Viking Hoard Saved
3rd November 2017 3rd November 2017 Edward Little
National Museums Scotland (NMS) has raised nearly £2m to give the Galloway Viking hoard a permanent home in Edinburgh.
The money will be paid to metal detectorist Derek McLennan, who found the hoard in Galloway in 2014.
NMS was given six months to raise £1.98m or risk losing the artefacts to a private buyer.
The treasure is on display until 12th November, after which it will be taken away for two years to be restored.
Derek McLennan, a retired businessman and amateur detectorist from Ayrshire, found the hoard in September 2014 on an undisclosed piece of land owned by Church of Scotland, which he had been given permission to search.
At the time he said: "I unearthed the first piece, initially I didn't understand what I had found because I thought it was a silver spoon and then I turned it over and wiped my thumb across it and I saw the Saltire-type of design and knew instantly it was Viking.
"Then my senses exploded, I went into shock, endorphins flooded my system and away I went stumbling towards my colleagues waving it in the air."
In May the hoard was given to NMS by the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer David Harvie, who makes decisions on ownerless property.
The museum put the collection on public display and was given six months to raise £1.98m to keep it permanently.
About 1,500 members of the public donated £200,000 to the campaign to keep the treasure at NMS.
A further £1m came from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, which is given £5m a year by the UK government to save heritage of national importance from being lost. The Scottish government contributed £150,000.
Further donations came about after a large scale media campaign led by Retired MP Johnathan Melrose started up last month emphasising the importance of such a discovery and how it should not fall into the hands of private collectors. Many Scottish businesses have shown their support with donations.
With the increased exposure the museum hit its fundraising target two weeks ahead of the 12 November deadline.
Dumfries and Galloway Council had put in a bid to secure the hoard for a new art gallery being built in Kirkcudbright but it was ultimately unsuccessful, despite going to appeal.
NMS has pledged to put part of the collection on permanent display in the town in due course and, on occasions, to allow all of the artefacts to be shown.
Dr Gordon Rintoul, director of National Museums Scotland, said: "In the last six months we have been overwhelmed by the response from the business community and the general public who have got behind our campaign to 'Save the Hoard'.
"I would like to say a personal thank you to everyone who has generously donated to the campaign, without them this incredible achievement would not have been possible.
"Now we look forward to starting the work on conserving and researching the hoard to unlock its secrets."
Fiona Hyslop MSP, secretary for culture, tourism and external affairs, said: "The Galloway Hoard is one of the most important collections ever discovered in Scotland.
"It is important that the hoard is made available for the people of Scotland and our visitors from around the world to see. "

Welcome, nice looking car! 14s are thin on the ground these days so I hope you get to hold onto it rather than get a modern euro box that all look the same.
Welcome! I had a TGE in delage red a while back and it was a great engine - perky and quite fun for just a 1.4. I did like that BX, I hope you enjoy yours just as much.


Difference between revisions of "Spaced repetition"
Spaced repetition is a general idea that can be combined with any mode of review. For instance, spaced repetition may be done using a [[quiz and recall]] strategy: a list of questions and answers is generated during the original study (or obtained from elsewhere) and the learner quizzes himself or herself using that list of questions after the appropriately spaced intervals. Spaced repetition may also use more active forms of recall (such as trying to reconstruct the whole knowledge base without any cues at all) or more passive forms or recall (such as reading through the learning material again).

Time has a thoughtful and engaging story on New York's Asia Society show on China's propaganda art:
Though they were produced in murderous times, the works at the Asia Society are almost uniformly cheery, following the dictum of Jiang Qing, Mao's fourth wife and ultimate cultural arbiter, that art be "red, bright and shining." In other words: propaganda. Asia Society Museum Director Melissa Chiu and co-curator Zheng Shengtian argue in the show's excellent catalog, however, that, didactic or not, socialist art represented a "significant cultural movement in China" — one that produced some "truly great art," especially paintings, and that such works "continue to influence Chinese visual culture." The contemporary installation artist Xu Bing, whose Cultural Revolution – era drawings are on display, supports the idea that the production of propaganda led to legitimate artistic achievement. "If you want to probe deeply into the underpinnings of contemporary Chinese art," he says in the catalog, "you have to consider the influence of the Cultural Revolution on my generation because it was an entirely unique experience." [ . . . ]
Some of those artists went on to great success later like Chen Yifei.
Unlike their contemporary counterparts, revolutionary artists painted without cynicism and with plenty of socialist ardor. That doesn't mean that their work was immune from interference or mishandling. When Shen Jiawei's Standing Guard for Our Great Motherland — a heroic masterpiece of three guards in a watchtower high above a snowy landscape — was first exhibited in Beijing in 1974, the faces of the soldiers had been made fuller, fiercer and pinker on Jiang Qing's orders. In the present exhibition, the painting has been restored to the image intended by the artist, now a highly acclaimed portraitist in Australia.

