Munich Re takes positive stock of Dii power-from-the-desert initiative
One year after the foundation of Dii GmbH – the planning entity for the initiative to generate power from the desert – Munich Re's assessment is positive: "We are satisfied with how Dii is progressing. It was and is a ground-breaking initiative that we launched with partners a year ago. Its aim is nothing less than the implementation of a vision to generate electricity from the desert. Realisation of this vision will benefit us all – North Africa and the Middle East through their own stable energy supply as a basis for sustainable economic growth in the region, the global climate through the expansion of renewable energies, and lastly the companies that pioneer such projects", said Torsten Jeworrek, Munich Re's Reinsurance CEO.
Dii GmbH was founded on 30 October 2009 with its head office in Munich, following the signing – three months before at the initiative of Munich Re and the Desertec Foundation – of a memorandum of understanding with eleven other companies to develop a commercial industry initiative. The company's objective is to come up with investment plans by the end of 2012 for the private sector to produce power from renewable sources like sun and wind in the MENA region (Middle East, North Africa). In the meantime, the consortium has 18 (soon 19) shareholders, while the initiative is currently supported by over 30 associated partners. At an international conference in Barcelona, also attended by EU Commissioner Günther Oettinger, Dii has now presented an interim report on its activities and its further plans.
Jeworrek emphasised the importance of the initiative in the light of climate change and the move towards renewable energies that will be required in the medium term. "Climate change is perhaps the greatest challenge faced by humanity. Weather-related natural catastrophes are showing a rising trend both in number and in intensity, and we believe that climate change is a contributory factor. We cannot wait until there is 100% certainty, but consider it is important and wise to act now. That is one of the reasons why we backed the vision of power from the desert in 2009 – because visions can change the world. And if they do, the pioneers benefit," he said.
"What we can contribute is our risk know-how. With appropriate risk-transfer solutions, we will support technology firms in the commercial use of new products in the renewable-energy field and facilitate the financing of such projects for investors. And we are prepared to make investments of our own in such plants", stressed Jeworrek. Munich Re has set itself the goal of expanding its own investments in renewable energy to up to €2.5bn in the coming years.

LEAGUE'S FREE SPEECH ASSAILED
Home/Catalyst/Front Page/LEAGUE'S FREE SPEECH ASSAILED
On the night of the Catholic League's rally against "Corpus Christi," People for the American Way led a small band of anti-free speech protesters objecting to the league's First Amendment right to voice its opposition to the play. Joining the attack on the Catholic League's free speech was the National Campaign for Freedom of Expression, National Coalition Against Censorship, PEN American Center and Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts.
From the beginning, the league has argued that the play should not be censored by the government but that the producers of the play should have canceled it in the name of common decency.
William Donohue said that People for the Fascist Way would be a more accurate title for the organization leading the anti-speech rally and made the following statement to the press regarding this issue:
"The reason why Barbara Handman, vice president of 'People,' is leading the charge against the First Amendment is because she delights in exhibitions that assault the sensibilities of Catholics. She once told me that the Andres Serrano display of a crucifix submerged in a jar of urine was 'glorious' and 'reverential.' Given this mind-set, it is not surprising that she loves the idea of a Christ-like figure having sex with the apostles. But her enthusiasm for indecency is one thing, it is quite another when her debased appetite descends to gag speech."

The IRS recently published new proposed regulations providing guidance on cafeteria plans (sometimes called Section 125 plans). These proposed regulations withdraw other proposed regulations that had been published in 1984, 1989, 1997 and 2000. Even though the new regulations are not yet final, employers will want to review their cafeteria plans for compliance, since the IRS has said that employers can rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.
Code Section 125 is the exclusive means by which an employer can offer employees a choice between taxable and nontaxable benefits without the choice itself resulting in inclusion in gross income by the employees.
A cafeteria plan is defined as a separate written plan that must describe all benefits, set forth the rules for eligibility to participate and the procedure for making elections, provide that all elections are irrevocable (except to the extent the plan includes the optional change in status rules), and state how employer contributions may be made under the plan, the maximum amount of elective contributions and the plan year.
If the plan does not satisfy the requirements of Code Section 125 and the regulations, the plan is not a cafeteria plan. Some reasons a plan would fail to satisfy the cafeteria plan requirements include: offering nonqualified benefits; not offering an election between at least one permitted taxable benefit and at least one qualified benefit; failing to comply with the use-it-or-lose-it rule; allowing employees to revoke elections or make new elections; failing to comply with the substantiation requirements and failing to comply with the grace period rules.
Former employees may participate in a cafeteria plan so long as the plan is not maintained predominantly for former employees.
A cafeteria plan may provide for payment of COBRA premiums for an employee.
A short plan year (or a change in plan year resulting in a short plan year) is permitted only for a valid business purpose.
Cafeteria plans may provide an optional election for new employees between cash and qualified benefits. New employees avoid gross income inclusion if they make an election within 30 days after the date of hire even if benefits provided pursuant to the election relate back to the date of hire.
Employers may reimburse a terminated employee's qualified dependent care expenses incurred after termination if all Code Section 129 requirements are otherwise satisfied.
Experience gains (forfeitures) may be retained by the plan sponsor, may be used to defray expenses of administering the plan or may be allocated among employees contributing through salary reduction on a reasonable and uniform basis.
All expenses must be substantiated. Substantiating only a limited number of total claims or not substantiating claims below a certain dollar amount does not satisfy the proposed regulations.
Additional guidance is provided on the nondiscrimination rules, including definitions of key terms, guidance on the eligibility test and the contributions and benefits tests, descriptions of employees allowed to be excluded from testing, and a safe harbor nondiscrimination test for premium-only plans.
If you have any questions regarding the new cafeteria plan proposed regulations, please contact a member of the Benefits Law Group.

