Uber Doesn't Think Its Drivers Are a Core Part of Its Business
The company seemed to flout a California bill that could totally overhaul its contractor workforce.

The California legislature passed a major workers' rights bill Wednesday, which will require employers to classify workers as employees instead of contractors if they pass certain requirements. But as one of the most high-profile companies to be affected by the new rule, Uber isn't prepared to play along. In a statement released after AB5's passage, Uber's Chief Legal Officer Tony West said the company is confident their drivers will be able to escape the restrictive new policy, because they don't consider the drivers—seemingly the single most important contributors to Uber's ride-sharing service—to be doing work that's within the company's "usual course." "Under [AB5's] three-part test, arguably the highest bar is that a company must prove that contractors are doing work 'outside the usual course' of its business," West said. "But just because the test is hard does not mean we will not be able to pass it. In fact, several previous rulings have found that drivers' work is outside the usual course of Uber's business, which is serving as a technology platform for several different types of digital marketplaces."
West emphasized in his statement that Uber "continue[s] to believe drivers are properly classified as independent," and noted that the new regulations, which California Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign into law, will "not automatically reclassify any ride-share drivers from independent contractors to employees." Uber has long railed against the idea of considering its drivers as employees, arguing that doing so "would fundamentally change what Uber and ridesharing is." The company has suggested that classifying drivers as employees would result in getting rid of the flexibility that Uber's current business model allows, forcing set shifts on drivers, hiring fewer drivers, and prohibiting them from working in areas or during hours that are particularly low-demand. (California Labor Federation spokesman Steve Smith described this scenario as a "corporate scare tactic" to ABC10, saying that nothing in the labor code would forbid flexibility.) But California legislators have so far refused to listen to Uber's protestations, rejecting a proposed compromise and adding extra enforcement provisions directly after West told Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, the bill's author, that Uber wouldn't reclassify its workforce and would mount a legal challenge. "I thought a lot about that conversation and thought how unfair it is for any company in California to sit in a legislator's office and say we don't care what you do, we're going to break the law," Gonzalez said in a news conference after the bill's passage.
Uber, of course, isn't the only company who will be affected by the potential law, which would take effect in January 2020 and could grant additional rights to at least one million contracted workers. Though some professions have been exempted from the measure, such as doctors, insurance agents, and real estate agents, concerns have also been raised about contractors ranging from religious leaders to newspaper delivery workers. And Uber's tech competitors, including Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart, also aren't thrilled about the legislation—though, unlike Uber, none have yet brazenly announced themselves to be above its demands. "Today, our state's political leadership missed an opportunity to support the overwhelming majority of rideshare drivers who want a thoughtful solution that balances flexibility with an earnings standard and benefits," Lyft spokesman Adrian Durbin said in a statement, while an Instacart statement said the bill "missed the mark." "We remain committed to working with the Governor, legislators, labor advocates, and the voters of California towards a better solution for all Californians," the company's statement said.
Should Uber's current confidence not pan out, reclassifying their California workforce would be the latest financial blow to the already-weakened tech company, which is still reeling after their "train wreck" IPO in May. The company's second quarter earnings marked Uber's largest-ever loss, and the company slashed its workforce by 8% in a new round of layoffs earlier this week. Of course, there still could be hope: Newsom said Wednesday that there are still "ongoing negotiations" with Uber and Lyft about a potential deal, and the ride-sharing companies are currently bankrolling a potential ballot measure asking Californians to support added benefits for ride-share drivers while retaining the flexibility of their contractor designation. But the fact that Uber's lobbying efforts weren't enough to stop AB5 is a failure in itself. "Hopefully they'll frame the narrative better and be more proactive as new states take up the issue," regulatory adviser Bradley Tusk told CNN, saying that Uber took "a passive, slow approach to AB5 and it hurt them." "[But the fact] that these companies could not avert this bill through their lobbying and power reveals that their goodwill among the public and politicians has eroded."

"I'm a Terrible Person": Behind the Epic Meltdown That Ended Travis Kalanick
At the height of Uber's public relations nightmare, executives were confronted with a new crisis: telling their boss, Travis Kalanick, that he was poisoning the company's brand. Kalanick exploded—and then began to spiral. As Mike Isaac reports in Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, it was the beginning of the end.

Robert Love Taylor (* 31. Juli 1850 im Carter County, Tennessee; † 31. März 1912 in Washington, D.C.) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker und mehrfacher Gouverneur von Tennessee. Außerdem vertrat er diesen Bundesstaat in beiden Kammern des Kongresses.

Frühe Jahre und politischer Aufstieg
Taylor wurde in eine Politikerfamilie hineingeboren. Sein Onkel war Vorsitzender (Speaker) des Parlaments von Tennessee, sein Vater Nathaniel Green Taylor war Abgeordneter im Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten und Indianerbeauftragter (Commissioner of Indian Affairs) unter Präsident Andrew Johnson. Bei Ausbruch des Bürgerkriegs verließ die Familie Tennessee und zog über Philadelphia nach Washington. 1869, nach dem Ende der Präsidentschaft von Johnson, zog die Familie nach Happy Valley in Tennessee zurück. Robert besuchte das Pennington Seminary in New Jersey sowie das Buffalo Institute in Milligan und verdiente sich nebenbei das benötigte Geld durch Aushilfsarbeiten auf Farmen oder im Holzgeschäft. Anschließend studierte er Jura in Jonesboro und wurde 1878 als Anwalt zugelassen. Er praktizierte in Elizabethton und Jonesboro.