If I were "Western Civilization" on trial, I would not want Rep. Steve King as my defense attorney. That would be like Ben Affleck defending "Acting", Guy Fieri defending "Eating Vegetables", or Kim Jong-un defending "Not Being So Crazy You Make Charles Manson Sound Like Neil deGrasse Tyson").
Rep. Steve King is correct, if you accept that "Western Civilization" is more of a narrative construct than a real thing — that means if you buy into post-modern thought, narrative constructs, the inherent subjectivity of all human experience (all those being things that Rep. King probably wants to cram into a rocket and blast into the sun revolving around a flat earth).
In that sense, the experience of "Western Civilization" under attack is really the experience of people who are suffering real and perceived harm from changes — "how you feel about the world and your place in it" changes, quality of living changes, "affordability of essential healthcare" changes, "competition for resources and jobs and money" changes, "the old ways don't work for me anymore" changes, etc.
Rep. King is also politicizing that ignorance, something frowned upon by every "Western" icon from Moses to Mr. Winston Churchill.
Let's set aside for now the idea of "restoring" something that never really existed. As if "Western Civilization" is some kind of older Operating System that we rashly replaced on all of our computers and smartphones, but can reinstall from a sacred backup (somewhere in "the cloud")…because <SARCASM> an Operating System has nothing to do with the physical constraints of resources, a device's purpose, the users, etc. </SARCASM>. Keep shoving that punch card into the HDMI slot.
You have to wonder about where Rep. King situates "Western Civilization" in earth's geography and timeline, and its relationship to everything else. Is this a mashup of Evolution and Eschatology, where nothing precedes WC and nothing but destruction can follow it?
Is WC part of the same demographics of human migration out of Africa, where we now know humans first began working with tools for material function (industry) *and* artistic expression (intelligence)?
Is WC the same unified entity that has fought millennia of wars among itself over land, resources, power, trading rights, religious authority, and sometimes even just pride — including a war that almost ended with mutually assured nuclear annihilation (depending on whether you count the USSR/Russia as a member of "Western Civilization", which Rep. King might because of their antagonistic engagement with Muslims)?
Is WC as incompatible with "someone else's babies" as the mammals whose communities must continually bring new & foreign DNA into the gene pool — in order to stay healthy, productive, competitive, and resilient to environmental changes?
Is WC part of the same "host culture" as the Romans were to Judeo-Christianity, a Middle Eastern religious culture that so totally intertwined itself with the Roman Empire that it even today influences patterns of governance, trade, warfare and diplomacy?
Is WC part of the same intellectual history of Perception v.s. Reality as depicted by Greek playwright Sophocles in Antigone, where a mentally damaged tyrant hides his abuse of power and suppression of dissent with a distorted idea of "tradition"?
What would happen if people like Rep. King would really examine "Western Civilization" today on its own terms — as scientifically honest as Galileo, as intellectually critical as a Plato or a Socrates, as concerned with its soul as a Jesus, as mathematically exact as an Einstein, as precisely described as a Leonardo Da'Vinci, as unscrupulously analyzed as a Machiavelli, as economically minded as an Adam Smith, as politically passionate as a Lincoln or a Kennedy or a Reagan?
Then he would have to look at the facts, all of the facts, as they really are now. He would have to use every applicable tool and framework. He would have to factor in the known as well as unknown. He would even have to factor in new theories of the mind and of the history of the earth and the living things that inhabit it.
Then Rep. King would have to look at "Western Civilization" as a narrative in the context of a larger narrative of Life and Luck, where people do really struggle to make good decisions against a world of physical restraints, biological impulses, natural-environmental pressures, cultural influences, institutional obstacles, etc.
Then Rep. King would have to look at "Western Civilization" as a framework or story to describe the experience of a particular self-identifying group that emerges successfully out of unique conditions, conditions that are definitely not totally controlled by that group (there's a reason the Europeans were so fond of "Divine Providence", especially when finding North America, a continent so exquisitely abundant with natural wealth and strong ocean barriers against invading armies).
Even if he just wanted to look at the experienced narrative of "Western Civilization", he would have to admit that underlying the superficial "clash of civilizations" are fundamental patterns of reciprocity and mutually benefit…even if these patterns happen along a long "arc of history" stretching over years of death and destruction and ignorance and cruelty.
If he did that, then he would have to see his Tweets and Breitbart comments as highly questionable (at best) and outright ridiculous (at worst).

7 Ways States Are Defying the Federal Government With Local Laws
ByMichael Nathan Magan
In light of an overbearing federal government pushing gun control, health care reform, and the NDAA, some local governments have taken actions to increase the freedom in their states.
There are, of course, so many ways that states try to exert their constitutional power but these are the top seven.
1. Texas and guns:
There is nothing like threatening to throw federal officers in jail for enforcing what Texas believes is against the Second Amendment. A proposed bill would make it a felony to enforce federal gun control laws, and the legislation is apparently very popular amongst Texans.
Texas is not the only state that is trying to pass such laws: Washington fines enforcement agents, there's protection for gun makers in Michigan, and there's a pending refusal to enforce presidential executive orders in Oregon. States across the country are exerting the right to bear arms with some impressive gusto.
2. Virginia's own currency:
Nothing shows a lack of confidence in the federal government like a state that has begun printing its own state currency in preparation for the imminent collapse of the U.S. dollar. Virginia is moving closer to issuing its own state currency. The last time the states could print their own money without government intervention was 1863.
3. Washington's anti-NDAA bill:
A title worth its weight in gold, the Washington State Preservation of Liberty Act is attempting to reverse the National Defense Authorization Act that explicitly gives the president powers that were before considered hush-hush. It is about time that the anti-civil-right-constitutional trials by bureaucrats, habeas "indefinite" corpus, and execution by white paper are being contested by the states.
4. Idaho nullifying Affordable Care Act insurance exchanges:
Nullification has an incredibly bad rap, but the obscure legal principle was in fact first used to nullify the Federal Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 which forced free states to return slaves to Southern states, far from its perceived "racist" origins.
Well, nullification is happening again in Idaho for considerably different reasons. This time, legislators are trying to reduce the cost of health care: yes, the thing Obama said universal health care would do. Protesters want to attempt to circumvent the federal health care exchange for a smaller statewide one.
5. Mississippi nullifying federal laws:
Yes, nullification again. But this one is a little broader: Mississippi lawmakers are in the process of legislating a rather unconventional committee to nullify federal laws the state doesn't want to follow. This is probably the only government committee I would be honored to serve on but that is beside the point.
But wait, there's more: South Carolina is considering introducing similar legislation to nullify "gun control, health-care reform, and the detention of suspected terrorists."
6. Marijuana legalization in Washington and Colorado:
This is a really big deal. The longest prohibition of a recreational substance in U.S. history has been nominally lifted in two states, and not for some conspicuous coffee shop or medical use but rather full-blown legalization. It doesn't take a marijuana user or even someone who detests drug use to realize the profundity of such increases in human freedom and the positive benefit of eliminating the negative effects of black markets.
7. The Free State Project in New Hampshire:
Last but not least, America can now boast the migration of thousands of freedom seekers who are doing something more powerful than voting: using their feet. The Free State Project is trying to round up freedom-lovers to New Hampshire to "free" it.
Nothing says success when liberal state representatives are threatening to make their state an "unwelcoming environment" and restrict the freedoms the migrants want. The pro-liberty movement knows it; there was a surge in interest in moving to New Hampshire by "Free Staters" after the viral explosion of those comments.


