Yours, and theirs. Let's face it, catching fish isn't easy. Those families that buy rods and tackle boxes from the department stores are only in it for cheap thrills, not the excitement of maybe catching the big one every time you throw your line in. But kids don't know about that excitement yet, so you'll need bucket loads of patience every time you head out to the water. Don't expect to get your line wet while you're fishing with kids, all your time will be spent casting and re-baiting hooks and untangling lines. And after a short period of time (depending on age), they'll lose interest, so always try to find a fishing spot that has other things for them to do, maybe a playground, or bring a ball.
Having everything you need to hand is important. Reels that don't tangle every time you use them will ensure the kids stay attentive while you're showing them, and not drift off to something else while you untangle another snagged mess. Rods that bend and flex as fish bite so kids can feel that they've hooked something make the catching bit just as exciting as the casting bit. Sharp hooks that stay in the fish's mouth so the fish actually reaches the surface for that glorious "I caught a fish" photo that mum is going to share on Facebook are much better than mass-produced department store gear. Spend a bit of time in the store, asking for information from staff, asking the kids what they want (colour is especially important), and choose gear that they can grow into in a short period of time.
It's easy to fall into the trap of doing it all, but fishing with kids is about them learning the skills themselves (under supervision.) Teach them well, and they'll love it forever.
Replacing the line – replace the line on reels yearly, and always match the rotation of the new spool to the bale, to avoid twists.
Baiting a hook – worms are the best bait for beginners. Show your kids that the worm should cover the hook to hide it from the fish, and always hold the worm on the sides, not the end, to avoid the piercing tip of the hook.
Clean your rod – just like cleaning your dinghy after a trip, it's important to clean your rod, too. Start by sanding any nicks in the guide rings so your line doesn't catch, and check for rust spots and sand them away, too. Clean the whole rod with warm water, and ensure its stored either horizontally or vertically in an open space to avoid trapping moisture.
Start the boat – now it goes without saying that your kids wear a life jacket every time they get in your boat, if fishing from a boat is your thing, but do they know how to start the boat or call for help if something goes wrong with you? Knowing how to set off a flare, or start the EPIRB can make all the difference if, heaven forbid, you take ill while out on the water, and knowing how to start the boat may save your life one day.
Throwing the rods in the car then bundling the kids in is ok for a random afternoon fishing trip, but if you really want to build their excitement and anticipation, get them to help you plan the next trip. Depending on age, they can easily use great local spots that have plenty of fish, or help mum pack a picnic lunch that everyone will enjoy. Show them how to safely load rods into the car so no one gets poked in the eye, and they can even help navigate the route. And sometimes anticipation of the journey is as much fun as throwing the line in.
Taking photos isn't everyone's cup of tea, but when you're a kid, it's important to be able to brag to your friends about the awesome fish you caught on the weekend. Photos are the best way to do that, whether you snap a quick shot with your phone, or pull out the DSLR. And remember to print the photos, it's easier to take a photo to school than a camera.
If you follow these five tips, and remember that kids just want to have fun, then fishing with kids will become a family adventure, and you'll never have a moment's peace again.

Sometimes, lab noise is unavoidable no matter how many steps you take to corral the racket, lower the volume, and soundproof with dedicated lab furniture. We've talked in the past about the many impacts of lab noise on lab techs, researchers, and other staff. But what can be done when lab noise isn't dangerous, but still bothersome? Here are five suggestions about how workers can cope when lab noise levels impact productivity.
Good noise-cancelling headphones were first developed to address the background hum associated with cars and airplanes. This means that modern noise-cancelling headphones are excellent choices for managing noise levels in your lab without also cancelling out intermittent sounds that could indicate a problem or an imminent lab accident.
Although OSHA has not addressed the issue of lunch and break periods (this belongs under labor-standards law), many organizations recognize that short breaks from work can improve concentration and productivity. With this in mind, if your lab's noise is getting to you, step out, take a break, walk around the building (inside or out, depending on the weather), and reconnect with the world beyond your mass spec.
Noise culprits are in every workplace. We all know who they are. They whistle while they work, they stop and chat at your workstation, they generally make themselves obvious—sometimes annoyingly so. If you know that you need to have less noise and more focus for a particular project that day, don't be afraid to say something. "I'm slammed today, so I sure hope nothing breaks down and breaks my concentration," you might say as you fill your cup at the water cooler or coffee maker. "Is your plate as full as mine?" In this way, you can clarify that you're uninterruptible without calling attention to the culprit's tendency to speak loudly, interrupt, and generally distract colleagues.
If the indirect methods above don't work, then don't be afraid to have the noise safety conversation. It might be a Friday afternoon, and everyone around you is ramping up for the weekend and talking about their plans, but if all that lab noise creates a potential lab safety or concentration issue for you, don't be afraid to speak up.
Investing in dedicated lab furniture that suppresses noise in your busy lab is the best way to keep lab noise below irritating or dangerous levels. Our IonBench MS completely isolates vacuum pumps, decreasing lab noise by 75%. When you invest in the right technology—even at the lab bench level—you invest in the focus and productivity of everyone who works in your lab. For more information about our dedicated lab furniture, contact Tim Hawkins today at tim.hawkins@farhawk.com or 1-888-669-1233.
We recently shared a disturbing report about the major gap between organizational culture and lab safety realities. We've all seen instances where company culture doesn't exactly promote an environment where safety protocols can realistically be followed.
Petrotechnics surveyed over 200 senior leaders in the hydrocarbon industry and found that they held grave concerns over the lack of safety follow-through in their organizations. While company literature said all the right things about making safety a priority, the organizational procedures and practices did not hold up their end of the bargain when it came to following through on those priorities.
Most worrisome was the finding that the corporate culture in the majority of these organizations was actually resistant to implementation of process safety and risk management (PSM) procedures. This resistance is not necessarily rooted in carelessness or even maliciousness—rather, it is rooted in the natural tendency for corporations to drive productivity.
Let's take this insight one step further and focus on a key concern of ours: lab noise reduction.
A noisy lab is not just a threat to the ears of those who work there—though that is well-proven and certainly a necessary priority—it also linked with a range of diverse health issues. These include an increase in stress (with all its symptoms, including lack of sleep, short-temperedness, and an inability to concentrate, all of which can impact the interpretation of results in a critical lab procedure), coronary disease, hypertension and even our brain's ability to process information correctly (again potentially leading to faulty test reporting).
Lab noise can interfere with critical communications, making it a safety hazard in a much different way. A noisy work environment makes verbal communications very difficult. And when lab personnel are dealing with potentially hazardous materials, there is very little room for error. What if a lab tech was to mishear instructions for handling a certain compound because the noise level in the lab was too high? This mishap could result in cross contamination, chemical burns, or even fires or explosions.
We believe that lab noise reduction is a key ingredient in the lab safety recipe. Too many people, at all levels of an organization, can take their hearing and health for granted, choosing instead to focus on preventing the more spectacular lab accidents that make the news.
Noise doesn't seem like an immediate threat or a potential major hazard—its impact is, however, insidious and lasting.
It's why we've integrated lab noise reduction into our IonBench MS, which isolates up to three vacuum pumps in specially designed chambers of our custom designed lab furniture. With a lab noise reduction of over 75%, this dedicated lab furniture will minimize lab safety issues and facilitate efficient and accurate results by allowing everyone in the lab to hear each other, communicate clearly, and focus on research rather than PSM.
The more aware lab managers are to seemingly nonthreatening safety issues, the better the overall productivity of a lab and well-being of everyone there. We encourage you, and your team to embrace an integrated organizational culture that pays heed to even seemingly benign risks like lab noise. A well-thought-out lab noise reduction strategy can be a key element in effective lab safety culture. To learn more about how we can help, contact us today.