Seine politische Karriere begann ebenfalls 1878, als er für die Demokratische Partei ins Repräsentantenhaus in Washington gewählt wurde. Dort absolvierte er von 1879 bis 1881 nur eine Amtszeit, weil er seinen Sitz bei der nächsten Wahl nicht verteidigen konnte. Ein weiterer Versuch, in den Kongress zurückzukehren, scheiterte 1882 ebenfalls; damit ist Taylor bis heute der letzte Demokrat, der für Tennessees ersten Kongresswahlbezirk ins US-Repräsentantenhaus einzog. In der Zwischenzeit widmete er sich seiner Anwaltskanzlei und versuchte sich erfolglos im Zeitungsgeschäft. Bei der Präsidentschaftswahl von 1884 saß er als Wahlmann für Grover Cleveland im Electoral College; wenig später wurde er mit dem Posten eines Pension Agent in Knoxville bedacht.

Gouverneur von Tennessee
1887 wurde Taylor demokratischer Kandidat für die Gouverneurswahlen von Tennessee. Sein Gegenkandidat war ausgerechnet sein eigener Bruder Alfred, der der Republikanischen Partei angehörte. Der Wahlkampf wurde als die "Tennessee-Version" der englischen Rosenkriege des 15. Jahrhunderts bezeichnet. Tatsächlich trugen die Anhänger der beiden Parteien eine rote bzw. eine weiße Rose. Robert Taylor gewann schließlich die Wahl. Sein Bruder wurde 1920 ebenfalls zum Gouverneur gewählt, acht Jahre nach Roberts Tod.

Robert Taylor hatte insgesamt drei Amtszeiten als Gouverneur. Die ersten beiden waren zusammenhängend und dauerten von 1887 bis 1891, später folgte noch die Amtszeit von 1897 bis 1899. Herausragende Ereignisse seiner Amtszeiten waren eine Verschärfung der Wählerbesteuerung (Poll Tax). Damit wurde es für Ärmere immer schwieriger, das Wahlrecht auszuüben, das an die Steuer gebunden war. Ein Prohibitionsgesetz für Tennessee wurde zurückgenommen. In seiner letzten Amtszeit fand 1897 die große Tennessee-Ausstellung zur Einhundertjahrfeier des Staates statt. Eigentlich wäre die Feier bereits 1896 fällig gewesen, aus organisatorischen Gründen konnte sie aber erst 1897 stattfinden.

Lebensabend und Tod
Nach dem Ende der ersten beiden Amtszeiten war sein Gesundheitszustand angeschlagen, aber er erholte sich schnell und verdiente sich als Anwalt in Chattanooga sowie durch Vorträge sein Einkommen. Das Gleiche wiederholte sich nach dem Ende seiner letzten Amtszeit 1899. Mehrere Versuche, in den US-Kongress gewählt zu werden, scheiterten, bevor es ihm 1907 dann doch gelang, einen Sitz im US-Senat zu erringen. Dort verblieb er bis zu seinem Tod am 31. März 1912.

Mortgage rates are at an all-time low, and this is a great time to refinance your second property if you have a vacation property or an investment house. This can cause your property to become more affordable, and you are able to borrow money at a historically low rate. When it comes to mortgage rates, a reduction of just one percent can be the difference of thousands of your dollars.
It's not difficult to refinance your second property, but getting approved for your mortgage has become a lot more complicated than it was in the past. This is thanks to the housing crisis, and you can expect to provide a lot more information to your lender, such as tax returns, bank statements, or proof of your income. This is to ensure that you will be able to repay the loan over the allotted timeframe.
When you refinance your second property, interest rates will be higher than on your primary residence. They aren't too far off though, and you may only pay about .25% more. That does add up, but it is far from an entire percentage point, which is what an investment property usually differs in.
There are always other factors to consider, such as fees and pricing adjustment, but in general when you choose to refinance your second property you will likely be paying slightly more in interest.
If you want to refinance your second property it is imperative that you have equity in it, and it should be at least 20%. This differs from the standard for primary residences, as people will often qualify for Federal Housing Administration loans to give them financing aid and provide them with equity requirements that are more lenient. If you don't quite have 20% equity it may be difficult to refinance your second property, but it is possible. There are lenders that will allow a minimum of 10% equity, but you will likely pay a lot extra for the opportunity.
The cost between a vacation home and an investment property is very different, and there are very specific rules about what makes a house fall into which category.
If the income you receive from renting the property is required to pay the necessary mortgage payment, it is considered an investment home. If you can pay your mortgage payments without the income from the house, then it is a second home.
To be dubbed a second home, the property must be somewhat far away from your permanent home, usually at least fifty miles. If it is close, but is an obvious vacation spot (such as a beach or a ski resort), then it may be exempt from the fifty mile rule.
If the house is ordinary and close to you, it will probably be considered an investment property, because there is no apparent reason that it would differ from your primary home.
You will need to occupy the property at least once during the year in order for the home to be considered a vacation property.
Second homes cannot be multiplexes since these are often rented, must be one unit, and no management companies may be involved in your property. They must also be obviously appropriate for occupancy all year.
Investment homes are a lot more expensive and are more of a challenge to finance. This is due to the fact that the income you receive from renting out the space is a factor in the mortgage qualifications. Should this income be interrupted, your mortgage payments will likely suffer. It's also worth pointing out that people are less likely to feel attached to the rental property on the other side of town. They are far more likely to be deeply invested in the vacation property where they celebrate holidays and have family reunions. Because of these emotional ties, borrowers are not as likely to default on these properties.
Sometimes people who rent their homes out try to get around the law, and will buy the house as their primary residence. It is required that you report the cash you receive from renting out your investment property. It is also common for people to try to pass their investment home off as a vacation property. This isn't as easy as it sounds, and the lenders will go as far as to examine your monthly bills and records to verify that it is indeed a second home.
If you are fortunate enough to have a second home, this is a perfect time to refinance your second property and you will be so glad you took advantage of these rates while they are still low. You could save thousands! It is unlikely that rates will remain this low, and it is such a great opportunity if you are in a position to take advantage of the benefits.