Third Circuit Interprets Interstate Transportation-Related Compact as a Surrender of Compacting State's Authority to Enforce its Building Regulations
By James Newland & Bret Marfut on January 15, 2021
Posted in Construction Claims
Earlier this week, the Third Circuit held in Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission v. Secretary Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry that Pennsylvania ceded its authority to enforce its building code and safety regulations against the operator of a transportation facility, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission ("Commission"). The Commission is a bi-state entity created by an interstate compact between Pennsylvania and New Jersey ("Compact") and approved by Congress under the Constitution's Compact Clause.
The case highlights at least two key issues. First, the right to enforce the state's building codes, the right to inspect the work, and the right to enjoin the construction based upon the lack of a building permit or perceived violations may be waived even without an explicit waiver of those rights in the entity or commission's organizational document. Second, despite the broad interpretation of a state's Eleventh Amendment immunity, the federal courts retain equitable jurisdiction to enjoin a state official's ongoing violation of federal law.[i] In this case, the violation was the Secretary's attempt to "enforce Pennsylvania's building regulations against the Commission . . . ."[ii]
In this case, the Commission purchased land in Pennsylvania and began construction on a building without applying for a building permit that is normally required by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry's ("Department") regulations. The Department threatened the Commission with a stop-work order and one of its subcontractors with regulatory sanctions. In response, the Commission filed suit against the Secretary of the Department, seeking a declaration that the Secretary lacked authority to enforce Pennsylvania's building regulations absent express language in the Compact to that effect.
Notably, the Commission was able to file suit in federal court despite the Eleventh Amendment's ban on private-person-versus-state suits.[iii] The Third Circuit relied upon an exception to the Eleventh Amendment's bar and held the district court properly retained jurisdiction based upon its equitable power to enjoin a state official (the Secretary) from an ongoing violation of federal law. The Secretary's attempt to enforce Pennsylvania's building and safety regulations, ostensibly "as an exercise of its fundamental police powers to protect the health safety and welfare of its citizens[,]"[iv] violated the terms of the Compact because the terms of the Compact waived those rights. Because the Compact was approved by the Congress, federal law applied and the Secretary's violation of said federal law gave rise to the court's equitable power to enjoin the violation.
Applying ordinary contract-interpretation principles, the Third Circuit agreed with the district court and held that Pennsylvania ceded its authority to enforce its building safety regulations through the Compact. Specifically, the court held that language in the Compact granting the Commission power to acquire and make improvements to property, along with language giving the Commission power over "all other matters in connection with . . . [its] facilities," surrendered Pennsylvania's authority over building safety regulations. Likewise, Pennsylvania also ceded its authority by empowering the Commission "[t]o exercise all other powers . . . which may be reasonably necessary or incidental to the effectuation of its authorized purposes . . . except the power to levy taxes." The broad delegation of power, coupled with the narrow reservation of taxing powers, supported the district court's conclusion that Pennsylvania relinquished its authority. Thus, the court concluded that Pennsylvania lacked authority to enforce its building safety regulations as to the Commission's building.
While the court's decision turned on the language of the compact at issue, it confirms that federal courts are willing to construe broad but non-specific waivers in such compacts as surrendering the states' sovereign authority to regulate certain aspects of the entities they create. States seeking to regulate construction projects owned by such entities, and entities facing regulatory burdens posed by compacting states, should keep that in mind.
[i] Decision at page 8 (citing Ex. parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908)).
[ii] Decision at 9.
[iii] The Secretary Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry cited the Eleventh Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in order to challenge the District Courts jurisdiction. As the court noted at page 7 of the Decision, "As a general rule, 'federal courts may not entertain a private person's suit against a State' unless the State has waived its immunity or Congress has permissibly abrogated it." (internal citation omitted).
[iv] Decision at 6.

Григорій Олексійович Ляхов (нар. 10 січня 1994, Тюмень, Росія), більш відомий під сценічним псевдонімом OG Buda — російський хіп-хоп виконавець, автор пісень, учасник творчого об'єднання «RANDOM CREW» та «MELON MUSIC».

Біографія і музична кар'єра

Ранній період: юність
Григорій народився 10 січня 1994 року в сибірському російському місті Тюмень, де прожив перші півтора роки. Через проблеми його батька з криміналом сім'я Григорія була змушена переїхати жити в столицю Угорщини — місто Будапешт.

Навчався в угорській школі при Посольстві Росії, де познайомився з Feduk'ом, чий батько також ввів дисципліну з фізичної культури в даному навчальному закладі. Через погану поведінку по відношенню до вчителя технології Григорія змусили покинути цю школу, але дозволили довчитися ще один місяць. Через мовний бар'єр навчання в школі давалася Григорію дуже складно і закінчив він її важко. Як зізнається сам виконавець, іноді більш-менш добре вчитися йому допомагала своя харизма.

Пізніше, після закінчення школи, Григорію дали підробіток в Будапештському барі. Там виконавець працював барменом..

Початок музичної кар'єри
В юності Григорій слухав Російські реп-групи «Ринкові відносини», «Чорна Економіка» та «Каста», а з зарубіжних виконавців — 50 Cent і Eminem'а. З друзями читав реп вигаданою мовою, а свій перший трек записав у 8 років. У 14-16 років займався цим як хобі.

Серйозно Григорій почав займатися репом після поради Feduk'а та членів творчого об'єднання « RNDM Crew». Першим випущеним треком вважається сингл 1000 Freestyle випущений 16 Квітня 2017 року в своєму офіційному співтоваристві в «ВКонтакте». В інтерв'ю для шоу «вДудь» Feduk заявив, що OG Buda і Big Baby Tape входять в його топ найкращих реперів Росії.

Перша популярність-співпраця з платиною
3 липня 2018 року вийшов сингл Tourlife, значно розширив фан-базу Григорія, який є триб'ютом до синглу Moonlight покійного репера XXXTentacion. У цьому ж році завдяки Obladaet, Григорій знайомиться з Платиною, з яким надалі починає щільну співпрацю. 25 жовтня 2018 року відбувся реліз дебютного міні-альбому Солодких снів, записаний спільно з платиною. 21 листопада 2018 року вийшов перший спільно з Платиною музичний відеокліп «Це не любов», в якому також в якості камео з'явився Feduk. Спочатку мати Григорія не вірила в успіх сина, але після того, як він приніс їй перші великі зароблені гроші, вона переконалася в цьому.