I love my people, and I respect my culture. I'll even admit to liking Chinese New Year, but when I was asked to participate in Egnyte's Chinese New Year event three weeks in advance, I was already counting the days for when this event would be over.
Oh, how my great grandparents' music rang through my head. Nostalgia took over me like a stuffy summer evening. That special brand of Asian happiness embraced me like the comfy ugly sweater you wear all the time (but never in public). The deliciously super fatty food that coated my arteries like honey would to a bee's left foot. It just never occurred to me as a cool event for non-Asians. I can appreciate these things because I grew up in these traditions; I felt like this was just going to be open season for Asian stereotype jokes from my quick-witted co-workers.
As I made my way toward our breakroom, a sea of diverse faces had already gathered. People chit chatting in line while grabbing our Oriental offerings of New Year's food, foreign to most people's usual diets. Red packets filled with scratcher tickets were passed out. We scratched them with glee while eating food from my childhood. Minus the grease, but just as good!
After everyone was well fed, hilarity ensued. We played games where non-Asians tried to pronounce Asian words. We then followed it with a game of Chinese New Year trivia in the style of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" It was definitely more funny than pedagogical – just the way I like it. Also, I must say that the willingness of Egnyters to take a chance on trying and learning new things really speaks volumes on how we work and excel as a company.
As the event wrapped up, we quickly moved into toasting our fellow PM's "over the hill" 40th birthday. I'm not going to name names, but his starts with S and ends with ean. Themed as 40s at 4, of course, we all drank and sang together…You just had to be there.
Egnyte is one of the most culturally accepting environments I've worked in. Although I went into this with reservations about this whole experience, it definitely exceeded my expectations in the end. We work hard, but we also play hard. And when it comes down to it, it's just a big group of friends trying to achieve a common goal.


Looking for a great gift idea, either for someone special or perhaps a client or a marketing tool in the form of a gift? Have you thought of the very simple idea of a custom coffee mug? I mean, lets face it everybody can use a coffee mug whether they drink coffee or not. I know I drink tea from them and I even use them for soup.
This gift idea is so simple and not expensive and you know that it will be used. What more could you ask for? Obviously just a plain mug can be a little boring but if you customize it with either a photo or perhaps your business logo for instance then it becomes more than just a mug. Imagine the marketing advantages you will have by having your business advertised on these mugs. You never know where they will end up or who will be using them.
As far as a gift to family and friends goes these customized mugs are fantastic. Just imagine the smile on the face of Grandma when she sees her beautiful grandchild's photo on the side of her own custom coffee mug. This gift would be treasured forever. Another idea is for your children to do a drawing and have that imprinted for life on a mug. These can be kept for yourself or given as gifts. These ideas are limitless really. You just need to use your imagination.
There are many businesses out there these days that do these custom mugs at very reasonable prices. And of course if you are a business yourself and want to order a large amount for client gifts then it will no doubt work out even cheaper. You can have all your details on the mug plus your company logo. These are so much better that giving out pens. You can only fit so much information on pens compared to mugs, plus the fact that the information can be read much easier as well.
You will find that there will be many different mug styles to choose from as well. You maybe interested in the usual ceramic style or you may want to be a little different and choose stainless steal or glass. It depends on how much you want to spend and how much you want to stand out.
Many schools and sporting clubs find that a custom coffee mug is a great idea to use for graduations and sporting achievements. Once again they are an affordable option while they are big enough to hold everyone's names, dates and any other important data that needs to be added.
I know my children still have their mugs from their school graduations. And in fact I still have mugs that have their drawings on them from when they were in the junior years of school. These really are great keepsakes. I must admit to having a couple of promotional mugs from different businesses too. Obviously the later are not keepsakes for me but they are handy all the same and I have used them to remember phone numbers when I have needed to.
Christmas time is nearly upon us once again and I know that most of us find it hard to think of appropriate gifts to give. Not everyone we give to will be deserving of an expensive gift so a custom coffee mug may well do the trick. Especially when you are looking for someone who has everything already, this type of gift is perfect.

