Importance, Source and Control of Bacteria Wilt Disease in Greenhouse Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) in Southern Ghana.
Bacterial wilt of tomato is a devastating disease in greenhouse in southern Ghana where most greenhouses are sited. This study was conducted to assess farmer's knowledge and experiences on the prevalence, detection, spread and control of the disease in greenhouses in Volta, Eastern, Central and Greater Accra regions of Ghana. The disease incidence and severity was also determined and the causal organism of the disease isolated from diseased tissues and characterized using morphological, biochemical, and molecular techniques. Sources of the bacteria inoculum in greenhouses were identified and some tomato cultivars were screened for resistance to the bacterial wilt disease. Questionnaires were administered to (50) greenhouse farmers purposefully selected using a database of greenhouse producers in southern Ghana provided by West Africa Agricultural Productivity Programme (WAAPP) between August and December 2017. The questionnaire investigated the background of greenhouse farmers and their knowledge and experiences on the prevalence, detection, spread and control of the disease in greenhouses. Frequency data was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis (means and percentages) by means of EPI INFO version 7.2 software. Disease incidence was determined and severity scored using a 0-4 rating scale. Gram strain reaction test, potassium hydroxide solubility test, tobacco hypersensitivity test, bacteria colony morphology and reaction on 2, 3, 5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TZC) were used to identify the causal organism. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction was used to determine phylotypes of the bacterial isolates. Plant samples, growth substrate, seeds and irrigation water collected from surveyed greenhouses were screened for the presence of the causal organism using polymerase chain reaction. Five tomato accessions (WACC1, WACC2, WACC3, WACC4 and WACC5) and a high yielding variety preferred by greenhouse farmers (EVA F1) were screened for resistance against the bacterial wilt disease in a screen house at Nungua Livestock breeding station. Seedlings were transplanted in a naturally infested coco peat and inoculated with 5 ml of a 108 CFU/ml bacterial suspension using the stem puncture technique. Disease severity was observed after inoculation and the area under disease-progressive curve (AUDPC) calculated for each variety. Results from survey indicated that 28% of greenhouse farmers knew the test for detection of the disease with 64% of greenhouse farmers having no knowledge of how the disease spreads. Majority (62%) used roughing and burying of the infected plant to control the disease. Out of the 54 greenhouses (domes) surveyed, only 12 had the infestation from the disease. Disease incidence and severity within greenhouses ranged from (5.9%-18.5%) and (0.5 – 1.2) respectively, with Greater Accra (18.5%) and the Eastern region (8.2%) with highest disease incidence. Central and Volta regions had no infestation of the disease in their greenhouses. Ralstonia solanacearum was identified as the causal organism of the disease and Phylotype I (Asian origin), Phylotype III (African origin) and Phylotype IV (Tropical origin) strains were identified from the study. The source of bacteria inoculum in the greenhouses were irrigation water and the growth media (substrate) used. All varieties tested were susceptible to the bacterial wilt disease, however, WACC 5 showed the least susceptibility to the bacterial wilt disease. Greenhouse farmers had little knowledge on the spread, detection and control of the bacterial wilt disease of tomato. The disease was detected in Greater Accra and Eastern regions disease incidence of 18.5% and 8.2% respectively. The causal organism was confirmed as Ralstonia solanacearum and the other sources of inoculum was irrigation water and the growth medium. Research on the use of resistant rootstocks in grafting and the screening of more varieties for resistance to the disease is recommended.


Captain Sid Chakravarty of the Sea Shepherd ship, Sam Simon, has announced plans to intercept three illegal fishing vessels that fended off the New Zealand Navy yesterday.
The announcement comes after reports that the New Zealand Navy has now abandoned its operation to intercept the poachers in the Southern Ocean, and is returning to port.
The HMNZS Wellington intercepted the three poaching vessels, engaged in illegal fishing activity in the Southern Ocean. Reports from the New Zealand government stated that the vessels were intercepted west of the Ross Sea, however their exact position was not released.
The three vessels, the Songhua, Kunlun and Yongding, are confirmed to be registered in Equatorial Guinea and are known to have links to the infamous Spanish crime syndicate, Vidal Armadores. All three vessels have now been listed with Interpol Purple Notices.
Despite the fact that a request by the New Zealand government to board the vessels was granted by Equatorial Guinea, two of the ship's captains refused to allow New Zealand Navy to board. The poachers then engaged in evasive manoeuvring, and subsequently fled.
Captain of the Bob Barker, Peter Hammarstedt, has criticised the Australian government for leaving the New Zealand government stranded.
Since December 26, the Sam Simon has been involved in mammoth operations to extract illegal gillnets, left by the poaching vessel Thunder, from the Southern Ocean. More than 60 kilometres of illegal gillnet has been retrieved so far, with over 1,000 toothfish and numerous non-target marine species found dead in the nets.
"For the past three weeks, my crew and I have been retrieving illegal gillnets left by the poaching vessel, Thunder, from the Antarctic waters. We have a responsibility to see the retrieval operations through to the end. Once this is complete, we will set our sights on these three new targets," said Captain Chakravarty.
The Bob Barker continues its record-breaking pursuit of the Interpol-listed Thunder, which today runs into its 29th day.

