Once you've popped the neck, as quickly as possible, hang the rabbit above a bucket. Pictured is the Hopper Hanger we use, more metal rod with mounting brackets, bent so that it holds the hind feet. Getting the feet into position can be problematic, because of those death throes, and one foot often pops out while we're trying to get the other one hooked.
We started out using a suspended bit of clothesline, with slip knot loops tied in either end, to hold the ankles. It worked well enough, but it was even more trouble to get the hind feet secured while they were still kicking.
Ideally, you want to slit the neck while it's still thrashing about, so the muscle contractions squeeze as much of the blood out as possible. Poke your knife in behind the jaw, with the edge facing the front. Depending on how tall the blade is, insertion may be enough to push the edge out through the front of the throat and sever the arteries, so that the blood drains into the bucket.
If you have to, do the same from the other side to get the other set of arteries.
If you want to, you can remove the head completely now. The ears make a good handle. If you pulled far enough when you were making the kill, there should be more slack in the neck than bone, and it should be easy to find the gap with the knife. If not, wiggle the knife to find the notch between any two vertebrae. Set the head aside, and you can decide later if you want to do anything with it.
While you're waiting for the blood to drain, cut through the skin around the wrists and ankles. We call it cutting bracelets. If at all possible, avoid cutting through the tendons below the skin, because that will make skinning easier.
Usually by this point, the twitching has subsided, but don't be surprised if you still get a reaction while you're cutting the bracelets, even if the head is already off. Those nerve signals are processed in the spinal cord, not the brain, and it's really just reflexes, don't worry. The pain receptors in the paws are still detecting the damage, but the messages aren't making it to the brain.
You may also still see random muscle twitches throughout all the rest of this process. It's just the body running down. I once had a heart that kept beating, more and more faintly, even after it was removed from the body and in the gut bucket. (This was before we started saving them.) It's a little freaky, but it's nothing to worry about.
If you haven't yet, remove the head now, because it's only likely to get messier from here on out.
Back to the legs. Slit the skin along the inseams, from the ankle bracelet toward the crotch. The last inch or two toward the center will be a little tricky, because of how squishy the flesh gets there. It's easier to put the knife down and separate the flesh with your fingers, creating a tunnel from one side to the other. Once you can get the knife through, slice upward through the skin.
Peel the skin from the bracelets down toward the body. If you accidentally severed any of the tendons, those muscles may stick to the skin and try to peel away from the body as well. Detach them from the skin, and make sure they stay attached to the body.
Once you've got the legs bare, cut another loop around the top of the tail. The idea is to leave the tail in place, and be able to peel the skin away from it down the rabbit's back. The easiest way to do it is to insert the point of the knife at the edge of the skin, just to one side of the tail, with the blade facing upwards. Then stab diagonally toward the center, at the top of the tail. The blade will slice out through the skin, and if you repeat that from the other side, you'll have a complete triangle.
Continue peeling the skin downward. Sometimes the skin of the abdomen sticks to the muscle near the centerline of the pelvis. You'll need to cut the attachment with the knife, or else the skin will tear the abdominal muscle away, which will make things much messier.
Once past that, the skin of the torso peels off pretty easily, and you won't have any more significant resistance until you get to the shoulders and arms. It will take a little more effort, and you may have to hook your hand through between the arms to get a grip, but if you cut all the way through the skin when you did the bracelets, the skin should just pop off.
There may be a hole torn in the abdominal wall near the pelvis. If so, that's a good place to start. If not, you'll need to make one now. The trick is to hold the abdominal muscles out away from anything else, and make sure that's the only thing you're cutting. In particular, the bladder is right there behind where you're likely to be poking, and is likely to be full. If you puncture the bladder, or press on it enough that its contents flow out, don't worry, just rinse it off. It's a little gross, but it won't ruin anything.
Whichever set of reproductive organs your rabbit has will also be visible. Pull them out, along with the bladder, and toss them in the bucket. If the kidneys aren't visible yet, they will be shortly. Your choice whether they go in the bucket too, or into the bowl of salt water with the other organs you want to keep.
The next step is to go back up to the pelvis. The goal is to crack it down the midline, where the two halves meet up. So take your knife and score the cartilage there. I get best results by laying the edge of the knife along that line and rocking it back and forth along the length of the blade. Once you've weakened the cartilage a bit, grab either side of the pelvis and bend it in half. If you just try to bend it without scoring the cartilage, you never know where it will break, and it makes the process a bit more complicated.
Once you've pried the two halves of the pelvis apart, there will probably be a couple remaining strips of muscle running across the gap behind the bone. Cut them, but be careful. The last part of the large intestine is right behind there, most likely full of turdlets. When you're done, you should be able to see that tube running from the tail all the way down into the puddle of intestines cupped by the ribcage.
Now grab the tail. The next step is kind of a combination of cutting around the top of it and cutting through the vertebrae of the tail. Once detached, it will come away, hopefully with the intestines attached. You should be able to pull it cleanly down through the split pelvis, hopefully without tearing it, and drop it into the bucket, followed by all the rest of the digestive tract. The stomach will be on the left, you can't miss it.
When you pull on the stomach, you'll see a tube running away from it down into the chest cavity. That's the esophagus, and since the head is off, it's not firmly attached to anything anymore. Just pull, and it'll pop out.
For many animals, you have to be careful about handling the liver, or else the bile and all of its questionable components will spill/squeeze out of the gall bladder and ruin anything it touches. That's not really a problem with rabbits.
If you're going to toss the livers, you don't have to be careful at all. If you're saving them, just take the point of the knife and run it along the seam between the gall bladder and liver tissue to separate them. It peels away pretty easily, but if you have to grab it to help it along, grab the narrow end, where the duct exits, so that the bile is trapped inside. If you're nervous, do it under the trickling hose, where any leaking bile will be immediately washed away. Once the gall bladder is off, the liver goes in the bowl of salt water.
The liver is composed of a bunch of lobes which all branch from a central point, kind of like petals. Unless you tore it while you were taking it out, it's all in one piece. You may see another red blob that looks very similar, on the other side of the stomach, a little smaller than your pinky finger and flat. That's the spleen, not another part of the liver, and it should go in the gut bucket.
While you're handling the liver, take a closer look at it. Some rabbit diseases can be diagnosed by discoloration of the liver. If it's blotchy or pale, it's not safe to eat, and the rest of the rabbit may not be either.
Once the liver is out of the way, you'll be looking at the diaphragm, a thin sheet of muscle separating the thorax from the abdomen. There will be a couple small holes in it, which you can use to cut it, but it tears pretty easily too.
Once the diaphragm is out of the way, you'll be looking at the lungs. There will be some blood there, but the lungs themselves will be (nearly-)white and fluffy. In between them is the heart, which will have much more blood, and will probably squirt more out as you handle it. You'll need to pull all of that out, and you may have to pull hard.
If you want to keep and eat the heart, squeeze as much of the blood out of it as possible. There's a thin bubble of membrane around it that you may want to take off, but it won't hurt anything if you leave it on. The easiest way to remove it is to just squeeze the rest of the heart out through the hole at the top, where the vessels attach. Then into the bowl of salt water.
There's one more thing in there that you may or may not want to dig out. The thymus gland, also known as sweetbread in other animals, is attached to the inside of the sternum, just inside the neck hole. If you want to remove it, stick a couple fingers in (the neck hole will be too small, use the bottom of the ribcage, where you've been working) and scrape your nails along that section. You'll be able to feel a small, squishy mass there, and may not actually be able to dislodge it. No big deal.
One last thing to do before it's done. It's still got all four paws attached, which is a lot more bone and fur than you really want to deal with when you get to cooking it. Heavy duty shears can take care of them pretty quick, but a knife will do too.
Notice that your own wrists and ankles have a wide range of movement up and down, but much less side-to-side. Grab the paw in one hand and the leg in the other, and bend sideways until you hear the crack. That's the sound of ligaments popping loose, which means your knife can now get in between the bones at the joint, and cut the rest of the way through. Repeat for the other three paws.
Depending on where you cut the bracelets, the fur boots may reach up beyond the joints, onto the forearms and shins. If so, it's a learning experience for where you should cut them next time. No big deal, push them down and do what you can.
Rinse the remaining blood, fur, and other miscellaneous schmutz off, and the rabbit is ready for the brine pot. Brine isn't strictly necessary, but it helps to tenderize the meat. But this is plenty long enough already, so we'll get to that in the next article, along with a couple recipes.

