1.1. Seller means Graszoden- en Wormenkwekerij Berendsen (Chamber of Commerce file number: 61835595, legal form: Partnership, address: Luttekeveldweg 15, postal code and city: 7475 RX Markelo, VAT number: NL802390626B01) which is a party to the legal acts and agreements referred to in paragraph 2 as a supplier or seller. Buyer means the prospective buyer, prospective client and in general, the other party to the Seller's legal acts and agreements referred to in paragraph 2.
1.2. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery apply to all offers, quotations, price lists, agreements concluded and to be concluded and other (legal) acts of the Seller with regard to the sale and/or delivery of goods and/or services by the Seller.
1.3. Trade terms used in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery, quotations, order confirmations or otherwise shall be interpreted in accordance with the most recent version of the Incoterms of the International Chamber of Commerce as in force at the time of entering into the agreement.
1.4. If a written provision in an agreement between the Buyer and the Seller is in conflict with a provision in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery or with a provision of an applicable Incoterm, the written provision of the agreement shall prevail.
1.5. If these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery or the law stipulates the formal requirement that something must be in writing, this shall also include email messages.
1.6. Force majeure is understood to mean in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery: any shortcoming that is caused by circumstances that are beyond the reasonable control of the failing party, including in any case shortcomings as a result of power outages, telecommunication disorders, cybercrime, fire, sanction legislation, import and export restrictions, strikes, machine breakdowns, and business disruptions in or shortcomings of suppliers and other third parties involved in the execution of the agreement.
1.7. The present Terms and Conditions also apply to all agreements with the Buyer for the execution of which third parties must be involved.
2.1. Offers, quotations, price lists and other communications from the Seller about the goods and/or services are free of obligation.
2.2. In the event of a difference between the Buyer's order and the Seller's confirmation, only the Seller's confirmation shall be binding.
2.3. Verbal promises, agreements, additions and amendments to an agreement concluded between the parties shall only bind the Seller insofar as they have been confirmed by the Seller in writing.
2.4. If, in the Seller's reasonable opinion, the financial situation of the Buyer gives rise thereto, the Buyer will, at the Seller's request, be obliged to immediately pay in advance or provide security for the amount owed to the Seller, whereby the Seller will be entitled to suspend the full or partial execution of the agreement in anticipation thereof.
2.5. If the Seller is unable to deliver on time due to force majeure, the applicable delivery period will be extended by the duration of the force majeure.
2.6. The Buyer is obliged to observe confidentiality with regard to all information of which they become aware with regard to the sale and/or delivery of goods and/or services by the Seller and of which can reasonably be expected to be confidential, including prices and commercial matters, and will only use this information for the execution of the agreement concerned.
2.7. The goods delivered by the Seller are deemed to comply with the agreement if they meet the specifications agreed in writing. Unless quality standards have been agreed in writing and agreements to the contrary have been made, the goods must exclusively comply with the requirements of EU product legislation as applied in the Netherlands. The Buyer cannot derive any rights from any images, descriptions and information about price, size, weight and qualities of the goods in price lists, on websites or in other general publications by the Seller or third parties. The Seller bears no responsibility for the delivered goods being suitable for any purpose for which the Buyer wishes to process, handle or use the goods (or have them processed, handled or used), unless the Seller has explicitly confirmed the suitability for that purpose to the Buyer in writing. Samples will only be provided by way of indication. Minor deviations that are customary in the sector or that cannot reasonably be avoided from a technical point of view and differences in quality, colour, size, weight or finish do not constitute a shortcoming.
2.8. The Buyer guarantees that (i) when trading the goods in any form whatsoever (including sale, lease, processing), they will comply with all applicable laws and/or regulations and more specifically respect all export control and sanction regulations of the EU and UN and that (ii) the goods are not directly or indirectly intended or can probably be intended for any country for which a sanction is in force for the goods in question pursuant to UN or EU regulations, unless the Buyer has obtained an exemption or permit for this from a competent authority designated by the UN or EU. The Buyer undertakes to include this guarantee as a perpetual clause (or have it included) in subsequent agreements for the trading of the goods.
2.9. The applicability of any purchase or other terms and conditions of the Buyer is expressly rejected.
2.10. If one or more of the provisions in these General Terms and Conditions are invalid or should be declared invalid, the other provisions of these General Terms and Conditions shall remain fully applicable. The Seller and Buyer will then enter into consultations in order to agree new provisions to replace the invalid or nullified provisions, in which case, if and as far as possible, the purpose and purport of the original provision will be taken into account.
2.11. The agreement between the Seller and the Buyer will be concluded in one of the following ways and times: either, if no order confirmation is sent, at the time when an offer made by the Seller is explicitly accepted by the Buyer verbally or in writing and unchanged; or, if an order confirmation is sent; and/or at the time when the Seller, at the Buyer's request, has commenced the execution of the order. Each of the parties is nevertheless free to prove that the agreement was concluded in a different manner and/or at a different time.
2.12. If and insofar as required for the proper execution of the agreement, the Seller has the right to have certain work performed by third parties.
2.13. The Buyer will ensure that all information which the Seller indicates as necessary or which the Buyer should reasonably understand as necessary for the execution of the agreement, is provided to the Seller in good time. If the information required for the execution of the agreement is not provided to the Seller on time, the Seller has the right to suspend the execution of the agreement and/or to charge the Buyer at the usual rates for the additional costs arising from the delay.
3.1. The agreed delivery times and dates are always approximate.
3.2. If delivery cannot take place at the agreed time or within the agreed term, the Seller will be entitled to make partial deliveries and the Buyer will give the Seller a reasonable term for compliance by means of a notice of default.
3.3. Exceeding a final delivery time does not entitle the Buyer to compensation.
4.2. The Buyer must check the goods delivered immediately after delivery for any deviations from what has been agreed. Any shortages must be noted on the consignment note or delivery note. These shortages, as well as any other defects visible on delivery, must also be reported to the Seller in writing within 24 hours of delivery. The complaint letter must contain as detailed a description as possible of the complaint, so that the Seller is able to respond adequately. Non-visible defects must be reported in writing to the Seller by the Buyer within 24 hours after they have been discovered or should have been discovered.
4.3. If a defect has not been reported to the Seller within the applicable guarantee period or in accordance with paragraph 2, the Buyer no longer has the right to invoke that defect. The Buyer must keep the defective goods at the Seller's disposal and give the Seller the opportunity to examine these goods. Submitting a complaint does not entitle the Buyer to suspend their payment obligation. Any legal actions of the Buyer must be taken within one year after timely notification of a complaint at the risk of forfeiting any right to compensation.
4.4. The Seller's obligations in the event of defects in the goods and/or services delivered are limited to repair, redelivery or to crediting the invoice amount relating to the defective goods and/or services, at the Seller's discretion.
4.5. If the Seller provides advice in connection with or about the use, properties or applicability of the goods, such advice will be given to the best of its knowledge. However, the Seller is not liable for the incorrectness and/or incompleteness of these recommendations. In the event of an error in an advice, the Seller will, at its discretion, only be obliged to provide a new advice or, insofar as invoiced separately, to credit the amount paid or to be paid for the advice concerned.
4.6. The Seller is not liable for any damage suffered by the Buyer, regardless of whether such damage is based on a shortcoming, an unlawful act or any other legal ground.
4.7. The Seller is not liable for shortcomings as a result of force majeure.
4.8. In no event shall the Seller be liable for indirect damage, including loss of profit and turnover, installation and removal costs, loss of goodwill, compensation (including fines) owed to third parties and loss due to delay.
the goods have been stored longer than normal and it is likely that this has resulted in a loss of quality.
4.10. Insofar as the Seller cannot legally invoke paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 of this Article, the Seller's liability shall be limited to (a) the amount that the Seller's insurer pays out in this respect plus the Seller's deductible under the relevant insurance policy or (b) in the absence of any payment by the insurer, to the amount received by the Seller for the good or service to which the liability relates.
4.11. Employees, directors, representatives, suppliers and agents engaged by the Seller shall also be entitled to invoke the limitations of liability in this Article 4.
4.12. The Buyer indemnifies the Seller against all claims by third parties for compensation of damage or otherwise, as well as against all costs incurred and to be incurred and damage suffered and to be suffered by the Seller in connection therewith, which directly or indirectly arise from or are connected with goods and/or services sold, delivered or to be delivered by the Seller to the Buyer, including any work or advice.
4.13 Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery is intended to exclude or limit liability for damage caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of the Seller's management.
5.1. If the goods are ready for acceptance by the Buyer and the Seller has informed the Buyer thereof, the Buyer is obliged to accept them immediately. Non-compliance with this obligation entitles the Seller either to store the goods or to keep them in storage at the Buyer's risk and expense and to invoice the Buyer without it being possible to refuse payment on account of acceptance that has not yet taken place, without prejudice to the Seller's other rights.
5.2. Insofar as the Buyer is obliged to load or unload the goods, they are obliged to do so immediately. The Buyer must provide all cooperation that can reasonably be expected from them in order to enable the Seller to deliver. In the event of non-compliance with this obligation, the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article shall apply accordingly.
5.3. Delivery is from the factory, ex works (Incoterms) or from another production location if the product is not in stock at the Seller's premises, the Seller may charge additional costs for this, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
5.4. Irrespective of the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article, the Buyer and the Seller may agree that the Seller shall arrange for the transport. The risk of storage, loading, transport and unloading in that case shall be borne by the Buyer. The Buyer can insure themselves against these risks.
5.5. If there is a trade-in and the Buyer retains the item to be traded-in pending delivery of the new item, the risk of the item to be traded-in remains with the Buyer until the moment that they have placed it in the possession of the Seller. If the Buyer is unable to deliver the item to be traded-in in the condition in which it was when the agreement was concluded, the Seller may rescind the agreement.
5.6. If the provisions of paragraphs 1 and/or 2 of this Article are violated, the Buyer shall owe the Seller a penalty of EUR 250 per day with a maximum of EUR 25,000. This fine may be claimed in addition to complementary damages by virtue of the law.
6.1. The prices quoted by the Seller are based on any information provided with the request and exclusive of turnover tax and other levies and are based on delivery ex works.
6.2. If, after the date of an agreement but before delivery one or more cost price, factors undergo an increase – even if this occurs due to foreseeable circumstances – the Seller is entitled to increase the agreed price accordingly.
6.3. All payments must be made within 14 days of delivery, net in cash or by advance payment, and without the Buyer being entitled to any discount or set-off not expressly agreed. Deviating payment arrangements must be agreed in writing. The Buyer's right to set off any claims it may have against the Seller or to suspend its obligations is expressly excluded.
6.4. The applicable payment term is a strict deadline. If this deadline is exceeded, the Buyer will be in default immediately. In the event that the Seller is of the opinion that the Buyer is in a bad financial situation or that the bankruptcy or suspension of payments of the Buyer has been filed or declared, the Buyer will immediately be in default and all claims against the Buyer will be immediately due and payable.
The actual extrajudicial costs incurred shall be due if they are higher than the result of the above calculation.
6.6. The Seller is entitled to suspend the delivery of goods if and as long as the Buyer does not, not fully, not properly or not on time, meet any obligation towards the Seller arising from an agreement.
7.1. All goods delivered shall remain the property of the Seller until the Buyer has paid all claims relating to the goods delivered or to be delivered by the Seller to the Buyer under the agreement or relating to work performed or to be performed for the Buyer by the Seller, as well as all claims due to failure to perform such agreements. Until that time, the Buyer is obliged to keep the goods delivered by the Seller separate from other goods and clearly identified as the Seller's property and to insure them properly and keep them insured, as well as not to process the goods.
7.2. If the Buyer fails to fulfil any obligation under paragraph 1 of this Article towards the Seller, or if there is a well-founded fear that the Buyer will not fulfil the aforementioned obligations, the Seller shall be entitled, without notice of default being required, to immediately take possession of the delivered goods, wherever they may be. The costs thereof shall be borne by the Buyer.
7.3. As long as the above claims have not been paid, the Buyer is not entitled to alienate the goods in question or to establish a pledge or non-possessory pledge and/or encumber the goods in question in any other way.
the Seller reasonably suspects that the goods are destined, directly or indirectly, for any country for which a sanction is in force for the goods concerned pursuant to UN or EU regulations, without any exemption or licence having been obtained from a competent authority designated by the UN or EU.
8.2. Furthermore, only after the force majeure on the part of the Seller as referred to in Article 2 paragraph 5 has lasted more than three (3) months, both the Buyer or Seller can dissolve the agreement in writing and only for that part of the obligations that have not yet been fulfilled. In that case, the parties will not be entitled to compensation for the damage suffered or to be suffered as a result of the dissolution.
9.1. All agreements and (legal) acts to which these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery apply shall be governed by Dutch law. The applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna Convention) is excluded, as is any existing or future international regulation on the sale of movable tangible property whose effect can be excluded by the parties.
9.2. All disputes in connection with the agreements and (legal) acts to which these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery apply, which may arise between the parties, shall be exclusively adjudicated by the competent court in the Netherlands within whose jurisdiction the Seller's place of business is located, except that the Seller remains competent to submit a dispute to the court that would have been competent in the absence of this provision.
9.3. Insofar as these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery have also been drawn up in a language other than Dutch, the Dutch text shall always be decisive in the event of differences.