All the World's a Stage: Review of Rafael Chirbes' On the Edge — Joseph Schreiber
Chirbes' literary guides, the ghosts he claimed to regularly engage with, formed a personal pantheon of deceased writers that included Cervantes, Tolstoy, Montaigne, Yourcenar, Lucretius, Virgil, Faulkner, Proust, Balzac, Eça de Queiroz and others. It is perhaps fitting that he relied so heavily on this collection of dead authors for guidance, because as a novelist he saw the past— more specifically, history—as a necessary catalyst for the development of a literature that would allow him to "bear witness" to his time. – Joseph Schreiber
Translated by Margaret Jull Costa
New Directions, January 2016
For the Spanish writer, Rafael Chirbes, there was no room in the creative process for an aesthetic devoid of ethics. As a documentarian of his native country, from the post-war years through the transition to democracy in the 1970's, and on into the opening decade of the 21st century, the late author offered a defiant chronicle of the point where social, economic, and political dynamics intersect with the harsh realities of the human condition. He argued that if the artistic endeavour aims to stand at that intersection, no perspective could remain neutral:
A point of view situates you somewhere, in a location where potentialities—ways of being—battle one another. When you write, or paint, as when you read or look at something, you have to be conscious of the fact that the author wants to invite you to look where he's looking. Your mission is to protect yourself. Know that they want to seduce you.
This advice, from a brief interview segment in A Thousand Forests in One Acorn: An Anthology of Spanish-Language Fiction[1], should serve as fair warning before one enters into the emotional labyrinth that is Chirbes' lauded ninth novel, On the Edge. Recently released by New Directions, in a measured yet lyrical translation by Margaret Jull Costa, this book will serve as highly anticipated introduction for English language readers, to a writer at the height of his powers: a writer who has chosen, in this instance, to stand on the rapidly shifting ground of a country in the throes of economic collapse.
Born in 1949, in a small town in the province of Valencia, into a family with republican roots—that is, on the losing side of the Spanish Civil War—Rafael Chirbes would be influenced and shaped by the post-war environment in which he was raised and educated. When he was four years old, his father committed suicide, but not before teaching his precocious son to read. His mother, who worked as a switchman until she herself was detained by the authorities, was unable to afford to support him; so young Rafael was sent to an orphanage for the children of railway workers. His schooling would soon take him away from the Mediterranean coastal community of his birth; he spent his childhood and adolescence in the landlocked Castile region of Spain during one of the bleakest eras of the dictatorship. At the age of sixteen, he moved to Madrid to study Modern and Contemporary History. There he became involved in underground anti-Franco activities that would see him spend time in prison.
Always a voracious reader, Chirbes supported himself working in bookstores and writing literary criticism prior to heading to Morocco to teach Spanish. Returning to Europe he spent time in Paris, Barcelona, La Coruña, and Extremadura before ultimately making his way back to Valencia. He engaged in a variety of journalistic activities until 1988 when, at the age of 39, he released his first novel, Mimoun. From that point on, he would produce a series of novels that merged elements of realism and introspection with history and storytelling to fashion caustic portrayals of modern Spain.
Chirbes' literary guides, the ghosts he claimed to regularly engage with, formed a personal pantheon of deceased writers that included Cervantes, Tolstoy, Montaigne, Yourcenar, Lucretius, Virgil, Faulkner, Proust, Balzac, Eça de Queiroz and others. It is perhaps fitting that he relied so heavily on this collection of dead authors for guidance, because as a novelist he saw the past— more specifically, history—as a necessary catalyst for the development of a literature that would allow him to "bear witness" to his time. And through Esteban, the anguished protagonist at the heart of On the Edge, the last of his novels to be published before his death from cancer in August of 2015, he has created a powerful testimony to the devastating personal impact of the economic crisis on his fellow countrymen. And, without preaching, he deftly sheds light on the broader currents flowing through a society plagued by concerns about poverty, violence, xenophobia, Islamophobia, human trafficking, prostitution, moral corruption, and environmental degradation.
Originally published as En la orilla in 2013, On the Edge opens with a gruesome discovery on the morning of December 26, 2010. Ahmed, a Moroccan migrant worker, presently unemployed, spends his days fishing in the marshlands outside the fictional communities of Olba and Misent where, as in other regions of the country and the continent, the economic collapse of 2008 has left its mark. Unemployment is high and climbing higher, while the detritus of the burst housing bubble can be seen along the roads lined with building projects left abandoned in various stages of conception and construction. Two dogs fighting over a piece of carrion attracts Ahmed's attention, disturbing his quiet interlude; but when he realizes, to his horror, that the contested meat is, in fact, a human hand, he panics, making a hasty retreat lest he be wrongly connected with the scene of a possible crime. The lagoon, he knows, hides a decaying legacy of discarded goods, the spoils and evidence of all manner of legal and illegal activities.
Moving back almost two weeks in time, the majority of Chirbes' novel will unfold over the course of a single winter day. Seventy year-old Esteban is a man at the end of his rope. Swept up in the euphoria of greed when it seemed there was no end to the burgeoning property explosion, he mortgaged all his father's land and possessions, including the carpentry workshop and the family home above it, to enter into a partnership with Pedrós, a local developer with grand schemes—a man who has now suddenly disappeared leaving his creditors in the lurch and Esteban completely bankrupt. Forced to lay off his employees and say good-bye to Liliana, his cherished Colombian housekeeper, he is left with the thankless task of attending to his aged father's personal care while awaiting imminent foreclosure and the loss of absolutely everything.
On the crisp, clear day in question, Esteban leaves his father secured to a chair in front of the TV, and heads out to the marshlands with his dog. As he makes his way through the reeds, along wet, obscured trails, ripe with the pervasive smell of rot and decomposition, he engages in a long and convoluted series of melancholic soliloquies. He recalls his Uncle Ramón, his father's younger brother, who taught him to hunt and fish, made him toys and was more of a true father figure than the cold, gruff man, now aged and decrepit, presently tied to into an armchair at home. The blunt lessons about life and death that Ramón passed on to his young nephew on their hunting and fishing expeditions to the marshes will haunt Esteban's own reasoning to the very end:
[T]he fisherman who fails to choose the right bait does so because he doesn't know how fish think, and a fisherman or a hunter has to become the thing he's hunting, the real fisherman falls in love with his victim: he's hunting himself. Hold the hook like this, no, we're not going to use the dough we normally use for bait, today we'll use this stuff. Smell it. Disgusting, isn't it? What a stink! Well, fish love that smell. And so do crabs. Everything rots. We'll end up rotting as well and we'll smell quite a lot worse. Many years from now, you'll rot too—and it's that rotten smell that the fish like. When you get older, you'll realize that they're like humans in that respect. Don't go thinking you're not going to end up smelling like a dead fish, Esteban.
Some sixty years on from these marshland lessons, Esteban is, as he combs the area—the lagoon, the canals, and the muddy pathways—closer to being both hunter and his own prey than he has ever been.
Another ghost that inhabits his retrospective musings is Leonor, his first love; the woman for whom he had returned to the town of his birth after a brief attempt to flee. She would soon abandon him, in effect condemning him to a lonely life of sawdust and wood glue, beside his father in the family carpentry workshop while she headed off to Europe to marry his best friend, Francisco—a man who did manage to escape and would, for decades, lead a life of glamour and prestige, before returning, after Leonor's death, to assume an existence of cultured semi-seclusion in the finest house in town.
Lack of ambition, environmental factors—I used to think: I am the owner of my own deficiencies. The only thing I own is what I lack, what I cannot reach, what I've lost, that's what I have, what is actually mine, the empty vacuum that is me. I have what I don't have. And I felt infinitely sorry for myself, filled with a bitterness that sometimes verged on hatred of her, a false hatred (no, I don't think I ever hated her, I still felt aroused whenever I saw her, I desired her, yes, I desired her right up until the end, she was the only woman for me), and a false hatred of Francisco which extended to my father (and did I really hate him, do I still hate him?), or vice versa: love in absentia. They were two sides of the same coin—on one side, what seemed to me unattainable and, on the other, what was denied to me: Francisco showing me what could have been, and my father showing me the depths of the nothingness that had become my sole property.
Chirbes allows his protagonist ample space for extended, rambling rants and remembrances—long sentences unwind in single paragraphs that stretch on for pages—peppered with asides, often directed at his father, who is silent, or to Liliana, from whom he imagines and integrates affectionate responses. Rhythms of resentment, nostalgia, and regret play out against each other, driving Esteban's restless inner monologues forward as he catalogues and re-catalogues his history of failures and betrayals. Repetitiveness often arises, one part perseveration, one part forgetfulness; balanced by a healthy measure of witty observation and philosophical musings. In spite of himself, Esteban is a captivating narrator.
He is however, no less a complicated, conflicted and paranoid human being. Over the course of more than 400 pages we spend so much time inside his ruminations that it can be tempting, as Chirbes himself might warn us, to only see what our protagonist is choosing to see. And this is where On the Edge is so much more than the claustrophobic internalized ravings of one isolated man. No social situation is ever that simple. And the stage on which Esteban stands, in fact where he is planning to orchestrate and perform his own denouement, is inextricably bound to, and echoes, the whirlpool of rapidly declining economic circumstances around him.
So, other voices are invited to contribute. First there is a recurring Greek chorus of sorts, mediated by Esteban, mind you, who take turns speculating on the present state of social and economic affairs (Where could Pedrós have disappeared to?) over nightly card games at the local bar. These are, for the most part, Esteban's peers—old friends—each carrying their own baggage, secrets and culpabilities. Yet, are their pasts really as shady as our guilt ridden and suspicious narrator imagines?
Then there are the recurring passages where otherwise silent supporting characters are granted an opportunity to step up and own the stage for a moment. Background stories briefly surface. We hear from disgruntled former employees of the carpentry shop, or their beleaguered spouses; their lonely, frustrated, and weary accounts cut through Esteban's monologue. His father even speaks from the past through reflections recorded on the pages of an old calendar, and, eventually, his precious Liliana is allowed to offer her own brutal perspective. But perhaps even more revealing is the fact that some of the most important players—Ramón, Francisco and Leonor—essentially remain silent, known primarily through our protagonist's memories and perceptions.
Esteban's small corner of Spain, the one in which he finds himself in late middle age, belongs to the ordinary man, the small town resident—running a business on the bright or shady side of the law, or perhaps both. One imagines that it would have been almost impossible not to get caught up in the excitement of economic promise; an excitement that might have sounded more loudly for a the citizens of a nation that had come, relatively speaking, late to democracy. Here our narrator stands divided between his resentment of his father's stubborn adherence to the socialist values that restricted his expansion of the carpentry business; and his bitter envy of Francisco, the son of a family with a dark fascist past, who fled Olba to ride the coattails of a world enamoured with the pleasures of fine wine and dining (with a line of coke and a beautiful escort on the side, of course). But as he nurses his regrets and calculates the sum of the injustices life has dealt him, Esteban's strongest emotion is one of resignation to his fate, the one last thing over which he can exercise any control.
In her Afterward, Valerie Miles describes On the Edge as a "poetic spasm, an epic of the garbage dump written by a witness who breaks the underclass' legacy of silence during a crisis that is not merely economic, but social and acutely moral." The setting reinforces this reality most vividly: the fetid, polluted marshes, with the blue glint of the sea shining in the distance. Here the solidity of the ground can be dangerously deceptive and even the beautiful blooms betray their origins in their scent. Chirbes' Mediterranean is no romantic playground—it is harsh, unforgiving, and unforgettable—like the monumental novel that he anchors in this desolate wasteland.