Summary	 0005030: Expiring monster confusion when changing levels can crash?
The player changed levels, apparently while an orc was confused by a vial. Upon returning to the level (perhaps immediately), the enchantment expired because of update_level(); for confusion this would blink the monster to simulate its random wandering, but when that tried to check whether the monster could fly (to determine safe terrain), it crashed because get_monster_data returned NULL.
Not sure if the monster was dead: there was no message about it, but it could have happened offscreen. Possibly step from time could cause the same crash?

More and more Facebook quizzes are popping up on your feed, and no wonder, they're popular. But could the quick diversion open your accounts to hackers?
A cybersecurity expert recently told WFLA, yes, you could be handing over personal information to someone who doesn't want to know if you have an I.Q. of 120 or that you were Joan of Arc in a past life.
Sri Sridharan said the quizzes could be a dangerous link that could either take data directly from your Facebook account or have you unknowingly download malware to your PC.
So how can you protect yourself, but still have fun?
Read more: Warning: That great 'deal' on Facebook is no deal at all!
Sridharan told WFLA to click on links from trusted sources.
Don't answer if it asks you personal information like what street you grew up on. That is one of the common questions to verify your identity online.
And finally, just because a Facebook friend liked or posted the link, it doesn't mean it is safe.
Don't believe offers that are too good to be true from any airline or big company on Facebook. If you think it may be real, go to the company's website directly — not through Facebook.
If you want to make sure a company page on Facebook is real, hover your mouse over the blue check mark on the profile page. If the page is legit, you'll see a pop-up that says 'Verified Page.' If you don't see that, then someone has created a background image to make it look like the page is verified.
Always be cautious before clicking on a contest or other offer link via Facebook. If you can get to it by going to the company's website directly, do it that way. It's much safer.

Police and National Immigration Agency officials speak with suspects, whose faces have been obscured, in Chiayi County yesterday.
The National Immigration Agency yesterday said it had found 11 of 148 Vietnamese who went missing after arriving in Taiwan last week on tourist visas.
As of 5pm yesterday, four men and seven women had been found, the agency said.
Three were found in Chiayi, Changhua and Hsinchu counties on Wednesday, while four handed themselves in to police in Taoyuan's Jhongli District (中壢) yesterday, it said.
Another was arrested by police in Nantou County after a tip-off, said Liao Wei-yuan (廖維元), deputy captain of the agency's Southern Taiwan Administrative Corps.
The agency said the Vietnamese were part of an investigation by the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors' Office into alleged breaches of the Human Trafficking Prevention Act (人口販運防制法), the Immigration Act (入出國及移民法) and the Employment Service Act (就業服務法).
The 11 were among more than 100 people who traveled to Taiwan in groups and went missing after they arrived in Kaohsiung on Friday last week and Sunday.
The agency previously said that 152 were unaccounted for, but yesterday said that it had established contact with one, while three others had already left the country, leaving the number at 148.
The Vietnamese were allowed in under a government-funded program that grants visas to groups of five or more visitors with Vietnamese, Indonesian, Burmese, Cambodian, Lao or Indian passports, as long as the trip is organized by a "quality travel agency" recognized by the Tourism Bureau or if they are in company-sponsored groups.
The government has said it would improve screening of applicants to avoid such incidents from happening again.

