GIBSON, C. J.
In this action for damages for alleged malpractice and negligence in the performance of a hysterectomy, the court granted a nonsuit as to defendant Dr. Jones, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the other defendant, Dr. Weber.plaintiff has appealed from the ensuing judgments, contending that she was entitled to the benefit of the inference of negligence which arises from the application of the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur and that therefore the court erred in granting the nonsuit as to Dr. Jones and in refusing to give requested instructions on the subject as to Dr. Weber.
[1] As a general rule, res ipsa loquitur applies where the accident is of such a nature that it can be said, in the light of past experience, that it probably was the result of negligence by someone and that the defendant is probably the person who is responsible. (Faulk v. Soberanes, 56 Cal. 2d 466, 470 [14 Cal. Rptr. 545, 363 P.2d 593]; Wolfsmith v. Marsh, 51 Cal. 2d 832, 835 [337 P.2d 70]; Zentz v. Coca Cola Bottling Co., 39 Cal. 2d 436, 442-447 [247 P.2d 344].) [2] In determining whether such probabilities exist with regard to a particular occurrence, the courts have relied on both common knowledge and the testimony of expert witnesses. (Seneris v. Haas, 45 Cal. 2d 811, 824-826 [291 P.2d 915, 53 A.L.R.2d 124]; Zentz v. Coca Cola Bottling Co., supra, 39 Cal. 2d 436.) A statement in Engelking v. Carlson, 13 Cal. 2d 216, 221 [88 P.2d 695], to the effect that res ipsa loquitur may be applied only where a layman is able to say as a matter of common knowledge that the injury would not ordinarily have occurred [57 Cal. 2d 837] without negligence is disapproved. (See Seneris v. Haas, supra.)
Dr. Weber, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, performed the hysterectomy, and Dr. Jones, a general surgeon, acted as his assistant. After the operation was completed plaintiff suffered a severe spasm whenever she voided, and about 10 days later there was a leakage of urine from the vagina. Dr. Weber examined her and found a vesicovaginal fistula, which is an opening through the wall of the bladder and the vagina.plaintiff testified that after the examination Dr. Weber pointed to a chart on his desk and said, "I must have put a suture through the flap of the bladder there which caused the fistula." There was evidence that "bladder flap" is an informal term used to refer to the "vesico uterine reflection of the parietal peritoneum." (The parietal peritoneum is a membrane that lines the interior of the abdominal cavity.) Dr. Weber denied making the statement ascribed to him by Mrs. Siverson and explained that a suture through the "flap of the bladder" is "normal procedure," that "it is done in every case, and in doing so you can't cause a fistula."
Following the hysterectomy plaintiff was treated by other doctors for several months and then went to Canada where after further surgery the fistula was closed.
Plaintiff did not call an expert witness but relied on the testimony of Dr. Weber, elicited under section 2055 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and cross-examination of the defense witnesses. The medical witnesses agreed that the exact cause of a fistula appearing several days after a hysterectomy cannot ordinarily be ascertained and that they could not determine the cause of the fistula involved here. Fistulas may occur even though the surgeon has exercised the care and skill generally possessed and exercised by reputable gynecologists in the community, and the development of a fistula, although rare, is considered an inherent risk of the operation. fn. *
It is known that such fistulas result from devascularization and necrosis (cutting off of the blood supply and death of tissue) in the place where the fistula is formed; a number of factors can contribute to the devascularization and necrosis, [57 Cal. 2d 838] and ordinarily it cannot be determined which of them were operative in a specific case. Among these factors are bruising of the bladder during the necessary separation of the uterus from the bladder, sutures or ligatures in the wall of the bladder to control bleeding caused in the separation, infection present in the cervix of the uterus and the vaginal vault adjacent to the bladder, and the tissue reaction of the individual to surgery and suture materials. Tissue reaction may be affected by previously existent weakness of the area, impairment of the blood supply in the area, and prior X-ray treatment administered to any part of the patient's body. (About one year prior to the hysterectomy, plaintiff had X-ray therapy in connection with the treatment of a malignancy of the breast.)
There is nothing to indicate that if the fistula was caused by any of the factors listed above or any combination of them the injury sustained by plaintiff was a result of negligence.
Another possible cause of a fistula recognized by the medical witnesses is an inadvertent suture from the vault of the vagina through the full thickness of the wall of the bladder. There was no evidence that this occurred. Dr. Weber and Dr. Jones denied that such a suture was placed and testified that the bladder and the vagina were kept well apart during the suturing.
[3] Plaintiff's testimony that Dr. Weber told her that he must have put a suture through the "flap of the bladder" which caused the fistula cannot properly be regarded as showing a probability of negligence. The medical testimony is undisputed that it is necessary during the course of the operation to suture the part of the peritoneum which is referred to as the "bladder flap," and that this cannot cause a fistula. The statement ascribed to Dr. Weber by plaintiff cannot reasonably be interpreted as an admission that he probably by inadvertence sutured not only through the "bladder flap" but also through the wall of the bladder. Moreover, there was uncontradicted evidence that it is not possible that in suturing the "bladder flap" the bladder would be injured in the place where the fistula developed, because that part of the bladder is too far removed from the place where the suturing of the "bladder flap" occurs during an operation.
[4a] It is obvious that neither the cause of plaintiff's fistula nor the question whether, in the light of past experience, it was probably the result of negligence by defendants is a matter of common knowledge among laymen. None of [57 Cal. 2d 839] the witnesses testified that anything was done during the operation which was contrary to good medical practice. No medical witness testified that in the rare cases where fistulas occur they are more probably than not the result of negligence. As we have seen, the testimony was that they are considered an inherent risk of the operation and that they may occur where the operation is performed carefully and in accordance with proper practice.
[5] Plaintiff relies on an affirmative answer of Dr. Weber to the question whether it was true that most of the time when a gynecologist exercises that degree of skill and care ordinarily exercised by reputable gynecologists a fistula does not follow a hysterectomy. However, in his answer Dr. Weber stressed by way of explanation that a fistula is not a common complication, and, when considered in its entirety, the answer means only that fistulas are a rare complication and does not mean that, when this unusual event does occur, there is a probability that it was caused by negligence rather than the various factors not involving negligence which were mentioned by Dr. Weber and the other medical witnesses.
[6] The fact that a particular injury suffered by a patient as the result of an operation is something that rarely occurs does not in itself prove that the injury was probably caused by the negligence of those in charge of the operation. (Wickoff v. James, 159 Cal. App. 2d 664, 669 [324 P.2d 661]; Salgo v. Leland Stanford etc. Board Trustees, 154 Cal. App. 2d 560, 569- 571 [317 P.2d 170]; Dees v. Pace, supra, 118 Cal. App. 2d 284, 289.) Language to the contrary in Valentine v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, 194 Cal. App. 2d 282, 287 [15 Cal. Rptr. 26], and McDonald v. Foster Memorial Hospital, 170 Cal. App. 2d 85, 102 [338 P.2d 607], is disapproved.
[7] To permit an inference of negligence under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur solely because an uncommon complication develops would place too great a burden upon the medical profession and might result in an undesirable limitation on the use of operations or new procedures involving an inherent risk of injury even when due care is used. Where risks are inherent in an operation and an injury of a type which is rare does occur, the doctrine should not be applicable unless it can be said that, in the light of past experience, such an occurrence is more likely the result of negligence than some cause for which the defendant is not responsible.
[4b] Since it cannot be said that the development of the fistula was more probably than not the result of negligence of [57 Cal. 2d 840] the defendants, the trial court correctly concluded that the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur was not applicable.
The judgments are affirmed.
Traynor, J., Schauer, J., McComb, J., Peters, J., White, J., and Dooling, J., concurred.
FN *. In Dees v. Pace, 118 Cal. App. 2d 284, 289 [257 P.2d 756], a malpractice action based, as in the present case, on the development of a fistula after a hysterectomy, it is stated: "[T]he undisputed expert testimony shows that a fistula is a recognized hazard in all hysterectomies, one of the calculated risks; and while it does not occur very often from any cause, it may occur where the operation is performed under ideal conditions by the most skillful surgeon without negligence on his part."