'Milk & Honey' Name Draws Ire From Barman Sean Kenyon
The forthcoming Larimer Square bar's name sparks conversation about trademarks and recognition.
by Ashley Hughes Jan 23, 2015, 12:07pm MST
Via The 2015 Ultimate Guide to Restaurant Openings in Denver [EDEN], Cocktails, Champagne, and Wine Will Flow at Milk & Honey [EDEN], and What's Behind the Bar at the Upcoming Blackbird? [EDEN]
Share All sharing options for: 'Milk & Honey' Name Draws Ire From Barman Sean Kenyon
Signage at Milk & Honey on Larimer Square
What's in a name? If you ask Williams & Graham barman Sean Kenyon, there's a lot at stake when it comes to building a brand. Kenyon recently set off quite the discussion with a Facebook post that addressed the name of Milk & Honey, a bar and eatery set to open on Larimer Square in the coming weeks from chef Michael Shiell.
"Someone is opening a place in Denver called Milk & Honey," Kenyon's post reads. "It does not involve anyone from the two in London or NYC. What the fuck?"
The original Milk & Honey opened as a small, speakeasy-style craft cocktail bar in New York's Lower East Side in 2000. It's since moved location, but is currently closed while another spot is found—however its influence has long been recognized in the industry—and a London outpost opened in 2002.
The ensuing comments on Kenyon's post brought up other instances of same-name blame in town, including well-known Chicago restaurant Blackbird (Kenyon did consult on the bar program for Blackbird in Denver), and Amass, both a French bistro in Jefferson Park and a hotspot in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"There are several Occidentals out there," Kenyon says of his upcoming spot adjacent to Williams & Graham. "None are cocktail bars, and none are world-famous bars.[...] The problem I have is with people deliberately using a high-profile name to bring people into their bars."
Kenyon cites the examples of San Francisco's tiki lounge Smuggler's Cove being almost directly ripped off in Liverpool, England, and New York speakeasy PDT having a copycat. "Somebody opened a PDT in Mumbai," explains Kenyon. "Jim Meehan could do nothing about it. He was like, 'I don't have an international trademark, I just have to live with it.' You know, it sucks because people are trying to benefit off the worldwide recognition of his bar."
Speaking of trademarks and legalities, which could prevent these disputes from occurring in the first place, "most bars don't have the money to trademark," according to Kenyon.
While the Milk & Honey situation is not the first example of a name being used in Denver that's gained fame in another market, this could be a different case. Rumor has it Shiell tried to hire someone from the NYC Milk & Honey to run his bar program.
For his part, Shiell explained the name choice with the following emailed statement:
"The name Milk & Honey has roots in biblical texts—it speaks to a land of abundance, of full plates and overflowing wine glasses. And at its core, our restaurant's philosophy is about providing guests with a feeling of love and friendship. It's about serving excellent, inspired dishes and surrounding our guests with some of the good things in life. The name is a colloquialism and is commonly recognized. But we view 'Milk & Honey Bar Kitchen' as more of an ideal than a name, reflective of our food-forward nature and focus on wine and excellent service."
So all this begs the question, should well-known names be off-limits in another market? Does it help or hurt the original, and should more bars and restaurants explore trademark options? Leave your feedback in the comments.

Victoria Buck (Christchurch, New Zealand) makes sculptures and installations. By creating situations and breaking the passivity of the spectator, Buck wants the viewer to become part of the art as a kind of added component. Art is entertainment: to be able to touch the work, as well as to interact with the work is important.
Her sculptures are based on inspiring situations: visions that reflect a sensation of indisputability and serene contemplation, combined with subtle details of odd or eccentric, humoristic elements. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, she investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.
Her collected, altered and own works are being confronted as aesthetically resilient, thematically interrelated material for memory and projection. The possible seems true and the truth exists, but it has many faces, as Hanna Arendt cites from Franz Kafka. By contesting the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, she absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into daily practice. This personal follow-up and revival of a past tradition is important as an act of meditation.
Her works establish a link between the landscape's reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. Victoria Buck currently lives and works in Knoxville, Tennessee.

DIY handrails. They arrived quickly, they are a quality product, they were easy to install. The price was most reasonable for the high quality. Mine have been installed for one year and I expect to get many more years of use from them. Additionally, they satisfy the requirement of our home insurance company for a hand rail on the steps. The purchase of the DIY handrails is a WIN for my family. Thank you for making such a product available. Would you consider adding quality window boxes of cast iron?

Ban of guns at government meetings, ballot counting advances
The prohibition would cover open and concealed carry of firearms. State House Democrats overrode Republican objections.
By Jerry Cornfield • February 16, 2022 2:53 pm
WNPA News Service A gun rights advocate warns a crowd of the potential need for forceful resistance in the future at gathering outside House of Representatives chamber in this 2020 file photo.
OLYMPIA — Washington moved a step closer Feb. 14 to barring firearms where school boards and city councils meet, as well as where ballots are counted.
The state House approved legislation barring "open carry" at buildings where elected city and county leaders hold their meetings, and both open and concealed carry where school boards meet and vote tallying occurs.
Majority Democrats pushed through House Bill 1630 on a 57-41 party-line vote, contending the restrictions will keep those places free of intimidation from armed people. It now goes to the Senate for consideration.
"Can you imagine what it would be like to count ballots with armed people around you? It would be intimidating," said Rep. April Berg, D-Mill Creek, a bill co-sponsor. "We should not allow guns where we are performing democracy, period. Full stop."
In a roughly three-hour debate, Republicans argued the legislation is unconstitutional because it impairs gun owners' Second Amendment rights.
And they contended that disallowing concealed weapons to be carried into school board sessions and voting centers will make those sites less safe, not more.
"This is a terrible, terrible bill. This is a bill in search of a problem, a problem that doesn't exist," said Rep. Robert Sutherland, R-Granite Falls, who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon and participated in rallies while openly carrying a firearm.
Courtrooms, jails, schools and airports have long been off limits. A few months ago a new law added the campus of the state Capitol to the list. It also banned open carry at or near public rallies and demonstrations.
This bill aims to build on that momentum.
Meanwhile, legislation in the state Senate takes a different approach.
It would allow cities, towns, counties and other municipalities to craft their own open carry restrictions, beyond statewide rules. Senate Bill 5568 would modify current law, which preempts local governments from doing so. It is in the Senate Rules Committee.
Both are in response to what Democrats say has been a dangerous uptick in tense confrontations at public meetings, fueled by national politics, pandemic policies and instruction of social theories.
Under HB 1630, it would be illegal to openly carry a weapon into a building if the person knows it is where the local governing body is meeting. It could be a regular council meeting or a special public hearing.
And it bans open and concealed carry of firearms at school district board meetings, or where ballots are counted. However, concealed carry is not prohibited if a person is walking into an elections office to drop off a ballot or pick up a voter registration card.
Notice of the restrictions would have to be posted at any covered location. A violation would be a gross misdemeanor punishable by a fine and up to a year in jail.
During Monday's debate, Republicans offered amendments to allow concealed weapons at school board meetings and election offices. Concealed carry, they argued, is for people's protection, and not permitting it would make the public less safe.
Also, they worried people carrying a gun in a purse or ankle holster could unwittingly break the law by walking into a building where the school board is meeting or election staff is working.
"It's easy. I have walked into a school with my weapon on me, inadvertently," Sutherland said, recalling a time he went on a campus one of his daughters attended. "It hit me later that I just violated the law inadvertently."
Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, said a woman who holds a concealed-carry permit for self-defense would face "a brutal choice" between exercising her constitutional right to protect herself and her constitutional right to participate in the democratic process.
Democrats responded infrequently. When they did, they iterated the potentially toxic mix of guns and heated public debate.
"Guns have no place in our civil discourse," Rep. Tana Senn, D-Mercer Island, the bill's sponsor, said in a statement after the vote. "Nobody needs a gun to make their voice heard in our democracy, and nobody should face armed intimidation."
Restricting open carry is part of a broader agenda of gun bills pushed by Democrats.
Last week, Democrats used their majority in the Senate to pass a bill banning high-capacity firearm magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
Senate Bill 5078 was scheduled to receive a hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee.