Who steps up for Auburn if Isaac Okoro misses time with a hamstring injury?
Josh Vitale
UPDATE (Saturday, 4:45 p.m.): Isaac Okoro was officially ruled out of Auburn's game at Missouri due to a hamstring injury.
AUBURN — Isaac Okoro is officially questionable to play Saturday at Missouri (5 p.m., ESPN2), but Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said the team will not rush him back.
The standout freshman forward pulled his right hamstring late in the No. 11-ranked Tigers' overtime win over Alabama on Wednesday, falling to the floor as he chased a loose ball down the court. He was helped to the locker room by the team's athletic training staff as he held the back of his leg in pain, and did not return to the game.
Okoro did not practice on Thursday. Pearl said he won't be cleared to return to game action until he is able to practice.
"When that happens I'll let you guys know," Pearl said. "He's working really hard to get back, but we won't rush it."
If Okoro can't suit up Saturday in Columbia, this will mark the third straight season that Auburn has been without one of its top players during a crucial stretch. Center Anfernee McLemore suffered a dislocated ankle and broken leg during a loss at South Carolina on Feb. 17, 2018. Power forward Chuma Okeke suffered a torn ACL during a Sweet 16 win over North Carolina last season, sidelining him for the remainder of the team's Final Four run.
If there is a positive, it's that even if Okoro's injury does keep him out, it isn't season-ending. He was seen on campus Thursday walking with a limp and the help of one crutch, but he was walking. The start of the postseason is still almost a full month away.
But Auburn (22-2, 9-2 SEC) is right in the thick of the SEC regular-season championship race with seven games remaining. It could have to fend off Kentucky and LSU without one of its star players, at least for some period of time.
"With Isaac, it was all we could do to win in overtime. Now, without Isaac, if he can't play, it'll just challenge us in some other areas," Pearl said. "Obviously he's of great value to us. So we'll see. We'll just have to see how that plays out."
Okoro would not be easy to replace — the 6-foot-6 freshman ranks second on the team averaging 13.1 points per game on 50.9% shooting in 32 minutes per game as a starter. He also contributes 4.8 rebounds, one steal and one block per game while serving as arguably the team's best backcourt defender.
"Other guys got to step up and be able to find a way," Pearl said.
The "other guys" at Okoro's position are freshmen Allen Flanigan and Devan Cambridge. Neither would need to step into a starring role on a team that would still be led by seniors Samir Doughty, J'Von McCormick and Austin Wiley, but they could both be asked to play a lot more minutes.
Flanigan, like Okoro, is a big-bodied and capable defender, but he has not produced much offense this season, averaging only three points in 12.9 minutes per game. He has scored more than five points only five times all season, and not since a Jan. 15 loss at Alabama.
Cambridge has produced more offense on the whole, but he has been inconsistent — he scored 26 points against South Carolina on Jan. 22, 21 against LSU this past Saturday and 10 against Alabama on Wednesday, but is still averaging only 5.5 points in 12.8 minutes per game since the start of SEC play.
Auburn could also decide to play senior Danjel Purifoy more at the small forward spot with Anfernee McLemore at power forward and Wiley at center. Purifoy has started 21 games at power forward this season and has played there for most of his college career, but he was a natural three coming out of Hargrave Military Academy before the Tigers moved him to the four out of necessity.
Purifoy missed Saturday's game against LSU due to the flu but returned Wednesday against Alabama. He scored only three points in nine minutes, but he is expected to be full-go against Missouri. For the season, he's averaging 9.3 points and 4.9 rebounds in 27.2 minutes per game.
"Danjel practiced yesterday," Pearl said Friday. "We did not go hard yesterday simply because physically and mentally these games take a toll. I know I hear from our fans all the time what kind of toll it takes on them. It takes a toll on us, too. We definitely wanted a rest yesterday, but he did get a good workout and we'll practice today. We'll have a contact practice before we get on that bus and head to the airport. Hopefully, we'll see how he does, but I would anticipate he's back."
Pearl said there's a chance that Auburn could extend the rotation with someone like freshman power forward Jaylin Williams, too.
"It's possible, with foul trouble, that Jaylin's got to be ready, for sure. That's definitely a possibility," Pearl said. "Jaylin is really good every day in practice. It's been great watching his maturity, his getting bigger and stronger and more physical. Offensively, he could play right now. He's good to go. Defensively, it's just about learning."
If there is a silver lining to this situation, it's that Auburn has already gotten through arguably its toughest stretch of conference play — at Ole Miss, vs. Kentucky, at Arkansas, vs. LSU, at Alabama — with a perfect 5-0 record. Both Missouri (11-13, 3-8 SEC) and Auburn's next opponent, Georgia (12-12, 2-9), sit in the bottom three of the league standings.
Missouri will also be shorthanded Saturday — coach Cuonzo Martin announced Friday that guard Mark Smith and forward Jeremiah Tilmon, the team's second- and fourth-leading scorers at 10.9 and 8.5 points per game, respectively, will not play against Auburn.
But we don't know yet what that Auburn team looks like without Okoro. There seems a good chance we'll find out Saturday.
"They're one of the better defensive teams in our league," Pearl said of Missouri. "They're forcing about 15 turnovers a game right now, which is 25th in the country. They're third in the league in allowing points. They allow just 65 points a game. When they score 70 points, they're 8-2. We give up about 70.6 points. They're 9-3 at home. They play better at home. They've got some great wins. They've beaten Illinois. They won at Temple. They beat Florida at home. As you would expect from a Cuonzo Martin-coached team, they're fully engaged.
"They know they can beat people."

A: You are looping through the entire range and adding it to listview and hence you are getting all the data. Check if the value matches TextBox1.Text and then add them.
Is this what you are trying (Untested)?
Dim item As ListItem
Dim linhafinal As Integer

ListView8.ListItems.Clear

linhafinal = k + 1

For i = 2 To linhafinal
    If ws1.Cells(i, 1).Value = TextBox1.Text Then
        Set item = ListView8.ListItems.Add(, , ws1.Cells(i, 1))
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 2)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 3)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 4)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 5)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 6)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 7)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 8)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 9)
        item.ListSubItems.Add Text:=ws1.Cells(i, 10)
    End If
Next

Alternatively after you filter the range, loop through the visible range and then add them to the listview. Currently you code is adding all of them...