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel sends stern message to Premier League over five substitutes rule
Chelsea will play for the ninth and final time in December on Wednesday when they face Brighton and their brutal schedule comes to an end.
It has been a full-on month for Thomas Tuchel's men, with seven Premier League games, a Carabao Cup win over Brentford and a trip to Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League all taking place.
Add a Covid outbreak at the club's training ground to all those games played, it has been a very demanding period for the Blues, who have just about kept themselves in the race for the Premier League title, reached a League Cup semi final and secured a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Revealed: Nominees for the FIFA Best Football Awards
Festive football is always the busiest time of the footballing calendar and 2021 has been no different, with a number of top flight managers questioning the number of games being played, especially with the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic seeing games called off.
Chelsea are one of only four teams in the Premier League to have played 19 games so far this season as we reach the halfway stage alongside Man City, Newcastle and Arsenal. The Blues wanted that number to be 18, only for their request to have the 0-0 draw with Wolves postponed refused by the League.
Head coach Tuchel has not taken issue as such with the schedule, effectively saying "it is what it is" and that his team has to deal with it. But one thing the German has been very vocal on is the three substitution rule, with Tuchel wanting that increased to five.
When football was being played behind closed doors amid the first Covid lockdown, five substitutes were allowed for the remainder of the 2019/20 season but that was only a temporary measure and reverted to three last season and for this.
Tuchel has again spoken out on the rule and re-iterated his stance that he believes five substitutes are needed as the Omicron variant of Coronavirus swept through the Premier League.
"I have no solution for the schedule and all the appointments we have to play, but for me the schedule is not a problem," Tuchel said ahead of the Blues' game with Brighton.
"For me, we are in a situation where so many teams struggle, it's not only us, other teams have postponed matches, some of them have two postponed matches.
"So now we are in the middle of it, and I get the feeling everybody is refusing it, not even thinking about it, or refusing to think about it.
"But this is for me the only logical step to do this, because everybody is affected by Covid and you need more possibilities to protect the players and to share the minutes.
"This is my opinion and I will not stop standing up for it."