Q: How can I display times between start and end time Supposed to be, I have start and end time.
Given Example:
var startTime = '12:30 PM';
var endTime = '03:00 AM';

Now, I want to display the time between that range with 5 minutes interval, 3 hours additional time from startTime and minus 1 hour for the endTime. So the sample result based on the given time range will be:
03:30 PM
03:35 PM
03:40 PM
03:45 PM
03:50 PM
03:55 PM
04:00 PM
04:05 PM
....
....
02:00 AM

First time to display will be 03:30 PM because 12:30 PM + 3 hours = 03:30 PM
And the last time to display will be 02:00 AM because 03:00 AM - 1 hour = 02:00 AM
I'm using moment.js. Here's my code:
var startTime = '12:30 PM';
var endTime = '03:00 AM';

var startTime2 = '12:30 PM';
var endTime2 = '05:00 PM';

console.log(intervals(startTime, endTime));      // this is not working
console.log(intervals(startTime2, endTime2));    // this is working

function intervals(start, end) {
  var start = moment(start, 'hh:mm a').add(3, 'h');
  var end = moment(end, 'hh:mm a').subtract(1, 'h');

  var result = [];
  var current = moment(start);
  while (current <= end) {
    result.push(current.format('hh:mm a'));
    current.add(5, 'minutes');
  }
  return result;
}

My Problem is that, if the given time
var startTime = '12:30 PM';
var endTime = '03:00 AM';

will not work. It only works if the given time will be
var startTime2 = '12:30 PM';
var endTime2 = '05:00 PM';

I think the problem is because of PM-AM periods. How can we solve that? Please help.

A: Just have this one condition as well:
  if(end < start)
    end = end.add(1, 'd');

Check the complete code below:

var startTime = '12:30 PM';
var endTime = '03:00 AM';

var startTime2 = '12:30 PM';
var endTime2 = '05:00 PM';

console.log(intervals(startTime, endTime));      // this is not working
console.log(intervals(startTime2, endTime2));    // this is working

function intervals(start, end) {
  var start = moment(start, 'hh:mm a').add(3, 'h');
  var end = moment(end, 'hh:mm a').subtract(1, 'h');
  if(end < start)
    end = end.add(1, 'd');
  var result = [];
  var current = moment(start);
  while (current <= end) {
    result.push(current.format('hh:mm a'));
    current.add(5, 'minutes');
  }
  return result;
}

Chris Lynn's KKR campaign in doubt after shoulder injury
Published : Apr 10, 2017, 4:24 pm IST
Updated : Apr 10, 2017, 4:26 pm IST
If the dislocation is confirmed, it will be the 3rd injury to the same shoulder in less than two years for Chris Lynn.

Mumbai: Australian batsman Chris Lynn's Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign appears to be in doubt after he suffered yet another shoulder injury during the Kolkata Knight Riders' four-wicket defeat to Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium here last evening.
Lynn sustained the injury when he dived forward in an effort to claim an outfield catch to dismiss England batsman Jos Buttler.
The 27-year-old immediately grabbed his shoulder on impact before being attended to by Knight Riders' physio Andrew Leipus.
He left the ground clutching his left arm close to his body and was later seen with an ice pack strapped to his shoulder.
Following the match, Lynn took to Twitter and wrote, "Dear Cricket Gods, did I do something wrong?," adding further evidence to likelihood that he has dislocated his left shoulder.
Reflecting on the same, Brisbane Heat general manager Andrew McShea said that the Big Bash League (BBL) club is seeking further information about the extent of the injury to Lynn.
"We'll stay in close contact through this initial process as we get an idea of what the extent of the injury is and what the options are for him. It's unfortunate for Chris to sustain another injury to the shoulder that has troubled him in the past. It's not the sort of birthday you would wish for, and the best wishes of the club and our fans go out to him." ESPNcricinfo quoted McShea as saying.
If the dislocation is confirmed, it will be the third injury to the same shoulder in less than two years for the Queenslander.
The Australian batsman made an impressive start to his IPL campaign, scoring an innings of 93 not out against Gujarat Lions which was followed by a rapid 32 when Knight Riders batted first against Mumbai Indians.
Earlier, Lynn had missed the first half of the 2016-17 season after dislocating the same shoulder in Sri Lanka last year, while his BBL campaign was also cut short due to a neck problem. He was also forced to miss the 2015 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup owing to dislocation of his left shoulder.

