Excellence of Hanok, Traditional Korean House
Have you ever heard of ?anok? a word referring to traditional Korean architecture style with various types of roof including thatches, shingles, and tiles? Houses with thatches and shingles rarely exist these days so the word ?anok?usually means a traditional Korean house with a tile roof. Some people still reside in Hanoks. Otherwise they are preserved and shown to travelers as outstanding Korean heritage because they have amazing features despite the fact that they were made a very long time ago.Eco-FriendlyHanok is a very eco-friendly house.

Politicians, perhaps wary of attracting more negative PR, have mostly ignored Brewer's ritual denunciations. But Brewer's rhetoric is important because it illustrates a hidden tension in Arizona politics. Senate Bill 1070 is often seen as an outgrowth of Mexican migration.

Freak winds may have led to fatal brick wall collapse
By Royce Millar and Clay Lucas
May 22, 2013 — 10.50pm
Inner Melbourne was hit by freak winds around the time a brick wall at the CUB site in Swanston Street collapsed killing three young pedestrians in March.
Bureau of Meteorology data obtained by Fairfax Media shows a gust of wind just before 3pm – the estimated time of the collapse – at 102 km/h. The average wind speed for a 10-minute period at 3pm was 83 km/h, regarded by the bureau as a strong wind able to dislodge roofing from homes and limbs from trees.
As a slew of official investigations into the collapse continue, the State Coroner on Thursday begins his own preliminary hearings into the deaths of Marie-Faith Fiawoo, Bridget Jones and her brother Alexander.
The mention hearing, before Judge Ian Gray, is being held so the various parties investigating or involved in the incident including Victoria Police, WorkSafe and Melbourne City Council, can update the Coroner on their findings.
Fairfax understands that mounting evidence of unusually strong winds has concentrated police attention on the role of a hoarding bolted onto the brick wall in 2011 to advertise developer Grocon's Swanston Square apartment project, now under construction.
Today Fairfax Media publishes previously unseen images of the erection of the hoarding in October 2011.
Over a period of months cameras recorded a time-lapse of the construction of a new RMIT building on the corner of Victoria and Swanston streets. But the footage also captures activity on the surrounding CUB site – and importantly the erection of the hoarding on the brick wall that later collapsed with fatal consequences.
The footage shows workmen attaching plywood panelling to a metal frame bolted to the wall. Notably, the hoarding is higher than the brick wall. Engineering and architectural experts believe the hoarding may have acted like a sail or parachute, potentially contributing to the collapse when the strong wind struck Melbourne.
Once erected, the hoarding remained on the wall for 17 months. It remains unclear – although unlikely – that any official approval was granted for the hoarding. Whether permits were required, and if so by whom, are key questions for investigators.
Planning Minister Matthew Guy's office last month issued a statement on the wall's collapse, in which he said it was the developer's responsibility to gain permits – with enforcement action the job of Melbourne City Council.
The council, for its part, stated last month it was the minister's responsibility to issue planning permits relating to the site.
The complexity of the task before the Coroner is daunting: Mr Guy has responsibility for big-picture planning of the CUB site, while the council has authority over building and the interface of building with the public domain.
Other state agencies, including the Building Commission and WorkSafe, also have some responsibility for such sites.
The 102 km/h gust was recorded at the bureau's St Kilda harbour station. The bureau does not measure wind in the city because high-rise buildings affect the readings.
Of the weather stations in Melbourne, the St Kilda harbour site is regarded as the most relevant to an understanding of city wind, especially westerly and south-westerly winds that were blowing on the afternoon of March 28.

This gap refers to the lag in time between you paying for goods or services and you receiving payment from your customers who purchased those same goods or services from you. For example, if Jill at XYZ Company purchases 10 rolls of carpet from a supplier for a job, the cash gap will occur between Jill paying the supplier for the carpet and the supplier reimbursing the carpet producer for the product and installation service.
The length of your cash gap can vary widely based on the type of business or industry you're in, but the goal is always to close the gap or keep it as short as possible. Shortening this gap has many benefits, including having greater available cash flow, a better chance of collecting payment if less time has gone by, and reduced need to rely on outside sources to collect payment.
Ideally, your business will have an inflow of cash occurring at the same time as your outflow but, realistically, the outflow usually occurs before you receive payment. However, there are ways to manage this cash flow gap and strategies to close the gap as much as possible.
Incentivize quicker payment. If you can get your customers to pay their bills in a timelier fashion, your cash flow gap will automatically shorten. One way to do this is to offer incentives such as small percentages off customers' total bills or discounts on future purchases if they pay sooner. Allowing customers to pay over the phone with credit cards can also help avoid mail lag time and make the process easier for your clients.
Send invoices directly. Don't add additional days to your cash gap by delaying your invoicing process. Send your invoices immediately after you sell goods or complete services. You allow for immediate payment by getting your invoices to your customers sooner.
Reduce collections time. If you've already made payment methods easier but are still experiencing a cash flow gap, consider making your collections time stricter. This will force company accountants to pay more quickly, reducing your gap.
Limit inventory. When possible, keep minimal inventory on your shelves. Extra stock lying around is often part of the reason business accounts are strapped for cash. Limiting inventory can be tricky because it requires striking a perfect balance between production and distribution, but taking the time to thoroughly analyze the proper amount of inventory to have on hand at any time can keep you from having a big gap period while waiting for your next job or order.
Purchase only quick-moving inventory. Take a long look at your order history and the stock inventory that has consistently moved quickly. Refrain from selling or stocking items that take longer to move so you're not caught in a gap waiting for items to leave your shelves.
Negotiate with vendors. Negotiate for longer payment terms, lower interest rates, and bulk-order purchase deals so you can lower the amount of money held up in the cash flow gap as much as possible.
Regardless of their best efforts, many business owners have fallen into the cash flow gap, affecting their ability to do business. If you need help understanding your cash gap and how to manage it, call the professionals at your local commercial credit bureau. We can help you close the gap and better manage your cash flow.