Rick Baker's Thoughts | Without stress there can be no Self-confidence.
Without stress there can be no Self-confidence.
Self-confidence is built, over time, as stressful thoughts and situations are faced and dealt with.
'Stressors' bring learning experiences that test self-confidence. The capacity to handle situations expands with experience. As increasingly-stressful learning experiences are handled, self-confidence grows.
Without successful handling of stressors self-confidence has no chance to grow.


Good food but not outstanding and a little overpriced. We had their full English which came in the frying pan and the fried chicken and bacon on waffles with maple syrup, which was over sweet. Syrup served separately would have been better. The long black coffee was ok but came in a short little cup. Their cakes looked really nice but we didn't have any. The atmosphere was nice and along with the trendy decor, it's a pleasant place to have breakfast.
I love Yorks, but disappointed with my visit today. My first server was amazing and really friendly, the food was great but was distracted by the slightly too loud background music and the slamming of the front door. After getting a second drink, I noticed around 10 small flies all on the open air cakes - in particular the coconut and gooseberry slices! Has put me off having anything open air now - stick to the food off the menu! Other than that great cafe in a great location. Usually 10/10!
Taste: Quite enjoyed the overall taste of the food. I had the avocado feta toast which was seasoned well and i managed to finish it easily. There wasn't much on the plate to begin with really /: Service: Horrendous. The ladies at the counter didnt even acknowledge us when we walked in let alone say hello or guide us to seats/menus. We stood around looking confused after seeing no available seating on the ground floor for probably 20 seconds until the woman told us there was seating downstairs. Overall did not feel welcome from the second i walked in and its a shame because the food was decent.
A nice city centre cafe with aspirations of being a restaurant. The food is pretty good. The cakes are fantastic. The coffee is good, but not always well made. Still, one of the best places to go in the city centre ☕ ????????????
I come here at least 3 times a week whilst working away in Birmingham. Everything from the coffee, food, venue and staff are amazing. They roast their own coffee beans here and the baristas know how to make an amazing flat white. The cakes are delicious too, many of which are vegan (which I didn't think I'd like). Definitely one the best independant coffee shops in Birmingham Central. Come here for a quick chat, meeting or just to get work done, it's a winner!

