As a member of the Secondary Systems/UI team, I was fully responsible for implementing weapon upgrade geometry and materials into weapon models and in game scripting logic that determined which parts of the models should draw. The non-linear upgrade system which allowed players to purchase upgrades that could affect the same geometry in almost any sequence, meant that my scripting logic and weapon models had to account for all possibilities. For example, the Semi-Auto Pistol's model has 9 different slides that could possibly draw.
I've broken down the most complicated parts of this design below - the Handgun (non-revolver) slides, and the Rifle barrels. These two areas received the most attention and love as they are the strongest examples of upgrades affecting the same geometry that could be purchased in many different sequences.
The Handgun (non-revolver) Slides were a major area of focus as 3 material and 3 geometric possibilities necessitated 9 possible Slide meshes on the weapon models. The material upgrades can only be obtained in one linear sequence. The same applies to the geometric upgrades, however, players can jump between the material and geometric trees at any time, necessitating all the slide variants.
To make things trickier, the Pistol Sight attachment can be acquired at any time and replaces the sights that mount on top of the slides. This meant that sight geometry had to be separated from slides, but still inherit material variance from slide upgrades. Additionally, the second two geometric slide upgrades necessitated higher slide positioning, ultimately requiring 8 possible sight meshes to query and choose from.
Below, I break down all possible material and geometric combinations allowed by the possible acquisition sequences which all had to be tested to ensure the proper geometry was hiding and drawing on both player-held weapons and Upgrade Screen weapons at all times.
This list demonstrates every possible slide affecting upgrade sequence allowed by prerequisites, indicated by light and dark versions of each respective hue, material & geometry. I compiled it to inform and direct my own extensive testing as well as QA testing initiatives. At every stage of each sequence, both player-held AND Upgrade Screen weapon objects had to be observed for proper representation since the logic often had to branch for each version.
With 3 possible material variants, an extension upgrade that has no prerequisite and appends to the end of the base barrel, hiding all short muzzles, AND a Suppressor attachment that could be acquired before or after the Barrel Extension upgrade, necessitating a short and long version, hiding any respective underlying muzzles, I'd say the majority of my time on weapon upgrades was spent on this one area of one of four weapon classes.
Below, I break down all possible material and geometric combinations allowed by the possible acquisition sequences which all had to be tested to ensure the proper geometry was hiding and drawing on both player-held weapons and Upgrade Screen weapons at all times since Upgrade Screen logic often required significant branching to preview meshes and their perquisites properly.
This list demonstrates every possible Barrel affecting upgrade sequence allowed by prerequisites (only one in this case, Match Grade Barrel prereqs Chromoly Barrel). I compiled it to inform and direct my own extensive testing as well as QA testing initiatives. At every stage of each sequence, both player-held AND Upgrade Screen weapon objects had to be observed for proper representation since the logic often had to branch for each version.
On the Hub Team, I created traversal setups, puzzle nuggets, and challenges to reward players. I also created many modular objects that required players to use a particular mechanic, with which other designers could populate other areas of the game. This was a much different development experience from my work on the weapon upgrade system script, but it was really rewarding to promote discovery in our open environments and have a greater impact on gameplay interactivity. I was able to contribute to all three of Rise of the Tomb Raider's major open hub areas, Soviet Installation, Geothermal Valley, and The Lost City. I also assumed ownership of implementing all hub mission objective pointers and beacons.
This puzzle nugget I built for The Lost City, employs a rope crank, a heavy roped trap door, and rewards players with the area's Archivist Map, revealing document and relic locations. My priority in designing this closed, initially inaccessible space was to tease its interior and the loot it holds by offering peaks through barriers like metal grates and the reverse side of the rope arrow pull exit door, which observant players will note the indication that there must be some way in. I built a heavy trap door that responds to players normal rope arrow pull, but Lara doesn't quite have the strength to open it as it slams back closed. I staged a rope crank in a nearby tower above with a clear view to the heavy trap door, which Lara can use to finally open the heavy trap door and descend down to the Archivist Map.
This simple puzzle nugget tucked away in the Soviet Installation river reinforces the water current mechanic and requires player backtracking after they have received the Knife from the Abandoned Mines. Players can see a nice Gift of Alms pickup just out of reach on an elevated terrace above the river. The player approach at the water's edge also reveals flotsam that is tied off to a rope post. Upon cutting this rope, the water current carried the flotsam towards the Gift of Alms, giving players a surface from which to leap to collect their reward. I implemented this puzzle nugget because despite its good showing in tombs and linear areas, our water current mechanic was underrepresented in our open hub spaces.
This setup features a reinforced wooden platform that hugs a tree high above the ground and houses a Salvage Crate next to a roped heavy log suspended from a crane. Reinforcing the rope arrow pull mechanic, players must yank the heavy log, swinging it into the wooden platform, breaking it to pieces and dropping their Salvage Crate reward to the ground below.
This setup rewards players for using the Wire Spool grapple axe technique which they acquire after completing The Acropolis, encouraging more re-traversal. A Gift of Alms rests high above the ground on a rock terrace, just past a rope pull platform. Players must use the grapple axe as they jump from this rope pull platform in order to climb up to collect their Gift of Alms.
This is a silly Geothermal Valley challenge I helped to implement along with another designer. It required some tricky scripting, as we were essentially marrying throwable pickup object logic with one of our small animals. Once players pick up the chicken, the animal chicken object dies and a new throwable chicken object with a simple animation spawns in the players' hands. As soon as this object makes contact with a certain surface type, be it from player throw or an accidental drop, the throwable chicken object is destroyed and a new chicken animal spawns at the point of contact, obscured by feather particles. The objective for this challenge is to chase down chickens and throw them into the village's chicken coop.
This is an example of a modular reward object I created for designers to populate our spaces with. It requires the Knife to perform a rope cut for collection, which means that it's only a re-traversal reward for areas player explore before the Abandoned Mines, which is fairly early in the game. Players must cut the rope that suspends the platform upon which a Resource Crate rests. After it plummets to the ground and breaks, players can collect their spoils.
My last contributions to Rise of the Tomb Raider were made on the Live Team for the Baba Yaga: Temple of the Witch DLC. I had full ownership of implementing all of the primary mission objective logic that occurs in the main game's spaces. The object implementation structure was an important part of this task, as we needed everything wrapped up neatly in a way we could disable it and enable it with ease using a DLC flag. All of my mission objective logic was contained in singular objects for each of their respective areas that the game only loads if DLC is installed and active. All of these objects have a robust system of inputs and outputs to communicate with one another.

