, and find the employer has overstated the value of expenses it is asking you to reimburse.
You should also compare those documented expenses (as described in the documentation) to the terms and descriptions in your reimbursement contract. Are those expenses, for which the employer demands reimbursement, actually of the type and nature for which the contract requires reimbursement?
If there's any problem with the expenses' legitimacy and/or legality under the contract, it is good that you identify any such issues before communicating with the employer about potential reimbursement, and certainly before paying for reimbursement.
4. You may have legal leverage, for your reimbursement dispute, based on factors outside the reimbursement contract and/or that you may not have considered.
Above I reference some legal issues with a given reimbursement contract or its terms that, in a reimbursement demand or dispute situation, can possibly raise legal risks for an employer and/or leverage for the employee.
Aside from the content or issues in any given contract, there may be external factors or laws that provide potential leverage for the employee.
For one, an employee who is contemplating resignation and related reimbursement contract issues, may be subject to unlawful activities by his or her employer that prompted the plans for resignation in the first place. For example, the employee may be resigning because the employer failed to pay the employee a bonus or commission that was (in the employee/lawyer's view) owed under WI wage or contract laws, or because the employer harassed or discriminated against the employee in arguable violation of WI or Federal discrimination laws.
If an employer arguably violated laws with respect to the employee– and arguably owes the employee legal damages (money) due to lost wages or discriminatory acts, etc.– then those matters may serve as counter-leverage in a negotiation with an employer seeking expense-reimbursement money from the employee.
If a negotiation occurs with an employee about any legal issue, it is likely best that any and all other potential legal issues are also considered by the employee (and employee's lawyer, if applicable). That way, the employer's reimbursement demand is not discussed in a vacuum and the employee's potential legal rights and potential damages are also part of the discussion, leveraging and/or settlement agreement that may occur.
5. If you decide to get a lawyer's advice about a contract reimbursement dispute, it is best to do so before you take action or communicate with the employer.
As referenced above, an employee rights lawyer can review an expense reimbursement contract, assess the circumstances of a reimbursement request or dispute, and possibly identify deficiencies with the contract or the employer's legal position. As a threshold matter, the lawyer may tell the employee some important things not to do, e.g. not to resign before a given date (because of bad consequences per the contract's terms, etc.).
Also, the lawyer may opine that the employer's position has legal weaknesses. If that is the case– e.g. say the lawyer opines a Court would likely find the contract invalid– then that opinion could be helpful for the employee to know before communicating or trying to negotiate with an employer about an expense reimbursement demand.
The employee could retain the lawyer to do the communicating or negotiating.
Lawyers are better at conducting communications and negotiations about contracts than are employees and employers. Most employers know this and have lawyers (or promptly retain lawyers) to assist with any reimbursement-contract disputes that arise for them. Sometimes, employers' lawyers are behind the scenes and, unbeknownst to the employee they're in a dispute with, are monitoring and advising the employers' personnel about what to say or write to the employee. Employees, too often, try to tackle contract-related communications and negotiations on their own, and are thus at a disadvantage compared to the employers, who typically have attorney help accessible.
The more an employee communicates with an employer about a contract dispute– especially written or emailed communication– the more risk the employee incurs of diminishing or eliminating legal rights or options he or she may have had. For example, an employee may send off an email to the employer, about a reimbursement dispute issue, in which he inadvertently agrees to new contractual terms, or agrees to a contractual modification, that are against his interests and/or waive legal rights he'd had (to reduce or

Agreed. The generality of your question makes it really hard to answer. – Jesse Bunch Jan 13 '12 at 6:02
To elaborate on the other comments, the possibility of doing something more efficient, or at least more readable than using a switch case statement depends entirely on the specifics of the method and what it is intended to do. – Andrew Madsen Jan 13 '12 at 6:03

It really depends on the type of work you are doing in the switch statements. If for example you are simply returning a value based on the input then it would be possible to construct a NSDictionary mapping integers to some value. Or better yet if the input is indeed a range of consecutive integers then a predefined array would work as well.

If you're out and about and see an upside down sheep you could be forgiven for thinking it was just resting.
But Avon and Somerset Constabulary has warned it can actually be something much more sinister.
The force has warned people sheep could be in a near-death experience if they are lying on their back.
During the winter months sheep grow more wool and their fleece can become extremely heavy if there is a lot of rain.
his can cause the sheep to topple over due to the sheer weight and being left on their back.
If left for too long in this position, the animal can suffocate and die.
Police shared the following post on its rural crime page, Somerset Live reports.
A Facebook user has been warning others about the issue. In a post, she said: "If you spot a sheep in this position, they're not sunbathing.
"If they are left like this, they will die."
The post also offers advice on what to do if you find a sheep in the awkward position.
It says: "If you are able to, turn them up the right way, or try to find someone that can.
"If they have been upside down for a long time, it may take several attempts for them to stay upright."
The post also says people may have to hold on to them for a while while the water drains from their coats.