File this under Stuff We Know But Don't Want To Acknowledge: Recently published research finds that greater numbers of Americans are choosing not to follow a healthy lifestyle. It's not that we don't know how to eat and what to do, doctors at the Medical University Of South Carolina find. We just don't wanna do it.
Investigators in the university's Department of Family Medicine followed a large group of people in the U.S. from 1998 to 1994 and then from 2001 to 2006. (The research is published in the June issue of The American Journal of Medicine.) Their body masses and alcoholic intake went up, their exercise rate and fruit-and-veggie consumption went down. A lot.
What small efforts are you going to make today? Post a comment and make your commitment for the whole world to see!
The American College of Sports Medicine just released its annual ranking of fittest U.S. cities, with Washington, D.C. in the top slot. (Looks like Michelle Obama and her super-toned arms are in the right place.) The index looked at the country's 50 most populated ciites and ranked them using a number of criteria, including the percentage of people who exercise regularly and the availability of parks and routes to walk on. Some of the cities are surprising — check out the full list here.
Desserts I don't usually eat? Check.
A fun, relaxing weekend of not doing much of anything? Check.
The need to get back to non-vacation-style eating pronto? Check… check check check.
To help me even out the balance for my holiday indulgences, I'm going to make some gazpacho. It tastes good. It's all veggies. It's easy to make. It's filling. And it's served cold, which feels so nice in this balmy weather we're having in the northeast.
Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped If you don't have a food processor, an immersion blender will do the trick. But don't overprocess! After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.


The Flat Rate Scheme (FRS) for VAT can be a very convenient option for smaller businesses, which is why many Limited Company contractors choose this method. The FRS makes it much easier to work out how much VAT is payable and it simplifies administration. However, if you're currently looking at registering for VAT, it's worth spending some time ensuring that you're registering under the most appropriate VAT percentage rate for the actual activities you perform for your clients. With rates ranging from 4% – 14.5% depending on the business activity – referred to by HMRC as a 'trade sector' – registering under the wrong rate for what you actually do could result in paying either too little or too much VAT.
HMRC has over 50 trade sector definitions to select from. Although HMRC will give a suggestion for the most appropriate sector to choose based on the information given to them, this does not have to be followed. The contractor, as owner of their company, has the final decision on which sector to register under. This makes sense as you, the contractor, know specifically what you actually do for your clients.
For contractors who have reasonably defined functions, such as accountants and IT consultants, selecting a trade sector that matches their business activities is likely to be easy and clear-cut. If, however, the business activity is more unusual or specialised it may prove difficult to find a 'best fit' from the definitions available. Where this is the case and there is an element of consultancy in the contractor's role, HMRC advice under VAT Notice 733 is that the Management Consultancy sector should be selected. This would apply even if the contractor's activities don't fit 'the traditional idea of a management consultancy'. The current rate for this sector is 14%. While many will opt for this as a 'safe' choice, in practice this does not fit all contractors' activities, so there is an alternative. The work some contractors do may legitimately fall into 'Business services that are not listed elsewhere'. If it does, the current rate for this sector is 12%, which is a 2% difference from the higher Management Consultancy rate. This demonstrates that it is important to choose exactly the right sector.
This slightly grey area has, unsurprisingly, been the subject of contention and court cases with HMRC. If you're in doubt about which sector to choose, seek expert advice from your contractor accountant.
For contractors who do a range of activities, the sector chosen should match the main functions the contractor gets paid for performing. This means that, even if earnings come from a variety of activities which could be described under different sectors, only one rate can be applied. This must be the rate for the sector which constitutes the majority of business income.
Remember, under the FRS, all income, from whichever source, will have the same VAT rate applied to it. This is another incentive to ensure the rate you're registered under isn't higher than it should be.
If the sector chosen on initial registration no longer fits, as long as the original choice can be seen as reasonable at the time, HMRC are unlikely to have an issue. They won't demand back-payments of VAT either, so it's not disastrous. All they will expect is that the new rate is applied in future.


A personal injury causes not only physical damage, but emotional harm as well. The injuries sustained by an individual and the events which caused it can truly be life-altering.

Premises liability imposes a duty on the owner or operator of real property to protect visitors from unreasonable risks of harm by maintaining the property in a safe and reasonable manner. Because of the high degree of proof necessary to prevail, premises liability claims, such as slip and fall and trip and fall accidents, are complex and require an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Call an experienced Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer and allow them to review your case on a free consultation so they can determine whether some other party's negligence may have been the cause of your injury.
Motorcycle accidents occur at an alarming rate and often result in serious injuries as motorcycles are unequipped with the safety features necessary to withstand high-impact collisions with other vehicles or stationary objects.

While often undesired, business dissolution is the final stage in the life of a corporation. It refers to the process by which a corporation is legally dissolved.