How Traditional Aviation Testing Can Inform Unmanned Aerial Technologies
For years, brave souls have taken to the skies with wingsuits, human-powered aircraft, and rocket-propelled devices. But for most of the traveling public, aviation doesn't mean strapping on a jet pack. It means getting on an airplane with dozens or hundreds of other passengers.
Now, concepts that a decade ago might have seemed at the outer limits of aviation are closer than ever to reality.
"It's an exciting time," said Seamus McGovern, an engineer at U.S. DOT's Volpe Center. "For a long time, from the Wright brothers, to the moon landing, to the Concorde, it seemed something new was happening every year in aviation—but then there was a lull, where technology advanced incrementally. Now there's a lot happening again with things like private space travel, and a lot of evolution in personal flight mobility."

Aviation manufacturers around the world are coming up with prototype automated aircraft that carry people, and the genesis of the burgeoning personal flight industry is in today's unmanned aerial system (UAS) designs.
Drones often achieve flight with helicopter-style rotors or fixed-wing designs, and operators use them for tasks like aerial photography and infrastructure inspection, which do not require exacting aerodynamics certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Contrast that to the point of view of the airplane or helicopter pilot. Pilots are very interested in aerodynamics so that people and goods get where they're going as safely and efficiently as possible, McGovern said.
In thinking about this dichotomy in design perspectives, McGovern wondered: With the possibility that someday automated aircraft will move people, what would happen if traditional flight certification testing for aircraft designs was applied to drone designs and flight procedures?
"If you do a literature review for drone testing, there's not much out there," McGovern said. "So it would be great if operators could learn from design testing in the traditional aviation community."
In UAS Flight Test for Safety and for Efficiency, McGovern applied traditional flight testing techniques and principles to fixed-wing and rotary-style drone designs. This work won the Best Paper Award at the recent Integrated Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance Systems (ICNS) conference in Herndon, Virginia, in the category of UAS Safety, Modeling, Planning, Test Results.
Traditional aircraft design testing begins with planning, which involves gathering and reviewing information about an aircraft. McGovern found that the manual for the rotary drone model that he reviewed did not conform to aviation protocols—for example, speeds are in meters per second rather than knots.
Also during the planning phase, he found that the altitude reporting system on the rotary drone he examined does not provide precise pressure altitude, which is the convention in aviation.
This example of a rotary-wing height-velocity diagram shows safe and unsafe airspeeds and heights. Similar diagrams could be useful for unmanned aircraft operations. (U.S. Navy image)
To improve efficiency, McGovern found that the height of the rotary drone's landing gear could be adjusted to reduce the power needed for liftoff. He also found that the design of the rotary drone's fuselage is based on structural layout and aesthetics, and that performance enhancements—including increased speed and inflight operating time—could be achieved with a more aerodynamic design.
For the fixed-wing model, McGovern used a computer simulation to determine the best rate-of-climb speed and the best angle-of-climb, but he cautioned that only a real flight test could accurately determine the best climb speed and angle.
"What I wanted to do in this investigation was to simply show that aviation testing can inform drone design and flight profiles," McGovern said. "Follow-on efforts to this work could include design and completion of a full flight-test program on selected UAS models. A full flight-test would quantify performance and help manufacturers formulate more aerodynamically efficient designs, preferred flight profiles, measure performance improvements, and identify safety improvements."
Best Paper Award Goes to Seamus McGovern
In UAS Flight Test for Safety and for Efficiency, which won Best Paper Award at the recent ICNS conference, Volpe engineer Seamus McGovern applied traditional flight testing techniques and principles for aircraft designs to fixed-wing and rotary-style drone designs.
As a naval aviator, McGovern served as an anti-submarine warfare helicopter pilot, helicopter aircraft commander, instructor pilot, and functional check pilot. As an Army aviator, he was a utility helicopter pilot, attack helicopter pilot, aeromedical evacuation pilot, pilot in command, and maintenance test pilot.

When exploring marine environments, underwater robots tend to be a bull trout in a china shop, disturbing marine life with their bulk and disruptive propulsion.
Scientists said on Wednesday they have created a remote-controlled robot that swims quietly through coral reefs and schools of fish and uses a fisheye lens, of course, to capture high-resolution photos and video with a camera built into its nose.
SoFi, built with a generic fish design, is white, weighs less than 4 pounds (1.6 kg) and is about 18 inches (47 cm) long.