Tree Cutting in Farming Simulator 15
In Farming Simulator 2015 tree cutting was introduced as a new feature. The goal was to offer maximum freedom in how trees are cut. The player can decide the position and angle of the cut. This means that the tree mesh models cannot be pre-cut. The meshes are cut on the fly, and become a physical object once separated. Meshes thus need to be stored in a representation that enables real-time splitting. Furthermore, since falling trees may collide with the environment, the collision skin of the tree needs to be computed on the fly as well. The mass and moment of inertia of a cut tree varies with the location of the cut and also need to be computed in real-time.

Lean burn combustion is increasing its popularity in the aeronautical framework due to its potential in reducing drastically pollutant emissions (NOx and soot in particular). Its implementation, however, involves significant issues related to the increased amount of air dedicated to the combustion process, demanding the redesign of injection and cooling systems. A reduced coolant mass flow rate in conjunction with higher compressor discharge temperature negatively affect the cooling potential thus requiring the exploitation of efficient schemes such as effusion cooling.
This work describes the experimental and numerical final validation of an aeronautical effusion-cooled lean-burn combustor. Full annular tests were carried out to measure temperature profiles and metal temperature distributions at different operating conditions of the ICAO cycle. Such an outcome was obtained also with an in-house developed CHT methodology (THERM3D). RANS simulations with the Flamelet Generated Manifold combustion model were performed to estimate aerothermal field and heat loads, while the coupling with a thermal conduction solver returns the most updated wall temperature. The heat sink within the perforation is treated with a 0D correlative model that calculates the heat pickup and the temperature rise of coolant. The results highlight an overall good capability of the proposed approach to estimate the metal temperature distribution at different operating conditions. It is also shown how more advanced scale-resolving simulations could significantly improve the prediction of turbulent mixing and heat loads.

It takes approximately two and a half 750 milliliter bottles to make a half gallon. To get the number of bottles needed to make half a gallon, the gallon has to be converted to milliliters, divided by 2 to get half of it and then divided by the number 750.
One gallon translates to 3,785.41178 milliliters. This means that 1,892.70589 milliliters make half a gallon. Dividing that value with 750 yields the number 2.523607853. Upon rounding the number to two decimals, the result is 2.52, which represents the number of 750 milliliter bottles that are needed to make half a gallon.

Varroa mite lifespan
What is the average lifespan of the varroa mite (Varroa destructor). It's a simple question that I don't have a answer to yet. I know they have a 12 day reproductive cycle, but not how long they can live. What got me thinking about this is; how long a break in brood rearing is necessary before all the adult mites die off?
For example, if the mite only lives for a couple months, how can there be any mites left to reproduce after an extended break in brood rearing like we have in the cold northern states. My bees have all shut down brood rearing and won't start back up until late December or early January. This gives me a 2 month window in which there is no mite reproduction.
If you know how long they can live for, let me know.

A history of Nokia's from paper mills to Gorbachev
Started in 1865 as a paper manufacturer, Nokia began making radio phones for the military in the 1960s and launched its first handheld in 1987

In 1865, Fredrik Idestam established a pulp mill in south-west Finland and started manufacturing paper. He opened a second mill three years later near the town of Nokia and by 1902, the firm had moved into electricity generating. Shortly after the first world war, Nokia was close to bankruptcy and the nearby Finnish Rubber Works, maker of galoshes, hoses and tyres, bought the firm in order to ensure a power supply. A few years later, the group acquired Finnish Cable Works, exporter of telephone and electricity cables to the Soviet Union, and the crucible of Nokia's electronics business. The three companies merged in 1922 to form a conglomerate.
By the 1960s, Nokia had begun making radio phones for the Finnish military. In 1982, Nokia introduced its first car phone, with the grand title of Mobira Senator. Its first handheld mobile arrived in 1987 and weighed a hefty 0.7kg (1.7lbs). Officially called the Mobira Cityman, it soon became known as the 'Gorba' after Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev was pictured using one.
By 1992, conglomerates were out of fashion and Nokia decided to focus entirely on mobile phones, gradually selling off its rubber, cable and consumer electronics businesses.