Two years on
By John Dunn on 6 April 2016 in Uncategorized
In March 2014 all social housing tenants in Millers Point, Dawes Point and The Rocks were told they would be 'relocated' within two years and their homes sold. A team of twenty Relocation Officers was assigned to the community with the sole task of moving people out. Two years on and the area appears mostly derelict and abandoned – houses boarded up, security guards checking doors of vacant properties at all hours of the day and night, and properties covered with hoardings and scaffolding as new owners commence the urgent repairs the government never did, but amongst the apparent dereliction are a few Save Millers Point banners, about eighty remaining social housing tenants, and almost as many new owners who have moved in and by and large have supported retaining some of the social housing tenants, especially those with long connections to the area.
On the day that marked two years surviving the pressure of the Relocation Officers, the community held a march down Kent Street followed by a rally and picnic on the Village Green. It was a day of celebration, and also a moment to take stock and look for what might be the final solution for the Save Millers Point campaign. (See here for photos and stories of the march and rally.)
The government has been surpassing all expectations with the prices they have achieved as Millers Point houses are sold. Some of the grand old heritage houses have been selling for more than four million dollars each. This is an astounding amount of money, and whether or not it goes towards building new public housing elsewhere, it has long been agreed that these heritage houses, which were acquired as a by-product of reshaping the landscape to create efficient shipping, wharves and storage more than one hundred years ago, are beyond the ability of government agencies to maintain. It was the community that called on the government to sell these houses, and to retain the purpose-built workers flats and the Sirius building. (Read here about the community calling on the government to sell the grand heritage houses, here to see and read about the early 20th-century workers flats in the area, and here for the story of Sirius and the 1970s Green Bans that led to its construction.)
The government has not been able to sell the houses and flats from which it has 'relocated' people, and a huge number still remain vacant. It seems to have focused on moving the community away rather than selling the properties made vacant. In the meantime, many of the vacant properties could have provided housing to those forced out, or to others requiring emergency or other housing amongst the 60,000 people on the government's waiting list.
Below is the government's own map of vacant properties at the beginning of 2016. The government describes properties in the area at the time as 82% vacant. Vacant properties include those coloured yellow and aqua, as well as most of those coloured purple, as almost none of the freehold purchases has yet received approval and completed the extensive repairs most of these houses require.
Since January 2016, a few of the occupied properties shown on this map have been vacated, and the government is on track to market and sell fifty of these properties between January and the end of June. But what is the future of the remaining social housing tenants and their community?
The government has provided twenty-eight flats for some of the eighty-odd public housing tenants who remained. Some were told they were not eligible for these properties, including Eve, Robbie, Margie and her family. Others were allocated places that were inappropriate, including Myra who was allocated a one-bedroom basement flat with a dangerous entry where she would have been likely to fall again. (She has recently returned to her Sirius apartment after eight months of treatment after she fell and broke her arm in four places.)
Myra remains apprehensive inside Sirius where she is the only remaining resident on her floor, and where workmen and security officers are often in the corridors on her floor, but do not tell her who they are or why they are there. But she is also hopeful that the government will not turn her out from of the only home and community she has known for fifty years. Myra is blind, ninety years old in November and independent, but relies on the people around her and relies on knowing her way around the only neighbourhood she has known for more than fifty years.
Barney remains in his High Street home, only a few doors from where he was born, and in the neighbourhood he has lived all of his sixty-five years.
Wendy lives around the corner in Little High Street, in the same flat to which the police brought her and her babies more than thirty years ago.
Together, these and the other eighty or so public housing residents have created a successful and close-knit community. There are solutions to save this community and at the same time to give the government all it wants.
Below are some key points about why the Millers Point community should be saved, and the best way to do this.
THE MILLERS POINT COMMUNITY*
Millers Point is an accidental social history location that deserves to be retained as a rare example of an inner city working community, not just buildings.
Community is important. We are a wealthy city – we invest millions into arts and reenactments, memorials and celebrations of our past and events that have shaped our nation, an element of which is 'wash'. We have the resources to protect valuable historical and unique community in Australia and real living history that goes back to first settlement and includes indigenous people.
Retaining long term residents is important as holders of social history which teaches us about our past, who we are as a people.
Having an example of the benefits of retaining long term residents is good, it gives us a unique example of how people live collaboratively and create social capital: inclusion, tolerance, and understanding of diversity is easier in functioning communities. Functioning communities are more able to look after themselves, reducing the demand on welfare and aged care. A stable, long term population of residents reduces likelihood of crime.
The community in Millers Point, Dawes Point and The Rocks is unique in Australia, with living history that goes back to first settlement. It should be preserved and celebrated.
Moving older people in the ways the government proposes to unfamiliar areas will serve as a bad example of what happens when communities are undermined. The survival of the individuals will be questionable, as social links are broken. We need examples of responsible community networks to show pother areas what works.
There are enough empty houses becoming derelict. It is awful to live amongst them, it is terrible for the houses themselves as empty houses fall into disrepair faster than those that are occupied, and these properties should be providing accommodation for people in need while the government sells the empty houses it has already.
The haste with which people are being forced out of their homes is unnecessary. The government could allow people to stay where they are, to age in place, especially those in their eighties and nineties. It appears pointless and cruel to force them out and then leave houses vacant for extended periods. So let the government sell the grand old terraces of Millers Point, but keep a few of these properties a little longer while the current residents remain, or until alternative accommodation is available for them.
Many of the remaining residents have offered to move to other accommodation in Millers Point, Dawes Point and The Rocks, and there is a strong case for keeping for public housing some of the early 20th-century workers flats, and keeping some of the Sirius apartments while perhaps selling some part of this complex to provide more funds for the government.

Q: Stripe js: don't let empty form be sent I'm trying to avoid letting users submit stripe form when inputs are empty, I`m using stripe.js elements integration to render my form and handle form submition inside my vue component.
this.cardNumberElement.on('change', this.enableForm);
this.cardExpiryElement.on('change', this.enableForm);
this.cardCvcElement.on('change', this.enableForm);

After checking the docs I tried to use the change event on inputs but this is not working sice the user can just not type anything and click submit button.
This is my component:
mounted()
{
    console.log(this.$options.name + ' component succesfully mounted');

    this.stripe = Stripe(this.stripePK);
    this.elements = this.stripe.elements();

    this.cardNumberElement = this.elements.create('cardNumber', {style: this.stripeStyles});
    this.cardNumberElement.mount('#card-number-element');
    this.cardExpiryElement = this.elements.create('cardExpiry', {style: this.stripeStyles});
    this.cardExpiryElement.mount('#card-expiry-element');
    this.cardCvcElement = this.elements.create('cardCvc', {style: this.stripeStyles});
    this.cardCvcElement.mount('#card-cvc-element');

    let stripeElements = document.querySelectorAll("#card-number-element, #card-expiry-element, #card-cvc-element");
    stripeElements.forEach(el => el.addEventListener('change', this.printStripeFormErrors));
    this.cardNumberElement.on('change', this.enableForm);
    this.cardExpiryElement.on('change', this.enableForm);
    this.cardCvcElement.on('change', this.enableForm);
},

methods:
{
    ...mapActions('Stripe', ['addSource', 'createSourceAndCustomer']),
    ...mapMutations('Stripe', ['TOGGLE_PAYMENT_FORM']),
    ...mapMutations('Loader', ['SET_LOADER', 'SET_LOADER_ID']),

    enableForm:function(event){
        if(event.complete){
            this.disabled = false;
        }
        else if(event.empty){
            this.disabled = true;
        }
    },

    submitStripeForm: function()
    {
        this.SET_LOADER({ status:1, message: 'Procesando...' });
        var self = this;

        this.stripe.createSource(this.cardNumberElement).then(function(result) {
            if (result.error) {
                self.cardErrors = result.error.message;
            }
            else {
                self.stripeSourceHandler(result.source.id);
            }
        });
    },

    stripeSourceHandler: function(sourceId)
    {
        console.log('stripeSourceHandler');

        this.cardNumberElement.clear();
        this.cardExpiryElement.clear();
        this.cardCvcElement.clear();

        if(this.customerSources.length == 0)
        {
            console.log('createSourceAndCustomer');
            this.createSourceAndCustomer({ id: sourceId });
        }
        else
        {
            console.log('addSource');
            this.addSource({ id: sourceId });
        }
    },

    printStripeFormErrors: function(event)
    {
        if(event.error)
        {
            self.cardErrors = event.error.message
        }
        else
        {
            self.cardErrors = '';
        }
    }
}