WHO IS WENDY JACK?
Wendy Jack is a singer songwriter and recording artist originally from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. Over the years she has worked on various music projects, many of which have involved raising awareness of human rights and environmental issues.In 2011, Wendy reached a pivotal stage in her creative journey when she released her first professional recording - 'The Wendy Jack EP'. On this project Wendy was delighted to work with acclaimed Irish guitarist and producer Bill Shanley (Guitarist with Ray Davies, Mary Black, Paul Brady) and his team at Cauldron Studios, Dublin. The very talented producer/arranger Gavin Murphy, also contributed piano and additional programming, while one of Ireland's leading traditional musicians Ronan Browne, played low whistle on the opening track (Derrylahan Dream). The EP received high praise from music fans and critics alike and the songs have also been played on national and local radio stations across Ireland, UK, Germany and beyond). Additionally, the song 'Sunsets', Wendy's debut single, reached Number 1 in the MR Unsigned Chart, was a semi-finalist in the 'International Songwriting Competition' and was also awarded 'Runner Up' in the prestigious 'Song of the Year' competition. Wendy's music career was born, and 'Wendy Jack Music (WJM)' has now been established as a small Independent Label.
Since her debut as a recording artist, Wendy went on to experiment with her song writing and recorded several more tracks in a variety of styles. Now, in February 2019, after taking a few years out, Wendy has consolidated her early work into the retrospective 'Sunsets' album (recordings made 2011-2014) which is currently available on all digital platforms. This extended period of hibernation, which has coincided with moving to live and work on Rathlin Island, has given Wendy inspiration for the next phase in her creative journey... When not busy managing things 'behind the scenes', Wendy performs to the delight of audiences both in Ireland and overseas. The combination of her hypnotic voice and emotive lyrics take the listener on a journey where she conjures up images of ancient fertility festivals, adventures with local legends in South Donegal and at some stage she may even take you into the mystical magical world of 'Fairies' with an adaptation of a well known poem. Should you catch a performance over the winter no doubt she will also be waxing lyrical about all those 'Woolly Jumpers'.

Ivy versus public: what operates the level of schools
Aidan Kilstrom
PVHS alum Aidan Kilstrom is attending and playing football at Harvard University
Emma Vaaler, Photo Manager
From trade schools to Ivy League universities, there are various options for students to pursue post-secondary education. There are many factors that students must consider when deciding on their perfect match, ranging from academics, cost and athletics to prestige and post-graduation job opportunities. At PV, admission to the Ivies is not out of reach for many.
PV ranks second on the list of best Iowa high schools, and many PVHS graduates have been accepted into prestigious Ivy league schools. Class of 2022 graduate Aidan Kilstrom is enrolled at Harvard University. His classmate Jayne Abraham looked at numerous Ivies, later committing to an ivy-caliber school, Stanford.
Some current students are considering applying to Ivy schools, including Parth Choudhary. "An Ivy league will provide me with future connections and be a great foundation to learning how the world works and learning to navigate through it," he said. Choudary's ideas are sentiments shared by many PV students considering Ivy League schools. With the status and success many alumni have out of Ivies, students are provided with a very beneficial system of connections post-graduation.
In a high school that has historically strong academics, it is known that students and parents have a desire for high-level academics in post-secondary school. In the past, Ivy League schools have been the leaders in academics, job opportunities, research, making them the dream for so many students. Recently though, many public universities have been bumping the Ivies down the rankings in many categories.
University of Southern California's College of Business is ranked second in the country. Northwestern University leads the nation with its College of Communications. The University of Iowa has been known for being a top university for its health-related majors along with its other strong suits. The University of Georgia is leading in business, agriculture and in the student-athlete area. Arizona State University has been ranked first in innovation for back-to-back years.
While academics are usually the driving factor for prospective students, factors such as campus location and culture play a role as well. Not a single Ivy makes the top ten best campuses, locations or safest campuses in the country. Best student life rankings include the University of Southern California and the University of Georgia. This all raises a question as to what the desire is towards studying at an Ivy over an academically comparable public university.
Many students at PVHS are planning on attending the University of Iowa or other state schools. Senior Olivia Rogers is planning on attending The University of Iowa to go into nursing. "I think Iowa will give me the same opportunities that other prestigious universities would have to offer and the cost is more worth it at Iowa," she said. With so many state schools offering equal outcomes at lower tuition rates, there are a lot of students choosing public programs over the Ivies.
PVHS psychology teacher, Anne Berger, has witnessed her students' inclination towards Ivies due to the prestige they hold. "I think sometimes students and their families are choosing colleges to boost the family resume," she said. The Ivies come with a legacy which many strive for and also lead to alumni networking opportunities that might not be offered at public universities.
With all of this being said, the decision of where to attend college is a very personal one. Many students are starting to notice the impact of state schools becoming increasingly competitive with Ivy League schools. Students are considering what separates the level of schools are the connections that are created for students attending the Ivies. As public schools continue to increase their educational value and competitiveness, the prestige and image may not always be worth attending an Ivy for many students.