Boating Under the Influence In South Carolina
The BUI Laws in South Carolina
Boating while impaired by alcohol or drugs is illegal in South Carolina just as it is illegal to drive a car while drunk. Section 50-21-112 of the South Carolina statutes specifies "operation of moving motorized water device or water device under sail while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol to the extent that the person's faculties are materially and appreciably impaired." The statute also clarifies that a "drug" may be legal or illegal, or may be a combination of alcohol and a legal or illegal drug.
What are the Open Container Laws in South Carolina?
Be safe and avoid boating under the influence on South Carolina lakes and rivers
While the law is clear in regard to operating a boat while impaired, that still leaves questions related to the use of alcohol and the presence of open containers on boats. Specifically:
 - Can you have open alcohol containers on a boat in South Carolina?
 - Can you drink while boating on a South Carolina lake?
We've previously addressed this topic in a blog post and noted:
"South Carolina law doesn't expressly prohibit open containers of alcohol on boats within the state. Presumably, this means that the occupants of a boat can enjoy a beer as they enjoy cruising on a lake or river.
[However], just because a person might be able to have an open container of alcohol on a boat doesn't mean that drunk driving laws don't apply. Much like the laws that apply to drivers on land, boat operators face a legal blood-alcohol content limit of 0.08 percent.
Always be responsible and stay safe while having fun on the water."
Penalties & Consequences of Boating Under the Influence in South Carolina
Penalties for boating under the influence in South Carolina
If you have been charged with boating under the influence (BUI) of drugs or alcohol in South Carolina and are convicted, you face:
 - First offense: A fine of $200 or imprisonment for 48 hours or more. Public service can take the place of imprisonment.
 - Second offense: Penalties rise to $2,000 to $5,000 and imprisonment between 48 hours and one year. Ten days or more of public service may take the place of imprisonment.
 - Third offense: These subsequent convictions may result in fines of $3,500 or more and imprisonment lasting 60 days to three years.
A conviction on drunk boating charges can also have the same types of devastating long-term effects as a drunk driving conviction. These include:
 - Driver's license suspension
 - Difficulty obtaining employment or housing
 - Potential professional discipline or loss of professional licenses
 - Stigma and shame
 - Long-lasting negative consequences to career and other areas of life
If you've been arrested on suspicion of BUI, know this: you have options, and we can help. At Drennan Law Firm, we are prepared to take up the fight on your behalf. We have experience handling all types of difficult DUI/BUI cases in the Charleston area, and have helped clients throughout the region keep BUI charges from ruining their lives.
Know How Alcohol Affects Your Boating Abilities
A man who knows not to drink and boat
When you are out on the water, you might want to have a few drinks with your friends. Before you do that, you should know that you can face criminal charges for boating under the influence. You should also know that just because you can usually have a specific number of drinks and are fine, that might not be the case on the water because alcohol can affect you differently when you are out on the lake in a boat.
The natural effects of being on a boat can induce fatigue, which is also known as boater's hypnosis. The vibration of the boat, motion of the waves and exposure to the sun can all have these effects. Alcohol will intensify these effects, so you likely won't be able to consume as much alcohol as you would on land before you start to become impaired.
Your reaction time is likely going to be slower after you have been drinking. As you know, it isn't possible to stop your boat on a dime in the water. You need to have as much time and mental capacity as possible if you have to make an evasive maneuver while driving the boat.
Alcohol can also affect your balance, which could mean that you are at an increased risk of falling overboard. It can also affect your judgement, which could cause you to take risks you would normally avoid.
All of these are very good reasons to save the alcohol for a time after you dock your boat and won't have to drive anywhere. If you end up facing drunk boating charges, be sure to explore all of the options you have for a defense.
3 Reasons to Avoid Boating Drunk
Avoid boating under the influence in Charleston Harbor
Just about everyone loves to head out on the water in the summer months. The breeze is fantastic, and it's a great time to spend an afternoon with your family and friends. Perhaps you like to go out on your own and go fishing or prefer to take a tour in the evening to go dolphin watching. Whatever it is you like to do when boating, this is the season to enjoy it.
One problem with boating is that some people believe it's safe to drink alcohol and drive a boat. That could not be further from the truth. The reality is that much like any other vehicle, a boat has the potential to crash and malfunction. A driver who is impaired won't be able to respond to an emergency in the way he or she should, and could cause a serious crash on the water. Here are three other reasons to avoid getting drunk while at sea or on a lake.
1. You'll Get Dehydrated Quickly
If you're not drinking water and are spending time in the sun, it's more likely for you to become dehydrated. Combined with the risk of intoxication, you're more likely to suffer symptoms like headaches or disorientation, which could put you in danger.
2. You Could Cause a Crash
This is a serious reason never to drink behind the wheel of a boat. When you're boating, you're not alone on the water. Even though the waterways are more freeing and have more space to travel, it's likely that you'll come across other boaters. Some will have larger vessels, and others will have small, personal vessels. The last thing you want to do is to hit someone or to have someone hit you. By avoiding alcohol, you'll be in a better position to avoid causing or becoming part of a crash.
3. You Could Lose Your License (and Suffer Penalties)
Finally, remember that a boat is still a vehicle, so you can get a BUI if you drive drunk. Boating under the influence is a crime similar to driving under the influence. Boating while intoxicated increases the risk of fatalities by up to 34 percent, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, so you can be penalized for doing so with fines or the loss of your boating license. You could even go to prison if a crash results in a person's death.
Avoiding alcohol when you're boating is a good idea. By playing it safe, you'll enjoy time on the water without the fear of repercussions.
Boating Under the Influence Defense Strategies
The boating under the influence defense strategy you choose can have a big impact on your case. Our lawyers can help you to look into the options that you have so that you know what you might do.
Decide on the Purpose
Our South Carolina boating under the influence lawyers need to determine the purpose of your defense. This can be challenging but it is a crucial part of your plan.