Crab Nebula from Five Observatories
In the summer of the year 1054 AD, Chinese astronomers saw a new "guest star," that appeared six times brighter than Venus. So bright in fact, it could be seen during the daytime for several months.
This "guest star" was forgotten about until 700 years later with the advent of telescopes. Astronomers saw a tentacle-like nebula in the place of the vanished star and called it the Crab Nebula. Today we know it as the expanding gaseous remnant from a star that self-detonated as a supernova, briefly shining as brightly as 400 million suns. The explosion took place 6,500 light-years away. If the blast had instead happened 50 light-years away it would have irradiated Earth, wiping out most life forms.
In the late 1960s astronomers discovered the crushed heart of the doomed star, an ultra-dense neutron star that is a dynamo of intense magnetic field and radiation energizing the nebula. Astronomers therefore need to study the Crab Nebula across a broad range of electromagnetic radiation, from X-rays to radio waves.

Vietnam keen to boost trade with Sri Lanka to $1 bln
Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh said Vietnam will step up cooperation with Sri Lanka to increase two-way trade to US$1 billion by 2015.
The Deputy PM, who is also Foreign Minister, made the statement at his talks with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Prime Minister D. M. Jayaratne and Speaker of Parliament Chamal Jayantha Rajapaks, and Foreign Minister G. L. Peiris in Colombo on Monday.
Minh said Vietnam always attaches importance to the traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation with Sri Lanka, and expressed his belief that Sri Lanka will soon fulfill its set targets to turn it into an important economic, trade, aviation, maritime and intellectual centre in the region.
Both the host and guest highly valued good performances in the bilateral relations in the past, and shared the view that both sides should further strengthen exchanges and meetings at all levels.
The two sides also pledged to encourage and create conditions for their enterprises to do business in each other's country.
The Sri Lankan leaders spoke highly of Vietnam's development achievements and expressed their wish to get the country's experience and support in agriculture and aquaculture.
The host leaders also said Sri Lanka is willing to help Vietnam in law and international justice, the sectors of its strength.
Upon congratulating Vietnam on its election to the UN Human Rights Council for the 2014-2016 tenure, they said they want Vietnam to play a more important role in international forums.

All the way from our Early Years parent and tot classes, up through the RAD syllabus, we hope to nurture in every child a love of ballet, and use imaginative settings, mime and free work to learn the ballet technique in a fun and creative way!
The Royal Academy of Dance is one of the world's most influential dance education and professional membership organisations. We set global standards for exams in classical ballet, teacher training and Continuing Professional Development for dance. The RAD offers an internationally-recognised portfolio of examinations and assessments designed to encourage, motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities, outlining a progressive structure for learning and achievement in dance.
Irrespective of exams, all children taking classes with us will be invited to participate in our ballet performances, and all classes have a parent 'watching week' at the end of term.
We hope to inspire the children to appreciate ballet, develop coordination, poise, musicality, confidence and a life long love of the theatre.
Required ages for each level are set by the RAD. Please see full guideline here.
*Please note that class level assignment will be at the sole discretion of the Ballet Mistress.
The Graded Examination Syllabus consists of three different components: classical, free movement and character dance.
Classical: the foundation and most important part of the Graded Syllabi.
Free movement: incorporates movements in common with other dance styles such as natural movement, contemporary based dance and Greek dance.
Character dance: is the theatrical presentation of national dance using original ethnic dance and music that has been freely adapted for the theatre. There are three styles – Hungarian, Russian and Polish – and these were selected because of their historic importance in the development of the traditional full-length classical ballets.
The Vocational Graded Examinations in Dance Syllabus provides an in-depth study of ballet, developing students' technique, music and performance skills and introduces pointe work for female candidates. This highly-focused and practical training prepares students for a dance, or dance-related, career. The syllabi are appropriate for students from the age of 11 years. Students wishing to study for Vocational Graded examinations should have the maturity and technical aptitude for demanding study. *Students must be studying towards their relevant graded class (usually 4,5 or 6) and achieving the required standard to be invited to join vocational classes.
This invite only class, is designed to prepare students for the physical and mental requirements to progress to beginner pointe classes. Students must be studying toward RAD Grade 4 or above and be at the appropriate technical standard.
Overall body conditioning, intense ballet technique and ankle strength and mobility is developed during this 45 minute class. Anatomy and dance safety is also covered through theory and practical methods.
Pointe shoes are not required for this class.
Progression to beginner pointe is by assessment only and is the sole discretion of the ballet mistress.
Those who have successfully completed Grade 5 Ballet, if deemed ready for the challenges of pointe work, will be invited to participate in the Beginner Pointe class. This class is in addition to their weekly graded syllabus class. This class is for students who successfully pass the pre-pointe assessment. Students continue to develop their physical conditioning, anatomy and dance knowledge whilst also beginning to study pointe technique. A slower paced class, focusing on the development of dancing en pointe safely and correctly.
Students must be studying towards an RAD Grade to participate in this class.