Automobiles, prescription drugs, bicycles, clothing, machinery, food, and toys are all examples of common consumer goods that millions of Americans come into contact with on a daily basis. When people purchase these items they do so with a reasonable expectation that the products will function, operate, or perform like they are supposed to without subjecting the user to harm. Unfortunately, businesses adhere to a profit first mindset and often cut corners at the expense of the consumer. In some cases, cutting corners results in defective or dangerous products that injure and kill thousands of people each year. At Cohen & McMullen, P.A., we have the knowledge and skills necessary to help determine if the seller, manufacturer, or distributor is responsible for the defective product.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury as the hands of a dangerous or defective product, we encourage you to contact an experienced South Florida products liability attorney immediately. As a member of the unsuspecting public, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Years of predatory and subprime lending led to the worst real estate crisis in U.S. history and coincided with the nationwide banking emergency and U.S. recession in 2007. In Florida, the constant speculation and run-up in prices resulted in one of the state's largest real estate booms before it all came crashing down. As recent as June 2013, foreclosures in Florida continued to soar despite the nationwide rebound in housing and real estate markets.
The attorneys at Cohen & McMullen are a highly skilled, aggressive, and experienced team dedicated to protecting the rights of homeowners and investors from both residential and commercial foreclosures throughout South Florida. Banks, mortgage lenders, and mortgage servicing companies routinely make mistakes throughout the lending process which leaves them susceptible to a properly prepared defense plan during foreclosure proceedings.
If you are facing foreclosure and are unsure of your options, we encourage you to contact a South Florida foreclosure defense attorney so that you can quickly and properly develop a foreclosure defense strategy.
In many cases, time is all a family needs in order to get back on their feet and remain in their home. However, other options to foreclosure include short sale, strategic default, deed-in-lieu, and mortgage modification. Utilization of these alternatives may prevent foreclosure and deficiency judgments.
Foreclosure creates is an extremely complex and strenuous process which you should not have to undertake alone. Contact Cohen & McMullen and we will be help you fight back.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there were approximately 9.7 million police-reported traffic crashes in 2012. That means each year hundreds of thousands of exotic and high-performance vehicles like Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin, Range Rover, Porsche, Mercedes, etc., are involved in collisions. And anyone who has ever owned or contemplated owning a piece of machinery in this upper echelon is guaranteed to know a few things: first, these vehicles are incredibly expensive to repair no matter how minute the damage may be; and second, once these vehicles suffer any sort of damage (structural or body), their resale value plummets by the thousands. It is for this reason that an area of the law has been created to compensate individuals whose automobiles have been damaged.
Florida has adopted a legal treatise known as the Restatement of Torts ("Restatement"). The Restatement was developed by the American Law Institute and serves as a guide of sorts for judges and attorneys with respect to a specific set of topics. Now more than ever, common sense tells us that when a vehicle is damaged in an accident and is subsequently repaired, the value of the vehicle has still been reduced. This is known as diminution of value. Advancements in technology and the creation of automotive information websites like CarFax have equipped the secondary market–i.e. buyers of pre-owned automobiles–with extensive research capabilities and increased buying power. In a matter of minutes, would-be buyers can retrieve a complete vehicle history for several dollars. When the market dictated by these buyers determines that your vehicle is worth less as a result of this accident, the law has recognizes that simply repairing the vehicle may not make the injured party whole.
(b) the loss of use.
It is also worth noting that the risk of reasonable but unsuccessful attempts to repair is borne by the tortfeasor so that the damages recoverable may increase if repairs are unsuccessful.
Loss of use is a separate claim distinct from that of diminution of value. However, like its counterpart, its origin stems from common law but has since been included in the Restatement, Section 931. A claim for loss of use compensates a vehicle owner for the time period during which the vehicle is being repaired. This period of time includes the duration reasonably necessary to procure parts for the damaged vehicle and complete the repairs.
To quantify 'loss of value' is terms of recovery, the rental value of an equally equipped car is indicative of the loss suffered. However, there is no requirement that you rent the same or similar vehicle in order to make a claim. In fact, Florida case law has indicated that renting a vehicle in any sense while the damaged one is being repaired is not a prerequisite to recovering for this loss of use. One must only have been deprived of the use of your automobile for some period of time.
Based on the complex issues that often arise in this area of the law it is wise to consult an experienced Fort Lauderdale diminution of value attorney who is seasoned in these matters. If you believe that you have been deprived the use of your vehicle or have suffered a decrease in value of your vehicle, contact your Fort Lauderdale diminution of value attorneys at Cohen & McMullen, P.A.

Glass falls from NYC building weeks after spinning crane sends debris flying
MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- Precautions are being taken after glass fell from the same building where a spinning crane sent large chunks of debris falling to the street below weeks ago.
West 57th Street was temporarily closed from Fifth Avenue to Seventh Avenue on Tuesday after glass fell Sunday night from the same Midtown apartment building that forced the same closure last month.
The Buildings Department has determined the glass fell from the 56th floor of 111 West 57 Street, the high-rise apartment building under construction that was also the site of Oct. 29 falling debris.
RELATED | Video: Spinning crane sends chunks of debris falling onto NYC streets
A full stop work order has been issued for an under-construction Midtown Manhattan high-rise after a spinning crane sent large chunks of debris falling to the street below.
A partial stop work order was issued for exterior work on the building, other than to make repairs to the broken glass panel.
U.S. Crane and Rigging received a $10,000 violation from the October incident.
The condo tower is on what is referred to as "Billionaires Row," and apartments in the building go for more than $30 million.
It was eight years ago on the same block in Midtown during Superstorm Sandy when parts of a crane came tumbling down from 70 floors up on a construction site. Fortunately, no one was injured in that incident either.

This is really good. Pure, focused, with great balance. Layers of tangerine, Asian pear, apple blossoms and minerals. The finish is long and so satisfying.
"A juicy, lively effort, the 2012 Charles Smith Chardonnay Eve is another superb value from this team. Citrus blossom, mineral and hints of lime emerge from the glass, and this medium-bodied, refreshing white will drink nicely for a year or three. "

Schneider Electric ranked world's most sustainable company by Corporate Knights
NEWSPOWER
By Majorwaves	 Last updated Sep 4, 2021
Leading company in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric, has been ranked the world's most sustainable corporation, in a prestigious annual list compiled by Corporate Knights, a media and research company focused on corporate sustainability performance.
The recognition which coincides with the Schneider Electric's announcement of its accelerated sustainability programme marks a big jump from 29th place the previous year and represents a high-profile external acknowledgement of the company's long-standing commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Schneider Electric Jean-Pascal Tricoire, while reacting to the achievement in a press statement, said the award was a reflection of the company's drive towards sustainability and making the world greener and more inclusive.
"We are honoured and grateful to be ranked number one by Corporate Knights. It is a major encouragement for our teams and partners, and a great recognition of more than 15 years of engagement to make our company and the world greener and more inclusive. Sustainability is a journey that we accomplish with our people, partners, suppliers, customers and communities where we operate. This recognition goes also to all of them."
Corporate Knights' 2021 ranking was based on an assessment of 8,080 companies with more than US$1 billion in revenues. Performance indicators include evaluations of how much renewable energy and waste companies generate
The Toronto-based company identified Schneider Electric's steady shift towards products and services that help customers manage their energy needs more efficiently and safely.
According to the CEO of Corporate Knights, Toby Heaps; "In recent decades, Schneider Electric has shifted its focus to data centres; storage and other distributed energy resources; and smart solutions that advance electrification, energy efficiency and renewability. It now earns 70% of its revenue from, and directs 73% of its investments toward, sustainable solutions, Schneider Electric also performs strongly in racial and gender diversity and in resource productivity and safety."
In another development, General Manager, Sub-Saharan Africa, Process Automation, Schneider Electric, Ajibola Akindele, has called on stakeholders of Nigeria's power sector to augment investment in the power sector so as to enable the country achieve her industrialization goal.
Akindele who gave the charge recently, in an interview with Arise TV, averred that the country needs to create the necessary framework for private sector investments.
"We have had several years of under-investment in the power sector.
If you look back at the last 30 years, particularly between 1989, to 2007, there was no major investment in the power sector. The country was just spending enough to stabilize the grid infrastructure. The sector needs investments in order to accelerate GDP growth and create jobs," said Akindele.
He further noted that based on general consensus by experts in the power sector, the country needs between $3-5 billion annual spend over the next 15 years to achieve industrialization. While these are huge amounts, he expects that some funding could come from Government, International Development Agencies and from the Private sector. All available funding options must be explored and investors should be given the necessary incentives and where necessary guarantees to ensure they can make a decent return on their investments.
In conclusion, he highlighted that though there has been some positive developments in the power sector recently; these are not enough and we need to move much faster to improve electrification rates and reliability of the grid.