Autism is an exceedingly complex, mysterious disorder. It is defined as a neurodevelopmental condition that affects behavior. One reason autism is difficult to diagnose is because its symptoms resemble those of other conditions, including mental retardation, genetic disease, or toxic metal poisoning. In fact, there is a school of thought that believes autism is caused by lead or mercury poisoning early in life.
The symptoms of autism do show up at an early age, and it is the parents, grandparents, or other caregivers who notice that something is wrong. Perhaps the child isn't babbling as other babies do, or hasn't said "Mama" or "Dadda" around the age that nieces and nephews, or the friends' children, have spoken simple words. On the other hand, the child may have been developing normally, but then suddenly stopped talking, or no longer wanted to be around other children.
The field of psychiatry refers to autism as belonging to one of the group of disorders called pervasive development disorders (PDD). Those persons affected by a milder form of autism can learn to take care of themselves. Eventually, they may lead quite independent lives, in spite of retaining some difficulty with the nuances of communication. For others, such an autonomous lifestyle will not be possible.
A pediatrician can screen for autism by simply observing how a child reacts in the office, appropriate to his or her age. Screening tests include a checklist or questionnaire, but a pediatrician may order additional tests to rule out other conditions. For example, lack of response to stimulation may indicate deafness, not autism.
If there is reason to suspect autism, the child's doctor will refer the parents and child to a specialist in developmental disorders. That specialist in turn will bring in other medical personnel who are trained in speech and language. Therapists and social workers may also be involved in the evaluation, which will be comprehensive.
There are no simple x-rays or lab tests that can confirm a diagnosis of autism, even after it is made. However, the results of the extensive evaluation will be indicative of autism's existence in the child. Individuals who have been diagnosed with autism will have several, but not necessarily all, of the problems associated with the condition.
Professionals who have evaluated the child may not always suggest the same treatments to help him progress socially and educationally. Having to choose between the treatment approaches can put a heavy burden on the parents, so talking over concerns with autism support groups is often helpful. For example, at least one parent may not want the child to be "drugged" all the time. In addition, proper dosages and monitoring for side effects of medicine in children are of great concern.
Behavioral management, with or without the aid of medication, is an accepted standard. Behavioral management involves discouraging inappropriate behavior while rewarding appropriate activities. Behavioral specialists spend a great deal of time each week with the child, up to 40 hours. However, there must be cooperation between the therapists, the family and other contacts, and the local educational system for the therapy to be successful.