Why you should use a kitchen scale, according to experts — plus 11 options to shop
Experts say the gadget may help you lose weight and become a better cook.

Unlike common tools like spatulas, pans and baking sheets, food scales probably aren't high on your list of must-have kitchen gadgets. But according to experts, they can make cooking at home a whole lot easier.
"People should think of a scale as a basic kitchen tool, not just something for professional cooks," said chef Meredith Laurence of Blue Jean Chef.
The gadget can help you perfect recipes, minimize kitchen messes and even lose weight. That's why Shop TODAY consulted a handful of pros to get their insights on how you should be using a food scale in your own kitchen.
Why should you buy a food scale?
Have you ever made a recipe that came out perfectly the first time, but a total failure the next? It was likely because your measurements were off.
"The biggest advantage to using a scale is accuracy and consistency," Laurence said. "By using volume measures [like measuring cups], you could measure some ingredients, like flour, 10 times and have different amounts [each time] based on how compressed the flour is. When you weigh an ingredient, it's the same amount every time."
They're particularly helpful in baking where precise measurements are key, added chef Elena Besser. Meaning anyone who started making sourdough or banana bread over the last few years could benefit from having one on hand.
It also simplifies the cooking process, Besser said, since it eliminates the need to use (and then clean) multiple measuring cups. "You can measure everything in one bowl; you just have to tare it in between," she said.
Using a food scale for weight loss
When trying to lose weight, one of the best things you can do is adjust your portion sizes to fit your needs, said Samantha Cassetty, a registered dietician and wellness expert based in New York City. "A food scale is the most precise way to measure portion sizes," she said. "It will save you time, since you won't have to count out your nuts or chips, and you won't have to try to guess what a two-ounce serving of pasta or a four-ounce serving of salmon looks like."
Some scales will also tell you the amount of calories and macronutrients in foods, which can be helpful if you're trying to reduce your calorie intake to lose weight, she said.
"You might also notice that with a better understanding of portion sizes and how various foods impact your hunger and fullness, you make different decisions about what to eat outside of your home," Cassetty said. "For example, if you're ordering takeout, you might pass up the pasta dish that's triple or quadruple the standard 2-ounce portion and choose something more balanced instead."
While it can be a helpful weight loss tool for some, Cassetty adds a note of caution: Weighing food can be tedious and time-consuming, which isn't always worth it. And, for certain people, it can lead to problematic thinking around food. "If weighing your food interferes with your enjoyment of eating or your ability to socialize or participate in everyday experiences, it's not the right tool for you," she said.
Expert-approved food scales
OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Food Scale
Laurence recommended this scale for a few reasons: The stainless steel surface is durable and easy to clean and the digital screen makes it easy to read in low light spaces or when the sun is glaring. Plus, the display can be pulled out, so it won't get blocked when you're measuring big bowls or plates.
Taylor 11-Pound Eco-Bamboo Platform Digital Food Scale
Tracy Wilk, a chef instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education, uses this scale in her own kitchen. She appreciates the 11-pound weight capacity (which is great for home use) and the chic wooden design. The scale converts between pounds and grams and has an auto shut-off feature to preserve battery life.
Escali Primo Digital Kitchen Scale
Besser said this is her go-to scale, thanks to its ability to zero-out weight and switch between ounces and grams. "It comes in a lot of really fun colors too, like pink and tarragon green," she said. "So it's a nice little accent piece to have in your kitchen."
It's also thin, she added, which makes it easy to slide into drawers and stow away.
Zwilling Scale
Besser also recommended this scale from Zwilling. While she noted that it's more expensive than others, its clean design will look sleek on your kitchen counter. It has a 22-pound weight capacity, so you can weigh anything from large cuts of meat to bulk dough preparations.
Williams Sonoma Touchless Tare Waterproof Scale
If you're weighing liquids, Besser suggested this waterproof option from Williams Sonoma. You won't have to worry about spills. Plus, it has a touchless tare function that lets you zero it out with the wave of a hand — which is perfect for when yours are messy. (You won't have to worry if you do make a mess, though, since it's easy to clean.)