Travel to India is no way different from food travel for a foodie. Be you in north, south, west, or, east, Indian cuisine is as varied as the world geography.

If you are traveling to India to celebrate Dussehra in Mysore, you would love to bookmark and share our article on traditional Indian food to eat in Mysore. Indian Eagle shares with you some useful South India food travel tips, too.
Dosa, Idli and Vada are the ruling snacks in the cuisine of Mysore. Though Dosa, Idli and Vada top the breakfast menu at restaurants in Mysore, the city is busy preparing and serving these items all the day. You will find 10 different varieties of dosa in Mysore, but Masala dosa is one of the yummiest and most popular Indian foods. Dosa, Idli and Vada are traditionally served with sambhar and coconut chutney. Don't deprive your taste buds of different idli varieties – Rava idli, Thatte idli and Maligae idli. Mysore Bonda and Mysore Bajji are unique to the South Indian food culture. Bonda is crispy outside and soft inside. Having a plate of smoking hot Mysore bonda is a sinful indulgence for the foodie like you. Varieties of Mysore Bajji are as many as dosa varieties. Potato bajji, Onion bajji, Chilli bajji, Bread bajji, Applam bajji – the list goes on!
It is as important to know what to eat at the lunch time as to know where to eat in Mysore. The typical Mysore lunch will give you a taste of traditional South Indian food. Most of the restaurants across the city serve food on banana leaves. The lunch menu starts with cereal salad Kosambri. It is followed by Huli, a dense broth of boiled vegetables and lentils, spiced with chilli powder and tamarid juice. Huli is both tangy and sour in taste. Gojju is another traditional vegetable curry. Palyas, rasam, papad, pickle and curd are some of the other items on the Mysore lunch menu. Pickle, papad and curd are the essential add-ons, served in lunch and dinner meals. Coconut, tamarind and chilli are common ingredients in the South Indian cooking of dishes in Mysore.
Your affair with Indian food in Mysore will remain an incomplete story without a mouthful of Mysore sweets. Mysore Pak is one of the most popular sweets in the South Indian cuisine. Part and parcel of traditional Indian food culture in South India, this sweet delicacy is made of gram flour, pure ghee and sugar.

Q: Laravel PHP, trying to redirect to an id I am a beginner with php and laravel. I have recently created a form at the bottom of my website, that when you click the submit button it sends the data to an email address.
However if you don't fill it in correctly and click submit it refreshes the page and returns to the top of the page. If you submit the form correctly it goes to /contact.
What I am desperate to do is keep the page at the same point on the website (with the form on the screen) instead of refreshing the screen. Same if the form is submitted correctly I would like the screen to stay still.
Routes/web.php:
Route::get('/', 'PagesController@home');

Route::get('about', 'PagesController@about');

Route::get('contact',
  ['as' => 'contact', 'uses' => 'AboutController@create']);

    {!! Form::close() !!}

I am also new to using stackoverflow, so I apologise ahead if I have missed anything or done anything incorrectly. Please let me know if you need anything more.

A: Can't really understand your problem, but try to add this in your store() method:
return \Redirect::back()->with('message', 'Thanks for contacting us!');

But it looks like you want to submit/validate your forms without refreshing the page, so the only solution for this is to use AJAX requests.

A: May be this can be something. Using the validation helper.
function store(ContactFormRequest $request)
    {
    $this->validate($request, [
        'name' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required',
        'number' => 'required',
        'message' => 'required',
    ]);

    // If !$this->validate Laravel will automatic return to the previous page (the form page)
    // And you can grab the errors with $errors->first('name'), $errors->first('email') etc

        \Mail::send('emails.contact',
            array(
                'name' => $request->get('name'),
                'email' => $request->get('email'),
                'number' => $request->get('number'),
                'user_message' => $request->get('message')
                ), function($message)
        {
            $message->from('sketchsitestest@gmail.com');
            $message->to('sketchsitestest@gmail.com', 'Admin')->subject('Testing');
        });

        return \Redirect::route('contact')->with('message', 'Thanks for contacting us!');
    }

Grab the errors like this:
@if ($errors->has('message'))

        {{ $errors->first('message') }}

@endif

Here you the docs about the validation, if you are using Laravel 5.3

Elisabeth Condon (b. 1959) is a contemporary American painter who combines natural imagery, the built environment, and abstraction in her free-flowing synthetic landscapes.

Vivid color palettes and contrasting organic and geometric shapes characterize Condon's work. So too does a deliberate mixing of painting techniques, from careful rendering to loose gesture. Indeed, Condon seems to intentionally defy adherence to any single standard. Forms, places, and times move seamlessly into one another, transformed and organized by a sense rhythm divorced from reality. In her depictions of stacked spaces, history and geography are collapsed. The landscapes depicted are both themselves altered by human interaction, and the ensuing paintings feel like idiosyncratic records of Condon's mind and her imaginings of the space. As one critic puts it: "the result feels like a dream or memory suddenly, if fleetingly, made visible." Viewing Condon's paintings, imbued as they are with this intense personal quality, consequently feels "a bit like reading her diary: strangely disorienting at first, then disarming and familiar."