The New York Times--Unsubstantiated, Uncorroborated and Blatantly False Reporting
The Blackwater Gunner's Account
By Mike Nizza
Tags: blackwater, iraq, security, washington
Hours after The New York Times reported the Federal Bureau of Investigation's conclusion that Blackwater guards killed 14 Iraqis without cause in Baghdad on Sept. 16, the official account of a turret gunner was leaked to ABC News.
In a sworn statement to State Department investigators made three days after the incident, the gunner, whose given name is Paul (his surname was deleted by censors), said that he faced at least four life-threatening situations in the incident, and he turned the machine gun from target to target to stop them. Here's how it started, according to the Paul's account:
As our motorcade pulled into the intersection I noticed a white four door sedan driving directly at our motorcade … I and others were yelling, and using hand signals for the car to stop and the driver looked directly at me and kept moving toward our motorcade. Fearing for my life and the lives of my teammates, I engaged the driver and stopped the threat.
--read entire article--
Dan Rather loses his job for reporting that George Bush ducked his responsibilities while in the Air Force Reserve during the Vietnam war. A ton of bricks fell on Rather, including from the NYT.
Yet they report this 'leaked' and self-serving account by a Blackwater turret-gunner, who killed a bunch of unarmed Iraqis under the false claim of being attacked.
False claim?
There has been NO ONE who has corroborated ANY firing of weaponry at the Blackwater guards. Not one. No shell casings, no bullets, no injuries, no nothing.
Yet the times publishes this drivel without consequence and Rather is out of a job--not only out of a job, but shamed by the profession he served for half a century.
Makes sense only in a NYT world.

Hi guys, has anyone else booked on this trip? We are Lesley & Andy Teall, booked and now starting to worry that its only 3 months to go, aaahhhh!!!!
We are trying to get fit walking in Snowdonia, the weekends are going so quickly!
Hiya Andy, thanks for the advise on the base camp trip. I have pretty much got all my gear now, just need the odd bits. I was thinking of getting a down jacket from Shone's mountaineering shop in Thamel, Kathmandu. Have you been in the shop before, If so whats it like?
Hi Sutha, good luck with the gym training! Looking forward to meeting you in October.
I don't think that its possible to train for altitude, and it can hit different people, whether fit or unfit. All that can be guaranteed is that the air will be much thinner (equivalent of using 1 lung), therefore it will be much harder work climbing, and the fitter we are, the less hard it will be! If altitude sickness hits big time, the choices are to put up with it if it is mild, or head downhill quickly!!
Yep, I am not the fittest bloke in the planet. I did Inca Trail last year and managed it. This is going to be much harder. The highest point 4250m or something like that. Keep fingers crossed!!
I'm Ivett and I am coming along with 2 friends of mine : Jon and Corina. We have never done anything like this before . How fit are you guys ? We are generally ok ( can run 10 if needed ) but never done anyhting like this before. Do you guys have any tips ? Anyone heard of the tablets that apparently stops you having altitude sickness ? Is it for real ?
Looking forward to meeting you all in 5 weeks. I have been adviced to drink plenty of water. When I did Inca Trail we were drinking between 4-6 litres of water. Mix "Nuun" or something like that with the water to replenish the salt etc.
Its only 3 weeks to go ! Panick -panick .
I have more questions : What size backpacks are you guys bringing?
Anyone got the Exodus bag yet ?
Only 3 weeks to go!!
We are taking our normal rucksacks, approx 35-40 litres. Got an e-mail from Exodus the other day, kitbags are sent out 2 weeks before we go!!
Are you guys flying from Heathrow on the Exodus flight?
Oh dear nothing yet ... may give them a call. Wonder how big is the kit bag. Any ideas?
Still no kit bag received - rang up Exodus, not particularly helpful but said they would chase up (we are going in 10 days after all!!).
Suggest you ring Exodus as well if kit bag not received yet!
Corina has talked to Exodus and apparently all kit bags have been sent out already (approx 65 L , size of A4 when packed) . If it doesnt arrive by Friday we can pick some up at the office in Balham.
If we need to pick ours up do you want us to pick some up for you ? Could give it toy you at the airport.
Hi Ivett - kit bags finally arrived today! Many thanks for the offer though.
Just wanted to check if all is ok with Lesley , let me know.

India Inc today rallied behind the Army's move to conduct surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the Line of Control and said it was time to act tough.
India Inc today rallied behind the Army's move to conduct surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the Line of Control and said it was time to act tough while ruling out any negative impact on the country's economy and trade.
"Our civil n (sic) decent response in the past hasn't been met with reciprocity so it's time to act tough," Biocon CMD Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw tweeted.
PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Mahesh Gupta said there will be no impact on India's trade and economy, adding that the volatility in the financial markets will also be short lived.
The chamber said that while reaction in the stock market to the news of India's surgical strikes was understandable, there is no cause of concern for the country's economy which has the capabilities to withstand any extra costs to be borne for the sake of our national security.
However, asked about the implications on India-Pakistan bilateral trade, Sahai said India's move to review the most favoured nation (MFN) status accorded to its neighbour has raised some uncertainty for exporters on whether trade will normalise in the future.