MONTREAL – scored on all three of his shootout attempts, the last the seventh round to Cheap Jerseys China give the United States a 4 victory over Russia on Wednesday the world junior hockey semifinals. Between the two of them, was targeted once by quarterback Fitzpatrick. That's what we need from those guys. Darius really struggled, and the safeties battling for the fourth spot on the roster didn't show much. That's been our modus operandi and we want to keep on doing that. His last two goals against? None of that had to do with Bannerman. He had a good day, and for long stretches MLB Jerseys China looked like the team's most accurate quarterback, more than even http://www.nhljerseyssupply.com Stafford, who had inconsistent day.
Adolphus Washington and Leger Douzable figure to additional reps at defensive end with sidelined. He has reasonable buyouts after each year. After going unclaimed, the D'Backs sent him to Single A to fix his mechanical issues. Clearly, should be much better than 15 th, which is where 15% of votes ranked him last year. Scheme was what saved him. The Warriors moved the ball well and limited their turnovers, especially the first half.
And he even managed to steal three draft picks for Bargnani.
why not excommunicate MLB Jerseys China former players who bring shame to the game? Then his arm started to hurt and his fastball left him. MLB Jerseys China Add those two measures up and you end up Cheap Jerseys Wholesale with a who owns a 0 BB K ratio for his career, slightly better than the 0 major league .
Baltimore is hoping that the 35-year-old veteran shows more Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping of the same from last year. I think proven value for a contract is important, as is injury history. He would represent a possible upgrade the middle innings over rookies and other younger 40- options like Heller and Holder. Corey was relatively unnoticed for most of the as well. But as Toronto chases its post- aspirations, the club had been up and down with its results of late, winning four times the last 10 . Tomlin does somehow manage to get them up for these kinds of . He stands on his Cheap NHL Jerseys , and that's what Chuck does. But the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a focal point for the efforts of of the pros. The jury began deliberations on Tuesday morning, then … offer sheet is basically legal tampering, IMO.
Down 2 to the first-seeded Wholesale MLB Jerseys Golden State Warriors the first round of the playoffs, Harden scored 35 points Game 3 , including the game-winner with 2 seconds left to lift the Rockets to a 97 win. Rather than preserving maximum financial flexibility leading into free agency, the Pistons traded for Ersan Ilyasova. This time, and said they had found dead of overdose 's car, a needle sticking out of her arm, and, Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale instead of simply calling police, they panicked. The game has changed, no question about it. Since the Jazz are gunning Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale for a top-four seed this , youngsters such as Dante Exum and Lyles aren't getting much run, but both could become -term factors for Utah due time. The offense seems to be coming together, since the lineup was changed with Robinson III starting. As far as Middleton's minutes, I truly 't care who loses time aside from Jabari and Giannis. I'm going with the Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – David Pastrnak trio. While Wholesale MLB Jerseys the Rockies have one of the best players Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale baseball Arenado and intriguing, young rotation, they're obviously still trying to figure out how to put together a combination that work. Last Thursday, while the Cheap Jerseys China Blazers were on a six-game road trip before the All-Star break, Hickson fired off a few tweets that concluded with #girlbye.
It's much better today, he said before Wednesday's game. Not letting your players get to UFA status before being signed or traded. They're one of the hottest teams over the last month, with the sixth best goals-for total that span. I Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping mean, I won't know until we get out there and practice, but from what I understand, he's doing better. That's where a lot of his value is. Is it possible you the Lightning try to move a high-priced defenseman like Garrison to make some Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping salary cap room leading up to the draft? has a limited frame for the next level with average length and overall body strength, but Cheap NHL Jerseys stays light on his feet – better pass protector than run blocker.
Tell Sports to Cheap Jerseys China get off your back's, that way you can get back to just giving us the latest transactions and stats, instead of trying to use Cheap Jerseys Wholesale the Wholesale MLB Jerseys power of the press to put out a lousy story. The Giants bought low on last July and most recently addressed their biggest problem of 2016, closing out games, by inking the cheapest of the three ace relievers on the market, , to a four-year deal. Quarterback play is awful Cheap NHL Jerseys a few cities, he's reminded. But it seems kind of unlikely that's going to happen. He is a quick-footed lineman who shows balance and length his pass sets. , Belichick and are the holy of football and the whole league seems Cheap Jerseys Wholesale to be on a mission to kneecap wholesale jerseys their chances of winning another super bowl. Fowler returned to practice Friday and expects to suit up Jacksonville, Cameron Wolfe of The Denver Post reports.
Granlund skated 39 his second with HIFK the SM-Liiga – missing time due to a concussion. Not bad for someone who, at 14 years old, was 5 feet tall, weighed 98 pounds and never thought he had a chance at playing the big leagues.

My Fayre Ladye - Tudor Songs and Chant
Who shall have my fayre ladye
This disc dates from 1996 and was one of the first opportunities that British audiences had to appreciate the art of the American vocal ensemble, Lionheart. They constructed something of a concept album in this disc for Nimbus, one predicated on the idea of 'Images of Women in Medieval England'.
Jonathan Woolf, Musicweb-international.com
"The singing is poised throughout the disc, with an attractive, slight huskiness to Lawrence Lipnik's countertenor, but in the Browne delicacy is foresworn in favour of a more outstanding mellifluousness. Recording is clear, if a touch dry." Stephen Pettitt, BBC Music Magazine
Interspersed throughout the disc one will find movements from the Sarum Chant, the prevailing Catholic plainsong in use in England until the time of the Reformation. It serves as the disc's spinal cord in the exploration of the various types of image summoned up by Lionheart: The Beloved, The Unfathomable, The Maternal, The Desired and The Triumphant. Into each of these specific categories one will find music by composers such as William Cornysh, John Dunstable, Richard Pygott and John Browne, as well as the expected variety of anonymous texts and settings.
Lionheart is notable for the purity of its articulation and for the tonal blend it cultivates. This allows the six singers to respond equally to the Sarum Chant as to the bawdier settings. The quiet and contemplative Quam pulcra est from the chant — a text used by Dowland, by the way, in the sole contribution from him in this disc — is as persuasive as the wicked double entendres of Cornysh's Blow thi horne hunter. Those who know only this composer's more austere sacred settings will be amazed by the filth which he takes such obvious pleasure in depicting.
But it's also Cornysh who provides some of the disc's most moving utterances in Adew mes amours. In this respect, though, is the longest setting, by John Browne, that perhaps resonates the longest. O regina Mundi clara is a fourteen minute setting of considerable accomplishment, a structure of artful integrity, and the culmination of the qualities of textual fidelity and architectural probity that Lionheart displays throughout. Fittingly, only the Beata Dei genitrix follows it.
This fine disc, which includes texts and translations, has worn very well over the last decade and a half.

Alternative Dispute Resolutionwpps-support2019-03-19T05:33:50+00:00
Alternative disputes resolution comprising arbitration, mediation & negotiation or mutual conciliation is gaining popularity in Bangladesh due to several awareness initiations from different corners. Business communities are now more or less aware of ADR nowadays. The dispute resolution clauses in the agreement covering all three mechanisms are generally found in most contracts, for example, construction, commercial, joint venture agreements etc. Besides that our civil procedure code makes it mandatory for the court to try ADR before proceeding for trial. Due to long delays in resolving disputes in court, ADR is gaining popularity within Bangladesh. Our firm is witnessing increasing numbers of local arbitration & Mediation for the last few years. A separate team of lawyers is assigned for effective disposal of the matters in this area.