Sen. Brown's plan has wilderness bill in limbo
The Pueblo Chieftain
Chieftain Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, D.C. -When the Colorado wilderness bill perished last year in the waning moments of the 102nd Congress, the state's lawmakers promised quick action this year.
But quick action in Congress is about as likely as the Rockies in the '93 World Series.
Seven months after last year's session and four months after Congress resumed work this year, the bill has gone nowhere fast. In the Senate, it's stuck in committee. In the House, it hasn't seen its first subcommittee hearing, let alone a vote.
All this persists even though a compromise reached last year is supported by both of the state's senators, both of its Democratic House members, the Republican whose district contains most of the wilderness, and the environmentalists and water interests who have battled tooth and nail over the measure's water provisions for a decade.
Ironically, the bill is being blocked in the Senate by one of its own sponsors -Republican Sen. Hank Brown.
Brown confirmed this week that he has asked the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee not to hold a vote on the bill, which is also sponsored by Democratic Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Absent Brown's request, the measure might well have cleared the Senate by now.
"We're going to simply wait for the House version to come across," he said. "The purpose for that is an effort really to make sure the version that was agreed on is what's passed."
In other words, he wants to make sure the House sticks to the compromise hammered out at the end of last year's session, which used innovative water-rights language to gain the support of the state's water interests as well as environmentalists led by Democratic Rep. George Miller of California, the powerful chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee.
If the Senate and the House passed different versions of the bill, the disputes would be settled in a House-Senate conference committee.
"It's much easier to control a bill on the Senate floor than it is in a conference," Brown said. "We're going to wait for the House to pass the agreement and simply ratify it on the Senate floor."
Brown said he thought his plan was widely known and agreed to, but sources in the House, including Rep. David Skaggs, said that's news to them.
Skaggs, a Boulder Democrat who is the lead sponsor of the House bill that parallels the Senate version, said he doesn't really care which body acts first. The bill has been stalled in the House, he said, simply because of other priorities early in the new session.
"We are moving to get things going over here," he said. "So it's not as though I want to hold up (the process); we want to get things moving."
Although he's willing to play along with Brown's strategy, Skaggs said he's surprised by it.
"I'm interested in why Hank feels that way, but that's his business," Skaggs said.
A key staff member in the House said the prevailing feeling there is one of "puzzlement" that the Senate has not acted.
"I don't know what's holding the thing up," said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "We expected by now the Senate would have passed the bill -they've got both senators on board; it's got bipartisan support; Campbell's on the committee; and they've had hearings. I don't know why they haven't proceeded to (a vote)."
Campbell, too, is unsure of Brown's game plan.
"I haven't really talked to Hank about it, so I'm not sure what his thinking is," Campbell said. The Senate "did pass it out first last year. It would suit me to go ahead and pass it out this time."
Brown is the senior senator for Colorado, "so I really have been deferring to his judgment, but my own perspective is I'd just as soon pass it here first," Campbell added.
The bill would protect 766,670 acres of the state's majestic mountain wilderness. Roads, dams, motorized travel and logging would be forbidden in 19 new wilderness areas, while five other areas would be managed with tough restrictions on development.
Most participants have agreed that last year's compromise is so fragile that no changes can be made.
"If (the House) sends us a version that's not identical, I guess we start over again," warned Brown. "If they change anything on it, it requires us to go back and start all over again."
The Skaggs bill also is sponsored by Democratic Rep. Pat Schroeder of Denver and Republican Rep. Scott McInnis of Glenwood Springs, whose district contains most of the new wilderness areas.
Republican Reps. Joel Hefley of Colorado Springs, Dan Schaefer of Lakewood and Wayne Allard of Loveland have introduced a bill opposed by environmentalists but have indicated they will go along with the compromise version.
Only one change is expected in the bill, Skaggs said. Its sponsors had planned to name the Fossil Ridge wilderness area after former Sen. Tim Wirth, who pushed the bill for years, and his wife, Wren. But federal officials objected that areas traditionally have not been named after living people, and Wirth wrote the sponsors asking them to forego the honor.

Home | Media | News | Time Limit on Disputing Bailiff's Acts Shall Run from the Date the Issued Act Was Communicated
Time Limit on Disputing Bailiff's Acts Shall Run from the Date the Issued Act Was Communicated
On 5 April 2019, the Constitutional Court of Moldova delivered a judgment on the plea of unconstitutionality of the second phrase of Article 162 para. (2) of the Enforcement Code: "No one may request an extension of the time-limit if more than 6 months have passed from the date the disputed act was issued or declined to be issued."
The applicant alleged that the challenged provisions do not comply with the requirements of quality of a law. He also noted that the legislative solution providing that no one may request an extension of the time-limit if more than six months have passed from the date the disputed act was issued or declined is in breach of the right to free access to justice and does not ensure the protection of the right to property of the debtors.
Although the applicant directed his critique to the second phrase of Article 162 para. (2) of the Enforcement Code, the Court found that the second phrase of Article 161 para. (1) also imposes a ban on challenging enforcement-related acts issued by a bailiff, where more than 6 months passed from the moment they were issued. Given that these provisions basically echo the provisions challenged by the applicant, the Court decided to also assess them. Moreover, the Court observed that although the applicant only disputed the fact that the six-months term relevant for restoring the right to challenge bailiff's acts runs from the moment they are being issued, nonetheless Article 162 para. (1) of the Code provides, too, that the time-limit for the appeal shall run from the moment the acts are being issued. As these provisions cannot be considered in isolation, but as part of a coherent legal system, the Court decided to also subject to constitutional review the piece of legislation regulating the method of calculation of the deadline on lodging the appeal, i.e. "from the date it was issued or the date of the refusal to issue certain acts" of Article 162 para. (1) of the Enforcement Code.
The Court's assessment
The Court considered that this case should be assessed in light of Article 20 of the Constitution safeguarding the free access to a court, in conjunction with Article 23 para. (2) providing for the requirements on the quality of the law and with Article 46, which safeguards the protection of the right to property.
The Court noted that the procedure on disputing bailiff's action is regulated divergently by a number of provisions of the same legal act. Such a legal incoherence leads to legal insecurity for the individuals. It is both the litigants and subjects entitled to apply the Enforcement Code that find themselves in difficulty, thus having to choose between several possible options. And even when seeking expertise advice, one could not unequivocally foresee what provision should apply – Article 162 para. (1), Article 66 para. (2) or Article 67 para. (7) of the Enforcement Code – when determining the date when the time-limit runs for disputing bailiff's acts. There is a risk for a choice of a provision to be determined based on arbitrary and discretionary criteria by subjects entitled to apply the law, so that the one could not actually enjoy the right to dispute a bailiff's act, including that applied for property seizure.
The Court also found that where bailiff's acts are being communicated only following six months after they were issued, that person will not be able to request an extension of the time-limit for the restoration of the right to dispute the acts in question, given that under Articles 161 para. (1) and 162 para. (2) of the Enforcement Code, he cannot request an extension of the time-limit where more than 6 months passed from the date the disputed act was issued or from the date when its issuance was declined. Under these provisions, this also holds true for cases where third persons who did not attend the enforcement procedure find out about writs of execution affecting their rights and interests, but would not be able to dispute them, as more than six months passed from the date they were issued.
In this respect, the Court recalled its case-law holding that the right to actually exercise the right to an appeal can only be enjoyed from the date the disputed act is communicated to the interested party. Otherwise, such a right may become a theoretical and illusory one. Since the State safeguards a right, it shall also create the premises for it to be attained.
The Court's conclusions
Stemming from the foregoing, the Court admitted the plea of unconstitutionality referred upon the request of attorney Anatolie Bacalîm, in case no. 2r-2541/2018, pending before the Court of Appeal of Chișinău.
It declared unconstitutional:
- the second phrase "Acts drafted by the bailiff cannot be appealed if more than six months passed from the moment they were issued." of Article 161 para. (1) of the Enforcement Code;
- the second phrase "from the date it was issued or from the date of the refusal to issue certain acts" of Article 162 para. (1) of the Enforcement Code;
- the second phrase "No one may request an extension of the time-limit if more than 6 months have passed from the date the disputed act was issued or declined to be issued." of Article 162 para. (2) of the Enforcement Code.
This judgment is final, it cannot be appealed, it enters info force upon the date of adoption and shall be published in the Official Journal of Moldova.