In either case, you should make sure that you aren't delaying your defense by putting off getting started.
Look into the Circumstances
A look into the circumstances surrounding your arrest can let you know how you are going to proceed. You need to try to find points in the prosecution's defense that you can question. Each question you raise might put you one step closer to the goal of your case. Remember that you have to be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt, so raise all the doubt you can.

MCLP Class discusses leading with values
Imagine having to whittle a list of 60 values down to 10, 5, 2, and ultimately 1. Over the past few weeks the Multicultural Leadership Program (MCLP) Class of 2012 has been doing exactly that.
Discussion leader Diana Hauman, President of Ddh Enterprises, Inc., stressed at the MCLP session Feb. 4 that the values each of us hold drive our relationships, actions, wellbeing, and the way we lead. They also affect how others view us. "My perception is my truth," she said.
Different people view situations differently because of their personal values, Hauman said before posing the following real-life situation to the class.
You are at a dinner where four couples and good friends are present. The check was brought at the end of the meal which you caught a glance at first – it equaled $300. One person at the table took it upon himself to split the check and asked each couple for $120. Knowing that each couple should have owed $75, how would you deal with this situation?
The MCLP participants conducted a detailed discussion from each person's perspective based on their primary value. As they verbalized their own opinions and what their reactions would be, they worked together in understanding why what one person says could be perceived differently by another. Two other situations were presented by Hauman, then discussed by the class.

Battle of Harlaw
24th July 1411
In origin the battle of Harlaw was a feudal dispute, but it must be viewed in the context of growing late medieval conflict between Highland and Lowland. The situation was also complicated by the fact that King James I was imprisoned in England and thus royal authority was weak. Donald, Lord of the Isles, having fought for control of Ross, now planned to strike south east into Moray, towards Aberdeen. But there was substantial warning of the impending campaign and so defensive preparations were put in hand by the Earl of Mar in the spring and early summer of 1411.
As soon as he was aware of the approach of the Highland forces, Mar marshalled his troops at Inverurie. The Highland forces camped on the night of the 23rd July on high ground near Harlaw. On the morning of the 24th the Earl of Mar marched out of Inverurie to engage the Highland army.
It appears to have been an intense and close run fight but the sources provide little detail and there is even conflict over the outcome, with both sides claiming victory. What is clear is that Aberdeen was successfully defended and the Highland forces departed without causing significant destruction in the region.

We here report a rare presentation of bilateral anterior dislocation of shoulder with associated fracture of greater tuberosity in a 38 year old male due to minor trauma which he sustained secondary to hyponatremia induced irritability. There was no associated rotator cuff tear which is often associated with BADS which makes this presentation unique. Unilateral dislocation of shoulder is a common condition which is frequently encountered in emergency trauma department. Anterior dislocation is more common than posterior dislocation. However, simultaneous bilateral shoulder dislocations are usually posterior. Bilateral anterior dislocations with fractures of the greater tuberosity are even rarer and are usually associated with trauma or seizures.

Why ZFC is placed in top of the proof system hierarchy? How it can p-simulate other systems?
share|improve this question
I really would appreciate some definition links to "proof system hierarchy" and "p-simulation". – Hans Stricker Jul 23 '11 at 15:18
_USER_ Stricker, check the Wikipedia pages for "proof complexity" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_complexity) and "propositional proof system" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_proof_system). – Kaveh Aug 2 '11 at 6:19
1 Answer 1
It is an open problem if there is an optimal propositional proof system. Therefore we don't know if ZFC as a propositional proof system is optimal either.
ZFC as propositional proof system can p-simulate any propositional proof system whose soundness (if there is proof for a formula then the formula is true) as a propositional proof system is provable in ZFC. The trick (which I think is due to Steve Cook) is based on the fact that proofs are concrete finite objects, if there is a proof for a formula in a proof system, then ZFC can prove its existence (i.e. ZFC is $\Sigma_1$-complete), combining this with the provability of the soundness we derive the truth of the encoded formula in ZFC. The rest of the argument is translating this first order proof in ZFC to a propositional proof in ZFC as propositional proof system and proving the equivalence of a propositional formula with the formula itself in the proof system. This can be done in $\mathsf{TC^0}$-Frege and any system that contains it. See Logical Foundations of Proof Complexity, 2010 by Cook and Nguyen for the details.
share|improve this answer
Strictly speaking, it's the function $F$ that maps ZFC-proofs of $T$ to $T$* (where $T$ is a tautology) that is the propositional proof system, not ZFC itself. Note also that *the assertion that $F$ is a propositional proof system isn't provable in ZFC itself; you need to assume the soundness of ZFC. This is why people put ZFC at the top; conceivably, there could be "stronger" propositional proof systems $F$ that ZFC can't prove are actually propositional proof systems. But if you think that ZFC represents the outer limit of mathematical knowledge, you might have qualms about such $F$. – Timothy Chow Jul 22 '11 at 22:24
_USER_, there are two equivalent definitions for a pps, one is what you described, the other one is a proof checker program (which the one I found more natural). Yes, strictly speaking, but I didn't want to go into too much details. One can add axioms to obtains a possibly stronger pps, e.g. large cardinal axioms. Note that we don't need the full soundness, we only need a very restricted form of it. In fact, as you know :), some proof complexity theorist conjecture that EF is a plausible candidate for the optimal proof system, in which case ZFC will be just equal to it. – Kaveh Aug 2 '11 at 6:13