The firm is presently handling several arbitrations on construction and banking disputes. Besides that, we are also handling mediations, and several execution suits have been filed to execute the arbitral awards in the local court

Local Arbitration:
Arbitration is binding when it comes from a contract, where the parties agreed to resolve all the disputes through arbitration arising out of that contract. The arbitral award of an arbitration proceeding shall be final and binding upon the parties and on only some limited grounds the arbitral award can be challenged. We provide complete service as local counsel and draft statements of claim or defense, including several applications, represent clients before the tribunals. We have also conducted a number of examination-in-chief, cross-examination and placed written and oral arguments before the Tribunals. Besides that, the Chambers also assist clients in filing the relevant application before the relevant court of law for appointing arbitrators, injunction etc. The chambers have substantial experience in assisting clients in both institutional arbitration i.e. BIAC and also ad-hoc arbitration.
Mediation is a speedy, cost-effective and private form of alternative dispute resolution. It is a way of resolving disputes between the parties with the assistance of a neutral third party mediator. The role of the mediator is only to assist the parties in reaching their own decision to resolve a dispute. Meditation is also a binding process when it comes from a contract. Mr. Rahman is an accredited mediator and has extensive experience in mediation. He has been appointed as Mediator by BIAC in several mediation cases. Under the leadership of Mr. Rahman, the Chambers has successfully mediated a number of mediation cases. The Chambers has an experienced ADR team mainly composed of trained lawyers, working under the guidance of Mr. Rahman.

36 DEFOREST AVENUE, LLC v. LEONARD CREADORE.
Bishop, McLachlan and Rogers, Js.
1. The plaintiff could not prevail on its claim that there was no probable cause to sustain the lien because it was not filed within ninety days after the completion of work as required by statute (§ 49-34); there was sufficient evidence in the record to support the trial court's findings, which were not clearly erroneous, that all of the defendant's work was part of a renovation project at the premises that was ongoing at the time of K's death, that the project was not substantially complete and that the lien was filed within ninety days of the final work performed, and because the project was ongoing, the filing of the lien more than ninety days after certain of the earlier work had been performed did not compel the conclusion that the lien was untimely, nor did the fact that the final services rendered were of a different nature from those previously performed.
period before service of the lien was effectuated, and it was clear from case law that the term "owner" as used in § 49-34 (2) meant only the owner at the time of service of the certificate of lien.
The plaintiffs claim that Connecticut's mechanic's lien statutes are unconstitutional because they allow for the taking of property without due process of law was not reviewable, the claim having been inadequately presented to the trial court, which failed to address the claim in its memorandum of decision, and the plaintiff having failed to file a motion for review of the trial court's denial of its motion for an articulation, in which it had requested the trial court to address the issue.
Application for discharge or reduction of a mechanic's lien filed against certain of the plaintiffs real property, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Fairfield and tried to the court Radcliffe, J.; judgment denying the application, from which the plaintiff appealed to this court. Affirmed.
The plaintiff, 36 DeForest Avenue, LLC, appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying its application to discharge or reduce a mechanic's lien placed on its property by the defendant, Leonard Creadore. The plaintiff claims on appeal that the court improperly concluded that there was probable cause to sustain the validity of the lien because it was not (1) timely filed or (2) properly served on the prior owner of the property as required by General Statutes § 49-34.
mechanic's lien statutes are unconstitutional. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
The following facts, found by the court or not disputed, and procedural history are relevant to the appeal. The subject property, located at 36 DeForest Avenue in Bridgeport, is a commercial garage building. It previously was owned jointly by the late Steven Karantonis and his daughter. On October 2, 2004, Karantonis was diagnosed with terminal cancer and, on October 30, 2004, he died. In February, 2005, Karantonis' daughter sold the property to the plaintiff.
men had been an informal one. The defendant's mechanic's lien, which he filed on January 27, 2005, was intended to secure payment for a portion of this work. On April 1, 2005, the plaintiff filed an application to discharge or reduce the lien. A hearing on the application was held on May 2, 2005.
The defendant's lien was in the amount of $19,903.94 and related to services and materials he had provided between December 22, 2003, and November 1, 2004. In support of his claim, he submitted into evidence four invoices: an invoice dated December 22, 2003, in the amount of $1433.78, for the installation of an alarm system and wiring; an invoice dated April 15, 2004, in the amount of $9850, for the installation of an air conditioning system, furnace, water heater and duct work; an invoice dated May 3, 2004, in the amount of $8545.16, for kitchen cabinets, countertops, tile and plumbing; and an invoice dated November 1, 2004, in the amount of $75, for servicing of the water heater and heating system and winterizing of the building. The defendant indicated that the date on each invoice was the date on which he completed the work described in that invoice.
mechanic's lien, filed within ninety days of the final work performed on November 1, 2004, was timely. Accordingly, it denied the plaintiffs application to discharge the lien. This appeal followed.
Additional facts and procedural history will be provided where necessary to address the claims raised.
The plaintiff argues first that, in regard to all of the work performed prior to November 1, 2004, the defendant's lien was untimely, and, therefore, there was no probable cause to sustain its validity. It contests the court's finding that the November 1, 2004 work was part of an ongoing project, claiming that that work bore no relation to the earlier, already finished components of the project. According to the plaintiff, because "the mechanic's lien was filed on January 27, 2005, and [because] all but $75 of the claimed $19,903.94 was for work completed by May 3, 2004, the . . . § 49-34 ninety day filing deadline meant that the defendant needed to show that the . . . work [represented by the December 22, 2003, and April 15 and May 3, 2004 invoices] was not really finished as of May, and that some other work in furtherance of [the earlier work] was performed within the ninety day period leading up to the January 27, 2005 lien filing." We disagree.
636-37, 546 A.2d 310 (1988). "It is important to remember that the [lienor] does not have to establish that he will prevail, only that there is probable cause to sustain the validity of the claim. . . . The legal idea of probable cause is a bona fide belief in the existence of the facts essential under the law for the action and such as would warrant a man of ordinary caution, prudence and judgment, under the circumstances, in entertaining it. . . . Probable cause is a flexible common sense standard. It does not demand that a belief be correct or more likely true than false." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Cadle Co. v. Gabel, 69 Conn. App. 279, 286-87, 794 A.2d 1029 (2002). Thus, we must determine whether the trial court's determination that probable cause exists to sustain the defendant's claim was clearly erroneous. See id., 287.
(2006); and the oft-stated directive that those provisions "should be liberally construed in order to implement [that] remedial purpose. . . ." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Id. Finally, we note that the court's ruling rested in large part on its evaluation of testimonial evidence. "It is axiomatic that we defer to the trial court's assessment of the credibility of witnesses and the weight to afford their testimony." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) New Haven v. Tuchmann, 93 Conn. App. 787, 798, 890 A.2d 664, cert. denied, 278 Conn. 903, 896 A.2d 104 (2006).
the premises and the drawing that depicted work yet to be done; see footnote 4; provided more than adequate support for the court's finding that the renovation project at the premises was ongoing at the time of Karantonis' death, and, therefore, that finding is not clearly erroneous. See Ramondetta v. Amenta, 97 Conn. App. 151, 164, 903 A.2d 232 (2006) ("finding of fact is clearly erroneous when there i no evidence in the record to support it" [emphasis added; internal quotation marks omitted]). Because the project was ongoing, the filing of the defendant's lien more than ninety days after the performance of services in December, 2003, through May, 2004, and the fact that the final services rendered in November, 2004, were of a different nature than those previously performed, do not compel the conclusion that the lien was untimely as to the earlier services. See Peck v. Brush, 90 Conn. 651, 98 A. 561 (1916) (when project not substantially complete at time plaintiff ceased furnishing building materials on November 5, 1912, lien filed within sixty days of end date of plaintiff's provision of plumbing services between January and March, 1913, effectively secured payment for both materials and services).
Although the plaintiff did not explicitly cite the case law in its brief, it appears that the plaintiffs argument relies on case law that applies when a contractor, who essentially has completed a project and has allowed the § 49-34 (1) filing period to expire, thereafter returns to the job site and performs some de minimis task in an effort to revive the viability of a lien as to all of his work. As explained by our Supreme Court, "the general rule is that the time period for filing a certificate of mechanic's lien commences on the last date on which services were performed or materials were furnished. . . ." (Citations omitted.) F.B. Mattson Co. v. Tarte, 247 Conn. 234, 239, 719 A.2d 1158 (1998). An exception arises, however, "when work has been substantially completed and the contractor unreasonably has delayed final completion. . . ."Id. In this circumstance, "the time period for filing a certificate of mechanic's lien will be computed from the date of substantial completion. . . . Moreover, when an unreasonable period of time has elapsed since substantial completion of the work, the performance of trivial services or the furnishing of trivial materials generally will not extend the time for filing the certificate past the date of substantial completion." (Citation omitted.) Id.
substantially complete. Because that finding is supported by evidence, it is not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the exception described in F.B. Mattson Co. is not implicated.
To the extent the plaintiff contends that the services rendered by the defendant on November 1, 2004, were not lienable work under General Statutes § 49-33 because they were in the nature of maintenance, that contention is rejected. See Nickel Mine Brook Associates v. Joseph E. Sakal, P.C., 217 Conn. 361, 368, 585 A.2d 1210 (1991) (" `mechanic' is normally envisioned as a skilled worker who brings about a result by the use of tools, machines or equipment" [emphasis added]). The defendant testified as to his use of tools. Moreover, it cannot be said that the defendant's efforts to ensure that the recently installed heating system was operating properly so that the partially renovated building would not sustain damage from the impending winter was not "an essential part in the scheme of physical improvement." Thompson Peck, Inc. v Division Drywall, Inc., 241 Conn. 370, 374, 696 A.2d 326 (1997).
116-17. We conclude that the defendant met his burden, and, accordingly, the court properly refused to discharge the lien on the basis of untimeliness.
The plaintiff claims next that the defendant's lien was invalid due to improper service. Specifically, it argues that § 49-34 (2) required the defendant to serve a copy of the certificate of lien on Karantonis' daughter, in addition to the plaintiff, because she was an owner of the property at the time the defendant's services were rendered and at the time the lien was filed with the town. We are not persuaded.
The following procedural history is pertinent. The defendant lodged his certificate of lien with the town clerk of Bridgeport on January 27, 2005. At this time, Karantonis was deceased and his daughter was the sole owner of the property. On February 16, 2005, Karantonis' daughter sold the property to the plaintiff. On February 23, 2005, the defendant served on the plaintiff a copy of the certificate of lien. On March 31, 2005, the plaintiff filed its application to discharge or reduce the lien. On May 6, 2005, the court denied the plaintiffs application, concluding, inter alia, that § 49-34 "contains no provision mandating service of process upon the prior owner" of liened property.
owner. . . ." The plaintiffs claim requires us to construe the meaning of the term "owner" as used in the aforementioned statutes. Accordingly, our review is de novo. Stone-Krete Construction, Inc. v. Eder, 280 Conn. 672, 676-77, 911 A.2d 300 (2006).
"When construing a statute, [o]ur fundamental objective is to ascertain and give effect to the apparent intent of the legislature. . . . In other words, we seek to determine, in a reasoned manner, the meaning of the statutory language as applied to the facts of [the] case, including the question of whether the language actually does apply. . . . In seeking to determine that meaning, General Statutes § 1-2z directs us first to consider the text of the statute itself and its relationship to other statutes. If, after examining such text and considering such relationship, the meaning of such text is plain and unambiguous and does not yield absurd or unworkable results, extratextual evidence of the meaning of the statute shall not be considered." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Stone-Krete Construction, Inc. v. Eder, supra, 280 Conn. 677.
Our examination of the text of §§ 49-34 and 49-35 and related statutes convinces us that the plaintiffs claim is without merit. First, the plain language of §§ 49-34 and 49-35 requires service of a certificate of lien on the "owner" of liened property, not, e.g., the "prior owner," "previous owner" or "predecessor in interest." Ordinarily, we "decline to read into statutes provisions that are not clearly stated." State v Guckian, 27 Conn. App. 225, 243, 605 A.2d 874 (1992), aff'd, 226 Conn. 191, 627 A.2d 407 (1993). We note that our Supreme Court has declined to extend the definition of "owner," as used in § 49-34, beyond its commonly understood meaning. See Red Rooster Construction Co. v River Associates, Inc., 224 Conn. 563, 569-70, 620 A.2d 118 (1993) (mortgagee not "owner" of property despite holding legal title thereto).
give effect to the legislative intent"), cert. denied, 265 Conn. 907, 831 A.2d 251 (2003).
The plaintiff argues that Papa v. Greenwich Green, Inc., supra, 177 Conn. 295, established the general proposition that "`owner' within the meaning of . . . § 49-34 [always] include [s] the person owning the property as of the filing of the lien in the town clerk's office." We disagree.
In Papa, an action to foreclose a mechanic's lien, the liened property was a recently developed condominium complex. Papa v. Greenwich Green, Inc., supra, 177 Conn. 295-96. The defendants were the developer of the complex and certain purchasers of individual units. At issue was whether the purchasers of individual units, who had taken title from the developer prior to the filing of the certificate of lien, were "owners" required to be served. Our Supreme Court held that they were and, because only the developer had been served, that the trial court properly had dismissed the action as to the individual unit owners. Id., 303. Notably, Papa did not involve parties who were owners of the liened property at the time the certificate of lien was filed, but no longer were owners at the time of service. As such, the facts of this case clearly are inapposite.
serve a copy of his lien on Karantonis' daughter, which we have concluded they did not, his failure to do so would not have rendered the lien invalid as to the plaintiff. For this additional reason, the plaintiffs second claim fails.
The plaintiffs last claim is that Connecticut's mechanic's lien statutes are unconstitutional because they allow for the taking of property without due process of law. We decline to address this claim because it was inadequately presented to the trial court, and the court, therefore, did not decide it.
The following additional procedural history is relevant. In its application to discharge or reduce the defendant's mechanic's lien or to substitute a bond, the plaintiff followed the general statutory form; see General Statutes § 49-35a (b); but also included additional allegations and a request for attorney's fees. The application stated that the defendant's lien was filed without just cause but did not raise any issues relating to the constitutionality of the governing statutes. Neither party, either prior or subsequent to the hearing on the plaintiffs application, submitted a memorandum of law to the court.
described as cursory and superficial,  amounting largely to a description of the holdings in two cases he considered pertinent.
The plaintiffs counsel referred in global fashion to other decisions without identifying case names or citations. Counsel was not entirely clear in regard to whether he was making the claim pursuant to the state constitution as well as the federal constitution. The court's response to the plaintiffs argument was minimal. The plaintiffs counsel never requested the opportunity to submit a memorandum of law analyzing the constitutional claim.
challenge to a widely utilized remedial procedure. The plaintiffs constitutional claim was submitted to the trial court in a casual and incomplete manner and never was ruled on. Insofar as this appeal is interlocutory, if the plaintiff wants to pursue this claim, there remains the opportunity to do so.
 The plaintiff also has argued that the court improperly failed to award it damages pursuant to General Statutes § 49-51. That statute, under certain circumstances, authorizes a court to award damages to a party aggrieved by a lienor's improper maintenance of an invalid lien. Because the success of this claim is dependent on the plaintiff's prevailing on one of its first two claims, it necessarily fails.
 The defendant introduced as an exhibit a drawing he had prepared about three years earlier, depicting the planned renovations. Referencing the drawing, he identified several items that were never completed due to Karantonis' demise. Specifically, he testified that a rear storage platform, a side platform and two stairways shown on the drawing were not completed. He later added that he still needed to install in the kitchen a dishwasher and a microwave oven, which apparently had just been delivered around the time Karantonis fell ill.
 The court granted the plaintiffs alternative request to substitute a bond with surety for the lien. See General Statutes § 49-37.
 Pursuant to General Statutes § 49-35c (a), an order denying an application to discharge a mechanic's lien is a final judgment for purposes of appeal.
 The plaintiffs characterization of the defendant's work for Karantonis as a series of wholly independent projects, rather than one long-term renovation project, does not find support in the record. Even if the evidence were so viewed, however, it is not clear that a lien filed within ninety days of the last such project would be untimely as to the earlier performed work on the same property. See Parsons v. Keeney, 98 Conn. 745, 749, 120 A. 505 (1923) ("Where there is a lienable claim arising from distinct contracts as to the same lienable unit of land and buildings, and where these contracts are carried out in a continuous and overlapping employment, the fair and reasonable intent of the statute is to permit the builder to file a certificate of lien for the entire claim arising under all the contracts, without reference to when the work under any particular contract was begun or ended. Under such circumstances the sixty days allowed for filing the certificate would begin when the last operation was performed under the continuous overlapping employment.") Anthony Julian Railroad Construction Co. v. Mary Ellen Drive Associates, 39 Conn. App. 544, 548, 664 A.2d 1177, cert. denied, 235 Conn. 930, 667 A.2d 800 (1995); see footnote 9. Although the defendant did not bill Karantonis for any work between May 3 and November 1, 2004, he testified that during that time, he "was always up there doing stuff with [Karantonis] on the weekends." We reiterate that the applicable burden of proof was not an onerous one.
 The court in its memorandum of decision observed further that "[n]o evidence presented at the hearing suggests that [the defendant] delayed completion of the project for an unreasonable period of time in order to extend the time within which a mechanic's lien could be filed." That observation is consistent with the record.
 In describing his November 1, 2004 work, the defendant testified: "I shut down the water and the hot water heater in the building. Turned off the gas to that and winterized the building so there wouldn't be any damage because of the impending winter. . . .
 The case that the plaintiffs counsel characterized as controlling pertained to prejudgment attachments rather than mechanic's liens. Counsel did not address whether, or to what extent, that distinction could make a difference in a constitutional analysis.
 The defendant's counsel did not respond at all to the plaintiffs argument, likely because there was no prior notice that a constitutional claim would be raised.