To my surprise DangerouslyFunny the famous SD youtuber posted a video commentary today: Except he installed a bunch of mods wrong for humor sake, this is his style. While I'm thankful that he did raise alot of awareness, I got some messages that the modpack screws the game--it doesn't--I have countless examples of people who were very happy with the final result. I suggest you check out this video if you're wondering what the mod pack does. Feel free to ask me any questions in case the mods don't install correctly, and I'll be glad to answer, thanks!
This tutorial will guide you through creating a custom follower, on a separate framework than the vanilla one. This will stop your follower from being automatically managed by a mod like EFF, or AFT. You can also add more features to your follower easily, as well as the framework being more flexible.
I have updated this mod again to version 1.31a. This version is a very, very minor update that won't really be needed for v1.31 users. It's really more for QoL improvements than anything based on user feedback. I've also made a ModDB mirror for this mod for anyone who doesn't want to sign up here just to download. I highly urge all surround sound users (4 speakers or more) to upgrade to Higher Order Ambisonics and give me feedback on how it sounds.

Final Fantasy IX: Ascension is the completed version of my once-lost files for FFIX: The After Years. This mod was called FFIX: The After Years, but over time, I had PC problems and sadly lost the files for the English(US) version of the mod. I thought I had lost every single copy of it, until just recently I found that I still retained the Japanese(JP) version of the FFIX: The After Years mod. I was pleased when I discovered this and thus, FFIX: Ascension was born.
FF9: Ascension acts a prologue to FF9: Type-0. Ascension is (pure originality, seeing their life after the ending of FF9; with Queen Garnet, and the rest of the team.) Everything was a seemingly perfect and happy ending, however, that would soon change some time after.

Villeneuve-sur-Lot: sanctions and end of fuel oil?
Econologie.com » News and new » Villeneuve-sur-Lot: sanctions and end of fuel oil?
July 1, 2006 Christophe
Press release (27 June 2006)
The Community of Communes of Villeneuvois takes note of the decision of the administrative court of Bordeaux to cancel the deliberations of the CCV approving the use of pure vegetable oils as fuels instead of diesel. (deliberations voted unanimously)
While forbidding what might appear as a commentary on a court decision, the elected officials deeply regret the judgment that has been pronounced.
As announced, they decided to appeal to the Administrative Court of Appeal of Bordeaux. They want to reaffirm their will to use all the ways of law to make triumph common sense and the general interest. The aim is to ensure that individuals or communities are neither condemned to use diesel fuel by rising oil prices, nor to contribute to the already considerable profits of oil companies, and no more to pollute.
Read also: The Prius will go to court!
The elected officials want to reiterate their solidarity with the agricultural world for which the development of biofuels is a real chance that this decision of justice, if it were confirmed, would also condemn.
This judgment, which contradicts the legal expertise of two deans of law faculty, being applicable despite the appeal procedure, elected representatives of the CCV will be invited to decide on the continuation of the experience on the occasion of a council Community which will be convened as soon as possible.
Two possibilities will be considered and studied: civic disobedience having the intimate conviction to act in the name of the general interest or the pure and simple stop of experimentation by republican legalism; elected officials must set the example in terms of respect for the law and court decisions, even when these seem to offend common sense.

Hi,I would like to buy Ericsson T66 in white & pink colours, any ideas where I can find it?
One of the best phones I ever had. If I could get a fully working one again, I'd use it instead of my Android based HTC.
Have one at home in a grey colour. Still working great.....great phone (which I only occasionally turn on).It shure brings some nice memories on my youth back on.
I have a SOny Ericson T66, has been in the drawer for ages but i just cant get rid of it as i like it so much. It still works all that i need is a new back plate that slides on and a new battery, can any one helpwith where i can go in Durban, South Africa.
One of the smallest phone ever made, the smallest unit ever made by Ericsson after merging with Sony in mobile phone production, and ONE OF THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF CELPHONE COLLECTORS. Although it surpassed the defunct Nokia 8210 and surpassed by Xun Chi 138 in smallness, it is memorable to collect as souvenir of the past.
I would like to buy this phone even if broken, i know its the year 2009 and nowere sells them new but if anyone has one i will buy it even if broken.
one prominent disadvantage is that its battery lite is extremely abysmal...after one year of usage it lasts only 1.5 day per single charge...with only 10-15 active call and very slight screen and other function operations.
It is one of the smallest phone ever made at the expense of dismal battery life.
the smallest phone ever made.
I own a T66 since Sept 02. It work perfectly for me and i still like it though i bought a new hp (VK2020).
I sent it for repair once in Oct 04 (after using it for 2 yrs) due to "No Network" problem. After the repair, i can still use it till lately (Mar 06, 1yr+ after the first repair) and got to sent it for repair again on the same problem. So, readers... this phone is solid!!!
YES!!! it takes time to get the spare part... its been a month still no news from the workshop. That's why i got to get myself a new hp. Yet, i still like the features and the cute design of it. Will use it as a spare phone.
I extreamely like the feature whereby you can customize your caller, message, alarm with your favorite ringtone (dwld or self-edit). Not like some other hp model has a pre-fix of few ringtone for message/alarm.
The messaging feature is excellence as it will auto-save even when you accidentally press "NO/EXIT" button, my new hp cannot compare with this. Pressing "C" fast or hold-on to it will not delete the whole message also is a pro to this model. Nokia cannot compare to this, that's why i don't like nokia's phone (not anti it).
is it true that the T66 is the smallest cell ever made ?
it's really cute, it has all things that i need, maybe the functions are limit,but for this size i think it is great..
how many i can save the phone number...??
Total of 134 user reviews and opinions for Ericsson T66.

my code:
 public class SecondActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private EditText editPhoneText;
     private ImageButton imageCallButton;
    private final int PHONE_CALL_CODE = 100;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);

    editPhoneText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextPhone);
    imageCallButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageCallButton1);

    imageCallButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

    });
}

    public void implicito(){

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("Tel: 9999999" ));
        startActivity(intent);

}
}

A: You may want to check whether your device can handle your intent by doing this:
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
    startActivity(intent);
} else {
     Log.d(TAG, "Cannot handle this intent");
}

What's more, if you are placing a call like so, there is NO need to declare the permission in your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

Because you are not directly calling someone within your app. You are actually transferring the "duty" to other apps which can handle your intent to call. This doesn't need a permission.
To directly make a call within your app, the intent should be Intent.ACTION_CALL, which needs the permission you declared.
Hope this will help.