Thousands of British gardeners are at risk of becoming unwitting criminals due to a lack of knowledge of basic gardening laws, experts have claimed.
Now experts from have published the top seven little known gardening laws to help Britons understand what they should and shouldn't do in their gardens.
Gardeners could be forgiven for finding the laws confusing, as they can be counter-intuitive and complex.
For example, a person may cut back tree branches that overhang into their garden, as long as they do not go past the boundary line and there is no Tree Preservation Order in place.
But they cannot keep the trimmings nor any fruit or flowers on them – nor can they simply throw the branches back into the tree owner's garden without permission.
Disputes over boundaries may require a hard look at the house deeds, and even then, there may be issues if the boundaries have changed over time.
There can also be confusion over whether it is legal to allow a tree to block sunlight to a window.
A spokesman for said: "Most of us want to be good, law abiding neighbours, but that can be difficult if we don't actually know what the law is.
"There may be times when it would be within your legal rights to do something, but it could cause tensions with your neighbour.
Seven little-known gardening laws
1. Trimming overhanging branches
2. Fruit and flowers
Although you can cut branches that hang into your garden up to the property line, they still belong to the neighbour – as do any flowers or fruit on them. Your neighbour is legally entitled to demand them back.
3. Windfalls
4.Fallen leaves
Tree owners are not responsible for sweeping up fallen leaves.
5.Trees blocking light
Under the Rights of Light Act, if a window has received natural light for 20 years or more, neighbours can't block it with a new tree.
5. Fences and boundaries
These can be tricky to resolve. The house deeds should indicate who owns fences and is responsible for boundaries (although there is no legal responsibility to keep boundaries well maintained, unless the deeds state otherwise). But boundaries can move over time and cause disputes later. You may need to contact HM Land Registry for help with boundary disputes.

This TikTok Shows How You Can Walk to Russia From the U.S. — and Cross a 22-hour Time Zone
International travel is a lot simpler than it sounds.
A TikTok user called laubandrew posted a video that explains just how you can actually walk from Alaska to Russia. The explanation is mostly hypothetical, but it's an interesting way to show just how close North America is to the Asian continent.
aerial view of Big and Little Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska
In the video, laubandrew notes the close proximity of two islands in the Bering Strait that mark the division between Russia and the United States. The first island is called Big Diomede, which is 25 miles off the coast of Russia, and the second island is called Little Diomede, which is about 16 miles off the coast of Alaska.
"These islands are only two-and-a-half miles apart," the TikTok user said in the video. "Which means that in the winter when the water freezes, you can walk from the United States in only 20 minutes."
Although, it's probably not recommended to walk to these islands. Although they are in close proximity to each other, the walk isn't quite so solid getting from the mainlands to the islands, especially in the dead of winter. In 1987, long distance swimmer Lynne Cox swam from one island to the other in about two hours, although this was in the middle of August.
But since they are parts of two different countries, the two islands are also in completely different time zones.
"To make matters even crazier, Big Diomede Island is 21 hours ahead of Little Diomede Island, which means that if you were to walk from the United States to Russia, you'd literally be walking into the next day. This is why they call Little Diomede 'Yesterdayland' and Big Diomede 'Tomorrowland,'" said the TikTok user.
Though we're used to seeing the U.S. and Russia on opposite sides of the map, the video certainly points out just how connected nations actually are, regardless of whether this is a practical way to travel or not.

Some homophones, similar-sounding words that don't mean the same thing, are harmless. But elicit and illicit are not among them.
They are completely different parts of speech; choosing the wrong one would be an embarrassing mistake. Moreover, it could mean the difference between asking for a response and instigating dangerous criminal activity.
With that important warning in mind, how should you use illicit or elicit in your writing? There is an easy way to decide. Continue reading for a discussion of these two confusing homophones.
What is the Difference Between Elicit and Illicit?
This article compare elicit vs. illicit. I will use each word in an example sentence to demonstrate its proper use.
Plus, I will give you a useful trick to help you remember whether to use elicit or illicit, depending on your meaning.
When to Use Elicit
What does elicit mean? Elicit is a verb. It is a synonym of evoke, where that word has the meaning to draw out.
- The disruption, though annoying, was not enough to elicit a response from the judge.
- The company commissioned a survey to elicit the public's views on the newest flavor of its sour candies.
- Let us interview the witnesses to elicit the facts of the case.
- Specific projects are not the only target of NIMBYism. Proposed zoning and land-use regulation changes likewise elicit strong reactions and resistance. –The Washington Post
When to Use Illicit
What does illicit mean? Illicit is an adjective. It means illegal or otherwise forbidden. You can see examples of this word's use in the sentences below.
- The cartel used buckets of batter to traffic illicit drugs into other countries.
- The pawn shop's owner is on trial for selling illicit goods in his store.
- The car enthusiasts held an illicit race on Beachside Avenue at 1:00am.
- What's missing, former Losers tell The Post, is any examination of the show's secret and brutal tactics, which include providing illicit drugs to contestants and submitting them to questionable medical exams by the show's resident doctor, Rob Huizenga, known as "Dr. H." –New York Post
Trick to Remember the Difference
Here is a helpful trick to remember illicit vs. elicit.
- Illicit is an adjective that means illegal.
- Elicit is a verb that means evoke.
If the word you are using is an adjective, you probably mean illicit. Elicit is never an adjective.
If you are trying to use the word as a verb, you should use elicit. Much in the same way elicit is never an adjective, illicit is never a verb.
You can remember the difference between these words by remembering their synonyms. Both illicit and illegal begin with the letter I, and both elicit and evoke begin with the letter E.
Is it elicit or illicit? While these two words sound the same when spoken, the mean very different things.
- Elicit is a verb, and a synonym of evoke.
- Illicit is an adjective, and a synonym of illegal.
- Neither word is ever used as any other part of speech.
Since elicit and evoke both start with the same letter, much the same as illicit and illegal, pairing these words with their synonyms will help you remember which is which, and in what contexts they should be used.
Now that you know the difference between these words, you can be confident that your writing will not suffer from this simple mistake. Any time you have questions about other confusing words, you can check this site for an explanation.

Let $X$ be a closed irreducible subvariety of projective $n$ space. Let $k$ be the dimension of a maximal linear subspace not intersecting $X$. Then one can define $dim(X)=n-k-1$ (see Harris page 134). Why is $dim(Y) < dim(X)$ for two properly contained such varieties?
share|cite|improve this question
1 Answer 1
This is also mentioned in Shafarevich (p.71), but the development may be different. The dimension of an irreducible quasi-projective variety $X$ is defined as the transcendence degree of the function field of $X$. Then the fact that one can equivalently define dimension as you mention is proved as a corollary of the following theorem: If a form $F$ is not $0$ on an irreducible projective variety $X,$ then $\operatorname{dim}(X_F)=\operatorname{dim}(X)-1.$ This is a bit of a work-around though, maybe you prefer a direct geometric proof!
share|cite|improve this answer
The way in which Harris phrased this conclusion made me think that there should be a very easy direct proof from the definition I gave. – Wuggletruggle Jul 19 '12 at 19:01
I agree, I just happened to be holding Shafarevich when I saw the question. – Andrew Jul 19 '12 at 19:17