Two new books edited by Alberta educators emphasize real-life scenarios in mental health frontlines
by Mollie Smith November 25, 2018 September 4, 2020
Typically, when it comes to most children and youth textbooks on mental health, they too heavily revolve around diagnostic criteria, say a group of Alberta educators.
That gap drove Patricia Kostouros, Michelle Briegel and Brenda Thompson to take a different approach with two books launched on Nov. 22 at Mount Royal University.
Kostouros and Briegel teach in the department of child studies and social work at Mount Royal University, while Brenda Thompson teaches at MacEwan University.
"We could not find something that really allowed for more context and there just didn't seem to be anything that was helpful for frontline practitioners, like really talking about the context that they might be working in and how that is different," says Kostouros, who along with Thompson, edited the textbook, Child and Youth Mental Health in Canada: Cases from Front-Line Settings.
"We brought into the forefront some more environmental factors in play as opposed to just focusing on diagnosis," says Kostouros.
Co-editor Thompson says another reason why the textbook is different than others is that it gets away from labeling by using rich narratives written by people in the field.
Mental health is a complex topic, especially in children and youth. Alberta educators Brenda Thompson, Patricia Kostouros, and Michelle Briegel get readers to understand each mental health issue by using specifics-based scenarios, in their newly launched books. Graphic courtesy of Mount Royal University Faculty of Health, Community and Education.
"We have taken the different settings that our students would find themselves working in, like elementary school, high school, working with families in their homes, and working in secure treatment facilities," she says, adding, "At each setting, looking at what kind of things that you are going to be faced with, within terms of the behaviours and struggles from the kids and what kinds of things you can do to help."
The other book, Child & Youth Care Practice: Collected Wisdom for New Practitioners, is a collection packed full of advice from students, practitioners and agency supervisors. Edited by Kostouros and Briegel, the collection invites students and those new to the field of child and youth care to feel more confident and prepared when starting their practicums and careers.
Briegel adds that the practitioner-focused book is about breaking information into "bite-sized pieces," with "examples coming from people who have worked in the field that allows students to see themselves in the writing."
The three authors noted an absence of these types of resources when they studied in university and say such material would have made a big difference for them.

[Republic]: You receive this codex upon completing "The Ark" questline, planet Makeb.
We would like to thank Yunikorn for additional information.
Hidden within the Giant's Spear mesa is the answer to surviving the devastation of Makeb: a gigantic starship with vast holds that could contain millions of people, known as the Ark. The Ark project has suffered from delays and mismanagement thanks to its corrupt foreman, Veedrig, and is still not quite spaceworthy. Although the Ark seems enormous while it is empty, transporting millions of frightened refugees to safety will be a logistical nightmare. Bringing basic food, water and medical supplies will necessitate packing people like cargo. Nevertheless, with no options left, transports and caravans are already being sent to evacuate Makeb's residential districts and bring people to the Ark.
This lore object is found on Makeb, NOT Nar Shaddaa.
Please remove this from the Nar Shaddaa section and place it in the Makeb lore section.

