An unnecessary, unexpected death can be profoundly tragic and painful. When these deaths have been caused by some act of negligence, recklessness or carelessness, it can be that much more difficult for the surviving loved ones to pick up the pieces. In these situations, however, families may have options for holding the negligent party or parties accountable.
In rare cases, exemplary or punitive damages may also be available. These damages, which are intended to punish the defendant and deter any party from engaging in similarly reckless behavior, can substantially increase the recoveries from wrongful death cases.
If you have lost a loved one to a wrongful death, you can rely on a personal injury lawyer at Buckingham Barrera Law Firm for vigorous advocacy and experienced help fighting for justice.

A map of frequent service to and from Factoria. The thick red line is the frequent corridor shared by routes 240 and 241 and the thick blue line is the peak-only frequent corridor shared by routes 114 and 240. The purple, green and orange lines represent the less-frequent portions of routes 114, 240 and 241, respectively.
When we wrote about how to implement frequent service in Factoria, we envisioned a likely yes vote on Proposition 1. However with the failure of the proposition, this vision will be impacted.
The 114 will be reduced to 3 trips in either direction, instead of 5 inbound and 4 outbound.
The 210 will be entirely deleted. This should not be a surprise as the only real source of ridership for the route is at Eastgate Park and Ride.
The 240 will end service at 9pm instead of 11pm.
The 241 will be cut to hourly midday and Saturdays.
The frequent service corridors for the 114/210 between Factoria and Downtown Seattle and the 210/240 in Eastgate will be deleted.
The frequent service corridor for the 114 and 240 in Newport Hills and Newcastle will loose service span.
The frequent service corridor for the 240 and 241 between Factoria and Downtown Bellevue will be kept (see below).
The reroute of the 241 off 108th Ave NE will save up to three minutes per trip outbound and five inbound, while improving the quality of service with no speed bumps and the elimination of the three turns required to reach Bellevue TC.
The big reroute of the 240 to reach Bellevue via Bellevue Way and 112th Ave SE instead of detouring to Eastgate Park-and-ride will save anywhere between 8 and 15 minutes per trip, depending on the time of the day. Those savings will reduce the length of the route (in time) by as much as 20%, allowing for slightly shorter layover times. Currently, the 240 has an extra-long 25-minute layover at each end of the route. It seems reasonable to cut those layover to 15-17 minutes considering the fact that the route is shorter. Combined with the shorter layover, the reroute would allow for each bus to basically run one bus earlier than currently for each turnback.

Another issue is routing in Newcastle. Currently buses come from Newcastle way (behind the photographer in the photo) then pull over into the bus stop, which is designed to have the bike lane away from it. The bus lane then becomes the right-turn lane onto Coal Creek Parkway. The buses eventually end-up running on Coal Creek parkway but not after making a detour which requires them to go straight at the above intersection, make an awkward right-turn at the top of the hill then enter Coal Creek Parkway via a left turn at a long light. This design creates conflict between the buses that must pull back into the middle lane to go straight, the cars that turn right and the bikes which have buses crossing into the lane twice.
The solution would see the buses take the right turn into Coal Creek directly, saving a couple minutes per trip. This makes more sense with the map shown below.
A map of what the reroute would look like. The red line would be the deleted routing, the green line would be the new routing and the blue lines indicate no change.
In the original post, it was mentioned that the 114 would need to be rerouted all the way to Eastgate Park and Ride via Factoria. Due to the funding shortfall it would only be rerouted to Factoria (to replace the 210 as the peak-only route to Downtown Seattle), but not to Eastgate Park and Ride.
So what does this all do?
The hours saved by rerouting the 241 off 108th Ave NE would accumulate as the day goes on, and provide additional trips to restore some mid-day service.
The 240's huge time savings would mostly be spent on adding trips to the 241 to keep half-hourly mid-day and Saturday service, although some savings would be used to keep the 240 running until 11pm. This restores service on routes 240 and 241 to their current levels.
The small time savings of the Newcastle detour would allow the 114 to detour off to Factoria without requiring more time on the run.
If the 240's re-route proves to be very successful and saves more revenue hours than expected, it could be spent on adding a fourth trip to route 114, thus keeping the 15-minute peak-only service south of Factoria for longer.