BRPs are simplifying the process of checking an individual's right to work by replacing the wide range of documents currently in use. The new online checking service for employers will enable quick and easy real-time checks on permits and their holder's identity and right to work in the UK.
Immigration Minister, Damian Green said:
'It is vital that we work with employers to give them the tools they need to meet their obligations. Our new online checking service will also turn up the pressure on those who wish to live and work here illegally. The message is clear - the UK is no longer a soft touch for illegal workers.'
It was also announced that from 29 February 2012 BRPs will be issued to more categories of foreign nationals, including refugees and those granted permission to settle in the UK.


Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Somatrem is a polypeptide (methionyl human growth hormone) produced by recombinant DNA technology using the gene for human growth hormone.
Somatrem has the same amino acid sequence as pituitary-derived human growth hormone plus an additional amino acid, methionine, on the N-terminus of the molecule. The two molecules also have the same disulfide bond arrangement and the same secondary and tertiary structure.
In vitro and in vivo preclinical testing and clinical testing have demonstrated that somatrem is therapeutically equivalent to pituitary-derived human growth hormone in pharmacokinetics and in stimulation of linear growth as well as other actions.
Somatrem treatment of children who lack adequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone resulted in an increase in growth rate and an increase in levels of insulin-like growth factor-I, similar to that seen with pituitary-derived human growth hormone.
Tissue Growth: Skeletal Growth: Somatrem stimulates skeletal growth in children with growth failure due to a lack of adequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone. Skeletal growth is accomplished at the epiphyseal plates at the end of a growing long bone. Growth and metabolism of epiphyseal plate cells are directly stimulated by growth hormone and one of its mediators, insulin-like growth factor-I. Serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-I are low in children and adolescents who are growth hormone deficient, but increase during treatment with Protropin. New bone is formed at the epiphyses in response to growth hormone. This results in linear growth until these growth plates fuse at the end of puberty.
Organ Growth: Pituitary-derived human growth hormone influences the size of internal organs, including kidneys, and also increases red cell mass. Treatment of hypophysectomized or genetic dwarf rats with growth hormone results in organ growth that is proportional to the overall body growth.
Protein Metabolism: Linear growth is facilitated in part by growth hormone-stimulated protein synthesis. This is reflected by nitrogen retention as demonstrated by a decline in urinary nitrogen excretion and blood urea nitrogen during growth hormone therapy.
Carbohydrate Metabolism: Growth hormone is a modulator of carbohydrate metabolism. Children with inadequate secretion of growth hormone sometimes experience fasting hypoglycemia which is improved by treatment with growth hormone. Growth hormone therapy may decrease glucose tolerance. Administration of growth hormone to normal adults and patients who lack adequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone results in increases in mean serum fasting and postprandial insulin levels. However, mean fasting and postprandial glucose levels and mean hemoglobin A1C levels remain within the normal range.
Lipid Metabolism: Acute administration of pituitary-derived human growth hormone to humans results in lipid mobilization. Nonesterified fatty acids increase in plasma within 2 hours of pituitary-derived human growth hormone administration. In growth hormone-deficient patients, long-term administration of growth hormone often decreases body fat. Mean cholesterol levels decrease in patients treated with growth hormone.
Mineral Metabolism: The retention of total body potassium in response to growth hormone administration is thought to result from cellular growth. Sodium retention also occurs. Serum levels of inorganic phosphorus may increase slightly in patients with inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone after growth hormone therapy due to metabolic activity associated with bone growth as well as increased tubular reabsorption of phosphate by the kidney. Serum calcium is not significantly altered in these patients (see Precautions, Laboratory Tests).
Connective Tissue Metabolism: Growth hormone stimulates the synthesis of chondroitin sulfate and collagen as well as the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline.
Indications And Clinical Uses: For the long-term treatment of children who have growth failure due to growth hormone inadequacy.
Contra-Indications: Should not be used in patients with closed epiphyses.
Somatrem should not be used in patients with active neoplasia. Growth hormone therapy should be discontinued if evidence of neoplasia develops.
Somatrem, when reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved) should not be used in newborns or in patients with a known sensitivity to benzyl alcohol (see Warnings).
Manufacturers' Warnings In Clinical States: Benzyl alcohol as a preservative in Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP has been associated with toxicity in newborns. When administering somatrem in newborns or in patients sensitive to benzyl alcohol, reconstitute with Sterile Water for Injection, USP. When Sterile Water for Injection, USP is used, use only one somatrem dose per vial and discard the unused portion .
Precautions: General: Somatrem should be prescribed by physicians experienced in the diagnosis and management of patients with growth failure.
Because somatrem may induce a state of insulin resistance, patients should be observed for evidence of glucose intolerance.
Patients with a history of an intracranial lesion should be examined frequently for progression or recurrence of the lesion.
Intracranial hypertension (IH) with papilledema, visual changes, headache, nausea and/or vomiting has been reported in a small number of patients treated with growth hormone products. Symptoms usually occurred within the first 8 weeks of the initiation of the growth hormone therapy. In all reported cases, IH-associated signs and symptoms resolved after termination of therapy or a reduction of the growth hormone dose. Funduscopic examination of patients is recommended at the initiation and periodically during the course of growth hormone therapy.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis may occur more frequently in patients with endocrine disorders or in patients undergoing rapid growth. Physicians and parents should be alert to the development of a limp or complaints of hip or knee pain in somatrem-treated patients.
Progression of scoliosis can occur in children who experience rapid growth. Because growth hormone increases growth rate, patients with a history of scoliosis who are treated with growth hormone should be monitored for progression of scoliosis. Growth hormone has not been shown to increase the incidence of scoliosis.
Local or systemic allergic reactions may occur. Parents/patient should be informed that such reactions are possible and that prompt medical attention should be sought if allergic reactions occur.
Laboratory Tests: Serum levels of inorganic phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and parathyroid hormone may increase with somatrem therapy. Changes in thyroid hormone laboratory measurements may develop during human growth hormone treatment of children who lack adequate endogenous growth hormone secretion. As untreated hypothyroidism prevents optimal response to somatrem, patients should have periodic thyroid function tests and should be treated with thyroid hormone when indicated.