5-Star Reviews 5.0 rating on Google Reviews
Commercial truck and tractor-trailer drivers must follow a variety of local, state and federal regulations to stay certified. Among those requirements is maintaining a log of their time operating their vehicle – commercial drivers are only allowed to operate their trucks for a limited amount of time daily. Following these regulations keeps drivers from getting fatigued, and prevents unnecessary and catastrophic accidents.
But if a driver fails to properly maintain his or her logs, or outright violates those regulations, the general public is put at risk. Study upon study proves that fatigue and general sleepiness can exponentially reduce a driver's ability to safely operate a tractor-trailer. When a driver is fatigued, they tend to overcompensate – over-correct, excessively brake, and overreact. And when that happens, they can swerve on the highway, jackknife, roll over, lose cargo, hit multiple vehicles and, possibly, fatally injure one or more people.
Pressure to Perform
Commercial drivers who are fatigued typically aren't doing this out of malice – they're doing what they're told. Companies can put pressure on drivers to spend more time on the road, make deliveries more quickly and get more work done in less time. Sometimes, the trucking company can also doctor drivers' logbooks, or influence a driver to keep inaccurate logs to cover up extra hours.
This pressure to do more work in less time is more than an aggravation for a driver, it's putting thousands of people in Chicago and Illinois at risk. When a driver is asked to drive more than they're allowed, they're not just violating the law – they're jeopardizing people's safety.
If You're Affected
Trucking accidents are extremely serious incidents. If you, or someone you love, have been in an accident with a tractor-trailer, it's imperative that you get an attorney who can go through the necessary legal steps to hold the right parties accountable.
The Lamber Goodnow legal team has handled tractor-trailer cases for decades. Our team knows how to analyze logbooks, assess certifications, investigate driver and trucking company histories, and determine if negligence was at issue in your accident.
Too often, trucking companies that are liable can pressure victims and their families to settle quickly – these companies have the manpower to fight claims, hide or fail to provide information, and overwhelm families. That's why you need a trucking accident specialist fighting for you – we've gone up against the trucking companies, and we've been successful.
Helping Your Family
Accidents like these aren't just about the collision. The aftermath is extensive. Beyond your immediate medical bills and the loss of your vehicle, there are other factors to consider such as rehabilitation, lost wages, emotional damages, and the effect on your family. Too often we think about just medical bills but fail to realize that families are shattered by these accidents. Losing a parent, and a paycheck, can have drastic ramifications.
With our downtown Chicago office and with our partner firms, we work with families who've suffered as the result of tractor-trailer accidents. Our team knows how trucking companies operate, and we'll investigate to find out whether any driver log violations contributed to your accident.
Our team will collaborate with experts in accident reconstruction, the trucking injury, catastrophic injuries and physical rehabilitation to understand all aspects of your accident. We'll recover evidence, research records and interviews from the scene, and will work to establish liability. We'll do all of this quickly – some of this information has a tendency to get lost in the days after an accident.
Our team will pore over the driver's log book to look for patterns as well as inconsistencies. We'll find out what the cargo was, where it was going, and what the plan was for that load. We'll also look at certifications and permits to verify whether any local, state or federal regulations were violated.
The No-Fee Promise
And we'll do all of this without charging you any fees. Our No-Fee Promise means that we work on our clients' behalf without sending them bills and charging them money.
If we take on your case, you won't pay us any fees or costs. We'll handle the costs of the investigation and your case. We only get paid if we recover money for you.
If you or a family member have been involved in a tractor-trailer accident, it's important to get in touch with an attorney immediately. You can call us at (312) 757-7777, 24/7 to schedule a no-obligation consultation with one of our attorneys.
During this conversation, we'll assess your case and go over your options. And all of this is free to you, and your family. Call us today, so you can focus on recovery and not fighting the trucking company.

To succeed in business, which is more valuable?
Q: When it comes to succeeding in business, which is more important: education or experience?
A: Have you seen the TV show "Fear Factor"? If you haven't seen it, you've probably heard about it. "Fear Factor" is the show where they put contestants through all sorts of pseudo death-defying feats, like bungee jumping off a bridge over a pool of crocodiles and driving a car through a wall of fire. (You know, the stuff we did for fun in high school.) The contestant who overcomes his or her personal fear factor wins the cash and prizes at the end (usually at the cost of their dignity, but I digress).
The highlight of "Fear Factor" is the eating competition. That's when contestants are invited to partake of all sorts of culinary fare-yummy stuff like monkey brains, all manner of live bugs and spiders, moose intestines, old fruitcake (the horror!) and my personal favorite, live giant worms. At this point, the competition becomes not so much who can overcome their fear factor, but who has the lowest gag reflex.
Your question makes me feel a little like those contestants, because no matter how I answer, I am opening a can of giant worms that I will undoubtedly be forced to eat later. My highly educated peers will argue that education is much more important than experience, while my highly experienced peers will argue that experience is more important. Either way, it's worms a la carte for me.
Oh well, I've eaten more than my share of crow over the years. How much worse can worms be?
It's important to understand that the success of an entrepreneur is not measured by how much education he or she has or by how many years of experience are under his or her belt. An entrepreneur's success is measured by achievements, not words on a resume.
By definition, an entrepreneur is a risk-taking businessperson; someone who sets up and finances new commercial enterprises to make a profit. Entrepreneurs start businesses. The smart ones then hire MBAs to run them.
Let's start with education. Is a bachelor's degree or better required to succeed in business? Of course not. An MBA from Harvard might give you a leg up in a job interview, but it certainly doesn't guarantee you will succeed in business. Nor does it automatically mean that you will be a better businessperson than someone who didn't finish high school. Knowledge is a good thing-if you know what to do with it.
Perhaps it is the academic environment itself that turns mere mortal nerds into budding entrepreneurs. The late '90s proved that college students with no experience beyond organizing a frat keg party could start businesses that would exceed all expectations. Many would argue that the key to success for most of these ventures was that the founders (or the venture capitalists financing them) were smart enough to know that while they had an abundance of education, they needed experienced managers to really run the show.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin were college students when they started the company that would become Google. They were smart enough to bring in Eric Schmidt to be chairman and CEO when the business took off. Schmidt was the former CEO of Novell and CTO of Sun Microsystems. A Ph.D., Schmidt is a man of education and experience.
Jerry Yang and David Filo were candidates in electrical engineering at Stanford when they started Yahoo! (Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle) in 1994. They brought in Tim Koogle from Motorola to run things shortly thereafter, and now the company is led by Terry Semel, who previously spent 24 years running Warner Bros.
So, when it comes to succeeding in business, which is more important: education or experience? While neither is as helpful as a rich relative, here's the answer that will hopefully help me avoid those worms: Both education and experience can play a large part in business success. The more important question is: Can you succeed in business without one or the other, or even without both? And the answer to that one is yes. Can I get ketchup with those worms?
Many successful businesses were started by first-time entrepreneurs who never went to college. Natural talent, ambition, drive, determination and good old dumb luck have fueled many successful entrepreneurs, myself included. I don't have a degree. (I drove past a college once. It looked hard, so I kept going.) Would a degree have helped make my business trek easier? Perhaps. Then again, I know people with advanced degrees who are flipping burgers at McDonald's. It's good experience, I suppose.

The 2021 Commercial Vehicle Show has opened with a celebratory atmosphere at the NEC, with exhibitors and visitors getting straight down to business as soon as doors opened at 8.30 yesterday morning.
The vast halls of the NEC have been humming with the excitement of clients and suppliers being able to meet face-to-face for the first time in more than two years.
Thousands of visitors have already passed through the doors to see the very latest products and services on offer from more than 200 exhibitors. Coffee machines have been working overtime to keep up with demand, lubricating the many discussions taking place across all the stands, from the largest to the smallest.
Attendance has also been strong at the new live theatre programme running throughout the show on two separate stages. Covering a wide range of topics, the two live theatres have seen industry experts discussing everything from tyres to telematics and logistics to legislation.
The Commercial Vehicle Show has long been the UK's premier event for the road transport industry, and this year's event has already exceeded expectations in terms of attendance and media coverage. With two full days still to run and demand for tickets remaining strong, it has been a welcome return to business for everyone present.
Murray Ellis, Show Director, said: "The road transport sector has been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get back to face-to-face networking again, and we've been thrilled to see so many enthusiastic visitors already on the first day of the Show.
"Our exhibitors are reporting that it's great to be back at a live business event, and we're looking forward to welcoming even more people tomorrow and Thursday."

Fantasy Cycle
Nibali wins the stage, Bernal wins the Tour
Vincenzo Nibali won the shortened final mountain stage of this year's Tour de France, while Egan Bernal rode steadily to maintain his overall lead and effectively become the first-ever Colombian to win the Tour.
The decision to truncate Stage 20 was made as a precaution shortly after the chaotic finish of yesterday's stage, which was nullified when hailstorms flooded the roadways and triggered a mudslide that blocked off the route. The decision cut 71 kilometers and two major climbs (plus their descents) out of the itinerary for today, paring the stage down to just 59 kilometers from Albertville, along the valley floor, and then up the 34-kilometer, beyond-category climb to Val Thorens.
Predictably, the action started as soon as the stage got underway. Several breakaway groups formed across the wide motorway, but by the time they hit the foothill of the climb, it was a single group of around 25 riders, with an advantage of two minutes over the group containing Bernal and the other favorites for overall victory.
With 11 kilometers still to climb, Nibali lit off from what had become a small group of just himself, Michael Woods, Tony Gallopin, and Ilnur Zakarin. Woods tried to follow but appeared to go into the red quite quickly and nearly came to a standstill.
Meanwhile, the group of favorites – led for most of the climb by the Jumbo-Visma team of Steven Kruijswijk – set a steady fast pace that quickly began to shed lesser riders. With 13 kilometers to go, they had achieved their goal for the day: dropping 14-day race leader Julian Alaphilippe, who had started the stage in second place. The growing gap soon meant that Geraint Thomas would move into second place, and Kruijswijk would move into third. From that point on, there was almost zero action among the favorites, none of whom dared risking the positions they had just achieved.
The Bernal group did, however, begin to eat into the gap behind Nibali in the final kilometer, but the Sicilian – one of only two current riders to have won all three Grand Tours – held on for the win. Alejandro Valverde made a dash for second (challenging the assumption that he rides poorly at high elevation), and teammates Bernal and Thomas crossed the line together with hands clasped 17 seconds behind the winner.
Alaphilippe, meanwhile, fought all the way to the finish but conceded three minutes and seventeen seconds on the day. He now drops from second place overall to fifth.
Tomorrow the riders will depart from Rambouillet for a 127-kilometer ride to Paris that will begin with ceremonial champagne but will end in nine laps of the famed Champs-Elysées, where the sprinters will have one last chance for victory before this Tour de France comes to an end.

Thurrock: Appeal for anyone affected following M25 protest
Our investigations into disruption on the M25, Thurrock in Essex are progressing and we remain in consistent dialogue with the Crown Prosecution Service on the issue.
Officers responded to an incident on the M25 on Wednesday 20 July when a protestor gained access to an overhead gantry near Junction 30 for Thurrock.
This resulted in the motorway having to be closed and a specialist working at heights team having to be brought to the scene to get the protestor down safely.
Their actions meant disruption was kept to an absolute minimum for motorists in Essex.
The arrest has led to an investigation and, like other forces affected, we are continuing to work with the Crown Prosecution Service.
Our investigations are progressing and we are now asking for anyone who was inconvenienced during these incidents to please come forward and do so.
This would include people who could not attend medical appointments, could not attend planned work or who missed anything significant through the disruption.
This does not include motorists who were simply caught in the congestion caused by the disruption.
"This incident caused significant disruption"
Detective Sergeant Harriet Ware, who is leading the Essex Police investigation, said:
"We are aware this incident caused a significant amount of disruption to motorists and many people have been significantly inconvenienced by them.
"Our complex investigations are progressing and we would now like to hear from anyone who has not yet spoken to us but believes they have been inconvenienced by the disruption.
"I know a substantial number of people will have been simply delayed by the disruption but specifically I would like to hear from anyone who could not attend medical appointments, could not attend planned work and therefore missed out on payment, missed, or were severely delayed, attending any significant life events.
"Coming forward will help us progress our investigations and help ensure we can keep the county's roads moving freely in future."
Anyone who was significantly inconvenienced on 20 July please email [email protected]

Q: Can the parent constructor be inherated without parameters in C#? Say you have a parent class with lots of subclasses. If the constructor of the parent gets a new parameter you would have to change all the children constructors, too. Is there a way to inherit the parent constructor without naming all the parameters?
Code that I want to write, but gives the error 'There is no argument given for the formal parameter...':
public abstract class A
{
    public A(someType somePar)
    {
    }
}

public class B : A
{
}

Annoying solution:
public abstract class A
{
    public A(someType somePar)
    {
    }
}

public class B : A
{
   //If there is a new parameter, this would need to change
   B(someType somePar) : base(somePar)
   {
   }
}

Sorry if there is an obvious solution to this, I'm writing for the first time with C#

The Wyoming teacher association, which is providing legal representation to Northwest College's embattled faculty journalism adviser, is urging supporters of the student newspaper to contact college trustees seeking reconsideration of a 4-2 vote to eliminate Northwest's journalism courses.
The board of Northwest College will be asked Monday to ratify President Stefani Hicswa's proposal to eliminate journalism courses. The college has been twice accused of retaliating against faculty advisers -over unflattering news coverage.
For the second time since 2010, the student media adviser at a two-year Wyoming college finds his job imperiled after students published articles about campus controversies that displeased administrators.


Because God is holy, only the priests could approach God in the temple – and only if they followed specific instructions. Ordinary people had no direct access to the holy presence of God. Jesus changed all that. By His death on the cross, Jesus took away our sin. We can approach God intimately and individually when we trust Jesus as Lord and Savior.
God chose Solomon to build a temple where He would well with His people.

By Steve Lieber
Quick Leonard Kieffer is fortunate to have Steve Lieber on its team as Of Counsel. With a long tenure of leadership in healthcare data and information management, innovation, and policy, Steve discusses the current state of healthcare data and IT, as well as what he anticipates the future landscape will look like as a result of the COVID‐19 crisis.
The Great Recession of 2008/2009 impacted health care for a very short time, as health care is an industry that is often largely immune to general changes in the economy. By contrast, COVID‐19 has understandably had a significant negative impact on the industry, particularly on public hospitals that serve as safety net facilities, although all acute care settings are faced with the loss of revenue from elective procedures and routine visits. The provider world today, in many cases, is simply trying to keep its head above water; that is true with regard to technology and information systems, as well as clinically. Existing systems and resources are stretched on a daily basis, resulting in a strong focus on ensuring that systems are running and that technology resources – medical devices (e.g. ventilators, respirators, and monitors) as well as information systems – are available to support caregivers, keeping the technology and IS areas of provider organizations extremely busy. Although the CARES Act will provide $100 billion in relief funds to hospitals and other healthcare providers on the front lines of the coronavirus response to help address lost revenue, some hospitals may be challenged to the point of facing closure, while all will certainly be faced with the challenge of having sufficient resources to invest in technology.
Changes in the Air
Changes in the delivery of care are already occurring, and there is no doubt in my mind that a positive consequence of the pandemic is that it has pushed us to recognize in a very blatant way something that has been on the periphery for some time – that remote care and monitoring are viable substitutes for some care occurrences that previously took place in a doctor's office or hospital. Regulations have changed, reimbursement is changing, and providers are more widely accepting the concept of telehealth. The Amwell telehealth platform has seen usage of its app increase by 158% since January, with a 650% increase in the state of Washington, according to Quartz. (The challenge with routine care being provided through telehealth, however, is that a significant portion of the population does not have a primary care physician, as underinsured and uninsured patients are often able to receive care only by going to an emergency department where they cannot be refused.)
An increase in remote visits and monitoring will necessitate increased technology investment in three areas – at the provider site, at the patient site, and in connectivity between the two. The devices that patients will have in their homes will not only proliferate in number, but will become more sophisticated, with the ability to accomplish diagnostic work by capturing data (e.g. blood oxygen, blood pressure, temperature, electrical activity of the heart) and transmitting it to the appropriate sites. Testing has been a significant issue with COVID‐19, and I foresee remote home testing also becoming more prevalent, with the capability to move beyond video chats to cameras that can be inserted into ears or throats to diagnose infection. The first home pregnancy test was patented in 1969, and I foresee many more such home‐ based tests for conditions that are not life‐threatening emerging. As there is increased complexity of the information being streamed, the consumption of bandwidth will increase and investment in internet infrastructure will be part of the changes we will see, as well.
Concierge medicine – personalized, "on call" medical services provided on a subscription basis – will likely also see an increase for a select population, providing immediate access to care for low‐level illnesses and injuries. Across the country, the "drive‐through" model has been employed as a new way of delivering care and testing. Although it is currently a necessity due to volume and contagion, lessons are being learned to potentially implement this in a planned environment in the future.
Unfortunately, in the current U.S. healthcare system, disadvantaged populations – whether economically or in terms of mental health challenges – tend to be left behind. The hope is that a crisis such as COVID‐ 19 will intensify the focus on public health issues rather than individual health issues, recognizing that the health of one segment of the population impacts that of everyone else. The discussion around population health has been taking place for a number of years as hospitals focus on it as an aspect of their community obligation, but it has largely been in the framework of insured patients.
We have learned that we do not have the human capacity in our healthcare system to absorb unprecedented spikes of whatever kind – the technology may be available, but a human must be available to receive and respond to the data coming in. Many industries are facing difficulty in keeping up with customer service as utilization has skyrocketed, and I expect that health care will experience the same.
There will also be an impact on capital thinking as this shift in care occurs, consistent with what we have seen over the past 20‐30 years as long inpatient stays have become short inpatient stays, then outpatient visits, and then urgent care visits. Some capital devoted to brick‐and‐mortar healthcare facilities will be shifted as volume decreases with the growth of remote care. Healthcare organizations with plans for facility expansion may put these plans on hold until it can be determined whether the impact will be dramatic enough to rethink new space and put resources elsewhere.
A non‐clinical impact that nonetheless draws in technology is supply chain. This infrastructure had evolved to one of maintaining a small on‐hand inventory with "just‐in‐time" delivery; however, shortages of supplies across the country for dealing with COVID‐19 may challenge this model, prompting a return to maintaining much larger supplies in‐house. Technology tools will be required to manage the supply chain and meet community expectations.
During the fallout from Hurricane Katrina, we heard very quickly – and very loudly – about the problems that resulted from not having electronic medical records in place. During COVID‐19, however, we are not hearing about challenges with patient data, as the focus is on immediate patient care. When we emerge, I believe that there will be more conversations about these issues, as the importance of having information flow between the medical group practices, the outpatient clinics, the ED, and the hospital is recognized. When data is analyzed, I think some disturbing results will emerge in terms of a lack of data hindering care; however, this must take a back seat to the immediate medical crisis.
A majority of COVID‐19 deaths have occurred among adults older than 60 years and individuals with serious underlying health conditions. A greater sensitivity has, therefore, developed to protecting those most at risk, which goes hand in hand with the need to identify risk early on through testing. We are likely to see a strong emphasis on recognizing, identifying, and tracking those most at risk, as well as those who are likely to be sources of infection. We will see a significant change in our capacity for earlier detection, isolation, and protection of those at risk, reminiscent of the mass inoculation that occurred after a polio vaccine was developed in the 1950s.
A Healthcare CIO's Go‐Forward Strategy
As a healthcare CIO exiting the COVID‐19 crisis, my first task would be to perform an internal assessment and debriefing; in essence, grading myself and my IT organization on how we handled the demand with our existing technology and systems, addressing what worked and did not and any weaknesses that might have been uncovered in dealing with a crisis. It is not necessarily possible to be ready for a crisis of this magnitude to occur 24/7, 365 days a year, and no one yet knows what the metric will be that healthcare systems will use in planning; however, we can make sure that our existing plant and resources are working and are suitable for something "above normal." We will not return to past state and forgo concern about these situations happening again; as a result, some IT strategic planning to assess routine technology resources and how they would fare will be in order.
Secondly, I would reassess emergency preparedness based on probabilities to determine what would be done and what should be built for. What could we have done or had in place to make dealing with COVID‐ 19 easier? This leads to diving into in‐house resources that are available but not routinely used – capacities that could be brought in as needed – including medical equipment.
Third is reassessing the organization's external role and resources in the community – seeking how to expand capability in serving the community without patients coming to the campus, which necessitates creating the right kinds of technology relationships with primary care. When assisted living facilities and nursing homes are part of a health system, they provide an ideal environment for remote monitoring, as their patients are long‐term, and acute care CIOs can employ technology to support those caregivers in the care processes and to bring adult children into the loop.
An additional area of exploration for a hospital or health system CIO would be opportunities to serve as a technology provider. Several clients of Quick Leonard Kieffer operate as resources to other healthcare organizations in the community through a centralized IT structure – selling technical expertise to the broader community is a role I believe will emerge in the future for IT leadership in the large provider setting.
CIOs will also be faced with more actively engaging and driving consumers to utilize technology at home. Providers will need to create incentives for consumers to have the right equipment to support the new model of more sophisticated at‐home care. Incentives will also be required for primary care physicians to drive utilization in better connecting to patients without a disruption in care, both from an appropriateness of care position and a revenue position. From the clinical and financial perspectives, there are things to be done to drive greater engagement between patient, primary care, medical groups, and the enterprise trying to pull all of this together.