The National Women's Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kate Gyamfuah has charged Ghanaians to stop complaining about the current state of the economy saying no government will serve Ghanaians fufu and light soup every day or will build houses and ask them to occupy such facilities for free.
To quote her words: "Ghana is hard for those who are lazy". She was addressing market women in Kumasi Atonsu as part of 2nd Lady Hajia Samira Bawumia's tour of the Ashanti Region.
Ghanaians have criticized Nana Addo's administration over its failure to stabilize the economy with many complaining of hardships. Yesterday, NPP MP for Assin said Christmas under this government is "dry" and there is no money.
But Kate Gyamfuah who was addressing traders at Atonsu Market in the Ashanti Region as part of 2nd Lady's tour in the region, said Nana Addo's government has implemented policies which will help change fortunes of Ghana.
Kate Gyamfuah however charged Ghanaians not to vote for NDC party in the 2020 elections arguing that the NDC party is fighting for power to create loot and share and to once again mess the economy with their incompetence.

Лабурдан (, ) или Лапурди () — одна из семи баскских земель, лежащая вдоль побережья Бискайского залива между реками Атуру (на севере) и Бидасоа (на юге).

Территория — приблизительно 900 км². Население — около 200 000 жителей, причём каждый четвёртый говорит по-баскски (лапурдский диалект).

Исторический центр — Юстарис, самый крупный город — Байонна. Административно входит в департамент Атлантические Пиренеи (Франция).

История
По сообщению Страбона, эту часть Аквитании в древности населяло племя тарбелов, у которых была гавань в Лапурде (Lapurdum) на месте современной Байонны. В IX—X вв. побережье Лабурдана облюбовали для пиратских набегов воинственные норманны.

В 1024 г. васконский герцог Санчо VI уступил права на Лабурдан наваррскому королю Санчо III, который передал его в лен своему родственнику с титулом виконта. Затем на протяжении 170 лет за обладание Лабурданом с наваррскими королями спорили герцоги Аквитании, которые в конечном счёте и удержали его за собой.

До 1451 года Лабурдан представлял собой южную оконечность континентальных владений английских Плантагенетов и их преемников.

Яркие страницы истории лабурданских басков связаны с рыболовным промыслом у берегов Ньюфаундленда, корни которого уходят в первую половину XVI века. В 1610 году в Лабурдане развернулась самая масштабная в истории охота на ведьм, в ходе которой судья и демонолог Пьер де Ланкр постановил предать смерти на костре семь десятков баскских женщин.