Themes and motifs

Pastiche

The concept of pastiche is critical to understanding Condon's practice.  It is evident both in the range and unlikeliness of the source material she uses, and in her final compositions, which feel like odd remixes of painting styles that combine into something wholly new.

Condon draws inspiration from a wide variety of source material, from the 1970s LA glam rock scene to children's picture books to news photographs from the Iraq war.  Critic Edward Gomez comments: "Her interests and influences are as diverse and unpredictable as her compositions are well-balanced and complete, even inevitable." The connections among her subjects often seem tenuous, but Condon is able to draw out unexpected similarities. "In lesser hands that might be a recipe for disaster" critic Van Siclen notes. "But Condon makes it work, deftly fusing the free-flowing, nonlinear perspective of Chinese painting with the free-flowing, nonlinear logic of the Seuss books."

Condon mixes both media and styles in her work. In addition to paint, she has employed Mylar sheets, metallics, glitter and rhinestones. She has command of a wide range of styles, from traditional landscape techniques to Chinese brush painting to patterning borrowed from graphic design, which makes "for multi-layered, exuberant work." The graphic layers act as a ground for her organic, sensual figures. She employs every use of paint handling from delicate transparent washes to thick impasto.  And she borrows elements from art movements from disparate times and places, from ancient China to the French Informel to Color Field painting. One critic even compares her work to cartoons for the "bold colors and expressions."

Critics often comment on the difficulty of making such dissimilar elements work in a final composition: "It's a pastiche of four styles. The colors are weird. The abstract portions won't settle into their abstractness, and the figurative portions don't amount to anything recognizable. It looks like it was painted by committee. And yet the painting is working."

This mix of styles and influences is distinctly postmodern and expressive of the current technological environment, where input of ideas, news, and images from around the world is fast-paced and unceasing.

Chinese scroll painting
Born in Los Angeles, Condon was drawn to Asian culture and aesthetics filtered through home decor, Disney, and fantasy television. Through her travels and studies, Condon has become deeply influenced by ancient Chinese painting and philosophy, as well as the experience of living in modern Asian cities.  In 2004, on a residency in Taiwan, she began to practice Chinese painting techniques, which emphasize variety in texture and inflection, as well as improvisation.

She draws from Yuan Dynasty scrolls the philosophy that a landscape painting is a portrait of an artist's inner life. She also borrows a complex sense of space and perspective, where different points of view are forged into one multi-layer and time-compressed experience. The resulting compositions have a real sense of space, but they are also puzzles, impossible to make sense of.

Condon learned sumi-e brush painting, which is as much a mediation practice as it is a painting technique, where form and gesture are united in a single stroke: "the form is created from gesture. It's all about the quality of line. In western art, it's all about volume."  She often depicts "the four gentlemen" of Chinese painting: bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum, and plum blossom.

In discussion of her own work, she often mentions the concept of emptiness and fullness, which she learned from sumi-e painting. Whereas the western painting tradition values contrast and opposition, Condon seeks a delicate balance between fullness and emptiness in her compositions.

She is also inspired by a splashed-ink method that can be found in some painting and pottery of the Later Tang Dynasty. She translates this ancient method into her modern take on paint pouring.

Paint pouring and direct experience
Condon often begins a composition with pouring acrylic or oil paint, so that the kinetic quality of the material creates unexpected forms and effects. Her use of paint has been compared to Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler (of whom Condon is a great admirer). Critic Franklin Einspruch comments on the essentialness of the paint pour to Condon's practice: "Pours are structural necessities in her work. They provide the primal soup from which her pictures emerge. Condon's pours are at the intersection of crossed axes, one between image and shape, the other between pattern and gesture, offering the potential in subsequent layers to transform into any of them."

She pairs uncontrolled blobs and trails of paint with her detailed renderings of buildings, trees, and flowers.  Since she does not plan out compositions beforehand, forms seems emerge organically out of the accident of the pour and materiality of paint.  Says Condon, "I'm completely spontaneous. I start with pours of paint, so that painting becomes like taking a trip, with contingencies and unexpected outcomes."

This accidental, transformational, action-based method contributes to a sense energy and directness to her work: "The dynamism of Condon's all-over compositions feels self-propelled, and it's easy to imagine them stretching far beyond their borders into an endless, gyrating flow of birds, plants and streams of luscious, electric, energized color."

The pours make the materiality of paint central to the finished work. As one critic puts it: the paint is a "torrent of material…[creating] a visual parallel to an unstoppable flood of water. This is what happens when paint is allowed to be just that, paint; it is thick, unwieldy and beautifully itself."

The energy in her paintings connects back to her fascination with Chinese art and the belief that a painting must have qi, or a vital life force.

Travel

The theme of place is crucial to her work. Condon travels frequently for artist residencies, and her globetrotting is evident in her paintings. Each new place works its way into her psyche and becomes a new layer or reference. "The idea of the pour as violent and sudden and the reconstruction out of that shock echoes the concept of modern travel," Condon said. "Your whole ethos is impacted by where you are."

Her landscapes feature references to places as far away as Taiwan, Beijing, and Australia, as well as her native California and homes in Florida and Manhattan. She incorporates imagery from environments as diverse as the Everglades to the Grand Canyon to dense urban spaces.

One painting can contain myriad spaces or timelines layered over one another: "Paintings hide beneath paintings in each painting. The surfaces build from stain to film to opacity. The imagery crosses from east to west coast, and east to west hemisphere, with the ease and speed of ideas."

Femininity

In the wake of her 2014 residency in Shanghai, Condon has been embracing imagery that is considered feminine or kitsch such as flowers and birds. In Shanghai she recognized the importance of decoration to the urban landscape and classical Chinese painting.

Reexamining her experience from a feminist perspective, she began drawing inspiration from suburban home decor.  She reconsidered her mother's "obsessive decorating" of her childhood home, an aesthetic that had at one time been only a symbol of her family's stifling conservatism, and transformed it into an important element of her work. She now uses vintage wallpaper patterns as a visual element in her work, and recounts asking her mother for leftover wallpaper and fabric samples to use in her studio. The plum blossom in particular is not only of central importance to Chinese art, it also appeared on the wallpaper of her childhood bedroom.