Jim Collins worked as Houdini trusted chief assistant and mechanic from 1910 until Houdini's death in 1926. Collins was instrumental in the creation of many of Houdini most famous effects, including the Chinese Water Torture Cell.
Jim Collins is a bit of mystery. That's because he preferred to stay behind the scenes both during and after Houdini's career. But we do know he was born in the UK, possibly Portsmouth, on December 13, 1882. In 1902 he answered an ad in a London paper to become Hardeen's assistant. Houdini hired Collins on December 3, 1910 (at least this is date Collins signed his official oath of secrecy). It's speculated that Houdini needed Collins' carpentry skills in the construction of his Double Fold Defying Mystery box.
Eventually Collins replaced Franz Kukol as Houdini's chief assistant. Of his boss Collins said, "Many times, when there was no need for it as I was on regular salary, he gave me substantial presents and bonuses to show his appreciation...as far as I know no magician has ever paid an assistant what Houdini was generous enough to pay me."
According to the best sources, Collins was married twice. His first wife in England was Sarah Ann with whom he had five children; Lucy, Reginald, Nora, Sonny and Hilda. His second wife in America was a former showgirl named Maud Meyer. It's unclear if Collins was ever divorced from his first wife.
After Houdini's death, Collins went on to assist Hardeen during the 1930s and '40s. He even occasionally performed on his own. Jim Collins died in Philadelphia on March 6, 1942. He's buried in Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorn, NY.
Jim Collins was played by Evan Jones in the 2015 Houdini miniseries which inexplicably portrayed him as a bumkin from Macon, Georgia. That same year Paul Zenon gave a far more accurate portrayal in a one-man play about Collins called Linking Rings.