Weight loss reduces breast cancer risk for postmenopausal women
Rowan T. Chlebowski
SAN ANTONIO — A 5% weight loss reduced risk for breast cancer among a large cohort of postmenopausal women, according to study results presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
Although obesity is an established risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer, studies of the benefit of weight loss regarding breast cancer risk have provided inconsistent results, according to Rowan T. Chlebowski, MD, PhD, chief and professor-in-residence in medical oncology/hematology at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Current public health messaging for women at risk for breast cancer is limited to "avoid body fatness," Chlebowski said. "This suggests that if you're overweight or obese, it's too late to make a change to show benefit."
Thus, Chlebowski and colleagues evaluated associations between weight change categories and breast cancer incidence among 61,335 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 79 years from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study. The study — conducted between 1993 and 1998 — had a mean follow-up duration of 11.4 years.
"There was no [study] intervention," Chlebowski said. "We were watching these women as they go on their normal daily activities."
Researchers also explored the association between weight loss and breast cancer incidence by weight loss intentionality as a secondary analysis.
The analysis considered three weight categories: stable, 5% increase or 5% decrease.
"We looked at the 5% decrease, because this level has been shown to change some biochemical markers potentially associated with cancer and reduce the frequency of diabetes," Chlebowski said.
Patients provided height, weight and BMI measurements at baseline. Researchers asked patients if they gained or lost weight at year 3 — which Chlebowski described as a "tight window" of change — and whether the weight change was intentional or unintentional.
Compared with women with stable weight, women who had a 5% weight gain tended to be younger, black and heavy smokers (P < .01 for all).
Women with a greater than 5% weight loss had a higher BMI, were less likely to have used menopausal hormone therapy and were less physically active (P < .01 for all), which "is a paradox," Chlebowski said. He noted that this group had a BMI of 29.9 kg/m2, which made the researchers wonder whether their overweight was the motivating factor for their loss.
During follow-up, 3,061 women developed invasive breast cancer.
Results of a multivariable adjusted analysis showed that, compared with 41,139 women with stable weight, the 8,175 women with a 5% decrease in weight had significantly lower breast cancer risk (HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.78-0.98). The trend persisted in an analysis that adjusted for mammography (HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.78-0.99).
The 12,021 women who gained weight did not have an overall increase in breast cancer risk (HR = 1.02; 95% CI, 0.93-1.11).
"There was an increase in triple-negative breast cancer, which we don't have a good explanation for," Chlebowski said, noting an HR of 1.54 (95% CI, 1.16-2.05) in this group.
Other findings showed no significant difference in breast cancer risk among women who lost weight intentionally (HR = 0.91; 95% CI, 0.79-1.04) or unintentionally (HR = 0.82; 95% CI, 0.68-0.99).
"These findings suggest that weight loss interventions in postmenopausal women may reduce breast cancer risk," Chlebowski concluded. "These are very optimistic findings in that they provide a lesson to postmenopausal women — even a modest weight loss may provide a health benefit. This is a relatively new finding that should have public health implications." – by Rob Volansky

Obesity rates have been increasing in the United States. Studies have suggested a link between obesity and breast cancer risk. We now have data from follow-up of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study showing that postmenopausal women who had a greater than 5% weight loss had a significantly lower breast cancer incidence. In addition, women in the study who had a greater than 5% weight gain did not demonstrate an overall higher incidence of breast cancer. However, such women had a significantly higher incidence of triple-negative breast cancer. Further research will be needed to help understand this association.

Uhhhh...maybe because the suspect is a mental case and acted completely alone?
We need crazy people control. The killer believed that he was being bombarded with ultrasonic waves.
Police should never patrol alone. A partner could have put this animal down in a hot minute.
Why don't we have crazy people control? It's not like no one knew. This wasn't a sudden snap. Open asylums. Put the dangerous away.
Cases like this do not justify the invasion of this country nor the protection of the invaders.
Refresh our memories...who is it who got rid of laws keeping guns from the mentally I'll...aka white males?
What about fat white women?
Playing the race card,, ,, well of course!
Refresh our memories...how is it that laws will keep guns from the mentally ill...or criminals for that matter?
You won't hear anything from conservatives about a white killer murdering a LEO of color because it doesn't advance the right's agenda of bigotry and racism.

It's A Rut
September and October is the rut (mating) season for the elk. It is worth going to Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) during the rut season to see it for yourself. I have found that RMNP offers some of the best, close up viewing in the United States. It is intense and can be viewed from the roadside.
I had the privilege of observing a fox family for a few days in the early April. The mom made her den near Lake Michigan at the top of a hill, in a heavily populated area. They are an attractive animal with a rusty reddish body, white underpants, chin, and throat, and a long bushy tail with a white tip. They have prominent pointed ears. The backs of ears, lower legs, and feet are black. The distinguishing feature which sets them apart from all other fox species is the white-tipped tail. Their average height is 15-16" tall, 35-41" long and weigh between 8 and 15 pounds.
The Red Fox is very sensitive to low-frequency sounds, which sets it apart from most other mammals. The fox listens for underground noises such as digging, gnawing, and the rustling of small animals. When he detects these sounds, he will dig frantically into the ground or snow to capture the animal. He stalks its prey much like a cat, by moving in as close as possible, then running down the prey when it bolts. The Red Fox will continue hunting even if he is full, burying excess food under snow, leaves, or soft dirt. He appears to find his cache by memory and smell, although other animals sometimes find the cache first, before it is retrieved by the Red Fox. An adult fox usually does not retire into a den in the winter but will curl into a ball in the open and wrap its bushy tail around his nose and foot pads. At times he is blanketed by snow while in this position.
Swimming with Ghosts
Diving is full of surprises, especially the Indo Pacific. New species of fish and marine life are being discovered on a regular basis in this underwater paradise. Even though divers come prepared to look for the many fish known to be in this area, finding them can sometimes be a difficult task. One of the most difficult fish to spot is the Ghost Pipe Fish. They are masters at camouflage, hiding among crinoids, plant life or mimicking sticks, sea grass, and other underwater vegetation, depending on the species. This ability to camouflage themselves in their underwater habitat, puts them on the list of creatures for whom divers search.
Ghost Pipefish are sexually dimorphic so the male and female are easily distinguishable. The male is about ½ the size of the female. During breeding season, the Ghost Pipe Fish will change their color and their shape to camouflage themselves even better.
Mandarin Fish
Mandarin Fish, (Synchiropus splendidus), are found in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia. I found these colorful jewels of the sea in the Northern Sulawesi diver's paradise of Bunaken and the Lembeh Strait. These small fish (1 to 2 inches) are strikingly beautiful with their body designs of squiggles, swirls, dots, and stripes in bright colors of orange, green, blue, and yellow. Their name comes from the resemblance to the robes of Imperial Chinese officers known as mandarin. These beautiful fish are members of the dragonete family. Mandarin fish are dimorphic, which means they can accomplish the sexual and reproductive traits of either, if they lack mates of the opposite sex. The males typically have more orange color on their faces, and larger bodies, while the females have smaller dorsal fins. Even with their distinctive markings, mandarin fish are very difficult to locate in their native habitat.

Ilya Matveyevich Konkov (; 1872 – 16 October 1920) was a Russian stage actor better known under his stage name Uralov (Уралов).

Biography
Born in Orsk to the family of Orenburg Cossacks, Konkov spent his youth travelling all over Russia,  undertaking menial jobs. While in Ashkhabad, in late 1890s he joined a visiting Ukrainian theatre troupe. In 1904 he was invited to the Komissarzhevskaya Theatre in Saint Petersburg where he made himself a name in plays by Maxim Gorky, in particular, Summerfolk (as Dvoyetochiye, 1904) and Children of the Sun (Chepurnoy, 1905).

In 1907 Ilya Uralov (as he was now known) joined the Moscow Art Theatre where his premiere parts included Varlaam (in Alexander Pushkin's Boris Godunov, 1907), Someone in Grey (The Life of Man, 1907), the Mayor (Revizor, 1908), Bolshintsov (A Month in the Country, Ivan Turgenev, 1909) and Grigory (The Karamazov Brothers, after Dostoyevsky's novel, 1910). In 1911 Uralov left the theatre to join Alexandrinka; Stanislavsky later called MAT's decision to let him go a 'regrettable mistake'.

During his eight years stint with the Alexanrinsky Theatre (which he in 1918 became one of the administrators of), Uralov has made his mark with his "juicy, fulsome realism"; his acclaimed work included Peter the Great (The Assembly by Pyotr Gnedich), Dikoy (The Storm by Alexander Ostrovsky), Varavvin (The Case and Rasplyuyev's Merry Days by Aleksandr Sukhovo-Kobylin), Knurov (Without a Dowry by Ostrovsky), Bessemenov (The Philistines by Gorky), and Skotinin (The Minor by Denis Fonvizin).

Ilya Uralov died in 1920 in  Novhorod-Siverskyi, Chernihiv, Ukraine (then Soviet Russia). The Soviet actor Yakov Malyutin left a memoir on Uralov in a book called The Actors of My Generation.