Home Reviews Anime Reviews Anime Review: Mirai (2018) by Mamoru Hosoda
Director Mamoru Hosoda, founder of production house Studio Chizu, has brought us some very compelling and imaginative anime films during the latest years like "The Boy and The Beast" and "Wolf Children", and even techno-savvy "Summer Wars", that had a strong family presence in the background. "Mirai" is no exception in facing yet another aspect of family life and it takes it further exploring what makes one and ultimately, what makes us the way we are.
"Mirai" is screening at Anime Film Festival 2019
Kun is a happy boy. He has young and dynamic parents, owns a lovely dog Yukko and lives in a funky modernist house, designed by his architect dad, complete with an enclosed garden. He also has a playroom all for himself that he likes to fill with train sets, which he loves and whose names he knows by heart.
But this idyllic order of things will be soon disrupted by the arrival of little baby sister Mirai. Mum and dad do their best to share love and care equally, but babies are suckers for attention and Kun will inevitably feel excluded. To make things worse, mum is going back to work very soon, leaving dad in charge of home duties and baby caring.
Too many changes too quickly for Kun and his frustration resolves in bouts of tantrums and naughty violence against baby Mirai. Kun is angry and frustrated, he doesn't know what is happening in his life but sure it hurts a lot! But one day, the pressure of all these emotions become too hard to bear and something magical happens in the garden under the oak tree. Kun starts to experience some visions and visits from another dimension. First is Yukko the dog in a funny human form that explains the boy the meaning of jealousy. Yukko too had his fair share of it when Kun was born and was taking all the attentions away from him. Kun seems reassured at first but it is just a little step forward; soon enough, some sorts of anxiety or disappointment reappear. And every time this happens, someone comes to visit him. There is a teenager version of Mirai coming from the future, a child version of his mum, a young version of his great-grandfather and so on. Every one of them is a little part of Kun family history and they are all leaves of the family tree, whose spirit is living in the thick and lush oak tree in Kun's garden.
"Mirai" has a very relatable story; many of us have been there at some point, either as a sibling or as a parent. I found myself remembering exactly the feelings of seeing my baby brother for the first time and having – like Kun – that fit of disappointment in realizing he wasn't going to get up and play with me any time soon! And also like Kun, wanting to give him the unsuitable name of my favorite toy. It really shows that the director (whose own daughter is called Mirai) has based the movie on his own parental experience.
But jealousy and sibling rivalry is also a pretext for dwelling on a deeper matter. It starts in fact, as a lovely anime about a common problem that resonates with many of us and it deals with it in a cute and childish way, but halfway through it takes – quite abruptly – a more dramatic turn with some sinister adventures of Kun lost in a striking futuristic Tokyo Central Rail Station, as a dark metaphor of his lack of sense of belonging. It is a thought-provoking and imaginative scene that reveals the maturity of the film and the firm resolution to take it further than the "kawaii" zone.
Growing up is also stepping away from self-centeredness and accepting the idea of belonging to a "tree", a net of connection between present and past and between our relatives and us.
The animation is of a top standard and one of the best things of it is the incredibly plentiful and realistic display of facial emotions and expressions, from the tiny baby Mirai to the troubled Kun and the confused mum and dad, and all rendered from a little kid's point of view. Backgrounds are detailed and accurate; the contemporary stylish home is a perfect source of textures (wonderful wood paneling), volumes and contrasts (like with the Hinamatsuri dolls).
"Mirai" is a charming and heartwarming trip to a better understanding of our ground, starting easy and getting, along the way, more challenging and rewarding at the same time.