A: Given the stripe docs, the use of the event seems correct (though it can be improved a bit with using this.disabled = !event.complete to cover error case and not only empty case).
You may try to console.log in the event callback enableForm to check if event is well fired.
Anyway, it's more likely coming from the disabling logic of the submit button and it misses in your post. I've created below a fake secure-component that triggers a change event when value change.
The interesting part in on the container component :

*

*Submit is disabled by default through data disabled,

*Submit is enabled if event received has a property complete set to true. If false, it is disabled.

Hope it will help you to focus your trouble.

/**
Mock component to emulate stripes card element behavior with change event
*/
const SecureInput = {
  template: '<input type="text" v-model="cardnumber"/>',
  data: () => ({
    cardnumber: null
  }),
  watch: {
    cardnumber: function(val) {
      if(!val) {
        this.$emit('change', {empty: true, error: false, complete: false});
        return;
      }

      if(val.length < 5) {
        this.$emit('change', {empty: false, error: true, complete: false});
        return;
      }

       this.$emit('change', {empty: false, error: false, complete: true});
    }
  }
}

/* Logic is here */
const app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  components: {
    SecureInput
  },
  data: {
    disabled: true
  },
  methods: {
    updateDisable: function(event) {
      this.disabled = !event.complete;
    }
  }
 });

  <form @submit.prevent="$emit('submitted')">

<secure-input @change="updateDisable"/>

<input type="submit" :disabled="disabled"/>

  </form>

Q: 'array.each do |block|' including results of statement in generated Haml HTML I am generating an email with dynamic content from a Haml template which parses info from an array.
Basically, the Haml receives an array filled with several hashes. In the code I have a block which looks like this:
%table
  =arrayname.each do |object|
    %tr
      %td= object.name
      %td= object.link

Whenever the email is sent the entire object arrayname is included at the bottom of the HTML. This causes [#,#] (more # when there are more objects) to show up at the top of the block. There is no way to manipulate this piece of text with CSS, else I would've just hidden it.
[#<Release @id=181 @title="test" @amurl="test.com" @iturl="test.com" @cover="test.com" @date="2012-03-28" @artist_name="Test">, #<Release @id=182 @title="test" @amurl="test.com" @iturl="test.com" @cover="" @date="2012-03-31" @artist_name="Test">]

The line is identical to the results shown when executing the code in IRB.
Can anyone tell me how to prevent this from happening?

A: With Haml, you don't need to use an = for arrayname.each because that's Ruby code you want run, but not displayed. To just run code, use a hyphen.
Instead, this should work:
%table
  - arrayname.each do |object|
    %tr
      %td= object.name
      %td= object.link


CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A Charleston, W. Va. jury found Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon Inc. division liable to a woman who suffered serious injuries after being implanted in 2011 with the manufacturer's TVT-O sling. Huskey's TVT-O sling, or transvaginal tape obturator, is a polypropylene mesh sling that was used to correct stress urinary inconsistence. The plaintiff experienced mesh erosion and chronic pelvic pain.
This was the first federal bellwether trial against Johnson & Johnson alleging that Ethicon's TVT-O pelvic mesh sling is defective and has caused numerous complications in women implanted with the device. The medical device maker's Ethicon Inc. division faces more than 20,000 lawsuits regarding pelvic mesh devices, all of which are consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and will be overseen by Chief Judge Goodwin. This verdict sends a strong message to the mesh maker about future awards in these cases.


Statistics: • GDP: US$416 billion (2008).
• Main exports: Machinery, metals, paper, textiles and livestock.
• Main imports: Machinery and equipment, vehicles, chemicals and oil.
• Main trade partners: Germany, Italy, Switzerland, USA and China.
Economy: Austria is one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Manufacturing, including mining, accounts for nearly 30% of GDP. Since WWII, much of the country's industrial capacity has been in state hands and only recently has been removed from under the protective wing of the state holding company, OIAG.
Tourism is a hugely important part of the Austrian economy, especially since joining the EU in 1995. Its agriculture industry is also extremely successful, with domestic products meeting 90% of the country's food needs. Austria has moderate deposits of iron, lignite, magnesium, lead, copper, salt, zinc and silver. Although there are some oil reserves and an extensive hydroelectric programme, Austria imports two-thirds of its energy requirements.
The previously substantial trade with both the USA and the former USSR has fallen proportionally in recent years. Austria met the criteria for membership of the single European currency and joined it upon its inception at the beginning of 1999, adopting the Euro as its currency. Since then, in common with most of the EU, the economy has been sluggish. However, GDP growth was just over 3% in 2006, while inflation was at 1.7%, down from 2.6% in 2005.
Business Etiquette: Austrians are quite formal in their business dealings. A working knowledge of German is very advantageous. Best times to visit are the spring and autumn months.
Office hours: Mon-Fri 0800-1230 and 1330-1730.
Conferences & Conventions: Austria has 31 conference venues, including over 20 in Vienna and a floating conference centre, the MS Mozart, on the river Danube. The provincial capitals of Salzburg, Innsbruck, Graz, Linz, Bregenz, Klagenfurt and Eisenstadt also offer convention venues, as do several health and spa resorts. Furthermore, there are approximately 70 hotels in Austria which specialise in the conference/convention field. For more detailed information, contact the Austrian National Tourist Office (see Contact Addresses).