Huawei has made some pretty solid advances this year, whether it is in the flagship segment or the mid-range segment. The Huawei sub-brand, Honor has taken the same path and has made many launches this year. Whether it is the flagship Honor 10 or the mid-range Honor Play, both the phones come off as excellent contenders for the top spot in their respective price range. Right now, to follow up with the success of the top-end Honor 10, the Huawei sub-brand has launched the toned-down version of the Honor 10, the Honor 10 Lite in China. This new phone by Honor comes with a dual rear camera setup, the signature Honor gradient colour, all glass design and a tiny notch on top. Read ahead to know more about what the new Honor 10 Lite packs.
Talking about the screen, the Honor 10 Lite sports a 6.21-inch IPS LCD with 1080 x 2340 pixels, Full HD+ resolution on an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. Also, we get to see the waterdrop notch design on the Honor 10 Lite which helps the phone in attaining an impressive 90% screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, the Honor 10 Lite rocks the Huawei's in-house manufactured 12nm Kirin 710 octa-core processor clocking up to 2.2 GHz frequency. The processor comes paired with an ARM Mali-G51 MP4 GPU for graphics. Like the Honor Play, this phone also comes with the GPU Turbo Technology which boosts the graphics and overall performance of the phone to improve efficiency and performance. On the software front, the Honor 10 Lite becomes the second smartphone to come with Android 9 Pie out of the box, with the EMUI 9.0 running on top of it.
As for memory, the Honor 10 Lite debuts in three configurations consisting of 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. If users want to expand the storage, then there is also a microSD card slot which will allow the users to expand up to 256GB. Being a mid-range phone, the Honor 10 Lite doesn't compare to the Honor 10 in optics and it sports a dual rear camera setup comprising of 13MP primary sensor paired with a 2MP secondary sensor. There is also a 24MP selfie snapper on the front. The 13MP primary sensor flaunts a f/1.8 aperture and supports many AI-powered features like the AI Portrait Mode and AI scene detection. The 24MP selfie shooter boasts of a f/2.0 aperture and offers features like AI beautification and AI portrait mode.
For Connectivity, the Honor 10 Lite comes with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy, GPS with A-GPS, and Dual 4G VoLTE. Also, unlike the Honor 10 which comes with a USB Type-C, the Honor 10 Lite only comes with a micro USB port. The phone packs a 3,400mAh battery, and we get to notice a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The dimensions of the Honor 10 Lite measure 154.8 x 73.64 x 7.95mm and it weighs 162 grams.
With the China release of the phone, the company has also opened pre-orders for the device, and it will go live on sale starting tomorrow, i.e. November 22nd. The entry-level variant of the Honor 10 Lite with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage will bear a price tag of 1,399 yuan (about Rs 14,300) in China. Whereas, the 6GB RAM and 64GB variant will retail at 1,699 yuan (about Rs 17,400), while the top model of the phone with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant will come for 1,899 yuan (about Rs 19,500). Also, buyers in China will have four colour options to choose from for the Honor 10 Lite, which will include Midnight Black, White, Gradient Blue and Gradient Red.


Home Page >> Feature Articles >> A Train Accident, A Death and a Lifetime..
Council Bluffs, IAFor one man, his life was over in an instant. For another, a life became bedeviled with chronic pain from a lifetime of work with the railroad. For both, railroad worker safety has been an issue for rail workers for more than hundred years—ever since 1908 when railroad worker deaths and train accidents fostered the creation of the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA).
It remains an issue to this day, and especially for the family of Craig Lang, age 41, of Neola Iowa.
This past Wednesday the Union Pacific employee would have awakened to the intrusion of the alarm clock, and to the welcoming smell of coffee wafting through his abode like any other day. And he would have walked out his front door in the pre-dawn darkness with the expectation of walking back through later that day. Perhaps amidst thoughts of his family, or of the Superbowl game on Sunday.
But the railroad is not a safe place to work, as the rail forefathers of a hundred years hence foretold with FELA. And Wednesday Lang had been, or was continuing to work on a train when he was suddenly struck and killed by a train heading in the opposite direction.
The accident happened January 28th at about 6am in Council Bluffs. A spokesperson for Union Pacific indicated that Lang was employed as a switchman, and died at the scene.
Norm Chapper is another employee of Union Pacific. And while Mr. Chapper is still in the land of the living, his life is plagued with pain. At least that's the allegation, resulting from a repetitive trauma injury he claims to have incurred by working at various jobs with Union Pacific over the years.
Chapper's lawsuit, filed December 29th in Jefferson County District Court, claims that his injuries were incurred while working as a conductor, brakeman, switchman, fireman and engineer in the transportation department of Union Pacific Railroad Company.
He claims the injury happened because of the negligence of Union Pacific Railroad Company, who failed to provide Chapper with a safe place to work and failed to comply with industry standards.
"Specifically, but without limitation, the area where Mr. Chapper suffered his injury was not in compliance with federal track regulations concerning ballast and other track components," the suit states. "Moreover, the equipment he was provided violated the Safety Appliance Act, the Boiler/Locomotive Inspection Act and accompanying federal regulations."
Chapper's injury affected his leg, knees, lower extremity and other parts of his body, the suit states.
Because of Chapper's injury, he claims he suffered physical pain, suffering, mental anguish and lost earnings and benefits.
He also experienced physical impairment, incurred medical expenses and suffered disfigurement, according to the complaint.
It is cases like Chapper's and the tragic death of Lang earlier this week that point to the risks associated with a lifetime of working around trains. And those risks are just as real now, as they were 101 years ago when FELA was created.
Last year FELA celebrated its 100th anniversary. The centennial celebrations now past, the organization heads into its 101st year with a mandate and viability plainly demonstrated by a continuation of railroad worker deaths, and concern for railroad worker safety that is just as evident today, as it would have been with the train accident of yesteryear.
If you have suffered losses in this case, please send your complaint to a lawyer who will review your possible [Railroad Lawsuit] at no cost or obligation.


When NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt said goodbye to his job in September after eight years, he became a free agent just when the largest players in media were taking a hard look at their management ranks.
At the time, a top TV producer dubbed Greenblatt a "lethal weapon" that could be drawn by any number of media and tech giants looking to shake up their leadership status quo.
For weeks, there were rumblings about the former head of NBC and Showtime moving into a plum post at Apple, or taking the helm of CBS Corp., or replacing Richard Plepler at the top of HBO. On March 4, Greenblatt landed as chairman of WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct to Consumer, overseeing HBO, TNT, TBS, TruTV and WarnerMedia's nascent streaming services. WarnerMedia's parent company, AT&T, accelerated the pace of a restructuring that had already been contemplated in order to craft a portfolio for Greenblatt that was bigger than the industry rumor mill envisioned.
Greenblatt's arrival — and Plepler's departure after 27 years with HBO — marks the latest round of high-level executive musical chairs that has rattled the industry over the past 18 months. Whether it's Greenblatt at WarnerMedia, Peter Rice and Dana Walden moving to Disney, Jennifer Salke at Amazon, Channing Dungey at Netflix or Charlie Collier at Fox Corp., an unprecedented number of prominent senior managers have changed jobs in a short period of time. That amounts to a clutch of hard-charging executives being unleashed with money to spend, mountains to climb and a lot to prove, to themselves and to their once and future colleagues in a highly competitive, shifting landscape.
Top jobs are opening up because the largest media and entertainment firms are under pressure to reinvent a big chunk of their businesses for the streaming era. Disney, WarnerMedia and NBCUniversal are taking a big swing to follow Netflix into the direct-to-consumer streaming market with ambitious services planned for launch later this year and in 2020.
Netflix is aiming to augment its programming operations by recruiting executives such as former ABC Entertainment president Dungey to help manage the ballooning roster of creative talent under its roof. Dungey was replaced at ABC by Karey Burke, the former Freeform programming chief who was handpicked by Walden in November to become her top lieutenant at ABC.
At Apple, Sony Pictures TV alums Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht are getting close to unveiling some of their handiwork after nearly two years of stealth efforts to build a roster of shows to lead the device giant into the streaming arena. Erlicht and Van Amburg recruited a slew of seasoned executives from various shops to build out the operation they began assembling in June 2017.
Amazon went through a lengthy search before selecting Greenblatt's former No. 2 at NBC, Salke, in February 2018, to lead its film and TV efforts. Salke too has enlisted numerous network and studio veterans to her team. She left NBCU after feeling less than appreciated for her contributions to the revival of NBC's mothership network. Greenblatt also resigned from NBC in part because he couldn't come to terms with Burke on expanding his responsibilities. There is little doubt that Greenblatt has every motivation to prove his mettle as a manager and programmer in his new role.
A few months after Greenblatt left, NBCU unveiled a massive restructuring that saw NBC Broadcasting chief Mark Lazarus and Universal Studios chief Jeff Shell divvy up most of the company.
The pool of contenders for high-ranking jobs tends to revolve around a relatively small number of what some might call "the usual suspects." But it takes a distinct personality type to aspire to leadership roles where so much is on the line.
A common thread among most of the executives on the move is that they all come to new jobs with broadcast TV backgrounds. That means they're trained to deal with decision-making that happens at a fast pace, and with the strong potential for a big public flop or controversy always lurking around the corner. Beckman sees this executive trend as a sign that the next wave of original content for streaming is likely to lean more toward popcorn fare than art-house esoterica.
Another factor simply comes down to experience. The execs switching jobs are largely in their late-40s to mid-50s. Many of them have come up the ranks in the industry as co-workers or friends. They've put in their time and are ready to advance to a higher pedestal of authority and responsibility.
"These are really, really tough jobs," says Sucherman. "You need someone who's had a lot of experience with success and with failure." He is quick to add that a frustration for companies in recruiting is the lack of gender, racial and ethnic diversity among candidates with the qualifications and relevant experience to run risky ventures.
"We should have more diversity in the types of people who would be picking television programs and movies. And companies are aware of that," Sucherman says.
The volume of shuffling raises the stakes of the business ventures in play, which have already heightened the level of competition among TV's top ranks. Most of the executives who have ascended to new heights have competed against their counterparts at rival companies for years. There's a history there that will only add to the overall competitive fervor as Disney and others barrel into new markets.
The typical scramble to lock up hot projects and marquee creative names has become even more cutthroat than usual as newly appointed executives try to make a splash. That's great news for talent reps.
The present climate is a heady cocktail of fear and ambition. There will be no shortage of opportunities for innovation and creative boundary-pushing in the coming years as Big Media invests in building new pathways to make pictures fly through the air to screens of all sizes around the world.
Hence, it's the alpha executives who are most eager to seize this unsettled moment.