DECISION AND ORDER FOR JUDGMENT
HAUK, District Judge.[*]
1. Complaint by Petitioner ROWLEY for exoneration from, or limitation of, liability and customary pleadings in Admiralty.
2. Motion to Dismiss said Complaint brought by the Claimants, and Order Denying said Motion to Dismiss (The Honorable Ray McNichols, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Idaho).
3. Stipulation of Facts and Questions of Law submitted by all parties through their counsel.
4. Affidavits, Briefs and Points and Authorities in Support of various of the above.
At the outset we note that the parties have stipulated to this Court trial without any hearing, argument, or physical presence of counsel or parties, and solely upon the pleadings and papers hereinabove referred to and on file herein, with only one issue left to be determined.
To be more specific, the Stipulation of Facts and Question of Law reads as follows:
"Counsel for all parties hereto stipulate to the following facts in the above-entitled action.
"That on or about July 20, 1974, at approximately 5:00 p. m. two children were floating on air mattresses about 200 feet from shore on Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
"That at the same time and place a 1968 16 foot Inboard/Outboard 120 horsepower Bellboy Power Boat owned by GEORGE D. ROWLEY and driven by his daughter, CINDY ROWLEY, age 20, was towing a water skier and had a third person in the boat as an observer, when the boat did collide with the two children. That as a result of the collision, one child was killed and the other child was seriously injured.
"That GEORGE D. ROWLEY, who was not present at the time of the accident, had no privity or knowledge of the collision and the results thereof, and had no reason to forsee (sic) that an accident would occur.
"That Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is a lake totally within the boundaries of the State of Idaho and by the use of the waters of the lake and those flowing into the lake it is not possible to reach ports of call other than in the State of Idaho without removing the vessel or boat onto *118 land and transporting it to another body of water.
"That the boat herein described is a pleasure boat used only for pleasure and possibly for recreational sport fishing.
"That it is further stipulated that the only question for the Court to decide is:
"Whether or not Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is a navigable body of water as to fall within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court, Section 1333 of the Judicial Code, and if so, then the owner of the boat involved in the accident is entitled to an order limiting his liability for the accident to the value of the boat.
"That it is further stipulated that this matter may be decided by the court without the physical presence and argument of counsel but on the briefs submitted and on file herein."
It is thus obvious that the sole issue before the Court is one of law which can be stated in three propositions:
1. Does Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, constitute "navigable waters of the United States?"
2. If so, does this Court have jurisdiction of the proceedings herein?
3. If so, is the owner of the boat, involved in the accident, Petitioner ROWLEY, entitled to an order limiting his liability for the accident to the value of the boat?
I. NAVIGABLE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
This issue has, in the view of this Court, become moot by reason of res judicata. This Court is precluded by Chief Judge McNichols' "Order Denying Motion to Dismiss" made and filed herein in these proceedings on February 24, 1975. In that Order, Chief Judge McNichols took judicial notice that Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, was and is factually and historically, a navigable body of water in Idaho, retaining that status both as of the date of the unfortunate accident which initiated this litigation and as of the date of his Order.
Relying upon 33 C.F.R. 2.34-1 (C.G.F.R. 66-2, 31 F.R. 4956, March 25, 1966) wherein Lake Coeur d'Alene, by special determination of the United States Coast Guard, United States Department of Transportation, was declared "Navigable Waters of the United StatesIdaho", Chief Judge McNichols held that this regulation specifically determined what the District Court of Idaho "has frequently heretofore held", that Lake Coeur d'Alene was and is part of the "navigable waters of the United States".
It perhaps is worthy of note that Chief Judge McNichols' finding is a clear and succinct summary of the definition of "navigable waters of the United States", declared in 33 C.F.R. 2.10-5 (C.G.F.R. 6-53, 26 F.R. 12159, December 20, 1961):
"[T]he term `navigable waters of the United States' shall be construed to mean those waters of the United States, including the territorial seas adjacent thereto, the general character of which is navigable, and which, either by themselves or by uniting with other waters, form a continuous waterway on which boats or vessels may navigate or travel between two or more States, or to or from foreign nations. A stream which otherwise conforms with the above definition would not change its navigable character because of the existence of natural or artificial obstructions such as falls, shallows, rapids, dams, or bridges."
II. JURISDICTION OF THE COURT
The next issue must be decided in the affirmative upon the stipulated facts and upon the findings and the law heretofore recited. Since Lake Coeur d'Alene is a navigable body of water of the United States, this Court has admiralty and maritime jurisdiction under 46 U.S.Code § 740, which provides;
"The admiralty and maritime jurisdiction of the United States shall extend to and include all cases of damage or injury, to person or property, caused by a vessel on navigable water, . . .",
and under the Judicial Code, 28 U.S.Code § 1333, which provides:
*119 "The district courts shall have original jurisdiction, exclusive of the courts of the States, of:
(1) Any civil case of admiralty or maritime jurisdiction . . .".
III. LIMITATION OF BOAT OWNER'S LIABILITY
This final issue also must be answered in favor of the boat owner, Petitioner ROWLEY. Under the stipulated facts, ROWLEY, "was not present at the time of the accident, had no privity or knowledge of the collision and the results thereof, and had no reason to forsee (sic) that an accident would occur". Tested by the "Limitation of Shipowners' Liability Act", 46 U.S. Code § 183(a), and 46 U.S.Code § 188, it is beyond controversy that the facts are within the statutory scheme which necessarily limits Petitioner ROWLEY'S liability here to the amount or value of his owner's interest in the boat involved in the accident. Thus, 46 U.S.Code § 183(a):
"The liability of the owner of any vessel, whether American or foreign . . . for any loss, damage, or injury by collision, or for any act, matter, or thing, loss, damage, or forfeiture, done, occasioned, or incurred, without the privity or knowledge of such owner or owners, shall not, except in the cases provided for in subsection (b) of this section [cases of seagoing vessels not applicable here], exceed the amount or value of the interest of such owner in such vessel, . . .".
46 U.S.Code § 188:
"Except as otherwise specifically provided therein, the provisions of sections . . . 183 . . . of this title shall apply . . . to all vessels used on lakes . . .".
IV. ORDER FOR JUDGMENT
In accordance with the foregoing Decision, which shall constitute Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law herein, pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure applicable hereto:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Judgment be made and entered forthwith accordingly, limiting the liability herein of the boat owner, Petitioner ROWLEY, to the amount or value of his interest in the boat involved in the accident which initiated these proceedings. Unfortunately, although the facts of this case involve a tragic accident resulting in grievous loss of life and limb, this Court has no alternative other than to order the Judgment indicated.