Curved Vs Flat Monitors:- Detailed Guide
When curved displays first appeared on the market, most people believed it was just a gimmick and a passing craze that's not worth the excess cost.
So, why exactly do curved paths make more sense than curved TVs, and what are the benefits and disadvantages of curved monitors compared to flat-screen models?
First, we will explain what distinct curvature radius evaluations imply, such as 1000R, 1500R, 3800R, etc..
The lower the number above the'R' isthe steeper the screen curvature will be.
1500R, for instance, refers to a radius of 1500mm or 1.5 meters — in case you were to make a circle out of a bunch of 1500R curved monitors, the radius of that circle could be 1.5m.
In addition, the curvature rating tells you that the optimal viewing distance.
So, with a 2000R curved monitor, you will only get full benefits of the curvature if you're no more than two meters away from the monitor.
Curved Vs Flat monitors
Unlike curved TVs, which usually have subtle curvatures of ~4000R, many curved paths have steeper curvatures of ~1500R. This makes sense as you are going to be sitting farther away from a TV than you would from a monitor.
But the problem with TVs is this to take whole benefit of a curved screen, you also have to be sitting right in front of it, which is not possible to do if you have a great deal of people in the room.
In addition, people seeing the TV in the far sides of a room wouldn't be able to see the entire screen due to the curvature.
So, it's clear why, for most people, a curved TV is not worth the extra price.
There are a few advantages to curved TVs too, which you can learn more about in our curved vs. flat TV article.
These issues do not affect curved monitors since they are meant for a single person sitting in front of the display.
What is more, curved monitors aren't necessarily more expensive than the wellness models. Oftentimes, curved panels are used for budget gaming monitors that are actually less expensive than their flat-panel counterparts.
Of course, how useful is that the curvature on a monitor mainly depends upon the screen's dimensions and curvature radius.
If you were looking to buy the best monitors according to your budget tag please check out our articles on this topic:-
 1. Best Monitor Under 100 USD
 2. Best Monitor Under 150 USD
 3. Best Monitor Under 200 USD
 4. Best Monitor Under 300 USD
 5. Best Monitor Under 500 USD
 6. Best Monitor Under 1000 USD
Small 24″ and 27″ sized curved monitors usually have curvatures of 1500R or even 1800R, which are not even that noticeable due to their small screen size.
With 32″ or bigger curved screens, the curvature becomes more noticeable, especially if it's 1500R or steeper, but then, the curvature isn't exactly necessary.
You shouldn't purchase a 24″ — 32″ widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) monitor just because it's curved unless you're also interested in additional specifications and features that the screen provides.
Due to the extra width of those monitors, the curvature actually brings the borders of the screen closer to you thus covering of your peripheral vision.
This adds extra depth to the image since you can see more of the display simultaneously, without having to move your eyes/head too much, which improves both eye and immersion relaxation, and also eliminates distortion at the edges of the screen.
Disadvantages Of Curved Monitors
The most important disadvantage of curved monitors is your viewing angles as you won't receive the perfect viewing experience unless you are sitting right facing the display.
So, if you would like to see a movie from your mattress, and your curved screen is not facing it, the picture quality might not be ideal, particularly if the screen has a VA panel with poor viewing angles to the IPS technology.
Obviously, this is based on the monitor's display dimensions and curvature in addition to the particular angle you would be taking a look at the screen.
Still another concern users have with curved monitors is seeing skilled use like design, 2D and 3D modeling, and design, but as long as the curvature is not too intense, it will not be a problem.
In the end, the most important thing to consider is the panel quality itself.
For professional use, you will want to have an IPS panel display for the most precise colors and widest viewing angles, and all widescreen IPS screens are flat-screen.
When it comes to the ultrawide versions, those intended for professional usage have subtle curvatures precisely for this reason; they remove distortion without stretching out the items which are near the borders of the display.
For gambling and multimedia/everyday usage, we highly recommend obtaining a curved monitor if you want an ultrawide display. So far as the widescreen models are concerned, it's just an issue of personal taste.

First, although there is little impact on GDP, there are substantial distributional impacts across regions and households from different export policies and market conditions. Second, both rural and urban households, including poor households, benefit from free trade, even though domestic rice prices are higher. Finally, under free trade, relatively large gains accrue to rural households, where poverty is most pervasive in Vietnam.

This paper introduces a univariate interpolation scheme using a binary parameter called signature such that the graph of the interpolant—which we refer to as affine zipper fractal interpolation function—is obtained as an attractor of a suitable affine zipper. The scaling vector function is identified so that the graph of the corresponding affine zipper fractal interpolation function can be inscribed within a prescribed rectangle. Convergence analysis of the proposed affine zipper fractal interpolant is carried out. It is observed that for a fixed choice of discrete scaling factors, the box counting dimension of the graph of an affine zipper fractal interpolant is independent of the choice of a signature. Several examples of affine zipper fractal interpolants are presented to supplement our theory.

Hawkins's Rail or Giant Chatham Island Rail, Diaphorapteryx hawkinsi, was a flightless extinct bird endemic to the Chatham Islands east of New Zealand. It is known to have existed only on the main islands of Chatham Island and Pitt Island. It is largely known from skeletal remains found in the kitchen middens of the original Polynesian inhabitants, the Moriori.
The bird was approximately 16 inches tall and weighed about 4.5 pounds (2.0 kg) and is thought to have been primarily an insectivore.
It was long thought that the Hawkins's Rail was extinct prior to European discovery, however recent evidence suggests that the bird may have become extinct much later. An 1895 letter belonging to financier/zoologist Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild describes the appearance, behaviour, and Moriori hunting method concerning the species.

Next: a 32m-high Canopy Observation Tower
Since the bulk of the açaí planting is done, we are keeping the locals busy with the construction of a 30m-high canopy observation tower in the Garza Lagoon, a long-time dream we've had for the reserve. The tower will enable us to learn invaluable new information about the forest and also help us visually identify when poachers or loggers have entered the property. The lagoon is home to many commonly poached endangered species, including paiche (arapaima) and black caiman. It also serves as the rookery for at least 7 species of water birds, including the Agami Heron, whose eggs were previously poached by locals.