Drug Interactions: Concomitant glucocorticoid therapy may inhibit the growth promoting effect of somatrem. If glucocorticoid replacement is required, the glucocorticoid dose should be carefully adjusted.
Children: Prudence is indicated for children aged 6 months to 3 years, when administering somatrem reconstituted in Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved); although there is no information on the toxicity of benzyl alcohol for this age group, the toxic dose for premature neonates is in the range of 100 to 250 mg/kg/day.
Pregnancy: Reproduction studies have not been conducted with somatrem. It is not known whether somatrem can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Somatrem should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Lactation: It is not known whether somatrem is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when somatrem is administered to a nursing mother.
Carcinogenicity and Mutagenicity: Carcinogenicity and mutagenicity studies have not been conducted with somatrem. Patients developing neoplasia should be reported to HPB by the treating physician.
Information for the Patient: Patients being treated with growth hormone and/or their parents should be informed of the potential benefits and risks associated with treatment. If home use is determined by the physician to be desirable, instructions on appropriate use should be given, including a review of the contents of the Patient Information Insert. This information is intended to aid in the safe and effective administration of the medication. It is not a disclosure of all possible adverse or intended effects.
If home use is prescribed, a puncture-resistant container for the disposal of used syringes and needles should be recommended to the patient. Patients and/or parents should be thoroughly instructed in the importance of proper disposal and cautioned against any reuse of needles and syringes (see Blue Section – Information for the Patient "Protropin").
Adverse Reactions: A small percentage of patients may develop antibodies to the protein. Growth hormone antibody binding capacities below 2 mg/L have not been associated with growth attenuation. In some cases when binding capacity exceeds 2 mg/L, growth attenuation has been observed. In clinical studies and postmarketing experience of patients treated with somatrem, approximately 0.4 % of patients screened for antibody production developed antibodies with binding capacities >2 mg/L at 6 months. Reports of growth deceleration associated with binding capacities >2 mg/L in these patients are rare (2 mg/L and has exhibited growth attenuation.
In addition to an evaluation of compliance with the prescribed treatment program and thyroid status, testing for antibodies to human growth hormone should be carried out in any patient who fails to respond to therapy.
No other adverse effects of anti-growth hormone antibody formation were observed in additional short-term immunologic and renal function studies carried out in a group of patients after approximately 2 years of treatment. The antibodies to growth hormone were determined to be of the IgG class; no antibodies to growth hormone of the IgE class were detected.
Leukemia has been reported in a small number of growth hormone deficient patients who were treated with growth hormone. It is uncertain whether this increased risk is related to the pathology of growth hormone deficiency, growth hormone therapy, or other associated treatments such as radiation therapy for intracranial tumors. The risk to an individual patient, if any, remains to be established.
In studies of children treated with somatrem, injection site pain was reported infrequently.
Symptoms And Treatment Of Overdose: Symptoms and Treatment: Theoretical risks of long-term human growth hormone treatment with doses exceeding the recommended dose levels could be signs and symptoms of gigantism and/or acromegaly.
Dosage And Administration: Dosage and administration schedule should be individualized for each patient. A dose of up to 0.3 mg/kg/week (approximately 0.9 IU/kg/week) administered daily in divided doses by s.c. or i.m. injection is recommended.
dose (mg)/injection= patient weight (kg)´up to 0.043 (mg/kg). Therapy should not be continued if final height is achieved or epiphyseal fusion occurs. Patients who fail to respond adequately while on somatrem therapy should be evaluated to determine the cause of unresponsiveness.
When Protropin is reconstituted to 1 mg somatrem/mL, the recommended daily somatrem dose of 0.043 mg/kg contains 0.387 mg/kg benzyl alcohol.
See Warnings for reconstitution of Protropin for use in newborns and persons sensitive to benzyl alcohol and see Precautions for use in children age 6 months to 3 years.
To prepare the solution, slowly inject the Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved) into the Protropin vial, aiming the stream of liquid against the glass wall of the vial. Then swirl the somatrem vial with a gentle rotary motion until the contents are completely dissolved. Do not shake. Because somatrem is a protein, shaking can result in a cloudy solution. The somatrem solution should be clear , i.e., it should not have any solid particles floating on the surface. If you notice lumps or solid particles of powder, continue to gently swirl the solution until all of the powder has dissolved. If the solution does not become clear, do not inject it. Note also that occasionally, after refrigeration, small colorless particles of protein may be present in the Protropin solution. This is not unusual for solutions containing proteins. Allow the vial to come to room temperature and gently swirl until solution is clear. If the solution remains cloudy or hazy, do not inject it.
Injection: Before needle insertion, the septum of both the Protropin and diluent vials should be wiped with alcohol or an antiseptic solution to prevent contamination of the contents by microorganisms that may be introduced by repeated needle insertions. Protropin must be administered using sterile, disposable syringes and needles. The syringes should be of small enough volume that the prescribed dose can be drawn from the vial with reasonable accuracy. If the route of injection selected is i.m., the needle should be of sufficient length (usually 1 inch or more [2.5 cm]) to ensure that the injection reaches the muscular layer. The site of injection should be rotated each time Protropin is administered.
Stability and Storage: Before Reconstitution: Protropin and Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved), must be refrigerated at 2 to 8°C. Avoid freezing the vials of Protropin and Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved). Expiration dates are stated on the labels.
After Reconstitution: Vial contents are stable for 14 days when reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved) and refrigerated at 2 to 8°C. Avoid freezing the reconstituted vials of Protropin. See Warnings for storage information regarding reconstituted somatrem for use in newborns and persons sensitive to benzyl alcohol.
Unusual Handling Conditions: Vials of unreconstituted somatrem may be held at ambient temperature (not to exceed 37°C) for a total time not to exceed 7 days. Vials of reconstituted somatrem should not be exposed to temperatures greater than 25°C (controlled room temperature) for more than 24 hours in total.
Availability And Storage: 5 mg: Each vial of sterile, lyophilized powder contains: somatrem 5 mg (approx. 15 IU). Nonmedicinal ingredients: mannitol, sodium phosphate dibasic and sodium phosphate monobasic. May also contain phosphoric acid (used for pH adjustment). Cartons of two 5 mg vials and one multiple use vial with diluent [10 mL Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved)].
10 mg: Each vial of sterile, lyophilized powder contains: somatrem 10 mg (approx. 30 IU). Nonmedicinal ingredients: mannitol, sodium phosphate dibasic and sodium phosphate monobasic. May also contain phosphoric acid (use for pH adjustment). Cartons of two 10 mg vials and two multiple use vials with diluent [10 mL Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (benzyl alcohol preserved)].

Alex Highsmith 'Grew Up On That Drive' That Closed The Game, Heyward Said
By Matthew Marczi
Posted on November 30, 2022 at 10:00 am
There probably isn't going to be any part in a season for a team that is 4-7 in which it could have been said that they were anywhere close to flawless. You just don't get that bad of a record without having major problems very frequently.
But the Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be on the upswing, generally, and not simply because they are now 2-1 in their past three games—the first time they've won two out of three on the year—but rather because of what we see on the field, particularly in complementary football.
The defense relinquished the lead on Monday night. The offense went out and got it back. And then the defense closed it. Or perhaps more particularly, Alex Highsmith closed the game with a great final drive that included a sack, marking his first foray into double digits.
"You know who grew up that drive? Alex Highsmith," teammate Cameron Heyward said of the third-year edge rusher on the latest episode of his Not Just Football podcast. "Gets his sack, his 10th sack of the season, a big tackle for loss, and that's how we sealed the game."
The guy on the opposite side of him, T.J. Watt, made a name for himself for closing out games with big plays. Highsmith was able to do that this week, coming up in the big moments when the team needed him most.
Of course, he got the first-down sack to begin the sequence, bringing down Matt Ryan for a seven-yard loss. He knocked the ball loose—his fourth strip-sack of the year, the most in the NFL—though the defense could not recover. On 3rd and 3, he stuffed running back Jonathan Taylor for no gain and then drew pressure on fourth down on an incomplete pass.
And the thing is, I don't think anybody is really surprised that Highsmith did this. We've been watching him all year and saw that he had this in him. It's not some isolated sequence in his season, more of a culmination of what he's been doing.
That's why I'm not sure we can even say that he 'grew up' or anything like that. Yes, it was a critical close-out moment, some of the weightiest plays he's made in his career, but he's been making plays along the way the whole time. He should be garnering Pro Bowl consideration.
In fact, right now he's poised to make a run at what was the Steelers' single-season sack record up until last year. Currently sitting at 10 sacks through 11 games, he needs only six over the final six contests to tie James Harrison for the second-most sacks in a single season in franchise history.
His good buddy Watt put the sack record out of reach last season when he tied the NFL record with 22.5 sacks, but there's no shame in being second place to that. Yet it's really hard to say Highsmith has even been second to Watt this year.

The program has imported thousands upon thousands of Somalis during the past eight years. Many of them from the Minneapolis area have benefitted from our welfare system and then returned to Africa to kill "infidels." Others have chosen to stay here so they can kill "infidels" on American soil. Importing potential terrorists is insane and treasonous, but is clearly part of Obama's plan to fundamentally transform America.

There should be a complete ban on Muslim "refugees" until the Trump Administration can sort out the terrible mess that Obama has created.

Spousal support, or alimony, is where one spouse may require economic support from the other spouse during or following their divorce. Such support permits the dependent spouse to retain a lifestyle that most closely resembles that which the couple had during their marriage. However, alimony is intended to last only until the dependent spouse can support him- or herself.
There are five kinds of alimony that New Jersey recognizes. They are temporary alimony, limited duration alimony, permanent alimony, rehabilitative alimony, and reimbursement alimony.
Temporary alimony, or alimony pendent lite, is given to spouses who earn low wages or who are unemployed. It is intended to assist with the payment of living expenses during divorce proceedings.
Limited duration alimony may be awarded by a judge on the basis of economic necessity.
Permanent alimony may be awarded after a lengthy marriage if one spouse gave up the opportunity to pursue a career or education. If you request permanent alimony, the court will analyze several factors in making its decision as to whether you are eligible. The court will then decide if any of the other support orders are suitable, along with the permanent order.
In order to receive rehabilitative alimony, the requesting spouse is required to provide to the court the measures to be implemented for rehabilitation, the time period, and a time during which the spouse will be employed while receiving such alimony. The objective of rehabilitative alimony is to help the spouse become financially independent through training and education.
Reimbursement alimony pays a spouse who supported the other spouse through higher education, and who anticipated benefitting from the results of that work, but was unable to do so because of the divorce.
· The age, and physical and emotional health, of each spouse.