Q: Google Maps is plotting only for positive lat/long values, resetting NaN if negative lat/longs are passed I am totally new to maps.
I am facing a problem.
The latitude and longitude values that i pass are getting assigned to NaN by a dynamically generated file when these lat/long =values are negative.
The code a-= x; b-= y is making negative lat/lon values to null and accepting (not converting) positive lat/long values. Strange.
This piece of code gets executed at
  point = new GLatLng(lat, long);

where
        myIcon.shadow = null;
        myIcon.printShadow = null;
        myIcon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(5, 15);

and i am making markers as
gmarkers.sort(function () { return 0.5 - Math.random() });

        mgr.addMarkers(gmarkers.slice(0, 50), 1);
        mgr.addMarkers(gmarkers.slice(51, 100), 5);
        mgr.addMarkers(gmarkers.slice(101, 150), 6);

        mgr.addMarkers(gmarkers.slice(2001, 999999), 15);

        mgr.refresh();

somebody please help me...thanks in advance

A: Perhaps you should write
a = -x;

rather than
a -= x;

Because a -= x is shorthand for a = a - x

A: The issue in my case was that of data. As for Brazillian culture, the decimal in the latitude and longitude values were being set to comma (,) instead of a decimal or period (.)
this can be resolved by doing a (Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
to avoid replacement.
Thanks for your help.

I have an Azteeg X5 running on my delta, and just recently my cooling fan won't shut off. Normally, when I power it up the cooling fan's off with no issues, and it stays off as it should until the second layer of the print. Now it's on constantly. I haven't changed anything in the config with relation to the fan setting. M107 won't stop it - it's just alwys on.
These settings have been the same since I had originally set this up. I've even compared it to some archived config files I've saved and they're the same. But now my fan won't turn off??? Any suggestions?