Mysterious Objects at the Edge of the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Posted on March 20, 2012 by Pat Donworth, D.Min.
Space Daily, March 20, 2012
The human eye is crucial to astronomy. Without the ability to see, the luminous universe of stars, planets and galaxies would be closed to us, unknown forever. Nevertheless, astronomers cannot shake their fascination with the invisible.
Outside the realm of human vision is an entire electromagnetic spectrum of wonders. Each type of light from radio waves to gamma-rays reveals something unique about the universe. Some wavelengths are best for studying black holes; others reveal newborn stars and planets; while others illuminate the earliest years of cosmic history.
NASA has many telescopes "working the wavelengths" up and down the electromagnetic spectrum. One of them, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope orbiting Earth, has just crossed a new electromagnetic frontier.
"Fermi is picking up crazy-energetic photons," says Dave Thompson, an astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "And it's detecting so many of them we've been able to produce the first all-sky map of the very high energy universe."
"This is what the sky looks like near the very edge of the electromagnetic spectrum, between 10 billion and 100 billion electron volts."
The light we see with human eyes consists of photons with energies in the range 2 to 3 electron volts. The gamma-rays Fermi detects are billions of times more energetic, from 20 million to more than 300 billion electron volts. These gamma-ray photons are so energetic, they cannot be guided by the mirrors and lenses found in ordinary telescopes. Instead Fermi uses a sensor that is more like a Geiger counter than a telescope.
If we could wear Fermi's gamma ray "glasses," we'd witness powerful bullets of energy – individual gamma rays – from cosmic phenomena such as supermassive black holes and hypernova explosions. The sky would be a frenzy of activity.
Illustration at left: From end to end, the newly discovered gamma-ray bubbles extend 50,000 light-years, or roughly half of the Milky Way's diameter, as shown in this illustration. Hints of the bubbles' edges were first observed in X-rays (blue) by ROSAT, a Germany-led mission operating in the 1990s. The gamma rays mapped by Fermi (magenta) extend much farther from the galaxy's plane. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. For a larger version of this image please go here.
Before Fermi was launched in June 2008, there were only four known celestial sources of photons in this energy range. "In 3 years Fermi has found almost 500 more," says Thompson.
What lies within this new realm?
"Mystery, for one thing," says Thompson. "About a third of the new sources can't be clearly linked to any of the known types of objects that produce gamma rays. We have no idea what they are."
The rest have one thing in common: prodigious energy.
"Among them are super massive black holes called blazars; the seething remnants of supernova explosions; and rapidly rotating neutron stars called pulsars."
And some of the gamma rays seem to come from the 'Fermi bubbles' – giant structures emanating from the Milky Way's center and spanning some 20,000 light years above and below the galactic plane.
Exactly how these bubbles formed is another mystery.
Now that the first sky map is complete, Fermi is working on another, more sensitive and detailed survey.
"In the next few years, Fermi should reveal something new about all of these phenomena, what makes them tick, and why they generate such 'unearthly' levels of energy," says David Paneque, a leader in this work from the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
For now, though, there are more unknowns than knowns about "Fermi's world."
Says Thompson: "It's pretty exciting!"

Another couple who found love on "The Bachelor" has called it quits.
Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell announced Monday that they've decided to end their year-long engagement.
Higgins, 29, proposed to 27-year-old Bushnell, during the March 2016 season finale of "The Bachelor."
Their engagement was controversial from the start because Higgins professed his love for both Bushnell and runner-up JoJo Fletcher.
Bushnell told ET Online that it was difficult for her to have to essentially relive "The Bachelor."
"I'm only so strong ... watching the man you love tell another woman he loves her is extremely difficult," she said.
In October, the couple revealed to People that they were going through counseling.
The former couple repeatedly said they didn't want to rush into tying the knot.

Q: Weird / arbitrarily behavior of Collabora Online So I've been experiencing some very strange behavior alongside Collabora Online. Since migrating to a new Collabora Online Server (version 21.11.3), nothing works reliably anymore. All the abnormalities described in the following follow no pattern, are totally unpredictable and therefore cannot be reproduced.
The save button sometimes work and sometimes it does not. Meaning the changes sometimes get saved on the file server as it should be and sometimes no http request to the wopi host is made. I tried to manually save with the help of the PostMessageAPI. When adding an event listener to the iframe window the Collabora Online editor is embedded in, I notice that it rarely gets trigered upon user actions such as "saving the document." Feels very buggy to me.
Often the document is loaded and rendered instantly without any problems. When trying to load the same document some time later, it sometimes happens that the content of the iframe schows me some weird error messages. I attached them to this thread. The first error message says that it is cleaning up the document from the last session. Whatever that means, it can last for hours. The second error message says it cannot establish a connection to the document (although it worked minutes before).
Could this be a configuration error on a server Collabora Online is running/depending on?

Relationships: now Blake Shelton is in love with Gwen Stefani (since 2015). Perhaps it was the love at first sight, or maybe the second one. It's hard to tell, given that the couple met at work. Both Blake and Gwen judged The Voice. It turns out, their judgeship grew into "an office romance". Well, if only The Voice could be called "an office". Anyway, they seem to be madly in love which is all that really matters.
However, before Gwen Stefani there were:

In 1944, Emeco was founded by Wilton Carlyle Dinges in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Emeco stands for Electric Machine and Equipment Co., and under this brand Dinges focussed on the skills of local craftsmen. During the Second World War, the US government gave Emeco the order to design chairs that were lightweight but stable, water and salt air resistant and therefore suitable for military purposes.
Wilton C. Dinge's choice for the material that met all of these properties was made quickly: The chairs were to be made of aluminium. And the name was soon found: Emeco gave the chair the number 1006, but it was also known after its original purpose, the Navy Chair.
Bring 10px">Thanks to the material used in the Navy Chair by Emeco, it weighed only 3.2 kilograms. Meanwhile, there are also numerous variants of the Navy Chair. Since 2009 the Coca Cola 111 Navy Chair chair also in plastic, has been made from 111 Coca Cola bottles and different colours. Recycling at its best.
That only the best is good enough also reflects the Emeco company's philosophy further: Quality is never an accident. It is not surprising that at Emeco all products are made by hand. Machines only support the work process, polishing a chair, for example, is done entirely by hand. Emeco also uses up to 80 percent recycled aluminium for the production of the Navy Chair. Thus, each of Emeco's chairs is unique!
In addition to the classic Navy Chair, which is also available as a chair with armrest, Emeco produces other chairs and models: The Navy swivel chair is the modified version of the Navy Chair for the office, helpfully with wheels and also made of lightweight aluminium. The comfortable Hudson Rocking Armchair, a rocking chair, in a futuristic look, was designed for Emeco by Philippe Starck in 2000.
With the Emeco chairs you can add an extra dose of industrial chic, and not only to your home. The shiny material found on Emeco seats is available in a highly polished version upon request, which at the same time makes for a glamorous, stylish look. The chairs are also perfect for fitting out public areas such as cafeterias, cafes or restaurants. The Emeco Barstools and the Navy bar stool with backrest complement the range perfectly.