The advent of the internet has shone a spotlight on some of the world's wackiest and most bizarre sports. From Toronto to Leicester and beyond, people with a lot of time on their hands and extra energy to release have crafted some incredible ways to compete against like-minded individuals while vying for the number one spot. And, if you're looking to bet on one of these obscure sports, here are the top five worldwide.
Weirdest Sports
1. Bog snorkelling
Britain has a certain penchant for developing obscure sports, often prompted by two people agreeing to a bet or, as is the case with bog snorkelling, the need to attract more tourism. The headquarters of this interesting sport is Llanwrtyd Wells in Wales, known for natural, health-inducing sulfuric wells which once drew crowds of spa-seeking tourists. Unfortunately, medical advancements meant people could get the same beneficial qualities in pill form which led to a decline in tourists. Pony trekking came in as a potential substitute but it wasn't enough. Then came bog snorkelling. Entrants of the World Bog Snorkelling Championships – now in its 31st year – requires competitors to swim 120 metres through a bog without using any conventional swimming strides and relying only on the power of flippers. Certainly a spectacle to behold.
2. Quidditch
If you're a magic-loving muggle who could think of nothing better than getting on your Firebolt and chasing that elusive snitch, then Quidditch is for you. Originating, unsurprisingly, at college campuses in the United States, this mixed gender contact sport incorporates elements of rugby, dodgeball and tag. Teams of seven members consisting of three chasers – goal scorers – who score 10 points per quaffle (volleyball) thrown through a hoop. The quaffle can be passed by hands or even kicked. Also on the team is the keeper – goal keeper – two beaters who 'knock out' opposing players with bludgers (dodgeballs). Once 'knocked out', the player can only resume the game once s/he has touched their own goals. Then there's the seeker who tries to catch the snitch – a ball attached to the waistband of a neutral player dressed in yellow who runs away from everyone. And to make this insane game even crazier, everyone runs around with brooms between their legs.
3. Toe wrestling
Things get smellier at the toe wrestling championships, a game which is essentially a thumb war played with toes. Originating where most ideas originate, in a pub based in the United Kingdom, a group of friends were bemoaning the fact that the United Kingdom doesn't produce any world championships. The solution? Create a championship game and take the title. This worked for two years and then, in 1976, a Canadian wrestled his way to the top. The game took a hiatus but has returned and built up a huge following. To play, there is a full toe inspection performed by a nurse after which competitors interlock toes and try pin the other's foot to a ring. After three rounds, the winner is determined. Feet are alternated between rounds for fairness.
4. Extreme Ironing
Another of the United Kingdom's contributions to the world of obscure sports is the must-see Extreme Ironing. The sport even has a Bureau which states that this is: "…the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt."
Started by Phil Shaw in the 1997, the sport involves ironing a garment of clothing in extreme sporting environments such as rock climbing or kayaking. Shaw said the sport evolved after he returned home form a long day to a pile of ironing which he decided to complete while rock climbing as a way to combine the monotony of ironing with an exhilarating activity.
5. Cheese Rolling
Probably one of the better-known sports is cheese rolling which takes place from atop Cooper's Hill near Gloucester, England on the Spring Bank Holiday. Competitors must roll a round of the region's Double Gloucester Cheese and then go chasing after the speedy dairy product. Since 2010, the event is a much less rigid affair with spontaneous competitions happening on the day. Contestants come from all across the world to compete in this crazy sport.

Thomas Demand: L'Esprit d'Escalier
28 Feb 2007–04 Jun 2007
This exhibition presents an overview of the work of one of Germany's most innovative contemporary artists Thomas Demand. L'Esprit d'Escalier comprises 19 large-scale photographic pieces, plus a new screening device, designed by Caruso St. John Architects, London, specially for this exhibition at IMMA to show the work Rolltreppe (Escalator), 2000. Ranging from 1995 to date, the exhibition presents such familiar works as Archiv (Archive), 1995. Others have never been shown before – including Landing, 2006, Demand's photographic response to a mishap in January 2006 at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge when a visitor fell down a staircase, crashing into three 18th-century oriental vases, among the most important artifacts at the museum, smashing them into hundreds of pieces. Another new work being shown for the first time is Shed, 2006.
The intriguing title of the exhibition, L'Esprit d'Escalier, derives from the French phrase which literally means 'wit of the staircase' and refers to the regret one feels after missing an opportunity to deliver a witty comeback or parting shot.
Demand is best known for his unique approach to photography – the subjects of his large-format photographs are painstakingly constructed three-dimensional, life-size models of architecture and objects, devoid of human presence. Once they have been photographed, the models are destroyed. Demand also makes 35 mm films, setting his cinematic still images in motion.
Thomas Demand was born in Munich in 1964 and lives in Berlin. He represented Germany at the Bienal de São Paulo in 2004 and his work was the subject of a mid-career survey at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2005. He has exhibited widely and recent solo shows include the Serpentine Gallery, London, 2006, and the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2006.
The exhibition is curated by Rachael Thomas, Senior Curator: Head of Exhibitions, IMMA.
The exhibition is accompanied by a full-colour publication, produced in association with Walther König Books, and includes a new text by Dave Eggers Fictional Episodes from the Life of Thomas Demand amongst a number of newly commissioned texts by Ulrich Baer, Professor of German and Comparative Literature, New York University; Paul Oliver, author and professor; Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith, curator, critic and Professor of Modern Irish at University College Dublin, and Rachael Thomas as well as a previously published text from Girl with Curious Hair by David Foster Wallace, and an afterword by Enrique Juncosa, Director, IMMA.

If you're planning to use sustainable energy, figuring out how to determine if solar is right for you is an extremely important issue. Solar energy is the most popular and efficient form of sustainable energy available, and for many people, it represents the future of energy generation.
Even though solar power is so efficient and a large solar array can last for well over 20 years, larger installations can also be quite expensive. The cost of a single solar panel is quite small, and you only have to pay about $13 per Watt on average. This means that, if you just want to power your phone and laptop, then the limited number of solar panels you require will not cost that much. However, if you want to start generating power in the kilowatt range, then a large solar panel array will be required, and the costs will be far greater.
The average solar installation size in the US can generate up to 6 kilowatts. The cost of such an installation, after tax credits, will be somewhere between $11,300 and $14,900. If you can afford that amount, or you are able to get a loan to pay for your solar panel installation, then you should be fine powering most items in your home all year round. If you also want to power large heating installations, the price will be higher, since you'll need more than 10 kilowatts.
Despite these figures, statistics show that solar Denver panel installations are actually getting cheaper every year. Last year they were about one percent lower, so if you still don't have enough money to install your preferred solar panel array, it might make sense to wait until you can find a more advantageous quote.
Will Solar Energy Help You?
As mentioned earlier, a smaller solar panel installation is of great use when you only have a few low power items that you need to generate electricity for on a regular basis. However, a larger installation would be required to power an HVAC, a large refrigeration unit or some other large equipment you might need.
But learning how to determine if solar is right for you also means knowing if the circumstances are favorable. For example, you'll get a lot less power from the same array, if you live in an area with frequent precipitation, than if you live somewhere in Arizona or Nevada, where the sun is out in the open for much of the year.
Also, you will have to figure out whether you plan on staying in one place for a longer time, or you want to move more frequently. Solar installations are large, and would be quite difficult to move. Aside from that, they need a lot of space. So, if you do plan on moving, always make sure that your property has a larger roof that supports the installation of solar panel roofing, or a medium sized yard, which would allow you to house your entire solar array with room to spare.
Furnace repair Denver technicians can be costly and a difficult process. Also, because your furnace is essential to keeping your home warm in the winter, in some cases, it's extremely important to get it done as soon as possible. As a result, many homeowners will rush into choices that aren't necessarily the best ones when hunting for a furnace repairs service.
So let's take a closer look at the process itself, and what you need to be mindful of before considering which service to choose, how much to pay and how to deal with long term maintenance issues later on.
Before starting to look for a furnace repair service, try to troubleshoot your HVAC unit, and find out whether or not the problem is simply a matter of replacing a filter or changing a circuit breaker.
If you're versed in DIY jobs, you can also attempt to check the thermostat and see if the furnace switch or other components that may easily be replaceable are to blame. If you sense the smell of gas or the furnace isn't running at all, call your emergency repair service right away.
Although this might seem like a trivial issue, emergency furnace repair services are essential when you hire a furnace repair firm. A company based in a city several dozens of miles away that can't get to you on time for quick repairs during the winter might not be the best choice long term.
Instead, when hiring a team of repair technicians, make sure they are local experts, and can help you out on a short notice in case your HVAC decides to break down when you least expect it.
Reviews can tell you a lot about the company you're dealing with. Testimonials written by clients who have used the service in the past can paint a clearer picture about the company's dealings with regards to their professional conduct, punctuality, affordable costs and any complaints people may have had about them.
What's even better is to look for a company that shares both negative and positive review on their very own website. That will show you that you're dealing with a serious and honest contractor.
When first hiring a technician for furnace repair, it's essential that you inquire about a few basic issues even before allowing them in your home. Is it a certified and insured repair company? Are their technicians able to provide you with a thorough, written inspection upon completing their evaluation of your HVAC unit? Are they capable of providing you with friendly, relevant advice about what you should do?
While in most cases it might be good to look up a few other furnace repair services for a second opinion, you will find that to be extremely helpful in deciding on whether or not you can trust the contractor you hire for the job.
Finally, all repair firms should provide you with a viable guarantee to ensure that you can rely upon them. Don't hire contractors who can't provide you with a proper guarantee for both labor and replacement components. Also, make sure the company you work with can offer you a complete long term plan to provide discounted repairs and maintenance checks on a regular basis.
The technicians must ensure that all electrical systems are secure in the house or commercial property. An examination should be performed by a professional at specified times and is reliant on the type of residence being tested. An electrician will look for any destruction and for any new modification, which is necessary to keep the set up to present requirements.
Skilled electricians should analyze and approve electrical performance according to the American conventions in this domain. Electrical technicians will also notify their clients of any other standards that are appropriate to their own set up. Work performed by electricians must only be carried out according to the appropriate rules.
Electricians are constantly informed on the newest standards that have an effect on both household and business buildings. Various training locations are available all over the US to assist electricians when it comes to new rules for examination, documentation and other necessary specifications. Accreditations offered by the qualified electricians will come from one of the regulatory bodies, based on the electrician's choice.
Many property owners take electrical power lightly. In older structures, the wiring might have to be changed by a qualified specialist. It is simple to ignore over time that the wiring in a structure becomes obsolete and for security reason it needs to be changed. So technicians do rewiring primarily due to safety factors because old wires can cause electrical shocks and fires.
Denver electricians offer plenty of assistance with rewiring in order to make sure that the client gets the right system. Household electricians provide complete reports to explain to the owner the real condition of the electric installation on their property. That will disclose any underlying electrical issues, so technicians suggest that such check-ups have to be made at least once every ten years.
Electrical specialists should also provide fuse board improvements to further improve the protection of the systems. New fuse boards guarantee different and better electrical security to devices in comparison to the older generations. As part of upgrading to cabling new buildings, new fuse boards are generally provided to improve the protection of the respective property.
Besides those services, electrical technicians also do all cabling to new buildings, additions and conservatories. All of the electrical work executed in these places will be examined and accredited by certified electricians. Once again, this documentation will meet the specifications mentioned in the US' electrical safety conventions.
Lighting should be set up by a specialist in most situations in the house and in commercial buildings. Not only can owners improve the aesthetics and functionality of their properties with carefully assorted interior illumination, but electrical engineers can also tell them how to save money and energy with the best accessories. Furthermore, outdoor lights are great for protection, and good technicians will offer plenty of choices for this type of illumination.


Another good alternative in the second step (and with a different purpose) is the use of dermal fillers to restore lost volume and return the appearance of younger skin, fuller and with less wrinkles. An importance thing to notice is that in spite of not being a surgical procedure, involves the placement of them under the skin with very fine needles, so you should be aware that your treating doctor has the proper training and technical skills to administer these substances. Dermal fillers are non-allergenic and well tolerated by most patients, giving satisfying results.
Dermal fillers are directed to both women and men, though in men the areas to be treated are slightly different.
They are usually administered under local anesthesia or after the use of an anesthetic cream over the skin for 30 minutes. In some cases an anesthetic block is preferred (like when going to the dentist), and then the dermal filler is applied under sterile technique. After finishing, the patient rests for a while with a cold pack on the treated area. This procedure lasts from 20 to 30 minutes depending on the anesthesia, technique and extension of the treated area.
- Hyaluronic acid: These are resorbable fillers made with stabilized hyaluronic acid, obtained through a biochemical process and without animal origin, between them we can find: Restylane (Q-Med), Juvéderm (Allergan), Fortelis, Esthelis, Mesolis (Anteis), Glytone (Pierre Fabre).
- Calcium hydroxilapatite: Contained in Radiesse (BioForm Medical Inc.) composed of synthetically produced smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) micro-spheres suspended in a gel carrier. Hydroxylapatite is a natural component of human bones, and the synthetic form it's used in different biomedical applications like prosthetic implants. The form contained in dermal fillers is resorbable through time and can stimulate some degree of collagen production where was injected.
- Poly-L-lactic acid: Contained in Sculptra (Sanofi-Aventis), it's also contained in some suture materials for surgery, it's slowly reabsorbed and degraded by the body, being replaced in some degree by collagen.
- Polyacrylamide: This is a non resorbable filler contained in Aquamid (Contura Int.), consisting in a solution of water and 2,5% polyacrylamide. The effects are permanent and long lasting.
It is important to mention that every product has advantages and disadvantages and these can be discussed with the surgeons in Arcadia Clinic.
The duration of the effect is variable between patients, being from 6 months to 1 year for most, but up to 2 years with some dermal fillers.
Adverse reactions of dermal fillers are uncommon but reported time to time, being the most common local reddening and swelling that last up to a week. Less common is bruising and very rare are inflammatory reactions and skin discoloration (1 in 50.000 treatments as reported by the pharmaceutical companies).