Review on Past Tense Affixes
The study was conducted to analyse the plural inflections of English language among Malay students. Generally, the duration of exposure towards English language in classroom setting would be approximately 11 years among Malaysian students. Although English language has been given much respect and attention, there are still learners being underachievers and not proficient in the language at the end of their secondary school level. Due to this, the researcher claims that there are still students who fail to understand the most basic rules of English language structure, such as plurality. . 1 Hypothesis As cited by the researcher, Fries (1945), Lado (1957) and Van Els (1984) agree that different grammatical structure between languages is a possible factor of students' incompetency in the targeted language.
Thus, the hypothesis of this study is, Malay students find it difficult to understand and use English language plural inflections because there are no plural inflections in the Malay language. 1. 2 Aims of the Study There are three aims mentioned to be achieved throughout this study: 1. To identify and explain students' error regarding plural inflection 2. To identify the differences & similarities of plural inflections between Malay & English language. 3. To measure and determine whether the differences of plural inflections formation between Malay and English language contribute to the errors in students' writing. 2. 0 Methodology 2. 1 Sampling In this study, a total of 40 semester one students were selected as the sample of the study. They were 20 lower proficiency students and 20 higher proficiency students of a local semi?private higher learning institution in Malaysia.
The students' level of proficiency was pre?determined by an English Placement Test which is a compulsory assessment of the institution. Students who passed the English Placement Test are categorized as higher proficiency while those who failed are categorized as lower proficiency students. 2. 2 Instruments/ Tools In order to achieve the aims of this study, the researcher implemented 3 assessment tools to collect the data which are 1) Cloze-tests, 2) Essays, and 3) Fill in the blank. 2. 3 Procedures The first approach used by the researcher was Cloze-test.
The researcher used two sets of Cloze?test to gather a more genuine data regarding plural inflection. There were ten questions in each Cloze?test and students have to answer to a total of twenty Cloze?test questions. Each Cloze?test questions consisted of various morphological & syntactical structures. However, once the Cloze?test was collected, analysis was made only on plural inflections. The second approach implemented by the researcher was Essay. Only six essays were taken to be analyzed. These essays were chosen based on students' proficiency levels.
Three essays representing the low proficiency and three essays from higher proficiency students. All essays were about the same topic which is 'Is television a bad influence? ' and they had been marked earlier. Instead of focusing on all grammatical errors, analysis was made only on plural inflections. The third approach applied by the researcher is Fill in the blank. There are ten questions consisting of ten singular nouns. Students were to convert these singular words into their plural forms. The data gathered from these three approaches were then analyzed and turned into percentage as the findings. . 0 Finding The findings will be explained in a reference to the few excerpts taken from the article. 3. 1 Cloze-tests Excerpt 1: Errors on plural inflection in Cloze?test 1 Based on the chart in the Excerpt 1 above, it is found that 3 or 15% of the higher proficiency students committed errors in Question 1. Surprisingly, all of the lower proficiency students answered Question 1 correctly. Majority of the students of the higher and lower proficiency answered the question incorrectly for Question 4.
As for Question 6, 11 or 28% of students from each proficiency level respectively answered B. beachs instead of the correct answer C. beaches. For the final question in Cloze-test 1, only 6 out of 20 or 30% of higher proficiency students answered Question 9 wrongly. On the other hand, 14 out of 20 or 70% of lower proficiency students mistakenly answered Question 9. Most of the students who gave the wrong answer circled B. childs and D. childrens whereas the correct answer should be C. children. Excerpt 2: Errors on plural inflections in Cloze?test 2
It is observed that there were more students from lower proficiency level committed error for Question 3 and 5. However, for Question 7, it is noteworthy that there were more students from higher proficiency category committed error. 3. 2 Essays Excerpt 3: Frequent errors made by students in essays Based on Excerpt 3 above, the words in bold are the errors made by students in their essay. From it, it is found that students included the suffix –s in the words? childrens, peoples and womans. However, for words like actress and dress, the students overlooked the suffix –s. . 3 Fill in the blanks Excerpt 4: Errors on plural inflections in Fill in the blank task There are 10 words that the respondents need answer in this Fill in the blank task.
It is found that the higher proficiency students perform better in this task compared to the Cloze?test as they only answer Question 2, 6 and 9 incorrectly. In contrast, the lower proficiency students got the wrong answers for all questions, except for question number 8. It is identified that majority of students from both proficiency levels over-generalize the use of suffix –s in all words. . 0 Discussion Unlike the Malay language, the plural formation of words in the English language is much more complicated because there are many spelling rules. Malaysian students are exposed to the idea that the suffix –s is needed to indicate plurality. There are a lot of complicated and confusing spelling rules to indicate plurality in English language. From the Cloze?tests and Fill in the blank tasks, the students were clearly aware of the usage of plurality. The only drawback they faced was the over?generalization of the suffix ?s for all words.
The students from either higher or lower proficiency level are confounded with the complex plural inflections because the formation of plural words is easier in the Malay language. It can be seen in Excerpt 5 as illustrated by the researcher below. Excerpt 5: Rules for formation of plural forms in Malay language In the Malay language, the common method to show plurality is by reduplication. Plurality is called 'kata ganda' which simply means 'duplicate'. Plural inflections exist in three common suffixes? /?s/, /?es/ and /?ies/ for English language.
However, in the Malay language, things are much simpler as students are needed to just reduplicate the words in order to make it plural. Excerpt 6: Comparison between English and Malay language plural forms In English language, students have no option rather than to know that the suffix /?es/ must be added to words that end with /?f/. If students spell it as shelfs, it would be wrong. The Malay language is easier compared to the English language since students have option to either duplicate the word 'rak' using the symbol (?) or to insert cardinal or ordinal words before the word 'rak' in order to show plurality.
If cardinal or ordinal words are used, the word 'rak' will remain no changes at all, for instance some shelves = beberapa rak. To be safe, most students will apply the use of reduplication. Despite all the differences in the formation of plurality between both languages, there are similarities identified by the researcher. In both languages, plurality is indicated by cardinal like all (semua), some (sebahagian/beberapa) as shown in Excerpt 7. Excerpt 7 The second similarity is both languages have quantitative nouns that indicate numbers as shown in Excerpt 8. Excerpt 8 5. 0 Study's Conclusion
This study has found that there are differences and similarities regarding the formation of plural forms between Malay and English language. In responding to the aim of this study, it is believed that the differences of plural inflections formation between those languages contribute to the errors in students' writing. Based on the data collected, it is found that the respondents understand the when and why should we use the plural form. The errors occurred not because the respondents failed to grasp the idea of plurality, but they are confused with the complicated rules of plural inflections in the English language. . 0 Commentary 6. 1 A meaningful study In general, the study itself is a very good research. It touches on a very specific area which is plural inflection. Generally, Malaysian children were introduced to this language as early as four or five years old, at their pre?school level. This teaching and learning process gradually continues from pre?school to primary and secondary school. The duration of exposure towards English language in classroom setting would be approximately 11 years.
Although English language has been given much respect and attention, there are still learners being underachievers and not proficient in the language at the end of their secondary school level as claimed by the researcher. Contrastive analysis is an inductive investigative approach based on the distinctive elements in a language. In this study, the researcher focused on the analysis of morphemes which carries grammatical meaning which is plural inflection. Some researchers believed that when similarities and differences between L1 and L2 were identified, pedagogy could be more effective.
This statement is developed from the master mind of contrastive analysis, Lado (1957) where he states "those elements that are similar to the learners' native language will be simple for him, but those that are different will be difficult. " Hence, this study is significant since the aspect of plurality is being analyzed in terms of both languages. Lado's statement supports this paper's hypothesis that Malay students find it difficult to understand and use English language plural inflections because there are no plural inflections in the Malay language.
Hashimah, Norsimah, Kesumawati (2008) in their study of grammatical structures agree that different construction of plural forms in Malay and English language contributes to the difficulty of acquiring the language. 6. 2 Methodology Moreover, other strength in this study is the reliability and validity of instruments. The use of Cloze-test is a very good approach. The researcher included various structures; however, once the Cloze?test is collected, analysis is made only on plural inflections. It is predicted that she does not wish for her respondents to be aware that this was a test on plural form.
This is a brilliant idea to avoid students giving more attention to certain questions. As the result, the findings would be questionable. 6. 3 Findings It is observed from the findings of Cloze-test 1 and Cloze-test 2, there are two noticeable interesting findings. 1) Cloze-test 1: 3 or 15% of the higher proficiency students committed errors in Question 1 while surprisingly; all of the lower proficiency students answered Question 1 correctly. 2) Cloze-test 2: For Question 7, it is noteworthy that there were more students from higher proficiency category committed error.
Based on these two interesting findings, we can generalize that, there are actually more students from higher level of proficiency that committed errors in forming plural inflections for certain words. Clearly here we can see that, even though those who are among higher level of proficiency and expected to know more about the English language structures and rules, yet still committed more errors. This denies the assumption that only those who are among lower level of proficiency will have more tendencies to commit error in forming plural inflections due to lack of knowledge of L2 structures and rules.
Thus, I am in favour of what the researcher has claimed, "The errors occurred not because the respondents failed to grasp the idea of plurality, but they are confused with the complicated rules of plural inflections in the English language". 6. 3 Pedagogical Implications This study is significant for it creates awareness to the readers on the importance of knowing the differences between two language structures. It has an impact to the teaching and learning environment as it serves as a guideline for educators. Now, the educators will have the opportunity to acknowledge the areas that students are weak in.
With the results from this study, educators are able to prepare better lesson plans to cater the students' difficulties. Teachers can provide better explanation for grammatical structure like the plural inflection in classroom by considering comparing rules of both languages. 6. 4 Limitations and Recommendations This study was done on a small scale of samples, there were only 40 students from semester one in an institution only. As for future study, it is suggested to other researcher to consider of incorporating more samples to measure the students' authentic understanding on the usage of plural inflections.
It is also recommended that in the future study, emphasis should also be given to other aspects of plurality such as the loan words (e. g. stimulus stimuli) rather than just focusing on the inflections /?s/, /?es/ and /?ies/. 7. 0 Conclusion In conclusion, despite of few limitations of study, it is true to say that this study is a good research. It gives more contributions especially for ESL learners in general, Malay students in specific. Also, the result of study can be benefit by the ESL teachers. As for future study, it is important in making sure that the research caters all the possibilities and limitations of this study.