Canadian embassy in Prague
This month the Canadian Ambassador to Prague Michael Calcott hosted a panel discussion at the Canadian residence recalling cooperation between Czech dissidents and Canadian officials in the years leading up to the fall of communism. During the mid-1980s, the end of the period known as the Normalisation, key officials at the embassy went out on a limb, risking careers to help dissidents and their cause, even going so far as to smuggle dissident writing, even going so far as to smuggle dissident writing (Samizdat) out of the country. Documents included everything from personal correspondence to political and philosophical tracts to novels and plays, authored by members of the dissident movement that included Vaclav Havel.
The event held at the Canadian residence was unusual since it was the first time in a quite a while that former members of the dissident movement were able to reunite with the former diplomats, some of whom they hadn't seen in years. Pierre Guimond - now the Canadian ambassador to Hungary and Slovenia - was a political officer at the Canadian Embassy in 1988. I asked Ambassador Guimond how it felt to be back in Prague and to describe the period of the Velvet Revolution he and others saw firsthand:
"These were moving days and moving times. Of course to be back in Prague - the third or fourth time since I left in 1990 - to come back and see Vaclav Havel, and Jan Urban, Karel Schwarzenberg, Petr Uhl and many others who I met on a regular basis when I was here is touching even if it wasn't about the Velvet Revolution! That period was very moving: we felt we were part of something much bigger. To be there at that time... I'm not sure we always had the big picture but we knew something massive was happening."
Until the fall of communism in 1989, the Canadian Embassy had been an important pillar of support for many Czech dissidents like Jirina Siklova and others: Jan Urban affectionately called key service officers like Mr Guimond, and his predecessor Peter Bakewell, "cowboys" for help that certainly broke at least some "written" rules of diplomatic conduct. Jan Urban even went so far as to call the October meeting an "unprecedented diplomatic coming out". But the former embassy officials made clear their decision - like that of Czech dissidents - was one of higher moral necessity. All felt the risk of being found out by the communist secret police, the StB, but said the risk of being expelled was worth it. Even if Ottawa wasn't aware of all the details, Pierre Guimond says his and other diplomats' approaches were of course consistent with Canada's aims.
"I'm not sure if a foreign government, a foreign ministry, can 'plan' activities of this sort through their ambassadors abroad. Within the policy of the government diplomats have to know where the governments want to go in terms of foreign policy and then the ambassador is responsible for delivering the policy. But it's impossible for people in the capital city to decide 'you should go to all the demonstrations, and you should do this and you should do that'.
"So, the foreign ministry knows what we do because we send regular reports. We call this result-based diplomacy. It's not event-based, it's not because we've been to 36 demonstrations that anything will happen, it's were there there because something is happening. People in Czechoslovakia told us at the time that they were very happy to see us at the demonstrations because they felt it was known outside, which now of course hardly happens in Burma. We were also very active in attending political trials, so that defendants knew that if anything would happen to them there would be protests. There was a variety of activities that we did, but the ultimate aim was to do what the Canadian government wanted us to do, which was to promote the fact that all of the communist countries had signed the Helsinki document: [armed with the facts] we could argue they were doing wrong."
Pierre Guimond's predecessor Peter Bakewell was posted to the Canadian Embassy in Prague in 1986: he also fostered close ties with dissidents like Mrs Siklova, Mr Havel, and others, and even helped smuggle texts in or out of the country in his own vehicle. This is how he described his decision to help:
Jirina Siklova
"Well it was a big decision and a tremendous amount of stress, particularly as I was not just a diplomat but also a family man and I had to think of my family when I undertook to do this kind of work. I think in the two or three years following my time in Czechoslovakia I experienced a kind of exhaustion, a physical exhaustion that was kind of a legacy of this time. But I never once regretted working with the people I worked with and made my contribution to the eventual collapse of communism, a system I grew to abhor while I was here."
According to Mr Bakewell, he and his contacts took the utmost precaution in pickups from dissidents but even so came ever so close to being caught:
"We were very, very careful about our communications both here in Prague as well as outside on the subject of moving materials backwards and forwards, and observed a high degree of security not just in Czechoslovakia but also in West Germany. We rarely met in the same place twice and contact Vilem Precan and I would move around from place to place. Here, we were even more strict.
"Jirina Sikolova, who was the essential person in Czechoslovakia, would always make sure that we met at a different place and we would move items extremely quickly. She always had two or three young strong men with her and they would be moved rapidly from my vehicle to someone else's. And I think that's why it probably took the StB quite a while to figure out what was going on. Of course, later I was shown the file the StB had on me: I was completely unaware that they had managed to figure out what was going on and it looks like I was extremely lucky that I was not expelled at that point."

Czech-Canadian Professor Marketa Goetz-Stankiewicz, a specialist in Czech as well as German and Polish literature at the University of British Columbia also became involved in the smuggling of Samizdat, almost by chance. She also kept contacts at the embassy. And says she also felt a kind of higher duty to help. Today this is how she modestly sums up her role:
"I had been teaching 19th century literature at UBC for years but actually I felt that this was somehow 'unreal', it was academic. Of course not all academic things are unreal but many of them are. And then, all of a sudden I stepped into this 'living situation' in which I felt I could possibly do something for people, for the cause. And so that's what I did.
"I got more and more involved, I felt a responsibility although I am just a little fish from Vancouver! What could I do? But still: I wrote a bit, I wrote some books into raise more awareness. That's how it went and I felt I was extremely lucky!"
JV: Certainly the Samizdat meant a great deal: on the one hand you have the literary quality of the books, the stories, the plays, on the other you have the moral relevance. How do you divide the two - if in fact you divide?
"I don't think you do divide because in the literary works that you are trying to publish or whatever that you are reading, you feel a profound moral dimension, even if it's a story, even if it's a banal story. They don't write banal stories {laughs}, well some of them... you feel a moral commitment of people. So I don't really think I had to face a situation of having to distinguish between the two: where was my moral commitment and where was the literature: they merged. They merged. "
Former president Vaclav Havel was himself one of the many guests at the Canadian residence who well remembers those days. This is how he described the recent event:
"I saw some of the people here for the first time in twenty-five or thirty years, so it even took a moment to recognise who was who. I think the event was excellent and was a reminder of an important chapter from modern history or of one aspect of the situation before the fall of the Iron Curtain. People forget or even belittle it but it really was important and the Canadian diplomats who helped us, deserve all our thanks and respect."

The West Loop Lou Malnati's pizza restaurant is steeped in history. This building has functioned as a restaurant for nearly 60 years.

Before it was turned into a deep dish haven it was home to the Breakfast Queen herself, Ina Pinkney. Before Ina, the Panagakos family owned it for 44 years. While the function of the building has never changed, the aesthetic and surroundings have certainly evolved over the years. Once lined with horses and rail lines, these days Randolph Street is known as Restaurant Row and lined with Chicago's best restaurants. If you can't make it to our restaurant, we deliver to the nearby neighborhoods of Greek Town, West Town, and Little Italy.
But what makes our deep dish pizza so special? Allow us to elaborate on our fresh ingredients and traditional family recipe. First comes fresh, hand-pressed dough that is raised up high on the sides of a seasoned pizza pan. Next, we add in tasty mozzarella cheese that has been sourced from the Wisconsin Dairy for over 40 years! And lastly, our authentic tomato sauce, made with California vine-ripened tomatoes, is added to the mix. Once baked, feel free to devour multiple slices of the most amazing deep dish pizza that Chicago has to offer.
West Loop is one of the fastest-growing Chicago neighborhoods.
Conveniently located near the United Center, our West Loop restaurant acts as a great starting point for a fun-filled evening prior to enjoying a Blackhawks or Bulls game.

'Sad Day for American Retail': Sears Declares Bankruptcy
Company hopes to keep some stores open
Posted Oct 15, 2018 3:10 AM CDT
70 comments Comments
This March 1, 1959 photo shows a Sears building in downtown Houston. (Houston Chronicle via AP, File)
(Newser) – A $134 million debt payment due Monday was the final straw for the business Richard Warren Sears started in 1886. Sears, an American institution for many years, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection early Monday, CNN reports. The company, which also owns Kmart, says it plans to remain in business through the holiday season, keeping profitable stores open, along with online businesses, but it's not clear whether a viable company will be able to emerge from the bankruptcy process, reports the AP. The filing follow years of bad news for the company, which had been struggling with huge debts, falling sales, and major losses. Its share price has gone from a high of around $141 in early 2007 to less than 50 cents today.
Sears, described by CNN as "both the Walmart and Amazon of its time," was once America's largest retailer, but struggled along with many others as shopping habits changed. "It's a sad day for American retail," Craig Johnson of the Customer Growth Partners retail consulting firm tells the New York Times. "There are generations of people who grew up on Sears and now it's not relevant. When you are in the retail business, it's all about newness. But Sears stopped innovating." As part of the bankruptcy filing, Sears said it will be closing another 142 stores by the end of the year, on top of the 42 closures announced in August. Hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, who promised years ago to bring back the glory days of Sears, has resigned as CEO but will remain as chairman. (Read more Sears stories.)

That really is sad. They were THE store...