With their domestic references, sumptuous colors, floral imagery, and use of pretty materials like glitter, her paintings engage with the world's disdain for a certain gender, class, and aesthetic taste.  Like other Pattern and Decoration Artists, Condon reclaims her personal experience and love of beauty, asserting the importance and potential for intellectual rigor in such work. It is particularly powerful to use such imagery in large-scale, abstract work, a painting tradition that is dominated by men, expressing the feminist emphasis on personal experience, rather than a pure vision of an overarching narrative that is the project of abstract expressionism.

In the current political climate and in the wake of the #metoo Movement, "these are also deceptively political paintings. The decorative here in Condon's painting serves as a formal device and a marker of "feminine" identity asserting itself against a culture of reactionary values."

Condon says of her own use of flowers: "The fleeting lifespan of flowers is mirrored by our own, as well as our environment and history. Flowers are sexual, feminine, autonomous, and dismissed as minor. As such they dwell in the margins, free from scrutiny. My flowers are fissured, on the brink of collapse; glowing with internal light, like fire, before they curdle and die."

Early work
In her earliest professional work, Condon made dolls portraits- as she describes it, as a method of recreating her childhood. However, the paintings were about more than nostalgia for a time of innocence. The paintings are described as both funny and unsettling: "ambiguity and conflict are recurring themes… Elisabeth Condon's deceptively decorative paintings are hardly distinguishable from the children she depicts, blurring the distinction between reality and fantasy."

Public work

Condon's first major public commission was at the Tampa Airport in 2017. In 2018 Condon installed a permanent public work at the Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard station, commissioned by MTA Arts & Design. The piece, entitled Urban Idyll, consists of thirty-six laminated glass panels that are translations of elements from her paintings. The theme is the Tree of Life, and it features birds, leaves, and flowers. Reflecting Astoria's cinematic history, the long, linear compositions recall sheet music or film frames.

Bio
Elisabeth Condon was born in Los Angeles.  She completed her BFA in Painting at Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design in 1986, as well as studying at UCSD for 1 year and UCLA for 2 years.  She completed her MFA in Painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1990 before moving to Brooklyn in 1992. She has taught extensively in Florida, and travelled widely for research and residencies. She curates exhibitions about topics that are relevant to her own practice, including paint pouring and contemporary reinterpretations of classical Asian painting. Condon has also run an art criticism blog, Raggedy Ann's Foot, since 2007.

Career
Condon has exhibited extensively in the US and internationally since 1998.

She has participated in over 20 residencies and fellowships in Beijing, Taiwan, Shanghai, Spain, and the UK, along with locations across the United States, notably the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH; the Everglades National Park; the Grand Canyon National Park; Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, NY; the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT; and Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists Residency in Saugatuck, MI

Home » Cisco Kids Battle Disruption
Cisco Kids Battle Disruption
By Tony Clark, 2-Dooz Inc. – August 26, 2014 (Original Publication Date)
Technology disruption is like a game of musical chairs. The beginning of each new upset is akin to a song which forces all of the affected suppliers to rise from their seats and circle the now empty chairs. In theory, every player in musical chairs has an equal chance to secure one of the seats while the music plays. But in practice, the bigger and faster kids always seem to prevail. They muscle, out-quick and exploit other advantages to ensure themselves a seat when the music ends. Cisco is now facing the Cloud and Software Define Networking (SDN) music, but in all likelihood they will not be the one left without a seat. At least in the enterprise, they've seemingly managed to highjack the cue to play the music.
It is widely acknowledged that the Cloud and SDN are two concurrent disruptive technology themes that Cisco is facing. Yet, John Chambers failed to cite either as a key challenge during the company's August 13, 2014 earnings conference call. Instead, Chambers proactively addressed Cisco's less than stellar fiscal year 2014 performance by pointing to the following key headwinds: "the federal government shutdown and the possibility of a U.S. default, combined with significant slowdown in emerging markets." Moreover, Chambers noted, "Our innovation this period has secured us the leadership position in cloud and hybrid cloud, made us the recognized leader with our customers in SDN, and has driven new opportunities with customers embracing the Internet of Everything." Cloud and SDN leadership: say what?
It turns out that Chambers is probably right. Before explaining why, a little digression is helpful. The Cisco Kid is an American Western television series starring Duncan Renaldo in the lead role as Cisco and Leo Carrillo as his sidekick Poncho—best known for his catchphrase "Oh Ceesco!" Production began on the series in 1949. Cisco and Pancho are revered as Western Robin Hoods. The TV show inspired the band War's hit song "The Cisco Kid." The likeable caballero's where also depicted in comic books, in a radio series, and in the movies.
When I started my career, the prevailing wisdom regarding IT was that no-one ever got fired for buying IBM. In the intervening years, Cisco assumed this mantle by, in part, leveraging its various Cisco Certified Experts educational tracks to amass an army of trained loyalists. Each Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) pledges their allegiance by investing thousands of their own dollars and 18 months of their time on average to secure certification. After such a significant investment they become unabashed advocates for Cisco within the companies they work. The CCIE network engineers are modern day Cisco Kids. They are the protectors and benefactors of Cisco's success. These droves and droves of true believers have for now muted the impact of any possible Cloud or SDN disruption on Cisco in the enterprise. Returning to the musical chairs analogy, the CCIEs are preventing the music from even being played. In the enterprise, Cisco needn't bother to get out of its seat.
In War's musical classic titled "The Cisco Kid," the band pays a tribute to the old western. Lyrics include "The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine" and "The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort … Cisco came in blastin, drinkin port." Cisco Systems' CCIEs are the new Cisco Kids, blasting the Cloud and SDN threats while holding down the enterprise fort. Chambers said as much in Cisco's recent investor conference call, commenting "we saw strength around the globe in our enterprise business, up over 9%." Cisco Kids are a friend of mine …
Those are my thoughts. As always, I invite and look forward to learning what you think.