Eating Chocolate Twice A Week Could Save Your Life

Eating Chocolate Twice A Week Could Save Your Life If You Have Had A Heart Attack
Heart attack survivors who snack on chocolate at least twice a week could greatly reduce their risk of dying from coronary disease, according to research.
A Swedish study shows victims who eat chocolate regularly are nearly 70 per cent less likely to die from cardiac problems than those who rarely eat it.
Even a weekly chocolate treat can help, almost halving the risk of death from heart problems.
The findings, published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, are the latest in a long line of studies highlighting the health benefits of chocolate, especially dark chocolate.
Previous investigations have found dark chocolate, which is rich in disease-busting antioxidants called flavonoids, can lower the risk of blood clots, protect against bowel cancer and even help prevent premature births.
Antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease.
Every year, around 270,000 people in Britain suffer a heart attack, and coronary disease remains Britain's biggest killer.
About a third die before reaching hospital, often because they have delayed seeking help.
If someone survives a heart attack, they can still be left with severe damage that drastically increases their risk of dying from cardiac problems in the future.
But research by experts at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, indicates snacking on chocolate could be the perfect remedy.
They tracked 1,169 patients aged between 45 and 70 who had been admitted to hospital with a heart attack between 1992 and 1994.
Each one was quizzed on dietary habits, including how much chocolate they ate. All the patients were then followed up for nearly a decade.
The results showed those eating a few chunks of chocolate twice a week or more were 66 per cent less likely to die from cardiac disease than non-eaters.
Chocolate once a week reduced the risk by almost half and even an occasional treat, once a month or less, had a small benefit, cutting the risk by 27 per cent.
But other sweets were no help at all.
In a report on their findings, the researchers said: 'The health effects of chocolate have been of great interest in recent years.
'But we know of no other studies assessing the possible effects of chocolate on post-heart attack prognosis.We found it had a strong inverse association with subsequent cardiac mortality.'
However, it is unlikely that indulging in high-fat milk chocolate – the most popular type in the UK – will have the same advantages.
Ellen Mason, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: 'We need to interpret this study with caution as it's based on decade old events, and our diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks have moved on considerably since that time.
'Being high in sugar and saturated fat, chocolate is unlikely to prove a miracle solution for heart disease.
'Dark chocolate does contain antioxidants, but we can all get the beneficial effects of anti-oxidants by eating plenty of fruit and vegetables and should keep chocolate as an occasional treat in a healthy, balanced diet.'
The findings come soon after claims from manufacturers in Switzerland who say they are on the verge of marketing a 'healthy' chocolate that has all the taste and 90 percent fewer calories than the sinful original.