iPad Trash Talk from HP, Dell Sounds Like Sour Grapes
By Jared Newman
I love a good flame war between rival tech companies, but two recent attacks on Apple's iPad by HP and Dell executives failed to stir my emotions, except one: sympathy.
Reading the remarks of Dell marketing head Andy Lark and HP senior vice president Stephen Dewitt made me feel sorry for both companies. Apple's destroying them in the tablet market, and there's not a whole lot they can say or do about it.
Dell's Delusion
I feel pain for Lark, who for some reason said the following to CIO Australia about the iPad: "An iPad with a keyboard, a mouse and a case [means] you'll be at $1,500 or $1,600; that's double of what you're paying." As PC World readers pointed out, an iPad mouse doesn't exist, and if you add a keyboard and case to the priciest iPad, you still wouldn't crack $1,000.
But that misguided comment isn't my main concern. The bulk of Lark's comments are about how Dell has taken a "considered approach to tablets" because the company does most of its business in the enterprise market. I interpret that to mean Dell wants to create Windows tablets -- the company has been showing off a 10-inch concept device running Windows 7 -- but right now, the software isn't working in Dell's favor. Windows 7 just isn't designed for touchscreens, so Dell will not really be able to embrace tablets until Windows 8 comes around. Being powerless on the software front must be tough, especially while Apple is making its hardware thinner, lighter and faster.
HP's Palaver
DeWitt's iPad bashing is a little more obscure than Lark's comments. Speaking at a conference for HP's channel partners, DeWitt criticized the relationship Apple has with the companies that sell and service its products. "Apple's relationship with partners is transactional, completely. Apple doesn't have an inclusive philosophy of partner capabilities, and that's just absurd," he said.
I can't speak for Apple's channel partners, but it seems obvious to me why Apple might treat them as transactional: it can. The iPad 2 is selling out everywhere, and while DeWitt can talk all he wants about having an "inclusive philosophy," what really matters in the end is whether the product is selling. And the iPad 2 is selling.
Besides, Apple doesn't need channel partners nearly as desperately as they need Apple. Thanks to the Apple Store, the company already has its own point of sales, service and training. When an iPad breaks, Apple doesn't need the Geek Squad. Its Genius Bar does the job. That must be frustrating for a company like HP.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for the competition that the iPad will face this year. Android 3.0 got a rough start in the Motorola Xoom, but it'll eventually come along; Research in Motion's BlackBerry PlayBook deserves a chance, despite a lack of buzz; and HP's TouchPad promises a whole bunch of features that the iPad lacks. But until Dell and HP actually launch products that can go toe-to-toe with the iPad, all they can do is talk. And they're clearly running out of things to say.

IRS deploys talking tax forms
"IRS makes tax forms accessible"
"Adobe to retool PDF forms"
"A new take on the paperless office"
It speaks in a robotic monotone, progressing relentlessly, item by item, line by line. It's not something you'd want to listen to often, but once a year should do it for most people.
Lend an ear to the Internal Revenue Service's new talking tax form.
The screen readers used by people with visual impairments can now read electronic versions of the 1040A and the 1040EZ forms. And by the end of the year, the IRS plans to rework 25 to 50 of the most frequently downloaded tax forms so that taxpayers who are blind or have other visual impairments can fill them out online.
Making electronic tax forms, produced in PDF format and accessible to screen readers, is "a true breakthrough," said Michael Moore, head of the IRS' Alternative Media Center. It took the tax agency and two contractors more than a year to accomplish the feat.
Screen readers are designed to read text files, but PDFs are image files and therefore meaningless to screen readers.
Adobe Systems Inc., the PDF's inventor, and Plexus Scientific Corp. have worked with the IRS to develop software that can make the screen readers PDF-accessible. Called Adobe PDF Forms Access, the software will sell for $99 a copy at Adobe's online store.
PDF Forms Access helps users quickly convert standard PDF forms into an accessible form. Conversion work that used to take eight hours now can be done in one hour, said Sean Conley, a senior product manager at Adobe.
"The tool allows you to capture the structure" of a PDF document "and then modify it," said Cyril St. Martin, information technology chief at Plexus. That means that forms do not have to be re-created from scratch, which saves time, he said.
The ability to make PDF forms accessible has already caught the attention of several federal agencies. Officials at the Social Security Administration, the Agriculture and Justice departments, and the House of Representatives have all expressed interest in the new software, said Greg Pisocky, an accessibility specialist at Adobe.
In a little over a year from now, federal agencies will face a key deadline. By Oct. 21, 2003, they must allow individuals and entities to submit information and conduct transactions electronically, as required by the Government Paperwork Elimination Act.
And under Section 508 requirements, agencies must make their computer systems, Web pages and electronic documents accessible to people with disabilities.
The talking 1040A and 1040EZ may not sound great to the untrained ear, "but if you're used to listening to synthesized speech, the end result is good," said Doug Wakefield, a government accessibility expert for the U.S. Access Board who helped write the Section 508 standards.
And the forms should sound better soon, St. Martin said. "The technology is improving, literally, month by month."
There are limits to improvement, however. Users who were asked by the IRS to evaluate the new forms asked why the forms couldn't calculate their taxes, as commercial tax preparation software does, Moore said.
But under pressure from the tax preparation industry, the IRS has been barred from adding that feature.


The Aztec demon is unleashed. The green bottle is his "trick." They're his bait.
And so, they all take turns to tell their tale, unaware that within this bottle abides an ancient creepy Aztec demon spirit, vowing to teach them all a lesson; one they will never forget.
Will they make it through the night? Or will the forces of evil prevail?
The kitchen curtains were never drawn. They projected silvery moonlight onto Tom's face. Tonight he was restless. He opened the fridge door and rooted around inside. His eyes lit up when he found a wine bottle.
"What the hell!" He shuffled to his feet and plodded to the window. The crow still sat perched on the ashes of her love letters. As long as it stayed put, Tom didn't mind the old crow. But wasn't it odd that a stuffy old bird, black as night, should sit in solitude, cawing every night.
Returning to the fridge, he uncorked the bottle with his long fingernails. It dripped all over his chest. But what he saw was not wine. It was blood.
Consoling himself, he lay down, humming.
"Caaw! Caaw!" It was the old crow.
It was 6:30 a.m. The dimming moonlight tempted Tom to peer outside to get a better look at the crow; that was not difficult. The darn thing never moved an inch. But why was it perched there, on her love letters?
But the forces of evil were bent on destruction tonight of all nights. Nine days since the night. Nine days since his mother vowed to come back for her beloved son. It was then that the crow appeared before him...and for the first time, revealed its putrefied face.
Tom screamed until the crow's sharp beak tore at his throat, cutting off his cries.