Home NFL Aaron Hernandez Cleared of Conviction Charges
Aaron Hernandez Cleared of Conviction Charges
In the wake of his death, Aaron Hernandez 2013 murder case conviction has been cleared. Since Hernandez died before his appeal was heard in a court of law he is no longer guilty of his crimes.
Read on and get the details on Aaron Hernandez…
LatinoAthlete.com has learned that E. Susan Garsh, a judge in the Bristol County District, ruled on Tuesday that a legal doctrine calls for vacating Aaron Hernandez' convictions.
Aaron Hernandez Cleared of Conviction Charges Details:
The judge said Aaron Hernandez died before the appeal was binding precedent, so his convictions will now be erased. Prosecutor, Thomas M. Quinn III is planning to appeal the ruling and take it all the way to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts.
Quinn argued:
"Despite the tragic ending to Aaron Hernandez's life, he should not reap the legal benefits of an antiquated rule. State and federal courts from across the country have rejected this antiquated rule. Massachusetts, in my opinion, needs to follow suit."
Jose Baez, Aaron Hernandez attorney asked the judge to overturn the conviction after he died, and he apparently got his wish. Meanwhile, John Thompson, a lawyer for Hernandez's estate, and an appellate attorney, maintained that a conviction is not considered to be final until a higher court decides it.
Despite, Hernadez's conviction being over-turned, Odin Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward, said the judge's decision would not affect her view on Hernandez's culpability. She will always maintain that Aaron killed her son!
"In our book, he's guilty, and he's going to always be guilty. But I know, I know one day I'm going to see my son, and that's the victory that I have, and I am going to take with me."
Regardless of the outcome and over-turn of Hernandez, Lloyd's family could still proceed with a lawsuit citing a wrongful death against the estate of Hernandez.
Patrick Bomberg said:
Hernandez "should not be able to accomplish in death what he could not accomplish in life."
Judge Garsh rejected the argument because no one will ever know for sure why Hernandez killed himself.
Why Aaron Hernandez allegedy took his own life:
If Hernandez was able to prove his innocence and get his murder conviction over-turned, then the New England Patriots contract has to be honored. There is $6 million at stake, that is why Hernandez wrote to his fiance, "you're rich."
This should also allow his fiance to get his pension and the balance due on his contract. Of course, Jose Baez is keeping a cool calm while speaking to TMZ:
