When a trucker is liable for a victim's injuries and damages then the victim normally looks to the trucker's parent company. Trucking companies usually have their own insurance to cover the high cost of accidents on 18 wheelers. They will send their representatives out to accident scenes and try to compensate victims right from the scene.
This practice is unfair to victims as it puts them in a position where they are being asked important questions while they are still in shock and under duress. It is best to not discuss anything with the insurance company until speaking with truck Accident lawyers.
A lawyer will say 18 Wheeler Accident lawyers have seen it all. The way that insurance companies will try and scheme their way out of paying victims. Good truck Accident lawyers will take a look at all the facts and come up with a fair settlement number. If the insurance company wants to play hardball the case will go to court but normally this does not happen.
It is possible that a trucker hit your car and then just drove off. This is commonly referred to as a, "hit and run." This can be very traumatic for the victim.
Police should be called right away and the victim should try their best to recall details and describe the vehicle that hit them. It is important that the injured party tries to see the name of the company the driver represents. If this information is not attainable perhaps look for other identifiable details. Having a description as well as the license plate number is going to make identifying the driver as well as the insurance company a little easier. Give this information to 18 Wheeler Accident lawyers so they can review the information and use it, along side police officers, to track down the responsible party. It is also good practice to have a copy of the police report for the insurance claim. Once the driver is caught he or she will be arrested. The insurance claim can then be filed.
Online consumers are as many as the common buying public. It was a common belief that the techies and youth were mostly the web surfers but those days are past. Today's web users include men and women, grandparents and professionals. For a website to be successful it has to cater to the very special needs of each and every one of these groups. You will learn how to channel your online marketing plans as effortlessly as anyone can in this article.
There is always more than one group of customers going through your website at each time and they all visit your website for various reasons. Therefore your site should be able to interest each of them and guide all of them towards the items they are searching for. These groups of different kinds of customers are known as segments in marketing terms.
Tackling the 5 basic questions that every news reporter knows: Who, What, Why, Where and How, which are simply called "the Five W's", will assist you to develop an effective internet marketing system that will reach all your customers. Take your time to answer all the five questions diligently to be able to use the limited resources effectively, and build a site that takes care of each of your customers' wants and needs.Who Are the Customers?
The first question defines the normal characteristics of the customers visiting your website and those questions will be: What are their ages? What gender do they belong to? Are they students, veterans or business professionals? This type of information is known as demographics in the marketing lingo. But if businesses are the customers then you will need to ask questions such as: Are they national or local? Are they pop & mom shops? Are they service suppliers or retail stores? We call these firmographics. This and demographics are the same, but these are for firms.
This information will be useful to make targeted messages to use in marketing promotions and make targeted information on your site.
In this question, you will attempt to know what reason the customers have to like your site. If you are marketing clothes, is your clientele fashion conscious enough to wish to have the very best? Or are they just parents who want to buy their children new school uniforms for the new semester?
This information will help you to assess what your customers want and build specific marketing campaigns for those highly profitable groups of people.Where Will They Be Coming From?
This question brings you to where your traffic comes from. Every website thrives on traffic from the search engines but that should not satisfy you. You can advertise in peoples' billing statements or even email if you bank on the current customers to visit your site. But if your customers usually visit specialty content sites, then you should certainly try to advertise on those websites. An online clothes store, for example, can put and advertisement on the fashion magazine website.
Use this information so that you can put up a program for driving traffic towards your site from all the possible sources.Why Will They End Up at Your Website?
This question refers to the exact wants and needs your customers want fulfilled when they visit your website. The questions you ask will be like: Do they need to see some product reviews in order to gather information before sales? Will they need to speak to customer care? Will they be looking to purchase goods online? Will they be prepared to purchase and need to have a look at special offers and available deals?
This information will be useful to devise the plan of your website so that you are sure every one can find what they want fast and easily.How Will They Be Using Your Website?
This question addresses how your customers will be interacting with your site to do exactly what they came to do there. They will require to search either by keywords or browse through the categories when they are searching for products. They will need to know whether they might be required to get a white paper or asked for their contact details before downloading or filling a requirements assessment form if you collect sales leads.
Use the information to build up a user friendly and intuitive interface.
You will have gathered a lot of customer information about prospective site customers by going through the process of knowledge discovery so the next step would be to group them into sets of similar customers which are called segments. This will be easier if you have performed a good job of making recordings during research on the 5 questions. You will therefore comfortably be able to weigh the results and determine the segments that will be most profitable to you and continue to work on your internet marketing by targeting these profitable segments. Further research will improve and refine your segments' specification.
Give your segments cute names, as is the custom with marketers, so that you can envision a personality for every group and remember them easily. This will help to build marketing and content building. Naming segments also helps in keeping tract of each group's performance for marketing decisions which can be based on the collected data.
This information can be put together according to each segment as per the Five Ws' answers and according to the four main types of shoppers who visit your website. With time you will find that you end up visualizing your customers instead of treating them just as numbers on your sales report.
Now you are in a position to identify your customers and their needs and requirements when they visit your website.

The incredible power of perception. It defines everything. How you see life, will determine how you live it.
If you see life through the eyes of the warrior, everything you'll see will be missions and objectives, if you see life through the eyes of an artist, you'll see art and beauty even in the darkest feelings and places.
In terms of practicality, life is a conglomeration of problems to be solved. There are easy problems and there are hard problems. With practice, you can get better and capable of resolving life's most complex and difficult problems.
Not just career-wise, but also personal wise. Like losing someone you love, this is a personal problem, and a really hard one indeed. In this type of circumstances the problem must be defined and solved by yourself, and you must find the lesson in it. Death reminds us of the truly important things in life.
Like a fire, problems and challenges work as wood. The bigger the logs, when thrown to the fire, the harder they are to begin burning, but after they start to burn, the fire becomes even mightier.
There is a core decision you need to make to ignite the fire ever stronger.
The difference between being able to use problems and challenges as fuel for your excellence or fuel for failure is your willingness to do so.
Perception determines everything. The man who willingly chooses to address every situation in his life will see opportunities and new ideas where other men are blind. Men are willfully blind or capable.
If you choose to face life head on, you will discover that it is not so much "facing life" but rather "working" with life. Fate leads the willing and drags the unwilling.
Want to further your knowledge? Complement your reading with Miserably happy.
Help the world become a stoic world. Thanks for the support!

"The capitol should be near and . . . in view of the river. A State House, built with taste and elegance . . . would command the admiration and respect of the passing stranger, and have a moral and political influence on the whole community."
– Territorial Governor John Pope, 1842 –
1833: A Grand State House for Arkansas
Anticipating Arkansas's impending statehood, Territorial Governor John Pope ordered construction to begin on a new capitol in 1833. Pope, a Kentucky native, commissioned Kentucky State Capitol architect Gideon Shryock to design Arkansas's elegant new State House. Construction efforts proceeded slowly; when Arkansas became a state in 1836, the building was still incomplete, forcing legislators to move into their chambers while work continued around them. Completed in 1842, Shryock's design featured the Greek Revival style of architecture. This design movement dominated American building styles during the first half of the 19th century and proved especially popular for government buildings, since its Greek temple-like appearance suggested the democratic ideals of freedom and justice.
Shryock's plans, initially quite grand and impressive, ultimately proved too expensive for the growing territory's treasury to accommodate. Pope, along with Shryock's representative in Little Rock, George Weigart, altered the building's design to save money. They replaced expensive construction materials with more economical ones and eliminated some elaborate design elements. The roof was made with tin instead of copper, and bricks made on the premises and covered with plaster were used instead of limestone for the exterior.
The original building, designed with matching facades on both the north and south facades, had three separate sections. The executive branch was housed in the West wing, the legislative branch in the central section, and the judicial branch in the East wing. Workers later added covered walkways to shield government officials as they moved between the three sections.