So you want to write a cookbook?

Culinary Agency Seeks to Sign New Talent via Twitter
Hatfield, MA – So you want to write a cookbook? Do you have a food blog and dream of being published? Have you ever been standing over a big pot of stew at the stove and had the perfect idea for a cookbook pop into your head? Now is your chance.
The Lisa Ekus Group, LLC a culinary agency that recently celebrated 31 years in business, is seeking new talent through a Twitter contest. Inspired by the March Madness basketball tournament, the contest will ask anyone who wants to write a cookbook to pitch their best culinary non-fiction ideas to @SallyEkus via 140-character (or less) tweets to #SignMeSal from March 11 -13, 2013. On March 14th, 2013, the finalists will be chosen to participate in the playoffs and entries will be whittled down in subsequent days. Like the March Madness basketball tournament, 16 finalists will enter the playoffs. Remaining participants will then be asked to round out their proposals with further tweets that cover standard proposal elements, such as the book's point of differentiation, the author's promotional ideas, and the author's credentials. The last two finalists will join Literary Agent Sally Ekus in a Twitter chat on March 25, 2013 to discuss their ideas as well as ask questions about agency representation and cookbook publishing in general. Contestants, who were previously eliminated, as well as the greater Twitter community, will be encouraged to join the Twitter chat to ask questions of the final two contenders. A single winner will be chosen and then work with agent Sally Ekus to develop a fleshed out proposal to pitch to editors at publishing houses.
The contest calendar is as follows:
March 11th-13th, 2013: Tweet your cookbook concept to #SignMeSal
March 14th, 2013: @SallyEkus will tweet the 16 cookbook concept playoff contenders
March 15th, 2013: The winning 16 will tweet once what their Point of Differentiation (How is this concept different from what already exists in the market?) is to #SignMeSal
March 18th, 2013: 8 winners will be announced by @SallyEkus and will proceed to the next round
March 19th, 2013: The 8 winners of the last round will tweet 3 promotional ideas for how they intend to promote their book once it is published.
March 20th, 2013: 4 winners from the promotional idea round will be announced by @SallyEkus
March 21st, 2013: The 4 winners of the promotional idea round will tweet their answer to the final question, "Why me? Why am I the person to write this book?" in up to three tweets to #SignMeSal
March 22nd, 2013: Two finalists will be announced by @SallyEkus
March 25th, 2013: @SallyEkus will host a Twitter chat from 1-2pm EST to ask the finalists questions about their concepts and backgrounds. This will also be a chance for the two finalists to ask questions about agent representation and The Lisa Ekus Group, as well as a time for people following the contest to weigh in with their own questions. The finalists should come to the chat prepared to answer questions such as "What does platform mean to me?" and "I want to write this book because…"
March 27th, 2013: One winner will be announced by @SallyEkus
Interested parties should pitch any idea related to food, health, wellness, and cooking. You may be previously published, but you may not be currently represented by another literary agency. The Lisa Ekus Group is looking for fresh voices, new ideas, and untapped talent. "I am looking for someone who can get their ideas across succinctly, in 140 characters or less," said Sally Ekus. "The Tweet is the new elevator pitch."
The Lisa Ekus Group is a full-service culinary agency. We provide media training, strategic public relations planning, consulting, and literary agency services to the world of culinary talent. It is our belief that a vibrant culinary industry is the result of many voices, and so we strive to support and promote chefs, cookbook authors, food writers, and photographers.

The Patriots And Falcons Became Who We Thought They Were
By Kyle Wagner
Filed under NFL
The Patriots' Jonathan Jones celebrates after New England defeated the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in Super Bowl LI.
Patrick Smith/Getty Images
HOUSTON — Great Super Bowls tend to be remembered in miniature: A missed kick. A ball pressed to a helmet. An outstretched arm at the goal line. For this Super Bowl, though, the picture will be bigger and two-sided: the New England Patriots' furious comeback from down by 25 points to take a title they had no business taking, and the Atlanta Falcons' attendant collapse. This game's individual moments, memorable as they were, will likely be pale in importance next to the way the reputations of both teams were affirmed in the strongest possible terms, by the thinnest possible margin.
On the Patriots' side, Belichick and his apostles are up for beatification. Tom Brady led five consecutive scoring drives to stage the largest comeback in Super Bowl history, setting records for pass attempts, completions and yardage in the championship game. Julian Edelman made the cleat catch. And the Patriots defense clamped down to hold the Falcons scoreless in their final four drives. The turnaround was so dramatic that it practically unwound the ESPN win-probability model in real time. These are seemingly acts of a higher power.
Except Brady, of course, hadn't been perfect all game. Before the Patriots offense clicked into action late in the third, Brady missed Julian Edelman badly on a few throws and was making uncharacteristic errors. Partly this was due to the Falcons pass rush getting to him using just four rushers. In the second half, New England's massive time-of-possession advantage began to show as the Falcons' pass rush faded. ("I think for sure we ran out of gas some," said Falcons coach Dan Quinn. "I don't know what the time of possession was, I didn't look at that. But I can tell you how hard these guys battled for it.") But partly Brady's poor start to the game was simply some bad throws and costly drops at the worst possible time in the season for either.
But rather than overreact to a few bad plays, New England stayed the course. "You can decide to say that the game is out of reach," Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said after the game, "and start scrambling and going into a two-minute mode earlier than you really want to. At halftime, we definitely weren't going to do that."
This is the least shocking thing the Patriots could have done. The comeback was prodigious, of course, but everyone in the stadium was watching something they had seen the Patriots do many times before. Brady wasn't reeling off dazzling, how'd-he-do-that highlights; he was marching the Falcons to their unavoidable doom. Even the team's ho-hum reactions to Edelman's time-and-space-defying catch demonstrate the sense of certainty surrounding the Pats:
Edelman: "It was 3rd-and-5. We made a decent play. Thankfully, we finished. I was just trying to track it. It was a bang-bang play."
Brady: "Yeah, I couldn't believe it. It was one of the greatest catches. We've been on the other end of a few of those catches and tonight, you know, we came up with it. It was a pretty spectacular catch."
McDaniels: "It was just great concentration. I think to win a game like this, you're probably going to need a few plays like that, and that was one of them."
Running back James White: "I was actually right in front of him when he caught it. I was pretty sure that he caught it. It was a big play in the game."
Tight end Martellus Bennett: "I was like, 'OH SHIT HE CAUGHT THAT!'"
OK, so not all of them are replicants. But if Brady didn't quite come away from Sunday with one defining "Isn't that John Candy?" moment of cool, he got the one thing that solidifies legacies more than iconic moments: luck. The ball finally bounced (or, in Edelman's case, didn't) the Patriots' way, and the same stroke of the divine that stole away a perfect season in 2008 put New England in position to steal a championship back. For a player and a franchise as accomplished as Brady and the Pats, the inescapable conclusion is that the luck you have is the luck you make.
But for a team and quarterback that don't have that luxury, one bad half threatens to peel off whatever veneer of credibility they had constructed on top of the city's old Loserville neuroses this season. And if the team's only luck is bad luck, Ryan and the Falcons manufactured it themselves.
As you'd probably guess, the biggest postgame scrum for the Falcons coaches wasn't around Quinn, but around offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. The defense was gassed, sure, but how could the high-powered Falcons offense (No. 2 in Football Outsiders' offensive ranks) have scored its final points with 8:31 left in the third quarter?
After the game, the thing most everyone wanted to know — and made sure to ask every Falcon in the building — was just what happened after Julio Jones made a ridiculous catch of his own with 4:47 left in the fourth quarter, putting the Falcons on the edge of field-goal range and in position to go up two scores. Were you too aggressive late? Do you wish you had any of those play calls back? They were polite versions of the obvious question: Just what the hell was Shanahan thinking? Score there and the Falcons are up two scores with just about four minutes remaining. In a game that was over several times before it was truly over, that would have buried the Pats a few feet deeper.
"Our goal was to get as many yards as we could," Shanahan said. "You don't think, 'Just run the ball and make your guy kick a 50-yard field goal,' you try your hardest to give him a great chance to for sure make it, but we ended up getting a sack, and [running the ball isn't] really an option after that."