Plastic pollution has become an ever increasing problem. According to Strawless Ocean we use more than 500 million plastic drinking straws a day. Since they take over 200 years to biodegrade they end up as tiny little micro plastic pieces that end up in our oceans and water supply. As the Great Plastic Garbage Patch increases each year due to our use of plastics its important to look at alternatives for plastic products.
In a 2015 study, Jambeck found that we are filling the oceans with an estimated 8 million tons of plastic every year, and that is expected to increase 22 percent by 2025. This scientific team reported that seventy-nine thousand tons of plastic debris, in the form of 1.8 trillion pieces, now occupy an area three times the size of France in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii.
We can all make a difference by choosing alternatives to plastics. We can choose reusable shopping bags over plastic bags, glass storage containers over plastic wrap on bowls and glass water bottles instead of plastic bottles.
If you use straws you can also look at either biodegradable or reusable options.
So what does 500 million straws look like?
According to Ecocycle: 500 million straws could fill over 127 school buses each day, or more than 46,400 school buses every year!
500 million straws per day, is an average of 1.6 straws per person (in the US) per day. Based on this national average, each person in the U.S. will use approximately 38,000 or more straws between the ages of 5 and 65.
So if you want to give up plastic straws what options do you have?
There are numerous options including Stainless Steel, Borosilicate Glass, Natural Bamboo and Titanium.
Bamboo Straws-These are 100% Organic, BPA Free, Non-Toxic, and No Inks or Dyes.
Bambu Straws– Since these are made from natural bamboo they vary in size. These straws are handmade in Bali from whole bamboo which is a sustainable crop.
Lolistraws-These are straws made of candy in flavors like stawberry, cheery and apple.
Aardvark Straws-These jumbo straws are great for smoothies or thicker drinks. They are available in many fun colors.
Kikkerland–This brand offers straws in a variety of colors and patterns. The ink is soy based and food safe. The straws are coated with beeswax.
Eco at Heart-These beautiful stainless straws are safe for you and the environment. They offer a wide range of different designed smoothie and juice straws, as well as long and short straws.
Titanium Straws– These straws are made of food grade titanium.
Copper Straws– After each use, clean with warm water and soft soap. No hard chemicals or detergents.
Reusable Bent Glass Drinking Straws-This multi colored reusable glass straws make it easier to keep track of whose straw is whose.
Simply Straws-This fun site has lots of options for glass straws from skinny straws to straws for boba drinks. They also offer a Lifetime Guarantee against breakage that applies to their glass straws.
Straw Grace– These clear glass straws have color rings at the top. Great for families and determining whose straw is whose. these are BPA free, shatterproof and dishwasher safe straws.
Ice Straws-You can make your own straws in the freezer using these food grade silicone molds. The mold makes six, eight inch straws with whatever you liquid you like.
Silicone Straws– These straws are BPA free and made of food grade silicone. Clean with the included straw squeegee and these are dishwasher safe.
Buy Me Once-These silicone straws from Serphina's Kitchen are reusable, BPA free, lead and phthalate free. They are easy to clean with the included brush or cleaned in the dishwasher.
If you use a reusable straw, you've got to clean them after each use. They are the perfect environment for nasty mold to grow. So be sure to clean your straws with the handy skinny brush that is included.
In addition you can soak your straws in a 50-50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and water.

Anthony Cohen, CBE, FRSE is a British social anthropologist and served as Principal of Edinburgh's Queen Margaret University.

Cohen was born in London in 1946. Educated at Whittingehame College, Brighton, the University of Geneva and the University of Southampton, he is a social anthropologist with specialist interests in personal, social and national identity. He conducted fieldwork in Springdale, Newfoundland (1968–70) on local-level politics; and in Whalsay (1973–90), the longest sustained study of a rural British community ever undertaken. He then did research on personal and national identity in Scotland, and on the literary influences on Scottishness.

Anthony Cohen was a research fellow at the Memorial University of Newfoundland; assistant professor at Queen's University and lecturer and senior lecturer in social anthropology at the University of Manchester. In 1988 he was appointed Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh, a post he held until 2003. He was Provost of Law and Social Sciences, and Dean of Social Sciences at Edinburgh for five years (1997—2002). In 2003, he was appointed Honorary Professor of Social Anthropology.

In 2003, he became Principal and Vice-Patron of Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh, and Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology. In January 2007, QMUC was awarded university title, and Professor Cohen became the founding Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Queen Margaret University. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1994, and was awarded the honorary degree of D.Sc by the University of Edinburgh in 2005, and the degree of D.Sc (honoris causa) by the University of St Andrews in 2017.

He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2008 Birthday Honours.

Although I applaud her diligence in studying documents, it seems likely that she changed her mind on Wednesday September 2 because that was the very day when the President secured the last Senate vote--from Barbara Mikulski (D. Md)—that he needed to support a veto of any Congressional block of the diplomatic accord. With the heat off, Chu could take a position under the radar.
Courageous groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and CodePink have supported the Iran agreement as the only peaceful course. Powerful interests, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), have lobbied hard against the agreement and Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino mogul, promised contributions to elected officials who oppose the deal. There are different points of view surely, but having no position at all is not becoming to an elected official who has known about the issues for months. Spinning the decision as a last minute intellectual choice underestimates the intelligence of constituents.
Congresswoman Chu's website contains an "Issues" menu. She has no "foreign policy", "defense" or "peace" or "war" or "international" choices. This is surprising since more than 50% of the national discretionary budget is devoted to military expenditure, not including international affairs and intelligence.
War, nuclear power and diplomacy are fundamental to Congressional responsibility. On these life and death issues, constituents deserve candor and clarity from the politicians who represent us in Washington.

The liver is an organ whose primary functions include releasing bile into the intestines to aid in digestion, breaking down and storing nutrients, clearing medications from the body and removing toxic substances from the blood. The liver also produces clotting factors, which prevent excessive blood loss from minor injuries. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body, and is located in the upper-right-hand part of the abdominal cavity, just under the ribcage and beneath the diaphragm.