1885 to 1911: Changing Times, Changing Needs
Although the building received superficial repairs throughout its history, bigger changes were necessary to accommodate the needs of a growing state government. The first major renovation occurred in 1885, when the need for repairs could no longer be ignored and government officials worried about the structural integrity of the building. For the first time, officials called in an architectural team to correct some of the original engineering problems. Architects adapted the building's appearance to reflect recent innovations in American industry and culture. They chose the Victorian architectural style, with its emphasis on ornamentation and mass-produced, machine-made parts, to convey this message.
Workers removed the columns and porch on the river side and extended the building sixty feet to the north. Other improvements included enclosing the connecting walkways and adding a second floor to them; incorporating ironwork balustrades to the second floor exterior balconies on the Markham Street side; and inside, replacing the straight staircases with grand, curving ones. Since such sweeping stairs called for removing the windows from the landings, a skylight was installed in the central corridor to provide adequate light. A skylight was also added to the newly-enlarged House of Representatives.
Despite the improvements made during the 1885 renovation, the structure still required constant maintenance. Funds for repair work remained in short supply. State government continued to outgrow the building's capabilities, but the expenses required for additional renovation prompted state officials to consider constructing a new state capitol. Work soon began on the new capital, and by 1911, all state government offices had been moved out of the State House.

1911 to 1949: Save the Building or Sell the Land
Several women's organizations began calling for preservation of Arkansas's first State House as early as 1901, when it became apparent that state government planned to relocate. Numerous tenants occupied the State House after 1911, including the University of Arkansas Medical School, the Works Progress Administration, and patriotic organizations like the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs and the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Deterioration continued while Arkansans argued about how and why it should be saved. At one point, developers nearly succeeded in tearing down the structure to make way for a downtown-area parking lot. With the building's future still uncertain, the state did little to correct any structural problems; one exception to this was the replacement of the original tin roof with an aluminum one. The combined efforts of many Arkansas women's organizations and the Arkansas State Legislature helped save the building and make it a museum of Arkansas history in 1947.

1949-1996: A New Direction
In 1949, architect Bruce Anderson led the effort to restore the building to its 1885 appearance while causing the least amount of structural damage. This was the first major act of preservation undertaken on the building. Workers removed all the interior plaster and stripped all the woodwork. Windows added after 1885 were bricked in and stuccoed over. The structure officially became a museum of Arkansas history in 1951.
Signs of age were beginning to show by 1996. Frontier-era building techniques were no match for the combination of time and daily usage. The mud-mortar and stone foundation proved insufficient to support such a large masonry structure, and cracks began appearing in the walls. Engineering studies recommended replacing the foundation in order to stabilize the
building. After the foundation was finished, a concentrated effort was made to use historically accurate paint and decorative techniques during the remaining renovation work.
The Old State House Today: Its Third Century
Following the three-year restoration project begun in 1996, the museum reopened to the public in June 1999. The Old State House Museum interprets Arkansas history from statehood to the present. This impressive Greek Revival structure achieved National Historic Landmark status in 1997 and today serves as one of the most tangible reminders of Arkansas history.