A: There is no activity on your device that handles ACTION_DIAL for a Tel: scheme. Try:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:9999999" ));

Case and whitespace are important when assembling a Uri.
Also note that even my revised Intent will not work on all devices, such as on an Android tablet that lacks a dialer.

by Ed Kilgore, December 19th, 2008 1:53 PM EST
It is apparently incumbent on every blogger to express an opinion on the possible appointment of Caroline Kennedy to the Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton. I guess this is a byproduct of Gothamcentricity: no other place in America has several thousand people who consider themselves preeminently qualified to serve in the U.S. Senate, and many thousands more people who want to write about it. Indeed, the two categories probably overlap.
Having only dipped my toe in the sea of ink that has been spilled on this subject, I can only guess that someone by now (on the mathematical principle that a thousand monkeys with typewriters will eventually write Hamlet) has noted that the last time there was this much caterwauling about an unqualified Senate aspirant, his name was Edward Kennedy, in 1962. Caroline's Uncle Ted, of course, has gone on to earn virtually universal regard as one of the greatest Senators ever.
That's not to say that we should assume Ted's niece has similar virtues; America has had sufficiently mixed experience with Kennedys in office to avoid any preconclusions.
The salient point most often made by Ms. Kennedy's defenders is that there have been lots of people in politics who started on third base thanks to their name, their (non-political) fame, or their money. This last point is worth dwelling on: the very rich are frequently run for high office because their dough is a tangible political asset that would otherwise have to be rustled up from somewhere else. And if we've learned anything over the last few months, wealth, even "self-earned," is hardly an infallible indicator of competence or wisdom.
Ross Douthat probably offers the best case for the peculiar offensiveness of CK's candidacy:
I can live with legacy politicians, underqualified appointees, and entitled rich people. I just think the Senate can do without an rich, underqualified legacy appointee whose press coverage would lead you to believe that she's a cross between Florence Nightingale, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Princess Diana and Princess Leia.
But it's easy to get carried away with that sort of stuff; if Caroline Kennedy's resume isn't overwhelming, it's not as though she's a exactly a political Paris Hilton who is simply famous for being famous.
I am sure that Governor Paterson and New York Democrats could come up with another Senator who is better qualified, capable of raising big sacks of cash (from their own assets or from others), and a lead-pipe cinch to beat anybody the GOP is likely to put up. But let's not get too self-righteous about high political office as a meritocracy. Americans love their celebrities, and their weaknesses (viz. Celebrity Rehab) and their strengths, and that's not changing anytime soon. Many years ago I used to joke that maybe we should just re-establish a monarchy and turn it over to the Kennedys, or alternate it between the Kennedys and the Buckleys, freeing electoral politics of the craving for family glamor and drama. Until we're ready for something like that, I don't quite know by what higher law we can bar Caroline Kennedy from office, unless she really does represent some sort of Celebrity Culture tipping point.

Home News India Royal Enfield Oragadam plant starts operations
Royal Enfield Oragadam plant starts operations
Motorcycle News Desk
Royal Enfield today started commercial production from its new manufacturing facility at Oragadam, Tamil Nadu. Spread over 50 acres, the Oragadam plant starts with an installed production capacity of 150,000 units in the first phase. An initial investment of Rs 150 crores has been made towards construction of this facility that will produce the full range of Royal Enfield motorcycles.
Rolling out the first motorcycle from the Oragadam facility, Mr Siddhartha Lal, MD & CEO, Eicher Motors Ltd. said, "At Royal Enfield we have recorded a major milestone today with this plant at Oragadam becoming operational. Royal Enfield has witnessed a huge surge in demand in the recent past, recording a growth of over 50% for each of the last two years. We have been extremely successful in stretching the capacity of our existing 60 year old plant to record levels — achieving production of over 12,000 motorcycles in the month of March 2013. Yet the demand for our motorcycles has continued to outpace the supply. Therefore we have conceived of this new facility on a much larger tract of land and created a master-plan that can take the eventual production here to over 500,000 per year. With the speedy execution of the first phase of the plan, we have revised our production target upwards in 2013 — to 175,000 motorcycles from both plants. However, even as we start commercial production today, we have already begun working on the second phase of expansion at Oragadam, which will further increase the production capacity to 250,000 motorcycles in 2014. With this new facility, we now have the ability to scale our production quantity quickly in response to market demand."
"The heritage and history of Royal Enfield gives the brand an aura and an authenticity that cannot be replicated. With classical looks and powered by modern technology, Royal Enfield enjoys a highly differentiated appeal. The brand's endeavour is to provide a pure motorcycling experience to its customers worldwide", he further added.
Talking about Royal Enfield's future plans Mr Siddhartha Lal said, "The ability to increase capacity fast and superior quality of motorcycles is a crucial step for Royal Enfield towards meeting our global ambitions. While we are adding new models and new dealerships in the Indian market which is fuelling our growth, we are also working on building our presence globally. Higher investments into brand and distribution, as well as new products that are very appealing to international markets are going to be key for us to achieve global leadership in the mid-size motorcycle category."
The construction at the plant commenced in February 2012 and with civil work continuing around the clock, it was completed in a record time of 11 months. In addition to increasing capacity, the Oragadam plant has been designed to optimize cost of production through relevant automation while retaining the human craftsmanship that is distinct to the iconic Royal Enfield motorcycles. Towards this, an absolutely path breaking new CED paint shop with a painting capacity of 600 motorcycles per day has been installed in the plant. Further, to ensure consistency and less wastage, a robotic painting system and powder coating system have also been added. At the same time, processes such as the legendary pin-striping continue to be done through craftsmen who lend that special human touch to each motorcycle. The vehicle assembly line at Oragadam comes with several features such as ergonomic assembly work stations, torque controlled tools with feedback device and a capacity of producing one motorcycle a minute, or over 800 per day on two shifts. Effective controls and process, right from material handling to review mechanisms, have been created on the backbone of a modern and strong IT infrastructure. In addition, chassis dynamometers and a 1.4 kilometer test track within the factory premises allows for the motorcycles to be thoroughly tested before they are dispatched for customers.
The Oragadam facility has been built with sustainability in mind from the very beginning of the design stage with several initiatives such as reduction of effluent generation at source and zero liquid discharge system of treatment. In addition conservation of resources such as electricity, water and fuel has been given top priority. Even during the construction stage, the green concept was applied such as using soil from within the site for filling, as well as using the ideal quantities of steel, concrete and cement. The focus was also on creating efficient work spaces, equipment and utilities and hence effective use of natural, diffused lighting, natural air flow inside plant and 25% of wooded area have been ensured.