The simple truth of the matter is that UHF spectrum is under continuous threat, and to understand why, we don't have to look much further than the mobile telephone. All of us own one of these devices – or two in some cases – with the primary purpose of consuming digital content in one form or another. In other words, the mobile phone is no longer just a mobile phone, and subsequently, data consumption has sky-rocketed.
The sharp increase in demand for greater mobile bandwidth resulted in big changes to how UHF spectrum is allocated in an on-going saga beginning when analogue TV services switched to digital transmission. When analogue TV switched off in 2012, the immediate assumption was that this process would free up large portions of spectrum, and subsequently, it could be sold for a profit to the highest bidder. The first to go was UHF 790 - 862 MHz (otherwise known as the 800 MHz band), which was auctioned off for use by next-gen 4G mobile data services.
The graph above clearly demonstrates a significant impact on wireless microphone operators. Where previously we had access from 470 - 862 MHz, major events must now fit the same large channel count of wireless systems into the much smaller range of 470 - 694 MHz once the second wave is cleared over the coming years. Consequently, the chance for interference is much greater than in previous years, making a solid understanding of how to correctly coordinate and deploy wireless systems more important than ever.
We explain why wireless microphone operators are facing an increasingly congested future with higher risk of RF interference.

Drone photography is set to revolutionize many industries by opening up exciting new possibilities that would have been virtually impossible otherwise.
Drone photography and videography coverage, for instance, is currently the hottest new trend in the wedding industry.
More and more couples are adding drones to their dream wedding must-haves, and due to rising demand, many photographers are now adding drone services to their wedding packages.
From affordable entry-level options to expensive, cutting-edge equipment, there is sure to be a drone out there for your needs. But before we get into that, let's talk about where you can buy them.
Drones are widely available and can be purchased at places like Best Buy or Walmart. However, online stores like Adorama or Amazon usually have a larger selection of brands and models, so you may want to check those options as well.
Thinking of drone photography as a way to diversify your wedding coverage services?
which drone should you buy?
When choosing a drone, remember that it must be able to carry the combined weight of your camera and other accessories. Quadcopters can handle action cameras and other lightweight cameras, while hexacopters or octocopters are recommended for heavier cameras like DSLRs.
For camera stabilization, you need something with a two or three-axis gimbal system. This is built-in for some models like the DJI Phantom 3 Professional, but with other brands, you may need to purchase a gimbal system separately. Gimbals also allow you to rotate your camera independently without affecting the trajectory of the drone, so you can take seamless panoramic shots without having to turn the aircraft.
With drones, you get what you pay for. Cheaper drones are priced that way for a reason, and when it's your business and professional reputation on the line, you definitely don't want to skimp. Invest in a powerful, highly reliable drone that has the important features you need, and then some. Professional high-end drone models usually start at $500 and can go as high as upwards of $30,000.
If you are located in the United States and plan to offer drone services within the country, you will need to get licensed, registered, and certified.
As of February 16, 2016, federal law requires that all drones that weigh over 0.55 lbs. must be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Getting drone insurance will save you a lot of money down the line, so do not skip this step. Aside from covering your damage and liability costs, getting insured may also help you land more clients, as some may refuse to hire you if you are not properly insured.
Drone photography - take off!
Now you're ready to take to the skies! Drone photography for weddings may seem daunting, but don't be afraid to invest the time, energy, and effort to prepare yourself and your business for it. It will be well worth the investment!
CBS This Morning reports on the growing number of drones being used in weddings and the regulations that are now being required.

Alt-Right Protesters Are Planning a 'March on Google'

It's been a rough summer for Google. The company is under investigation by the Department of Justice for allegedly systematically underpaying its female employees, it's facing a potential lawsuit from over 60 former workers, and now, just a few days after the tech giant fired James Damore for his anti-diversity memo, members of the alt-right have announced a "March on Google" on August 19.
The protest is being organized by alt-right activist Jack Posobiec, and "a coalition of free speech activists around the United States." According to the March on Google website:
Google is a monopoly, and its abusing its power to silence dissent and manipulate election results.
Their company YouTube is censoring and silencing dissenting voices by creating "ghettos" for videos questioning the dominant narrative.
Posobiec called James Damore's dismissal a "flashpoint." The engineer was fired after his internal memo, which argued, among other gems, that women are biologically ill-equipped to lead, was leaked by Motherboard and went viral.
Since his firing, Damore has become a darling of the alt-right, who believe that Google censors far-right content, and Damore's first interview after being let go was with alt-right YouTuber and men's-rights activist Stefan Molyneux.
As of now, protests are expected to take place at Google offices in Mountain View, New York City, Washington, D.C., Austin, and Boston.