As Talyn struggles to recover from his injuries, Moya's crew bargains with a paranoid planet to get the medicine he needs, Crichton deals with being beside himself, and Crais brings Aeryn some more good news.
Chiana: "I tried... I tried not to start any trouble."
:"Well, you're not in any trouble."
Crichton:"Who did you piss off this time?"
Crais:"Talyn and I were not the aggressors."
Crichton:"Of course not. You never are. So who is it? The Plakavoids? The Skekses? The Big Bad Wolf?"
Crais:"The Peacekeepers. They want Talyn back."
Crais:"You don't believe me, Crichton."
Crichton:"Only because I know you."
Crichton: "Work. Now. Freak. Later."
Well, it was weeks worth of suffering, but man was it worth the wait! Farscape has occasionally taunted us with a fantastic set-up, and a disappointing follow-through, but not this time, man; if not the massive mind-frell of last episode, this is still a solid, fascinating hour. John is beside himself, Crais is up to something, and Aeryn's past is coming back to haunt her again. Who could ask for anything more?
Heck, the mind-blowingly gorgeous opening shot alone was worth the price of admission -- the FX crew gets mondo brownie points for their work this week, as does the Creature Shop (this little lie detector beasties were far too much fun, if slightly cheesy and entirely icky). And both this week and last week have been outstanding freshman efforts from the new writers and directors -- DK is hiring good people!
Watching John fight with himself is just... odd. Ben does double-duty and does it so well I forgot to watch intently and try to figure out how and when they were doing the mirroring. There were simply two Johns, and we moved on from there. And how! This looks like it's going to get drawn out for a while, and I'm impressed as hell at the writing staff for going there. Doesn't look like Ben got to leave the set like, ever, while they were filming, but it was obviously worth it. When he went into the infirmary to donate blood to himself, and when he gleefully used the doubling effect to screw with the Lobsters of Truth -- those were truly awesome moments. I cannot *wait* to see where they take this.
The one I actually feel the most sorry for is Aeryn -- not enough that she's had John to deal with for the last two arns. Now she's got *two* of them, driving each other crazy and trying to take her with them! She's coping remarkably well, because that's what Aeryn does -- but now Crais has to stick his nose in and add further mind-frelling to the equation. Dealing with her mother is going to tear her loyalties in the worst possible way -- that one memory, that declaration that she was special, is something she's clung to her entire life. It shaped what she was, and what she became. Caught between her mother on one hand, and Talyn, her 'godchild', on the other, is not going to be fun. Separated from himself, John might be able to help, but it's still gonna get ugly.
I could not stop giggling for the entire opening fight scene, with D'Argo riding in to defend Chiana's honor (?). His disgusted "Every frelling planet!" spoke volumes -- just an absolutely priceless bit. The byplay between these two has, happily, survived the Breakup From Hell; it's just functioning on entirely different levels now. Even Stark is reasonably tolerable this week, even when he's nuts -- largely because, whenever he gets too insane/annoying, someone slaps him down. Yay!
Thank God, Jool finally has a purpose! She's no Zhaan, but that's okay -- we had a Zhaan. Watching Jool fumble her way into usefulness -- into the practical when she's only ever had the theory -- is fun to watch, not to mention being Good For Her. She's never going to be much use in a fight, I think, and god knows she's a spoiled brat, but in her own sphere of expertise, she's obviously proving to be competent. I repeat, thank God. And Rygel has regained his purpose by being Bargaining Boy again, even if that is the only thing he has to do.
And Our Merry Crew runs into yet another dysfunctional royal family. This one isn't short on brains or balls -- in fact, they could do with a lot less of both. Tolven is arrogant enough to swing on a Luxan, and fire on a strange ship, but he's also smooth enough to have gotten away with this sort of behavior for quite some time, and I certainly prefer his relatively straight-forward approach to his sister's noir chick 'stab 'em in the back while they're protecting you' schtick. :P Bet Sarova shows up somewhere down the line, and so not in a good way. Great turns from the guest stars.
Overall, this arc, and this season, are promising as hell. We saw so little of Xhalax Sun, but the casting looked excellent, and she's sure to be an incredible character. This new turn on the Peacekeepers, the ongoing saga of the two Crichtons, whatever the hell Crais is running behind the scenes... The plot lines are tangling like taffy, and the fun is just beginning.
Talyn and his makeshift crew -- Crais, Aeryn and John -- are swallowed by an intergalactic whale, forcing them to work together despite spiraling tensions to escape intact.
Aeryn: "Talyn, you've seen them both naked. Perhaps you can tell us who's bigger."
Crichton: "Whose stupid idea was this anyway?"
Crichton: "People keep saying you've changed. I think... the weather changes. And we just keep making the same mistakes."
Rygel: "Oh good, they're alive. Now you can torture them with your insane dribblings."
Stark: "They're going to say yes."
Rygel: "No, Sebaceans are ugly, not stupid."
Rygel: "Mother always said I'd die from incompetance. Now I finally know what she meant!"
Aeryn: "Talyn just spaced John."
Kiki is currently a little distracted by trying to explaining to Stark which parts of the station he's allowed to roam on. The debate has devolved to "My side, your side" -- this could take a while.
A lovely, claustrophobic episode -- Ben does a great job of shoving three people (four if you count Talyn) in to an enclosed space and dialing up the stress levels to watch everyone wig. The details of the episode -- Talyn's 'pranks dialing up to the murder attempt; the moment-by-moment attempts to anchor the ship and later set the explosion; the constant increase in the level of subtext between Aeryn and Crais -- are impressive as hell, and get more so on repeated viewings. Ben's got a pretty good touch with the characters, and with plot, and Tony's direction just wraps everything up nice and tight. But wow, can you tell Ben is Shakespearean-trained -- this entire episode screams The Bard Wrote Me. Which isn't bad, just... odd at times.
Poor Talyn -- dealing with Daddy, Mommy and Mommy's New Boyfriend. < sigh > I'd be more pissed at him if he wasn't a) about 6 and b) so completely frelled in socialization, which happens when Bialar Crais is your moral compass. I'd love to know how much of his little harassment tactics were his own and which were at Crais' instigation -- that 'home video' of Aeryn and Crais was pretty damn sophisticated for a kid, even a genegineered warship.
And can Crais manipulate with the best of them or what?!? Convincing Auntie Aeryn how good she is with the kid so she'll feel compelled to stay [and why he's so hot on that I have no idea -- it's either the obvious (Aeryn being a babe) or the secret I think he's still keeping]. Given his physical condition, talking Aeryn into the Hand of Friendship was quite the trick in and of itself. Knowing our boy Bialar, I totally believe he at least encouraged all of Talyn's efforts against John, if he didn't actively instigate them. I love, love, love Lani Tupu -- he plays Crais with so many layers that it's impossible to tell when he's sincere, and when he's just frelling with your mind. He seems to be genuinely attached to Talyn, but how much of that is affection and how much is expediency is still up for debate. He was awfully quick to write John off, and quite happy to set off that explosion with John still outside.
Not that Ben and Tony weren't doing their own little mind frell, with the whispered "Meet me in my quarters" meetings and conspiracies going on behind John's back (and people rearranging clothing as he comes into the room). Not to mention said 'home video', leading to about 30 minutes worth of 'did-she, didn't-she'ing from the audience. Aeryn keeps getting trapped between her loyalties -- to John, to Talyn, to her past -- and there just never seems to be a good way out for her. She's got a hell of a juggling act going, and Crais did a brilliant job of slipping between the balls for a while there. As I said, she and John need to have a serious talk, but as long as there's two of him, neither terribly stable, she's going to continue to have the fun job of being The Sane One, which just isn't going to leave much room for relationship crap. And giving up Talyn, after she wanted so long to be able to take care of him, was a major choice for her -- and not one I entirely agree with. For John and Aeryn, absolutely right. For Talyn... Well. But at least she's not under any illusions about Crais' trustworthiness anymore.


Living Trusts have the advantage of making funds and assets available more quickly than Wills. The assets included in the trust could be distributed upon your death or if you become disabled. Living Trusts do not have to go through the standard probate process, so funds can be distributed to cover your death expenses or to care for minors or disabled family members.
You have assets you want to be distributed quickly upon your death or incapacitation.
You have assets you want dispersed privately.
You want to appoint a person or professional executor to manage the assets held in the trust.
Note: This Trust template is not appropriate for individuals whose estate exceeds the federal estate tax applicable exclusion limit. But this form is suitable for most with an average net worth.
Living Trusts are rather simple. Essentially assets are put into a "trust" and you designate a person (trustee) to manage those assets. The trustee could be you while you are alive or another appointed person. You can even designate a paid professional executor to manage the trust. Those who are designated to benefit from the trust are called beneficiaries.
Living Trusts avoid the probate proceedings and fees associated with Wills. In some states, the probate proceedings associated with the distribution of assets as outlined in a standard Will could take months. A Living Trust is a way for you to set aside funds for quicker distribution for caring for your minor children, disabled family members, or pets. Assets can also be designated to support you if you become incapacitated and cannot manage your finances yourself.
In most cases, Wills become public record once probate begins. Anyone can request copies of your Will easily. If you have certain assets you want to distribute privately, you can use a Living Trust to manage the distribution of assets. If you appoint a professional executor, even your family wouldn't have to know about the Trust or beneficiaries.
Revocable Living Trusts are most commonly used. Revocable Trusts are easy to change. Irrevocable Trusts cannot be changed after they are signed. Most often Revocable Trusts turn into Irrevocable Trusts after the trust maker dies. Irrevocable Trusts are frequently only used by those wealthy enough to fund the trust without possibly needing the assets later. The advantage to Irrevocable Trusts is that the assets in the trust are no longer considered part of your personal assets, so the funds are protected.
Yes. A Living Trust is just one part of your estate planning. Wills often are used to designate how assets, that are not included in the trust, are to be distributed. Sometimes people don't move all their assets to the trust or obtain properties after the trust is created so they need a way to dictate how those assets are to be disbursed. You can even dictate in your Will that whatever is not included in the Trust to be distributed to a single person. If you do not have a Will alongside your Trust, assets not included in the Trust will be distributed according to state laws. Unlike a Living Trust, the Will must go through probate.
Some people choose to make a Pour-Over Will. This type of Will dictates that assets are to be moved into a trust after your death. Unlike Living Trusts, Pour-Over Wills still need to go through probate.
Your information: Name, city, state and the date the documents will be signed.
Possible beneficiaries: Spouse, children's names, non-family members or organizations who may be beneficiaries. You can also make provisions for future children and pets. The form also allows you to designate a pet caregiver.
Trustee: Who will be responsible for managing the trust. You'll also want to list a co-trustee or a replacement trustee in case something happens to the original trustee. You also have the option of appointing a professional such as your lawyer or accountant. Also, whether the trustees will be bonded.
List of assets: The assets, the value of the assets, and a description of the assets. You can add as many assets as you need to the document. You can also say whether trustees will be sending you payments if you become incapacitated.
Distribution: How you want the Trust assets to be distributed. Will you need to set aside monies to pay the trustee? Are the beneficiaries allowed to take loans from the trust?
Tangible assets: You can dictate how tangible assets may be distributed such as vehicles, jewelry or household items.
Other items to consider: Will the trustee need to provide regular reports? Are trustees allowed to invest funds? Are trustees released from liability if they make a bad investment in good faith? How do you want funds distributed if a beneficiary is no longer able to receive funds? Do you have beneficiaries already assigned to certain assets such as your life insurance?
If you have any questions about what's right for your estate plan, we can connect you with a lawyer for quick answers or a document review. If you'd like to read more about Living Trusts and other estate planning essentials, check out our Estate Planning Guide.