Should Terrell Owens Be In The Hall of Fame?
In today's NFL, a 52-yard field goal is a little under a 70 percent proposition. Scooch up 10 yards, and you're looking at something closer to 80 percent. Add another five yards onto that and you're up above 90 percent, turning a not-so-sure thing into one as sure as it's going to get. The only choice is to try to advance the ball.
On first down, Devonta Freeman lost a yard. The Falcons could have taken two more plays to run into the line and taken their chances on the 50-plus-yarder. But when you have the league MVP under center and are gaining 8.8 net yards per pass attempt on the season, and when those 8.8 yards would represent a material improvement to your odds of winning, you stick to what you know. And so the Falcons did what they did all season — they gave Matt Ryan the ball. And then he got sacked. And then Jake Matthews committed his second costly holding penalty. Suddenly, the Falcons had 3rd-and-33, and as the coaches like to say, there's no play in the playbook for that.
The difference between the Falcons and the Patriots is the difference between the Patriots and the Falcons. The Falcons' inexplicable little foibles, like the repeatedly snapping the ball without milking all the time they could off the clock, doomed them. The Pats' miscues, like the decision to kick a field goal while down 19 in the fourth quarter should have doomed New England, but the Patriots were saved by a series of miraculous events. Edelman caught the ball; Ryan coughed it up. The Patriots stay the Patriots, and the Falcons surely will stay the Falcons.

Q: Bluebird .then(): not working as it should I just started working with promises and Bluebird. While debugging I can see that my function is executed twice:
First I get this error: TypeError: Uncaught error: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined
Then I see the function is executed again, and .then() is executed successfully. Also I get the correct information printed in the console.
Why is this happening? The whole reason I'm implementing promises is because I want to wait with executing the then()-action, because my data has to be retrieved first. But still the code jumps to the .then() action too early.
Why is this happening and how can I prevent it?
Here's my code:
exports.findUser = function(userId){

    var ObjectID = require('mongodb').ObjectID;
    var u_id = new ObjectID(userId);

    db.collection('users')
        .findOne({'_id': u_id})
        .then(function(docs) { //executed twice, first time error, second time success
            console.log(docs); //prints correct info once executed
            return docs;
        })
        .catch(function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        });
};

A: When working with the native npm module you should use callbacks here, like in the documentation. So for your example this would mean:
exports.findUser = function(userId){

    var ObjectID = require('mongodb').ObjectID;
    var u_id = new ObjectID(userId);

    db.collection('users')
        .findOne({'_id': u_id}, function(err, docs){

Bertold z Reichenau (ur. ok. 1030; zm. 11 marca 1088) – mnich benedyktyński, kronikarz, uczeń Hermana z Reichenau.

Znaczenie
Bertold przejął prowadzenie kroniki świata po śmierci swojego nauczyciela Hermana z Reichenau (1054). Pierwszy zapis Bertolda pojawił się późno (1066) i był w dużej mierze oparty na tekście kroniki Bernolda, również zakonnika z Reichenau. Przyjmuje się, że Bertold kontynuował prace kronikarskie do 1080, na którym kronika nagle się kończy, przerwana w połowie zdania. Oryginalny tekst Bertolda nie zachował się. Wszystkie kopie w obiegu powstały na podstawie kompilacji tekstów z manuskryptów przechowywanych w klasztorach benedyktyńskich.