Second synagogue from Second Temple Period found in Migdal in North
December 13, 2021 by TPS
A 2000-year-old synagogue from the Second Temple period was recently discovered in Migdal, a large Jewish settlement from this period, the first time that two synagogues from the Second Temple period have been found in the same locale.
The excavation. (University of Haifa)
Migdal served as the main base for Yosef Ben Matityahu (Flavius Josephus) in his war against the Romans in Galilee during the Great Revolt.
"The discovery of a second synagogue in this Galilean settlement casts light on the social and religious lives of the Jews in the area in this period, and reflects a need for a dedicated building for Torah reading and study and for social gatherings," commented Dina Avshalom-Gorni, one of the directors of the excavations.
"We can imagine Mary Magdalene and her family coming to the synagogue here, along with other residents of Migdal, to participate in religious and communal events. The exposure of a second synagogue casts new light on Jewish communal life in the Galilee, the area where, according to the New Testament, Jesus performed his miracles," she added.
The archeological excavations at the site are being conducted by Y.G. Contractual Archeology Ltd., headed by Yehuda Govrin, and under the academic auspices of the Zinman Institute of Archaeology at the University of Haifa.
As in many other instances across Israel, the important discovery was chanced upon as pst of a construction project, in this case, a salvage excavation as part of the expansion of Route 90 and the Migdal intersection.
Situated on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, Migdal was a large Jewish settlement 2,000 years ago. Following the destruction of the Second Temple, it served Flavius Josephus as his main base in his war against the Romans in the Galilee.
Migdal is also mentioned in Christian texts as the birthplace of Mary Magdalene, a prominent supporter of Jesus who is known as "the apostle to the apostles."
The eastern side of Migdal was excavated over a decade ago by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). A synagogue discovered at the time was also dated to the Second Temple period.
A unique stone was uncovered in the centre of the synagogue bearing a relief of a seven-branched Menorah. The researchers suggest that the artist who created the relief was replicating the Menorah positioned in the Temple.
The newly-excavated synagogue is described as "a broad, square-shaped building" constructed from basalt and limestone. It comprises a central hall and two additional rooms. The walls of the central hall are coated with white and coloured plaster. A stone bench, also coated in plaster, runs along the walls. In a small room on the south side of the hall, a plaster-coated stone shelf was found. The room may have been used to store scrolls.
The building uncovered in the 2009 excavations was the first synagogue from the Second Temple period found in the Galilee, and the ninth in the entire country. Now, a second synagogue has been found in the same settlement.
Prof. Adi Erlich, head of the Zinman Institute of archaeology at the University of Haifa. Said that "the fact that we have found two synagogues shows that the Jews of the Second Temple period were looking for a place for religious, and perhaps also social, gatherings. The stone bearing a relief of the Menorah from the other synagogue at Migdal, suggests that the local Jews saw Jerusalem as their religious centre, and their local activities took place under this centrality."
"The synagogue we are excavating now is close to the residential street, whereas the one excavated in 2009 was surrounded by an industrial area. Thus the local synagogues were constructed within the social fabric of the settlement," he explained.

This bourbon peach glazed chicken with maple roasted asparagus is a great blend of sweet and savory, all out of our own creation.
We made a delicious glaze using a jelly base (we used Amaretto Peach Pecan), a few splashes of bourbon, and some chopped peaches. We brushed a little bit on some boneless, skinless chicken breast and popped these on the grill outside. We made sure to reserve a good chunk of the glaze to brush on top when the chicken came off of the grill because it is so, so good!
While the chicken was on the grill, I used my mister to spray a thin layer of olive oil on the asparagus. Then I poured about a tablespoon of maple syrup over the asparagus and used my fingers to rub it all over the asparagus tips. I added some chopped pecans among the asparagus to get them nice and toasted and give a nice extra crunch to each bite of vegetable.
Be sure to top your chicken with lots of the peach sauce and some chunks of peaches. Your mouth will thank you!
Perfect for a healthy summer grill out!

Charges against former Reliance Communications officials on call manipulating
New Delhi, July 2 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) has filed charges against then director of Reliance Infocomm Manoj Modi and five others for an alleged scam where international phone calls were passed off as local, causing huge losses to the exchequer.
According to CBI sources, the charges under Criminal Conspiracy Act were filed in the court of additional chief metropolitan magistrate at Egmore in Chennai.
Also named as accused are Akhil Gupta, Shankar Adawal, Pankaj Powar, K.R. Raju and Bhagwan Das Khurana of Reliance Infocomm. The CBI said they had conspired to mask international calls as local.
The investigative agency said the case pertained to the time when Reliance Infocomm was still a functional company and part of the undivided Reliance Industries group.
The company's name was changed after the Ambani brothers – Mukesh and Anil – split their businesses and the telecom business went to the younger brother. The company was since renamed Reliance Communications.
In September 2006, when similar charges were framed, a spokesperson for the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group had said that the issue pertained to a period prior to the reorganization of the group and that they had nothing to do with it.
'The officials accused by the Central Bureau of Investigations are from the Reliance Industries Ltd group and have nothing to do with the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group,' a spokesperson for the company had said.
Even though the case pertained to earlier, it came to light a year after the split in the Reliance empire, when the premier investigative agency launched a thorough probe into the possible loss to the exchequer on account of overseas calls being passed off as local.