At the core of the archive is the 'Sanctuary collection'; the papers collected by local residents John and Maisie Sanctuary, which were donated to the village by their son Gerald in 1998. Over the years the collection has significantly expanded, largely through the generous donations of local people.
The Heritage Centre and All Saints Parish Office share a building on Broadway. The original conversion of this council owned building in 1996, and it's refurbishment in 2017, were funded by the Parochial Church Council, after an earlier scheme to create a Heritage Centre and Information Centre had to be abandoned through lack of funds. The Parochial Parish Council holds the lease, which permits the use of part of the premises as a Heritage Centre, Information Centre and Museum.
The Heritage Collection is under the guardianship of Laleham Trustees, whilst the Heritage Centre is managed by Laleham Residents Association. From its inception, the collection was catalogued and cared for by Alan Stewart-Darling, until his death in 2015.
The Heritage Centre has periodic open days and can be visited at other times by arrangement with the curator. Look-ups can be done on request. The current curator is Dominic O'Malley, who can be contacted at dom.omalley@hotmail.co.uk or through the residents association at lalehamra@gmail.com

Gary Barbera Says the CES in Las Vegas Proves FCA's Jeep Wrangler, Renegade, and Compass 4xe Are Electrified, Plugged in and Geared for Innovation and the Future of Technology Is Now
Updated 9:00 AM CST, Tue, January 07,2020
CES Annual Consumer Electronics Show is the global stage for innovation in Las Vegas and is organized by the Consumer Technology Association hosting technological advances in 5G and IOT (The Internet of Things), Advertising and Entertainment, Healthcare and Wellness, Immersive Entertainment, Automotive Technology and much more.
Philadelphia, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/07/2020 -- As reported by www.americajr.com News, Sports and Entertainment with information provided by FCA:
FCA at CES 2020: Jeep® brand to showcase three plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, Fiat Concept Centoventi
Auburn Hills, Mich. — FCA is using CES 2020 in Las Vegas to demonstrate the company's newest technologies related to electrification, Uconnect user experience (UX) and connectivity in a visual and physical array, honoring and building on the company's history and tradition of innovation.
Ever since the first car radio appeared nearly 100 years ago, automotive innovators have worked to contribute more technology to the space. FCA customers love and are loyal to the company's brands partially due to heritage, and since CES is focused on electronics, it challenged FCA to mix the two pieces in a display of tradition and technology that addresses the growing expectations of car buyers.
Electric vehicles, connectivity and autonomous vehicles are among the hot topics in the auto industry. FCA's visually and physically stimulating approach at CES showcases the company's efforts in an ever-changing wave of technology while respecting the company's history.
Jeep® Wrangler, Renegade and Compass 4xe Models
The Jeep brand is utilizing CES to showcase three plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the first step in the brand's plan to offer electrification options on all models by 2022. All Jeep electrified vehicles will carry a new "Jeep 4xe badge."
Electrification, including the upcoming no-compromise Jeep 4xe vehicles, will modernize the Jeep brand as it strives to become the leader in "green" eco-friendly premium technology. Jeep electric vehicles will be the most efficient and responsible Jeep vehicles ever, providing absolute and quiet open-air freedom while taking performance, 4×4 capability and driver confidence to the next level. With greater torque and immediate engine response, Jeep electric vehicles will offer an even more fun-to-drive experience on the road and more capability than ever off the road.
Additional information about the Jeep Wrangler, Compass and Renegade 4xe vehicles, which debut this year, will be provided at the Geneva, New York and Beijing auto shows.
Jeep 4×4 Adventure VR Experience
Jeep has demonstrated 4×4 capability leadership for nearly 80 years. Merging electrification into the product lineup is a natural evolution. CES attendees will have a unique opportunity to see the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, the Jeep Compass 4xe and Jeep Renegade 4xe. All three vehicles are part of FCA's commitment to globally launch more than 30 electrified nameplates by 2022.
Attendees wishing to experience a simulated 4×4 journey can take a ride in the new Jeep 4×4 Adventure VR Experience. Using Moab, Utah, one of the most popular off-road destinations for Jeep owners and enthusiasts, as a backdrop, participants will navigate the infamous Hell's Revenge trail. The route is broken into different sections from intermediate to difficult. As an added bonus, among the virtual assets within the software is a driver's point of view inside the new Jeep Wrangler 4xe, giving participants a sneak peek of the most advanced Jeep Wrangler, the company has ever built.
To create the virtual experience, a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is positioned on four hydraulic cylinders, one at each wheel. The Wrangler reacts to input provided by actual wheel position data recordings made on the trail. The hydraulic system pushes the Wrangler's engineered suspension, replicating the movement a driver would experience traversing an obstacle or cresting a hill. Inside the vehicle, participants wearing VR goggles will see the actual scenery correlated to the Hell's Revenge trail. Each time a participating team completes a portion of the trail, the accomplishment is logged with team score and a virtual Trail Rated badge that can be viewed live via the "Jeep Adventure" app. Users can track their team score and compare with others who have participated in the Jeep 4×4 Adventure VR Experience. As the display travels to different shows and events around the world, additional off-road trails will be loaded into the module, giving participants a wide array of Jeep 4×4 seat time in different environments.
UX has experienced significant growth and innovation within the automotive industry. Within the FCA booth space, six two-sided screens showcase the award-winning Uconnect system. Uconnect is a powerful foundation to build upon. What was once just about the radio is becoming less constrained to the vehicle itself, more helpful, content rich and personalized. Tailored for each brand and vehicle, the system is becoming a significant reason for purchase — about half of new car buyers consider technology in their purchase.
Airflow Vision Concept
The Airflow Vision is a sculptural design concept that envisions the next generation of premium transportation and UX by considering how the driver and passengers could interact with advanced technologies. It is created for customers with an on-the-go lifestyle and a desire for a first-class travel experience while balancing their technology needs within a serene environment.
Inside, UX plays a prominent role and is designed to be a captivating experience using multi-layered, high-contrast graphics and thoughtful details that provide a clean, sophisticated appearance. Built on the principles of depth, hierarchy, consistency and legibility, the user will be able to see and experience the interface in a way that is safe, easy to use and understand.
Using a menu-based format, screens can be personalized, simplified and grouped to individual needs and interests. Offering multiple display screens, the user can access needed information and determine how it's displayed. Information on the screens can be shared with all passengers by swiping, allowing each passenger to participate in the experience. Customization and personalization are key, whether driving or acting as a co-pilot.
A simple, modern and spacious interior, accented by a light, calming color palette, offers passengers a home away from home environment and a first-class travel experience. Using the dimensions and flat-load floor of the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV, the interior creates a spacious environment for all occupants. Premium suede and leather materials are abundant, offering luxurious touchpoints to its occupants. Seating uses a unique slim structure that rests on a pedestal base, enhancing comfort and roominess and allowing for maximum legroom, shoulder space and personal storage for each passenger. Functional and ambient lighting enables the driver and passengers to create a personalized inner sanctum.
Outside, the Airflow Vision captures a new proportion with an elegant and clean design statement, and hints at the future of premium design. It features an athletic profile, long wheelbase, sleek lines and wide stance that creates a dramatic persona and aggressive, yet elegant silhouette. Simplified to its purest artistic expression, the Airflow Vision reimagines a muscular body that flows into and becomes one with the wheels. The wheels are inspired by mechanical elements of an electric motor and give the sense of motion similar to the internal mechanisms of a watch.
Crystalized textures throughout the vehicle add a sense of precision and intricate transition from exterior to interior. LED crystal lighting flows seamlessly into a cross-car blade that conveys a commanding presence. The Airflow Vision's dramatic expression is completed by an Arctic White body color that conveys a sense of calm and serenity and is supported with a Celestial Blue underbody.
First introduced at last year's Geneva International Motor Show, the innovative Fiat Concept Centoventi makes its North American debut at CES 2020.
The Fiat Concept Centoventi represents the perfect expression of the FIAT brand's vision of electric mass mobility for the future. Centoventi, which means "120" in Italian, is a concept that was introduced in celebration of the brand's storied 120-year history.
The revolutionary concept addresses electric mobility with basic, customizable solutions. The Fiat Concept Centoventi is fundamentally a "blank canvas" ready to be painted to suit the customer's tastes and needs at any time of their life, without customization restrictions linked to the time of purchase.
Produced in just one color, the vehicle may be "painted" by the customer using the "4U" program and the exterior may be personalized with a choice of four roof options, four bumpers, four wheel covers and four external wrappings.
Regarding the interior, from the instrument cluster to storage compartments and from seats to child-restraint systems, the interchangeable interior accessories may be installed in plug-and-play mode by the customer on the vehicle's patented dashboard.
With its innovative battery modular architecture, even the concept vehicle's range may be customized. The range may be varied to meet specific needs from 60 miles to 300 miles, which makes it perfect for urban commuting and for a weekend getaway by the sea or in the mountains.
One of the concept car's strong points is that owners no longer have to wait for new special editions or facelifts; they may change their cars on any day. In addition, the Fiat Concept Centoventi sets another automotive benchmark as it becomes a social media device with its modern display installed in its tailgate.
The car has been designed and engineered with sharing and new forms of urban mobility in mind. The cockpit is equipped with a small screen facing the windshield outward, it can be used to communicate messages, such as busy, free, parking paid, etc. In addition, a second large tailgate display enables Fiat Concept Centoventi to supersede the concept of connectivity to become a social media device on which messages may be shared with the outdoor world. When the vehicle is in motion, the car will only show the FIAT logo, but once it stops, the driver can switch to "messenger" mode and create a new message.
FCA at CES
Located in the main building of the Las Vegas Convention Center, FCA occupies more than 6,000 square feet of floor space at CES, offering visitors an exclusive delivery of knowledge, engagement and entertainment. Stationed at the center of the display is a rotating theater. As the 40-foot circle spins like a gigantic turntable, attendees' view of products changes as does the story-telling digital display on a unique, Hologauze screen, aligning brand with history and technological innovation. Above, a conical LED screen teamed with light provides an aerial performance of design with imagery.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is a global automaker that designs, engineers, manufactures and sells vehicles in a portfolio of exciting brands, including Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep®, Lancia, Ram and Maserati. It also sells parts and services under the Mopar name and operates in the components and production systems sectors under the Comau and Teksid brands.