Marston's is a British brewery and pub operator. It operates over 1,700 pubs in the UK, and is the world's largest brewer of cask ale. 90 per cent of profits come from the pubs division. It was known as Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries plc until 2007 when it rebranded as Marston's.
It owns five breweries and brands including Marston's, Banks's, Jennings, Ringwood and Wychwood. Its priority products are Marston's Pedigree and Wychwood Hobgoblin.
In 1834 John Marston established J. Marston & Son at the Horninglow Brewery at Burton upon Trent. By 1861 the brewery produced 3,000 barrels a year. In 1890 Marston & Son Ltd was registered as a limited liability company. In 1898 Marston's amalgamated with John Thompson & Son Ltd and moved to Albion Brewery on Shobnall Road, which the company still operates. By this time the brewery had a capacity of 100,000 barrels a year. It was at this time that the Burton Union system began to be used.

Winter has arrived and it has finally given you that opportunity to revive yourself from the daily grinds of life by taking a winter trip in your favourite car to your dream destination.
But, two main questions remain to be answered before you embark on your adventure.
a. Is your car ready for your winter trip?
b. Have you got the pointers for safe driving in those wintry conditions?
If your answer to any of the above questions is a resounding NO, then it can prove to be hazardous for your as well as your passengers' safety.
Who doesn't like to drive in those wintry conditions to get that adrenaline fix. But, right from getting the proper 4×4 tyres or winter tyres from one of your nearby tyre dealers to getting various components of your car checked, it is essential to get your basic checklist in place beforehand so that you do not rue the lost chance later on.
You also want to drive safe and smooth so that you reach your destination with ease and can enjoy your dream break that you have planned for so meticulously.
This infographic, will help you with the basic checklists for both the questions raised above. Once you are through with this, you can be rest assured of your readiness for your winter driving.


We leave our cozy bungalow to hit the road which is a little worse than the day before. It's rocky and bumpy, but with none of the "bull dust" that we had experienced on other dirt roads. We don't have far to go so we take it slow, stopping often for brakes and the many photo opportunities that are everywhere.
We come to a river crossing in the village of Tha Bak, famous for it's "bomb boats". Although they look like they're made from empty bomb casings, they're actually empty fuel tanks dropped by the many bombers that flew missions over Lao during the Vietnam War.
We arrive at the town of Khoun Kham, the jumping off point for the 7 Km long Konglor Cave. We find a guesthouse and get settled in. The owners are extremely hospitable and their young daughter, while shy, quickly takes a liking to us. Later on while we're hanging out in our room, we hear a knock on the door. I open it to find no one there, but at closer inspection, I see the shy girl hiding behind the door of the room across the hall. It seems she wants to come in but is afraid to ask, so I invite her in. She quickly becomes enamoured with our computer, and we show her some of the pictures from our trip through Lao. She points at various things on the screen and says the Lao word for them while we tell her what they are in English. Not surprisingly she catches on much easier than we do. Sometimes kids can make me feel quite stupid.
We give her some notebooks and pencils to share with her sister and she draws a picture of Natasha. It's a mystery how she knew that back at home Natasha wears triangle dresses with hearts on them and puts her hair in a side ponytail.
Later that night, I'm sitting outside with the owners, having a Beer Lao, and sharing some of the sticky rice that they've so generously offered. I ask him about the cave we plan on exploring the next day, and try to find out if he's got any friends or family that are guides. You see, pretty much everywhere that we've been in SE Asia, if there's an activity or attraction, everyone has a friend, or a cousin, or something that is willing to offer their services for a fee. Usually whoever sends tourists their way gets a commission or at least the pleasure of helping out a friend. The owner seems confused by my question and I try to explain that I like him and his family, and if I'm going to give my money to someone, I'd like it to be someone he knows. He still doesn't quite understand so he calls over a friend who speaks better English. I explain my intentions to him and he tells me that's not how they do things here. He tells me that the village has set up a committee to administer the cave. The guides are all put in a queue so everyone gets a fair turn to take tourists through. The guide keeps part of the fee and the rest goes back to village. This is one of the most refreshing things I've heard in months. The people of SE Asia are poor by almost any standards, and you can't blame them for jumping at any chance to get ahold of your tourist dollars. But it's nice to see a village come together to protect the natural wonder they've been blessed with, while still reaping the benefits, without the whole thing turning into a tout circus.


Preparing a successful design involves the application of scientific skills and technical expertise to achieve owner requirements while adhering to professional standards. Developing a completed design in a perfect manner is difficult, if not impossible. Accordingly, it is common for construction projects to experience, at some level, corrective changes to the work resulting from professional design deficiencies. These corrective changes can involve work which result in damages being incurred by various stakeholders, for which recovery is oftentimes sought from the design professional. The liability for such claims are generally aimed against the designer on the basis that it failed to satisfy its contractual obligation to provide a design meeting the necessary functional and operational expectations while complying with the requisite professional standards. A common question in this regard is how an appropriate assessment for the corrective actions or work gets calculated.
This presentation by our expert speaker, Peter Vosbikian, who has over 20 years of experience in construction, civil engineering, and construction program management, will provide valuable insights on the pricing and apportioning of costs associated with design defects, contract provisions addressing the pricing of design defects, and demonstrate, by example, how to calculate an assessment against an A/E.
Whether you've experienced a damage resulting from a change, or involved in a claim due to design changes, this session will provide you needed knowledge on how to quantify damages associated with a design deficiency. It will also provide valuable insights on how contract language can manage risk associated with design deficiencies.
This webinar is a must attend for owners, general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, architects / engineers, consultants and attorneys.