Mbappe waiting game continues
By The Nation On Apr 10, 2021
During PSG's 3-2 Champions League win over Bayern Munich, Jamie Carragher made the surprising claim on commentary that Kylian Mbappe had "never done it at the highest level".
In all seriousness, there is a growing sense in some quarters that the young Frenchman has outgrown his native top flight.
Losing both Mbappe and Neymar in one summer would be catastrophic for Mauricio Pochettino, but it's long been touted as a potential reality, with just one destination in mind for the Brazilian: his old haunt of Barcelona.
Mbappe's future is a little more uncertain, but two reports emerged which might shed some light on his intentions.
According to The Telegraph, there's now "genuine concern" that he'll move on and it's now only "50/50" that he'll stay at Parc des Princes.

He continues to resist signing a contract extension, despite sporting director Leonardo's best efforts dating back more than a year.
The report adds that some within the club think Mbappe has become "distracted" and while PSG don't want to sell, it is possible they could accept a fee deterred over a number of years rather than a one-off transfer payment from one of Europe's top clubs.
It's also emerged from Spain, specifically from Cadena Ser that Mbappe himself has decided on his next move, officially telling PSG he wants to leave.
The 22-year-old has decided he wants to join Real Madrid – but here's where the plot thickens.
It's stated Los Blancos also want to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer – and this doesn't sound like an 'either, or'.
"Mbappe isn't the only marquee signing Madrid are eyeing ahead of the summer transfer window," AS state. "Like Mbappe, the 20-year-old… has identified the Spanish capital as his destination of choice."

Temporary Business Partnership
Benefits of a Business
By Katie Jensen
What Is a Replacement Factor in Remanufacturing?
The Meaning of Pro Forma Net Income
Purpose of Adjusting Entries in a General Ledger
What Are the Differences Between Partnerships & Alliances in Business?
The Advantages of a Personal Service Corporation
A joint venture, or temporary business partnership, allows both parties to enjoy greater benefits than either could alone. Some joint ventures are long-term and last several years. Others are short-term, temporary partnerships. Joint ventures can be set up to increase sales, share intellectual property, conduct research, decrease manufacturing costs or expand distribution channels.
Customer Sharing
Joint ventures for online downloadable products is common. One joint venture partner presents his product to his partner's list of customers. The list owner gains a commission by having the sales go through a verifiable third party. The product owner benefits because his product is exposed to new customers. This also works offline. A motorcycle repair shop may announce to its customers that a motorcycle tire dealer is having a sale. If a tire customer mentions the repair shop's name, the customer receives a discount, and the shop may receive a commission.
A temporary business partnership uses the established distribution channel of one joint venture partner to sell the products of the other partner. The first company benefits because it receives a percentage of sales without devoting any resources to producing the product. The second company benefits because it doesn't have to struggle to set up distribution.
Joint venturing between a company that lacks manufacturing facilities and a company with excess manufacturing capacity results in a win-win situation for both. The manufacturer with down time keeps its employees and equipment employed on a full-time basis. The company without facilities doesn't have to invest in equipment.
Prospective partners may each lack the resources to hire a full-time service firm, such as a public relations company. If they put their funds together, however, they might have enough to interest the service firm. This strategy works when the companies complement each other, are in the same industry, or the service firm has a database that's useful for both. Services might also include research, ghostwriting or search engine optimization.
Make sure the responsibilities and rewards are clearly spelled out for both joint venture partners. If sales are involved there should be an objective third party that collects and distributes the funds. Alternatively, the company that collects the sales and pays the other joint venture partner can agree to be audited independently. The reputation of both joint parties should be positive, as one will reflect on the other. When intellectual property or research is concerned, a non-disclosure agreement should be completed by both parties.

Long Legs Boy
Benjamin Madison - Bio and Media
pb / 2012-10 / Fiction /
978-0-88982-290-0 / 220pp / $18.95
A twelve-year-old African boy named Modou is orphaned when his family dies from AIDS. He leaves his remote village in the Sahel, attaches himself to an African holy man and becomes a beggar in the city. The street smarts he thus gains enable him to survive when he is separated from his mentor. Modou befriends another orphaned boy, Umaru, and together they cope with the trials of street life: abuse, hunger, police brutality and inept interventions by social agencies.
Modou regularly evades the police and unwittingly becomes a popular hero for his cocky attitude and daring escapes. His indomitable spirit inspires political opposition in the country to unite and drives a determination in both the police force and the national army to capture or kill him. Despite being constantly thwarted, Modou never loses his optimism or his determination to rise above his circumstances. Long Legs Boy is the story of a hero, not the story of a victim.

April 6, 2010 | The Washington Post | Original Article
Why did some households get more census forms?
The Federal Eye has heard from several readers and colleagues concerned that they received another census questionnaire in the mail late last week despite already filling one out.
So why did some get a second form while others didn't?
The U.S. Census Bureau mailed second questionnaires to regions of the country that had the lowest 2000 Census response rates. In the Washington area, forms were mailed from April 1 to 3 to portions of Northeast and Southeast Washington, Montgomery and Prince George's counties in Maryland and Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax counties in Virginia. Other parts of those areas with slightly better but still low response rates will receive additional forms starting on April 10, the agency said.
This is the first time the Census Bureau has sent the forms again, after research by the agency and outsiders reported that mailing extra forms to low responding regions might boost response rates seven to 10 percentage points, a spokeswoman said.
Printing the additional forms will cost taxpayers about $42 million, but officials believe they will inevitably save more than $500 million in money not needed to hire temporary census takers.
If you already filled out a form and receive another one, destroy it, the agency said. The Census Bureau said it can avoid processing duplicate forms from the same address by tracking bar codes on each form.