L. Ron Hubbard is perhaps best known as an author, as Founder of the Scientology religion, and as a great humanitarian who, after more than half a century of research into methods to better the human condition, left a legacy that improves people's lives in innumerable ways. This legacy is recorded in an immense body of work that comprises tens of millions of words in articles, books and lectures.
Born in Tilden, Nebraska, on March 13, 1911, Mr. Hubbard spent his early years in what was then still the frontier territory of Montana. Possessed of a rare curiosity, one that motivated his ethnological examinations of 21 races and cultures and encouraged him while still in his teens to trek across a then remote China that few Westerners would ever see, he logged more than a quarter of a million miles by the time he reached the age of 19 - without the benefit of commercial air transportation.
By the time he enrolled in George Washington University in 1930 to study engineering, it was obvious that he had already embarked upon his life's work - a search for solutions to man's most perplexing problems and the creation of workable technologies that would improve all facets of life. By technology is meant the methods of application of the principles of something, as opposed to mere knowledge of the thing itself. Thus Mr. Hubbard's technologies can be applied to improve conditions.
His accomplishments include a considerable body of work known as Study Technology. This contains his discoveries of the basic reasons why students fail to grasp a subject and of the barriers to full comprehension of what one is studying. And he developed methods by which anyone can improve his ability to learn and apply what he has studied. Today, his Study Technology is used in schools throughout the world - and is a major factor in the success of the Hubbard College of Administration, which utilizes it fully in all of its courses to the benefit of its students.
As for administration, realizing in 1950 that what passed for administration at the time was inconsistent and arbitrary, Mr. Hubbard turned his attention to that area and wrote the first of many papers on the subjects of management and organization. His first book on the subject, How to Live Though an Executive, published in 1953, recognized that the true role of an executive in any organization was to plan and supervise, and it detailed a communication system to improve functionality in any office or organization. Indeed, the book was a communication manual appropriate for any organization of any size. Three years later, his bookThe Problems of Work isolated the problems encountered on the job by everyone, from worker to Chief Executive Officer, and presented methods anyone could use to regain his or her enthusiasm for work.
In 1965, after years of continuing research into the forms and functions of organization, Mr. Hubbard announced his development of the seven-division organizing board, a major breakthrough that presented the most successful administrative pattern of operation for any group of any size. These seven divisions, which are each divided into departments, encompass all the actions that are performed or should be performed in any organization. Indeed, this organizational breakthrough, when standardly applied, ensures the continued success and stable expansion of all organizations.
The full body of his work in this area can be found in nine encyclopedia-sized volumes, including an index volume, comprising the Organization Executive Course, and the three Management Series volumes. Contained in these twelve volumes is technology that guarantees the survival and growth of groups from the small to the enormous, as has been proven in recent decades by thousands upon thousands of companies and groups in countries throughout the world.
After completing his work, L. Ron Hubbard departed this life on January 24, 1986. He accomplished all he had set out to do and his legacy continues to impact on the lives of millions. Mr. Hubbard once said,"I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days."
Today, millions in many fields utilize Mr. Hubbard's principles to rid themselves of those shadows and better their lives.