I recently watched a couple of great shows on Island Sustainability on Netflix.
One is called South Pacific and the other is called Islands of the Future.
Both of these shows show that when people live in a small to moderately sized mostly closed system, they tend to want to take care of it. When we see the impacts of our energy use, our trash, our land use we tend to get the quick feedback that tells us if we are living in harmony with our home.
On the show Islands of the Future each episode highlights an island that is trying to move towards energy and food independence. The first couple islands highlighted are in the Canary Islands. The first show is outstanding. A forward thinking engineer wants the island of Fierro to stop importing diesel and to use wind turbines and the power of potential energy in water to power their island. He wants to create a battery system where wind turbines create energy and move water into a high reservoir. Then release the water to a lower reservoir and in doing so run it through turbines and power the island.
It takes twenty five years but they do it. It was incredible that they had footage of parts of this whole journey and how the public perception changed and everyone eventually gets behind it. The idea was quite clever and it was implemented. It can be done. They are starting to encourage specially designed electric cars and their local president is out in front driving the first one.
All the episodes are great and each has a slightly different twist on sustainability.
The other show named South Pacific, looks at some of the island groups in the South Pacific and how people, nature, and natures creatures survive together. I won't go into it much but it is well worth seeing. With sea all around people realize their place and live more in harmony. Check it out!
In the past year I have spent time in Eastern Iowa, Northern California, the San Francisco Bay area, Costa Rica and the Boulder/Denver area of California. In the populated places the human animal definitely is king. However the human animal has it's heirarchy to be sure. Some people live under bridges and some live in mansions.
In the areas where there are no towns on maps I used to have the idealized thought or hope that that's where the animals live, that's where nature lives. In the midwest this is just not the case. This is the land of chemical farming and massive machines to torture the earth and kill its burrowing creatures. Its bleak, in my opinion. It is many miles of either barren land waiting to be tilled and planted or land growing principally gmo corn or soy plants, broken up with straight as an arrow access roads and highways. I keep thinking, where do the animals live?
There used to be ranging creatures upon these great plains. Great herds of buffalo. Large groups of deer, antelope, elk. Great prairies as far as the eye could see. Native peoples and native hunting creatures, foxes, wolfs, coyotes and hunting cats. These are much diminished if not outright gone. Why can't we share? Must we have it all. When we do get it all will we finally be happy? Not a chance. Not a chance. We already see that when resources are scarce war can break out we turn on each other.
Is there just not enough for both man and beast? This is a question we might ask. With our large and growing populations one could say so. We might need to start asking, is population control appropriate? How might we do this? I have some ideas but won't much go into this now.
As I wrote about previously, capitalism eats the earth. I believe this. We must come to a spiritual understanding that man is just one of Gods creatures and our aim is to live in harmony on this great planet not dominate all around him.
In January I found myself driving from Des Moines east on Highway 163 and I came to a town called Prairie City. There was a nature reserve where native bison were said to be living. This is called the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. I pulled off the highway and drove into the reserve. Rolling frozen fields cut by straight roads and a few low trees in the gullies were what I saw. I drove several miles and across a gentle valley I saw them, a group of about 10 or 12 shaggy bison looking cold and forlorn mostly sitting on the ground. I know I shouldn't read too much into their emotions. Maybe they were happy. I don't think so. They were boxed in with only a few square miles in which to roam. Their population small. This group as I said was only 10 to maybe the low teens. There may be other groups living in the small reserve. However a sense of sadness and loss filled me. "Why can't we share?" went through my mind.
Most of the midwest is farmland that grows food for animal feed. It is used to fatten up animals for our fast food meals, pulled pork, burgers, steaks and chicken.
This to me is not right, not fair and not kind. Just because we can dominate all, must we dominate all? This thought comes to me again. If we are evolved beings we should know our place. We should limit our burden on the land. We should allow other plants, animals and ecosystems to be as they wish. I am not saying we don't have a right to be as well. We can be but not as much as we are now. We are too much. We tread to heavily. We box in what little we choose to say is natures area.
At this point the solutions would need to be a revisioning and a restructuring of what we want for the land. People "own" most of the land. Who will compensate landowners if we decide that say half the land should be home to the rest of Gods creatures. That the big open spaces in the midwest should once again be home to the buffalo, the sage grouse, the antelope the bear, the wild wolf, the prairie dog, the coyote and all the rest.
How can we return to balance? How can we go back to the garden?
Thank you for reading and caring. Much love.
A friend of mine recently returned from a Hawaiian vacation. She went to Oahu. I know her as someone who loves the water and the beach. I asked her how she enjoyed her trip and curiously she said she didn't enjoy or go in the water that much. I asked her why and she said there was so much plastic on the beach. The beaches around hotels are cleaned but she favored less frequented, less touristy beaches.
I have long deplored the insidious encroachment of plastic into our world. The commercial interests have decided that any product we buy should have a hard or soft layer of protective plastic. Some packaging is even worse. They combine plastic and metal in the new resealable pouches such as mylar and a thousand other Frankenstein concoctions.
These packages and the materials they are made from are good at protecting their contents, for a long time. In a short-sighted way, it works well for products made a long way away and a long time ago, cause the package does not degrade (for many years) and the "product" is protected from germs and from oxidation. However, these benefits conferred on the product and the convenience of it for manufacturers then turns into an absolute horror for the earth.
The product may be enjoyed for 5 minutes, a day or a week but the package may stay with us for a thousand years or longer. They don't degrade well. They are not meant to. They are meant to protect the product, for a long time. However, after the product is consumed we are left with these horrible packages that blow into, are dumped into or somehow find their way into the ocean, waterways as well as on streets and parks. Even when they go to landfills they sit there mostly not degrading and slowly polluting the land and water.
We are very numerous. We create a lot of trash with our eating of potato chips, vegan energy bars and jerky sticks. Is the convenience of a fast snack worth the wrapper that may stay around for a thousand years? I am raising this issue consumers, yes. We can do better. Try to buy in bulk or fresh or from farmers markets. However, we all know the plastic and plastimetal materials concocted in labs by chemists and material scientists ARE EVERYWHERE. They are hard to avoid. Often there is no choice, or no good-choice at the grocery store. The choice may be forgoing something we really want or getting the wrapped product.
I would like to say we should demand our local stores not carry these pouches, that they not carry non-recyclable or non-degradable packaging. But it is so pervasive. We can grow our own or go to farmers markets for part of our purchases but we all know in our fast-paced world a grocery store is essential.
We should demand manufacturers fundamentally change the attitude and materials that are used to protect our foods. I don't exactly know how to do it. What do you think? Is a debate and organizing on this issue important?
What I do know is that if the beaches of Oahu are being littered with pieces of plastic and mylar food packaging something has got to change. Oahu is in the middle of a very large ocean, quite far from the American landmass, quite far from the Indonesian archipelago and quite far from China. But lots of plastic is ending up on Hawaiian beaches.
I ask that we take this issue on. It is not a side issue. It is a matter of global survival. Do we want an ocean that can support life? Do we want to leave a clean world to our children or is the entire world our garbage dump, meant to be used and abused by the humans and left polluted, choking and dying?
Well that was the headline for one store in Australia called Harris Farm. Can we do it here. The plastic that wraps up pallets and crates of six packs and building materials and most everything else that gets shipped in trucks or on boats and then is presented to us is contaminating the oceans.
Lets all demand an end to this lazy crazy practice. It aint right for a momentary convenience to have such a crazy heavy impact. There must be truly biodegradeable cellulose or mushroom plastic out there. Lets ask for it or tell stores we can not support them.
I know it will take a bit of time but the planet can't wait.
Wasn't the symbol of BP about ten years ago remade into a starburst and the BP of British Petroleum rechristened Beyond Petroleum? Then Corporate heads must have nixed deep sixed or otherwise canned this forward thinking idea. Damn. For a minute there one there was some hope from the oil companies.
Then came the Deep Water Horrizon, the most polluting and most costly oil spill in history. Maybe it was Karma kicking them in the gut over their "safe" decision?
In a story reported by the Guardian on January 11, 2018, New York has decided to divest 5 billion dollars of pension funds oil, gas and coal investments. It also being reported that New York will be suing the the largest oil and gas companies for damaging the climate for future generations.
This to me is very good and promising news. After a year of unprecedented climate change enhanced climate disasters people are waking up. If our Federal Government refuses to lead, states, municipalities and the People will take the lead. How can we all be part of the climate solution?
Search for affordable community ?
Hi. I just read a nice article about a new type of real estate developement, Utopian Wellness communities. Heres the link, https://www.fastcompany.com/40512467/utopic-wellness-communities-are-a-multibillion-dollar-real-estate-trend .
I read it through and it is good to hear. Some people are eschewing golf communities and upper end single family palace type living. People are looking for meaningful connection with each other, healing spaces, connection with nature, and multi-generational living. I too am searching for some of these things. I also am looking for affordable living. I am at this point 46 almost 47 and I have spent a lot of my adult life working hard and somewhat playing the rat race game. I never totally bought in to it. However I didn't really have another viable model to live by. I was ok at. I worked hard and survived and did things I wanted to but didn't get a big pile of money set aside. Now I am working a little less hard but networking and investigating different types of work and community models. Maybe you are interested in this as well?
I enjoy the craft and community that comes from developing a trade and plying it for people to help them on projects on their property, (I am a tree worker and an amature builder, I am an aspiring permaculture gardener, a thinker and other uncatagorizable things.) but I am often troubled by the idea that I am more motivated by money than by doing right by trees and nature and this bothers me.
I am looking for affordable community models that bring together synergistically community of different peoples and ages and skills with gardens, local business, ecology. I feel that our models are lacking in this country and lately I have been envisioning an eco-community in Southern Mexico.