In conjunction with Cedar City and Cedar City Music Arts, Southern Utah University will host some of the world's top ballet talent when the Royal Ballet visits February 2-4, 2009. Though the troupe is coming for a performance, they will also be offering an opportunity for local residents to attend an instructional class from the Ballet's master teachers and faculty who have graced some of the world's most renowned stages.
In addition to a shared concert performance that will include local high school and dance companies, instructors of the ballet will conduct two master classes open to community residents of all ages.
One class will be geared to those with intermediate to advanced dance experience and the other will address skills intended for late beginner to early-intermediate dancers.
According to SUU's Director of Development Michael Anderson, who is coordinating the project locally, "The purpose of this visit is to provide a cultural exchange for local dance students and teachers with students and teachers from the Royal Ballet School. This unique visit will also provide school children and citizens of southern Utah an opportunity to witness some of the rising stars in the world of ballet."
In addition to the master classes, the ballet will conduct a lecture demonstration for Iron County school children, special teacher training and instruction for elementary teachers and a special master class for SUU dance students.
While additional information about the Ballet's planned performances is forthcoming, the region's dance enthusiasts who are interested in attending one of the Ballet's open master classes are encouraged to apply early on, as registration is accepted on a first come, first serve basis until each class is filled.
Additional information and master class registration forms can be accessed online through SUU's College of Performing and Visual Arts.
Registration for each master class is just $25. The instructional class for elementary teachers is just $15 per participant. All class registrations include one ticket to the Royal Ballet's February performance in southern Utah.
The Royal Ballet School will be traveling to SUU with a troupe of 27 artists, two dance education specialists, three ballet masters/teachers, two technical staff members and a company manager.
The Royal Ballet has been at the cornerstone of classical British ballet for over eighty years. Its legacy has been to provide the world with generations of renowned dancers and choreographers. The School continues to aspire to train young people with a gift and desire to dance, nurturing and refining them into talented and inspirational performers who will follow in the footsteps of the other Royal Ballet School students.

Spear's meets Zurab Tsereteli – the most famous artist you've never heard of
6th February 2019 by Arun Kakar
Big in Russia, doesn't quite cut it for Zurab Tsereteli, who has his first major UK retrospective at the Saatchi right now. Arun Kakar uncovers the life and work of one of Russia's most prolific artists – who's also admired by Donald Trump
The work of Zurab Tsereteli is omnipresent in Russia, particularly in Moscow where his public monuments are a fixture of the city's skyline. His 94-metre Peter the Great sculpture in downtown Moscow is the eighth tallest statue in the world, and he has undertaken important commissions across the Russian capital including the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
And Tsereteli is not just a big name in Russia; he counts among his admirers, the US President Donald Trump, who has described him as 'major'. Tsereteli has also played a fundamental role of shaping his country's artistic trajectory throughout the second half of the 20th century. His list of accomplishments is remarkable: he is founder of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, president of the Russian Academy of Arts and a goodwill ambassador for UNESCO. He is a recipient of the 'Honored Artist of Georgia' title and the Legion d'honneur.
'For him, the main thing is to create works,' explains his grandson, Vasili, who is also executive director of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. 'Inspiration comes like air.'
Indeed, when Spear's meets Tsereteli in the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, the 85-year-old is drawing in his sketchbook. The retrospective, which runs until 17 February, tales up the entire third floor of the gallery and encompasses paintings, sculptures as well as archival footage documenting his life and work.
Zurab Tsereteli, Larger Than Life, Saatchi Gallery, 23 January – 17 February 2019, zurabtsereteli.com
Born in 1934 in Tiblisi, the capital of Georgia, Tsereteli was educated in bronze, stone, glass, wood, enamel and mosaics. The study of archaeology and ethnology were particularly important in informing his work. 'Since [he was] young, he participated in tours, sketched 12th Century frescos [where it] was very important to study the ethnography,' says Vasili. Anatomy was a particular influence.
'When serious teachers taught him to draw, they got him to draw corpses,' Tsereteli tells Spear's through his translator. 'When somebody dies, the skin settles in a certain way, and you see the anatomy of a person in a way that you don't see when they're alive.
'That was part of his education: very good teachers who go to that sort of extreme to hone the skills of being an artist.'
Formative experiences with Picasso and Chagall also had a lasting influence – and are referenced explicitly in works such as My Favourite Artists, a 2009 sculpture depicting Picasso, Modigliani, Chagall, Matisse and Van Gogh.
'When he met [Picasso] in his studio, he was working, not paying attention to anyone else, looking in the mirror,' says Tsereteli's translator. 'He could see with Picasso that his work was his life.
'[Picasso] was running around, looking in the mirror and he didn't stop working – Zurab didn't feel unwelcome.'
The exhibition, titled Larger Than Life, traces the artist through his evolution through 'monumentalist visions', the changing cultural climate of the USSR and a continuous breaking of artistic convention that would come to define his artistic persona.
Tsereteli is as involved in the Russian art world as he's ever been, and expresses positivity about its current direction, characterised by 'total freedom'.
'We all have to create separate individual characteristics in art,' his translator relays.' It's when he says we all have to move on to creating something specific, something have a personal touch in everything we do – individualism.'