This route is on the far left side of the Brownstone Wall and the approach takes about 2 hours. The route is in the sun most of the day so can be quite warm, although the 3rd and 4th pitch are in a recessed chimney and are shady except in the early morning.
We had some difficulty locating the start of this route. If you head up slabs which lead to the center of the Brownstone Wall, you will have to traverse left quite a ways to get to the route, even going down a bit. You are nearly back to the creek bed when you reach the base. The white overhang in Swain's topo on pitch 1 was not obvious to us. The best way to find the route is to locate the the overhang on the second pitch and the crack system above it.
P1: Climb a crack us through some soft rock to a block that is below a white roof (5.6, 120'). P2: Traverse left, then up to a crack at the far left side of the roof. Sock in some good gear (on long slings), then head up and back right on varnished plates to the crack which forms the right side of the roof (now below you). Continue up this crack to a belay ledge (5.7+, 140'). Swain calls this pitch PG but the runouts did did not seem bad to me. There is a runout above the roof but it is not as bad as that on the next pitch.
P3: Here is where you look up and say "Oh yeah, Swain did say to bring 'large gear' for this pitch ...". Above you is a fantastic black corner, but the back necks down into a fairly fat crack. I don't exactly recall the width of the crack, I just recall we didn't have anything big enough to fit in it (I'd guess it's 5-6 inches). You need a #5 Camalot or #3 Big Bro, and the crack might be too flared to fit the Big Bro (I don't think a #4 Camalot fits either). Stem and face climb up the corner, with or without pro, until you reach the base of a chimney (5.7, 130'). If you don't have any 5-6 inch gear, you will have to run it out at least 20', this is the S section. If you take big gear you may be able to walk it up and remove the S rating, please add comments below on this.
P4: Wander up into the darkness of a deep slot, exit left through a wild hole onto a huge ledge which faces south and (if it is late enough) into full sunshine (5.2, 100'). Two more pitches go more or less straight up from here, on softer rock. Great views of the Rainbow Wall to your south.
Descent: Head south into the Gunsight Gully and scramble back down to the start of the route. Pretty quick and easy descent.
Standard rack to #3 Camalot with maybe a 5-6" piece (see description). Make sure you have some longer slings for the wandering pitches. Only one rope is needed.
I believe this is Black Dagger.
Brett on Black Dagger. 11/24/15.
I don't think the runout on the 3rd pitch was all that bad - the climbing is fairly secure. But then I wasn't leading that one!
the swain guide said this route got sun all day in the spring and summer. as of 3/6/06, it went out of the sun around 11:30 or 12:00. the descent was very wet, so bring a rope you dont need the next day in early season, etc.
the ramp/chimney is not 4th class, per swain guide. i remember thinking it was more like 5.4 R, as if you fell out of the exit you'd fall a ways and then tumble on the ramp. however, i didnt look too hard for pro so maybe it sews up.
there are two bolts, slings, and rings midway up the second pitch if you decide to bail. didnt see any bail gear above that, although there was a new looking 7mm cord wrapped around the huge block on the ledge left of the p2 belay.
the rock quality of the roof you traverse left of (before pulling around and going back right) on p2 is not my favorite. i thought this section here was the spiciest part of the route, not the beautiful varnished dihedral up a couple pitches.
The third pitch is seriously one of the most amazing pitches I have done at Red Rock. A beautiful slick, varnished right facing corner soars above you in a very vertical fashion! I didn't think the pitch was too run out, maybe a section where I was 20-25 feet above my last piece. Slightly worrying because the rock is so slippery, but the climbing was good and I hardly noticed it.
We tried to pull the crack on the right side of the roof for pitch 2 directly. I couldn't manage it with my pack on, but it felt like it would go if I was packless at about low 10s. Instead we placed a piece in this crack and traversed right a short distance, moving up a thin face back to the crack. I'd say it goes at about 5.9ish, and you definitely avoid any rope drag problems with wandering way out left.
The descent is straightforward and Gunsight Notch is a wonderful little area to explore. The only thing that sucked was hacking our way through the scrub oak trying to get back to the Rainbow Wall trail.
I thought this was a classic route for two reasons: first because the third pitch corner is such a prominent feature, visible from across the canyon, and second because it was put up in a traditional style without any bolts.
Personally, I thought the runout section was on the second pitch right off the belay when you have to make delicate moves on marginal gear. I took a standard rack with double 1 and 2 BD's, plus a 4. There was never any time on the corner pitch where I had to run out my gear more than 15 feet, I do think though that the 3rd pitch is pretty stout at 5.8 compared to other Red Rock 5.8's like Frogland.
A really amazing climb- the more i think about it, the more i'm convinced that its the best 5.8 in the park.....spectacular everything- climbing, rock, and position, with a breathtaking summit!
You dont really need anything bigger than a #4 for the 3rd pitch- anyplace you could put something that big, the climb is either very easy until the end of it, or there is smaller pro readily available. I think my max run-out on the pitch was about 15' or so, and I dont think you could have put a big cam in that slot- looked too flaring.
We took a mostly single rack up the route...i think we had doubles in yellow and red aliens but never used them. That said, I'd double up on purple/green camalot sizes if anything.
Oh, that 2nd pitch is spooky- the 5.7 off left is just weird enough to keep you on your toes, and the .10a version above looks friable with little pro.
Damn!! My favorite ride for the grade so far in Red Rock land. The amazing views of Rainbow Wall from Brownstone Wall, and the fun Gunsight Notch descent tickled me even more! You won't be disappointed!
1) the chimney/tunnel section can be exited up and right with quality 5.9 liebacking on perfect varnish, instead of the 5.2 left exit. Recommended for extra fun.
Nice. The word for pitch 2 is "finesse." In hindsight, it has better pro and better holds than I would have guessed from below - hats off to Herbst and Wheeler. Pitch 3, the stemming pitch, was more sustained than I was expecting, which I also enjoyed.
The only fly in the ointment was that I wasn't expecting those convenience belay-bolts. I was frankly a bit disappointed to see them on such a grand old route (kind of like the bolts on Ginger Cracks). What's more, the first pair of bolts puts you too high under the roof, and makes your first piece of gear on p2 much more likely to pop. Better/safer/less rope drag to stop lower and build your own anchor. The second pair of bolts comes much too soon after the traverse, and your partners will thank you for not stopping there. You should carry on to the ledge above the bottleneck and below the stemming.
Brought a #6 Camalot C4 for the 3rd pitch. Took the bite off of the wide section.
Also, we skipped the slabs and hiked up the trail along the base of the Rainbow Wall. You only have to traverse in around 50 yds off of this trail to get to the base. It took us 1hr15m from Oak Creek to the base at a comfortable pace.
This climb is quite good. The moves and rock quality on P3 are worth 5 stars!
On P2, I used a bomber #4 cam placement beside where the roof connects to the wall which totally mitigated the freak factor of pulling onto that roof from the main wall on the left with thin pro. When you get to that position, the loose white flake wedged in there looks like your only option for pro, but look just slightly above and in back of it for the solid crack.
We hiked up through the slabs and out through the gully. I wish i had snips for the vegetated descent and gully trail.
Belayed well below the bolts at the roof making the first pitch about 100' and pitch 2 almost 200'. Should have used double rope technique. Had considerable rope drag even with long slings for the roof and extending every placement.
Linked the beautiful corner and the chimney making another full length pitch. Had a 4 and felt secure through the runout.
Two more easy rope stretchers got us on top. The summit and descent were awesome!
Excellent route. In my opinion, a #4 and #5 cams are mandatory. We placed them on several pitches and would have easily used a #6 on pitch 3. Speaking of P3, we thought it was technical and sustained for the grade. Definitely felt harder than other RR 5.8s.
There is about 10 feet of 5.9 climbing on the 3rd pitch, which I wasn't expecting. The dihedral pinches down and the rock becomes quite slick. I used some face holds to avoid the corner, but I still thought the climbing was Red Rocks 5.9.
did this yesterday and it's a rly quality climb!
1) there are bolt anchors for the first pitch, and in the middle of the second pitch if you need to rappel. didn't see any other easy to bail points.
This route is in a spectacular setting and the long-ish approach and gunsight notch descent make for good adventure... but IMO the climbing itself isn't that great or remotely on par with other area 5.7/5.8 classics (Frogland, Olive Oil, Dark Shadows, etc.).