Sudden Emergency Doctrine As Applicable to Car Accidents
An average of 6 million car accidents occur in the United States every year. Car accidents are often sudden events, and no one can anticipate when, where, or how a car accident will occur. As a motorcycle accident lawyer can tell us, motorcycle and car accidents affect everyone differently. And most people are forced to make split second decisions when involved in a car accident.
The sudden emergency doctrine protects a person who is placed in a sudden emergency while operating a vehicle, through no fault of his or her own. The person must act as a reasonable and ordinary person would if placed in the same or similar emergency in order for the sudden emergency doctrine to protect their actions.
Sudden Emergency Doctrine in Nevada
Nevada has adopted the use of the Sudden Emergency Doctrine. In Posas v. Horton, the Nevada Supreme Court defined when the Sudden Emergency Doctrine should be applied in personal injury cases. Posas was forced to suddenly stop her vehicle when a woman pushing a stroller began to cross the street in the middle of traffic and directly in front of Posas's vehicle. Posas v. Horton, 126 Nev. 112, 228 P.3d 457 (2010). Horton was driving directly behind Posas and rear-ended Posas's vehicle after Posas suddenly stopped to avoid hitting the pedestrian. Horton admitted that she was following too close immediately prior to the collision. Posas brought suit against Horton. Despite Posas's objection at trial, the jury was given the following sudden-emergency instruction:
A person confronted with a sudden emergency, which he does not create, who acts according to his best judgment, or before insufficient time to form a judgment, fails to act in the most judicious manner, is not guilty of negligence if he exercises the care of a reasonably prudent person in like circumstances.
As a result, Horton was found to be free of liability in the collision and Posas appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court. Posas argued that the trial judge erred in giving the sudden emergency instruction to the jury. The Nevada Supreme Court agreed with Posas's position and clarified that the sudden emergency instruction should only be provided to a jury when the actor requesting the instruction is confronted with unexpected conditions while also acting with reasonable care. Because Horton admitted that she was following too closely, the sudden emergency jury instruction could not protect her because it was her negligence that caused her to rear end Posas. The Court noted that the pedestrian in the middle of the street presented an emergency to Posas, not Horton, and for that reason, the sudden emergency jury instruction should only be given to the party facing the emergency, not a party who creates his or her own emergency. The Nevada Supreme Court reversed the trial judge's judgment and remanded the case back to the district court for a new trial.
For more information on this law and how it may affect you, contact a motorcycle accident attorney, like those from Eglet Adams.


The Newcastle Eagles solidified their grip on the top spot in the BBL standings and inched closer to clinching the regular-season title with pair of victories during the weekend.