Design of low cost, low emission marine propulsion systems
Ricardo marine propulsion experts used state-of-the-art computer aided engineering (CAE) software to evaluate the environmental and commercial performance of different marine propulsion system architectures under a range of different usage scenarios.
The work focused on the requirements of a typical harbour tugboat operating in a medium-sized European port. The general characteristics of the vessel were assumed to be a length of 35m, beam of 14m and draft of 5m, with a bollard pull of some 50 tonnes. Two alternative propulsion system configurations were considered for this vessel:
A high-efficiency conventional mechanical architecture, comprising two diesel engines powering respectively a port and starboard propeller by direct drive via a gearbox.
A hybrid electrical propulsion system based on two natural gas engine generator sets providing power to battery banks, with separate electric motors driving each propeller.
The study demonstrated the value of applying CAE simulation tools at the very earliest stages of vessel design or of repowering. From assessing the likely usage profile, the CAE tools allowed for the early assessment of detailed considerations of environmental performance, capital and operational expenditure requirements, and likely return on investment.

"Pom-Pom" Anti-Aircraft Gun, HMCS Kamloops
The pom-pom anti-aircraft gun, so-called because of its characteristic sound when firing, was fitted to most Canadian corvettes during the Second World War.
Designed to counter low-flying aircraft, the pom-pom could also be used against surfaced submarines. Canadian manufacturers built hundreds of these guns during the war. Dominion Bridge Company manufactured this one in 1942, while the Canadian Locomotive Co. of Kingston, Ontario, made the mounting. Both were fitted to the corvette HMCS Kamloops, which appeared in the 1943 film Corvette K-225.

Roman warriors associated hematite with Mars, the Roman God of War. The soldiers used hematite for protection in battles, believing it would make them invincible.
For thousands of years, Hematite has been prized by many cultures. The Egyptians used hematite to calm anxiety. The famous Greek physician/philosopher, Aelius Galenus used it to treat eye infections and as a cure for headaches. Roman soldiers believed that when hematite was rubbed all over their bodies it provided protection during battle. Legend has it that, blood spilled at these ancient Roman battles saturated the ground and seeped into the earth creating this "blood" stone. Native Americans also believed that war paint made from hematite would make one invincible in combat.
Hematite helps with mental organization, balancing energy, enhancing memory and increasing intuition as well as boosts the wearer's self-esteem.

If you want to have something specific in your legend, it's easier to define objects that you place in the legend with appropriate text. For example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pylab
line1 = pylab.Line2D(range(1),range(1),color='white',marker='x',markersize=10, markerfacecolor="red",alpha=1.0)
line2 = pylab.Line2D(range(10),range(10),marker="_",linewidth=3.0,color="dodgerblue",alpha=1.0)
plt.legend((line1,line2),('Text','Other Text'),numpoints=1,loc=1)
Here, line1 defines a short, white line (so essentially invisible) with the marker 'x' in red and full opacity. As an example, line2 gives you a longer blue line with no markers visible. By creating this "lines," you are able to more easily control their properties within the legend.

Why Now? - If the Occoquan Dam has been there for 50 years, why are you just now installing a siren system?
Great question! We have installed the sirens for two reasons. First, because of changing regulatory requirements, our regulatory agency - the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission - has suggested that we install a sound-related system to inform people downstream of the dam in the extremely unlikely event of a dam structural failure. The second reason is that when we worked with the communities closest to the dam, namely the Town of Occoquan, it was the Town's feeling that a siren system would be the most effective and desired form of communication to alert people to the extremely unlikely event of a dam failure.
How strong is the dam?
Very strong. The structural integrity of the Occoquan Dam is very sound. In fact, through rigorous maintenance and improvements, it is even stronger today than when it was constructed. The dam is approximately 72 feet tall and 70 feet wide at its widest point. It is anchored to the bedrock below the bottom of the dam and to the sides of the reservoir. It contains more than 100,000 cubic yards of reinforced concrete. That is equivalent to:

Lately, I have been loving a good fishtail braid. They are actually really easy to create and a beautiful way to wear your hair on a day you don't feel like drying it! Here are the steps to create one yourself:
1. Divide your hair into two large sections, parting straight down the middle. For a sharper look, you can use a comb to part your hair evenly.
2. Pull a thin strand of hair from the outside of the left section. Pull it over the top of the left section, and grasp it under the right section. Basically, the strand of hair has gone over the left section and finishes under the right section.
3. Repeat Step 2 on the other side. Pull a skinny strand of hair from the outside of the right section, pull it over the right section, then weave it under the left section.
4. Keep alternating sides, weaving over and under, until you reach the bottom of the braid.
5. Tie off the end with a hair bobble or elastic.