The international motor vehicle manufacturers are an important part of the German economy. As a distribution location, Germany is of great importance for them and their German sales subsidiaries.
Well over one million passenger cars and actual over 90,000 commercial vehicles from VDIK member companies are newly registered in Germany each year. In the passenger car market, the 33 makes of the VDIK members represent almost one hundred percent of all newly registered foreign passenger cars in Germany, and around three quarters of all registrations of commercial vehicle imports. They reached a market share of nearly 36 percent new passenger car registrations and about 27 percent new registrations in the commercial vehicle market.
The international manufacturers have 13,672 dealerships in Germany, and employ more than 100,000 people between these dealerships, servicestations and the German sales subsidiaries. They are an important employer for Germany.
For years, the member companies have invested into their infrastructure and established European logistics, training and development centers as well as their European headquarters in Germany. Example include the European headquarters of Hyundai and Kia in the Rhine-Main region, Honda's European training center in Erlensee, the logistics center of the PSA Group in Rieste, as well as a number of subsidiaries of passenger cars and commercial vehicles brands.
Moreover, the parent companies of the VDIK members are major customers of German automotive suppliers; a large percentage of the parts and systems used in vehicle production come from suppliers producing in Germany.


You're now staring at a straight in shot on your last stripe with seemingly no way to get down table for the eight ball shot. Who hasn't been in this situation? Well, this post is intended to give you one more tool to add to your arsenal that comes in handy in many situations, but especially on these straight in shots.
In order to perform Hockey Draw, you'll obviously need the ability to draw well and that requires a good stroke. So work on those fundamentals if you find this shot difficult to execute. Also keep in mind that the distance from the rail is important. It can be done from close or far as long as the cue and object balls are relatively close to each other, but it requires more stroke from further out and more magic when really close, so you'll want to practice at varying distances to figure out what you're comfortable with and expand from there. The #DrawShot pictured above is kind of a sweet spot, so that's a good place to start.
That's awesome tip bro. Thank you for sharing and I will practice this one. Your awesome!
Take care and see you around. Peace!

No. 17 Mississippi State, Drake clash in Bulldogs battle
With its last non-conference game before the holiday break, No. 17 Mississippi State knows its performance must pick up if the Bulldogs are to maintain their current pace.
Coach Chris Jans' Bulldogs — one of just five undefeated teams in the country — will face Drake, also the Bulldogs, on Tuesday as part of the three-game Battle in the Vault in Lincoln, Neb.
Mississippi State (11-0) can't get caught up in its own news and look past Drake (8-3).
In Saturday's 68-66 victory over visiting Nicholls, the Bulldogs rallied from an incredibly poor-shooting first half, led by double digits in the second and nearly saw the Colonels pull off a shocking upset.
Jans said his squad might have been reading about itself too much, basking in being one of the nation's few unbeaten schools and third in scoring defense.
"I'm not with them 24/7, and I don't know if they are reading the headlines and feeling themselves," Jans said. "But we've talked about it, we've addressed it."
While the Southland Conference champion Colonels didn't light up the scoreboard, the home side could find very little to go in.
Mississippi State was errant on 12 of its first 15 shots and made just 7 of 26 in the half. It also clanked all eight of its shots from distance yet trailed by only three points at the intermission.
Mississippi State led by 12 with 12:26 left in the second half, but even when they appeared to have the game in hand, Nicholls stole an inbounds pass and missed a 3-pointer as time expired.
"It wasn't pretty," guard Dashawn Davis said. "It was definitely ugly. We definitely could've done better, but an ugly win is better than a loss any day."
Jans said his team got away from playing its style of defensive-minded ball.
"We have to play the way we have to play to be really good," the first-year Bulldogs coach said. "If we don't play that style and don't rely on our defense and don't turn people over and are not locked in each and every time, we're not going to be very good."
Tolu Smith was very good against Nicholls. He finished with 15 points — 12 in the final 20 minutes — and eight rebounds as the offense went through the 6-foot-11 senior from Bay Saint Louis, Miss.
Drake has lost two straight and is 1-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference, but the Bulldogs from Des Moines, Iowa, started the season by winning six straight and eight of their first nine.
Fifth-year coach Darian DeVries' club grabbed a nine-point lead with 9:12 to go at Saint Louis on Saturday but lost it, falling 83-75. However, he was encouraged by the play.
"That was some of the best basketball we've played all year," DeVries said. "I loved our movement with 16 assists. We did plenty of good things to put us in a position to win. We have to find ways to close these games out, but we can take a lot of positives out of tonight."
Tucker DeVries, a 6-foot-7 forward, scored 15 points and is leading Drake with 18.8 points per game. He is shooting 36.1 percent from long range and averaging 5.5 rebounds.
Roman Penn is second in scoring (10.4) while Darnell Brodie tops the team in rebounding (7.3).