State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), the asset management business of State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT), today announced that the Financial Services Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLFS) and the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLRE) began trading on the NYSE Arca. Providing precise exposure to financial services and real estate sectors, the newest Select Sector SPDRs reflect revisions to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) structure announced by S&P Dow Jones Indices that will be implemented in August 2016. XLFS and XLRE are the first new Select Sector SPDRs launched since the suite was introduced in 1998.
"Investors of all types are increasingly seeking to express a targeted investment viewpoint. Our sector SPDR ETFs have offered efficient exposure since 1998, and remain the industry standard," said James Ross, executive vice president and global head of SPDR Exchange Traded Funds at State Street Global Advisors. "As investors continue to expand their uses of sector ETFs, they are interested in gaining more granular exposure to financial companies, in particular being consistent with evolutions in the GICS standards. For those looking to maintain broad-based exposure to financials, our existing Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF), which provides the most liquid1 exposure to the broader financial sector, will remain unchanged."
Concurrent with the launch of both XLFS and XLRE, the expense ratios for the entire Select Sector SPDR ETF suite will be reduced from 0.15 percent to 0.14 percent. The gross expense ratio for XLFS and XLRE is 0.15 percent and after expense waivers of 0.01 percent the net expense ratio is 0.14 percent.2
"When we launched Sector SPDRs in 1998, our expense ratio was 0.65 percent. As more and more institutional and now individual investors have incorporated Sector SPDRs into their investment strategies, we have been able to drive our overall expenses down," said Dan Dolan, Director – Wealth Management Strategies, Select Sector SPDR Trust3. "The result is that today, Select Sector SPDRs are the undisputed leader in sector ETFs by assets and liquidity."4
The new XLFS fund will seek to track the Financial Services Select Sector Index, which includes companies from the following industries: diversified financial services, insurance, banks, capital markets, consumer finance, thrifts and mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs). The new XLRE fund will seek to track the Real Estate Select Sector Index, which includes real estate management, development and REITs, with the exception of mortgage REITs.
Both indices are maintained in accordance with the following criteria, which is consistent with the methodology for the other Select Sector Indexes:
Each security in the index is a constituent company of the S&P 500 Index; and
Both indices are calculated by Standard & Poor's using a modified market capitalization methodology.
SSGA's leading suite of US-listed select sector SPDR ETFs includes 11 funds with $84.3 billion in assets as of 9/30/15.5

In general, ETFs can be expected to move up or down in value with the value of the applicable index. Although ETF shares may be bought and sold on the exchange through any brokerage account, ETF shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund. Investors may acquire ETFs and tender them for redemption through the Fund in Creation Unit Aggregations only. Please see the prospectus for more details.
ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Index-based ETFs are passively managed and seek to track an index of securities. Expenses may cause the ETF's returns to deviate from the returns of the index.
Equity Securities may increase or decrease as a result of market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices.
Financial Services Sector Concentration Risk. Financial services companies may be subject to the risks of government regulation, deterioration of credit markets, losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and losses resulting from investment activities.
Non-diversified funds invest a greater portion of assets in fewer securities and therefore may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in the market.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) investing may be subject to risks including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrowers.
The S&P 500 is an index of approximately 500 common stocks that is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market. The index is weighted toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks.

Deconstructing globalization discourse, and unveiling its effects on education through critical pedagogy
Phillips, Christine (2008) Deconstructing globalization discourse, and unveiling its effects on education through critical pedagogy. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
A purposefully slippery and ambiguous definition of modern globalization is defining our epoch, rendering the perception of global citizens as powerless to affect it. In an attempt to unravel and understand globalization processes, a literature review of critical pedagogy was conducted in order to acquire the tools to investigate globalization critically. I examine processes of globalization and their effects on Western education, namely Canada and the U.S., and explore how critical pedagogy can be used as a tool to address some of the negative forces of globalization by acting as a vehicle for globalization from below. The investigation into critical pedagogy researches the foundations of critical pedagogy and its key concepts, as well as today's most prominent critical pedagogues, and some critiques. Most importantly, it attempts to link the economic, political, and cultural forces of globalization to the dominant ideology and hegemony driving them. This thesis hopes to contribute to the research in critical pedagogy's effectiveness by examining to what extent critical pedagogy is compatible with our modern epoch of globalization, and also to what degree the learner, I, was able to become critically conscious on the subject and thus in everyday life