Behind The Design: Greek Hills
Our 2014 Course Tour Concludes With a Beauty
Posted on September 23, 2013 at 8:02 PM UTC
The grand tour of Golden Tee 2014 courses has reached its final destination and what better way to go out than a trip to Greece. Oh, this one is fun to look at it. Just hit pause (making sure your buddy doesn't hit your shot), look around and enjoy the scene.
I mean, just look at that backdrop.
Greek Hills is last (but certainly not least) to get the behind-the-scenes treatment, one final sneak peek at the new creations before you get to test them out yourself. And unlike perhaps some of the other courses—whether it be lava or pot bunkers or some other location-specific surface—this course has a bit of everything.
No, there isn't hot lava (it's Greece) and the pot bunkers will stay where they are on the links-style course, but this challenge has a local feel with some traditional obstacles.
The result is an 18-hole adventure that could lead to a big score… if you're on the mark.
The Subtle Challenges
There are no cheat codes to these designs, no secret tunnel under ground to get from Point A to Point B (aw, shucks). The obstacles scattered throughout are clear and obvious, but that doesn't you can breeze right by or through them.
Whether it's a well-placed group of bunkers on a par-5 or a grouping of trees guarding the direct path to the green on a reachable par-4, there's subtleness about these challenges that is both inviting and deceiving.
The sand traps are where you'll likely miss (aw, shucks), while trees will require some maneuvering depending on both wind and tee box. Those Golden Tees of yours—the tees themselves, not the game—will come in handy here. Whether it's to clear an obstacle with a high tee or maneuver around the tee box, this flexibility will come in handy plenty.
Don't take them lightly; and I have zero doubts that you will.
About Those Drivable Par-4s
Perhaps this section is just an extension of the topical point above, although these specific designs warrant some extra mentioning. The possibility of a monster score is out there, that's for certain.
Now, walking away with it unscathed is a different story.
The par-4s that setup to be reached in one vary in difficulty. Each will require a different form of attack—as is typically the case—although they can be attacked. The consistency between these designs, however, is that all present a rather intriguing case of Risk. Vs. Reward.
"The Subtle Challenges," remember?
Whether it's a small stream in front of the green after a long driver off the tee or a grouping of trees protecting an outlet to the promised land, the drivable par-4s will be where your score is won and lost. The opportunities are there, the challenges very reasonable, and now it's just a matter of execution.
Ah, if only it were that easy always.
Ah yes, a classic par-3 closing hole. And they don't get more classic than this.
Green, rough, sand and water. Oh, and a pin. That part's important.
What I like about the 17th hole is that the strategy is quite clear. The green is sloped severely downhill toward the water, and therein lies the challenge. If you want to play it safe, however, you can. Going long into the sand and chipping it on is a fine idea depending on the setup, and there will undoubtedly be some challenging looks.
The wind, of course, is always at its toughest at this point in the game, and the shortness of the hole could make club selection interesting. You'll likely have some sort of wedge in your hand, but you might be stuck between clubs.
If that's the case, you'll probably have to be creative. No worries, you've been in bigger pickles than this.
It's not dazzling, it's not overly unique, but it's also not an easy birdie. The final par-3 has an identity you've seen before, and sometimes that's a good thing.

Cambria County Catastrophic Injury Lawyer
Sometimes injuries suffered in an accident are so severe that the consequences they cause end up being permanent and debilitating, which means ensuing civil litigation cannot center around restoring an injured person to his or her pre-accident state like it normally would. Instead, the focus must be on stabilizing the injured party as much as possible and ensuring he or she can live a comfortable life despite his or her new disability or disfigurement.
Assistance from a Cambria County personal injury attorney specifically experienced with cases like this can be absolutely essential to effective recovery after an injury of this severity. With a Cambria County catastrophic injury lawyer's guidance, you could have better chances of achieving compensation not just for immediate short-term losses, but also for the various negative effects your condition will have on your life in the long term.
What Makes an Injury Catastrophic?
"Catastrophic injury" is a colloquial term rather than a legal one, which means there is no specific definition established under Pennsylvania law establishing exact criteria for "catastrophic" injuries compared to less severe personal injuries. An injury is understood to be catastrophic when it is both debilitating and permanent. Catastrophic injuries often cause a substantial loss of physical or cognitive function and are expected to last for the remainder of a person's life. Catastrophic injuries are the most tragic outcomes of unfortunate accidents, as victims are often left with a complete loss of use of parts of their body. Many victims are unable to work again or even handle their own medical and financial needs. Some victims have to modify their homes, such as installation of ramps or wheelchair lifts.
A Cambria County attorney could provide more information about what constitutes catastrophic harm and how cases of this nature may proceed in unique ways.
Overcoming Obstacles to Comprehensive Recovery
One of the most complex elements of most catastrophic injury claims is the necessity of identifying and valuing future damages before they actually occur. Since the two-year filing deadline set by 42 P.S. §5524 applies to most personal injury cases, no matter how serious the injuries are, people who suffer traumatic injuries like paralysis or permanent brain damage cannot wait until every eventual effect of that injury manifests before filing suit. If he or she does, the case may be time-barred and he or she may be ineligible to recover anything at all.
The modified comparative fault system set forth in 42 P.S. §7102 also applies to catastrophic injuries. Plaintiffs who are partly to blame for causing or worsening their own damages will have their recovery reduced by the percentage of their own fault, and a plaintiff will be barred from making any recovery at all if he or she was 51 percent or more responsible for causing the accident. Support from a seasoned lawyer can be crucial to overcoming these and other procedural roadblocks during a catastrophic accident claim in Cambria County.
Speak with a Cambria County Catastrophic Injury Attorney Today
There is unfortunately no easy path forward after a catastrophic injury, both in coming to terms with the harm you suffered and in terms of pursuing financial compensation from the person who caused that harm. Fortunately, help is available from the dedicated legal professionals at Marcus & Mack who have assisted other people like you through similar legal situations.
A conversation with a Cambria County catastrophic injury lawyer at our firm could set you on course towards the best possible case resolution. Call today to schedule a meeting.

The eight planets of our Solar System
large globe-shaped objects that orbit a star, such as our Sun.
begin life at the same time as their star – from the leftover clouds of gas and dust.
planets are never more than 5% of the mass of our Sun – if they were bigger, they would be stars.
terrestrial planets – surface of solid rock; others called gas planets – do not have a solid surface, just clouds.
our Solar System has eight planets – Pluto was ninth, but it is very small and now it's called a planetoid (dwarf planet).
over 200 plants have been detached orbiting other stars – it's called extra-solar planets.
extra-solar planets are too far away to see, but can be detached by its making their stars appear to wobble.
many known extra-solar planets are giants, bigger than Jupiter; they orbit rapidly, closer to their stars than Mercury is to the Sun.
today improved detection techniques may reveal smaller planets orbiting further out in space.