Election preview: Macedonia
Charles Richardson	Elections, Europe	 26 April 2014
Parliamentary elections are being held tomorrow (Sunday) in Macedonia, together with the second round of the presidential election – the first round was two weeks earlier, on 13 April.
Macedonia was one of the constituent republics of the old Yugoslavia, declaring independence in September 1991. Its major ethnic group, now described simply as "Macedonian", would once have uncontroversially been called Bulgarian, but remained outside of Bulgaria following the Balkan wars in 1912-13 and eventually developed its own separate identity. There is also a large Albanian minority in the north and west of the country.
The presidential election is a simple matter. Incumbent president Gjorge Ivanov of VMRO-DPMNE (more about them shortly) won 51.7% of the vote in the first round, against 37.5% for his main rival, Social Democrat Stevo Pendarovski. But a first round victory requires a majority of the total enrolment, not just the total voting, and of course Ivanov was well short of that. There's no real doubt, however, that he will again beat Pendarovski tomorrow.
In any case, Macedonia has a parliamentary system, so the presidency is not where the real power is. The parliamentary election sees prime minister Nikola Gruevski, in office since 2006, seeking re-election. If he wins – which polls say is the most likely outcome – it will be his fourth straight victory, although the last three elections (including this one) have all been held early due to instability in the governing coalition.
Gruevski's party, VMRO-DPMNE, stands for the somewhat alarmingly named Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation – Democratic Party for Macedonian National Unity, but it's basically a centre-right Macedonian nationalist party. At the 2011 election it won 39.0% of the vote and 56 seats; the Social Democrats had 42 seats from 32.8%, while three ethnic Albanian parties between them had 18.8% and the remaining 25 seats.
Gruevski re-formed his coalition with the Democratic Union for Integration, the largest of the Albanian parties, but it forced an early election this year after a dispute over nominating Ivanov for a second term as president. The Albanian view is that since they constitute about a quarter of the population they should be entitled to get one of the major nationwide offices, such as the presidency.
That could make things difficult for Gruevski, since unless VMRO-DPMNE can win an absolute majority, the Albanian parties might all co-operate with the Social Democrats to exclude it. Voting is proportional (D'Hondt, no threshold) in each of six 20-member constituencies (plus another three MPs to represent residents overseas), so a single-party majority is a difficult task.
There's an obvious analogy with the Hungarian election earlier this month; like Hungary's Viktor Orbán, Gruevski has been accused of authoritarian tendencies and of pandering to some unhealthy nationalist impulses. (He's particularly fond of antagonising the Greeks, who object to use of the name "Macedonia".) But there's been no equivalent to Orbán's manipulation of the electoral system, and nor does Macedonia have any comparable force to Hungary's neo-fascist Jobbik party.
Gruevski's re-election (if it happens) need not be seen as a success for autocracy: an alternative view is that it's a welcome sign of political stability. For the first decade or more after democratisation, most of the ex-communist countries had the habit of changing government at every opportunity, as voters relished the exercise of a privilege long denied. Now many of them seem to be coming around to the idea that governments need to be given a fair test before being thrown out.
But if the Social Democrats again fall short tomorrow, it will also be another sign that Europe's swing to the left, evident for most of last year, is petering out.

The Weekend Report | DVD & Blu-Ray | Critics Roundup | Box Office Hell | Estimates | Friday Estimates
By Douglas Pratt Pratt@moviecitynews.com
Posted Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 - Comments Off on A Star is Born
The outstanding George Cukor 1954 production of A Star Is Born has been reissued by Warner Home Video as a two-platter Deluxe Edition. The first version of the 176-minute feature was fit onto one side of a single platter, with special features placed on the other side. The new release splits the film onto two sides of one platter and moves the special features to the second platter. But not to worry. If you don't feel like getting up at the Intermission and turning the DVD over, there is a Blu-ray release that presents the entire film on one side and comes with the DVD platter of special features. Before we even get to how gorgeous the BD looks, however, we must say that the new DVD is a substantial improvement over what was at the time a very nice looking initial release. Contrasts are compromised on the earlier version and blacks are not as rich as they are on the new release. Other colors are not quite as intense, either, and some shots on the older version look a little pasty. What the BD brings to the new transfer, however, is an atmosphere of image. Colors are bright on the DVD, but bright and glossy on the BD. They are more solid and more film-like, and therefore transport the viewer more readily into the film's glossy, Hollywood milieu. The BD's DTS sound is even more of an improvement over the DVD's 5.1-channel Dolby Digital. The sound quality appears to be the same as it was on the first DVD, bringing an older but still thrilling dimensionality to the music and some nice directional effects to conversations and incidental noises. You can't push the sound too high, however, without it breaking up, but with the DTS, you can push it higher and still hold onto the purity of the orchestrations and Judy Garland's vocals. The DTS sound has more stability and more weight, and it is difficult to go back to the DVD once you've had a decent sampling of it.
The picture is presented in letterboxed format with an aspect ratio of about 2.35:1 and an accommodation for enhanced 16:9 playback. The film's cinematography is outstanding. The widescreen framing is meticulously composed and balanced, and colors and light intensities are strategically applied in support of the film's emotions and themes. The movie is a musical, but it is most importantly a love story, with the songs that Garland sings being offered as one method of expressing the feelings of the characters in a graspable abstraction. The other method of expressing their feelings comes from the performances of the two primary cast members, Garland as the upwardly meteoric movie star, and James Mason as the alcoholic star on the downswing of his career, who discovers and supports her success. Garland's performance is amazing-not just her singing, which is always amazing anyway, but the depth and complexity she brings to her relationships. Mason, however, and overshadowed because he does not sing, is equally outstanding, and it is because the romantic scenes between the two seem so real and so anxious that the whole film sustains its spellbinding power from beginning to end.
The BD comes in one of those jackets that looks like a small hardcover book and contains souvenir program-type layouts on the pages between the platters. Both the DVD and the BD have an alternate French track in stereo and a Spanish track in mono, with optional English, French and Spanish subtitles.
The first DVD contained a revelatory 17 minutes of alternately shot versions of the film's best-known number, "The Man That Got Away." Although lip-synching to the same recording, Garland's performance is very different in each version-she's also wearing different outfits-as Cukor gradually moves away from showcasing her abilities to integrating her performance with the reality of the scene and the point-of-view of Mason's character. That footage is expanded to 22 minutes on the new special features, with an explanatory voiceover and more peripheral outtakes, and an absolutely thrilling split-screen sequence where you see Garland doing almost the same things but not quite as she works her way through the song. The minute-long outtake of another song that appeared on the earlier DVD is also featured on the new release, but in addition, there are 15 minutes of fresh alternate takes and outtakes (including footage that reinforces the parallel between Mason's character and Errol Flynn).
Also carried over from the previous release are the 6-minute exhibitor's reel, the 29-minute TV special about the film's premiere and a trailer. Newsreel footage from the premiere was also included previously, but it has been expanded and reorganized on the new release, running a total of 10 minutes. New materials include the very funny 7-minute color Looney Tunes cartoon from 1956 called A Star Is Bored in which Daffy Duck is a studio janitor jealous of the stardom of Bugs Bunny, and becomes Bugs' stand in; a 1942 Lux Radio Theater adaptation of the Janet Gaynor and Frederic March version of the story with Garland and Walter Pidgeon, running 55 minutes (and demonstrating that the story does not advance as tightly when the heroine's talent is simply acting ability and not singing as well; it would be interesting to know just exactly how long Garland had her eyes on the project); a 3-minute audio interview with Garland by Louella Parsons in promotion of the film; and finally, 40 minutes of recording sessions that not only let you bask in the score, but include the very precious conversations that occur between takes, and other unguarded moments (including a full and amusing, prompting-style performance of one number by Garland's long time accompanist, Roger Edens, who was moonlighting from MGM).

Elder Advocates: Newsom Close To Giving Health Care Providers Legal Immunity During Pandemic
By Amita Sharma / Investigative Reporter
Contributors: Roland Lizarondo

Pictured above is Country Hills Post Acute nursing home in El Cajon where there have been confirmed COVID-19 cases among staff and residents, April 20, 2020.
Advocates for elderly people say Gov. Gavin Newsom is about to issue an executive order giving broad legal immunity to nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other health care providers during the coronavirus pandemic.
"We understand that Governor Newsom is likely to sign an order," said lawyer Mike Dark of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform. "We expect it will come out sometime in the next few days after work is completed on some related guidance."
California hospitals, medical workers, nursing homes and assisted living facilities want Newsom to grant them immunity from criminal prosecution and all lawsuits related to the COVID-19 state of emergency.

VIDEO: Newsom Said To Be Close To Signing Order Giving Senior Facilities Legal Immunity During Pandemic
In an April 9 letter to the governor, health care groups said that level of protection was needed to save lives.
"Sadly, in the coming days and weeks [health care providers] will face wrenching, life-threatening decisions in managing scarce resources amid arduous conditions," the letter stated.
But Dark and other advocates say they fear the immunity will excuse reckless and dangerous conduct.
"Reckless conduct is conduct when the defendant knows what they're doing is dangerous and they don't care and they do it anyway and people are hurt or die as a result," Dark said. "If we immunize reckless conduct, truly the last safety net that most residents have in nursing facilities will fall away."
But he added that the health care provider lobby in Sacramento is "very powerful and very well-moneyed" and may have the governor's ear.
The California Association of Health Facilities, which represents nursing homes, and the California Assisted Living Association declined to comment Tuesday.
The Governor's office also would not comment Tuesday, saying in an email: "We'll let you know if we have anything on this."
Senior care facilities nationwide have bore the brunt of the COVID-19 crisis. San Diego County has experienced the same trend, with 49 percent of reported deaths linked to senior care facilities.
In March, a federal survey at nursing homes found that 36 percent of the facilities inspected didn't follow proper hand-washing rules, and a quarter of nursing homes failed to show they knew how to use personal protective equipment, viewed as vital in stemming infections.
Dark expressed worry that if Newsom gives providers what they want, California may see more instances of neglect like what happened earlier this month at a Riverside nursing home where staff failed to show up to work and 83 residents had to be evacuated.
Plaintiff's lawyers are joining advocates in opposition to the potential action. They say the breadth of what the state's health providers are asking of Newsom is extraordinary.
"We would argue that everything is covered by this broad immunity which is totally inappropriate because immunities already exist in this circumstance," said Micha Star Liberty, president of Consumer Attorneys of California.
She said existing laws give the health care industry legal protections during an emergency. She added that California's malpractice laws are already some of the most industry-friendly in the nation, and said giving these institutions even more protections would be "unnecessary."
"It's really difficult to understand how and under what circumstances the governor is considering language this broad," Liberty said. "As an organization, the consumer attorneys knew that something like this would be coming down the pipeline because we see this each and every time from the medical-industrial complex."
San Diego trial attorney Paul Pfingst, who represents hospitals and members of the medical community, said he pities senior care facilities.
"Every nursing home provider is at great liability because there is no template for dealing with this virus," Pfingst said. "The contagion issue for nursing homes is extraordinarily challenging. Even the emergency rooms have difficulty protecting against contagions in hospitals."

This summary provides a quick recap of the material you've learned in the probability unit so far. Please note that this summary does not provide complete coverage of the material, but just lists the main points. We therefore recommend that you use this summary only as a checklist or a review before going on to the next unit, or before an exam.
Probability is a discipline by itself. In the context of the big picture of this course, probability is used to quantify the imperfection associated with drawing conclusions about the entire population based only on a random sample drawn from it.
The probability of an event can be as low as 0 (when the event is impossible) and as high as 1 (when the event is certain).
In some cases, the only way to find the probability of an event of interest is by repeating the random experiment many times and using the relative frequency approach.
When all the possible outcomes of a random experiment are equally likely, the probability of an event is the fraction of outcomes which satisfy it.
There are many applications of probability in the health sciences including sensitivity, specificity, predictive value positive, predictive value negative, relative risk, odds ratios, to name a few.
To find the probability of events of the type "A or B" (interpreted as A occurs or B occurs or both), we use the General Addition Rule: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B).In the special case when A and B are disjoint (cannot happen together; P(A and B) = 0) the Addition Rule reduces to: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).
To find the probability of events of the type "A and B" (interpreted as both A and B occur), we use the General Multiplication Rule: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B | A). In the special case when A and B are independent (the occurrence of one event has no effect on the probability of the other occurring; P(B | A) = P(B)) the Multiplication Rule reduces to: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).
Both restricted versions of the addition rule (for disjoint events) and the multiplication rule (for independent events) can be extended to more than two events.
P(B | A), the conditional probability of event B occurring given that event A has occurred, can be viewed as a reduction of the sample space S to event A. The conditional probability, then, is the fraction of event A where B occurs as well, P(B | A) = P(A and B) / P(A).
Be sure to follow reasonable rounding rules for probability, including enough significant digits and avoiding any rounding in intermediate steps.

Nestled on the side of a hill, the community of Kellogg, Iowa, would like to invite visitors to view the results of what a small town with a big dream can do, boasting the largest street auction in Iowa held annually in April. Also, one of Kellogg\'s most notable features is the six-building Kellogg Museum complex. Its main building is the former Simpson Hotel, constructed in 1909. The museum complex also boasts an original one-room schoolhouse and a country church.
Kellogg was formed in September 1865, and prospered with the coming of the train in 1866. The railroad was designated a station on the line. The track ended here for several years, returning east by using a round-table.

DENVER MAGIC SHOW: RUBIK'S CUBE DRAWS STANDING OVATION
Posted Monday, April 15, 2019 4:46 pm by mystykhande@gmail.com
The Avenue Grill
On the first Thursday of the each month, patrons pay top dollar to see magic in an intimate setting in the Avenue Grill's historic El Dorado Room. This is the home of the Denver Magic Show which features two of Denver's best magicians performing in an upscale and exclusive setting.
At last month's show, William Rader offered up surprising visual miracles with coins, playing cards, and metal rings. Seating in the El Dorado Room is limited to 36 making it an ideal venue for this style of up close magic.
But it was Gregg Tobo's performance that drew a standing ovation to close the show.
In an extended performance that featured Tobo multiplying numbers in his head, memorizing a pack of playing cards, and displaying his mastery of over 1,000 digits of Pi, it was his demonstration with three Rubik's Cubes and a blindfold that brought the audience to their feet – a stunning demonstration of the incredible power of his analytical brain.
When asked about the standing ovation Tobo shrugged and replied, "The real secret is that they don't give a standing ovation for my skill with a Rubik's Cube. They give a standing ovation for a feeling that I've imparted to them – the jubilant feeling of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat."
The Denver Magic Show has been running for 11 months now and continues to draw capacity crowds. After performing for seven months in 99-seat theatre, Rader and Tobo decided to move their show to a smaller venue. "We wanted to deliver a premium experience to our guests," says Rader. "We wanted to create a show where you felt like the magic was happening right under your nose."
When not performing locally, Rader travels the country performing magic for his corporate clients, entertaining employees during sales meetings or drawing crowds with his magic on the trade show floor. Tobo, on the other hand, prefers to take his show to arts centers and theatre festivals around the country, spending weeks at a time on the road.
Both, however, enjoy having a Denver show to come home to. "When you're on the road, can't always do the magic you want to do; you have to adjust your show to fit the venue," says Tobo. "But the El Dorado Room has become a place where can bring out our best material."
Rader agrees, "Our residency here has allowed us to offer our audiences the best magic in Denver."