USA so against s-400?
August 3, 2017 IMMPolitics
Turkey buys defense system s-400 from Russia.
From the U.S. come protest statements one after the other. They say that s-400 will not be integrated into the NATO system. But is this really so? The United States opposes s-400 due to compatibility issues, or the US has any other calculation?
Experts emphasize that to integrate s-400 in the NATO system is not a problem. As an example, pay attention to Greece. Athens have long used C-300, an earlier version of s-400. So that argument of incompatibility unrealistic.
As it becomes clear, Turkey is not the only member of NATO using Russian missiles. Greece has received missiles from Russia, and from southern Cyprus, but the missiles are Russian-made. In other words, no one can tell Turkey: "you are a NATO member, will use a Russian rocket, the biggest enemy of the Alliance?"
Not the first time Turkey is negotiating about missile systems with countries outside NATO. In 2013, negotiations for defence systems was conducted with China. USA at that time used the same rhetoric, argued that Chinese missiles are incompatible with NATO, and did everything possible to discourage this transaction.
Shortly after talks between Ankara and Beijing, which is opposed by the U.S., broke out the events in Gezi.
In the future, until 2014, the representatives of the American military-industrial consortium of Raytheon-Lockheed four went to Ankara. After receiving a better offer, Turkey has suspended talks with China.
Here the main issue is the freedom in deciding what and where to buy. If the Chinese offer a lower price, I buy from them. But if you insist: "Only the American missiles," then you have to reduce the price. How in 2013.
Today we are dealing with a similar situation. S-400 is less expensive and of higher quality. And the US objected, saying, "Not integrated". However, nobody listens to them. The client and I buy this product what I need.
If you truly care about US the global arms market. USA is number one in this market. They are followed by Russian.
The U.S. has opposed Turkey to buy s-400 from Russia, not to yield to the leader on the market.
The agreement between Ankara and Moscow in the process of completion. And next in line — perhaps some Western countries. In Western countries two choices: American or Russian goods. Russian products are ahead of their American counterparts. The United States and worried that after Turkey, the European countries also start buying weapons from the Russians.
In this case, the United States will lose its lion's share in the market, many a balances will change, and Russian with a noticeable gap come forward.

"Slavery and Freedom": Historians Debate Continued Relevance of an Old Paradigm
Gregory P. Downs
As historian Eric Foner introduced the second Friday session on "Slavery and Freedom" at the Future of the African American Past conference, he described a photograph of himself, age 2, on Paul Robeson's shoulders. It must have seemed, Foner reminisced, a "long way up."
In more significant ways, that "long way up" captures the dynamics of the complex freedom narrative that has shaped much of the writing and teaching of African American history. The story of the transition from "slavery to freedom," in John Hope Franklin's famous title, allows scholars at once to portray the horrors of slavery, the transformative impact of freedom, and the long, slow, unfinished climb toward—but not yet to—equality.
At the panel, historians took up Foner's question of whether that freedom narrative has reached the end of its usefulness and whether it is time for something new. "Is emancipation the pivot of how we ought to understand the African American experience in America from the early colonial period to the present, or do we need a narrative that really displaces emancipation?" Foner asked.
Because this framework remains open to both triumphs and tragedies, and because it captures the historic break of legal emancipation as well as the unfinished work of a broader emancipation, it has endured in the hands of scholars of different political and historiographical orientations, not so much as a subject of debate but as the field upon which scholars conduct other debates. The freedom narrative is perhaps the single most powerful paradigm in US history, one that has helped shape Foner's own monumental Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution (1988), and that provides a dramatic arc to courses and books on US history, generally, and African American history, in particular.
And yet, US historians have increasingly wondered about the costs of that paradigm, and whether it produces too many histories that end up too much alike. Scholars question, sometimes painfully, whether its narrative arc tends to underplay continuities between slavery and emancipation, and to define slavery as the anomaly in American life rather than as one aspect of a defining reliance upon violent oppression.
A recent wave of books like Stephen Kantrowitz's More than Freedom (2012), Stacey Smith's Freedom's Frontier (2013), Jim Downs's Sick from Freedom (2012), Kidada Williams's They Left Great Marks on Me (2012), Kate Masur's An Example for All the Land (2010), and Susan Eva O'Donovan's Becoming Free in the Cotton South (2007), along with the 2011 conference "Beyond Freedom" at Yale University's Gilder Lehrman Center, have all raised the question of whether freedom should be the central concept around which African American history—or at least 19th century history—should be organized. Carole Emberton's recent Journal of Southern History review essay "Unwriting the Freedom Narrative" argued that historians of the post-Civil War era have already moved beyond the freedom paradigm, even if what will replace it remains unclear.
At once the freedom narrative can seem too creaky to use and too useful to let go of. That double sense of discontent and uncertainty was evident in the panel. Harvard's Walter Johnson suggested the need for rethinking the break between antebellum and postbellum history. By making slavery inhumane, historians separate contemporary oppression from the past, signaling that we live in a purer, more moral moment. "These are the things that human beings do to one another," Johnson argued. Creating the false division between past and present is "misleading, harmful, and worth resisting."
Yet even as he staked out this position, Johnson also could not discard the freedom narrative in its totality. When Foner asked each of the panelists point blank about new paradigms, Johnson invoked Karl Marx's "On the Jewish Question," calling statements on Jewish emancipation as both the greatest achievement of the standing order and also not genuine emancipation.
Duke's Thavolia Glymph powerfully defended the idea of emancipation as a historic rupture. Arguing against those historians who see continuity between slavery and emancipation, Glymph said that "Making freedom was undeniably difficult and deadly work but we risk doing a fundamental disservice to the difference freedom made when we make a hard turn in a direction that suggests it accomplished too little to much matter." While acknowledging the incredible challenges many freedpeople faced, Glymph emphasized the enduring, stoic, and sometimes heroic struggle to complete the "unfinished business" of "what freedom meant." "I think we need to take a step back" from histories that place death or collapse at the center of the story of emancipation, Glymph argued.
Although UCLA's Brenda Stevenson was not present, her paper—read by Foner—seemed to confirm Glymph's notion of the difference freedom made, as she carefully described the new meaning that post-emancipation wedding rituals took on for freedpeople. The force of these rituals marked a "line between slavery and freedom," and permitted freedpeople to "show off their physical beauty and proclaim their moral purity."
Harvard's Annette Gordon-Reed also emphasized the historic rupture of the end of slavery. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were a "pivot" in US history and created citizenship rights that, while not always recognized, marked a new era of access and possibility.
Gordon-Reed's talk, however, suggested the challenges historians face in speaking to broader public audiences. For while historians agonize about the limitations or exhaustion of a freedom paradigm, nonacademics face stories of slavery and emancipation that seem still to emerge from the aggressively racist Lost Cause myths of the late 19th and early 20th century. Discussing distinct and complex fights over the memorialization of slavery and slaveholders at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, as well as public sites, Gordon-Reed described the challenges of creating "respectful" spaces while also not obliterating the past entirely.
Gordon-Reed's nuanced discussion pointed to the strange duality that 19th century historians often face. Inside the profession, many of us are impatient with freedom narratives that can (though need not) become repetitive. But in our engagements with nonhistorians, we often wish that the freedom narrative were more widely known and celebrated, for it may remain the most useful way to counteract the Lost Cause vision of slavery and slaveholders. Fittingly the panel did not reach a conclusion. It will be fascinating in the months ahead to watch the National Museum of African American History and Culture address these issues, and in the years ahead to watch historians continue to wrestle with a freedom narrative that they can neither feel comfortable inside nor abandon.
Gregory Downs is associate professor of history at University of California, Davis.
SESSION 2: Slavery and Freedom