The concerned doctor informed that the patient developed pneumonia and chest infection. The patient was referred to the Chest Specialist who found a little deposit of fluid in the chest. On 26th October, USG of the chest was done and the presence of plural effusion was found on both sides of lungs. Both doctors informed the family that the patient would recover fast by full dose of antibiotic and doctors would drain out the fluid by syringe. The condition of the patient was stable at that time.
On the very next day, it was informed that deposit of fluid was quite high and they would clear it by drain.
On 31st October about 50 ml fluid was cleared by drain. The doctors informed that the residue fluid would be cleared by antibiotics. However on 1st November, another doctor informed that a minor operation of 45 minutes' duration was to be done on the patient to clear residuary fluid.
With the consent of the family, on 5th November at about 5 pm operation was conducted. The condition of the patient was deteriorated. On 7th November 2013, the family was informed that blood had clotted in artery of lungs and, therefore, the patient needed a further operation.
On 8th November, Thoracoscopic Decortination operation was done upon the patient. On the next day, the blood was found coming out from the operation side. Patient's condition became critical; he was referred to Hematologist on 10th November. On 11th November, dialysis was advised due to poor output of urine. However, at 2.20 pm it was reported that the patient was dead.
After the death of the patient, his wife registered a case against the hospital and its doctors, alleging gross medical negligence on their part.
The complainant mentioned that the cause of death was shown to be "Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism". She alleged that the doctors in the hospital conducted "Thoracoscopic Decortination" operation at their own risk in order to make professional and commercial gain. They are all guilty of medical negligence as well as deficiency in service.
The doctors and the hospital jointly submitted the steps of treatment and operations as stated by the complainant in the petition of complaint are admitted. They mentioned that the patient died due to Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism, which is a known complication. There is no medical negligence or deficiency in service on their part, they claimed.
A doctor is to seek and secure the consent of the patient before commencing treatment/surgery and that the said consent must be voluntary and should be on the basis of "Adequate Information "regarding the nature of the treatment, procedure ,so that the patient or the patient party knows what is consenting to.
The Consumer Court observed that the doctors did not follow the said guidelines of the Supreme Court.
The operation has been conducted upon the patient several times. But, no valid consent has ever been taken by the Opponent Parties, though it is incumbent upon them to take such consent either from the patient or from the patient party. It has been stated by the complainant herself in her evidence and also in her pleadings that the hospital authority has managed to get some papers signed from her without informing her about the consequences of the operation to be conducted upon her husband. The hospital authority would have been able to file the consent form from which it would be clearly discernable what kind of consent had been accorded by the complainant to the surgery or treatment procedure conducted upon her husband by the doctors. Had that consent form been produced before the Forum, it would have been available from that form whether the opponent parties have explained the risk involved with the treatment/operation conducted upon the patient. But no such consent form has been produced before the Forum. In absence of such consent form, we feel no hesitation to say that the Opponent Parties did not ever take any consent from either the patient or the patient party for the treatment and operation conducted on the patient in the hospital.
"The complications developed following the surgery quite common in view of compromised cardiac status of patient. Ultimately the patient developed pulmonary Embolism which itself is a very fatal complication. This complication bears near 100% mortality. Unfortunately the patient had succumbed to death due to this very grave complication inspite of the best efforts of the doctors".
The operation has been conducted thrice upon the patient i.e on 31.10.2013, 7.11.2013 and lastly on 5.11.2013. On 31.10.2013, 50ml fluid had been aspirated from the chest of the patient, on 7.11.2013 pulmonary-CT-angiography was done and on 5.11.2010 "Thoracoscopic Decortination" operation was done upon the patient. All these are admitted by the O.Ps in the written statement filed by them. But , in no case of the operations, consent was taken by the O.Ps. There is no pleading that the operating doctors themselves explain the risk of operations to the patient or the complainant. Regards being had to this aspect in particular, we do say that it is gross medical negligence on the part of the O.P Doctors and also deficiency in service on their part.
It is established by the expert report that the patient died due to pulmonary embolism which is a fatal complication and it bears near 100% mortality. From this opinion of the expert, we can imagine how grave the complication is. This complication arose out of "Thoracoscopic Decortination" operation. If a particular operation is involved with such high risk, the surgeon who conducted such operation should have taken a second opinion before jumping into action.
Every prudent person will do it. Every prudent person will think twice over this matter while going to take such a risky step. But the doctors of the O.P-1 hospital did never bother to take a second opinion from any other especialised doctor of the field. They did not even care to explain the risk to the patient or the patient party. They kept all these suppressed. Is it not negligence on their part? Is it not deficiency in service on their part? In our opinion, the doctors of O.P-1 hospital had some ill intention in their mind. May be, they wanted to squeeze money from the complainant and ,therefore, they kept these suppressed to the complainant, because had they divulged the high risk factor of the said patient to the complainant, the patient would have gone out of their hospital. Such a conduct on the part of the hospital and the doctors of the hospital tantamounts to unfair trade practice.
The Consumer Forum finding the treating doctors to be guilty of gross medical negligence and directed them to pay are directed to pay compensation of Rs10 lakh to the complainant.
One and only lesson DONOT go out of your way to save patient.Very sad to say but this is what bengal is teaching us.Let not make miracle happen..save them who will be saved..Else be ready for consequences.
After taking all possible care, if hospital and doctors are blamed for medical negligence, then it is better you don't go for any complicated procedure unless party agree for high risk consent for each procedure separately clearly mentioning in that consent that party has been informed that it may not be possible to save the patient even after undergoing that procedure. If possible doctor or the hospital has to keep a video recording of that counselling.
Spells curtains for the art and science of medicine.
There is no defence for not obtaining proper informed consent. Although we need to establish that complications that occur less than 2-3% of the time after any procedure need not be communicated, otherwise no patient will ever get any procedure done and will succumb to the primary illness!
In a lighter vein, the judgement by the consumer forum should have been given after a second opinion and if the verdict is overruled in a higher court, the forum responsible for the judgement should be fined at least 50 lakhs.
Secondly it would be interesting to note the daily records and prescriptions…was any form of DVT prophylaxis given…stockings, anticoagulants etc…no mention of that has been made…..if not….gross negligence again…..
SO ALL IN ALL I WELCOME THIS JUDGEMENT AND WOULD REQUEST THE COURT TO RAISE THE COMPENSATION!!!
1. To take multiple consents as and when something new is being done.
2. If there is no consent then don\'t proceed whatever might be the emergency.
3. Ask a known specialist to jot down his opinion for being doubly safe, though it\'s totally unwarranted. Verdicts are also mostly by a single judge and not by benches which is same as one specialized doctor taking a call for patient \'s benefit.


We are now located in the Ina/Thornydale area. It is a great location with easy access to the highway, and for across town travel on Thornydale/River. We want to be sure that you know, we are still serving Tucson and the surrounding communities. As always, when you call to set up a tow, we will provide you an estimate of cost and of how long it will take us to get to you. We know how frustrating it is to be stuck on the side of the road, and how dangerous it can be. If you are stuck in a spot that will take us more than 30-45 minutes to get you, we will notify you of other companies that might be closer to your location and may have a faster response time for you.
Please know, this does not mean we do not want to serve you. Your safety is our biggest concern, and if another service can reach you faster, we would rather see you safely on your way than waiting in a dangerous situation for a far away driver. With that said, if the companies that may be closer to you have an extensive wait-time, we'd be happy to help get you on your way. Questions are always welcome, so do not hesitate to call: 520-578-5956 any time.
Since our last post, we have had the pleasure of moving a very large, 6,000 lbs. CT machine. We were going to share pictures, but it was pretty well wrapped, and it just looked like a giant cardboard box. We've also moved a couple of golf carts from the back of a big rig (called a bed-transfer), and delivered to the customer. We also had a late 60s Porsche that we had to maneuver out of a tight garage space from an odd angle in a tight driveway. That was a real success that my family was able to watch. It took a bit longer than a normal pick-up would, but the challenge of angles and the success of getting that beautiful car up on the bed made for a wonderful day.
We are grateful to be a part of the Tucson community, and glad to be a service to all of you. We wish you all a safe entrance to the holiday season. Thank you for allowing us to continue serving you.