I received your kind favor for the Cornwallis. It always gives us peculiar pleasure to hear from you in this distant part of the globe. I hope in this period our friends Mr. & Mrs. Johnson will have paid you a visit. From them you will learn the exact state of this Colony and what a miserable place it is in a moral & religious sense. Since my colleagues departure it is quite changed. The greatest alterations have been brought about from a variety of causes uniting together. Our present Governor has almost put a total stop to the introduction of spirits into the Colony. However strong an inclination the common people may have to get intoxicated they will not have it in their power. We have also had a number of ships from all quarters with Commodities for sale which has reduced many goods below their original cost and many thousands of pounds worth of goods have been taken out of the settlement lately for want of purchasers and an immense quantity of goods remain unsold. We are at present in great want of Bread. This is in a great measure to be attributed to the extravagance & idleness of the Farmers who take little or no care of their crops when grown. We have a good prospect at present of a plentiful harvest next Season but before then the sufferings of many will be very great.  You would see from my colleagues papers when he returned that an Institution had been adopted for providing for the poor distressed children in this Colony. The school is now opened and more than 30 Girls received. I spent the last evening with them for the first time and made a beginning to instruct them in the principles of Christianity, sang a hymn and went to prayers with them.
New South Wales while I was performing this duty appeared more like a Christian Country than it had ever done since I first entered it. I hope the foundation is now laid for religion and morality if God only furnish means to carry it on. It will meet I am aware with great opposition and have many difficulties to surmount in order to carry it into full effect. I shall exert my utmost abilities to promote its prosperity & like Nehemiah shall make supplication to the God of Heaven, and say the "God of Heaven will prosper us therefore we his servants will arise and build."
My colleague may think himself happy that he is out of the settlement at present. He would have been very miserable had he been here. There are still great differences amongst our leading men which renders the situation of those who would be quiet far from pleasant. I make it my study to avoid all quarrels as much as possible and sometimes do violence to my own feelings for the sake of Peace. After all ones caution troubles will come, they must be expected while we live in the midst of unreasonable and wicked men. I have lately had a difficult task to perform. Our Courts of Justice where we are compelled to sit as members to administer Justice often expose an honest man who will do his duty to great troubles. He is constrained sometimes to condemn the conduct of his equals or superiors. When he does this though no more than his duty the guilty will remember him and seek occasion to do him an injury. I hope from what has lately happened the mode of administering Justice will be completely changed in this country.
I have seen a great deal of mankind during my residence in this Country, at least of the bad part but I am quite tired of my situation in many respects. I have much to do, more than almost is possible for one person but God is very gracious, he gives me strength and spirit.  If I feel little pleasure from the multiplicity of other business in Religion in the week day I am refreshed sometimes on the Sabbath and find my soul sweetly drawn after God. This is a very ungracious soil for the growth of Piety. The Lord knows best where to place me. In the midst of every difficulty I see cause to rejoice that he has appointed me such a Post of Honor. Whatever I may meet with if it comes in the way of my duty, it does not become me to complain but to he still & know that he is God. Mrs. Marsden has wrote you a line. You will have seen Ann our little girl. Her mother did not wish to part with her, but I prevailed at length.
I do not suppose you will he able to make out this scrawl. I am very weary this evening having had much to do this day. The Ribbons came safe shall give Mrs. Johnson an account of them next conveyance. Give my respectful compliments to Mr. Stokes. I would have wrote him but he may expect one by the next ship. I want to give him some account of the progress of Agriculture our Coal Mines &c &c.

Water products manufacturing as well as the corporate headquarters are located in East Jordan, Michigan. Branches and distribution centers are located throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.

"EJ supplies products to infrastructure projects in 6 of the 7 continents." In 2007, the company was awarded the National Utility Contractors Association Associate of the year award.

History
EJ was founded in East Jordan, Michigan in 1883. The company was established in November 1883 by William Malpass and his father-in-law, Richard W. Round, to service the logging industry in East Jordan and around Northern Michigan. In the early years of operation, EJ manufactured castings for necessities such as machine parts, ship parts, agricultural uses, and railroads. In 1886, when William's brother James joined the business, the company was renamed to East Jordan Iron Works. In 1905, the foundry was destroyed by a fire but was then rebuilt using bricks made in its hometown of East Jordan.

In the 1920s, lumbering operations began to decrease after the advent of the Great Depression. By World War II, lumbering had moved out of the area, and EJ then shifted their large-scale production to street castings, water works valves, and fire hydrants as well as war materials needed for the war effort such as tank parts.

The Ardmore foundry was built in 2000 and opened in 2001.

East Jordan Iron Works was renamed to EJ in 2012 to consolidate multiple owned holdings under a single brand.

Groundbreaking for a new EJ foundry in nearby Elmira Township began around the beginning of 2017, and was completed in November 2018. The company moved into the new building, and began operations in it shortly after. There is no timetable for the old foundry's demolition.

Construction of a new fabrication facility in Cicero, New York was completed in 2019.