On Wednesday, 25 May 2016 the African Foundation for International Law (AFIL) and the African Association of International Law (AAIL) organised a High-level Panel Discussion on the theme Africa and the International Court of Justice (ICJ): 'Seven Decades Relationship, Contributions and Challenges'. Two prominent international law scholars, namely Professor Georges Abi-Saab and Professor John Dugard (and ad hoc Judge at the International Court of Justice) reviewed the important relationship between the ICJ and Africa in terms of contributions and challenges. This event was hosted by The Hague Institute for Global Justice (THIGJ).
Mr. Stephen J. Rapp, former US Ambassador at large for war crimes issues, gave the welcoming remarks on behalf of THIGJ. This was followed by introductory remarks from His Excellency Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji, Judge at the International Criminal Court, who also moderated the High-Level Panel. High-Level Panel considered, in particular, the increasing use by the African States of the International Court of Justice for dispute settlement, especially over the last decade. The Panelists addressed the following broad questions: What factors have accounted for a regain of trust by African States in the International Court of Justice considering that African States were the principal users of the International Court of Justice in the last decade? How the African States regained this trust after many years of discomfort? What were the prospects of this relation being maintained in terms of future complementarity and competition between the International Court of Justice and other African regional courts and tribunals? For example, 22 African States have accepted the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, however 34 African States have accepted the jurisdiction of the ICC.
The High-Level Panel also addressed the significance and contribution of the International Court of Justice's jurisprudence on cases emanating from Africa to the general interpretation of international law, in particular, the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion in landmark cases such as Namibia and Western Sahara. The factors that accounted for the limited acceptance of International Court of Justice's compulsory jurisdiction by the African States were revisited. Until 1960, Africa was seen as an object rather than a subject. Today this has changed, particularly a few outstanding African Court events of the past half century demonstrated the contributions African states have made by using this path of international law.

Does GPUGrid take advantage of Quadro GPUs?
Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : Does GPUGrid take advantage of Quadro GPUs?
Basically, I got access to a Quadro GPU (can't remember the exact model right now..), and I intend to use it for Boinc.
While I know that any project that supports CUDA can make use of it, what I want to know is if GPUGrid takes advantage of the fact that it is a quadro (and it's extra features), for increased performance over a Gtx card with similar specs.
If not, do you guys know any project that make better use of such GPUs?
Message 41001 - Posted: 1 May 2015 | 20:34:03 UTC - in response to Message 40998.
Yes, a Quadro's a GPU like any other. Provided it's not too old, it'll run GPUGRID's application just fine.
Message 41003 - Posted: 1 May 2015 | 21:07:58 UTC - in response to Message 41001.
Yes, I know it'll run the applications.
But for instance, some professional programs have massive performance boosts when using Quadro cards, when compared with a Gtx card that has around the same specs. So the question: is GPUGrid one of those programs? And if not, do you know any Boinc project that is?
Message 41009 - Posted: 2 May 2015 | 14:37:17 UTC - in response to Message 41003.
The quadro's have special drivers that can do very neat things. They are used for medical imaging like all types of body scanners.
They are also very good with autocad in combination with a powerful PC.
For as far my experience goes they do not outperform in BOINC projects, as these prgrams are not working on the high graphics capabilities but for "simple" calculations. I have some very expensive quadro's, bought second hands in an used PC from a body scanner.
I used them with some project but newer consumer GPU's did WU's faster.
Now they are to old for almost all project, so I have taken them out of the PC and are now museum parts.
So bottom line not better, and even slow when to old. Oh and they like energy.
Message 41041 - Posted: 6 May 2015 | 5:53:33 UTC - in response to Message 40998.
Yes, QUADRO is neat...I use QUADRO 2000 on a work computer...been doing computation on it!
Message 41042 - Posted: 6 May 2015 | 21:42:32 UTC - in response to Message 40998.
runs perfectly well on a laptop with GPUGrid, though I need to run it as "Short Task" only since its power is not the best.

If you have been injured in a car accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. At the Law Offices of Robert Dixon, our firm helps clients through every part of the legal process, including preparing clients for statements and Examinations Under Oath (EUO). Our firm has extensive experience in handling insurance cases for Florida clients. An EUO could have serious consequences for your case, which is why you should reach out to a seasoned Miami car accident attorney regarding the matter and even take that attorney with you to the proceeding.
After an automobile accident, if an insured party files a claim for personal injury protection (PIP) benefits under an automobile insurance policy or a policy for medical payment coverage or uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, that party is very likely going to have to attend an EUO. Similarly, if you were a passenger in someone's car at the time of an accident and are seeking UM coverage, you will likely be required to give the insurance company a statement of EUO.
The EUO is a proceeding in which the insured is asked questions by the insurance company's representative, typically an attorney, in the presence of a certified court reporter under oath. Put another way, after an automobile accident involving injuries, an EUO gives an opportunity for a representative of a car insurance carrier to get answers from the insured under oath. As a policyholder, you are required to comply as part of the auto insurance company's accident claims investigation process.
If you fail to attend an EUO, your insurance claim could be denied. As a practical matter, this could cause you to be on the hook for medical bills that would have been paid by the insurance company. This is why it is imperative to attend the EUO, but with a skilled attorney who is familiar with the strategies insurance companies routinely use to deny or limit claims.
An EUO may last for several hours. In fact, it can last as long as the insurance company's lawyers want to keep you there. It is important to note that all EUO questions relevant to the claim or loss must be answered. Even questions that seem irrelevant that may lead to relevant information are permitted. Thus, you are required to answer pretty much any question you are asked. Refusing to answer any of the questions may result in the legitimate denial of a claim.
At the Law Offices of Robert Dixon, our skilled Miami car accident attorneys provide advice and guidance to clients during an EUO. We understand the nuances of Florida insurance law and can put our knowledge to use in your case. With years of experience, we are committed to protecting the rights of South Florida clients throughout the entire process. You can rest assured that we are here to answer your questions and address your concerns. To learn more about your legal rights and options, do not hesitate to call us at 1-877-499-HURT (4878) or contact us through our website.


Porcelain inspires me on account of its transparency, delicacy and purity. I use this material to make wall objects as well as utensils such as vases, bowls and tea lights. It allows me to overcome the weight and earthiness that frequently remains in the clay, making possible a dematerialisation and spiritualisation of the objects. The pure white also contributes to this, meaning that I need to use little colour in this work, instead employing highly diverse structures.
